Text/Presets/paths animation problem
Hello
I'm running AE CC 2015 and to the va through classroom in a book (2014 Release) Lesson 3. I can't get the effect of 'pipes' to work. Is this a bug known, please? I even tried the AE CC 2014 and seems to work ok.
Thank you

The AE update can no longer see animated preview text presets
I am creating a dynamic link in Adobe Premiere Pro 2015.2 build 9.2.0 (41) to make a text driven, title using Adobe After Effects 13.7.2.3 opening, but I can see is more of the animated text presets, since I've updated. I am running Mac OSX 10.9.5.
Before, I just had to create a dynamic link in PP and it opened a new project in AE. There I could navigate the presets in Bridge and selection just click on the animation necessary predefined text and it produced a sample text. If I scrolled through the chronology of the AE that I could see the animated text. Would do scroll down until the text was completely visible, then just select the text and I edit for what he needed.
But now, I see a red bar in the center of the preview pane. (see attached screenshot) It does not change if I scroll through the timeline.
Is anyone else having the same problem or am I missing just something very obvious?
It seems to me that you have not added any text for the text layer. To see if the hosts have been added to the text layer, select the layer with the Selection (v) tool and then press U twice to see if something has changed on the layer. It's the first thing you should always do when a layer does not behave as you think it should. If there are facilitators and nothing shows up then there is no source text in the layer.
Whenever you have problems with any layer in AE and want to get help on any forum, it's a good idea to show all properties modified layer in the screenshot. The only thing I see in your text layer is that there is no source text.

Problems Photoshop CS6 text and paths
Hello, I can't find an answer to this.
I am unfortunately quite new to photoshop and im trying to create a logo, perhaps I should have used illustrator instead, but my problem is the following:
I created a path, a circle and were able to put text around it. but now, when I try to change my other text on other layers, the text tool ALWAYS comes back to that path on the layer that has the text on the circular trail and I can't select text on other layers.
How am I supposed to select other layers/text/deselect text on path?
Thank you
You double click (red arrow) to change the type?
When you do the line is highlighted as shown in the bottom example.
In addition, if you are not accurate by clicking on a layer and chose the tool move with automatic selection in the options bar, you can choose the wrong layer by mistake.

Hello, I have problems with Firefox render wrong text and other graphical problems, regardless of hardware acceleration.
With hardware acceleration on, I have problems with "ghost text cursors" appearing in various parts of the interface, more particularly in the tabs next to the X button on each tab, but also the other sections of the interface as well. The text is returned to the appropriate thickness, but in some cases flashes back of fixes too thin (see below / stop) in sync with the speed of blinking text cursors.
With disabled hardware acceleration, I have problems where the text in menus and Web pages is made too thin, making it extremely difficult to see. Issues and artifacts flashing disappeared, however.
I use a NVIDIA GeForce GTX 750 Ti with the latest version of the driver (344,48).
This only started happening around 33.0 version, maybe an earlier version (not 100% sure). I really want to look for and choose between what a crappy experience I'd rather have. I just want to how he used to, nice and clean and readable text. What can try to remedy?
Try disabling OMTC and leave hardware acceleration in active Firefox.

Hello everyone, I'm doing a script that converts text into paths, but could not find a method to do this, can someone give me a tip or a sample only as a starting point?
Thank you very much
According to the methods of TextFrameItem is createOutline(), which is the command to use.
-
I used createOutline() to convert the text to paths. However, the return is a GroupItem and I struggled to change its stroke and fill colors.
Here is my script:
var docActive = app.documents.add ();
textFrame var = docActive.pathItems.rectangle (0, 0, 200, 20);
var areaText = docActive.textFrames.areaText (textFrame);
areaText.contents = "Hello My Friend";
areaText.textRange.characterAttributes.size = Math.round(20*0.85);
var textOutline = areaText.createOutline ();
Try to change the stroke and fill of textOutline colors but I got stuck here...
Try this, I added comments next to each line
var docActive = app.documents.add(); var textFrame = docActive.pathItems.rectangle( 0, 0, 200, 20); var areaText = docActive.textFrames.areaText(textFrame); areaText.contents = "Hello My Friend"; areaText.textRange.characterAttributes.size = Math.round(20*0.85); var textOutline = areaText.createOutline(); // this is a group var compoundPaths = textOutline.compoundPathItems; // each letter is a compound path for (i=0; i

I would like to change the color of the text animation preset. Its presets are put out to pasture. I would like to change to #671e75 (purple) if possible. Any help is greatly appreciated. Thanks in advance
If you select the text layer and press the U key twice, you will see all the properties that are changed from the default settings. If the preset text sets the green color and the fill color of the text should appear. Just change the color of your new color and then select all changed properties and register a new replace animation preset the existing one. If the animation preset does not define a fill color, then you can add it by using the ADD function in the timeline. Choose RGB.

I used native presets, downloaded a few of the real writers and also from other sources, and these all seems to work fine, whether you use keyframes or to POINT all the works.
Here is a download link for a project with 1 comp, with two layers of text in. 1 works perfectly (I don't animate me) and 1 my attempt is preset on, but just saved has nothing. How can I copy and save the work as a "Preset" animation? I've selected all keyframes, saved as a preset, apply this preset to the layer, but it just does nothing and does even not all values as the rise etc.
Any ideas?
It is a file of cc.
Dropbox - Test (converted) copy zip 4. 1 comp
You need to press on the you twice to reveal everything that has changed on the layer. You save only the range keyframe selector does not want the range selector is the control.

When I add an animation preset to my text layer, it works, but it also adds the words Adobe After Effects under the first layer of text slightly overlapping the text. Anyone know why this is happening? He has never done this before and I buy a full copy of the program from the Adobe website. Thank you!
Well, I guess I can just delete. Still have no idea why it is doing this!

control file path of strength left in fact justify text on path
I often find that the paths of files displayed in the file path controls are too long and gets truncated. Problem is that the right side of the lane becomes truncated and one may say is more this file was not selected.
I'd rather largely aligned left the path so that the left side of the path is truncated and the name of the file is visible.
I bet that there is no reasonable way to do it. Please prove me wrong.
Thanks in advance,

I just played around with the property "Text.ScrollPos". The wire just a number high enough to him and he will give you everything you want.

Text followed by jerking problem
I am a long term AE user and have noticed a problem in CC 13.8.0.144 with animation amount track on text layers — specifically that the aliasing on the resulting animation vibrates / pop. This is particularly noticeable on slower animations. I'm sure that previous versions of AE product of much smoother results, someone else noticed this? Are there any workaround solution that can still produce own text to research (ie. not not using a blur effect).
Thank you
you have successfully updated to 13.8.1?
It's article was updated to fix a bug: after effects CC 2015.3 (13.8.1) corrections update is now available. Creative blog Cloud by Adobe
- Anti-aliasing has been fixed on text layers and shape.

Rate timeline animation problem frame
Hello world
I'm working on some GIF animations simple and had no problem doing in the past. Since this morning I have problems with the cadence when I try to save for web and devices. Any rate I put in the timeline panel, save the animation for the web and devices drastically reduced the animation up to a point where the animation is not yet supposed more. For example, I have an Animation that fades through some pictures and texts, and has about 200 frames with the FPS to 15 within the PS:
Once I save it for the web and devices that the animation gets reduced to 9 views in total:
The compression settings are intact:
There seems to be no way to reduce managers by force within "save for web and devices", except using static images and no animations/transitions. In my case, I have 7 "slides" in my GIF who are gathered by transitions fade to white, so PS should have at least one picture for each state transitions.
I spent most of the day looking on Google and try around me, without success.
Here are some technical details about my setup:Betriebssystemname Microsoft Windows 7 Professional Version 6.1.7601 SP1 Build 7601 Additional Betriebssystembeschreibung Non available Betriebssystemhersteller Microsoft Corporation SystemName 3770-A Systemhersteller Dell Inc.

Hi Benjamin,
Thanks for your reply. Unfortunately the resetting has not helped but...
But I managed to find the solution. This problem only occurs if you use PS transitions exclusively (without keyframes at all). I deleted all the transitions of PS and replaced by manual key image transitions and the result and the framerate is as expected today. This seems to be a bug in Photoshop.
Kind regards!

'Pull out' text preset - looks like nothing seen - wasting my time?
Hello
I read here and on Creative Cow tips on the importance of stroke in the use of this preset.
But still tweaking the strokes and the parameters predefined this effect seems to look very little like its preview in bridge. It seems to be missing something that controls the more organic 'emerging' of each individual letter that can be seen by watching the preview more in detail.
If I'm missing something that I'd love to hear on this subject - or perhaps I should just accept that the effect is not what it is cut and try to get there otherwise? Any suggestions much appreciated!
Thank you
D
Darryl: test I just realized, it seems that text animation preset will alone that like preview thumbnails in bridge, when the color of the outline is exactly the same as the background color (or if you have something underneath, the same color as this element). If you are compositing it directly on top of video sequences, for example, it won't look like as it does in the preview.
So, if you have the color of black background or black graphic third lower (for example), set the color of the text to the black edge.

Dynamic text to a text file path
Hello!
Can someone help me because I can't understand it... I have a text file in the same directory as the flash and a dynamic text with the name box: news, var: News. I need to load in the file text news.txt. The dynamic area is within other MCs when I do this command on root-stock layer I get this inside the text box:
_level0.instance10.instance12.scrolledMC.news
The command I use is simple, but I don't know how to put the correct path in it: loadVariablesNum ("news.txt", 0);
remove the variable you assigned to this textfield. causing a problem.

Report text - member not found problem
Hello
The problem I have is very similar to this knowledge base entry: http://digital.ni.com/public.nsf/allkb/2FCAAF080951FCAB86256982007AA16C except that I am experiencing on the target with no development environment machine. I installed the runtime Labview 7.1.1 first, then I had to also run a few old 5.1.1 code so I installed the 5.1.1 runtime. I am currently not able to print, I get the following error: Member not found in value Margins.vi-> simple text Report.vi-> printdata.vi...
Anyone know how to solve this problem without using the development environment?
Thank you

Hillman, I think I've solved the printing problem. That's what I did:
1. from Add/Remove, I uninstalled OR-report
2. starting at \Shared, I removed the directory NOR-reports
3. I checked the registry, but there are no records OR reports to remove - if no change here
4. I did a repair on the 7.1.1 run the engine. Printing from 5.1 seems OK now. I still have more work to do on my new 7.1.1 application, so if I see more problems, you may hear from me again.
Thanks again,
Howard
