Edit one still image in PS and entire timeline needs re-rendering in FCP6

I've been using FCE 3.5 and FCP5 for quite some time. My projects usually have a large number of still image pct files in them. Before changingg to FCP6 (because I'm working on a 1080p project) when i would need to edit a still image that was already in my time;line, I would open it in Photoshop, make the changes, save it, and when I returned to FCP 5 or FCE3.5, only that portion of the timeline where the item appears would need to be re-rendered. But with FCP6, even if the edited image is only in aa small part of the timeline, the entire timeline is red and needs to be re-rendered. Any idea what is causing this major problem? I never change the dimensions of the file or the type. I might just adjust brightnesss ro do some in-painting, etc.

Cick anywhere in your timeline. Type Command + 0 {zero} to see your sequence settings. Either report those settings or post a screen shot here.

  • Need Help Pasting Key Frames from one still image to others, and Changing the duration of multiple still images.

    I'm working on a stop motion project, and I have at least a thousand still images to work with.
    I have adjusted several Key Frame settings on the 1st still image in my project, such as
    Brightness
    Cropping
    Scale
    Position
    I now want to apply these exact settings to hundreds of still images at a time that make up one scene in the project (but not all still images in the entire project).. Is there a way to paste or easily transfer them?
    Also, there are scenes I'm working on in which I want to change the image duration of hundreds of photos at once, but not change to duration of all images in the project, is this possible?
    I've looked at several different web-links, but none of them have what I'm looking for. If you can please help me, I'd be willing to send you $10 through paypal. Knowledge is power; the solution to these problems would save me hours of time. If you don't fully understand my questions I can send you a pictures or a video, pointing out my needs.

    Stan,
    Thanks again for your input.
    When the project is created, I don't recall seeing the preference settings until after the project opens the first time.  In that case if certain media was imported into the project panel but not in the sequence, after the duration was changed, it would be necessary to remove the media from the project panel then re-import again.  If there is a workaround to this please let me know.  It also doesn't appear that creating a new sequence would prevent the re-importing.  Could you confirm?
    Thanks for the link on automating to sequence--I remember that from CS4.
    The application of identical effects to media on the timeline in a sequence was something I had learned back in CS3 or maybe earlier CS4 where the effected, in this case a transition between images was applied then copied then using the paste or (Control V) command, applied to all other stills.  That worked fine but with lots of images, it ends up being a lot of "point and clicks" since the CTI must be moved to each transition insertion point before the paste is applied. 
    I actually thought that I had seen someone select the remainder of the images in the sequence then apply the paste command but I was never able to make that work.  Have you heard of such a short-cut?
    Much thanks again!!

  • How to make a podcast with one still image with iMovie 09

    I'm using trying to transfer my podcasts to Vimeo. I've been using iWeb to create a person web site with video and podcasts. I have embedded Vimeo with "html snippet widge." I want to do the same thing with audio, however Vimeo only accept "video" files.
    In my attempt to work around Vimeo's video issues, I had the idea to use iMovie 09 to create a "video file" using a single still image with my audio podcast play in the background. The single image would be consistent for the entire length of the audio. It seems simple...one still image file and one audio file.
    All of my audio files are less than 45 minutes in length. The problem is that when I insert an image in iMovie I can't get it to last for more than 10:00 minutes of my podcast. I've had to drag the same image over several times, extend each image's length to 10:00 minutes until I have enough images to last the full length of the audio file.
    I'm sure there's a simple way to do this with one image, used one time, and have the audio added.
    Anyone understand my situation and have a good idea?

    The most efficient method would be for you to do this in iMovie 6. You can download a version if you don't already have it on your computer. http://supportdownload.apple.com/download.info.apple.com/AppleSupport_Area/Apple_Software_Updates/Mac_OSX/downloads/061-3532.20070807.nq3ER/iMovieHD6.dmg
    Put all your clips into a new iMovie project, in the order you wish them to play. Use the chapters tab and add chapter markers for each clip (except the first one; iDVD will add that one for you). Close iMovie.
    Open an new iDVD project. Use the Media tab, then Movies, to locate your new iMovie. Drag and drop it onto the main iDVD window, taking care not to drop it into a drop zone. You should then see the title of your movie and the two options: Play Movie (which will play all the clips sequentiallly) and Scene Selection (which will take you to submenu(s) where you can select which clip to view).

  • Using still image in FCP and Motion

    I'm using still images in Motion (and FCP) and exporting them to Quicktime movie files. What's the best size and resolution for the images and are JPGs or TIF best? I'm exporting for 720 X 480, and currently my JPGs are 4 x 6 at 300 dpi with a pixel width and height of 1312 x 2000. I'm adding some behaviors to the images in Motion (motion paths and shrink/grow).
    My FCP project is setup as a DV NTSC 48kHz, 720 x 480, editing timebase=59.94, timecode Rate=same as editing timebase, compressor-DV/DVPRO-NTSC, quality 100%.
    When I export to Quicktime the movies are very low quality--lots of noise and moire pattern etc.
    How do I get the best qualtiy using still images? Is it my FPS setting, image pixel size, compressor setting? Also, do the movies need to be deinterlaced?
    The preview in the FCP browser and canvas looks a little better but I do notice noise (moire patterns) along the sharp edges of the still images.
    I've seen QT movies of these very same images (done by someone else who is no longer around) and they are much better quality.
    Does anyone have an appropriate workflow for this type of project? The final movies are to be shown on a flatscreen monitor from a local computer, so the file sizes can be relatively large (300mb).
    I can post an example of he movie files if that might help.
    Thanks.

    David, your a genius!!! You posted your reply on my birthday, and I missed it until today!
    Fotomagico is devastatingly easy to use and absolutely makes me want to cry at the amount of time I wasted creating photo slideshows in FCP!
    I opened Fotomagico up and created a slideshow, one that I had already created in FCP and had take me FIVE HOURS to create... in TEN MINUTES!!!!!!!!! Aaaaaaaaah.
    I couldn't believe it. I thought there had to be a catch or something. This was too easy the quality can't be there... but it was. It's amazing and I can't thank you enough for all the future hours you have saved for me.

  • How can I edit a still image so that I can float it over the video?

    I would like to edit a still image so that I can float it over the video - How would I save the image in Photoshop so that just the image and not the background can be imported into Final Cut and the footage behind it still shows up?
    Thanks

    You need to either create an Alpha channel or cut out the area of interest and paste it into a transparent Photoshop document. You can save the former as PSD, TIFF or PNG. Save the latter as TIFF with transparency enabled (shows up in TIFF Options at step 2 of the save dialog).

    hi one guy stolen my iphone, and now i need my pictures which i have in my icloud i open my Apple id in icloud but i downlode just 20 pic how i got my all picturs in my pc?

    Update:  I reset my phone again and this time I restored it from my last iCloud backup.  That "sort of" worked.  (The missing info was on my phone temporarily, but it's still missing from iCloud.com and as the phone syncs with the cloud the missing contacts are disappearing.) 
    This is good news, but I'm losing progress.  How can I restore my iCloud settings to that last backup?

  • Editing Still Images with iMovie and iPhoto

    How do I turn "stills" created from imported film footage into jpegs? Basically I want to export still images from my videos into iphoto so I can edit and print the images - any ideas? When I drag the still images within iMovie 08 they won't drag to either the desktop or iphoto. HELP!

    1) Position your cursor where you want to create the still.
    2) Right-click (or control-click) and select "add still frame to project
    3) Right-click on the still frame that has been added to your project and select "Reveal in Finder"
    4) Right click on the jpeg file that has been revealed in the finder and select "copy"
    5) Paste the jpeg file onto the desktop or within a folder.
    6) Drag the jpeg file into iPhoto.

  • Is there a way to export still images from Quicktime or do I need Quicktime Pro (and is Quicktime Pro even still a thing?)

    I'm sure there used to be an option "export to still image" but not any more.
    Do I need to switch to Quicktime Pro? I used to have it back in my P.C. days but I'm not sure if Quicktime Pro is even a thing any more.
    I don't want to go down the "screen grab" option because my source footage is larger than the screen size and so I want to do my cropping after I've exported the stills, not before.

    I played a little with live trace in CS5. Seems to do quite a good job if I had the right contrast between the blood (white stuff) and the myocardium (the dark circular wall surrounding the white round area). Picture one is the contrasted picture taken off a dicom medium (these media allow adjusting the contrast very well). Left ventricle is the smiley face on the right of image. The right ventricle is on the left, kind of D shaped. The second picture is the live trace image (with "make and expand" selection). I selected the image with the "direct selection tool (A)", then used the live trace with make and expand. The tracing can not be seen here, but it is very accurate.
    The third image is the same MRI image as in picture one without contrast adjustment. Live trace did bad - fourth picture.

  • Still image that shimmies and shakes

    There are 2 still images in this piece I'm finishing up that that shimmy and shake. They are only on the sreen for 3 seconds, but it's noticeable.
    I thought I'd found the answer when I pulled them ouf of the Timeline, into the Viewer to have a look, and discovered that I must have neglected to Modify, Make Freezeframe.
    So, I did this and put them back in the Timeline, but they still dance!
    I again, pulled them to the Viewer just to make sure, and sure enough, they ARE freezeframes.
    Why would they shake?
    Thanks.
    J.

    The pulsing is the result of thin horizontal lines (or areas of high contrast) landing on one field but not the other. As the alternating fields are drawn by the monitor, you get a flickering/ pulsing effect.
    The basic strategy is to:
    1. tell the program to not use fields (in FCP set field dominance to NONE)
    2. extend the horizontal elements vertically so they exist over more than one scanline. (In Photoshop - Use a slight vertical motion blur of 1-2 pixels)
    3. Knock down areas of very high luminescence.
    Alternately, you can use the gausian blur or flicker filter in FCP at the expense of softening the image.

  • Only One Still Image Duration

    Hello Folks,
    I have shortened the clip before a still image and need the image to fill the gap. Right click and change duration is not working. If I change it on the clips motion tab, that changes the speed but does not give me a handle. Other posts have given methods that change all stills on the timeline which is not what I want. I want to change ONE only.
    What am I forgetting?
    Thanks,
    Robert A. Ober

    Yes, In the motion tab but as I said that changes the speed and does not give me handles. Ist there another place when it is in the viewer?
    Yes. In the Duration field of the Viewer window (Video tab, upper left-hand corner). David S. didn't suggest changing the speed of the image ... he DID suggest changing it's duration.
    Or right-click on the image in the Timeline and select DURATION from the contextual menu and make the change there.

  • Still images per second and "shutter times" for webcams

    Hi! I'd like to know how frequent a webcam (such as Optia AF) can take still images (at for example 2 megapixel) and send them to the PC via USB. Also, I'd like to know how long the "shutter time" is for still images, and if it can be adjusted. I want to be able to take sharp still images of moving objects and to process those images in near realtime. What webcam would be good to use for this purpose?I would be grateful for any advice!

    Great news. For Time-Lapse, I probably go with 3 - 5 Frames for my Stills Duration most often, but it depends on the look and feel that I am trying to obtain, and also the interval that the shooting took place. Sometimes I end up with less, but sometimes more - it just depends on the look. I usually do a test Project, and Import a few Images at 3 Frames, then play that many times, to see if I like it. If not, then off I go to 4 Frames, etc.. You were going in the other direction, as you already had a good feel for the pacing of your piece - you just needed to do the math to get there.
    Good luck,

  • TS1424 Apple somehow changed one of my security questions and now I need to RESET and come with nw security questions.  Don't know how.

    Apple somehow changed one of my security questions and I have no idea how to answer.  How do you change your security questions? 

    If you have a rescue email address (which is not the same thing as an alternate email address) set up on your account then you can try going to https://appleid.apple.com/ and click 'Manage your Apple ID' on the right-hand side of that page and log into your account. Then click on 'Password and Security' on the left-hand side of that page and on the right-hand side you might see an option to send security question reset info to your rescue email address.
    If you don't have a rescue email address (you won't be able to add one until you can answer 2 of your questions) then see if the instructions on this user tip helps you get them reset : https://discussions.apple.com/docs/DOC-4551

  • Every time I move something in the FCE timeline the entire timeline needs to be re-rendered.

    Tom (or ANYONE),
    I'm working on a project with my students using Final Cut Express 4.01 using our iMac running OS 10.7.1.  we filmed using the Kodak zi8 in 1080p. 
    I have two identical set ups:  an iMac with FCE4 using a Mercury Elite AL Pro portable harddrive as the scratch disc. 
    On one of the two computers, whenever we add or remove something from the timeline (in a 3 minute scene) the ENTIRE timeline forces us to rerender! 
    It's very frustrating and making the editing process almost impossible.
    Help!
    Here are a few screenshots to help in the process (hopefully):

    http://www.flickr.com/photos/pushstartwagon/6511213175/ (properties of .mov files)

    The problem is that you're trying to edit H.264 clips.  Neither FCE nor FCP works with H.264 video natively, hence the need to constantly render.
    To use a proper workflow, convert the H.264 files PRIOR to importing them into an FCE project.  Since FCE only works with QuickTime DV or the AIC formats, you will need to convert the files so that they will match your Sequence settings in FCE.
