Border on transition

when i put a border on an iris transition, i cant see it while playing the transition in the timeline. i can only see the border if i stop on a still or render the clip. why is this?
thank you

I believe the default setting for the border is 0. Did you change the default? If so, what value did you enter?
Also, if you have "Edge Feather" checked, you probably won't see the border at all.

Transition Problems in Full Screen View

Hi.
I've created a Powerpoint presentation on the Bayeux Tapestry which I now want to convert to a PDF document so that I can add multimedia.
My Powerpoint presentation features photographs of a section the tapestry with each photograph placed on a separate slide. I've used the Powerpoint 'push left' transition to create a panoramic effect which creates the illusion that the tapestry is being scrolled from right to left as the viewer clicks through the presentation. It all works very well in Powerpoint as the slides butt up against each other in transition without any 'seam' between them.
I thought I could simply replicate the effect in Acrobat 9 by converting the presentation to PDF and selecting the 'push left' transition from Advance/Document Processing options then launching the document in full screen view. However, I've found that using a push left transition in Acrobat creates wacking great gaps between the pages as they scroll right to left: this absolutely ruins the whole effect.
As you can probably tell, I'm pretty much a newbie with Acrobat 9 (but not with other Adobe applications) and I can't work out for the life of me how to get around this problem. Is there someting simple that I'm overlooking on the full screen view options or perhaps in the Powerpoint conversion settings or do I have to start adjusting resolutions etc? Or maybe it's just the nature ofthe beast (do hope not)?
I'd be very grateful for any enlightenment or advice.
PS: Forgot to mention the Powerpoint was created in default landscape layout and hence so is the PDF.

Do you have the PDF version to fill the full screen and not leave borders? If you print to PDF (not create PDF), then a margin is added by default (as when you print to paper). The border can be reduced to 0, but that is an extra step with the print. As I recall, the PDF Maker (create PDF) does not include the margins. Thus the whole margin bit may be the issue.

Sidebar moving over right border of website and outside of main container

Hi
I'm doing a website and have a question.
I have a left nav bar, a fluid center column and an absolute positioned right sidebar.
The sidebar is set to clear left and float right.
However the sidebar moves over to the right and extends past the right border on some browsers.
It moves out of the main container and I would like it to remain within it.
Does anyone know how I can fix it so that the sidebar stays within the white area and does not move to the right?
Thanks for your help!!!!
Here is a screen shot
When the browser window gets a little smaller the sidebar goes back to where I want it.
Here is a link to my test page online:

Absolute positioning will always cause you problems so it's best to avoid unless absolutely necessary.
Having said that, your layout issues were a straight-forward fix. Modify your style sheet with the below sections and and it should be ok. You might need to modify your CSS for smaller screens as once you reduce the browser window to about 500px, the right sidebar disappears. Something to be aware of.
.sidebar1 {
    float: left;
    width: 20%;
    padding-bottom: 10px;

EDIT:// I meant to say, you should probably spend some time tidying up your CSS as they are not in any obvious order and can get confusing with multiple styles for the same element. Having a clean and easy to understand CSS sheet makes it easier for you to figure out what is wrong. Will help you enormously in the long run.

Thin Black Border on Video in Interactive PDF (Adobe Acrobat 8 Professional)

Hi
I am having issues with embedded video in an interactive pdf (currently using Adobe Acrobat 8 Professional).
I have placed my media mp4 file in the pdf. I would like the video to have no border, so I proceeded to Multimedia Properties to edit the Appearance and set the Border Type to Invisible Rectangle. I also editted the Playback settings for the Rendition to keep the player open "Forever once activated." But every time I view pages in my interactive pdf with video there is still a thin black border surrounding the videos on initial play. If I have already viewed the video and come back to the page, the border dissapears.
Is there a way to ensure the thin black border/outline never appears in the pdf, even when first opening and viewing the file? Does this have to do with the Acrobat 8 in particular? Please let me know if you are also encountering this problem or have a solution.

Thank you so much for your help.
I am now working in Adobe Acrobat X Pro and have embedded the same video. The borders have disappeared.
I have set the video activation settings to enable when "The page containing the content is opened". When the page is opened, I am now seeing a grey box (the size of the video) flash before the video is played. Do you know of a way to not have the grey box appear before the video plays? Or is there even a way to edit the color of this box so it is a less noticeable transition in my documet? I assume this is some sort of default setting to be displayed when the video loads. Any suggestions regarding this issue would be greatly appreciated.

Crystal Report Viewer and border problems

Post Author: catalinandrei00
CA Forum: Deployment
Hello there, I've created an report and I've added borders for the fields in the report (Right click on the field > Format Object -> Border -> Choose for the 4 margins the line-style single). The report is correctly exported to different formats (.doc, .pdf, .xls). My problem is that when I display the report in an ASP.NET 2.0 page using an Crystal Report Viewer the report is correctly shown but the borders don't appear.My question is why the borders don't appear in the Crystal Report Viewer? Thanks for helping for solving this issue. It's very important.Catalin

Hello catalinandrei00
I have the exact opposite problem as yours.
I am using integrated crystal reports with Visual Studio 2005 and I have put a Crystal Viewer on a web page.
First I also had the same problem like yours and then in one of the post i found a solution for this. Hope it will work for you too. here it is :-
Just remove the following line from your aspx page.
<!DOCTYPE html PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD XHTML 1.0 Transitional//EN" "http://www.w3.org/TR/xhtml1/DTD/xhtml1-transitional.dtd">
Now regarding my problem. My problems is that now i can view the borders and everything correctly in the viewer but when i try to print the report it automatically exports to Adobe first and BAM!!! the format disappears. Though if i export to word Doc format it export perfectly fine with all the borders and everything
I hope some other reader will come to my rescue...pls HELP.

THanks,
Melanie

i know im a bit late on responding but i think what you need to do mshef534 is to put the code a img {border: 0px;} within the image ref itself i.e.
<a href="http://www.facebook.com/search/results.php?q=Samuel+Emerton&init=public#!/profile.php?id=1 00000235960932"target="_blank"><img src="facebook.png" width="43" height="43" a img {border: 0px;}/> and that should do it this worked for me happy htmling

Clock Wipe Border Issue

Does anyone have a fix for clock wipe borders that vary in thickness during the transition? I am editing a video using many clock wipes. In some sequences, the border thickness of the moving blade remains constant. In other sequences, the moving blade varies in thickness as it is moving through the transition.
Any help appreciated.

You could use a variable to keep track of the growing rotation value rather than the _rotation value itself. Each time you change the _rotation, you change that variable by the same amont, and use that variable for your conditional test rather than the actual rotation value.
stop();
_root.stopBtn._visible = false;
_root.stopTxt._visible = false;
myTimer = setInterval(play, 1000);
var secondCount = 0;
function wait() {
    mySeconds++;
    _root.mySecondHand._rotation += 1;
     secondCount += 1;
    _root.myMinuteHand._rotation += 30; // one fast minute hand
    _root.myMilliSeconds._rotation += 1; // one slow msec hand
    if (secondCount == 3600) {
        _root.clearInterval(myTimer);
Button:
on (release) {
    clearInterval(myTimer);
    myTimer = setInterval(wait, 101);

A Mercury linear color delimma... bad transitions vs. bad animation

Am I missing something here? I'm writing this as sort of a PSA... if you aren't aware of all sides of this issue, I hope you read the second half because you may not realize it's affecting you, too.
When I enable CUDA or Maximum Render Quality, I basically can't use any one-sided transitions. They look wrong and "pop" at the ends.
Apparently, Adobe forgot to rewrite any of their transitions for a linear color space, so Mercury+CUDA basically "breaks" all the transitions that ship with CS5, causing them to render differently than they do in their originally intended gamma of 1.8. I've heard they've added a linear-compatible transition into CS5.5 called "Film dissolve", but there aren't any in CS5. This seems like a pretty huge oversight... I'm surprised they still haven't fixed it in a patch to the original CS5.
So why not just turn off Maximum Render Quality and CUDA during output?
Well, there's another big problem.
If you do any kind of stills animation a la "the Ken Burns Effect" in Premiere, you'll quickly find Premiere leaves a "pixel shimmer" or "ripple" effect across the animation because it is using substandard methods to antialias motion. Looks like a cheap NLE from 2002.
So, you're left to choose... do you want bad one-sided dissolves or bad animation? Personally, I believe a good NLE should not leave identifiable footprints in the edit. If you happen to have have *both* in a Premiere CS5 timeline and it goes out on TV, I'll be able to "out" your NLE as Premiere because no matter which output setting you choose, one or the other problem will show up.
SOLUTION 1: Use AE. The simplest solution is probably to avoid Maximum Render quality and avoid keyframing any Motion parameters. Do it all in After Effects.
SOLUTION 2: Use CS4. It may be possible to edit your sequence with all the benefits of MPE and CUDA, and then send your timeline back to Premiere CS4 and have Premiere/Encoder CS4 render it at max quality. I haven't tested this yet, but I'm intrigued by this possibility. I'll try it soon and report back.
Hopefully I am missing something here. I'm an Avid/FCP/AE guy who is still relatively new to Premiere.
P.S. A second issue is lower thirds and alpha graphics. I bet you made all of yours in After Effects with a 1.8 gamma, didn't you? As far as I know, Premiere does not ship with any video effects that easily control the gamma curve of the alpha channel, so there's no quick fix for all of your currently rendered transparent graphics.

I know if I use the MPE in GPU mode transitions between two PIPs will get a funny black border aroud the PIP. CUDA can do some funny things when transitions and filters that do not have CUDA support are used with GPU enabled. I can only hope Adobe is getting ready to switch to Open CL or Open GL because there are a few glitches with Nvidia's CUDA technology. For Quality I almost think CS 4 was better but you don't get the same amount of realtime. I hope PP CS 6.0 is true broadcast quality instead of just realtime previews. Edius can do it with out the use of GPU acceleration. I think CUDA is a step in the right direction but I also think it needs a bit more time to mature.

Adding background and border with dropshadow to website

Hi all,
I have been working on my first website ever and I am sure I made several mistakes.
I want to improve the look now and would like to add a gradient background (dark blue to light blue). To set the content apart from this I would like to add a white border around it with a dropshadow. I can see how to add the background, but I cannot figure out the border and dropshadow. Can anyone help? Below is the code.
Thank you so much in advance—I am struggeling....

Border line in all jpgs, help

Hi I'm new here and this is my first post ever.
I had created a couple of sites with dreamweaver CS3. And around all my jpgs with links, when I press to go to the link, a line (frame) appears around the file.
I work a lot with jpgs in web design. The strange thing is that this line appears in pc and not in mac.
Any idea of what to change on the code to make the line dissapear?
Thank you very much for your help.
Tintin

Hey Hans, thanks for your answer!
Should I do it in all the html pages of the web site?
And where where should I write it?
Let´s say I have this code:

This isn't a Dreamweaver question, it's a basic HTML
question. The short
answer:

The slightly longer answer:
Get a basic HTML and CSS book. Sit down with it and a text
editor and
build a few pages by hand, until you are at least somewhat
familiar with
HTML and CSS. THEN use DW. I recommend Elizabeth Castro,

Border on Video in iBooks

Hi guys,
I noticed there is a slight light grey border around the edges of my videos when I play it on my iPad. The border is on the edges of the video itself and not the actual box/wrapper the video is going into. I ensured the video has no border when exporting it. I go between two video formats - .mp4 and .mov and both videos has the border.
Any ideas?
Thanks!

Thank you so much for your help.
I am now working in Adobe Acrobat X Pro and have embedded the same video. The borders have disappeared.
I have set the video activation settings to enable when "The page containing the content is opened". When the page is opened, I am now seeing a grey box (the size of the video) flash before the video is played. Do you know of a way to not have the grey box appear before the video plays? Or is there even a way to edit the color of this box so it is a less noticeable transition in my documet? I assume this is some sort of default setting to be displayed when the video loads. Any suggestions regarding this issue would be greatly appreciated.

Css transitions in safari

I recently added some CSS transistions to my pages that work correctly on I.E., Chrome, Firefox, but tried to open my site on an Apple I-Pad running Safari and they just sit there.
Do I need to alter my code in some way so Safari can handle them ???   Thanks in advance. Pat

As it turns out, we're both wrong, after some extensive testing to prove to myself that I wasn't crazy, I've found the :focus pseudo selector added to a class that is directly styling a <div> doesn't work on Mobile Safari at all (at least in iOS 6.x). Tap all you like on the <div>, it doesn't activate the :focus class.
It works by default in IE, it will not work in FF, Safari, Chrome or Opera without the tabindex attribute added to the <div>.
Javascript is the way to go.
Here's my test page if you don't believe me. I'm sure there is a way to make it work by changing the selectors or where the styles are applied, however I was sticking to the OP site's basic structure by directly styling the <div> tags with the :focus (replacing :hover)...
<!DOCTYPE html>
<html lang="en">
<head>
<meta charset="utf-8" />
<title>Tabindex Test</title>
<style type="text/css">
.trans {
    display:block;
    width:100px;
    height:20px;
    text-decoration:none;
    overflow:hidden;
    border:1px solid blue;
    cursor:pointer;
    -webkit-transition: all 2s;
    transition: all 2s;
.trans:focus {
    height:100px;
    border:1px solid red;
</style>
</head>
<body>
<div class="trans">doesn't work</div>
<div class="trans">.trans class</div>
<div class="trans">no tabindex</div>
<p> </p>
<div tabindex="1" class="trans"><p>these</p><p>work</p></div>
<div tabindex="2" class="trans"><p>same</p><p>class</p></div>
<div tabindex="3" class="trans"><p>with</p><p>tabindex</p></div>

<a href="#" class="trans">these</a>

Export from FCE to iDVD, results in black border around movie

Here is the problem....
I have edited a movie in FCE where all of the footage is 1440 x 1080
I export it using: File -> Export... QuickTime movie
I choose "self contained" movie and "audio/video", plus "chapter markers" in the pop up menu.
I then take this into iDVD amd all looks ok in the preview, but once burnt to DVD, there is a large black border around the entire movie. It is almost like it is a smaller movie which does not fill the screen correctly.
Any idea why this happens and how to overcome this. When I lok at the exported movie from FCE- it is 720-x576 and not the full size- is this the problem?
Thanks for any tips.

Hi
Is it widescreen ?
Did You in Your browser window set sequence and material to anamorphous. To me it was a revelation that the Browser window was exstendably to the right with lot's of columns - and one of them was Anamorphous.
Did you start a WideScreen project in iDVD - First window that opens after You clicked Start a New iDVD project (top button). At bottom this new window You set 4:3 (SD format) or 16:9 for WideScreen.
In iDVD You also need to go up to Project and down to Projectinfo
then set 16:9 here TOOO !
Proportion - Change it to 16:9
When I go from FinalCut to iDVD - I do
FCE/P to iDVD
Several things
• How to go from FCE/P to iDVD
• Free space on Start-up hard disk
• Encoding
• Brand and type of DVDs used
• Burn speed set
• iDVD BUG
• Chapters
How to go from FCE/P to iDVD I do
• Disable Screen and Energy saver
• IMPORTANT --> FIRST in FinalCut - Mix Down Audio under Sequence Menu / Render Only / Mix-down
• Export out as a QuickTime .mov file
• Select with Mark - Chapter Mark
• Not as Self-Contained (not important but saves time and space)
• NO QUICKTIME CONVERSION (IMPORTANT)
This QT.mov file I import into iDVD from within iDVD.
Free space on Start-up hard disk
I set a minimum of 25GB (for Mac OS and iDVDs temp files)
Encoding
• I use Pro Quality encoding
Brand and type of DVDs used ( Important as cheap brands DO NOT WORK )
• I use Verbatim
• I use DVD-R
Burn speed set (IMPORTANT)
• I set down this to x4 (or x1)
iDVD BUG
• One can not go back to movie-project for any alterations and then go back to
the iDVD project. It will notice and ask You to either Up-date or Cancel. Neither
of them will work.
Medicine - Start a brand new iDVD project.
Use of Chapters
• I only use a to z and 0 to 9 in naming them. NO other symbol/letter !
• NO Chapter-mark at very beginning - iDVD NEEDS TO set this by it self
• No Chapter marks in or within two seconds from a transition
(Way around this last one - Export movie as QT full quality and NO Chapter marks
Import this into a new Movie-project and now You are free to set C-Ms where You want
them except at very beginning - still)
Material used to build movie
• video - I use streamingDV (or convert all other to this e.g. .mp4, .avi, .wmv etc)
• audio - I use .aiff 16-bit 48kHz or from Audio-CD (44.1kHz) - no .mp3 or direct from iTunes
• photos - I use .jpg - no .bmp etc
Problems - then Trash iDVD pref. file and run Repair Permissions - and have a re-try.
from post ??
May not be relevant, but I had the same problem with iDVD, where burned DVDs showed a green screen. It was cured by quitting Quicksilver and Quickeys as well as disabling sleep and screen-saving
