Problem inserting images over video

Hello,
I have a had a semester of using FCE4, but we did not learn much on inserting images. I can insert the image to show over the video/audio, but I cannot get the background to be black. It shows the photos on top of the video and the video shows as the background. Please help! I have searched the manual and our class textbook for answers, but cannot find any.

You can do it in the Viewer or Canvas.
Switch on Image+Wireframe in the Canvas.
Place the playhead on the still and select it in the Timeline.
You should see an X across the Canvas.
Drag any corner to fill the Canvas.
Set the Canvas to Fit to Window before starting.

Problem keying graphics over video when exported.

Hey
I'm new to FCE, but I work professionally in the television industry doing graphics/compositing/3d.
Outside of work, I mess around with my own movies and hardware.
I'm cutting together a piece shot with my Canon VIXIA HG20 camera. The footage/project is 720p.
My problem is that when I key a graphic over the video, it looks great while working in Final Cut, but when I export a full quality video, the graphics cause the entire screen to shift levels. The saturation drastically changes the instant the graphic begins to fade on. It doesn't shift gradually with the fade. This is only visible after export. The graphic is rendered. The image is a 32-bit Targa. The levels in the graphic are within the NTSC broadcast color range. I prepped it the same as I've done for years professionally.
I don't think this is a compression issue, because the change happens immediately, before the graphic is even barely visible.
I looked around, but couldn't find anyone with similar issues, but hopefully this has already been figured out by someone.
Any answers or suggestions are much appreciated.
Thanks
Colin

Thanks for your reply.
As far as I know, targas can only be RGB. I couldn't find a way in Photoshop to work in YCbCr. I have Photoshop CS, so its pretty old, but even on my work computer, which has CS3, I didn't see anything. Next week I'll be installing CS4, so there might be something in that.
I won't be able to test anything until late tonight, but I'll try several formats to see if they make a difference. I'm wondering if there might also be some kind of option in FCE to convert imported graphics to the correct color space.
When keying graphics over video in your projects, how do you save them(formate,color space, etc)? Ever see this issue?
Thanks for your help

Problem inserting images Dreamweaver CS3

Hi, I have Dreamweaver CS3 and Dreamweaver MX 2004 loaded on
the same machine, iMac G5. My OS is 10.4.10 Tiger and all updates
are current. No particular reason, just never got around to
uninstalling the latter. Here's the problem in CS3, but not MX
2004. I can't insert images into my HTML page by any of the
following methods: insert menu at the top of the screen, or click
and drag the file. Copy and pasting the code from another page
won't even work. The only way it works is by typing in the raw code
into code view. I get a strange warning when I try to copy and
paste: something like Java script error. I thoroughly checked my
mark-up and there's no a single speck of Java Script anywhere. I've
also get other strange warnings while trying to put in images:
floating bugs.html, margin bugs.html, and others (sorry this is not
verbatum, but you get the idea). I've tried shutting dowm the
computer and rebooting, but that didn't help either. When I
switching over to MX 2004, same files, I was able to insert images
in all of the various ways mentioned above. So I'm thinking, maybe
I should uninstall Dreamweaver CS3, and reinstall from disk. So, I
did the uninstall, and emptied my trash, but haven't reinstalled
yet. Thought that I should run this by the forum first. thanks for
any help. Yesterday I got multiple sudden unexpected "quits" while
using both versions, losing unsaved work. thanks for any
suggestions, Deborah North

Adding Ken Burns to Image over Video

I've created a project where during certain points during the video there are images over the video so you don't have to stare at the speaker forever. The audio still plays and you see the image, but I do not have the option to apply a ken burns to the image because it is inserted more as a title rather than a still image.
Does anyone know how I can apply a ken burns effect to images placed over video in the title track?

Yes, this can be done. It may be easiest if you start over.
First, drag the video clip with the speaker to your project by highlighting the clip with a "yellow rubber band" in the Event and dragging it to the project. Now, without changing the "Yellow Rubber Band", use Command-Shift-Drag to drag just the sound from the selected Event clip to the project. Drag it to the beginning of the original clip.
Now you have a sound track pinned to the original clip, and you can set the volume of the video clip to zero using the audio settings. The Green audio clip will still play.
Now you can select (for example) 4 second lengths of the video and right click (or command click) and select DELETE SELECTION. This will eliminate 4 seconds (for example) of the video. Replace it by dragging in a photo from the Photo Browser. Set the length of the photo to 4 seconds, and set the Ken Burns settings as you wish. You should now have a video with a ken burns style photo inserted playing over the original sound track.

Overlay a still image over video.

I am editing a lot of video and have a need to lay an image over the video, like down the left column or even across the bottom.
What I am doing is editing footage of a poker game we filmed and I want to be able to display the players' hole cards like they do on TV.
Does anyone have a solution for this? I've looked and looked with no success.
Thanks for any help you can offer.

In iMovie 08, when you overlay a photo over video, it takes the whole screen. iMovie 9, which comes out later this month, should have the ability to do what you are describing.
Also, if you have QuickTime Pro, you can do this as well. QuickTime Pro is not as intuitive as iMovie so get a good book to help. One such book available from frequent forum participant [QuickTime Kirk|http://homepage.mac.com/kkirkster/book/index.html]

My mac Mini has problem rendering images and video

THE PROBLEM:
My mac mini has problem rendering JPEG image. There are strips on the images. Other images such as GIF, PNG, TIFF, and BMP are displayed nicely.
The images shown in the links below illustrate the problem:
http://www.flickr.com/photos/terencewong/71481156/
http://www.flickr.com/photos/terencewong/73360989/
(Please note that this image is grabbed from my faulty Mac Mini and saved into TIFF. For uploading purpose, I converted it into JPEG on ANOTHER computer.)
For movies, AVI can be playback without problem. But when it is converted to MPEG, it looks like an untunned TV channel.
FIXES TRIED:
I did erase and install 3 to 4 times using both the install disc and my Tiger Family Pack. All ended up with strips on the JPEG images and the generated MPEG movies.
I've also tried to flash the firmware to 113-xxxxx-124 using ATI's october 2005 universal ROM update, however, the ROM Revision shown in System Profiler is still 113-xxxxx-116 no matter how many time I reboot the system.
INVESTIGATION:
Yesterday, I did some research and got to know that JPEG and MPEG are using DCT (Discrete Cosine Transform) for decompression. And the ATI Radeon 9200 chip provide such a transform on hardware basis, which free the CPU from doing something else. Feel free to point out my inaccuracy.
HARDWARE SPECIFICATION:
I bought the Mac Mini in the last Februray.
The system Boot ROM version is: 4.8.9f1
Display card is ATI Radeon 9200
Chipset Model: ATY,RV280
Revision ID: 0x0001
ROM Revision: 113-xxxxx-116
A POSSIBLE CONCLUSION:
I suspect that it is this part of the chip (the DCT) that is faulty.
Anyone know how to fix this problem?
Many thanks!

Assuming that your display is tightly connected, thus the problem is not caused by something as simple as that, the fact that a full erase and install has not removed the problem would, I think, point to this being a hardware issue, and given that everyone's mini (with the possible exception of some of the latest ones) has the same video chipset as yours, and do not suffer the problem that you appear to, it seems very likely that your mini has a fault which is in need of repair.
If you have an Apple Store nearby, I would take it there to have it checked out - at the very least they should be able to replicate your problem using an in-store display, and if not, thusly suggest it's something external to the mini and concerning your display or something very unusual in the immediate environment of the mini. If you don't have an Apple Store in reach, I'd take the system to an Apple authorized service provider since at the present time it is under warranty.

Inserting image in video clip

How do I maintain the original soundtrack of the video clip and insert a photo with transitions on either end of the insertion? I can achieve this procedure with success without the transitions but as soon as I try to add the transitions the audio of the original video clip goes out of synchronization? Is this possible?

Welcome to the discussions.
Most (but not all) transitions uses footage from both clips. For instance, a one second transition uses 1 second footage from clip A and overlaps with one second from clip B, making the movie one second shorter.
So it you make the still two seconds longer than the clip you remove, you can add two one-second transitions and wind up with the audio in sync.

How to place an image over video

Hey guys, want i want to do is still have the video playing but have an image there too, such as in the top right hand corner... I sthis possible?
If so please answer

Yes, it's very possible. One resized image (resized with the Transform tool) stacked above an other image. Typically the smaller image is a connected clip to the image on the primary storyline.

Inserting images over existing sound track

I am trying to insert a graphic over an existing VO. It is an interview, and I simply want to lay in a chart.

The easiest way to do this is to select those frames where you want to adjust the volume, so that they have the yellow border around them. Then click Edit/Split Clip (or right-click/Split Clip).
These frames are now a separate clip, and you can go into the Inspector Audio Tab and increase the volume using the Volume Slider.
It is easier to edit to the frame level if you first go into iMovie/Preferences and put a check next to "Display Time as HH:MM:SS:Frames".
Also, you can move the thumbnail slider at the bottom of the project pane. The default is a thumbnail every 5 seconds. If you slide this over to 1/2 second, it will be easier to select the precise frames that you need.

Problem Inserting Flash Video (flv) File into Site

Hi -
I'm having problems inserting a Flash Video (.flv) into my webpage. I'm using Dreamweaver 8.
I'm going to: Insert - Media - Flash Video, browsing to the .flv file that's in my local site folder, entering the settings.
In Dreamweaver, there's a big gray box w/ flv icon in the middle. But when I go to preview, the screen is empty, no video.
I'm creating the .flv file w/ Screen Mimic (a screen capture recording software). This could be a problem w/ the Screen Mimic file because I have no problem inserting other flv files supplied to me by others. This is the first video that I've made that I'm trying to insert.
If anyone has any suggestions, I would be most appreciative.
thanks!
Stacey Stanley

This could be a problem w/ the Screen Mimic file because I have no problem inserting other flv files supplied to me by others.
That would my guess too. Here are few other things to consider:
1) Does your FLV filename contain any spaces or special characters? If so, rename it without spaces as these can cause problems.
2) Output Screen Mimic project to a QuickTime MOV file. Then use Adobe Flash Encoder to convert the MOV to FLV.
3) When you tested your page, was it a live page on remote server? Did you upload the page and all supporting files to server (Scripts folder, SWF, FLV...)?

Buttons over video, subtitle stream displays on wrong story!

Here's a quick run down of my project:
the client has a video program which should play two different ways. the first button on my main menu should play the video program with no subtitle streams on. the second button on my main menu enables the same program to be played only now with subtitles stream 1 turned on. the subtitle stream is serving as buttons that appear over the video which jump to other submenus.
my problem is that the first button, no matter what i've tried, still displays the subtitles stream though i don't want it to. i have one track of the video with two stories, 1 for display without the subtitle track and the other to display with the subtitle track. the button for the 1st story is set with the "view" option unchecked for subtitle stream 1 while the second is set with the "view" box checked...yet it still displays both! i've checked my disc options and the subtitle track's "view" is unchecked...
i'm at a loss for what else to try. please help!

i'm encountering the exact same problem with buttons over video in dvd studio pro. despite of the fact that the simulation within dvd studio pro works flawlessly, after buidling the video_TS folder and opening it in the dvd-player application, you can't hide the subtitles anymore (you can set the subtitle-streams in the menu to whatever you like but the subtitles never disappear). the same problem exists if i burn or build and format a physical dvd.
help is really appreciated! thanks in advance for every hint!
