Releasing the clipping with masks mask nested clipping releases each of them.

Hello. Often, I find that I have several clipping hide groups contained inside a larger clipping mask.

When I release the main clipping mask, all of a sudden all the clipping masks that were inside are also released, ruining my design.

Is there a reason for this? I'm doing something wrong?

It doesn't seem like it should work this way.  If I take off the cover a large box containing several small boxes, the smaller boxes do not lose their cover as well. Please help, what I will meet all the time at work and I slowine down.

Thank you.

If you want so broadcast as a clipping mask, select it with the direct Selection tool or the palette layers, and then run the command of liberation.

  • Sequences of Hotlinks PP to the SG with footage not nested clips

    Anyone know how to work with PP sequences that have been sent to the SG and that include nested sequences?

    The problem I have is that I often use sequences nested for my b-roll but when I send the main sequence to the PP SG with Dynamic link, I can't develop these nested sequences. This means I can't rank of each element of the nested sequence, the layers of classification applies to all the clips. It is a problem that the clips are often very different. Around that, the only way is to turn trigger my project between the PP and SG several times. Once for the main sequence and once again for each nested sequence. It is a real pain as everytime you need to close your PP project, and then open it again when you come back to SG.

  • Snap the clipping on the grid mask

    Hey Merry Xmax to all the world,

    I have a clipping on an image mask so that I can hide a part of the image. Now if I try to break the masked image Illustrator will use the image adjusted limits (i.e. the hidden part of the image) as a reference to align everything. The result is that the image itself always end badly aligned with the grid. In order to solve that I have to manually enter the correct values in the transform Panel, which is a pain. Is this expected behavior? If so, I don't see any point of it. Or maybe I'm missing some preference?

    Find attached a screenshot illustrating the problem, note how the hidden part of the image is perfectly aligned with the grid so that the mask (the visible part of the image) is misaligned.

    grid.png

    rsantiago,

    What happens if you view > Snap to Grid checked (you can check the object selection by path only in the General preferences) and then with the Selection tool:

    1) click on the clipping mask.

    (2) move the cursor to be close to the desired angle, Point anchor, but just outside the image.

    (3) click to deselect it, and then move the slider (align and follow the side of the image which is indicated by a full rectangle then) snap up the angle which is indicated by a rectangle hollow, then ClickDrag to the desired grid intersection/place?

    Should allow you to drag all through the corner of the desired image. You can see when you click to ClickDragging star.

    With path only, you can follow the side (vertically or in the past), without it you is perhaps inside the image so that you can go to the outside and to the up/down, to hit the corner.

  • Apply the clipping on a group object mask

    Hello

    I have a background and I need to apply a clipping of a group object mask. I can't perform the task that it clips only one object in the group.

    I need to some tips and advice. Please see my screen shot shown below. Thank yor.

    David,

    To be more precise, you can, for a clipping mask,

    (1) create the object in the background to be cut;

    (2) create the clipping objects, such as 3 separate letters (or just three circles or other) and place them as you wish on top of the background object;

    (3) select all letters/objects and object > compound mask > make;

    ((4) ShiftClick the background object or ClickDrag on everything or Ctrl / Cmd + A to select the two 1) and 3) and

    Object > clipping mask > make.

    and an opacity mask.

    (1) create the object in the background to be cut;

    (2) create the masking objects as objects of filling/nostroke in black or white, such as 3 separate live/described letters (or just three circles or other) and place them as you wish on top of the background object;

    (3) select all letters/objects and Ctrl / Cmd + G to group them (with the letters, you can use Object > compound mask > do instead);

    ((4) ShiftClick the background object or ClickDrag on everything or Ctrl / Cmd + A to select the two 1) and 3) and

    Click transparency Launcher (click on the right arrow above) do with with Clip opacity mask and mask invert checked (black letters, mask Invert unchecked for white letters).

    What version of Premiere Elements you are using and on what computer operating system is running?

    For now, I'll assume you use first elements 12 on Windows 7, 8 or 8.1 64bits.

    I did not care Video Filter, but if I apply fx effects/Advanced adjustments/mixer for the selected

    clip (my attempt to the video filter Neat counterpart) and then aim for Clip Menu/effects of mask, the minute

    I hit apply, the clip lose the channel mixer effect.

    So far, I tried a few variations but the one that works for me right now regarding what you are looking for

    is

    a. apply the video filter neat on your clip.

    b. export this clip of chronology in a format compatible with the project.

    c. re-import the clip in the project and then apply the mask the effects of

    which you apply the Gaussian blur effect.

    I'm going to explore other ideas shortly.

    I'm not sure of what you see when you wrote

    I used the CAP in the clip. When I try to use a mask the effects of blur me out of the interview he then places the noise reduction in the mask of the effects too.

    Please check out my blog on all the mask effects

    First Elements ATR troubleshooting: PE: effects of mask

    Then you can go back in the way of a solution/solution to your specific problem. If necessary, I will download

    and install the video filter for my tests.

  • New adjustment layers - create the clipping mask?

    This just started happening.  I use Windows Home Premium 64-bit and 64-bit Photoshop CS5 (not extended).  My system specs are listed below.

    I've been editing a series of photos when the levels adjustment layer dialog box started to behave abnormally.  Finally, I realized that, in the "New layer" dialog, the "Use previous layer to create clipping mask" is checked.  When I click on button othe levels in the "Adjustments" pane the new adjustment layer is also indented as if I had used the Ctrl + Alt + G key combination.

    I restarted Photoshop and got the same behavior, then restarted Windows and always get the same behavior.  I am sure I have inadvertently enabled something, but can not find the place where to retrieve the original bahavior.  Does anyone know where to turn?

  • Help with the looks to copy it from the clip of

    I so want to wrap your head around this program frustrating (I do so well with the rest of the suite Adobe), but I'm fighting.  It should be simple, but try as I might I can't seem to make it work.

    After building a glance on a clip with the color wheels and sliders and the primary and secondary layers and masks, etc... I just want to COPY exactly the look on the same instance of the clip in subsequent shots.  Or maybe who will overlook a different plug, but the same time otherwise.

    I don't want to use the shooting function.  I want to COPY, as you may first CS6 and now with the attributes of the dough into CC.

    I've read and seen in the tutorials a confusing function that involves the Alt keys and keypads, but I'm on a Mac of the retina that has the smaller keyboard.  And this copy feature seems limited to spaces '9 '.  What about a clip that reappears 10 slots later?

    Am I missing something?  The manual says hitting 'C' allows you to copy a grade, but then what?  There is no function "Paste."  Help!  And I thank you.

    If I can't do that, then this program is certainly not for me.

    I use the C all the time. This is copy - paste at once:

    1. Select the item you want to copy to

    2 hover your mouse over the clip you want to copy from (don't click)

    3. press on "C".

    The clip in step 1 should have now the ranking form of battery the clip in step 2.

    My Clip + today reminded me that I need to connect it to Napster to renew my songs.  So I did the same thing I have been doing for years - connect my Clip + to my laptop, open Napster PC software on my laptop, then the synchronization and the Clip and Napster away into the sunset, hand in hand, until its time to do it again.
