Scaling the camera causes stability problems

I just started using the Scale property of the Camera to adjust framing and am seeing some odd behavior.
• Crashes during rendering
• RAM previews render, but do not play (http://discussions.apple.com/thread.jspa?messageID=11270955&#11270955)
Anyone else having trouble with a scaling camera?

What keyframes? How are they being applied? Can a behavior be substituted and if so, do the problems persist?
The keyframes are applied to the camera Scaling, by hand. There is no behavior that I know of for this.
Andy Neil wrote:
You mentioned a sweep. Have you tried the sweep behavior?
I am using the Sweep behavior. The problem manifests if one attempts to use camera scaling in any way.

However, I can say with relative certainty that you shouldn't have bugs to deal with by enlarging the other elements in your project. If those elements are animated (and don't just appear animated due to a moving camera), then they'll need to be tweaked of course, and it would add time to your project. But to me that's still preferable to crashing.
Certainly better than crashing. I tried the idea of manipulating the size of the objects, layers and such, and it does not lend itself to this particular project. No bugs came up, just disruption and complication of everything else in the project.
In summary, here is what I know so far:
1. It is very difficult to do cool camera moves when the camera's point of origin does rest on the focal plane.
2. It does not appear possible to make #1 happen when using a scaled null camera target object for framing.
3. Scaling the camera itself is buggy. Best to avoid it for complicated projects.

  • IMac 27" (mid 2010): Will replacing the HD cause fan problems?

    Hi,
    I have an iMac 27" (mid 2010). My HD is broken, and I'd like to replace it. I've already installed an SSD, so replacing the HD shouldn't be much of a problem.
    However I've read that replacing the HD causes the fan to spin up all the time. Some sites say this started one generation later, but some remain unspecific or say that this problem affects all iMacs. Before I replace my HD, I'd like to know what to expect.
    So my question is: in my 2010 iMac, can I replace the HD without causing fan problems (provided I put the temp plug in the right place )?
    Best regards,
    F

    OWC is mistaken. I don't know why they keep saying that. (I'm not even certain the OWC blog linked above related to using the same make drive on the late 2009s was ever correct. I had a long phone conversation with an upper level WD tech some time ago who said that the originals were special ordered by Apple.) Those drives have Apple proprietary firmware which puts the temp sensor output to the jumper block, and you cannot just replace with a drive of the same manufacturer. A non-Apple WD drive will not have that connection at the jumper block.
    Two possibilities: Get an external stick-on temp sensor that will work with your model or use SSD Fan Control.

    If I'm mistaken and you do get it to work directly with a replacement WD drive I will be pleasantly surprised, since I have a Late 2009 which will need a new drive sooner or later. Please post back with your results.

  • DLM Is the main cause of problems.

    The DLM does a good job of keeping lines stable....BUT it is a pain if any local road works concerning the power to houses is gong on.
    Imo if the power goes off for any reason the DLM should not lower the line profiles of the lines,it should be able to do a quick test when power is back on in the area,before taking action.
    My profile has dropped from 74.77 to 71.33 because there are electrical repairs being done in the road in my street.
    Without DLM it would not be a problem.

    Inigma123,
    I agree that using the web manager is better than a switch off and on method,but if the power is then cut again it does a complete shutdown which then triggers the DLM,so it`s just a vicious circle.
    Btw,I use a 2750n unit and also a cat6 RJ11 cable to my master socket.
    But without DLM,there would not be any problems with profiles being lowered in the first place.
    A line is only as good as it`s length and quality,so why do BT even bother with having DLM,?,everyone should just be able to switch off the lot at anytime and know that it will be the same when switched back on,like any other device.

  • Exporting sliced webpage to DM- Colums created causing editing problems

    I sliced the buttons on the menu bar and exported the home
    page to DW. However, when I add images or text in the body of the
    homepage in DW the whole document gets chopped up and misalligned.
    The colums cut across the body of the page causing this problem.
    You can see the colums only when you click on the body of the home
    page. Is there a way to make the colums that were added to the
    sliced images (upon export to DW) smaller? If there is a way to get
    rid of them totally, that would be even greater. Thanks for your
    help.

    Bad way to create a web site. Fireworks is an image
    processing program, DW
    is a HTML editing program.
    Create your web site in DW, create supporting graphics in
    Fireworks. Even
    though Fireworks will create html code, it doesn;t do it well
    and the
    results will be sloppy in any of the major browsers.

  • When I got a new iPhone5, I experienced short battery life, and system sofware issues were not the cause. The camera also takes a blury picture regardless of lighting and I have the black one. Has anyone else experienced similar problems?

    When I got a new iPhone5, I experienced short battery life, and system sofware issues were not the cause. The camera also takes a blury picture regardless of lighting and I have the black one. Has anyone else experienced similar problems?

    What makes you so sure it isn't software?
    The camera can be focused by take the point of focus on the touch screen.
    If it is new as you said, it should be under warranty. Make a Genius Bar appointment or contact Apple with a repair request.

What on earth is happening? I am on PS CS6. I might point out everything was working normally up to  yesterday, when this first started.
    I recently changed computer to 64bit from 32bit, not sure if this causing  the problem or not. Any help would be appreciated.

    Also please give exact versions of Photoshop CS6 (13.what.what), of Bridge and of your OS.
    Thanks.

  • Camera raw update problem loaded on cs6 32bit but not the default 64bit.

    Hi to all.
    Can you help?  I recently updated to 8.8 camera raw after buying a new camera and there was a problem with the installation.  It told me that there was a problem writing to cs6.  I clicked ignore an the installation completed.  The problem is that it has updated to the 32bit version but still shows 7.1 on the 64bit (default).  I am running on windows 7 64 bit.  Any hel[p with a solution would be appreciated.
    Thanks
    Update
    I did a bit more research on the forum and found a discussion referring to pse which gave instruction to open the archive on the camera raw exe. file and manually copy the 8bi files into the correct location in the C drive eg:
    C:\Program Files (x86)\Common Files\Adobe\Plug-Ins\CS6\File Formats
    C:\Program Files (x86)\Common Files\Adobe\Plug-Ins\CC\File Formats    and
    C:\Program Files\Common Files\Adobe\Plug-Ins\CC\File Formats
    C:\Program Files\Common Files\Adobe\Plug-Ins\CS6\File Formats
    Wait for it this didn't work and completely removed camera raw from the about plugin menu on ps6 64 bit.  It worked on cs6 32 bit.
    The solution was to then reinstall the plugin via the installation .exe file and all was back as it should be.   The only problen now is that adobe bridge has the camera raw preferences greyed out.....I am working on a fix for this and will post if I find it.  I hope this helps someone.

    Hi Michelle
    I am new to the forum so I apologise.  I should have mentioned in my update that the installer that fixed the problem was the ACR 9.0.  I had originally used the 8.8 installer which caused the problem from ACR 7.1.
    Initially the installer didn't work  64 bit version still had 7.1 but it installed ACR 9.0 on the 32 bit.  I then proceeded to manually unzip the exe file ACR 9.0 and coped the 8bi file to the locations stated in my update.  This didn't affect the 32 bit cs6 but completely removed ACR from the 64 bit.  I re ran the ACR 9.0.exe file and everything was fixed.
    I hope that this makes sense.  I have now developed a problem on Bridge though.  I can open raw file in photoshop but I can't view previews and the camera raw preferences are greyed out.  I have read elsewhere that other people have had the same problem.

    only half of the body just below the camera and steel side of camera side is getting heated up just after 10 , 15 mins of usage i my iphone  4 is it normal...as earlier the body was not heating up even after 2 hours....the problem started after updating to 6.1.2
    iPhone 4, iOS 6.1.2

    Hi, did you ever solve this problem?
    My 1 year old -- ha! one month out of warranty -- iPhone 4 has been having a nearly identical problem over the past few days.
    It started by dying completely so I had the battery replaced, thinking it was simply battery issue.
    It then worked again for a moment but started doing exactly what you describe, going through a reset cycle (longer than 30 seconds but who's counting). And it felt quite warm.
    Did hard reset, plugged into wall charger and MBP USB but the new battery wouldn't even get a full charge (a whopping 92% after nearly two days). It would even lose battery when plugged in if I opened an app. And all the while plugged in, if I left the phone on, it would cycle through these resets. So I turned it off to try to charge it.
    Now suddenly, it's dead again. Totally black, and hard reset does nothing. Up until two days ago there was nothing wrong whatsoever with this phone! And I hadn't even installed a new app that could be the root of the issue. No idea whatsoever what caused this.
    Any help would be much appreciated!!

    I have an iPhone 5 and just recently when I opened the camera there is a big black border around the screen causing the picture itself frame to be smaller I don't know what I did to cause this or what I can do to make it go away can anyone help/

    First off, try a reset of the phone. Hold the sleep/wake and home buttons together until you see the Apple logo and then release. After the phone restarts, see if the problem persists.

    I have a problem when iPhone 5 includes the camera in the dark on the screen appear mlenki point that wink. what is it?

    I still don't have any idea what caused the problem. It didn't go away when I re-synced. However, when I completely shut down the iPod (64GB Gen4) by pressing and holding the ON/OFF button until it gave me the red 'slide to turn off' control, and then rebooting it from scratch the problem went away.
    It looks like there was some conflict between the system and the app that is going to be quite difficult to find. If it happens again I'll try to be more observant of the conditions and report more information.

    I am trying to import cr2files from the camera into lightroom 5 and keep getting an error message saying Lightroom can not read the files and therefore will not import them.  Has anyone had a similar problem….thanks

    If you are having the same problem, i.e. a disk permission problem, open your favorite search engine and search on, "change disk permissions", and I think you'll find plenty of information on how to fix the problem. This is a Lightroom forum. Your problem is with your operating system. There is no sense in rewriting instructions that are already available if you do a simple search.

    I get a black screen on the camera app on my iPod touch? Is there a solution? Resetting only helped for a few days, the problem comes back.
    Camera works, with the side buttons it takes pictures.
    Although I'm not able to see on the screen.

    First try a restore from backup
    If problem still occurs try a restore to factory defaults/new Pod.
    If still occurs likely a hardware problem and an appoitment at the Genius Bar of an Apple store is in order.

    BUMP
    Yes, I just get that message. I don't see how I could investigate this problem.
    I didn't mention that this happened when I was consolidating my library, not copying files to another computer.
    In other words, I'm using a "normal" itunes procedure, itunes won't complete it, and won't tell me exactly why or how to figure out how to fix it...
    Is there at least some easy way to tell which files were successfully copied to my itunes music folder so I can work on moving the uncopied files?
    Can anybody help me?
