Action Essentials 2

Why do the pre-keyed effects in the Action Essentials pack still have the black background when I drag them over clips in Final Cut X? I tried changing the mode to Add and Screen and all of the other modes, but none simply key out the background. Final Cut 7 used to do this automatically.

Tom is right, you'll need to use blend modes. Have a look at this:

You might also want to consider doing this in a compositing app like Motion or After Effects.

Apple TV 2 Stuck on Black Background + Apple Logo

My Apple TV 2 appears frozen when plugged in to the TV. When I restart (either through Remote or by unplugging the power cord) it seems it's going to start up, but it just gets stuck on a black background with a silver Apple logo.
I've tried plugging in the Apple TV to my computer using a micro-usb cable, but it doesn't show up on the iTunes list of devices.
Any recommendations on how I could restore the device? The nearest Apple store is a couple of miles away and I wont be able to do the trip for a few days.
Thanks.

My ATV2 is also locked up in the same way :-(
This all came about when I tried to run the latest update.
I've tried plugging in JUST the micro USB cable so it's supposed to show up in iTunes but still nothing.
Pressing the down arrow and Menu buttons on the remote (send ATV into DFU mode) hasn't worked either.
Really don't what to do now except take it back to the store.
Not happy.

Too small guide letters and black background on guide.

Thank you LakeTahoe, you will be added to my report
Rick. I do plan on doing my own research and looking up users on other threads about this topic.
Let me clarify my request: If you guys know anyone who has the same feelings towards font size on their X1 guide please let me know. I am working with an Accessibility Supervisor who wants to compile this report. No other research is required other than getting in touch with me.
Please keep in mind this issue might not be fixed by dinnertime, but we need to present a solid report to our engineers in order to foster change. I appreciate your patience.

That choice is up to the individual but I am a 37 year veteran of the AV field. I am a CEDIA trained and certified home theater system designer and project supervisor. I am highly respected in my field. I might just know a thing or two about this. Apparently everything works perfectly for him. Yes it does and I am quite happy about that. He's also appointed himself the keeper somebody's gotta do it... LOL of these forums and is quick to scold anyone who dares to offer a critique of the X1 platform if it has been previously posted. If I "scold" anyone it is because they complained before they researched the topic or actually took the time to learn the product. I am not fond of the "complain first, learn second" philosophy. 90% of the questions or concerns posted in this forum can be solved by a 30 second Google search. Be assured there are those of us who have real issues with the X1 platform, Nobody has offer more help in this forum then I have. The "numbers" speak for themselves. That being said, there are many other helpful people in this forum who I have the utmost respect for and they know who they are. who don't read every post and who actually believe the more an issue is reported, whether in a previous thread or a new one, some action may be taken by Comcast. Now that may be a naive view based on the number of issues that have not been fixed, addressed or at least acknowledged by Comcast, but we can hope that someone there is listening. Roughly two months ago, I exchanged emails with a Comcast employee who hinted people that NEEDED to pay attention to this forum might not be... I was a bit disappointed.
I stand everything I have said about guide font size and legibility. I think it is wonderful in it's current form. But I have always said I support the ability to adjust guide size which the original X1 guide offered (but very few people used). If Comcast restored the ability to adjust guide font size, I would be all for it. I would set it smaller on at least one of my TVs.

My ipod keeps on flashing the apple logo in a black background and i cant get it to turn on does it take a simple restore to fix this?

I need help my ipod touch 5g running ios 7.0.4 wont turn on all it has been doing is flashing the apple logo on a black background i cant stop this does anybody know what to do?

Try:
- iOS: Not responding or does not turn on
- Also try DFU mode after try recovery mode
How to put iPod touch / iPhone into DFU mode « Karthik's scribblings
- If not successful and you can't fully turn the iOS device fully off, let the battery fully drain. After charging for an least an hour try the above again.
- Try another cable
- Try on another computer
- If still not successful that usually indicates a hardware problem and an appointment at the Genius Bar of an Apple store is in order.

Running actions in the background

Hello All!
I'm a wedding photographer using CS5 on a Mac Pro. I run an action to re-size 800-1000 photos. After running the action I continue to work on other projects; i.e.; check e-mail, surf the net, lightroom, etc. Although the windows for these application fills my monitor, the photos in CS5 continue running in the foreground. It's impossible to do anything else because CS5 keeps popping up in front of any application I use. How do I run the actions in the background?
Thanks
Chris

That's interesting... I'm thinking it must be an OS thing, given Photoshop's implementation...
I say that, because just yesterday I was, on my Windows 7 workstation, running the Image Processor script to open a document, do an action, resize, and save - all this on a whole folder full of documents. Photoshop got to chunking away and I just made some other apps current and began work on eMail, web browsing, et. al.
Photoshop just stayed behind everything and worked away. I could see it working if my current window didn't cover everything, but at no time did it jump in front of what I was doing. I didn't use PhotoJunction, though - I have no idea what that is.
I'm not trying to start a PC vs. Mac thing here, but just pointing out that on the PC side multitasking while Photoshop's cranking doesn't seem to be as big a deal.

Mask motion tween with a black background

Hello Everyone,
I am new to Flash with only two simple animations to my name. I have searched the Adobe help documentation and the Forums for an answer to my question, but I have not found anything. The closest answer I found was in reference to CS3, but I wasn't sure if that was still applicable to CS5.
I am trying to setup a simple mask as a test. I want to have an oval shape as the mask moving around a black background revealing white underneath. At the end of its tween, it lands on a stick figure. (This is like the end of the James Bond opening sequence: the gun barrel fades away to leave a white circle amidst a black background. The white circle then moves to reveal part of the opening scene.) I have tried creating a black fill, on a separate layer, as a background, but that didn't work. (Putting the black layer above the mask just covered the whole mask tween; putting it below the mask just revealed the black as part of the mask. Obviously.)
Does anyone know how I can make the hidden part of the mask black instead of white? Is this even possible? I know it is annoying when beginners ask simple questions, but this is driving me crazy, and I'd like to find out how to do it because it does seem so simple. Can anyone help me stop being a noob?

create a black shape in your bottom-most layer. above that layer create a while shape that covers you black shape. above that layer create your oval and tween it. finally right click the oval containing layer and click mask. test.

Contacts screen changes to black background

What causes the contacts to switch to a black background with blue and white text. I actually prefer it to the default but have no idea what action causes it to change then change back. It seems completely random. No, its not the invert colors option under accesability, this chage only occurs to the contacts list, and I'm not sure its in response to any particular thing I'm doing.

Guess I should have mentioned its a 5s with OS 7.1 the most recent update

White Background or Black Background?

In the world of compression, which is easier to compress: a white background or a black background? Or is there a difference?

H.264. Action, for instance, is more "labor intensive" for the codec. I was just curious if a static white background with talking head is heavier lifting than a black background.

Getting rid of black background in iPhoto slideshow converted to .mov

Hi all!
I have a desperate friend who created about an hour long slide show in iPhoto using "Vintage Prints" theme --it has a black background with photos getting dropped in. There are four segments she wants me to edit together for the whole show for her daughter's graduation party. Is there any way to get rid of that black background and replace it with a solid color background or texture? I have tons of animated textures and backrounds but I can't figuere out how to bring them to the rescue since the .mov is already created...... I thought of keying but 'black' isn't the new chromakey blue or green...... thought of a garbage mask but the shapes of the photos and collages dropping in are not constant.... Ideas?
I didn't see a way in iPhoto to convert that black background to white or color either.... Did I miss something there?
Thanks all!

works like charme here:
.. ok, needs some tweaking: a luma-key is never working as good as a color-key ... but iPhoto delivers some very solid black, so FCPX' keyer creates an acceptable job (in my humble criteria).
ok, the fade-out-to-black in the ending of the slideshow theme makes a luma-key impossible!
keep in mind: the 'key' is more like a 'key-hole' (=as a non-native speaker, this is my mnomic ) - the color, alpha or black gets transparent and allows a look-thru to anything underneath ... that simple.

Black background and white text physically hurts & creates ghosting. Please add UI color toggle.

Hi,
The new white text on black design physically hurts my eyes and gives very bad ghosting (i.e. persistent image like those in optical illusions that make you stare at particular color combinations and then look away). I know I'm not the only one with this issue because I've researched it in the past. Without an option to switch back to the old design (White background/black text), I'll need to delete my Spotify account and find another service. Please add an option to switch between the two (because I know many prefer black backgrounds). Myself and a host of others, however, cannot use these color combinations. Please let me know if there is a work-around; it would be much appreciated. It's basically unusable to me in it's current state. :(

Absolutely agree with the original poster. I find white text on black background so very very difficult (I changed from using Tweetbot on iOS to Tweetlogix for this very reason) and it physically hurts my eyes to try to read it. I can just about manage with Spotify using white text on a black background on the large screen of my MacBook Pro - and I do mean "just" - but for the smaller screen of my iPhone 5 it is just impossible. Even with a retina screen such as that on the iPhone 5S there is a strange ghosting effect and it gives me a headache to look at it for too long.
This may be something to do with age! I suspect most app developers are youngsters with almost perfect eyesight, but for those of us whose eyesight is less than perfect, this white text on black background really is so very difficult.
I know there is a workaround in setting the iPhone to invert ALL colours (under Accessibility in Settings) but it's a real pain to have to keep altering this setting every time I want to open or close Spotify, and it doesn't look right anyway. iOS7 is supposed to be a light, bright, easy to read OS - sadly this new Spotify app is the opposite of that.
Please would Spotify consider adding a simple light or dark theme option, so that those of us who want it can have our much easier to read light background back again, with grey or black text? It would be a great help to those of us who have eyesight problems.
If not, I may have to cancel my Spotify Premium account and move to Deezer instead, as I mainly use Spotify when out and about in the car, so am using the iOS app a lot.
Thank you for considering this plea!

I cannot delete a certain history item no matter how many times I hit "delete history". It wont go away. also, my safari browser is now in Chinese. I beleive I got hacked, because this item contains content that no one should want to see.

I have an item that appeared in my history, along with my language being changed to chinese. how can I undo this? can I reset safari? This item wont go away no matter how much I hit delete history.

The "Favorites" icons that appear when you open a new tab are just a special folder in your Bookmarks. To add items to the page, add a bookmark (by tapping the "Bookmark" item in the "Action" popover) and specify the Favorites folder as the destination.
To remove items from the "Favorites" view, tap the Bookmarks icon, then tap "Edit" to remove bookmarks from the Favorites folder.
You may also press-and-hold an item in the Favorites view to re-order it (rather than using the Bookmarks view to reorder them).

My lock screen just shows a black background and a User Name/Password dialog after opening the screen from sleep. How do I get it back to where it blurs my desktop image with the dialog and my account image displayed?

I'm not sure when it began, but now my Macbook Air only shows a black background and a User Name and Password dialog box when I wake it from sleep. It used to show my desktop background blurred with my user name and icon displayed with only a text field for entering my password. I'm currently using Yosemite (OS X 10.10.1) and all updates have been done. Any help or suggestions would be greatly appreciated as I know this isn't a real problem, just an annoyance since I couldn't find how to change it back in the System Preferences.

I just have to point out that after looking at a related post (https://discussions.apple.com/message/22661092#22661092), it brought to memory that my issue most certainly began happening after I added some DoD certificates to the keychain. This obviously has something to do with it, but it still leaves me wondering what actually causes this to happen. :/

Print quality of grey text on rich black background

I've been working on various print materials that require me to use a lot of grey text at various shades set on a black background. My understanding is that this can easily look terrible due to the misregrestation of the four colors. Here's an example of the kind of text I'm working with:
This is how I have things set up right now:
Rich Black Swatch: C70 M50 Y30 K100
All text uses the same swatch at various tints in InDesign (15% tint for headlines, 25% tint for body text)
Body text size is 8 pt/10.8 pt, headlines are 14 pt
These are being printed on an offset press and the printer isn't local, so we don't get proofs. Is there are better way to set this up or is this the best I can hope for? Thanks for any help!

I wonder what type of paper are you planning on using for these pages? Your total ink amount is 250. What you should be concerned about is dot gain and ink spread. Oh, nice rich Black on screen isn't so nice on press for a number of reasons. Have you thought about using a Spot Black? Why use process if all you have is Black? Unless, ofcourse, you have other elements that use process colors. You have to know the press and the paper before you can make a judgement about the effectiveness of rich Black with screen tinted variants. You could bite the bullet and let the file fly. Or, you could use just Black with screen tint variants to lesson problems on press and with readibility. No proofs? No press check either?
