Distorted text when rendering

Hi everyone,
I'm totally new here and I've been trying to teach myself Premiere for a while, but have come across a snag that I can't seem to find the answer to.
I'm creating a tutorial for work and I have video screen captures that are 1440X868 AVI files. I need to create a tutorial video that is 1280X720. The problem is that when I render the project, the text appears distorted and unclear. I've tried using the Crop video effect by taking off 1.6% from L and R. I've also tried cropping the source file in the Export window and even adjusting the output to 1440X868, but it still seems to have distorted text. I think it's due to pixel aspect ratio (?)
I know there's an easy fix for this and I feel pretty stupid, but my deadline is coming up in a few days and I need to get this solved. The project settings are HDV 720p with frame size 1280X720. If anyone can help, it would be hugely appreciated!

Distorted text when trying to merge files into single pdf

I am trying to merge several pdf documents into a single pdf. The pages are all distorted with missing words and random characters appearing here and there. I have combined these pages successfully using 'Assemble files into a PDF package' so I know the files are okay. Trying 'Merge files into a single pdf' is what creates the problem. I have tried this on Acrobat 8.0 and also 10. It is the same in both cases.
Help please!

Hello again. I took the long weekend off, so haven't replied for a while.
While trying to set up a few documents out of the package I wanted to create, I discovered that there
is only one file that is causing the problem.
The biggest problem is that it is a confidential financial file, and I'm loathe to put it up on the web.
I'm going to try to re-create the file without the confidential part, then send it to this forum. I can't
figure out why it should cause problems when all the others don't and they have all been created by
the same person with the same version of Office.
So thanks for your help so far. I really appreciate the quick response from a couple of you. I will get back to you.

Photoshop CC distorted image when zoomed out. Text, edges and Straight lines.

I get this distorted image when working on a file. When I zoom in its fine. But as soon as I zoom out all the lines, text , and edges start to become distorted. I've checked that all my drivers are up to date. I've re installed photoshop and still the same thing. Any Suggestions. ( files look fine when saved or exported, this just happens while Im working )

That looks like a Moiré pattern. Did you scan the image?
If not, can you tell us what operating system?
And is your video card driver fully up to date from the maker's website?

How to eliminate empty node space from tree when rendered property is false

Hi
I have created a menu Tree for my ADF BC application while working in JDev 10.1.3.3.
I have tried two methods, first is by creating a menu model as discussed in example in ADF Developers Guide Book Section 19.2.1. Second by creating two view objects and creating the menu tree from my database table.
Depending on the logged in user I want to decide whether to show or not to show a menu tree option to the user. For this purpose I have implemented a function in a managed bean that calls a pl/sql stored procedure to decide if the user has access to a certain component. In first case I have set the rendered property of the menu item to #{menuTree.shown}, where shown is an attribute in the menu model whose value is properly set using java functions that call pl/sql function in turn. In second method, I have also tried to set the rendered property and calling a function that returns true or false based on if the user has access to the menu option.
Problem
When rendered property is returned as false, although the menu option is not displayed but an empty space is displayed in my tree and remaining nodes and/or menu options are displayed with an ugly gap.
How I can remove this unwanted gap, is there a way?
Regards,
Amir
1st option:
My menu tree:
<af:menuTree var="menuTree" value="#{menuModel.model}">
<f:facet name="nodeStamp">
<af:commandMenuItem text="#{menuTree.label}"
action="#{menuTree.getOutcome}"
_rendered="#{menuTree.shown}_"/>
</f:facet>
</af:menuTree>
2nd option:
<af:tree value="#{bindings.MainMenuView.treeModel}" var="node">
<f:facet name="nodeStamp">
<af:switcher facetName="#{node.hierType.name}">
<f:facet name="MainMenuViewNode">
<af:outputText value="#{node.Name}" _rendered="#{userInfo.mainNodeOk}"_ />
</f:facet>
<f:facet name="SubMenuViewNode">
<af:commandLink text="#{node.Name}" _rendered="#{userInfo.mainNodeOk}_">
<af:setActionListener from="#{node.destinationUrl}"
to="#{menuTree.getOutcome}"/>
</af:commandLink>
</f:facet>
</af:switcher>

Hi,
if this reproduces in JDeveloper 10.1.3.4 then this sounds like a bug that you should file

AE CC 2014 Corrupted and Glitched frames when rendering to Quicktime

Ever since upgrading to the newest version of After Effects, I've been getting corrupted and glitched frames when rendering videos with a Quicktime holder. My normal workflow is rendering the video straight out of AE, but it also happens when rendering with Adobe Media Encoder, or even while using the "BG Renderer" script for AE that renders from the terminal. It happens whether I have multiprocessing enabled or not.
The corruption differs depending on what codec I'm using, but in the Cineform Codec it shows up as green frames:
On DNxHD they show up as Red frames (don't have a screencap of this one but you get the idea).
Using the QT Animation Codec they show up as static or distortion:
I have not found a codec that does not become corrupted when encased in the QT holder. Image sequences render out fine, and Cineform with an AVI holder renders out fine.
Even more strangely, I can fix the problem if I link the AE composition to Premiere, then render the QT file out through Premiere itself. The fact that Premiere calls and renders the Comp fine but AE does not, makes me think this is a bug in AE's treatment of Quicktime rather then a driver/system incompatibility on my end. But I'm certainly willing to try any suggestions the community might have for me =]

Adobe Reader 9 highlights text when scrolling in terminal server

Running a terminal server with WIndow 2003. Have Adobe 9 Reader installed. When a pdf is opened, it will look correct. However, when one uses the scroll bar on the right to see more of the document, text can be highlighted and change colors constantly when scrolling.
Test it outside of terminal server and it works fine. This issue did not happen with other versions of Reader. I have attached two samples one clean and one highlighted.
Any help is appreciated

Very cool. Thanks for the info!

Okay. Here is what I found. These settings are changed\saved under the User settings in the registry. Here is the key the changes are made to:
HKCU\Software\Adobe\Adobe Reader\9.0\Originals
When "NONE" is selected from Adobe Reader - Edit - Preferences - Page Display - Rendering, three DWORD values are added to the above mentioned registry key. These are:
Value Name - Value Data
*bAntialiasText - 0
benableDDR - 0
iAntialiasThreshold - 12*
I have added these lines to a login script that adds the necessary DWORD values to default the "Rendering" to NONE.
*reg add "HKCU\Software\Adobe\Acrobat Reader\9.0\Originals" /V bAntialiasText /T REG_DWORD /F /D 0

I can't reproduce this on a Nexus 5 and today's nightly build.

Graphics loosing quality when rendering

I´m importing some graphics rendered in AFX to Premiere CS3, and when I run in Premiere they are OK, but after I edit them in the sequence and render, they loose quality. For example, I have some text (orange color) over black background. When I render them in the sequence, the text looses quality, the text definition and the color degrade and it seems that there are two colors in the text. And some weird things are happening with fields too. When I import some footage rendered lower field first in AFX, they run smooth in the source monitor, but when I edit them in a sequence and render, the field order seems to be wrong.
I cannot figure out what´s happening.

In AFX I rendered using QuickTime animation codec
In Premiere CS3 I´m working with NTSC DV
Like I said, chances are your AE export is higher quality than your Premiere project, hence when rendered, the quality goes down. The Quicktime Animation codec is comparable to Uncompressed. When you compress it to DV by rendering, quality can suffer.

File Not Found Error When Rendering Motion Menu

Hi there.
I'm attempting to render a motion menu and keep getting the error "file not found". All of the necessary files are available and no specific missing file is mentioned.
The background video is a .m2v, and there is a .wav audio file too. They are 42 seconds long.
I tried other Encore projects and 2 others are doing the same thing, or coming up with a 'General Error'.
I have cleaned the Database in the Media Cache. I have uninstalled and reinstalled Encore. There are no updates available.
Any suggestions?
Thanks,
David

Yeah, it would have taken me quite a while to redo the menus completely! So I was very thankful for the save to menu template option.
When I (not recently, thank goodness!) have a project I suspect of corruption, I create a new project, and just "import as menu" from the old menu subdirectory. The method you used deletes the menus, so exporting the menus helps.
Mac OS 10.6.8
That's Snow Leopard, right?
Actually, I'm not really sure about Encore terminology (this was my first project), but the only motion I have in my menus is the line that appears under the button text when that button is highlighted. At one point I had the photo buttons (for videos) set to animate, but I removed that option.
A highlight is just a highlight, not "motion." Animated buttons, when rendered as the menu, are actually a video background, so that was a motion menu.
All 30 slideshows are actually individual video timelines. They were created and exported from Photosho Lightroom 3.
In Encore terminology, those are just videos - many Encore users choose to do slideshows as videos.
I had originally tried creating each one as a slideshow from within Encore, but I was DEEPLY dismayed by how slow Encore became, evetually locking up at least once per hour. It was ridiculous, even taking into account the fact that it is not a 64-bit program. I planned to leave 2 of the songs as Encore slideshows (Lightroom can't do Pan/Zoom), but in the end I had to replace them with mp4s because the slideshows just would not play. Really, it was about 11 wasted days plus 4 productive days to get me through the project!
Encore has a variety of problems with slideshows, but I suspect from your description that you were using very large images. Scaling them down a bit can improve performance.

Grainy text when saved for web

Why do graphics with text and/or images in Fireworks CS5 become more grainy or blury when saved/exported for web use? Compared to results in Photoshop, text, image and graphic rendering when saved for web in Fireworks is lower quality or poor (grainy and blurry). Why?! Should I not use Fireworks and only use Photoshop CS5? Isn't Fireworks designed for creating web graphics? If so, what am I missing? Any help would be appreciated.
Brian

Yeah, I'd encourage you to use whatever works for your situation.
I should have asked you to include a screenshot of your original for comparison. I do see obvious JPEG artifacting around the letters as well as the images; this graphic has a lot of flat color, which would prompt me to try saving it as a GIF or PNG-8 (or even a PNG) instead of a JPEG.
The cover images do look quite blurry, but I suspect they must look blurry in your original as well. Incidentally, if you saved these graphics as symbols, you could resize them multiple times in your layout without losing any quality—kind of like Smart Objects in Photoshop. (I'm assuming they might have been larger initially?) Also, you could check your Preferences to see what Interpolation method is being used when resizing. This could impact the appearance of the cover images, if they are being resized.
Text rendering is tricky at small sizes. Making a seemingly minor adjustment to the pixel size can have an impact on how the text is rendered at this small of a size, depending on the font. As far as anti-aliasing goes, System Anti-Alias can be a good choice, sometimes; you might also explore the Custom Anti-Alias option. You might also have smoother results if you create the layout at twice the size (or more) initially—a display font will look better when rendered with more pixels—and then output it at half size.
An interesting thing about Photoshop: If you zoom in to the highest setting, you can use the arrow keys to create subtle adjustments to the text rendering, depending on what kind of aliasing you've applied.

How do I select the entire text when the focus is moved to one TextBox?

How do I select the entire text when the focus is moved to one TextBox?
There are three TextBoxes. I use <TextBox TabIndex="1"/> to set the order they are selected. When I enter one specific TextBox, I would like to have the entire text selected ... one key stroke removes all of the text in that TextBox.
bhs67

I do it the following way:
1. Override the OnStartup for the application. Use the following code: (VB.NET)
EventManager.RegisterClassHandler(GetType(TextBox), TextBox.GotFocusEvent, New RoutedEventHandler(AddressOf TextBox_GotFocus))
2. In the event handler use this code (again VB.NET)
Private Sub TextBox_GotFocus(ByVal sender As Object, ByVal e As RoutedEventArgs)
_theTextBox = CType(sender, TextBox)
If setFocusTimer IsNot Nothing Then
RemoveHandler setFocusTimer.Tick, AddressOf setFocusTimer_Tick
End If
setFocusTimer = New DispatcherTimer
setFocusTimer.Interval = TimeSpan.FromMilliseconds(10)
AddHandler setFocusTimer.Tick, AddressOf setFocusTimer_Tick
setFocusTimer.Start()
End Sub
Private Sub setFocusTimer_Tick(ByVal sender As Object, ByVal e As System.EventArgs)
setFocusTimer.Stop()
_theTextBox.SelectAll()
End Sub
What this does is register a handler for every textbox in your application. This will execute when the GotFocus event is raised and will allow you to do whatever (in this case select all) you want. A great way of handling things at the application
level.

How can i show input text when no row present in database.

Hi All,
I am using Jdeveloper 11g Release1(11.1.1.4.0)
I have created EO and VO which is based on that EO.
By using Vo i have designed .jspx page ,on that page i have taken adf form which is based on that VO.
My problem is when database table is blank (i.e zero row) then input text on page not displayed.
I want to show blank input text when such condition occurs.
Thanks
Imran.

Hi,
You can set ExecuteWithParams as default activity in the task flow then method activity to return total no of rows passing to Router activity if your method has value 0 then call Create insert operation else do directly to page.
Following idea could be your task flow
Execute With param (default) > SetCurrentRowWithKey > GetTotalNoOfRows (VOImpl Method)
|
v
Router
1. If pageFlowScope outcome is 0 then call CreateInsert > MyPage
2. if pageFlowScope outcome > 0 then MyPage
hope it helps,
Zeeshan

Help!! idvd freezing when rendering audio

PLEASE..I need help!! I make a movie for my students at the end of the school year. I put together a movie in imovie and then sent it to idvd. When I finished with the idvd part and went to burn it, my idvd would stop responding after about an hour when it came to the final part when rendering the audio. I find I have to force quit the program and start over. I've tried it 4 times and it happens every time in the same spot. I never had this happen before. Thanks for any help you can give me!!

Like I said!
This question is frequently asked!
iDVD is probably not 'hanging'. Disregard any messages that iDVD is not responding. It is. Do not force quit.
Encoding audio is the slowest part of rendering, and can take many hours. Great patience, even an intermittent alternative hobby, is called for.
Make sure no other application is running, make sure you have not set the hard disk to go to sleep and that the screen saver will not come on. Leave it overnight, or have a 36 hole game of golf.
Sooner or later iDVD will finish!

IMovie audio issues. Fine in timeline, but when rendering to iTunes or Media Browser, audio from certain portions of movie files are heard in places where it shouldn't be !

iMovie 11 audio issues. Fine in timeline, but when rendering to iTunes or Media Browser, audio from certain portions of movie files are heard in places where it shouldn't be !
I have created a project where I have a montage of photos and video clips edited together with music under. Some audio portions of the video files are being muted in some areas and those portions are being heard in another part of the project. This is not for all video clips only certain ones.
The project plays fine in the timeline, but when I render the project thru iTunes or Media Browser, this is when the project goes corrupt.
I tried detaching the Audio from the video clips and this somewhat worked, but the original problem still exists with certain audio still being heard where it's not supposed to be.

I have a fix - or rather, a workaround.
WARNING: It is lengthy, but still far better than starting a new project from scratch.
I had this same issue and none of my transitions/clips were at custom speeds, nor did I have anything else weird going on. Unfortunately there is nothing you can do within iMovie to fix this, at least there wasn't for me. iMovie is BY FAR the buggiest software I have ever used and if you haven't already spent hours slaving away on a project, you are so much better off using just about anything else to edit your video.
...But let's assume you have already spent many hours working on your project and you don't want to start all over. Well then, you have at least one option.
It's a pain in the neck, but it's infinitely better than restarting your project from scratch.
This will require:
A software called Soundflower (which is free) and some kind of audio editing software (I use Logic, but really any should work).
1.) You're going to need to export your video with the messed up audio. Typically if you're audio is messing up, you're video is at least usually working just fine (at least it always does for me).
2.) You're going to need to open that video in your audio software and import only the audio. If your software doesn't give you this option, then you're going to need to record the audio from your video using the audio software and Soundflower. You can find tutorials on how to do this, but it's honestly pretty straightforward once you start playing around with you Mac's audio I/O settings. Remember to have your computer's volume all the way up when doing this.
3.) Watch/listen to your video and make notes of where the audio errors occur. I HIGHLY RECOMMEND writing down times too, as they will be extremely helpful later.
4.) Now were going to rip some working audio from the iMovie project itself. Go back into your iMovie project and only play back audio while in the edit window for this step. Do NOT play your project back in full screen.
This part is key: if you try to play back your project from the beginning the audio will usually still mess up. So, what you're gonna have to do is go back on your edit window timeline right before these errors occur and play that specific clip back while recording this working audio with Soundflower and your audio software. Essentially we're only recording the parts of the audio where these errors occur, so try to do this in order if you can. Try to leave several seconds of audio in before the error - that way we can use it as reference when we construct our new audio track.
5.) Now in your audio software you should have your original error-filled audio track and the new clips that we just captured. This part can be painstaking if you're not familiar with audio editing softwares, but as you'll learn, it's really not that hard.
You're going to look at your original audio track and compare it to your new working audio clips. You should be able to notice where those new clips are supposed to go by looking at the identical (or close to identical) waveform shapes in your original audio track. The two should correspond with one another. If you don't understand what I mean right now, you will when you start playing around with the audio. This is why marking times is very important.
Take your new clips and split them up if you haven't already, that way you can drag them around and edit them separately from one another. Essentially your going to line these new clips up with original and then replace the original parts with new ones.
We need to get this as precise as possible, so start off by getting them as close as you can with your naked eye, and then use a zoom tool to zoom in as much as possible so that you can get them lined up PERFECTLY, or at least extremely close. In some softwares you can just drag these new clips on top of the old track, but most of the time you will need to actually cut out the old piece and replace it with the new one. In doing this, zoom in and make sure that you are NOT cutting out a bigger space than your new clip will fill - otherwise you will have small gaps in your audio.
VERY IMPORTANT: Also make sure that this new audio track starts at the EXACT SAME time as your original - otherwise your new audio will be out of sync.
I know this part can really suck if you're not used to audio editing, but at this point, there is little other choice.
6.) Once you are done with this, export your newly pieced together audio track.
7.) Now open iMovie and create a NEW project. Re-import the video that you exported earlier that has the messed up audio. This might take a while, so just be patient.
8.) Then right click the clip and select "Detach Audio". This will do just that - allowing you to edit the audio separately from the video. Now delete this audio.
9.) Now, import the new, perfect audio track that we just made and make sure that it starts at the start of the project. Make sure it's in sync and that everything works.
Now just export your new video with the working audio and you should be done. Since we have given iMovie the audio with no editing actually being done in iMovie, it does not have to generate its own audio now and you should have absolutely no errors now - unless there is some that you forgot to take out earlier.
YOU'RE FINALLY DONE!!!
I know this entire process *****, but if you're that far into your project, there is little else that you can do. Now you've learned your lesson:
DON'T USE IMOVIE EVER AGAIN.
I hope this helped!
