Start text layer (using Text Tool) from current time indicator - Adobe After Effects CC

This is something that would improve the speed of my workflow considerably. When I click inside a composition using the Text Tool, the text layer always positions itself at the beginning of the composition.
Is there any way to make the text layer start from the current time indicator so I don't continually have to scroll back to the start of the composition and drag the text layer forward to the desired position?
Many thanks.

There's a preference: Create Layers At Composition Start Time.

  • I want to animate the text colour from red to blue in after effects cs 6. please tell me how to do that

    i am using adobe after effects cs 6
    intel core i3 3120 3.3ghz processor
    12gb ram

    Open up the text layer properties, add an animator>Fill Color, choose type, HUE usually works better for subtle changes but you can animate one or all color properties.  Set keyframes for range selector to change individual letters or words or color to change everything.

  • Paste Clips In Place From Current-Time Indicator?

    Is there a way to paste clips in Premiere Pro CS5 at the current-time indicator / playhead without it jumping to the end of the clip?
    CS3 worked that way by default. CS4 introduced jumping ahead to the end of a clip when pasted.

    Thanks for your reply Bill.
    It does paste at the CTI, but then the CTI moves to the end of the pasted clip automatically. I liked it in CS3 when the CTI stayed in place.
    Mostly I use this for audio editing just to do quick fixes by dropping in silence over background noise in the video. So it was handy when the CTI stayed in place because I could play or scrub through the audio without moving the CTI back to the start of the pasted clip each time, then resize it accordingly.
    It's not a huge problem, but since it's been part of my workflow for so long it's an awkward change.

  • My current version is Adobe After Effects CS6 11.0.3. It's problem is I can't update 13.02 version

    I have a problem with After Effect version update because when I saved my After Effect project file at my Mac laptop, After Effect Verison was 11.0.3. So When I went to Mac desktop in edit suite room in University and tried open my project on the Mac desktop. The message pop out and said this project must be converted from version 11.0.3 (Macintosh 64). The original file will be unchanged.  So Mac desktop have After Effect's version is 13.02 and I can't update my Mac laptop because I can' find After Effect 13.0.2 update file anywhere in the internet.  so Can you help me to solve this problem, please because I will hand in my university assignment next month.
    Thanks

    Until your project is finished, you can ONLY work on it using your laptop.  Don't try to work on it using a different machine.
    Unless you RENT CS6 -- that is, you didn't purchase it, but pay a monthly fee to use it -- you won't have acess to 13.0.2.
    This isn't a simple update -- this is installing a new VERSION of the software, and beginning with version 12, the software is rented.
    So get your project done on your own machine, then worry about whether or not you should incur a monthly expense to have the latest version of AE.  Don't change horses in mid-stream!
    Now, there IS a way to work on both your laptop and that other machine, but it is downright messy!  It also involves having access to AE Creative Cloud (aka Version 12) on that machine -- so until you can confirm that fact, I'm not even going to describe the messy process.
    I stick to my original advice -- keep the project on the laptop unless you enjoy missing deadlines.  Or due dates.

    I am using Acrobat XI Pro, version 11.0.10.32.
    I did not create the file I was working in during the freezes, so I tried a PDF that I created with Adobe and it also freezes when I click on COMMENT. I did discover that the COMMENTS plug-in is loaded. (see image
    I have used COMMENT for years without this issue occurring. It started in the last 2 weeks.
    I could not find Properties under the file menu, but found a security setting in Preferences under the Edit menu. It did not have a way to allow/disallow COMMENT.

  • Can't use any tools from the toolbar

    I'm running  InDesign CS6 ver. 8.0.1 on a Windows 7 64-bit pc.
    InDesign has been running perfectly for about two years on this pc until about a month ago when I suddenly couldn't use the tools from the toolbar any longer.
    I have searched for a solution and found http://helpx.adobe.com/indesign/kb/indesign-tools-panels-dont-respond.html.
    I have followed the instructions mentioned in the KB-article but it didn't change anything for me and certainly didn't solve the problem.
    Any help or suggestions will be highly appreciated!

    The KB-article recommends using font size = 100% and avoid Aero themes. I did use the recommended font setting already and I changed the theme to Windows 7 Basic. I turn off my computer every night and I have tried to use the toolbar several times during the last month. Without any luck :-(

  • How do I stop a tool from functioning on my work after I finish using it?

    How do I stop a tool from functioning on my work after I finish using it?

    Switch to another tool?
    I really don't know what you mean by "stop functioning". The Zoom tool will always work when selected.
    Is there a specific example you have in mind?  Give us the exact version of Photoshop you are using, and the version of Mac OSX or Windows.
    A screenshot outlining your problem is best.

  • When firefox starts show my windows and tabs from last time is greyed out

    firefox 4.0 startup. when I go to general under options when firefox starts show my windows and tabs from last time it is grayed out and I can't select it.

    * You enter Private Browsing mode if you select: Tools > Options > Privacy > History: Firefox will: "Never Remember History"
    * To see all History and Cookie settings, choose: Tools > Options > Privacy, choose the setting <b>Firefox will: Use custom settings for history</b>

  • Can you use the value from a numeric indicator in a numeric control?

    Hi!
         I have to develop a code where I have to find the maximum value of a waveform and draw a line at 50% of the value. So I chose to find the amplitude of say 10 cycles of waveforms and found the maximum value out of the amplitudes. 
    But my real problem is, I have to use the maximum amplitude value that I get from the max. array VI and put it back in program to calculate the 50% value. 
    So is it possible to use the value from a numeric indicator and put it in a numeric control? Like in MATLAB or C, you give the variable a name and use it later to do any computations. Is it possible to do something similar in LabVIEW? 
    Solved!
    Go to Solution.

    Hi!
         Thank you very much for taking some time out. I have been trying to do this since 2 months and I am stuck right where I am.
    The situation is, I have to calculate the amplitude of the irregular waveform for a few trials and then find the maximum amplitude out of the trials and display a line at whatever % of amplitude the user chooses. I tried using property nodes but I am getting Error 1055 for some unknown reason. Then I decided to draw the line using DC offset but it turns out it calculates the amplitude each time and so the line keeps dancing everytime. Now my challenge is to have the amplitude calculated for say, 20 loops and then calculate the max from that. I ran out of ideas so I am posting here. I am using LabVIEW version 8, and I'll upload a few of my attempts. I hope I am not troubling you'll much.

  • Hii all, I just bought an used iphone 5c from an user and only after a few weeks realised that it got activation locked. He might be unaware of that. Is it possible to get back to him and unlock the device for me as i have not contacts with him presently.

    Well first you need to sync your iPhone 4 with your Mac/PC so that it will transfer all your music, apps, podcasts, etc. Then sync your iPod Touch and the media you selected during the sync should be there on your iPhone. If you have difficulty in transferring media from iPhone to your computer, try softwares like TransCopy. They will help in transferring data from your iphone to your computer. Dont forget to check that all the transferred data is in the iTunes media folder so that the iTunes can locate the files. Link to Transcopy software :

    Rixonruss,
    The size of your photos and videos you mark in Elements for upload depicts how much data is being uploaded. However for download, only small size previews get downloaded first unless you download the originals from Elements whenever needed in any Elements workflows.

  • Can I use adobe after effects with my project from premiere elements

    Wondering if I can use adobe after effects with my premiere elements project

    drunner
    What version of Adobe After Effects do you have?
    Whatever the case, I have not found any Adobe After Effects documentation that include a Premiere Elements project.prel file as a supported import choice.
    I suspect that you are going to have to export your Premiere Elements Timeline as a .mp4 file with a After Effects supported compression into After Effects.
    But, I would ask in the Adobe After Effects Forum just to double check.
