Blues "flashes" in .mov after rendering in iphoto 6

I recently upgraded iphoto 6 when prompted, and have rendered the first .mov from a slideshow since the upgrade. Upon playback, there are blue flashes that appear randomly throughout. I have re-rendered, deleted and recreated the slideshow, run a disk utility, etc., but the blue flashes still appear. This never happened before I upgraded, and I have done many slideshows. I got a new monitor, which is the only other variable. What is the problem? Help!

Jerky and abrupt frame movement after rendering (Clip)

Hello,
Would anybody happen to know what's the reason of jerky and abrupt frame movement after rendering?
Please go to the link http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ANTpUzk3jYY and watch the clip.
- I have a 4Core CPU (Intel i7)
- Graphic Card: Quadro FX 4800 (with the latest 64-bit drivers installed)
- The most recent version of Elemental Accelerator (with the latest drivers installed)
- Adobe After Effects CS4, Adobe Premiere PRO CS4.2
- Adobe Photoshop CS4 Extended
- Windows 7 64-bit
- RAM memory: 12GB
Do you know why does this happen?
Thank you!!
Giannis

I use a Full HD 1080i SONY Semi professional cam (2,930.00 $). I use AVCHD file format which is accepted by premiere and after effects. I could convert it but I would not like to spend time since this kind of format is accepted by the software.
I don't have these problems all the time. Eventually I managed to export the clip properly. I think it has to do with temporal memory. I don't know. I have to check all the memory data for best peformance and best rendering. I think I have already done this but I will dig a little deeper in this..

After Effects change size of the Movie after rendering mp4

Hi,
I created a new composition and wanted to render it as an mp4 file. The composition has a size of 1500px x 1000px, after rendering, the mp4 file has a size of 750px x 576px - everthing is distorted. I don't know what happened, because everything was prechecked because the size matters.
Is someone know what happend and what I can do, to prevent such a mistake? (it is my first After Effects project ever - I'm a nube)
Thank you Dan

mp4 is a compression format based on specific blocks of pixels and the legal sizes are set by the codec, there is nothing you can do except pick another codec if you must have 1500 X 1000 as a final size. Why did you pick that size? If you must deliver an mp4 then you should be working with standard sizes for your compositions and they should be square pixels... Always square pixels for mp4.

Stretched movie after rendering in H.264

Hi All,
My composition size is 640x380. I render it in H.264 format and the rendered movie is somewhat stretched with black bands on the top and the bottom.If I select .avi format, it renders fine. What am I doing wrong? should I change pixel aspect ration to 16x9 in H.264 format settings or keep it the same as in composition settings (square pixels)?
Thanks!

> My composition size is 640x380.
That's a very strange set of frame dimensions.
> I render it in H.264 format and the rendered movie is somewhat
stretched with black bands on the top and the bottom.
The H.264 format only permits a limited, constrained set of frame sizes. In After Effects CS4, these constraints were communicated in the Comments field of the H.264 Export Settings dialog box. In After Effects CS5, if your settings don't match one of the sets of settings allowed by the H.264 specification, then a warning icon in the Output Module Settings dialog box appears, and After Effects tells you what it's going to do to make the video fit.

Titles & Graphics Move after rendering

I am new to Adobe Premiere Elements 9, and seem to have random issues on video's, which do not happen all the time.
In the first screenshot from the first video below, You can see the logo,fade and name are all lined up properly
After the video renders, regardless of the format, I end up with something like below. I am not sure why the text shifts outside of the green bar from where it was originally placed.
Any suggestions or insight as to why this happens?
Thanks

Welcome to the forum.
I have seen similar, where the Project's Preset did not match the Source Footage (the Video Clips), and things get mis-aligned.
Titles are dependent on the Project Preset for things like Frame Size and PAR (Pixel Aspect Ratio).
Check your Project Preset settings for all attributes vs the Source Footage, just to get that out of the way.
Next, if one has done any animation on the Title (Titles in your case probably), I would look closely at the Animation Presets, if used, or the animation Keyframes, if one did not use an Animation Preset.
Can you also include a screen-cap of the portion of the Timeline, where your Title/Titles appear? I would actually do two, where one would be with the Text Title Selected, and the Effects Control Panel (Edit Effects with a Clip Selected will open that), and the fixed Effect>Motion twirled open. The second would be with the Shape Title Selected and again, the Effects Control Panel open to Effect>Motion.
If you did not manually animate the Titles, then please list the exact steps and settings that you used, plus a description of the Title/Titles.
Thanks for the info and good luck,
Hunt

IMac Bondi Blue flashes folder icon after OS X freeze

I have a problem with one of my iMacs. Just this morning, I used my iMac Bondi Blue with 256 megs of RAM, 20GB HD, and and with OS X Panther 10.3.9 installed. I was copying some files off of a thumbdrive, then all of a sudden, the mouse cursor turned into a "pinwheel" saying that it was busy, but I couldn't click, or open anything. The mouse could move, but it was not doing anything. I waited for about three minutes and turned it off buy unplugging it and plugging it back in. I turned it on, and all I got when I did was the folder icon with the Finder on it switching to a question mark. Any ideas?

Use your OS CD. Boot from it and see if the Disk Utility can find the hard drive.
What you describe is pretty typical of a hard drive failure. The read/write arm seizes up and the drive ist kaput, just like that!
If you can see the drive with the utility, you may need to reinstall the OS (Archive and Install).

Premiere Degrading Quality (after rendering) of Animation Codec mov's and 4444 Codec mov's, which were made from SWF files, originally exported out of After Effects

I am making a cartoon, which was created in FLASH,
Then the SWF's were put into After Effects and exported out as MOV's. (I've tried both AppleProRes4444 and Animation codecs).
Then I put those Mov's into Premiere. Everything looks crisp until I render. Once rendering is done, the video quality degrades. Here's a screen shot of Premiere:
On the left is the source MOV (exported from AE), on the right is the timeline viewer (after rendering). The quality on the right is degraded. Help?
If I use MP4 versions, exported out of Flash, through Media encoder, quality is not degraded.
(Read on for additional info)
It was easy and quick to create my MOV's out of AE, which is why I did it this way. I'm exporting to MOV's so I can edit quicker in Premiere. I find editing to sound in AE really difficult, and I don't edit in Flash (employees provide SWF files to me).
Here is sequence settings in Premiere (these setting were created by dragging an MOV into the sequence and choosing "change settings" to match clip settings.
Help? Please?

After rendering a movie, the DVD project screen doesn't display

Q. After rendering a movie, my DVD project screen won't display?

Hi and welcome to the forums!
Sorry to hear about your mishap.
Do you have a backup using desktop manager? If so, your data is in there. Had you recently sync'd with outlook?
Did water get into your BB? If so, place your BB in an open container of UNCOOKED white rice and set in a warm place for a few days. Rice should absorb the water.
Let us know!

Hey, need help concerning movie quality after rendering;

I'm working with PE7 and Windows XP. I try to insert to my movie vob file (decrypted from my DVD) wchich quality is really perfect what I can see it on any player. As soon as I import this file to PE7 the quality, even after rendering, is terrible low . I mean it is not "smooth" and you can see many single pixels on the monitor. Interesting is: some parts of file is good as oryginal some bad with pixels. Where is a problem: settings, hardware or may be something different ??

PiSzcze
Have you saved the VOBs ripped from your DVD-VIDEO and saved them to your computer hard drive and then are bringing them into Premiere Elements Get Media/Files and Folders? Or, are you following the recommended procedure of placing the DVD-VIDEO DVD disc in the DVD burner drive tray and using Premiere Elements Get Media/"DVD (Camcorder or PC DVD Drive") and the Media Downloader to do the job?
Either way, some people get excellent results. Others do not. For those do not, the remedy is converting the VOBs to DV AVI with the free download MPEG Streamclip
http://www.squared5.com/
and then bring the DV AVI version into Premiere Elements via its Get Media/Files and Folders.
Have we determined that your Premiere Elements project preset (new project dialog) = NTSC DV Standard or Widescreen or the PAL counterpart? And, have we determined that you export will be as NTSC Standard or Widescreen or its PAL counterpart?
The answer is 99.99999999% in that MPEG Streamclip software conversion.

IPhoto image deleted after rendering

I've just upgraded to iMovie HD 6.03. I have the latest version of Quicktime installed and the latest version of OSX installed.
When importing a photo from iPhoto into iMovie - using the Ken Burns effect - the photo goes black after rendering. Non-Ken Burns version goes to iMovie trash.
I've deleted the preferences file, ran disk permissions utilities and it still doesn't work. I get no errors related to graphics cards. This capability worked fine in prior versions of iMovie.
Any additional suggestions?
iMac Mac OS X (10.4.8) 768MB SDRAM

It's a bug. As you say, when we import a photo with the Ken Burn checkbox ON, iMovie puts its copy of the source image in the iMovie Trash. If we empty the Trash the image is discarded, making it impossible to Update the clip later.

IDVD crash after rendering for 1 movie

I created several DVD so far it was perfect. I am using the same method and format or codec that I was using for all previous movies. This one seems perfect within iDVD but when I try to burn disk image it quits unexpectedly after rendering the project. All the files are stored onto an external firewire HD like the other movies. At this point I have rebuilt the movie from scratch, rebuild the iDVD project from scratch and I don't know where to go anymore. This is what I have in the log file:
Exception Type: EXCBADACCESS (SIGSEGV)
Exception Codes: KERNINVALIDADDRESS at 0x000000001e73f014
Crashed Thread: 29
Could anyone please help

What worked for me was to copy the iDVD project + assets to the local harddrive. Then it would sucesfully render (in the background) and was I able to save a disk image (on the firewire harddisk, because of lack of disk space!). So it seems FireWire related. Possibly a bug that will be fixed in the much anticipated OS X 10.5.3 update. I will do some more tests, with other harddisks, connecting with FW 400 and USB 2. Or Startup from a OS on the external FW drive.
I'm not surprised FW400 is slightly more stable but besides that it is always better to have your largest and faster HD as your primary boot volume since this is the drive that will do most of the rendering and encoding for iDvd and /or DVDSP.
I was trying to explain this on an earlier post to another forum member. Not sure if you happened to read it but the link is here:

Movie flickers after rendering

Hey fellows,
after rendering my graded clips flicker in all formats even as animation sequenz. It seem's that every half-frame is replaced by black frame. Where in the settings or output-settings could I combine the half-frames?

Help after rendering when I'm mastering a small video segment is duplicated elsewhere in the timeline, apparently I do some movement

help after rendering when I'm mastering a small video segment is duplicated elsewhere in the timeline, apparently I do some movement

Shane is trying to find out if you're working with material that's not in a fcp friendly format, like h264. It's also possible that your sequence is corrupt. Create a new sequence with the same settings, make the old sequence active, select all (command-a) copy (command-c), make the new sequence active and paste (command-v)

After rendering my film is zoomed in.

When editing a short film I can see the whole screen frames of my videos. But after rendering the film it is zoomed in about 25% so that I cant see the whole thing. How do I fix this problem. I have rendered many films but this is the first time this has happened to me.

Coco Biggs
Thanks for the reply with some details. Just a few more details please.
From what you wrote, your export setting is
Publish+Share
Computer
Adobe Flash Video
with the export preset of F4V - HD 1080p (Flash 9 and higher)
I get the impression that you are using the preset as is with no adjustments under the Advanced Button of the preset. If so, then you are probably using a frame rate designed as "Same As Source". Don't. Go under the Advanced Button/Video Tab and change that to the specific frame rate of your video source which should be 29.97, 25, or 23.976 progressive frames per second. That Same As Source does not always function as expected and I do not want to include that as a possible variable even though I do not believe at this point that is at the core of your issue.
That should cover the export angle on this. Now onto to the import of your source video.
From what I have read of the video properties of your Canon camera, you are probably recording
1920 x 1080 @ 29.97, 25, or 23.976 progressive frames per second? This would be an AVCHD.mov file. So, the question becomes what are you or the project setting as the project preset for this project. This project preset in the new project dialog should match the properties of the source video. Do they?
As an example, if you are recording 1920 x 1080 @ 29.97 progressive frames per second, is the project preset set to
NTSC
DSLR
1080p
DSLR 1080p30 @ 29.97
If you are letting the project do the project preset setting, then determine what the program has set via Edit Menu/Project Setting/General. What do you see there grayed out or not, especially Editing Mode, Timebase, and Frame Size. In this example, Editing Mode = DSLR, Timebase = 29.97 frames per second, and Frame Size = 1920 x 1080.
Next, on the end product that you have now which appears to be zoomed, what player are you using for the play back?
And, can you confirm the properties of this end product with a video properties reader such as MediaInfo?
Please review. The above Q&A should to point to the core of the problem.
Please do not hesitate to ask for clarification on anything that I have written. If you are letting the project set the project preset and it is doing it incorrectly next I will detail how you set the project preset manually yourself.
Thank you.

I am trying to move my wife's iPhoto '08 library to my new iMac for iPhoto '11.

I am trying to move my wife's iPhoto (2007) library on a Macbook to my new iMac for iPhoto '11. First, when I opened iPhoto on the iMac it asked me to create a library, which I did. Then I imported her photos via a wireless network to my "new" library. However, when it finally finished importing, it had imported 3 copies of each photo from her library. I deleted the "new" library and started over.
Second, I opened iPhoto on the iMac and chose to use "other library." I chose my wife's shared iPhoto library and it began transferring the photos to the new iMac (or so I thought). This worked beautifully as it only brought over single photos and not 3 copies like discussed above. After editing the new library and adding some photos from an old PC, I shut down iPhoto. A few hours later I tried to open iPhoto on the iMac and it gave me the opening screen again with choices to create a new library or use a different library. As it turns out, my wife's Macbook and been disconneted from our wireless network. I was able to figure out that that unless my wife's Macbook is connected to the network then I cannot access the iPhoto library on my iMac. I was under the impression that I had copied her library to my computer and that the photo files were now on the hard drive of the iMac. So when her computer is offline I can no longer access the imported library. I want her library to stay on the iMac as we plan to sell her Macbook. As you now know, we cannot access her iPhoto library on the Macbook since she is running an older version of iPhoto.
So, what I would like to do is to completely transfer the photos from her Macbook to my new iMac and be able to access them on the iMac regardless of whether she is on the network or not because we plan to sell her Macbook to a friend. Thank you for any help you can provide.

To move an iPhoto Library to a new machine:
Link the two Macs together: there are several ways to do this: Wireless Network,Firewire Target Disk Mode, Ethernet, or even just copy the Library to an external HD and then on to the new machine...
But however you do choose to link the two machines...
Simply copy the iPhoto Library from the Pictures Folder on the old Machine to the Pictures Folder on the new Machine.
Then hold down the option (or alt) key key and launch iPhoto. From the resulting menu select 'Choose Library'
and select the Library that you moved. That's it.
This moves photos, events, albums, books, keywords, slideshows and everything else.
Your first option didn't work because you imported one Library to another. Every version and thumbnail is imported like a distinct photo, you lose all your Albums, Keywords etc., the link between Original and Previews is destroyed, the non-destructive editing feature is ruined and so on. In summary: it's mess.
Your second option didn't work because you simply referenced her library on the old machine.
Regards
TD
