Aliasing of Static Images

I filmed a presentation where most of the content was slides scanned from old books and catalogs. To improve viewability I took the presenter's powerpoints, wrote them to .pdf and then individually scaled them in Photoshop. I then went into to each slide and saved the individual images as separate images (he had them all in .jpeg so I am stuck with that). It didn't look bad inside premiere but once I export it to an .mp4 the old images with lots of lines tend to crawl and its quite distracting. You did a little test video on the first slide:
https://vimeo.com/63505591
Anyone know the best way to stop this before I jump into editing. I don't have access to the original documents--just the scans that were embedded in the slides. Also since there are 80 slides I am hoping the suggestion won't be something like "rescale all 80+ slides."
Thanks for any suggestions.

I was poking around a little and I discovered something that seems to work.
Right click on the clip and select Field Options
Select Flicker Removal
I didn't try either of the interlace options but a colleague suggested that the problem was related to the two different fields and that fiddling with the interlacing might help. Not sure what flicker removal does but the flicker is gone and most of the detail still seems to be there.

Displaying Static Image of a page in an application

Hi All,
Ultimately I'd like to design an app which displays a PDF, however I only really need a static image of the page... no toolbars, etc...
I've successfully written the app with the Adobe Reader ActiveX component, but there are a few things left to desire.
1. I can use setShowToolbar and setShowToolbar to disable them and get a fairly static view of the PDF (+/- the annoying tab bar on the left), however when it first renders the object, I see both the scroll bars and toolbars, then it flashes and removes the toolbar, then flashes again and removes the scrollbars. It doesn't seem to matter in what order I call loadFile, setShowToolbar, setShowToolbar... or the delay afterwards in which I wait to show the object. Any way to get rid of this?
2. I've tried toying with the IViewObject::Draw method with no luck what so ever. I've tried numerous ways in my WM_PAINT message of my window to call this method in hopes of a static rendering to appear. The method returns S_OK, but I get nadda. I've followed examples of using the IWebBrowser object in this way to get a static web page, other than the fact that I call loadFile in the IAxAcroShim object first to give it something to show... This is my first app using an ActiveX component, so any help here would be appreciated.
3. I noticed a lot of posts on how to remove the tab (nav) bar that appears on the right, and most peeps say "not possible". I tried the approach of finding the window by looking for "AVTabStripView", and just hiding it, and resizing the window with the doc in it to fill in the gap... works ok... The doc window being "AVPageView".

Well, the ActiveX control is exactly what I want... to view a PDF in my app just the way it is. I was only trying to produce a static view to get rid of the annoying flashes that happen when the toolbar and scrollbars are disabled. I don't care that the user can re-enable them, or do what they want, I'm only showing it initially with the toolbar off since the window is small and I want to maximize the document in the window for the users benefit. So, perhaps "static" wasn't the best word for it.
The purpose of the app is simply to display Adobe Reader as a child window inside of a full-screen app so that the user doesn't need to alt-tab continuously to compare data. The parent app runs in full-screen, with no "windowed" mode available. I'm using ActiveX instead of the app directly so that the PDF can the displayed in a portion of the screen that makes sense. And all the PDFs being displayed are single page... i.e. displaying a manual for a game, from within the game, but the window itself is decorated to go with the game...

Problem printing static images vs camera tool snapshots

Hi.
This question might be a matter of formatting instead of a developer question but since it is related to some VBA code I am using I thought it would be appropriate to post here. If it isn't, can someone let me know which forum would be more appropriate?
Here's the situation. I have a workbook that has many tables on separate worksheets. Then I have couple "summary" type of worksheets which contain camera tool snapshots of tables from different worksheets for easier viewing/printing.
Because of the heavy lag in recalculation time created by using camera tool snapshots, I have turned the snapshots into static images by removing the source range from their formula. Instead, after making whatever changes I need in the data, I use a
VBA macro to loop through each snapshot and briefly restore the source range formula so that it updates to reflect the latest table changes then clear the source range formula again, returning the snapshot to a static image. This seems to work fine when
I view the worksheets and makes the recalculation of the tables much faster when changing the data.
However, I have encountered a new problem. If I print the summary worksheets with the static images, each table is printed as smaller than when they are snapshots. In other words, when the source range formula is set to the appropriate range
and I print the sheet, everything looks fine. When I clear the source range formula and print the sheet, each table is now horizontally smaller and some information in the last column is being cut off. The images/snapshots have their size set to
100% of the original and I have tried keeping "Relative to the original" checked and unchecked with no difference. Does anyone know why this is happening?

It may not be the images. It may be the print options are set to auto scale the worksheet. Try manually printing a one test page and try different print scale options. Use Print Preview which will allow you to scale page sizes.
Often issues like this occur when you are trying to print more than one page at a time. The scale on one page may be different from a second page. Sometimes adding page breaks (horizontal and vertical) helps solves these issues.

.gif Images saved as static images, not animated

Using the most recent version of Firefox mobile on Android 4.1.2 on a Samsung Galaxy S3. I can download animated .gif images via Firefox to my phone and the saved file will display as a static image. If I download an animated .gif image with the proprietary browser the saved image will display as an animated image.
Thanks in advance,
Evan

Thanks for bringing to the notice, I'm filing a bug regarding this.

Adobe Flash Media Live Encoder and static image or recorded video?

Is it possible to put a static image or a recorded video (instead of a live video feed) into Flash Media Live Encoder to air while broadcasting a live radio show online?

FMLE will work with all devices which have direct show based drivers and give data in raw format. Here is a list of devices which have been tested and certified with FMLE - http://www.adobe.com/support/documentation/en/flashmediaencoder/FMLE_DeviceMatrix3.0.pdf

Flash animation appearing as static image

I created a banner ad in Flash 8 and we have loaded it on our
site. Some people can see it and it works great, others only see
the first frame (it looks like a static image).
How can I fix this?

Post url.
You may have the movie jumping to a location before it exists
(not loaded yet). Try preloading everything first, or like I said
post the url so we can check it out.

Report deployed to new server does not display static image

Hi,
We have several web sites on a server running Windows Server 2008 R2 Standard, SP1, 64-bit. It has installed .NET Framework 4 Client Profile and Extended, ver. 4.0.30319 (according to Control Panel->Programs, as well as c:\Windows\Microsoft.NET\Framework). Two of the sites use many Crystal Reports, most of which include a static image as a logo. This image is embedded in each report; there is no stand-alone image file that gets deployed.
Recently, we migrated to a new server, running the same version of Windows & .NET Framework. As near as we can tell, the 2 servers are nearly identical, as far as configuration and permissions, etc. One notable exception is the DefaultAppPool, which is Classic on the original server and Integrated on the new. (When I changed the new server to Classic, the apps failed to run properly.) The other exception is the old server is on a stand-alone box, while the new server is a virtual machine.
For one of the apps on the new server, the embedded logo images are not displaying on the page. Instead, there is a little red X with the word "Image". For the other app on the new server, the reports display fine. Furthermore, if I copy one of the "broken" rpt files from the "broken" app to the "good" app, the report displays correctly! And of course, the same file displays correctly in all circumstances on the old server.
This suggests to me that there is not a problem with the report file, per se', but rather with the environment to which it is deployed. Permissions? If so, where?
Any suggestions would be much appreciated.
Thanks.

The search string 'crystal red x net' (search box in top right corner) should return a number of KBAs, docs, blogs, etc. See if any of those help.

Show static image then play 2 .flv

I want to have a player that shows a static image to begin with and then plays 2 short .flv files, one after the other and then reverts to the static image.
I've found this, which works beautifully for the static image and one movie clip but I don't know how to add the second movie clip.
startBtn.onRelease = function() {
// make sure your video has an instance name of vid
// and it is NOT set to auto play.
vid.play();
this._alpha = 0;
var listenerObject:Object = new Object();
listenerObject.stopped = function(eventObject) {
startBtn._alpha = 100;
vid.addEventListener("stopped",listenerObject);
listenerObject.playing = function(eventObject){
startBtn._alpha = 0;
//Or you can use startBtn._visible = false
vid.addEventListener("playing",listenerObject);
Any help would be very welcome!
Jeni

thankyou again.
that certainly sends the player back to the first movie but it stops after the first movie and doesn't play the second one again. Hitting the play button again, after that, just repeats the first movie. Any idea how I fix that?
This is what I've got now:
startBtn.onRelease = function() {
// make sure your video has an instance name of vid
// and it is NOT set to auto play.
vid.play();
this._alpha = 0;
var listenerObject:Object = new Object();
listenerObject.stopped = function(eventObject) {
startBtn._alpha = 100;
vid.addEventListener("stopped",listenerObject);
listenerObject.playing = function(eventObject){
startBtn._alpha = 0;
//Or you can use startBtn._visible = false
vid.addEventListener("playing",listenerObject);
vid.addEventListener("complete",listenerObject);
listenerObject.complete = function(eo:Object){
if(!numCompleted){
numCompleted=1;
vid.contentPath="v4.flv"; vid.play();
} else {
vid.contentPath="v2.flv";

Adding static images to map at specific points in time

Hello,
I am trying to create a power map animation and I am having difficulties figuring out how to go beyond simply animating the data over time. let's say I want to add a little image of the space needle in Seattle when the animation gets to the point in
time when it was built. Obviously, I will be in the process of animating my normal data when this image gets added. Also, if you know of any tutorials that might be relevant please mention them.
Thanks,
Bob

You can add static images at a point in time and these are done by adding an annotation to a specific point that is plotted on your map. Once you pause the tour at a specific time you might want to add a scene to the tour and then add your annotation.
In order to add an annotation you will need to select the point and then right-click and select 'Add Annotation'. You will then be able to add a title along with either text, a field from data set, or an image. At this point you can continue
to plat the tour and/or add another scene and continue to build out your tour.
Check out this article on inserting annotations to Power Maps for additional information

Compressing (mpeg4?) a movie with static images and fades. Best settings?

Hey there,
I'm using compressor with Final Cut HD and a Powermacg5.
I have a movie made mostly of static images (experimental piece with landscapes) and fades between them.
Firstly, does anyone have any great tips for compressing a quicktime movie for the web (so probably mpeg 4) that works well with images that are mostly still? The mpeg4 setting with h264 are okay (ntsc image size, 30fps), but every so often there's sudden blocky-ness when there is a little bit of motion in the frame. Any ideas?
Secondly, the images go really chunky when there is a slow dissolve between the images, any compression ideas there?
I'll be experimenting myself but I thought it best to ask you guys first ... any tips?
Thanks
Richard

Hi everyone
Is it possible to compress a movie ( 83 minutes long
) for a Single DVD without any pixellations ?
If so I need to know what is the best settings...
I keep compressing with a bit rate about 6 and my dvd
still looks bad (pixels on transitions and sometimes
pauses).
I don't know what I could have done wrong !!!
I don't want to use double layer and I can't split my
movie into 2 dvds.
Can someone walk me through this step by step ?
Many thanks
I think it should be, the setting I always use are:
Vide: 7.4Mbps, One pass, Motion Estimation: Best
Audio:Dolby 2.0 Datarate 256 kbps.
I have tried a lot of combos but this is the only settings I can get with no pixellations. I'm always happy with the result and its fast! You might need to knock back the data rate to make 83 mins fit.

Static image

quick question please,
I want to add my company logo to the application.
where in windows do I need to put the actual file (for development purpose)
and where in Unix does the file go (for production and hosting)
this is forms 6i
thanks!!

Hi,
In Forms 6i more easy method is available for static image. Go File > Import > image. Select the image you
want to import. You have done it now. The benefit of this is that you don't have to read the file from database and nor from thr operating system. This image will be a part of forms and will always be there unless and untill you manually delete it. Try it.

Capturing live stream to static image on server

As part of a kludge we're working on to get around showing inline video (from cams) on devices such as iPhone which isn't supported by flash, we're planning to use websockets to stream data instead. We've seen a few other similar services do something similar as a kludge. There is no audio but at least something is visible to the user on devices that don't support flash or where inline HLS is not available (iPhone!).
Capturing static data on the FMS seems like quite a common request (e.g. to make thumbnails or whatever) but is there code available to do this? I have looked but found nothing as of yet. As part of the solution, streams will need to be saved to static images e.g. every x seconds, on the FMS server.
Any help or pointers welcome
