AE makes only physical visible layers?

Hello

I will try to explain myself as accurate as possible.

I have 3 layers in a composition. They are stacked on top of each other, and only the background layers is visible at the beginning (the other two layers are edits on by opacity later).

I have an effect of very demanding ram/processor (camera Lensblur with 50px blur) on the layer below and no demanding effects on the other two.

My question is now:

After Effects takes the lower layer counts, even if it has been hidden by not demanding layers on the top, or AE only 'look' visible layers?

Thanks in advance

It depends on the EI version you are using. The newer versions do a better job of optimization makes.

One way to find out how it works is to test it. Back and see if it speeds up considerably once the lower layer is totally obscured.

I use AE for more than a decade, so I'm used to the layers of cut once they are no longer visible in order to make makes it faster.

  • Is it possible to only select the visible layers to copy/paste in place.

    Hello!

    I must be missing something.  In Adobe Illustrator, when you select a layer (or Sub-layer) to copy, is it possible to copy only visible layers and not those hidden?

    When I provide my clients with their final illustrator files, I only want to register the approved artwork.  Currently, I make a copy of the file and go through and delete hidden files, it would be much easier to copy and paste in place visible layers in an Adobe illustrator file.

    Thank you!

    Given that your items are grouped, select objects on the artboard should be as effective as Select layers in the layer panel.

    You will not be able to resolve this layer-selection-irritation. Happened for some versions. You might consider to report it as a bug.

    Hey beginner, Hey Suresh.

    Each layer has its own ' allGraphics property, for a nicer way to do is to use that:

    var doc = app.activeDocument;
    var myLinks = [];
    for (var i = 0; i < doc.layers.length; i++) {
              if (doc.layers[i].visible) {
                        myLinks.push("Layer "+i+"("+doc.layers[i].name+"):")
                        var layerGraph = doc.layers[i].allGraphics;
                        for (var j = 0; j < layerGraph.length; j++) {
                                  try {                                        //  not all graphics have a itemLink, for example the embedded ones
                                            myLinks.push(layerGraph[j].itemLink.name);
                                  } catch (e) {
                                            myLinks.push("Error: Graphic " + j + " on layer " + i + " might be embedded");
                                  }

  • ACR adjustments after merge visible layers

    After I work on photo in LR, I want to open it as a smart object in PS. I'm doing this so that I can continue to make adjustments in ACR. Once in PS, I do typical changes with adjustment layers, still try to work non-destructively. However, at some point I will use merge visible layers (Ctrl-Alt-Shift-E) to do some cleaning pixel-based. Once I do that, it seems that going back to ACR in the object dynamic is no longer an option. Do you know why this is the case?

    If the smart object layer was visible when you did the Merge visible layer. There is no longer the smart object layer all layers that were visible have been merged into a single layer of Pixels a raster layer.    All RAW data and ACR settings were lost during her Merge visible layers.   You can convert this layer fused to a smart object layer and use ACR as a dynamic filter on this layer to smart object. If you use ACR as a filter on the layer without converting previously to a layer to smart object ACR will be like any other destructive filter.

  • Missing elements only on certain layers, only on certain pages, Ghost - CS6 INDD

    Items on certain layers, only on certain pages, disappeared while I was working on other pages in the document.

    • The layers Panel expands to show that there are several elements on the page, but elements (text boxes and a chart area) does not visibly show up on the page. Yes, I have reviewed the "layer options" - this isn't the problem
    • I'm not able to choose them, even when the file is a visible layers. Yes, shows the symbol of the eye. These issues all come while each layer is 'on' - so it's not the problem.
    • Only 2 of the 14 layers are made... and just over 10 pages (about 308), although not all the elements on these 2 layers disappeared on these 10 pages, there are a few anomalies that has not disappeared
    • If I stick a new element in another layer, while the box is checked I can move in my "layer of problem" and the form will visibly disappear (although always register as something existing in the layers panel). As long as I do not deselect, I can move it to another layer using the layers panel, and he re - appears. If I deselect the, I can not select the question again using the selection tool or layers panel again, but it still shows that the element exists in the layers panel. I have not found a way to deal with these elements 'Phantom' again. S.O.S.!

    I've never seen this problem before. At 3 other designers see it to confirm that I wasn't crazy. They never saw coming forward either.

    Working on a project to design complex book... I mean here on 2200K + links images, 308 pages, 40 + master pages and 14 active layers.

    Would love to no explanation for this software error.

    I wish l could explain it's "human error" but I have not worked on these affected pages today. I noticed missing items when I went to review the chapter. I worked in the file all day today... and it is very disturbing: I printed these performed 10 pages late yesterday afternoon. I went to retrieve this file in time Machiene, but my backup file also had the same problem of 'ghost elements' (even if it backed up once I have printed, and the impressions were very good). I had to go all the way back to file on Monday, which was pre-re-design of these pages.

    I use InDesign for 8 years and have never encountered a problem like this before. I hope that someone out there!

    Is there any other object in front of him, maybe - a large empty frame filled with perhaps paper? If this isn't the case, I would say that there is probably some kind of file corruption and I save a copy in the current state as backup, and then export to .idml to see if you can clean it. See remove minor corruption by exporting

    You should probably also do a Select All on the page and see if you see single-point stray objects or other objects that you do not (at the time on the screen of the page or in the layers panel). I saw maybe three cases in 8 or 9 years of single point objects with a fill assigned which caused all sorts of behavior strnge. I never managed to create on these intentionally, however.

  • by selecting all the blocks of text on all visible layers

    I want to select all the blocks of text on all visible layers.

    the script below will select all the blocks of text, even in groups, but if the layer with the text is invisible the script error. (target layer cannot be changed)

    If (app.documents.length > 0) {}

    var doc = app.activeDocument;

    var numTextFrames = 0;

    for (i = 0; i < doc.textFrames.length; i ++) {}

    textArtRange = doc.textFrames [i];

    textArtRange.selected = true;

    }

    }

    So I made this script to select blocks of text on only visible layers, but now missing text belonging to a group.

    var layerCount = activeDocument.layers.length;

    var docSelected = activeDocument.selection;

    for (i = 0; i < layerCount; i ++)

    {

    currentLayer = activeDocument.layers [i];

    If (currentLayer.visible == visible)

    {

    for (j = 0; j < currentLayer.textFrames.length; j ++) {}

    textArtRange = currentLayer.textFrames [j];

    textArtRange.selected = true;

    }

    }

    }

    can someone tell me why it is not some frames of text bound in a group when made this way and is it possible to get all managers of related texts selected on all visible layers?

    Thank you

    Duane

    Try this:

    if (app.documents.length > 0 ) {
        var doc = app.activeDocument;
        var numTextFrames = 0;
        for (  i = 0; i < doc.textFrames.length; i++ ) {
            try {
            textArtRange = doc.textFrames[i];
            textArtRange.selected = true;
            } catch (e) {}

  • Make unique anchors (visible and printable)

    Hello

    I have a vector image which I would like to convert to "connect the dots" image, so I don't need that anchors without segments between them. I deleted all segments and have only anchor points now. My question is how to make unique items visible and printable?

    I would appreciate is someone also suggests how to remove all segments automatically without selection each of them.

    Thank you and have a wonderful year!

    To get only the anchors: select all, then select > object > poignees handles management, then delete

    To get to the position of the anchor points use the script "Find and replace Graphic" http://kelsocartography.com/scripts/

  • How to make the handles visible direct selection on the pasteboard?

    When I go to for transformation/resize images within frames using direct Selection, I don't see the handles of the image because they are white against a white cardboard.  I use InDesign CS5 (ver 7.0.4) on a Mac. I've been using InDesign for a few years and never noticed that it was a problem; all of a sudden, the handles seem invisble. I don't remember what the color scheme was before. (Maybe I'll lose my mind). The colors did not alter an update? There is an option in the preferences to choose the color of the pasteboard, but this does not seem to have any effect. In the meantime, I can't find the handles to resize/convert images. I can enter a percentage to scale, but it is sometimes useful. How to make the handles visible direct selection on the pasteboard?

    If you're talking about the color of a path and its handles, which is dependent on the color of the layer selection. Go to the layers panel. Double-click the currently selected schema and change the selection to something darker color.

  • Movie Maker: Only necessary updated to include Source file Clip Footage.

    Hello - I have created a movie using parts of various DVD and wide.  I am to convert each DVD in some parts of an .avi file, then the image preview to see what are the parts that I want in my film.  Say, for example, I have import a 80 MB, 10 minutes .avi file into movie maker.   I then split into clips manually using only a few pieces I want.  So on this file, only 1 minute is actually used in the film.  I remove all the remaining elements of movie maker letting those that I need, but these clips are always referencing the original 80 MB file.  So, I need to keep the file 80 MB on my hard drive just to use 8 MB of it in the film. This is forcing me to keep files on my computer when I only need part of it and could make my move over much bigger it must be.

    Is it possible to export the individual after their separation clips so that the source files I need to keep is only the part of the clip I need?

    When I save my project as a movie, he's going to bring to this large file 80 MB for the final version, or only the part of the file I need is?

  • Export the visible layers in photoshop by using the script.

    Hello

    I am new to adobe script, so please forgive me if this has been covered before.

    I have a book script Adobe Scripting of Chandler McWilliam, I want to use. Essentially, it exports all visible layers in a document open in PS. The script works, but I can't seem to export to a folder/directory of my choice. It is default export to the folder that contains the Photoshop application.

    I use a Mac.

    The Script looks like this:

    function exportVisible (doc) {}

    var myJPEG = new JPEGSaveOptions();

    myJPEG.quality = 10;

    myJPEG.formatOptions = FormatOptions.STANDARDBASELINE;

    var myPath = ' / users/tr/Desktop/JAVATESTFOLDER ";

    var myFolder = new Folder (myPath);

    myFolder.create ();

    var settings = new Array();

    var current; Reference to the current layer

    for (var i = 0; i < doc.layers.length; i ++) {}

    current = doc.layers [i];

    settings [i] = current.visible;

    doc. Layers [i]. Visible = false;

    }

    for (var i = 0; i < doc.layers.length; i ++) {}

    current = doc.layers [i];

    If (settings [i]) {}

    Current.Visible = true;

    var myFile = new File ("Img-" + current.name + '.jpg');

    doc.saveAs (myFile, myJPEG, true);

    Current.Visible = false;

    }

    }

    for (var i = 0; i < doc.layers.length; i ++) {}

    current = doc.layers [i];

    Current.visible = settings [i];

    }

    }

    exportVisible (activeDocument);

    I tried many variations, but in vain. I would be very grateful for any advice.

    I've not heard JJ found, but you need to add the path of access, but with my corrections.

    var myFile = new file (myPath + "/ Img-" + current.name + '.jpg');

  • Can I make a physical copy of the elements of 14 photo shop?

    Yes,

    Hi all

    This is my first ever having to ask a question about the photo shop elements. I want to buy, download and install items 14. My question is. If I do I'll be able to make a physical copy of the software? The reason I ask is because in November last, I had a catastrophic computer crash and after another I could not reload my previous version I had but I contacted Adobe and a tech was kind enough to help me find the problem. So my question because I understand that when you buy and download that you can use it on two computers if necessary. I am grateful for all someone could give me advice. Just one more question. I couldn't just burn the exe file. file to download Adobe on a CD or a DVD?

I clicked on the part of area of "copy of area" (right of the screen) to the modus of import and the images showed once again.

  • The invisible layers using the text returned on visible layers

    I'm working on a newsletter page 8 for a customer. There are 5 versions of the newsletter of new pages 3-6 are common to all the 5 editions, pages 1-2 and 7-8 is unique to each version. I use an InDesign document with 6 layers, 1 layer of background (#1) pour common/story layouts and a separate layer for each version (#2-#6). When laying on the stories of page 7 (a single page) my invisible layers affect the provision on visible layers. I have a story on layer #2 all plotted, so when I move to the layer #3 I disable #2 and light #3 which should give me a blank page to work with. The page appears empty, but when I add my pictures and text, information on layer #3 is being moved by what looks like a build-up of layer #2. Why is this invisible layer affecting the layout on a visible layer? How do I fix this so I don't have to go back and rebuild individually 5 versions? Thank you!

    It is exactly as expected. If you want to disable, open the properties of the layer of hidden layers, and it can be.
