Canvas displays stills zoomed in

Browser - stills appear correctly sized in thumbnails,
Timeline - thumbnails appear sized correctly
Viewer - double click on thumbnail in timeline and canvas displays correctly sized still
Canvas - still is zoomed in no matter what size I choose in the dropdown list.
What size will I get when the movie is generated?

you might want to read up in the manual a bit to help orient yourself to what it is you are looking at.
If your still is high-res, it won't necesarily scale to your frame size, and so it might appear "zoomed in". However, when you open the still from the timeline back into the viewer, it should appear within a frame that matches your sequence.
I usually keep my canvas and viewer set to "fit to window" (shift-Z), or 100%. If you see scrollbars in the canvas you aren't seeing the whole frame, and realtime playback capability can be limited.
Activate one of the wireframe modes in the canvas and select the clip in the timeline. Can you see the whole bounding box and corner handles on the still? If not, zoom out the canvas (apple -) until you can. Grab the corner and resize your still to fit your frame. Unlike Photoshop, or any other program I have ever used, proportions are constrained by default, and holding shift will disable constrained proportions.

Is there a way to set my settings in the latest version of Firefox so I can still zoom using the trackpad?

I have a MacBook. In previous versions of Firefox I could zoom in or out using my trackpad. Is there a way to set my settings in the latest version of Firefox so I can still zoom using the trackpad?

Some gestures have been removed in Firefox 4.
You can restore the zoom feature by changing the values of the related prefs on the about:config page.
browser.gesture.pinch.in -> cmd_fullZoomReduce
browser.gesture.pinch.in.shift -> cmd_fullZoomReset
browser.gesture.pinch.out -> cmd_fullZoomEnlarge
browser.gesture.pinch.out.shift -> cmd_fullZoomReset
browser.gesture.pinch.latched -> false
To open the about:config page, type about:config in the location (address) bar and press the "Enter" key, just like you type the url of a website to open a website.

Tab Canvas displaying Stacked Canvas at runtime disappears?

Hi,
I have 3 canvases that contain the following:
1) Content Canvas -- This contains the TREE item.
2) Tab Canvas -- A tab canvas with a single Tab Page
3) Stacked Canvas -- This is a Stack Canvas with a few
text items on it.
4) Single Window.
======At runtime the following actions occur: ==========
1) The Viewport of the stacked canvas is set to the
Viewport of the Tab Page on the Tab Canvas so that it
looks like the Tab Page has a vertical and horizontal
scrollbar with text items displayed.
2) A text item on the Stacked Canvas is in focus as soon
the as the form window is displayed.
===================Problem is : =====================
1) When I select a Node of the Tree Item, the Tab Canvas
automatically disappears(or becomes invisible) , as a
result the stacked canvas displayed within it at
runtime also becomes invisible. I am left with only
the Tree item being displayed.
=======================================================
PS : I have never experienced this problem with just the
content canvas and the Tab Canvas together.
Any soultion to this problem is most appreciated.
Thanks
Sharath

I am experiencing the exact same thing. The width of the tabs in the layout editor is varied depending on the length of the text. However, at run-time, the width of the tabs is fixed, causing the tabs to be wider than the window and a set of VCR buttons to appear in the upper right corner of the canvas. Personally, I think this is a Forms bug. Why would they intentionally let us set the width to variable at design-time only to force a fixed width at run-time?

No idea if Windows will do it, but you can run Windows without Bootcamp & have OSX available at the same time, which should give you all the Monitors that OSX uses.

Setting canvas display to 16:9

Hi
I've imported 16:9 footage from several sources, no sweat. I'm having difficulty consistently getting the canvas to display 16:9 without black bars above and below the viewing area. After many false starts I thought I had discovered a menu option that just selected 16:9. Now I can't find it. Anyone know how to select canvas display set at 16:9 without the black bars?
Phil

The canvas will display your media based on your sequence settings.
If you are placing 16:9 anamorphic media in a 4:3 timeline, the bars are automatically added.
To change sequence settings:
Menu Bar> Sequence> Settings>General>Anamorphic 16:9
or
Control + 0 (zero) >General> Anamorphic 16:9
Once you change the setting, you may have to load each clip into the VIEWER and change each clips' MOTION TAB>DISTORT setting to ZERO to get it to display correctly.
Otherwise, create a new sequence using the easy preset for the appropriate setting and drop your material into that.
Welcome to the forum. You may want to spend some time reading the manual about matching sequence settings.
good luck.

Display has Zoomed in

My display has zoomed in im I4s. I can scroll it to get to the top and two sides, but it will not scroll up to see the bottom. Seems to be some sort oif accessibility option, but I cannot find how to clear it. Does a factory reset clear all apps, music, photos etc? How else can I clear it?
Thanks for any help or advice.
Tom

Glad that worked. Now go to Settings > General > Accessibility. You can turn Zoom off if it's on.

HT1338 How do I reset the display setting back to default? My display is zoomed to one corner and the other 2 sides are cut off. I don't know how to fix it.

My baby nephew pressed a lot of the buttons on the my mac and has caused the display to zoom into one corner. It other two corners are cut off which makes it really difficult to use the computer. I attatched and image so that you can see what I am talking about. Please help, thanks ! =)

Hold down the Control key and scroll with the mouse or keyboard. One direction zooms the other unzooms.

Canvas display issue with stills and cross fades

When viewing a collection of JPEG stills with cross fades, the images appear like they are "settling in" the canvas window (almost as if they expand a bit and then 'retreat back' to the space the window has). When removing the transitions I don't have the issue. Issue also appears when do more complex builds. No difference whether stills are exact 720x480 or much bigger. I rendered a portion of my sequence out to QuickTime and via Compressor and it shows normal - so my only issue is that my preview before render is not reliable (for the stills portion). Also tried to swith off external video options etc. and changing size of canvas window with no result. Suggestions? (using FCP 5.0.4 and latest QuickTime)

The preview of unrendered material is never reliable and isn't meant to be. It just gives you a basic idea what's there. Render the transitions and you should see them as they are meant to be seen.

Why does my canvas display white after importing sequence from Color into FCP 7

Hi, I have a problem involving the relationship between Color and Fcp 7. When I imported my Color grade back into fcp 7 it permanently changed my fcp working file, even the other ungraded sequences. Now when the cursor is static over a clip all that is diplayed on the canvas is white, but when the film plays it plays normally. This is obviously a problem because it is useful to see individual frames when editing.
Furthermore, when I exported the graded sequence from Fcp 7 as a .mov, certain parts were now blocks of white, the first time it seemed to be the parts where there were green unrendered bars above the clips in the fcp file, but then the second time I rendered it all prior to exporting and there were still two areas where it was white in the export, namely the title credit which I had made against a colour solid Matte, and also a greenscreen clip that I had imported from After effects.
The problem now is that it has permanently changed fcp so that all of the working files for my different projects now display as white when the cursor is static.
Does any one have any ideas?
Thanks alot,
Bill

Ah actually just solved the problem, turns out it has nothing to do with Color after all, just on the Canvas drop down menu to the right it was set to Alpha rather than RGB - very simple really!

Are the all silver cinema display still worth getting?

I'm getting a mac mini anf will need to get a new monitor for it. I was on ebay and saw the all silver cinema displays on theren for arounf 200 dollars. Are those still worth the money and are they good monitors?

This new display is designed for use with the new MacBooks. If you want a dual display solution that works with the current iMacs then you need to buy one of the current Apple Cinema Displays.
Future Apple Cinema Displays will be using the new DisplayPort interface which will require a mini DVI to DisplayPort cable to be used with current iMacs.

Changing Displayed Still Images for Podcasts

I just got iWeb up and running today. Everything is working great, except I can't figure out how to change the default thumbnail images that are assigned when I add new video files to my Podcast page.
Several of my video files start with a black frame and fade in, which is causing iWeb to display a black image for the Podcast on the Entries page. Is there an easy way to change this image without re-editing my videos?
I've searched the help menus and the discussion posts here. I was hoping that changing the associated artwork in GarageBand would fix this. I figured out how to add an image and resize it, but when I brought my video file in, the image I had edited added just disappeared and was replaced by a marker symbol.
I know the quick fix in DVD Studio Pro: open the inspector for the button, uncheck "motion", and set the little timeline to the frame you wish to use. Please help!
My other idea is to try to configure a links page for the videos myself, so that I can control the image used and just add a hyperlink. Suggestions?

I had the same problem and looked all over as well. I
ended up reopening my video clips in Final Cut..
adding one frame at the start of my still frame and
then rerendered it out to iweb. it works.. shows up
in the itunes store as well.
I can try that, but that ruins the fade in from black effect. I'm hoping there is an easier way. If not, maybe future versions...

T530, only projector mode, notebook's display still on

Hello,
I have my T530 attached to docking station with an external display attached to it via display port. Everything is working properly, I can switch between notebook display and external monitor.
Only thing that bothers me is when I turn on my notebook (even if it was used in projector only mode before shutting down and notebook is still in docking station), "projector only" is still running, but the notebook's screen is activated, in a way that it actually does not show anything, but I can see that the display is backlit.
Solution to this is in Windows 7 "disconnect projector" and then set "projector only" again. Does anyone else experience the same?
Thank you for your answers.

The backlight being lit shouldn't be happening AFAIK. Try the usual driver/BIOS update though.

Canvas Remains Still While Output Monitor is Fine

Recently the Mac Pro station I work on was upgraded from FCP 6.x to 7.03. Noting that everything worked fine prior to the upgrade and everything works fine after the upgrade except this new problem:
When scrubbing the timeline audio and video playback fine on both the external monitor and the FCP canvas window. When I playback the timeline the output monitor works fine but the canvas window remains frozen on the first frame where the playhead was. As soon as you stop playback the canvas will update to the current and correct frame but it remains still or frozen during all playback except scrubbing.
Thanks for any suggestions.

Oops, sorry,wrong answer - let me try again:
Go to the menu Final Cut Pro > Audio Video Settings and click on the A/V devices Tab. Make sure "Mirror on Desktop" is selected:
