Help with rendering titles please?

I can't figure out why my titles (after being rendered completely) look fuzzy upon export in FCP. Can someone give me a clue what I might check to fix this?

#2 Blurry Playback
Shane's Stock Answer #2: Blurry playback
ONLY JUDGE THE QUALITY OF YOUR MATERIAL ON AN EXTERNAL BROADCAST MONITOR, OR AT LEAST A TV.
The Canvas shows you what happens after the codec you are working with has been applied. The Viewer shows you the material in its native format. Once you drop the footage from the Viewer into the timeline, it inherits the attributes of the sequence. If it is a DV sequence, the footage will render out as DV.
1. Disable overlays on the Canvas.
2. Make sure you've rendered everything (no green bars at the top of the timeline).
Video playback requires large amounts of data and many computations. In order to maintain frame rate and be viewable at a normal size, only about one-fourth of the DV data is used in displaying the movie to the screen. However, the DV footage is still at full quality, and is best viewed thru a TV or broadcast monitor routed thru your camera or deck.

Help with Page Titles. please!

I have recently uploaded our website using Dreamweaver and am
a fairly new convert to this program having changed over from
'Frontpage'. My problem is that the title of the page is not
showing in the browser. All that is showing is 'Untitled Document'.
I have followed all of the instructions in relation to
adding/changing the page title to the letter but have not been able
to correct it. Please help.

It appears that you only have a single frameset file on that
site. That
being the case, you are done.

Help with creating Titles, please ..

Hello!
I'm creating a "How-To" type training DVD video project.
It will be comprised of numerous short (~10 minute)
subject segments.
At the end of each segment, I'd like to include a "title"
that summarizes the content of that segment.
I'd like the title to initially say:
"SUMMARY"
Then, another item will appear such as:
"SUMMARY"
"1.) Always do this"
Then, another item will appear such as:
"SUMMARY"
"1.) Always do this"
"2.) Don't forget to .."
And so on.
I'll do a voice-over while the titles are changing.
(I don't want the titles to scroll or roll.)
The first problem I have is trying to replicate
the initial title, and progressively add text to the title
without disturbing the position of the initial text so
that it doesn't "jump around" through transitions.
Is there a preferred way to do this in Premiere?
Or, should I be using Photoshop or some other external
program to be creating these type of titles, importing them
and cross fading them in Premiere?
Thanks!
--Tom Nickel

Tom,
One way to handle this would be to create multiple Titles for your initial, "Summary," and position the type where you want it. Each "bullet point" would then be a separate Title, on a separate Video Track. You can either animate these, or keyframe in/out the bullet points below. When placed on the lower (of the Title Video Tracks), Track, you will need to "stretch" the Duration of your "Summary" title to cover all of the time, that you want it to appear. Then add the bullet-point Titles of however long you want them to appear on the Video Tracks above it. Their Duration will probably be different with, say the first being longer, the next being a bit shorter and the final one shorter still.
Other than animating (remember you can only animate one line, so for multiple line bullet-point Titles, you'll need a separate one for each line), I'd think that keyframing either a Blur Effect, or Opacity to fade in/out these other Titles would be a good choice. You could also add a Dip-to-Black at each end of each one to "fade" them in/out.
Good luck,
Hunt

Help with Rendering/Finalizing Project Please?

Hi,
I am so new to this entire Adobe and video making that I've spent the last few hours pulling hair literally. I am hoping that some of you experts can take some time to give this novice some much needed guidance. Okay, I'm begging!
I recorded a wedding on a XHA1 MiniDV camera in 1080p 24fps. Captured the clips to PP CS4 which in turn makes them MPEG, I believe. Included in my project are addition clips imported from a Canon HF S21 also in 1080p 24fps and a Rebel T2i in ?? format. Didn't use too many clips from the rebel.
Anyhow, my project settings in PP are:
Video - Display format = Frames
Audio - Display format = Audio Samples
Capture Format = HDV
All Scratch disks are saved on to my desktop with 284 GB
Here is a picture of the sequence settings:
Again, sorry for the ignorance and stupiditiy. I am wondering what would help.
I am trying to burn it all with chapter markers and additional features to a DVD.
- What would be the BEST settings for exporting to Encore?
- Should I separate each section into a different sequence - would that help? For example, the pre-ceremony to one sequence. The ceremony to another. The reception to another. Or should I make new projects for each?
- How can I make my computer faster? Is it the memory, ram, etc? What should I do?
Right now, it has failed over and over in rendering in After Effects. It stops encoding when I export to AME. It says 158 hours for rendering in PP.
HELP!
I am using an iMac and here are computer specs (again, I am not even sure what to post to help you all help me):
Model Name: iMac
Model Identifier: iMac11,3
Processor Name: Intel Core i7
Processor Speed: 2.93 GHz
Number Of Processors: 1
Total Number Of Cores: 4
L2 Cache (per core): 256 KB
L3 Cache: 8 MB
Memory: 8 GB
Processor Interconnect Speed: 4.8 GT/s
Boot ROM Version: IM112.0057.B00
SMC Version (system): 1.59f2
Here is a pic of what I'm working on. I know the pic-in-pic feature probably doesn't help with rendering time either but 158 hours is killing me. In fact, when I go to sleep, I wake up to an error message where PP has closed.

leevang,
Your computer looks great. I wouldn't be too worried about the time PP shows for encoding etc.
I have found that right when I first start to encode a project, 73 hours or 12 hours is normal. Rendering is not necessary for encoding. However when I look back later, the time has dropped greatly.
Down to 2 or 3 hours. that's when I follow Jeff B.'s suggestions when I do a 2X scan.......

Help with access control please

So I'm trying to set up my brother's PSP to the wirless network through MAC address timed access. What I want to do is make it so that he can only access it through certain times in the day. I'm having troubles with actually getting it to work. Everytime I set it up, the PSP only show's up as a DHCP client and not a Wireless client. I tried the option panel with the add wireless clients through the first try access. Could I get some help with this issue please? Thanks!

Just to calm your fears... There is no conspiracy. If someone had an answer or a suggestion they would post it.

Help with Validation Problem Please

I don't understand this validation and don't know how to fix it. I have checked my other websites and they seem fine. I don't think I have done anything different The link for the website ishttp://www.greenpatchwebsites.com/pow/index.html
and the validator is http://validator.w3.org/check?uri=www.greenpatchwebsites.com%2Fpow%2Findex.html&charset=%2 8detect+automatically%29&doctype=Inline&group=0
Please can you help.
Thank you very much in advance.

Thanks for that. I have tried it on a new page: http://www.greenpatchwebsites.com/pow/newtest.html and here is the validator :
http://validator.w3.org/check?uri=www.greenpatchwebsites.com%2Fpow%2Fnewtest.html&charset= %28detect+automatically%29&doctype=Inline&group=0&No200=1- unfortunately loads of errors
I also tried the recommended template:
Use the following markup as a template to create a new XHTML 1.0 document using a proper DOCTYPE. See the list below if you wish to use another document type.
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<!DOCTYPE html PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD XHTML 1.0 Strict//EN"
        "http://www.w3.org/TR/xhtml1/DTD/xhtml1-strict.dtd">

     <meta http-equiv="Content-Style-Type" content="text/css" />
</head>
<body>
     <p>… Your HTML content here …</p>

</html>
but was getting errors with that. As you can tell, I need serious help with this. Which doc type should I be using
and why doesn't Dreamweaver just do it for you when you select one?
Thanks very much again in advance.

Help with photo albums Please

Hi, i really need some help with my pictures, I've only got a very basic understanding of how my phone works and have somehow put a load of albums on my phone when i plugged it into the computer-I want to delete some of them off the phone but cannot work out how to do it, when i plug my phone in i can find the photo tab but cannot actually see the pictures and can't see any delete button!!! Please can someone help me, basic explanations would be gratefully recieved xxxx

The photo sync is one way: computer to phone. To remove photos, synced to your phone, remove the check marks next to the albums/folders under the photos tab in itunes & hit the apply/sync button. They will be removed from your phone. You cannot delete photos that were synced to your phone, directly on your phone. The easiest way to manage photos synced to your phone is to create albums or folders on your computer. Move whatever photos you want on your phone into these albums/folders & then select them under the photos tab in itunes to sync to your phone. You can then remove or add photos to these various albums/folders on your computer & the itunes sync process will update your phone every time you sync.

Help with Keynote AppleScript, please

Hi,
I would like to make a Keynote 3 slideshow from a few pictures (Keynote has nicer transitions than iPhoto). I saw that there is an AppleScript command that should do that:
make image slides v : Make a series of slides from a list of image paths. Returns a list of paths from which new slides could not be made.
make image slides reference : the object for the command
paths Unicode text
[master master slide]
[set titles boolean]
Can someone show me how I would actually do that? E.g. with my pictures at /Users/andi/Pictures/ ?
That would be very nice! Thanks!

Ah, thanks a lot! Your remark about cropping got me on the right idea.
So now I have found a solution with Automator. Please be tolerant with the exact titles of the Actions as I write this on a german system and try to translate:
1. Keynote Actions > New Keynote Presentation (with e.g. Theme "Black", Size 1024 x 768 pixels)
2. iPhoto Actions > Ask for Photos (Note: You have to select some Photos and not just an Album)
3. Finder Actions > Copy Finder Objects (e.g. to "Pictures")
And now here comes the tricky part: I used the Photoshop CS2 Actions that can be found here: http://www.completedigitalphotography.com/index.php?p=389 to scale the images to 1024 x 768.
4. Photoshop CS2 Actions > Fit Image (Width: 1024, Height 768, DON'T check the box named "Save and close")
5. Photoshop CS2 Actions > Save as JPEG (Use the settings you like as long as you check the boxes "Close after saving" and "Pass saved files instead of originals")
6. Keynote Actions > Create Slide with Picture (Don't check "Set Titles")
That's all. Save it as a Programm or whatever you like. It asks you for Photos, corrects width and height to fit into the Keynote slide and puts everything in Keynote. You just have to select all the slides in Keynote and apply one of the gorgeous new transitions (like Reflections, my favourite!) to it and you're done.
Please correct me if a translation wasn't correct (and I bet some were).

I need help with rendering a video.

PC specs: http://gyazo.com/8c5f268350b92762adc1f4229797eba5
Adobe After Effects info: Updated about an hour ago.
Video File info: http://gyazo.com/90a0b66c4dfa99d9d396eb561ac79a49 and http://gyazo.com/74ef689f606792b8a855e6e7d3c45396
Problem: I can't render the effects I added. The render time is over 300 hours.
Details: I got AE yesturday and I imported in a video that I already edited and rendered with Sony Vegas 12. I imported it into AE to add some 3D tracked text for the intro. I added all the text in and I'm ready to render. First try rendering I just get the same exact video I imported, no effects, no text, nothing different. The first render took about 19 minutes. Now the second time I tried changing the format that it would render to. I changed it to h.624 and got told it would take 434 hours to render, I waited about 5 minutes and that time never dropped. I stopped the render, looked online and was told restarting my computer might help. I restarted and tried to render this time in Quicktime, I got about 345 hours this time. Also I was only using 11% of 11.9gb of RAM according to AE.
The video does not have that many effects in it at all. It is simply 3D text tracked to an object for about 7 seconds. I also just need the intro to render so I can put it back together in Vegas 12. Everytime it does render I end up with the same exact video with no effects.
This is what I'm seeing right now: http://gyazo.com/f5fcc73636171c8213451288a507c2ae 14 hours to render a 10 second clip with only some 3D text. about 300 frames.

Thanks for posting the screenshots. It really helps with assessing your problem.
You say "just some 3D text" but I presume this is extruded 3D text using the Ray Traced render option in After Effects.
Unfortunately, your AMD display card does not allow GPU acceleration of After Effects Ray Traced rendering, with the result that you will see ridiculous render times like those you are seeing. The AE Ray Traced render engine is extremely slow without exactly the right display card - see the System Requirements here.
If you are using AE CC you may wish to explore the Cinema 4D integration with AE.
Otherwise, you can fake 3D extrusion by manually building a stack of identical layers in a precomp, or using a script that does the stacking for you.
You can also try third party 3D plugins like Zaxwerks 3D Invigorator, or Video Copilot Element 3D.

Help with button code please?

I am a novice and have just completed my first animated movie. I need help with action script.
The movie is currently looped and I have created and invisible button the size of the frame with the intention that a user can click on the movie image to stop it and on second click continue the movie from where it stopped.
I have used the AS event handler method to stop the movie. I have tested it and it works. But I cannot figure suitable code to restart the movie.
Two questions;
1. am I going about the task the right way? (should I use two buttons, one stop, one start)?
2. if my approach is feasible, can anyone give me the correct AS to re-start the movie and put me out of my misery please?

you can use the following after changing "yourbutton" and "yourmovieclip" to use suitable instance names:
yourbutton.onRelease=function(){
if(!this.toggle){
yourmovieclip.stop();
} else {
yourmovieclip.play();
this.toggle=!this.toggle;

Help with Required fields-PLEASE

I have been attempting to get help with a required field and one of the forum helpers said he got it to work for me but I cannot and I have not been able to get any more responses from him to help me further.
I am attempting to have a radio box when the YES is selected to require another field to be completed. The script I was provided with is:
getField("Location").required = (getField("Group1").value == "Yes");
Location being the field that I require to be filled in if Group 1 is Yes. The previous forum helper indicated that I had to have this script in both fields in Group 1 and when I do that, nothing different happens.
What am I doing wrong?
Please, I need to fix this right away and I will be using this java script on many other forms that I have so I need to get this done soon.
Thank you in advance.

Wht you want can get somewhat complicated. One way to prevent subsequent fields from being used is to set them to read-only and/or hidden. You could then use the Validate event of the text field to validate the entry and enable the subsequent fields if it is filled-in adequately. In general, you should also reset the fields whenever you hide them, so they don't contain potentially invalid data from previously being filled-in. So you could initially have the fields set to be hidden, and only unhide them if No is selected, or if Yes is selected and the required text field is filled-in.
I realize this may not be as helpful as you had hoped for, but I can't suggest specific code without knowing more about the form.

Help with a routine please

Hi experts!
I have a requirement and I need help with an abap routine.
I'm uploading a table from de ECC where each record contains one key figure per fiscal period (wlt01, wlt02,...wlt16). I need to have in a dso a unique key figure (called zwlt for instance) and the 0fiscper infoobject filled with the corresponding period, that is, for each record of the table, I need 16 records in the DSO with zwlt = wltXX and the fiscper = fiscyear&0&XX.
Any help please?
Thanks in advance.

there are multiple ways to handle this.
one way is to use APD to unpivot the data.
or else you can use the following sample code to derive what you want...this code might just hint at the way to proceed.

Concatenate 'wlt' l_count into l_name.
ASSIGN COMPONENT l_name OF STRUCTURE <fs_type> TO <result> .

Help with UILabel subclass please

Hello all... I have a UILabel subclass I call CustomLabel. Ive been googling and reading the apple docs this entire week to figure this out. The few examples Ive seen, I dont think Im doing it right.
Im trying to create a subclass to use throughout my project. Every label will have these properties so I figured why not subclass. So through a lot of trial and error I ended up with this...
CustomLabel.h
#import <UIKit/UIKit.h>
@interface CustomLabel : UILabel {
@property (nonatomic) CGSize shadowOffset;
@property (nonatomic) UITextAlignment *textAlignment;
@property (nonatomic, retain) UIColor *shadowColor;
@property (nonatomic, retain) UIColor *textColor;
@property (nonatomic, retain) UIColor *backgroundColor;
@property (nonatomic, retain) UIFont *font;
@end
CustomLabel.m
#import "CustomLabel.h"
#import "Constants.h"
@implementation CustomLabel
@synthesize textColor;
@synthesize backgroundColor;
@synthesize font;
@synthesize shadowColor;
@synthesize shadowOffset;
- (id)initWithFrame:(CGRect)frame {
if ((self = [super initWithFrame:frame])) {
self.textColor = [UIColor whiteColor];
self.backgroundColor = [UIColor clearColor];
self.font = SMALL_CHALKDUSTER;
self.shadowColor = [UIColor colorWithRed:0.0f green:0.0f blue:0.0f alpha:0.35f];
self.shadowOffset = CGSizeMake (0, 2);
self.textAlignment = UITextAlignmentCenter;
return self;
- (void)dealloc {
[super dealloc];
@end
I then allocate a label like so...
ViewController.h
CustomLabel *myLabel;
@property (nonatomic, retain) CustomLabel *myLabel;
ViewController.m
myLabel = [[CustomLabel alloc] init];
myLabel.text = @"Blah blah blah";
I feel like Im way off on this... I must be since it isnt setting any of the properties Im trying to use in the subclass.
I found an older post on the forums here for setting the textAlignment but for some reason I couldnt apply the same logic to mine.
So can anyone help me with this subclass please and thank you?

xnav... thanks a ton for pointing me to this link. Its got me closer to my end goal than I was before. Right now I have...
CustomLabel.h
#import <UIKit/UIKit.h>
@interface CustomLabel : UILabel {
@end
CustomLabel.m
#import "CustomLabel.h"
#import "Constants.h"
@implementation CustomLabel
- (void) drawRect:(CGRect)rect {
CGContextRef ctx = UIGraphicsGetCurrentContext();
UIColor *lineColor = [UIColor whiteColor];
UIColor *shColor = [UIColor colorWithRed:0.0f green:0.0f blue:0.0f alpha:0.35f];
//UIColor *bkgColor = [UIColor clearColor];
CGContextSetFillColorWithColor(ctx, lineColor.CGColor);
CGContextSetShadowWithColor(ctx, CGSizeMake(0, 2), self.font.pointSize / 2.0, shColor.CGColor);
//CGRect drawRect = CGRectMake(rect.origin.x, rect.origin.y,rect.size.width, rect.size.height);
//CGContextSetAlpha(ctx, 0) ;
//CGContextFillRect(ctx, drawRect);
//CGContextSetStrokeColorWithColor(ctx, [[UIColor clearColor] CGColor]);
//CGContextSetFillColorWithColor(ctx, [[UIColor clearColor] CGColor]);
CGContextSetBlendMode(ctx, kCGBlendModeClear);
//CGContextAddEllipseInRect(ctx,CGRectMake(size.width-(size.width/2)-(size.width/10), (size.width/10), (size.width/2), (size.height/2)));
//CGContextClosePath(ctx);
//CGContextDrawPath(ctx, kCGPathFillStroke);
//CGContextSetTextDrawingMode(ctx, kCGTextFillStroke);
//self.backgroundColor = [UIColor clearColor];
//[self setBackgroundColor:[UIColor clearColor]];
[self.text drawInRect:self.bounds withFont:TINY_CHALKDUSTER lineBreakMode:self.lineBreakMode alignment:UITextAlignmentCenter];
- (void)dealloc {
[super dealloc];
@end
As you can see I have a couple of things commented out. LOL I still cant figure out how to make the background color clear. I also dont know if I need the dealloc in this subclass. But the other properties seem to be working like the font and line color.
Thanks again for the link and getting me in the right direction xnav. If you can lend any more assistance on how to get that darn background color clear I would appreciate it!

Help with Wireless thingy Please!!!

Hi, could someone please help with this? I am quite computer literate except when it comes to anything wireless or networking as it is something I've never used, so heres the problem - I bought ATV, and put a wireless card in the computer - do i need a seperate router to create a network? ATV searches for a network, and finds one, but I am not sure its mine!! ATV not coming up in itunes. Ive tried everything, but its just not happening. If I need a router, fine I'll get one, but if not could I have some instructions please?!!!! Like what on earth do I put in if adding network to atv manually? How do I know what my network name is? Tried with firewalls disabled, and added ports 3689 and 5353 to exceptions. Bearing in mind I need translations for things like DHCP etc! Its a Belkin Wireless G+ Network Card, compatible with ATV. Please help as this is the only thing standing between me and music heaven!!thankyou!

On a mac you could create an ad hoc network with a mac with wi-fi card only and internet sharing enabled, I've not done it and I don't know whether one has the choice to name the network or whether it will be identified as the mac's network name. I guess you will need advice from a PC guy as to whether this can be done on a PC, but my guess is that it can.
