Unable to select Layer.

I'm making a typography movie. I'm now at the part that I'm making a composition of every 5 layers. But after a few times I get stuck. Because as soon as I select a layer I select the last composition that I made. This is freaking me out because I always get the error when I'm far in. Losing hours of work.

Sorry if Im being vague I shall try to make my question more clear.
I'm working on a project where in I need to create a Typography. A animated movie that uses lots of words. I started out in Adobe Illistrator, where every single word has his own layer. After I was done in Illustrator I imported my file into After Effects. There I took 5 words and made a single composition. It worked great for the first 20 compositions but then the problem started to arise. Everytime I click on the next word it highlights the whole file and I'm unable to continue.
Example: Lets say the last word I compositioned is ''best" and the next word I want to composition is ''the''. It will target the composition of ''best''.
The reason I lost hours of my time is because the only way to make something clickable is by starting all over again till I'm 20 composition in or so and then the problem arises again. 20 compositions is a rough estimated it could also happen at the very first composition.
I hope that I formulated my answer better.

  • (Layers Palette) When selected, layer is highlighted in grey, not blue.

    When I select a layer, it is highlighted in grey (in the layers palette) and I am unable to edit it. My current process for making a layer editable is as follows:
    Select layer (highlighted in grey)
    Double click layer (opens "Layer Styles" dialogue box)
    Close "Layer Styles" dialogue box
    Layer is now highlighted in blue and can be edited.
    I am currently running Photoshop CS5.1 on a windows machine which is using Windows 7.
    Any thoughts?

    Howdy.
    Where are you clicking on the layer?
    Did you try to reset your preferences by holding CTRL+ALT+Shift as soon as your start Photoshop?

  • Cannot select layer when there is a Path

    Please help this relative PS newb

    Not a problem.
    When something does not work, as I anticipate it to in PS, I start looking for what else I might have selected, or what else is active.
    I often forget that I have a Selection, which I've Hidden, and then many of my Tools just do not function (unless I happen to be using them in that Hidden Selection).
    I also find that I will create a Text Layer, and then go to Stroke, or Fill a Path - grayed out - until I either make a regular Layer Active, or create a new regular Layer, as DrStrik9 points out. Happens to me about once per week.
    Good luck, and happy editing,

  • Unable to select the value from a list item in forms 6i

    Hi ,
    I'am using forms 6i. I have created a list item in my form as below.
    Item_type = list item
    list style - popup list
    elements in list - A, B, C,D
    When I open the form all the above values are displayed for the list item. But I'am unable to select the item( either A,B,C,D).
    Please let me know if I need to add any thing else programatically to acheive this. The block on whixh these values are diplayed is a datablock.
    This is very urgent. Any suggestions would be of great help.
    Thanks
    Deepthi

    If you have a list item where you have:
    Display A value 1
    Display B value 2
    Display C value 3
    Display D value 4
    If want to initial the value of the item to be A, you can set the initial value of the item to 1 in the property pane.
    Otherwise in an initialisation triger have
    :block.list_item := 1;

  • Could not complete the new 3D extrusion from selected layer command because the path is too complex.

    I was trying to do a photo of mine like in this video but its not working help needed. thanks.
    http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=egyLY78H7nE
    When I tried the 3D I got an error message that said (could not complete the new 3D extrusion from selected layer command because the path is too complex.) what does this mean and how can i fix it?

    There was a bug at one time where really simple paths (like a triangle, for example) could cause that error.
    Is your path really simple (I don't plan to go watch the video)?  If so, have you installed the latest update for Photoshop?  That bug may have been fixed already.
    If it's not that, it's possible that if your path is really complex and simply exceeding Photoshop's capability.

  • SharePoint 2010 Slide Library Unable To Select Managed Metadata When Publishing.

    Hello,
    I'm running into some problems with Managed Metadata when uploading (publishing) slides in a SharePoint 2010 Slide Library.  If I have Managed Metadata Site Columns that are set to be required in my slide library, and I publish my slide(s) into the
    SharePoint 2010 Slide Library I'm not prompted to enter in my required Metadata before the slide is published.  The slide will upload, but then I would need to edit the slide and then enter in the required Metadata.
    If I create a new column with a type set to Choice for example, and set it to be required and I upload (publish) a slide I'm now prompted to enter in the required Metadata, but all the Managed Metadata choices are grayed out and I'm unable to select anything. 
    I'm able to select a Choice for the new column.
    Is this a bug within SharePoint 2010 that does not allow me to enter in Required Managed Metadata Tags on uploading (publishing) slides?
    Regular document libraries work just fine with required Managed Metadata.
    Thanks for any assistance.

    Hi,
    According to your post, my understanding is that the Managed Metadata not prompted to enter value in the required metadata.
    I had tested with this issue, and I found the same issue.
    We will help to submit the issue to proper pipeline for you.
    Again, thank you for your report which will definitely make SharePoint a better products. There might be some time delay. 
    Appreciate your time and patience.

  • Unable to select IS from the drop down list in message mapping

    Hi,
    i  know that we can monitor 'Integration server' in message monitoring rather than choosing integration engine or adapter engine.
    But in our existing land scapes i am unable to select IS from the drop down list in message mapping.
    using PI 7.1 SP 08.
    please let me know that we need to set up additional configurations settings to select IS form drop down list.
    Regards,
    Pradeep A.

    Hi Pradeep,
    please let me know that we need to set up additional configurations settings to select IS form drop down list.
    There are no extra settings that needs to be done for this. I don't know whether you have noticed this, but IS option will only come up when you want to monitor the messages from the "Database" and not from the "Database overview" or "Archive".

  • Unable to select the created Ports(greyed out) in the import manager

    Hi ,
    We have created some ports with specific Remote system and XML schema's and also assigned the map to it.
    The processing type is manual for now,since we want to load data manually using import manager from the Ready folder of the port since PI is dropping the files there.But when I load import manager and select the file type as "Port" and also the relevant remote system ,I cannot select any of the list of ports created ,All are greyed out.
    All I need is to select "Port" option ,remote system and use the created port from the dropdown list of import manager " connect to source" step,which i am unable to select as  all the port s are greyed out and unable to select.
    Any help greatly appreciated...

    Hello Arvind,
    There is no need to start the MDIS (Import server) if you are importing the data manually.you just open the import manager, login into the repository and select type as XML as per your case and select the remote system (it depends on your requirement) and select the port on which your xml files resides.and enter in the import manager then map you data accordingly and you can import into the repository.
    when you want to automate the process for importing the data in repository then you will need to Start the import Server. In that case import server automatically pick the file from the ready port folder and also set the property in console as the processing type is Automatic.
    Hope this will help you and clear your doubt.

  • Unable to select Edit in Adobe PDF Portfolio?

    I'm using Adobe XI with flash player 11.7.700.202, which I believe is the current version, and I'm unable to select the 'Edit' button as it appears that it's been disabled. Please direct me to a solution.
    Note: it worked just fine in Adobe Pro 9.
    -Tammy

    The portfolios are created through Outlook (sync'd from Gmail for multiple printing) using Adobe XI Pro so your comment above answers part of this question.
    We had created portfolios using Lotus Notes and Adobe Pro 9; I was able edit the 'Description' when I had to print specific emails and I was even able to change how the emails were displayed (layout).
    Can you tell me if there will be a fix/update for this?

    I think that all your form parameters must begin with alowercase letters, for example
    startOfSession instead of StartOfSession
    try to rename your selectname paramters.
    Le me know if ti works,

  • Unable to select logical relations in DataModeler version 4.1.0.866 Build 866 on Mac Yosemite 10.10.1

    Hi Team,
    I can not select logical and physical relations in DataModeler version 4.1.0.866 Build 866 on Mac Yosemite 10.10.1 (Java SDK 1.8). DataModeler does not allow me to select them. I mean the next scenario: I create two entities (or tables) and add a logical (or physical) relation between them. After this I can not select the relation in diagram window. Meantime I still can select the relation in browser window.
    Could you please suggest me is it a bug (maybe a platform specific problem) or did I miss something in software options?
    I found a topic about the same issue. It describes the same problem, though the topic is without an answer and was archived.
    New bug - Unable to select logical relations in version 4.0.2.15 Build 15.21 on Mac
    At the end, if this is a bug (even a platform specific one), where may I publish details about it to ask for a fix from Oracle team someday in future?
    WIth best regards,
    Kostyantyn

    Hi Philip,
    Thank you for the good hint about "default line width and colour".
    Meantime the option does not resolve the problem in my case.
    According to your suggestion I set maximal width for relation lines and I still can not pick (select) it in diagram window.
    I checked behaviour of DataModeler with next display resolutions on MacBook Pro (Retina, 15-inch, Mid 2014) in System preferences Displays: "Best for display"; Scaled "More Space", "Larger Text", and "Best (Retina)"... And the problem takes place in all these cases.
    Please see attached image - this is how I see the relation line. And I still can hit it!
    If I use the DataModler on a casual external monitor, the problem is absent (no matter what a width is). Also I believe the problem takes place only on mac retina displays. Therefore I think this is a platform specific bug.
    I do understand a root cause of the problem may have no direct relation with Oracle DataModeler source code.
    With best regards,
    Kostyantyn

  • Unable to select Certificate for Remote Desktop Connection

    Hi,
    I have created a certificate with below parameter in inf file through a local Standalone 2008 r2 CA & imported it into Computer personal certificate store but unable to see this certificate entry while trying to select it under Remote desktop connection.
    Somewhere saw we should have the private key in personal certificate store but didn't get how/where to get that key. Is that the reason, m unable to select this certificate or there is something missing in the input parameter used in inf file. Kindly suggest

    --> imported certificate through certreq -accept. Earlier i was importing cert from mmc.
    I think second point resolved my problem. i even didn't think that mmc & command can make this difference.
