Mask Shape and Mask Feather Matte Bug in 5.1.1

Take a 2160x1620 picture. Add the mask shape filter. Use the square, but happens on any of the shapes. Center the mask over say the face of a person. Render, notice that the mask has shifted to the left 10 to 20 percent. (1/4 inch or so)
Add the mask feather, set the feather to any value so you see a nice feather. Render, notice that the feather is gone.
Anyone care to confirm this for me? I have reported this to Apple feedback. Worked in 5.04 just fine.
FYI - I use 2160x1620 so that when I enlarge the picture from 33% up to 100% (tripple the size for panning) i get really good quality.
Thanks,
Bob

Update - it is related to the 2160x1620. If I export a still, which ends up as 720x480, and reimport, then add the mask shape and mask feather, after render it looks like it should, no movement in the masks.
So I guess that is the workaround for now on the pictures I want to use the mask shape filter. Hopefully the developers will add this to their bug fixes.

  • Fcpx 10.2 export changed the shape and position of my shape masks. Ideas?

    Fcpx 10.2.  Upon export it changed the shape and position of my shape masks.   It also created "cordoroy" looking screens where some photos had been.  Looking for help.

    Hi Tom,
    Thanks for the response.  My project is 1280x720 29.97 fps.  Here's a shot of the corduroy.  The first time I exported using the "export" choice.  I rebooted and exported again choosing "master" file.  The settings were the same on both- 1280x720, 29.97, H.264.  The corduroy went away the second time.  The masks are still off.  I'm using them throughout my project.  They are closer to center on both of the quicktime movie outputs than on my screen in the project.  I could send pics.

  • Mask gradiant black and white no matter what color is chosen

    My mask gradiant is black and white not matter what color I choose. How do I fix that?

    You may wonder about that from now on until:
    1.  When someone expresses difficulty understanding you, describe just what you mean, using different terms.
    2.  Use whole paragraphs.  Maybe even more than one.  This isn't instant messaging.
    Your phrase "mask gradiant" (assuming one reads through the misspelling) could mean many things.  You haven't provided enough context to know what you really mean.
    If I put a gradient into a mask it may be because I want the image on a layer to fade away, revealing what's underneath.  The gradient can only be grayscale (black, gray, or white) - it cannot be colored.
    I can't imagine why you would want to color a mask.  It makes no sense.  What are you really trying to accomplish?  Did someone tell you that you could do this?
    Perhaps you're using the terms "mask" or "gradient" incorrectly, or for something that is really called something else.
    Help us help you out here.

  • Simple Mask Feather Problems - Help!

    I have placed a Mask Shape filter on a clip and then placed a Mask Feather filter underneath on the same clip, however the results of the feather do not show until rendered.
    I am sure I have been able to manipulate the feather filter before and seen the results immediately without rendering.
    In the 'View' menu I changed the channel to RGB+Alpha which displayed the results immediately, however it also placed a transparent red overlay over the entire clip. This disappeared during playback.
    How can I preview the clip with the feather but without this red overlay that has appeared form nowhere? What is this red overlay?
    Thanks in advance,
    Ollie

    Works fine on my system. Try shutting down (Shut Down, not Restart), then boot up again and try it from scratch.
    Does it works now?
    If not, try creating a new user account (allow it to admin the computer), log in to the new account and try it from there.
    Please report back.
    BTW, which specific version of Final Cut?

  • After Effects .png sequence mask feather

    Forgive me if this question is in the wrong place, I am new to this forum.
    I have a .png sequence in AE (animation comprised of png files as frames). I use this format since the built in alpha channel/mask/transparency allows me to create composite images with blurred background/foregrounds (mimicking depth of field).
    Basically the edges are too 'crisp' and I would like to feather them. I am used to working with masks but I havn't used the .png format for animation until now.
    If I were in Photoshop I would simply select the layers pixels, create mask, feather the edge and voila. But I can't seem to access this png mask in after effects. Any help greatly appreciated. Thanks!

    Thanks for the quick reply. I seem to remember that about png's from a first year class
    Well my footage comes from a cg application and there are too many frames to manage in photoshop (unless there is a macro or batch script).
    So there is no way to feather the transparency in AE (or premiere pro)?
    As a last resort I suppose I can render an alpha channel as a separate sequence an use that.

  • Was the max buffer of 30.000px or mask feather of 1000px upped in CC?

    Hi,
    I work a lot for companies doing big media installations (auto motor shows for example) where we have huge resolutions, which often exceed the maximum comp size of 30.000px in width.
    Is this limitation still there in CC? And if so, why can't it be set higher? With LED technology getting better the resolutions are skyrocketing (I already worked on 3mm pixel pitch LED panels)
    Also something that goes in conjunction with this: Mask Feather size,  which is limited to 1000px in AE CS6 and lower.
    Any change there in CC?
    If this limitations would be removed, it would be a good argument for CC.
    Thanks in advance
    Dino

    That's sad to hear.
    The company I'm working for is specialised to work with such high resolutions, as I am for about 5 years.
    We had a resolution of about 28.218px * 15.600px for the Volkswagen Beijing Auto Motor Show in 2008.
    I also had a 48.000*720 project 2 years ago and now we have one with about 57.000px*224px
    When we have resolutions higher than 30k in width we split them up, but sometimes we would rather like to have them in one comp. The machines could handle it (albeit very slow at full resolution) but the 30k limit makes our work very problematic sometimes.
    Since we are workin in 16bit/32float a banding problem is not ocurring when you know how to handle it.
    A mask feather on an adjustment layer that is controlling for example exposure on 3D renderings can go higher than 1000px to look good, but here again, we have to make workarounds to achieve certain looks because we are limited by AE here.
    Oh and we are working in 50p, not 24p, but the final renderings are getting splitted for the final output in the end.
    The 1000px feather and 30.000 buffer limits are artificially set and I wonder why there is no (hidden) option to change it.

  • After Effects CS6 (11.0.2.12 Win) - Mask Feather Tool Freeze

    Whenever I use my Mask Feather Tool AfterFX.exe will freeze. Sometimes manipulating the feather works like thirty seconds before freeze, other times the application will freeze almost instantly. The feature is at this point practically useless.
    I'm running a BOXX-W8920 workstation.
    Windows7 Professional x64 - SP1
    64gb RAM
    Nvidia Quadro 4000 (driver version 306.94 (yes the driver is outdated))
    I can't tell what causes this freeze to happen, besides it has something to do with the Mask Feather Tool.
    This behaviour does not occur on other workstations, but they all run After Effects on Mac so no comparison can be made there really...
    I'll update the GPU driver, but beyond that I would be happy if anyone can help me resolve this one.
    Thanks.
    Edit: Latest GPU drivers didn't help a bit.

    I too suffered from this error after I upgraded my workstation to HP820z/nvidia gtx690 (driver 311.06)/win7 64. I should note my previous setup did not have this problem (dual xeon/nvidia quadro 1700.) Mask feathering was either excruciatingly slow or would outright crash the software under CS6. I believe (unfortunately for you) that the 11.0.2 update fixed it (it's still slow, though). Once I upgraded to CC, however, the problem seems to have gone away...although pushing feathered mask points seems still slower than it should be.
    Not much of a help, I know - but letting you know you're not alone

  • Create shape and motion tween of a line

    I am trying to create a line graph in which the line is
    following a certain path over time like in a simulation. The line
    starts with a point in frame 1 and ends with a smooth not straight
    line in e.g. frame 50. The line has to "run" like in an
    electrocardiogram.
    Is it possible to create this in flash?
    If so, how? I tried to combine shape and motion tweening, but
    that didn't work.
    Thanks for your help

    This is doable
    If it is a fixed set of lines you would create the lines in a
    MovieClip symbol and then slide the MovieClip symbol under a mask
    by changing the _x property with either onEnterFrame or
    setInterval.
    If you have to draw the lines from dynamic data at run time,
    you use the
    MovieClip.lineStyle
    and the
    MovieClip.lineTo
    properties on a MovieClip that you then would scroll under a mask
    if you are looking for the electrocardiogram rolling paper effect.

    I recently bought an Ipod touch 2nd gen, (Ebay). It's in great shape and seemed to be wiped clean.
    When I connect (via windows computer) to Itunes with usb cord the Ipod icon shows, but the only function you can do is eject. When its in the upper right hand corner and you click on it all you get is a done button, when it's in the side bar right click and your only option is eject, left click has no effect. If I go to "file">devices it's as if there are no devices connected.
    I purchased a song with Itunes on the Ipod itself, and it transferred to my library on the computer automatically .
    I have an Iphone 5 and a nano that are still functioning with Itunes thru computer so I'm thinking the issue is with the Ipod touch. I've reset it several times, rebooted it, with no change.
    nothing on the internet has helped, I called tech support and got disconnected. Should I take it to a retail store? I just don't know where to go next, I'm of course willing to pay for tech or repair. looking for suggestions.

    Try:
    - iOS: Not responding or does not turn on
    - Also try DFU mode after try recovery mode
    How to put iPod touch / iPhone into DFU mode « Karthik's scribblings
    - If not successful and you can't fully turn the iOS device fully off, let the battery fully drain. After charging for an least an hour try the above again.
    - Try on another computer          
    - If still not successful that usually indicates a hardware problem and an appointment at the Genius Bar of an Apple store is in order.

  • I have drawn some maps in pages using shapes and arrows. When I delete a shape a little grey dot appears that cannot be deleted. Any ideas?

    I am using shapes and arrows to create concept maps in Pages. After saving the document I have opened it again and tried to make changes.
    When I delete an arrow or shape a grey "Do not" sign pops up. It cannot be highlighted or deleted. My map now looks like it has grey measles.
    Any idea what is happening?

  • Navigation hidden by shapes and slideshow.

    I created a horizontal navigation bar and pinned it on the master page.
    The site I am creating is one-page and scrollable. As I scroll down, the nav bar remains stationary. The problem I am having, however, is that as I scroll down it disappears behind shapes and a slideshow.
    How can I overcome this?
    note: Some of the pages have different solid backgrounds. For that, I have tried two approaches. One is to use the basic widget and drop a fill into the single image. The other is to create a rectangle with a solid fill. In either case, they are "moved to the back." Anyway, it is not working.

    Hi there..
    The best and simple solution for your problem is to create a new layer for your navigation bar,
    make sure to place it on the top of all layers and select all the elements of navigation bar, pin them to the center of your page.
