In which version of Illustrator "Fade to Black" feature was added?

In which version of Illustrator "Fade to Black" (see pic.) type of a gradient was added? I'm doing an education video and I want to include this info. Thanks.

CS4 was the first version of illustrator to offer gradients with transparency.

Which version doesn't produce this error: "there was an error opening this document. the file is damanged and could not be repaired"?

This error message occasionally occurs with Acrobat 5 on XP 2. However the same files can be opened with Acrobat 6.0.4 on Win98(se2).
"There was an error opening this document. the file is damanged and could not be repaired."
I'd like ot upgrade 5 on my XP system, but have read many posts complaining about the same error with newer versions.
Is there a version that never produces this error on files that aren't actually damaged? And has anyone figured out what produces this error? (The posts I've seen suggest solutions that don't seem to work.)
Thanks.
Ellen

Thanks, Prasanth.
I've read posts about this problem happening on all versions, and wanted to see if it was least likely to happen in one version.
I just need the basic function - the ability to read a pdf file.
Of course, it seems to be a problem only for some, and there's no way of knowing the extent, so I will try an upgrade or two.

Fade to black at the end

Hi all
I've started to use Motion 5 for a few weeks now but I'm kinda stuck on how to fade to black on a project. Ok it's a
Motion 5 project (built in the program) called "Atmospheric - lower third" in the "Composition" section and I want to do a
5 sec fade to black. I added about 5 sec to the 20 sec project making it 25 sec and I don't find a fading FX in the program.
There IS a fade in and fade out together but I just want a fad out and how can I make it work?? I know I still need allot of
practice with this program and I intend to get Lynda video tutorials soon but I need to to this now for next week and I have
no idea what to do to make a good fade out. If it can't be done with this program can I export it to final cut X and do a fade
there? Any help would be very welcomed!!!!
THANKS!!!
Serge

The easiest thing to do is add a Color Solid:
Press the Generators button at the bottom right of the canvas and select Generators > Color Solid. This gives you a specialized shape that automatically fills the canvas with color. Set the Color (in the inspector) to Black.
Select the Properties tab and in the Blending section, set the Opacity to 0%
Right click on the word "Opacity" and from the popup menu, select Parameter Behaviors > Ramp
In the Behaviors inspector > Ramp, set the Start Value to 0% and the End Value to 100%
Move the playhead in the mini Timeline to the place where you want the "fade out" to start.
The Motion 5 Help window tends to be a little slow - and too in the way for me, so I have an online copy bookmarked for viewing in my browser here:
http://help.apple.com/motion/mac/5.0/en/motion/usermanual/
unfortunately, this version is not searchable, so I also keep the Motion 4 user manual bookmarked here:
http://documentation.apple.com/en/motion/usermanual/index.html
This version IS searchable. Keep in mind that Motion 4 and Motion 5 do not "look" the same. However, everything in the Motion 4 documentation (other than placement of icons, etc.) is concurrent with how Motion 5 works (Motion 5 has some new concepts that won't exist in the M4 documentation like Rigs and specialized drop zones that represent media content *in* FCPX.)
If you're okay with dealing with the appearance differences between Motion 5 and earlier versions, here is a good source for basic "practice" exercises (skip the ones on "Round-Tripping" -- that no longer applies to M5/FCPX): https://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=PLB7982C0260F090C1
More here:
http://www.applemotion.net/macbreak-studio/
And some pretty advanced tutorials here:
https://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=PLeZvvhzFi_ZxWbzZ5bhJ45QWzPHQ3Y5qy
All together, probably a better education than you'd get from Lynda.com and they're all free.

Help with which version I need with PS CS4

Hello, I have PS CS4 Extended and have never used Illustrator before but am wanting to learn more about vector graphics. I am confused about which version of Illustrator to try? Is there a difference in which version of Illustrator since I have PS CS4 Extended? All I really want to do is be able to open and work with EPS and AI files so I dont need anything wild! Thanks, after looking for so long they all look alike! Amanda

Amanda,
Once Adobe releases a new version of a product, it ceases to sell the previous versions. So Illustrator 14 (which is the version included in CS4) is the only one available from Adobe.

RDF - Which version was it created in?

Is there any way of telling which version of report builder a particular RDF was created in?
I am using 6i Reports and when I open a particular module, I get the 'REP-20129' error (Warning: Opening a report saved with a newer version of Report Builder. Functionality may be lost. Continue?).
I can open the module in 9.0.4 and 10g but would like to know for sure which version was used.

I get the same error, though I don't remember "upgrading". How can we get the version that the RDF file was generated by?

Finding which version of OS X should I use for my old MacBook black

I have an old MacBook (black4,1) 2.4 GHz Inter Core 2 Duo; 4GB memory.
I had to format it, so it is currently running on OS X 10.5.8. I would like to upgrade the Operating system to the latest version that fits this specific machine.
At home a new iMac running on OS X 10.9.2, so I would like to at least be able to sync the basics over iCloud.
Any clues on which version of OS X could/should I use?
Thanks a lot.
Matias

It appears you can upgrade to Lion.

Check to make sure your applications are compatible. PowerPC applications are no longer supported after 10.6.

You will need to upgrade to Snow Leopard (10.6) to download Lion.

Trial version of Illustrator CC 2014 takes over my CS6 old version and forces me to use CC 2014 on launch. How to fix?

Trial version of Illustrator CC 2014 takes over my CS6 old version and forces me to use CC 2014 on launch. How to fix? FIle> get info>won't let me choose >Open this file with CS6. Forces me to use CC 2014 Illustrator which I don't want because I am doing client work in CS6 that I own and I do not have time to try out the CC version.
I also do not like the black interface in illustrator as I cannot even see the layer icon at the bottom. I won't want to buy it if this is all that's offered.

You can change the UI brightness in the prefs. Otherwise I'm not clear what your issue is. Handling file associations are operating system basics and you can look them up on a simple web search and from drag&drop onto the launchpad/ dock icon for CS6 to opening the files directly from within AI there sure are enough alternatives, don't you think?

Video camera screen fades to black or very dark wh...

on the Lumia 920, when recording video which is quite long; 30 minutes, the camera fades to black, as if you are recording in a darkened room.
This has happened now and then? I'm planning to record a soccer game lasting 30 minutes, so obviously, I'm a bit worried. It will fade. Rebooting the phone seems to solve it. I did notice the phone was a bit hot.
The camera itself seems to go blank or near dark. Even taking a photo, the camera is dark. Like I said, rebooting fixes it.

hi mate, have you checked that you are up to date with the latest firmware version? i remember that on early versions of WP8, it cut-out at about half an hour because the file system did not recognise that writing files of 4GB was allowed. this was fixed though.
also ensure that you are up to date with the latest Nokia system app updates from the Store.

I have files that may have been created in various versions of Illustrator. We need to be able to open them, but all we have is CS6 suite. I have called and been told that "technicians at adobe" could perform a paid service to find out what the files were

I have files that may have been created in various versions of Illustrator. We need to be able to open them, but all we have is CS6 suite. I have called and been told that "technicians at adobe" could perform a paid service to find out what the files were created in and get them to be useable in InDesign 6, but I'd need an email address that was registered to our software to give the help desk person. After finding the correct email address, different adobe help number people told me to come here to ask as there is no phone support. Can anyone get me to an adobe technician that can provide a price quote for finding out what created these files and for getting them converted? Thanks.

Sorry, I understood you to say you had the whole CS6 suite, which includes Illustrator.
As far as finding out what the files are, sometimes you can look at them in a text editor to figure this out. See below; the, Creator Tool line. Not every software package makes it this easy, though.

Is there a way to restrict handles when snapping like older versions of illustrator?

In previous versions of illustrator, when you snapped to grid the handles would snap as well. This made making complicated precise line work easier and faster. I noticed in the October update that the removal of this function is being touted as an upgrade/feature??
"When snapping is turned on, your anchor points and handles (direction lines) align to your choice of pixel, grid, or point. However, handles snapping to the grid restricts the freedom with which you draw. In the 2014 release of Illustrator CC, whatever you choose to snap to, handles are completely unrestricted. When handles are not subject to being snapped to a grid, you have much finer control over drawing and editing workflows."
...that handle restriction was actually very, very useful to me. Any way to get that back/toggle it on and off? Without having to downgrade to older versions of illustrator?
Thanks for any help you can provide!

The answer is not yet. Most people are hoping that the engineers will introduce a toggle to return the old behavior as an option but don't hold your breath. If you absolutely need it you will have to revert to an earlier version.

Why is it, if i have one video clip in the timeline, i can't just add a transition at the end of that solo clip to fade to black!?! please help!

hey there, so im making a video for a family event..
i drag in an audio clip all of a sudden this becomes the be all and end all, and i want to sync some vid clips to that audio track, so let's say i drag in a 10 second video clip, at the end of the 10 seconds, i want to add a transition to fade to black.. i go to the transition window.. choose the cross dissolve or fade to colour, but it will not allow me to drag it on that video clip.. it always ends up on the audio track. this bloody application is so confusing compared to final cut. please help!

Ahhh, now I see the problem, Grasshopper. Problem is, we are all Grasshoppers, here.
Yes, that little piece of info is critical. I'd say the biggest difficulty with FCPX is the whole new language.
If I read you correctly, your Audio is in the Main Storyline (Track 1 in plain old Editorese). This makes anything else you add (above or below) a "connected clip", which we can no longer think of as "Track 2" because Jobs sez so. So, yes, you cannot just add a transition to either end of a connected clip.
No argument with Tracy's solution, because I haven't seen any other general solution presented for any attempt to treat connected clips as the main storyline. And, of course, when they were "track 1" and "track 2", you could.
An alternative solution, however, is to highlight the connected clip and press Ctrl-V to bring up the Video Animation Editor. Click the "reveal button" for Compositing: Opacity (bottom, right). Once open, there is a "fade handle" to the right top. Drag it left for however much fade you wish. (there is one on the left as well, but you were only talking about a fade-out.)
A second alternative, perhaps for future projects where everything keys on audio, may be to create a Gap clip (used to be called slug) in the primary storyline before ever dropping in the audio. Then you can add video to the main story line and modify it without having to go thru hoops to do the simplest thing.

I just started using a new version of Illustrator and the text I am creating has a pink box behind, looks to be about the depth of the normal linespace, it is not visible in outline view, only in preview. What is it and how do I get rid of it?

Hi Larry. I see. It is a file I have worked on previously, and the font is Myriad which I though came with the system. I just changed to Myriad Pro and the pink box disappeared. Thanks for the assistance, I know a new thing!

Why can't I use the fade to black and white option in iMovie '11?

I have a project that uses a few photos with one minute duration timers I want to slowly fade from color to black and white but the fade to options are all greyed out... Am I over looking something or doing something wrong?

....it's the color in the pictures I want to gradually reduce the saturation on until they are black and white before the transitions start, not fade in or out to a black or white screen like you are suggesting.
Sorry, but I wasn't suggesting that you use Fade to Black or Fade to White, just explaining what they do, given that you used the term "fade" in your first post. I assumed you may have been using the Fade to Black transition (which won't achieve what you want).
I suggested that you use Cross Dissolve, but I need to explain further how to achieve the effect you are looking for. First, you need to place a copy of the photo directly after the original. Make sure Ken Burns is turned off - use Fit. Now double-click on the copy to bring up the Clip Inspector. Click on Effects and select Black & White, then click Done. Drag a Cross Dissolve transition between the 2 clips (photos) and adjust the duration to your liking in the Inspector. Now you will see the effect your are looking for.
The key is to have an exact copy of the photo following the original, then change the copy to Black and White (or Sepia or any other effect), then insert the Cross Dissolve (or Cross Blur etc.) transition.
Hope that''s what you are looking for!

Maintain PDF layering when opening in older version of Illustrator?

As the title explains, I was wondering if it may be possible to avoid data loss upon opening a PDF in an older version of Illustrator. I have a client who is still using CS5, and needs to have editable PDF files that maintain their hierarchy.
Currently standing, I get the "This file was generated by a newer version of Illustrator" error, which flattens the artwork into a single layer. Is there a workaround for this, or am I out of luck?
Thank you in advanced for your help.

Have you tried saving as CS5. There's a drop-down menu for choosing a version. It will still flatten some things that are not available in the older version, but you may have better luck keeping the layers intact that way.
