Bug report iMovie '11 Title, Picture, Transitions Location Duration bug

In iMovie '11 version 9.0.1 (1095) there is a very annoying bug if you use Norwegian or Dutch. I presume in other languages as well, but in English I can't repeat the bug.
Set System Preferences > Language & Text to Nederlands or something else (not English).
In iMovie, add a Title, try to change Duration in the inspector to something between 10 and 59 seconds. The clip will change to 9:58 seconds.
I don't know how to do bug reports, so there you go. My parents and parents in law (south of 70) would love to see this fixed. I am very proud they even use this stuff, I don't see them relearn their patiently acquired skills in English.

In iMovie, if you click iMovie/Provide Feedback, you can send your comments and bug report to Apple.
This is a user to user forum, so they may or may not see it here. I would not count on it.
I think it is great that your parents are making movies.

FCP 7 BUG REPORT: "close gap" screws up marker locations

First off, it's wonderful to finally have automatically moving markers. Thanks.
the bug:
If you "close gap" between two clips (ctrl-G), the markers past that point will ONLY update their locations correctly if the play head is positioned at the start of the gap. If the play head is in the middle of the gap, it does something wrong and unexpected. I edit with ctrl-G a lot, so this is a problem for me.
Also, while I greatly appreciate the new marker list export tool (which makes the self-moving markers useful), giving a longer-than-short name to a marker screws up the column spacing of the export. I propose having an option in the export box to automatically truncate long names to preserve column spacing. Or you could just space all columns based on the longest name.
Thanks

I posted it as a bug report as well.
I'm starting to see that these automatically moving sequence markers are of no use the way they behave now. For example, select half the clips in the timeline, type "+100" to move everything 100 frames, and watch how the markers don't keep up with the movement. Or just click and drag to move the clips. If you were using the markers to know where your VFX shots and commercial breaks are, you have now lost them. These sequence markers are only of use if they ALWAYS remain where they are in relation to the media below them.
Also, there needs to be an option for a specific marker to NOT ripple it -- not just a global toggle. For example, on a TV show you often have a specific length you need to hit in 23.98 to end up with the right length in 29.97 DF and it's nice to put a marker at that point in the sequence. But that doesn't work with ripple mode on.
In short, I like the new feature but it needs to be implemented more intelligently to be useful.

ITunes for Windows 7.0.1.8 bug report

Do Apple employees actually read these forums? Is there some other (e.g. better) way for me to submit substantive iTunes bug reports to them?
I've noticed a bug in iTunes for Windows, spanning both versions 6 and 7. I'm currently using 7.0.1.8 and the bug still manifests there. My iPod is a 60GB photo model, firmware version 1.2.1 (which is the latest available). This bug is reproducible on multiple PCs (by ripping the same CDs to two different iTunes installations on two different PCs), so it is definitely not a misconfiguration
issue or a fouled up OS install or faulty PC hardware.
If a song's artist field contains an ampersand character, then when the song is uploaded to the iPod, that artist entry does not appear at all in the "Artists" menu on the iPod itself. I have this problem with songs by "Korn & The Dust Brothers" and by "Larry Graham & Graham Central Station". Due to this bug, it's not possible to locate these songs by artist using the iPod's UI, even though the songs are indeed present on the iPod and can be accessed by album title.
This bug is extremely obnoxious and needs to be fixed ASAP. Thanks.

Chalk this one up to "bad feature design".
Apparently the songs I was having trouble with just happened to be flagged (in "Get Info") as belonging to a compilation, and my iPod was set to "Compilations: On".
I've never used the Compilations feature and I didn't understand how it worked. Apparently, any song that belongs to a compilation won't show up under the "Artists" view but will instead show up only under the "Compilations" view on the iPod (if "Compilations: On" is set in the iPod's UI).
The Compilations feature isn't designed or explained very clearly anywhere, so I'm sure I'm not the only person who has been confused by its behavior. Especially since I never manually turned the feature on or manually set any songs I ripped as belonging to any compilations. I hope Apple will do something in future iTunes releases to alleviate that confusion.

How to find my submitted bug report in Java bug database

I just submitted a bug report in Java bug database and it told me that the submission is successful without its bug ID and no email notification is received from Oracle.
And I cannot find the bug in bug database with the title I submitted.
The bug's product/category is Java Plug-in in JRE7
So how could I get the bug status? Will it be fixed and how is it going on?

FAQ: How do I submit a bug report or feature request or otherwise give feedback about Premiere Pro?

The best way to submit a bug report or feature request is to use the bug-report/feature-request form.
The Premiere Pro team doesn’t necessarily see and record every post on every forum and social network, but we do see, record, and track every entry through the the official feature-request/bug-report form.
It also helps a lot if you opt into the Product Improvement Program.
Also, be sure to use the crash reporter.
We really do read all of the bug reports and feature requests, and the software really does get a lot of benefit from detailed crash reports.
Don’t forget about contacting Adobe Technical Support or Customer Service, too. For information on how to contact Adobe Technical Support, see this page. (Note that you must register your product before you can open a technical support case for it.)
If you have tried to get help from our support staff, but the service was inadequate, I can help you to escalate your issue if you send me your case number at kopriva at adobe dot com. You must provide me a case number. I am not offering to solve your problem myself; rather, I am willing to forward your information to someone if you have already hit a dead end with our Technical Support or Customer Service.
If you have feedback about the content of the Premiere Pro Help document, then please add a comment at the bottom of the relevant page. You can add comments to add information, to add links, to make corrections, or to ask for clarification.
If you want to keep up with the Premiere Pro team, then you can follow our blogs, Facebook page, and Twitter feed and so on.
Oh, and I can’t resist this opportunity to remind you to update to the most recent version of the application. Don’t be surprised when the first thing that you hear back from us is that you need to install the latest updates. We fix a lot of things in updates, and we don’t want to go chasing bugs that we’ve already fixed. We’ll keep you posted on our blogs, Facebook page, and Twitter feed about updates as they become available.

Hi qwerty,
Dun tink that creative customer support sucks cos I had been dealing with them in the past and I can say that their service are quite gd and fast. If you wanted a refund, I tink you need to contact the store that sells you the product. Dun tink creative will refund you though.

Filing Bug Reports in Configurator

I spend a lot of time looking at the logging in Console that comes from this app, and I have a few uncaught exceptions and Crash Reports that I can recreate consistently. Can I file bug reports with Apple? Where do I file bug reports? I have seen the Apple Bug Reporter, and there is no clear product type that matches Apple Configurator (iPad, iPad SDK, App Store, Other) and I am not sure if this is even seen as official. Anyone does this before?

Please do file bug reports using Apple Bug Reporter and they will be routed to the Configurator engineering team. Provide as much information as you can about the problem, what specific actions you take that cause it to occur, versions of all relevant software (Configurator, OS X, iOS, etc.), and anything else that seems relevant.

How to re-open a bug report?

Hi,
I've found a bug in jdk6. I also found an entry for this bug in Sun's bug database (Bug ID: 4197239). It says the bug has been fixed but it appears to me that it is still there.
Do I have to create a brand new bug report or is there some way to 're-open' the existing bug report? I added a comment saying the bug is still there, but I'm not sure if that is sufficient.
Thanks.
-Martin

Create a new one. I've never seen a bug report reopened. I suspect if they ever tried it, the whole website would melt down. ^_^

IMovie 09 BUG ? Amendments to Titles not reflected.

Something irritating happens to me in using iMovie '09.
I made a short 5 mins movie, after testing and what not & after being satisfied, I then goto Share > Export Movie, type a filename then press ENTER. A message then appeared and say "Preparing project ...". After 7 mins, the movie is completed.
Then when I played the movie, I realized I don't like the fonts of the titles. So I went back & amend the Title. Then I repeat Share > Export Movie. When I chose the same filename, it asked me whether I want to replace the old file. So, I clicked REPLACE.
When I opened up the file, it played the old movie (meaning the amendment of the title was not reflected). How come it is still playing the old file ?
Fed up, so I tried again, this time deleting the old file before sharing it again. Doesn't work, I tried deleting old file and naming a new file, it also doesn't work. I notice all this time after clicking Share > Export movie, instead of the message "Preparing Project", the message now says "Exporting Movie".
Being too fed up, this time I tried inserting some photos & then took it away & do more amendments. This time when I clicked Share > Export movie, it says "Preparing Project" and it worked !!
I can only conclude that after you clicked Share > Export movie, if the message says "Preparing Project", it will work but you got to pray that the message that comes out is not "Exporting Movie".
Is it a bug that you must make more amendments than just changing the fonts of the Titles ?
Is this a bug ? Or is there some settings that I missed out ?
Any ideas what went wrong ?
Thanks

I don't see prores 422, I do see aic. I tested this the other day and it offers zero compression, but it still gave me a soft output. I must have done something wrong with the settings. I used the preset for HDV 1080i and it still wasn't good. How do i get proress 422. Do i need to have final cut pro? I hope not.

Adding titles and transitions in iMovie HD 6

Tried to add titles and transitions to a couple of short ( 5 mins and 10 mins or so) films only to find sound is out of sync with pics. On checking found that I had recorded in 12 bit audio (dammit). Is this the cause of my problems and is there anything I can do long after the fact? I thought this was only a problem that happened when you had long films being sent to iDVD.

Sorry, iMovie doesn't offer that transition feature, nor does iMovie support Applescript. The only way I know to add a transition is to manually add it to the Timeline.
Regrettably, sometimes Apple doesn't eat its own dog food.

FAQ: I found a bug. How do I write a useful bug report? Or send bug files to Adobe?

If you think you've found a bug in Photoshop CS6, please post your findings here on the forums.
Here is a list of the information we'll want for you to gather at a minimum:
Clear and concise steps so that someone who isn't in front of your comptuer can reproduce the issue you are seeing
Include information on the operating system/version you are running. (e.g. "Mac OS 10.7.3" or "Win XP Service Pack 3")
Here are some more detailed instructions for writing a useful, complete bug report for us on the forums:
Provide a descriptive title that includes your OS information:Example: "Photoshop crashes when I save a JPEG file using the File>Save For Web & Devices... command (Mac OS 10.7.3)"
Provide concise, step-by-step details on how to reproduce the issue you are seeing.
Example:
Open an 8-bit, RGB image by selecting File>Open...
Create a new layer by clicking the "Create New Layer" button on the bottom of the Layers panel
Paint on the layer created in Step #2 using the default Brush tool
Choose File>Save For Web & Devices...
Make sure the optimized format is set to "JPEG" and set the Quality setting to "80"
Click the Save button at the bottom of the Save For Web & Devices dialog, choose the desktop as the location for saving the file
Provide a description of the "Result" you are observing:
Example: "Result: Photoshop crashes"
If there is an error dialog, please include the exact wording displayed in the dialog or provide a screen shot or video of the entire screen so we can see the dialog as well as the state of the application - i.e. what panels are shown, the state of the Layers panel, etc.
If the error is a visual defect, either in the user interface or the image itself, provide a screen shot or video of the entire screen so we can see the dialog as well as the state of the application - i.e. what panels are shown, the state of the Layers panel, etc.
Provide a description of the "Expected Result":
Example: "Expected Result: Photoshop to save JPEG file to the desktop, no crash"
In some cases this may be obvious (such as in the case of a crash) but in others, what you expect to happen may be different than what the application was designed to do. Please be as specific as possible.
Provide the crash log by submitting all crash reports, including your email address, for every single crash your encounter:
You may also include the contents of your crash log in your forum posts as well, but always submit them using the above instructions as well.
Crash logs are located on Macintosh here: Users/<your user name>/Library/Logs/CrashReporter
Provide your System Info from Photoshop: What's even more useful is if you can share your System Info from Photoshop as it contains all kinds of useful information (OS/version, graphics card, driver version, 3rd party plug-ins used, etc) that will help the team track down your issue.
On occasion, the Photoshop engineers may request that you provide problematic files in order to reproduce and debug your issue.
In these cases, please post the file somewhere using your own servers or one your favorite online document/distribution services and provide a URL/instructions to download the file:
Dropbox
Adobe SendNow
YouSendIt
If the file isn't something you can post publically, you can request that someone from the engineering team contact you to figure out a secure way to get the affected files.
Thanks,
The Photoshop Development Team

First thing would be to realise the exact error. Second would be to check your logs to see what you have installed/upgraded which might be causing this error. Third, google your error and see if matches turn up. Fourth, search in Arch bugtracker to see if a match exist. Else file a report.

Bug Report: DW CS5.5 Crashes Every Time On An Image Map

I am posting this in lieu of contacting Adobe support. I went to my account to send Adobe a bug report and was told I needed to contact support via phone. That's pretty crappy. As a licensed user who's owned it less than three months, there's no direct path to tell you guys that your software is broken?
Here's the deal: I am working on an HTML landing page with one image map attached to one image. Literally, every time I make a modification to the code near the image (tied to the image map) then click into the live preview window, Dreamweaver CS5.5 crashes like a 70-year old on a bar of soap on the floor of the shower. It crashes hard. My only relief is to save the file before clicking into the live preview window. That's my only workaround to the problem.
But I'm left amazed that I can crash it every single time over an image map, flicking from the code to the preview pane. You would think that at version 11.5, a minor thing like that wouldn't hemorrage the supposed creme de la creme of web design software.
Here's the code I'm editing that causes it to crash:

Bug Report and Feature Request https://www.adobe.com/cfusion/mmform/index.cfm?name=wishform

Bug Report - Some items in your iTunes Library ... because the file could not be found.

10.6 and this is still this is a problem?!?!?!?!
Not like this is an obscure issue only affecting a few noobs. Google returns 11,200 results on this issue!t'
Can we PLEASE at least allow the list of broken files to be dumped as a text file so I can find them manually! guess not,
I'll just have to get out a pencil and write down 100 songs to spend my saturday looking up and fixing. Or I could let my wife purchase 100 songs she already has whenever this comes up...
What's really infurating is that non-technical wife thinks this means she must go to the iTunes store and buy them again. Is it just coincidence that this only happens to songs that we ripped from the CD with iTunes? Hmmmm?....
what follows is for the programmers, please make sure this get's to the development group.
iTunes is the only music library manager, Media player was not even activated.
iTunes is configured to "Keep folder organized", "Copy files to folder when adding"
this has been a recurring issue since iTunes 9.x for us
The issue is persisted accross system and library rebuilds.
some of the same songs recurr but most of the time the list differs.
Library survived transfer to new computer and back for a system rebuild (new hdd) w/o this issue.
I'm guessing 100 songs is an arbitrary limit for error reporting.
Songs seem to get lost for the following reasons.
Track number added to filename
Spelling of some tags like Album, Artist, Title differ in iTunes library and the file path !!!!
Only seems to happen to mp3 files.
My suspicion is that iTunes is downloading meta data from the store and updating the mp3 tags and iTunes Music Library.xml then predicting the new file location without actually moving the file to that new location. I've enabled insert/update auditing on the NTFS folder to see if that provided any new info. I'm also capturing iTunes Music Library.xml so I can compare it to the new one WHEN this happens again and see if there is a pattern there.
Would love a bug number and feedback chanel on this.

The missing file thing happens when files are no longer where iTunes expects to find them. Possible causes are that you or some third party tool has moved, renamed or deleted the files, or that the drive they live on has had a change of drive letter. It is also possible that iTunes has changed from expecting the files to be in the pre-iTunes 9 layout to post-iTunes 9 layout, or vice-versa, and so is looking in slightly the wrong place.
Select a track with an exclamation mark, use Ctrl-I to get info, then cancel when asked to try to locate the track. Look on the summary tab for the location that iTunes thinks the file should be. Now take a look around your hard drive(s). Hopefully you can locate the track in question. If a section of your library has simply been moved, or a drive letter has changed, it should be possible to reverse the actions.
Alternatively, as long as you can find a location holding the missing files in a relatively sensible structure, then you should be able to use my FindTracks script to reconnect them to iTunes .
Although you say you haven't used Media Player it can be raised as a background process by visiting enabled web sites. Possibly worth you reviewing this post: Getting iTunes & Windows Media Player to play nicely

Unlike Windows Media player iTunes doesn't have a feature to automatically update tag data, although it will sometimes spot when a 3rd party program has (say during playback) and then update its own copy of the data. The iTunes (Music) Library xml file is provided for querying by third party software and is rewritten every time there is a change to the library, but is otherwise of no relevance to iTunes. The library is maintained in the iTunes Library.itl file. I suppose what could be happening is that iTunes issues a command to the file system to move a file based upon its tag, updates its knowledge of where the file is supposed to be, but the OS fails to move the file for some reason. Alternatively everything could go as planned, but iTunes could fail to get the updated copy of the library written out to disk so next time you start you get the previously stored locations.
I have ideas of my own about the best way to organise my media, but I'm quite familiar with the way iTunes does it. It might be interesting to see the details of one of the broken tracks, the path iTunes thinks it is at, and the actual path, in case there is anything that can be deduced.
Apple don't run an open bug tracking system so you won't be able to follow reports/progress based on a bug number. You can drop a line to iTunes Feedback or get a free Apple Developer account and submit a bug report report there.

Warning: 5.1 sound from camcorders: bug in iMovie '08

In another thread there is a eror reported.
The 5.1 sound from the Pana SD1 is not well down mixed to stereo by iMovie '08.
Resulting a strong right and weak left channel.
The problem is fully reported and documented to Apple and in this other thread:
http://discussions.apple.com/thread.jspa?messageID=5367099#5367099
Earlier I reported the 5.1 sound downmix to stereo bug in iMovie.
At the moment I am testing two Sony camcorders: HDR-SR7E en HDR-CX6EK. The first is officially supported by Apple (iMovie '08 camcorder list) and the other is the latest memory card camcorder by Sony.
Both camcorders have 5.1 sound on board and YES these camcorders cause the same problem in iMovie '08.
There definitely is a 5.1 stereo downmix bug in iMovie '08.
I do hope Apple can and will fix this.

I can hardly imagine, how you can record real surround sound wihtout a bunch of mic on location but just with a single located, small spot, tiny device (=camcorder), but marketing of those devices proof me wrong..
don't forget to report direct to Apple (this is just the user board here....):
http://www.apple.com/feedback/imovie.html

How many bug reports must I submit before I get a patch?

It seems that at every turn, PRE9 on my mid 2010 MacBook Pro with 8GB RAM, crashes. Editing titles, scrubbing through a video, exporting...
Are the bug reports I am submitting getting there? I wanted more flexibility than iMovie, but more and more I find myself back in there to produce simple videos.
The footage I am working with are either from a Canon 7D or a Kodak Zi8. Both seem to have issues.
This is a paid for, and registered copy of PRE9 (otherwise I couldn't work with Canon 7D video at all).
Thank you,
-Joe

Video from your Kodak may be iffy -- but the video from your Canon EOS should work perfectly in the program, if you're using the proper project preset.
Have you ensured that your Premiere Elements project is set up to match the specs of your camcorder's video? This setting is specific to your camera -- it is NOT AVCHD! (It also doesn't hurt to install your camcorder's software on your computer, since it sometimes includes important codec information.)
And note that this camera shoots video in up to 6 different frame rates and specs -- so you must ensure that your project settings match whatever settings you're using to create your video. This match is vital to a successful project. (My books, by the way, include a chart for figuring out exactly which project presets work with which camera source and setting.)
BTW, how powerful is the processor in your Macbook and how much RAM and free space do you have on your hard drive? Remember that most laptop computers are built for portability, not power (This is particularly true with Macbooks), so you may not have the power or drive space to work with such intensive (H.264) video.
Finally, note that this is a user-to-user forum. If you're looking for help working through your issues, we're glad to help you. But if you merely want to report a bug or contact Adobe, you've come to wrong place.
