Any Help Available for Minimizing the Shimmer on Photos?

I've just finished a movie that's made up of photos imported from iphoto. I've burned a DVD and the still images look fantastic... but most of the photos with a Ken Burns move (even a short, gentle move)shimmer like crazy. It's especially bad if there's any kind of line pattern in the image (on buildings, etc). When there's water in the shot, I don't mind the shimmer. But, otherwise, it's very distracting, especially if the shimmer causes people's faces to distort.
What's behind the problem and what can I do to fix it? I suppose I could remove the movement from all shots but I'd REALLY like not to have to do that. There's not enough time in the world for that... Please advise.

While it is a little hard to tell from your description, what you are probably seeing is caused by the interlaced nature of a television. There are a variety of artifacts caused by the scanning and display processes in television, and even more introduced by the compressed nature of the broadcast signal when you are watching a broadcast. Further, many cheap televisions actually discard about 1/3 of the color signal they receive.
My guess is that you are seeing flicker introduced by the interlacing. This is a well known problem, and why made for television productions do not use any strongly patterned clothing (watch your evening news, and look how they are dressed - the choices are affected by the technology). Another possiblity is dot crawl, but I am not sure how you would be seeing that.
This is not something Apple can fix. You can fix it by using images that do not contain sharp transitions between light and dark. That is, soften, not sharpen the images.

  • Has there been any helpful remedy for the ghost typing issue?

    Has there been any helpful remedy for the ghost typing issue? Where the ipad starts typing on its own and screens moving around the screen?
    I have had the ipad 1 for a while- and it started about 5 months ago. Anything other than shutting down and leaving alone for hours work?

    Yeah, well if you read that whole thread you will see lots of posts identifying it as a hardware problem:
    I'm the original poster on this thread. I ended up taking my iPad back to the Apple Store. They ran some diagnostics, and found that my RAM was almost maxed out, which didn't really make sense. It indicated a faulty processor, so they gave me a new iPad. I took it home, synched, and it only took about 45 minutes to synch 30 gigs of data. My original iPad took about 5 hours to synch for the first time. Clearly there was a problem with the processor in the first one, but I didn't realize it at first, as it took several weeks before it started exhibiting the erratic screen behavior. Hope this helps anyone else who might experience this down the line.

    So i went to my apple store... which was PACKED. Found a manager and explained my problem. Without any question, they simply replaced it. Awesome!
    -duncanwilcox
    I have the same problem, and I found out what's wrong, it's not the software - restart, restore and FW upgrade will not help, it's definitely hardware. The best option is to replace your iPad assuming you have an apple store nearby…

    Just get your iPad replaced. It has a hardware problem.

  • Are there any patches available for Dev 21

    Hi,
    We've been working with Forms50 and Reports 25 under win95 for
    quite a while and have noticed occasional problems:
    - A program abort due to page fault protection under win95.For
    example, R30DES32 : R30LIB.dll.
    - You issue compile all and get and error that forms is not
    able to go to (goto error button).
    - A compile error that requires login in and out and
    recompile to fix.
    I wonder if
    - there are any patches available for Dev 21,
    - i have a memory shortage problem,
    - these are (especially case 1) win95 problems.
    Please help will be welcomed ................!

  • I want to communicate with J1850 system. Is there any hardware available for this?

    I would like to communicate with a J1850 system. I am wondering whether there is any hardware available for this similar to CAN. Is there a possibility to find exampls for this kind of communication.

    I'm still new in this area but I will try to help. AFAIK, J1850 comes in
    two flavors: VPW and PWM. You can purchase an adapter that converts RS232
    signals to those required by J1850 for about $100.
    I suggest using an adapter from Scantool.net. I say this because I
    have one and it's very easy to use. It's flexible enough to use with a
    terminal (hyperterminal, minicom, etc.) or to interface with LabVIEW, as I
    have done for you already. Go to OpenG.org for the download:
    http://openg.org/tiki/tiki-index.
    php?page=On+Board+Diagnostic+-+OBDII
    Let me know if it works for you. The interface is a little weak but the
    VIs should clue you in on how to handle communications. I plan to add
    another update in a few days so check the site regularly. I would
    appreciate your feedback.

  • Any books available for OS X Leopard Server?

    Does anyone know if there are any books available for OS X Leopard Server? I can find some for Tiger but not Leopard. Thanks

    Aside from the pretty cool PDF manuals Apple post on their site, I ordered this recently:
    http://www.amazon.co.uk/MAC-Server-Essentials-Apple-Training/dp/0321496604/ref=p dbbs_sr2?ie=UTF8&s=gateway&qid=1202853792&sr=8-2
    I know it's in the UK Store, but you may be able to get hold of it anyway. It's also focused on ACTC training, but I have always found these books excellent resources for learning OS X Server.
    Hope that helps a little,
    Paul

  • I would like to ask whether anyone knows of any true explanation for why the iPhone 5 starts at $199 in the US and £529 in the UK? That is more than a £400 discrepancy...

    I would like to ask whether anyone knows of any true explanation for why the iPhone 5 starts at $199 in the US and £529 in the UK? That is more than a £400 discrepancy...
    iPhones are duty free and even with a $50 shipping fee it would only come to £185.75 including VAT at the current exchange rate.

    How much a month is the standard 24month contract with AT&T or one of the other American providers that makes the handset cost $199?
    Here's the cheapest plans available from the big three:
    The plans start there and can run up to $230/mo (for AT&T).

  • How can I know about the latest updates / versions which when available for all the CC products, without having to install and check it with the Desktoip Creative Cloud Application ?

    How can I know about the latest updates / versions which when available for all the CC products, without having to install and check it with the Desktoip Creative Cloud Application ?

    Thanks for looking into this Jeff!
    I work with an Inventory module software and is responsible for software detection across several computers. Once an updated version comes up, I update our database with latest software details to get it detected if installed on any machines.
    The problem tracking updates with Desktop Creative Cloud Software are;
    1)We have to have it installed with the CC applications in-order to get the notification of the latest updates and have to check everyday.
    2)Only relates to the latest updates, so in-between we may miss a prior update unknowingly.Hence, the remote machines having those updates may not get  detected with the software version update which would create problem in reporting.
    3)For all CC products, there is no base or previous updates available for installation if we miss one.
    I went through the Adobe Products Update pages [Product updates] which holds good when it comes to Acrobat and Reader software which I follow to track down any newer updates but this is inconsistent when it comes to CC products like in After Effects CC, Dreamweaver CC etc...
    So overall to be very specific, is there any one channel I can follow to get the notifications only for the updates on CC products and then may be I can rely on Desktop Creative Cloud for installation if not available anywhere like in product update pages of Adobe ?

    Hello kumar kalptaru, 
    Thank you for participating in the Apple Support Communities. 
    It sounds like you're wondering how to hang up a call besides using the Sleep/Wake button. 
    Other than this, you can tap the red hang up button on the Phone app. See the iPhone User Guide for more help:
    While on a call - iPhone
    End a call. Tap  or press the Sleep/Wake button.
    Best Regards,

  • USELESS ONLINE HELP FACILITIES For all the amazing productivity aids that APPLE offers the world I have to report that their online support service is worse than useless and has recently been the source of immense time wasting and irritation.

    USELESS ONLINE HELP FACILITIES
    For all the amazing productivity aids that APPLE offers the world I have to report that their online support service is worse than useless and has recently been the source of immense time wasting and irritation.
    Incident 1. Since many months attempts to download new and updated APPs produced a response – Apple ID Disabled. I had no time to consult an APPLE Store due to work in distant lands. When I finally visited yesterday I was told that as my IPAD has been reported as stolen, and APPLE in its wisdom had blocked its usage! I am not sure how they became so misinformed and nobody every advised me while with a few swift moves APPLE could have located me by email address or SKYPE.
    Incident 2. Once the above anomaly had been fixed I tried to down load a newspaper and diligently input my address, credit card number and personal data. Repeatedly I was advised that my Credit Card was invalid and my postal code was incorrect! Really!
    I was left to guess that having moved from UK to the US I should have advised APPLE! Not being told of this requirement brought about a second visit to APPLE Store in the same day to waste both mine and their time with a routine anomaly. How parochial in the context of a globalized world!
    In each case I tried to resolve the issues using online access to a help line and by calling by phone at the numbers on the APPLE Website. In each of four separate occasions I diligently went through the routine and  ended up with a message that thanked me for contacting Apple followed by a polite ‘Good Bye’!
    In desperation I went to an Apple Store for the second time in a day as it is close to where I live when I am not working. On both occasions I was courteously attended to by Apple Staff.
    However, my work is usually far away from the US and it is generally many thousands of miles to the nearest Apple Store therefore online help is viewed as imperative if one is to resolve issues away from home.
    Why can Apple not provide a clearly marked EMAIL address and Telephone number at a Help Desk with real people to respond to requests for help? It would cost nothing in relative terms and might restore my high level of anti-APPLE sentiment that these two recent events have provoked.

    Why can Apple not provide a clearly marked EMAIL address and Telephone number at a Help Desk with real people to respond to requests for help?
    If that is your question, the answer is at the bottom right of this web page. It is clearly marked "Contact Us" and is the best way, really the only way, to contact Apple.
    If there were a publicly posted email address for concerns such as yours, it would be quickly filled with spam in about three minutes, thereby becoming instantly useless to you and everyone else. Apple would need to change it hourly, if not more often. That is also the reason you ought not to post your name, location, and what appears to be your iPad's serial number on this publicly viewable website.
    Apple does not respond here and I can find no other questions for your fellow Apple users to answer.
