Motion not exporting transparency....

after exporting text project from MOTION 2 to FCP HD 5.1.2.my backgrounds are not transparent--even though i exported the files from motion with transparency on--yesterday's project DID export transparency--after second try--is this a corrupt file issue?--i'm importing transparencies intoMOTION with no problem but exports are not working--- anybody with ideas on this?---thanks

i said to myself DOAH! DOAH! and DOAH! about a half hour later that i was---by habit---in instances where clips are doing wild things and i render them as quicktime movies before they are imported to FCP ---that this was the cause of my troubles---i apologize--i'm new to motion and have spent the better part of this week exploring it--i LOVE it!--it's amazing and exciting!--however i expected certain behaviour characteristics from other applications and assumed that it acted accordingly--live and learn--having said that--MOTION (2) unexpectedly quits on occasion---if you have ideas about that i'd love to know what you think--thanks for responding--ciao

Motion not exporting video, just a black screen

I am creating some scrolling text in Motion and when I export the file I am using the same setting I always have. It is a quicktime movie and I am using the current project and canvas settings. I haven't changed anything but after a few times of exporting scrolling text it only shows a black screen in the exported file. The first few work fine. Any ideas?
Thanks for your time.

I've seen this problem off and on again for so long now I consider it a feature and not a bug. I have no idea what causes it as I've seen it happen with different versions of Motion, under different versions of the OS on different Macs.
The solution for me is to export as an Animation file when this happens. Nothing else works from reinstalling to trashing the com.apple.motion.plist file.
I've also never ever ever had a .motn file in FCP's timeline render as anything but pure black. Even trying it on different machines in different editing suites. It just doesn't work and never has for me.

Not fully transparent when exported little white dots around images

I don't know if I should just copy from the illustrator file while in the program and paste into my indesign document directly or export as some other file. I've done the export as EPS before so I went with that. However my images that I drew in illustrator with a brush tool and colored are not full transparent. I see little white spots I don't know if that's because indesign shows them like that or are they actually there. I am combining images because I drew parts separately as opposed to drawing the whole scene together because I wanted to move certain characters/objects/scenery. My question is are the little white spots actually there or is that just that indesign displays it that way? I exported them with the default settings as EPS in illustrator with transparency. I didn't change any settings. Thank you in advance. Oh and I use illustrator cs5.1

so basically only PDF and AI files are able to hold transparency? or are there other formats? In that case what should be a good format for professional print when I have a logo or image that has transparent parts? (In illustrator that would be any part you haven't colored correct?) I've gotten EPS files though that have transparency. Or maybe I'm using transparency wrong I mean like for example you if I made a logo the edges of the logo would be clean but in my case it isn't. there are little white spots as if my background was filled with paintbucket tool in photoshop and removing it with the magic eraser tool from the white background I filled in. I don't mean transparency as in the opacity but as in the background being transparent. Sorry for the confusion!
Example:

Motion 3 not exporting entire sequence

I'm trying to export and sequence from Motion and it will not export the entire sequence. My animation is not terribly complicated, just photos with some animated text so I don't think that it's something my computer can't handle. Motion doesn't crash or do anything strange. I'm not having any problems with any other Motion projects (some that are much more involved too). It just stops the export around 3/4 way through. I've checked all my settings and everything appears to be in order. I've even tried exporting parts of the animation and it still won't export everything between the in and out points. Any suggestions?

when you export are you using "export play range"?

Premiere Pro is not interpreting transparency correctly with the Adobe Creative Cloud 1.8.0.447 update

Yesterday, I updated to Adobe Creative Cloud 1.8.0.447. I found that after the update, both Premiere Pro CC (2014) and Premiere Pro CC are not ready transparency layers and alpha layers correctly. I have some lower third logos that I use on multiple projects and they are showing up more opaque than they should. Additionally, I have an export preset that uses a watermark. This watermark is showing up more opaque than it should too. I have checked both graphics in After Effects with the new Creative Cloud update and all graphics look fine. It seems to be an issue that is isolated in Premiere. The issue only happens when there is a video layer underneath the graphics. When the graphics are viewed with no video layer underneath, the transparency looks as it should. I have attached a few images showing the problems. They show graphics with and without video layers beneath.

I was able to resolve the issue by going into File>Project Settings>General and changing the Render from GPU Acceleration (OpenCL) to Software Only. It appears there is an issue with the AMD FirePro D500 graphics card. I was told by a call tech at Adobe that there are issues with the D300, D500, and D700 Graphics cards. However, I have an Intel Iris graphics card on my MacBook Pro and was having the same transparency issue. So, I'm skeptical that the issue is just with the graphics card. The transparency issue did not start on BOTH computers until the latest CC upgrade. For now, the Software Only renderer option fixes the issue. I hope to see a fix in the next CC update. FYI: The Renderer needs to be changed to Software Only in both Premiere Pro Project Settings and Media Encoder Preferences.

HELP - Export Transparent Image in CS3

There used to be a very useful function in CS2 under Help which was Export Transparent Image. What happened to that function in CS3 and how the hell do I export transparent image now in CS3?
Please help, this is quite urgent.
Thanks.

I hear what you are saying Noel... But I came to these forums in good faith with a question about a tool I found useful that was no longer available. I admit I let my frustration show in my first several postings about this because in the other topic on this issue, one of the staffers here even tried to say the function did not even exist. That in combination with the attitude that 'anyone that would use this function must have no experience' or should be using Photoshop Elements did not strike me as either very helpful or polite. I would never let one of my staff treat a customer who came to us seeking help to act this way. It is inexcusable and I saw from the other postings that I am not the only one who feels this way.
Here is a selction of a few of the things she said to me... she seems to have confused me with someone else?
"Dear same idiot who feels the need to use PM to continue an ended/locked/deleted forum discussion,"
"There is no point in continual messaging unless you feel it is some sort of release for your mental condition. Your message is clear. I have no problem comprehending your words. I simply disagree with your insane beliefs. I understand fully who used the function and why it was removed. I was simply stating a fact and offering an alternative that you seemed to ignore. I don't care if the function meant something more to you. Nothing I can do is going to bring it back or afford you any better people skills. You need to get over this... and get over me"
"I just found the Google cache of the closed thread and realized that you may not be the same idiot that contacted me earlier using a fresh forum account. But that still does not make you any less of an idiot."
"The question posed in the forum was "How do I export transparent images in CS5 like I did in CS4?" The question was "viable" and answers were given by others and myself. Just because you do not like an answer does not mean you have to act like a child."
"The answer was not to beg Adobe to bring it back in a user to user forum. If you want to communicate with Adobe, go to their feature request form."
"If you were a designer for 30 years, you would have known how to make a transparent file prior to the Help function that Adobe added for a few versions. With that Help function gone, you should now have the intelligence to craft an action to do the same thing with the press of a button. It is not really a challenge. If you need assistance, bring this topic back to the public forum. Your rude PMs are worthless to us both."
"I look forward to further discussion in the public forum where you don't need to hide your personal problems in PMs."
I find these kind of responses by a staff member of Adobe forums to abusive in nature. Granted after getting this kind of rude response back to my questions, I returned in like kind. I usually do not have these kinds of interactions online, I find them childish and a waste of time. They do nothing for the greater good of the forums and help no one. but I don't take kindly to being treated with disrespect.
I hope this does not exemplify the tenor of communication here on Adobe's forums. If so... it would be a shame, because Adobe has a great reputation in our community. It would be a shame to let a few individuals tarnish it.
I for one would prefer that the person is question has no further communication with me. I think that would be best for all concerned. Thank You.

Motion: No Export Window

For some reason, when I try to export from Motion, the export window does not appear. I have deleted plist and repaired disk permissions, but I have no idea where the window has gone. If I "Export using Compressor" the window appears, but not otherwise. Any suggestions?
Thank you,
Rybo

Trash it then reinstall it... this is a menu that drops from the top of the interface, and you must have a corrupt install I'd think.
Trash the app icon, the plist, preferences, and the reciepts for it in the Library/reciepts folder... then reinstall. I'm pretty sure you can leave the templates alone for this, and the new install will find them without a hitch, and just leave the reciepts for them in the reciepts folder. (Motion content 1 and 2).

Project not exporting

Hello! I had a client ask for an update to a commercial I made in Motion 5.0.x.
I had since updated to 5.1 and the project opens and plays just fine... but it will not export! It's been at 5-6% for the last hour.
Any suggestions?
Thanks!
Kyle

Sorry that didn't work for you. Do you see this export problem with all expport/share choices or only with some/one? Have you tried the usual fixes i.e. trash preferences, repair permissions, try a new user etc.? You might review the slowness issues in the FCP X forum. There are a lot of posts regarding slowness with FCP X 10.1 and Mavericks. Possible issues are amount of memory, Hard Disk space etc. Wish I could be of more assistance but this slowness issue seems to affect a lot of users and no definitive answer has yet appeared. My impression is it seems to be more prevelent with Macbook Pros.

Which functions and features in Numbers are NOT exported correctly to Excel?

I wish to know EXACTLY which functions I use in a Numbers sheet WILL FAIL to export correctly to an Excel or Neoffice spreadsheet.
For instance, I created a Numbers spreadsheet using prolific use of the IFERROR function. However, when I EXPORT to XLS, all the cells that used the IFERROR function were replaced by the literal value of the cell. My IFERROR formulae were not EXPORTED as I had expected.
I note that some formulae were converted correctly in my EXPORTED spreadsheet: eg MAX, MIN, AVERAGE.
I understand that IFERROR was a function introduced recently to Excel, ie in the 2007 version. Consequently, I suspect that Numbers exports to a pre-2007 version of Excel. If so, which version?
I have found this list that shows which functions are compatable amongst various versions of Excel:
Excel Functions: Compatibility Reference (2010, 2007 & 2003). (n.d.). Retrieved from https://docs.google.com/spreadsheet/ccc?key=0AsHau4_IeCfwdG45c0VhcjBBUGNreVo2ZzN NRU1BT0E#gid=0
This list shows that, for instance, IFERROR exisits inb both Excel 2007 and Numbers-09. So why is IFERROR not exported?
Curmi, J. (n.d.). Summary of function in excel and numbers-09. Retrieved from http://curmi.com/blog/wp-content/uploads/2009/01/functions-in-excel-and-numbers- 09.pdf
Some examples of my use of ISERROR in Numbers are as follows:
=IFERROR(RANK(C47,$C47:$J47,1),"")
=IFERROR(MEDIAN(C51:C58),"")
=IFERROR($C32-C88+1,"")
I use the above function to carry out the calculation ONLY IF a cell is non-blank and contains a number.
More questions
What are the rules that Numbers uses to convert to Excel?
Is Numbers converting to the 2003 version of Excel? ... or an earlier version? ... which version?
Why desn't Numbers advise me there were conversion errors or simplifications made?
eg: "Cell A33 Function IFERROR was exported to the cell value for Excel"
Is there a preference that I can select which version of Excel that Numbers will export to?
In the meantime, I must abandon Numbers and use NeoOffice!

Thanks,
I applied your suggested ISERROR transformation to examples such as:
=IFERROR(RANK(C47,$C47:$J47,1),"")
=IFERROR(MEDIAN(C51:C58),"")
=IFERROR($C32-C88+1,"")
However, a caution for young players....
Certainly, the ISERROR function exports to .xls. However, it behaves differently in NeoOffice.
Items 1 and 2 function identically in the case of say, ranking a row in which some cells are blanks.
Item 3, when translated using ISERROR to =IF(ISERROR(C32-C88+1),"", C32-C88+1), results in "" (ie error is raised) in Numbers but yields figure 0 in NeoOffice when there is a blank in either of the cells.
I recall from programming school in the mid-1970s that using GOTO statements and On Error branch statements were not admissible as routine programming steps. In fact, we received an automatic fail grade if we used a GOTO or GOTO like construction. So, I have found a more programmatically elegant way to solve my problem: eg:
=IF(C88="","",C32-C88+1)
Curiously, earlier I found/suspect this does not work equivalently in Numbers and NeoOffice:
=IF(ISBLANK(C88),"",C32-C88+1)
When you try using ISBLANK you always get an intuitively unexpected result because ISBLANK ONLY gives TRUE when there is absolutely nothing in a cell. A Formula reference in the cell, even if the function result yields "", gives FALSE... because, according to the definition of ISBLANK the cell contains a formula.
As I tell my students, ALWAYS lookup the HELP on any function you use. ALWAYS test the function to see how it performs!.... and lesson 3: Always test your spreadsheet on different systems.... then hope!

Here's a link to my Spreadsheet (Neoffice .xls) and a video explaining its use.

Data is not exported by the FD : GUI_DOWNLOAD in background.

Hi all,
Data is not Exported by the program scheduled in background by the FD "GUI_DOWNLOAD"
its only exporting into the excel sheet and notepad in foreground.
Plase me out how should I follow the process.
Thanks & Regards,
Rajeev

You can write data to Application server in background. For path of file on Application server see TCode AL11
e.g.
file = '/tmp'. "Path
concatenate file '/itab.txt' into file.
open dataset file for output in text mode.
if SY-SUBRC = 0.
write : / 'File opened on application server' .
else.
write : / 'Unable to open file on application server'.
endif.
loop at itab.
    transfer itab to file.
endloop.
if SY-SUBRC = 0.
    write : / 'Data transfer to file on application server complete.' .
else.
    write : / 'Unable to transfer data to file on application server.'.
endif.
close dataset file.
if SY-SUBRC = 0.
    write : / 'File closed on application server' .
else.
    write : / 'Unable to close file on application server'.
endif.

Table of Contents bookmarks not exporting to PDF (CS5)

I have a 200 page book made up of 15 documents. I've created a table of contents based on paragraph styles and the TOC generates and formats correctly. When I create the TOC, the Create PDF Bookmarks box is checked. When I export the whole book I've tried it with Create Tagged PDF checked and unchecked.
After I export to PDF from the Book palette, the TOC items are links (at least they give me the pointer-hand icon) but they don't go anywhere. The only one that does is the one in the same document as the TOC. (I have tried the TOC both within a chapter and also in it's own document with no other links in it). The behavior is the same in the Bookmarks pane - all are shown but only one works. I've looked at several of the bookmarks' Properties > Actions. It says its "Going to a page in another document" > (document-name-of-the-correct-chapter-but-with-pdf-instead-of-indd.pdf) > Page 1 (this is correct) > Zoom level: actual size.
This isn't right - it's pointing to an imaginary pdf that doesn't exist. It should be pointing to page X in the current document.
Here's what I've tried:
* restarting InDesign
* restarting my machine
* deleting the TOC and regenerating it
* generating the book with all documents open or all documents closed
* moving the TOC to its own document
* probably some other things I've forgotten in the struggle
All of the links and references in the individual documents are good.
I've looked around these forums and this seems to be an ongoing and unsolved issue for other folks using older versions. This is the closest I came to finding an answer but ended up with an Adobe employee logging it as a bug in 2009. Bookmarks not exporting from InDesign to PDF in CS4 By (c_goates)
So here's hoping there is some new information. I've been trying to get this to work for far too long and don't relish drawing bookmark boxes around all 55 of my text links.
Specs: Max OS 10.6.6, CS5 (Version 7.0)
Sorry this is so long, but details help, usually. Thanks in advance for any advice.

There are some known problems with bookmarks and CS5 as well. As far as I know, the 7.0.3 update won't fix them, but it does solve some other problems, so you should install it.

Page headers are not exported to excel files - Is there a workaround?

I use 2008, SP3.
I am experiencing a problem with exporting to Excel(.xls): the page headers, but the very first, are not exported.
The report page headers consist of weekdays and the corresponding dates, meanning they are different on each page.
The report looks OK in pdf and doc formats.
Is this a known problem or limitation?
Is there is a way to controll the export to Excel to correct this problem?
Thanks and ragards

Note that this is the .NET - SAP Crystal Reports forum;
Is this an issue in a .NET app?
Does the report export as expected from the CR 2008 designer? If not, close this thread and post a new one in the [SAP Crystal Reports Design|SAP Crystal Reports, version for Visual Studio; forum.
What version of .NET?
Web or Win app?
