File out node settings

I use shake and I have trouble with the final image quality. After I export it to quicktime movie I can see that the picture is not clear and there is a lot of noise.
So I would like to ask you about the best way to export (file out node) my project. Is quick time good enough for that? Is there another renderer for shake that reaches great quality?
Please let me know....thanx a lot

ctually the problem I have is the quality of the final video, I dont care about the format type I just care about the "great possible quality" So I was wondering if there is a separate compressor that I can render my video so I can reach "movie quality"to understand better my problem I ll give you a simple example:
I exported a single shot from final cut pro to uncompressed quicktime format. Then I imported this shot in Shake. After that I put a person as a chroma key layer with my first video. It looks good in shake , almost perfect but when I render it quicktime uncompressed I see that shity noise!!! What am I doing wrong?

Shake Rendering File out Node Crashing problem

I have 4.1 with leopard installed on my Imac intel 2.16 core duo machine and every time I try to render a file out node, it crashes or quits unexpectedly. Does this happen with anyone else or can anyone tell me how to fix this problem? Apparently, there have been some issues with this but I cant get a straight answer. Any help would be appreciated. Thanks

To trash preferences, close down Shake, go to your user directory, then navigate to Library/Preferences and delete the file called com.apple.shake.plist. Empty the trash, then fire up Shake again.
I had a weird bug today. I was trying to output a single-frame PNG and it came out garbled. I tried all kinds of things like trashing prefs, changing settings, etc. In the end, I outputted it as a TIFF, and converted it in Photoshop, which worked perfectly.
For your issue, try outputting it as a sequence of TIFF images and see if it works. Just do a short range of frames to test it.

File Out Tiff Image Sequence

Hello! Can anyone recommend/explain the correct settings in the File Out node to output a TIFF Image Sequence?
Thanks!

Wow, I just figured out the Shake problem. First off you are right, my "black background" is an alpha mask. But why is it there?!? It is a "bug" in Shake:
FileOut - Quicktime Movie - Animation - Options - Compression Settings - "MillionsofColors" - Okay
Now, when I reopen the FileOut node to double check my Compression Settings, it has defaulted BACK to "MillionsofColors+" So yeah, "MillionsofColors" should result in an alpha-free export BUT SHAKE WILL NOT RETAIN A SELECTION OF ANYTHING OTHER THAN "MillionsofColors+" I tried setting it to "Black and White," "ThousandsofColors" - same issue - the export still has an alpha because Shake took the Compression Setting back to "MillionsofColors+"
So thanks for all your help on this, I'm glad your system is not operating with this quirk.
I'm pretty sure I hate Shake.

Trouble with File Out rendering

When rendering File Out nodes, Shake sometimes are not overwriting the existing file (when rendering multiple times..)
How can I get Shake to overwrite the existing File Out file?

It has been my experience that if Shake encounters an error writing to the FileOut (say if FCP has the file open), you encounter NO error message. Shake will spend the time rendering but never write out the file. In general, just prior to rendering, I delete the output at the finder level...

How can I get settings files out of the Library folder?

I had to do a clean reinstall (erase & reinstall) to clear up some problems on my Mac. Unfortunately, when you do this, your settings, customizations, bookmarks etc. aren't transferred over as they do when you upgrade in the normal way.
For example, dashboard widgets are in each user's <home folder>/Library/Widgets folder.
I could restore some of these settings by dragging the settings files from the old System Folder to the new one. Unfortunately, Apple is making this harder by hiding the Library folder in the user folder, both on the Mac and on the backup drive.
There is a command to enter in Terminal to show your Library folder, but this only seemed to work on the Mac and not on my backup drive.
How can I get key settings files out of the Library folder on my backup drive when the Library folder is hidden?
Thanks

Open the enclosing folder, choose Go to Folder from the Finder's Go menu, and provide Library as the path.

What's the function of "Manage checked out files" in library settings?

hi there,
can anyone tell the function of "Manage checked out files " in library settings? it seems the place to manage all the checked out files in that library. but i can't see any one there. thanks in advance.
allan

Hi,
The checked out files page will only show files which have no checked in version. It is a way for a library administrator to clean up a document library. Imagine you created a new document that was only checked out to you and had no checked in version. It wouldn't show up in list views for anyone else. You have to go to that page to delete this document.
If you want to see all the checked out files in your library, you can create a new view and filter the view by “check out to” column (“check out to” column “is greater than or equal to” give a value like character A)
Hope it can help you.

Apple ID greyed out in Settings-how to change?

My grandaughter got a new iPod Touch. She is using her mother's apple id but wants to change to one of her own. The iPod is already set up with mother's id, and the id is greyed out in Settings. How can she change the id to her own?

Appears that the Restriction that prevents changing accounts is set. Go to Settings>General>Restrictions. Restrictions is passcode protected
Forgotten RESTRICTIONS Passcode
- Restore from a backup that was make before you added the Restrictions passcode. If you restore from a backup made with the Restrictions passcode the Restrictions passcode is also restored.
- Restore to factory settings/new iPod.
- If you are up to file manipulation see:

Dragging Files Out Of iTunes

Hey guys
I want to drag files out of my iTunes library, onto a flash drive so i can put it onto my PS3. Anyway, some of the albums i have drag like normal, and i can put them on, but some albums dont. When i drag the files, nothing happens. Even when i try and drag them to the desktop, still nothing. So i go right click, and show in windows explorer, but i get the error "c:/documents and settings.... etc." "Access Id Denied"
But i can access the file that is in my My Music folder, if you get me, but just can't drag it out of iTunes. Anyway know of a solution? I don't want to drag it out of my My Music folder, because the album artwork doesn't follow it, but if i drag it out of the iTunes library, album art follows it.
Cheers.

What kind are the files you are trying to copy from itunes?

I have paid for a year subscription, but all the PDF's I attempt to export to Word give me a "Conversion Error" message, citing that the "file's security settings do not allow export." I want a refund. Adobe, please advise. Thank you.

Hi la recruiter,
There are a few types of files that Acrobat can't convert--and PDF files with security applied is one on them. I'm happy to cancel your subscription, if you decide that it's not going to work out for you. Please confirm that you'd like me to proceed with the cancelation, and I'll take care of it right away.
Best,
Sara

HT4889 I've already set up my new MacBook Pro, I want to migrate all my stuff from my old MacBook OS X 10.6.4. Will it wipe out the settings in the new computer?

Of course not. Migration Assistant will create a new user with the transferred files and settings, so your MacBook Pro won't get messed > http://pondini.org/OSX/MigrateLion.html

How to work out import settings?

Is there a way to work out what settings were used to shoot a HD video in from the file?
In an attempt to practice HD editing, I've borrowed some HD footage to play with. However, all I have at the moment is an SD card, the shooter doesn't know what settings it was shot at, ("whatever it came set-up as") or even the model beyond, "It's a Panasonic"
So can I work out what import settings to use to transfer this footage from the files contained on the card?

Yes, in FCP, you can select any clip and (right click) choose 'ITEM PROPERTIES' This should show the 'META DATA from the camera. But it will also show if the clip has been transcoded.
Or in QuickTime Pro (7), choose Window Menu and choose Movie Inspector, Properties

How do I install Snow Leopard while keeping files, applications, and settings

I need to update my system, I realized that I need Snow Leopard (quiet late) before Maverick. My question is, how can I install it keeping files and all the data. I found this on Internet, does it work?
Install Snow Leopard while keeping files, applications, and settings
If you follow these steps, the installer will replace your operating system if one is already present, but will preserve your account information and personal files. You may have to reinstall some applications, however.
Insert the install disc (or the first install disc if you have more than one) into your disc drive. Restart your computer while holding down the c key. This causes your computer to start up from the install disc rather than your hard drive. When you see the gray Apple insignia, release c .
The Mac OS X installer should open automatically. Follow the on-screen prompts to read and accept the license agreement and begin the installation. When prompted to choose a destination disk, select your preferred location and click Install.
When the Mac OS X installation finishes with the disc, restart your computer. After the installation completes, a configuration program may begin automatically if you are installing for the first time. You will need to supply basic setup information for your computer.
Update your system software to ensure that you have the most recent operating system components. From the Apple menu, select Software Update... , and then follow the instructions on the screen. Often, you will have to restart your computer, and you may have to run Software Update multiple times before it can completely update your system.

That's why you need to back it up. You won't need to restore the backup immediately afterwards unless something goes wrong during the upgrade, but you'll need it later; the drive will eventually fail.

The "always allow" button is grayed out in settings regarding cookies, and I can not find where to change the setting. (Restrictions are not on.)

The "always allow" button is grayed out in settings regarding cookies, and I can not find where to change the setting. (Restrictions are not on.) Do you know where I go to change the setting to allow me to "always allow" cookies?

Hi lisaarnett111,
If you are having issues turning on Always Allow for cookies in Safari on your iPad, you may want to check to make sure that you don't have Private Browsing enabled, as noted in the following article:

Deleting files out of system preferences desktop background.

Does anyone know how to delete files out of system preferences>desktop & screen saver?
Some how when adding one photo to the file for the desktop background it took the entire photo file. So that instead of one photo for the file it has over 200 now. Read everything and tried everything. Still can't figure out how to delete that file from the list.
I know how to add photos or whatever to use as desktop background just no idea how to remove them from the list.
Any ideas?

Doug,
When you go to system preferences>desktop & screen savers>desktop. On the left is a window with the names of the images listed. Apple Images, Nature file, Plants file, Picture Folder, Choose Folder and so forth. The ones that come with Apple products. Not sure what all else is native to Apple.
Iv been using my own desktop background since the day I got the iBook. Normally I just get one photo or image and more it there to use. But, last week I did something different or wrong. Maybe holding a button to long, not sure. Instead of moving the one photo it moved the entire photo file. That file had over 200 (2,500x1,800 in size & over 550KB for each) and probably closer to 250 photos in it.
Way to many to be there. And I simply can't find a way to remove that file from the desktop list. I can high light it, but it doesn't delete with the delete button. I can high light it, but it doesn't change anything in system preferences banner to edit, view, etc....to remove it either. It won't click & drag to trash.
Being very careful because I don't want to delete the file and by error delete it totally off the computer. I could creat a new file with only 1 photo in it for use as the desktop background. Then try to choose that file. However, since the last big OS-X update it's been doing this. Everytime I choose a file or photo it's adding the entire file not just the 1 photo. And Iv managed to add 3 files so far to that list.
Any ideas? Thx, Mike

Error 7 occurred at Copy in ABAPI Dist New VI Library.vi- ABAPI Dist Chk for Destinations.vi- ABAPI Copy Files and Apply Settings.vi- EBEP_Invoke_Build_Engine.vi- EBUIP_Build_Invoke.vi- EBUIP_Build_Invoke.vi.ProxyCaller

When I try to build executables in LabView 8.01 I get message:

Best Regards

I got the same error as I tried to build my application, the reason was the string I set for the 'Build specification name' property of my build.
I changed from '3DC - Dlog Data Compacter ' to '3DC' and it worked afterwards..quite strange behaviour..
