Precomposed layer does not recognise opacity setting (bug)

Hi
I have a very simple precomposed layer comprising a single text layer with a drop shadow (layer style). However, it does not recognise the opacity setting in the main layer, even when set to 0% and the playhead is not even on the layer. If I change the opacity in the precomposed layer I can see it coming through to the main layer, but changing the opacity in the main layer does nothing.
I have reported this to Adobe as a bug, anyone have any other ideas?
Thanks
Antony

There is a fix. Apply a layer style to your pre-comp, then turn off the any styles. CR will now evaluate layer styles in your source comp and render them in the proper order.
Why does that work? You have to understand how CR works. When you turn on Continuous Rasterization the layer type is identified before any effects or transformations take place. This is why you can scale a vector layer without problems if CR is turned on. This explains why a 3D pre-comp that contains a 2D layer will be rendered as a 2D layer.
When you apply a Layer Style you are changing the layer type in the same way you change a layer type from 2D to 3D. If you want to have transformations applied to the layer style in the source file you need to change the layer type of the pre-comp layer to Layer Styles.

After updating my iphone5, my phone went back to factory setting and now I can't sign in with my apple id because it does not recognise it... Help?!

Yes, my telco is an approved carrier. If my phone was brand new, I think so, they opened it in front of me.. I really couldn't remember it was 1.4 years ago. It did seem new.
Well it says, "_____" cannot be used to unlock this iphone. I've tried both my apple ids but it didn't work.

Dual Layer Disc Does not Play in Set Top DVD Player

Problem: Dual Layer Disc Does not Play in Set Top DVD Player
Solution: If your burner supports having its bitsetting changed, find a utility and change it to include DVD-ROM.
Additional Information:
DL (Dual Layer) is currently only a +R format. This is a serious problem, as you will find that on older players - and a lot of new ones - there is no +R support. It is not official, and therefore useless for any professional application.
By changing the bitsetting of your burner, it allows DLs (Dual Layer discs) to be burned with a book type of DVD-Rom and thus readable by many more players.
DVD player support drops off exponentially if your burner doesn't support bitsetting, allowing you to change the book type of your disc from DL to DVD-Rom. The DL book type will play on most newer software DVD players but not set top players.
If you've burned a dual layer disc without changing the bitsetting, it is a permanent semi-coaster as it will only play on your computer. I understand that newer DL burners are coming with firmware that automatically sets the book type.
Encore offers no control over book-type. My understanding is that this is a burner-specific parameter: some burners support allow themselves to be set and others do not.
Bitsetting (setting the Book Type) is specific to individual burners. There are some 3rd party software utilities out there that do a good job. The best thing to do is do a Google Search for your specific burner and find what works for yours.
LiteOn has a book type utility available for its DL burners:
I believe DVDInfoPro can set this on burners which support it.
Note: I would caution everyone who updates their firmware to check their bitsetting before burning DL discs. I don't know if it always returns to its default but it did in my case.
Bitsetting is done prior to burning the disk and generally only needs to be set once (unless like me, you update the firmware of your burner). The book type identifies to the player what type of disk is in it. Most players will play DVD-Roms with no problem. However, the book type of a DL disk is DVD+R DL as opposed to DVD-Rom and few players can read that.

Some general comments about the OP's several questions
Remember that reading a burned disc is not part of the original, core specification to play a DVD... so while most players do, now, they are really not required to do so to be able to play a replicated disc
This may (probably is) even more so with dual layer discs... the disc material is different, and a player that will happily read a replicated disc may have problems with a burned disc
There are many messages scattered in the forum, over the past several years, about brands of disc that are better... due both to overall quality control and the type of dye on the disc that is burned by the laser... with the bottom line being that not all discs are going to play in all players with 100% success
As for studio discs... there is software out there that costs many thousands of dollars which do many (up to 9?) encoding passes to get the best, and smallest, possible result to fit more on a disc

After having updated the software on my apple tv, i cannot set up home sharing on it (let alone itunes!) simply, the apple tv does not recognise my apple id and password anymore

i have updated the apple tv software (on one apple tv, ihave 2) after having used for 2 years withou any problem.
i tried to log in again to watch movies already purchased but i cannot. the itunes store is not available and the home sharing does not recognise my id and password. on my pc i have alsoupdate to the latest software my itunes.
the second apple tv where i am still resisting tomupdate the software works very well as always.
help!?

Hi Everyone,
hope this message finds you all in time. The recent Apple TV update 5.1 is terrible. Apple knows it is which is why (thankfully for some relentless user -I have no idea who but I believe it was under threat) they have allowed to sign 5.0.2 again which means you can downgrade your Apple TV 2 and 3 to a 5.0.2 version via iTunes. Who knows how long they will keep the window open but I have downgraded my ATV early this morning. I couldn't post this earlier because I was out all day but I am doing it now.
Here's how to do it:
1) Connect your ATV to your computer via a Mini USB (not included with ATV but included with many other electronic devices) - in order for your ATV to appear in iTunes you must FIRST plug the USB cable to your computer and ATV and only THEN plug the power cable.
2) Download your ipsw restore file from Apple.
5.0.2 (ATV 2): AppleTV2,1_5.0.2_9B830_Restore.ipsw
5.0.2 (ATV 3): AppleTV3,1_5.0.2_9B830_Restore.ipsw
3) In iTunes select yout ATV, hold SHIFT and click on Restore
4) Find and choose the downloaded IPSW file in the Open Dialog Box and hit Next
5) As long as Apple still signs that version the Restore process will begin and will take a few minutes to complete.
Enjoy!

Adjustment Layer Does Not Adjust Layers

When adding an adjustment layer to a composition in After Effects I am able to see the purple outline of the adjustment layer in the Composition. I am able to change it's size and rotation by changing the Transform options, but the video on the two layers beneath the adjustment layer does not change.
I have been searching google and the forums high and low. I have had a chat with Adobe help. (who sent me a link on Adjustment Layers in Premiere Pro - I am using After Effects)
Any ideas?

You can apply a transform effect to the adjustment layer and it will move the layers below. Effect>Distort>Transform
You just need to understand what an adjustment layer does. It basically works on a composite of the layers below it and then renders over top. For example, if you like the dreamy look on footage, create an adjustment layer, apply a fast blur and set the blur to a reasonably high number, set the layer transfer mode to screen and lower the opacity. Note how it works. It doesn't change the opacity or blending mode of the layers below, it just effects how the adjustment layer (which is blurring a composite of the layers below) blends with those layers.

I recovered my back up via a wired connection. now Time Machine does not recognise older back ups wirelessly and wants to do a first back up

I recovered a back up from my time machine via a wired connection after getting the 'white screen of death'. Now Time Machine does not recognise any back ups on the time machine when connected wirelessly and wants to do a first back up of the whole machine. How do I get my mac to recognise these older back ups? It connects to the wifi network the time machine creates fine, with the same name and password.

I recommend the following.
1. Reset the TC to factory.
Universal Factory Reset.. any model TC or AE.
Unplug your TC/AE from power or turn off at the power point.
Hold in reset. and power the TC/AE back on.. all without releasing reset and keep holding in for about 10sec. (this is often difficult without a 2nd person or a 3rd arm).
Release it when the status light flashes rapidly. If it doesn’t flash rapidly you have missed it and try again.
Note..
Be Gentle! Feel the switch click on. It has a positive feel.. add no more pressure after that.
TC/AE will reboot after a couple of minutes with default factory settings and will wipe out previous configurations of the router.
No files are deleted on the hard disk in a TC.. No reset of the TC deletes files.. to do that you use erase from the airport utility.
2. Rename the TC to SMB standard.
That means short names.. 2-20 characters but less than 10 is excellent. eg TCGenx (use number for x that is actual generation of the TC)
No spaces.
Pure alphanumeric. No apostrophe.
3. Ensure IPv6 is set to link-local..
Do the same thing for ethernet if that is used.
4. Manually mount the TC disk in Finder.
Use Go in the top menu.. connect to server.
Type in
AFP://TCname.local (where TCname is your new short name for the TC and local is default domain .. it helps using the domain I found).
You will then find the computer either can or cannot find the network resource.. if it fails something else is wrong with the actual network and you will need to fix that.
It will request the password if it is found.. password is public by default unless you changed it.. type in the password and check to keep it in your keychain.
5. Delete current TM setup and redo it with the newly named TC.
See A4 here. http://pondini.org/TM/Troubleshooting.html
If your backups cannot be found, try B6 again, now that you actually know that the disk has been properly discovered.

Can some one help me reinstall my MP640 software on my Imac and macbook pro? as the software does not recognise os 10.7.5

My Imac and macbook pro stopped accessing my MP640 via the home wifi set up, so I sent all the canon software to the trash on both computers, thinking I should reinstall the software I got with the printer, but the software does not recognise os 10.7.5. I am using a netgear modem. I also use time machine to back up to time capsule.

Does not recognise keyboard on boot

I downloaded the USB debug kit from Apple's developer website and installed it. After restart it does not recognise the keyboard and mouse.

solved! i had configured my keyboard in xorg.conf
I commented out the option: "AutoAddDevices" "false" in xorg
and created a hal .fdi file for the keyboard like this:
cp /usr/share/hal/fdi/policy/10osvendor/10-keymap.fdi /etc/hal/fdi/policy/
and edit 10-keymap.fdi accordingly
more info here: http://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/Xor … figuration
hope this helps
by the way is this a bug? shouldn't both configurations (hotplugging and old school xorg) work?

Itunes does not recognise the ipod after update to itunes 8.2.0.23

Hi, Now find, after putting new songs in my play list, that when I plug in ipod to update songs on ipod itunes does not recognise the ipod.
The version of iTunes I updated to was 8.2.0.23 - everything worked fine until then. I see there is a newer version 8.2.1 now available - do you think by installing this the "unable to recognise" problem would be fixed???
Thanks for your thoughts!

I have a similar problem with the iPhone. Tried everything you can think of and then some. There is apparently some devastating bug 7.6 introduced into normal USB device recognition. I've been able to force the phone into recovery mode; the boot recovery USB driver does still work. Restoring the phone every time I need to sync is both scary and time-consuming.

Aperture does not recognise TIF files from Nikon CoolScan

The TIF files from my Coolscan are good in every other application, but Aperture does not recognise them. I've tried re-saving the TIFs as JPG and PDS but Aperture doesn't recognise any file generated from the TIF. Maybe it's something to do with the scanner driver? Any ideas how to load these files into Aperture?

You might check the color space that is assigned to the files. If you are using Nikon Scan software to manage your CoolScan, there is a preference for setting the color space of the saved file. FWIW, Nikon CoolScan .nef files are a 'raw' file, not camera raw, that was/is a Nikon proprietary format for their scans. If you use the Nikon Scan for image editing, the edits are non-destructive in saved files and can be adjusted by re-opening the file in NS. Adobe first made editing camera raw available in early 2003 and the Nikon format preceded that. Nikon's camera raw format also has the .nef extension, but is not the same as the CoolScan .nef-- really confusing. I suggested checking the color space, because Nikon has different internal names for Adobe RGB(1988) as well as their own Wide Gamut space.
All said, I've not had a problem opening .tif scan files in Aperture.

Premiere Elements 4 or 8.0/8.0.1 on Windows XP 32 bit.....Yes
Are you set up with a FireWire (iLINK) connection for this DV Data capture?
Yes, as indicated by the 1394 connection statement.
From the screenshot, it appears that you only have 77 GB free space at the save location for the DV data capture. Can you point the Captured Video and Captured Audio to another save location with more free hard drive space?
Have moved to 300GB free space. no success.
Is this a "it worked before but not now" or "it never worked before" for Premiere Elements 4 or 8.0/8.0.1?
worked a few years ago marginally probably on Prem Elem 4.0. Have rolled-back NVIDIA drivers to 296.10 dated 14 June 2012 with no success
As background if needed, please review the following Adobe document on Capture

Although it targets newer versions, the principles should be applicable to Premiere Elements 4 and 8.0/8.0.1.
Have read, no fixes.
Please review and consider and then we can decide what next.
Have removed NVIDIA card and am using on-board DVI port. Prem 8.0 still reports "Microsoft Dv Camera" and not Sony as other programs do. What causes Prem Elem to not report Sony DV camcorder?
Thank you, will keep trying.

Elements does not recognise prel file

I saved a project to DVD (photos with background music) Elements does not recognise "prel" file when trying to reload project. How do i open file in Premiere Elements 10

Chris (Herbie53)
There was no Premiere Elements 5 and 6. The version numbers went 1, 2, 3, 4, 7, 8, 9, 10, 11, 12 (latest) So you probably use Premiere Elements 4 or maybe 7 on probably Windows 32 bit XP or Vista.
Case 1. (Here we assume that you have the project.prel file (project) saved to a DVD disc as data disc.)
Even if you had saved that older Premiere Elements project file (project.prel) along with copies of the media that went into it, it is still questionable whether that old project.prel could be opened in Premiere Elements 12. But, assuming that the media was still connected to it (which it probably is not), you could try by right clicking the project.prel file and selecting Open With Premiere Elements 12. Have you gone that route, and the project would not open or you were greeted by "Where is the file...?" messages.
Case 2. (Here we assume that, when you were using the the older program, you took the project Timeline to DVD-VIDEO on DVD disc...this is not the project.prel file, but an export of it.)
In this situation, if you put your DVD disc in the burner tray and explored it, you would see two folders, one named OpenDVD and another named VIDEO_TS. This is your best case scenario. If this is the case.....
a. Put your DVD disc in the burner tray.
b. Open Premiere Elements 12 Expert workspace. Go to File Menu/New/Project and Change Settings.
In Change Settings, set the project preset for either NTSC DV Standard or NTSC DV Widescreen. For now, we will assume NTSC DV Standard. Then, before you exit that area, in the last dialog that you see (new project dialog), make sure you have a check mark next to "Force Selected Project Setting on This Project".
c. Next, back in the Premiere Elements 12 Expert workspace, use Add Media/DVD Camera or Computer Drive/Video Importer where you will select video files from the VIDEO_TS Folder to bring into the Premiere Elements 12 project. You will have to redo the menu in 12. The video files that you want from the VIDEO_TS Folder typically start with VTS_01_1.VOB and continue in series which can be detailed later.
Goal right now is to sort through the details so that we are in sync on what you have in order to enable us to be confident about the troubleshooting strategy.
We will be watching for your comments and results.
Thanks.

Add On.....The classical recommendation has always been to complete a project in the program in which it was created. But let us see what can be done here.

IDVD Onestep does not recognise camcorder

Hi, I am really hoping someone can help, I'm trying to copy from my video camera (Panasonic SDR-S26) to a DVD using iDVD's Onestep, however the program does not recognise the camera, therefore I can't get anywhere. Could this be because I have it connected with a USB instead of firewire? or is there some other reason? Any suggestions would be helpful.
Thanks in advance.

I have a similar problem but the device not recognized DOES produce a DV signal going out over a firewire or DV cable ... The device is the Sony GV-D200 Digital8 video recorder which can play and convert to DV format tapes in the 8, high 8, and digital8 formats . One Step DOES control the device to rewind it to the start of the tape but then says there is no movie found at the point where it would normally start the vidcam and start playing the movie for processing .
The GV-D200 Digital8 video recorder should appear to be a video camera to any device receiving the dv signal over the dv cable or firewire . Frustrating because one step is ideal for me IF I can just set it up , start it and then go away for 4-5 hours while it inches its' way through the process ...one archived video in 8 or digital8 put to DVD every night ...IF I could get iDVD One Step DVD to recognize the dv signal coming from the GV-D200 Digital8 video recorder <<--- which is essentially the same as the guts of the early high end Sony digital 8 cameras that would play all three types of recorded tapes but only recorded in digital8 .....

Help my computer does not recognise my hard drive

Hi All,
Yesterday I turned my computer on to find that it would not start up. I tried following advice etc about starting up in safe mode etc but no help what I have found is that he computer does not recognise the hard drive anymore so when I out the osx install disk in and run system profiler and disk utility it does not show a hard drive. I have not done anything for this to happen. Can anyone help me with this.
Thanks.
Paul

Instead of using older OS X CD/DVD install to a new drive.
Where is your backup and clone?
Buy some drives! that is a must.
Pick up a FW case, you will need it to put the old drive in, and later, so you have an external and off line drive for backups and maintenance.
A copy of TechTool Pro 4/5 and Disk Warrior (DW first).
SuperDuper to clone your drives.
Demo of Prosoft Data Rescue 3 to scan the drive once you have a system and you put the 'dead' drive in FW case.
Then do backups and preventative maintenance on a very regular basis and have at least two backup sets.
If you have been doing that, and know and have read those instructions in the past....
