Yes, not perfect full frames, but most of the time good quality motion compensated deinterlacing produces fairly convincing results in my experience. When good quality deinterlacing works for 1920x1080 material, for me it has been mostly only horizontal or nearly horizontal vector graphics whose edges show visible problems, especially when rotating slowly. In what situations do you find 25i considerably worse compared to actual 50p? I'm interested because I have to deal with interlaced material daily. I do dislike interlacing, because it causes so many unnecessary problems.   For the solution you provided, it did not work for me. I don't want frame blending, but optical flow did not work for this situation. As I wrote, direct export from Premiere already produces a good quality deinterlaced 50p without optical flow. But Exporting the exact same via Media Encoder gives 25 images per second as a result, regardless of whether optical flow is on or off. (We are talking about converting 25i aka 50i to 50p.) ...

That Version Raptor seeems great, that you very much (although, after installing and enabling its pane, its there but I couldn't yet get it warn me about the newer version – I'll contact the author or something). For Team Projects, I didn't understand the instruction page for that. Anyway, I could change my initial request: this Version Raptor functionality could be default on all Adobe programs. Also, actually there's another crucial similar functionality: when editing on After Effects from a fresh start, as "Untitled Project", it should auto-save all the time, or very frequently, or warn about the non-save status. Countless times over the years I've started a project, gotten very far with my work, forgetting to save, and the program or whole operating system crashes. So I lost my projects that way. ...

I think I found a way to reproduce this, and I think this is a bug. Try this: get a .mp4 video (my video is 1920x1080). Simply put it on a new composition, duplicate. For the upper layer: Time / Time-Reverse Layer. Make a seamless transition so that the lower layer ends somewhere in the middle of the video and the upper layer continues from that exact frame.   Now juggle the playback position cursor back and forth to see if the first frame of the upper layer is invisible so that there's a one-frame black frame even there shouldn't be. You may see the bug already. If not, simply export to .mp4 and see the exported. It may have a black frame in the middle even it shouldn't. This may not be 100% reliable way to reproduce this bug, but if you play around like this for a while, at least on my computer it happens in just 1–2 minutes if not immediately. ... View more

The problematic frame occurs in a place where a layer has been split into two layers. The seam is the problematic frame. The upper layer's first frame is invisible while it logically should not be. Sometimes timeline shows it invisible, until I fiddle around with keyframes, then it changes randomly.   Very strange: I now created a one additional frame to insert a fix to the invisible frame. The fix works so I got the job done. However, now if I pull the layer below to one left, to see what happens, the layer above disappears! So the layer under the fix frame both is invisible (it shouldn't) and it also makes the layer above invisible. Also, now that I made the fix, another frame earlier in the timeline gets a similar vanishing problem in another layer. It's like my project is possessed to ruin my project. What's happening? Mode = Normal and Track matte = None. ... View more

I tried deleting the (huge) caches in After Effects (Media & Disk Cache). I tried software-only rendering in AME. No difference, one frame is incorrectly not showing a graphic element at all. AE shows it in the timeline preview correctly (however sometimes it doesn't show, it's random, but mostly the timeline preview works).    My computer is HP ZBook Studio 15 G7 Mobile Workstation (HP ZBSG7) and I'm using this (latest, 2022-08-02) NVIDIA driver: 516.94-quadro-rtx-desktop-notebook-win10-win11-64bit-international-dch-whql.exe.

According to Restoring to dissimilar hardware - What is Macrium Redeploy? (ReDeploy) it should be possible to switch to different hardware (to some extent, I haven't tried). I'm not sure what you mean that applications can't be cloned. I have cloned drives and the clones have everything intact identically, no difference in practice. You can for example clone to a larger drive and the new drive should have everything functional (incl. apps) without problems. ... View more

While this is slightly off topic, there are programs that claim to enable a system to boot on new hardware, using certain disk management programs (such as Macrium Reflect's ReDeploy for Windows). Anyway, I haven't tried that and surely there's an easier way to install those old Adobe programs than cloning the hard disk. ... View more

To avoid confusion, I just add that yes I can install AE CC 12.0 on a computer that has old Adobe programs already installed (from many years ago). But the problem is how to install those old programs to a new computer without cloning the whole hard drive which is really terrible if it comes to that. Surely there's an easier way. ... View more

This is a huge problem and I couldn't find any solution to this. Let's find a solution, shall we? So, I can confirm this: on two computers I have old Premiere, AE and AME installed and active. On those computers, in Adobe Creative Cloud, pressing the blue button's arrow / Manage / Other versions, I've got these readily available: Premiere Pro CC: - CC 13.0 - CC (2017) 11.1.4 - CC 7.0 - CS6 6.0 After Effects: - CC (2017) 14.2.2 - CC (2015) 13.5 - CC (2014) 13.0 - CC 12.0 - CS6 11.0 Media Encoder: - CC 13.0 - CC (2017) 11.1.4 Now in my particular case, I absolutely need AE 12.0 on a NEW computer. I can't install that normally because those old versions just aren't available in the Creative Cloud app. However, there must be just some simple way how the CC app checks whether old versions are installed and then it allows installation of those or other old versions. So, what is the check? After finding this out, a workaround might be possible. One workaround might be to clone the entire hard disk and install the clone to the new computer (a ridiculous solution, though). Can someone compare the differencies between setups with old Adobe apps installed? For example on Windows, regedit has HKLM\SOFTWARE\Adobe\After Effects and there for example 12, 15.0 and 16.0. They are identical except the path is has CC or CC 2018 or CC 2019 in them. If to a new computer installation the 12 key is exported (even without a working v12 installation), might that do the trick? Or something like this? If someone tries this, please report what happened. ... View more

Now I was able to figure out that on the uncompressed .xml, changing FilterMatchName (content) from one plugin's name to another (find and replace all instances in the .xml), Premiere will load up the replaced one. However, for some reason the automation Keyframes do not show up in the project even the plugin itself now does. The <Keyframes> are there and can be found by searching for the name of the parameter. But for some reason it doesn't show up in the project. An edited .xml can be just loaded without compressing as if it was .prproj after renaming. ... View more

By the way I already figured out that a .prproj file is actually a .gz package and behind that it is a human-readeable .xml file. And I already figured out that in the .xml ObjectID seems to mark the instance number and ClassID seems to be some general effect ID, not plugin specific. I couldn't figure out what to edit in order to change what exact plugin is defined directly in the .xml file. ... View more

Yes, I have now Premiere CC 2015, 2017 and 2018 installed. The audio plugin (VST3 version) works on CC 2015 just fine. But it crashes in 2017 and 2018. The VST2 version of the same plugin does work in 2017 and 2018. I need to use 2017 or 2018 for other reasons. The alt+drag trick didn't make a difference (crashes). I haven't found any way to get my automation track to Premiere 2017 or 2018. In fact, it seems it's not possible to copy-paste an automation track even inside 2015 to 2015's same plugin but different parameter. So copy-paste only works inside the exact same parameter in the exact same version of the plugin. Is there some solution? For example a way to modify the clipboard so that the target would accept the clipboard content? It is possible to copy a clip from 2015 -> 2018 so maybe it's possible to somehow copy also the automation track? ... View more

I would like to confirm what droopy6 said, the finishing part in the encoding process fails and all files are just deleted. I tried with default settings and the source material was some HDV (.mpeg).

Well, all that arguing was a waste of time for an average reader here. Anyway, I for one am certainly bemused as to why there is no load button in the keyboard shortcut dialog. This is the workaround for this problem (written for Windows): 0) The folder for the default new keys is at C:\Users\USER\AppData\Roaming\Adobe\Adobe Photoshop CS5\Presets\Keyboard Shortcuts\ (or similar) 1) In your new Photoshop (Edit -> Keyboard Shortcuts) save a dummy set, say NewKeys.kys 2) You can stay in the dialog, don't press OK 3) Get your good old GoodOldKeys.kys and copy that over NewKeys.kys (in explorer) 4) In the dialog select the Photoshop Defaults key and then re-select the NewKeys.kys (this loads the replaced NewKeys.kys) 5) Press OK and voilà! ...

It'd probably be the one best improvement for Flash to have this type of functionality, just with an better and easier implementation. Now I realize how bad it has been all this time, watching videos played in Flash objects, they never allow for example ctrl+w (close). I got used to it as something that simply can't be overcome. Of course it can and it should've been fixed many years ago. (Controlling both Flash object and browser on keyboard simultaneously should not be very difficult to implement either, should it?) ...

I fixed the text field problem, or made a workaround. This new solution is needed if there are text fields where you could click but you don't want to loose ctrl+w, ctrl+n etc. capability. The main downsides to this workaround are: - Firefox: you have to copy your text quickly after selection if you want to do that (selection vanishes soon) - Firefox: if you have a web link on your static text and you click it, you can't hold mouse button for 700ms+ - all other browsers: Right click + Copy does work but ctrl+c you have to press quickly, otherwise it doesn't copy - on Safari, the keyboard capability breaks if you click multiple times on a text box (probably not so difficult to fix) This is the new javascript (same as before except some new lines, rememeber the wmode=opaque thing!): <script type="text/javascript" language="javascript">     function changeFocusAgain(){         var elem = document.getElementById("anyIdThatExistsInHtml");         elem.tabIndex = 0;         elem.focus();         elem.blur();     }     function changeFocus(){         var elem = document.getElementById("anyIdThatExistsInHtml");         elem.tabIndex = 0;         elem.focus();         elem.blur();         setTimeout("changeFocusAgain()",700);     } </script> ..and the AS3:     import flash.external.ExternalInterface;         ..         function onMouseClick(ev:Event):void         {                 ExternalInterface.call("changeFocus");         }         stage.addEventListener(FocusEvent.MOUSE_FOCUS_CHANGE, onMouseClick);         stage.addEventListener(MouseEvent.CLICK, onMouseClick); ...

The mentioned solution doesn't work on (static) text fields. I was trying to find a way to detect mouse click even when mouse is over a static text field. Looks like there is no way except by putting an invisible masking object on top. That will break for example the possibility to click links on the text. Is there really no way to detect mouse click over a static text field? ... View more

I fixed it. Now I can use ctrl+w, ctrl+n, ctrl+t, ctrl+l etc. on my page even there is only Flash visible and nothing else. The method puts the focus out of Flash each time the Flash is clicked. So it's not any more possible to navigate the Flash by keyboard. That's the downside of this solution (or added bonus, actually the keyboard navigation can be also only annoying in many cases). There was also a solution forwarding only specific keypresses but I didn't try that (http://stackoverflow.com/questions/254111/flash-steals-browser-focus). This is my solution, tested on IE, Firefox and Chrome: add 'wmode','opaque' to the Flash AC_FL_RunContent part in the html add <param name="wmode" value="opaque" /> to the Flash object part in the html this goes anywhere in the html: <script type="text/javascript" language="javascript">     function changeFocus(){         var elem = document.getElementById("anyIdThatExistsInHtml");         elem.tabIndex = 0;         elem.focus();         elem.blur();     } </script> and the AS3 script needs this bit (or customize to your purposes):     import flash.external.ExternalInterface;         ..         function onMouseClick(ev:Event):void         {                 ExternalInterface.call("changeFocus");         }         stage.addEventListener(MouseEvent.CLICK, onMouseClick); ...

Is there still no fix for this? As a dirty hack, would it work to force the focus to some html element, in other words "unfocus" from the Flash object? How to do that?
