Problem with tilt shift effect

I have the latest version of Elements 12 and have just started to experiment with the Tilt-Shift Guided Effect. The problem I'm having is that when I try to change the area of focus, nothing much seems to change in the picture. Sometimes it seems like the original in-focus area stays in place and I can make small changes elsewhere in the picture.
I was wondering if anyone else was having a problem with Tilt-Shift?
thanks.

I think I verified what I was seeing in Guided Mode by going to Expert Mode after trying to alter the focus area. In expert mode I found a mask for the blur layer - and what I saw were 2 gradients rather than just one. One of the gradients in the mask was where Elements put the default in-focus area, and the second gradient in the mask was where I tried to move the in-focus area to. I was expecting to find one gradient on the mask, but instead there were two. Are others observing this same behavior? Thanks.

I'm kind of restricted as to the height and position on the indoors shots. I have my eye on positions but it means climbing up on things and getting into corners but, if needs must.
I was using alpha channels as the angles I've used so far don't lend themselves to making a straight mask. I'll stick with it though, it might look better on just the automated machine with no people.
Maybe being forced into working with odd angles and positions might give the video something unique over the rest, probably not though. I guess there's only one way to find out.

Can I do a tilt-shift effect to my photos in iPhoto?

I read yesterday that I can create a tilt-shift effect in iPhoto, but I can't find information on how to do it. Does anyone know?
D. Turner

Are you referring to the picture frames and text boxes in an iPhoto book? If so try these key combinations:
You can "adjust" a photo frame or text box size on a page with the following key combinations:
Command + Option +⬆arrow: increase frame height.
Command + Option +⬇arrow: decrease frame height.
Command + Option + ➜ arrow: increase frame width.
Command + Option + ⬅ arrow: decrease frame width.
To adjust its position on the page use these key combinations:
Command + Control + ➜ arrow: move frame to right.
Command + Control + ⬅ arrow: move frame to left.
Command + Control + ⬆ arrow: rotate frame counter clockwise.
Command + Control + ⬇ arrow: rotate frame clockwise.
You can conver the standard frame (on the left) to this one (on the right)
If this isn't it there's only the Straighten tool in iPhoto's Edit mode.

Problem with the Blind effect.

Hi, i have a problem with the Blind effect.
I added multiple Image bars vertically together. With a click on a bar, some text slides out. With another click on the bar you can slide the text back in. So far so good.
Now, always when i click to open or close a window, the site jumps to a certain point, but i can't exactly figure out where it's jumping to.
Is there an order to fix the position of the bars, so that they don't move, even if I open or close the bars?
The problem does not appear when im at the bottom of the website.
thx for your help.

I figured out the problem I was having with my zoom effect.
It worked when I added a specific number for height and width.
Before I had a percent. Try adding a height and width number, it
worked for me.

Problem with DeNoiser audio effect

I hava a problem with DeNoiser audio effect. When I apply it to a clip, it starts to work after a few seconds: it produces noisy audio on the beginning of each clip, but clean at the end. It appears both when I watch playback in Premiere (with MPE GPU acceleration enabled on GTX 460), and in final rendered movie.
How can I resolve this problem? Or maybe Premiere has got other effects that function similar to DeNoiser and work fine?
I'm using Premiere Pro CS6 Trial (updated version 6.0.1, I have also updated Media Encoder to version 6.0.1). I work with footage from Canon 600D DSLR (1080p24, mov, H.264, PCM audio). My operating system is Windows 7 Ultimate 64-bit (with SP1, problem appears also on Windows without SP). I have no third-party plugins instaled.

How can I resolve this problem?
Don't use that effect. Instead do this kind of thing in Audition.

Having problems with using shift alt command when using the square tool

having problems with using shift alt command when using the square tool

Marco,
If no good reason, such as the one suggested by Silkrooster, is present, you may try the list, hoping for one of the easy ones at the top.
The following is a general list of things you may try when the issue is not in a specific file, and when it is not caused by issues with opening a file from external media. You may have tried/done some of them already; 1) and 2) are the easy ones for temporary strangenesses, and 3) and 4) are specifically aimed at possibly corrupt preferences); 5) is a list in itself, and 6) is the last resort.
If possible/applicable, you should save current artwork first, of course.
1) Close down Illy and open again;
2) Restart the computer (you may do that up to at least 5 times);
3) Close down Illy and press Ctrl+Alt+Shift/Cmd+Option+Shift during startup (easy but irreversible);
4) Move the folder (follow the link with that name) with Illy closed (more tedious but also more thorough and reversible), for CS3 - CC you may find the folder here:
https://helpx.adobe.com/illustrator/kb/preference-file-location-illustrator.html
5) Look through and try out the relevant among the Other options (follow the link with that name, Item 7) is a list of usual suspects among other applications that may disturb and confuse Illy, Item 15) applies to CC, CS6, and maybe CS5);
Even more seriously, you may:
6) Uninstall (ticking the box to delete the preferences), run the Cleaner Tool (if you have CS3/CS4/CS5/CS6/CC), and reinstall.

Problem with premiere pro effects controls

Hi, Merry Christmas;
I have a problem using keys with the opacity effect in the effects control panel; the following pictures should I think make my problem clearer to understand:
The image above shows that the opacity control of the correction gopro clip is at 100% which unless I've drunk too much champagne, is in full view on the screen!
I want to make a transition effect showing the raft appearing in the window of the following picture which is an Indian Granary above the Colorado river.
On my clip of the Granary I zoomed up to the window as to give the impression I get into the granary itself; When I arrive at this moment I begin, with key frames to have
the granary interior pass from 100% opacity to 0% at the end of the granary clip. Unless again champagne is very bad for my health and vision, I should see then the river
and the raft! Well I don't and that gives me nightmares! What is wrong? I add that to have a smooth and regular zoom I have used time remapping on the granary clip.
The granary clip is the one just above the correction gopro clip and overlapping it by the duration of the dissolve shown selected in the picture below(I could of course use a dissolve here, but I want to economize on a supplementary effect)
below is the view with the screen and the opacity of the granary clip at 25%. Normally the clip of the raft should be quite visible then! the red-orange on the right of the screen is the interior wall of the granary!
Thanks for any suggestions... Claude

Stacking in Adobe products is prototypically the top being the final thing you "see". If you have two clips, one atop the other, you will normally see the top clip & nothing from the bottom clip ... unless the top-most clip is given some transparency by say bringing its opacity setting down.
Think of it as the bottom layer "feeds" up to the next higher layer and so on. What comes out at the top is what you will see as the final product.
Much of my work has been short interviews cut with b-roll & stills. The basic interview sits on V1, and I use V2 and only occasionally V3 for the b-roll & stills that I'll cut to for variety, information, or simply interest retention during the running of essentially the audio from V1. This works nice, as I can expand or trim the b-stuff as it seems right while playing back. Then if I want to put in a transition, as part of polishing, I can either trim out the V1 section and move the V2 clip "down" before adding transitions or do a razor on V1 on both ends and add it to the end of the clips. Typically I cut out the section.
The lesson is ... putting anything on a higher track replaces the viewable video of anything under it. Unless you reduce the upper tracks opacity.

Problem with Adobe After Effects CS6 on Windows 8.1 PRO

Hi Adobe Systems guys, I would like to know when the error will have the solution presented Adobe After Effects CS6 (Latinoamerican Spanish Version) running Windows 8.1 PRO, and throwing the following error.
I've tried the latest available update 11.0.3 but does not correct the problem. I wonder when will be ready the solution because with Illustrator CS6 also was the same but with the solution described in this page, http://helpx.adobe.com/illustrator/kb/illustrator-does-not-start-windows-81.html was solved perfectly.
I appreciate prompt as we need urgent help to use the software in its Spanish version as was originally purchased. thanks

That such a friend, for I tell you that none of their solutions is an option for me because:
• Wait a couple of months with no after effects in the hope That a patch will come ... someday
R:/ The problem is not mine, is problem of Abode and therefore investing heavily in the creative suite CS6 and for that to be an option.
It's not fair to have to beg for a solution.
• Upgrade to CC and enjoy all the latest features
R:/ It is not possible , because we will not spend more money than they already invested in Suite CS6
• Use After Effects CS6 in English
R:/ It is not possible as the staff in charge of managing this program if it is not handled in English and therefore bought the suite in Spanish .
• Roll your computer back to Windows 8 instead of 8.1
R:/ It is not possible as it is known all Windows 8.0 failures we have put in 8.1 PRO .
I do not understand is that if Adobe Illustrator had the same problem and it was fixed within a couple of days getting the patch , why not do the same with After Effects CS6 in Spanish . All users of this suite CS6 and buyers deserve respect and prompt solution to the problems that are the fault of Adobe.

Problem with the zoom effect

I have five images in a row and I have added a zoom effect to
the rollover and rollout effects. What I have noticed is that the
image only zooms out when I bring the mouse out from the bottom of
the image. If I try to bring the mouse from left to right across
the images the first image zooms in but not out, and this happens
for all five images. Can anyone identify what I am doing wrong?
Here is my code:
<mx:HBox width="100%" horizontalAlign="center">
<mx:Image source="@Embed('images/bistro9-1.jpg')"
scaleX=".05" scaleY=".05" rollOver="doZoom(event)"
rollOut="doZoom(event)"
click="showImage('images/bistro9-1.jpg')"/>
<mx:Image source="@Embed('images/bistro9-2.jpg')"
scaleX=".05" scaleY=".05" rollOver="doZoom(event)"
rollOut="doZoom(event)"
click="showImage('images/bistro9-2.jpg')"/>
<mx:Image source="@Embed('images/bistro9-3.jpg')"
scaleX=".05" scaleY=".05" rollOver="doZoom(event)"
rollOut="doZoom(event)"
click="showImage('images/bistro9-3.jpg')"/>
<mx:Image source="@Embed('images/bistro9-4.jpg')"
scaleX=".05" scaleY=".05" rollOver="doZoom(event)"
rollOut="doZoom(event)"
click="showImage('images/bistro9-4.jpg')"/>
<mx:Image source="@Embed('images/bistro9-5.jpg')"
scaleX=".05" scaleY=".05" rollOver="doZoom(event)"
rollOut="doZoom(event)"
click="showImage('images/bistro9-5.jpg')"/>
</mx:HBox>
<mx:Zoom id="zoomAll" zoomWidthTo="0.06"
zoomHeightTo="0.06" zoomWidthFrom=".05" zoomHeightFrom=".05" />
public function doZoom(event:MouseEvent):void {
if (zoomAll.isPlaying) {
zoomAll.reverse();
else {
// If this is a ROLL_OUT event, play the effect backwards.
// If this is a ROLL_OVER event, play the effect forwards.
zoomAll.play([event.target], event.type ==
MouseEvent.ROLL_OUT ? true : false);

I figured out the problem I was having with my zoom effect.
It worked when I added a specific number for height and width.

worked for me.

IMovies problem with Ken Burns effect.

When I use Ken Burns effect in IMovies, the bricks of a house, the line of a shirt, ... are kind of vibrating. In Aperture 3, it is ok. Is that a known problem with IMovies ?
Lombarr1.

I have seen that in older editions - like iMovie 6 - especially when using pics at a high resolution - the water or sky seemd to shimmer. Funny I'm using iMovie 11 now and some things I liked better in 6, but you bring to mind something that bugged me (though people would ask - "How did you get that to happen?")

Is this a Flash component or a Flex component? What's the

Problem with GRID NAVIGATION EFFECTS WITH JQUERY

Hi All,
Im having problem with this image gallery with navigation (please see link below to see running demo). I am trying to use the 'Row move' style but am having problems getting the function to work. I have the images and everything set up fine but the actual function/navigation isn't working. I have downloaded all the relevant files to my computer but nothing happens when i click on the arrows. Also all of the 20 images are showing instead of just the 2 rows of 3? There should be 2 rows of 3 iamages showing then when the arrows are clicked the next two rows are shown and so on.

Not sure what example you are using but it looks like you have missed out a couple of important <divs> in your code which surround the main <div>:
If the case of example five:
<div class="content example5'>
<div id="tj_container" class="tj_container">
MAIN STUFF GOES HERE
</div>
</div>

Problems with playback/buffering effecting downloads

Problem seems to be the videos on sites like YouTube where the video buffers as it's playing, then it keeps stopping where the player stops and I have to manually move the video position back a bit before it will continue to buffer. And it seems to be a problem with the video downloaders like Freemake and Realplayer where because of this, during the video downloads, the download will quit and not finish. How can I fix this?

Try AntVideoDownloader (for Firefox - it doesn't work with IE) It downloads MUCH FASTER than anything else I've used, and you can keep watching while you download.

How can I create a Tilt-shift effect in Elements 13?

I tried it as I did in Elements 9, but I probably forgot how. It won't work
Anyone?

Thks. I have the Dutch version and although in the Netherlands 'Tilt-shift' is a commonly used term, Adobe Netherlands decided to call it 'kantelen en verschuiven', which is a literal translation (very few will understand).
