Plugin crashes when I select an adjustment layer in a layer parm

If I drop my plugin on any layer and select an adjustment layer that is on top of the plugin's layer from the plugin's layer param, After Effects crashes. What gives? I'd love to paste some code here but it even happens when my plugin is doing nothing at all. I can comment out all of the render code and the plugin works UNTIL I select an adjustment layer as mentioned.
Is this a problem with After Effects or is there a way I can fix this?
Eidt: It seems native After Effects plugins also crash when I select an adjustment layer from a layer param, not just my own plugins.

Exact same thing happening to me. Are you on CS6 as well?

  • When I select an adjustment layer I do not automatically get a mask.

    Every adjustment layer tutorial that I watch suggests that when I select an adjustment layer I should get a mask with it.  I must have something set incorrect because in my case I must actually choose a mask manually.
    Any ideas?

    Cs4/Cs5 look on the adjustments panel flyout menu and check add Mask by Default.
    Cs2/Cs3 look at the Layers Palette options from the flyout menu.

  • Why are my eyedropper targets changing when I select my adjustment layer?

    Consider this simple document with 2 layers and an adjustment layer:
    Note the eyedropper targets. They read as expected:
    Now, observe what happens when I click my adjustment layer (this is a new Levels adjustment that has NOT YET BEEN TOUCHED - so there should be NO CHANGE)
    It doesn't matter whether the adjustment layer or its layer mask are selected, the results are the same.
    Here are my eyedropper settings:
    Proof Colors is off. I can't think of any other setting to play with.
    This looks like a pretty huge bug to me, and it's not something I remember from earlier versions. Does anyone know what's going on?

    Thanks for the added clarifications Noel. Can you perhaps explain to me how the behaviour of the color sampler in the info palette is actually desirable?
    Let's look at my example again. When I am trying to make an adjustment and I'm looking at my color sampler targets, I _must_ have my adjustment layer selected. Target #1 is pointed over a white pixel. Regardless of which layer I have selected, that pixel is white. I can't imagine a scenario in which the readout should be anything other than 255,255,255. That's not a feature, that's a design mistake.
    If I want to see, in the readout, the value of the background image's pixel, then I should hide the layer that contains that white shape. Then, that pixel is no longer white, and the color sampler readout should reflect that. Makes sense.
    If you truly and honestly believe that users are interested in the color that is a result of compositing all the layers below (and including) the currently selected adjustment layer when they are plaing with the adjustment layer controls, then the UI must temporarily hide any layers above that color sampler as soon as I select the adjustment layer. This is the only correct UX design in that scenario - so that the color sampler once again reflects exactly what is "true" - namely the pixel color on the screen that it is sampling.
    And if you re-read that last paragraph you will intuitively know that that would be crazy. I mean, there's no way that a user would want to have the UI hide any layers just because he's clicked on the Adjustment Layer - he probably wants to see the adjustment in the context of the entire composition. If he wanted to hide those other layers, he'd do it himself.
    I urge you to reconsider this from the perspective of a real-world user and consider logging this as a bug. I just can't see any way that it isn't a mistake.

  • Selections & Levels Adjustment Layer Not Working Properly

    Hello,
    I'm experiencing something that I've never encountered before.  I’ve used the selection function and levels adjustment layer hundreds of times and I’ve never ever seen this...
    When I make a selection (in this case the signatures on the attached image) and then darken that selection using a levels adjustment layer, some of the surrounding information is changing/darkening as well.  This should not be happening.
    What's the fix?
    Best,
    Michelle

    The solution I already gave you is valid, and works to modify your existing method, depending on your Quick Mask setting. Rather than reject it out of hand, I suggest you use it.
    The problem is that I've performed this procedure hundreds of times before, using the very same steps below, and this particular oddity has never happened, until now.
    If you have selected different Eyedropper settings (Range for example), or the image has even slightly different tonal or colour characteristics to normal, your method will not always work. Your method is too crude. In particular the need to alter the selection using the Marquee selection tool, suggests that some knowledge is required. 
    There are better methods that will produce perfect masks - using Calculations, channel operations, or even the new Refine Edge command. You probably don't even need selections at all to do this, because Curves and Advanced Blending Options could be used instead.

  • Firefox Flash plugin crashes when FF launched with "Run as different user"

    I often start Firefox in Windows 7 (x64) using the "Run as different user" mechanism. After upgrading my Flash plugin to v11 (11.8.800.94), the browser will hang for several minutes when visiting any page that contains Flash content. When Firefox becomes responsive again, scrolling a page with Flash content will cause the app to hang again. Disabling the Flash plugin eliminates the problem.
    It seems the plugin is silently crashing -- I'm not alerted to a plugin crash in any way (no dialog or yellow "Flash player crashed" notice at the top of the window), but after FF hangs I will see a new crash report entry in the FF about:crashes list. An example crash report is available at https://crash-stats.mozilla.com/report/index/ff452291-b5b2-44e4-a172-416792130818
    The plugin does not crash when Firefox is running under the same account that is logged onto Windows interactively -- only when running FF as a different user. For example, if I log onto Windows with user account Adam and launch FF normally, the problem does not exist. If I close FF and launch it as user Bob (shift+right-click Firefox Shortcut, choose "Run as different user"), the problem will appear. However, if I log into Windows as user Bob and launch FF normally, the problem does not exist.
    I have tried the following as troubleshooting steps, all to no effect:
    Create new Windows user accounts to rule out potential Windows or Firefox profile issues.
    Use another PC (also Windows 7 x64). The same behavior occurs on both PCs
    Disable AVG antivirus.
    Upgrade Firefox to latest version (23.0.1).
    Disable Flash hardware acceleration.
    Give both user accounts full local admin privileges.
    Can anyone suggest something to try next?
    Update: Per the troubleshooting instructions at < http://forums.adobe.com/thread/1018071?tstart=0 >, I was able to eliminate the problem by adding the line
    ProtectedMode=0
    to my C:\Windows\SysWOW64\Macromed\Flash\mms.cfg file to disable Flash Player Protected Mode. There are instructions on that page for submitting a Protected Mode-related bug, and I will follow through with that.

    Maybe you did't understand my previous statement. There are no crashes in FF 3.6, There is no previous evidence FF 14 was ever here, I completely uninstalled all trace of Firefox, no app data, no preferences, no cache. I will upgrade to FF14 so I can send IDs,
    so here ya go.

    I'm running on Ubuntu 9.10 with Firefox 3.6.10.
    thanks to the first post, i didn't downgrade Firefox to 3.5 but i did download 3.5.
    Here is what i did:
    I downloaded 3.5.13 : http://www.mozilla.com/en-US/firefox/all.html
    The link to 3.5.13 is on the right under Other Versions.
    Once you click on FF 3.5.13, it'll take you to all different languages of 3.5.13.
    I got the English version. The name of the file is : firefox-3.5.13.tar.bz2
    Once downloaded, i opened the location of the file( Downloads folder) and opened the package by double clicking on it. YOur 9.10 should be able to recognize bz2 format and you will see a folder called Firefox in the archive.
    Simply, extract the folder and place it on your desktop.
    IF you want to run FF3.5.13, close all firefox browsers that are already opened.
    Once this is done, Open the folder "Firefox" that you just extracted and double click on the file firefox. It should ask you to run, display, run in terminal... simply press run.
    This is how i got it to work. simple steps. to confirm it is working, check the version of firefox and try paltalk express

    HI Ohhh Kaye,
    This may not help you since I'm not using a macOS.  I'm running windows 7 with PS 2014.2.2.  However the problem seems similar.  I found this workaround on photoshop.com where people using windows and OSx versions were reporting the issue for well over a year.
    It appears one trigger for this problem is when reusing older photoshop files.  These older Photoshop files have older print settings saved within them.  If your printer driver is newer/changed since the file was made and/or your Photoshop version is newer than when it was created it appears to cause a crash when trying to enter printer driver settings to change them.
    The workaround that worked for me:  Open the old photoshop file.  Jot down the dimensions.  Create a new file w/same dimensions.  Arrange your workspace to "2-up vertical" or something that allows you to see both files at once.  Select all layers on the old file and drag to the new file.  Close the old file.  Align all your layers and content to the new file (keep all layers selected).  Then save the new file.  Now choose print, and then choose print settings.   It should not crash this time. And it will be fine the next time you open it.  That is if this workaround will work for both operating systems and errors anyway. (might not)   Worth a try if you are really trying to print something directly from photoshop.  Otherwise export a pdf and print that.
    Hope it works for you OSX people too.

  • Java plugin crashes when creating a new sun.security.pkcs11.SunPKCS11 object

    Hi,
    I have created an applet which signs pdf files and works fine.
    Applet is used in a website that needs client authentication with the same smart card wich is used to sign the documents.
    The java plugin crashes at this line of code. The message showed - The java applet plugin has failed
    sunpkcs11 = new sun.security.pkcs11.SunPKCS11(pkcs11);
    I think it crashes because the pkcs11 module is still used, the light of the smart card reader is not blinking is a fixed light.
    I haven't got an error log because the java plugin crashes. Only shows the log lines before that line of code.
    Later the sunpkcs11 provider is added if the smarcard is unplugged and java plugin don't crashes.
    Security.addProvider(sunpkcs11);
    If I unplug the smart card after client authentication and before sign a document, the java plugin don't crashes and later, the provider is added, and the document is signed and the light of the smart card reader is blinking before signing.
    Firefox 27 version.
    Java Standar Edition version 7 update 51 compilation 1.7.0_51-b13
    I'm using mac os x v10.9 64 bits system
    I have seen:
    http://bugs.java.com/view_bug.do?bug_id=8026833
    I have tested the same applet with firefox, in windows 7, windows 8, ubuntu 13.10 and fedora 19, and works and signs documents after client authentication.
    when applet is loaded in windows is not using pkcs11. But I haven't got the same problem.
    But in mac os x v10.8 and v10.9 java plugin crashes.
    Is there a way to disconnect programatically the pkcs11 module or any other solution?
    I'm not sure why the java plugin crashes. Has got any relationship with the bug 8026833?
    Any suggestion?.
    Thank you.

    Hi,
    According to your post, my understanding is that you had Errors TF30162 and TF250025 when creating a New Team Project in TFS2012 with Sharepoint Site on Visual Studio.
    The Errors TF30162 seemed that the reports for TFS could not be uploaded due a permission problem. The fix was really easy.
    Go to your team foundation server 
    Open the administration console. 
    Click on Reporting
    Click on Edit
    Click on Reports Tab
    Enter the credential for the Reports
    Save
    Click on Start Jobs
    In addtion, the problem may be due to the caching done by Team Explorer in Visual Studio. Exiting the copy of VS on the client and reloading it will fix the problem as the updated team process settings will cached locally.
    To resolve the Errors TF250025, you will need to register a new internal URL for the SharePoint site using Alternate Access Mappings.
    Here are two great blogs for you to take a look at:

  • 8.0.5 crashes when events selected...

    Hi all, and thank you in advance!
    I have read, I believe all the threads I could relating to iMovie crashes, and tried everything but an OS re-install :/ Anyway, the problem just started today for some reason: The default selection in the Event Library is "iPhoto Video". When I select any of the "New Events", all appears OK, until I 1. try to do ANYTHING with a selected event, or 2. highlight another New Event. I eventually get the beachball and the resulting log which Apple's forum server WON'T allow me to post (size??).
    Anyway, I have tried: cleaning up my disk by verifying and/or repairing permissions and the disk itself, removing Flip4Mac and other components from the QuickTime library (except for the two Apple codecs), ensured everything was up to date, removed iMove preference files, and re-installed iMovie...all to no avail. I can post bits and pieces of the error log I am sure, but not the whole thing at once…ideas?
    This is all particularly humbling since my wife is a dedicated Windows user and finds this very entertaining. For this and other reasons, I would appreciate any and all help, and will build a small shrine to whom solves this puzzle. MMM

    Hi
    How about Perian - some versions seems problematic.
    Program Updates under Apple menu - updated ?
    else
    *Not knowing the origin to Your problem - General approach when in trouble is as follows.*
    • Free space on internal (start-up) hard disk if it is less than 10Gb should rather have 25Gb
    • Delete iMovie pref file - or rather start a new user/account - log into this and re-try
    iMovie pref file resides.
    Mac Hard Disk (start-up HD)/Users/"Your account"/Library/Preferences
    and is named. *com.apple.iMovie.plist *
    While iMovie is NOT RUNNING - move this file out to desk-top.
    Now restart iMovie.
    • Hard disk is untidy. Repair Permissions, Repair Hard disk (Apple Disc Util tool)
    • Garageband-fix. Start it, Play a note and Close it. Re-try (Corrects an audio problem that hinders iMovie)
    • Screen must be set to Million-colors
    • Third party plug-ins that doesn't work OK (not relevant for iMovie’08 or 09)
    iMovie updated ?
    QuickTime updated ?
    Mac OS version ?
    • Program miss-match. iMovie 5.0.2, up to Mac OS X.4.11 AND QuickTime 7.4.1 - is OK
    • Program miss-match. iMovie 6.0.3 or 6.0.4, Mac OS X.4.11 AND QuickTime 7.4.1 - is OK (might work under Leopard)
    • Program miss-match. iMovie’08 v. 7.0.1, Mac OS X.4.11 AND QuickTime 7.4.1 - is OK (might work under Leopard)
    From LKN 1935. (in this case = iMovie HD (5), I tried it all, but nothing worked.
    Your answer (above) has been helpfull insofar as all the different trials led to the conclusion that
    there was something wrong with my iMovie software. I therefore threw everything away and reinstalled
    iMovie from the HD. After that the exportation of DV videos (there has not been any problem with HDV videos)
    to my Sony camcorders worked properly as it did before.
    Lennart Thelander
    I run "Cache Out X", clear out all caches and restarts the Mac.
