Fade in/out color?

Is there anyway to adjust the color on a fade out transition instead of just black?

Incredible! I've always let iMovie turn my blank space(s) into a clip without intervention, so never noticed the color selection option (and it's an iMovie Help topic I haven't previously stumbled in to). Thanks, Steve.

Washed Out Color on One User Account But Not The Other

Heyo,
I'm on my second Macbook Pro. Apple had to replace the first one. But that's behind us.
Anyway, I have a bit of a predicament. I've noticed that the colors on my main user account are washed out and dull. I created a new user account to see if the problem was a hardware or software issue.
The thing is, the account with washed out colors has Adobe Photoshop, and the rest of the Design Premium CS3 suite - as well as Final Cut Studio 2 - but these are not on the other.
So, I'm guessing that this issue is connected with CS3 and FCS 2.
This issue appears regardless of what color profile I use. But I normally use the Adobe RGB profile - which is what I used to test the other account.
Any ideas what I could do to get my color back? Is there a setting I can change for this?
Thanks for any help,
Michael

I'd try to isolate a corrupted user preference file.
Apparently, Diskwarrior now claims to fix those. Or you can just look through the preferences folder in your user folder and start pulling some of those out to the disktop, log out and then log back in and see if that does anything.
When something is affecting one account but no others, I think the clear majority of the time it is a user preference file that is responsible.

Has anyone solved the "washed out colors" / gamma correction problem?

I'm trying to create a high-quality slide show from pictures. I've tried iPhoto, iMovie, and FotoMagico. What they have in common in the Quicktime engine for compression. There seems to be a problem with washed-out colors - across all programs - when trying to export the slideshow. I've tried many different codecs (H.264, x264, Photo-JPEG, PNG, JPEG-2000), as well as a variety of settings and filter corrections. Nothing has been effective. Last year, I was able to use FotoMagico with the Photo-JPEG codec, and the photos looked great. This year, things are not working (see photo below). The folks at FotoMagico attribute problems to Quicktime. And since I've tried creating the slideshow on a variety of platforms, I have to agree.
And yes, I know this is a common problem - I've read many google links - but I wanted to see if there was any current workarounds / solutions.
Any other options?
Thanks.

Seriously Apple... this has been an issue for many years now!
Why can't this be fixed once and for all?
The ridiculous thing is that VLC play H.264 videos with much better colors than QT.
This question has been asked many many times over the years and i have yet seen a single reasonable explanation from Apple.
Here's a quick test of a color image screen recorded to a mov and viewed on screen together with the TIFF image (screen shot of everything in OS X 10.6.6)
The washed out look doesn't show as much in this simple color test but is very obvious in normal videos.
http://screencast.com/t/qQFCKZ0lgg5
1. TIFF image
2. Screen recording of above image with Intermediate Codec, viewed in QT 10 (colors not 100% but ok)
3. Same screen recording exported from Intermediate to H.264, viewed in QT 10 (colors washed out, red very wrong)
4. Same H.264 video (viewed in VLC 1.1.5)
Will this problem ever be fixed, or just ignored until no one use H.264 anymore?
Cheers

I need help with XML Gallery Fade in out transition. somebody please help me
I have my post dont want to duplicate it

The problem doesn't lie with your feed, although it does contain an error - you have given a non-existent sub-category. You need to stick to the categories and sub-categories listed here:
http://www.apple.com/itunes/podcasts/specs.html#categories
Subscribing to your feed from the iTunes Store page work as such, but the episodes throw up an error message. The problem lies with your episode media files: you are trying to stream them. Pasting the URL into a browser produces a download (where it should play the file) of a small file which does not play and in fact is a text file containing (in the case of ep.2) this:
[Reference]
Ref1=http://stream.riverratdoc.com/RiverratDoc/episode2.mp3?MSWMExt=.asf
Ref2=http://70.33.177.247:80/RiverratDoc/episode2.mp3?MSWMExt=.asf
You must provide a direct link to the actual mp3 file. Streaming won't work. The test is that if you paste the URL of the media file (as given in the feed) into the address bar of a browser it should play the file.

Help with transitions and fade in / out

I need help. I need some kind and infinitely patient personto explain, step by step, in simple words of less that one syllable how I can fade in my movie and how I can apply transitions between the clips.
I’ve tried, oh have I tried. I’ve read the manual, I’ve watched three video’s on youtube (they were bad!), found a lot of quality online help but I still don’t get it.
What I do get is random results. Like my movie fades in once then it won’t do it again. Like I get the grey transition box but can’t extend the transition beyond0.1 of a second. Like I trim my movie and the transition removes the trim. And so on.
So if some kind soul could help, or even point me in the direction of transitions made simple I’d appreciate it.
Many thanks.

Dynamically add a fade in/out transition to a caption when "showing" it from an Action?

I have a conditional action set up where if things are not correct (text input in two entry fields), I show feedback in a caption box. I figured out how to set the caption box to be initially invisible (via unchecking the Visible checkbox for the caption's properties), and how to show it when this condition occurs. But I 'd like it to also do the traditionall transition of fade in & out when I show it fromt he action. My Advanced Action is executed when the user clicks an "OK" button.
Any thoughts or advice?

Yes. Plenty of media on either end. The good news is that trashing the permissions and repairing worked.
BUT I have a question while these great minds are assembled...When repairing disk permissions the Utility says that to repair permissions on startup disk, start using my OSX install disk, which in my case is the the CD that came with my powerbook. When I tried to startup using that CD, holding down the "c" key on startup, it went into install mode. I told it I did not want to install, set the startup disk as the CD again, and kept looping around in this manner. I am probably missing a step...First question:
1) Is it in fact necessary to start up from this CD in order to properly repair permissions?
2) If yes, how do I get away from the install mode and to the disk utility, once the installer pops up.
Thanks in advance. You guys are lifesavers once again.

Firefox chrome in washed-out colors, hard to read

Hi,
To see anything but bright washed-out colors and text, I had to change to a dark theme! (NASA Night Launch) But this is as good as it gets, bleached pink (should be black), text still hard to read.
- Web page ok, it's just the chrome (tabstip, address bar and other toolbars) that is messed up.
- Only present on one of my computers (with FF32.0.1).
- On this computer (laptop), the problem is present on two recently added external displays. (not the built-in, not previously added displays)
- Only Firefox affected, no other programs running on my Win8.1update is affected. (other browsers show regular colors/text in tabstrips, toolbars, menus etc.
- Problem gone while in Firefox Safe Mode.
- Problem remains even if I disable every single add-on, and set "ask to activate" on every plugin.
Any ideas?
Hope to be able to stick to Firefox in the future :)

Washed out colors

I have a new iMac 27" with the
AMD Radeon HD 6970M 2048 MB
graphics card.
Since a few days I find that some screens have washed out colors (see pictures). Has anybody seen this?
Also the command bar is almost invisible.

Canon pixma pro 9500 having problems with my print out. colors are glazed and missing colors

canon pixma pro 9500 having problems with my print out. colors are glazed and missing colors
i have prfiled the mac and printer wiht colormunki and uplodated the profile sucessfully
i set the printer to correct icc profile
print out comes out same with glazed colors and missing tones/colors
however when i use the same printer on windows and with light room, following same icc profile, colormunki calibrated profile, the print our are excellent.
i have also tried using printer manage profile using the Mac and Aperture and get same poor prints
can you please assist and thanks

I've a Pro9000 and also use Colormunki successfully.
When I use Colormunki, I calibrate both of my monitors and the printer/paper combination. Colormunki saves the generated profiles to the correct places -- I don't load or change any profiles after that as that would mess-up what the Colormunki had just done for me, and this would likely mess-up the prints.
Though I double-check the settings in the print dialogue, the choice for the printer handling things is already grayed-out. Colorsync handles it all just fine.

Washed Out Colors When Digitizing From Mini-DV camera

Instead of renting a deck, I figured I'd just use a mini-DV camera to digitize some footage. The reasoning I'm using, is that there is NO DIFFERENCE in quality between digitizing mini-DV footage from a professional deck vs just a mini-DV camera. Is that correct?
The problem is that the footage on the LCD screen on the camera looks great. Vivid colors, solid blacks, great contrast. However, when I digitize into FCP 7 (Snow Leopard) the footage becomes murky. Washed out colors, milky blacks and hence it looks a lot more low-res than what I'm seeing on the camera's LCD screen when it digitizes.
Now, my first thought is that the screen is just compensating with more saturation and contrast. However, I'm also worried that somehow the footage isn't being brought in properly. I'm using the standard NTSC DV Anamorphic preset and capturing that way. Is there some gamma setting along the way could have affected the footage.
As it looks great on the camera's LCD, I'm wondering if there isn't some capture setting somewhere. Otherwise, I'm going have to boost the saturation and contrast to try and make the FCP footage match what I'm seeing on the camera.

It's all there in my initial inquiry.
Kind of...(let's not forget that your profile still lists G4 / Mac OS 10.4.2)...these details are important.
We ask for specifics, because often users have inadvertently tweaked settings, or run Software Update or some other upgrade, that can affect the system as a whole, particularly FCP.
Things like... exactly which version of QT are you using? Snow Leopard loads QTX (QT10) by default, which can cause it's own issues. It is possible to load QT7 additionally, but it will go into your Utilities folder (you should be able to move it to Applications), but since I'm not versed in SL, I'll not speculate whether it's an issue for you or not.
That's one example. So, please give us exact versions/info on...
OS/FCP/QT
Capture and Sequence settings (just to make sure)
How is the camera connected?
How are you currently monitoring your captured media?

Any temporary solutions to the washed out colors issue?

**Note: I posted this in the Boot Camp forum, but I received no response. So, I'll give this forum a try.**
I have a question about Windows XP and washed out colors on the display. I hear that there are some display driver issues with the new unibody MacBook Pros when using either XP or Vista on a Boot Camp partition. Just to be clear, when I say "washed out colors", I mean to say that the colors have a blue-ish, faded look to them. I know that this issue lies with the type of color gamma (or whatever it's called) that Windows uses versus what Mac OS X uses. So, now for the 2 main questions I want to ask:
1)Is there any permanent solution to this weird color problem?
And, if not, then:
2)Is there any temporary solution, such as maybe a program that can apply a color profile for you? For example, I read on another forum that programs like LUT Manager (http://www.exactscan.com/lutmanager/) can help apply an .icc color profile that you have in Mac OS X and apply it to Windows (you can even have it apply it automatically when you start up Windows). Do any of you know something that might be even better?
Also, how do you make an ICC color profile in Mac OS X without actually applying it?

Does anyone even know what I'm talking about? I'll be glad to elaborate further if necessary...

What is the best way to lay out color-coded Excel data in InDesign?

I’ve been away from layout for some time. I now need to lay out color-coded Excel data (3 columns, 200 rows) in InDesign 5.5. The data will need to be in alpha order and each row will be color coded, with a color key at the top of the page. What is the best way to lay this out? Should I use the table tool and create a new style for each color that I need to use?
Thanks for your help.

I think this will work in CS3.
Start off by inserting Styles of WEEK, Mon to Friday (as per left)
Set the Week No. to Bullets and Numbering and insert as per screen shot
Do the same for Days Monday through to Sunday
Also set up Monday style NEXT STYLE to be Tuesday
When you get to Sunday - loop the Styles back to WEEK style.
Then as per first screen shot you just have to insert RETURNS all the way down to initiate the style.

Individual track start and end times: Fade in & out?

I can set start & end times for individual tracks.
Can I also fade in & out?

You can set start and stop times for individual tracks using Get Info>>Options tab.
iTunes Preferences>>Playback tab has a crossfade option that you could check out to see if it does what you want on fading in and out.

Text fade in/out won't work if a light makes shadows

I found that text won't actually use a fade in/out behavior if you are using a light that projects shadows.
Now, that's an interesting thing. I used to notice with drop-shadows in Mo3, the shadow would show up and the fade would be sort of weird since you could see the shadow under while it faded in. It wasn't a very pretty fade since it got dark and muddy first.
So, now, it just won't let you do it.
Bug or user error?

Adjusting the opacity of a text layer forces it's rasterization. This essentially gives it the properties of a 2D layer which aren't affected by lights.
In order for you to get a cast shadow AND a fade in/out, you must first flatten the text layer. This can be done by selecting the Flatten button in the Text tab of the inspector. Or else you can drop the text into a 3D group and flatten the group from the Group tab.

Fade in/out several tracks with the crossfade tool?

Can I Fade in/out several tracks with the crossfade tool? I mean without selecting them and then add value...? just like in ProTools just selecting the regions and apply the fade tool???? VIP question

No.
To add crossfades or fade in/outs to multiple audio regions, you must do it from the fade parameter box, either entering numerically, or by clicking and dragging on the numeric value.
