Why does my text disappear when I apply an effect to it?

Recently, whenever I try applying an effect to my text layer(s), the text completely disappears from the layer and therefore is not showing up when I preview my composition. How do I stop this? I'm using CS5.5 if that helps.

Just the text in my text layer is what's disappearing. I import my image file, drag it onto the board and then click to add a text layer. I type out my text and then go into the effects & presets, select Animation Presets --> Text --> Animate In -->,Straight In MultiLine, drag the effect into the text layer and then my text disappears, as shown in the second image below ...This just recently started happening to me and I don't know how to get it back. I'm using After Effects CS5.5. I'm very new at this programs so I apologize for not being able to provide a ton of info...

Why does added text disappear when I move the cursor

After adding text to an unprotected .pdf file the text disappears when I move the cursor and want to add a second box of text. The text in the first box reappears when I double click on the space where the box was. How do I set the text so that it remains visible and printable?

Hi,
I think the data in the PDF file was filled-in using MAC preview.
One option is to ask the user to fill the file again using Adobe Reader or Acrobat.
Or else refer to following link:

Why Does my text disappear when filling a text box?

I am trying to fill a text box a little larger than a sheet of paper (8.5x11). I have typed my statement and copied and pasted it end to end so that my text box will be filled with a repeating statement. When the text box gets about 1/5th full I get a little red plus sign in the lower right corner to indicate overflow. THIS IS NOT THE CASE. The box is only 1/5th full and should not be rendering an over flow. Even if it was an over flow the text in the box should remain visible. Hyphenation is on. Dragging the corners to resize the box is not helpful.
I have drawn many text boxes and used various size fonts and leading, nothing seems to help.

Something is definitely corrupt here. Not only does the text extend beyond the displayed bounding box, but double-clicking on the Characters line in the Appearance panel shows "No Selection," even though the bounding box still shows, and the text vanishes. Attempts to edit the text on the artboard also cause it to vanish.
When I create a new type object in your document and follow your described procedure, the result is the normal, expected behavior. Have you tried to repeat this in a new document? After restarting Illustrator? After rebooting your computer? After deleting the preferences?

Why does my text disappear when I place it on the page in CS4?

The text frame is visible. Is there a setting I have inadvertently used? The text in the frame is visible on the pasteboard but when I place it on the board, I get the little red overflow indicator on the text frame. Can't figure this one out. It is in its own layer on top.Thanks.

Thanks! You guys are fast and it is early there!
I will try this out. Feel siily!

Why does my text disappears (some of it) when I convert my .psd to a PS .pdf?

I've read every possible answer that it could be, but it increases my .pdf to more than 600 MB, that it will supposed to be!! please advice!!!

What version of PS? What text? What PDF setttings? What system? what fonts? You need to provide a lot more details. If the text disappears, the font may not allow to be embedded or you have applied some formatting or styling that can't be retained without converting it to pixel data...

Why does Pages Text Disappear On Conversion to PDF

I made a two-page newsletter in Pages '09. The text on the front page article disappears when I export to PDF. The text is there in the thumbnail for the file but when I open the PDF document, the page is blank except for the graphics and photo.
I'm using pages '09 and the latest version of Acrobat Pro. The font is Futura Medium and shows up fine on the second page.
Any ideas?

After pulling my hair out for several days trying to solve for this, my son looked at it and in 20 seconds figured out the problem. The file looked fine in Preview and showed up in the thumbnail. Exporting to Word also worked, but the text disappeared regardless of how I arrived at the PDF.
When examining the text box for the the "disappearing" text, my son chose "Bring To Front" from the "Arrange" menu and that fixed it. This made sense because all the other body copy text was the exact same font/style, etc. and displayed as expected in the exported PDF. Therefore, the problem was isolated to the properties of that one text box. In the course of laying out the newsletter, that one text box was sent backward in the layers and when converted to PDF, was hidden behind an invisible layer (there was no background of any kind behind the text, just the white "paper").

Why does FCP X crash when I apply a text layer?

I just bought FCP X and was very happy with everything until I tried to add a text layer to the timeline. The software tried to access the text attributes and crashed. I re-opened the software and clicked on the text layer to delete it and FCP crashed. The only solution was to delete the project, I am glad that I was not working on something important and tried to add this text layer. The next day I went to the coffee shop and suddenly it worked...I was thrilled. I thought that the external drives at my home might have been the problem since none are plugged in at the coffee shop. Did some more tests back at the house and it crashed. Today it back to the same status of crashing.
Has this happened to anyone else?
My work around for this problem is to build the title in Motion 5 and then import the quicktime with alpha to FCP event/project and then apply it to the video in the timeline of FCP. Not very efficient.
Running the software on a MacBook Pro late 2009, 2.66 GHz Intel Core 2 Duo, Memory 4 GB 1067 MHz DDR3, NVIDIA GeForce 9400M 256 MB

I am using 10.1.3 and finding it very unstable. I've taken some time to work with it a little while before I responded to your posted response. After updating projects and files, I did manage to share the master file. I am still finding random crashes that get to a point where I cannot launch FCP X until I restart the computer. It seems to crash consistently when trying to share DVD. The previous version did not have all these issues. I really wish I finished my current project before trying to update FCP X.
Other info regarding my current system: MacBook Pro 2.4 GHz Intel Core 2 Duo, 4Gb memory. I am running OS X 10.9.5.

Why does my image disappear when I create a slice?

I am trying to create a simple rollover where the font size is changed when the mouse hovers over the link. When I create a slice of the text area, the image disappears. Can anyone tell me why and how to correct this? I have viewed several tutorials, so I am confident that I have created the 2 states properly and am applying the slice correctly, but for some reason the image disappears in both states when I do.

Thanks, Jim. Can you tell me how I can determine if I have the correct slice type selected (image vs HTML)?

Why does some text disappear in Design View?

Hi,
I've had a website for about six years. On my Windows XP computer I used Dreamweaver 8 with minimal problems. When I upgraded to Windows 7 last spring, I bought Dreamweaver CS5. I've had a lot of problems since then. Here's the latest and most serious:
I went to edit my homepage about a week ago, and all the text in the middle column (not the left or right sidebars) suddenly disappeared in Design View. If I click on Live View, the text shows up, as it does on the internet. This now seems to be happening in each page I open. I'm unable to edit my pages.
I tried to install the recent update from Adobe.com, but was unable to do so. An adobe tech told me to reinstall Dreamweaver and try again. No luck.
I never had this problem in earlier versions of Dreamweaver. My website is on the first page of Google in many categories, and I'm afraid to change it much. How do I fix this problem?
You can view my website here: http://karathecomputertutor.com/
Thanks.

Why does my image disappear when I click on it to enlarge?

I am using iPhoto '11, version 9.4.3 When I click on a single photo from an event to see and enlarge it, the image disappears, and what I see is a black screen with a large triangle and an exclamation point inside the triangle. What does this mean? I don't think the photo is actually disappeared because I can still see it in the smaller size.

Apply the two fixes below in order as needed:
Fix #1
1 - launch iPhoto with the Command+Option keys held down and rebuild the library.
2 - run Option #4 to rebuild the database.
Fix #2
Using iPhoto Library Manager to Rebuild Your iPhoto Library
1 - download iPhoto Library Manager and launch.
2 - click on the Add Library button and select the library you want to add in the selection window..
3 - Now that the library is listed in the left hand pane of iPLM, click on your library and go to the Library ➙ Rebuild Library menu option.
4 - In the next window name the new library and select the location you want it to be placed.
5 - Click on the Create button.
Note: This creates a new library based on the LIbraryData.xml file in the library and will recover Events, Albums, keywords, titles and comments. However, books, calendars, cards and slideshows will be lost. The original library will be left untouched for further attempts at fixing the problem or in case the rebuilt library is not satisfactory.

Why does more info disappear when I choose get info

When I download a file and choose "Get info," I can see the dimensions (if it is a graphic file), color space, and the URL source under "More info." When I close Get info and reopen it again, that information disappears and never comes back. Why isn't this information saved and how do I get it back?

Hi ryandoss-
There appears to be some slow performance after signing in. This presents a blank screen. (If you wait long enough, you should see the content load).
We are working to resolve this issue. Sorry about the trouble. And, thanks for your patience.

Why does the gradient disappear when I export my document to PDF?

I have used gradient tool on simple black lines to make them fade out as they reach the edge of the document. When I export the document to PDF the lines are simply black, no gradient whatsoever. I'm a beginner at this. I'm putting together something for a wedding, and really need to fix this pronto! HELP!

Version of InDesign? OS? Print or Export to PDF and settings used?
What sort of gradient did you apply? Some screen shots of the line in ID and the PDF would help.

Why does blue dot disappear when opening mail

When I click on the mail icon to go to my "in" box, the "in" box opens properly, but them immediately the blue dots next to new, unread emails disappear and unless I noticed, I can't visually see which emails are unread. How do I fix this so the blue dots stay until I open the actual message?

Will obviously have to ensure all video and audio is fully ready for output then add the titles and export to disc without shutting down.
Have you tried exporting a video yet?
You might be disappointed to find that the titles don't render either - even if you do export before shutting down.
So I hate to make the bug even worse without any help whatsoever ;-) but that's the state of this bug as I know it.
If you can get any titles done at all, you're seriously lucky as far as I'm concerned.
This has already been discussed in other threads. It is a really rotten series of bugs - I hope they're embarrased enough to get a fix out soon (ie before the 2012 release).
I mean, who cares about professional features when you can't use titles?
