Cannot add layer markers on the fly with Mac laptop

I tried to figure this out for hours now! I'm on a Mac laptop Intel Core 2 Duo running 10.5.6. I use After Effects CS3 Professional. All I want to do is RAM preview audio file from within a composition and Add layer markers on the fly. Apparently, it's easy with your desktop using the keypad. I remapped the shortcut in the preferences text file so that "Add a reference" is now F12 - nice and easy! (and no, this is not in conflict with the dashboard OS shortcut - I disabled that). Anyway, I tried a number of other institutions. The problem is, no matter that the shortcut, when I try to add the guide layer with the shortcut, the file stops playing! So annoying! I want to add a number of landmarks of layer timed to the rhythm, but whenever I do damned RAM Preview stops! I can't mark important points in the composition! Any help would be appreciated...

People have used cobblestones digital external (not full keyboards) to work around this problem with the new MacBook Pro keyboards. There is even an iPhone app that turns your iPhone into an external numeric keypad.

    ===============================
    If a music file Movie Maker crashes

    the file to the format of .wma before importing, you
    can have a better result.

    The converter below might be helpful to try:

    (FWIW... you can uncheck
    all the boxes on the last screen)

    After downloading and installing Format Factory...
    Open the program and choose an output folder...
    (this is where you will find your files when they are
    converted)

    Drag and drop your audio clips on the main screen...

    Select "while"WMA"/ OK...

    Click on... Beginning... in the toolbar...

    That should do it...

  • First bug Pro: cannot apply default transition during the sequence with keyboard navigation

    Hey everybody, it seems that I stumbled upon a very strange bug/problem in first Pro CC 2015.0.2 on OS X 10.10.5.

    Please check the 2 screenshots below and then please read my description of this problem down below the screenshots.

    Screen_Shot_2015-10-10_at_6_19_00_PM.png

    Screen_Shot_2015-10-10_at_6_19_19_PM.png

    In TWO screenshots, my head is in the EXACT SAME PLACE on the timeline of the sequence.

    But the 1st screenshot, I am UNABLE TO SELECT "apply video Transition ' or 'Apply Audio Transition', I am able to use their keyboard shortcuts. This is the bug/problem. I expected to be able to select the items and I expected to be able to use their keyboard shortcuts. But as you can see, they are completely gray.

    In the 2nd screenshot, everything works normally... everything as it should. The "apply video Transition ' AND 'Apply Audio Transition' are available to me, just like usual.

    So, what is the difference between the 2 screenshots?

    Screenshot #1, I started to play the sequence by pressing the space bar, I went through the edit point, and then I stopped the sequence by pressing the space bar again. Then, I pressed up arrow on my keyboard to replace the playhead in the edit point that I was coming. But when I use the keyboard to navigate in the sequence of this way, 2 menu options "apply video Transition ' and 'Apply Audio Transition' are not available! For some reason when you use your keyboard to navigate in your sequence in this way, it doesn't allow you to apply default video or audio default transitions (from the menu or their keyboard shortcuts). First Pro NEED that MANUALLY drag you these transitions of the Panel "Effects".

    Capture screen #2, all I did to fix this was CLICK ONCE with my my mouse ANYWHERE IN THE SEQUENCE itself. By clicking in the sequence, suddenly these 2 menu options becomes available to me. All we needed was a little tiny mouse click to fix this bug/problem. But of course, it is the problem... I'm sailing in Adobe Premiere Pro with my keyboard instead of my mouse, so it defeats the purpose of navigate the application with the keyboard if I constantly have to click in order for every single edit point.

    PLEASE NOTE that my sequence was ALWAYS 'the active Committee', you can tell by the blue outline around the sequence itself. If this problem is not caused by the sequence is not not the 'active' Panel before attempting to apply these default transitions.

    Any thoughts on this topic?

    Thank you

    Scott

    Hi Scott,.

    Hey everybody, it seems that I stumbled upon a very strange bug/problem in first Pro CC 2015.0.2 on OS X 10.10.5.

    Please check the 2 screenshots below and then please read my description of this problem down below the screenshots.

    Any thoughts on this topic?

    There are some overall unexpected behavior going on here, but I also see some of the things in OS X 10.10.5. Please file bugs here. He does not behave reliably if editing is enabled, however.

    One thing you might try puts in place a shortcut to "select the closest point edition like Roll. This should you configured to add a default transition with the keyboard.

    However, I found that on Mac OS X, I have to press the command twice to

    1. Place the head of the edition and
    2. to select the edition

    This also seems to be a bug. It should move both the playback head and select the edit at the same time. At least it's what I expected. I'm going to give this one as well.

    Sorry for all the trouble.

  • Cannot add drop shadow to the text in PES 6

    Everyone says to layer > layer Style > Style settings.

    But when I go to the layer Style and tries to access the Style settings, Style settings is grayed out.   (The text in question is already selected.)

    In fact, I tried to implement all get the Style settings to engage and have not been able to do.

    Also, when I go into effect and you are trying to add the cool effect (torn paper, Scarlet contours, etc.), it automatically changes the color of my text.  For example, my text is orange and when I tried "glowing edges" he changed the text to dull olive... and it certainly did not shine.

    Any guidance you can give to these questions... Thank you!

    Style settings is adjust the styles you've already added. The effects that you have listed are all filters, no effects or the layer styles and they use the foreground/background colors, then Yes, they will change the color of your text. To apply a drop shadow click the button layer styles in the effect controls panel, choose shadows in the menu drop-down and double click on the one you want. If you do not, cancel and try another. Then you should be able to set things like the angle and the distance of the shadow by adjusting the style settings.

  • Add a line around the text with a stroke

    This has been driving me crazy for years and often found ways to achieve "kind of", but I thought someone here might be able to help.

    Create a text, vectorize, add a line. OK, now I want to add a line around this whole thing so it is dye-cut on vinyl. My Cup is just a stroke with a color defined in my palette. I create 2 shots, but I can not understand how to get one to go on the other. I tried also to duplicate the image, to create just a glimpse, but it is impossible to get exactly described by hand.

    If I don't explain this right, please let me know.

    cigars.jpg

    So, I have the text converted to outlines, white and gold accident fill stroke. I need to be able to dye cut it. If you add a new related, it's at the top of the old. Basically, I want to add a stroke to the race, but only on the outside.

    Thanks in advance!

    It transforms the effect (which is a direct construction but does not really exist) in paths that exist for the cutting line. Do you need a real tool to follow line don't you?

  • Move all of the markers of the stage with clips

    My project is about half over, and I realized I want to add another element in its early days, before the start of the main band. I can easily select the soundtrack and all the clips on the video 1 track to move them all at once, but is it possible to move the markers of the scene at this very moment? I already spent the time to put in a bunch of benchmarks at times keys to the soundtrack, and I don't want to completely redo this when I move the soundtrack.

    Nope. Lock the menu markers to the timeline. Not clips. Thus, they will need to be reset manually.
