? With Ray-traced 3D are animated mattes not possible....

Hallo,
With Ray-traced 3D are animated mattes not possible ( say this help function ).
But - library.creativecow.net/mize_rob/AE_Flame-Effects/1 by Rob Mize - theese animated
mattes work.
And what means a separately area to render in classic 3d renderer?
Simply, can you do the same as in classic only with some better possibilities?
thx a lot,
In german:
animierte Masken sollen nicht in ray traced funktionieren, in o.g. Projekt funktionieren diese aber..
Und was heißt "Sie könne Komps über den klassischen 3d renderer in einer separaten Umgebung rendern?
Mir ist unklar, ob die Einschränkungen für den ray traced für die gesamte Komposition gelten oder kann
man beides - für verschiedene Ebenen - abwechselnd einsetzen?
Vielen Dank

Hallo Mylenium,
vielen Dank für deine Antwort, deutsch ist mir schon ein bissschen lieber!
Was mich irritiert, ist , dass das Projekt von Rob Mize in ray-traced gerendert keine Veränderungen bringt.
Es funktioniert also alles wie vorher - ich meine die vielen animierten Masken -.
Eigentlich sollten die ja nicht mehr funktionieren....
Ich habe das auch mit eigene tests probiert , es läßt sich alles animieren und trotzdem die Vorteile von ray-traced
nutzen!?!
Du meinst, die zu animierenden Masken in einer separaten comp realisieren, rendern und später integrieren,
verstehe ich das richtig ? ! ?
Noch eine Frage: Was meint Adobe Hilfe mit folgendem:
Sie können comps weiterhin über den classic 3d renderer in einer separaten Umgebung rendern.
Was meinen die mit separater Umgebung, - das was du gepostet hast -?
Schön, dass es deutschsprachige hier gibt, echt cool
Nochmal danke schön für dein reply und noch einen schönen Sonntag

Why are animated gifs not displaying animations in the preview?

Why are animated gifs not displaying animations in the preview?
My coworkers and I are not seeing a animation in the preview pane in Adobe Bridge CS6 even when clicking the play button in the preview window. However, we do see a graphic of the first frame and one person sees 1 frame when clicking play and one other frame and then the animation stops, however, that is not the complete animation.
I'm using Windows 7 32 bit
My coworkers are using a mac.
One coworker has apple OS Mountain Lion with a Intel Quad-Core Xeon – 64 bit system.
Is this fixable or in the works as a patch? Otherwise we have to open these docs in a browser in order to view them properly.

I've just come to the realization that some animated gifs do play fine and others do not. A coworker of mine suggests that if it's an animation made via Adobe Photoshop, it'll work in bridge but will not if it's made using something else.

Payroll area change is not possible

Hi,
When we are doing promotion action, i.e, one paryoll area to another paryoll area, In actions whatever the date we are giving is taking, but when come to org assignment it is not allowing to save with that date and throwing error " payroll area change is not possible at the end of payroll period"
For example: In Actions start date is 04.01.2010, in org assign is not allowing to save the entry with that date, but if we give 01.01.2010, it is allowing to save the record. As paryroll period is starting of the month to end of the month, that is the reason it allowing the start date of the month in org assign, but user wants the record from his desired date..
Please help me on the issue.
Thanks & Regards
Kumar

Hi Kumar,
Mid-payroll payroll area change is allowed for only a few countries including:
Canada (country grouping 07), the United States (10), South Africa (16), Mexico (32), Taiwan (42), Finland (44), and Spain (04)

I can't send emails on iPhone with my hotmail account. Is it not possible?

I can't send emails on iPhone with my hotmail account. Is it not possible?

I am having the same issue. It started this week. I have 2 email accounts on my phone. One is a hotmail. And the other one is a network solutions email. I can receive from both but not send. I've deleted the accounts and added them back on and nothing. I'm going crazy because one is my work email!

Effects Don't work with Ray-Traced 3D?

Hello,
I'm working on a 3D logo for a company, and I'm trying to snaz what I have done with some effects, but the effects don't work. For example, I tried adding the CC Light Wipe Effect, but it will only show up when I switch back to the classic 3D renderer. Google searches aren't exaclty effective when I my serach quiere has "Effects" and After Effects" in it, so I'm forced to come here looking for the answer.
Are effects supported in this new renderer? If so, how do I get them to work?
Thanks

Pre-composing and then switching off Ray-traced rendering in the main comp gives you the ability to apply effects to the pre-comp. This may or may not work for your situation.
Another option is to pre-render your Ray-traced work and then apply effects to the footage. There's almost always something you can do if you think about it for a while.
Still another option is to put a 2D adjustment layer above your 3D Ray-traced layer and apply the effect there.

Gmail emails with Read Receipt Request are returned as "Not Read"

When reading and organizing my emails with my work gmail account that have read receipts attached to them, they are reporting "Not Read", "deleted without being read" even though I have read them. This is happening both from my iPhone and from web based gmail. It seems that upon IMAP syncing, the "Not Read" status goes out.
I believe this is linked to my iPhone because I emailed one of my coworkers on the same gmail domain an email with a read receipt attached. After he read and archived it from web based emailed (he doesn't have an iPhone), it did not return any response, either "read" or "not read". This is what previously happened with emails viewed on my iPhone.
Is there some setting for Read Receipts? How can I stop these messages from showing as deleted and not read?
Thanks!!!

Just found this thread on GMail sync issues:
/t5/Nseries-and-S60-Smartphones/N8-Email-Client-Sync-issues-and-deleted-emails-still-appearing/td-p/...
So far it looks good - after following the advise in the last post by Ali_L sync seems to working. Push does at least, better than ever.
Short version:
1. Remove your GMail account from the N8.
2. Add your GMail account again, but this time make sure you decline the "Terms of Service" when they are presented to you.
3. Manually configure sync intervals / GMail IMAP folders etc.

Dng files modified with lightroom 4 that are exported do not open in cs4 with the modifications

When I modify and export dng files in lightroom these modifications do not show up in cs4 when I open the exported file. They do if I export the file in jpg format.

Jim, I appreciate the feedback. I believe the issue is as you stated- I need an update to the camera raw in cs4 in order to view the changes. Unfortunately, I do not think is possible since adobe has decided not to support cs4 anymore. My choices as far as I can tell are 1) read the lightroom file out as jpg which has the changes, 2) update to cs6 which probably has the correct camera raw version, or 3) do this cloud thing with adobe which is what they want you to do. I like to print my photos in large format, 17X22 etc, and since my set up prints out nicely from cs4, and pretty much looks terrible from lightroom, I probably will just read out the jpg files and print them in cs4. The reason I use lightroom is that it seems to correct highlights and such much more effectively than cs4. Any thoughts would be welcomed. mike

Why are animated gifs not looping

I can not understand why an animated gif set to loop twice does not loop at all. same file works in all other browsers.

This page explains the settings for that:

Why are animation presets not showing in pop-up list for fractal noise?

In a standard install of AE CS4, the animation presets pop-up list showed a bunch of presets for fractal noise (see attached image).
In a standard install of AE CS5.5, the animation presets pop-up list showed a bunch of presets for fractal noise (see attached image).
In a standard install of AE CS6 (on the Mac), the pop-up list is empty. (Yes, I enabled the "Show presets"), despite the fact that, eg, "Curtain.ffx" is in the equivalent Presets>Backgrounds folder.
Is there another switch to turn on? I'm using Mac OSX 10.7.5.

Email address with hyphens and periods are invalid - still not fixed after 2.01 update

When I use the native messaging app in OS2 I cannot send or reply to an email address that has a period and a hyphen in it.
the address i'm sending to is [email protected]
the address turns red whether in a reply or selecting the address from the address book. When trying to send an Invalid Address message appears that says "the address fields include one or more invalid addressses. please correct or remove address and try again."
8000 fixes in the new update and this isn't one of them? Why? When will this be fixed - very irritating.

Please, Lost_at-Sea, this is not a typo, it happens when I hit reply! It's also not a bounce message (which is what I would receive if I typed the address wrongly), it's an error message from the email app.
Blackberry staff have confirmed this is a bug in the forums and there is an open issue for it since mid-April.
http://btsc.webapps.blackberry.com/btsc/viewdocument.do?noCount=true&externalId=KB30115&sliceId=2&cm...
I think it's a combination of two dots and a hyphen that does it; I haven't heard of anyone unable to email to [email protected], but I might be wrong.

Transparent Animated Gif not possible anymore in Keynote 09?

I have created an animated GIF (a series of transparent GIFs) with Adobe Image Ready, which was showing and playing OK on keynote 2.0.2. I have tried the same animated GIF on 5.0, and it seems the transparency of GIF is gone, it plays OK though. It would appear silly to lose this feature on later keynotes.
Any ideas why Keynote 5.0 does show the GIF without the transparency?
Any ideas are appreciated!
-AstroGrad

You just need transparency in your file. Not sure if it has to be pre-multiplied. In graphic converter you need to remove the backgrounds. Haven't used GC in years so can't say how you can be sure it's gone but in Photoshop, Illustrator and After Effects you can choose to have a checkerboard background to tell you when you are seeing 'thru' the image and by how much (the overall opacity or mask of the whole image if that doesn't confuse the issue).
If you are using PS images they will almost certainly generated with a set of rectangles including a perimeter cropping box and white background and these need to go either before it's bitmapped in a vector base app or the relevant pixels erased after it has been bit mapped in GC. As previously mentioned, if you have a unique bkgd colour, colour selecting/keying are some ways to do this). Much faster for >10 images to generate the plots without the bkgd but this may not be possible, what software is source material coming from?
I regularly bring in vector based moving art-work into keynote with alpha from Adobe AE, Apple Quartz and rendered .mov files. Some codecs (H.264) don't support a separate alpha channel (RGBA) but PNG (slow to render) and animation and a bunch of others do. Pre-multiplying removes the A channel in the RGBA (by multiplying the R/G/B by the A values) thereby speeding and making compatible with some GPUs/render pipelines.

TS2570 iMac won't boot, GSOD with Flashing Question Mark, safe/verbose mode not possible

I have an iMac 24", just over 2 years old running OS X v10.5 (Leopard). Mighty Mouse and bluetooth keyboard, no peripherals.
It slowed enormously over the last few weeks and has now ceased to boot.
On switching on I hear the chime (blank grey screen initially), the grey screen hangs for approx 30sec before the flashing folder/?mark icon appears.
There is no further progress.
Boot key combination results:
Can reset NVRAM (Option-Command-P-R)
Cannot boot to safe mode
Cannot boot to startup manager
Cannot boot to verbose mode
Cannot boot from target media (DVD etc)
Cannot boot to AHT mode
Cannot boot to single user mode
I have followed the steps here http://support.apple.com/kb/TS2570
Disconnect, test peripheral devices and network cables - done - de-powered and rebooted. No difference.
Perform a Safe Boot- this does not work. I am familiar with the boot combinations and timings. The safe boot leads to the same flashing folder/?mark icon. I have also tried verbose, single user, AHT and startup manager with the same result.
Reset the NVRAM / PRAM - done - this worked and kicks the system into an auto-reboot after 3-5 seconds. This also demonstrates the Keyboard is fine. The subsequent boot fails at the same point via normal, safe or verbose boot instructions.
Start from your Mac OS X Install disc; use Disk Utility – I never received an OSX install disk. I have the original box with receipts etc, the only disk present is an unsealed version of iLife (yeah thanks Apple). Where would I get one?
Check your cables and power source – done - all fine.
Remove third-party RAM and internal hardware – not applicable.
Perform an Archive and Install installation of Mac OS X – how would I do this when I cannot boot the device?
Perform an Erase and Install installation of Mac OS X as a last resort – how would I do this when I cannot boot the device?
To me the problem looks like a HDD failure. I had windows (dual boot) professionally installed when I bought the iMac and since the Windows boot option is also not visible (startup manager itself does not work) I suspect the system can’t find bootable media because the HDD isn’t spinning.
An OS corruption would generally affect one or the other but presumably not both Operating Systems simultaneously.
It's hard to be certain, but I’m sure it used to make more noise.
I had a look into opening it up and troubleshooting the physical components but it’s hard to know where to start. There are no obvious ways in and I’m not a professional so decided to post a question here rather than hack it open.
I'd be grateful if you could suggest next steps here, or is it time to go dig a hole in the garden? I certainly expected more than 2yrs life from a £1200 unit.
Many Thanks,
Ryan

Thanks for the response,
I bought the iMac new, 17th Jan 2010, all receipts intact but no extended warrenty. I declined the Applecare Plan for two reasons.
(1) The sales rep seemed very confident in the product build. In fact the main justification of the price tag was the quality of the device. I'd also never had an apple device malfunction at that stage.
(2) The incumbent EU regulations are quite fair in so much as legislation dictates electrical goods should be manufactured to function for a 'reasonable' lifetime. I would be morally uncomfortable paying for rights I theoretically already have.
I triple checked on the OS X disks you mentioned but no joy. Unusual as it may be, the box has not been used and it's contents reflect the day of purchase.
I'm happy to order the OS X v10.5 DVD and attempt a boot to the disk utility, I don't mind risking a few bucks on a potential fix. I'll need to figure out where to order the disk, the call centre is closed ATM so watch this space.
What I'd really be interested in is; (a) is there a known diagnostic routine to determine the HDD functionality and (b) it is possible to replace/upgrade the HDD? This for me is where the iMac loses ground against a conventional PC in terms of motherboard/component access. It's far superior from an asthaetics perspective while things are running smoothly and the OS is great but the first sign of a hardware malfunction and there seems little or no scope to self-medicate the device.
The disk has around 40-60 GB free space.
I don't have a second Mac, nor any friends or family with a Mac to 'borrow' for the disk utility test you mentioned. I'll hunt around this afternoon/week but my instinct tells me finding a locally accessable Mac running 3 yr old OS X might not be possible. Again, watch this space, I'll post any further developments.
In the meantime any further assistance or answers to the above questions on determining HDD status would be much appreciated. No progress has yet been made on the original issue of failing to boot.
Many Thanks
Ryan

HT5628 Bootcamp with dvd MS Windows 8 x86/x64 not possible?

Bootcamp 5 gives official Apple support for installing Windows 8 so I'd like to install it on my MacBook Pro 13" Retina.
I was thinking to make a partititon of just 32gb. I don't need more, I just need this for my job with a program called MS Mappoint 2013 working just on Windows (no good alternatives for mac).
I have just a Windows 8 Pro DVD with support for both x86 and x64 installation.
Using Apple's External Superdrive it seems that Bootcamp recognizes Win dvd but it does not really want to use this dvd.
It keeps on telling me that I need a x64 version. If this DVD have got a x64 version, what's wrong?
I even tried to make a "manual bootcamp" by using disk utility, made partition 32gb FAT32, restart... windows installing program starts correctly but when you have to choose where to install it, all the partitions are not usable, not even erasing them, not even formatting them.
I don't really want to use any of Parallels or Vmware...
Anybody can help me?

Thanks for your advice BobTheFisherman.
I tried also with 100gb but Bootcamp repeats me that it needs a Windows x64 dvd.
Mine is both x64 and x86 (my key is just for x64) but I cannot go further. It even do not make the partition for Win without that x64 disk.
What I do not understand it is why Windows 8 disk boots correctly (it means it is working), and why Bootcamp does not accept it even if it is a x64 disk.
I've used bootcamp often in my past macs with win xp or win 7 and it's been always soooo easy!
I never had those kind of problems!

I have the Ai trial and i cannot seem to figure out how to do a gradient with colour... is it just not possible with the trial version or what?

Topic.

Hi there!
If you want to do a gradient with colors other than the standard BW, you just have to go into the gradient window and double click on one of the markers on the color slider. A color menu should pop up; click on the tiny button in the top right of that menu and change your color mode to RGB. Then you can select your color from there.
Hope this helps!

Error in VL02N: Business Area 701 does not exist

Hi experts,
There's an error that occurs while trying to post a delivery in VL02N, a display log is opened with the message "Business Area X does not exist", the Business Area "1701" is already created, nevertheless, when I try to post the delivery I cheked the Business Area in the Financial Processing tab and it appears as "701" instead of "1701".
I hope any of you can help me.
Thanks in advance
Eloy Venegas

hi,
For the Sales Area, check the rule for determining the Bzness Area(S&D>Basic Functions>Account Assgmnt/Costing>Business Area Account Assignment>...) and make sure ur bzness area '1701' is assigned to the sales area/or any combination that you've defined in the rule.
Let us know, if this helps?
Reward, if helpful.
Rgds,
Raghu.
