Colored fragments in transitions in 396 x 263 video

I have a specific frame size I need to export (396 x 263) for a web site. I didn't set the size and don't know how they decided on this size. I have a problem with fragments in transitions.
I created a sequence at this size using the Mobile & Devices ipod Preset and changing the frame size to 396 x 263. I then imported my videos and dragged them into the timeline. The videos were captured at 720 x 480. I resized the movie clips via the Effect Control / Motion / Scale and constrained the scale. When I add a Cross Dissolve to black (either the stage or a title with a black rectangle filling the entire frame) the transition between the black and video creates pink, blue or red fragments on the right side of the frame. These fragments are visible when I export the video to anything.
I have tried creating a 720 x 480 video and resizing/cropping the frame in the export settings but am unhappy with the blurriness of the type in the video due to the scaling from 4:3 to 396 x 263.
Anyone have any ideas why the fragments are occuring?

Sage,
Sorry to hear about the issue and glad that you solved it, or at least discovered a work-around.
But I'd like to mention I'm having the same issue, and would like to see if anyone else has any ideas as to what that might be.
I also included screen grabs of what the issue looks like at 200% within the Premiere Pro program monitor.

I want to 'dip to black' a mov clip at the beginning and end of a sequence, during the effect i notice a red, green, or blue rule on the right edge of the program panel.
Works fine in the remaining sequences within the same premiere project file.
I have resized the mov down and up, neither solved the problem. Also removed 'dip to black' and applied again, no good.

I have cross dissolve transitions set between images and videos, and I have the pan/zoom hold setting at "0." Despite the "0" setting, my images are static until the cross dissolve is complete. I want the pan/zoom feature to start the moment the subsequent image becomes visible. Is there a solution?

I am not sure if I am zeroing in on what you seek so please clarify...on
I want the pan/zoom feature to start the moment the subsequent image becomes visible.
Do you mean fading in visible versus or completely visible at the end of the transition? Whatever the case, I have not
found a scenario to fit what you are describing.
However, here are my suggestions for you to consider...
1. What is the alignment of the Cross Dissolve transition - Left Clip, Between Clips, or Right Clip. If Between Clips, please try Left Clip alignment.
2. What is the duration of the Cross Dissolve transition - you could try varying the transition duration. If less than 1 second, then please read the
details for minimum transition duration in the following

Please let me know if any of the above worked for you in what you were seeking regarding pan and zoom effect and video transitions.

Color not sending transitions and filters back to FCP 7

Hey People!
I'm currently editing a 30 minute doc for broadcast in Final Cut Pro 7. Before sending to color, I duplicated the master and made it into two 15 minute halves.
I left all transitions and effects intact, which I usually do. I only use cross dissolves. All video is on Track 1.
After correcting the first half I sent it back to FCP without an issue. Transitions and filters remained.
When I finished up with the second half and sent it back to FCP - there were no transitions or filters.
I've tried re-conforming and re-rendering but with no luck.
Any ideas/suggestions would be greatly appreciated. Thanks.

First off, there's no need to break it up into two sections. Color in FCP 7 handles 30 min sequences just fine. I've done 48 min ones fine.
So you exported an XML from FCP 7, and imported that into Color to reconform, and send back, and it didn't help? What codec are you sending to Color...?

Changing colors on Satin Transition.

I'm mastering a DVD in which the color violet is used a lot. I love the Red/Blue satin alpha transition, but wish it were purple. A big red/blue transition seems out of place.
I tried editing the video within the .dsptransition file, in quicktime...altering the color, saving it (it does save), but when I put everything back...it's still blue.
The other approach I had was to do a video filter on the blue, within Final Cut Pro, saving the file, putting everything back, but the alpha is off, and no fabric, just an a/b transition.
I hope apple could work this feature into future updates.

but the alpha is off,
You need to set up FCP for and export your satin clip using a codec that supports the Alpha channel such as Apple Animation.
Make sure the color depth is set to Millions+ the plus represents the Alpha channel.

Changing color scheme on Transitions and Themes

I would like to use the Newscast theme to create an iMovie; however, I CANNOT use the red color scheme for my audience. How do I change the color scheme for the transitions?
thanks in advance for any advise!

short answer: you can't.
long answer: most animations and 'moving' elements within iM are realized with a technology called QUARTZ. those animations are 'hardwired' in iM. You'd need a Developer-tool, tons of expertise and have to ignore the EULA you signed on installation/usage of iMovie, changing these parts of iLife.
I tried to change colors and fonts in some preset Titles - technically possible, but not within 'normal' usage
Make a enhancement suggestion, allowing iM to use plug-ins, add-ons, 'Jam Packs' in future versions of iMovie:

Colors using Apple TV versus a DVI to Video Adapter

Apple TV does not generate identical colors on my Panasonic flat screen (even when I adjust the screen's tint and/or colors) when I view iPhotos or videos (trailers, rented movies, homemade movies, etc.). However, Apple's DVI to Video Adapter (which only costs $19) does, and to perfection; the colors viewed on the Panasonic flat screen are identical to the images' colors on my MacBook Pro.
Does this make sense? Why wouldn't the more convenient Apple TV deliver the same results? Or is there something wrong with my $400 Apple TV?
Thanks for any advice.
Bob

You're still being a little 'cagey' and not giving us exactly the full information: "..The Apple TV is connected to the Panasonic flat screen via RBG component cables, run through a receiver.." ..the "receiver" is, presumably, a TV set or tuner. So is the Panasonic a TV set, or is it a dumb screen just connected - somehow - to a TV receiver?
You say "..For example, skin tones are way off, and a pink item in a photo can appear purple on the flat screen.." ..I'm not too good with colours, but it may be that your component connections are bad, and perhaps aren't making proper contact between your AppleTV and your "receiver" ..whatever that may be.
The component connections send specific colour ('chrominance') info, unlike the 'Video' (composite) output which sends the entire picture (all colours together) down a single cable, or the 'S-Video' signals which send colour (all together) and a separate brightness signal down different wires.
For a brief intro, see this 'Video Signal Standards' page ..or perhaps you already know all that.
It seems as if perhaps your component cables are connected to the wrong pins, have faulty connections, or your 'Component' input hasn't been properly selected on your Panasonic ..ahem: on your "receiver" ..or maybe your receiver's output is weirdly mismatched to your Panasonic screen.
Check your component connections at both ends: AppleTV and, er, "receiver". Pull them out one by one and see if there's a difference ..then put them back one by one ..or try putting them IN into different sockets. There's also a difference between analog and digital component connections: see the manual of your Panasonic and your, er, "receiver" to understand better what kind of incoming signal your equipment expects.
It could be just a loose wire, a wire in the wrong socket, or an incorrectly set up menu on your Panny - or your "receiver"!
Whoops - I've just re-read your last post: "..The Apple TV is connected to the Panasonic flat screen via RBG component cables, run through a receiver.."
The component cable are NOT "RBG" (..they're not even RGB, which is what I think you meant..) ..RGB (Red Green Blue) is not the component signal which the AppleTV provides: the ATV provides YUV component signals, generally referred to - or their connections on a TV (..or "receiver"..) designated by - 'YCbCr' or 'YPbPr' which would normally have sockets coloured whitish, bluey-green and red.
I think you've probably got your YPbPr wires crossed. The red, blue and green connections on the back of the AppleTV should NOT be attached to RGB connections on a TV (..or "receiver"..) but to the 'YCbCr' or 'YPbPr' sockets. If you have only 'RGB' sockets on the back of your (older?) equipment, that connection expects a different kind of signal, and the colours will be wrong. Maybe this article may help a little, or search with Google for more information..
Oh: and Winston says "..Have you tried toggling your HDMI setting on the tv, give all the settings (Auto/YCbCr/RGB) a whirl and see if this improves your experience.." Maybe you need to try switching the signal between YCbCr and RGB on the component output of your AppleTV (..if that's an option in its Settings menu; can't remember if it is or not..) to make sure that the output signal of your AppleTV matches the input which your other equipment is expecting!

Converting h.263 video?

I've got an old video file that I need to access, hopefully in Premiere so that I can put some music with it (it's a time lapse video that was initially encoded without any sound). Once I've put music with it, I need to upload it to Vimeo. According to MediaInfo, it's in Sorenson v. 2 in h.263.
Any suggestions?

Premiere Pro CS5 won't import H.263, more commonly known by the brand name "Sorenson Spark." From File formats supported for import:
Note: Premiere Pro CS5 can import FLV files with
video encoded using the On2 VP6 video codec; Premiere Pro CS5 can’t
import FLV files with video encoded with the Sorenson Spark video
codec. As with any unsupported format, transcode the file to a format
that Premiere Pro can import.
You can convert these with FFmpeg, or a GUI called WinFF. Some instructions and options here: Re: Video Converter
I did figure out a way to import these into CS5, but it involves AviSynth and a couple other tools; easier just to convert them directly.

H.263 videos

I have some precious videos in iphoto that play in iphoto that were taken in 09 with a cell phone. They play in iphoto but since they are very short I wanted to put them together in imovie and then put them on a dvd to preserve them.
imovie cannot see them because they are h.263?
Can this be done? And once they are on a dvd will they play back on any computer or dvd player?
I am using a macbook pro with iphoto 11 and imovie 09

Open the movies in the Quicktime player and select "Share to" and "iMovie" form the file menu. That will encode them in the best format for iDVD.

Multi-colored block noise bug in Adobe Premiere - DV video

When I edit a DV video in Premiere 6.5 sometimes the final DV video output will have this strange multi-colored blocks that last a frame or two, and it will have a loud violent hiss right there. It's not in the original DV video, and it won't be in the same place if I resave it. I can't figure out what's causing it. I blured the logo in the bottom left corner, but it's fine. It will look perfect with the video screwed up behind it. Anyone have any ideas what's happening, or have you run into this before??

Anything that does that "once in awhile" and "not in the same place" is most often caused by TSR software running in the backbround
That TSR software is doing "something" to the hardware that is stealing a few clock cycles or polling the system bus... and that causes problems with Premiere
You need to check what else is running in the background, and stop it if at all possible

Seeking Keynote transition triggered by completion of video or audio clip

I've searched for an answer, and not found it elsewhere, so I'm posing my question here.
In Keynote, the automatic transition from one slide to the next is a matter of the timing defined in the Inspector. One thing that seems to be missing is the ability to trigger a slide transition (or a build transition) upon the natural ending of a video or audio clip. In a complex slide, with many builds, with various timing, plus a voiceover audio clip, I seem to have to calculate the sum of all the build transitions and estimate the amount of delay I need to incorporate such that the clip completes before the transition, then it is a matter of Play & Edit to fine tune that timing. I'm looking for the ability to transition based on the completion of the clip - somewhat similar to the existing feature where a build element occurs, for example, "After Build X" (with a defined delay). Perhaps I need to be able to have multiple levels of build nesting. If anyone has solved this problem, or knows of the solution, please let me know.
The bottom line is that I am trying to get away from trial and error timing with slides containing video and audio clips.
Thanks,
Brian

Best transitions to use for web video

My client would like more transitions to 'smooth' some edits for a web video. The transitions should be pretty traditional (no checkerboard) but the main choices that look ok seem to be wipe and slide. Dissolves don't really look right.
Any ideas on this? Best ones to use? plug-ins? Thanks.

For anyone that has a similar issue to the one listed here, when editing an interview down to a 5-minute piece with no b-roll or stills, I found that using transitions like luminance map, and QT gradient wipe are some good options - for web viewing.

Motion 5 - Transitions with breaks in the video content? How?

I hope someone can help with this. I am trying to create a transition between two clips which while transitioning will show a text frame ot introduce the next video. I want it to break the flow between the videos. When I create the transition in Motion 5 I have assembled all the elements, made transition A last for 2 seconds, there is a 6 second gap then as the camera pans to the text element and then across to Transition B which itself then runs for 2 seconds.
This is how i designed it, it works fine in Motion and looks how I want it. However when I export to Final Cut and use in a project it creates the transition but it ignores the break i put between content A and content B. Instead I get 5 second tail out of Clip A and 5 seconds lead in on Clip B. Its driving me mad as I want both feeds to go quiet and do nothing while the text displays.
Does anyone know how I can get FCP to recognise the break I have put in Motion and therefore only tail each clip for 2 seconds not the entire duration of the transition?
If this cant bedone, how could I best acheive what im trying to do?
Thanks for any help that can be offered.
James

Try this first:
Select the Project "layer" and in the Inspector > Properties select Override FCP. This will "force" fcpx to use the timing you designated for your project as the length to use for the transition. Otherwise, FCPX uses the length you have set in fcpx preferences.

Strange colorful vertical lines when opening vlc or skype (video)

Well, this is my first post, and I am writing it because of a problem i encountered with my iMac (late 2008 model 20'', 2.4 GHz).
The problem is:
When I am video-calling on Skype, after a while the top left corner of my dock icons disappears... After some minutes my iMac display freezes with these vertical lines, usually green. The paradox is that I can speak to my skype buddy for some minutes but eventually it freezes completely and the only solutions is to turn it off by pressing the power button for six seconds. In the condition of the lines I can't sleep my iMac by pressing the power button once. The Same Problem I have when using VLC. Some more information: when the top left corner of my dock icons dissapears, if i sleep my mac and wake it, it reappears. I have read in other discussions that the problem with the disappearing corners of the dock icons has to do with the UI of the operating system. So I Am Asking, do you know what these vertical green lines are, if anyone has the same problem? How can I fix it? I believe that it has to do with the operating system or the UserInterface! This problem does not appear in a PowerBook G4 with PPC inside. I think is an Intel-based problem!
Last note: These lines are moving very slowly from left side to right side of the screen!
I had this problem when running on 10.5.5 and 10.5.6
Any Help is welcome!
I take two pictures of my iMac in this state and i want to share it! I Don't know how....

How do I transition a photo from B&W to color?

I have seen a video that has photo stills that gradually change from black and white to color. Does FCP have a way to do this? Or do slow transitions between effects or other video settings?

unfortunaely, color-corrections are not keyframe-able.
But in this case, the trick is simple:
• split your photo in the timeline
• color-correct #1 to b/w
• apply a sloooow dissolve
