Bug: Letterbox effect gives unwanted high brightness and low contrast

When I apply the Letterbox effect, it looks good in the preview, but the result is a barely visible clip, all whited-out, letterboxed but with extremely low contrast and high brightness (applied to the whole screen, including the black letterbox bars). Some other effects, like Fog and Aged Film, produce the same unwanted results.
What's going on?
I am using iMovie HD 6.0.2 on a MacBook. Any help is appreciated.

Yes my particular issue is not like yours. However, there have been many other laptop users experiencing similar problem to yours after 3.10 kernel. Mostly it seems to be bumblebee users that experience your problem with the blank screen. We do know that nvidia have yet to make their official drivers work with kernel 3.10 and up. The drivers in the Arch repository have been patched to work with 3.10. From what I have seen, this also only seem to be affecting laptops with newer nvidia gpu's. I fear there is not much to do with this problem until nvidia give official 3.10 kernel support.
My suggestion would be to stick with 3.9.9 kernel and the drivers that work with it, and don't upgrade those packages until nvidia has addressed these issues. If you have a look at the nvidia forums you will see quite a number of topics mentioning black screen when starting x on 3.10 kernel, and also a thread for the system dying. Reading some of the threads there may help you keep up to date on whether or not the issue seem to be solved.

High brightness and low colour of display

HP Pavilion 15-n208tx Notebook PC (ENERGY STAR) ,high brightness and contrast for normal display setting so that colour is very less and some items like folders are not clear, Whats the solution

Hey harikottayam,
Thanks for the updated information.
I understand that you are using the default settings, but can you tell me if you are able to adjust the settings to your personal preference?
You can find the steps to do this here: Changing the Visual Appearance of Windows 8.
The default settings for a display are not always perfect for every user, which is why the ability to adjust resolution, brightness, contrast, etcetera, are a standard feature of any display.
If you are unable to adjust the display, or it is still poor quality I would suggest contacting HP Phone Support for service options. You're notebook is new so it should be covered under the factory warranty. You can contact HP Technical Support at 1-800-474-6836 in North America. For all other regions click here.
Hopefully this helps.

Whats the difference between high-density and low-density ram?

I bought what I thought was supposed to be a cheap 256 mb chip (pc100 or 133) but the g4 400 read only 128mb, The fellow in the store that sold it flipped out when I told him I had a Mac and said something about high density and low-density.Another guy in the store described it as being one sided and two sided.
I don't know what my machine needs. I got my money back but he would'nt let me exchange the chip for another, me thinking it was simply mislabeled.

The QuickSilvers use PC-133 SDRAM and are compatible with high-density memory chips (256 Megabit), so that 16-chip 512 MB and 8-chip 256 MB non-ECC DIMMs are supported. A low density, 16-chip (128 Megabit) 256 MB DIMM is also supported.

High bytes and low bytes?

What are high bytes and low bytes? Thanks for helping.

This may not be enough information to answer your question. How and where are the terms High bytes and Low bytes used?
Often, a data type is represented using multiple bytes. For example, short is 2 bytes. Sometimes the most significant byte is the high byte while the least significant byte is the low byte.

High level and low level grabs

Hi, I'm looking at different acquisition options. Fast acquisition is a priority as is fast processing. I'm a little confused on high level versus low level. Is there any benefit to which one is used? Or is it 6 one way and 1/2 a dozen the other. Thanks

If you feel comfortable using the Low Level functions I would personally recommend using them instead of the High Level. Bruce's answer is correct, high level will call low level with standard options selected. If you think of ways to improve the speed of your code, you may want to use low level, my reason is because high level VIs will actually be a function call calling other functions, which introduces a minimum delay, instead, if you use low level you are directly calling the functions for acquisition so there is kind of a small time saving if you think of it as acquisition wise.
Also, the high level VIs if you check their block diagram it has more structures for error checking, session ID checking, etc., so with low level you have direct control over the acquisitio
n from your main program without introducing innecessary structures or functions.

After update: bugs just turned around: no interlaced output and low quality

After eagerly waiting quite some time for this bugfix (corrupted quicktime output, not deinterlaced) I made my first tries with the update and keep on being frustrated.
a) export in full hd with quicktime with AIC created deinterlaced output even with 1080i checked
b) quality of full HD export is as low as if upscaled from 940*560, i.e. imovie08 exports were much better in the same constellation.
Full HD stays out of reach leaving imovie09 useless for me.
I want my money back.

Hey guys,
I hope I have not added to the confusion here but this is what I have found from my own tests.
-You CAN get fully interlaced 1080i output if you do not crop or scale or move your video in any way. I have done this and it works. I THINK the only allowable things in a project will be cross dissolves, fade through white or black and regular titles (non of the theme titles that scale and move the video). I this makes complete sense, as you MUST deinterlace (or drop a field like iMovie) anytime you move/scale or crop interlaced video. The fact that this was NOT happening in 8.0 is why the original interlacing artifact bug was occurring.
-I always remember iMovie '08 dropping a field on export, so I do not think it is any different. I think you are comparing your single field output to the interlaced output of iMovie 08. You can get interlaced output in iMovie '09 (v8.0.1) if you do not break any of the "rules" mentioned above.
-Yes iMovie 6 HD was different. That is because in iMovie 06, it was restricted to a single project format type. In a DV project, everything was DV and everything had to be rendered. In HDV, the same. SO when you chose Full Quality export, it was easy (everything was already DV or HDV etc..). In iMovie 08 and 09, the projects are all format independent and work in real time. What would be full quality output for a project consisting of 1080i, DV, 720p, some web video, a movie trailer and a 320x240 MP4 clip from your digital still camera? See where I'm going with this....
I rarely find anything that I cannot do in iMovie 09, and if I need more professional tools/output, I use FCP. I'm not saying your right or wrong, I'm just trying explain it as I understand it.
Try exporting your 1080i with only Cross Dissolves and regular titles (come to think of it I bet color adjustments and effects will also work, I'll try that next). If you go to 1920x1080, AIC or APpleProRes, you will get 1080i output.
Let me know how it works, good luck!

Iphone 3Gs high temperature and low batterie performance

Hello,
This is my first question here, so I'm sorry if I doing something wrong.
About a week ago my iPhone 3Gs is demonstrating very high temperature, at any location (inside my pocket, over my desk e etc...) and situation (it happens even in airplane mode), not enough to a overheat warning dough. And his battery dies in about 1 hour, no matter what I do. I've done a recovery and its came back to normal for 2 days, but after that the heat and battery problem has returned.
Could any body help me?

Recommended!
Hot phone and battery drain, cause of both together, is some hardware defect as a micro short-circuit (the phone dropped in water, as example) or an app who have a bug who let it eat all the energy (keep on localization services, as example).
Let the phone hard reboot, too, to remove any crazy process left in.
If you still have the issue with nothing running on (please make sure really nothing is on, neither background apps or itunes songs or anything else), most likely is hardware defect and you need service, as pointed above.

Is it possible to create a script to produce a high res and low res pdf and jpeg from Indesign at the same time

Hi, I'm just wondering if there is a way to automate a long process I have to do to create assets for my job.
I have a single page InDesign 6 file which I have to output three ways:
A low res pdf without bleed or trims
A high res pdf with bleed and trims
A low res jpeg downsized to 2% of original size.
If anyone knows if this is possible I'd love to hear from you.
Thanks in advance

Automation requires creating your own IDML script for output. Scroll down on this page to the section on Scripting resources. The text is a bit confusing. It says InDesign CS5 Scripting resources, but then the paragraph for that section says the PDF files are for CS6. I haven't read through these, I just found them by searching for "indesign automation". It does say in part that is can be used for preparing files for printing, so once you figure it out, it should be a single click option to do all three steps.
You can do them now with the menus you have, assuming you also have Acrobat Pro installed. With any document open, choose File > Adobe PDF Presets, and choose either from the prebuilt defaults, or create your own in the Distiller. However, I don't see a way in the Distiller settings to choose whether or not to include bleed and marks, so I'm not really sure how you'd have them on for one and not the other. As far as JPEG output, that can be chosen under Export. You get a choice to set a resolution and JPEG quality level, but not a size, so the output will be the dimensions of the document.

High speed and Low Speed CAN

Hi
This is my first time to use CAN.
I have LabVIEW 2010 and LabVIEW FPGA
I have NI 3110 Dual-Core Industrial Controller with Windows OS, NI 9157, NI 9852 CAN Low Speed Module and NI 9853 CAN High Speed Module to be used to monitor the CAN messages from an ECU unit.
The connection is done as the following:
·         The High speed CAN is connected to the NI-CAN 9853 (Port 0)
·         The low speed CAN is connected to the NI-CAN 9852 (Port 0)
·         The baud rate of the 9853 is 500kbps
·         The baud rate of the 9852 is 50kbps
·         Both modules are set to “Listen Only”
·         “Module Clock” in both modules is set to 20MHz
·         CAN networks are 29-bit and 11-bit.
My consideration is to read all the messages from both modules without losing any message. Below is a picture from the block diagram on the FPGA target, is this the best way to read CAN messages from both modules? Also, could you please suggest what is the best way to read the messages on Host vi?
Unfortunately, I do not have the module right now to do some test, so that I cannot get the iteration time (“CAN Low Speed Loop” and “CAN High Speed Loop” show in the picture below), could you please tell how to calculate the iteration time needed for each loop depending on the above information.

The way that you have proposed to use the CAN module to monitor the BUS is a bad idea. We have a prebuilt driver that will do most of this work for you. You will need to download and install the NI-CAN 2.7.3 and then you will be able to use the example finder. In the example finder look for.
The example finder is accessed through the Help menu.

Script to save out PDFs in High Res and Low Res and name them accordingly?

Hello
I'm on Indesign version 9.1. I previously had a script for this and have since had my mac wiped and re-installed (big company rules). So, here I am asking if someone can help me again..
Basically I have to create artwork and nearly every time I have to export it as a 150dpi LOW RES version and then a 300dpi HIGH RES version with time marks, bleed, etc. I then end the file name with either LR.pdf or HR.pdf. I have presets for these and obviously, it's not the worst thing in the world having to scroll down menus, etc but this is maybe up to 50 times a day. I used to be able to select an icon on my desktop (or wherever) then I used Indesign scripting and automator on the mac to press a kay command and it'd open the document, then save it out as the two designated PDFs, then close it.
Can anyone help me on this?
I can probably search on here for the previous thread asked and the script given to me...

myLayer.visible = true

Absolutely no difference at all in features / use of map data etc between the devices, my friend.

Which configuration is better: higher GHz and lower RAM or lower GHz and higher RAM?

I want to buy a new iMac. If all other factors are the same, including price, which configuration is better?
21.5" iMac (late 2012) $1699
3.1GHz Intel Core i7 Quad-Core
8GB of 1600Hz DDR3 RAM
--vs--
21.5" iMac (late 2012) $1699
2.9GHz Intel Core i5 Quad-Core
16GB of 1600Hz DDR3 RAM

A faster CPU gets the work done faster.
More RAM deals better with large chunks of work (= large files) and multitasking (more apps open simultaneously).
Fusion Drive is a an acceptable compromise to get the speed of SSDs and the affordable space of HDDs for as long as SSDs in the total target size are so astronomically expensive.

Letterbox effect

I want to produce a movie in a widescreen aspect ratio although the original footage was (foolishly) shot in 4:3. I am therefore looking to use the Letterbox effect to crop the tops and bottoms of each clip. That's OK but there are, however, a lot of clips and I also want to include some transitions and titles.
Does anyone know if there is a particular sequence I should use for this? I presume: letterbox...transitions...titles. Is there a way which will cut down the amount of rendering necessary?
Also, is there a way to keep the letterbox settings between editing sessions? The only way seems to be by measuring the screen - hardly high-tech!
Peter Weldon

Hi P,
I would:
finish whole project WITHOUT letterboxing
export to tape
reimport (now, just one big clip)
add effect
go for a walk, in the next bar, spend some days off Waikiki Beach et al.
besides:
if you want some more "film look" have a look at JES Deinterlacer that adds to the final project a deinterlacing, which looks grrrreat in combo with widescreen.

High level user and Low level user

Hi to all gurus,
How SAP diffrentiates between high level user and low level users?? I mean if the licences are for 25 high level user and 50 lowevel users, than how SAP will categorize the high level and low level user licenses?? Is there anyway where BASIS person has to specify??
Thanks and Regards,

Ask your SAP Account Manager, he will be happy to explain it for you.
