FCE 4 Problem: Color bar thru the Viewer

I just upgraded to FCE4 and have found two annoyances already....
1)I get a horizontal color bar running thru the middle of the image in the viewer. It's mostly an aqua color but there are shades of other colors in it (which vary from image to image). Is this some sort of new feature or is something wrong here. I sure can't see (or imagine) any purpose to it. I did two installs -- on an iMac and a MacBook Pro -- and the problem is only showing up on the iMac.
2) The controls seem very different... In 3.5 you could right click on a clip to cut it from the timeline. Can't do that now. Are the controls really that different from 3.0 & 3.5, or is this another glitch?
As long as I'm asking questions... Anyone got a good text/manual to recommend? It's feeling like I need to re-learn how to use FCE. I wouldn't have expected an upgrade to be so different from the earlier version (eg, right clicking to cut and paste clips should have stayed unchanged, in my book).
Thanks for any help you care to offer..

Tom,
Thanks for your response. Here's a screenshot...

I've also deleted FCE4 from the HD (also deleting the plist file and the project file) and reinstalled it; after importing the same files, I get the same result. Other things I've noticed...
1) If I import the same files into FCE4 on my MacBookPro I have no problem.
2) Once I drop the file from the Viewer onto the timeline, and then re-open it in th Viewer from the timeline, the color bar is gone.
3) The color bar is not showing up in the Canvas or the icons on the Timeline.
4) If I import the same files into FCE 3.5.1, I have no problem. (BTW, I'm back to using 3.5.1 until I receive my copy of your book.)
So the imported files are not corrupt; the problem is somewhere else. Or maybe I'm just missing something obvious (well, it'd have to be less than obvious).
Thanks for any thoughts you may have,
Seismo

  • Can't see secondary color correction in the viewer! Help...

    Hello, fairly new at FCPro but I am trying to isolate reds in a clip and change them to purple & orange. I am using the Color Corrector Filter and when isolating the reds and making adjustments I do not see any changes in the viewer.
    The eyeball icon on the top left of the window is checked but I can't visually see any changes happening. Can someone please tell me what is going on?
    Thanks,
    Dan G

    One other simple gotcha is to be color correcting but the viewer is not showing the current clip (the one you are working on...)

  • What is the pink line in the scrubber bar of the viewer?

    I'm currently editing a multi cam project and there's a pink line in the scrubber bar of the viewer? At the "in point" of the line there's a triangle on top, at the "end point" there's a triangle on the bottom. Does anyone have any information of what caused it and/or how to get rid of it.
    Thanks

    Not familiar with a pink line...

  • Can I show a color bar instead of a color bullet in iCal Monthly view for all my events in all calendars?

    In the Monthly view of iCal the only events that show a color bar in the event is the Birthday Calendar. All other events in all my other calendars only show a color bullet next to the event (unless I click on that event which then shows as a color bar). I would like to know if it is possible for all the calendar events to have a color bar in the monthly view instead of just that tiny color bullet.

    Greetings Judith,
    Before making any attempts at deleting calendar data, backup what you have just in case:
    Click on each calendar on the left hand side of iCal one at a time highlighting it's name and then going to File Export > Export and saving the resulting calendar file to a logical location for safekeeping.
    iCal has an automated function located in iCal > Preferences > Advanced > Delete events "X" days after they have passed.  By typing in a value for days you can tell iCal to delete all events before that time frame.
    Example:
    Today is 4-16-2012.
    If I wanted to delete all events prior to 1 year ago (4-16-2011) I would type in "365" for the number of days.
    Once you type in the number of days you want kept in iCal, close the preferences and then quit iCal.
    Re-open iCal and check to see if the events are gone.  If not you may want to leave it open for several minutes and then quit again.
    Once the events are removed go back to  iCal > Preferences > Advanced > Delete events "X" days after they have passed and make sure the check mark is removed to prevent future deletion.
    Hope that helps.

  • How to add custom buttons in the tool bar of the crystal reports viewer

    Hi,
    I'm using Crystal report viewer (Crystal 2008) in my report and I want to add custom buttons and handle them in the tool bar of the viewer. Is there anyway to achieve this?
    Please help me in this regard.
    Thanks in advance.
    Siva.

    I did this by adding a picturebox to the toolbar, the same size as the buttons, and loading in an image, and putting code into the Click event of the picturebox.
    I also put code into the MouseHover event to change the picture's background color and into the MouseLeave event to change it back.
    I have a couple of these buttons. They work very nicely and really look like part of the toolbar.

  • Uniform Color across 50+ images with Kodak color bar

    Hi,
    I shoot 50+ paintings using a Kodak color bar at the bottom of each image, thing is during the shoot the light change from start to finish as the sun moved around, (dumb I know), so is there anyway to get the images to be uniform color across the whole collection. I want to acheive where the color bar is exactly the same in each image?
    I shot everything in RAW...
    Thanks
    SEan

    You're going to have to do an individual gray balance on a white or gray patch on every image, as it will not be the same correction for each image. As the light changes it changes color, which is going to be the biggest factor. The changing angles of light reflecting off the paintings can also affect the color rendition. In the end, it really depends on how accurately you need to reproduce the color in the paintings. The more accurate you need to be, the more you will need to make individual corrections in Ps for each image.
    When I do this, I correct to the actual painting viewed under a Solux lamp 90 degrees away from my monitor. The best and most accurate color I've seen to date is processing the raw files in CaptureOne and gray balancing to a portion of the white seamless paper in the background. Even complicated paint pigments came right into line with a single click. The input profiles in C1 are truly amazing now.
    You may run into problems also with the Kodak color bars themselves. Far too often when you get them looking right, your painting is way off. The pigments used in the color bars react differently to light than the pigments in the painting, and the grayscale steps are never right. They always seem to clip both ends long before you start clipping any detail in your painting.

  • How to organize the sample color grid in the Color box?

    Do you have any tips/tricks to keep the small squares of color in the Color menu organized? These are the color samples that you pull from the color bar at the top of the box and that you drag onto the grid for future reference. I have been willy nilly dragging squares of color onto that grid and it works fine for short term work but I cannot remember what square was for what if I have left that page and need to return to fix or change something. The only thing I can think of is to make a paper graph and notate on that hardcopy.
    One thing that I have been doing is, for colors that are hard to distinguish, I load the tiny squares onto FOUR grid squares to make one bigger square of the sample color.
    But..... does anyone have another way?

  • Can you shorten the google bar at the top so it doesn't always cover up the personas?

    This is a minor problem, but most of the personas have a graphic in the right corner and the google search bar always covers it up. Can you shorten the bar? I know this sounds inconsequential, but it seems to always cover the right side where the graphic is.
    Thanks~

    You can add Space elements at the right of the search bar in the "View > Toolbars > Customize" window to make the search bar move to the left.

  • Color bars question in Premiere

    See the difference in color bars. The one in the program window at right is quite a bit brighter than than the source view. When I double click the "bars and tones" clip in the project panel, the image opens up in the source view on the left. When I place the same file on the timelime it appears lighter in the program view at right. No effects applied. Why is there such a difference and which should I calibrate with?

    I actually have a Matrox MX02 Mini which has a calibrator, but I find it unreliable. When I calibtrate its color bars, the video looks way too bright - not even close.
    I am still curious about the two different outputs in Premiere. This is a clip after I placed it on the timeline. Source view on the left is quite a bit darker than the program view.

  • No color bars

    Using PPro Ver 4.2 CS4 on HP xw8400 with an Matrox Axio LE
    Today I went to add color bars in my sequence like I've been able to do on many projects and I get black. The color bars match the sequence properties for frame size (1280 x 720) and the audio tone plays. If I make the bars 720 x 480 and drop them into the 1280 x 720 sequence they show up. If I take the same 1280x720 bars and scale them, I can see the color bars as I scale but they go black as soon as I try to play them. If I put the 720x480 bars on a layer above the 1280 x 720 bars, both sets of bars show up. Also there are no other video layers above the bars.
    How do I get back to the simple task of putting bars & tone in a sequence?

    I don't know on what hardware (XW8400 comes in many flavors) under what OS with what sequence settings under what version (4.2.0 or 4.2.1). I can only tell you it works here, under different sequence settings. However Matrox always makes me suspicious.
    A woman in a hot air balloon realized she was lost. She lowered her altitude and spotted a man in a boat below. She shouted to him, "Excuse me, can you help me? I promised a friend I would meet him an hour ago, but I don't know where I am."
    The man consulted his portable GPS and replied, "You're in a hot air balloon approximately 30 feet above a ground elevation of 2346 feet above sea level. You are 31 degrees, 14.97 minutes north latitude and 100 degrees, 49.09 minutes west longitude."
    She rolled her eyes and said, "You must be a Republican."
    "I am," replied the man. "How did you know?"
    "Well," answered the balloonist, "everything you told me is technically correct, but I have no idea what to make of your information, and I'm still lost. Frankly, you've not been much help to me."
    The man smiled and responded, "You must be a Democrat."
    "I am," replied the balloonist. "How did you know?"
    "Well," said the man, "you don't know where you are or where you're going. You've risen to where you are due to a large quantity of hot air. You made a promise that you have no idea how to keep, and you expect me to solve your problem. You're in exactly the same position you were in before we met, but somehow now, it's my fault."

  • How to get the view tree from a jsp page

    Hi,
    I would like to get the view tree of a jsp page. The idea is to dynamically include the content of one or more jsf pages into a UIPanel during a "value changed" event.
    So, i could get from an arbitrary page like ...
    <%@ taglib uri="http://java.sun.com/jsf/core"   prefix="f" %>
    <%@ taglib uri="http://java.sun.com/jsf/html"   prefix="h" %>
    <h:panelGrid columns="3" width="100%" rowClasses="gridTop">
        <h:outputText value="#{someBean.someValue}"/>
    </h:panelGrid>... the corresponding List of components...
    Any idea?

    Thanks for your answer Jayashri,
    The view tree can be retrieved by this way during the page is parsed, for example with scriptlets <%%>, or once the page has been parsed (the view has been builded and attached to the FacesContext).
    My problem is to get the view tree of a page from another Context.
    The idea is to build a dynamic layout of some pages that represents "views". I can imagine this like the concept of perspectives and views of Eclipse IDE.
    Because of the difficulty to build it with pure JSP (cannot use dynamic ID nor JSTL ForEach), I try to build it into my backing bean and to bind it with a <h:panelGrid/>. By this way, I'm not able to use the <jsp:include/> tag as I usually did to include some content into the view tree.
    Sorry for my english ;)

  • Color Bars Flickering in Finished DVD

    I have been converting my 8mm analog videos using a Pinnacle converter. Using imovie I create movies and then create dvds using idvd. My finished dvds tend to have flickering (rolling) color bars in the movie. These bars are usually horizontal and appear in images which are usually vibriant red and blue (happens in ilife 4 & 5).
    This condition does not appear in imovie, it only appears in the final burned dvd. I don't get the condition when I make movies with DV from my new Sony DV camcorder.
    Any ideas?
    Rich

    It may not be a feature of your DVD, but of that particular DVD player or TV screen (..if you're watching it on a TV).
    Some players - and TVs - play 'interlaced' video, and others can play 'progressive' video.
    iMovie generally shows video in the format which computer screens show it; that's to say a whole picture at a time, refreshed, say, 75 times a second. 'Interlaced' TV shows pictures refreshed 60 times a second (in the US) or 50 times a second (Europe) ..and each of those pictures has just half the complete picture ..showing odd or even interwoven horizontal sections (lines) of the picture.
    'Progressive scan' devices (players and TVs) collect both those halves, then display all the picture, either 30 times (US) or 25 times (Europe) a second. Some people say that gives a 'sharper' picture, but others find that it 'flickers' slightly, and looks more jerky.
    Sometimes those 'fields' (half-pictures) get reversed, so that movement seems particularly jerky, or 'backwards-jumpy'.
    The characteristic you're seeing - if I understand you correctly - may be incorrect 'interlacing' by the Pinnacle, giving emphasis to the 'wrong' field (..in the US, in NTSC video, it's upper field [half-picture] first; in Europe [PAL video] it should be lower field first.
    You probably wouldn't see any result of this in iMovie, or on a computer screen ..but when seen on a TV it can give this odd 'fringing'.
    Also, anything with vibrant red is difficult to process well in video (..professionals avoid solid reds, and try to 'weaken' them to prevent 'bleed' or other artifacts at the borders between red and other colours).
