With Knoll Light Factory how do you get rid of the pinpoint of light that overlap obscuration layer?

I have KLF 3.0 on AE CS6, I am trying to add a nice flare to some keyed footage of a rock star for music video...
I set it up so it looks like a light is behind him and I want him to obscure it a bit when he moves around... However, I can't get rid of the little pinpoint of light where I have the source! My obscuration layer works properly, as he crosses it it dims the light, but the light doesn't totally disappear when he's in front of the "Source"! There's still a little pinpoint that crosses over him ruining the effect I'm going for!
Does someone know how to get rid of that little artifact?
I've tried tweaking all the settings to no avail...
Thanks all!

Interesting. I have also experienced a similar problem involving a Knoll lens flare effect (v. 3.0) and obscuration, in this case some 3D text, backlit by a Knoll flare applied to a background layer. The flare moved across and behind the text and faded in and out either side of the text within the comp frame via keyframed opacity settings. The pinpoint of light appeared against the background at the end of the flare's path (beyond the text) on an opacity keyframe that was mistakenly adjusted to 1% instead of 0%. However after re-setting it to 0% and RAM previewing the pinpoint of light remained. Couldn't be eliminated. It was permanent and was also visible in the rendered output. The only quick way to eliminate it was to replace the background layer with a new one, add a new Knoll lens flare effect, copy and paste the keyframes from the original Knoll effect, check the opacity was indeed set to zero at the total fade-out frame and render/playback again. The pinpoint was gone. Puzzling. Not sure if this is what's happening in your case though.

    How do you get rid of an old Apple ID that hasn't been used in a while in which you no longer remember the password and the email account it's tied to no longer exists?

    The password will not be sent to you, because Apple does not know it. They will send a link where you can reset the password. It will be sent to your Rescue email address, not the iCloud email address. If you don't have one contact Apple Account Security and they can reset it for you: http://support.apple.com/kb/HT5699

  • When using 'sponge' effect on a fill, how do I get rid of the white 'pixellations' (if that is what they are called around the edges of the fill?

    When using 'sponge' effect on a fill, how do I get rid of the white 'pixellations' (if that is what they are called around the edges of the fill?

    I tried to give you this solution before, but maybe you missed it. This simple procedure will mask out all the various sponge edge-artifacts. Here it is in simple steps:
    1. Make the path shape you want to apply the sponge effect to.
    2. Highlight that path, and select Object > Path > Offset path ... choose +2 points (or whatever works for your drawing scale, to ultimately eliminate the outside line and the artifacts) -- this will make a slightly larger shape, based on the original shape.
    3. Cut the outside path (command or alt-X), select the inside path, and paste the outer path BEHIND the inner path (command or alt-B).
    4. Apply the sponge effect to the OUTER path.
    5. Highlight BOTH paths, and create a MASK (command or alt-7).
    Now you have your original shape, with sponge applied, and the outer 2 points (or whatever your Offset Path was set to), are masked out, masking out the outside line and the sponge artifacts.
    This works with any Document Raster Effect Settings dpi.

    Hello enrique a.
    Instead of trying to re-invent the wheel on this one, take a look at an article such as this one to help you take care of these exclamations.  Basically, it means iTunes is unable to locate the file on your computer anymore.

    Perhaps you are loading a template that has a text block already on it.
    You might try the blank template option and set that as your go to template in your preferences

    How so?  You trying to type over it? If you keep typing the addresses drop below to next line.  I have tried and tried to make it disrupt anything without success.

  • How do you get rid of the pending update from app store updates screen?

    I own an 64GB iPad 2+3G. The App Store icon has a red circle with a number 3 in it. That means I have 3 updates pending.
    I tried to download the updates to Pandora and Kindle using 3G at first. It did not work. I assumed it was because it was over 20 MB.
    (I did not try the Vegas Towers one.) I went to the library and it still would not download via their wifi.
    The description of the updates mention the retina display of the new iPad (3). Is that the cause of the download problem? I have already downloaded the iOS 5.1 at the library. Well, it is not that big a deal for me if I don't get the updates. But how do I get rid of the pending updates? How do I get rid of that little red circle? Also, I have not been able to use the Pandora or Kindle apps. They just keep saying waiting. I got boxes that said download failed and offering choice of done or retry. Since nothing happens, I chose done. So, I cannot update my apps, and in the meantime I cannot use the apps because the downloads stalled. I would like to abort the downloads and get rid of the updates from the update screen. I want to be able to use the apps again. Can anyone provide a solution? Thanks!

    Hi Panamark,
    The problem has been resolved for me. I am a little fuzzy on how it got fixed.
    I only have 3G, so I think I went to the library to use wi-fi.
    I think I just deleted the stuck apps, and the downloaded them again. You do not have to pay again when you download a previously purchased app.
    It is now August, and fortunately I have not had any stuck apps lately.
    As you may already know, you cannot download an app over 20 MB via 3G.
    I have the Kindle app also. No new updates lately. I only bought one thing using Kindle. It was a guide to iPad that was only $1.99 or so, but it did not really have anything that cannot be found in normal free Apple guide.
    I have borrowed an ebook from the library using Overdrive app. You can choose the ebook version from Kindle.
    I don't have any weather apps.
    Let me know what happened when you get the chance.
