Cropped JPEG picture files not dissolving smoothly in FCP

Working on a montage video here and when I try to do any type of fade in/fade out dissolve with picture files (that I've cropped in FCP under the Viewer's motion tab) the dissolve comes out looking strange. During the actual transition FCP is showing the entire uncropped picture, then once the transition completes it immediately beecomes my cropped version.
Any ideas?

jagaroo--
Also found this very frustrating when I first started(still do) working with photos in FCP...
1. Do as the others suggested.
2. Maybe you know this.... If you already have the pics in FCP and you want to crop a picture, right click on the pic in the timeline, choose open in editor from drop down menu, crop your pic in editor, save, then return to FCP which will automatically update it.
3. I have even (on a picture with no movement) done a "freeze frame". Replaced the pic with the freeze frame (FCP is now looking at the whole frame, instead of just the pic) and applied my transition.
Still wish there was a way that it would read the crop all the way through. Very frustating with edge
feathers also!!

Camera/jpeg picture number not shown in Photos ?

Hi In iPhotos the JPEG picture number was shown but cannot find this in Photos, has it been removed ?

There's an Automator workflow application that user léonie has posted that will put the file name into the Title field for any selected photos when it's run. It's in this user tip: Photos for Mac: Batch Changing the Titles to the Filename

Sending jpeg (pictures) files from my phone to my hotmail email come thru as txt files, but works fine with my friends

Picture files sent from my phone come thru as txt files to my email instead of jpeg. but when I copy to others it goes thru as jpeg fine.

Sorry let me correct something and give you some additional info. First I spelled .jpg wrong, and second my phone will send pictures to my mail 60 or so % of the time as .jpg and everything is fine but for no apparent reason some times they go thru as ,txt to my hotmail account email. I will also add if I copy a friend with the same picture they will get it as .jpg and be fine.

Relinked picture files not updating

Hi all,
To begin with, I am using final cut pro 10.0.8 on mountain lion 10.8.4.
The problem I'm having is that my media files are not updating in final cut pro x once they have been changed outside final cut pro. I'll explain what I'm doing:
1. I have imported some png files into my events and chose not to copy to my events folder. These picture files are used extensively in my project.
2. I have found that I need to make some changes to the png files. After making the changes in photoshop (the original file is psd and I save to png), final cut pro does not automatically update the new details even though when I click the event and choose reveal in finder, it takes me to the newly saved file that does have the changes. The file name and location did not change.
3. I then tried to manually relink the files, but it still does not update the new changes. What is interesting is that the info on the picture still refers back to the orginal details when the file was created. Again if I choose reveal in finder, it highlights the newly saved png.
4. I then decided to delete the original png file and empty the trash can. Final cut shows that the media is missing. I saved the png from photoshop again and final cut pro automatically relinked the file, but it is still the old image!
5. As a last resort, I trashed the original image again, resaved the png with a different name, relinked again. This time final cut updates the date it was created, but the image is still the old image!
No matter what I try to do, I can't get final cut pro to update the image. I dropped the png into the timeline and did and export hoping it was just displying the original image but would use the new image when it renders. Unfortunately, the movie it created had the old image still.
Obviously the image the event is pointing to is not the one it is using because I have double checked that the file saved has been updated outside of final cut. Is there something I am doing wrong? Or is there a bug with final cut pro? I'm suspecting it is using a chached file somewhere.
Thanks for your help,
Adrian

Tom, I followed your suggestion and final cut updated the png in the event viewer the first time, but refused to update any further changes I made. So I deleted the entire event, created a new one, and imported a new picture with different name, and could not get it to update again.
What is crazy is when I right-click on it in the event viewer and choose Reveal in Finder, finder shows the updates I made.
Now obviously this would not be suitable in my case, as I can't edit the png file since it has been flattened. I need to work on the photoshop file and then save over th png file. Surely I should be able to save over my png file (when I save as from photoshop) and final cut should see the changes.
Rgarding your question, the pictures I have are different angles of an office scene which will be my background for me green screen shots. I had to tweek a few parts of it and only then found that final cut didn't want to update them. Now that I have this problem, I don't want to continue any further until this is sorted out incase I have to make more changes.
I've only had this new computer for 8 days, so final cut has not been installed for long. But since no one else is having this proble, I'll trash final cut and download it again. Hopefully that will solve the problem.

Resize jpeg picture file.

Hi
How do i resize a jpeg picture (*.jpg) and save it in labview.?
eg. from 800x600 to 640x480.
thanks
Per

If you can get by with decimation, the answer is simple.
Anthony de Vries on 8/16/2001 answered this question.
He basically unflattened the flattened image out of the "Read JPEG" and then removed rows and columns from the pixmap matrix to shrink the image. If your JPEG must be arbitrarily scaled (i.e. can't be a 1:2, 1:3, 1:4, etc. decimation), you will have to do as IreneHe suggested and interpolate the values to match "fractional indices" of the new array. You should be able to use the array functions to do this.
After you decimate your pixmap matrix, send it through the flatten function and draw the flattened pixmap to your picture indicator.
I'm sorry I don't have exact function names. I am away from my LabVIEW machine at the moment.

Converting PDF to JPEG--tiny file, not full size image.

using photoshop cs3
End result is I want a jpeg of the same size as original. here is what i do and what happens.
open pdf in photoshop; save as "jpeg"
jpeg shrinks to an inch wide, from an original 8.5 inches.
I've tried saving with compression off, saving pdf in various formats, nothing seems to work and my jpegs always save out very tiny.
any help would be appreciated! thanks.

I opened the file I attached to my mail in Photoshop and that's when it went small. I just looked on Apple forum and found a little button on the bottom right that was compressing the file. I hit "actual size" and have fixed the problem.
It was a Mail problem, (or my problem:) not Photoshop or PDF.
Thanks for your time and response...

Trouble browsing phone, picture files not showing up

I think this might be the first time I've tried taking pictures off my phone since I had Leopard installed. Previously I had no trouble taking pictures off my phone and saving them to my computer, but now there are only two folders showing up when I browse the device, 'ftp' and 'vcard' neither of which is what I'm looking for. There is no trouble pairing or anything, but I don't know how to find the pictures on my phone anymore. It is a Samsung Blade (ah 900 or something) What is going on and what am I missing?

Instead of trying to 'pull' the pictures off the phone from the Mac, why not try sending the photos to the Mac from the phone.
Usually there's a 'Send via Bluetooth' (or similar) option within the pictures folder in the menus of the phone.
Also, have you enabled Bluetooth Sharing the in Sharing system preferences pane.

Converted C100 files not playing smoothly

My C100 files are jumpy and many times pixelate in Prelude. They play fine in Quicktime. Is there some way to change the default player in Prelude. When I choose this option In preferences, it only allows for Adobe Player. OR does anyone know of the best settings for converting C100 files?

Thanks for posting this question. Firstly I want to confirm with you, does 'C100' refer to Canon EOS C100? Does this issue happen when you connect your camero directly with computer? What is your computer OS (Macintosh or Windows)? Do you use Prelude CC version? Thanks.

XML file not taking transitions in FCP

I imported film into the only way I know how, through iMovie. I then exported it out as an XML file then into FCP. Started editing only to see none of the transitions I'd place between clips is staying. It just has a 'red X' come up when I am trying to apply the transition.
Don't recall having this issue. Is it the way I imported the film? Help!
**Also, is there another way to capture the film instead of through iMovie?

Of course. It's called Final Cut Pro.

Flip Video and .avi not playing clean in FCP

Customer gave me 10 flip videos which I imported - they cam in as .avi files. When I play them in Quicktime they are smooth. When I play them in FCP 7 there is some pixelation and jumping around (not playing smooth). I did create the .avi file as a .mov files using Quicktime and reimported into FCP. The new .mov file still plays the same with all the pixelation.
Read some threads but I'm still a little confused as to what steps to take next.
Bottom line - I want the .avi file to play smoothly within FCP
What am I missing - thanks for your help!
Shelley

I opened the .AVI file within the program. Then in the menu File menu within the program selected export as a Quicktime move. The specifics on the next screen I kept as default accept I increased the Quality to 100%. The default compressor was - Apple Motion JPEG A. That seemed to do it without any other tweaking for me.
I hope that helps.

I recently upgraded to iOS 8. Looks like the pics I had in my messages are no longer appearing as pictures, rather they are appearing as JPEG files (not broken jpegs). I need to get these pics. Can't figure out how to do it. I'm on an iPhone 5C.

I've tried resetting my phone, looking for the pics in the new 'deleted' folder. I tried forwarding the jpegs to sees if they'll appear in a new message (but turnout the phone won't let me forward these pics). Apple is trying to say it's the 30 day reason, but I know that is not the problem. ALl of my pics older than 30 days were viewable. It is the upgrade that screwed this up. Help! Important pics!

As for iPhoto, it sounds like you were trying to move files around in the library. That is a bib no-no in Aperture or iPhoto.

PSE 10 will not edit large picture files after it accepts them. After editing it either changes jpeg to psd or greys out the file. What must I do?

PSE 10 allows large picture files into the organizer and editor but after editing, saving, and closing, the jpeg returns to the organizer either with a psd file extension or as a greyed out broken photo icon . Why does it cause users to waste time editing files that are too large. How do I solve the problem?

I just upgraded to iPhoto '11. When it was finished many pictures do not appear. I have a black box but the information for the picture is still there. Some are raw and some are jpeg. Also lost all albums. Can anyone offer assistance?

Apply the two fixes below in order as needed:
Fix #1
1 - launch iPhoto with the Command+Option keys held down and rebuild the library.
2 - run Option #4 to rebuild the database.
Fix #2
Using iPhoto Library Manager to Rebuild Your iPhoto Library
1 - download iPhoto Library Manager and launch.
2 - click on the Add Library button and select the library you want to add in the selection window..
3 - Now that the library is listed in the left hand pane of iPLM, click on your library and go to the Library ➙ Rebuild Library menu option.
4 - In the next window name the new library and select the location you want it to be placed.
5 - Click on the Create button.
Note: This creates a new library based on the LIbraryData.xml file in the library and will recover Events, Albums, keywords, titles and comments. However, books, calendars, cards and slideshows will be lost. The original library will be left untouched for further attempts at fixing the problem or in case the rebuilt library is not satisfactory.

I need to save some pictures from iPhoto to a SDHC photo card for a digital frame and was wondering if there is a way to shrink or compress file size for each picture as I have already cropped the pictures? Thank you

Yes, you do this when you export the images from the Library.
File -> Export
in the Size section, you don't need images larger than the frame size, so you can specify that and in the Jpeg Quality you can select the amount of compression used.
This User Tip
https://discussions.apple.com/docs/DOC-4921
has details of the options in the Export dialogue.

When I open a picture file (jpeg) the picture goes away.

When I open a jpeg and crop it, the picture goes away. I can not do any more editing. If I "undo" the crop the picture returns. My wife tried to edit a couple of pictures and ended up losing them totaly. There is not any forum post that I can find that address's this. Of course there is not a phone # to call or chat to start. There is not even an email I can send. Has anyone else found this out.
Also I cant seem to sign in. When I went to sign in to the forums I was FORCED to change my password. I still can't sign in to my product with either password.
