Bouncing  and stretching texts

Hello all -
I am doing multimedia edits using photos, video and texts that I generate using the typewriter function in Final Cut Pro.
No matter what format I compress these projects into - HD264, MPEG4, Apple Animation, or Flash -- the texts always stretch and bounce, especially where I have put dissolves.
It was suggested to me that this may have something to do with size ratios, rather than compression issues.
Any ideas how to STOP my texts from bouncing?
Many thanks - MP Nunan

Not two familiar with FCP, however, I am a video editor and motion graphics guy by trade.
Without seeing it I can only guess at a possible cause.
NTSC video uses a frame size of 720x480 using "non-square" pixels (4x3 video uses a .9 pixel aspect, and widescreen uses a 1.2 pixel aspect). Computers use square pixels. So an square pixel equivalent of NTSC video would be 720x540 or 640x480. 640x480 being a pretty common export size for computer full size video or 320x240 and 160x120 being common for web video.
Anyway, the reason this is important is that since you are mixing various different sources together you are dealing with different pixel aspect ratios...mixing pixel aspect ratios without accounting for it can stretch and distort various parts of the video.
In most cases editing software and motion graphics applications can accommodate various pixels aspects, but only if it knows what it is dealing with. Often when importing graphics you may need to tell the software that the graphic you are importing is using square or non-square pixels.
Depending on how you set up your FCP project, it also has to create pieces of video to make your text and transitions, it will be creating these using a specific pixel aspect (in NTSC video project this will be non-square). I would assume, since I've seen this on other editing software, that when dealing with two different sources using different pixel aspect ratios, the software has to pick one when creating the transitions and other things, causing those areas to stretch or seem to bounce when it goes from one area to the next.

  • Bouncing and shaking text from Foo Fighters Sonic Highways documentaries in after effects

    If anyone has seen the  current Foo Fighters documentaries Sonic Highways they will have enjoyed the shaking lyric text on the songs at the end of the documentaries. Was wondering if someone could let me know what this text effect is called and direct me to a tutorial on how to achieve this look please. I am not quite sure if its a camera shake effect or something one has too composite with key frames.   The link below should illustrate what I mean at 3'19" Thanks all

  • Lines over images and around text in Captivate SWF file

    My project works & views fine in captivate and when published, it views fine on my mac - through flash player and browsers. But when I send a swf file to the client to view they see odd lines above and below images.
    But they dont see the lines when they view the htm file within a browser - then it views fine.
    The lines only appear when there's text over an image.
    Screen shots attached.
    My captivate project was created by importing a Powerpoint document, with images and text on each slide.
    I've changed the optimisation / slide quality through prefrences and on each slide to the highest quality.
    I've also un-selected the advanced slide compression.
    Is there another thing I can try to iron out these lines?
    Some of the images within Powerpoint are stretched, would this cause the lines?
    Is it a flash player issue?
    Or a zooming issue?
    Any help is much appreciated!

    Thanks Lilybiri,
    I am a new user & just finding my way
    I understand how to publish and how Captivate creates a zipped file with a SWF, HTML, JS and CSS files etc. (Im using Captivate 7). 
    How do you send Captivate projects to clients for review / approval before you supply them with the whole project zipped file?
    So far I've been sending them the swf file to check. And have had troubles with them viewing the lines over images and around text. Even though I cant see the lines.
    I need the client to see what I'm seeing - a project without any lines.

  • The finder bounces and will not close or relaunch.

    When I power up, the icons in the bar at the bottom appear and the Finder icon starts to bounce. (No other icons appear on screen, just the ones in the bar at the bottom) Theer is a message box on the screen asking if I want to relaunch the finder, but it is flashing on and off and will not let me select it. I can open any program on the icon bar at the bottom and everything works fine, but the Finder icon and message box continue to bounce and flash on and off. When I close all programs, I have no drop down menus at the top. I have to open a program to get a drop down menu to shut the computer off. If I select Force Quit it will allow me to quit the program I am in, but the Finder just keeps flashing on and off. Solution?

    The Finder is crashing. Launch the Console application in either of the following ways:
    ☞ Enter the first few letters of its name into a Spotlight search. Select it in the results (it should be at the top.)
    ☞ If you’re running OS X 10.7 or later, open LaunchPad. Click Utilities, then Console in the page that opens.
    Step 1
    Enter the name of the crashed application or process in the Filter text field. Post the messages from the time of the last crash, if any — the text, please, not a screenshot.
    Important: Some private information, such as your name, may appear in the log. Edit it out by search-and-replace in a text editor before posting.
    Step 2
    Still in the Console window, look under User Diagnostic Reports for crash reports related to the process. The report name starts with the name of the crashed process, and ends with ".crash". Select the most recent report and post the contents — again, the text, not a screenshot. In the interest of privacy, I suggest that, before posting, you edit out the “Anonymous UUID,” a long string of letters, numbers, and dashes in the header of the report, if it’s present (it may not be.) Please don’t post shutdownStall or hang logs — they're very long and not helpful.

    Looks like your webkit framwork is broken, or is now broken in relation to iTunes. Calls and classes may have changed since version 7.1, which is what you are using. Try updating to the latest version of iTunes and see if this fixes it.

  • I have an iphone 4s and the text i send to a friend with a galaxy 4s he is not receiving any help?

    i have an Iphone 4S and the text i send to a friend with a galaxy 4s he is not receiving. Any help?

    Then it's sending as SMS and not iMessage (that's good) so deleting the contact probably didn't help. It also seems iMessage isn't redirecting his texts as he's not used and apple device on the account previously. Can he receive a picture message from you instead? Does he receive texts from other  apple devices? (iPhones,pods/pads) try sending a text through Verizon online using your account on a web browser. If it is also blocked then it confirms the issue is with his device, well at least points you there rather than guessing if it's yours or his or both. There's some ideas, let me know- Joe

  • Anchor tag error, also copy and pasting text comes up "null"

    After the recent update I am receiving anchor tag errors telling me to start with an alphabetic letter, which I was. Also no longer lets me copy and paste text onto a page, instead it says "null". Any ideas on a fix ?

    I don't see a closing </body> tag in your code.  There's an opening tag, but no closing tag, hence unbalanced.

  • Difference in a string and the text retrieved from JTextBox

    Hello,
    I am facing a peculiar problem. Please see the following code fragment:
    m.replaceAll(";\ngo;);
    where m is a matcher. This is working fine. But whenever I am doing
    m.replaceAll(myTextBox.getText());
    and placing ";\ngo;" in the text Field is not working as before. This is because that getText() returns a string in text form(doesnot take the newline into consideration). Any idea how to solve this?
    Regards,
    Saurav

    Here is the following code:
    File fin = new File(file);
    File fout = new File("C:\\Temp\\temp123.txt");
    FileInputStream fis = new FileInputStream(fin);
    FileOutputStream fos = new FileOutputStream(fout);
    BufferedReader in = new BufferedReader(new InputStreamReader(fis));
    BufferedWriter out = new BufferedWriter(new OutputStreamWriter(fos));
    Pattern p = Pattern.compile(find);
    Matcher m = p.matcher("");
    String aLine = null;
    while((aLine = in.readLine()) != null) {
    m.reset(aLine);
    String result = m.replaceAll(replace);
    out.write(result);
    out.newLine();
    in.close();
    out.close();
    What I intend to do is that the user will provide a fileName from the GUI and also the text to find and the text to repalce with. Both of them will be in a JTextBox. Now
    suppose I want to replace ";" in the line "Hello;" with ";\nHow are u?" so that the line looks like
    "Hello;
    How are u?"
    But what is happening is that the line looks like
    "Hello;\nHow are u?" after replacement.
    This happens because getText() doesnot considers that as a special character...
    I tried to harcode the replace string and it worked perfectly....
    Thats the problem.....I need the same behaviour with getText().

    Saurav

  • Sending Email using both HTML and plain text

    I could use some advise on how to start researching email for
    both HTML and plain text messages.
    I have a script called class.phpMail.php, but the code is
    alittle advanced for me. Basically I can't get
    it to work on my server and I don't know where to begin the
    learning process here.
    I talked to my provider, "HOST" company goDaddy.com and I was
    told that to connect so that I could send email I would need this
    line of code. They didn't say it should by in my php.ini file but
    that was where I found it.
    SMTP = relay-hosting.secureserver.net
    This is the smtp address that my provider uses to make the
    connection with my mail client.
    I was told that with this line of code I would not need a
    password or username
    I did some further reseach and I found an article that stated
    that my original error:
    Warning: fsockopen() expects parameter 2 to be long, string
    given in ...../php/class.smtp.php on line 105
    was being caused by this code because the $port value needed
    to be between 1 - 65365:
    $this->smtp_conn = fsockopen($host, # the host of the server
    $port, # the port to use ----- "this is line 105"
    $errno, # error number if any
    $errstr, # error message if any
    $tval); # give up after ? secs
    In particular the $port value was coming in corrupted and
    that I needed to cast it.
    I did as they suggested and made it an (int) as they
    suggested.
    $this->smtp_conn = fsockopen($host, # the host of the server
    (int)$port, # the port to use
    $errno, # error number if any
    $errstr, # error message if any
    $tval); # give up after ? secs
    It resolved part of the error message however, the other half
    of the error message is shown below:
    Message could not be sent.
    Mailer Error: Language string failed to load: connect_host
    What exactly is the connect_host they refer to in this
    message?
    Would it be the string in my php.ini file refering to the
    SMTP = relay-hosting.secureserver.net
    I have allot of what I think are disconnected questions as I
    really have just begun to work
    with the mail() function. If anyone has the time to educate
    this newbie into the wonderful
    world of email() I would appreciate it.
    Thank You
    Kevin Raleigh

    Sorry to dig up an old post, but we've spent the last few days trying to work out why an email campaign being sent from BC is going into the Junk folder of recipients that use MS Exchange. We've fixed quite a lot of issues, including the fact that Legacy Templates have random JS injected just before they get sent, so we had to switch to the new template system. We've narrowed the issue down to one of three things:
    1. A missing alt tag on the tracking image that BC drops into the email (pretty unlikely)
    2. The BC Europe IP (54.240.14.45) is blacklisted here: UCEPROTECTL2 (possible, but if you actually look it's not the IP itself, but another IP on the same network, so unlikely)
    3. The fact that the HTML email has no text component.
    I agree, BC is late on this but I think that it needs to be added, even if most users have HTML-ready email clients, spam checkers do seem to prefer multi-MIME emails.
    This is backed up by the following SpamAssassin rule, which we are currently unable to resolve:
    -1.105
    MIME_HTML_ONLY
    Message only has text/html MIME parts
    You should also include a text version of your message (text/plain)
    So in my opinion, BC do still need to add this as a feature, otherwise the system is not viable for our customers and we'll have to look elsewhere.

  • Problem with focus and selecting text in jtextfield

    I have problem with jtexfield. I know that solution will be very simple but I can't figure it out.
    This is simplified version of situation:
    I have a jframe, jtextfield and jbutton. User can put numbers (0-10000) separated with commas to textfield and save those numbers by pressing jbutton.
    When jbutton is pressed I have a validator which checks that jtextfield contains only numbers and commas. If validator sees that there are invalid characters, a messagebox is launched which tells to user whats wrong.
    Now comes the tricky part.
    When user presses ok from messagebox, jtextfield should select the character which validator said was invalid so that user can replace it by pressing a number or comma.
    I have the invalid character, but how can you get the focus to jtextfield and select only the character which was invalid?
    I tried requestFocus(), but it selected whole text in jtextfield and after that command I couldn't set selected text. I tried with commands setSelectionStart(int), setSelectionEnd(int) and select(int,int).
    Then I tried to use Caret and select text with that. It selected the character I wanted, but the focus wasn't really there because it didn't have keyFocus (or something like that).
    Is there a simple way of doing this?

    textField.requestFocusInWindow();
    textField.select(...);The above should work, although read the API on the select(...) method for the newer recommended approach on how to do selection.
    If you need further help then you need to create a "Short, Self Contained, Compilable and Executable, Example Program (SSCCE)",
    see http://homepage1.nifty.com/algafield/sscce.html,
    that demonstrates the incorrect behaviour, because I can't guess exactly what you are doing based on the information provided.
    Don't forget to use the "Code Formatting Tags",
    see http://forum.java.sun.com/help.jspa?sec=formatting,
    so the posted code retains its original formatting.
