Shadow/highlight effect not available

Running Premiere Pro CC 2014. Trying to manipulate tonality in a clip. With clip selected Effect Control tab only shows motion, opacity and time remapping controls. How do I get Shadow/Highlight to appear in the panel?

I've got "more options" option by an arrow thingie down past "Temporal Smoothing" ... clicking the arrow brings up the tonal-change options.
Curious .. what sort of tonality work are you doing? As I'm wondering if this is the best effect for what you want to use?

Shadows/Highlights effect

When editing HD videos in Premiere Elements 12, the effect known as Shadows/Highlights is automatically applied to a clip when I insert it into the timeline. This effect causes the clip to appear grainy, so I have to delete it for each clip. Is there a setting that I can choose so this effect is not applied automatically?

I have something for you to try.
Go to Edit Menu/Preferences/General and make sure that there is a check mark next to "Show all do not show again messages".
Close out of there.
Drag one of your images from Project Assets (one that has been having the automatic Shadow/Highlight applied to it and has been causing Shadow/Highlight Panel to appear in the Applied Effects Palette without you doing anything.
The result should be the pop up of the Smart Fix dialog with the message about "Fix quality problems in clips? Yes or No. What you do here is important.
First...put a check mark next to "Do Not Show Again" and click No.
When you drag one of your darker image clips to the Timeline, you should not get Shadow/Highlight effect applied to your clip unless you actually do it yourself.
I have road tested this, and it seems to explain your situation.
I believe that you were triggering Smart Fix (whose messages were under the do not show directive and was last left with a Yes to fix quality problems.) And Smart Fix was using Shadow/Highlight as part of its fixes for your photo.
Let us see if this explanation and suggested fix works for you. I think the SG gave you the right direction at the onset but I do not see where it was explored.
Thanks.

Importing project from after effects to premiere, plug in effect not available?

Hello all, Im using cs5. When I import a video project to premiere from after effects, i get an error message saying that an effect plugin from after effects is not available in premiere. Specifically the glow effect. I thought that since after effects had the effect that premiere would too. I'm asking for the college i go to as we are not too familiar with this program and we have a sub for the next few weeks, thanks in advanced !

oh sorry, i didnt notice that the post i posted didnt have really any info, the page froze and the page saved my info, i guess i submitted the wrong post. anyways, this whats going on.
I make an after effects cs5 composition which is a .MOV video i took, roughly 1 minute with the glow effect applied to the video. I then import the composition to premiere, premiere then gives me the error that premiere does not have the glow effect and therefore, won't be applied. below is my specs and here is a link to another post of mine that might possibly have something to do with this. after effects cs5 keylight (1.2) crash with dynamic link error?

Highlight Effect Not Restoring Color

I am trying to the highlight effect in a cluster, and for
some reason the restorecolor is not restoring the color. I have
tried using a finish funciton to set the background color, but it
does not work. I must be missing something.
function shakeandcolor(id)
var hDuration = 1000;
var hStartColor = '#000000';
var hToColor = '#FF6600';
//{ finish: ResetELE(id,hStartColor); } }
var shakecolor = new Spry.Effect.Cluster({ finish:
ResetELE(id,hStartColor) });
var ele = Spry.Effect.getElement(id);
var hEffect = new Spry.Effect.Highlight(ele,{duration:
hDuration, from:hStartColor, to:hToColor, toggle:false,
restoreColor:"#000000"});
var shEffect = new Spry.Effect.Shake(ele);
shakecolor.addParallelEffect(hEffect);
shakecolor.addParallelEffect(shEffect);
shakecolor.start();
function ResetELE(id,reset_color)
var ele = Spry.Effect.getElement(id);
ele.style.position = "relative";
ele.style.top = 0;
ele.style.left = 0;
//ele.style.background = '#000000';
//ele.style.background = reset_color;
}

Why is my execution highlight button not available?

All Debugging buttons are unavailable. they are unavailable in any Vi, even a new blank one. I have tried the following ideas without success.
Vi Properties, execution, Allow debugging is ticked, Rentrant execution is not ticked, and prioriy is not selected as subroutine. Any Ideas?

I can't think of anything that would cause this behavior. Try exiting LabVIEW, deleting your LabVIEW INI file (back it up first, of course) and restarting LabVIEW. If the debugging options work OK, then there's something weird in your INI file. At that point, try removing certain lines from it between exiting and restarting LabVIEW to determine what is causing the weird behavior.
Good luck,

Massive bug by combining Shadow/Highlight and a cross fade

Hi. I found what appears to be a bug by using a cross fade between two clips with the shadow highlight effect. I cross faded two clips (240fps AVCHD from FS700) each with RGB Curves and Shadow/Highlight and sometimes I get this nasty side effect. The side effect is a random white flashing, or rather an erratic application of the shadow/highlight effect. Maybe it's because it is trying to process the effect on footage which is slowly losing opacity due to the cross fade, and as this happens, the colour data changes as a result. This effect may not happen outright when you try it, I think it applies to specific clips, or clips where the shadow number is higher than the highlights or vice versa. It is now happening again in my new edit and this worries me because I like the effect that it gives, but not the buggy side effect.
Here is the video where I first experienced it. It only appears to happen at 2:18, but now in my next video, it's happening in my opening shot.
Rendering with gtx570 & pprocs6.

The problem occurs when two clips that both have Shadow/Highlight adjusment with different values are crossfaded. You get this light dark bands of flickering in the crossfade. It looks horrible.
SOMETIMES, disabling GPU acceleration works. Not always.
Setting the clipping amounts to 0, as opposed to the default of .01 will help with the clip flickering, but NOT the crossfade flikering. It will not help
Using Opacity keyframes as opposed to the Crossfade Video Transition Effect will not help.
The only sure way to solve the problem is to make INTER clips. Render the two clips seperately with all shadow/highlight effects, then replace the clips on your timeline with the rendered clips and THEN crossfade them.
Also, for those of you that simply notice the "sky" in your scenes flickering when using Shadow/Highlight Adjustment, make sure to set at least the Black Clip from .01 to 0. This will stop that annoying flicker throughout the entire clip.

Spotlight or Spot Shadow/Highlight

Is it possible to create a spotlight or spot shadow/highlight effect in FCE with the native effects or filters? I am trying to create something that would look like a "spotlight" was used during filming with the camera (small circle highlighting someone's face).
I was thinking either creating a slight dark overlay over the whole screen with a "cutout" of normal contrast/brightness/color and changing the level opacity. Or a small circle with a lighter color/contrast brightness.
Is this possible within FCE natively or do I need an external filter?

I just figured out a way to do this last night (after much experimentation). In fact I was going to post a message here asking if this is the best way, or is there an easier method?
I'm producing a demo DVD for an entertainer friend, and in some of the clips she wants to use, it would be hard to figure out which of several performers on stage is her at the beginning of the clip. So I figured I'd use a spot shadow like I've seen on TV (where all of the frame is dimmed except for an oval around the primary subject). It is necessary that the spot shadow be able to follow the subject for a bit as she moves, and then fade away after a few seconds to leave the original scene.
Here are the steps I performed to achieve the result. Except as noted, all actions were taken in the timeline.
1. I removed the transitions I had already placed at the beginning and end of the clip (they get replaced later).
2. I turned off the linking between the audio and video tracks and then selected just the video portion of the clip.
3. After verifying that the playhead was at the beginning of the clip, I dragged that video clip to the Canvas window and dropped it on the Overlay panel. The result was a duplicate of the video clip (from v1) in track v2, in perfect alignment. Make sure v2 is enabled.
4. I went to the Browser, selected the Effects tab, opened the Video Filters->Matte folder, and dragged the filter Matte Shape onto the v1 copy of the clip.
5. Double clicked the v1 copy of the clip to display it in the Viewer. With the Viewer Video tab selected, I see a mostly black frame with, with some of the frame's video showing through the selected matte shape.
6. Clicked on the Viewer's Filters tab and opened the Mask Shape section to display its controls.
7. With the playhead at the beginning of the clip, the Canvas shows the original video with no shapes showing. That's because the Opacity of the v2 video is still at 100%.
8. Reduced the v2 clip's video opacity to about 50%. I did this by just dragging the opacity line down in the Timeline. Now the Canvas shows a spot shadow with the current shape parameters.
9. Selected the Oval shape with the popup in the Matte Shape parameters (choices are diamond, oval, rectangle, and round rectangle).
10. Used the Horizontal Scale and Vertical Scale parameters to adjust the shape and size of the oval.
11. With the playhead still at the beginning of the clip, I positioned the spot shadow oval over the subject. To position the shape, click on the “+” button of the Center filter parameter; a small red crosshair appears in the middle of the shape; when I move the mouse pointer over the Canvas, it also changes to a crosshair; with the crosshair mouse pointer, I can drag the spot shadow shape until it is over the subject (note that if the mouse button is released, you have to go click that “+” button again to get the crosshair back).
12. I clicked the diamond button (Ins/Del Keyframe) for the Center parameter to designate the first frame as a Center position keyframe.
13. I scrubbed through the clip, watching the Canvas, and repositioned the spot shadow (see step 11) as necessary to keep up with the subject. Apparently, once you've set the first keyframe, each time you adjust that parameter again FCE automatically generates a new keyframe.
12. I determined where in the clip I wanted the spot shadow effect to fade away. I used the pen tool to add two keyframes to the Opacity of the v2 clip by clicking on two points on its Opacity line. I then dragged the second point up to 100%, which produced a transition from 50% to 100% between those frames in the clip. With the v2 video's opacity at 100%, the spot shadow effect is gone, and you're left with just the original video showing.
13. After verifying that the effect worked as needed, I restored the Cube Spin transitions I was using at the beginning and end of the clip. It was really cool that the spot shadow effect followed the Cube Spin just like I hoped it would.
I hope I didn't miss any critical steps (I'm writing this from memory). But it produced a very nice spot shadow effect that could be animated to stay with the subject. It's actually a lot easier to do than to describe, but I'm still wondering if this was the best way to do it.
Good luck!

Shadow/Highlight Flickers when layered

Last post I saw was ArtsForHearts 12/8/09 having the same problem. It seems as though the use of the Fx Shadow/Highlight on two layers above each other with different settings make one of them flicker. If all the values are the same you are good to go. I like to use it to give a better look to talking heads where the lighting was not the best. I track matte an area over a face with a little Shadow/Highlight. Or multiple layers are used to airbrush zits and enhance the lighting look. It has to be a software problem. Anybody use Shadow/Highlight this way and get flicker and wierd shaded boxes?

You are entitled to your opinion, regarding the forums. I happen to disagree completely, but then that is MY opinion, and is not really germane here.
encouraging that maintenance by users, merging threads, marking solutions
Let's take a look at these:
Non-MOD's cannot maintain the forums. The only exception is that several Adobe employees have MOD consoles, and CAN maintain the forums, but they are not officially MOD's.
They do merge and also branch threads, and quite often.
Only the OP can mark a thread as "Answered," or award points. Even MOD's, and Adobe employees cannot do that.
This forum has NONE of those virtues, and Adobe looks lame as a result despite their disclaimers. So criticism is absolutely appropriate, notwithstanding the potentially good intentions of people who may or may not be volunteering their time with zero compensation of any kind.
Fair enough, though still your personal opinion. However, these product forums are not the appropriate place to point up the issues with the forums. There is a special location for that, the Forum Comments forum, which is fairly active, and is frequented by Adobe-Admin (John C.), who basically runs the forums. John C. is not a MOD, but I feel that he has a MOD console. Jochem van Dieten is the MOD. Any complaints that you have with the forums is best posted there, as they will be seen by people, who run the forums.
Note: sometime in Sept., if things hold, there will be new forum software, though I am not sure if the changes will impress you. Only time will tell.
I'm not sure what the caption "Community Professional" means, though, for Mr. Bellune. Professionals get paid as far as I understand the term.
The Community Professional is a badge awarded to fhose, who have taken and passed either one of the ACA tests, or the ACE test, or the ACI exam. Jeff is a video professional, as producer, videographer, and editor, plus an author of still the best book on Adobe Encore. He is not paid by Adobe. He might get an Adobe baseball cap, or sweatshirt, from time to time, but he gets nothing for his volunteer work on all of the PrPro sub-forums, plus the Encore forum. Besides his real-life business, his tutorials, and his MOD duties, he is also a highly valued contributor to all of those forums.
Lastly, I have no idea why you and Jeff keeping linking over to the help file for the Shadow/Highlight effect. There is absolutely no bit of information there that could lead to any resolution of this issue. It's an example of why people can get so inflamed here; the regulars purport to offer answers (a) without thinking about whether it will actually address the problem; (b) defending Adobe as a starting point; and (c) taking the easiest path of citing already-established generalities.
While I cannot speak for Jeff, my intention was to make sure that you had all of the necessary details on the Effect, so that when you file the Feature Request/Bug Report, you are not reporting OE, regarding a setting. As that does not appear to be the case, then I would file that Bug Report, with all pertinant details. As I said, that will very likely land on Todd's desk, and he will then be able to comment directly on what is being done to fix the Bug.
This is a bug, plain and simple. It dates back years. I have submitted repeated bug reports. Many, many other users have too. This is a simple case of Adobe letting the issue slide. Like a billion others. One tiny example: ever wondered what those Auto Black Levels and Auto White Levels buttons do in the Fast Color Corrector? Absolutely nothing. That's been the case for several years now. Great job, Adobe.
Per your suggestion, I did Google this Bug, and other than the posts, to which you replied, plus one other, did not find the many, many others.
"Billions," are your normally prone to hyperbole, or is this a one-off instance?
If all of the people, who you claim have filed Bug Reports, if there is a fix, I find it so very odd, that Adobe has been dropping the ball, and since forever. I have seen Todd, Dennis, Kevin, Jeremy, Wil and others, jump onto Bugs, and usually within an update, or perhaps two, things get ironed out. I'd file that Bug Report for however many times it is now for you, and then watch those PrPro threads, to get Todd's comments on getting things fixed. Be sure to give all possible details, so that Adobe can duplicate the Bug, and then begin working on it. Unlike some frustrated speculation, I know that Adobe takes Bug reports very seriously.
Good luck, and let's hope that Adobe finally comes through for you.

Drop shadow not available?

Hi everybody, I'm kinda new to illustrator and I would appreciate your help on an issue I'm running into. I've been following a few tutorials that say to use Effect > Stylize > Drop Shadow, but for me Drop Shadow is not available in that menu. The only thing that is available is "Glowing Edges." I'm trying to add a drop shadow to an ellipse, but I've tried it with lines and even that didn't work.
Any idea what is going on here?

Thanks for asking this and thanks Wade Z for answering...I've just spent 2 hours worrying about my installation of the programme!
Why don't adobe explain this in their basic info on drop shadows?...if there are 2 identical labels within one panel it's bound to cause trouble.
Adobe you owe me a pint!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Flickering after adding shadow and highlight effect

I seem to be getting a flicker, in any shot that has had the shadow and highlight effect added. It is as if premiere flashes from an uneffected frame and to a frame after "correcting" with shadow and highlight. Sometimes hardly noticeable until I have "make movie" and play it as an avi.

Well, as with most of the "auto" Effects, things work well, only if everything stays the same, like lighting, etc.. If one has a Clip, where lighting, exposure, white-balance, etc. changes, then the auto Effects WILL "pulse," or "strobe." It's sort of like the old days, with auto-aperture, and "seeking" for exposure.
Lock down the camera, and do not change the lighting, exposure, or white-balance, and the auto aspect of Highlight & Shadow (plus most other "auto" Effects), will work just fine.
I use Highlight & Shadow fairly often, but seldom on its "auto" adjustment - I almost always manually set the parameters manually.
Good luck,

This thread isn't long, and clearly in the several posts above, we discuss that the bug (which Adobe refuses to fix after years of bug reports) occurs regardless of whether automatic or manual control is being used. So you are not offering a solution; Adobe needs to do that.

Ok no one has been able to help me so far this is it. I NEVER had these problems with photoshop CS6 extended edition!
The best i can do to describe the dissappearing filters( from iteratrions of Photoshop CC for the last year to now) and pattern overlays were called marble, stones and concretes. where can aI find a list of pattern overlays?
will it do any good to repost to all on this forum?

Cannot import bookmarks from Safari because "import" option is NOT highlighted (not available). Why?

MacBook Pro - FireFox 4
I was able in the past (earlier FireFox versions) to import bookmarks from Safari when clicking on the "Organize Bookmarks." This now is not available. Instead, under "file" there is an "import" option but it is NOT highlighted, i.e., it is not available for clicking. How do you import bookmarks from Safari (or any other browser) after you have used FireFox for a while. i.e., not when you first set it up, but later?

"Organize Bookmarks" has been renamed to "Show All Bookmarks" in the bookmarks menu.
The option to import can be disabled if you are in private browsing mode. To stop Firefox opening in private browsing mode do this:
# Open the Preferences window and go to the Privacy panel
# Change the setting "Firefox will" to "Remember history", alternatively if you set it to "Use custom settings for history", de-select the setting "Permanent Private Browsing mode"
