Background's color that was corrected showing up again in fast movements

I color corrected a shot and the color of background was changed via secondaries, just like a chroma key situation.
It works very fine, except when the actor is moving faster:
For example, when he moves an arm a little faster, then it creates a king of flicker, because the old color of the background is "coming back" on the edges of the arm, during the movement.
In FCP, when I go frame by frame, the shot is fine, the arm moves frame by frame and you cannot see the previous color of the background on the edges of the arm.
I see the problem on the TV, when watching a burned DVD. I tried Compression markers on the movement but it doesn't help.
I wonder if this due to Color or FCP or Compressor.
Thanks.

Most of the challenges that you're encountering are common compositing woes.
Whether its film-originated shutter blur or video interlace, motion generates values in the transitional zone that can't always be solved with a single approach.
COLOR was never intended to be a compositing tool. That is why there is AfterEffects and Shake and all the rest. A roto-scoped vignette probably won't help and will be arduous at best. A major contributing reason is that you would need a shape for every field, not frame, which is all you can do.
Try a second cloned layer in Final Cut if you don't want to deal with a dedicated green-screen/compositing application. Use your original as the foreground, cut a matte with it and reveal your cloned layer which you could re-correct with the three-way FCP correction filter.
With an app like Shake, which accounts for interlace, you can generate several mattes, extract and create alpha channels, dodge them, dilate-erode-blur them, combine mattes and so on til the cows come home, have a beer and leave again. Which I believe I will do.

    I had music on my i tunes that I deleted.  When I sync my iphone the music that was deleted shows up.  How do I get rid of the music I do not want on my iphone?

    Connect your I-phone to i-tunes , click on music . Not the one in the library but the music that opened up when you connected to i-tunes . Highlight the complete album or songs you want deleted, then right click and delete. Once you deleted the songs off you i-phone, then click the music from the library of your i-tunes. If that same music or album is also in there then repeat what you did in the i-phone to delete . This should take it all out.
    good luck

  • My website background image color is not correct in Safari????

    On my website my background jpg image that appears in bottom left corner is not correct in Safari. In ALL other web browsers (Firefox 3.1, IE, Opera, etc) my website looks fine! So it must be a setting or error in Safari. The jpg image in question has a background color of 191919 (dark gray) and it matches in Firefox and IE, etc... but not in Safari? In Safari my jpg image is a lighter color than rest of webpage. My header is the same type of file (jpg with #191919 background) and it looks fine... THAT is the strange part!
    Is this a known issue with safari or am I doing something wrong? I have tried no color management on the image in Photoshop and with color management in Photoshop (when I save for web) and this doesn't seem to matter. It is driving me crazy. My website looks silly in Safari with this error. www.eXacteXposure.com is the website.

    I'm not seeing that problem here, either (Safari 3.1.2 in Mac OS X 10.5.5). The image at the bottom left corner matches the background nicely.
    Have you looked at your site on more than one Mac running Safari? My thinking at this point is that your web site and images are fine, but there's a problem with your installation of Safari. Do you have any third party Safari "enhancers" or hacks installed?

  • Cant change color on visited sites without changing background /foreground colors that hide options on the sitec

    I want to change the color of visited sites, but am forced to set background and foreground colors which don't properly
    show all of the colors for controls etc on many websites.
    I have to uncheck the button to Allow pages to choose their own colors....
    Google is a good example after doing a search, then change visited sites color, uncheck the allow pages button and then you can't see the search button and most of the options in the top right corner in google.
    I am a little color blind, so can't differentiate blue and purple for links on visited sites...
    thx

    I think the problem is that many sites use background colors to create buttons, so you lose that when you override the page's colors.
    Maybe you could use an add-on to fine-tune colors instead of Firefox's all-or-nothing setting. I found a couple extensions that say they can change page colors, but I haven't tried them myself:
    * [https://addons.mozilla.org/firefox/addon/color-that-site/ Color That Site!]
    * [https://addons.mozilla.org/firefox/addon/colorific-1/ Colorific]
    * [https://addons.mozilla.org/firefox/addon/toggledocumentcolors-198916/ ToggleDocumentColors_]
    * [https://addons.mozilla.org/firefox/addon/color-toggle/ Color toggle]
    For a truly custom approach to link colors, there are two general purpose ways to apply your own style rules to specific sites: the Stylish extension and a userContent.css files. You would need to set a preferred text ''and'' background color for visited and unvisited links so that you are guaranteed to be able to read the text.
    Hope one of these fits the bill!

  • Import footage that was corrected on monitor with 2,35 gamma

    Hi,
    I received Prores HQ footage that was color corrected on a monitor with 2,35 gamma.
    It looks quite bright on my monitor which is calibrated to 2,2 gamma.
    What would be the easyest way in After effects to adjust the gamma from 2,35 to 2,2 so that the image will look as it should.

    1 / 2,35 * 2,2 = 0.936
    Add a gamma effect set at 0.936

  • I had to change to a new Apple MacBook Pro.  I deauthorized my old computer, authorized the new one and less than a quarter of my media shows up in the new computer.  Everything that was downloaded from a cd is missing.  Any help?

    I had to change to a new Apple MacBook Pro.  I deauthorized my old computer, authorized the new one and the only media that shows up are items with a cloud.  Everything that was downloaded from a cd, including personal movie files, are missing.  It's as if my former library is gone.  How can I find it again? Or is this just Apples way of screwing with me?

    No. Firewire and Ethernet are not the same. Ethernet would be used to connect the computers to your network. A Firewire cable is used to connect the computers directly. They are different ports.
    The above shows what an Ethernet port and a Firewire 400 port look like.
    These are the plugs used for FW800 on the left and FW400 on the right.

  • Creating Powershell script to run against Multiple XML Files: Correcting Nordic characters. Renaming only the files that were corrected.

    Greetings,
    I am new to powershell and scripting and would like to create a powershell script to do the following to XML files.
    I would like to change the data received in XML files that contains special Nordic characters: such as 
    ä, Ä, é, ö, Ö, ü, Ü, and ß respectfully.
    The file names that gets drop to me come in with the following naming convention: C54ABC_111120140500_1, C54ABC_111120140500_2, C54ABC_111120140500_3, C54ABC_111120140500_4 all the way to C54ABC_111120140500_12.
    By automating the script, I would like the script to look into a directory containing these files and access the data within it and change the the data that has the special characters to the English Dictionary character equivalent.
    e.g. ä for a, Ä for A, é for e, ö for o, Ö for O, ü for u, Ü for U, and ß for ss.
    Once that step is complete. I would like to rename the file from C54ABC_111120140500_1.xml to C54ABC_111120140500_1_rctf.xml (adding an additional 5 characters to the end of a file that was corrected) if the file did not need any correction then renaming is
    not needed.
    the working directory (Source and destination) will remain in the same location. e.g. C:\Temp\
    Currently I was able to come up with the following, however I am stuck when it comes to the renaming part since, it requires "IF and Else" statments .... I think.
    $Source = "C:\Temp"
    $Destination = "C:\Temp"
    $regex33 = "\*.xml"
    (Get-Content $regex33) |
    ForEach-Object {$_ -replace "ä", "a" -replace "Ä", "A" -replace "é", "e" -replace "ö", "o" -replace "Ö", "O" -replace "ü", "u" -replace "Ü", "U" -replace "ß", "ss"}
    #Rename-Item -NewName {$_.name -replace -whatif}
    Your Assistance and Expertise is greatly appreciated.
    Thank you in advance KC.

    You could try something like this.
    Let me know how you get on and if you've any questionds.

  • How can I go back the same song that was playing when I switched and watched a movie?

    How can I go back to the same song and place in the song that was playing when I started watching a movie?  I have over 6k songs and now my ipod always goes back to #1 even though I may have been listening to # 321.  How do I ever get to listen to all my songs.  Yes I have it on random but if I look at the songs I have played lots of them have played 15-20 times amd many more 6-8 times.  At this point I don't feel I will ever hear the latest songs I added. 
    Any help will be greately appreciated.  Also is it possible to do the same on the new ipod classic 160?

    One area that this appears is on Facebook where it lists the number of Recognized Devices. There are six devices which include iPad and iPhone. These items are grayed and you are unable to change. Also on my iphone it lists the computer name. This name is different from name of my computer. It's what I signed in as when I installed the Mountain Lion upgrade. I know I'm not doing a good job of explaining this. I have searched everywhere on my computer that I can think of and cannot locate where this is used. Any suggestions are appreciated.

    Hi ,
    I am trying to create a new web app using Central Administration in Sharepoint 2010 and getting an error "The password supplied with the username  was not correct. Verify that it was entered correctly and try again".
    I tried running this command also "stsadm -o updatefarmcredentials -userlogin <domain\username> -password <newpassword>" but when it got executed it showed me "Access Denied".
    What should i do ??
    Thanks in advance.

    HI,
    right click on command icon and click run as administrator then use above stsadm commend to update credential. If still you face same issue then try with powershell as mention in below link: (make sure that you open sharepoint powershell as run as administrator)

  • In the middle of my Aperture slide show the color set on the custom text has locked to an old color I was using and will not go to a new color (white)

    In the middle of creating my second Aperture slide show I find I cannot change the color of the text (even though I select it in selected slides & default slides and in various colors choices) to a new one. The first color that I was using keeps appearing. Where is the solution please ?

    I personally like to Crop, and then use PNG for my screen-caps. If I need more images, say to show other Palettes, etc., then I do one each for those shots.
    We see a lot of full-screen caps posted, where aggressive JPEG is used, and nothing can be read. That is especially true with images, like Adobe Encore's Flow-chart, where there is a lot of text and linking being shown.
    Just my personal preferences.

  • I moved my Backups.backupdb folder to a larger hard drive and the transfer went fine with the space taken was correct but when i open my Backups.backupdb folder and browse there is actually no folders or files, the folder shows 280gig used but empty?

    So i draged my time machine Backups.backupdb folder from my external hard drive to a larger external hard drive, the folder size was 280gig and took some time to transfer and once transfered i checked the size on the larger drive and the folder size was correct 280 gig. Job done i thought but the next day (stupidly after formating my oringinal drive) checked the Backups.backupdb i see that there is actually no folders or files in the Backups.backupdb??? when transfer the file it shows the 280 gig and names the files being tranfered but i just can't find them. Any clues how i can acces these files?
    Thank you in advance for any help and let me know if any specifics are needed

    That is not the proper way to do what you want. You need to use Disk Utility to clone the old backup drive to the new backup drive.
    Clone using Restore Option of Disk Utility
    Open Disk Utility from the Utilities folder.
    Select the destination volume from the left side list.
    Click on the Restore tab in the DU main window.
    Check the box labeled Erase destination.
    Select the destination volume from the left side list and drag it to the Destination entry field.
    Select the source volume from the left side list and drag it to the Source entry field.
    Double-check you got it right, then click on the Restore button.
    Destination means the new backup drive. Source means the old backup drive.

  • How do I edit a merged clip in Audition, that was created in premiere to correct the synchronisation, and have it all updated to the premiere clip?

    Hello,
    How do I edit a merged clip in Audition, that was created in premiere to correct the synchronisation, and have it all updated to the premiere clip?
    I have tried several tutorials but these either:
    - show correction in premiere sequence (which is not practical; given the huge number of files we have)
    - or show the editing in audition of a sequence, not the clip.
    We have started merging audio and video (removing the original audio during merge) but some of the merged clips are out of sync, so we need to correct manually, BUT we want to correct the merged clip, which may or may not end up being used, so we do not want to take it to the sequence as all we are doing is prepare the synced files for editing.
    Any idea how I can correct the synchronisation in Audition?, when I right click on clip and select "Edit in Adobe Audition" I get a list of files but not a multitrack session where I can see my video and audio tracks.

    if premiere pro doesn't sync your footage properly, and you have a huge number of files, you may want to look at pluraleyes.  there is a demo, and if it works properly, it would save you time to have it done right the first time, instead of tracking down random merged clips with bad sync.
    premiere will either export a complete sequence or "edit clip in audition". the edit clip will create a copy of the original audio and open that in audition. there is no dynamic link, its just an audio file open in two programs at the same time.  since there is no dynamic link, its not possible to bring merged clips into audition.
    Adobe Premiere Pro Help | Synchronizing audio and video with Merge Clips
    Once created, the merged clip cannot be re-synchronized, or adjusted. You must make a new merged clip.
    Merged clip audio results in mono track audio only.Final Cut Pro XML and AAF interchange formats are not supported.
    this doesn't give me much hope that audition or any other adobe program outside of premiere will help you fix the problem merged clips.
