Layer blend mode doesn't show in export

Hi,
I am trying to export a composition from After Effects CC, I am using a Multiply blending mode in most of my layers to give it a better look.
When previewing in after effects it looks as I want it too look but when I add to AME and export it to youtube and vimeo the Multiply blending mode does not work and it shows the composition as if all the layers had NORMAL blending mode.
How can I fix this?
Thanks a lot!

Render a normal Image sequence or Quicktime clip directly from AE and convert it in AME, which would be smarter, anyway.

Layer Blend mode won't show in Export?

Hi there,
I'm trying to export a composition and one of the layers has the "Multiply" blend mode applied. It looks great in the composition, but when I export it and bring it into Premiere, the layer seems to revert to a "Normal" blend mode (Its a gray bar, so It looks drastically different when the multiply blend is active).
I am using RGB+ Alpha, Apple Prores 4444. Is there a setting I can change or some way to fix this? Thanks.

Are you rendering the entire shot including the layer below your gray bar? You may be having gamma issues with Prores. You haven't given enough details to know exactly what's going on, but my first guess is a gamma issue. Try exporting an image sequence or just render animation uncompressed or uncompressed with Alpha if you need the alpha channel in Premiere.
If you are expecting the multiply blend mode in the gray bar to multiply with a layer below your rendered footage in a Premier sequence, that's not going to happen.

ITunes' Taskbar-playing mode doesn't show itself if ObjectBar Installed

iTunes' Taskbar-playing mode doesn't show itself if ObjectBar Installed and disabled. Stardock said that iTunes doesn't recognize Objectbar when I tell the Stardock support. The iTunes menu bar in ObjectBar won't appear unless you are using it with iTunes Multi-pluggin. Even with this pluggin. iTunes doesn't shrink into the taskbar as taskbar-playing mode. Stardock said that this feature won't be available unless Apple can recognize ObjectBar as a valid taskbar replacement.

This is the message that I composed to Stardock Support about iTunes' compatibility on ObjectBar:
Why ObjectBar disables iTunes taskbar-playing mode? when i install ObjectBar and I have already installed iTunes on my Windows XP PC with taskbar-playing mode enabled, I can't shrink the iTunes window into the taskbar-playing mode.
And Stardock Support Replied at me:
Hello Harry,
ObjectBar doesn't disable this feature specifically. ObjectBar hides the Taskbar to reduce redundancy, but iTunes had likely been written to hardcode the taskbar-playing mode into the Windows taskbar and doesn't recognize ObjectBar.
Unfortunately this feature will not be available unless Apple can recognize ObjectBar as a valid taskbar replacement.
But I'm already tell these problems to Apple.

History Panel Option to ignore Layer Blend Mode Changes

Using shift+plus and minus keys to see various layer blend modes eats up my History. Not quite sure why it even records... you can't use the History Brush to "blend" previous blend modes. And it is not difficult to go back to a previous blend mode. I'd like to see a History Option to ignore Layer Blend Mode Changes, like you have for Layer Visibility Changes.

OK. Changes in the Blending Dialog don't record in History until committed.Thanks!
But I don't see a way to quickly go through the various Blend Modes like you can with Shift+ plus/minus keys. I really like that keyboard method to rapidly view and compare various Blend Modes.

Custom-portlet-mode doesn't show

All,
I created a sample JSR 286 portlet and selected to show about mode (keeping view and edit) default. wizard creates a default about.jsp. However when i added another tag for preview, link to pick preview mode doesn't show in the top right corner (view actions menu) of portlet. Any idea what i am doing wrong.
Thanks,

I can't set a layer blend mode to "Screen"

Hello, I'm new to Photoshop as of an hour ago (I've been using GIMP for 2 years).
I have a layer selected and I want to set the blend mode to "screen". However, the screen mode as well as several others are greyed out and won't let me select them. I'm using Windows 8 Home Premium 64 bit, and Photoshop CS6 Extended (Trial) 64 bit. I'm intending to get Adobe Creative Cloud tomorrow, but is the reason for this that I'm using the trial version? If not, what am I doing wrong? There is a screenshot below to show what I am talking about. Any help would be appreciated. Thank you!

Took me a few second to figure out whats wrong. But the answer is, you're in the 32 bit mode. Changing the mode to 16 or 8 { (Image>Mode>8Bits/Channel) or (Image>Mode>16Bits/Channel) } will make it available.

Masking "disables" layer blending modes!

Hi there,
i have a comp with a bunch of layers and one of them has multiply as blending mode! (ambient occlusion layer)
so far everything went fine but as soon as i want to mask a certain part of the comp the blending mode get´s "disabled"...
Doesn´t matter what type of mask i use it´s always the same issue... it´s rly anoying =/

In my opinion theres rly nothing fancy about! Just a few passes rendered out in cinema 4D!
And as said everything works fine as long as i don´t mask the composition

Has anyone ever encountered layer blend modes behaving strangely?

I use photoshop quite a bit for retouching and photo compositing. Tonight I encountered a strange problem. I was trying to create a vintage look on a photo and had a number of adjustment layers including a curves, levels, color fill and there were also a few texture/noise layers all set to varying opacities. Near the top of all this I had a vignette layer that was black around the edges and white in the center set to blend mode of multiply. Well, when I was clicking on and off I realize that that vignette layer was definitely lightening the center part of the overall image quite a bit (the part that is white on the vignette layer), almost like a screen. So I flipped the vignette layer through different opacity modes and saw that there was no change in its behavior, every mode was screening the white, even darker color and multiply. I thought maybe it was interacting in a weird way with one of the other layers so I turned all the others off except the back ground-- still no change. Then I dropped the layer down one at time until it was below the background. When I started to move it up again, it was behaving normally for a moment until I moved it up a couple levels in the stacking order and then it went back to the screen behavior. Anyway I shuffled it around a bit but there was no consitency to when it would display the correct opacity and when it wouldn't, so it did not seem to be an interaction with any specific layer. I don't know, but I can't really think of any case where white set to multiply should produce a lighter result even if it were interacting with another opacity. In any case it does seem to me that there is something going on with the overall computation of opacities. I tried creating a new black and white layer and it was also doing the same thing, behaving strange and not displaying the correct opacity.
I'm tired, so I'm going to bed. I'm going to shut off the computer and hope this goes away when I reboot, but if it does not, does this sound familiar to anyone? I'm not a regular visitor to this forum, but I thought I'd put it out there in case anyone else has experienced anything like this. I've only got 5 gigs of ram on this computer and I've been working away for a while... maybe photoshop just couldn't keep up(?) I'm using Photoshop CS5, RGB Adobe 1998 colorspace. I've never had anything like this happen in the last 11 years I've been using photoshop. Hmmm.... hope I don't have to reinstall or call support or worse. fingers crossed.

Nevermind. It is still having the problem. I have to think that this file is just corrupt somehow because I just opened another file and can't seem to cause the same problem. Basically, I can fill a layer with white, put it to a blend mode of multiply or darker color and it will block out everything of the image below, ie totally opaque. The opaqueness varies depending on the if there are other layers also on blend modes, but it does not seem to correspond to normal blend mode interaction. If I put it right on top of a regular layer with an image on it, it totally blocks it out on a blend mode of multiply... weird. I am going to scrap this file and see if the problem recurs in other files. My 2006 Mac Pro is getting some years on it and has been running pretty slow. I'm not a hardware expert but I've done everything I know how to do to maintain it. Was thinking of upping the ram to see if I can hold out a bit longer before I upgrade the computer. Wouldn't surprise me if this problem is related to the computer.

ONLY screen blending mode doesn't work...?

I have Windows 8, and Photoshop CS6. All of my blending modes work, except for Screen. I don't know why it doesn't, but I do use it somewhat frequently, and it's really holding me back at this point.
Is this related to all the other problems people have been having with Photoshop running on Windows 8? Or is this an issue that I'm going to have to fix myself, somehow?
Thanks!

Do you see the problem if you disable the [ ] Use Graphics Processor setting entirely (remembering to restart Photoshop before testing)?
What video card (aka graphics adapter) do you have in your system?
What driver version are you running?
Have you looked for alternative versions e.g., on nVidia.com or AMD.com?

Why is a layer blending mode result altered by adding and effect?

I've done a search online and haven't come up with an answer but does anyone
know why a layers blending mode result is altered by adding an effect?
I am using CS3 on a PC (Windows XP SP2) and have two layers; one a Tiff and
a second a text layer with an ambient light and a spot shining on them. Both
layers have 3D turned on and accept lights and are in the same position in
space.
To make the text, which is coloured black, sit better I changed the layers
blend mode to soft light which works well.
I wanted to soften the edge of the text a little so I added a Fast Blur
effect and suddenly the result of the blend was completely different. If I
turn off the effect it goes back to what it was before but even if the Fast
Blur is set to zero, ie no blur on the layer, the blend result is altered.
Does anyone know what's going on?

Many thanks for that. I tried the Box Blur but it too shifted the result of the blend. In the end, to get this job out of the door, I changed the colour of the text to orange, lowered the opacity and used Multiply as the layer blend mode. Adding the Fast Blur effect to this didn't shift the result of the blend mode. It's not as sexy a look as using Soft Light but it works. I wonder if it's something going on with the maths or this a real bug? <[email protected]> wrote in message news:[email protected].. > Presumably a bug that uses the blur's convolution kernel when it > shoulddn't.

Fade out doesn't show when exported as a jepg sequence?

I'm exporting my video as a jpeg sequence because I can't get rid of the artifacts when exported as a .mov file no matter how much I mess with the settings. The Jpeg sequence works great the only problem is the fadeouts in the video don't show. Anyone know how to change that?
Or how to get the video to export as a .mov file without artifacts some other way besides changing the quicktime settings.

It still doesn't show. It's within the symbol, using the color effect alpha and doesn't show when playing through the timeline- only when testing the movie/scene or exported as a swf or mov file.

Clip blend mode doesn't apply to transitions?

I'm trying out the Final Cut X demo, wondering if I want to upgrade from Final Cut Pro 5, whch currently won't load on my computer anymore. Anyway, I've run into a problem that is really strange...if I want to fade in an overlay clip that has a different blend mode, like Color Burn, Linear Light, etc., the transition (I've tried Cross Dissolve and Circle) doesn't use the other blend mode. The transition will do "normal" blending only, and then the instant the transition is complete, the other blending mode kicks in. Then as soon as a transition begins at the end of the clip, the blend mode goes back to "Normal." I can't seem to find a way to apply the other blend mode to the transition. Adding effects and making other clip settings like cropping, etc. seem to work, but the transistion refuses to use my blending setting. Is there another trick I'm overlooking?
Thanks!
Shayne

More than that the blend mode applied to the connected clip, which usually effects and intercats with the clip below, now doesn't blend with it at all.
There is a weird workaround you can set up for this. Right-clcik and use open in timeline on the connected clip. Put the clip you want to blend with inside that clip's timeline. Stack them the way you want, and then step back into the project. the clip and the blended clip will be together and you can apply a transition at the beginning. This might work for what you want to do, but I can't be sure.

Blend Mode doesn't hold in Smart Object

Here's the scenario:
I'm building a web page, lot's of layers and groups. I want to clean things up by converting some groups into smart objects.
Here's the Problem:
Within some of the group folders are layers with a blend mode assigned, like Darken. When I convert the group to a Smart Object the blend mode on those layers doesn't hold.
Screen grabs:
Hopefully these will make it clear in cas I haven't explained it well.
Original with layers
Group converted to Smart Object
Bland mode applied to Smart Object
I figured out why it happens, I want to know if there's a way around it other then don't do it.
TIA,
Mike

Yep, another understandable feature by few who understand, but created by many users - toy feature for web and print. It can either mean money or murder when handed these files from your bone head customer who assumes anything that can be created shall work with the greatest of ease because marketing told you so.
Now that's progress intelligently planned.

Illustrator CC Layer Blending Modes not working

Did Adobe do something to Illustrator CC that the layers with the same object colors are no longer blending. No matter what blend mode I apply the object never blends with the object with the same color behind it
Any ideas?

Document settings? What colors? Screenshots?
