Color Banding issue with FCP and Color...PLEASE HELP!!

Ok so heres whats going on and i'm hoping some can help me out here cause i'm totally lost!
So we have a film shot on HDV. The scenes are mostly dark and well lit. Everything in the FCP timeline looks great (little noisy but great). We brought it over the color and did our color grading and corrections. Once we returned back to FCP, we started seeing some major color banding. We then applied the neatvideo plug-in with helps with noise but it made it far worse.
We are rendering in 10bit but how can we remove this banding!!
Thanks again for the help!

Yeah, you can't critically judge video quality on computer displays. They won't show you an accurate image. Unfortunately, there is no way to send a signal to a video display (HDTV, broadcast monitor) for this purpose from an imac.

Sudden banding issue with Mac and new Canon printer, already called tech

Good morning fellow Elementites.
I have been using Photoshop Elements 12 on my MacBook Pro 13 inch, running Maverick OS, printing to HP Photosmart Premium all-in one with no banding issues, ever.
I did want to upgrade my printer and monitor so I purchased the Canon Pixma Pro 100 and a new external LG IPS monitor to view the PSE program.
I also purchased ColorMunki Display to calibrate the monitor. Everything is operational with the recommended settings for color etc.
I printed a .tiff image and a .jpg through the PSE print function. The images that looked perfect on the new monitor and Macbook monitor printed with banding. I called Canon tech support. The man had me perform a few tasks to make sure the printer was operating correctly. We printed test sheets from the printer and they were all as they should be.
He the said he NEVER prints from PSE. He edits in PSE but prints using Canon's EZ share or print or whatever it's called, doesn't matter cause I do NOT LIKE IT AT ALL. Not to mention it is just another step in the work flow. Not to mention that I paid good money for a photo editing program of high quality and I want to use ALL the features.
He said the problem isn't the printer but the printing software instructions TO the printer via the Mac OS printer system, or something like this is what he said. He also had me download some other updates and driver files. He then had me remove the printer from my printer list and then add it back.
He then had me print the .jpg image, (it only prints .jpg which is annoying as heck,) and it came out SO BEAUTIFUL I ALMOST CRIED
I want to print this quality THROUGH PSE. Does anyone have a clue as to what to do to resolve the issue? None of the suggestions in other threads from the past seem appropriate enough.
Eager to hear,
Regards.

I have returned home and have copied down all the settings so that I may post them here before I do any more fiddling. Maybe something glaring will be spotted before I start changing things.
I opened an image in PSE 12.
I chose from the PSE menu at the top of the monitor, FILE >PRINT
A window appears with my photo and boxes and such: 1. Select Printer> CANON PRO 100-SERIES (The other printer isn't concern now).
Select Paper Size and Orientation, no problems with this or any of the other settings in this window.
I then select MORE OPTIONS button at bottom of window.
Another window opens.
There are 3 options listed on the left hand side PRINTING CHOICES which it is automatically on, CUSTOM PRINT SIZE which I haven't needed yet, and COLOR MANAGEMENT.
I select COLOR MANAGEMENT.
COLOR HANDLING is set to PRINTER MANAGES COLOR.
IMAGE SPACE is listed, not in any box, as sRGB IEC61966-2.1
PRINTER PROFILE is listed in a box that is grayed out and not selectable, as CANON IJ COLOR PRINTE...
RENDERING INTENT is set in a selectable box as RELATIVE COLORMETRIC.
(There is a little mssg below all this that reminds me to remember to enable color management in the printer preferences dialog. I was never able to find this action and after doing some research I read that this mssg is a boo boo as the function is automatic in MAC running Maverick, supposedly).
I then click OK and the box goes away.
I then click the PAGE SET UP button.
A window titled PRINT opens.
The Printer selection box says CANON PRO=100 series.
The next box always confuses me because nothing in the list appears to pertain to me when I want to print my photos. It is the Presets box.
I believe FAST PRINTING ON PLAIN PAPER is always showing when I open this window. But I don't want that so I always look to see if there is something I should choose that applies. I don't know what they mean by DEFAULT SETTINGS in this case. LAST USED SETTINGS would be ok if that was what I wanted each time I printed. FAST and FINE on Plain Paper? I have been assuming they mean plain copy paper so I don't choose that. SAVE CURRENT SETTINGS AS PRESET, I don't choose that because I haven't been sure of the settings. And the SHOW PRESETS does me no good becuase you can't change anything in there.
PAPER SIZE, not an issue at the moment.
LAYOUT button is my next stop, by now I am exhausted
I look at COLOR MATCHING which shows CANON COLOR MATCHING as the selected method. (The other choice is COLOR SYNC but I don't know anything about that one and haven't been told to change it.)
PAPER HANDLING & COVER PAGE, N/A at this time.
QUALITY & MEDIUM. I choose my paper type, paper source, print quality which for my photos I select HIGH. I don't touch COLOR OPTIONS because that is scary looking. And BORDER and MARGIN I have no issue with.
I then hit SAVE and the window closes.
Then I select PRINT in the lower right of the window that has my photo in it and from which I acessed all these other things.
Phew. So, can anyone tell me if they see anything wrong here, PLEASE.
Regards,
P.

Issue With Receiving Calls. PLEASE HELP!!!!

For the past couple of months both lines on my account have been experiencing issues. Randomly, when someone attempts to call one of the 2 lines (me or my wife), they receive the "Thank you for calling Verizon Wireless. The number you have reached has been changed, disconnected, or no longer in service." They then have to call back (sometimes multiple times before they can get through). I experience it when I call from my mobile to my wife's phone as well. It is become quite a pain and VZW has been NO help at all!!! They claim I am in a marginal service area. There are multiple problems with that statement.
1. I am in a great service area and I always have full service.
2. The problem does not always occur in my home service area!!!
The rep then changed her mind and said it must be equipment, however my wife has been through 3 different phones within the past couple of months.
She then recommended I changed carriers!!!!! This really upset me as I have Verizon service for everything (VZW and FiOS).
Can someone please recommend any kind of solution????

First, you really should consider calling another representative and report your disatisfaction with that prior rep. Advising you to switch carriers was in poor taste. They are trained quite thoroughly to assist customers to the fullest and not advise leaving VZW. Secondly, if the issue has transcended the device in that it has happened through multiple esn changes (your wife has been through 3, you wrote), then it obviously is not the device. Next, if you are experiencing intermittent issues with this in an area that otherwise works fine, it probably has nothing to do with the service coverage; if the coverage was a problem, you either would be unable to make a call at all, would have multiple dropped calls, or would experience an increasingly degraded call quality. This tells me that it has to do with the phone's connection to the network, which an over-the-air program attempt might resolve (*228, option number 1 - you could even possibly get away with option number 2) like the prior individual explained above. The likelihood is that you are going to need to file a trouble ticket with your lines, which can only be done through technical support after going through the initial level of troubleshooting through customer care. You really should call them again, with this knowledge backing you up.

FLASH ISSUE WITH MY SITE! PLEASE HELP!

I've uploaded a test site to see how it would look and it seems there is a problem with line spacing or something??!! Flash is not my strong point so I would love some help PLEASE!!! When I view the site running off my laptop (offline) it runs fine, everything is in order. Yet online the spacing issue occurs. Its a problem because the site is fitted into a rectangle type layout that is centered in the screen, because of the spacing issue the text rolls down past the border of the rectangle and even goes out of view towards the bottom of the browser. The flash site pulls the info for the gallery and text for the main sites pages from two xml files.
PLEASE HELP I'M DESPERATE!!!
Big thanks!!!

From the screenshot: Is the spacing problem the space between the bold line of text and the regular text below it?
When you import text from an .xml file, the literal text is usually put into a variable, then that variable is used to populate the dynamic textfield with that text. The htmlText that I was referring to is the text in the .xml file. You mentioned a break tag, so I'm assuming that you are using html formatting on the text in the .xml file. If this is true, then the problem is most likely in the way that the text is organized in the .xml file. Flash sees carriage returns and spacing differently than most current browsers. It works more like older versions of IE in that it incorrectly adds vertical space to text in seeminly random ways.
For instance, if you have text set up like this:
Line one of the text.
<br>
Line two of the text.
Flash will see this as three carriage returns, not two. You may need to re-write the text like this:
Line one of the text. <br> Line two of the text.
Without seeing the layout of all of the files for your movie, I can't really tell where the problem might be with the loading errors. I usually put my external files in folders that are in the same folder as the Flash movie so that the relative path is short and simple.

Issues with canvas crop. Please help!!

I shot some video using a Canon D5. It plays fine in Quicktime and everything. But when I put it in Final Cut, it looks fine in the viewer, but is cropped really small in the canvas. Plenty of people have explained how to crop in the canvas, but what about how to uncrop??!! I want to see and work with the full frame! I know there must be some easy solution to this -- someone please help! Also, I am using Final Cut 5.1.4

The D5 shoots AVCHD. You need to convert that so you can edit it.
In FCP 5.1.4, your best choices are Apple Intermediate Codec or DVC PRO HD.
>it looks fine in the viewer, but is cropped really small in the canvas.
Your Sequence settings in FCP do not match the codec and pixel dimensions of the source footage.

Major DNS issue with my Partner Site PLEASE HELP...

As a a business catalyst partner my partner site is completely down and all my corporate emails have been erased. I built a new partner site using a business catalyst template and when I uploaded the new site to my partner site there were major conflicts with the default site-wide template and the files that I am unable to erase via FTP on the partner portal so the new template never fully worked.
So I moved on to Plan B - which was to open a new site as a "customer" under my own business catalyst account. Uploaded the files and the site worked, now when I tried to take my partner account domain name and transfer it to my newly created customer account I ran into a second even larger issue. It tells me the domain name already exists (as my partner domain) - please delete all files and try again (see screen shot for details.).
It will not allow me to erase the partner account under my partner portal as the "Delete Site" feature is not there for my partner portal (see screenshots for example).
Please help me straighten out this mess as my business site is completely down and all my corporate emails have been completely erased.

I actually had the exact same problem. If you are a premium partner and rebranded unfotunately the domain name can't be moved because your customer sites are tied to that domain name.
So the only option is to create a new domain for your site. It sucks I know, but I can see why it has to be that way.
If you have not rebranded, then contacting support might be able to change that for you.

Issue with Bean.. Please Help..

Hi All,
I have created a 2 Portal DC Projects (" A") and ("B").
I am getting a Bean (Ex:->"ModuleBean") in Project "A" and then I am setting this Bean in a Session Variable using :
ModuleBean mBean=getBeanData(x,y,z);
HttpSession PageSession = request.getServletRequest().getSession();
PageSession.setAttribute("DataBean",mBean);
Then I am iterating the Data from Session Value using,
session.getAttribute("DataBean") and iterating the Data from the Bean in the JSP of the Project "A". Then I am getting the data in JSP without any problem.
In the above JSP, I have a link, on Click of this Link it will Navigate to another Project"B" having JSP DynPageComponent("CompB") . Here I want to get the same Bean Data from the Session.
I did like below.
HttpSession BPageSession= request.getServletRequest().getSession();
ModuleBean bCompBean=null;
bCompBean=(ModuleBean)BPageSession.getAttribute("DataBean");
Note: The Same Variable Name I used in Project "A" to store the Bean Data. Please refer the code lines given above.(PageSession.setAttribute("DataBean",mBean);)
When I print the Value of bCompBean--It is giving a Bean Object of type "ModuleBean" (com.qp.erlc.modules.util.ModuleBean@1a7a4a4f) .
But Now the ISSUE is:
When I take some Value like bCompBean.getTitle(), then it is giving a java.lang.ClassCastException.
Can anyone tell me how to resolve this Issue.???
I already tried as below also in Project B to get the Value from Session.
Object bObj=null;
bObj=(Object) BPageSession.getAttribute("DataBean");
ModuleBean bCompBean=null;
bCompBean=(ModuleBean)bObj;
When I print this is also giving a Bean Object of type "ModuleBean"
(com.qp.erlc.modules.util.ModuleBean@1a7a4a4f) .
But here also If get some Value using getterMethod , this way also giving the same java.lang.ClassCastException.
Please Help me in solving this Issue...

drawMain(g);
public void drawMain(graphics g){
g.drawString("test", x, y);
//here's where i'm trying to pause
//i've tried placing Thread.sleep between these lines
g.drawLine(x, y, a, b);
//Thread.sleep here
g.drawRect(x, y, 50, 70);
}I also need to put delays between method calls but I need to synchronize them. Am I doing it all wrong? The application pauses or sleeps but afterwards, it still drew everything all at once. Thanks a lot!

It is. Sorry about that. Just answer any if you want to. I'd appreciate your help. Sorry again if it caused you anything or whatever. .n_n.

Issues with Adobe Revel subscription PLEASE HELP

I received an email 9 days ago that said my adobe revel premium subscription has been paid for. I am unable to upload my photos. Please help, this happened last month as well.

Carly,
I addressed this on another thread and sent you an email as well. You should be set for now, though please also respond to my email.

Problems with titles and backgrounds PLEASE HELP

At the beginning of my movie, I have inserted a title (pixie dust) which prompts me to include a background. I have done so. However, when i play the movie in full screen sometimes the title doesn't even show up at other times the title shows but without the pixie dust feature. I have tried to rectify this using precision editor but it doesn't work. When I play the video in the project library the pixie dust feature shows up. Please help. What am I doing wrong?

This seemed to be a bug in iMovie v.8.0.6. I have the same problem independently of the font and the background but only at the beginning of the project.
To avoid this problem make a short transition before the title clip and the text will appear in fullscreen mode too.
Good luck.

Issues with bootcamp partition. Please help!

So I got the error that some files could not be moved when I tried partitioning my harddrive. I downloaded SuperDuper! and copied my disk to an external 500gb hard drive. I reformated my disk and my drive to Mac OS X Extended (Journaled). I felt confident that I had it, but upon partitioning my disk again I read the same error. What do I do? I read in another topic that I need to restore my disk once I back it up, but what do I set as source and destination? Help in concise, easy to understand directions would be greatly appreciated.

You replied to yourself, so I guess that means you didn't read or digest, or perhaps look at the pdf manual for SuperDuper.

Urgent :- Issue with OC4J component startup - Please help.

Hello Oracle Gurus,
We are facing a very strange problem with the startup of OC4J home and the component is not starting up.
The application server we are using is Oracle 10G 9.0.4.
Please could you guide me as to what could be wrong so that we could resolve this problem ?

Hello Deepak,
Thanks very much for your prompt reply to my problem.
I tried to do what you mentioned in your reply to me, but still could nt manage to get the OC4J component up and running. We suspect that it may be some installation issue and we are blowing up the existing installation to make a fresh one on a new machine.
Will keep your suggestions in mind , they really help me out and am learning :-)
Have a great day and thanks once again !

Hard drive issues with early 2011 13" please help!

Hello everyone,
I'm new here but I need immediate help! I'll try to make the story somewhat short:
I have a macbook pro early 2011 13".
- Closed my lid one day (I did not make any changes or installed anything new recently) and upon reopening many hours later, the system was frozen.
- Did a hard shut off and upon turning it on, I get the crossed out circle.
- Recovery HD also gave me the same crossed out circle.
- Used internet recovery and formatted/partitioned the drive.
(Note that the drive in the bay at the moment is a Kingston HyperX SSD, not the OEM Samsung HD as I am actually using that as my secondary hard drive in my CD drive bay, which has been working fine the entire time before and during everything)
- Tried to reinstall Lion from internet recovery but it wouldn't detect the SSD.
- Strange, so I decided to install Lion onto an external hard drive and installed Mavericks onto the internal drive from there, successfully too.
- Same results (crossed out circle) upon booting into the internal drive (likewise for the recovery HD).
- I pulled out the drive and popped it into an enclosure and it could boot up from there.
- Took it a step further and purchased an additional SSD, partitioned it and installed Mavericks on it via the external hard drive (not the SSD in the enclosure)
- I can boot up from the new SSD, however it is extremely sluggish and freezes every few seconds with the spinning beach ball.
I am about to reinstall a newly downloaded copy of Mavericks onto the new SSD to see if it will fix the issue (which I doubt)
Could it be a problem with the drives or is it the SATA cable that is malfunctioning?
I'm not sure whether or not it is worth spending so much time repairing it because I've already spent a good three or four days getting this far.
Are the parts, repairs, hard drive replacements worth it or should I just replace it?

Did you format the external drive for use with OS X?
Open Disk Utility. Does Disk utility see the connected drive?
Format it to "Mac OS Extended (Journaled).

Channel unavailable ONGOING issue with only 1 TV - please help

I have had tech support out to my place no less than six times for various issues. The last time they tightened a cable and said it would be fine - again I am having problems and it is only on one TV.
The problem:
I turn to a channel - currently Weather and History (sometimes others)- and it shows unavailable. I reboot, bla bla and get same result. This only happens on one TV. The scifi channel currently is pixelated with poor reception. I also had a problem with a show I taped that stopped in the middle and never re-started. I call but get the same - reboot, bla bla then send a tech. They can never fix it - it seems to correct itself at some point (of course always before they send a tech).
The interesting thing is that it is only on my living room TV - not the bedroom. I am really tired of calling tech support or changing my schedule so a tech guy can come out and not find a problem. Does anybody have any ideas or thoughts? I could really use the help!

"The channel being unavailable is usually caused by the box not being activate correctly. when the box was installed it automatically tried to activate."
That is incorrect.

Currently unavailable is a signaling issue. most commonly with the coax, sometimes with the splitter, and sometimes with the box itself
