Are there any Blender 3D users out there.... Node editor glitch

I work on a MacBook Pro (Santa Rosa 2.2) with OS X 10.4.11 and have noticed that the "previews" in the node editor have weird lines and visual glitches. See http://entplex.org/node_preview.png and http://entplex.org/node_preview2.png. Note the static in the viewer and comp nodes. This occurs with both 2.44 and 2.45. This occurs with ANY node setup I try and even after reseting user defaults in blender. I have even gone as far as trying to run blender from a clean install of os x on an external hard drive. Has anyone else noticed this or is there something wrong with my system? Can anyone confirm or deny this?

*looks like a graphics card issue.*
*try looking here: http://www.blendernation.com/2008/02/22/blender-problems-on-leopard-solved/*
*Also, that stretching comes from your (output) format ... usually.*
*I'd try moving your output to ntsc (720x486) and deselecting fields (if those are selected)*

  • Any former Avid users out there....

    I am helping a another company gather footage from our library. However, they use Avid (PC version) and we run all Final Cut. Two days ago I gave them a hard drive with all the digitized footage as Quicktime movies using either an HDV codec (HDV 720p30 shot from a JVC GY-HD100) or DV/DVCPRO NTSC codec.
    The producer and editor have both told me that they cannot open some of the files and are having problems bringing other files into Avid. So what is the native file format/codec for Avid? Should I give them avi files?
    While I have not worked with Avid directly I assumed it was similar to FCP (or maybe FCP is similar to Avid depending on which side of the fence you're on). I figured you could ingest just about anything and while you may have to render it, it should fit on the same timeline.
    As a small insight, I talked to the producer yesterday who said that some of the footage was in an odd size. He said it was bigger than the usual 720 by something (these are the producers words paraphrased). I told him it was high definition. He said well let me pass you over to the editor whose cutting the project. The editor gets on the phone and asks, "As part of your normal workflow do you guys normally mix SD and HD in the same project?" Apparently he'd never heard of doing such a thing.
    I wasn't sure if this guy had just crawled out from under a rock and realized that much of the Western world was now getting more involved with HD...maybe he just watched the Super Bowl in High Definition. I don't know, but I told him that we do it all the time - upres SD to HD or downconverting HD to SD is a pretty common part of our workflow.
    So I am trying to figure out how can I give the footage to them so they can easily ingest it (avi, OMF, Quicktime with a certain codec, etc). I am not getting paid to do their laundry so I am trying to make it as simple as possible to get this footage to them. Any ideas?

    You might have an incompatibly formatted drive. Some of your files are accessible in that file structure, others are not. Seen it happen. No clue.
    Or, of course, you could send them a tape or two, then let them recapture.
    <
    This is the best possible solution unless you are prepared to work on the least common denominator which is likely to be an extreme choice: the lossless and hugely prolific Animation codec. (There must be other inter-platform codecs, I've never used Avid, so I dunno)
    You can get additional help by posting a similar question on an Avid forum. Try creativecow.net and try not to take the elitists personally over there. They think anything that isn't purple is a threat unto their livelihoods and are likely to be rather, umm, snippy. Not like us at all.
    Suggest you couch it like this: "I had to give up my favorite and ultracool Avid to go to work at a shop that is all, get this, Final Cut. I used to be able to exchange my QT files with my old Avid Macintosh chums easily but some of my old Avid chums have been forced to switch from their Macs to PC versions (can you IMAGINE?) and they need media from me. I use these formats on FCP (list here). What's the no-brainer pathway for us to exchange media freely and openly since we're all brothers and sisters working together on the same creative team and want to be able to work together without any finger-pointing since none of our editing platform decisions were our own."

  • Any UK/European users out there?

    Does anyone have any insight into the practicalities of iPad use between countries? In my case, I live in UK (and can buy an iPad here) ... but I also spend time in Italy, where I would like to use it to access the Internet and e-mail. How do I do that?
    I'm trying to avoid paying the roaming charges, by having two accounts and two sim cards , so that , if possible I am charged the respective rates for whichever country I am in. Anyone know if this is feasible?

    Brought my IPad 3G which was purchased in the USA to the UK and went to the Apple Store in Cambridge for help on changing from AT&T to a UK sim card provider. Their genius offered no help. Went to the O2 store and they had a mini sim card and account for the IPad however when the sim card was inserted it would not bring up the account set up portal View Account so there was no way to set up the account on my IPad. Fortunately the manager of the store had a IPad 3G which he purchased in the UK and he was able to set up my O2 sim card account on his IPad and then move it to my IPad. This round about worked and I was able to use 3G which is very spotty in the UK during my visit. However, there was NO View Account setting to cancel the the account and I had to go back to the store and have the same manager put the sim card into his IPad to cancel the account prior to leaving. This experience would negate that you can easily travel and use mini sim cards from other countries in your IPad. Is this a glitch with Apple software that does not allow you to open multiple sim card accounts? Regardless, it needs to be addressed and corrected by Apple as many people like myself purchased the 3G model believing the marketing that they could easily use it with multiple sim card accounts while traveling abroad. I appreciate any comments...especially from Apple.

  • Any westcoast Canada users out there?

    I have a hard time setting up pop mail in mail 3.3, not matter what I do, I can only send but cannot receive email. I have talked to both my work and home isp, no luck with that. Is there anybody using Shaw or Telus can answer my question? Thanks Alex

    Like I said, I'm using IMAP, so my settings won't help you if you are wanting to configure POP. They will only help you if you switch to IMAP.
    It only takes a minute or two to visit Telus' customer website and switch to IMAP. Do you still want me to share my IMAP settings with you?

    Propellehead has an article on that problem here, but not having an account with them (and not wishing to set one up), I can't read it and so be sure it will address your issue. Worth checking out, though.

    Are there any unanticipated problems in carrying out the procedure outlined in the 'Windows Migration Assistant' instructions?

    One I have seen mentioned a couple of times is it will set up an identical user account on the Mac, which has led to some problems.
    I don't know how to fix this since I haven't used Windows since 1995.

  • HT201356 I have accidentally deleted my alternate iCloud (email) address. Are there any possibilities to retrieve it back because my iPad is connected to that email address, and now, I can't log out from it on my iPad, because it doesn't exist?

    I have accidentally deleted my alternate iCloud (email) address. Are there any possibilities to retrieve it back because my iPad is connected to that email address, and now, I can't log out from it on my iPad, because it doesn't exist.
    I have alternate icloud email attached to my iPad and I accidentally delete it from appleid.apple.com. And now I can't log out that iCloud account because it doesn't exist and it can't recognize my password.

    If you mean that Find My Phone is asking for a password to a different Apple ID to your current Apple IDand that ID is a previous version of your current ID, not an entirely different one.
    This feature has been introduced to make stolen phones useless to those that have stolen them.
    However it can also arise when the user has changed their Apple ID details with Apple and not made the same changes to their iCloud account/Find My Phone on their device before upgrading to iOS 7, or if you restore from a previous back up made before you changed your details and some other circumstances.
    The only solution is to change your Apple ID back to its previous state with Apple at My Apple ID using your current password, you don’t need access to this address if it’s previously been used with your Apple ID, once you have saved these details enter the password as requested on your device and then turn off "find my phone" and delete the account from your device. It may take a short while to remove the account.
    You should then change your Apple ID back to its current state, save it once again and then log back in using your current Apple ID. Finally, turn "find my phone" back on once again.

    You don't need to upgrade your software.  But if you're struggling with Spry, IMO you should cut your losses and switch to something better for the longrun.
    If you have a budget to work with, I highly recommend Project Seven's Pop-Menu Magic 3.  It's easy to use in DW CS4, 5, 6 or CC.  More importantly, it's bullet proof and works in all devices.

    If you don't have a budget to work with, you can roll your own menus with jQuery plugins.  A bit more effort on your part, but they perform better than Spry.

  • I have qualitynet either wired internet. I buy a card good for a month at a time, I can only log into one device at any one time.  Are there settings I can adjust on my airport express to allow all my devices to connect to wi-fi without having to log out.

    I have qualitynet either wired internet. I buy a card good for a month at a time, I can only log into one device at any one time.  Are there settings I can adjust on my airport express to allow all my devices to connect to wi-fi without having to log out of one devise before using another?

    Some Internet providers that limit access to a single device at a time do so by the device's hardware MAC address. If your ISP is one of those, you may be able to substitute the MAC address of your AirPort Express base station for the computer. I would suggest that you contact them to find out if this is allowable.

  • Are there any out the box tools for detailing Exchange organization ?

    Are there any tools which we go out an audit an exchange enviornment showing the servers, roles and configuration ?  it needs to be able to get this information ideally for all versions of Exchange 2003, 2007, 2010 and 2013.
    Thanks in advance.

    You can collect the Organizational Health in Exchange 2010 console for Exchange 2003/2007/2010 and that will list very useful information about statistics in your organization like servers, databases, CALs, recipient, feature used etc...
    Collect Organizational Health Data -
    http://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/library/dd351156%28v=exchg.141%29.aspx
    However it doesn't contain any configuration information and that you need to collect it manually because that depends on needs of each organization and how they want to setup their infrastructure...

  • Are there any apps which will allow local calling using data only that do not require any special numbers called out initially and does not require the receiver to have a similar app or account?

    Are there any apps which will allow local calling using data only (not minutes, no extra charge) that do not require any special numbers called out initially and does not require the receiver to have a similar app or account?  Just for random local calling.

    Yup.
    Here is a way you could solve this by adding an extra column and a small lookup table:
    The lookup table is here for the copying:
    0
    1
    k
    kilo
    2
    M
    mega
    3
    G
    giga
    4
    T
    tera
    5
    P
    peta
    6
    E
    exa
    7
    Z
    zetta
    8
    Y
    yotta
    In table 8 (the one on the left in the image) column A is where the values are. 
    B1=A1÷(1024^VLOOKUP(INT(LOG(A1, 1024)), Binary Prefixes::A:D, 1))&" "&VLOOKUP(INT(LOG(A1, 1024)), Binary Prefixes::A:D, 2)&"B"
    this is shorthand for... select cell B1, then type (or copy and paste from here) the formula:
    =A1÷(1024^VLOOKUP(INT(LOG(A1, 1024)), Binary Prefixes::A:D, 1))&" "&VLOOKUP(INT(LOG(A1, 1024)), Binary Prefixes::A:D, 2)&"B"
    select cell B1, copy,
    now select all the cells in column B, paste

  • Are there any new Macbook pro laptops coming out soon?

    Are there any new Macbook pro laptops coming out soon? Because if there are i will wait to buy one.

    There are always new MacBook Pro models coming out soon. However with current 2011 models you can install the faster, Rosetta program loving OS X Snow Leopard with a hack, instead of the new clitchy and unstable OS X Lion.
    So you have a choice now, but for not much longer. If you wait another 6 -8 months, Lion will be stable and more programs will be compatible with it.
    If this is your first Mac, I would wait. If you can do a simple hack with another Snow Leopard Mac, then you can opt to get one now and revert it to Snow Leopard and have a stable machine.
    Else take your chances with Lion.
