Where is the record/auto keyframe button in after effects cc?

I've traditionally used affter effects cs5/6, however after using CC I can't find the button.
Anyone else have this problem or can tell me where it is? Thanks!

Hello Todd,
I have to disagree, using AE everyday for the past 6 years to earn my income in a 30 year career, I have workflows that use that feature. Or perhaps I am just a disgruntled veteran.
The auto record keyframe feature is one of many that has uses that non-professional users may not see the value of. Since there is a vast array of projects, custom elements, client request, creative troubleshooting and workflows, one may be inclined to use things that others may never use. I was asked the other day on why would I use "content aware" in Photoshop since there was no practical purpose for it. I about fell out of my chair. Maybe I need an element to dance around quickly to specific marks on the screen, not random, yet frenetic. to do this the most quickly, I may turn on auto keyframe and just navigate around my timing marks, position the element and move on to the next. Granted, not used often, but it has its uses... Just saying. As a professional, if I forget to turn it off, then that is my fault and I should know better and have ways to circumvent such issues. I found this thread today looking for this button as well.
-cheers

How do I turn off my auto-keyframing button in After Effects CC

I know where the button is located but about 2 hours ago I opened after effects cc and the auto-keyframing button is stuck in the on position and I can't turn it off it just sits there illuminated and activated and won't respond to any of my inputs, can anyone help me please? even if it's just an idea or guess to fix it. thanks

Hello,
I've the same problem, could you let me know if and how you solved??
Thanks!

Where is the Warp Stabilizer plugin located in After Effects CS6 program files?

I need to delete the plugin temporarily to gain access to my project because it constantly crashes on start up due to the Warp Stabilizer.

NOt sure if you can actually remove it,but it should be in the plugins/extensions sub-folder inside the AE install folder. Anyway, try the usual troubleshooting first before taking such a radical step that may destroy AE and require a reinstall. Flush the caches, open the project with capslock and remove the effect.

Where's the timeline key frames button in Elements 10?

I've just installed Premiere Elements 10 on my new iMac. I've noticed that the add/remove key frames button on the left of the video tracks in the timeline appears only in track one and yet, in illustrations on the help pages (and in earlier versions of PE) the button appears alongside each track.
So how do I make that button appear?
Many thanks.

My thanks for your interest. I have thanked Robert for his contribution.
Best wishes for the forum. It's a great asset.

I would say that it's a programming Bug in the GUI display, as the Keyframe operations buttons SHOULD appear for all Tracks. However, Robert had the workaround. Bug Report. Note: PrE shows up in the Photoshop Family. Good luck, and thank you Robert, Hunt

When I send a photo from iphoto through e mail I cannot find a record in the sent box. Where is the record of the sent photo?

Where is the record of an e mail I send using i photo share? It isn't in the 'sent' box of my e mail account

What I am missing is the sharing history in iPhoto.
It's hidden and buried in the Info drawer for the photo.
And there's no way to search for those photos that have been emailed. If you want a sent copy BCC yourself on every email you send out.

Where is the "File" "transfer purchases" button?

Where is the File>Transfer purchases button in itunes? Can't find it anywhere!

You should have a File drop-down menu at the top of your computer's iTunes - if you are using a PC with iTunes 11 on it then try pressing Alt-F and the File menu should appear (on iTunes 11 it's File > Devices > Transfer Purchases)

Where is the Shuffle slide order button in iPhoto 6?

Where is the Shuffle slide order button in iPhoto 6? - I don't see one...
Click Settings at the top of the Slideshow dialog to set one or more of the following options:
** where is this button? ****---> Select "Shuffle slide order" to play slides in random order.

Rev:
In iPhoto 6 there is no Shuffle option in the slideshow mode. However, if you select an album or a number of photos in the library and use the Play button in the toolbar at the bottom there will be a Shuffle option in the Settings window. That's the only place you'll be able to shuffle the slides.
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.

Where did the "Highlight Existing Fields" button go (Acrobat DC)?

Where did the "Highlight Existing Fields" button go (Acrobat DC)?

Adobe removed the forms message bar, which is where the field highlighting toggle button was. It turns out that the following user preference works as a toggle as well despite the confusing description:
Edit > Preferences > Forms > Highlight Color > Show border hover color for fields
You can also toggle it with the following JavaScript:
app.runtimeHighlight = !app.runtimeHighlight;
You can add this to a custom menu item or toolbar button to provide an easier means to toggle it.

The ideal hardware setup / arrangement for After Effects?

Hello there,
Looking to buy some new hardware and am hoping to find some advice on the ideal hardware config for making After Effects scream. I find this questions is sorely lacking answers on the Internet beyond the basics of 'boot from an SSD' and the like... So I am hoping someone can answer these questions once and for all.
Two things I am after:
1. Fast working performance in AE. So when I move a layer about I am able to see it move smoothly in real-time as I drag it about with my mouse. Right now I get either stuttered movement when moving larger layers about, or the image begins to pixelate/drop res to such a horrible extent that I can not see what I am doing. The problem extends to when I am working with a large project file, with many layers, I get nasty lag when attempting to move about in the timeline, opening comps, etc. Everything starts to move quite slowly once I go past a certain number of layers. What upgrades will speed this element, the day to day working rather than rendering, up the most?
2. Faster rendering. Though this is not as key as point number 1.
I am guessing this performance will he helped by a beefier graphics card and more/faster RAM? I currently have a GTX 660ti 2GB and am upgrading to a GTX980 4GB, so hoping that will improve this.
I also have 64 GB of 1600 speed ram that AE happily consumes so think that base is covered. My CPU is a 3930k that is slightly overclocked. It gets maxed out when multicore rendering is happening but not otherwise. I've heard turning hyperthreading off in the BIOS can actually help AE performance?
I am booting/running AE from an SSD (Samsung 840 Pro), and have set my media cache to another dedicated SSD (Samsung 840 Pro). I run/keep my project files on yet another SSD and have other drives holing media.
My drive config plan is this:
- Boot from one 240GB SSD.
- Project files and current working media on 2x 1TB SSDs in RAID 0 (backed up)
- Further media storage on 2x 3TB HDDs in RAID 0 (backed up)
Now I am wondering if I can simply use the 2TB of SSD goodness as both the location for my AE media cache AND my project files/working media? Or am I better off having three fast and seperate storage locations? 1 for the boot, 2 for the project files and media, 3 for the cache?
Otherwise I am running AE on a Hackintosh 3930k CPU overclocked slightly, 64 GB RAM, Sabertooth X79 mobo, 660ti graphics card.
All comments/advice links much appreciated. Apologies if this has already been addressed elsewhere but I have yet to find a detailed response and only generalized comments such as 'use a fast drive for your media cache.'
What I would really like to know is the BEST drive configuration, the questioned detailed above...And what will increase the speed and quality of my real-time workflow in AE the most. Quickly navigating projects without lag, opening detailed comps with many layers, and moving large images around without lag or pixelation.
Thank you!

for After Effects advice, Eric on the forum here can give you the best info. However, I have seen him say many times that AE is MEMORY INTENSIVE,....the more, the better. You HAVE 64GB...that seems very adequate for most workflows.
The OTHER thing he says is that other than Ray-Tracing, the GPU is HARDLY used at all.....CPU speed and number of cores are a BIG factor in AE performance.....your 3930k overclocked should be adequate....the MORE OC, the BETTER.
Next is the drive system....you have NOT described EXACTLY what you are doing NOW....you mentioned what your PLAN is,but for , right NOW you said : " I run/keep my project files on yet another SSD and have other drives holing media. "
HERE is where you MAY be doing something that may....or may NOT.....be causing slowdowns.   With AE it is RECOMMENDED to use a dedicated drive for the "Global Performance Cache"...the HIGHER the speed of this drive, the BETTER, as AE STORES already "rendered" frames, ( for "previews", of course), on it so it DOESN"T have to RE-RENDER ALL the frames all over again every time you make a change to your work !!! So, in YOUR case : your OS drive is great...Samsung Pro models are the BEST...you have the 840 Pro ,which is only SLIGHTLY behind the 850 Pro in performance. ANOTHER 840,or, 850 Pro would be GREAT as the " Global performance cache drive" AND would also be the place to put ALL previews,Cache files, media cache files for Premier Pro,too. The overall speed and less latency of the SATAIII SSD will surpass the performance of a 2 disk RAID 0....even a 3 disk RAID 0.
Next....the speed at which you SERVE UP the video files can be important in preventing a slowdown.....ESPECIALLY if using large, uncompressed files. Here, you have options.....it is NOT necessary to put your project files on a SEPARATE drive from your media...you just want to make sure that the drive with your media and project files is as fast as the OTHERS in your system ! SO, you COULD use a THIRD SSD as a "working drive" for ACTIVE projects only.....a 1TB SSD perhaps...Crucial M550 is CHEAPER than the Samsung and as good as the 840 pros. As the CAPACITY of SSDs are small...you would MOVE all media and completed project files to HDDs for archiving and storage....the use of RAID with your existing HDDs would NOT be needed for this function.
Another option would be to take FOUR quality 1TB HDDs...( the Seagates are selling for $44 right now), and create a RAID 0 off the motherboard to have a large 4TB capacity AND speed similar to the SSDs!   WARNING !!! the odds of ONE drive failing are BIG....you would immediately lose ALL your data !! HOWEVER....if you back up that RAID 0 RELIGIOUSLY....you would have NO worries. One way to do THAT is to buy a 4TB ENTERPRISE level 7200rpm HDD....Seagate has one with a 128 MB cache that does over 200MB/sec. for just over $300.
Even with all this covered, there are MANY factors which can CHOKE a fast computer....the CODECS you are using have a HUGE bearing on performance. The VERSION of After Effects is important...NEWEST versions have the BEST performance with features like the "global performance cache", etc. The use of "third party plug-ins" can CRIPPLE a machine if these are NOT written to take advantage of "hyperthreading",OR, are "32 bit" and HUMBLE your machine because AE is NOW 64 bit!!
Make sure you have Windows fully updated and the newest drivers for your video card. Then , make sure your Windows POWER SETTINGS are set to MAXIMUM PERFORMANCE when"plugged in"....the DEFAULT Windows settings...even under "high performance" has setttings that will THROTTLE your GPU and CPU if you don't change them.....I found THAT out the hard way!
Finally, make sure , in AE settings, you have set the"memory allocation" correctly...there is a formula regarding how much to assign on a "per CPU core basis". There ALSO is a selection to make for "allowing multiple frames" to be processed...make sure THAT is set correctly.
Good luck !!     I hope this helps!

Encore, Buttons, and After Effects

I am trying to use After Effects to create a button - I watched Lynda.com and I think I know how to create the button in After Effects, BUT when I import via Dynamic Link the Composition and the button into Encore, Encore does not recognize the botton I have created as a button, therefore, I have no way to link my video to the button. Any help would be appreciated - thanks!

I was able to answer my own question - you need to import the project into Photoshop. You can create buttons there. Here is the only really good tutorial I found and this one is great - http://www.videocopilot.net/tutorials/dvd_authoring/ - the one thing I have discovered is that there are several different ways to accomplish the same thing when you are authoring DVD's.

After Effects warning: Could not create the file '/Users/Library/Preferences/Adobe/After Effects/13.0/dummy

I have just downloaded the trial After Effects CC. I'm running Mavericks 10.9.4 on my Macbook Pro.
When I try to launch After Effects, this message appears:
"After Effects warning: Could not create the file '/Users/Library/Preferences/Adobe/After Effects/13.0/dummy'"
I have followed the advice from other posts on this issue regarding resetting all of the permissions in the Adobe folder in my library to read and write , but it doesn't change anything. I still get the same message when I try to launch the program. Moreover, there is no After Effects folder in my Adobe folder, even though it's clearly in my Applications folder.
I also uninstalled After Effects and tried to reinstall it, but to no avail.
I sure would like to give it a try, as I was planning on purchasing it, but this is just one more issue in a long irritating line of issues that have arisen since trying to download it from CC.
Any help is much appreciated.
Thanks.

I am having this problem and this response does not make sense. I made the "Preferences" ,"Adobe" & "After Effects" folder along with the 10.0,11.0,13.0,13.2 folders all read/write. Can't seem to find an answer.

When I launch After Effects I get a warning saying: Could not create the file'/Users/mayname/Library/Adobe/After effects/13.0/dummy'.
