Flickerring after applying auto levels filter

Don't have enough lighting on my clips. I added the auto levels filter and it looks great, but I notice lots of flickering when there is movement. The flickering did not exist before applying the filter. And when I apply the anti-flicker filter it doesn't seem to do much. Would a software like Avid be better at adding light to a clip? Is there something else I could do with Adobe Premiere CS3 to address this problem?
Thanks

Don't use Autolevels. You rarely get good results with the easy button
solution. Use Curves instead.

Apply Auto Enhance filter to Multiple images Simultaneously?

Greetings Apple Discussions:
Is it possible to apply the (Preset: Quick Fixes: "Auto Enhance") filter to 89 images at the same time or in a batch?
If Aperture cant do it what software would you suggest?
Thanks.

Select all the versions that you want to auto enhance. Then on the Photos menu: Add Adjustment Preset>Quick Fixes>Auto Enhance.

Motion 5 freezes after applying the keying filter

Why does my screen freeze (four or five yellow/green bands, curser turns to rotating ball of death) when i try to apply the keying filter in Motion 5?

What's your hardware configuration, mainly what GPU do you have?

Not to hide the report when after applying in the filter

Hi Experts,
I have created the two reports in one tab one is present year report and another one is previous year report,In this the present year is should Get view and previous year report used by collapsible (+) in css style i have given as display:none It is fine ..
But I need that If we select any filter in the Previous year report and giving Apply it should not get minimize.
Please give me a good solution for this task...
Thanks,
Raju

Aravind,
I agree with your answer,This will possible only when we have same table for the same section,but i am using two different table and two different sections.
For eg:If we change in the first filter it will get affect in the second filter.so only i used two different tables to get present year and previous year result in single tab.
Thanks,
Raju

Photoshop 7.0.0 freezes after applying a KPT3 filter.

If you apply any of the KPT3 filter effects (except for the Interform
filter), Photoshop 7 will lock up solid.
As a temporary (or even a permanent) workround you can use the keyboard to
save the image by doing a SAVE AS ([ctrl]+[shift]+S) or a SAVE A COPY AS
([ctrl]+[alt]+S) and save as either a TIFF or a BMP file. This will free up
Photoshop and you can continue working with your image.
If you are working with a layered image, it is important that you are saving
with the advanced TIFF format turned ON - saving as either a standard TIFF
or a BMP will flatten the saved image. However, the image which you have
open in Photoshop will retain its layers until you finally save it - and
then you can choose from the complete range of formats.

Now that the dot release for Photoshop 7.0 has been released, this fixes the problem so the answer now is:
Update to PS 7.0.1 from the Adobe updates page on their web site:

Automating the Auto Levels process

As part of my work flow after importing the files into Aperture and applying meta data I then apply Auto levels to each image in turn, this is a very manual process involving the mouse and the right arrow key to move to the next image, wait for it to be read then press the auto levels button and then right arrow to the next image.
Is there a way to get Aperture to go through all the images in an Album applying the Auto levels command to each image individually.
It may even by by a keystroke macro process if there is such a one for OSX.
I do not want to lift the adjustments from one corrected image and apply them to all the images as this does not reflect the auto needs of each image.
After auto levelling each image I select the images for customised work.
Thanks for any suggestions.

Yes it worked - you have to redefine the action for each time you run aperture as the button for the auto levels function moves around the screen according to where you have the Aperture window.
You also have to allow for Aperture slowing down so you have to build in a delay before pressing the Auto button.
While running this process you cannot run another app that will sit over the Aperture window or take focus from Aperture.
What surprises me is that the two Auto buttons do not have keystroke alternatives. (or at least I could not find them in the documentation)

Auto levels on import preset

I tried a search to see how you can get AP3 to do an "auto levels" adjustment during import, but I am not sure how to do it. If I do an "auto" adjust on an image and then create a preset, does AP3 apply the levels based on that particular file used, or will it actually look at each file individually and make the correct adjustment for each file during the import? Or is there a different way to correctly apply auto levels during import?
Thanks in advance.

this is fairly easy. the only thing you have to do is create an adjustment preset to do just that.
steps:
1-click on an image and go to the Adjustments tab
2-apply auto-levels on that image (and nothing else)
3-in the Presets drop box, choose Save as Preset (Aperture is intelligent enough to remember you've applied the Auto-levels)
4-in the preset management box, give it some name
5-on following imports, just apply this preset to your images on import and voilà.

Batch Auto Levels

Can I batch Auto Levels?
My pre-Aperture workflow was very simple for most jobs: copy card to disk, rename in Bridge, batch auto levels and a bit of curve adjustment plus sharpening in Photoshop and deliver to client.
I'd love to do all that in Aperture and I can - apart from the Auto Levels, as far as I can see.
If I lift an Auto Levels adjustment from an image and apply it to other files it doesn't look at each file individually - it just takes the adjustment from the first file and applies is to the others, even though it probably won't be appropriate.
Help!
Paul

Paul,
This has been discussed several time before but in a nutshell: you can apply auto levels to an image and then life-and-stamp that to other images, but all that does is to copy the adjustments AL made, not perform the AL function itself on the target images.
This is fine if all images need the same adjustment, but not good if each image is unique.
I think that when lifting-and-stamping auto functions, you should have the choice to stamp the actual adjustment made or the function itself.
I have filled in Aperture feedback accordingly.
Regards,
Steve

Aperture 3 : recurring quality problems with "auto levels"

Hello all,
I've been using Aperture 3 since the day of its release, and I have recurring problems with the quality of the "auto levels" output, compared to plain old Photoshop CS3. Auto-levels in Aperture 3 frequently output grainy results.
Here are some samples (look at the central vertical darker part of the image) :
— original image (well, part of it) shot using my Canon EOS 400D :
http://plainsong.online.fr/aperture/Original.jpg
— the same original image with "auto levels" applied in Photoshop CS3 :
http://plainsong.online.fr/aperture/Auto-levels-Photoshop.jpg
— the same original image with "auto levels" applied in Aperture 3.0.1 :
http://plainsong.online.fr/aperture/Auto-levels-Aperture.jpg
And here are both "auto-levelled" images zoomed in for convenience's sake :
http://plainsong.online.fr/aperture/Auto-levels-Photoshop-ZOOM.jpg
http://plainsong.online.fr/aperture/Auto-levels-Aperture-ZOOM.jpg
I would like to know if I'm the only one to get such crappy results in Aperture, on a not insignificant number of photos. These poor results are very visible in some photos. This is really irritating, because this lack of quality means I have to open those images in Photoshop just to apply auto-levels. And I thought Aperture would be smart enough to spare me those round-trips!
(By the way I've never had this kind of quality problems in Photoshop.)
Please share your experience. Thanks!

Here is another example :

Aperture auto-levels seem to choke on dark areas. Will we be obliged to bright and sunny shots ?

Flickering after auto correct usage

After applying some auto correction tools like exposure, contrast, tonal correction, the clip on which these correction have been applied, flickers after rendering, especially in the light areas (sky with clouds). Is this a normal behaviour?
thx for help!

Yes, unfortunately. You can only correct lighting and color so much without getting artifacts like this.
Though it is a bit more pronounced in Premiere Elements' Auto Corrections.

HOW to find out the tablespace space utilized by a patch after applying the

someone has already applied the patch in test env before recording the tablespace size , so I cannot find out the figure in test env.
So is there any general practice or general guidelines on it?
hOW to find out the tablespace space utilized by a patch after applying the patch?
Thanks & Regards,
Sree.
Edited by: 846579 on Mar 22, 2011 10:50 PM

I think there is no direct way to determine what tablespace is utilized by a patch from the README file. You could check the content of the patch file and see what modules are affected (assuming there are changes and the database level), then query DBA_USERS (DEFAULT_TABLESPACE column) for those schemas which are updated by a patch. Or, you could check the size of the tablespaces before and after applying the patch and you will determine what tablespaces have been utilized (provided that the application services are down, and none of the application users is connected to the application).

Workflow stuck in starting state after applying SharePoint 2010 CU December 2012

I have custom visual studio workflow which are associated with Custom content type. workflow gets triggered automatically when a file is uploaded to SharePoint. Everything was working fine till when i apply the following CU
http://blogs.msdn.com/b/joerg_sinemus/archive/2012/12/27/sharepoint-2010-and-december-2012-cu.aspx
After applying this my workflow get stuck in "Starting" state.
No error were logged in 14 hive logs.
Thanks in Advance!

It took me a while but I came up with a work around. There is a PowerShell script below that can be used to trigger the workflow. Hopefully this will hold all of us over until the official fix arrives.
First remove the auto start on change or new from the affected workflow
Edit the script below to match your environment
Add the script to Windows task scheduler with the PowerShell.exe in the command line
This assumes PowerShell.exe is in the path
Then add the full path and script name in the add arguements text box
Script:
#The purpose of this script is to start the SPD workflow with the windows task scheduler for a trigger
#This should avoid the check in-out issue caused by the December 2012 SP CU patch
#This needs to be run on an account with membership in the farm administration group for SharePoint and Shell in SQL
#You can use a find and replace to replace the server and other names with your actual names
#There are no status messages being used since this will be a scheduled task in the Windows task scheduler
#Add SharePoint modules and create variable space
add-pssnapin microsoft.sharepoint.powershell
start-spassignment -global
#Open the web site, list and the workflow
$site=get-spsite %site url%"
$web=get-spweb %Web url%
#Open the %affected% library or list and workflow association
$%affected%=$web.getlist("%affected%")
$manager=$site.workflowmanager
$culture=[system.globalization.cultureinfo]::currentculture
$wfname="%affected workflow name"
$association=$%affected%.workflowassociations.getassociationbyname($wfname,$culture)

I get a "shimmer" on some photos after applying & rendering Ken Burns

In a slideshow I'm attempting to make in iMovie, I'm getting a "shimmering" effect after applying the Ken Burns effect to photos I've imported from iPhoto. The shimmer appears most noticeable in shots of scenary, where there is a lot of detail like tree leaves or grass. (In addition, as many others also have noted and complained about, the resolution, and even the color, in iMovie is really a disappointment. This is especially distressing because the original digital photos I took are incredibly crisp and clear, with beautiful color, and the slideshows I made in iPhoto and played on my iMac are gorgeous!). The Ken Burns' "shimmer" & poor resolution in iMovie and burning slideshows onto a DVD seem hardly worth all the time & effort. This is a real shortcoming in the Apple software it seems to me. Apple needs to fix it in future updates to the Tiger operating system or in the forthcoming Leopard.

MagneticMike,
what you see is usually referred to as a 'Moire' pattern that is caused by high-contrast in your source material. This means that exactly the 'incredibly crisp and clear' advantage of your photo is ruining your clip. In photographs, moire problems are usually overcome by slightly softening (e.g gauss blurring) the offending areas before the final render pass. This you can apply to your source image as well, and then import it into iMovie.
Interestingly, a different approach is possible with moving media. Since moire patterns are artificial noise introduced into your clip, people have found that our 'noise filter (combine)' plug-in can get rid of this. Perhaps you can download the plug-in and try if it helps with your problem.
(please try this link: http://imovieplugins.com/plugs/noisefiltercombi.html )
Hope this helps

Color Correction Auto Levels results uneven

Good Mornig,
My Color Correction Auto Levels results are uneven. I applied them to a short clip to Test, and they look fine when they apply...but every now and then there is a flicker for a few frames/seconds and it reverts to original colors. I have a 6month old computer 64bit, 12gigs ram....and it is only a 5 minute clip.
Any suggestions??
Thanks in advance

did somemore testing and i think you will be correct.
Why is this?...is it because Auto is "too broad a brush" or my computer doesn't have enough power (12 gigs ram??)
or is it a software weakness. is this usually the same for other, similar, effects??

How to apply row level security against the database administrator

I would like an advice in applying row level security against the database administrator. We need to prevent DBA from editing data in some table rows or have any indication that data was corrupted.
There is no problem in viewing the data so we considered one way hash function or digital signature which will be stored in the same table, but we see following disadvantages:
HASH - DBA may use the same hash function to update the stored data after he changes the sensitive row.
Digital signature - the is a need to manage and keep the private key in a safe place outside of DB
Is there additional ways to achieve the aim?

Does VPD helps to prevent from DBA to edit/view a data in specific rows?Yes.
If I correctly understand, DBA has full access to security policy used by VPD to control the access and can grant himself privileges that I don't want.You can to define which users can be exempt of the politics, for the context or by Grant EXEMPT.
This includes DBAs.
The simple fact of being DBA doesn't guarantee the exemption.
Everything goes to depend of the VPD config.
