If i have misunderstood the problem my apologies, but are you sure its not just caused by the Auto Render option in the User Preferences?

Bottom right hand corner – tells your mac it can render if you leave the machine idele for specified periods…

Thanks again Danny,

unfortunately i don’t think thats the problem…its definitely running in 64bit.

I will have to contact Adobe, as my licence has also reverted from full to trial. Whats really annoying is the laptop needed its hard drive reformatting after an Adobe upgrade crashed mid flow, and corrupted the drive structure. Since getting it back up again, CS6 has been acting hokey, and has convinced itself that i’m a trial user only, even with the serial entered!

regards
Adam

Hi Danny,

Its a MacbookPro with the Nvidia GeForce GT330M & Intel HD Graphics gpu’s. I have the auto switching off, so its the Nvidia card thats in use.

I tried looking for the Encore specs on adobes website but couldnt find them!

Good Luck Greg,

never give up hope. Similar thing happened to me many moons ago – i was made redundant, and ended up selling life Insurance for a year followed by three pushing paper in an office. But I used my previous post skills to on hobby projects to stay sharp, and spotted the need for videos in the company i worked at. Made a video selling the idea of video, aimed directly at the company, and managed to get in front of the board of directors. When the video stopped, they wanted me making their corporate videos!

That was nearly 20 years ago, and whilst i was only at that company for a few more months, I have never worked outside tv since!

Keep you eyes peeled and your wits sharp, something good will happen.

ps. the previous poster was right – LA is one town. Most editors live elsewhere, it’s just LA shouts loudest!

November 21, 2012 at 1:25 pm in reply to: Positioning of titles

my own feeling is that it has nothing at all to do with newspapers, and everything to do with how your eyes view the world. Compositional notions have been in place much longer than the printed dailies.

I may be talking nonsense here, but it has struck me that my peripheral vision feels as if it sees more in the lower half of my vision than the top half. Perhaps at an evolutionary level, the brain expects there to be more dangers and things to be aware of on the ground than in the air.

Overtime this has caused a subtle concentration of senses that register the lower vision, and may have even directed our subconscious to accept this slight off balance between ground and sky as how things should be? when your vision is seeing what is expected, there is less tension and conversely, when you put your graphics elsewhere, you increase the tension and cause the brain to notice something is awry.

I also feel that looking directly at something feels physically awkward. Its more comfortable when my head is ever so slightly tilted down, even if my eyes are tilted up to compensate – again increasing the amount of lower peripheral vision.

discuss…

I would certainly recommend the Dell Ultrasharp U2711. I bought one a couple of months back when one of my Cinema 24 displays died.
Very happy with the Dell – lots of connectivity, good clarity, colour seems accurate.

I have not got Thunderpants so cannot attest to how it behaves with that, but if its anything like the dual link dvi you won’t be disappointed. Its a lot of monitor for the money.

thanks Bob – i spotted that product only after i had posted my question! Don’t know why they dont package the power supply with the device though – seems a little odd.

As you have responded, would you mind me asking how two different sync types can co-exist in the same suite?

I was always taught that you should have only one black burst generator. So i am puzzled about what i should be feeding to the various bits of kit. My Kona 3 seems happy with BB unless i try run Smoke. Everything else is happy with BB – mainly because my kit is all Pal SD digibetas etc. No HD kit in my room.

thanks
Adam

October 22, 2012 at 9:34 am in reply to: Moving Assets in the OS without Breaking Link Inside AE?

You have already mentioned the most obvious way – use the “Collect Project” and instead of manually shuffling your files, get AE to put them in a logical place.

As Dave said, its not wise to move files around.

What i don’t understand is why, if you keep your files in the places you have suggested, that you would feel the need to re-locate files in mid-project. Thats just creating more work and more potential for losing stuff.

sadly don’t think that is ever going to happen. I didn’t know it at the time, so its not even a buried memory waiting to be found!
