N-Square effect causes blackness

I shot a clip of myself using built in iSight on my MBP and attemped to apply the N-Square effec. Problem: it turns the clip into blackness when I replay it. I used a different level of squares and it give me the same result...blackness. Anybody share this problem or have a solution? Thanks.

have you saved the project after applying the effect? sometimes saving it makes the transition/effect work/appear!

Gaussian Blur effect causing black frames when rendered.

I am only using one effect in my video, its the gaussian blur, and in the previewer it shows the effect being applied, however it shows random black frames in the previewer, I thought this was just a random previewer issue.
I then rendered the video but when the blur effect is being applied it is showing random black frames in the video.

Talked to customer support and found out that it was a duplicate Gaussian Blur effect on the same frame causing it to have some issues sigh*
But thank you for the info about the media cache, I did not know about that.

Swapped out CM2320nf Fuser Causes Black Pages. FW: 20140625.

I’m sorry this is so long but I want to avoid unnecessary “Tried that” posts.
My fuser was working fine except the sleeve and pressure roller were worn out and causing wrinkles along the left side of the page and occasionally folded over the page onto itself.
I swapped the fuser out with one from one of my CP2025s that I know work. No wrinkling or folding now but the printer prints out all black pages.
I’ve tried everything including, resetting to factory defaults both from the menu and using the up arrow and cancel buttons down on power up, recalibrating and cleaning. Secondary functions to clean the belt produced a smeary grey page. Color calibration causes black pages plus horizontal lines about a quarter of an inch high of the other 3 colors about an inch apart between the rest of the black page. Scan calibration also gives similar results. I also tried reinstalling the latest firmware dated 20140625. I tried using the Automatic Document Feeder to make a copy of a scanned page, same black page.
I took out the fuser and reinstalled it to make sure I didn’t miss any electrical connections. This time I didn’t waste my time following the instructions in the Service Manual which tell you to remove all covers and the scanner unit. All’s you really have to do is pop off the back door right side stopper bar and remove the 3 screws at the top and lift up to remove back cover panel. The back door then comes off with the cover. Then 2 screws to get the fuser out. Nothing wrong or missing from the first installation so I reinstalled the fuser and still get the same results.
I tried hooking it up to the network and was able to look at and set things up using the web based interface. All are working fine. I did a printer control panel keyboard test twice to make sure all keys are working and none are stuck in the down position. No problems.
Finally I tried to print the test page from the Windows 8.1 64 bit OS Devices and printers page for this printer. Again no text only a black page.
At no time have I gotten any text on any pages printed. Sometimes the black page will come out with a little color. Usually green.
I read the entire User Manual, Technical Reference Manual and Service Manual. The Service Manual has one section stating you can’t replace 2 of the circuit boards at the same time because one contains information about the other so if one is replaced the other will restore its information once the new board is installed. If you try replacing both boards at the same time both boards don’t have the information about the other so neither board gets restored causing major image quality problems.
I did not remove or install any circuit boards. I only removed the straps connecting boards that I was instructed to detach using the instructions in the Service Manual.
I’m at a loss as to how to fix this and don’t know how it could have happened unless one of the circuit boards got damaged during the process. This is real annoying because these boards did not need to be exposed in the first place and were only exposed because of the unnecessary instructions to remove all the panels and covers in the Service Manual.
Any help will be greatly appreciated.

Crop effect causes error compiling movie

when we render a timeline, every time it gets to a title that has a crop effect on it - it causes the rendering in the media encoder to stop because "error compiling movie". Definately it is because of the crop effect - since when removed - everything is OK. There is enough memory, disk space... Does anyone have a solution or an idea?
Thank you.

Dear Bill,
So we figured it out how to solve it.
The problem was that this problem occurred when implementing it on track num. 30. From track 30 and higher, the crop effect causes this problem. when we took the same titles, in the same sequence and lowered it to, say, track (video track) 25 - everything rendered OK.
Have you ever encoutered such a phenomena?
Best,
Oded

Is there a way to correct the pyramind effect caused by a UWA Lens in Lightroom?

Is there a way to correct the slight inverted pyramid effect caused by a 17-40 when taking interior room shots in Lightroom or do I have to go to PhotoShop to do this? I have found the lens profile correction but are there other tools in LR to use?
What I am seeing is a slight outward shift from floor to ceiling on side walls and need to straighten these walls.
Thanks

Lee,
Found those - thanks! So, I really don't need to go to PhotoShop?
Do I need to crop after adjusting the sliders - in my case, mostly the vertical slider?
Also, can you say a little more about "Upright?" And, if you know, will LR 5 be a charged-for upgrade to LR 4?
Thanks again!

Audigy 2 ZS enabled audio effects causes unwanted noi

The following effects causes unwanted noises when i enable them:
Advanced EQ : Drumb & Bass
Environmen : ALL of them
The noises are sound like when you are searching for a TV channel... is this a hardware problem?

I can only make some educated guesses, in part because I've never used Cubase.
If you open the EAX Control Panel, and play around with it, the Master tab will show you the effects that are loaded into the Mixer/Effects DSP. You will find that the first two of these are Reverb and Chorus. You will also find that you are not allowed to remove either of these two. These are followed by a third Original Sound "effect" which you are also not allowed to remove. Additional effects can be selected and Added, which evidently loads them into Mixer/Effects DSP program memory.
I would guess that the order in which effects are loaded corresponds to the effects channel numbers in Cubase. That you're not allowed to remove Reverb and Chorus is why they would appear dedicated to channels 1 and 2. I'd guess Original Sound would be skipped in this, and that function handled in other ways in Cubase.
The Mixer/Effects DSP operates at 48kHz. ASIO tends to be a fairly low-level mapping, which is why effects would be expected to be disabled at 96kHz.

Cannot paste effects to black video!

Hello I have a question about the black video in After Effects. I was doing this tutorial:
Light Streak After Effects Tutorial - YouTube
I followed the instructions to the letter, but when I go to paste my paint effect that is on my base video onto the black video, nothing shows up. I don't know if there is some element missing that I need to turn on or off. I managed to actually see the paint once, on the black video, but when I tried to replicate it on video I actually wanted to put it on, nothing showed up.
Thanks for any help,
S.
Base video:
Black video:

There are a couple of problems with his tutorial and there is a much easier workflow. First problem is the way he tried the in and out point of the shot and slid the layer to the first frame of the comp. I would have duplicated the layer, then after the painting was completed I would have simply created a new black solid in the main comp, deleted it, selected the layer I painted on and then selected the black solid in the Project Panel and held down the Alt/Option key while dragging the black solid to the Main comp to replace the footage. Works every time and solves the in shifted in and out point problem caused by the tutorials poor technique.
To see if the real problem is timing simply create a new solid, paint on a few strokes, then move back to the timeline move to the first frame, select the Paint effect in the Effects Control Panel and copy, add a new layer, select the layer and paste.

Browse animation effects causing Bridge to freeze

Every time I select browse effects from the animation menu, Adobe Bridge launches (as expected).
When I navigate to the "Text/Blurs" folder and open it, Bridge freezes.
I know I can add an effect to my text without resorting to Bridge, but I'm following
Adobe's Classroom in a box and selecting this method to preview an effect is
causing Bridge to freeze.

Make sure your AE and your Bridge are up to date. There was a problem in earlier builds. Also, the Animation Effects previews in Bridge are resource intensive little buggers. Make sure that you have allocated an even number of MB of ram to other apps and you're not starving your system. If you only have 8 GB give 4 to other apps and 4 to AE, if you have 16 then you can give 4 to others and 12 to AE.

Software updates causes black screen on macbook

The laptop is an Apple Unibody MacBook Intel Core 2 Duo, processor - 2.4 GHz Intel Core 2 Duo. Memory - 2 GB 1067 MHz DDR3. OSX 10.9.1 Maverick.
The Macbook prompts software updates in which the macbook is supposed to restart after the software installs. I’ve received this ‘Install software’ prompt twice since I’ve had this macbook, purchased 12/16/13 delivered 12/20/13.
After each software update the macbook doesn’t restart, there’s just a black screen, but the power light is on. I’ve had to zap the pram in order to get the computer to work. The latest incident happened after the macbook prompted a Firmware update. The Firmware software installed (I thought) then there was an odd, high-pitched squeak sound and the screen went black, same as the last time. I once again tried zapping the pram, but this time I had to try it 3 times before the computer came back on.
When I check the software updates, under the title “Updates Installed in the Last 30 Days” it indicates that the Firmware did actually install on the date of the last black screen incident (Dec. 30th), BUT above the titled window “Updates installed in the Last 30 Days” is another window titled “1 Update Available” and that window contains the 2 firmwares that supposedly installed on Dec. 30th - SMC Firmware and EFI firmware. If these 2 firmwares supposedly installed on Dec.30th, why does it show that they are still available for download. I have to assume that they didn’t actually install, and that I going to have to hit the ‘update’ button to install them, but I just know that I’m going to get that black screen again. Does anyone have an answer to this problem.
I should also add that I've only used this macbook with the power cord, but the battery is losing power, it's now at 96%, from 99% when I first got the macbook.

New FCP effects causing crash

N86 theme effects cause auto rotate to lag

When theme effects are enabled on the n86, when I try to use the auto rotate feature it hangs for 5 seconds, with part of the screen covered strangley.
I heard it was fixed or at least improved at some firmware version.
I am currently using the v20.
It seems my phone operator allows to update to at most v21.
But I'm kinda reluctent to update in fear of losing the opearator installed software and settings and stuff I changed to, especielly in case something goes wrong and I have to hard reset.
The questions is, was it really fixed or improved in v21, and how safe those updates are? (Chances of failure or issues?)

You normally get improvements with software update, and it is advisable to hard reset and not to backup settings as they can cause conflict with new software (just back up contacts and calendar) but it's up to you, you should be able to get apps etc back afterwards, and theme effects will always slow down phone as they use about 3 meg of the phone memory !
If it was me I'd install the latest software I could lay my hands on, but it's not !!
Good Luck

Upgrade to Lion Causes Black Screen On MacBook Pro

I read early discussion posts on this topic and thought by now Apple would have corrected this poblem but apparently not. I updgraded my MacBook Pro last night to Lion and since last evening I have had 5 black screen (failures) and had to power off and reboot. Is there a known correction or update to this problem? It is extremely disappointing as I need my Mac for my business and cannot afford to send it to a depot for a five day repair.
This same problem was happening to me with an older OS but ONLY when I used both PowerPoint and Parallels at the same time. For this probem I took the MacBook into the Genius Bar and had to leave it there through the weekend and all day Monday. They told me after running multiple tests they found no hardware problems and the issue had to be software. The only fix was a five day depot repair. I thought I would manage by not using PowerPoint and Parallels together but now, with the Lion Upgrade it happens with ALL apps and when I simply try to read an email. Very, Very DISAPPOINTING. COME ON APPLE, DO SOMETHING ABOUT THIS. PLEASE.

Lion has been causing a lot of problems on older hardware, it killed a 4 year old 15" MBP on me.

Rendering from QT-DNxHD to other codecs causes black spots in the highlights. Causes?

Using a windows 7 pro machine, i7, 24gb ram, Nvdia GTX 570.
No other codecs that I have used have ever caused this issue. I am rendering from DVCPRO through an AE - 16 bit - rec 709 timeline to 10 bit QT-DNxHD (No problems at this point). I then edit in PP. No signs of problems at this point. From there I export via AME to AVI, H264 and Mp2 DVD. This is where it gets bad. All clipped highlights, coming from PP through AME, have black spots in them.
I have never worked with DNxHD before. I have heard good things and wanted to try it as a mastering codec. I'm sure this is not suppose to happen... am I doing something wrong?

Hey Jim, AVI is no spring chicken either....
Audio Video Interleaved (also Audio Video Interleave), known by its initials AVI, is a multimedia container format introduced by Microsoft in November 1992 as part of its Video for Windows technology.
As much as I dont care for its slow export time from PrP, QT is till a widely adopted stamdard by both consumers and professionals alike. I may have my preferences now for other workflows, but when dealing with clients and others its still the dominant and preferred wrapper of choice.

Lighting Effects renders black, or very dark.

Hi,
I have been faced with an almost identical problem listed here - http://forums.adobe.com/message/5486667#5486667
However, the solution listed has not helped me.
The only thing that changes it from complete blackness is the "Ambience" value.
I've done all software and hardware updates, reinstalled the graphics card driver, and restarted a multitude of times.
I am using:
Dell Optiplex 390
Intel(R) HD Graphics 2000
Windows 7 64 bit
Photoshop CC
No Color Management
No plug-ins, or anything other than default PS settings
If it helps, I used Lighting Effects on Photoshop CS3 and CS6 for almost two years on this machine with no problem. This was the first time I had tried to use it since I upgraded to CC. I uninstalled all other versions of PS when I upgraded, so I have not tried to replicate the problem in older versions.
I have attached screenshots for reference.

Check to see if there are any updated drivers for your card. http://support.amd.com/en-us/download
The standard advice is to get the latest driver from the Graphics card maker rather than Microsoft or your PC maker.
