Why does the Roto Brush tool keep crashing?

Whenever I'm Rotoscoping using this tool (love it by the way), it works it's magic for a few seconds and then just stops. It then continues playing the video without Rotoscoping. Now I can't just hit enter and walk away while it does its job, I have to stay and watch (it isn't that bad, but it is annoying). Any ideas?

Have you actually read the help on Rotobrush and are aware of the concept of base frames and spans and how the affect the propagation? No offense, but I don't get the impression that you have and are expecting some magic to happen. Seriously, read up. Everything you describe sounds perfectly normal - if there is only an initial selection the propagation will only cover the default spans of +/- 20frames and then simply move on. Only manually clicking inside the span, drawing another base frame or extending the span duration will drive the analysis further.

  • I need help with the roto brush tool, please?

    whenever I go to roto brush my clip, I start off by making my first stroke. When I do this it changes the layer time, and it is not synced up any more. If I uncheck the render box it goes to the next frame. Whenever I make a stroke, it does not effect the frame I drew on, but the one after. Any help?

    Here we go. I have AE CS6. I'm trying to roto scope a bit of footage that is easily longer than 30 seconds. I have windows 7. When I started out roto scoping, it worked fine. At one point I clicked page down and nothing happened. When I clicked it again it went to the next frame as it should have done. Then, when I tried to corrections to the roto scope, nothing happened. No matter where I drew, either using the foreground or background tool, you know the red dot or the green dot, nothing happened. When I push page down it goes to the next frame and everything I drew on the previous frame happened on that frame. Therfore, whenever I use the rotoscope, it is not working on the frame I am drawing on but the one after. When ever I check the render box the view is now the next frame, not the frame I am working on. When I recheck the render box it goes back to the previous frame that I was working in, but nothing was happening. I restarted the roto brush tool to see if that would help. When I make my original line for the foreground there is a short pause, then it acts like the brush should. I noticed in the time line that the layer I was working on sifted over a frame to the right. If I control+z it the history says undo layer time change.
    Is that enough information to get some help?

  • How can we improve the Roto Brush tool and Refine Matte effect?

    If you use the Roto Brush tool and/or Refine Matte effect, let us know how you're using it and what you'd like to see improved.
    (We'd especially appreciate it if you gave feedback after you've had a chance to learn how to use the features and try them out on some real work.)
    Normally, we like to encourage feedback through the feature-request form, but in this case we'd like to get a more public conversation going.

    Hello,
    I've been using the Roto Brush and so far I am very impressed.  It is much more stable than I anticipated and gets me pretty far with much less work.  I'd say I can get my shots 85-90% of the way done with the Roto Brush tools, in a fraction of the time.  Bravo to Adobe for such a great tool.  I have however, hit one major snag.  I am part of a pipeline and I need to render out my mattes and pass them up the chain.  When I look at my Roto Brush precomp it is beautiful, the motion blur is perfect and the alpha looks identical when I check that out.  However when I render out my tiff sequence and pull it back in to check it, there is bleed in the motion blur.  I'm not sure this is a roto brush problem because when I look at the alpha of the roto brush layer and the rendered matte they appear identical.  Any suggestions on how to get the bleed out of the blur?
    Thanks,
    Danielle

  • Why does the error console continuosly keep filling up ? in yellow, pink & blue messages ??

    Ok, first I am using an older, slower Mac G4 400 Mhz, PCI, "YIKES" model machine. ..... The problem is that after browsing mail for 1/2 hr., Fire Fox slows down a lot. Most likely related to my machine speed. I understand that and this machine is a backup computer. I can cure the speed problem by closing FF, and relaunching it, and speed is fine for another 1/2 hr. or more. Then repeat the close and restart for speed reset as needed. This seems to clear a backlog of info. slowing down the CPU.
    THE REAL QUESTION IS; Why does the ERROR CONSOLE keep filling up with messages in pink, yellow and blue, warnings, errors, and (blue) website not supported messages ??.
    The message copy & pasted in the trouble shooting info. box is the first one to show up immediately after "clearing error console" window (5 seconds later), it will be filling up as I type now. and I don't know squat about coding or deep workings of computers, I am to old to start learning now, but it just seems to me that the "ERROR console" should not be filling up with every mouse click I make while browsing mail & websites I use everyday, that are working just fine as far as I can tell.
    I have watched the error console fill up as I brows, usually 1 mouse click can produce 4 to 8 lines in the error console, clearing it out doesn't seem to affect the speed problem at all, so is unrelated to speed (??) I think.
    But the Question is ??? why does the ERROR CONSOLE keep filling up with all these messages when FF seems to be working fine ????????
    There are now 15 (PINK) separate lines of the same message in the console window, just while typing this out. 0
    Reply to ;<[email protected]> ..... I am really curious about this and await an answer. Thank You. wayne

  • Why does the latest version of firefox crash on my windows 7 64 bit system? in English

    I've used Firefox forever, swear by it. The past few times I've installed the latest version, my computer comes to a SLOW crawl and CRASHES repeatably. I uninstall and re-install 3.6.24 and every thing works fine. I constantly get reminders that I'm using the older version and to update. I refuse to because it turns my system into a glorified paper weight. Any idea why this might happen?

    Sorry I didn't get a crash report. My computer would just come to a complete stand still. No reports, nothing. I've installed it at lease three times now, and each time it does the same thing. I have to do a hard reboot, uninstall and re-install the 3.6.24 version and it works fine. I posted the question to see if anyone else has experience the same problems. I could try it again to see if I get a crash report. I would have to do this over the weekend as I use this computer for my business.
    I appreciate your response and sorry I didn't have a report for you. I'll keep you informed as to what takes place when I try to re-install.
    Thanks again

  • Why does the vector selection tool (white arrow) change layer selection to another vector mask?

    I have been continually annoyed, when creating a vector mask-heavy document, with trying to select vector mask points by dragging a rectangle only to find that it instead selects a layer higher up which has a larger vector mask.
    The only workaround is to manually select the points of my mask or to drag a rectangle from outside the canvas, meaning I have to zoom out or scroll to the edge - sometimes annoying if I am zoomed in quite far.
    Does anyone know any resolution for this?
    I know that the move tool can be set to automatically select a layer, depending on what part of the image is clicked, but why is there not an option to turn this off for vector editing?

    What version of Photoshop are you using????
    The White Arrow tool is the direct selection tool and it work best way you point it at a path segment line and click once.  When you do all the control points in a close path segment will be marked with little squares and the two control point adjacent to where you clicked will have handles you can adjust.
    You can also drag out a rectangle with the direct selection tool. When you do you may select many closed paths in a path a path may have many sub paths and each has a mode like add, subtract, intersect etc, and each has a stacking order like in a layer stack. So if you drag out a rectangle many paths control points will be marked and control point adjacent to crossing rectangle will have handles. Can be very confusing.
    Here are two screen capture the first on shows the layer palette and path palette.  You can see many shapes and path with sub paths and modes. I also targeted layer a vector mask. The selected the direct selection tool and in the image window I pointed at the 45 degree oval path near the top right. You cab see the four control points and two with handles.   The second screen capture  I only captured the image window. I used the direct selection tool and draged out a rectangle and you cab see many segments control points and many have handles. I have no problem selecting what I want to select

  • Why does my bridge photo downloader keep crashing

    Hello, I'm running Adobe CS5 on a Mac OS X 10.6. For some reason my bridge photo downloader keeps crashing in the middle of trying to import pictures from my iphone camera. Is this something to do with iphoto preferences maybe? I believe I've set my Bridge as the default photo importer because that's the program that opens as soon as I plug a camera into the computer and it worked fine for the first few times but has suddenly developed this crashing problem.
    Thank you very much for any help or suggestions.

  • Why does the "set automatically" button keep turning off in the my date & time area of my settings? When it is off I can not use facetime or imessages.keep during off on my iPad?

    I wasn't able to use FaceTime or iMessages and found out it was because the "set auomatically" button was off under date &amp; time in the settings area.  Why does tha button turn off?

    I wouldn't suggest going to get it yourself. You could find yourself in a situation you cannot get out of and could get hurt. Second, as stated before, it is more for misplaced or lost devices, not stolen devices. Many police agencies do not feel they have probable cause, just from your statement on a map location to justify attempts to recover the device. There have been many posts from others who have had devices stolen where the police will not confront someone based on that map location. I understand you are impacted by the theft, but this is what we have insurance for. To protect your content, from now on I suggest you put a passcode on the device. I hope you have changed all of the passwords for accounts you had on the device, since all of your content and data was accessible to the thief.

  • Why does the iPhoto upgrade tool go into an endless loop

    Iphot on the imac requests the installation of an upgrade tool to use Iphoto on this Imac. downloaded the tool did the install and I keep getting sent to the web site to download the tool again. on the site it asks was this helpful, well Nah ah !! its damned frustrating. what are we supposed to do when the "upgrades" don't work. How do I get into Iphoto ???? thanks.

    I agree with you.  Also the install location isn't that intuitive since we normally look in the Applications folder for installed applications.

  • Why does the updated version of iTunes crash when trying to watch TV shows I bought?

    Hi,
    just yesterday, I got a notice informing me that there was a new version of iTunes ready to be downloaded.  I went ahead and downloaded it and everything seemed to work fine until I tried watching a TV show I already had on there.  Every time I would try to start an episode of one of the TV shows, iTunes would crash and shut down.  I've never had an issue before, why now after this update?  Can someone give me a reason as to why this might be happening and if I can possibly fix it?
    Thanks,
    Victoria

    I just found out from another post on how you can fix the issue.  Open QuickTime Player on your computer and go to Edit >> Preferences >> QuickTime Preferences.  Once your in QuickTime Preferences, click on the "Advanced" tab then uncheck the box that says "Enable Direct3D video acceleration".  I tried this and it seemed to solve my problem.  Hope it works for you!
