CS4 - Unwanted ghosting effect showing up in all videos - Similiar to an onion skin

I'm having some sort of weird ghosting effect on all my videos in Premiere Pro CS4. It's similiar to an onion skin that shows the previous frame. It shows in the timeline preview and when I render out the video. I've never had this problem before until just a few days ago. It even shows up in old premiere files that I made weeks ago that didn't have this problem at the time. I've even tried working on a different computer using a different Premier CS4 and had the same problem.
Is anyone else experiencing this or have I gone crazy?

The videos are 30fps and so is the project.
Are you sure of that? That's definitely frame blending, which occurs in two instances: when a clip has been explicitly time-altered (e.g. from 100% to 33.33%), or when a clip's frame rate does not match your sequence frame rate. For instance, your clips might actually be 30fps, but your sequence is probably 29.97fps--a minor difference, but enough to cause the problem you're seeing.
Confirm the true frame rate of each of these, and if they're different, you can put the clips in the correct sequence, or you can interpret your clips to match the sequence--a change of 30 to 29.97fps is not going to cause any weird slow downs.

Unwanted strobe effect showing on rendered clips - Adobe CC 2014

I'll try and describe the issue as best as possible - I haven't been able to find any similar issues by googling or on forums.
As a bit of information about the project it's adobe CC 2014 with a mix of c100, c300, Gopro and various other footage so a mix of .MTS, .MXS and Mp4 files. All stored and edited from external hardrive via USB 3.
I started out by having red frames appear when I scrubbed through footage on the timeline, and then they appeared in the actual exported file - which from googling seemed to an issue with media encoder not being able to render the source clip properly.
As part of the fix which seemed to work to get rid of the red frames I moved the media cache files from their default location users>library>applicationsupoprt>adobe>common to a render folder which I created on the external hardrive. To be specific I manually deleted media cache and media cache files then created the folder on the external drive and directed adobe to put the files there. That got rid of the red frames but a few days and a different project later I started getting a strobe like effect where every other frame on a few (seemingly random) clips is black, except for the top left corner which shows the image in part. When the footage is unrendered (red on timeline) it plays back fine. When it's rendered the strobe effect happens everytime on playback and with export. All clips it happens to are c300 clips, but there are plenty of c300 clips in the timeline it doesn't happen to. All clips have the same effects on them.
I've made all clips offline, and reconnected media. I've uninstalled and reinstalled adobe CC desktop and all apps about 3 times and used Adobe cleaner to get rid of files then reinstalled. Nothing seems to work. I have noticed that even though the media cache files are redirected to the external drive now, it still creates a media cache folder in the default location and puts some render files there. Perhaps it's something to do with these duplicate render files???
Hope that makes some sense.
Anyone else had this happen?
Any help/advice would be much appreciated. It's for a TVC and needs to be delivered next week.

Thanks Simon, I think you're right.
I seem to have narowed ig down to being a combination of the 'warp stabilisation' effect plus a vignette (made from black video and 'circle' effect).
Whenever these effects are both on, and the clips are rendered I get the strobe effect, but if one or the other is off I don't anymore.
At least I can export the edit with warp stabilisation effect, and then add the vignette to the exported clip - not ideal but a work around.
Hope it get's fixed soon.

The new photobooth effects show up in iChat and Photobooth but do not do anything at all

I'm asking for a friend. The effects show up and everything but when selected they act as if I've selected original. Is there a fix yet?

What they do is detect your face and add an overlay graphic to it. Make sure that you are in a well lit area, or these effects will not work. Also make sure your face can be seen easily, no glasses, sunglasses, hoodies w/ hoods up, etc. Hope this helped.

Graphics bug making software unusable. "Ghosting" effect whenever scrolling through piano roll or tracks window

As stated in the title, a bug has started plaguing my copy of Logic Express 9 ever since I updated to Yosemite. Whenever I scroll back and forth through the tracks window or the piano roll, this sort of ghosting effect appears and makes manipulating anything onscreen impossible. I have found no other mentions of this problem on the support forums, but this issue has made the software completely unusable. Here is a screenshot of the bug:
If anyone has experienced this problem and found a fix, please let me know.
thanks

Thanks Erik,
If nothing else, this huge list of updates and fixes, shows clearly that the Logic Dev team is working hard on fixing and improving LPX to a major degree.... and from the list of fixes done.. show they do read the bug reports submitted!
As an aside....
I recall how all the 'naysayers' prior to LPX (and in some cases, since...) were proclaiming how Logic was dead, the team was being disbanded, we won't see any further development, the Dev team doesn't listen or care... and so on....... I wonder where those people are now?

Unwanted shadow effect?

Hello Acrobat Forum:
I've had an annoying problem with PDF created from InDesign CC for months now, and I can't figure out what's wrong because it seems intermittent, and I can't narrow the variables to figure out when it's happening or why.
Sometimes, a PDF I create from InDesign has an unwanted shadow effect under much of the text, and the colors come out dull and darker. Here is a screenshot of the same PDF file exhibiting the problem and one that does not exhibit it.
Oftentimes, I will export a PDF and it's fine, but then I'll edit something and re-export it, and from that point on, any number of exports to PDF will result in a drop-shadowed file. The drop shadow effect is present at all view magnifications except extremely zoomed in (~1600%)....then it goes away, but the colors are still too dark.
When I export PDF, I am using the same preset I've created each time (including the same ICC profiles), but the results can vary for some reason....
NO PROBLEM:
PROBLEM:
I did manage to find a small discussion about a similar problem, and the suggested solution was to use "Gracol" as the ICC profile the PDF is forced to use during export. That is not a good solution since many times, people I send files to for review will preview PDF attachments in web-based email browsers whose PDF plugins don't support anything but sRGB....
Any ideas what is causing this problem? Or, when it occurs and when it won't? Or, what solutions there might be?
Thanks for reading!

Unwanted special effects in iMovie 6

Macbook pro OSX 10.6.8 iMovie 6
I know i should upgrade but the newer iMovies are not intuitive and v6 does everything i need it to.
Some unwanted special effects are suddenly appearing in my iMovie 6, flying saucers, fireworks, balloons floating thru, flipping, waving screens. I think it must be coming from some shareware installation i looked at for some special purpose, maybe masking or subtitles, but i cannot find any on my computer, (except MeditEdit).
Importing directly from my camera, which i frequently do, is totally messed up.
I have thrown away all the preferences i can find but they keep coming back everytime i open the application iMovie.
Where are they?
What software installed this?
How do i shut it off or kill it?
Help.

Hi
First
• trash iMovie pref files - in User library/preferences - You've said You've done that
• repair permissions - Disk Util tool
Then You can now look into User library/iMovie and here Plug-ins
• I moved all of them out onto DeskTop/Finder - when iMovie IS NOT running.
• Now test iMovie
Alt: Start a new User Account
• Log into this
• Re-try iMovie
Does it run OK now ?
Yours Bengt W

Adobe Dynamic Link will not work - Premiere Pro CS4 to After Effects CS4

Hello,
I am edited a video with a deadline, I'm importing a sequence from Premiere Pro CS4 to After Effects and making edits in After Effects. I'm able to import the Premiere Pro sequence into After Effects using Dynamic Link, but I go back to Premiere Pro and nothing has changed. Then I have to export the 21 minute long video in After Effects and that takes about 12 hours, that I can't afford. I don't know what I'm doing wrong, before I imported the timeline into AE, while I was in Premiere Pro I right clicked it and selected -Edit original. It took me to the .mov that I imported- since it's a redo. I learned how to use Dynamic Link from this tutorial-
http://tv.adobe.com/watch/learn-cs4-production-premium/using-dynamic-link/
At first when Dynamic link didn't work I thought it was because I was cutting the imported Sequence from Premiere Pro in After Effects becasue I was motion tracking. When you import a Premier Pro sequence can you cut it into individual layers in After Effects?

That doesn't create the type of Link you want here. In this case, changes made to PP would show up in AE. You want the reverse. (And you can only go one way, not both.)

How come under the "Library Tab" some of the Presets effects show as empty Files thus rendering them unusable?

How come under the "Library Tab" when I select a specific Channel, some of the Presets effects show as empty files thus rendering them unusable?

No problem at all, thks for your reply. I did not download from the App Store. I bought the full Logic Studio software back in 2008 so I have all the disks.
I did look on the Library/Application Application Support/Logic/Plug-in Settings and there are 26 files listed and I recognize quite a few that i have been using that seem to work OK. But somtimes, as you know you can click on say, EFM1 but then by clicking on that, you have to choose another on of the option effects such as 07 Warped FM and then to Aqua Enchant befoer you can be finished selecting what you need. This is where I run into the lost content. Actually I have a book I' learning from called Logic Pro 8 Beyond the Basics and it hands on exercises to do, the books written well, and I'mn dong well with it, but if you have a major question you must ask, thats when I need help otherwise you can't proceed further.
But back to to The File incons Library/Application Application Support/Logic/Plug-in Setting yes, I do sse the 26 File Folders and the folder icon is Blue which looks correct, however, when I try to open those files, there appears to be no content inside of them. I'm not saying this is abnormal as I dont' really know, I'm just reporting back. So does this mean that the files are in fact missing content?
By the way, some of the plug in settngs in the Library work fine and those files show up as "blue" color but LIbray always lets me know when the files show a white "Zero." in the file.icon.

InDesign CS4 treats corner effects differently than in CS3

Hello,
I need to fix 4000 inline graphic boxes because InDesign CS4 treats corner effects diiferently than in CS3.
See the problem here: http://indesignsecrets.com/cs4-treats-rounded-corner-objects-differently.php
Because the designers used this trick, I need to fix all the inline graphic boxes in CS4 for a reprint. I'm sure many more designers are going to open their old documents and find the same thing. All my inline graphic frames are suppose to just have one corner that is rounded. Short of selecting every frame individually and converting it to a rectangle, then running the Corner Effect Script on each one, I was wondering if Adobe planned on fixing this issue in a future release.
Thanks,
Rob

Hi Bob,
A script or Find/Change will work fine for one small book, but in checking with some other editorial departments, we have the potential for tens of thousands of pages we will have to adjust, and since these boxes appear every few pages (and most of these pages are seperate documents), you can imagine the impact on production time and cost. We really need something that is a more formal fix.
Going back to CS3 is currently not an option here at McGraw-Hill, as we have just finished the upgrade process for hundreds of users.

Can I swap the power supply on my iMac G5 without any unwanted side effects?

Hi All,
I'm new and have searched related posts, but have not found an answer to this exact question.
I have a first generation US version iMac G5. The label says that the power supply is 100-120V. Can I swap the power supply using an internationally rated power supply (100-240V) from a later version iMac G5 without any unwanted side effects? Such as the iMac G5 ALS power supply?
I live China and would prefer not to rely on an external power suppressor or convertor. I would prefer to plug and go.
Thanks,

Ghosting effect - Is it a frame rate problem?

I've just made a music video lyric video (I'm still really new to movie editing) and there's this ghosting effect. Does anyone know what may cause it? Is it a frame rate problem, or the frame blend thing?
Here's the cliup on YouTube: (You can really see the ghosting when you watch it in HD.)
I'm using Adobe Premiere Pro CS4 on Windows 7 (32 bit)

hmm, looks like you need to read a few things maybe...to understand some stuff.
Here's some links I got from google for you
NTSC
Short for National Television System Committee. The NTSC is responsible for setting television and video standards in the United States (in Europe and the rest of the world, the dominant television standards are PAL and SECAM). The NTSC standard for television defines a composite video signal with a refresh rate of 60 half-frames (interlaced) per second. Each frame contains 525 lines and can contain 16 million different colors.
The NTSC standard is incompatible with most computer video standards, which generally use RGB video signals
============
info about aspect ratios... and better to scale down than up...or just stay the same as source.
http://www.techsmith.com/tutorial-camtasia-understanding-dimensions-prior.html
================
Soooo, you didnt export ntsc and it looks like you upscaled to 1080p but a different fps than original also.
In gereral if you start at say 24fps and make it 30fps, your editor has to "make" new frames ( add 6 per second ) and it does that by creating new frames out of what you have on timeline. Sometimes a VBR 2 pass will give you better results than 1 pass, but you have to experiment a bit ( just export small section of timeline for tests...and try to use area where you see your "ghosting" ).
good luck

Rotoscoping to add ghost effect? HELP!!!

I am working on a project where I need to create a ghostly effect. I have CS5 and used Rotoscoping to slect the actors and add the effect.
However, sometimes the selection process is amazing! it doesn't need to be to the edge perfect but the rotoscope mask sometimes juts out or wiggles a lot which looks weird.
I was wondering if anyone could make some suggestions for how to fix this? Whether it be settings or tips for using rotoscope? or a whole new selection method.
I really need to get this working and I've attempted to go through frame by frame and fix the rtoscope too many times... thanks!

Your terminology is unclear. "Rotoscoping" covers all techniques and processes used to isolate elements in the footage, not just a single one. per haps you rather mean "Rotobrush"? That would make a lot more sense based on your description and that already takes us to the center of it all: You used it on compressed footage and naturally the automatic edge detection will therefore yield rather crude results due to the blocking and jitter all the way. You can paint for another hundred years and it won't go away. It's just how the tool works. Therefore, manually adding an additional level of cleanup using conventional paint tools or masks animated frame by frame is the only way to resolve the issue. There is no simple answer here. Salvaging a poorly shot scene is just a ton of work. Of course, if you can, simply reshoot using a green screen, otherwise you may wish to cancel all your social activities for the next few days and dig yourself in trying to fix this...

Is there a way in Pages to show and print all the added "comments?" (those you add by highlighting text) I'd like students to be able to view my comments on printed version of their papers.

I movies synced to cloud do not show up on all devices

I have been putting old home videos into iMovie and some show up in my theater on my Mac, others on my iPad and still others on my Apple TV. Not all videos in all places. Some duplicates, but others only show up on one device. When I try to download from the cloud, not all of them show up and, even some of them that show are not accessible for download. What am I doing wrong? What settings do I need to check?
