Fade to Bl

My ZEN V Plus 4 GB Black MP3 player has perfectly working sound, uploading is okay. But here's my problem. A while back, the screen started to fade and yellow a bit, each day getting gradually darker and darker until it just went black. I updated the firmware, reset, everything. The screen is black no matter what. I know at least the MP3 Player portion of it works because I can hear Blondie playing just fine. Help please?

Contact creative about it. If its still in warranty they can probably send you a new player or repair it. Sounds like the backlight may have went on it or maybe the screen is just bad and died out.

  • Can't fade more than one region at a time?

    Tell me this isn't so... I'm reading the manual, maybe I'm over looking it, I've selected multiple files and tried to use the fade tool and no dice - is this for real? It can't be done?

    1. Select the regions.
    2. In the Region Parameter Box in the Inspector, you can choose fade types, times, etc.

  • Adobe, please stop running from this issue! (GPU vs CPU anomalies / fades)

    Adobe,
    I have tried to bring this issue to light many times, and your own users have argued it ad finem, but to no avail! I am TIRED of getting terrible alpha blending (and opacity curve) results with GPU acceleration enabled, vs CPU. In fact, it is SO BAD that I NEVER work with GPU acceleration any more.
    Here is the issue:
    When GPU acceleration is enabled, you simply CANNOT do a smooth fade and/or cross dissolve. It appears to fade down smoothly to about 20% opacity, and then the next frame it will jump right to 0% quite abruptly and disappear. It's almost as if the fade simply gives up and switches off! Regardless of whether you use Cross Dissolve, or Film Dissolve the results are the same. Also, your alpha blending is all messed up, CLEARLY showing a different result when comparing CPU and GPU rendering outputs. Once again, this issue ONLY exists with GPU acceleration ENABLED. Switch off GPU/MPE and the problems disappear. But of course you lose the speed and other benefits GPU acceleration offers, which would be great to have! Especially seeing as I have also heard (from various other resources) that GPU acceleration can improve the quality of rendering out to compressed formats like H264. But we will never know that, will we? Because, every time I enable GPU, my fades and blending looks noticeably bad!
    I have seen in various other threads that your response has been along the lines of: "That's just the way it is". But unless your name is Bruce Hornsby, this response is unacceptable! You cannot advertise a "great feature" of your products (in this case, GPU/MPE), yet when people try to use it and see odd results, simply tell us: "oh by the way, yeah, it does not work in a few scenarios, like fading, but otherwise you are good to go!" The way I see it: cross-fades (even fades in general) as well as opacity/blending are some of the most common, if not THE most common techniques used in video projects! Having an anomaly of this nature showing a DISTINCT difference in quality output when one of your fantastic "features" is enabled is just poor form. What is evern poorer is your responses (or lack thereof) related to the issue. Especially seeing as this problem has been present since CS5, and now we are STILL seeing it in CC!
    Here is a thread which documents the issue well (even shows examples, and other details someone prepared for you to apparently ignore):
    http://forums.adobe.com/thread/773441
    ...it was never addressed there.
    Another issue which details it going back as far as CS 5.5:
    http://forums.adobe.com/thread/987306
    ...once again, never resolved.
    Now I am using CC, latest version, up-to-date, a fast i7 processor, a CUDA supported card, and all of those go to waste because I have to have GPU and the mercury playback engine disabled to yield decent quality results.
    I implore you, not just for myself, but on behalf of everybody here who has already addressed this issue, but has had their pleas fall on deaf ears: PLEASE FIX THIS PROBLEM. Telling us simply that: "This is the way GPU cards choose to render" is NOT ACCEPTABLE. It's just like me saying when I drive my car on the wrong side of the road: "that's just the way I drive!". Doesn't mean it is acceptable!
    You may have won people over since Final Cut Pro screwed the pooch with version X... but I can guarantee if this does not get resolved soon, the issue won't just be isolated to the forums here. Expect to read about it in MANY online publications that I am sure your competitors will ENJOY watching!

    Indeed. Yes Adobe, please explain.
    And here is an example of what I am talking about:
    CPU only (MPE and GPU DISABLED):
    This appears to be what I would consider accurate, as it is not only well blended, but the fades work smoothly thanks to it relying on the CPU...
    GPU (MPE and GPU ENABLED - Linear Color ON - as per default):
    This provides identical image quality/blending results as the CPU only benchmark. However, the fades are very abrupt, as per the original problem...
    GPU (MPE and GPU ENABLED - Linear Color OFF, as per your recommendation):
    This is your recommended solution. The fades are as smooth as they are in the CPU version. But as you can see the color, alpha and blending are VASTLY different. Actually, it looks HORRIBLE! The BG text is barely visible, and the foreground text appears to be more prevalent over the top of the back layer, making its fade-up quite disjointed and selective.
    ...So as you can see, the "solution" you provided seems to create more problems and/or inconsistencies in the overall output. Now we have no idea what is the "standard"!
    I personally find these inconsistency's very concerning. And I am sure I'm not the only one. Please tell me there is actually a logic to this "solution" and it wasn't a simple duct-tape fix that nobody there at Adobe actually looked deeper into to see exactly how it would effect overall image quality! It sure appears that way!
    I appreciate that you, Kevin, are not directly responsible for this issue, and you are indeed a representative trying to help. But please realize that for many of us here, we are LONG time Premiere users, with years of experience and influence in this industry, and this definitely isn't our first rodeo! When we flag these issues we do so out of a REAL need, which means the consequences Adobe faces as a result of not addressing these issues are equally as REAL! As such; I encourage you to expedite the process of resolving this issue, because it has been prevalent since CS5.5, and the fact that it is not been resolved and/or has been addressed poorly does not bode well for your overall reputation. Especially when you are trying to make Premiere the industry standard. Like I said, I would hate to have to look at alternatives, so give me a solution, because if I decide to move on from using Premiere, I won't be the last. And no, I am not being melodramatic here. If a piece of software cannot seem to get something as simple as fades and blend modes right (or at least CONSISTENT), how can the software be trusted to handle high-end workflows? Food for thought.

  • IPhone 5 voice call quality fade in and out. Noise Cancellation interference?

    I've been having this huge problem with the iPhone5. The evidence i've collected seems to indicate this is a problem with all iPhone5's.
    On calls in certain places both indoors and outdoors, the callers voices over the iPhone5 fade in and out. Their voices occasionally completely fade completely away, and only come back momentarily. The low volume for 50% of the time forces me to raise the volume, but raising the volume does not help because when the voice does come back, the volume is too loud for my ears.
    I went back to the Apple store and they are not able to help me. They suggested a clean restore, which I did. They offered to replace the phone, which I did, but it is the same problem.
    - iPhone 5 vs. iPhone 4S, the fading does not occur. I make the call to the same voice mail system I have, and the sounds from the other side are consistently the same volume for the 4S, but fades in and out for the 5.
    - I connected up a 8mm jack between my iPhone 5 and my mac in an attempt to record this problem. In that instance, the sounds from the voice mail DO NOT fade in and out. I did find out that the dynamic range on the iPhone 5 is MUCH greater than that of the iPhone 4S, for some strange reason.
    - When I hold the phone up to my ear, the fading in and out does occur, but it is less noticeable. But it's still there.
    - When I leave my work area the problem goes away. However, because the iPhone 4S on the same AT&T service does not have this problem, this leads me to believe it's NOT a lack of transmission power from the AT&T cell tower. Rather, it is a reception issue at the iPhone5 side.
    - I turned off LTE, data and then made the calls. Same issue.
    I use this phone to make 60 minute calls for conference calls frequently. I cannot use it. Please advise. I am seriously considering returning this phone. Except i've sold my old iPhone 4 already. I'm in a bad place. Please help.
    Here's another post of a fellow with the same exact problem.
    http://forums.macrumors.com/showthread.php?t=1456404
    Apple, please look into this. I believe this is a problem with the noise cancellation software.

    I've got an update on this problem with fading volume. I've isolated it to the set volume on the phone for voice calls when using headphones. When the headphone volume is set between 1 and 6 (out of 16 squares) the callers volume will consistently fade in and out. The fading which is normal to zero volume at 2-5 Hz is serious enough that normal conversation is impossible.  When the volume is raised above 6/16 then the callers voice stabilize and I can hear all their words again. Unfortunately, at 6/16 volume their voices are too loud for the headphones.
    Furthermore, when headphones are plugged in, and I initial a call after the iphone5 was idle for several minutes, the first dial tone has preceded by a very loud pop an the tone, as though there was too much pressure (charge) that was dissipated all at once.
    Other details:
    - I used 3 different earphones, iPhone 4 headphones, altec earphones, an the new iPhone 5 earbuds. Same.
    - I turned on and off lte, data, Bluetooth, wifi. Problem persists unaffected.
    - when switching to iPhones earpiece and mic, the fading is gone.
    - I have 3 out of 5 bars where I teste this, in the city outside and on hwy 5 in central California. Same symptoms in all places I've tested.
    - I have exchanged my phone at the apple store. Same issue with both iPhones an I suspect all ipjone5s.
    - the ipjone4s does NOT have this problem when the volume is set lower. I can tell that the iPhone 5 must have a new audio filter to make the sounds have larger dynamic range. I liked the 4s better, because it is easier on the ears!

  • Stereo Fader Missing in LPX Arrange Window

    I've imported a project from LP9 and noticed that there is no Stereo output fader in the arrange window in LPX, it was there in LP9..
    So I create a "new" audio track and LPX generated Ch 81 (my mixer has 80 channels).  I selected "reassign track" to "Output Stereo -->Output 1-2" but I needed to toggle the automation button to see the automation already on that track (from my LP9 session).
    When I go to the environment to delete the redundant Ch 81, the Stereo output fader / track  in the arrange window disappears again.
    I repeat the process, and this time I leave Ch 81 intact and save the session.  When I reload the session, the stereo output fader is GONE. The automation still works but I cannot edit or see it...
    Why does Logic X not display the output fader assigned in the mixer?

    Hey there Logic Pro21,
    It sounds like you are seeing some odd performance issues with Logic Pro X. I recommend these troubleshooting steps specifically from the following article to help troubleshoot what is happening:
    Logic Pro X: Troubleshooting basics
    http://support.apple.com/kb/HT5859
    Verify that your computer meets the system requirements for Logic Pro X
    See Logic Pro X Technical Specifications.
    Test using the computer's built-in audio hardware
    If you use external audio hardware, try setting Logic Pro X to use the built-in audio hardware on your computer. Choose Logic Pro X > Preferences > Audio from the main menu and click the Devices tab. Choose the built in audio hardware from the Input Device and Output Device pop-up menus. If the issue is resolved using built-in audio, refer to the manufacturer of your audio interface.
    Start Logic with a different project template
    Sometimes project files can become damaged, causing unexpected behavior in Logic. If you use a template, damage to the template can cause unexpected results with any project subsequently created from it. To create a completely fresh project choose File > New from Template and select Empty Project in the template selector window. Test to see if the issue is resolved in the new project.
    Sometimes, issues with the data in a project can be repaired. Open an affected project and open the Project Information window with the Project Information key command. Click Reorganize Memory to attempt to repair the project. When you reorganize memory, the current project is checked for any signs of damage, structural problems, and unused blocks. If any unused blocks are found, you will be able to remove these, and repair the project. Project memory is also reorganized automatically after saving or opening a project.
    Delete the user preferences
    You can resolve many issues by restoring Logic Pro X back to its original settings. This will not impact your media files. To reset your Logic Pro X user preference settings to their original state, do the following:
    In the Finder, choose Go to Folder from the Go menu.
    Type ~/Library/Preferences in the "Go to the folder" field.
    Press the Go button.
    Remove the com.apple.logic10.plist file from the Preferences folder. Note that if you have programmed any custom key commands, this will reset them to the defaults. You may wish to export your custom key command as a preset before performing this step. See the Logic Pro X User Manual for details on how to do this. If you are having trouble with a control surface in Logic Pro X, then you may also wish to delete the com.apple.logic.pro.cs file from the preferences folder.
    If you have upgraded from an earlier version of Logic Pro, you should also remove~/Library/Preferences/Logic/com.apple.logic.pro.
    Restart the computer.
    Isolate an issue by using another user account
    For more information see Isolating an issue by using another user account.
    Reinstall Logic Pro X
    Another approach you might consider is reinstalling Logic Pro X. To do this effectively, you need to remove the application, then reinstall Logic Pro X. You don't have to remove everything that was installed with Logic Pro X. Follow the steps below to completely reinstall a fresh copy of Logic Pro X.
    In the Finder, choose Applications from the Go menu.
    Locate the Logic Pro X application and drag it to the trash.
    Open the Mac App Store
    Click the Purchases button in the Mac App Store toolbar.
    Sign in to the Mac App Store using the Apple ID you first used to purchase Logic Pro X.
    Look for Logic Pro X in the list of purchased applications in the App Store. If you don't see Logic Pro X in the list, make sure it's not hidden. See Mac App Store: Hiding and unhiding purchases for more information.
    Click Install to download and install Logic Pro X.
    Thank you for using Apple Support Communities.

  • Face time fades out and then tries to reconnect on new ipad retina display on WiFi.  Iphone 4s has no problem with face time from exact same location and same contact.  WiFi signal strong on both devices.  What gives?

    Face time fades out and then retries to connect (new Ipad Retina Display) on WiFi. Iphone 4s has no problem with face time from same location and same contact.  What gives?

    Is the router to small?
    Not necessarily, if you are using Facetime all the data goes through your WiFi router, your cable/DSL modem, your ISP and the internet to Apple's Facetime servers and then, in reverse, down to the Facetime recipient. If your ISP connection is too slow or there is excessive traffic on the internet you can have Facetime problems.
    Most WiFi routers can handle this unless others in the house are also using WiFi at the same time. The problem may be your ISP connection or congestion on the internet, etc.

  • How can I fade in menus with background video?

    Hi there,
    I'm new to this forum (and to DVD SP) and have searched without being able to find out how to get my menus to work in this scenario:
    I have a short (6s) background video that does not loop and ends on a still frame.
    There are two drop zones, both with semi-transparent areas so that I can see the video play underneath. One drop zone has my title (as text in DVD SP) and the other has my "play" button.
    I want my video to play for 5s and then have all the other elements fade in over the last second.
    Here's what I've tried (thanks to suggestions from here and dvdstudiopro.digitalmedianet.com--which uses js that really bogs down Firefox, BTW):
    A. I created a custom patch using PS that's a 6s .mov file that's simply a black mask that fades to white.-->this causes my drop zones (which are layered psd files with a mask of their own) to fade up, BUT the custom patch overrides the drop zone mask and causes the drop zone to become completely opaque.
    B. I tried separating the background video and menus into separate menus in DVD SP. The first menu plays the video, then jump to the second menu which contains the last frame of the video as a still with the drop zones and button on top.-->this works but there is a noticable delay going from menu 1 to menu 2 and it looks horrible.
    C. I created a 6s .mov file in FCP that does exactly what I want, but when I bring it into DVD SP, the quality suffers.-->I exported without compression from FCP and with, same bad results (especially in text).
    Is there a way for me to get this to work gracefully?
    I put a still of my menu with callouts at this url if it helps:

    Thanks very much and I appreciate the wealth of info in this forum.

    Hi
    Read this note about Menu rendering in DVDSP:
    If you edit all your elements in FCP, adding the graphic fade in/outs, texts, etc and then export it directly with Compressor to MPEG2, and use that file/s as Menu backgrounds, DVDSP will not re-encode these menus.
    If you add in DVDSP text, graphic for buttons, drop zones, etc it will need to render and encode the background again to add those graphics.
    Take care of what video format you choose in FCP for your background edit. DV codec works really bad with graphic elements; you better choose DVCPRO50 sequence settings and export directly from FCP through Compressor. That way FCP will use the raw info from each frame and not the render files as if you export as Quicktime Movie.
    Hope that helps !

  • Macbook pro 13 screen fades to black?

    Does any other owner of a mid 2010 MBP 13" (puchased 2/11) have this weird problem: when the laptop is warmed up, the screen randomly dims then fades to black then in a few seconds lights up again. In addition, while the screen fades, the lights look like, oddly, stage lighting. I have already had the whole screen replaced (the whole top), but it still persists. On my next call to Apple Support they told me this is reported by others and "they are working on it" and to look for a firmware update. All fine and dandy, but I have frustration in the meantime. I and my family have been owners of many mac products since 1990. They are all great products and now that I have a real issue, I am banking on great support.

    There are two other discussions about a similar topic.  See if resetting the SMC helps...otherwise, the other recommendation is to take it in for service.

  • How do I adjust my titles so they don't fade in and out? I have hundreds of photos/videos on screen for a second or so each, for a year-long birthday video, and I need the dates in my titles to be steady rather than fading in and out spastically.

    I have been working on a project since December of 2012 for my son's first birthday. Basically, it's a photo or quick video each day of his life so far. I used the "upper" title and made the titles not fade in and out, because that could give someone a seizure. The idea is a seamless title that ticks away each day. But in the new iMovie, it changed my settings, and I can't for the life of me find how to change them back.
    Now, each date flashes in and out, in and out, in and out. Fractions of seconds go by. It's really distracting and annoying.
    How do I get the titles to remain on screen and not fade in and out? I had it just how I wanted it, but now we're rapidly approaching my son's birthday, and the video is suddenly a mess.
    How do I fix this?

    I am working with the very same concept for my project and the auto fade in and out has messed everything up. If I hear or a fix I'll be sure to reply here to let you know!

  • How do I set up a track that my fade tool will work on?????

    I'm trying to do fades on my tacks using the fade tool.
    I open a new track, record something and go to tools and pick the fade tool.
    But it's not letting me do a fade at the start or the end of a track.
    I go to the inspector window and look at the Region Parameter Box.
    There I notice that there was not much info in the Region Parameter Box in the inspector window, just (loop, delay, follow tempo)
    On other tracks from the templets in logic 9 I could do a fade in and with the fade tool, but I notice the Region Parameter Box in the inspector window had a bunch more info like,
    (loop, delay, gain, fade in, curve, fade out, follow tempo)
    So how do I set up the track that has all that info in the inspector windows Region Parameter Box,
    then I could do my fades with my fade tool.
    Thanks for the help..........LEROX

  • Exporting animated gifs with fade transitions in PS CS6

    So I created a basic slideshow banner with three different images that fade from one to the next. When I preview it on the timeline, everything looks great, but when I go to save for web and select gif, then hit play for a preview, the fade transitions are gone and they just hard cut from one to the next. Anyone know how to keep those fade transitions when exporting?

    The only way to optimize this is to use less colors and define the frame durations manualyl in the timeline in frame mode, i.e. setting the actual posters to a very long duration on a single frame and then only have the transition regions use multiple frames with short durations. Still, I don't think you will ever arrive at 40-50kB. Even a normal mail blast with static PNGs/ GIFs and JPEGs is larger than that if it contains a huge logo, decorative lines and borders and button graphics... It's unrealistic. With the above optimizations you may get to somewhere about 300kB, but not below, if you wnat to retain the fades. They are what makes your files fat because they introduce lots of colors in teh palette that can't be optimized away easily...

  • Slide fade not working in Captivate 5

    Hello all -
    The project I'm creating requires fading in on slides. I've set the slides to fade, and when viewed the slides do not in fact fade. I've heard of a workaround that by accessing the dropdown menu under Transition and selecting another fade (which one is not relevant to the trick) that when fade is re-selected the fade behaves as expected. This hasn't been useful in this case. I've also cleared the cache thinking perhaps that would be helpful. This trick was also not a resolution.
    Thanks in advance to anyone with a suggestion to resolve this issue!

  • My firefox stops responding and fades for about a half min almost every hour, OR MORE often

    My firefox stops responding and fades for about a half min almost every hour, OR MORE often.
    I am typing a message or information, the screen fades to about half bright. the curser freezes in place and no key responds.
    The information bar at the top of the page says "firefox not responding" in about 30 seconds it restores and continues as tho nothing happens.

    I might have discovered the solution without starting over with all your places and bookmarks.
    Right after i installed 7.0.1 over a week ago,every 10-30 min When i would be watching videos online, it would freeze for 20-30 seconds. Firefox would say ( Not responding) both firefox and the plugin container process would be very large memory files. I tried to go back to Firefox 5.0. No avail it would still freeze.I tried to disable the plugin container . no good. I tried to adjust memory or cache or plugin settings in “about:config”.Nothing fixed it!
    I finally discovered why my Firefox 7.01 was periodic hanging fix. It is something to do with some of your personal files. download this this add on and install it
    https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/places-maintenance/
    or you can Google "places maintenance Firefox"
    After you install the add on, restart Firefox.go to "tools", then "add ons" and then click “extensions” tab ,then click' options" on the "places maintenance" entry. choose "ALL' or just "expire" and hit "execute", then wait until its done., restart Firefox. should be fine then and all my bookmarks, customizations ,settings, and history stays untouched!
    After i did this my Firefox did not freeze once for over 3 days straight. Might not work for everyone. I already read that Mozilla is aware of the problem and are working on a fix it in the full version of 8( the 8 beta did not fix the problem for me) . But they said this is a good temporary fix at least,( might be permanent)
    For me at least ,Firefox works fine in 7 now. perfect actually.And many people i saw on similar forums had similar problems.
    Enjoy. Hope this helped
