Rendering Light?

So I'm really new to everything that is Final Cut Studio 2. I'm especially fascinated with the Lights in Motion. Every time I add a light it just turns all the 3D objects a yellow-orange color and I'm unable to fully enjoy the effects of adding a light. I've looked exhaustively for a solution. Is it a hardware or software issue? I have a feeling it's because I'm using a MacBook but if it's not I'd very much like to be able to use lights! Thanks for any help you could offer!
MacBook   Mac OS X (10.4.10)   2 GHz Intel Core 2 Duo 2GB RAM
MacBook   Mac OS X (10.4.10)   2 GHz Intel Core 2 Duo 2GB DDR2 SDRAM
MacBook   Mac OS X (10.4.10)  

I have bad news for you friend. MacBooks are not supported inside Motion. I'm really disappointed that my 4 day old laptop won't run the software I just installed (with no warnings by the way). I opened up a project I created on my old Powerbook G4 and found that the lights were not being rendered on screen. So I tried rendering to a movie thinking that it would render them that way. Nope. Just a completely blank video. Solid black and nothing else.
I'm surprised that there was no warning of any kind throughout the process. Aperture won't install if you don't have enough ram so why does Motion install if it won't run on the hardware? (oh, by the way, don't bother using Color either)

  • Will URLS (Unified light speed) improves the current app. perf. as well ?

    Hi,
    We are using ABAP webdynpro application that encapsulates Interactive PDF as well. But it's performance is not good.
    Normally it takes 30-50 seconds when user opens the workitem from UWL which further calls the webdynpro application and shows the pdf to user.
    My question is if we go for EHP1 for NW that will give Unified Rendering Light Speed in Web Dynpro ABAP  then will this technology helps to improve the current webdynpro application performance or only the new applications that will be built using this.
    Please suggest me for this or tell me the other way to improve the performance of webdynpro application.
    Thanks,
    Rahul

    Hi Rahul,
    The new light speed rendering engine is the rendering framework to render the Webdynpro applications. Therefore there is nothing where by you specify that a particular application is developed using the Light speed rendering engine.
    In other words to answer your question, EHP1 will improve the performance for all the applications whether developed on EHP1 or developed prior to EHP1.

  • Lighting effects won't fully render

    When I try to render lighting effects there is a horizontal gap in the middle of the image where the lighting effects do not render. Never had trouble rendering 3d or other things. Is this a defect in the software? Windows 7 64bit, Photoshop CC 2014, processor Intel i7 3.4 GHz, RAM 16 GB, and Video card GeForce GTX 560 Ti VRAM 1GB.

    Sure do. I keep my drivers are up-to-date. I'ts a good card and not too old. It renders lighting effects vdery fast but not completely - a narrow rectangular gap in middle. Some gaps are larger than this.

  • Photoshop cs4 crashing on saving

    hi,
    My problem
    i have a problem with photoshop crashing on me, in particular when saving it also crashes when doing a large task e.g... rendering lighting effects, running a batch web gallery, site-grinder and trying to perform an action.
    After past trouble shooting (described below) if i opened photoshop through bridge (bridge open on selected photo double click to open photoshop with photo) can do minor edit, and when trying to save it crashes!! very sad .. i found that if i made sure i opened photoshop first, then open selected photo i could save ... as of late am getting back to original problem of crashing regardless of opening procedure upon trying to save work. sigh .. (i have not added anything new, just the same as before.) at the moment saving is a bit of a hit or miss .. i hold my breath saving!!
    i make sure that there is a little as possible of other software open at same time .. generally just mail, fire-fox and bridge.
    i let photoshop open fully on own with out any disturbances .. e.g. checking mail or doing anything else on comp at same time .. the same goes for quitting or running anything automative.
    I am only having this problem in photoshop.
    i have spoken to mac support and they say that they can not help as is only happening in photoshop.
    i have run disk utilities and comp all fine.
    I have photoshop cs4 extended running on a macbook pro, version 10.4.11.

    i run photoshop in rosetta. i have a plugin called Lucis Art that requires this.
    i also have a plugin called fluid mask 3
    all these are legal copies i have paid for.
    i have no additions actions, brushes installed etc .. normal fonts + only a couple of extra's - legal versions (edwardian script, sanvito, country garden) have tested to see if fonts installed are corrupt and don't appear to be.
    my past trouble shooting.
    i created a whole new user on mac and trashed old user started everything from fresh, with no plugins, tested all when installing, re-setting presets on opening photoshop. there was another along those lines but can't remember.
    i hope i have provided you with enough information to help me. i have read somewhere that it could be a scratch disk issue ... not sure but would think this was enough ..
    i desperately need to have my programs working and hope someone out there can help me!
    PLEEEEEAAAASE :)
    Danielle

    Hello,
    I'm actually having a similar problem to Danielle's. I googled "Photoshop CS4 Saving Issues," and this was one out of two things that popped up!
    I'm editing a wedding with CS4. I just switched to the trial version and am purchasing in about a week or so. Have been having no issues until the past couple of days. I drag a series of JPEG photos from CS4 Bridge into Photoshop. I edit a JPEG photo with some actions (thereby creating layers), hit "Save As" and I hit "JPEG." It automatically wants to save that file as a "copy" but I delete copy because I want it to save over that file.
    Typically up pops a box saying "Cancel" or "Replace." About 70% of the time it works, but 30% of the time that box with "Cancel" and "Replace" comes up blank, and I have to force quit Photoshop because it freezes.
    I originally thought the problem was my new terabyte hard drive, so I stopped editing on that. Now I'm editing on my actual iMac hard drive (which has 100GB available). But it still keeps happening. Now I'm thinking it
    has to be a CS4 issue, but I have no idea what. Could it be the actions I'm using? The number of files I open at once? I can't figure it out. I'm not super computer savvy, so I'm hoping someone can help!
    Many thanks in advance,
    Lisa

  • ABAP Webdynpro: Capturing keystroke event

    Hello,
    There is a potential requirement to capture a keystroke event from a SAP standard webdynpro text box and provide a character count in a custom UI display text box on number of characters remaining.
    From initial research - it looks like this may be possible with Unified Rendering Light Speed in WebDynpro ABAP?
    http://help.sap.com/SAPhelp_nw73/helpdata/en/74/0beccf62a7425ab9e1b2077fa1bc6e/frameset.htm
    If it is possible, how exactly would it be implemented.  (Which event / action would be used?) 
    It appears this can be activated and used on existing SAP standard webdynpros? 
    Thank You,
    Mike

    try something like this...
    BufferedReader br = new BufferedReader(new InputStreamReader(System.in));
    String s;
    s = br.readLine();
    if(s.equals("R")){
    if(s.equals("R")){
    you also can use s.equalsIgnoreCase("R") if u dont care if its capital or not

    Hello Thomas.
    I got some questions for you.
    I think you are a great expert on SAP Development Subject.
    I saw the webdynpro tutorials that you appended on this board.
    When I saw the tutorial there were some persons work with me.
    And they were suprised with the beautiful graphics. It's M~uch better than the webdynpro Screens( like colours or Designs) that I use until now.
    So. I want to change my webdynpro development enviroment excatly the same thing as the tutorial's one.
    And I found there is URLS. That means Unified Rendering Light Speed.
    It changes Some of webdynpro's development attributes.
    And I also think it can spoils some or all the webdynpro components that existed before I applied URLS.
    I have two questions.
    one of the questions is this. If I apply URLS on my system, whether the system does get any negative effedcts from the applying.
    The other question is this. I have a experience that use NWBC. And the Tutorial's GUI looks similar to NWBC. I want to know the GUI's name and What should I do if I use it on my system.
    Component Version - ECC 6.0
    Enhencement Package Version 3
    Thank you for your concern and reading.
    I deeply Appreciate you,
    Regards,

  • Composing  or replying letter space problem in mail

    I have been noticing that whenever I compose or reply to a mail when I type the first few words the letter spacing is correct, then about the sixth or seventh word the letter spacing increases. Very weird as I was thinking maybe somewhere I hit a key that increases the letter spacing. But after rebooting I still have the same thing.
    any help?

    And in addition to this, I noted another text rendering problem where highlighted mailbox text is displayed very thin when compared to unhighlighted text. Under Medium rendering mode, OS X always renders light text on darker background thicker than it would a dark text on light background.

  • P2 Proxy generation using Compressor/Qmaster

    Howdy. We bought an Intel XServe to generate proxies for Final Cut Server when it ships (now that looks like...never) but while we wait we decided to use that server for MPEG-2 encodes, etc. Well, now I have an interesting problem.
    We are exploring a P2 workflow. What I would like to happen is a shooter will come back from a shoot and use P2Genie to automatically suck off the MXF files to a folder on my XSan. I want Compressor to then create a proxy of the footage so the producers can do paper edits from their desktop. I found a cool plugin called "Calibrated" (calibratedsoftware.com) that allows QuickTime to view MXF files. So my thinking is now Quicktime can see the files, Compressor should be able to flip them - right? Well, not so much.
    You can't create a droplet on a server that is your Qmaster "Cluster controller" because it doesn't have a "real" version of compressor. You would need to submit the batch from an editstation (as far as I can tell). Anybody have any experience doing something like this? I can't wait for FinalCut Server because it's vaporware until it ships. Even if you have no experience with P2, if you have automated compressor renders using something like Applescript it might help me.
    Thanks in advance.

    I setup qmaster via sys prefs. Did a custom one. Set it to 4 instances already :-/
    Goto advanced tab. Select show qmaster in status bar.
    That way you can easily see what process is rendering on how many instances from the menu bar.
    rendering with qmaster on shake I get the 4 rendering lights on all the machines.. same with sending a compressor job. FCServer seems to just use one.
    Have selected the FCServer Cluster in Admin on the client app already.
    hmm... maybe its because its sending the jobs to qmaster as low priority ?

  • Add 3D Modeling, Simulation, and Animation to LabView

    I am posting to announce the availability of RoboWorks software.
    RoboWorks is an easy to use software tool for 3D modeling, simulation
    and animation of any physical system. It provides an inexpensive
    alternative to hardware (especially robotic) and brings 3D simulation
    to every desktop. When using RoboWorks you will benefit from:
    * Extremely intuitive model development
    * High quality, fully interactive 3D graphics
    * Lightweight files that conserve disk space
    * Full animation, even while building your model
    * Interfacing with popular software packages
    Most analysis and visualization software such as Matlab, MathCad, and
    LabVIEW support graphics limited to charts and graphs. RoboWorks adds
    3D modeling a
    nd animation capabilities to these software packages. Now
    you can do your analysis in the software of your choice and visualize
    and animate your results in RoboWorks.
    RoboWorks supports interactive animation via the keyboard (animate as
    you build your model), through a data file, or through RoboTalk.
    RoboTalk is an Open Source applications programming interface that
    allows programs running on any platform that supports TCP/IP to
    interact with and control RoboWorks models in real time. For example,
    your control program running on Linux can now control your mobile robot
    simulation in RoboWorks in real-time.
    RoboWorks comes with full-featured help and a variety of sample models
    such as those shown at left. Also included are sample RoboTalk
    programs, LabVIEW support, program-interfacing support through DLL's
    and RoboTalk source code for non-supported platforms.
    For more information email us at [email protected] or visit
    www.newtonium.com.
    Platforms: Win 95/98/NT/2000. Any system
    with TCP/IP for RoboTalk.

    Before you buy.

    Well, what you mention in your two sentences is somewhat of an Oxymoron. 3D modeling and animation, decent software and simple to use don't belong in the same sentence let alone paragraph. This is a FCP forum but I'll answer with my 2cents as I am a motion graphic artist that does 3D animation. There are about 6 different 3D applications that are worth their salt. Maya, 3ds Max, Softimage, Cinema 4D, Houdini and Blender. All are quite capable. None are what I would call simple to use. If you want to do 3D animation you need skills in modeling, texturing, rendering, lighting, rigging, animation, dynamics, drawing and script programming just to get started. If you are not up to spending the time and effort in having someone train to learn these skills and to spend the $$ for the hardware and software, what I would recommend is outsourcing your initial projects to get you started so you get an appreciation for what is really required to do the job and then once you understand all that is needed, you will have a better understanding of what software would fit for what you are trying to accomplish.
    BTW I do freelance work.

  • SSD Advice W530

    Dear All,
    I am just configuring my Lenovo W530 now. I am definetely wanting to upgrade to SSD. However, I am unsure whether to configure it with a 128 ssd or an HDD to start with.
    When I talked to a few other people,  I was told that getting the HDD at SATA 3.0 Gb/s would make a faster SSD (say Samsung 830 or Vertex 4) run at a rate lower then its maxium capacity because the adaptors would not allow it.  Thus, I was going to get the 128gb SSD put in to start and upgrade the size to a 512 Samsung to get max speeds. Is this the right thing to do? Or should I save the money and just get the HDD. Would appreciate any help. 
    Thank You

    Hi jcyanksceo,
    Thank your for your post and welcome to the commnuity. Choosing between HDD and SSD can be very tricky. I believe this all bils down to what you're really comfortable with really. Personally I do not have nor have I tested the SSD, simply because of the size it offers. Though I i do believe gradually the size will grow further and if i the size of the SSD fits the amount i need I'll definetly get one :-D. 
    However in regards to your question, as compared to the HDD to the SSD, based on the number of people i've spoken with alot of them prefer to have the SSD installed on their machine. Some even have an SSD and a HDD running side by side. A friend of mine has one installed on his machine and based on his review, he recommends it highly   because of these reason as he put puts it,
    Faster boot up time
    Loads within 30sec
    Faster File Searches
    Searches files 5X faster than the usual HDD
    Faster file transfer time
    According to my friend, Huge files seem to transfer 10 minutes faster than his old Hdd
    Faster Application Loading
    Increase performance in application
    According to him when he ran the Anti Virus, it didn't lag his machine and scanning was a breeze.
    Reduce Power Consumption
    Faster Video-Editing rendering
    Light and portable
    Does not put additionl weight to the machine.
    I know This is not much information but I am basing this on my friend experience rather than mine. I hope this give somewhat of an idea on the decision.
    Do let me know should you require further assistance.
    Regards

  • Webdynpro ABAP and Light Speed Rendering Engine Performance reports

    Hello,
    We will be applying the NW EhP1 and ERP EhP4 in November this year.
    I am very much excited about the new Lightspeed rendering technology that SAP has delivered with Webdynpro ABAP.
    Has anybody installed this already and can you comment about the performance of Webdynpro ABAP AFTER activating this new rendeing engine?
    regards,
    Atul Kulkarni

    We have implemented the EHP1 for NW 7.0 and ERP EHP4 back in May 2009.  The performance of web dynpro  applications is much better with the new rendering engine. The new name is living up to it's character of speed of light.
    The usability of the application has increased with the new trade show plus theme. For example pink background for fields with errors. Access Keys and Hot Keys are very useful, specifically if you are migrating legacy applications from systems/languages which rely heavily on access keys.

  • Why "Lighting Effects.plugin" in FIlter folder does not appear in the Rendering menu?

    Photoshop CS5 - I need to work with the "Lighting Effects.plugin".
    The plug-in is correctly installed into Adobe Photoshop CS5.1>Plug-ins>Filters but it NOT APPEAR rolling down the RENDERING menu!!
    How can I make it visible?
    Thank you

    That particular filter was not updated/upgraded to 64 bits, therefore you need to launch Photoshop as a 32-bit application.
    http://help.adobe.com/en_US/photoshop/cs/using/WS82af097c4236e2eb70aae8412fa75dc285-8000.h tml
      In 64-bit versions of Mac OS 10.5 and later, some older, optional plug-ins are available only if Photoshop is running in 32-bit mode:
    In the Finder, choose Go > Applications.
    Expand the Photoshop folder. Then right-click the Photoshop application icon, and choose Get Info.
    In the General section of the Info window, select Open In 32-bit Mode. 
    Close the Info window, and restart Photoshop.
    For more information, see 64-bit operating system benefits and limitations in Photoshop.
