Missing effects with new webcam

i just got a new webcam for christmas. i plugged it in and it worked right off nice and clear. but in photo booth im missing more pages of effects. on my sisters macbook theres a page where you can change the background to a video like a greenscreen (i saw that in the leopard preview and in the wwdc video). but on my mac its not there. do i have to have an isight to get stuff like that. if so that would be very stupid since apple doesnt even sell them anymore.

According to this Support Document ( http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?artnum=306687 ), you will not have any Photobooth effects available without Intel Core Duo or later CPU, and to use the Backdrop effects, you need a Core 2 Duo. Your details shows you with a G5, not meeting these standards.
If you do have the appropriate Intel, your video camera has to be of a certain standard (known as UVC), or a Firewire video camera.
We too were sad when one of our computers fell below the threshold.
It is still so nice to have the ability to see one another and video chat- my 2 year old son loves to see his dad when I'm away.

  • How to use track effects with new version of GarageBand

    In the version of GarageBand before this one, you could access different effects that you could manage and apply to the different tracks.  Each track had an area containing its set of effects that were either activated or deactivated.  With this removed, i am not sure how to add those same kind of effects.  I am aware of the new nobs that are provided in order to mix and edit trebles, bass, mid, etc., but i want to be able to add different effects such as voice transformer, flanger, chorus, speech enhancer, bit crusher, bass amp, track echo, track reverb, amplifier, etc.  I desperately need help finding out how to do this, as this was a major part of my mixing and producing with GarageBand, and without these given effects, i do not feel as comfortable using GarageBand.

  • Missing tracks with new firmware 2.11

    I'm guessing that I can't be the only person on here who has had trouble managing the music on their Zen Touch after upgrading to 2..0, but I can't find any posts that mentions it. IMO the new firmware is terrible in the way it changes the way Mediasource shows the music on your player and even if you use Windows Media Player or the Windows Explorer type utitily the system of folders is rubbish as well.
    Has anyone had issues with whole albums missing or ID3 tracks not showing correct information since moving to the latest firmware? When i connect my player to my PC I have a few albums which show on my PC as being on the player but when I'm using the player regularly when I'm out and about the albums are missing.
    One other request. Can you guys tell me how you are transferring music to the player now? I would be interested to know if you do it through Mediasource or via copy and paste using explorer? If you do the latter where exactly do you put the music? Do you put it in the music folder under "media", and also do you put the artist folder in there or just dump the albums in there?

    I could not believe how much of a **bleep** up the team at Creative had made upon installing the firmware update. Im not at all happy with the fact that it is not reversable either... It really blows ey mate?

  • Locate missing folder with new hard drive

    What is the best way to tell Lightroom 1.4 where all your files are if all of them have been moved from an internal drive to an external drive?
    The condition I am concerned about is that after I have moved these files I do not see same ole folders in the Library module (aka folders of images in all the old folders on the hard drive)
    I have just moved my all photos from an internal to an external hard drive. I have gone through a few image by image and "locate(d) missing file". I would like to be able to do a master or one time "locate missing file" or really locate missing folder to locate everything all at once.
    Is it possible to "locate missing folder or file on a a big scale? The files are the same same names etc.

    yes that concerns me to. In the past when I have moved folders around "re-arranged" files or folders, I have successfully located the missing folder (file) on the hard drive thus directing Lightroom to this new location and all the sub folders do "fall into place" Since this has not been my experience with thisnew hard drive I am just wondering if ....well just wondering if I should back up Lightroom take off computer and re-load the software. I do not know the possible consequences of this action.
    I do not import the files into Lightroom.

  • Missing Mouse with new MP

    Has anyone else received there MP with a keyboard and no mouse?
    Not that I am a fan of the mini mouse but shouldn't it be in the top packaging or under the keyboard?
    Guess it's time to call apple care. Other wise the system is amazingly quite and fast!

    Yeah its in your software disk box lol<</div>
    Doug I didn't read your post until a week after getting a new one sent to me.
    You'd think apple service would've known and have me look there. Who reads the manual anyway? 2x LOL now I have two for one.

  • New Dial plan & Voice policies not taking effect with Polycom CX 600 Desktop Phone in production deployment, Worked fine in Testing

    Hi,
    We are in the process of Migrating Cisco CUCM & Voice Gateway (From another vendor to Cisco).
    The requirement is all internal calls between Cisco IP Phones & Lync to be flown through CUCM. Means internal extension to extension. Remaining all calls like Mobile, National, International, Toll Free, Emergency, Shared numbers calling to be routed
    to Cisco Voice Gateway.
    We created the test dial plan, Voice policies, Route and assigned it to couple of user from Lync (2 extensions) and from Cisco side we have taken 2 IP Phones which is pointed to new CUCM. We tested all below scenarios,everything was working fine.
    Lync to Lync Call using internal Extension number – Routed through Cisco new CUCM
    Lync to Cisco Call using internal Extension number – Routed through Cisco new CUCM
    Cisco to Lync Call using internal Extension number – Routed through Cisco new CUCM
    Lync to Hotline Numbers (66XX, 68XX Numbers) – Routed through Cisco Gateway
    Lync to Shared Numbers starting with 600 (Verified the number 600535353) - Routed through Cisco Gateway
    Lync to Emergency numbers & Toll Free Numbers (Not verified the emergency Number as we decided to do it at end) - Routed through Cisco Gateway
    Lync to Landline Numbers – Any 7 digit numbers - Routed through Cisco Gateway
    Lync to National Numbers – Starting with 3,4,6,7,8 followed by 7 digits - Routed through Cisco Gateway
    Lync to Mobile Phones – Starting with 05 contains exactly 10 digits - Routed through Cisco Gateway
    Lync to International Numbers – Starting 00 contains at least 11 digits - Routed through Cisco Gateway
    All Incoming calls – From Landline, Mobiles, International Numbers - Routed through Cisco Gateway
    Call Transfer – To another Lync Extension, Cisco Extension, Landline, Mobiles, International Number
    Conference – with another Lync Extension, Cisco Extension, Landline, Mobiles, International Number
    Call Forwarding – To another Number, Voice mail
    Response Groups
    Click to call – As if user try to place a call by directly click the number from Outlook, Websites will be in E.164 format
    Dial in meeting – Conference calls are works fine
    But when we roll out to the production we are facing issues listed below
    1) The phones we used during testing are working which is using same dial plan, Voice policy, Route, PSTN Usage. But from production most of the phones are not working (using the same dial plan, voice policy, Route). Also Problem is only with external calls
    as the internal calls are working fine between Cisco & Lync even in production (Routed through CUCM) NOTE: All incoming calls are working fine (From international, local, national, extension)
    2) How long its going to take for Lync to push the new voice policies, Dial plans to the Phones?
    3) Is there a way to forcefully update the policies, dial plans to the Phone?
    4) Also the environment is using over 100 dial plans, so I just copied and pasted the Normalization rules that we tested and working fine.  Most of the dial plans are assigned to individual users as every dial plan contains a normalization rule for
    international calling with Unique Prefix (Example: User John international Normalization rules says #1234#00#CountrycodePhonenumber, means if John has to place the international call he need to dial #1234# followed by 00 and then country code, then actual
    phone number). In this case how long its take for the users / phones to get updated with new dial plans? 
    6) Is it recommended to use multiple dial plans ? What are the best practices?
    5) Also calls are working fine one & failing on subsequent tries. Means when I dial first 1 or 2 times. Call fails, but when I try 3rd time and subsequently it works. After some again there will be failure during 1 or 2 attempts. Why is it so?
    6) After updating the dial policies, voice Route, Voice policies If i reboot all the phones from Switch, Will the changes take effect immediately?
    7) Also when some one calling from mobile or external number to Lync extensions they cant here any Dial tones or caller tunes? Its working fine when they call Cisco Extensions. Also to Lync its working if we dial in E.164 Format, if we dial like 023XXXXX
    format its not working. Any guess about this issue?
    Waiting for some one to help, 
    Best regards
    Krishna
    Thanks & Regards Krishnakumar B

    Hi,
    1.  As all incoming call worked normally, please double check outgoing ports for Lync FE Server and Mediation Server.
    You can refer to the link of “Ports and protocols for internal servers in Lync Server 2013” below:
    http://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/library/gg398833.aspx
    2.  When an administrator makes a change to Lync Server (for example, when an administrator creates a new voice policy or changes the Address Book server configuration settings) that change is recorded in the Central Management store.
    In turn, the change must then be replicated to all the computers running Lync Server services or server roles.
    So it may not replication completely immediately.
    3.  You can run the following cmdlet with Lync Server Management Shell on FE server to
    forcibly replicate information to a computer: Invoke-CsManagementStoreReplication
    4.  As you used over 100 dial plans, it may be the issue of multiple dial plans. Would you please tell us why you created different dial plan for individual user with unique prefix?
    5.  Multiple dial plans and undue normalization rules may cause call fail. You can double check the normalization rule.

  • SOLVED(8i): missing symbol nnflboot (with new patch)

    8i-EE with new patch (patch date 27 August) has a big problem:
    the created libclntsh.so is useless: missing symbol nnflboot,
    which doesn't exist anywhere.
    (And to the guy who wrote something that sounded like this isn't
    serious: not a single program that uses libclntsh, which is THE
    library every dynamically linked Oracle-client program uses, will
    run!)
    Reason: script bin/gennfgt creates the C-sources for nnfgt.o,
    which contains that undefined symbol (nnfgt.o is in libn8.a). The
    script checks what libs are available and also checks for and
    finds libldapclnt8.a. Now it adds a call to nnflboot to the
    C-file, because it has found LDAP-support - but the libnldap8.a,
    where this funtion is supposed to be defined, is size 0.
    Good solution: hey, Oracle, give us a libnldap8.a!
    Quick hack: remove the check for LDAP from gennfgt, and do
    gennfgt >temp.c
    gcc -c -o nnfgt.o temp.c
    rm temp.c
    ar r nnfgt.o libn8.a
    genclntsh
    relink all
    That was easy, wasn't it ;-) ?
    There are many more bugs left....
    null

    Hello Michael,
    thanks for the help, Oracle 8i on Suse 6.2 runs fine now. But I
    didn3t test it very well, perhaps there still many bugs.
    Just one quick hint:
    it3s
    ar r libn8.a nnfgt.o
    not
    ar r nnfgt.o libn8.a
    I3m looking forward to your patch, so we don3t have to hack all
    the 8i, to get it to work.
    Keep up with the good work,
    Ralph

  • Camera app not working with logitech webcam with new windows 8.1 update

    My Logitech camera app was working fine before win 8.1 update.
    ALL drivers are updated.
    Camera works fine when I run Logitech program/software, just won't work with camera app included win windows 8.
    I just get a dark screen.
    I searched forums.  This appears to be a common problem.  Microsoft Techs just state uninstall camera app and reinstall.  But, this is an app that won't let me reinstall.  Plus, I search Microsoft Store and can't find the camera app.
    Any suggestions.
    Thanks

    I'm having more or less the same issue, but it extends beyond just the app. I'm replying here because this is the topic I was referred to by one of your support members on twitter and I'm trying to help keep things organized so that hopefully one day Microsoft
    can solve the issue.
    I have the Logitech Webcam HD C 525 which worked perfectly fine on my Windows Vista Home Premium machine. I recently built myself a computer and purchased Windows 8.1 complete (I heard that you could chose the OS language and as I'm living overseas I was really
    happy to finally be able to use Windows in English).
    I'm using Windows 8.1 64 bit and got around to installing skype on Christmas eve so I could video chat with my family back home. However, I ran into an annoying issue when trying to use the webcam. I installed the latest drivers and applications clean and straight
    directly from Logitech, plugged in the webcam and it was not detected.
    Following the troubleshooting info from Logitech, I then switched my camera from a USB 3.0 port to a 2.0 one, this shouldn't matter, but I tried it anyway. It changed nothing. I uninstalled and reinstalled the drivers multiple times with no change.
    After a bit of reaching out on twitter I had a friend suggest using ONLY the Microsoft drivers for my device. I COMPLETELY removed and deleted the device and drivers from my machine and then installed them using the info found here in the troubleshooting section:
    http://windows.microsoft.com/en-us/windows-8/camera-app-faq.
    I plugged my camera back into the 2.0 port and my camera flicked on for 2 seconds (preview included) then shut off again and told me it wasn't detectable. I opened Skype and it seemed ok. When it came time to actually Skype with my family skype could no longer
    detect my webcam. It flicked on and off briefly and told me it wasn't detectable.
    The current state of my webcam is that it is buggy and unreliable. Opening skype or the logitech app or ANY app that uses my camera yields the same result: an endless loop of my camera flickering on and off, and messages of "not detected" between
    images from my camera. The camera still works on my old computer normally, thus it is not an issue with the camera itself.
    I have read many people having my same issue with various webcams (not just Logitech because I briefly considered buying a Microsoft one) and the one thing in common was it was all on Windows 8.1
    As posted in a few posts above I downloaded and ran Process Monitor while I opened skype and my camera sat through the endless detect/non-detected issue it has currently. I hope I have the log information saved correctly (if not I can re-do it, it is not difficult
    to reproduce as it happens all the time). I could not figure out how to copy/pase the information in the log file, so here is a link to my log file:

  • 11 Nice Features with New Awesome & easy Magnetic Pen Tool (Updated)

    1.      Scale effects during the scaling object, in the control bar there is more space (Empty) that will be the helpful to show you the example of the picture that I have made myself, when you transform any object, you will see these options in the control bar.
    2.      Save preset of filters in filter gallery:- will be really powerful, it must be exchangeable so that we could send that preset to any one, it must be applicable on percentage(%) of document size, (depends on document resolution).
    3.     Filter gallery must be the (live filter gallery), if this works on any raster object without converting to smart object, this will be helpful for creating live PSD.
    4.     History panel:- history panel must save the history of document. It will be helpful and powerful, we could apply that history to any document like actions, and history should not be saved with document itself, it must be separate like actions, create 2 arrows in the bottom of panel like layer combs’ panel, to check the history, if any step is wrong we could be able to remove that step,
                                  OR
    5.   Also create/convert history into action, see the pic as example,
    If (to Adobe Photoshop Team) history saving is not a good idea! Then before closing the document you must convert history into actions, when any person saves document and has forgotten converting history into actions and wants to close the document, at that time that dialogue must be opened, (Do you want to convert your history into actions, when you open (that) document again you will miss history, and also must create a CHECK BOX for don’t show again.
    6.     Layers Group:- In the group (folder) we move the objects with move tool and it moves all grouped objects that’s much better, but when we open the group (Folder), after opening it moves also all grouped object !!!, that’s not perfect, I suggest you how to do it, double click on grouped any object to open the group then move any object, and double click on any grouped object to close the group (folder). ( like Illustrator )
    7.      Photoshop Extended can create powerful creative animation with audio and animation panel support completely the smart object and smart object makes animation really smart. But the problem is that it takes too much time to generate animation of few seconds and generated video file size is very large up to 1.GB.
            Here is solution, like new document dialogue box under the Device Central button it shows the document size, as hint, same way in the render video dialogue box it must show the file size and generating time and reducing file size hints.
            I had created (20 months ago) in Photoshop extend CS3  really awesome animation of earth, from where it starts it ends there, and shadows on earth are really awesome, map that moves to the shadow side, it changes from day to night and in the shadows you can see the roads’ and cities’ lights’ just like real night map photo it happens like naturally cause of smart object, I have two photos of the map day and night used for animation, you can see that creative animation on youtube.
    (Link)= http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=sd86xGIkQxM
    watch this animation in full screen Mode, b/c Youtube has reduced the Quality of Video.
    8.   Welcome Screen:- Why welcome Screen is necessary?
                    Adobe’s all products must be linked with Design sequence. (Interface)
    Design Standard Suite which itself is a famous  printing and publishing suite for design ( creation) layout, must keep same sequence of all products and should not affect the attraction,
                    Example for Interface, now if CS6 all programs are created with new interface will you don’t change the Photoshop's interface???
    Here are my Design Sequences Examples
    These Pictures I have Designed in Illustrator
    Photoshop with Welcome Screen Looking like Illustrator & Indesign now it matching with its Family.
    Benifits of Welcome Screen for ( New ) user
    A.    Many people don't know that Photoshop has free few samples with it these are nice example to understand that what photoshop can do!
    B.    Photoshop Exchange : is really Necessary : for to exchange Workspace, color profile, Actions, Key Board Shortcuts, Layer Styles,    Swatches, Filter Gallery Presets & PSDs etc.
    C.    This will be helpful for New Users TV.Adobe.com they will watch free teqchniques, as see this welcome screen.
    D.     Any older user don't want to see the welcome screen that person can turn on that check box (Don't Show Again).
    9. Pen Tool + Magnetic Pen Tool =
    In my idea pen tool is the perfect tool for vector drawing it gives us perfect result as we want. but about those people like (Toys-R-Us (One Really Big Pen Tool Shortcoming) or other like him, if they can't understand, although pen tool is very easy to use, & he wants short key without going back for to breatck the handle, (for those people) if you want to create short key then short key should be "c or any easy" press to breat the handle, then press again to get back handle again during the using pen tool, or create a magnetic pen tool it must work like magnetic lasso tool works for selection, it will be the best & easy to use & to understand, during to use this tool if it goes to wrong way simply press back space key to go back to last step same like Magnetic Lasso.
    (Awesome Magnetic Pen Tool)
    or create pen tool like fireworks its pen tool shows next click's preview (very nice pen tool is in fireworks to understand ( really Awesome )
    10. keyboard shortcuts like Illustrator for Blend Modes Next , Previous & Opacity 10 to 90, I had started to learn Illustrator CS3 & since CS3 I use these shortcuts for that, (~)tildi for next blend mode, Shift (~) tildi for previous mode, & opacity 10=1 key 20=2 to 90=9 key
    11.PANEL ICONS Should be Attached under or above the tool Bar but not on Right or Left Side only ( like Indeign CS2 ).
    Note :-
    I shall appreciate your frank comments on the above suggestions.

    OK Here goes my wannahaves...
    1) create new table or sheet from a file instead of having to open the file and copy/paste into current document. ie "Insert Sheet from file", "Insert Table from File"
    2) show linked data from a data source other than the address book - eg an ODBC data source or Filemaker database
    3) Ability to paste a filtered table into a new table with just the found rows.
    4) Ability to freeze rows and columns to allow for very wide or deep tables
    5) When typing data into a cell, automatically adjust its width as you type. Depending on your enter key config, hitting enter puts a new line in the cell and adjusts the row height to fit.
    6) Printer page formats default to regional standard: eg in Australia, UK - A4
    7) Popup list or menu contents based on a data range: eg a list of categories
    8) Media to be selected from anywhere on the system, not just in iTunes/iPhoto (eg most of my video is on an external hard drive)
    9) "Autofilter" based on contents of the column.
    10) Vlookup and other reference functions: need to be able to select a table (by name) as your range, a column/row (by name) to look up from and a column/row (by name) to retrieve. All functions should work this way, not just the basic ones.
    11) When inserting a table you should be asked how many rows and columns.
    12 "Format painter" - copy styles and other formatting from cell to cell and table to table.
    13) Outlining based upon repeated cell values

  • Airport Express problems with new MAC MINI and DLINK router SOLVED

    Hi just thought I would post this as it may well help others experiencing similar frustrations with new core duo mac mini and wireless connection or quality problems across the network / internet etc
    I have a 3 week old, new mac mini core duo 1.8ghz 2gig ram, 120gb disk - First Mac, connecting to my exisiting wireless network via DLINK ADSL Router 2MB Broadband also one windows laptop and pc also wireless on the network and two airport express potins to stream itunes to
    Problem was briefly
    Mac worked fine, but the network connection just far too slow, laptop and pc, 1800+ kbps downstream mac mini 90 - 150kbps (http://www.adslguide.org/tools/speedtest.asp)
    also if i ping the router directly from terminal (ping -c 20 192.168.1.1) average response 12+ ms with 20% packet loss, yet laptop and pc avg 2ms no losses
    Spent 2 evenings on frustrating calls of more than 1 hour each (due to being cut off , then ring back and closed etc etc) and carrying out a the helpdesk troubleshooting (I am an IT consultant I think I am above this level), eventually an archive and install of the os as well
    last night I call for the third time, insisting I dont wish to carry out any further troubleshooting, and want it replaced and resolved or my money back
    I receive a call back from product specialist (not sure if thats mac mini specialist or airport) but we resolved the issue (his knowledge far superior to the help desk do this do this attitude)
    between us we carried out the folowing and resolved the problem and I am now very happy
    mac now downstreaming also in excess of 1800kbps (as expected for 2mb broadband)and no packet loss
    This problem was resolved by switching off the turbo option hidden away in the routers settings, under wireless configuration
    Supposed to improve performance, but its rubbish and will make hardly any difference under mac os to the speed but will certainly affect your mac mini performance(you may have a similar setting switched on in your routers and mac os dont like it)
    We stumbled across this by first disconnecting one of the airport express devices from my dlink network, and using it on its own default apple wireless settings, effectively making it a standalone wireless network, and not via the dlink router
    we then carried out the same ping with the ip address of this device (from airport admin utility default 10.0.1.1) and the results were fantastic 2ms avg no package loss
    this established it was something with the router, and how we then interrogated the routers settings and found the turbo on option within wireless configuration
    you may not be able to replicate this if you dont have an additional network you could join (such as airport express), but probably worth checking your own router settings for something similar
    Hope that may be of assistance to others, sorry that its a bit long winded and garbled, but I'm just so excited to finally get my new mac working as i would expect it to
    Also perhaps insist on speaking to a product specialist immediately that the helpdesk are unable to help you

    Hello macfar14. Welcome to the Apple Discussions!
    For just streaming iTunes and/or for sharing a USB printer, the AirPort Express Base Station (AX) just needs to be configured as a wireless client ... which you already attempted to do.
    Just to be sure nothing was missed, here are the basic steps to do this:
    Either connect to the AX's wireless network or connect directly, using an Ethernet cable, to the Ethernet port of the AX, and then using the AirPort Utility in "Manual Setup" mode, make the following changes:
    AirPort > Wireless
    o Wireless Mode: Join a wireless network
    o Network Name: <existing wireless network's Network Name or SSID>
    o Wireless Security: <select the encryption type of the existing wireless network>
    o Wireless Password: <enter the existing wireless network password>
    o Verify Password: <re-enter the existing wireless network password>
    Music
    o Enable AirTunes (checked)

  • Missing effects in cs5. Error message when I add presets.

    So I'm new to AE, and need some help. When I add the "rotate over time" animation preset to a title, it says "this favorite contains 1 reference to a missing effect. Please install the following effect to restore this reference". Does anyone know how I can get this worked out? Everything is there in my effects and presets, except this error message keeps showing up when I add it. When I look in my presets folder, the transform is clearly there. Any help? Something I'm missing/overlooking?
    Specs: 2010 17 in mbp, 2.53 ghz i5, 8 gb ram, 500 gb. AE cs5 10.2

    Nothing to worry about. This is a so called "Pseudo Effect". More details here: http://www.batchframe.com/tutorials/12
    Basically the documentation of this custom preset should have contained some code thant you need to insert into "PresetEffects.xml" and is just for naming purposes. So as long as you can live with the "missing effect" name you have nothing to worry about.

  • *** Adobe Creative Suite 4 Now Shipping!  After Effects CS4 New Features ***

    Adobe have officially announced the upcoming Creative Suite 4 group of products, including
    After Effects CS4,
    CS4 Production Premium bundle, and
    CS4 Master Collection.
    After Effects CS4 Top New Features
    b Live Adobe Photoshop 3D layers import
    Import Adobe® Photoshop® 3D layers into Adobe After Effects® CS4, move them, animate cameras around them, adjust lighting, and composite them with other elements.
    b Searchable timelines and projects and easier nested comp navigation
    Locate any element in a comp or project with the new QuickSearch. Quickly navigate between nested comps with the new Mini-Flowchart.
    b Compositions exported as layered projects
    Export compositions as layered, XFL format projects that can be opened and edited in Adobe Flash® CS4 Professional software. Many After Effects assets such as text and Adobe Illustrator® artwork are preserved as vectors.
    b Integrated workflow for mobile device authoring
    Select devices in Adobe Device Central and automatically set up an After Effects project that targets those devices, with settings that match the targeted devices and the Render Queue setup to output to the proper codecs and resolutions.
    b Numerous interface and workflow tweaks
    Work more efficiently with dozens of user-requested changes, including the new Auto Resolution setting that only renders visible pixels when zooming in and out of a comp view, streamlined memory and multicore processing preferences, and more.
    b Dynamic Link between Adobe Premiere Pro, After Effects, and Soundbooth
    Using Adobe Creative Suite® 4 Production Premium software, now link Adobe Premiere® Pro sequences to an After Effects composition and After Effects comps to Adobe Soundbooth® with Adobe Dynamic Link.
    b Independent keyframing of x, y, z values, plus 3D compositing improvements
    Composite in 3D space more easily: Keyframe x, y, and z position values separately, and use the new unified camera, which makes the After Effects camera tool work more like those in 3D modeling applications.
    b Cartoon effect
    Instantly give live footage the look of cell animation. Stylize video by reducing the color palette of a clip and by emphasizing edges.
    b Mocha for Adobe After Effects from Imagineer Systems
    Use this powerful 2.5D planar tracking application from Imagineer Systems to track the motion of elements even in challenging shots where elements move offscreen or where there is motion blur or excessive grain.
    b XMP metadata for asset intelligence
    Now retain asset metadata while you work in After Effects. Add new project-, comp-, and layer-level metadata to streamline project tracking, and automate asset auditing and many other tasks.
    Also note that
    Adobe OnLocation, included in the CS4 Master Collection, Production Premium bundle, and with Premiere Pro, now runs natively in Mac OS X as well as Windows.

    There's a list of the big new features in the
    "New features in After Effects CS4" section of After Effects CS4 Help on the Web, and you can read about every little change to the UI in the
    "User interface changes from After Effects CS3 to After Effects CS4" section.
    But I thought that all of you who have posted requests to this wishlist might like to get specific responses to some of the items on this list.
    First of all, though, I'd like to point out an innovative set of features that I think addresses a request that many of you have made... just not exactly as you asked for it. All of us have wanted a better way to see into and navigate among nested compositions (precompositions). The Composition Mini-Flowchart and Composition Navigator make moving around in a complex project much, much faster and easier. Telling you to see the
    "Opening and navigating nested compositions" section isn't going to do this feature set justice. You'll only appreciate how slick this is when you get your hands on it.
    Oh, and we reversed the behavior of double-clicking versus Option-double-clicking a precomposition layer: Now double-clicking opens the source composition in the Composition panel, not the precomposition layer in the Layer panel.
    Now, on to the specific responses...
    David Wigforss:
    > I completely agree that the graph editor needs work....
    > Position values need to be seperated into 3 distinct values that can
    > be adjusted independant of each other.
    Done.
    See
    "Separate dimensions of Position to animate components individually".
    Mark Weiss:
    > would like to see XDCam EX import capabilities.
    Done.
    See
    "Supported import formats".
    AndyClarke:
    > all effects in 32 bit or float
    Not quite all. But more are, including all of the 3D Channel effects, which is a category that really needed the upgrade.
    See
    "Effects and animation presets".
    AndyClarke
    > prob a really simple little thing but a 'centre anchor point' button could be handy?
    Move layers so that their anchor points are in the center of the composition or view?
    If so, then done. See the first tip on the
    "Move layers in space" page.
    silversurfer:
    > An intra-project search function that displays properties of every layer.
    Done.
    See
    "Search and filter in the Timeline, Project, and Effects & Presets panels".
    (Plus, you can now use the shortcut FF to show instances of missing effects. See
    "About effects".)
    Thomas Craul:
    > the possibility to expand all of the effects parameters in the effect controls window at once.
    > just like when expanding all layer properties or all subfolders with strg+klick (little arrow).
    Done.
    See
    "Shortcuts: showing properties in the Effect Controls panel".
    Pietje Bel:
    > I'd like to see some features I can use with my tablet (I got it for photoshop, though
    > I use AE even more than I use photoshop).
    We've had features for using the pen dynamics with the paint tools for a while. See
    "Brushes and the Brushes panel".
    That said, we've made some improvements under the hood that should make using a pen better (e.g., modifying the sensitivity during certain click and drag operations).
    Darren McNeill:
    > Simple, I would like After Effects to have the ability to extrude Text in 3d space.
    > Nothing complicated, just be able to create 3d Text.
    How about the ability to do this in Photoshop and then import the 3D object layer into After Effects?
    See
    "Using 3D object layers from Photoshop"
    invisiblerabbit:
    > Being able to specify how many processors to use in the multiprocessing preference pane.
    Done. Plus other improvements in this area.
    See
    "Memory & Multiprocessing preferences".
    invisiblerabbit:
    > I'd love a setting either in the preferences or the output module to write project
    > information (importantly: the name of the project) into the metadata of the rendered file.
    Done. And then some. On steroids.
    See
    "XMP metadata in After Effects".
    Navarro Parker:
    > I'd love AE projects to be searchable. Having the ability to search for comp names or source footage
    > names within projects from the Finder would be fantastic.
    Done, as long as you have the means to search within XML files. The new XML project file format opens up a lot of scripting possibilities, too.
    See
    "About projects".
    David Bogie:
    > I humbly ask the Adobe After Effects team to concentrate first on fixing anything
    > and everything that is broken or buggy before adding any more complexity to this application.
    > Make it more elgant, make it easier to use, make it faster... sure, fine. But invest the
    > creative energy and geek resources to making it work flawlessly instead of adding more stuff.
    Though we did add "more stuff", we also spent a lot of time polishing the application this time. The number of small tweaks to address pain points was very large.
    AndyClarke:
    > I just don't like the help browser.
    Better?
    After Effects CS4 Help on the Web
    Laurie Hogan:
    > I got a simple one. Can AE have Spell Check.
    AE Enhancers provides
    a spelling checker script.
    Laurie Hogan:
    > Also Can there be more integration between AE and Apple FCP.
    I give a link to a script from Dale Bradshaw on the
    "Supported import formats" page (at the bottom of the page).

  • Creating new page with new parent tab

    Does this happen to anyone else? When I try to create a new page that will have a new parent tab and standard tab in a 2-level tab setup, it never seems to work right. I end up having to dele the new parent tab and standard tab I created while creating the new page. Then once the page is created, I go into Shared Components -> Tabs, and create a new Parent Tab and assign it to this new page. Seems like a crazy way to have to do it.
    I know this sounds crazy and it is hard to explain the issue, but anyone who has had this problem with creating a new page with new 2-level tabs will understand what I am talking about.
    Can anyone point me to an explanation on how this should be done? I know I must be missing something.
    Thanks,
    John

    I've recently had to muck around with the 2 level tabs aswell. There are some things making this rather difficult indeed.
    What i'd do when creating a new page you want to have under a new tab, but also with a new parent tab, is to create it with only a new STANDARD tab. Don't create a new parent tabset. All parent tabs are in the same tabset, and if you create a new tabset you'll effectively see only this new parent tab + tab on the page you created.
    So unless you want the page to be on an absolutely new set of tabs, you'll probably just want the page to be on a new top-level tab with under that a new standard tab. Like so:
    <NEW PARENT> | parent 1 | parent 3 | parent 4
    <NEW TAB> |
    To achiece this, you'll need a new standard tab set. You can create this when creating the page. The standard tab set is the set used for you lower level tabs, so obviously we do need a new one.
    As for the parent set which you can choose upon page creation, choose the already existing parent tab set. This set contains all your already existing parent tabs, and you wish to add one for display.
    When you finish creating the page and run it, you'll see that the standard (lower level) tab is there, and is set to active, but your parent tab is not there.
    Go to Shared Components > Tabs. Select the "Manage Tabs" tab there. You can notice your new set there, but notice the striped outline of it. This tab has no parent tab for it! And this is the problem with tab creation in 2-level tabs: you can make a new STANDARD tab and tabset, and define a parent tab set OR create a NEW tab set with tab. Both options fail us: what we want is a NEW parent tab in an existing parent tab set!
    So to fix our problem, from the manage tabs tab click on "Manage Parent Tabs", found on the right hand side of the screen in the region "Parent Tab Tasks".
    This'll bring you to a magical new tab within the tab components. It's a mystery to me why it has to be hidden like this, and makes it a real pain to use. On this page you can manage your parent tabs (the only place to do so actually...). Here you'll see there is no parent tab for your page (again), but here you can create a new parent tab from the right hand menu "Parent Tab Tasks" > "Create New Parent Tab". Enter a label, and choose your existing parent tab set as parent tab set. Don't create a new set. As for target, refer to your new page again.
    However, we are not done yet. You are returned to the "Parent Tab Management" page. You new parent tab will be shown there, but when you run your page, the parent tab will not be set active yet.
    To fix that, go back to the "Parent Tab Management". Select your parent tab so you go to it's details. Firstly, give it a new sequence number, otherwise it'll be shared with one (the parent tabs are created with sequence nr 10, so most probably on a shared position with your first parent tab).
    Then turn your eyes on the "Current on Standard TabSet" list item. It'll have an option selected, but take a good look: it'll be the same name as your parent tab. From the options, select your new Standard tab set (the lower level set) which holds your new page. Then apply your changes and run your page: both your parent and standard tab will be there and highlighted. Yay!
