Plugins Question

I have install the Free trial of Genarts Sapphire plugins in my FCP....Now my trial period is over and i dont have the kind of money to be buying them, Is there a way to delete the plist file or something so i can start a new trial period or is that just a dumb question and i should start saving money if i really want them..
If there is anyone who could help me out, because I'm im in the middle of a project and now i cant finish it with out those plugins.
Thanks for the help.
G4 powerbook 1.25 Mac OS X (10.4.5)

the whole point of a trial period is to allow you to 'real world' test the plugins to see if you want to buy them, not so you can just use them without paying for them.
the developers invest a great deal of time and money building these things ... it may be partly a labour of love but its mostly a business
bottom line: if you want them, buy them
there are plenty of free plugins out there too if you look around ... not as polished, but if thats your budget then thats what you should be looking for

IMovie plugins + question about a transition

I heard that Apple has some free iMovie plugins that you can download but I don't know where they are. Does anybody know where?
There is a transition that I have seen used where the scenes you can see one scene through another. If you want to see it go here
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=INx1baOQH_k
The exact place where it happens is at 1:45. I know that the scenes are slowed down and it looks like a cross dissolve, but when I tried it, it didn't work. Anybody know what was done?
Oh, and in case you're wondering, no I haven't been able to contact the guy who made the video, otherwise I would've asked him already.

X_Adagio4389,
The free plugins that Apple offered was some time ago. I think most of them have long since been incorporated into iMovie.
As for your other question, it looks like what you're trying to do is not so much a transition as it is the layering of one video image over another.
One way to do this is with QuickTime Pro. For a serious iMovie user, it's a useful tool. Kind of a Swiss Army knife for video.
Use Edit>Add to Selection & Scale to add the second video layer. Then open Window>Show Movie Properties. Select the second video track and click Visual Settings.
Select Blend from the transparency drop down menu and adjust the level of transparency to your liking.
Export the completed effect to DV Stream and then import that to your iMovie project.
I know my directions are a bit brief. Post back if you have questions.

CS5 upgrade from CS4 - plugins question

Hi -
can anyone refer me to a list of steps to move all of my plugins from CS4 to CS5 as part of the upgrade?
My plugins are:
Anthropics portrait pro 10
Image Trends - Fisheye hemi, pearly whites and shine-off
Nik Software - NIk sharpener, color efex, silver efex
onONE - mask pro 4
picture code - noise ninja
Power Retouche
Photo Frame 4
PhotoTools Pro 2.6
I don't really want to run both versions of photoshop... I've done that in the past and never once went back to the old once I upgraded... but open to advice there, too.
thanks,
tom

You used to be able to transfer them to the new version without reinstalling... is that not possible any longer????…
Read my previous post again:
You can only use those plug-ins in CS5 that have been upgraded by their particular software developer to run in 64 bits.
CS4 and earlier versions of Photoshop were 32-bit Carbon applications. CS5 is Cocoa and runs in Snow Leopard in 64 bits. You will need to get the updated 64-bit versions of your plug-ins from each of their developers.
Otherwise you'll need to run CS5 in 32 bits, with a corresponding loss in performance and any other consequences of running in 32 bits.

Apple AU plugin question + "AUpitch" problems

Are the "Apple" AU plugins a part of the OS or are they stored somewhere on the system?
Are they ever updated?
The Apple AU plugin "AUpitch" inserted on a bus or an Aux object will produce a loud 'pop' before audio passes through it and after the audio ends.
It also appears to report it's latency incorrectly, causing the effect to actually lead the audio on the track which is feeding the aux or bus object.

They are part of OSX and do not appear as plugins in the regular component directory.
They don't seem to be regularly updated. The MatrixVerb for instance can only be used once at a time, futher instances give noise, and it's been like this since 10.3.0
Use Logic's pitch plugin instead...

WSAD 5.1 + CVS plugin question

Sorry I coulnd`t find the right place to post this topic.
I have a question about WSAD, everytime I try to create a branch for a proyect ( Right click proyect -> Team -> Branch), I get the following error:
proyect: cvs [server aborted]: tag 'branch_name' has non-visible graphic characters.
Just in case you need this info: I already Commited the proyect, and its already being shared on my CVS repository. The CVS server is on a Windows 2000 PC.
I would be very grateful if someone can explain from the beginning, how to put a proyect on the repository, so that I can checkout files and start working locally.

up, please I need help.

Pitch Correction Plugin Questions

How well does the Pitch Correction plugin that comes with LE8 work on transforming voices - primarily male to female? The GarageBand Vocal Transformer effect creates a great deal of warble - which makes if fairly unusable.
Also, how does the LE8 differ from the Logic Studio Pitch Shifter II and its Vocal Transformer tool?
I am developing an animated film, and would like to create the voices myself, if possible, using software enhancements. Also, if anyone knows of other software solutions for this technique, I would greatly appreciate the information.
Thanks in advance for posting your responses.

Nicholas,
Although I haven't really tried the Pitch Correction in LE8 yet, I don't think it's ideal for creating different voices. You'd be better off with [Melodyne|http://www.celemony.com/cms>. It is available in several versions and will allow you to not only change pitches but also formants, which will really help you change your voice to sound like different people or even a woman, child, or a chipmunk.
Download a free demo and give it a try.

Meetingplace Outlook Plugin Question

I have a meetingplace express server that is in sync with LDAP. I have a user that had a username that was different than his email address. For some reason when he attempts to schedule a meeting using the outlook plugin for meetingplace, he gets the error "The person you schedule on behalf of doesn't have a profile". I need to know what the plugin or meetingplace looks at when a meeting generation is attempted. The user definitely has a profile but I believe since his profile name and email address were different, that is causing some problems. Any ideas here?

The MR1 release fixed the issue. It was actually released with this fix in mind. It allows meetingplace to work with a user even if the username and alias don't match up, without MR1 if the alias is different from the username, in our case it was, MP says that the two aren't the same user. In MR1 it is smart enough to see that it is the same user.

They also just released the MR2 which focuses on a lot of the outlook plugin errors.

Amazon Indesign Plugin Question

Apparently this plugin only works in CS6
Does it work well enough for me to back up my files from CC and buy (AGAIN) CS6?
Is anybody just delighted with this plugin?
Is there a way of creating a Kindle ebook without it when my files are all in indesign CC?

First of all, it's still in beta, and, as you already know, doesn't yet support InDesign CC (nine months after its release).
Not everyone is thrilled with it as you can see in the thread below:
When will ID Include Integrated Kindle .mobi Export?
If you're serious about creating eBooks, you should watch Anne-Marie Concepcion's new video on creating EPUB from InDesign CC on Lynda.com. She goes into the plusses and minuses of the Kindle plug-in versus an EPUB to KindleGen approach. (If you don't know what that means, you need to study some more, I'm afraid.)

Pls Help! Eclipse plugin question...

Hi, I am trying to install the Eclipse Plug-in for the PDK v1.2.0 onto Eclipse (version 3.0.2) but however, it doesn't seem to work. When I go from Windows>Preferences> I don't see any 'Portal Development Kit'. Also, I seem to get the error that this plugin does not support java 1.4. Is there a updated plugin? or is there a way around this?
Thank you so much!
Baggett

Hi,
unfortunately you need Eclipse 2.1 to run the plugin.
It does not work with Eclipse 3.x
Best Regards

Safari plugin questions

10.5.2 - clean install; perms repaired daily etc.
Q1 - certain pages on the BBC site cause Safari 3.0.4 to crash. Crash report invariably suggests Flash Plugin. Can I simply remove what Safari > Help > Installed Plugins reports as Shockwave Flash 9.0 r115 from /Library/Internet Plug-Ins?
Q2 - Safari > Help > Installed Plugins reports also suggests I have two QuickTime Plug-in 7.4.1 installed; and indeed I see both QuickTime Plugin.plugin and QuickTime Plugin.webplugin in /Library/Internet Plug-Ins. Can I safely remove one? If so, which?
Thanks!

Hi Mark
If you remove the Flash plug-in, you won't be able to access any Flash content. Recently, problems with Flash have been associated with a certain "buginess" with the latest version. The remedy has been to "downgrade" to 9.0.47. This might resolve the BBC problem.
Here's how to downgrade. You can obtain a copy here. Download "Flash Player 9". When you open the package, open the "9r47 Folder". There, select flashplayer9r47ubmac.dmg.zip for your Intel machine. This installs Flash 9.0.47, which seems to be the most stable version of Flash.
After Flash is installed, Safari automatically opens confirming the installation of the plug-in. Quit Safari. Then open Disk Utility in your Utilities folder and "repair permissions".
Restart Safari and try the BBC site.
Regarding the 2 QT plug-ins, there ought to be the two you mentioned. Unless you are seeing a QT problem I'd leave well enough alone.

Reverse audio plugin question

hello,
does anybody know if there's a plugin that can reverse audio as you play it live in realtime available for LE7? I used to use the Reversinator plugin in Ableton but that's a VST. Also Ableton doesn't allow you to use plugins when it is being used a slave.
I'm aware of the reverse audio function, but this is not what i'm after.
thanks a lot.

I am not sure such a thing could actually exist. I do know some guitar effects pedals have something like it, but essentially, unless it knew everything you were going to play before you played it, how could it reverse it?
I am guessing you mean to only reverse each note instead of the whole phrase.
I think a work-around might be to strip silence between transients, then reverse each one.

Plugin Question

Hi,
I wonder whether Red Giant Plugins can be used in Adobe Premiere Elements?
Does Premiere Elements eventually behave like Premiere Pro concerning Plugins from a Third Party?
Thanks...

I wonder whether Red Giant Plugins can be used in Adobe Premiere Elements?
I suspect not based on what you can read at the Red Giant Plug-ins web site and its compatibility listing
http://www.redgiant.com/support/compatibility/host-applications/
Premiere Pro CS6, CS5.5, CS4, and CS3 are shown but not Premiere Elements (any version). Among other things, video card choice may be a key factor. Just speculating. Best contact Red Giant support for verification unless someone here comes forward and says he/she has been there and done that.

Plugin question for iTunes

I've been looking forever for a small plugin for iTunes that will show the song while it's playing on my desktop AND allow me to rate the song. I've found CD Art; but it's flaky at best. I really like the plugin (http://itunesnowplayin.sourceforge.net/)... It looks great; just doesn't have the ability to rate songs. Macs have a handful of great plugins that do that, and wanted to see if anyone else came across a good plugin. Thanks!

Akamai streaming plugin question

Hi everyone,
With regards to the Akamai Basic Streaming Plugin.. I have run some tests with a sample player provided by Adobe/Akamai, as well as my own player. It seems that I can run every akamai url provided even when the plugin is not loaded. Is this correct behavior? I was under the impression that the OSMF without any plugins would not play akamai streams.
Thanks in advance.
Matt

I thought I would take a moment to update this thread since several months have passed since that last post.
There are now two Akamai plug-ins for OSMF:
1) The AkamaiBasicStreamingPlugin : this plug-in is open source and can be found in the OSMF source code repository and in the OSMF releases. It handles connection level and stream level authentication for FMS single and multi-bitrate streams (dynamic streaming) for both live and VOD. It also handles live connection retry if both primary and secondary encoders crash. All the metadata keys can be found in the plug-in's PluginInfo class.
2) The AkamaiAdvancedStreamingPlugin : this is a proprietary plugin that provides Akamai HD Network streaming and improved Zeri (Adobe HTTP streaming) in addition to everything the basic streaming plug-in provides.
If you are an Akamai customer and using an OSMF built player, you should be using one of these plugins. Which one depends on the type of media you need to play. Contact your Akamai sales rep for a copy of the Akamai plug-ins document. It contains detailed documentation about how to use these plug-ins and also contains several samples with source.
Thanks,
- charles
