Pixel-polly in CS 5.5

What has happened to pixel-polly in CS5.5?
This may be well trodden ground but searches of this forum do not turn up hits on pixel polly.
Google searchs seem to revolve around lots of non-english hits for the nefarious download sites that offer stuff and then try to trap you into signing up for some near illegal service.
So is there some replacement effect in 5.5? or is there some way to add pixel-polly to CS 5.5.
A legitimate download (pay if necessary) for pixel-polly plugin would be appreciated if it is not offered by adobe in some way.

Thanks for the link, but also it turns out you can get pixel-polly and lots of other nice stuff for free download at the CycoreFX site.
So for any other folks using the trial here is the link:

  • AE CS4 Plug in Pixel Polly-Not in AE

    Okay I have seen 2 posts similar to this.
    I have just started using AE CS4. and I am on my third tutorial of choice, but this is the second time I have run into
    needing a plug in that I thought was supposed to be in the program(app).
    I cannot locate the proper one.I find them for CS5 CS 7 and up??
    any idea what bundle,name,brand of this CC Pixel Polly is and where how to get it installed?
    I did find version for cs5 and cs7 for pixel polly but the former doesnt work in cs4. (stuck ,again)

    Although if you're just starting AE and your third tutorial is using Pixel Poly, you're jumping in too deep, too fast. Start here.

  • Once more on pixel polly [ the cross-hair]

    I see a green crosshair when I use pixel polly from CycoreFX.
    I'm running AE 5.5 trial (I have both CS4 and CS5 paid versions), I don't recall seeing this green crosshair visible on the timeline where I've used pixel-polly effect
    You can see it in the image.  It dissappears if I click the FX button on the layer, so I know it is being produced by that effect.
    I want to know if this is normal? ... I haven't used pixel polly for a good long while but don't recall seeing this before.
    Perhaps it is only the CycoreFX download version that displays it?
    But it seems a bit perculiar to stick in something that doesn't seem to be consistent with the effect.
    I tried zeroing each setting in turn to see if it would go away but does not seem to be effected by any of the settings, unless something I haven't noticed to test yet.
    This image was grabbed  (in the comp window)  just a frame or two into a pixel polly type explossion.  Note the green cross-hair type lines. And that they are not quite perpendicular.

    As Rick says, you've downloaded CycoreFX HD, which must be purchased to eliminate the demo watermark.  When you purchase After Effects the versions of Cycore FX that are included are automatically licensed and will not have a watermark.
    Take note that After Effects CS6, available in the next few months, will include the full Cycore FX HD bundle.  So now is not a good time to buy Cycore FX.

  • No puedo visualizar algunos efectos

    Hola gente del foro, oigan tengo un problema trabajando con AE, resulta que no veo la progrecion de algunos de los effectos predeterminados, en este caso CC Pixel Polly aplicado sobr una imagen. No tengo idea del por que no pueda visulizarlo pero simplemente al momento de agregarlo a mi capa no se ve nada en el visualizador. Tengo la ligera sospecha de que pueda deberse a mi trajeta de video, pues la maquina en la que trabajo es una McBook me parece que de tercera o cuarta generación, de cuado todevia salieron con el case negro. Un problema similar me sucede con Photoshop al tratar de hacer objetos y texto 3D, me dice la tarjeta de vido no es apta para plicar el 3D sobre hardware o algo asi. Espero poueda alguien ayudarme. gracias

  • Mid-2010 Macbook Pro Screen Flicker Pixel Seizure

    Not sure how else to describe the problem, but I hope the title helps!
    I have a mid-2010 15" MacBook Pro. I noticed in the last month or so, my screen would flicker. But not the entire screen. Just certain areas, like the pixels would jump/lag, as if it it would jump to the correct position. I don't know what's the word for it: glitter, pixel, flicker, seizure. I mean, that what it looks like. It actually hurts my eyes.
    I don't know what could be the problem or if anyone knows what's going on. It's just certain pixels (random on the screen, but usually right in the middle) that get "stuck" and half a second later, jump. Not sure what the proper word is, but if anyone could identify it, that'll be great.
    Safari, Chrome, and Word are the applications I use, and I've seen it all three programs. It's becoming a lot more noticeable and frequent now, especially if I switch programs or if I'm loading a new page.
    The MBP is a tank, but I've been considering buying a new MacBook, preferably the Air, until this MBP kicks it, so if anyone has estimation on its shelf life, that'll be great (My 2005 Powerbook G4 barely made it through 4 years!). The warranty on the MBP just expired last year.
    Thanks in advance, I appreciate any insight on the issue.

    Curiously, I don't have that option. It only gives me the option to disable Automatic graphics switching where it should give the better battery life or higher performance options. Do I have something disabled that gets rid of that option? It's the same under the Battery or Power Adapter options.
    I'm going to take it to a genius but I'm wondering from reading other forums that maybe one of my RAM slots is bad. I want to have a play but will the genius know if I've opened it up and then possibly refuse it? If it is bad RAM then I can fix that myself without having to travel 70 miles to my nearest Apple Store. Is there a seal that I would break that would give away the fact that I've opened it up?
    Thanks for the advice so far.

  • Edit and output video without modifying any pixels?

    That subject line sounds cryptic, I'm sure, but I need to assemble numerous snippets of animated pixel art into what should become a somewhat lengthy animation. Final Cut should perform no internal resizing and no compression prior to output; all input files are 240x160 without exception. Stills are PNG to take advantage of the Alpha channel, but the animated clips are uncompressed QuickTime with a single, unique RGB value reserved for the background for chroma-keying (all layering is to be all-or-nothing with regard to the Alpha/keying; there is no partial transparency at play).
    All I need is to compile these clips together, layer a few elements on top of each other, and tweak the timing here and there. Beyond that, Final Cut should leave everything exactly like it found it, down to the pixel. (I'll worry about the output format and compression later.)
    Is this possible (and easy) in Final Cut Express? In my disastrous trials with Adobe Premiere Elements (v.1), Premiere insisted on internally resizing the clips for editing, which fuzzed up the images and defeated the chroma keying (as if the fuzziness wasn't bothersome enough). It's possible this was due to user error, but as far as I can tell, nothing can prevent Premiere from reprocessing everything into its native DV dimensions, which is quite destructive toward pixel art. Anyway, I'm frustrated enough with Premiere that I'm willing to purchase Final Cut, if it can meet these requirements easily.
    Thanks much for any information you can provide. Oh, and if Final Cut could possibly output the entire sequence as an animated GIF, that'd be fantastic, but I tend to think it'd be a little too heavy-handed (even though my total palette is well below 256 colors) because it's used to crunching fancy true-color videos instead of this basic pixel art.

    After some further research, it seems my best approach for this project will be to compose my small QuickTime clips with all layering done beforehand, then assemble them with a utility such as QuickTime Pro or MPEG Streamclip, as discussed here:
    http://discussions.apple.com/thread.jspa?messageID=7813920&#7813920
    MPEG Streamclip, in fact, seems to work quite well in my initial tests. If the clips are numbered sequentially, dropping them into the application assembles them beautifully. And it's free!
    Thanks again to those who replied.

  • Can you temporarily overexpose a pixel in ACR?

    I was working on some images the other day when it occurred to me that I was influencing some of the pixels brightness in several different ways: using the Exposure slider, the Recovery slider, using an exposure Gradient, using the Adjustment Brush, etc., each one making some exposure compensation.
    I assume the order in which the controls are laid out doesn't necessarily represent the order the different controls' process settings are applied, but what started to worry me was a scenario in which one setting pushed exposure over 100% (i.e. clipped) before another brought it back down again (still clipped).
    So, what I'm trying to ask is: is there a combination of exposure settings to avoid? For example, is it a bad idea to boost the exposure in the basic panel only to reduce it again with a gradient - or would it be better to use a negative gradient instead? That's just one example; are there any other potential pitfalls with different combinations, or does ACR work around this problem with some clever jiggerypokery?

    The preview image is re-rendered using the entire combination of settings every time you move a control.
    If you move one control (e.g. Exposure) and that leads to a block of pixels being "whited-out", then you move another control (e.g., Recovery) that undoes that condition, then you haven't "overexposed" anything.
    Move the controls around freely until you like what you see in the preview and histogram, then press Open or Save.  It's really as simple as that.

  • How do I find the pixel size of a photo?

    I have taken a photo or found one online.
    It's now on my ipad.
    How do I tell the pixel resoution of the photo via the ipad?
    I have two of the same photos on my device at the moment and want to delete one.  They may both be 2048/2048, but without emailing them or putting them in Dropbox, and viewing on my laptop, I don't see how to tell.

    Get the Actual Pixels App from the App Store. It's free and will tell you the pixel size of any photo you open.

  • IMAQ Resample performanc​e. Any better choice for 50% downsample​? (average 2x2 - 1 pixel)

    My video source is a 4 Mpixel (2k x 2k resolution) USB3 camera. This is displaying a live image OK in Labview at 45 fps using only 20% CPU.  So far, so good.
    I added a "IMAQ Resample" block to downsize this to 1024 x 1024 image. That works with almost no additional processing time if I select "Zero Order" interpolation (eg. plain subsample to value of nearest pixel). However, I want to average each 2x2 block (4 pixels) in the input image into 1 output pixel. I *think* that is the effect of selecting Bi-Linear interpolation. Doing that works, but takes about 45% of CPU.  I want to do some other processing but am worried I will quickly run out of CPU time and start dropping frames.
    Is there any better way to do this simple 50% downsize (2x2 average), that would take less CPU overhead, or is this the best way?

    Hi jbeale1,
    In NI-MAX (Measurement & Automation Explorer) select your camera. Under the  'Acquistion Attributes' tab do you see an option to change the Video Mode of your camera to a different resolution? If your camera supports it, it would be more efficient to change the resolution there.
    If not , here is a little more info regarding the IMAQ Resample VI:
    http://zone.ni.com/reference/en-XX/help/370281P-01​/imaqvision/imaq_resample/
    You are correct, the Bi-Linear option uses a more intensive interpolation technique which is why it is more taxing on your CPU. I hope this is helpful.

  • Crazy purple pixels cant tell if hardware or software.

    just out of nowhere pixels on my screen turn purple. when im watching somthing with video you can really see how the pixels bounce around (lines, blurryness). i archived and installed, same issue. it just seems to turn whole shapes purple somtimes. Like when i start up the apple logo is purple....
    should i try erase and install?
    i think its the video card. there is no damage to the LCD at all.
    if i take a screenshot and veiw the screenshot on another computer and it looks the same, that means it is somthing internal and not the actual lcd right?
    im really worried, never had any troubles with my baby before.

    Theo, Welcome to the discussion area!
    Boot from the Apple Hardware Test disc and see what the test results are.

  • Pixelated Line Art in Photo Gallery

    Hi
    I am designing a photo gallery that externally loads jpegs
    via XML. I have an actionscript that allows the jpegs to randomly
    rotate at an angle as they load onto the stage. The jpegs contain
    mostly logos that are line art. It works great but the images are
    pixelated when they are at an angle since they are logos/line art.
    I can't seem to find a solution to solve this pixelation problem. I
    tried loading gif files instead but for some reason gifs does not
    load correctly.
    Any ideas? Thanks!

    Hi dzedward
    Thanks for your reply. I attempted to create an
    emptyMovieClip and applied cacheAsBitmap in context of the
    actionScipt that already exist in the file. I tried to follow the
    examples in the Flash 8 documentation but failed. The photo gallery
    I am editing from can be downloaded here:

  • New T530 with dead / unresponsi​ve pixel in upper middle of screen

    I have one dead or unresponsive pixel in the upper middle part of the screen. It is stuck in red color. It is very difficult to ignore  this red dot and it is very annoying to use my machine with this red dot on the screen. What can I do? 
    I ordered my T530 on July 27th and received it on Aug 20th. I've used it for two days and used UDpixel or similar online tools in attempt to unstuck this red pixel. The pixel is still stuck in red. What can I do about this? Need help. I need to use my  laptop for school.

  • Video pixel ratio in Adobe Bridge CS3

    How do I get the video Pixel Ratio to show in Bridge CS3? I went to preference and it is already checked. But, I can't seem to figure out how it show in the metadata tab. Thanks for your help.

    In the Find box the Match drop down has 2 options. "If all criteria is met" is like "and" while "if any criteria met" is like "or" logic.

  • After importing a Light Room catalog, the files I export, export smaller than the originals - with every option of file ending.  I want to export them as DNGs but the files are reduced from around 5000 pixels to about 1700 pixels in length.

    Hi All ~ Thanks in advance for your help! 
    I have been on a support chat with Adobe for 2 hours now and they can't figure this out but hopefully one of you can! 
    I exported my files as a LightRoom Catalog
    I zipped the catalog and the smart previews together
    I sent the zipped folder via Dropbox to a photo editor
    Editor edited the photos
    Editor exported the files as a Lightroom Catalog and zipped them
    Editor sent the LR Catalog back to me via Dropbox
    I opened the Lightroom Catalog in LR (the pixel dimensions are the same as the originals)
    I exported the photos as DNG's (which does not allow for any file size changes - I also tried JPGs and the same thing happened)
         Camera Raw 7.1 and later (I tried them all just to see - and they all rendered the same result)
         Embed Fast Load Data (checked on)
         Embed Original Raw File (check on)
    I checked the Pixel dimensions on my exported photos and they are smaller
    The original pixel dimensions are:
    4912x7360 and the new size (after exporting) is: 1709x2560
    But here's the real kicker!  WHEN I UPLOAD A PHOTO TO LIGHTROOM FROM MY COMPUTER DIRECTLY (not from a LR catalog), AND EXPORT THAT FILE, IT EXPORTS AT FULL SIZE with no change in the pixels dimensions!

  • Could I have some help identifying and fixing dead/stuck/hot pixel?

    Hello, yesterday whilst watching a movie on my Macbook Pro I noticed something on my screen, at first I thought it was just something stuck on the screen but it seems to be an issue with a pixel. I would appreciate help regarding identifying if it's a dead, stuck or hot pixel and any ways of fixing it. It seems to be smaller than what I had previously experienced (on other machines) dead/hot/stuck pixels to be and I can't really tell if it's white or a light blue. It doesn't show up on any colour other than greys and blacks.
    Also, is it likely that taking it to an apple store will yield results if it's still in warranty and I explain that as a photographer it's a very annoying thing to have on almost the centre of the screen.
    I hope you guys can provide me with some help, it will be much appreciated.
    Stefano.

    Welcome to the Apple Support Communities
    That's a dead pixel or it may be dust, too. In both cases, as your computer is in warranty, take it to an Apple Store or reseller and you should get the display replaced for free, even if it's only one pixel.
    I wouldn't be surprised if that's dust. I have seen a lot of cases related to dust in this forum, but it has got the same solution as the dead pixel
