Need help with PPro CS5.5 "Change Color" Effect Masks

I need to find out the best way to adjust the size and shape of the Color Correction Mask to limit the effect to a smaller area than the whole frame.  Is there a way to "edit" the mask inside Premiere Pro or is it necessary to use Photoshop to do this?  I am working with a fixed scene clip that needs minor color correction in just the lower half of the image.

You could employ the Track Matte effect technique
described step by step in this post by Ann Bens.

  • Need help with illustrator cs5

    Hi everyone.....first time on a forum and hope someone can help. I am  using illustrator cs5 on OSx snow leapard. I am  designing wings, following a demo and when I get to the part where I am supposed to use the reflect tool, I come to grief. Firstly the reflect tool dialogue box has two windows in the options part.....patterns or objects. I am supposed to be able to uncheck these but they are greyed out and not changeable. Secondly when I try to reflect my wing, using the option key to copy as well, the program appears to turn my wing over and give me a view of what would be the back of the wing, not a reflection. My fella and I have spent some considerable time trying to figure out what the issue is but to no avail...........Hope someone can help ..........Josephine Star.

    Josephine,
    In the future, please try to title your threads with something meaningful. Titles like "help" or "need help with Illustrator" or "Beginner Question" are useless. Fairly all posts are about "help with Illustrator" and about 98% of them are from beginners.
    function(){return A.apply(null,[this].concat($A(arguments)))}
    why won't my reflect tool operate properly.....we have just spent another hour trying to sort it out.
    Is your Reflect Tool not operating as shown in Illustrator's instructions (online Help)? If not, how is it behaving differently?
    Have you looked at the instructions? If not, do you not think that spending over an hour while typing posts in an online forum, waiting for answers (which are as often incorrect as correct) for every little question you may have about Illustrator is a much less time-efficient way to learn the program than reading the provided documentation?
    function(){return A.apply(null,[this].concat($A(arguments)))}
    when I try to reflect my wing, using the option key to copy as well, the program appears to turn my wing over and give me a view of what would be the back of the wing, not a reflection
    "A view of what would be the back" (i.e.; a mirror image) is what Reflect means in the context of Illustrator's Reflect tool. What did you expect different?
    Clicking with the Reflect Tool while holding alt/opt(Windows/Mac) sets the center of transformation where you click and invokes the dialog. So, for example, if the object is bilaterally symetrical about its vertical axis (like an upward-pointing triangle), and you altClick its center and then click OK in the resulting dialog, there will be no difference, because the mirror image of such a triangle reflected across a vertical axis would be identical.
    Unless it changed in CS5 (don't have it loaded on this laptop)--which I doubt, clicking Copy instead of OK in the dialog is what makes a reflected copy; not holding the alt/opt key.
    If you...
    1. Mousedown with the Reflect Tool
    2. Press and hold Alt
    3. Drag
    ...then you will reflect the object about the position where you mousedown, interactively (without invoking the dialog). While doing so, if you also add the Shift key before mouseup, the reflection will be a copy.

  • Need help with PPro & Speedgrade link - render does not match results

    Hello! My problem in a nutshell is that the color correction applied using the speedgrade link once exported does not match the preview montor results in PPro by a fairly large margin.
    Process:
    Source is AVCHD 60p 28mbps
    New sequence to PPRo
    Direct link to Speedgrade
    Color correct
    Send back to PPro
    Timeline monitor in PPRo shows correct color correction results from speedgrade
    Select and export the timeline (no extra effects added)
    Tried MFX 100 Intra, and basic h.264 150mbps MP4
    Both rendered out file with incorrect gamma, mushed colors, and missing blacks correction.
    Imported both files back into PPro and compared the source montor to the original timeline monitor and they do not match up.
    Then I tried exporting directly to a TIFF sequence, and the TIFFs render out with the correct speedgrade look...
    So something in the middle of the process in the media encoder is messing up!
    Bug probably? Anyone else experiencing this? Are you checking your output results?
    -David

    Here you go, for the h.264, which is what I normally use.
    The visible differences were for example a purple pillow in the shot has its blacks and definition, once exported the purple turns to mush, no blacks and loss of definition, like a bad gain setting.

  • Need help with links and fill color

    Hi all, I just recently discovered liveCycle and am very impressed with it! I have been trying to make myself a homework calendar for a while now, and I have it done mostly, but there are a few more things I'd like to add that I don't know how to do.
    I have some HTML and Java experience, but very little XML or JavaScript experience. I have a feeling that what I am trying to do is relatively simple, but I just can't figure it out! I have spent hours pouring over Google and the help files, and I feel like I have gotten close, but no joy yet.
    I have attached my calendar so far (truncated to fit 5MB max attachment size). I'd like it to do two more things:
    1. Have the background color of the table cells change from white to green when the check box is checked.
    (Alternately, I'd really like to get rid of the check boxes all thogether and just have the background of the table cells turn green with a keyboard shortcut, like "ctrl + D" for 'done'. But if that isn't possible, then the color change with the check box is fine.)
    2. I'd like the button called 'WORD DOC' in the upper right of the form to open a word document on my local computer. Where I just push that button and a work doc opens right up in Word in another window.
    I was able to get .PDF documents to open up with those other two buttons there ('Big Java' and 'Beginning Java II') by adding the script
    app.openDoc("Big Java.pdf");
    and
    app.openDoc("Beginning Java II.pdf");
    to each of the buttons respectively, but those PDFs need to be in the same folder as the calendar for that to work. I tried just altering that script by replacing the name of the PDF file with the name of a Word doc file like this:
    app.openDoc("test.docx");
    but the button doesn’t work at all, it just does nothing.
    So that’s what I am trying to do. I have spent hours messing around with anything I could think of to get this to work, but unfortunately I just don’t know the language well enough to get it to work.
    I would really appreciate any advice on this at all. Thank you very much for your consideration.

    Hi,
    Thanks very much for your response! I was able to use the code to make the box turn green by adding that script to the 'click' event of textbox and changing the language from FormCalc to JavaScript. So what happened was that when I clicked in the textbox, the color turned green.
    I couln't firgure out how to add it to the checkbox though. When I tried, it didn't do anything. The problem now is that when I click in the textbox to add my homework, it turns green. I need it to turn green once I finish my homework.
    This would work great if the texbox turned green when I SHIFT clicked the box. Is there anything I could add to that scipt to do that?

  • Need help with PS CS5 crashing while openinng specific document!

    Good morning all, I am the network admin at my company, and i have a user expereicneing a strange issue.  I do not know much about PS, other than how to install it, so i am at a loss to troublshoot this issue.  Any help would be greatly appreciated.
    Background: Computer is a Dell Precision 690 with 4GB RAM, running windows 7 pro x64 with SP1 (this was happening before SP1 was applied as well). Video card is nVidia Quadro NVS 285 .  I have fully updated and patched everything i can find, including using the most up to date, and "performance" drivers from nVidia (neither driver solved the problem) for the video card.  I could not find a partner certified driver for this partticular card.  The software is Photoshop CS5 version Version: 12.0.3 (12.0.3x20101211 [20101211.r.1222 2010/12/11:02:00:00 cutoff; r branch]) x64.
    I have another user, with the exact same computer, and exact same software (they were made form the same image) whom does not have this problem.
    The issue:  Basically, when opening this one particular image (from the users desktop) PS crashes and throws up the following error.  Sometimes it will actually display the image, then crash as soon as you try to even so much as click anywhere on the image.  Other times it conks out before the image is even displayed.

    My user says there is nothing fancy or odd about this image, and the filesize wasn't any bigger than anything else he works on.  What really baffles me is that the other user with the same setup has no issue...  Thanks in advance!
    -Jim

    Since CoolType is implicated, it seems likely that user has installed a font that throws Photoshop for a loop.  The recourse in that case is to try to figure out which one it is and remove it from the system (and/or reinstall an un-corrupted copy of that font).
    Some tricks to try to figure out which font it is:
    1.  Look in the document that's failing to open with the other user's copy of Photoshop.  See what fonts are there.
    2.  Create a new document on the offending machine, invoke the Horizontal Type Tool, then open the font list.  You might find the list stops abruptly before the offending font.
    3.  Remove all fonts except the Windows standard ones, see if the problem goes away, then add them back piecemeal until the problem recurs.
    If the above doesn't get you success, another thing to think about when a problem is user-specific:   You might reset their Photoshop preferences to out-of-box defaults.  To do that you press and hold Control-Shift-Alt immediately after starting Photoshop from its menu entry or shortcut.  You have to be very quick, and if you do get its attention it will prompt and ask whether the preferences should be reset.  Keep in mind some Photoshop reconfiguration will need to happen after you do this, so it's not something to do lightly or you might get your users upset at you.
    Best of luck.

  • I need help with my CS5 installation

    My CS5 installed normally as usual, but once it was done it was telling me that there was an error in installing, told me to restart and proceed with the installation again.
    I did it twice, and now it seems to work but it gave me the same error.
    I opened the program and it's telling me that,"Photoshop has encountered a problem with the display driver, and has temporarily disabled the GPU enhancements. Check the video card manufacturer's website for the latest software."
    I did an update search on my computer for that specific driver and apparently it's up to date. I also read on a forum that I needed to download Adobe Driver. But, unfortunately it's saying the same thing that CS5 said after the installation, to restart and continue with the installation.
    Help?

    if you're encountering multiple different error messages,
    1. uninstall cs5,
    2. run the cleaner,
    3. update your video driver (go to your video card's manufacturer website),
    4. restart your computer (http://www.adobe.com/support/contact/cscleanertool.html) and then
    5. reinstall cs5.

  • I need help with cutting and changing an already made song in garage band on the IPad.

    For a school pep rally I'm looking to write some music on drums that our drumline will perform in the pep rally. In the song although I'm looking on taking a few measures out of the song "Some Nights" by Fun. and putting it during a long rest we'll have for a really good effect on the song. To do this I saw that garage band had a sampler where I could cut music and play those cuts instantly with a touch of a button, and I was hoping that it would be possible that I could buy the song and some how import it to garage band so that I could play around with it a little bit.
    I've still yet to find any way of doing this although and I'm looking for any suggestions you guys might have! The pep rally isn't for a good 3 or four weeks so I've got a good amount of time, But the sooner anyone can help the better!
                                                           Thanks for your time!
                                                                          Matt

    This is a poor way of doing this but the only way I found to do this is to record your music into the sampler using the microphone then record the sample. I don't like doing this because of clarity and lack of manipulating the track once created. It would be nice if GB added this feature. Also it would be cool if you could mix down the tracks into one so we could have more tracks to work with.

  • HELP I Need Help With Photoshop CS5

    I have CS% for school. I have Photoshop 64 bit. Every time I open Photoshop to do an assignment it crashes. I have talked to other people who are experiencing the same thing with 64 bit. Everyone I have spoken to with 32 bit seems to be doing fine. Anyone else having that problem? Is there a way to go from 64 bit to 32 bit only in Photoshop. All other parts of CS5 work fine with the 64 bit. HELP PLEASE!!! email me at [email protected]

  • Need help with Emu 0404 and DSP Effects

    Hi,
    This might be a bit of a noob question, but I'm completely new to the world of recording and effects. I have the Emu 0404 PCI soundcard and I'm trying to record sth with the DSP effects. I used the standard settings with ASIO send (PCI Card in L) and added effects, but when I use a recording program only the clean signal is recorded. I tried moving the send insert at the end of the list, but that didn't help. So how can I record sth with the DSP effects? I couldn't really find anythinguseful in the help file.

  • Need Help with "Channels" CS5

    I am learning about using channels as a mean of channel masking in CS5.  The instructor on a dvd starts with a general understanding of channels.  Within the first 2 minutes, I can't seem to replicate his instructions.
    Here are steps I take to look at the individual channels Red, Green, Blue.
    I invoke "Channels" in my layers palette. What appears is the RGB, Red, Green, Blue Channels (with the eyeball showing in each of the individual channels).
    The instructor says to click on each of the channel and you will see the appropriate a tone map of each individual channels.
    When I click onm lets say the red channel, nothing happens ... all of the layer eyeballs are still on and I get no individual tone map.  If I deselect all of the eyeballs, then I can get the individual channel tone maps.
    I suppose that the instructor is using a short cut key to invoke each individual channel tone map, but he doesn't explain it.
    Does anyone have an idea how to get an individual tone map directly after opening up the channels palette, without having to mannually remove each eyeball.

    Click on the channel thumbnails themselves, not the eyes.
    The keyboard shortcuts are shown to the right beside each channel in the channels panel.
    (they are different shortcuts than below, which is cs3, but your channels panel should show the ones for cs5)
    Do you have any adjustment layers or layer masks in your layers panel?
