Vector layer effects not showing up in comp

I'm working on my first After Effects project and would really appreciate any help.
Everything was working fine and now none of the transformations or effects I add to the layers of newly added vector files want to work.
They are visible when I open up the comp for the vector file, but they aren't rendering in the main comp.
Any ideas on what could be wrong? I probably disabled something by accident
Thanks!

Nobody can tell you anything without proper system info or other technical details like what version of AE or for that matter what kind of "vector layers", comp details and so on. you are throwing around a lot of vague statements.

  • Lighting effects not showing up in CS5

    This plug-in is not showing up on both CS5 and CS 5.1 running on a MAC OSX 10.6.7 Italian system. I have tried both from the Italian versions of PS and even from one new version in English of PS5.1 and it isn't to be found under the menu "rendering" or enywhere else. I see that it is in the plug.in folder and the folder of lighting effects is there as well, but it just doesn't show up. Any ideas about this bug? I've tried it on 3 different computers!

    As far as i know, the lighting effects filter only works in the 32 bit version of
    photoshop cs5/5.1 on a mac system.

    There is also a photoshop macintosh forum (you posted in the photoshop elements forum)

    Added: If you have the extended version of cs5, you might experiment using 3d lights
               for lighting effects, which works in the 64 bit version of cs5. Turn your layer into a
               3d postcard and use the 3d lights for various lighting effects.

  • MiniDV Video in Affert Effects not showing correct ratio.

    I'd like to know how to edit minidv video in its aspect ratio in After Effects. Video is 720 by 480 and 16 by 9 (non-square pixels). When I import the video, it's stretched too tall (set to square pixels I believe). No mater how many times I change the composition ration to widescreen, it still does not show correctly.
    I seem to do fine in Premiere. It automatically sets the aspect ratio for minidv video. But I can't get After Effects to do it. I don't want to spend time creating something only for it to be squished in Premiere later.
    So how to do create a composition that's 16 x 9 using non-square pixels 720 by 480 that can be edited into miniDV video in adobe premiere?

    If you properly interpret your footage as widescreen (AE may guess incorrectly here) and put it in any square pixel comp it will not look distorted but it may or may not fill the frame. It will only fill the frame if the frame size is the square pixel equivalent size of your widescreen footage. This applies to all non square pixel aspect ratio footage.
    If you interpret your footage as widescreen and put it in the same format (NTSC, PAL HDV) widescreen comp it will also fill the frame. There may be some black pixels on the left and right side because almost all cameras don't put live pixels in every column or even every row of the frame, but the footage will fill the frame. The caveat is that this footage will look distorted unless you activate pixel aspect correction preview in the Comp window because computer displays are always square pixels. You have to fool the display by selecting this option.
    When you render your widescreen comp, if you're using any of the standard DV codecs or a codec like Quicktime Animation or JPG, there is no place in this codec for an aspect ratio tag that will tell apps like Premiere or FCP or Avid that this footage is supposed to be widescreen. Once you import the footage to another app you'll have to check and make sure that the footage is interpreted as widescreen there too.
    I hope this helps. What ever you do, do not use the Fit to Frame option to force footage into a comp frame. If you insist on using Fit to Frame then check the X and Y scale values after you do and make sure they are identical. If they are not, you've distorted your footage at that point and it will be difficult or impossible to fix it later.

  • Effects not showing up in LiveType

    Hello - I am trying to apply an effect in LiveType, and while it looks like it's going into the timeline, there is nothing there. It looks as though the effect has been applied to the timeline, as it says the name of the effect, but the effect does not show up... thank you.

    Hey Nick - thanks for offering to help! Turns out all I did was close out of LIveType, then open it back up again, then the Effects seemed to work, though don't how, as I did not do anything different before I closed it out... hmmm... ok then, thank you again!

  • Plugin Effects not showing up in FCPX

    Hi,
    I recently bought a new computer.  I installed FCPX and copied my plugin effects to the movie folder (motion templates, etc.) the same way I had them working in my old computer, but the effects are not showing up in FCPX when I launch the Application.  I read somewhere that it might be a permission issue so I ran disk utility but it didn't make a difference.  Any ideas?
    Thanks,
    Marc

    I know this is an old thread but I had the same issue. Found this on Apple's Motion help document. This was very helpful:
    .moef is the Final Cut Effect template extension.
    .motn is the Final Cut Generator template extension.
    .moti is the Final Cut Title template extension.
    .motr is the Final Cut Transition template extension.
    Just be sure your templates are in the right folder. I had downloaded a template that I thought was a title but ended in .motn, which meant it was supposed to be in the /Movies/Motion Templates/Generators/ folder. Good luck!

  • Effects not showing in timeline

    Hi
    When i'm color correcting a clip, it's seen in the user. But when Im putting into the timeline the effect is not showing. if I now right click at an view it in the viewer the effects is no longer shown. All though you can see the settings it won't show if you change them.
    My RT settings is not set to show baselayer only.
    It would be great if someone can help me out!

    It would be helpful if you would describe the sequence of actions you are taking.
    Are you applying one of the color correction filters to a clip already edited into the sequence / timeline? Etc.

  • Filters, styles, effects not showing in pse12

    I have a pse12 in win 8 pc. When I open editor, the filters, styles, effects are not showing up. Pls help. Thanks.

    Hi, you are posting in the wrong forum, and will do better asking in the Elements forum
    http://forums.adobe.com/community/photoshop_elements
    To be clear, are you saying you can see the menue bar, and that you are not seeing what you'd expect to see under Filters?
    Or can you not see the menu bar and/or the toolbar and other panels?  In Photoshop you can toggle through three different screen modes with the f key, and turn panels off and on with the Tab key. 
    If that didn't help go ask in the Elements forum, but give a lot more information.

  • Colour Effects not showing up under effects panel anymore?

    Hi,
    After trashing my preferences due to an export issue, and then updating the app, the colour effects bar is not showing up under the Video Effects window like it did using the default layout. Using command-6 still pulls up the colour board but I cannot create masks or access it like I used to. The window now looks like this:
    I know it's probably a simple fix but I can't figure it out.. Is there a way to restore factory settings?

  • Photoshop Layer Effects not recognized

    Since it's so easy in photoshop to apply a layer effect, shadow, lighting, etc, i thought we could get it while creating a button, but i had no success.
    Do we really have to flatten the effects of the photoshop file ?

    Hi,
    Photoshop files with layer effects should work fine in Muse, do you mind sending the .psd file you're having trouble with to [email protected] so I can take a look? Please also include a link to this thread.

  • Effects not showing up on 3d text layer?

    hi im running into a problem were i motion tracked some 3d text into a scene, but when i add a effect like mossaic to the text nothing is showing up. the effect is on! the text remains just the same as it was before, motion tracked but regular. Am i doing something wrong or can effects only be placed on non 3d text. btw i duplicated the text, turned the 3d off and added a effect and it worked just fine.
    here is a couple gyazo pics of it for more information
    without effect:  http://gyazo.com/bea0bafb67ef1a45888d4764dc5e84dc
    with effect added ( nothing changes)  http://gyazo.com/e4cebe245fbcf9b5c956b5174ebacd42
    everything is up to date and my computer setting are way above what they need to run after effects.

    Are you using Ray-traced rendering? Did you read the warning?
    If yes, pre-compose your ray-traced 3D text layer, make the main comp Classic, do not collapse transformations and apply your filter.

  • PhotoShop CS6 - Lighting Effects Not showing

    I know the question sounds like the ones you get all the time but in PhotoShop cs6 I can access the filter>render>lighting effects but when I click the lighting effect tab nothing shows and when I watch a tutorial and people open filter>render>lighting effects a adjustable thing appears on the layer which they can edit but I can not do this. Any help?

    I had exactly the same problem and here is the answer: update the driver for your video card. And when you update, go to the vendor website! (i.e. the vendor of the particular video card you have). If you don't know what kind of video card you have, use the commands: Control Panel/System/Device Manager, then double-click on "Display Adapter". It will display a tab called "Driver", which will give you the date of your current driver. If it is anything older than maybe a year, go to the vendor site and download the appropriate driver. My download was about 260MB in size. It also seemed to improve my screen resolution a little at the same time.
    But there is more! Photoshop CC uses two things called OpenGl and OpenCL. I have no idea what they are, BUT, I think both of them must be selected in order for Lighting Effects to work on Photoshop CC. And where do you select these things? Edit/Preferences/Performance
    And finally, check the box "Use Graphics Processor", then click on "Advanced Settings". Under Advanced Settings you will see
    And you guessed it! Click on the box "Use OpenCL". I have no idea if the 30 bit display box should be checked - I was trying everything at one point.
    Anyway, it seems like Adobe has adopted new technology somewhere along the way, such technology not being included in video drivers just a few years old. Personally, I think Adobe should have made more of an effort to highlight this problem and provide an easier-to-figure-out solution.
    Hope this helps!

  • "Edge Feather" transform effect not showing up when exported to .avi

    I used the "Edge Feather" transform effect on a clip, and it shows up perfectly in the preview pane. However, when I export it to AVI, the effect dissapears. It's just not there and I can't figure out why? Anyone have any ideas?

    What kind of footage are you using? Did you render first?
    Did you try deleting all of the preview files and then render again?

  • Video on background layer is not showing up behind motion graphic.

    Hello Premiere experts,
    I'm using Premiere 6 on Windows machine and in the last few days I created a motion graphic that has an alpha channel for background transparency and it is placed on video track 2 and it works when I put a static image underneath it... that is, it shows the background image behind my motion graphic properly in the preview and the rendered video.
    But now I've put in an AVI video file behind my motion graphic, and I've tried putting this AVI file on video track 1A and 1B and rendering my movie, but I'm only getting my moving motion graphic on a black background in the preview and the rendered movie... no video from my video track 1A nor 1B is showing up in the background of my motion graphic... but when I put a static image, like a JPEG or a PSD behind my motion graphic, that does show up in the preview and in the final rendered movie.
    Shouldn't video be able to be seen behind a motion graphic?
    Thanks for any help,
    numetro

    Hello again Bill,
    My motion graphic creation has been successfull, like I said, when I place a static JPEG or PSD behind it... in that case, it shows my moving graphic and the still background image behind it, with successful transparency.
    The motion graphic creation is chronicled in the thread that you posted some replies to at this link...
    http://forums.adobe.com/thread/842405?tstart=0
    The workflow is...
    1) Import File: Bring in the graphic intended for motion - a PSD with a straight Alpha Channel for the graphic clip to be outlined for transparency... appears in the Project palette.
    2) Move that PSD graphic from the Project palette to the Video 2 slot in the Timeline... click to active that graphic in the Timeline... shows "crawling ants" around perimeter.
    3) Drag that graphic from the Video 2 slot in the Timeline palette to the Effects Control Palette... Motion Setup and Transparency Setup choices now appear in Effects Control palette for that graphic clip intended for motion.
    4) Create motion path in Motion Settings dialog box, select "Alpha: Use Clip's" and save settings... click OK and close dialog box.
    5) Select "Keytype: Alpha Channel" in Transparency Settings Dialog box... click OK and close dialog box.
    6) Import File: Bring in the AVI video intended for the background of the motion graphic - an AVI file that plays properly in Windows Media Player and IrfanView that was converted from a created WMV file to AVI format... AVI video file appears in the Project palette.
    7) Drag that AVI video clip to the Video 1A (or Video 1B) slot in the Timeline.
    8) Save the Project.
    9) Click enter for previewing  and/or  "Export Clip>Movie" to render movie.
    10) I just get an AVI file exported from Premiere 6 that is my moving motion graphic on a black backgroundl... showing NO video background as intended.
    As I said, when I'm using a still, static image as the background for my successful motion graphic, I get my motion graphic moving on the intended background... this is only a problem showing and rendering the motion graphic on top of the AVI video background.
    PS: I found that I need to double log-in each time I come to this forum now... logging in first from the "Sign In" link at the top right corner of the forums page, then it says I'm logged in, but will not give me the reply and actions options... then I finally figured out after multiple tries that I now need to additionally click the "Login/Register" link near the top of the page on the left... this has changed in the last few day.  I'm still not able to recieve email alerts of forum replies in spite of all three email alert pages being set to "YES" and "RECEIVE".
    Careful examination of my information above should make my workflow and prior actions clear.
    Thanks again,
