Place an Effect on part of a live group

Hey all! I'm having an issue I was hoping to find help with.
I have two parallel lines that I have an effect applied to (zig zag). These lines intersect with two straight parallel lines. I need to paint the box they create. I selected all my lines and created a live group and when I go to paint I get a warning message. All complex visual effects (zig zag) will be removed in order to use live paint. So I figure, 'ok, I'll apply the affect afterwards.'t I only need the zig zag on 2 of the 4 lines, but no matter what I try, once they are a part of that live paint group the effect will apply itself to all four lines. Is there some way that I'm missing? The only thing I can think of at this point it to use the pen tool and to create a line with 100+ tight curves, but that will be extremely time consuming and won't come out as clean and nice looking as the zig zag effect.
Thanks for any help you guys can give!

Select the zig zag lines. Choose Object > Expand Appearance... then proceed with Live Paint and what you were trying.
You have to make the effect permanent in order to keep the appearance and use Live Paint.

Image Splicing Effect Challenge (Part 1)

I ran across a neat image effect on this image:
Rock In Rio
Thought it might be neat to see how different people in the forums would go about doing this...
Anyhow. Looking forward to your ideas. Take care.

Where is a good place / to locate a parts breakdown and parts for a HP C5180, All-in-one photosmart.

Where is a good place to locate a parts breakdown schematic and parts that can be ordered for an HP C5180.
I have a bad end on the flat black cable that runs between the main board and the display. I believe it to be part # Q8211-80155.
I would appreciate any insight, Thanks!

A device which is not part of this management group has attempted to access this Health Service.

Has anyone found an answer to this yet? I have uninstalled/reinstalled the agents both manually and through the push. Rebooted the client, rebooted the sce server. Forced the group policy to reapply, forced the health agent to /reportnow and I still get the error. The client shows up under the agent managed section but under the health state column it shows not monitored. The clients can ping the SCE server by FQDN and RDP to it as well so name resolution is working fine.

Hey Nathan,
Yea I have sent the script to eveyone that has aked for it. I dont know if its helped anybody else as none has given me any feedback either way.
I guess I can post it here for everyone to use.
Please keep in mind that if you use this script from MS its at your own risk, If your DB blows up, massive catastrophic failure ensues and so forth ITS YOUR OWN FAULT. MAKE SURE YOU HAVE GOOD BACKUPS
Step 1) Run this against your SCE 2007 DB
DECLARE @BaseManagedEntityInternalId int
DECLARE @BaseManagedEntityId uniqueidentifier
DECLARE @ViewName sysname
DECLARE @Statement nvarchar(max)
SET @BaseManagedEntityInternalId = 0
WHILE EXISTS (SELECT * FROM BaseManagedEntity WHERE (BaseManagedEntityInternalId >
@BaseManagedEntityInternalId))
BEGIN
SELECT TOP 1
@BaseManagedEntityInternalId = bme.BaseManagedEntityInternalId
,@BaseManagedEntityId = bme.BaseManagedEntityId
,@ViewName = met.ManagedTypeViewName
FROM BaseManagedEntity bme
JOIN ManagedType met ON (bme.BaseManagedTypeId = met.ManagedTypeId)
WHERE (bme.BaseManagedEntityInternalId > @BaseManagedEntityInternalId)
AND (bme.IsDeleted = 0)
ORDER BY BaseManagedEntityInternalId
SELECT @Statement = 'IF NOT EXISTS (SELECT * FROM ' + QUOTENAME(@ViewName) + '
WHERE BaseManagedEntityId = ''' + CAST(@BaseManagedEntityId AS varchar(50)) + ''')
PRINT ''' + CAST(@BaseManagedEntityId AS varchar(50)) + ' ' + @ViewName + ''''
EXECUTE(@Statement)
END
STEP 2)
If your problem was the same a mine you should get some GUID’s returned. (For example 93790c0B-09C4-3A4D-CE72-F4E3Dd917D78 MTV_DeploymentSettings)
Using the GUID that we got in the output file
Execute the below given query:
==========================
select fullname
from basemanagedentity
where basemanagedentityid = ‘<GUID>’
==========================
Verify that the device or the object mentioned in the above output is not displayed in Operations console.
Only in case if the object is not displayed then use the below given query to delete it from database.
==========================
update basemanagedentity
set isdeleted = 1
where basemanagedentityid = ‘<GUID>’
==========================
Before executing the above query please ensure that you have the backup of the database. Also note that you need to run the above said query only incase if you do not see the object in the Operations console.
After executing this query, run this stored procedure:
==========================
exec p_Detectandfixinstancespaceinconsistencies
==========================
Once it is done:
> Stop all the three OpsMgr services: health, Config and SDK on Management Server
> Cleared the health service state folder.
> Start all the three OpsMgr services: SDK, Config, and health on Management Server.
> Wait for 30 minutes and see if the agents start getting monitored.
I hope this helps everyone

TS3274 I am getting the error message "you are not a part of the administrator group". How do I get rid of this

I am getting the error message "you are not a part of the administrator group" when I try and set up my ipad and log in with my apple id. How can I bypass this error message?

Firstly, I recommend to go to Central Administration > Security > Manage the farm administrators group > make sure that your account is listed.
Yes, the account that I log into the server is a Farm Admin account
Secondly, did you do the backup or restore operations with PowerShell command or through Central Administration?
Used to be able to do it thru the CA, now I'm running PowerShell and using the scheduled tasks to run it when needed.
If you are using PowerShell, I recommend to run SharePoint Management Shell as administrator.
I'm able to run the backup with the account that is in the Farm Admin group. as I have that setup as the PowerShell account to run under.
If you are using Central Administration, I recommend to run Internet Explorer as administrator.
I still get this error when I run IE as the log in to the server who is in the build in and the SPS Farm Admin Security group:
You are not a local administrator. You must be a member of the Administrators group on the server that is running Central Administration to perform most backup and restore operations.

Checking to see if the current User is part of the "Administrator Group"

I am writing an installer for my program - in java - that basically just executes a .jar file. In the past, my software had a disclaimer that just tells the user to make sure that they are an administrator before installing - but we are not currently enforcing that.
So my task is to develop a snippet of code that returns a boolean (true if the user has privileges, false if the user does not). Essentially checking to see if the user is part of the Administrators Group in windows. I created a creative solution for the Unix side of this problem, checking the root group, and some path names for root... but I am stumped on the Windows side of things. I KNOW there is a solution in C, in fact I have already created it (it involves a simple import of windows.h and a static variable check), but I would like a java solution instead.
I have researched a bit in the java.security API and the JNI interface for executing my C code in java... but I would like to post here in case there is a simpler solution that I may be overlooking. The windows platform is XP for the most part, but possibly Vista as well.
Thanks in advance for your replies, and sorry if this is a double-post, I tried searching beforehand.

i found out that the fsutil command will not run correctly you are not a local administrator it gives the error message "The FSUTIL utility requires that you have administrative privileges.", right now i am using some string manipulation to try and catch this - another good command line option is net localgroups Administrataor

After Effects 8.0.2 is live, as is a new version of the Help document.

The After Effects 8.0.2 update is live, and so is the new After Effects CS3 Help on the Web. To get the update, choose Help > Updates. To see all of what has changed, see the ReadMe document:
http://kb.adobe.com/selfservice/viewContent.do?externalId=kb403043
Here's a link to After Effects Help on the Web, in case you forgot:
http://livedocs.adobe.com/en_US/AfterEffects/8.0/
And here's a link to the page from which you can download a PDF copy of the Help document:
http://www.adobe.com/support/documentation/en/aftereffects/
Beyond the additions to Help for P2 functionality, we made several hundred changes to the document for this version, most of which fall into two categories:
- We fixed a lot of little errors and clarified explanations based on feedback in LiveDocs comments and feedback from the LiveDocs survey.
- We added a lot of links from Help to external resources.
One of the things that we heard from last quarter's survey was that After Effects documentation is incomplete (but accurate, yay!). One very fast way to fill some gaps is to point users to the example projects, tutorials, and other materials that people like you create and publish. Some of you have been adding LiveDocs comments to Help on the Web that point to these great materials. We've incorporated many of those links---plus a great many more---in the parts of Help where we thought that these external materials could help the user. We intend to do much more of this if you tell us that you find it valuable.
Also, there are a lot of extensions to After Effects (some free, some not) that make After Effects work better. We also point to some of those. How did we pick which ones to point to? In part, we went by what we were being told in LiveDocs comments and on forums. If you don't see a mention of a plug-in, script, or other tool that you think is great, tell us through the LiveDocs comments in Help on the Web.
So, thank you to all of the people and organizations whose instructional material and software we now point to from After Effects Help or whose LiveDocs comments have led to substantial improvements:

Can anybody confirm that this update works with the trial version as well?
I am using the CS3 trial right now, i was able to download and install the 8.02-patch but AE behaves exactly the same as before, p2-footage(mxf/xml-files) is not recognized as a valid format!
Can anybody help me on this?
Id really like to test this until my trial expires in 5 days...this workflow with native p2 and AAF import is really important to my workflow..whis will make my decission over upgrading to CS3 or not..so please help!
hvxgermanboy
p.s.if somebody of the Adobe-team is listening: will there be a new AE CS3-trial that comes directly with the 8.02 version?

Matching part of a live-action footage with 3d perspective

Hi!, just a simple trouble... hope so...
I have a live-action footage showing the stage of a theater from the stage perspective. The stage has two parts, one lower than the other. The footage has no movement, the only thing i need to do is moving up the lower level, to match the upper level. I've been trying to do it just by 'eyeballing it". I duplicated the layer, mask the lower level, activated the 3d box in the layer, and tried to make the effect just by make keyframes and combining position and x rotation. But i just painful.. i just dont get it...
link http://www.freeimagehosting.net/image.php?6ff086661b.jpg

Hi Craig, i've been trying to shift up the layer, with a mask, the problem i'm having is that doesnt match the perspective of the frame, and when i try to softly rotate the layer as is goes up, its just doesnt look real. The idea is make a bigger bottom layer by precomposing and painting/cloning/stretching, so when its moved on 3d near to the horizon line i still have visible floor, thanxs anyway?

DC-in /Best place to buy replacement parts?

I am still using my powerbook G4, the male part of the plug got stuck in the input , it will cost too much to have apple fix it, so my brother (who is a computer science grad) is going to fix it for me, where is the best place to buy the dc-in part? or any parts? Also I figure now is a good time to replace the battery which has not been working for a year or so, any suggestions??
Thanks in advance!

~carly~
Try OWC ... they are a very reliable Mac supplier. I have purchased batteries, memory, etc. without any problems

another source for parts is iFixit ..... good rep, but no personal experience.

Photo Recall Effect -- Changing Part of Screen Captured

Everything I've tried moves the photo around the screen, but doesn't change what part of the screen appears in the photo. I couldn't find instructions for this in the FCP PDF manual. Does anyone know how to do this? Am I supposed to crop the scene first and then apply the effect or something? Thank you.

There are two styles in Photo Recall: 1) Classic in which the entire storyline is scaled down to fit inside the picture frame; and 2) Instant in which a small portion of the center of the storyline is fit inside a "polaroid" style frame.
In order to do what you want requires modifications in Motion...
After nosing around for a couple of minutes, I realized that those modifications would be too difficult to explain here, so I did them myself and you can download the replacement here:
http://sight-creations.com/fxexchange/PhotoRecallEnhanced.zip
It's the exact (almost*) same with the following additions:
The ability to Rotate the "photo" (the whole "effect")
The ability to offset the image within the photo by X (Img X Offset) and Y (Img Y Offset)
The ability to relatively Scale (this is an offset from the original Scale parameter) the Image within the frame (-50% to 100% parameter setting - actual scale is not easily calculable because there is a difference between the Scaling of the Classic as opposed to the Instant built into the effect [~51% vs ~79%]).
The ability to Rotate the image inside the photo frame (this is a separate rotation than the photo rotation) from -180° to 180° (if you want more - you'll need to modify this in Motion -- you'll find the parameter settings in the Img Rotation Rig Widget.)
*I had to replace the "Simple Border" filter applied to the "Classic" inset with two Rectangle shapes: one as an outline for the border and one to create a Mask so that the photo could be maneuvered inside the frame. This keeps this variation of the Effect from being exactly the same as the original. If you don't like the "border" width, or you would like to add that as a parameter for the Effect, you can do so in Motion.
Hope this helps you out.

Reclaiming a stroke after making it part of a live paint object

The "s" in the screenshot below was a path filled with black. I had the lineart done by and artist and then I go in and fill the color, so I'm 99.9% this description is correct. I filled it using livepaint. It's now a livepaint object... I need to go in and correct my blacks (to rich black, this is a CMYK doc -- I have another thread about that, LOL). Now, when I select the path that contains the black, if I try to change it's fill to the proper black, it fills the entire object with that color. I just need to change the area within the yellow path you see below and NOT the light blue area... It seems that once it converted to livepaint, I lost the ability to change the fill within the yellow path (which is just the outline of a stroke of black, for lack of a better description. It looks like a stroke, but it's a fill or WAS a fill before it became a livepaint object. Anyone know how I can change just the black part? Thanks.

Fill it with the live paint bucket selecting the rich black swatch first.
If it is pat of a live paint group that is what the paint bucket is for otherwise with the selection tool, the black arrow double click on it to enter isolation mode and now fill it or select as you have and from the layers panel drop down select isolation mode and now fill it.
Or select it and only it and go to Edit>Edit Colors>Recolor Art and select the new color area and add a new color and select the rich black swatch.

Premier Pro deletes denoiser effect on part of audio on video when exporting

I am working with a project that has really bad audio. I have edited and used many noise removal tools in Adobe Audition CC and Premier Pro CS6 (Noise remover, EQ, and Denoiser) which had removed the majority of the noise on the audio. However, after exporting this project and playing it in Quicktime, Premier has seemed to discarded these noise removal effects in the first 5 seconds of the video.
To try and resolve this, I cut up the first 5 seconds and applied an additional denoiser effect to see if this would help. However it did not, and Premier completely disregarded all of the sound removal in all of the exported clip.
Does anyone know why it is doing this and how I can resolve this?

I would like to second this.
I used noise removal. My video is multiple different interviews. There are 5 cuts, to five different audio/video clips, each with noise removal effect on them. but, Only on 2 of the cuts, in the final export, for 3 seconds, the noise removal effect seems to "not work" when the clip starts, then it kicks on gently for the remained of the clip. (similar to what Khalil Jammal said, which is why I'm posting this.
Again, the noise removal fails to "start" only on SOME of the cuts/clips in the final export. It kicks on after about 2 or 3 seconds.
This is odd...it's as if the noise removal effect is having trouble communicating with the final export render. I don't get it. For now, i will have to go back to my "old way" of exporting the audio, cleaning it up in my DAW, then importing it back into Premiere.
This is also annoying as I am paying like, $30 a month for Premiere. This does not seem like something we should have to "work around", but rather, Adobe should fix this issue.

Glow effect as part of conditional action

I have a glow effect that is one of the decision blocks of an advanced action. After the object glows, I would like it to stop glowing and return to it's normal state. Is that possible?

Hi Jay,
I guess you are trying ApplyEffect action with "ColorEffect->SetGlow" and verifying in swf output. Please correct me if I am wrong.
The effects that start with "set" prefix under the "Effects->ColorEffect" category will set the effect permanently. So in your case, glow is not disappearing from the caption.
Please modify your conditional Advanced Action by changing "ColorEffect->SetGlow" as "Filters->Glow".
Please change the action as ApplyEffect ObjectName Glow
When you click the button, effect will be applied on the caption and Glow will disappear after sometime. Let us know if it resolves the issue.
Regards,
Haridoss

After Effects only partly exports to SWF

I have been trying to export my composition to SWF for about two hours. Everytime I attempt to export, it only exports 3/4 of the file. I had a 20 second composition at 500 frames, it only exports 378. I have a 15 second comp at 375 frames, it only exports 279. I have tried to turn on an off different layers and still get the same result.

You're going to need to give us a lot more information, if you want help. What info? This info.

NO EAX Effects for Soundfont synth on Live! 24-

I have the exactly problem as mentioned in this thread:
http://forums.creative.com/creativelabs/board/message?board.id=soundblaster&message.id=40849&que ry.id=38#M40849
There is no solution there. The Creative Soundfont synth sounds extremely dry. How can i add, at least, reverb and chorus to it's
Thanks.

No it's not. Remember that reverb and chorus can be applied to the main audio (wav) and therefore requires much more processing power than for midi. Both can also be applied to the General Synth Table but not to the Creative Soundfont Synth. Reverb works by tweaking the soundfont file but this is really crazy because I have to go back into all my soundfonts and if I want to change the reverb level I have to go back into all those soundfonts. Not a good solution.
I think this has to due with the fact that the new EAX console is much more limited than the previous versions. Before, you could affect reverb and chorus independently to the Wav channel or the Midi channel. There was much more tweaking available to the SB cards and that are now only available to the Audigy series.
They really downgraded the software and this is a major bug.
