Masking issues!  URGENT!!

I am trying to use a mask (black and white) to show one picture being revealed behind another picture as the top picture is torn. I have placed the mask on top of both pictures and the top pictures works in that it is viewable and then tears away correctly. However, all that is revealed is black behind it, not the other picture. I have tried to invert the mask, change the channel, but all I am getting is black. The bottom image isn't revealed. I am using the image mask and matte choker to do this.
I am working on a deadline today, so any help is greatly appreciated!
Thanks!

The background to be revealed goes on V1.
The matte goes on V2.
The foreground to be removed goes on V3.
Click the clip on V3 and go to Modify > Composite Mode > Travel Matte Luma.

  • Strange masking issue in Flash CC - Help, urgent

    I am working on a freelance job for a client that is due in the morning.  I've wasted several hours trying to figure out what is going on.  Here is my predicament:
    I have a layer with four masks, as follows -
    Text
    -- Clip 1
    -- Clip 2
    -- Clip 3
    -- Clip 4
    In the document, the clipping works perfectly fine up until frame 153.  I did the exact same thing as I did with the previous animation, just with different shapes and timing - and it somehow does not work.  It also does not work with the clipping done at frame 235.
    Now here is the amazing part: once I publish the flash, NONE of the masking works, and instead solid blue boxes show up that DON'T EVEN EXIST in my .fla document!  They appear to be the bounding boxes of my movie clips, which makes NO SENSE at all.
    I've tried everything I could think.  The worst part is that I have been using Flash CS2, CS3, and CS4 for several years and have never run into any issues using masking.
    Please help me if you can, this is very urgent and I may lose the entire project if I can't solve this problem.  I'll be checking back frequently....

    Hi Jostrom,
    Thanks for reporting this. We were able to narrow down this issue and has already been logged internally under bug #3585950.
    We shall update once this is investigated and gets fixed.

  • SQL Query Group By Issues - Urgent

    I currently have an issue writing a pl\sql report, I can get part of the way to the results I want but the group by clause is causing problems, because I have to add more columns to the group by, dispersing the figures further, I have tried it with coalesce for each of the task types but I still get the same results, I am getting close to the results I need but not quite there yet. I would really appreciate it if someone could take at look at this for me as it is an urgent requirement.
    The report is based on the tables similar to the following:
    TASKS, ORGANISATIONS, POSITIONS
    A position is a member of an organisation.
    A task has a position assigned to it.
    The SQL for the tables and to insert the data that would produce the report is detailed below:

  • External Phone Number Mask issue in CUCM 8.6

    I'm having an issue with External Phone Number Masks in CUCM 8.6
    Until recently our DID ranges were all in the 301-713-nnnn range.  Using the EPNM worked successfully providing CallerID.    We have now added some DIDs with the prefix 301-427.
    I have set the Route List Detail Configuration to:
    Use Calling Party's External Phone Number Mask*  Off
    Calling Party Transform Mask   3014279999
    However, when I run debug isdn q931 on the gateway the Calling Party Number = '3017139999'.
    It appears that the mask 3014279999 is being changed to 3017139999 by Call Manager,  but I do not know where this is happening.   
    I do not have any translation  or transformations set.

    Here is my understanding of the Caller ID.  You can set or change the ID in 4 places:
    1.  The DN - set the External Phone Number Mask on the DN on the phone device e.g. if the DN is 1234 and the EPNM is 301713XXXX , the caller ID becomes 3017131234
    2. The Route Pattern - you can check the box to use the EPNM set in 1 or leave unchecked and set a mask here in the same way as 1.   A mask set here will overwrite the mask in 1. In my case I want to use the EPNM and I have the option unchecked and no transformation
    3. The Route List (Route List Detail) - you can set Use Calling Party's EPNM to ON or OFF or Default.  ON means use the DNs EPNM.  If set to OFF you can set a mask here and this will overwrite the mask in 1. and 2.   I my case I have this set ON to use the DNs EPNM
    4. On the Gateway - on the endpoints you can set Caller ID DN in Call Routing Outbound Calls.  This setting overwrites the masks from 1., 2. and 3.   You need to reset the gateway (not just the endpoints) for changes to take effect.   In my case this is blank.  It did have a value of 301713XXXX.  When I removed this I failed to reset the gateway to the setting was still active causing my issue

  • Illustrator - Pattern Swatch / Clipping mask issue

    I'm currently working in Illustrator CS6. I'm creating pattern swatches and have successfully created 20 - but 4 are giving me the following issue.
    When I drag the perfect swatch tile into swatches it appears as so instead of the perfect tile:
    "New pattern swatch 3" has a white space on the right. Which sometimes when I create the swatch takes up half of the 'swatch.'
    When I go to create a shape and apply the pattern, I am left with an empty box.
    When I double click to adjust the pattern I get this dialog box:
    When I go to adjust the bounding box, to see where my pattern is - this crazy mess happens:
    Further investigation and deleting items to see whats happening:
    Bits of my pattern appear, but not sure why the other bars are there.
    I'm having this issue with four very different patterns. But I have also succesfully created more complicated ones. Not sure why this is happening.
    Any help is greatly appreciated!

    Hey everyone,
    I am in the same version, same file. I have also tried starting from scratch in another file just to make sure. Same issue.
    I have templates of what i want my patterns to be, so I have tried to make the patterns both ways. Starting from my original art - expanding all shapes and making them so they will tile perfectly.
    1. with clipping mask. 2. released mask, and expanded shape. 3. perfect tile.
    from scratch, made to tile perfectly.
    Same issue for both:
    To make sure it wasn't only this one I tried a different pattern that was giving me the same error before hand.
    I tried with original art which didn't work, so I quickly recreated with squares. Same tile, one time it was empty producing same issue as above. And second time it did this:
    1. What tile is supposed to look like       2. Tile applied to shape - but the pattern swatch icon is empty?
    Maybe this is a program bug?

  • 0P_FYEAR issue - Urgent -  Please help

    Hi,
    We are developing six new BCS queries. We have already have about 30 reports.
    1. We are using the Fiscal Year variable (0FISCYEAR)  -  0P_FYEAR in most of the queries. In the new reports, particularly in one query, the previous year is not working with -1 offset value. but, the same variable is working in other new reports for previous year. Please help how to rectify the issue.
    2.  I have started trying many options in QA environment and found that there was a option to choose CONSTANT SELECTION in the 0FISCYEAR. So, I tried to select the Constant selection and found that the PREVIOUS YEAR IS WORKING for the query, for which earlier it was not working. Now, my another issue is that previous year is not working for all other queries which we have used the 0P_FYEAR as variable.
    Since I have tried this in QA, all the reports in QA are not working for previuos year. Please advise urgently to correct the same.
    Thanks & Regards,

    Hi ,
    Have you used Fiscal Yaer variant in your query?
    When you use these variables you should restrict querieswith correct fiscal yaer Variant.

  • Clipping Mask issues

    I'm trying to create a clipping mask with a few things i made in autocad and brought into illustrator (copy/pasted or done as an eps, same results).
    the bottom layer is a pattern i created, again, in autocad and live paint bucketed to give it color.
    the top layer is a shape i created in autocad. and my shape, it's really just a bunch of lines.
    ctrl+7, and it all just disappears. i know it's not the bottom layer, i've already clip masked with that pattern with numbers.
    the only thing i can think of is that illustrator isn't as precise as autocad and the place where two lines come together to make a point, well they actually don't in illustrator.
    any tips/tricks i should know to solve my issue? i can send the .ai file to whoever if they think they have the magic touch.

    Adam,
    Who can clip with a bunch of lines, even after grouping them?
    What happens if you join the lines into a closed shape and Ctrl+7?

  • FCS2  "Something Happened" message at load, other upgrade issues URGENT

    Final cut studio has been giving me a "Something Happened" message every time I load it since after I upgraded it. What is this?? It seemed at the time that the upgrade to FCP Studio 2 installation went well...no weird messages or anything.
    I did the upgrade at the end of last year and Ive been using the software OK with three exceptions:
    1.- The FCP "Something Happened" message always appears when the OS loads...
    2.- The new COMPRESSOR wont load at all....ever! (I installed ALL upgrades frpom the web and ALSO downloaded the compressor upgrade (from Nov 07) and installed it "by hand", but to no avail.
    4.- FCP cannot render exotic effects (For example the ones that work in Motion)Final Cut pro asks me to upgrade my graphics card from the old 60 mb NVIDIA GEFORCE that came with the first system to a larger one.
    I just bought it through the net and it should be here in a couple of weeks. (I am in Nicaragua, Central America).
    I dont know what to do about the compressor (I need it urgently but dont know how to uninstall and reinstall ONLY compressor).
    My machine specs are
    Model POWER MAC 7.2
    CPU Power PC 970 (2.2)
    2 CPU Units
    Level 2 cache 512 KB
    Memory 4 GB
    Bus speed 1 GHZ
    Start ROM version 5.1.5 F0
    Serial G8429CVLPXD

    Dear Jerry
    Im very afraid of doing a full reinstall for a couple of reasons:
    1.-We dont have a reliable and FCP-savy MAC techie in Nicaragua.
    2.-I am not 100% sure I have ALL of the disks for all of the previous versions of the software
    3.- There are a lot of other things on that drive that I am afraid of losing.
    Do you have any other ideas??
    Do you think issues will be resolved when the new video card comes??
    Is there any way of installing (In the meantime) only the previous version of COMPRESSOR??
    Thanks for any help-
    Carlos

  • Installation issues - Urgent

    hi ,
    I have the following setup.
    * I have a network shared drive on which i installed Oracle 9.0.1.1 Enterprise DB. The shared drive is on a different machine, but same NT network domain. The installation went smooth without any issues. But, when i tried starting the listener i'm getting the following error.
    * The machine on which the shared folder is, has Linux installed on it.
    Failed to start service, error 65.
    TNS-12560: TNS:protocol adapter error
    TNS-00530: Protocol adapter error
    32-bit Windows Error: 65: Unknown error
    Can some one help me on this ?
    This is a very urgent need.
    thanks in advance,
    Sriram

    If you are using windows 2000, then you may want to check the account which is being used to start the listener.
    You can do this from the services window...double-click the TNS service and check the Log On tab to see who it is starting the service as...you may need to specify using "This Account".
    Also, check the SQLNET.ORA file to see if there is a line that reads:
    sqlnet.authentication_services=(NTS)
    If so, try commenting it out.
    This solved my issue using Oracle 8.1.7.

  • [CS4] Clipping Mask issue (bug?) - Beachball when I try to select masked group

    I have a somewhat complex compound path (1400 points) that I've duplicated several times and clipped. I want to make a second copy of this clipped set of objects. When I try to select the group that contains the clipping mask (with the selection tool or in the layers palette) illustrator chugs for over a minute. Once it's done chugging and I have my group selected I hit copy and paste. It chugs for another minute and then does nothing but deselect my group.
    I saved the file down into CS3 format and opened it in CS3. I have no trouble with copy, paste, select, scale, or anything when I'm in CS3 - no slowdown at all. I saved the file in CS3 and opened the CS3 format file in CS4 and I still have the beachball/chug problem.
    I'd like to note that the trouble begins only when I apply the clipping mask. I can select all those objects and copy/paste/rotate/scale/whatever until I apply a mask and then I can't do anything to them. The clipping mask itself is rather simple - only 26 points.
    I'm on a G5 with 8gigs of RAM and over 30gigs of available space in my scratch disc. Any advice or any other users who've had this problem?

    No that is not true and you know CS 3 does not come close to CS4 in performance and if I were you I would download the trial, although I have feeling you do not have the resources to to actually run the program and that has you quite miffed,
    Perhaps the next release will finally release you, so long!
    Tracy I found that there s a setting that is on by default in CS 4 that would make things go a bit slow and always has if selected by the user.
    Clearly a mistake I would think but for some reason the default settings for the raster effects is 300 ppi as opposed to 72 ppi which really many times will eat up the memory no matter how much you have, and Illustrator can only use a limited amount of RAM something like 2GB, so that the amount of RAM is not the issue and the scratch could be as wide open as possible but it still will choke.
    It may not have the resource to as in your case make a review. So I would try setting the document raster image effects setting to 72 ppi and then when outputting it change it to 300ppi or tell the printer to do so.
    Hans I am sure you will now be relieved to find out that CS4 is behaving as it should with the right setting.
    Enjoy the trial it is free. You are going to love CS 4.
    I am mistaken Tracy and Hans CS 3 also has the default setting at 300 ppi I should have checked first.
    Yes Hans this might be an issue that is a strike against CS4 on large complex projects
    I am certain it was good idea to change the clipping path behavior. The question is how big or complex does the file have to be before this happens.
    Hans you should still try the trial and see for yourself. Of course if you don't have the resources it might be difficult to load the trial.
    I would still try changing the setting to 722 ppi and changing it for output after the work has been completed.
    Yes I think you found and important bug.

  • Layer Mask issues cc 2014

    So recently I installed CC 2014 and just two days ago the layer mask stopped allowing me to draw into the mask. I can lasso in the mask. I can switch to white and edit the mask with the brush. I can use erase and edit the mask. But I can't draw into the mask. This is HUGE problem in my workflow. Any suggestions to trouble shoot this would be great! Has anyone else encountered this? Is there an update that addresses this bug? Thanks!

    It was set to normal. I read a response to a similar problem and a user had it set to dissolve. So I checked it just in case. It wasn't. Then I started having the same issue on a regular layer...So I grabbed my backup Cintiq pen to see if it was a Cintiq issue ( I have an older 21). It happened with that pen, as well. Then I opened the file in CS4 and everything is working fine....it limits me to the brushes I created in CS4 though. The long term issue of CC2014 will have to be resolved, because this seems like a bug. It's been working fine for a week and half until yesterday...

  • CS6 actions batch saving images to a clipping mask issue

    Hey all,
    Been at this for quite some while now and searched the www thin for suggestion - so really hope someone can help me out here.
    Objective:
    - Target a folder with xxx .gif patterns (in the same size)
    - Setup actions to batch open each image from the folder, copy the pattern image individually over to a .PSD file that have a silhouette of the sleeve.
    - Apply the individual pattern to the clipping mask
    - Save it out as .png
    Issue:
    So far ive only had the automate > batch process to save out one .png with the pattern correctly applied to the silhouette.
    What I experince is that, if I close down everything and initiate automate > batch process then Photoshop will complain about not being able to locate the clipping mask.
    In my action setup I first open my .psd containing my sleeve shape, then open an actual pattern image and then all other steps ending up with saving the .psd with pattern clipping mask to .png.
    Just to give a simple idea about my setup take a look here:

    In this one below, ive closed everything and run the automate > batch process, which gives me the error you can see here:
    http://i.imgur.com/7Cvj26D.png
    Any suggestions on what I could be doing wrong OR if I am doing anything wrong?

    Hi Mack,
    Thanks a lot for your throughout response - really appreciate it!
    I do acknowledge that im new to batch in Photoshop and could possibly why this is not working for me - although in not quite sure why and what I would need to make as a programmed script - would you by any chance try to give me an idea on what specific step needs to be programmed?
    My actions are very few and quite simple, and seemed to fit in very nicely in how ive understood the actions feature would work - in any case of not being precise enough here's my exact steps.
    1. I open up Photoshop - No documents or anything are open at current point. I click "Record" in actions
    2. I open my sleeve_layer.PSD  file (which opens up in a tab) -> File -> Open -> PSD
    3. I open one of the pattern .gif files (which opens up in a tab) - which are all located in the same folder with the same size -> File -> Open -> .gif
    4. In my pattern tab window (from nr 3) I select all (ctrl-a) -> copy (ctrl-c)
    5. I then click over to my sleeve_layer.PSD window tab and paste (ctrl-v) my copied pattern image into a layer above my sleeve layer.
    6. I then right-click with my mouse on the pattern.gif layer -> click "Create clipping mask" (the pattern is now only shown within the sleeve layer shape)
    7. I save the work done in the .psd to web -> File -> Save for web -> .png
    8. I then close my sleeve_layer.PSD - without saving it (since I dont want to have clipping masks for each pattern stacking up from the batch)
    9. Recording ends
    If I now run the batch all actions are done fine until it reaches the action with the clipping mask - where I get "The command "Create clipping mask" is not currently available" - I can see that when this error appears, im not seeing any open sleeve_layer.PSD tab - so not sure if the psd file is actually getting opened (and this might be the error for the reference error of the clipping mask to appear).
    If I try to manually RUN the actions set in the actions panel, I notice though that the sleeve_layer.PSD tab is getting opened.
    When running automate -> batch -> I point "source" to my folder of all patterns (only .gif files appear in this folder)
    "Destination" folder is set to some other folder.

  • Pro Tools/Logic bouncing issue URGENT

    I have an urgent Logic/Pro Tools question. I've asked several people and searched online but I can't find the problem. For some reason, my bounced Logic files come out as 5 mono tracks in Pro Tools.. but they're bounced as interleaved in Logic. I'm not sure what the issue is.. I have a deadline for this track (Jan 5th) help is  REALLY appreciated. Thanks in advance

    Quality shouldn't differ between interleaved and separate right/left mono files.
    If you want Logic to work like Protools and be more compatible with PT, go into Preferences/Audio and uncheck "Universal Track Mode". Now Logic will use separate files for left/right.
    Most DAWs can import interleaved files because they also use them as the main recording option, ProTools has always stuch with single right/left files.
