Applying filter to a section of the screen? other question:

Ok, I've used the mask to isolate one part of the screen to which I applied a blur filter. So now, The people near the lence are out of fucus and then become in focus. What I'm trying to do is: as the people in front get in focus, the people in the back get out of focus (blurred). I'm trying to use the "add/substracte" function of the mask, but it doesn't seem to be animatable. I was thinking about making a duplicate of the background and the mask and animating both.

Or use the compound blur filter and use the shape tool to fashion a graphic for the area you want to blur and dump it into the shape well...

  • Enlarge a section of the screen or at least vertical zooming option

    Isn't there in FCE the zooming funcionality of Logic (Zooming to enlarge a section of the screen to fill the whole window)?
    And if no, is there at least a vertical zooming option?

    I'm not sure I understand what you need.
    In any case if you want to enlarge a section of the clip, you can use the Motion tab of the viewer: open the clip from the timeline into the viewer, open the Motion tab, change Center and Scale until the section you want is centered in the window and zoomed as required.
    If you want you can also keyframe both Center and Scale to move them as you like.
    As another possibility you can activate Image+Wireframe in the canvas, and while the clip is selected in the timeline you can drag the image in the canvas window to move its center, and drag one of its corners to change its zoom.
    I hope this answers your question

  • Firefox 4 blacks out and distorts sections of the screen if I scroll on a website, navigate the bookmarks or sometimes just randomly.

    Firefox 4 blacks out and distorts sections of the screen if I scroll on a website, navigate the bookmarks, at the addons/extensions menu or sometimes just randomly. Occasionally this causes it to crash often with the rest of the computer (no crash report). The previous versions of firefox all ran fine.

    I seem to have fixed this by setting layers.acceleration.disabled to true (In about:config). I assume this is something to do with graphics hardware acceleration but I am not sure what the wider consequences of changing this setting are. Nothing seems to be going wrong so far though.

  • Left hand section of the screen discoloration in lockscreen

    My 8gb memory 13 inch display Macbook pro retina is relatively new (couple weeks old). Recently I noticed when I put it to sleep mode, and turn it back on to the lock screen, I see a section on the left hand corner of the screen which has vertical streaks (a lighter gray pigment color than the rest of the screen). I've done some testing on it, and the unusual thing is, it literally is only visible when on the lock screen, in which my background is visible. So I don't believe it is a hardware issue pertaining to the screen; possibly software issue?. But it does give me some concern, especially because my laptop is only a few weeks old, and the most I've done on it was some document work, emails, videos, etc. Any input would be greatly appreciated.

    Hello,
    Certain Thunderbird problems can be solved by peforming a ''Clean Reinstall''. This means you remove Thunderbird's Program Files then reinstall Thunderbird. Please follow these steps:
    #Download the latest version of Thunderbird from http://www.mozilla.org/en-US/thunderbird/ and save the setup file to your computer.
    #After the download is complete, close all Thunderbird windows (Click Exit/Quit from the menu button on the right).
    #*'''Windows:'''
    #** C:\Program Files\Mozilla Thunderbird\
    #** C:\Program Files (x86)\Mozilla Thunderbird\
    #*'''Mac:''' Delete Thunderbird from the Applications folder.
    #*'''Linux:''' If you installed Thunderbird with the distro-based package manager, you should use the same way to uninstall it - see [[Installing Thunderbird on Linux]]. If you downloaded and installed the binary package from the [http://www.mozilla.org/en-US/thunderbird/ Thunderbird Download Page], simply remove the folder ''thunderbird'' in your home directory.
    #Now, go ahead and reinstall Thunderbird:
    ##Double-click the downloaded installation file and go through the steps of the installation wizard.
    ##Once the wizard is finished, choose to open Thunderbird after clicking the Finish button.
    <b>WARNING:</b> Do not run Thunderbird's uninstaller or use a third party remover as part of this process, because that could permanently delete your Thunderbird data, including but not limited to, extensions,emails, personal settings and saved passwords. <u>These cannot be recovered unless they have been backed up to an external device!</u>
    Please report back to see if this helped you!
    Thank you.

  • Different clips in various sections of the screen...

    The only way I am familiar of having various clips on the screen at once is by arranging them in the tracks and then cropping, scaling, and moving them around in the canvas.
    Is anyone familiar with another method?
    Thank you.

    What's wrong with this method?

  • When opening a new tab from the bookmark it opens in a section of the screen

    sometimes I open bookmark link from the favourites, it happens regularly that those do not open in a new tab or window but in a portion of the screen, as if I pressed Ctrl B and opened it in there in the bookmark.
    Your prompt reply is much appreciated

    Opening in the Sidebar is the default action for bookmarks that are created via a "Bookmark this Page" link or button on a website. Make sure you use the many "Bookmark this Page" methods that are in Firefox instead.
    Right-click that bookmark and select '''Properties''', then un-check the preference for '''Load this bookmark in the sidebar''', and then click Save.

    Hi skippy2012trev,
    Welcome to the Apple Support Communities!
    I understand that you updated your Apple Id and password but now you are being prompted for the old information in iCloud. You are on the right track by changing the Apple ID back to the previous email address temporarily so that you can sign out. You should not need to verify the email address. After you edit the Apple ID back to the old email address and then sign out of iCloud on your iPhone, edit the Apple ID back to the address you would currently like to use. There is no need to change the password again, only the email address, unless you prefer to update the password again.
    If you're asked for the password to your previous Apple ID when signing out of iCloud - Apple Support
    Change your Apple ID temporarily
    If signing out and back in to iMessage or FaceTime didn't help, try these steps:
    Change your Apple ID to the Apple ID you used previously. You shouldn't need to verify the email address.
    Tap Settings > iCloud. Complete these steps only if the Find My [Device] setting is turned on:
    Scroll down and tap Sign Out, then tap Sign Out to confirm. If you're using iOS 7 or earlier, tap Delete Account, then tap Delete to confirm.
    Tap Keep on My [Device] or Delete from My [Device]. In either case, your data remains in iCloud and will be updated on your device when you sign in to iCloud again.
    Enter the password for your previous Apple ID.
    Change your Apple ID to the new email address that you want to use. You'll need to verify the email address.
    Return to Settings > iCloud and sign in with your new Apple ID.
    Cheers,
    Joe

  • My Iphone 4 has a section of the screen not responding to touch - it's where i have to enter my pincode so won't unlock - what can I do?

    Hi I have a strip across the middle of my Iphone 4 screen that is not repsonding to touch at all.  One minute it was working the next it wasn't.  It's right across where I need to input my pincode to unlock, so I can;t do anything with the phone at all. I've tried soft resetting it etc but no joy.  What else can I do - phone is only 6 or 7 weeks old

    well recomend to see if ur iPhone is under warranty.. but sounds like a hareware issue! you can try it but i dont think it would work but to see if its a software issue put device it Recover mode or known has DFU mode an force restore (you will lose all content on the iPhone) an install 6.1.3 fresh on it but to me sounds like a LCD & Digitizer problem might need a new Assembly...

  • HP Support Assistant pop-up message frozen on my lower right section of the screen, won't click off

    Help! A pop up message from the HP Support Assistant keeps popping up a few minutes after starting up my Pavilion laptop. It won't click off. It asks me if I want to keep Quick Access in my taskbar, but it won't let me pick yes or no or click it off. Help!  
    If I restart my computer, it goes away, but then comes back.
    What can I do? Thanks

    Hello wwheartww,
    If you go into the HP Support Assistant settings you can change how you display notifications on your laptop. Try setting the notifications to task bar only and see if the pop up continues to come up on your screen.

  • The interface is so big, that I can only see a small section of the screen.

    I installed Photoshop CC 2014 on Windows 8.1 operating system. I inadvertently checked a preference in the 'experimental' I think, that has caused the interface on my 17'' Dell CRT to be so big that I can't navigate around to change the preferences again. I can see maybe a sixth of the workspace that I'm in. How do I fix that?

    Well, if you can't see enough of the interface to reconfigure it, you *could* reset all preferences to defaults...
    Press and hold Control - Shift - Alt simultaneously immediately upon cold-starting Photoshop. If you get the keys down quickly enough - and you have to be really quick - it will prompt you to confirm deletion of your current preferences, which will lead to the establishment of a fresh default set. If it does not prompt you, you haven't been quick enough to get the keys down.

  • My Mac Book Pro has just had a new memory and solid state drive installed. After the installation, the Lightroom tools all became grey. There is no longer any color on the screen other than my picture. Even the color sliders are grey.  Can you please help

    My MacBook Pro just had a new memory and solid state drive installed. Since the installation, the Lightroom tools are now all grey. Even the color sliders are grey. Please help!

    My guess is that your operating system got updated to Mavericks and that you are running an old version of Lightroom:
    Sliders are white, look different | Mac OS X 10.9 Mavericks
    Be aware of a Lightroom bug with color management in mavericks that makes shadows too deep in the Develop module: Jao's photo blog: Serious color management bug in Mac OS 10.9 "Mavericks" and Jao's photo blog: Further quantification of the Mavericks color management problem.

  • 2008 Macbook Pro gets sections of vertical lines along the right facing side of the screen... the sections vary in colour when moving the display on its hinges, and is relieved slightly when applying upwards pressure to the bottom of the display.. cheers!

    There are two different sections of the screen that get this effect... first off the closest to the right will distort about an inch in... then after some time another inch willl follow. the best way i can describe is a band of moving horizontal lines spreading virtically down the screen about an inch in width, changing in colour.
    any help i much appreciated! obiously the mac is out of warranty... is there a 'do it yourself' approach i can take? replacing the lvds cable? just thought id ask first before i start taking things apart!
    cheers guys!

    Whoa, I think I just figured out what the problem is, but it's really wierd.
    So, I didn't do anything about it, since it was a little expensive, and just used the laptop with an external screen (which works fine).
    For some reason, I tried to use it as a laptop today, and it worked perfectly. I took it downstairs, and after a while it stopped working again, and the screen started doing all those wierd things it did as described in the original post. It was working fine for hours, upstairs.
    Then somehow it hit me! The laptop had been upstairs in my computer/storage room (which happens to be freezingly cold atm, since I don't heat that room, let's say it's like max 8°C in here) for a long time, which means the laptop was also pretty cold.
    Downstairs, in the living room, it's a lot hotter, about 20°C.
    So, it seems to be temperature-related. Now, as crazy as this sounds, I tested it for 10 hours in a row.
    I took it upstairs and downstairs at least 5 times. tried plugging in devices, using it with and without power supply, but whatever I did the result was the same:
    -Use it upstairs (cold room): It works, I can do whatever I want to it, open and close the laptop as much as I desire, it keeps working as it should.
    -Use it downstairs (hot room): It works for a while, even pretty long (as long as you don't close it and open it again). Once you open it downstairs after it has been there for a while, all issues pop up again.
    Can someone please explain how this is possible ?

  • If you rub the edge of the fingerprint scanner in a circle, why does the screen drop down?

    MY daughter was drawing circles around the metal part of the fingerprint scanner and noticed the screen contents moves to the bottom of the screen instead of the top. Then it goes back to the top when touched again. Why does it do this?

    That is a feature of the 6 & 6 plus.  I believe it is called reachability.  It moves the furthest section of the screen down to allow for one handed use.

  • 1/3 of the screen shows nothing but black

    I searched all over the internet, and I am afraid I am the only person who has encountered this problem.
    I was watching a movie through air video, and the video freezes. When I hit the home button, 1/3 of the screen is still showing the frozen frame of the movie. No matter what I do, that section of the screen continues to show the frozen frame.
    I turn the iPad off then back on, that section now is completely black. The iPad works fine except for that section showing nothing.
    I have gone into general settings and reset, and I have held home and the lock button to reset as well. Nothing has worked.
    How can this be? Did the application fry the video connection or the display? It seems quite impossible for an application to affect hardware this way. I am also overseas in a country where the iPad has not been released yet, I feel very helpless. Please help.

    Next try is to connect to your computer and do a wipe and restore. First try restoring from you backup (iTunes makes one automatically). If that does not fix it do a wipe and restore to factor new configuration without any apps or dat/files installed to see if it works that way. If that does not work, make an appointment at an Apple store or call Apple Care.
