Turbulent displace help CS6

Hey everyone,
I'm trying to do an effect with words coming out of a coffee cup and onto the screen. I'm looking for a "tornado-like" look when they leave the cup and for them to end up normal once they reach the background. I have tired using the turbulent displace effect, but I can't seem to control it precisely.
Any help would be much appreciated!

I want to make a continuous movement in turbulent displace option?

Hi, i'm trying to do a 'heat' effect, but i want to make a continuous movement of it (not a loop, but a almost linear movement) by choosing the options i only get distortions that advance in time but does not keep the same continuous movement, which is the best option to do it? or is there any other option besides turbulent displace option?
Thanks in advance

Displacement Map and Compound Blur together might do well (you'll have to have a precomp containing a layer with Fractal Noise to drive both effects).
Alternatively, Video Copilot has a nice heat distortion plugin.

Turbulent displacement

What I'm trying to do is draw a line coming from the top of the screen to the bottom (using trim paths) and apply turbulent displacement to the bottom half of the line only. At the moment is applies the effect to the whole line, and using a mask doesn't allow me to keep the two sections joined together at the half point (the turbulence effect breaks the line and doesn't look like one object)
Just looking for a quick fix on how to solve this problem?
Many thanks
Aileen

Create a precomp with Fractal Noise in the lower half and a flat grey at the top. (Two solids, one with Fractal Noise at the bottom and one with Linear Wipe at the top.)
Use that precomp to drive a Displacement Map effect on your line.

Help CS6 won't load?????

Hi I'm trying to run CS6 on a Mac Book Pro all has worked fine until recently, now it won't load! I have tried reinstalling but get the following error messages DW063 and DW050 help.

Things to try.
Create a small blank animation and move an object, then export that out to try importing the test file.
Reset the preferences by holding down the modifier keys while photoshop starts.
Reset the tools, found in the top toolbar at far left side.
Uninstall then reinstall photoshop.

Could not use history brush because the history state lacks a corresponding channel Please HELP CS6

Everytime I try to use my history brush, that error pops up and I have no clue why. If I try to just open a blank document and use the brush it does not give me this error and I can "use" the brush but you cant see anything on the project. Anyways, so when this error happens im trying to do a project and say I place a file(picture) into the project and this is the very first thing I do. I place it, then I size the image down some. I then make a new layer to use the brush for behind the picture and then this is when I get the error. I have no clue what is wrong can someone please help me I'm desperate:(.

The way you've described it, one gets the distinct impression you do not have a clue as to what the history brush does and how to use it.
You need to read up on it. Read the Help files and google for tutorials.
First you need to create an image (with actual pixels in it), edit it as desired, then make a snapshot of the edited image, then target the snapshot with the history brush tool, then go back in the History panel to the step before your edits and selectively paint your edits in with the History Brush.

Help (Cs6)

When adding a filter to a photo such as; pinch and oil painting, it wont work and comes up with a message 'Could not complete the ------ command because the selected area is empty. Please help me I don't know what to do. thanks

Thanks for helping me and I am not very good at photoshop, and are still learning. I did some photoshop 2 years ago and remember adding filters to the photos. I had the photo open, and created a new layer, and then went to filter and chose oil paint. I don't know whether I have to do something to get a filter working, if so can you please help me. Thankyou, I am pretty dumb on photoshop and need lots of help.

Help CS6 latest version on 10.7.5 image open to 100% shortcut no longer works

the Apple and 1 shortcut doesnt work anymore, Apple and 0 to fit on screen still does - can anyone help?

Does the View menu still have Cmd+1 next to Actual Pixels or 100%? If not, use Edit > Keyboard Shortcuts to assign Cmd+1.
Also, you may have inadvertently enabled "Use Legacy Channel Shortcuts" which associates Cmd+1 with displaying the red channel. The checkbox for that is in Edit > Keyboard Shortcuts.

AE cs6 crash during render preview

AE is crashing during a render preview.
Version: cs6 11.0.4 (recently updated).
System: iMac mid 2011 running os X 10.7.5
Processor: 2.7 GHz Intel Core i5
Memory: 16 gb 1333 MHz RAM
Error message: "Last log message was: <4453353824> <ae.blitpipe> <2> Making New Context."
In my comp I am using four masked solid layers with keyframes, no 3D or 3rd party plugins. The crash occurred after adding an adjustment layer and applying Turbulent Displace with an expression and Simple Choker. Crash occurs at the same point in the timeline every time I do a render preview. I've tried purging the cache, rebooting everything. I tried clearing the preferences with the command "command option shift" at startup, but that didn't seem to work (got no pop up window with yes/no option, maybe not doing it right?). Please let me know if you have any advice or need more information to clarify the issue. Thanks.

The problem is in Mask 1 on the Head layer. Delete and redraw/re-animate that mask.
Or, better...
Why are you drawing masks on solid layers for animation? That stopped being the right way to create graphics in After Effects seven years ago, when we introduced shape layers. I strongly recommend using shape layers for the kind of work that you're doing here. Also, I just checked, and copying and pasting your mask paths into shape layers path makes the problem go away, so whatever bug there is there is just with masks on solids.
To learn shape layers, go through Andrew Devis's materials in this series:

Final Cut Pro X to Premiere CS6 workflow destroys FCP X events

Hello,
I just got a call by a customer who tried to convert and FCP X project via XML to Premiere CS6 for a further AfterEffects workflow. He experienced the following problem, which I can rebuild completely. These are the steps:
1 - Export an FCP X project which relinks to transcoded optimized media to XML
2 - Convert the XML (.fcpxml) with Xto7 app to legacy XML (.xml) format
3 - Open Premiere CS6 and import the XML (.xml)
4 - Close Premiere CS6 and open FCP X and the exported project
FCP X warns immediately that something has been modiefied. This is just an information which I can only accept. All the clips that were optimized are reded out and marked "Modified File". Now do the follwing:
5 - Try to relink the modified media and chose the optimized media file in the transcoded media folder
As soon as you accept the relink FCP X deletes the file in the event library and ALSO in the Original Media folder AND in the Transcoded Media folder and moves both files to the trash. This could be destructiv, if you are working on a SAN storage, like an EditShare system.
But even if you are able to restore the files and move them back in place, there seems to be no chance to relink the files in FCP X to make your project working again. As soon the relink comand is executed the files will be moved to the trash again. If I do not try to relink, the files keep marked red and as Modified Media. If you have a look in the metadata, you will see, that they have been modified by Premiere, which seems to cause the trouble.
Does anyone has a workaround or working handover to AfterEffects? Or does anyone else encounter similar problems with XML or third party apps destroying metadata within FCP X files?
Appreciate all solutions!
Btw: This only affects transcoded media. Every time I worked with original media only, the handover to Premiere works undestructive, but the media was pending in Premiere until the app crashs.

Finally I solved the problem by myself, doing a deeper web research.
Actually it's Premiere CS6 or AfterEffects which adds some metadata to the clips, that causes FCP X to ignore those files and shows them as "Modified media". But - and that's the good thing - you can turn off this behaviour in AfterEffects or Premiere. Here is how:
In AfterEffects
go to Preferences > Media & Disk Cache and uncheck the boxes refering to the XMP metadata
In Premiere
go to Preferences > Media and uncheck the box "Write XMP ID to Files on Import"
Those XMP metadata help CS6 to share media cache files and previews and may improve stability and performance but if you are in a more FCP X based workflow, deactivating this option may prevent from loosing media.
A fast check with the same procedure discribed above went well and everything stays untouched and online in FCP X.

Best workaround for editing long AVCHD clips in CS6?

Hi there, I've recently switched to CS6 and have run into incredibly long render times using native AVCHD clips (13 hours to encode a 30 minute m2v). After reading many posts it seems the issue I am running into is a known bug. So, my question is: is there a good workaround for this issue?
It sounds like this issue is only on long clips. Is it possible to automatically split the .mts files using another program (virtualDub?) prior to importing?
If transcoding from the native format is required (until the fix) what would be the best method using Windows 7 64bit? I have heard Avid's DNxHD is a good lossy codec, but I hate to do this if there is an accepted workflow I should learn instead.
Thanks for any advice!

Adobe Illustrator CS6 uninstalling after restart problem?

Hi im having a problem with Adobe Illustrator CS6
I have installed Adobe Illustrator CS6 which was fine no problems.
The problem occurs when i shut the computer down then restart it, the short cut to the programme does not work.
In Start > All Programmes the software has a blank file next to it, meaning its not there.
This is also the same for extension manager CS6, tool kit CS6, help CS6, bridge CS6and adobe reader XI.
I also have on my laptop Dreamweaver CS5.5 could this have an affect on the newer software, as this too comes with extension manager CS5.5, tool kit CS5.5, but the older versions?
My Laptop Spec is:-
Acer Aspire 5742Z
Windows7 Home Premium Service pack 1
Intel(r) Pentium(R) CPU P6100 @ 2.00GHz 2.00 GHz
RAM: 4.00GB
64-bit Operating System
I have Norton Internet Security.
This is also playing up and can be only accessed on the toolbar right hand corner of the screen. (i dont think norton is the problem with illustrator)
**In safe mode i am able to see the icons in the Start > All Programmes and able to click the files and the software load***
Any help on the matter is appreciated.
If anymore details are needed please ask.
Thanks
Eran

We need system information. After you run the cleaner tool, there is no need to uninstall anything, which won't work, anyway. that's the whole point of the tool. You simply reinstall the app.
