I have used still photos to make a Quick Time movie using FCE. The DVD made using i-DVD looks somewhat grainy and the motion isn’t smooth when played on my TV. Other DVD’s I have made play much better and I am wondering if the problem is my Quick Time movie settings. The Dimensions and size of the problem movie are 1920X1080 and 584 MB respectively, while the movies that play better have Dimensions of 853X480 and are about 1.3 GB in size. Is this the source of my problem and how do I change things for the better.

Are you exporting to QuickTime Movie, or to QuickTime Conversion? For iDVD, you need to export to QuickTime Movie. Exporting to QT Conversion will kill the quality if you are moving the video from FCE to iDVD.
The file size per se makes no difference.
What size (pixel dimensions) are the photos that you put into your 1920x1080 sequence? Also, exactly what are the sequence properties ... is it 1920x1080i60 ... or i50? In North America it should be i60.
853X480 is an odd frame size. Where are you seeing this number? It would appear to be DV-NTSC, which has a frame size of 720x480. Your 1920x1080 frame size would not be DV-NTSC, it would be Apple Intermediate Codec. DV and AIC will look different, for sure.
Also, your quality setting in iDVD can affect the final video. You may want to check that also (in iDVD Preferences > Projects). Set it to Professional Quality if at all possible.

i have 2 apple ids and one is from years ago when icloud wasnt a thought but now somehow it became my primary apple id and i cant photo stream with the apple id i use. Even if im signed into my old one the photo stream doesnt automatically go to my mac. Im not exactly technology savy but id love to figure this out.

I have also noticed the same "problem". I do not fully understand the impact of using the same ID on multiple computers and devices if I want to keep them all in sync.

Using still photos that stall in Adobe Premiere

When playing the video the photo stalls at one place. I've deleted that photo but it continues to stall/stop at that same (now different photo) place. The audio continues to play. How do I fix this?

thanks - I couldn't find a forum for Premiere

Can I create a movie trailer using still photos from iPhoto library

Hey,
I am wondering whether I can create a movie trailer (like Epic Drama for example) using still images / photos from my iphoto library instead of using movie clips.
I have found out how to import photos in a normal project but I cannot do the same for a movie trailer project.
THX
Dimitris

You can do this.
The trick is to convert your trailer to a project.
First, I would suggest going to the Project Library view and selecting your trailer. Then FILE/DUPLICATE and give the duplicate a name, like (Original Name - Backup).
Then, with the trailer selected in the Project Library, click FILE/CONVERT TO PROJECT.
Your trailer is now a project and you can add stills and use all the capabilities of iMovie.

ı have bought second hand ipad. 17 apps which were downloaded by previous user with his or her apple id are waiting to be updated. I need to update them but when I try, ı can't update them with my own apple id. Device ask me to update with the id and password of previous user. I tried I forgot but this didn't work. So how can ı have my device forget the previous ID and use my own to update exsisting apps.

Restore the device to factory settings with iTunes.
Then launch the App Store app on the iPad and sign in with your Apple iD and password:

Hello, I currently have a MacBook snow leapord and i'm trying to connect it with my Canon MP560 printer, i put in the CD and installed everything properly but now when i add a printer it says a Queue already exists, i click continue and nothing happens???

Hello,
I'm using a MacBook Snow Leapord and I'm trying to connect it with my Canon MP560 printer/scanner.
I installed the CD and followed along with the manual and did everything it asked, at the end it told me it was finished.
So then I went to go print something and an error had occured so i went to the file menu on Microsoft Word for
Mac and clicked Print/Add Printer and then i click on the Canon MP560 series-1 as it was the only one to click on.
When I did it stated that I already has a Queue for this printer and if I'd like to add a new one so I clicked continue and nothing
had happend. PLEASE HELP
sincerely,
Laura.

I would recommend to download the driver appropriate for your system from the Canon webiste or, after installing it, to run software update and it will detect it for you.
If you have the last driver appropriate for your system, you may wish to reset the printing system. To do this, go to Sys prefs/print and fax and, upon clicking minus button, also press Option/alt key. You will be asked to confirm, do it. Then, add the printer by pressing plus button, it should work now.
But, before doing this, download the last good driver, CDs usually contain outdated drivers.

HT4890 I have transferred 127 photo's set in chronological order from my PC to my iPad using Photo Stream but they appear all jumbled up. How do I prevent this happening?

How do I rearrange the photo's in an album on my iPad?

Photo stream is just a sync service and you have no control over the ordering of photos. But, what you should be doing is moving the photos out of photo stream into a different, permanent album where you can order as you wish. Remember, if you ever turn off photo stream for whatever reason, the photos in that special album will be deleted. When you later turn the service back on, you'll only get those photos still in the stream server, which are limited to a max of 1000 and no older then 30 days.

Using Still Photos in FCP

Hey everyone,
I'm working on a project in FCP, which is made up entirely of still images (jpgs) shot using my Canon 40D. I'm doing some panning and zooming (Ken Burns like), as well as some rapid stop motion animation sequences and compositing. I'm using a lot of photos!
I've been doing some tests and FCP is chugging hardcore, not to mention the brutal render times and everytime I move or copy something it has to prepare the display. I NEED to make this process run smoother!
I would like the final product to be HD and 16x9, but do you guys/gals think that I will need to go to SD because of the limitations of my computer (iMac intel core duo with 2gb of ram)?
In your opinion:
1. What sequence settings should I use to get the best FCP performance for this project? Would you recommend a particular editing time base?
2. Will resizing my photos make FCP work much quicker?
3. Are there any system settings in Final Cut that I should tinker with? Presently my Memory and Cache Settings are:
Memory Usage 100% 1818mb
Application 10% 167mb
Thumbnail Cache Disk 8192k
Ram 512k (<---should this be 2gb, now that I have 2gbs of Ram installed)
Thank you guys/gals so much! You rule! I love you.

David, your a genius!!! You posted your reply on my birthday, and I missed it until today!
Fotomagico is devastatingly easy to use and absolutely makes me want to cry at the amount of time I wasted creating photo slideshows in FCP!
I opened Fotomagico up and created a slideshow, one that I had already created in FCP and had take me FIVE HOURS to create... in TEN MINUTES!!!!!!!!! Aaaaaaaaah.
I couldn't believe it. I thought there had to be a catch or something. This was too easy the quality can't be there... but it was. It's amazing and I can't thank you enough for all the future hours you have saved for me.

Use flash photo to make colour adjustment for non daylight photo

Hi,
I have taken photos using existing interior room light of a scale model figure then also taken a photo with flash. I wish to tell photoshop to alter the existing light photo to match the colour balance of the flash shot by clicking on part of the flash picture which would give a good reference point (no flash highlight etc) and having that get used to auto adjust the non flash shot.
How is this done ?
Pics are in raw mode Canon 20D.
This for me would be better than trying to find a neutral part of the scene and saying this is neutral using the pipette neutral tool, as that sometimes doesnt quite give me the true scene.
I would then like that colour adjustment to be used/available to the other shots taken using that existing light.
I somehow store that adjustment and apply it to any other shots with the same exposure and existing light used.
How do I do that ?
Cheers

This is all one great learning experience, kevin.
Just jump into the cold water and soon you will be swimming.
First try to load any pictures at all, later deal with the
thumbnails, even later with greyed out and so on.

I want to use my photos in alphabet templates. Can I create or buy? I use CS2 for editing.

I wondered if it was possible to create alphabet letter templates with CS2 wherein I can use the template over my wildflower photos? If this isn't possible, is there any digital photo template software available for this?

If I remember correctly CS2 was capable of clipping masks. Take a look at the properties of your layers panel and see if clipping masks is listed. On windows holding down the alt key while the cursor is between two layer would change the icon and once clicked with the mouse, a clipping mask is created.
Another option is look at the text tool and see if mask tools are listed there as well. By using the mask for text instead of text you can fill it with any image you choose by using the paste into command.

How to have Web Gallery photos have a Watermark?

I created Web Galleries in Aperture 2.1. I have in the Presets for Web Exporting selected a PSD Watermark I made. But when viewing the photos on the Web Gallery, the photos do not have the Watermark.
I also changed the Presets for Image Export to include a Watermark and these export with the Watermark.
Is there a way to have the photos displayed on Web Galleries to include a Watermark for copyright?

How could they pass this over? I'm using Aperture 2.1.1 so they obviously haven't taken any of this to heart over the past few months. The web gallery feature is so simple and intuitive it's a bit of a slap in the face not being able to embed my watermark. It would only make sense given that they have made downloading your images so simple. If I want to give a client a link to download my pics they certainly need to have some form of copyright on them. Come on Aperture team! Make this stunning product just that much better and please add this feature!

Why are still photos blurry when I play movie?

I am making a video slideshow using Adobe Premiere Elements 9. Most of the video is made up still photos. When I playback the video the still photos are blurry. What should I do to prevent this? Thanks!

I read your article Bill, and that just seems like a massive amount of work for the average individual who wants to put together a movie. Is all of that really necessary?
With PS, or PSE, and Scaling Actions, one can do batch processing of entire folders of images in moments. That linked article gives setup tips for doing batch scaling very easily, and the Action, plus Automate to Batch, will work on entire folders. My workstation will automatically process ~ 500 4000x3000 pixel images to 720x480 in about 2 mins.
There are two benefits when Scaling stills in an image processing program, prior to Import into an NLE (Non Linear Editor) program:
The processing overhead is greatly reduced
The quality is greatly improved, as the Scaling algorithms in an image processing program, are much better *
If one wants to let the NLE program do the processing, and one has many large images (especially at still camera resolutions), then they WILL need a very powerful computer.
Good luck,
Hunt
* PrPro, as of CS5, has improved the quality of Scaling, but the overhead issue still exists.
