Artifacts and transparency issues in projects converted from CP4 to CP5.5

I've recently upgraded to ELearning Suite 2.5 and converted a major project I'm working on. Aside from captions no longer fitting their spaces I'm seeing many many examples of corrupted images. These were 24-bit PNGs created in the corresponding versions of Photoshop. In some cases there are, for lack of better words, "artifacts" appearing near the original images, in one case a background has what looks like a smudge.
But the worst problems by far are transitions within slides that involve transparency, for but one example: a background image set to 20% opacity that fades in over 20 seconds. In Captivate 4 it slowly appeared and remained nicely translucent when the fade-in completed. The converted version has small black dots appearing like a swarm of gnats at various time throughout the fade-in and like a glowing residue when the fade-in finishes. It's completely unacceptable — I can't publish the project in its current state.
The CP4 projects were created in AS2, and they're converted to AS3. Is that the problem? Do I have to use CP4 and the 4.0 version to complete projects already in progress?
Any advice, thoughts, ideas, similar experiences?

Thanks! It was set to "Retain Quality Settings," and I never touched it after the upgrade. I cranked it to High, re-published, and I think it may now even be a bit sharper than the older version.
Thanks again for your suggestion.

Cannot 'Unmark Blank' for FIB Questions after Upgrade from CP4 to CP5 (Fill in the Blank)

Hi Everyone!
I'm having trouble editing a fill in the blank question that was upgraded from CP4 to CP5.
The problems is I cannot see where the blank is. Not the blank in my sentence, I have that, but the entry box. When running the course the blanks are at the TOP LEFT corner fo the slide.
but when creating the course I can't see where the blanks are, to move them.....
So to Troubleshoot, I thought I'd re-construct the answers, I clicked the sentence, and clicked unmark ... but it does not unmark....
<EDIT> Okay I got it to unmark, sorta, but not really. Now I have three answer boxes on the test in run mode, but cant see ANY in CP5 when building it. </EDIT>
Hmmmmm
Anyone got ideas?
(re-constructing the question on a new slide is not desired, I have hundres of questions, considering my 30 courses.
Thank you!
Greg

Hello,
Sorry, but I do not understand your question quite well, it is an editing issue when upgrading. Perhaps it would help if you posted some screenshots?
And to be sure: did you install the patch for CP5 released in December?

SVG to PDF/AI gradient and transparency issues

This is probably quite off topic for these forums, so apologies for that up front, but I can't seem to get answers in more appropriate places.
I am trying to use inkscape or rsvg-convert, which both use cairo, to convert SVG to PDF.
Firstly, when I open the SVG in Illustrator directly, everything works as expected, but the cairo converted PDF has a couple of problems.
Typically I get "An unknown shading type was encountered" and the offending shapes are un-editable "images" with a clipping mask over them.
There are two circumstances that result in problems for me.
1) A gradient with only 2 stops.
In the following example I have duplicated the offset="0" stop which fixes things and means that the resulting shape that is filled with this gradient works fine. Without the duplicate declaration, the gradient is converted to an un-editable image with a clipping mask when the PDF is viewed in Illustrator.
   <linearGradient id="ian_symbols_b8a58aafc1f12e74492e9e865b7f569b" gradientUnits="userSpaceOnUse" x1="113.7275" y1="136.9414" x2="197.0259" y2="136.9414">
    <stop offset="0" style="stop-color:#927A62" id="stop1472" />
    <stop offset="0" style="stop-color:#927A62" id="stop1472_dup" />
    <stop offset="1" style="stop-color:#93866F" id="stop1474" />
   </linearGradient>
2) A shape that has an opacity that is less than "1". I don't know how to fix this one and still maintain the look of the original. I understand that there are some issues with transparency and the PDF format, but obviously the full AI version of the PDF format these days supports transparency.
Does anyone have any experience doing server-side conversions of SVG to PDF and have managed to create a PDF which contains gradients and transparency that are actually editable once opened in Illustrator?
Or does anyone know if there is something more I can do with the original SVG code to make the opacity work ok in the final PDF?
Thanks

Works fine for me as .ai with pdf comptible turned on. You may have input transparency in the wrong location in Illustrator. Change opacity in the gradient palette, and not tint in the color palette.
Opacity is 0 here, anything less tha 100% will create tranaprency. To proof in Illustratopr do a Shift Command D to change your background to a checkerboard pattern.

Unable to modify skin settings after project upgrade from Cp3 to Cp5

Folks, just got the full upgrade from Cp3 to Cp5 (not a trial version and Cp3 is wiped out and there's no going back). One of the first snags I'm finding is that when I wanted to publish, I cannot modify my skin settings. Before in Cp3 I had a saved my skin settings as a named profile, which is what you see in the attached image. However, the skin profile is no longer a link so I cannot click and modify it.
Has anyone else experienced this and found a workaround?
Thanks, community!

OK, perhaps I found the answer... and the problem was due to my own unfamiliarity with Captivate 5 (or over-familiarity with Captivate 3).
Basically, the skin editor is now accessed by Window > Skin Editor (or Shift + F11). So, it appears that the difference is that now from the publish dialog box there is not a hyperlink to the skin editor as there was in Cp3. That's fine by me as long as I can get to it!

Backup Project Converted from iMovie

Hi, new to FCE from iMovie, as you can tell from this post. I have an iMovie project that I converted to FCE and want to back it up to reclaim some hard drive space. I have a few questions on just what I need to keep and what I can toss.
1) AutoSave Vault. Do I need all of these, just the most recent, or any of them?
2) Render Files. Do I need to save all of these?
3) Audio Render Files. Ditto.
Also, just out of curiosity, after you import an iMovie project into FCE, do you still need to keep the iMovie project? Does it copy the DV files into FCE, or does it refer back to them in iMovie?

You may want to post your question in the FCE forum: http://discussions.apple.com/forum.jspa?forumID=936

Transparency issue when generating PDF from InDesign Server

Hi there
Has anyone experienced any issues with transparency appearing solid white when generating a PDF from the InDesign server? There is no issue when exporting from the InDesign application, only when using the Server.
Any pointers / suggestions would be much appreciated
Thanks

Davey, please send me an InDesign Server document that I could use to reproduce this problem. My e-mail address is [email protected] Thank you. --DougR

How can I duplicate a text style in a project converted from a trailer?

I am working off of the Supernatural trailer in iMovie '11. I am trying to reuse the format of the text interspersed throughout, but I can't find the text style to apply or copy and paste the text bubble in the editing window both before and after converting it to a project. The text I'm talking about has a light tracking across it as it fades in over a black background with dark cloud behind it. I know the original text can be moved to different parts of the project, but is there any way to use this style in more places than it was used in the original trailer?

command click on the textbox and then move the cursor to near the corner when it changes to a curved arrow, then drag that around to rotate the object.
If it won't rotate it is possible that it is Inline and not Floating:
Inspector > Metrics > Rotate

Overscanning issue when down converting from 720p to PAL SD DVD

Hi, I recently made a SD DVD in DVDSP, to be shown at an upcoming festival. Test screening the DVD, I noticed that the edges of the frame had been cropped on both top and bottom and sides - but not by very much. After checking the DVD on another computer as well as adjustimg the projector settings, the problem seems to have been at least in part inherent to the DVD itself and I am wondering why?
The workflow I used was to edit in AIC in FCP, then write an uncompressed HD master (1280x720)- which was then run through After Effects to put the title sequence on (with the same settings), and then I used compressor to make a MPEG2 - tweaking the settings slightly from default. The end result was then imported to DVDSP, and written - with the resulting cropping problem.
Any thoughts where I went wrong, and how I might get the rest of my picture back for screening purposes?
Much obliged for any and all input,
-Tom

Thanks Harm...
1. Don't uprez SD material.
Not optional here...this is NTSC SD 4:3 legacy footage that is integral to the content...however there are many stills and animation of stills that can be created HD rez, then incorporate the SD footage at full rez as a scaled/vignette at 720x480/1440x1080i?
2. Instead shoot HD, so get another camera.
See above
3. Second, lose the Matrox.
Matrox seems to do a fairly descent job or down rezzing from 16:9 to 4:3 ...with Pan & Scan I could keyframe the scan and pan...any specific reason you have not to use RT.X2?
4. Third, maybe forget about NTSC if you shot PAL. The time it takes and the inherent quality hit are not worth it, IMO
All acquistion done in NTSC 4:3 DVCAM
5. BR PAL does not support P.
Ahhhh...thanks for that....I was not aware of this...i(interlaced only) in UK... eh? I'll research this further...both for UK broadcast and DVD home video
Again...many thanks for taking the time to respond...anyone else?
Best,
Mick

Open and work on FCP project file located at xsan volume

It is recommended by apple to *open and work on FCP project file located at xsan volume*
or we should open , work and save our FCP project file from local drive only .
Is there is risk of corrupting xsan volume if we open FCP project file placed in xsan volume .
where should be the location of FCP project files ??????
Mac pro 2.66 , FCP 6.01, xsan 1.4

Opening a file twice is a indeed a problem. To prevent this, and for numerous other reasons, we use Open Directory. In OD you can configure that a user can login just once (concurrently).
In old versions of xsan it was not recommended to put project files on xsan, but nowadays it works fine.
Putting projectfiles on a san has the advantage that a user can work on any client. If this is not important in your environment these files can be stored locally.

This has worked fine with MobileMe with only a couple of minor glitches in the past.
Any experience doing this the "right" way?
