Finder & Dashboard effects not smooth..

When I minimize finders, or click the dashboard icon, screen effects such as Genie or Scale efects are not smooth in action most of the time on my 2.4 ghz MacBook Pro..
On my macpro, these effects are very smooth.
I heard that the Nvidia video card is faulty in this models, could this be the reason ?

It's possible. Here is the article on the NVIDIA chips:

Parallel effect not smooth for large content

Hi Everyone,
I have used the Parallel effect for animating some panels. Actually some panel contains big objects (like datagrid, list...) which is lead to affect the smoothness of the Parallel effect. Kindly let me know is there anyway to improve the smoothness.
Thanks in Advance

What kinds of effects are you using? Can you provide a small sample application that demonstrates this?

Need to find Video Effect Button cuz its not in Inspector

In my iMovie 11 i have audio effect instead of video effects in the inspector.
i don't know how to change it/ or find video effects button. Help? thanks

It seems that you are opening the Inspector from a clip in the Event Library. Video effects are not available for Event clips. You need to create a Project, then drag clips (or segments of clips) from the Event to the project timeline. For a new Project, select from the menu File > New Project.
Double-click on a clip in the Project to open the Inspector. In the Inspector's Clip tab you will see the following:
Click on the Video Effect selection bar to reveal the following panel:

I have a Ipone 4 I uploaded IOS 7 02 but My ıpone is scratchings. I am not finding as effective my ipone. When will solve this problem by Apple?

I have a Ipone 4 I uploaded IOS 7 02 but My ıpone is scratchings. I am not finding as effective my ipone. When will solve this problem by Apple? I want to return the old version. Can you help me please.

I have not had wifi since November when I upgraded to the newest IOS version. I called the Apple help line and they told me some things to do and I tried them all and they worked for a few hours and then wifi shut off again. I kept doing what they told me and it worked for a couple more days and then I could never turn it on again. My blue tooth doesn't work either. I had to actually increase my data usage with AT&T becuase of this. When I did that in December I went to the Apple store and was told that it is a hardware issue and since my phone is out of warranty I would have to pay for a new phone because they could not fix the issue. My upgrade isn't up until June 2014 so not only do I have to wait for the upgrade and I am not paying for a new phone but I have to pay $10 plus extra a month on my cell phone bill because I was going over on my Data!!! I have been beyond upset about this and Apple is not doing anything about this nor did they offer up some way to resolve the issue because obviously it is not just some rare incident if several people are having this issue. Who knows how many people out there have had this issue and have not said anything about it. Now there is a newer update that I can't do because it requires wifi in order to download.
June can not get here fast enough and I may not go back to Iphone after dealing with this for so long with no help from Apple.

DVCPRO HD - 24p from HDX900 not smooth

I am preparing to do an HD project on my FCP system. This weekend I ran some tests by downconverting a DVCPRO HD test tape w/ 24p and 30p footage with pans and other stuff to Beta-SP AND separately capturing thru FW400. The DC went thru an AJA SDI to component converter. Sweet little box. The Beta downconvert and resulting edits worked with no problem. The FW capture and edit (from a 1200a deck) led to mixed results.
If the edit timebase was 23.98, everything looked okay, but since my final output is SD via compressor, the SD file compressed from that timeline (to uncompressed 8-bit) showed problems in intrepreting the pans - the single problem I'm getting is an extra, duplicate frame of video every five frames.
This can be counted by pressing the forward motion cursor several times. Every 4th and 5th frame are the same. When you play it's a juddery effect. The Beta doesn't show this. The original 23.98 timebase timeline doesn't show this. Other manifestations of timelines (29.97) do. I believe this is 'normal' 24p footage. I captured with an easy setup of 720p24 and 720p30 to see if one got rid of the problem, but it didn't.
My ultimate goal is to downconvert to Beta first, so it won't affect me. But what if I wanted to go direct, as many recommend I do? I'd be in a bad way. So, what might I be missing? Much appreciated.
Chris

Just to clarify, (forget about the Bea downconvert part of my story) the way I'm going in this case is cutting the HD on a 23.98 timeline. So far, thankfully, that works. What's not working is the down-format. Ultimately, that will be in the form of a Betacam SP or DVCAM dub and certainly an SD DVD.
When I create the uncompressed 8-bit file in compressor, and reset the EZ setup in FCP to the BMD Decklink extreme codec, the remported file shows the camera pans displaying the extra fifth frame. I'm just trying to find a way to smooth out this part of the process. The experts on the group say creating SD through compressor at the end of the line is the thing to do. So I'm not so certain any of this points to my going the wrong way. But I'll be the first to admit I'm at my infancy in experience with HD and 24p. It get's a bit confusing.

IMovie 10.0.3 Ken burns not smooth

I am using iMovie 10.0.3 on my MacPro, I created a movie with 140 clips, each of them connected with transitions and all of them with ken burns effect and audio. After working fine for days, I noticed suddently that the zoom in and out of the Ken burns is not smooth but jerked. I would appreciate any help on this.

Maybe if its too large to all be in RAM and has to load in sections from disk. But this won't affect the final shared movie.
You can join two movies together using Quicktime Player. I use QT Player 7 but QT Player 10 can do it too. Its very fast and doesn't affect quality. I find it advantageous to split big projects into subprojects each not longer than 15 minutes, then join them together this way after sharing. You don't have 'all your eggs in one basket' and its quicker when doing final corrections to only have to re-share the part of a movie needing updating.

Not Smooth, Jerky & Slow.

Is anyone having this problem? Got leopard, set up my dock to magnify and automatically hide and show dock. As i tested, it lagged. Literally only had finder running. Turned off magnification and doesn't lag UNTIL you open 4 or 5 or more apps.. At the same time expose lags as-well as spaces. Really ruins the experience. Never had this problem with Tiger

Greetings,
In my particular case, I have had a smooth ride so far. I did an upgrade on this Macbook, and each of the installation methods on five of my other machines.
I have Pages, MSN IM, Numbers, iTunes, and iPhoto all open, right now, and the magnification, and the Genie effect are smooth as they can be. I have 2 Gig of Ram in this 2.16 Gig MacBook. Of course the more you load up, the slower the reaction time will be, it all depends on available memory, but as far as jerkiness, or being quirky goes, I have not seen that on any of my machines, so far.
I did notice with one of my machines that after I did an upgrade, I was sure that it should be quicker, so I backed up everything, and did a fresh load, by repartitioning and the disk, same sizes, just a different name. I reinstalled all the software that it had before, but it is noticeably faster and the space required was a bit less.
I won't use the upgrade method any longer, I like the speed difference and it's nice to have a clean drive/load. I'm sure not everyone is likely to see it this way, but to each his own.
I hope this helps in some small way. Have a Grand Day.
Cheers,
M.

Is there a way of making the Edge Commons parallax effect work smoothly with DPS on the iPad?

I want to create a feature for an iPad magazine utilising the parallax effect shown here...
Parallax Scrolling Made Easy (Adobe Edge Animate Online Week, Episode 9) - YouTube
I am using Digital Publishing Suite to publish to an iPad. I ran a test and the effect partially works, but not smoothly.
As you scroll down the animation does not play. Once you finish scrolling the animation then jumps to whichever point has been reached on the timeline, rather than animating as you scroll down the page.
Is there a way to get the same animation effect through DPS that you see in the browser? Or is it not compatible?
Thanks!

As lllaass said, you can't.
If you want Apple to add backgrounds to the iPad version, leave them feedback: http://apple.com/feedback/ipad.html.

Dashboard Prompts Not Working in OBIEE 10g

Hi People,
I developed a report with two dimension column and a fact column.
NBTY Level 1
NBTY Level 2
Spend Amount
NBTY Level 1 and 2 are from dimension and Spend Amount is a fact column. Both are joined in star schema. The results are correct.
So now i published the same report in a new dashboard, and created a new dashboard prompt on Dimension column "NBTY Level 1". I applied filter on the same column (Is Prompted) in report.But when i gave a value in Dashboard Prompt, the report is not changing. I cannot even find any trace of error displayed. When the prompt is selected and clicked on 'GO' button there is no moment in browser, it stays still. I have also permissions and everything is fine
Can some one please help in finding the problem, its an urgent issue, what possibly could go wrong?

Thank You for your reply.
Yes the prompt column is from same subject area.
I Created a Column Prompt in the report using the same column and it worked for that report. But when i used that prompt in dashboard its not applying.
I will share a logical query for Report but How should i fing logical query for a prompt?
The total behavior looks very strange.

My Macbook Pro's navigation is not smooth and screen shakes after after i open folders

I just bought my macbook pro 15" and i am experiencing some problems
For example,
i put safari or any application to full screen. So whenever i move my curser to the top of the screen to i can activate the bar (File - Edit - View - .. etc) It doesn't show and go down smoothly
Whenever I navigate to the right and left with my three fingers, its never smooth ... It keeps breaking and become slow
When I scroll to open my notification center its not smooth
Sometimes the screen shakes when i open an application or do certain things
I guess its a software problem. Please help me find a solution because its getting really frustrating, especially that i just bought it
Thank you a lot

I'm trying to reverb an audio clip in my timeline and I can't find the effect tab in the browser to drag to my audio clip to reverb. I can reverb the clip in the viewer but can't it won't drag to the timeline. I'm using FCE

I'm trying to reverb an audio clip in my timeline and I can't find the effect tab in the browser to drag to my audio clip to reverb. I can reverb the clip in the viewer but it won't drag to the timeline. I'm using FCE

You cannot drag the effects themselves to the timeline. You add them to a clip in the Viewer, just as you have done.
If the clip was already in the timeline when you opened it in the Viewer (by double-clicking it in the timeline to open it in the Viewer) and then added the reverb effect, there is nothing further to do, you have added the effect to the clip. You don't drag it back to the timeline.
You only have to drag the clip to the timeline if the clip was not already in the timeline (for example, if you opened the clip from the FCE Browser; or set different In and Out points in a master clip to use a different portion of the master clip in a different location in your timeline).
Depending on the effect you add, you may have to render the timeline after adding the effect. But I don't think reverb requires immediate rendering. One other note, you said you were working with an audio clip ... audio clips need to be AIFF (not MP3 or something else) and preferably 16-bit stereo.

Dashboard does not open in Mavericks

I updated my MacPro from Mountain Lion to Mavericks using the download from the app store. Since this update, the Dashboard will not open.

Please read this whole message before doing anything.
This procedure is a test, not a solution. Don’t be disappointed when you find that nothing has changed after you complete it.
Step 1
The purpose of this step is to determine whether the problem is localized to your user account.
Enable guest logins* and log in as Guest. Don't use the Safari-only “Guest User” login created by “Find My Mac.”
While logged in as Guest, you won’t have access to any of your documents or settings. Applications will behave as if you were running them for the first time. Don’t be alarmed by this behavior; it’s normal. If you need any passwords or other personal data in order to complete the test, memorize, print, or write them down before you begin.
Test while logged in as Guest. Same problem?
After testing, log out of the guest account and, in your own account, disable it if you wish. Any files you created in the guest account will be deleted automatically when you log out of it.
*Note: If you’ve activated “Find My Mac” or FileVault, then you can’t enable the Guest account. The “Guest User” login created by “Find My Mac” is not the same. Create a new account in which to test, and delete it, including its home folder, after testing.
Step 2
The purpose of this step is to determine whether the problem is caused by third-party system modifications that load automatically at startup or login, by a peripheral device, by a font conflict, or by corruption of the file system or of certain system caches.
Please take this step regardless of the results of Step 1.
Disconnect all wired peripherals except those needed for the test, and remove all aftermarket expansion cards, if applicable. Start up in safe mode and log in to the account with the problem. You must hold down the shift key twice: once when you turn on the computer, and again when you log in.
Note: If FileVault is enabled, or if a firmware password is set, or if the startup volume is a Fusion Drive or a software RAID, you can’t do this. Ask for further instructions.
Safe mode is much slower to start up and run than normal, with limited graphics performance, and some things won’t work at all, including sound output and Wi-Fi on certain models. The next normal startup may also be somewhat slow.
The login screen appears even if you usually log in automatically. You must know your login password in order to log in. If you’ve forgotten the password, you will need to reset it before you begin.
Test while in safe mode. Same problem?
After testing, restart as usual (not in safe mode) and verify that you still have the problem. Post the results of Steps 1 and 2.

Adobe Acrobat X Pro writing text not smooth.

I use tablet pc for education in university and I try Adobe Acrobat X Pro writing text it not smooth text can you have add-in pen input support or support pen writing (smooth)for tablet pc?

If you want to annotate the PDF directly on a tablet, use PDF Annotator. The annotation capabilities of Acrobat are poor. You also have to select the erase tool to erase, rather than just turn the pen over. PDF Annotator works the way you would expect annotation to work with a pen. It is also useful if you grade PDFs on the tablet. The only thing I find annoying with Annotator is that the paging is a bit clunky. You should be able to find an educational price for the package, or possibly your school has it under license. There is a 30-day trial if you would like to try it. Most folks here would not dream of annotating with Acrobat for the same reasons you have found.

Playback of iPhoto movies not smooth

For 5 years I have taken a lot of nice avi movies with my compact Nikon S210 camera. They always play back very smoothly and are a pleasure to watch directly on my Mac, via a large attached monitor or even to my Apple TV.
But this past week my daughter purchased a Panasonic Lumix DMC-Z25. A super camera that records videos in either a "clip" mode or in mp4 format. Great it would seem, except that when playing back these "movies" in iPhoto (latest version, running 10.8.3 on my MacBook Pro mid-2010) they are jerky-- not smooth. Sometimes if I play the same video 5 times over, it gets better. But then I play another one, go back to that one, and it is jerky again. Same if played with QuickTime. BUT never a problem with the avi movies taken on my other camera -- only this Lumix gives the jerky playbacks. Why?
I am ready to purchase a Lumix but WILL NOT if I am going to have videos like that!

Old Toad and TD: This is the reply from PANASONIC. NOTE: They thought I was having problems in iMovie. I was talking about the latest version of iPhoto. So I tried iMovie, and all the videos that were choppy in iPhoto played perfectly and smoothly in iMovie. GREAT-- but I hardly ever use iMovie-- I find it an awkward program to use just to view a few nice short videos… So fine that it works in iMovie, but I need videos to play in iPhoto.
My questions after the reply below (to you and I already eMailed these to Panasonic) are:
Have I possibly set the videos (AVCHD and mp4) to record in 50 fps mode which apparently won't play correctly in iPhoto? Actually I was trying to record in 50 fps, but when I did INFO in iPhoto it always said 25 fps (but with my old Nikon Coolpix S210 it said 30 fps)
How can I find the fps info when I import the videos into iMovie?
They said 50 fps is not supported by iMovie-- but is it? Perhaps it is supported by iMovie and not iPhoto??
Panasonic mentions some software/drivers. Is that something I perhaps need to do? Attach the camera and install drivers? How will that work with iPhoto?????
What else???
Here's that reply from Panasonic:
Thank you for your e-mail.
Regarding your enquiry, thank you for displaying the full problem. As I understand the videos playback perfectly in VLC media player, which means that the video itself is recorded perfectly, and the problem needs to be with the iMovie software that does not fully support the video format. We kindly recommend you contact Mac as this is an issue that they need to solve in order for you to playback properly the movie.
I hope you can understand my point of view, because if the problem where to be with the DMC-TZ25, the video should have played back choppy using any media player, but given this situation, the problem is only with the iMovie.
The following information is the only one we have regarding using the DMC-TZ25's software on a Mac computer:
Please note that 50p footage available on some cameras is not supported by Imovie.
The supplied software is not Mac compatible.
Connect the camera to the Mac, selecting ‘PC’ on the cameras connection options. The camera will install using drivers built into the Mac and appear on the desktop.
Iphoto should start up automatically when the camera is connected to the Mac, and give you the option to import your Photos and Motion JPEG Video. We recommend using OSX 10.4 onwards and Iphoto 08 onwards.
To download your AVCHD video you will need to use the Imovie 09 package from Apple. Imovie will not automatically open. You will need to open Imovie and then click on the Import button on the left hand side of the software.
Please note that Imovie 08 will detect the AVCHD videos on the camera but may crash when importing. There is advice on the Apple website regarding this: http://support.apple.com/kb/HT3481
For further help using the Mac applications please refer to the Apple website, contact Mac by phone or visit your nearest Mac store.
I trust that the above information will be of assistance to you. However, of course, if you should have any further queries, please do not hesitate to contact us.
Best regards,

Keyframes Not Smooth

Hello,
I'm newly working with Premiere, I haven't used it in a few years because I've been working with Final Cut.
But I'm having a problem with keyframes. I don't know if it is just not smooth or if its a glitch but my motion through keyframes bounce and are jittery.
Here is a video clip of it.
http://www.vimeo.com/12830032
I've messed with the bezier settings and nothing will render smooth. Any ideas?
-Jaeson

I'm not seeing Hold keyframes...? They look like regular ol' Bezier keyframes to me.
My guess is that you need to set spatial (not temporal) interpolation to linear, from the default Bezier. With spatial (that is, position) changes, the Bezier interpolation can create some pretty weird and usually undesired side effects.
Beyond that, the effects you're using might be causing the problem. I've often had trouble getting Basic 3D to animate cleanly; at times it will just throw random garbage frames into the mix, completely inexplicably. Also, if you turn off the Bevel Alpha and Drop Shadow effects, do you get the same result? I've noticed some oddities and unexpected behavior with some of the effects that modify clip alpha channels, as those do.
