I can preview but not render? Black frames?

I've taken some footage from an HDV camcorder...I did some editing in Premiere, then imported the timeline into After Effects CS3 (latest version). I had no problems when I was working on time remapping and color correction...RAM previews worked fine.
Now, when I try to export to any format (Quick Time, AVI Uncompressed, image sequence), After Effects will render a few frames just fine, then render a few frames as nothing but black (except for the stuff that's not the HDV video). The footage is being interpreted correctly, and I've tried every combination of that and the fields settings when exporting.
I don't understand why I can RAM preview and scrub through the timeline and see every frame just fine, but After Effects cannot render it to file.
Anyone have any ideas? I worked for days on this project...
Since I can scrub the timeline, is there a way to write a script to make After Effects go frame by frame, wait for the comp preview to render, then export THAT image as a PNG or something, since I know that works?
I'll never try to edit HDV again without some sort of intermediate, but is there any way to save THIS project?
Thanks for your help.

If this happens to anyone else, I found a workaround. It's slower than crap, but it works for now...until AE can deal with HDV footage better.
Like Mylenium said, trash multi-core rendering, that was an important step. On my quad core machine, I threw about 80% of the RAM to the cache, and had it render WITHOUT OpenGL as a PNG image sequence.
After Effects halted 5 or 6 times during the 4,000 frame render. It would usually have a bizarre error, then Windows would complain about virtual memory. I would just dismiss the error, reload AE, and begin rendering from the last good frame. It took a few hours, but I got all the frames, then rendered the image sequence to a movie.
Tedious and frustrating, but it worked. Hope this helps someone else in the future.

Can send but not retrieve emails using Thunderbird and Windows 8.1

Hi, I am not able to get Thunderbird to retrieve emails on a new laptop.
Last week I purchased a new laptop due to an imminent hard disk failure on my old laptop. I will call them "Old" and "New" laptops. (Old laptop is still working for the moment...)
The Old laptop is nearly 3 years old, and I have been using Thunderbird on it since new without any problems.
I have downloaded and installed Thunderbird on the New laptop, and can not get it to retrieve emails.
As the Old laptop is still working (at the moment), I am able to directly visually compare and check settings on both computers.
THE PROBLEM
Using Thunderbird on the New laptop, I am able to send emails, I can see all my old emails restored from the Old laptop using Mozbackup, but clicking Get Mail on the New laptop does not retrieve new
emails.
When I click Get Mail, the status message in the bottom left corner says "connected to .....<ISP>..." but does not actually get the emails. However, the Old laptop is still able to get emails as it always has.
My ISP is a large Australian telco that I have used for many years and I have not changed anything with my account. The ISP is POP3.
WHAT HAVE I TRIED
I deleted the email account created by restoring from Mozbackup, and attempted using the Thunderbird new account wizard, however Thunderbird did not recognise my ISP and would not create the account - even though it is working perfectly at the same time on the Old laptop.
All Firewalls I can find have been configured to allow Thunderbird, with the same configuration settings on both machines.
How do I know I can send but not Get emails from Thunderbird on the New laptop?
I have sent test emails to myself from the New laptop. Thunderbird sends successfully, I am able to preview the test emails via Mailwasher on the New laptop, and can read, reply, etc, to the emails if I log into my ISP webmail service. However I can NOT get Thunderbird to retrieve and download these emails on the New laptop. If I go to the Old laptop, Thunderbird works perfectly, retrieves and downloads all new emails, including these test emails.
I am now at the point where I do not know what else to try and would appreciate any suggestions.....
I have spent many hours over the last 3 days surfing the net, forums, Mozilla Support, etc, and tried everything suggested, without success. The only thing I have NOT tried is starting windows in Safe mode (as per some suggestions), as it is not a viable long term solution.
OTHER INFO
Computer Details;-
"Old" laptop;-
Windows 7 Home Premium - continuously updated with all Critical and Important updates. 64 bit version.
Antivirus = Bitdefender Total Security (subscription and licensed). Up to date.
MailwasherPro 2012 (subscription and licensed). Up to date.
Thunderbird 24.5.0 working perfectly. Up to date.
"New" laptop;-
Windows 8.1 - up to date with all Critical and Important updates. 64 bit version.
Antivirus = Bitdefender Total Security (subscription and licensed) - downloaded and installed. Up to date.
MailwasherPro 2012 (subscription and licensed) - downloaded and installed. Up to date.
Thunderbird 24.5.0 - downloaded and installed.
Note: I 'downloaded and installed' the Windows 8.1 version of these programs to avoid any potential compatibility problems restoring or copying from a Windows 7 backup version of the programs.
1) New laptop came with pre-installed with McAfee - which has been Uninstalled due to running Bitdefender (Windows searches for 'McAfee' return nothing found suggesting the Uninstall was successful).
2) Thunderbird has been added to both Bitdefender and Windows 8.1 firewalls on the New laptop.
3) Bitdefender and Windows security settings are identical on both laptops - as near as I can determine, I may be missing something - but have checked all settings 3 times by doing a side-by-side visual comparison.
4) Thunderbird settings are also identical and I am using the same email address and ISP that I have been using for many years.
5) I migrated Thunderbird settings, accounts and emails from the Old laptop to the New laptop using Mozbackup, then visually checked and compared all settings in Thunderbird between the two machines.
6) For info, I have used Mailwasher for many years as a simple way to preview and wash mail before running email programs such as Thunderbird - might be overkill, but I have also never had a virus or malware problem, so will keep doing this.
7) I have Uninstalled and re-installed Thunderbird on the New laptop twice, and done the same with Bitdefender once.
8) Any config changes I try on the New laptop, I either restart Thunderbird and / or restart the New laptop, or both.
9) I have not created a Windows 8.1 account and am not using SkyDrive.
10) Only other software I have installed on the New laptop is Google Chrome, Office Home 2013 and iTunes - all are working.
Thanks in advance....

Well there is not much left. If telnet works then the path is clear and there is no hardware firewall blocking ports.
All that is left is software, so try windows safe mode with networking. A very handy way to eliminate software. it also actually disables most anti virus resident features and is preferred here because anti virus/security programs do not always disable or turn off when they say they have.
You might also try the McAfee removal tool. https://community.mcafee.com/thread/52788 I notice the rep said yes to both, they did not say not required.
Finally you could try creating a new profile, and see if it works just to exclude corruption of your existing profile. ( I doubt it but I am at the anything goes point)
Just as an aside, I have never had an email borne nasty and I for many years never even had an email virus scanner. So yes I think your a bit over cautious with mailwasher, if that is what your using it for. Thunderbird does not support scripting languages or flash, or most plugins in the email sandbox. The result is getting a virus from a mail in Thunderbird is really only possible, for all practical purposes, if you open that password protected zip from the young Russian woman and that is what the anti virus should be blocking anyway when the temp file is written.

Two issues getting a headless error form windows & my clips audio plays in the preview but not once placed in th timeline. I taped with a panasonic HC 750 V. i believe it is with clips filmed using directed not surround audio.

The title more or less says it all. I have Elements 13 & am Using the Panasonic HC 750V. I shot in AVCHD 1080/60p & instead of surround sound choose the directed feature to focus on the voices in front of me. The audio works in preview but not on the timeline. I am also getting Headless errors when working with premiere that pop up in windows but it does not shut down the system.
Any help apprecaited.

pc
Have you updated your Premiere Elements 13 to 13.1 using an opened project's Help Menu/Update. If not, please do so.
Just some points of clarification on the AVCHD 1080/60p with which you are having audio problem in Premiere Elements 13.
a. I see no option to record to tape with your Panasonic model. Is there one? if not, what was recorded to, a memory card?
b. When you talk about directed not surround audio, are you saying that your video uses Dolby Digital 2 channel stereo instead of 5.1 channel?
c. Is your AVCHD footage presented to you as AVCHD.mts rather than AVCHD.mp4. I think that is the case if you are referring to Dolby Digital
rather than AAC audio.
Are you saying that you get play back video and audio if you double click the video's thumbnail in Project Assets, but you get video but no audio after you drag the file to the Timeline and play back its contents in the Edit area monitor?
a. Have you checked the Volume control under the Adjust Tab/Adjustments Palette/Volume Panel expanded to make sure the Volume has been taken all the way down? Under that condition, you will get play back in the Preview Window, but no audio from the Timeline level play back in the Edit area monitor.
b. In that same regard, if you look at the Timeline audio clip, note a yellow orange line that runs horizontally across the duration of the audio clip. Is that at the bottom of the frame or is it in the middle or at the top?
Do you work with the Elements Organizer at all? That Headess issue sounds like an Elements Organizer issue. More on that later. That issue should not prevent you from continuing your work. But we will explore that next.
Thanks.

Load swf works in Publish Preview but not when published

Hi Folks,
I having a problem where im trying to load two 1mb SWF movies into my Flash piece. It works fine in Publish Preview but not when I finally publish. I get this error in IE:
SecurityError: Error #2000: No active security context.
I have googled around and there is some talk online of a hack where by you get a timeout to overcome this. However im not so technical do I dont really know how to do this to my code in AS3. My code at the moment is below.
Any help would be much appreciated and rewarded with Karma
movieClip_12.addEventListener(MouseEvent.CLICK, fl_ClickToLoadUnloadSWF_9);
var fl_Loader_9:Loader;
//This variable keeps track of whether you want to load or unload the SWF
var fl_ToLoad_9:Boolean = true;
function fl_ClickToLoadUnloadSWF_9(event:MouseEvent):void
if(fl_ToLoad_9)
fl_Loader_9 = new Loader();
fl_Loader_9.load(new URLRequest("search.swf"));
addChild(fl_Loader_9);
else
fl_Loader_9.unload();
removeChild(fl_Loader_9);
fl_Loader_9 = null;
// Toggle whether you want to load or unload the SWF
fl_ToLoad_9 = !fl_ToLoad_9;
movieClip_14.addEventListener(MouseEvent.CLICK, fl_ClickToLoadUnloadSWF_10);
var fl_Loader_10:Loader;
//This variable keeps track of whether you want to load or unload the SWF
var fl_ToLoad_10:Boolean = true;
function fl_ClickToLoadUnloadSWF_10(event:MouseEvent):void
if(fl_ToLoad_10)
fl_Loader_10 = new Loader();
fl_Loader_10.load(new URLRequest("refunds.swf"));
addChild(fl_Loader_10);
else
fl_Loader_10.unload();
removeChild(fl_Loader_10);
fl_Loader_10 = null;
// Toggle whether you want to load or unload the SWF
fl_ToLoad_10 = !fl_ToLoad_10;

I think this is either a problem with my site preLoader or my external .swf Loader. I was checking out the bandwith profiler and saw something weird and I wondered if anyone could explain...I've added a picture. I have a blank frame on only my actions layer to export classes to and it seems that frame 2 is "bleeding" into frame 1. Could this be my problem? Why would this happen? Thanks

Simple buttons working in Preview, but not on iPad

Hello everyone. I have a Button (I'm working in InDesign CS6), with instructions "Go to State". It links to a photo on a seperate layer. The link works perfectly in the SWF preview (shift-command-return). But when I update the file to view it in Adobe Viewer it does not work. (I am using Viewer Vers 25) There are no other functions on the page that could be "blocking" it. In fact, on some pages where there are two or three buttons (all of them with instructions of "Go to State"), 2 may work and one not. I am confused as to how I can see it working in the Preview, but not on the iPad. Any suggestions appreciated. Many thanks!!

Bob, just got in and downloaded the patch - the buttons are working perfectly now!!
Thank you for taking the time to help me out!! I'll be more diligent from now on in checking for updates. Thanks again. James

HP DJ1510 AIO Printer-CAN SCAN BUT NOT PRINT

I installed SW & HW as per HP instructions on my comp (WinXP-SP2). Scanning worked but cannot print as the printer driver (which may be missing or faulty on the CD and also in installation files downloaded from HP web site) does not get installed.
HP, India has not come up with any solution to this issue despite my spending many hours with them since 20/9/14.
HP needs to give me a patch for installing printer driver in my OS, which should not be difficult for a company like HP.
I am now frustrated with this HP product & its service. All promises but nofollow up or even phones are not picked up
Who will help me or should I throw away this HP printer.
BM Shah

Hi @bmsprinter,
Welcome to the HP Forums!
I understand that your HP Deskjet 1510 can scan but not print with Windows XP (Service Pack 2). I am happy to help!
According to your printer's specifications, found at this website, HP Deskjet 1510 and Deskjet Ink Advantage 1510 All-in-One Printer Series Product Specifications. This printer is only supported on Windows XP (Service Pack 3) and above. You can select System requirements, and then Windows system requirements, once you have visited that website.
Also, please take a look at this reply, Re: cannot find priner, by my colleague @Jamieson, from your older post, that will help you upgrade your Windows XP Service Pack.
Hope this information is helpful, and have a wonderful day!

Using osx 10.7.5 can send but not receive emails. Mail server support rep tried everything

Using iMac with OSX 10.7.5. Can send but not receive emails. No problem with internet account. Server rep tried everything and suggested perhaps a corrupted file in the op syst. Any ideas?

You may have a corrupt preference. Mail - Preferences - Accounts - click the offending account and re-enter all prefereneces. Also you can use Apple's OS X Mail: Troubleshooting sending and receiving email messages located at:

I can send but not receive email

Hello All. I know this is a highly posted topic but I cannot find a solution. Any help is greatly appreciated.
Basic Problem- I can send but not receive email.
My ISP is. Yahoo SBC Global
I have a 3rd party email provider: 1and1.com
I have set my preferences according to the specifications of 1and1.com
The error I get is this: The server error encountered was: The attempt to read data from the server "pop.1and.com" failed.
I have a Macbook Pro, running 10.4.9. My account with the 3rd party email provider is new and only has 1 or two emails in the account. I know this because I can log on via the internet and use their website to check the emails in the inbox. So the "email" address is working. I just can't get it to forward to my laptop.
I'm wondering if it has something to do with port 110 being blocked by my ISP. But I really don't think they are blocking that port. Due to the fact that my previous computer was a dell, and I used a similar 3rd party provider to email, the account used port 110 and things worked fine.
Thanks to all.

Ok. I've got it working.
All I did was delete my account information from the preferences. Before, I was editing it.
I entered a completely new POP account and it started working. I have a hard time believing that I entered information incorrectly prior to this because I checked it, rechecked it had a friend check it and it all looked OK. I was copy and pasting information anyway.
However, once I deleted and re- entered a brand new account, it worked fine.
Ernie, thanks for replying to my emails! I appreciate it.

2nd Gen ATV I can hear but not see on the TV when trying to stream TV from the iPad2

You can look at the ipad under settings, general, about and see if it's 4.3.3.
Or when you connect the ipad to the computer with itunes, it'll tell you on the first tab if you need an update.

Standard text displayed correctly in print preview but not in print

Hi,
I have a script in which a standard text has to be printed in the output.
The standard text contains some german characters.
These characters are displayed correctly in print preview but not in print.
The text is maintained in 3 languages DE,EN and Russian.
The same text is being printed in some standard report. But that is displayed correctly both in print and print preview.
Please suggest something.
Regards,
Richa Aggarwal

Hi Richa,

It indicates that you have to be sure to select "Unicode" fonts for your SAPScript form to ensure the proper printing of "Unicode" characters. If a character does not display then that means it does not exist in the font that you are using.

One I had done this I was able to send from my main email and other email adddresses set up under my account."
Superb advice R&W! My email sending block using TalkTalk started 2 months ago using Snow Leopard, continued when I upgraded to 10.8.2, and has been persistent on my wife's new iPad (IOS 6.1). Implementing your wise words has fixed all that, and now enables me to call her on FaceTime — previously only she could call me. Thank you so much; this will save hours of further fruitless searching and phoning.
Please remember that your email is now insecure, if you wish to have a secure connection SSL must be on and port 25 should be avoided.

Button hyperlinks work in project preview but not in published .swf

Captivate 6, button hyperlinks work in project preview but not in published .swf, the cursor changes the “the hand” but the hyperlink does not redirect.
Any ideas?
Like I said my buttons work great in preview mode after publishing, one click and the PDF opens in a new browser window. Open the project through the published .swf files and the links will not work.
Using Captivate 6 on WIndows 7

Hello,
Welcome to Adobe Forums.
Once your project published, add the .swf file in Flash Global Setting :
1) Right Click on the content (Published .swf file) and click on Global Settings
2) Go to Advanced Tab and Click on Trusted Location Settings (Scrool down to see this button)
3) Click on "Add" button and then "Add file", browse for the Captivate 6 published file and click on OK
4) Launch the .htm file again (Location where Captivate publish your project)
Hope this helps !!
Thanks,
Vikram
