Replacing media in timeline with Photoshop layer...

In AE, I can option drag & drop an element into a keyframed clip in the timeline and all attributes & clip length are maintained. In Motion, there doesn't seem to be a way to do this. In the media tab, the layer shows up as a comp of all layers in the psd file, not the one I imported. I would just like to use the same animation with different media rather than recreate it with every new object I add to the timeline. Anyone find this shortcut ????

Apologies for the confusion...
When I use the import function from the File>import menu it allows me to import an indivdual layer, but it appears as a merge under the media tab. So when I attempt to copy a keyframed layer to reproduce the same animation with different media, the exchange results in the merged file as the replacement rather than the individual layer. I've tried this twenty different ways, no luck. In short, I would like to take a layer with keyframed animation and duplicate it as a new layer and relplace it with new media i.e. individual photoshop layers. This is a basic funtion in AE. Sorry if this still isn't clear...

Weird things happening with photoshop layer duplication

Hi there
I'm running PS 2014.2.2 on Mac OS 10.10.2
I am trying to duplicate some type layers from one file to another - I highlight the layers in File 1, right click to 'duplicate layers' and select file 2. The layers appear in file 2 in the layer palette but are not on the file - I have checked to see if they are behind another layer and double clicked on the 'T' icon to see if I can select the type. I have switched off all other layers and the duplicated type layers are definitely not there. Just for good measure I dragged and dropped the layers and this does work. I have also tried making a copy of File 2 to see if the file itself was corrupted - this doesn't work either. Finally, I have tried duplicating other layers from File 1 to File 2 - this DOES work. Finally finally, I created a totally different type layer and tried copying that - this doesn't work!
I have uninstalled PS via CC and re-installed (not checking 'remove prefs*) - problem persists.
Anyone got any bright ideas?
Martin

Genius - you may the rest of the day off!!
I, on the other hand, am a complete idiot. File 1 is 1500px deep and File 2 is 1000px. Duplicating layers in this way places the layers EXACTLY in the position they were in the original - in this case 300px below the canvas. Revealing all - weel, reveals all
A thousand thanks

Problems with Photoshop CS2
I originally purchased this software several years ago. At time I was running Microsoft Windows XP.
This computer recently was replaced with a Dell running Windows 8.I reloaded my CS2 on this computer & it ran fine with a few exceptions as follows;
when the software comes up initially I get a message that says “could not complete your request because of program error”. Hitting OK allows me to continue using the software .
When I try to activate a function using CTLR or ALT keys I get this message “required application failed to load and the product cannot continue. Please reinstall the application”. This causes the application to abort.
Reloading my CS2 continues to generate the same messages when I depress the CTLR or ALT keys.

Your original copy is obsolete and Adobe is offering a free replacement you are entitled to. Download and use that and that should clear it up for you.

Help with Photoshop CS2 files MUCH larger than normal, possibly not compessing layer masks

Has anyone else come across a problem where Photoshop files grow in size much faster than expected, especially when adding layer masks?
Normally when you add a layer mask the file size grow a small amount if the layer mask is mostly all white or mostly all black. In this case it's like the file size is growing exponentially, almost as if the layer mask isn't being compressed at all.
The file in question although large, is similar dimensions, resolution, and number of layers as other projects that have been worked on and all the usual thing have been checked like resolution, colour mode, bit depth and the image has also been cropped so there's nothing outside of the page.
The file has been checked on 2 different macs and exhibits the same behaviour and Photoshop preferences have been deleted and re-created and we've tried copying the file by dragging layers to a new document of the same dimensions with no success.
The only things we're certain of is that file size grows dramatically when adding layer masks in particular and layers in general.
The file was created by someone else, if that might be a factor, though the file has been "saved as.." with no improvement.
Any ideas?
TIA
Tom
The only

Maybe it has something to do with "Maximize Compatibility". If that's checked when you save, it might add a lot of weight to your file, even with just a simple layer mask. Don't know, haven't done any testing, just a thought.
Edit: Just did a quick test:
1. flat image saved as PSD = 5.2 MB
2. same image converted to a layer with simple layer mask, saved as PSD = 5.8 MB
3. same layer mask image saved WITH "maximize compatibility" = 10.7 MB
So adding "maximize compatibility" nearly doubled this test file. Could be it?

Strange noise problem with music layer after replacing the music file using script in CS6

Hey guys,
I got a strange problem. Sometime when I import a music file, or replace a music footage with another music file using the "replace()" or "importFile()" method, the music layer added one second noise at the beginning. like this,
Does anyone know what's going on here?
I'm using After Effects CS6 windows Server 2008 64bit.
Thanks in advance!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Hi Myleniu,
Thanks for your replay. Actually, it doesn't matter what makes up my comp, this problem just randomly happen when I render any comp. For example, I have a comp named "noise", I run a script to replace the music then render it, I use a "for" loop to do this 5 times and the music noise problem just happen one time.
I'm starting to think that win server might be the problem.

Hi Sridhar,
I would like to Replace the Charecter values with numeric value in my string.
Exp : first in my string I am having the value like this : 'ABCD1234' ( may be any char and num values ), and I want too get it by '99991234'.
So, if i understand you correctly, you want to replace all characters in a string with 9 as in the above example, irrespective of position of the character, if so try with the below code.
DATA: l_str TYPE string.
l_str = 'ASKHSIUDNSBDKJSDH124312431243124saasdfsf'.
REPLACE ALL OCCURRENCES OF REGEX '\D' IN l_str WITH '9'.
IF sy-subrc EQ 0.
WRITE: l_str. "Result will be 9999999999999999912431243124312499999999
ENDIF.

Livetype files associated with Photoshop in timeline

Over the past week some of my livetype files in the timeline have become associated with Photoshop rather than livetype. By this I mean that when I right click and choose open in editor, they try to open in Photoshop rather than Livetype. They also show in the timeline as the same shade of bluey green as an image file would.
The file extension is still .ipr and within the Finder the file is still set to open with Livetype. If you get the item properties within Final Cut on the files in question (Right click, item properties, format) there type shows as a "Still". The ones that open correctly in Livetype show as a "Clip".
I made all these files at the same time one after the other so I can't see why 3 have come out wrong and 7 have come out right.
Anyone have any ideas?

Right I have just realised what has happened...
In livetype the files durations (In and Out Markers) have all changed to 0.1 of a second instead of the 10 they were originally set to when I created the file.
Now thats solved does anyone know why this has happened?

I recently upgraded our iMac to Yosemite OS and now have a problem with Photoshop Elements 11: the move tool selects an image or text layer, but then I try to drag the selection somewhere else on the page and it snaps back to the original location, however the arrows will move it OK. Also I cannot drag the selection to another photo in the photo bin as before.

Can the Adobe Photoshop Layer Support with Captivate 4 be use to show a Zoom & Pan Effect?

I'm working with a client that is interested in creating the "Zoom & Pan" effect you get with Camtasia using Captivate 4. I'm not finding enough information to support that this is possible with Captivate 4. The Photoshop Layer Support feature with Captivate 4 comes across as something that may work to some degree however, it is again unclear if it would definitely work to give the zoom & pan effect I am looking for. Would anyone mind explaining this feature in greater detail and/or offering any ideas for how I can show the zoom & pan effect in Captivate 4?

Hi there
LOL, good luck with that!
NOTHING in Captivate will achieve what you are seeing in Camtasia. Sorry, there simply is no comparison. Sure, Captivate has panning while recording, but what you end up with are several herky jerky snapshots of suddenly being in a different screen area. Sort of reminds me of walking through a room while slowly closing and opening your eyes. In other words, you are seeing version 1 of the panning feature. We hope it improves, but it's not there yet.
If you have Camtasia, you could combine it with Captivate for some nice and interesting effects and have the best of both worlds! I do that.
Cheers... Rick

Hello. Layer masks aren't working with Photoshop CC... The brushes gave out, and now the gradients too. Anyone else have this problem?

Hello. Layer masks aren't working with Photoshop CC... The brushes gave out, and now the gradients too. Anyone else have this problem?
Will someone from Adobe please answer if this is a bug.. as I've seen other users post the same issue.
thanks!

I'm experiencing the same issue too. I can't see to use the brush in my clipping mask the same way. It works for a moment, then several minutes in to production it ends up crashing.
I hope this issue is resolved soon. It's definitely frustrating and delaying my production time.

Replacing Media Player with another player

I've had a couple issues with my RoboHelp project's media
files autostarting on some Macs. So, I tried replacing RoboHelps
default Windows Media Player code with Quicktime code. But, in
RoboHelp, when I leave the "HTML" disply and re-enter the "Design"
display, RoboHelp deletes my Quicktime code and replaces it with
its default Windows Media Code. Does anyone know how to over-ride
this?
-Greg

Hello Greg -
I don't use the RH find/replace function - I use stand-alone
software and do the search/replace on the generated files (the
files we publish). Look into your generated code for those
references to Windows Media, copy the string as your "find" and
write your desired string as the "replace" then do "replace all".
There are a number of these programs available and have been
mentioned many times in this forum. One popular tool is FAR from
www.helpware.net but a search will bring up others.
In our situation, I need to replace a couple generated files
(files that are created by RH every time the project is generated).
I took a gen'ed file then modified it and saved it to a separate
project folder. After gen'ing a project we copy the saved/modified
files into the generated project folder then publish.

Will Dell Venue 8 Pro work with photoshop?

I was think about buy Dell Venue 8 Pro, but I want to use photoshop CC as sketchbook on my new-to-be portable tablet. I want use it on the go and in bed...
I don't plan to use tablet as final look.
Will it work?
If you have used it.. How was it platform?
Because I already own firepro desktop that work very well with photoshop CC with too many layer.. ( and zbrush - up to 16 million polygon per sub-tool hee hee)
So I can finish off the job on desktop after tablet.

For those that find this post...yes, Photoshop CC does work extremely well on Dell Venue Pro 8. The only compromise is screen real estate--but aside from a few panel tweaks--everything is fine and surprisingly useable. We ran Adobe Photoshop CC 2014 on a DVP8 and compared it with a Mac Book Pro 2013--the DVP8 (32gig Version) was more responsive and extremely fast (though rendering required by After Effects not recommended DVP8). Make sure to get a Sandisk 64 MicroSDXC (http://amzn.to/1wtydtu)--and the tablet rocks. The programs I use frequently on Dell Venue 8 Pro are: Photoshop, Illustrator, Bridge, Indesign, Muse, Lightroom, Story, Audition and Media Encoder. While we have tried Premiere (projects and media on a USB 3.0 connected external)--some rendering processes were compromised--but not uneusable.
