Rendered effects don't hold on Restart CS4

I opened a CS3 project in CS4 off an external hard drive. It came up fine but I had to rerender all files as expected and of course it generated all new peak files. But when I saved the project and later reopened it - all renders were gone - the red unrendered line was back and the project immediately starting creating peak files again. I tried this numerous times - any ideas? - thanks.

Is it possible you have write behind caching enabled for the external drive and that, as a result, some data is lost (eg renders) when closing down ?
In other words, if you close a project and re-open without powering down anything, renders are OK. But if you power down the external drive and then try again after re-powering, the renders are lost.
If so, it's likely to be a caching issue. Worth trying with write behind caching disabled

  • Ken Burns Effects Don't Work in iMovie HD (I've Tried Everything)

    Version:
    OS X 10.4.10
    iMovie 6
    *Hardware 1:*
    PowerMac G4 Dual 500 Mhz, 1GB RAM, Internal 40GB HDD and Internal 320 GB HDD
    *Hardware 2:*
    PowerBook G4 500 Mhz, 512MB RAM, Internal 20 GB HDD
    Problem:
    This problem occurs on both of my G4 Macs. In iMovie HD, I imported a JPEG from iPhoto with Ken Burns Effects on. The still photo appeared properly in the Clip Viewer initially, but appeared as a black screen in the iMovie Monitor. Once the imported photo with the Ken Burns Effects completed rendering, the clip in the Clip Viewer turned white and appeared as a white screen in the iMovie Monitor. I have tried almost everything I read about in these forums in search of a resolution.
    *Resolutions that Failed:*
    1. The photo is definitely a .jpg
    2. Tried importing the actual .jpg file as well as importing from iPhoto.
    3. QuickTime and all other Software updates have been applied and are running on the most current release.
    4. Repaired disk permissions.
    5. Created, saved and manipulated the iMovie file in the standard Movie Folder on my main internal hard drive. (i.e. – I'm not saving to an external HDD)
    6. Created, saved and manipulated the iMovie file in the standard Movie Folder on my secondary internal hard drive. (i.e. – I'm not saving to an external HDD)
    7. Deleted the 'mac.imovie.plist' file and created a new one.
    8. Attempted to do apply the effects logged on as a different user.
    9. Saved file, restarted machine and reopened numerous times but the problem persists.
    10. Tried a lower resolution photo and the problem persists.
    11. Attempted to import all the photos I planned to use, added transitions to all of the clips and rendered completely. Saved the file, restarted the machine and reopened the file with no change to the blank clips.
    12. The iMovie trash emptying issue did nothing to help.
    *Additional Notes:*
    1. The problem is confined to the Ken Burns Effects in iMovie. I am able to work with true video clips without incident.
    2. Ken Burns Effects operate properly in iPhoto 6 using the slideshow functionality.
    3. I would use iPhoto, but it seems like it would be easier to line up specific sections of an audio track with certain Ken Burns Effects in iMovie. (i.e. – a crescendo at the 16 second mark of the audio track coincides with the end of a 'zoom' on a photo, transition from second 16-17 second mark, new photo at the 17 second mark and pan left to right from 17 second mark to the 25 second mark.) Point is that it lines up precisely with the markers on the audio track, which seems far easier to do in iMovie than iPhoto.
    4. Please help me, I'm going nuts troubleshooting this bug! I can't find any resolution that works.
    Thanks in advance for the help.

    Hmmm. You seem to have tried, without success, most if not all of the methods of resolving a Ken Burns black screen issue.
    Some thoughts that have occurred to me:
    1. Perhaps your G4 500mhz Mac is not fast enough. I think that the minimum spec for iLife '06 is 733mhz. Might have nothing to do with this problem, but I just mention it.
    2. Are the sizes of your images too large, as can happen with some of these new high def cameras? iMovie has trouble working with very large images.
    3. Do you have any 3rd pary plug-ins, particularly in Quick Time, that could be causing a conflict?
    4. Do you have enough disk space for the project to operate?
    5. Have you done a recent Quick Time update? Some users have reported a problem with that.
    6. From your post, it appears that you have continuously worked within the same iMovie file that exhibits the Ken Burns problem. If this is true, try creating a new iMovie project and experimenting with a few clips to see if the problem persists in the new project.
    Ken Burns issues can be very frustrating. I think that you will need to keep trying things until something works. Wish I could be more help, but perhaps some of the tech experts on this forum will have some workable suggestions.
    There is an application called Photo to Movie that reputedly has a far better Ken Burns type of effect. If you can't resolve your problem, you might try downloading that app. I believe that it offers a demo download.
    Good luck.

  • Effects Don't work with Ray-Traced 3D?

    Hello,
    I'm working on a 3D logo for a company, and I'm trying to snaz what I have done with some effects, but the effects don't work. For example, I tried adding the CC Light Wipe Effect, but it will only show up when I switch back to the classic 3D renderer. Google searches aren't exaclty effective when I my serach quiere has "Effects" and After Effects" in it, so I'm forced to come here looking for the answer.
    Are effects supported in this new renderer? If so, how do I get them to work?
    Thanks

    Pre-composing and then switching off Ray-traced rendering in the main comp gives you the ability to apply effects to the pre-comp. This may or may not work for your situation.
    Another option is to pre-render your Ray-traced work and then apply effects to the footage. There's almost always something you can do if you think about it for a while.
    Still another option is to put a 2D adjustment layer above your 3D Ray-traced layer and apply the effect there.

  • Any way of getting hold of InCopy CS4?

    I work for a small publishing department within a much larger institution with no IT budget and no way of upgrading to intel macs so that we can upgrade to CS5 (unless someone wins the lottery). We produce corporate reports to very tight deadlines and have identified InCopy as a way to shorten our production processes and give us some work/life balance back. HOWEVER, we can't get hold of InCopy CS4 any more.
    It is exceptionally frustrating that Adobe is effectively forcing us to upgrade to CS5 - which we are not in a position to do for another couple of years. We're not a cutting edge design agency, but we are subject to some of the same pressures/requirements. Doesn't seem to be a very good way of encouraging people to use your products, if you ask me!

    Nice folks there. I met a few of them last night at the NYC InDesign user group meeting.
    If they can help, that's great.

  • Why don't Hold keyframes work on Audio Level?

    Hi -
    In the past (AE6.5) I recall using Hold frames to keep the Audio Level really low until the exact frame I wanted to bring it up to 0db.  Now in CS4 the Hold keyframes don't work that way.  I wind up using lots of extra keyframes and sliced up layers.  It's pretty messy.
    For example I have a narration where I have to replace one word in the center of a sentence.
    Is there a setting somewhere or, is there a new way to adjust audio levels quickly besides using key frames that someone could tell me about??
    Why don't Hold keyframes work on Audio levels anymore??
    Thanks,
    JL
    AE CS4, Intel Mac, OS10.5.8

    "adjusting your Quicktime settings to use less hardware acceleration and a different audio buffer duration"
    In AE Preferences I have "Audio Hardware" but no mention of QT.  It's currently set on "Built-in Output".
    Under "Output" I have an Audio Block Duration set at 01:00.
    In QT preferences there is nothing about hardware acceleration or buffer duration.
    Are any of these related to what you suggest?

    convert text to movie clip or graphic, set motion tween from
    one place to another and
    on first frame of the tween, select the text and apply blur
    filter. Pretty much it :)

  • I set up the primary language to English while initializing the MBP, but at the log-in page, the language appears to be a foreign language I don't use, after restart, the language turned into English, has anyone come across the same problem

    I set up the primary language to English while initializing the MBP, but at the log-in page, the language appears to be a foreign language I don't use, after restart, the language turned into English, has anyone come across the same problem, and is that normal?

    i have a similar problem...It seems to be tied to my guest account. It is set to Japanese as primary language but my main login is set to English. I tried changing the guest account to english but the change won't hold. It always reverts to Japanese.

  • When syncing with itunes, got error message saying had error and now ipad2 will not do anything other than showing the USB cable with arrow pointing to Itunes on screen.  have done the reset and restart, but still get same thing.

    when syncing with itunes, got error message saying had error and now ipad2 will not do anything other than showing the USB cable with arrow pointing to Itunes on screen.  have done the reset and restart, but still get same thing.  Ipad does not show up in itunes even though cable plugged in.  Have shut down and restarted Windows 7 computer.

    I had done all of that to no avail.  I did call Apple Tech Support and after he suggested I try a USB port in the rear of the Win 7 computer, things starting working again.  I had tried switching the USB port at the front of the machine but that had not helped.  Everything is good to go again.  thanks for  your reply

    It is true that the only way to sync your Mac with iCloud is to upgrad.  You need to be running OS X Lion 10.7.2 or higher in order to sync your Mac with iCloud.  At this point, you can upgrade directly to OS X Mountain Lion from the version of OS X you are now running (10.6.8).   You can purchase and download the Mountain Lion upgrade from the Mac App Store for $19.99.  After upgrading you will see iCloud in System Preferences.  This guide explains how to sync your Mac with iCloud after upgrading: http://www.apple.com/icloud/setup/mac.html.
    Once all your devices are signed into the same iCloud account and you have turned on your iCloud data syncing, you will be able to keep them all in sync using iCloud.  You will still have to sync with iTunes to manage your iTunes media such as music, movies, podcasts, etc.  You will have the option to either continue backing up automatically with your computer when you sync with iTunes, or to back up your iOS devices automatically to iCloud every 24 hours (as long as they are connected to wifi and your chargers).

  • I want replace my desktop with a iPad to do emails and Microsoft office work. Can this be effectively done? What's the downside if any?

    I want replace my desktop with a iPad to do emails and Microsoft office work. Can this be effectively done? What's the downside if any?

    I'll go down your list one by one.
    1. Access mail - which I know that the iPad can do.
    Enough said.
    2. Save an excel or word or ppt of PDF attachment for review.
    You can view these types of documents natively on the iPad as Tgara has mentioned.
    3. Open an review and maybe change a excel or word file.
    There are many apps that allow this.  I personally prefer Apples iWork programs, Pages, Numbers, Keynote.  They tightly integrate with iCloud.
    4. Resave such above files.
    With Pages, Number, Keynote you can save/resave files in iCloud and locally.  Also you could use dropbox to save your files on dropbox and provide a way for you to share a folder with coworkers/family and they can add/view/review files from there and you can see the changes on your device.
    5. Reply to a mail attaching a file.
    This is possible in many ways.  From dropbox, or another app you can email files with the share button.
    6. Be able to rename files and store them in specific folders.
    This goes back to dropbox/iCloud.  iOS doesn't really have a traditional file system.  If you save a PDF it isn't saved anywhere you can just open it.  You would have to open an app that supports view PDFs and select the PDF you wish to view.  The same goes for documents, spreadsheets and etc.
    Hopefully this helps answer your questions.

  • Composite effect don't start automatically with KDE4

    hi,
    so far so good my new Arch + KDE4 is running pretty stable, pretty good and wonderfully fast. However I have this [minor] issue of Compositte effect don't starting automatically with KDE4 log-on, I need to press Ctrl+Shit+F12 twice to activate it after all applications and Nepomuk loads or else I'll have a Plasma crash - which will reload itself with no significant issue to system stability.
    KDE installed are plain KDE packages, not meta and my video card is a ATI HD5750 running latest 10.4-beta catalyst driver.

    Some preferences are no longer there. Someone has posted a way to use Terminal to get the missing preferences. Check this: http://discussions.apple.com/thread.jspa?threadID=1706604&tstart=105

  • P755 and Realtek HD Audio Manager sound effects don't work

    Hi. I have a P755 and the Realtek HD Audio Manager sound effects don't work. Everything seems to be up to date, but the equalizer and environment features have never worked. I am using the Analog stereo out. The Speaker Configuration is Stereo. The only thing that seems to change the audio characteristics is switching from Headphone to Line Out.
