Transition effect no longer working

Hello,
I have searched all over, and have found no one to have the same exact issue.
Not so long ago I was editing a movie using multiple camera angles and an audio source from one of the angles. Did a lot of gradient transitions. Worked amazing.
Fast forward a week later working on new project and the effect no longer works. I tried everything. I went back to the original project where it did worked. The exisiting Gradient Transitions work, but not if I add a new one. This tell me something may be wrong with the file itself. Or, an option is not enabled in the program. Other affects DO work however.
TL:DR,
Garident Image effect no longet works. Do I need to reinstall Final Cut Pro X? Do I need to re-download the transition file? Where can it be found online?

[Solved] KDE Desktop Effects no longer working

Hello,
I just did an update, (I didn't think it was a major one, I don't recall seeing graphics update, though I'm not sure how to confirm - is there a way to see recently updated packages in yaourt?) and after a brief issue with powertop that was solved by a restart (https://bbs.archlinux.org/viewtopic.php?id=179789 - it may be unrelated though) I found that when I restarted, KWin Crashed, and since then, my desktop effects are not working.
I have gone to the KDE Desktop Effects Settings Menu, and under the advanced menu, set the compositing type back to OpenGL 3.1, clicked apply, and confirmed that I wanted to try it even though it had evidently crashed Kwin. I then received a message stating "21 desktop effects could not be loaded". When I clicked details, a popup window said:
"For technical reasons it is not possible to determine all possible error causes.
Desktop effect system is not running."
For the record, I am on a Thinkpad X201 with intel graphics.
Any ideas?

Some Extra information:
I just tried a restart, that didn't work.
I then went back into effect settings, and saw that "enable effects at startup" was not checked. I also saw that under the advanced settings, Qt Graphics system was set to raster. Since I'm not sure which it was supposed to be on originally, but the current configuration wasn't working, I also set that to Native, and then clicked apply. KWin then crashed, here is the output:
Application: KWin (kwin), signal: Aborted

KDE4 desktop effects no longer work

I did a pacman -Syu today in order to catch up on out of date packages and KDE4 desktop effects have stopped working. I have tried correcting this by doing nvidia-xconfig and nvidia-xconfig --composite as root to no avail. Any ideas what may have gone wrong?

Saw another post that might be the same issue here and on the chakra forums. From what I can tell it doesn't seem like there's much of resolution yet though.

The only thing I can think of is that Windows Vista is not one of the supported operating systems for Premiere Pro CS6. Only Windows 7 is listed. Is it possible to upgrade your OS?

Video Transition Effect isn't working

It's probably something really basic, but, when I drag a transition to a point between two clips, it only shows over the right clip and when it's dropped by releasing the mouse, the transition pretty much disappears. It may still exist as a single frame transition, but that's all.
Any ideas?
Thanks!

Transitions need material from both clips not otherwise in the timeline. If all the media is in the timeline, no transition is possible.

Sound effects no longer play in Rosetta emulation games

While sorting out the data transferred from my recently deceased Powerbook G4 17", I accidently started up Audacity 1.2.3 which is a Power PC only version. It only partially loaded with its icon in the Dock but nothing else. I had to force quit the program to get rid of it and then deleted it. When my teenage son went to play his suite of PPC games such as Age of Empires 2 and StarWars after that, the game sound effects no longer worked. The background music still plays, but all the player responsive sound effects will not play, even though the settings to play them are correct.
I am wondering if the opening up and crashing of the Power PC Audacity may have stuffed up something in the Rosetta emulation system software relating to the sound output of emulated games. Before I consider doing a full backup and reinstall, does anyone who is a regular gamer playing PPC games on a Macbook Pro have any ideas on how to fix this problem. I was wondering if the Rosetta component of OSX can be replaced from a working system or if it is totally integrated into the Mac OS unlike Classic was.
All advice appreciated!

+I tried to set "Problem solved" but got an error so will try again later.+
Thanks for trying and glad it fixed the problem

Red Giant transitions no longer work in Mac OS 10.9.5

I recently updated my Mac Pro to 10.9.5 and now my Red Giant Universe transitions, such as Swish Pan (works like Wind Blur in Final Cut) have all stopped working. Not only do they no longer work, but they make my project crash and I have to create a copy of the project. Has anyone else had this experience? Is there any way to fix it?

My two cents-- I'm a fan of Red Giant and have a bunch of their products but Universe has been a dud in my opinion. Didn't upgrade to the premium version but kept it installed just to kick the tires and it's been a total headache. Finally uninstalled it.
May not be Red Giant's issue per se, but for whatever reason all my Adobe stuff runs better without it.

Transitions no longer works in 4.0.1

After updating PP 4.0.0 to 4.0.1 my transitions between still images is no longer working.
Is there a solution for this issue?

Eddie
I have installed PP CS4 on 2 different computers and both is updated to 4.0.1 a few days ago.
Unfortunately I now - after updating from 4.0.0 to 4.0.1 - have exact the same problem on both machines, which have different CPU's and Video cards.
Transitions between to movie clips works fine.
Transitions between a still image and a movie clip works also fine.
But transitions between 2 still images don't work any longer.
I can preview or scrub over the transitions and they dissolve fine.
But when I render and playback, the transition is there but it's "not transitioning".
Image 1 have a hard cut into the next image as when no transition is used.
I have no third-party plug-ins.
I have only video edditing software (PP, Encore and PS Elements 7) on both machines. Nothing else.
Only one monitor on each Pc.
Machine 1:

Slideshow Transitions No Longer Work After Installing iLife08

Hi:
I previously used the '06 version of iPhoto, and the transitions I selected for my slideshows worked as expected. After upgrading to '08, the transitions no longer work, even if I reset them on some of the slides. It looks like there is no transition. I tried deleting the preference file and restarting, but no luck. I also used Software Update to get the latest iPhoto update. Anyone have a suggestion of how to fix? Thanks for any help.

Andy:
Welcome to the Apple Discussions. Did you repair disk permissions after updating? Download and run the 10.4.10 COMBO updater and the Quicktime 7.2 updater followed by a repair of disk permissions.
Do you Twango?
TIP: For insurance against the iPhoto database corruption that many users have experienced I recommend making a backup copy of the Library6.iPhoto database file and keep it current. If problems crop up where iPhoto suddenly can't see any photos or thinks there are no photos in the library, replacing the working Library6.iPhoto file with the backup will often get the library back. By keeping it current I mean backup after each import and/or any serious editing or work on books, slideshows, calendars, cards, etc. That insures that if a problem pops up and you do need to replace the database file, you'll retain all those efforts. It doesn't take long to make the backup and it's good insurance.
I've written an Automator workflow application (requires Tiger), iPhoto dB File Backup, that will copy the selected Library6.iPhoto file from your iPhoto Library folder to the Pictures folder, replacing any previous version of it. It's compatible with iPhoto 08 libraries. You can download it at Toad's Cellar. Be sure to read the Read Me pdf file.

Creative Wedding Transitions & Effects for Adobe Premiere Pro CS5 or CS5.5

Hi!
I am Professional Wedding Video Editor. before that i was using Pinnacle Studio 14 and Canopus Edius Pro but these Sucks, Now i have Intel Core i7 Extreme 64 bit OS and using Windows 7. I just Buye the Adobe Creative Suite 5. and soon i will Upgrade to Adobe CS5.5 . this is the Great Video Editing Software i Ever Seen. But i found some standard Dissolve & wipe Transitions in it.
My Question is that can i Use 3rd Party Creative Video Effects & Transitions with Adobe Premiere Pro CS5?
i want to know about thier names. that has Great transitions and smooth Transitions ever.
Thanks
Looking forward for Great Response.
Regards,
Waseem

Once, one could use the Hollywood FX Transitions (available from Pinnacle), but I believe that as of about CS4, that is no longer possible, but since Zac did not mention it (also, I think that Pinnacle no longer works with Hollywood FX, and they might be history?), I assume that CS5/CS5.5 does not support them either.
Pixelan (mentioned above) is a great resource for Transitons, and I recommed them highly.
I also have ProDAD's Adorage, but do not use those that often.
My normal Transitions are just Butt-cut, Cross-Dissolve and Dip-to-Black.
Good luck,
Hunt

Premiere Pro CS4 Loose transition effect after exporting.

Hey everyone. Still a little new to Pro, but have searched for an answer to this question with no luck. I have about a 4 minute project which consists of titles, still images and video and audio. I have 5 opening titles, each 3 seconds long. I have set the 'dip to black' transition effect between each of them. After exporting to media - Windows AVI, the effect is gone on just these clips. All other transitions work great. I am doing this on my Vista Ultimate Dual Core 1.8 GHz 32-bit PC with 3GB of RAM. I am exporing to NTSC DV.
I did try exporting the exact same project on my work laptop. Windows XP, 1.7GHz with 1GB of RAM and it worked just fine.
Any suggestions?
Thank you in advance.

The glow is best done with a plugin from trapcode called Shine. They also have an effect called sparkle which should accomplish the effect in your video example.
Shine is preetty much a standard plugin for AE or Pr. Its a bit overused though.
http://www.trapcode.com/products_shine.html
In fact I did a tutorial for Shine a while back. Maybe it will help. Though it was done on Pr ver 1; but the plugin works the same.

Re: iPhone applications no longer work
Posted: Aug 26, 2008 4:10 PM in response to: pmonahan
I am having the same problem as many of you. 3G iPhone. 2.0.2.
In the past 3 weeks I have had at least 5 if not 8-10 examples of loss of all iPod content and access to all apps. I know this happens on 2.0.2 and I know it happened at least a couple of times on 2.0.1. I am fairly certain that it never happened on 2.0.0.
This seems to happen EVERY time that the iPod crashes and reboots itself or when I force a hard reset. I haven't tried with a normal turn off/shut down in fear of having to go through this whole process again.
I have a solution that while not optimal works EVERY TIME!
1. Do a "reset all settings" from general settings. This will wipe out the set up of an exchange mail client, but not Yahoo, Gmail, or POP. While a pain this only takes a few minutes to reset up. It will not touch any app settings, high scores, etc. Additionally, all of your apps will need to reordered on the screen if you are like me and like certain ones to be on certain pages. Again, a pain, but this takes 5-10 minutes max for 4 pages worth of apps. Additionally, you will need to change any other personalized settings that you have set up (ring tones, favorites, brightness, etc.) At this point all iPod content will be back, but apps still won't work.
2. Go to the app store and download any app that you want. This will have you reinputing your username and password. Once this is compthe app is fully downloaded and installed you will have access to all of your apps again and your phone will work perfectly UNTIL THE NEXT TIME YOU HAVE TO DO THIS. Note, during this step, I have done a hard reset multiple times and gone through a overly long Apple logo time frame (and sometimes even hard reset during the Apple logo again) but this has yet to have any ill effect. Once the phone comes back up all apps works and all iPod content is there.
Finally, I have now stopped downloading or updating apps directly from the phone if at all. As this often causes or requires a hard reset.
Generally I get one to two days before having to do this again.
Please know I am not suggest this is all OK and I am barely tolerating this as it should just get fixed, but this is pretty easy and while monotonous on the 5th+ time, it isn't that time consuming and has worked every time.

I used to use a bookmark for maximizing the firefox window, but in FF9 it no longer works.

Before upgrading, I used the following snippet of code in the "Location" field of a Bookmark:
javascript:self.resizeTo(screen.availwidth,screen.availheight);self.moveto(0,0);
However, with FF9 that no longer works. I attempted to change the front portion (before the open parenthesis) to:
browser.window.resize_to
but after I remove focus from the text box, it adds the "http://" to the front of the code and a "/" to the end of it. I have two questions:
#1. Is there a way to stop Firefox from adding the "http://" and "/" to the location box?
#2. Is there a better way to set up the bookmark (or another quick-access method) to automatically resize the window?

You can only do that in the Scratchpad if an XUL window like about:addons or about:config is open.
*Firefox/Tools > Web Developer > Scratchpad (Shift+F4)
You can no longer run JavaScript code via the location bar in Firefox 6 and later. 
You can see an error message in the Tools > Error Console. 
That code now gets a null principal for security reasons and doesn't have any effect (Bug 656433). 
You need to create a (keyword) bookmarklet and run the code by invoking that bookmark. 
Use the Scratch pad (Firefox > Web Developer > Scratchpad; Shift+F4) to run JavaScript code. 
Open a tab with an XUL page like about:addons (Tools > Addons) to be able to resize or move a window via JavaScript code in the Scratchpad in Firefox 9+.

ABAP Web Dynpro Application changes in Administation Mode no longer working

Hi Gurus,
To apply customizing to a standard SAP Web Dynpro application we used to simply run the application in administration mode. After we changed a parameter to allow for theme application this adminstration mode no longer works. Right-Click simply acts as if you are running the application normally. We have tried to remove our parameter but this had no effect.
How can we "fix" this error without creating a new custom configuration which will cause the URL to change?
Thanks,
Garth

Hi,
how did you open in administrative mode?
to open in adminstrative mode do as follows:
In se80 ,i.e in the menu bar:
Web Dynpro Application->Test->Test in Administation mode.
i hope u can see the option "Settings for surrent config" .
you can refer the thread.

ITunes Match no longer working

Wow. I don't even know where to start with this. But here's the problems I am having- I am hoping that someone can steer me in the right direction. I've been trying for a few weeks to get this straightened out and am still quite stuck.
I had iTunes match successfully running, with @35,000 tracks. But about a week ago I could no longer "see" anything that is in the cloud- my computer at work will only show the 12k songs on my hard drive.
Things to know:
1)I no longer have the cloud icon showing to the right of Music in the iTunes viewer window.
2) I've tried selecting Update iTunes Match. I've selected Turn Off iTunes Match, and then Turn On iTunes Match numerous times.
3) Checked to make sure iCloud Download and iCloud Status is enabled in the View Options.
4) iTunes Match shows up below iTunes Store, and it is stuck in that Start process. I can start it, it acts like it is going thru the process, then sends info to Apple, then goes back to the same view (iTunes Match, with the three steps and the Start button)
5) I've tried accessing my iTunes match songs from 3 different computers now, and I am getting the same results.
6) iTunes knows that I have more than 25k songs in the cloud because I get the nag screen New songs could not be uploaded because I've exceeded the 25k limit now. (In fact, that nag screen shows everytime I launch iTunes, even though I've toggled the box Do not show this message again)
7) On my computers, 99% of all of my songs now say Exceeded Limit in their iCloud Status collumn, even when they are songs bought thru the iTunes store.
8) I've tried reinstalling iTunes 10.5.2 a few times now.
9) Hide music not on this computer is not on. But for good measure, I've tried selecting it, and then reversing it just to see if that changes anything. It doesn't.
I'm totally at a loss here. Anyone been thru this before and figured out what I might need to do? I am highly frustrated that I currently can't find 2/3rd's of my music library.

An effective way to work with such a large library is to operate on the assumption that iTunes Match will fail to 'match' a significant proportion of the library.
Songs most likely to match are more recent Songs from iTunes or good quality CD rips (256 kbps).
From your symptoms it is worth starting afresh, hence:
1. Start by restoring your original library with iTunes Match off from a secure backup;
2. Create Smart Lists to segment your library into Songs recorded in c.5 year blocks;
3. Export from each Smart List to a discrete directory for each 5 year block;
4. Create a new library, import from the 1st 5 year block;
5. Turn on iTunes Match and allow the 3-step process to complete;
6. Create a Smart List for those Songs with an iCloud status of Matched;
7. Save the contents of the Smart List to a discrete Matched Songs Directory;
8. Delete the Matched Songs from the Library and the iCloud;
9. Import the next 5 year block and repeat process from Step 5 until all Songs have Uploaded.
The result will be a library with all your Songs uploaded using the iTunes Match service and a set of directories containing all the Songs the you know will match.
At this stage the next step depends on the size of your library. Given that you can only upload 25k Songs per library, with luck you should have a match rate that has allowed this.
Given that Matched songs do not add to this total you should now be able to import the Matched songs in 5 year blocks to the same library - allowing iTunes Match to complete for each set loaded until the full library is available.
If, however, you have hit the 25k Song limit - you should delete the last 5 year block to bring you back to a legal level. Create a new library and complete the steps above for the Songs over the 25k limit on the new library. This will give you two legal sized libraries with iTunes Match in successful operation.
Throughout, taking care to ensure secure backups are taken at each step is important to allow you to recover should iTunes Match at any stage have a problem - there are many potential pitfalls including file types that it may not like, interference from firewalls / antivirus software, corruption of files at source / in transmission.
The final result should be very good - though the 25k Song limit may frustrate you given the size of your current library.
