Fade Through Black Transition Not Displaying Properly
Greetings all. I have imported my movie clips into iMovie '08. Each of the clips plays fine by themselves as well as when edited and combined in my project. The problem arrises when I try to add a Fade Through Black (or any transition for that matter) between the clips. Since the transition I'm interested in is the Fade Through Black that's the one I'm going to continue to reference as my transition. When I scrub the cursor across the transition it displays perfectly in the preview window. However, when I try to play the movie it doesn't fade to black it just jumps to black, and doesn't come out of black for several seconds (much longer than my duration). Any suggestions on what to try would be most appreciated. Thank you and have a good night.
This frequently helps solve some problems. Quit iDVD. Search for the file named com.apple.iDVD.plist and trash it. (A new one will be created next launch of iDVD.) Or look in: User/Library/Preferences. This may solve project loading errors too. Restart and use Disk Utility to Repair Permissions.
You'll need to reset some Preferences.

"Fade Through Black" transition in slideshows corrupts project!
I built a project from the ground up in iMovie. Shared this to iDVD. Constructed the whole dvd including a slideshow. When I clicked on "Fade Through Black" in the transitions menu for slideshows, iDVD abruptly quit with no error message! Completely quit.
I tried to open the project by double-clicking it and it would bring up a prompt saying "Loading themes", then show the iDVD window for a split second and quit again.
I tried making the iDVD project twice. With different themes each time, and still got the same result when I clicked on the "Fade Through Black" transistion. I had even saved the file right before clicking the transistion. That didn't help at all...This frequently helps solve some problems. Quit iDVD.

Itunes 9 Store - Not Displaying Properly
I am having problems with the iTunes store not displaying properly. I can see the album art, but the background is black. I can not see any of the text and I can not see most of the blue play buttons. This all occurred after upgrading to Itunes 9. What options would I need to change in my anti-virus/security programs in order to potentially correct this issue. I really don't want to have to totally uninstall Itunes and reinstall everything. Help is appreciated.

Drgoo's suggestion from the following post might be worth trying with that:

Hi,I am working on Agentry 5.4.0I have a list screen where for one of the columns I have a rule to display images ( I use checked and unchecked images ). Earlier the images were getting displayed properly on the ATE but it is not working now and I did not make any changes to the image properties then.But after this, I tried couple of things with the image properties to make it work, like when I do not use any mask colour the image does not get displayed but when i use any maks colour the image gets displayed but its completely blacked out ( and thus for checked image, cannot see the check mark and its completely blacked out ).I face same issue with the login image as well. I added a new Image ( Logo ) to my App for the login Screen, but even this image does not appear on the login screen.
I also tried deleting the Dev folder and re-publishing, but even this does not work.

Try deleting the Application directory under your development server where the images reside and publish again.
Completely clear your ATE and transmit again from scratch.
Also, what mask color are you using?
Try using a green hugh and not black or white for the mask.

Hi Jason,Thank you for the reply.I already tried all the things you have mentioned, but the same issue exits still.

Is it just the ATE, or do you have the same problems using the WIn32 or PPC clients?

Hi Jason,Behaviour in ATE:I have changed the image now and tested with the new image . Now, its behaving strangely:When I do a sync after publishing or a reset of ATE; I see the new image properly displayed on the screen but when I leave the screen and come back to the same screen again, the new image is getting replaced by the old image ( atleast the old image is not displayed properly, it appears like a black square box..and because of the same issue I had with this image I switched to the new image ). Behaviour in Win32 Client:When I tested with the client, I see the new image properly for the first time and when i leave the screen and come back the image disappears..This is the behaviour in client.
Please suggest.

Prashanthi,What did you use to create these images?
They are simple bitmaps I assume?
Try creating some very simple images using Microsoft Paint, then set a mask of green in Agentry.
Your problem sounds familiar, but I can't find a matching bug in our database.
Maybe someone else has experienced this?
You could also try upgrading to a newer version of Agentry to see if the problem goes away.
We are currently on version 6.0.4.Jason Latko - Senior Product Developer at Syclo

Hi Jason,
Thank you for the reply.
But strangely, from past few days I see that the image is working fine again.
But kept this topic open because it was wierd, that the image is working correctly again without making any major change. What I did was to just write the rule again which calls the image ( though i did this before and did not work then but worked now ) and to observe the image behaviour for few days.But it seems like it is fine now.
Thanks and Regards,PrashanthiWe am using "jv:imageButton" tag for displaying the image and below is the tag code,
<jv:imageButton styleClass="buttonStyle"
selected="true"
onclick="networkCanvas.setInteractor(clientSelect)"
image="../oracle/communications/inventory/ui/images/arrow.png" buttonGroupId="interactors"
rolloverImage="../oracle/communications/inventory/ui/images/arrowh.png"
selectedImage="../oracle/communications/inventory/ui/images/arrowd.png"
title="#{inventoryUIBundle.SELECT}"
message="#{inventoryUIBundle.SELECT}" />
The able code is present in the below path,
..\public_html\oracle\communications\inventory\ui\network\page\NetworkView.jsff
The images are present in the following path,
..\public_html\oracle\communications\inventory\ui\images\zoomrecth.png
I am not thinking this is a Platform Beta 3 uptake issue. And I am suspecting an issue with integration of ilog with ADF. Any help in this regard would be helpful.
regards,
Chandra

Some websites do not display properly or function
Using Firefox v29.0.1; running Win 7 Pro 64-bit version.
Some websites do not display properly - as if Firefox is not finding the CSS (Facebook for one).
Also, on Craig's List, I can't click on any of the links including the contact/reply button.
Wanted to attach screenshots but see no place to do so.
Thanks,
paulp575Looks like something in my history must have been causing it.
That's the only step I needed to go through and seems as though everything has cleared up - for now.
Thanks Phillipp for your help!

"Fade to black" transition without handles ?
Is there any method to do a "fade to black" transition without handles in FCP 6 ?
Like in iMovie for example. Maybe with another Pro App?
Many Thanks.Have the Fade to Black end at the end of the clip, not in the middle. Notice when you drag transitions onto clips how you can make it end on the cut, be in the middle of the cut, or start at the cut.

Problems with fade to black transition and photoalbum themed titles
I keep having trouble with the titles in the photo album theme. When I use a fade to black transition and then try to use one of the top 4 titles available under the photos theme it seem like I have to move the title part of the way into the new clip or the fade to black transition just does not happen. It looks OK but the title come up after the new clip has been playing for several seconds and doesn't look as smooth. Any ideas?
One option is to create a "freeze frame" on the first frame of the new clip. Add your Photo Album title to the beginning of the new clip. Insert a fade to black transition between the preceding clip and the freeze frame. You may need to fiddle with the duration of both the freeze frame and the transition in order to get the timing right. Now, as the fade to black finishes you will see a short still segment just prior to the title commencing, as if the freeze frame is coming to life, so to speak. It looks quite effective, depending of course on the video content.
To add a freeze frame, right-click (or Control-click) on the appropriate frame, then select "Add Freeze Frame" from the pop-up menu. It's easier if you first move the thumbnail slider (lower right corner of the Projects window) to the half second mark, giving you a close-up view of your clips.

Images not displayed properly.Any advice on that?
Hi,
I found the following code inside the forum and i'm trying to understand it.
It appears to be a problem though. In particular the images(chess-pieces) are not displayed properly. The background of the gif images should be transparent but is not. Any advice?
Thanks
Here is the code:

public class ChessBoard10 {
static final int PAWN = 0;
JFrame frame;
JComponent[][] checker;
public ChessBoard10() {
frame = new JFrame("CHESS GAME");

Container con = frame.getContentPane();
con.setLayout(new GridLayout(8, 8));
checker = new JComponent[8][8];
for (int row = 0; row < 8; ++row) {
for (int col = 0; col < 8; ++col) {
JComponent p = new JPanel();
p.setBackground(setColor(row, col));

public Piece(int type) {

}Well, without actually testing the code which I most unfortunately can't do since my real computer is chrashed at the moment, try checking the
boolean Component.isOpaque();otherwise try using .png's instead altough it shouldn't matter.
This is just some general advices =( -
Pictures and texts are not displayed properly
Hello Apple users,
I've the 15 inch Macbook Pro with retina display, running Mountain Lion. I have noticed that when I chat with my friends in Facebook, the texts in the chat window are not displayed properly. This also happens when flipping through photos that were uploaded in Facebook. Also, pictures are not displayed properly in other websites. For example, today I was reading the news in the Guardian when I noticed that the top bar and a picture weren't displayed properly. The top bar should have showed News, Sports, Comment, Culture, Pensions, etc. all in the same line. Also look at the photo titiled "Should building socities do buy-to-let?" I took a screenshot from the guardian and you can see the photo here: https://docs.google.com/file/d/0ByQ7VP0wjFM-U0ZIOXlwMm13Vnc/edit?usp=sharing

OLE Objects are not displayed properly-overlap characters and empty page
I'm using CR4E 12 Runtime libraries to load and view reports that are created in CR designer v10. Some of the OLE Objects (not all) are not displayed properly.
1) A full page contains terms and conditions as ole object is not at all displayed and just shown as black image.
2) Some data in a table (OLE Object) shown as overlapped characters.
Any body know the reason and is there any workaround to solve this issue?
Thankyou very much for your time.Your problem seems to be with the character encoding you are using for your text. A quick google search for ColdFusion character encoding should turn up the answer. In case you are interested in learning more:

I have abrand new ASUS notebook with a 11 and a half inch screen. I have up to date Windows system, and am using the latest version of firefox. I have gone through all the tips in the help section of firefox including clearing cache and cookies, and also checking all settings for text, however none of this has corrected the problem. For example when i log into my online banking the text is that big it doesnt fit into the boxes set on natwest screen, so therefore i can view all of the text and it gets jumbled together in some places. With ELC a good example is the menu across the top of the page which gives all of the categories of products they sell for you to click on. As the writing is too large it does not display properly. Im not sure what else to do to crrect this. Can anyone help?
Try 2 things, if they can help:
1. on the same window, where you have 1 of above site opened. Do ctrl + F5.
2. Do Ctrl + shift + P, it will open a new private window and browse any of the above site. -
I am a professor and frequently need to open pdfs of academic journal articles from electronic databases. Within the last two or three weeks, when I try to do this using Firefox, only the first page of the pdf displays and the rest are blank. In addition, a bar appears across the top with the message "This pdf file may not display properly." So I have had to switch to Internet Explorer to open the files and do my research. What is going on and how can I fix it so I can open pdf files from the Web in Firefox and have them display properly?
My question is simple - why would you put an application in production that has a lot of bugs? To replace a good and steady Adobe product? My customers will believe that I put a pathetic fallible form online. They are not sophisticated on computers so I just tell them to use IE. Ugh

You can try these steps in case of issues with web pages:
You can reload web page(s) and bypass the cache to refresh possibly outdated or corrupted files.
*Hold down the Shift key and left-click the Reload button
*Press "Ctrl + F5" or press "Ctrl + Shift + R" (Windows,Linux)
*Press "Command + Shift + R" (Mac)
Clear the cache and remove cookies only from websites that cause problems.
"Clear the Cache":
*Firefox/Tools > Options > Advanced > Network > Cached Web Content: "Clear Now"
"Remove Cookies" from sites causing problems:
*Firefox/Tools > Options > Privacy > "Use custom settings for history" > Cookies: "Show Cookies"
Start Firefox in <u>[[Safe Mode|Safe Mode]]</u> to check if one of the extensions (Firefox/Tools > Add-ons > Extensions) or if hardware acceleration is causing the problem.
*Switch to the DEFAULT theme: Firefox/Tools > Add-ons > Appearance
*Do NOT click the Reset button on the Safe Mode start window
