External monitor resizing image from timeline

Hi Good Folks
I'm using an 800 x 600 output from FCP and trying to get my VGA external monitor to show me the canvas. I have tried all the permutations of A/V device output - here's what happens: my canvas is playing a clip which is 800 x 466 in origin. I moved to the bottom of the screen as needed and when it is not playing back, the image on my external monitor is correctly seen. When I hit playback, it shrinks vertically about 50% or so... can't figure out why! The external monitor is set to 800 x 600. This worked before with a different version of FCP.
Any advice appreciated!
John

Mr. T-Cat
Thanks for replying. I understand you read and respond to many many posts... I am doing a video art installation in a large gallery and I "map" my video parts onto walls or areas which need to be tweaked with distort parameters or other modifications while in place. I hook up a video projector via VGA to my laptop and finish the video in the gallery. My video projectors work fine at 800 x 600. For video projection 800 x 600 is a standard video resolution. This is a problem with FCS3 as I have used this technique last year w/ FCP6. Motion 4 outputs the correct image and does QT7 & 10. I must have screwed up my sequence settings somehow? I followed another's advice and made an 800 x 600 ProRes422 seq. setting. When I drag a clip into the timeline a pop up window implies that External Video is not optimized, asks Yes or No - advice was No. FCP still says clip doesn't match my sequence settings and crushes the vertical height when playing back even if I drag a full 800 x 600 ProRes clip into my sequence, or say Yes change the seq settings to match.
Thanks
btw, I will the program Isadora outputting 3 video streams (AIC @ 800x600) through a Matrox TH2Go into the three projectors each set at 800x600. The Matrox only does a 2400 x 600 output on my MBP thus the resolution.

Problem trying to batch resize images from bridge.

I am trying to batch resize images from bridge. I am on windows 7 desktop and using CC, I select the images in bridge, tool bar>tools>photoshop>image processor. After doing this, photoshop CC opens but no images open.

open photoshop, open actions pallette, click new action (windows > actions (or Alt+f9)), click record, open your image, resize it, click stop action.
then use file> automate > batch
the action you just recorded will be ready to use, select the folder with all your photos (wise to work on a duplicated folder incase you mess up)
run the action. wait while photoshop opens and resizes the images one by one.
check in folder if the images resized how you expected.

No video when using external monitor and resuming from sleep.

I know some people were having problems with the new MacBooks, but I guess the Mac driver fixed something. However, when I'm in Windows and have my Dell 24" hooked up to the Mini DisplayPort -> DVI adapter, I cannot resume from sleep. The monitor will turn on, but I can't get an image on it.
In MacOS it seems to resume from sleep fine, but not in Windows. Anyone else seeing this?
Thanks!

Is no one else getting this error? Does anyone have any issues when their MacBook is hooked up to an external monitor and it goes to sleep?

External monitor blurry image rMBP 2012

Hey guys!
I have 2012 rMPB which works perfectly and i am connecting it to my 22" Benq monitor via MiniDisplayPort to VGA connector (monitor only has VGA).
Image on the external monitor is really bad, it looks blurry, not sharp enough and brightness is very low.I tried calibrating it, no luck
Monitor is working properly (tested on Win laptop) and resolution is set to native FullHD so i dont know what could be the problem...
Any suggestions?

Hi,
I'm facing the same problem. The fonts on an external monitor are very blurry. Graphics and icons are displayed crystal sharp. I can rule out any issue with the monitor or cable (mini DisplayPort to DVI) whatsoever, because if I run Ubuntu in VirtualBox, then within the VM the fonts are displayed sharp. Also no font issues on the notebook display itself.
So it all comes down to a font issue on external displays, as can be read in several forums. The font smoothing tweaks didn't show an effect.
Macbook Air 13" mid-2012
OS X 10.8.2 Mountain Lion (10.8 pre-installed)
External Display: Benq G2222HDL connected via miniDisplayPort to DVI Adapter on the Thunderbolt connection
Can anyone reproduce the correct font display in a virtual machine?
Thanks,

IMac always auto detects for external monitors after waking from sleep or from display off

I've got a Dell 24" monitor (2408WFP) plugged into my mid 2011 iMac via DVI cord and thunderbolt attachment. Things work fine.
When I need to leave my computer, I usually turn the displays off using the shortcut keys: CTRL + SHIFT + EJECT
This works perfectly and both displays go black. However, when I return to my computer and reactivate the iMac, the iMac display will turn blue as if I have just plugged in a new monitor even the external monitor is still plugged in. It usually flashes blue twice before displaying the password prompt. I can usually just log back in as normal. I've never had this happen before using Snow Leopard. It's annoying but strange.
However, even more strange is that sometimes when returning to the desktop, the iMac will do the auto detect display thing and then when I log back in, the external display just shows static as if there is no signal. I've checked the cable a million times and everything is as tight as tight can be and both ends are plugged in properly. Unplugging the displayport adapter from the iMac and then reattaching it restores the desktop on the secondary display although sometimes, it results in the secondary display showing a gray background picture instead of my normal picture. Replugging the secondary display seems to fix that too although sometimes it doesn't.
Why is this happening?
- Problem with the adapter?
- Problem with the DVI cable I'm using?
- Compatibility issues with my external monitor?
I need to stress the point that this has never happened before with Snow Leopard.
If I am the only one experiencing this then I suppose it may be an issue with the iMac or adapter or even the cable. But if anyone else can shed light on this problem, I'd really appreciate it.

Hi Micheal,
I've been experiencing the exact same issue with my new iMac I just bought. I bought it refurb so I wasn't sure if it was a defect with the hardware or not. Since I'm not the only one I will asume it's not for now.
Setup:
- iMac 27-inch 3.4GHz (Release May 2011)
- Dell 2709W external monitor
- Hooked in with mini display port to DVI adapter
- Lion 10.7.3 all up to date to this day
From what I've been able to gather the issue presents itself only when my Dell 2709W enters "Power Save Mode" after I do CTRL + SHIFT + EJECT or when the diplays simply goes to sleep by themselves.
Although if I hit that combination and the displays goes to sleep but I don't wait long enough for my Dell monitor to actually "Power Save Mode" (wait like 2 sec) then touch the keyboard then the 2 displays (iMac and Dell) resumes from sleep without the issue presenting itself.
I'm tempted to buy the mini-display port to HDMI just to see if the issue is still present with that adapter. If I do I'll update my post with the outcome.
If anyone else has any info to help with this issue it would be greatly appreciated. It's very annoying when you resume from sleep and you find all of your windows that where opened on the external display before sleep squeezed into your main display (iMac).
Thanks!

W520 - why only two external monitors? Anyone from Lenovo?

Hi,
    From what I can gather, the W520 does not have "hybrid Optimus" mode and hence can drive only two external monitors, even when connected to the mini-dock.
    Can anyone (from Lenovo?) tell me if this a hardware or software issue?Is an update to change this possible?
    Why did Lenovo make this disappointing choice?

http://www-307.ibm.com/pc/support/site.wss/MIGR-76767.html and http://www-307.ibm.com/pc/support/site.wss/document.do?lndocid=MIGR-76617 don't match. The first document says 3 of the 5 display connectors on the dock can be used at the same time. In the second document, the W520 is nowhere to be found on the quad display sections.
Could we get clarification if this is working as designed on the W520 (only 2 connection active from the dock) or a bug and it should do three?

Resizing Images from Web

I just purchased the iwork package (I usually get the Mac Office stuff) and am having trouble with web image files. When I attempt to drag an image from the web to my presentation and resize it it looks very pixelated and fuzzy. What am I doing wrong?

It sounds like you are dragging a thumbnail from the web and when it is enlarged in keynote it is pixelated. Try to find images with a higher resolution. For my classroom presentation I use a lot of photos that I will use only once, and I usually trash them right away, I use flcker frequently for a source of images and I have had no problems, for clip art I use clipart.com but you must pay a membership fee to download the larger sizes.
Hope this help

Lion, external monitor, and wake from sleep - please help!

For the most part I love Lion. However, the changes they made to the external monitor support are not helpful for me. Let me explain...
I have a 13" 2009 MBP. In my office I use a monitor stand that the laptop can slide into from either the left or the right, and the monitor sits on top. Previously I would simply take my closed MBP in sleep mode, slide it under the stand, and plug everything in. Once the power cord and monitor cable were plugged in, as soon as I inserted something into the USB or SD-Card slot (or I think even the ethernet jack) the laptop would wake from sleep and the monitor would come on.
Now, however, this doesn't happen. My only option is to plug everything in, open the laptop so it wakes up, then close the lid, then slide it into the stand. This is definitely NOT an improvement! Before I had my phone at the left of the monitor stand, and would slide the laptop in from the right. Now, though, I have no choice but to slide it in from the left (after going through the above hassel), which means I had to move the phone off of my desk.
The energy saving preferences have the "wake on network access" box checked, which would make me think that it would wake up as soon as the ethernet cord is plugged in - but no such luck. I also have wireless in the office, but it's hard for it to recognize that when it's in sleep mode.
Has anyone else had this problem? Is there a solution I'm missing here? I'm using a wireless keyboard and wireless mouse, so of course those won't do anything while the computer is asleep.

I'm beginning to hate Lion because of this one problem. It's great that Lion doesn't sleep when you close the laptop with external monitor connected. But I can no longer wake the external monitor with USB mouse movement. I have to open and close the lid. This is very inconvenient when switching between two systems with KVM. The MacBook is awake; it just won't wake the monitor.

Resize image from local drive and upload to server

Hi there
I want to allow the user to chose an image from his local
hard drive.
The image should then be loaded into the Flex 2 application.
There I wanna show him infos about the image e.g. height and
width.
He should then be able to scale/resize the image and upload
it to the server.
I have no idea how to do that :-)
Any thoughts on that?
Thanks in advance
Bernd

Well in short, you need a second language to support that,
e.g. PHP/ASP/CF.
First you'll have to build a GUi in which you can upload the
jpg, putting it to the server using php/asp/cf, then you'll need to
make a call to that image, (importing it into your flex), then
you'll have to set the parameters for the resizing, then you'll
have to call a php/asp/cf script which does te resizing

MacbookPro + External Monitor wake up from sleep

Hey,
If I connect my mbp to external monitor and press sleep and then close the lid, 30% of the cases I cannot wake it up. I have all updates in Mountain Lion.
Any thoughts about it? Software bug?

But still, the sleep issue persists, so it is a more subtle timing issue. I upgraded my MBP with a Corsair 8GB kit ( http://www.corsair.com/us/corsair-mac-memory-8gb-ddr3-sodimm-memory-kit-cmsa8gx3 m2a1333c9.html ) and it indicated it had 9-9-9-24 CAS timing. It has worked flawlessly till now. Note that my Mac is a Late 2011, whose memory runs at 1333 MHz.
As far as I can tell, the 13" Mid 2010 models used 1067 MHz memory with 7-7-7-20 CAS timing: http://www.corsair.com/us/corsair-mac-memory-8gb-dual-channel-ddr3-sodimm-memory -kit-cmsa8gx3m2a106c7.html

Resize images from table

Hello!
I had following problem.
There is a code, which receives images from one table in RDBMS (images are stored in LONG RAW fields),
reduces them and writes in other table. Here the code:
OracleStatement stmt = (OracleStatement)con.createStatement();
OracleResultSet rs = (OracleResultSet)stmt.executeQuery("SELECT image FROM bigimages WHERE IMGID=1");
if (rs.next()) {
InputStream in=rs.getBinaryStream(1);
OutputStream out = new FileOutputStream("C:\\TMP.JPG");
JPEGImageDecoder decoder=JPEGCodec.createJPEGDecoder(in);
JPEGImageEncoder encoder=JPEGCodec.createJPEGEncoder(out);
BufferedImage sourceImg=decoder.decodeAsBufferedImage();
BufferedImage img=scaleToSize(nWidth, nHeight, sourceImg);
encoder.encode(img);
InputStream fStream = new FileInputStream("C:\\TMP.JPG");
try {
OraclePreparedStatement pstmt = (OraclePreparedStatement)con.prepareStatement("INSERT INTO smallimages VALUES (?,1)");
pstmt.setBinaryStream(1,fStream,fStream.available());
boolean result = pstmt.execute();
pstmt.close();
} catch (SQLException ex) {}
in.close();
out.close();
backimageresize = true;
rs.close();
stmt.close();
But for some reasons it is necessary to do without the temporary file.
How it to make?

You mean you want to do that without using a temporary file? If so, then use these two modified lines of code instead:
OutputStream out = new ByteArrayOutputStream();
InputStream fStream = new ByteArrayInputStream(out.toByteArray());

No images from timeline on output monitor?

After installation CC: “Premiere Pro, Audition, After Effects and Photoshop”, when I play from the timeline in Adobe Encore CS6, the output monitor gives only sound no images?
We have already install the newest drivers from Matrox.
Please tell me what to do?
Best regards,
Koos Wolf

Presumably by "Output monitor" you mean a monitor attached to the Matrox device - which I assume is an MXO2?
If so you will need to set Encore, as well as Premiere, to output the timeline through the MXO2.
In Encore go to the Edit menu, Select Preferences, then the Audio/video Out tab. Go to the Video Out section of the panel, and select Matrox Player from the drop down list.
Now click on Set Up, and adjust the settings in the dialogue box to suit your format.

Photos Look Blurry on NTSC monitor when played from timeline

When I play back jpeg photos from my timeline on my monitor, the pictures look a bit blurry, especially right at the end of my transition, such as a cross dissolve...When I stop the playhead on a jpeg, after about 1 second, the image becomes very sharp on the monitor...once I start playing again, the image becomes a bit blurry!

Dave,
On both my G4 and G5, I've encountered the same problem from time to time and here's the workaround that fixed it for me:
Apply a filter to the images. I use the 3-Way Color Corrector since many of the photos could stand a little tweaking for TV anyway. Render them and they should retain their original sharpness.
I have no idea what causes the problem, why it only affects some of the images and not all of them, nor do I know why re-rendering them after applying a filter works ... but it does for me.
-DH
ps: another symptom that this fix takes care of is when you see a small shift (1 or 2 pixels) in the image's position as it comes out of a transition.

How to resize image from 40k to 200k?

I am trying to upload images around 40k to a website but it tells me images must not be less than 200k and to upload higher quality images instead. I have tried everything including save as and save for web, etc., to no avail.
Your help will be much appreciated.

It looks like some of the original images are doing ok in that I am able to adjust their quality by using the Save As slider if the images are big enough to begin with. However if they are already under 200k, I am out of luck. These images were sent to me by a friend to upload for her at the Zillow website. I am afraid she is out of luck as she did not save the originals that were bigger.
I just tried the Save for Web feature and much to my surprise I was able to increase the size from 40 to 208 by increasing the width from 500 to 800, contraining the proportions. It looked too big at that screen, so I thought I lost some of the image. I went ahead and saved it with a different name. Then I closed it and reopend it. Much to my surprise I had not lost any of the picture, and it is at 208k.
