Boris Crawl/ Roll Titles not smooth - Help anyone?

Does any of you FCP pros out there know how to get the roll or crawl titles to come out smooth?
I'm using the Boris Crawl in FCP 5.04 and I checked the deflicker option (not sure if that made matters better or worse... ?). The roll titles look fine on the computer monitor, but they look bad in the DVD version on my TV monitor. (at the moment I don't have a camera or another way of connecting the monitor directly to the computer). The crawl titles look bad in both places... a bit shaky and flickering, making it hard to read them.
Is there a better way? or is this the best FCP can put out?

Hi dndn,
I've been generally unhappy with credit scrolls in FCP over the years, so what I do when I have to create credit scrolls is make a 640x3000 JPG file in Photoshop and type my credits in there. Then I just use the motion controls in FCP to make it appear as if this image scrolls from -3000 through +3000. I never get any sort of pixelation or flicker, and I could swear it scrolls a little smoother than the scroll generator in Boris, LiveType or FCP. If you want to contact me I'll be glad to send you a template that you can look at. My e-mail is [email protected]

HT4528 iphone 4s will not charge, help anyone?

iphone 4s will not charge, help anyone?

If the iPhone doesn't charge when connected to the power adaptor and when connected to your computer after trying another USB cable to rule out a problem with the cable being used, more than likely the iPhone has a hardware problem with the battery or something else.
Make an appointment at an Apple Store if there is one nearby to confirm.

Scrolling through Camera roll is not smooth after iOS 5 update

Hi,
I have a little problem with my iPod touch 4th gen after the iOS 5 update - the scroll through Camera roll is not running smoothly.
When scrolling to earlier photos, it gets stuck for a second and then scrolls again, gets stuck and then scrolls.
It can get quite irritating when trying to view earlier photos....
I'd appreciate any help.
Thanks!
Cheers,
A

Well, at least those features work fine with mine.... I hope the bugs will be fixed soon!

Fonts in titles not smooth

When I design a title slide, the fonts look smooth. When click the Add button to apply the title, the fonts change to rough. What's going on?

definitely...this is absolutely true. Which is why:
If it's really important to me, I will make a post titles test export in full quality (nowadays called "share", but it's a dippy word for it) AND ALSO...if I am making the movie for a specific purpose, like for my webpage or for specifically putting on YouTube, I will export share a version of my movie in the same settings,size and all that I will ultimately use just to see how it will look. oh yeah, btw, crayon box blue looks bad too. kinda bleedy in smaller sizes. So you have to think-plan-do your projects. seems kind of strange to have to be so left brained in some circumstances where it was so right brained a conception, but this is definitely carefully considered left brained functions and you have to think with the software. Not just expect it to think for you. Though, I suspect that is where the new frontier of iMovie is actually going and I hate it. I like the right brain/left brain harmony of making of movie. It's fun to me.

GotoAndPlay is not smooth-help

hi all, im new at this so please excuse me if my problem is too simple to fix. I do have a client who is on a deadline tho.
I have imported a flv file made in after effects, plays smooth there no probs. I need it to resume playback at the end from frame 708. I have the following action placed on a second layer on a keyframe:
import flash.display.MovieClip;
this.gotoAndPlay(708);

you may be able to work around your problem but when you import video to the flash timeline, you lose a lot. relevant to your situation, i don't believe the video is tightly bound to the timeline. ie, the last image in the video may play before or after the last timeline frame plays.
to test, add a new layer. just above, what appears to be the last video frame, add a keyframe and attach:
trace(getTimer());
this should be the same frame you have your gotoAndPlay(708).
then in frame 708, attach:
trace(getTimer())

TS3276 my server went down and now my email is not working, can anyone help please?

My website server went down and now my email is not working (though the server is back up)
Does anyone know what I need to do?
I'm told by my website hosts that I need to 'reconfigure authentication" but I have no idea how to do this, they are now closed for the weekend and I need it fixed before Monday morning. Could anyone tell me where to find step by step instructions. I've tried but have made matters worse and the couple of mail accounts that WERE still receiving email are now also not.
Help please!

Hi Eyen80,
If you are having issues with your iPhone’s camera not functioning, you may want to troubleshoot using the steps in this article -
iPhone: Hardware troubleshooting
http://support.apple.com/kb/TS2802
Specifically -
Camera isn't functioning or has undesired image quality
If the screen shows a closed lens or black image, force quit the Camera app.
If you do not see the Camera app on the Home screen, try searching for it in Spotlight. If the camera does not show up in the search, check to make sure that Restrictions are not turned on by tappingSettings > General > Restrictions.
Ensure the camera lens is clean and free from any obstructions. Use a microfiber polishing cloth to clean the lens.
Cases can interfere with the camera and the flash. Try gently cleaning the lens with a clean dry cloth or removing the case if you see image or color-quality issues with photos.
Try turning iPhone off and then back on.
Tap to focus the camera on the subject. The image may pulse or briefly go in and out of focus as it adjusts.
Try to remain steady while focusing:
Still images: Remain steady while taking the picture. If you move too far in any direction, the camera automatically refocuses to the center.
Note: If you take a picture with iPhone turned sideways, it is automatically saved in landscape orientation.
Video: Adjust focus before you begin recording. You can also tap to readjust focus while recording. Exiting the Camera application while recording will stop recording and will save the video to the Camera Roll.
Note: Video-recording features are not available on original iPhone or iPhone 3G.
If your iPhone has a front and rear camera, try switching between them to verify if the issue persists on both.
Thanks for using Apple Support Communities.
Best,
Brett L

No second page in rolling title - need help with long title

I am creating my first rolling title in Premiere Pro v1.0.
I have read/watched the tutorials on creating a rolling title and have successfully created my own.
My problem is that I have several pages of prepared text that I want to have roll over the screen and I only can get the first page.
I have the text in Notepad, I copy it to the Clipboard using Control-A, Control-C.
I come into the Title Designer, select the Type Tool, and press Control-V. The first page of the text is inserted into the Area Type box.
I then save the work and preview the results, but I am only getting the roll of the text for the first page.
Can someone please point out to me what I am doing wrong or direct me to some documentation/tutorial that shows how to insert a long amount of text into the Title Designer and have it roll?
Thanks

I currently do not have Photoshop available to me and I was really hoping for a simpler method to do this.
That is why I mentioned method #2. It relies totally on Titler. Other than doing X number of Titles, and then adjusting their timings and spacings with Motion>Position Keyframes, it takes all of about 5 mins. to do. You can first break your one very long Title into logical segments, and then still use Ctrl+c/Ctrl+v to make each Title. Note that you can get more text into a Title, than what you see in Titler. It does not have a "scrolling" feature, but using Ctrl+c/Ctrl+v, you really do not need to see everything, so long as you edited it in Word/whatever. I'm not sure of what the limit to what can actually fit onto one Title, before it truncates, but seem to recall about 32 lines working with 48 pt. san-serif type for me. Could be off a line, or two.
If you need more detail on the multiple-Title method, let me know. It is far simpler to do, than to type about. Also, if you are not yet comfortable with Motion>Position Keyfreame work, now is the perfect time to learn it, as you WILL embrace it. I do not think I have used either the Roll, or Crawl Preset in four years - so very little control. That's why I said you'd go crazy trying to use those for this task. If I had to do it with the Presets, I'd charge the client 3x, just for the aggravation of having to do so.
Good luck,
Hunt
If you have any questions on where to break your long credits, don't hesitate to send me the Word, txt, whatever file, and I'll look at it and make recs. for you. E-mail is listed in my profile.

Credit roll not smooth

I've been trying to make a credit roll, but it seems that I can't quite get it to look smooth. It looks fine in the Final Cut Pro output ProRes file, but it's after compression that seems to be the issue. The project was shot in 24P, but while experimenting with the credits only, I noticed I don't see the problem when the credits are rendered in 30P. I suspect it's the higher frame rate that smooths it out. I could make the credits separately and place them in a different asset, but that creates an undesirable pause of silence since there is an underscore that begins before the credits roll. This happens with the Final Cut as well as the Boris credit rolls.
Anybody experience this and have any suggestions?
Thanks
Larry

Of course blur is easier, but does it look better?
With that ugly math you can get really smooth results.
And I just found a perfect free plugin the other day (I admit I did not test it yet!) which gives the option to set the pixels per second:
http://alex4d.wordpress.com/2008/10/13/final-cut-pro-my-free-closing-credits-plu gin/
I'd give it a try!
The right amount of pixels per second depends on the format you're working in (or better: The frame rate).

My iphone is no longer working I have black screen with a picture of the itunes logo and a USB cable. When I try to connect my iphone to itunes the device is not detected, can anyone help me? I desperatley need my phone back

I have had a 3GS for 2+ years. After upgrading to IOS 4 (now 4.3.5) I began having problems. In the past week, my screen went to the itunes logo and USB cable twice -- unprovoked -- just found it sitting there like that! I connected to itunes and it did restore from a backup but it is a major inconvenience. I am also searching for answers, but better back-up regularly!

I have an iphone6. I am unsure whether to go from 8.1.3 operating system and switch to ICloud Drive or not? Has anyone done this? Is it awesome? I need to be able to access my resume from phone. I think this will help me achieve this.am i right?

I don't understand the language entirely on the help page. Anyone's straight forward and easy stepped advice would be much appreciated. I'm so frustrated and I need a job so badly! Drowning in debt. Any help appreciated!
Thanks,

Sometimes you have to reset the SMC two or three times for it to work, don't know why. I've seen that error message before and 100% of the time it was fixed with an SMC reset. I suppose it's possible that your keyboard or mouse IS drawing too much power, do you have access to another you could try?
