Editing: When I pause playhead on timeline, picture goes slightly darker!

need some advice on this. I have an edit I'm working on, imported as ProRes and have noticed this issue quite a few times before, but not sure if it's just a unique problem. When I play the clip on the timeline, the canvas picture looks normal, and then when I stop the picture goes noticeably darker. It's difficult to work out which is the colour correct clip - the one where the playhead hasd stopped on, or the one which plays?!!! I hope I'm making sense on this?! As I said have noticed it before, but I'm working on something which is colour critical so need the advice.
Thanks

If you are working on something that is color critical, then you should be monitoring properly, with a capture card and broadcast monitor (or darn good HDTV). The Canvas is the LAST place you should be judging the quality of the footage.
Video playback requires large amounts of data and many computations. In order to maintain frame rate and be viewable at a normal size, only about one-fourth of the video data is used in displaying the movie in the Canvas. When you pause, it snaps to full quality...as much quality as you can get in that small screen. But a computer monitor is not the place to judge color...

Picture goes "vague" when trying to edit in iPhoto

Hi everyone,
I'm using a MacBook Air 13inch 2014 with iOS 10.9.5 and iPhoto 9.5.1. I've read the topic's about pictures turning "vague" or about iPhoto reducing resolution of pictures (which I now know is not possible), but unfortunately I couldn't find an answer to my question so far. I'm also aware that "turning vague" is a very vague word, but unfortunately I don't know how to describe it otherwise.
My question is as follows: when I open a picture in iPhoto it appears in the original resolution and I can tell if a picture is sharp, but when I like to edit my picture and press the "edit" button, my picture suddenly looks "vague" in the edit-screen. When I go back to the regular iPhoto screen or zoom in on the picture in the "edit screen", the picture is not vague anymore so I know nothing really changes and it's just about the appearance. Sometimes the "vagueness" also resolves in the edit-screen after a few seconds, but this is definitely not always the case. So, with this problem, while going through my pictures in the edit-screen, I can't tell which pictures are actually vague or which ones appear to be vague just because of the edit-screen.
Hopefully someone can help me out!

There are several possible causes for the Black Screen issue
1. Permissions in the Library: Back Up and try rebuild the library: hold down the command and option (or alt) keys while launching iPhoto. Use the resulting dialogue to rebuild. Include the option to check and repair permissions.
2. Minor Database corruption: Back Up and try rebuild the library: hold down the command and option (or alt) keys while launching iPhoto. Use the resulting dialogue to rebuild.
3. A Damaged Photo: Select one of the affected photos in the iPhoto Window and right click on it. From the resulting menu select 'Show File (or 'Show Original File' if that's available). (On iPhoto 11 this option is under the File -> Reveal in Finder.) Will the file open in Preview? If not then the file is damaged. Time to restore from your back up.
4. A corrupted iPhoto Cache: Trash the com.apple.iPhoto folder from HD/Users/Your Name/Library/ Caches...
5. A corrupted preference file: Trash the com.apple.iPhoto.plist file from the HD/Users/ Your Name / library / preferences folder. (Remember you'll need to reset your User options afterwards. These include minor settings like the window colour and so on. Note: If you've moved your library you'll need to point iPhoto at it again.)
If none of these help:
As a Test:
Hold down the option (or alt) key key and launch iPhoto. From the resulting menu select 'Create Library'
Import a few pics into this new, blank library. Is the Problem repeated there?

I can see the pictures in Events in iPhoto, but I can't open them. When I right click on an Event it just says Edit, but won't open all the pictures in Events. It used to open, but something is wrong. I would appreciate any assistance. Thank you.

Hi Terence,
I got your note and was able to complete the first part, but when I came to Finder, Go To Folder and I typed in both /var/db/receipts/ and /private/var/db/receipts all I get is NOT FOUND message. I tried several times, but no luck.
Please advise.
Thank you.

How do I correct blurry pictures in iMovie? They are clear when I pause the video but blurry when playing the video.

How do I correct blurry pictures in iMovie? They are clear when I pause the video but blurry when playing the video.

Try sharing and see if the effect is still present when you play the shared movie. It can happen when playing within iMovie if there are insufficient resources to play a full resolution.

After editing in I-Photo when I press done picture goes completely away

I have an epson perfection3170 photo scannner. I have been scanning slides for the past year with no problems. About 6 months ago, when ever I scan a picture into Photoshop Elements 4.01 in my Mac and do any kind of fix to the photo and then say done, the picture goes away completely. It does not go into a library or to the desk or any where else. I have reloded the Photoshop Element 4.01 again but I still have the same problem.

Can you explain what you're doing a little more? Your thread title talks about iphoto but nothing in your message does, so it's not very clear.

After several time installed CS6 and a clean Windows 8.1 bridge still pause after selecting a picture or right click with button mouse.

Pixelated images when in preview mode on iMovie, but when I pause it the images become clear. How do I fix this?

I just bought the latest version of iMovie and I am on 10.9.4. I transferred my slideshow from the old iMovie to the new one and almost all the pictures become pixelated when in preview mode. Yet when I pause it, the picture becomes clear. What do I do? It's driving me insane!

After more attemps at cropping Im noticing that the saved version is unzoomed, so if I move the zoom bar just a tad the image becomes instantly sharp. But sadly that doesnt help me because iphoto will only let me save it and post it online as the unsharp pixulated version. Can anyone please help me!

Help. The audio of my footage goes really quiet when dragged into Premiere Pro timeline

Hi there,
Basically, I conducted an interview and the audio sounds loud when I play it through the top left editing window on Premiere, but when I drag it into the timeline it goes quiet. I go on audio gain and it says the peak amplitude is set to -12 for example. Any explanations what is going on/how I can improve the audio?
I tried compressing the audio, which does make it louder, but it also increases the sound of the background traffic noise and makes it sound strange.
Please help.
Cheers,
Jake

Just as an experiment add the fill left audio effect to a clip on the time line, does that make it louder?

Help Please. Audio does not play back when moving by frame in timeline

Normally when I advance through the timeline frame by frame using the left and right arrow keys I can hear the audio. But it just stopped working. Any ideas?
Any suggestions would be most appreciated.
Gene

Thank you! Onward with my latenight editing!

Picture goes blank when new grad filter or brush used.

When I attempt to use a new grad filter or adjustment brush in LR3.6 the picture goes blank i.e. totally black. The history does not update and I can do no other edits until I Ctrl-Z or go to the grid pane or move to the next image. I am running on Windows 7 64 bit and I have re-installed, twice, (repaired) using the latest downloaded LR3.6 off the adobe site. I have done several integity checks which are successful and the problem occurs no matter what catalog I open, small or big. However, my LR 4 beta works perfectly!? This problem came out of the blue and the only software that I have installed on my machine recently was some Windows updates and Firetower which checks changes to my Startup processes.
Alan

I have experienced this on my old machine running Win XP with 4 GB RAM except that my picture went totally white, not black. I think it happens when LR demands more memory than what is currently available.
To alleviate the problem you could try the following:
- Increase your LR Cache size to at least 25 GB (by default it is set to 1 GB). Set Cache size in >Edit >Preferences >File handling tab.
- Increase your page file, and - if possible - set your page file (a) on a different physical drive than where your OS resides, (b) on a different physical drive where your LR catalog resides.

When I pause the sound still continues

When I pause the sound still continues. When will I test the movie in the timeline and use the timeline buttons not break the sound along with the image , it continues until it stops , the problem is that I have very long sounds and he plays to the end.

I'm guessing that the sound is embedded in the timeline. If this is the case, then select the keyframe where the sound starts and then, in the Properties window, set the Sync property for the selected sound to "Stream".

Dropped frames when playing section in the timeline w/audio, Viewer plays fine. Plays for 1 sec, no sound, nothing on audio meters. Problem out the blue, made no conscious changes. FCP 7.0.3. iMac, 2.7 GHz Intel Core i5. OS10.8.4. Thanx.

New to FCP. Dropped frames when playing section in the timeline w/audio, Viewer plays fine tho. Plays for bout 1 sec with no sound, nothing showing coming through the audio meters. Problem came out the blue, made no conscious changes to settings. FCP 7.0.3. iMac, 2.7 GHz Intel Core i5. OS10.8.4. If any other info needed please let me know, will be happy to provide it. Thanx.

Thank you for the help. Below is my Source footage and sequence settings.
The other footage I have on the timeline is an mp3 file made in Garage Band and some footage I sent to Motion to edit. I do have some offline media on there since I switched computers but FCP had been working fine for a few months with it on there. I have not tried trashing my FCP Preferences. If I did would I have to back up my project?

Your edits were applied to the first 0 pictures in the selection.

I am using Microsoft Office 2010.
Trying to edit pictures through Microsoft Office Picture Manager.
Every time I try to perform a function, I get the following popup:
"Your edits were applied to the first 0 pictures in the selection. Do you want to cancel the edits for the remaining 1 pictures in the selection?"
I have been using Picture Manager for many years but this is the first time I have seen this popup. It occurs on each and every edit.
I have tried checking every setting to get rid of it but no luck.
Any advice would be appreciated. I edit hundreds of pictures at a time and this is seriously slowing me down.

all the pictures appear but can only be shown clicking in the Catalog Panel in LR, they are all included within the ¨all pictures¨ and in ¨ Previus import ¨ ... the previus import are all the photos i cannot see within folders ..
Let me see how can i show you a screen capture and send it, I think this would explain better the situation
Yes, when i click show in finder, it takes me to the HD and shows me the right folder the picture is in. The folders in the HD show the order and titles i defined on lightroom .. so the folders i defined in lightroom were registered correctly in the HD but are no longer shown in the folder panel in LR

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.
