Footage becoming grainy when added to Timeline
Newbie here.
I recently switched cameras from a Sony handycam to a Nikon 5D100.
Looking at the footage in the viewer it's crisp and clear, but when I put it on the timeline it becomes blurry and grainy.
I converted the footage from a .mov to .mp4 thinking FCE didn't like the Nikon 5D100 format, but I'm having this issue with both formats.
Any suggestions?
The reason the video becomes blurry is that your source media (from the camera) does not match your FCE sequence settings (easy setup). FCE is designed only for certain video codecs, specifically QuickTime/DV and QuickTime/Apple Intermediate Codec.
When you capture video directly from a camcorder, FCE can ingest DV, AVCHD and HDV video. DV video is directly imported into QT/DV clips; but in the high-def (AVCHD/HDV) capture process, FCE converts AVCHD and HDV video to QuickTime/Apple Intermediate Codec (QT/AIC).
If you don't capture directly from a camcorder you have to make sure your video clips conform to QT/DV or QT/AIC before using them in Final Cut Express.
The D5100 records video as H.264 but it's NOT AVCHD. You need to convert these clips to QuickTime/Apple Intermediate Codec before importing them into FCE. Use either MPEG Streamclip or Clipwrap to convert the video.
In FCE you need to use one of the AVCHD Easy Setups that matches how you shot the video in your DSLR, for example 1920x1080i30. (Note that FCE does not support 24fps, and the only mode in which it supports progressive video is 720p)

Prevent all page color from becoming opaque when adding a watermark with opacity
It looks like when I create a watermark AND change the opacity to something low the entire PDF becomes slightly opaque and colors are not that vivid (even if the actual text watermark is very small in the corner).
The only way I noticed fixes this problem is if I check the option to "Keep position and size of watermark text constant when printing on different page sizes".
See difference here:
-- Normal - http://screencast.com/t/5bCfSP5Fba
--Opaque - http://screencast.com/t/03qXJhR1ydh
--This is the difference in black when zooming in: http://screencast.com/t/PPsMJiLiS
Does anyone know what could be causing this? Is there a way to fix it without checking "Keep position and size of watermark text constant when printing on different page sizes"?
Thanks!ALMOOOST!
It did work but I don't understand why it worked on some pages and not on others. So when using this method, its worked completely fine when the watermark is applied to visible page. However, when the watermark is applied only to printed pages, some of those pages lose the water mark completely on print during the flatten/change blend space. I cant tell whats special about those pages that it works that way.
Maybe it will be just easier to use the "Keep position and size of watermark text constant when printing on different page sizes" option when adding the watermark and then everything looks evenly perfect(just need to manually center the watermark position for each file). Curiously though, any idea what could be the correlation between the "Keep position and size of watermark text constant when printing on different page sizes" and the opacity of page when adding an watermark? -
My footage becomes blurry when i add the keyer
Whenever I use the chroma keyer, my footage goes blurry. It takes out the background brilliantly but the actual subject becomes blurry. Even after rendering. Anyone know what i'm doing wrong.
Hello,
You posted on your YouTube clip:
"I contacted Apple directly and they have confirmed there is a problem, especially when using DV footage. They are trying to fix it as we speak. If you export your green screen footage to Motion 5 there is no decrease in the quality.
Hopefully they will have a patch soon."
Can you give details about that? Any updates?
Also -
Do you import to Final Cut, edit, then export using Motion 5? Or, do you import to Motion 5 directly from DV, then open in FCP?
I don't own Motion 5 yet - so I'm not familiar with it's capabilities.
I have the exact same issue - it's not dependent on project settings, or any Keyer adjustments that I've attempted.
Thanks much. -
Static on video when added to timeline
Hi all,
I'm having quite an annoying problem. I am working on a project which is almost completely stop-motion. Each frame was captured in a separate frame-grabbing program and organized into different scenes. These scenes were imported into Final Cut and I have begun editing them.
However, when I add two specific clips to the timeline, I get a lot of static on just certain portions of these clips. I watch them in the Viewer and there is no static, I watch them separately as QuickTime movies (using QuickTime Player) and there is no static - only when I add them to the timeline.
At one point I was playing around with filters and suddenly the static was gone on one clip. However, shortly thereafter it reappeared and cutting/pasting the filters back onto the clip did nothing.
If you have any information that might help, it would be very much appreciated!!
Thanks in advance.All the imported animation clips are classified as "Animation" under the Compressor line.
Not sure which settings you wanted me to post from the Settings window, but the QuickTime Video Setting is DV/DVCPRO - NTSC, Quality: 100%, and:
Frame Size: 720 x 480, Aspect Ratio: NTSC DV (3:2)
Pixel Aspect Ratio: NTSC - CCIR 601 / DV (720x480)
Field Dominance: Lower (Even)
Editing Timebase: 29.97
Let me know if you need anything else. -
Video doesn't slow when added to timeline of different frame rate
I'm having trouble understanding what's going on here. I have a video shot at 59.94 fps, and I add it to a sequence that is set at 29.97 fps. It plays back normally which makes sense if premiere is dropping frames by 1/2, but the drop frame indicator says that it isn't dropping frames. The clip also runs the same length. The interpret frame rate for the clip in the project window says 59.94 fps, so if it's added to a sequence that is set at 29.97 fps and it's NOT dropping frames, shouldn't it be slowed down?
OK cool thank you very much. So I've been doing some research to figure out the best way to edit this project. The problem is that I have some GoPro videos shot at 1080X1920 and 59.94 fps and some at 480X840 and 240 fps. But the catch is I want to make the final product work well for Youtube. This is how I feel I should go about getting the best quality for my final video.
1. Set the sequence settings to 720X1280 (which is what I will export as so that the 480X840 doesn't loose as much quality compared to having to resize up to 1080X1920 to match the other clips). I don't think there's much quality loss in down-scaling the 1080X1920 to 720X1280 (if any, or is there?), so it's kind of a happy medium for both frame sizes that I have and it's still good for Youtube.
2. Apparently Youtube really works well with 29.97 fps, so this is what I will set the sequence frame rate at.
**Another side question I have is what if my sequence frame rate is set at 29.97fps and I interpret the frame rate of a 59.94fps clip as 29.97fps and add it to the sequence. Now if I use the rate stretch tool to speed up the now slowed down clip to 200% so that it plays at normal speed. Will Premiere remove frames to speed up the clip or does it really increase the rate of the frames so that I don't loose any frames?** My guess is if I export at 29.97fps it will remove half of the frames.
Is it not possible to have an exported movie clip that contains multiple frame rates? -
Pictures become blury when on the Timeline
Hello - This is strange. I have pictures in my browser. If I double click on the picture in the browser it opens up in the viewer, and the picture is crisp, like it should be. Then if I drag that picture either from the browser or the viewer and put it on the timeline it gets blurry. I have deleted and tried this numerous times, but it shows up blurry once it gets on the timeline. Even if there is nothing that the pictures is on top of. How can I make the picture crisp like it should be. Thank you!
In Sequence - Render Selection all of them are checked, and in Sequence - Render All , all of them are checked. Then in both of them I have clicked on Render Selection - Both and Render All - Both. The pictures look the same.

Sequence Settings message when adding LT clip
I was one who took the plunge with QT 7.4.5.
I'm running FCP 6.0 on OS 10.5.2
I found upon importing a rendered Livetype clip that when adding to timeline it shows this message:
<Warning This clip does not match this sequence's settings or any of your sequence presets
For best performance your sequence and External Video should be set to the format of the clips you are editing.
Change sequence settings to match the clip settings.?>
If I say no, it needs to be rendered. If I say yes it adds to the timeline without needing rendering.
BUT...THen any other previous clips added from the project force the above message.
I am wondering what in my preferences are being affected and what is a good workaround?
Perhaps just adding and re-rendering in FCP?
Thanks!Duh..I was looking in preferences, and now I vaguely remember this menu.
Thanks ThrillCat!! -
Should Parent objects be updated when adding a child?
Hi,
I have 2 objects in a one to many relationship, a parent with a collection
of child objects.
My parent object is being updated when I add child objects to it -
although nothing on the parent object has changed (except maybe the
JDOLOCKX column).
Is this meant to happen - as part of the optimistic locking? Does it try
and lock the owner of the collection when a new member is added?
Thanks in advance,
ChrisWe are planning a metadata extension to permit writing to a collection
without changing optimistic lock values for the owning class.
I don't have a good feel for the time frame of the feature yet.

When adding a tween, images become pixelated
I've used timline/animation in Photoshop for awhile, but just noticed, when I add tweens between two images, the original images become pixelated when I save as animated GIFs.
Test #1
Photoshop file with two layers -- each with a photograph
Timeline: frame 1 has image from layer 1 and frame 2 has image from layer 2
Choose Save For Web and the images look pretty goodI realize that GIFs are only 256 colors
Test #2
Create Photshop files as in Test #1
Add a tween with 1 frame
Choose Save For Web and the images look pretty good
Test #3
Create Photshop files as in Test #1
Add a tween with more than one frame
Choose Save For Web
The images are now pixelated
Trash...
All but one tween and an image is no longer pixelated, OR
All tweens and an image is no longer pixelated
In other words, Saving For Web is fine as long as I don't add any tweens. As soon as I do, the images become pixelated. Take out the tweens, the pixelation goes away. And, I have tried to make all kinds of adjustments to the GIFs.
Any help would be appreciated!
Thanks--RobertHI Jeffrey:
I can surely post some photos (screen shots from the Save As Web interface) of what I'm talking about and share the PSD file as well.
• First image before Tween
If you carefully look at the light brown vertical paint just behind the girl's right shoulder -- no big pixelated dots. And the guy's sweatshirt looks fairly smooth in transitions from highlights to shadows.
• Second image after adding Tweens
You'll now notice all the extra dots -- especially in the vertical brown paint job and other parts of the wall and his shirts.
And it gets worse with other images/animations I've recently created.
One thing I didn't mention is that I noticed this a few months back. This morning, I realized that's when I got rid of my old trusty 21" CRT monitor and got an LCD flat panel. I hooked up my old CRT and the dots are gone! But that doesn't resolve the issue of why when you add tweens, does it pixelate.
Here's a link to the test.PSD file: https://dl.dropboxusercontent.com/u/109581077/test.psd
Any help would sure be appreciated! And if you need me to create a video of the steps I'm doing, I can do that to.
Thank you!

I have added photos to a portfolio website I'm building and a lot of them look VERY grainy when you click on them. They are nice clean large files and can print bat high res way over 16" x 20" so whats happened to them in iWeb?
When you are dealing with websites, image file size is a trade off between quality and download speed. There's not a lot of point to having high quality images if they take too long to download in the browser.
Nowadays we also have to consider the device that the end user is viewing the images on. An image that is optimized for viewing on a large screen is total overkill and unsuitable for those using mobile devices.
Really we should be supplying different versions of media files for different devices using @media rules in the stylesheet but this is rather outside of the scope of iWeb. If you use the built in image optimizer and the iWeb Photo template with slideshow, the application will optimize the images according to the way in which you set this function in preferences and the slideshow size will be automatically reduced for those viewing it on smaller screens.
If you want to give your viewers the opportunity to view large, high quality images, you can supply them as a download. -
ITunes now becomes non-responsive when adding new music
Hello.
For a few months now iTunes has gone from quick importing of new mp3 and m4a files from my desktop, down to very slow importing after a long pinwheel, and now finally the endless pinwheel whenever I add any files. (It can go on hours, and requires force quit). My collection is large (50k files / 1TB or so), and the media sits on an external hard drive, but I have tried creating a new library from scratch on the desktop (and internal hard drive) and I still get the same endless pinwheel when adding just a few new files. The only other clue I have is that when the importing slowness just started, a third party metatagging application I use (TuneUp) was not recognizing the newly imported files as having been imported by iTunes, whereas I did use iTunes to import.
I am loathe to create a new library altogether as I've done much editing within iTunes to my large collection. (See this article: iTunes: How to re-create your iTunes library and playlists - Apple Support)
I am using latest Yosemite version (10.10.2) on a 2011 Mac Mini with a recent SSD inside (iTunes worked fine after the SSD upgrade a year ago).
Thanks for any help!Start by removing "TuneUp." See whether there's an improvement.
Any third-party software that doesn't install by drag-and-drop into the Applications folder, and uninstall by drag-and-drop to the Trash, is a system modification.
Whenever you remove system modifications, they must be removed completely, and the only way to do that is to use the uninstallation tool, if any, provided by the developers, or to follow their instructions. If the software has been incompletely removed, you may have to re-download or even reinstall it in order to finish the job.
I never install system modifications myself, and except as stated in this comment, I don't know how to uninstall them. You'll have to do your own research to find that information.
Here are some general guidelines to get you started. Suppose you want to remove something called “BrickMyMac” (a hypothetical example.) First, consult the product's Help menu, if there is one, for instructions. Finding none there, look on the developer's website, say www.brickmymac.com. (That may not be the actual name of the site; if necessary, search the Web for the product name.) If you don’t find anything on the website or in your search, contact the developer. While you're waiting for a response, download BrickMyMac.dmg and open it. There may be an application in there such as “Uninstall BrickMyMac.” If not, open “BrickMyMac.pkg” and look for an Uninstall button. The uninstaller might also be accessed by clicking the Customize button, if there is one.
Back up all data before making any changes.
You will generally have to restart the computer in order to complete an uninstallation. Until you do that, there may be no effect, or unpredictable effects.
If you can’t remove software in any other way, you’ll have to erase and install OS X. Never install any third-party software unless you're sure you know how to uninstall it; otherwise you may create problems that are very hard to solve.
Trying to remove complex system modifications by hunting for files by name often will not work and may make the problem worse. The same goes for "utilities" such as "AppCleaner" and the like that purport to remove software. -
So.....deeply....disappointed by Lion...
It honestly gets in the way of getting things done.
When was the last time you had an upgrade, in any program or OS that caused an immediate productivity drop?
Mail windows, when adding a new address, pop under to become the lowest window in the stack...before you are done composing...
no extra clicks..just adding ONE character to the actual address bar does it.
Trying to add files to an online content management system is hard...it's hard because when you attempt to add the file, it disappears from
the list, so a search must be conducted...oh not a search of your hard drive...no...it has to include ALL FILES and that takes a while, showing
files totally unrelated to what you need or in whatever that view is, showing everything from movies to documents, to a whole range of other stuff
that is irrelevant to what is being sought.
I can get used to the disappearing icon tool bar...but the message threading in Mail is so strangely bad it's hard to describe. So you send out an email,
and it had 5 points...but that was 3 emails before...A reply comes in addressing those 5 points but saying something like ..."I disagree with point number 4"
Unless you have total recall the thread shows you only incoming mail and the LAST most recent folded up message you sent. You are forced to go digging
into sent mail to see what that point you made 8 days eariler actually was...
I am pleased that I don't have to have Launchpad (honestly the silliest 'feature' I've ever seen on a computer) in the dock and see no point in the juvenile Mission Control (the naming scheme is odd and reminiscent of Junior Spaceman...how ironic that we end America's manned launch capability at the same time as Launch Pad and Mission Control, both throwbacks to the 60's are added to an OS). In any case both are virtually useless tools. One, replacing the mildly useful Spaces and the other just genuinely useless.
I'm going to give Apple until the second bug fix...but I can tell right now that Snow Leopard was a far more robust OS. The thousands of posts about this may rise to the level of AntennaGate...I hope so...It seems the only way to get Steve (for whom I have now honestly lost respect for the FIRST TIME) to address the issues is to embarrass the company publicly. Lion is a broken system, poorly conceived...and proof that the Apple methodology of no widespread user testing can and does fail. This needs to get fixed. Soon.It seems to have something to do with profile manager.
I get stack traces in the "system messages" logs for the "Server" application, grrrr.
I'll get that info and attempt to submit a but report tonight. -
TableSorter errors when adding new data

* TableSorter is a decorator for TableModels; adding sorting
* functionality to a supplied TableModel. TableSorter does
* not store or copy the data in its TableModel; instead it maintains
* a map from the row indexes of the view to the row indexes of the
* model. As requests are made of the sorter (like getValueAt(row, col))
* they are passed to the underlying model after the row numbers
* have been translated via the internal mapping array. This way,
* the TableSorter appears to hold another copy of the table
* with the rows in a different order.
* <p/>
* TableSorter registers itself as a listener to the underlying model,
* just as the JTable itself would. Events recieved from the model
* are examined, sometimes manipulated (typically widened), and then
* passed on to the TableSorter's listeners (typically the JTable).
* If a change to the model has invalidated the order of TableSorter's
* rows, a note of this is made and the sorter will resort the
* rows the next time a value is requested.
* <p/>
* When the tableHeader property is set, either by using the
* setTableHeader() method or the two argument constructor, the
* table header may be used as a complete UI for TableSorter.
* The default renderer of the tableHeader is decorated with a renderer
* that indicates the sorting status of each column. In addition,
* a mouse listener is installed with the following behavior:
* <ul>
* <li>
* Mouse-click: Clears the sorting status of all other columns
* and advances the sorting status of that column through three
* values: {NOT_SORTED, ASCENDING, DESCENDING} (then back to
* NOT_SORTED again).
* <li>
* SHIFT-mouse-click: Clears the sorting status of all other columns
* and cycles the sorting status of the column through the same
* three values, in the opposite order: {NOT_SORTED, DESCENDING, ASCENDING}.
* <li>
* CONTROL-mouse-click and CONTROL-SHIFT-mouse-click: as above except
* that the changes to the column do not cancel the statuses of columns
* that are already sorting - giving a way to initiate a compound
* sort.
* </ul>
* <p/>
* This is a long overdue rewrite of a class of the same name that
* first appeared in the swing table demos in 1997.

PeterThe code you posted doesn't help us at all. Its just a duplicate of the code from the tutorial. The custom code is what you have written. For example do you update the TableModel from the Event Thread? Do you update the SortModel or the DefaultTableModel? If you actually provide your test code and somebody has already downloaded the sort classes, then maybe they will test your code against the classes. But I doubt if people will download the sort classes and create a test program just to see if they can duplicate your results (at least I know I'm not about to).

JTable sorting - problem when adding elements (complete code inside)
I�m writing this email with reference to a recent posting here but this time with the code example. (I apologize for the duplicated posting � this time it will be with the code)
Problem: when adding more elements to the JTable (sorted) the exception: ArrayIndexOutOfBoundsException is thrown.
Example: If the elements in the table are 10 and then the user requests for 8 � the table will produce the correct result. However, if the user will ask for 11 items (>10) the exception will be thrown.
The program: The program below (compiles and running). A JTable is constructed with 3 items, when you click the button - the return result should be 4 items - this will generate the error, WHY?
I would highly appreciate your thoughts why this is happening and most importantly � how to fix it.
Thanks a lot

}The table listens to the TableModel for changes. Changing the table by adding/removing
rows or columns has no affect on its table model. If you make changes to the table model
the table will be notified by its TableModelListener and change its view. So tell

Final Cut Pro X crashes when adding transitions, throughout the entire program.
I've had FCP X installed for a few weeks now, and I decided to hold back asking my question and see if anybody else is experiencing the same problems.
I did find one matching problem on the discussions forum, but the user found a solution which I tried, and did it did not work.
Everytime I try to add a very simple transition to my video in Final Cut Pro X, it gives me the spinning colorwheel, hesitates for a few seconds and then crashes.
It only does it with transitions, I can add effects, adjust color, etc. but only when adding transitions does it crash.
I've tried deleting events and original media, I've reimported using optimized media, I've tried both ways of keeping files in original locations and also copying to final cut events folder.
The video I'm using is full 1080p mov files from a Canon 5D Mark II.
It does it in the timeline as well as the secondary timeline.
I've tried the solution that the previous asker did, which was copying the content to another FCP event, and it didn't work for me. Still crashes whether I try to drag the transition to my timeline, use the keyboard shortcut, or double click.
I have a Early 2010 15 inch MBP i5 with 8gb of RAM running newest version of Snow Leopard.
Hope I've provided enough information
Thanks,
-JonSame Issue: Added a transition and then beach ball from **** and crash. Also lost two hours of work when it restarted and reverted to the last planned quit.
FCPX is benched until Lion and updates. Don't have time to be a beta tester on what might end up being a hobbyists toy.
MacPro Quad 3.0, 10G RAM.
