I can't render an Uncompressed Alpha layer. Help

HI
I did my project in premiere. One layer has the band playing and the layer above has all the cut away scenes.
I exported the bottom layer of the band footage and did all the colour correction etc on it and am now trying to do the same for the second layer.
The problem is there are gaps in the footage where the layer below would be playing. So when I export the second layer, black is displayed and this covers up the footage below in After Effects. A uncompressed 10bit AVI does not give me an option of millions+ colours or rendering with alpha. I just tried rendering as un uncompressed Quicktime codec with millions + colours ticked but it did the same.
How can I get uncompressed footage with an alpha layer so that I can see the footage in the layer below when there is nothing to be displayed in the layer above?
The shoots are different so thats why I'm doing 2 different colour corrections
thanks
Jamie

Using Premiere Pro CS3,
I put a quicktime movie (.mov) I had made in AE with an alpha channel on the timeline. I just wanted to test to see if I could export out of Premiere as a quicktime movie with an alpha channel.
However, using Export - Movie - under File type, I don't have quicktime as an option. I do have cineform, but I'm using a regular NTSC widescreen preset.
Has quicktime been added as an option for an output file type say in CS4?
Thanks,
John Rich

How can i 'solidify' more an object/layer?

Hello, i'm using Particular particles on AE, and if i duplicate the layer, the color of the particle seems a lot more consistent, so i want to know if there's any other way (not only for particles) to kind of duplicate the object, but without doing it, because it takes a lot of time more to render.
Thanks in regard.

The look of your particles in Particular has a lot to do with the settings in the plug-in and the blend modes used both internally and for the layer. If you have a layer that takes a lot of resources to render and you want to duplicate it and stack up the effects there are basically two options. The first, which results in a little bit of time savings in render time, is to Pre-compose and then duplicate the Pre-comp in the current comp. In your example you would pre-compose your particular layer then dupe that layer and do what you need with the two copies to get the look you want. This give you a comp where Particular is only calculated once. The second option, which results in a much bigger increase in performance is to render and replace your layer that is using up system resources. This can save a bunch of time when using Particular and doing other things but the animations and effects on the rendered layers are now locked and more difficult to edit. For effects that I KNOW that I'm not going to change and that take up a lot of system resources I almost always Render and Replace. Warp Stabilizing is one effect that is always rendered and replaced unless the shot is only a couple of seconds long. Once Warp Stabilized footage is rendered and replaced I delete the Warp Stabilizer effect because it's a huge liability in the comp even if it's just sitting there and you're not doing anything with that layer or comp again.

FLV Video - Alpha Layer Not Working

Hi I have a strange problem. I am trying to encode a AVI
video into a FLV flash video which includes an alpha layer. These
are the steps I have taken as follows:
1. Created animation in photoshop, saved as PNG files.
Imported files into Flash, and the alpha works great (but the size
is too large, so I switched to embedded FLV video).
2. Took PNG files and imported then in Premiere Pro 2 and
exported the video with the 32-bit Cinepak Radius codec, with a
million colors. (I don't know if its 32-bit, as it says it no where
in the export options).
3. Encode the AVI with Flash CS3 Video Encoder, using On2 VP6
codec with Encode Alpha Channel enabled.
Result, either the clip is completely black or the video
doesn't have an alpha channel when imported into Flash. I am
thinking the clips that are completely black are the AVIs that had
an alpha channel.
Below is the AVI clip, if anyone can tell me if it has an
alpha channel by encoding it to a FLV video OR can offer any help,
thank you.

PS. I have searched the internet for hours for related info
or similar problems, but have not encountered a solution. I have
even downloaded Sorenson Squeeze and have tried multiple
codecs.

You set your texture environment mode to GL_REPLACE. The implementation of this feature is to replace the primary color (set via ColorPointer or Color3f) with the sampled texture value, so your color will have no effect.
Replace the texture env mode with GL_MODULATE, which will multiply the Texture Unit Input Color (==PrimaryColor for Texture Unit 1) with the sampled texture value.

Need a export format wich keep manage "alpha layer"

I got an animation with a transparent form on blackground, someone told me that if i export the animation with ".mov / animation compression" that will be ok and i keep the alpha layer (transparent form) in my vj software... but that fail...
There are some parameters i need to fix or i need to use an other export format?
Thanks.

I'm not surprised. You only got a partial answer. You created NO transparency following those instructions.
Add your comp to the AE render Queue. Open the Output Module. Select Quicktime Movie, Animation codec.
Now here is the information those geniuses didn't give you: Select RGB+Alpha and Millions of Colors +. You will find an additional setting: Straight or Premultiplied. I suggest you render both. Use AE's Add Output Module command, set one of the renders to a Straight Alpha Channel, the other to the Premultiplied alpha channel.
Oh, and don't forget to give the files two different names.
One of them will work, and then you will know which kind of alpha channel you need to render in the future.

How can I render an active link (yrl) within a UIX/XML page

How can I render an active link (url) within a UIX/XML page.
How can I get <jbo:ShowValue> to work in UIX/XML, or is there another way?
Bill G...

It may seem strange, but the <contents> of <rawText> aren't actually
raw - it's only the "text" attribute that's raw. (It seems strange because
it is. Ah well.) This is different from UIX JSP.
So, try something like the following:
<bc4j:attrScope name="Notes">
<contents>
<rawText text="<a href=""/>
<rawText>
<boundAttribute name="text">
<bc4j:attrProperty name="value"/>
</boundAttribute>
</rawText text="">"/>
Some text in the link.
<rawText text="</a>"/>
</contents>
<bc4j:attrScope>
Thankfully, this will be much simpler in 9.0.3, when the following
will work:
<link text="Whatever you want">
<boundAttribute name="destination">
<bc4j:attrValue name="Notes"/>
</boundAttribute>
</link>

Can Lightroom render 1:1 Previews when importing my Photos?

Q: Can Lightroom render 1:1 Previews when importing my Photos?
FAQ revised 25 April 2009
Ans: Prior to version 1.3 Lightroom did not support 1:1 preview rendering during import, the actual options for Initial Previews being: Embedded or Standard. However, more recent versions allow four types of previews to be rendered during import (i.e. Minimal, Embedded & Sidecar, Standard,and 1:1). It's also worth noting the following on Lightroom import behaviour:
1. Minimal (Lightroom default) or Embedded & Sidecar is by far the quickest method for getting your photos into the Lightroom catalog. However, the lack of Standard, which is the minimum that Lightroom can actually work with, means that the application will render standard-sized on demand (i.e. as thumbs/photos become visible within the photo Content area). Asking Lightroom to undertake this task at the same time as you're trying to use the application will result in sub optimal performance.
2. Importing your photos with the Standard preview selected within the Import dialog will take longer than 1 above, but on completion Lightroom will already have previews that match the minimum requirement for working in the Library. Assuming that you won't be looking at every image at 100% (i.e 1:1) then this preview size will allow you to quickly review, rate, label, even make quick colour/tone adjustments, etc the photos within the Library module. If you need to see a photo at 100% then Lightroom will render that preview on demand (while it's being rendered you'll see the "Rendering Preview" overlay appear at bottom of preview). Note that when using a 23" or larger monitor it to is best to set the Standard sized previews so that they are rendered at 2048 pixels
3. Importing your photos with the 1:1 preview size selected will result in Lightroom taking even longer to complete the import process than would have been the case if standard-sized had been chosen. 1:1 previews also take up significantly more disk space than standard-sized.
If you're not going to be working on the photos immediately after import but do need to get them into Lightroom as quickly as possible, then the best option would be to choose import option 1. Once the photos have been imported choose either Render Standard-sized Previews or Render 1:1 previews from Library module Library>Previews menu.

When I search these forums for "CFCopyFormattingDescription", I find a bunch of crash reports posted that look almost exactly the same as mine. It appears there's a bug in iPhoto, perhaps when reading metadata from the JPG file (readRawTiffPropsFromPath).
Interestingly, the Preview app can open and display the file just fine. I even opened the inspector and it showed all of the TIFF and exif metadata just fine, no crash. The file also opens just fine on Windows.
Now how do we get the attention of the iPhoto development team so I can send them the photos, have them reproduce the crash, and fix it?

Adobe Media Encoder can´t render out AE Ray-Trace Composition

Hey,
AME can´t render out my composition (or sequence if i include the comp in a PP sequence) which includes some 3D stuff.
I am able to render it out in AE in a few minutes, preview it easily in AE and even in PP but i´m not able to render it out in AME or PP.
AME says it would take like 10+ Hours to render it and doesn´t come to an end.
I tried multiple encoding settings but nothing worked.
Also i checked, that cuda rendering is enabled in all my Adobe programs, but nothing helped...
AE File .aep :
Dropbox - Twitch Infovideo.aep
AME .epr Preset for encoding :
Dropbox - Media Encoder Error Test.epr
Thanks for helping,

It raises another question: what settings do I need to encode the comp in 720p resolution without taking up lots of space?
Well, it depends on whether you need a production master (something for broadcast, for example, or to use as a source for other encoding tasks) or if you want a version for distribution. If it's the former, there's nothing wrong with "lots of space" - A Quicktime file with PNG or Animation codec is a good idea, but it will take a lot of space. If it's the latter, H264 is perfect but there's no built-in preset to take 720 material to the web.
You could do this:
* Pick the generic H264 template. You'll see that it will give an error if you attempt to render, because the default setting uses an H264 profile/level which doesn't let you use HD resolutions.
* In the H264 video options, set the "Profile" menu to "Main" and "Level" to 4.0. That will keep it compatible to Quicktime and Flash player, while allowing larger frame sizes and higher bit rates.
* Set Target Bitrate to 5-8 Mbps and Maximum Bitrate to 9-10 Mbps if you're targetting web delivery. That's a bit over what Apple uses for 720p content on the Apple TV, for example.
The H264 original preset will instruct you in the comment field to stretch to 640x480 in Output Module. There's no need, since you are using a profile/level combination which allows higher frame sizes.

How can i render a dynamic html file in jsp page

Hi everybody,
i am trying to render a dynamic html file in jsp page with the result of querying a database.

                    currentState = "normal";
                    webView.stage = stage;
                    webView.viewPort = new Rectangle( 10, 130, (stage.stageWidth)-20, 750 );
                    var fPath:String = new File(new File("app:/assets/html/aboutus/"+ appFile).nativePath).url;
                    webView.loadURL(fPath);
                    addEventListener(ViewNavigatorEvent.REMOVING,onRemove);
                else {
                    currentState = "unsupported";
                    lblSupport.text = "StageWebView feature not supported";
above code is working fine for me.

Yes you can do it but not on facet you can apply rendered attribute to the any of the child component of the facet.

Hi, I can't figure out why I can't render on my timeline. I highlight the segment hit "Apple-R" and it gives me a weird message about "conforming HDV video...." and the bar goes as far as 60-66% and holds there forever. It never renders even partially.

Yes, I know. I have been working with HDV for some time. I am wondering why it doesn't render when it needs to.. the red and bright-green lines are above, and I've set the render settings such that ANYTHING I highlight and hit apple-R will render. But its not rendering at all.

Can't render Themes in iMovier 6.0.3

I'm having problems with rendering Themes in iMovie 6.0.3.
I can create the Theme fine. But after I hit "Apply", the theme clip sits in the Clip viewer - complete with its little red "I'm rendering" line - for hours (and hours), apparently doing nothing.
I can't save the project without iMovie telling me there are still effects rendering, and that I need to discard the rendering to save the file. I can't render the Theme (because it appears to be in some kind of loop). I can't therefore edit m,y movier in the way I want - and my little daughter wanrts a DVD of her school play
After reading this forum, I removed Flip4Mac and also every other codec I could find on my iMac (I didn't have 3ivx but did have other DivX codecs). I've run plutil to try and find corrupted preference files. I've tried restarting. I've tried creating the Themes in different ways.
In short, everything I can think of, and the fecker still won't work!
Anyone got any bright ideas? iMovie is a flagship (and workhorse) Mac app surely - how on earth can it be barfing at doing something so straightforward?

Stuart, we've seen a number of reports here recently of problems with Ken Burns and Themes rendering after Migration Assistant is used on a new Mac to move files from an old Mac to a new one. Did you do that?

Alpha layer on V2 creates banding in the still image of V1

I have about seventy-five shots with a still image background and an animated object above it (on video track 2). The alpha type is set correctly (black), but for some reason the background has color banding on any spot where the V2 alpha layer exists. It's critical that we correct this distortion, so if anyone has any ideas they'd be much appreciated!
The animated layer is a combination of a Photoshop PNG and a shape created in Motion. The animation was all done in Motion as well. Unfortunately, using the still image is a background in Motion to begin with is NOT an option, but to explain why would take another four or five paragraphs (this is a complicated and long-running project!).
Thanks in advance!

Thanks for the help. I will try rendering it in 10-bit.
About rendering it in Motion. . . well, that actually does not create the banding, but due to what some experts suspect is deep-seated problem with our OS X or Final Cut Studio installation, it does other things with the image which are unacceptable for our output.
Scratch that! Thanks so much! Rendering in high-precision YUV fixed our problem! (With the color banding, I mean.) We've got a nearly seven hour DVD set going out nationwide soon and you just made this one of our briefest and easiest problems to overcome.
I thought I had tried every combination of rendering but with so many variables, I guess that one slipped through.

Can't Render Whole Project

Hey,
I am doing some work for people with my new program (FCE) and i got to about half way and decided to render by going: sequence, render all, both.
It appeared to be doing so but then after about 2% the 'rendering box' just dissappears. A while later i get an error message saying 'FXScript Outofbounds'
i have no idea what this means, so i tried rendering each bit individually, which appeared to work.
So i tried again to 'render all' and once again it wouldn't work.
So this time i tried: sequence, render only, and then chose all of the options there (unlimited, preview, proxy etc.) and they all worked except for preview.
Which did the same thing as when i try to render the whole project.
Help! its Urgent!

Having same issue here. Also getting crashes on "render". I am using a source DVCProHD clip and rendering the graded clip to the preset Apple Pro Res 444. You can see the flicker effect here horizontal lines:
Another issue, when I "save" the "look" it isn't saving what is on the screen. IOW, if I finish grading and save the project. Then save the look, the thumbnail is not even close to what is on the screen. If I "save" the look and immediately select that saved look it completley and randomly changes the grading, sometimes turning red, sometimes green. So these are not working for my in After Effects.
This is the "look" I get when I save the above grade"
