FX Factory filters over exposure on FCP

Friends
I'm having problems using FX Factory's plugins with FCP... When I applied filters as Core Glow, the image is over exposuring (the white becomes too white, the black is not so black...).
I believe that it is some configuration on my FCP, because the over exposure only happens when I apply the filters using the FCP installed on my iMAC... When I use the FX Factory's filters with the FCP installed on my MacBook Pro, it does not happen.
An example, if I apply the filter on my Mac Book Pro, render it, and I open the project on my iMac it looks perfect... But if I have to render it again using the iMac, the same project, no changes on the settings, the image becomes over exposure, too bright.
By the way, both Macs has FCP 6.0.4 and FX Factorys 2.0.2 installed.
Could someone help me?
Thanks a lot.

look in your audio video settings, sequence settings,video processing to see if you are processing white as white or super white on each machine

Does any1 hav issues with not being able to send pic from the camera roll. I've already had issues with over exposure that the new update fixed but it left me with this issue.

Since getting my iPhone 5 I've had camera issues. To start with it was over exposure, the camera was flashing too early and leaving me with dark pictures. After a failed reset I visited the apple store, where they told me it was a known problem and apple were working on a update to fix the issue and it was just a
waiting game. Once the update was available I did it immediately and the problem seemed to be fixed. I've now noticed that from the camera roll I carnt send a picture to mms. It gives me the option but the screen completely freezes after I've chosen it. The only way to access my camera roll again is to completely close the camera roll down and reopen it. The strange thing it it will let me send it as an email and upload taught to Facebook etc just not as an mms. The other strange thing is if I go to msgs and add a photo I'm successful but if I try to edit the photo I want to send 1st then I get the same issue as the camera roll. I also have issues with the shutter taking ages to open. Is anyone else havin these issue before I go back to the apple shop. A complete reset hasn't worked

My airport extreme (generation 5) was set up using wifi and has worked flawlessly (on macbook pro 2 iphones and window 7 HP pc)until recently. I have reset to factory defaults over and over but still cannot get on the internet. Any suggestions?

My airport extreme (generation 5) was set up using wifi and has worked flawlessly (on macbook pro 2 iphones and window 7 HP pc)until recently. I have reset to factory defaults over and over but still cannot get on the internet. However I can then take my DSL cord and insert it in a different Ethernet port other than the WAN port and I can get internet on my Mac and iphones but only wifi on my husband's PC. I hate to spend another $179 if this is just something I'm doing wrong. Please help

I'm having a bit of trouble confirming that the ZyXEL is a combination modem & wireless-N router. If it is, then you really won't get any advantages of using the 802.11g AirPort.
If the range of your ZyXEL is limited, you may find that doing either or both of the following will help: 1) Move the ZyXEL so that it is higher vs. lower in the room, that is away from any closed areas or placed in a metal cabinet, and 2) Changing radio channels. The latter is especially important in you live in an area where there are a number of competing Wi-Fi.
A good utility to find out, is iStumbler. You would use this to find these other Wi-Fi and find which have the strongest signal value. Those that do, you would also want to note which channel they are operating on, and then, change yours to one that is at least 3-5 channels away. So, for example, if you find strong ones on channels 1 & 6, change yours to 11.

Over exposure downloading from Nikon D300 to lightroom 2.3

Following upgrade to Lightroom 2.3 when images are downloaded from my Nikon D300 (raw or jpeg) they are all overexposed after quickly appearing in preview. How do I correct this. Is this a camera or software problem
David Neal

I had the same problem with a D700.
Applying the Standard profile will correct the colors but not exposure.
Another thing to check is that you have not unable Advanced D-Light on your camera. Automode is the worst case because you don't even know how much over exposure is set!
This camera option is a tricky one: it overexpose your photo and make a built in camera process to recover details in the over/under exposed zones.
LR is not able to read this information (proprietary info in the NEF raw file) so the photo is over-exposed.
One way is to use the exposure LR cursor (-0.25 can simulate a light ADL..) but you will never have the same photo because Nikon processing is different and specific for each over/under exposed zones: sometime using the LR exposure brush is necessary on this zones (darken a sky for example).
Antoher thing is to desactive the Nikon ADL. You will then have nearly the same picture between LR Raw and your embedded Jpeg, you only need to apply the Standard or Neutral LR profil to correct the colors.
Then, if you want to recover some details in the over/under exposed zones, you can add a LR exposure brush on these zones. The good thing is that you control manually what Nikon ADL do automatically...

Nikon D700 Over exposure issue

After shooting some outdoor shots last week, I found most all of the shots as about 1/3 to a full stop over exposed on my Nikon D700. I did some research and everyone seems to point to the camera. As a fairly recent LR convert, I went back to Nikon Capture NX2 to see if I found the same over exposure, and DID NOT. I hate to jump to conclusions, but it seems like LR is having problems compared to Capture.
I am interested if anyone else has done the same test and found the same results. I LOVE LR and used it a lot recently for concert performance work as well as portrait work, but these bright sunlight shots just seemed too much for LR.
Thanks!

I suspect your problem is due to tone curve mismatches. Let's say you are shooting some people shots and in-camera you are using the Portrait picture control.
1) When you review your photo in the LCD and look at the histogram, the JPG (yes, even if you shot RAW) displayed there uses the tone curve (and other settings, like sharpening, hue, saturation, etc.) in that Picture Control. Add White Balance (WB) into that mix.
2) Similarly, when you review your RAW file in either ViewNX2 or Capture NX2, the software reads the raw data *and* the Picture Control and WB information to render the image and corresponding histogram you see in the application.
Now, if you move over to Lightroom, the Adobe default camera profile will likely (most assuredly, actually) use a different tone curve and color profile. The result? A different histogram that will show either over or under-exposure when compared to what you saw in-camera or in the NX2 software, depending on the particular mismatch.
The solution? Either use one of the provided Nikon-like profiles (for instance, my LR 3.4 has Portrait), or create your own to match the Nikon's built-in (or even if you had it, your custom) Picture Control. Keep an eye on White Balance, too, as the incorrect WB can push or pull your histogram. For instance, an overly warm WB can clip your reds, when a corrected WB wouldn't.
After years using ViewNX2, exclusively (plus PSP X2 for final editing), I've just (this weekend!) switched to a LR3-CS5 workflow. Part of what kept me away from Adobe products for so long was the reluctance to give up Nikon software's "full insight" into the in-camera settings. In the end, I decided that this histogram I see in my camera is ficticious, anyway, a by-product of one possible interpretation of the RAW data. Perhaps Nikon is better qualified to interpret that RAW data, but based on the quality and robustness of their software, who knows?
Anyway, long story short: match your tone curve and WB, and you should get similar results. My early experimentation with D700 and D7000 photos this weekend, when I did a couple of quick cross-checks of what ViewNX2 gave me vs. LR3 with the Portrait control/profile indicates my results are reasonably close. As with all things, YMMV.

Correcting Over-Exposure

I have some footage which shows mild to moderate over-exposure. What is the best way to correct for this? Is there an effect which acts as a type of limiter, keeping luminance values below a user-defined threshold?
Thanks.

The problem is, given the limited luminance space in video, once you get to white it just fills everything with the same colour because that's the ceiling. Everything that would be brighter just gets clamped to white. This means you lose the fine detail that you would otherwise get if you just wound the iris down in the camera during shooting. Because that space is all the same colour/brightness when you change the levels of the white it just drags the whole slab of white down to grey rather than reintroduce the fine detail. All you can do, as Harm has said, is to take the edge off the highlights so it's not quite so harsh.
Good luck. Let us know how you go.

I'm going through **** here, using a spanish key board, to lay down fonts, using FCP X, each and every time the "accent" mark is need over a letter, FCP X shuts down...this is the most feckless system I've worked with in years!!

I'm going through **** here. Have a client who needs a spanish version of their corporate presentation. Got the Spanish keyboard up. Each and every time I need to use an accent above a letter...FCP X shuts down. What is going on with this system? The most feckless piece of soffware ever!! Ready to pull out the old tower G4 and cut on the FCP 7...

Okay will do...using the Canadian English Version...
Also, as you well know in Spanish, the "accent" does "slice" either way. Over vowels, such as "a" and "o"...
If you have any more advice...I'll gratefully take it...and a much appreciated "thank you"

Aironet 350 reset to factory config over vacation.

I have an Aironet 350 non-root bridge that was reset back to its factory default configuration over a 5 day period of inactivity (Christmas vacation). I didn't set it up, so I can't say too much about how it was configured before except that it was running 12.0 firmware.
I have upgraded it to 12.04 and reconfigured it and it seems to be running fine.
Any ideas on what could have caused this? Could I have had a security breach?

That could be very likely. Are you using a default configuration for security, or have you turned user-manager on and added a management username/password. Note that someone could have potentially done this via SNMP also.

Can You Reinstall FCP 7 Over An Existing FCP 7 Install?

I know this must seem like a stupid question, but my exisiting FCP 7 install has gone south and is acting squirrelly as all get out. Is it possible to throw in my FCS discs and just reinstall over the exisitng install? Will I lost my plugins in the process?
Or should I use something like Digital Rebellion's FCS remover first and essentially do a "clean" install?
Thanks for all comments.

Before you do either, have you tried to trash your FCP preferences?
Digital Rebellion also makes a free tool to do just that:

SX10 IS zoom photos are all white (severe over exposure?)

Hi, I've notice that when I take outdoor pictures, mostly in "Auto" mode, using a fair amount of zoom that the image take is mostly white. This consistently occurs and is not a one-time event. I'm assuming that the images are severely over exposed. The environment is typically mid-day sunlight. Taking a picture of the same composition at much lower magnification gives expected results. I've been through the manual looking for different things to adjust without success. I've reset all settings to their defaults and the problem persists. I've tried different modes with similar results. I've had this camera for a few years now and I haven't experienced this problem before. Any ideas or suggestions are greatly appreciated.

JakeInTexas,
When shooting outdoors in sunlight, the camera could be metering the exposure improperly because of the sunlight entering the lens at certain angles. A good way to counter this is by attaching the lens hood that came with the camera.
If this does not help, I would like to take a look at a sample image if you could upload one to this thread. It will greatly help us determine what else may be causing this.

Remote Voice Over Workflows using FCP - thoughts?

I am going to try and keep this as simple as possible.
I am Producer and host for an Australian Drag Racing Show that we air nationally...
We record these shows in Full 1080 HD using modern XFILE systems (EVS) using the Apple ProRes 422 (HQ) codec.
Our ENG/EFP team use XDCAM (full 1080i HD).
We edit these shows using FCP 7 amongst a few suites.
I also do some offline content on my 17inch i7 MBP using FCP too.
My question is thus:
The Post Production Team are based in Sydney on the east coast, whilst I am based in Western Australia - this is like being in LA in comparison to New York!
I want to reduce my travel commitment by air, as in the past I have travelled weekly to commentate these shows (40+ shows a year!)
I have - as does the production house - a reasonably good ADSL Internet connection.
I do a lot of Producing and program checks using iChat Theatre within FCP 7. It is quite good.
What I want to get to though is a way in being able to more often commentate these shows remotely from home, without the need for me to physically having to be across country on every occasion - for my sanity's sake.
My co-commentator also lives near me, however our editors are all based across country, together in Sydney.
I see the following options as being the way to do this:
OPTION 1.
When we ingest (log and transfer) the vision, I will always be in Sydney at that time. There are usually several shows generated from this vision.
I copy the Quicktime MOV files that are for use in the shows to my external (eSATA) HD.
Editors in Sydney cut the racing components of our show. They then email me the FCP project file.
(I have FCP, the required Audio and Mics)
Then, I open this FCP Project File and re-link and re-render as required once I receive this and we commentate the shows using the VO utility within Final Cut.
I then do an Audio export only and send the editors the updated FCP Project file, for them to receive and re-link the vision as required, sound mix and print.
OPTION 2.
The Editors cut the shows, then export either within FCP or Compressor a reduced quality file size to send via FTP or sendspace.
I then import this vision locally into FCP, render the vision and commentate it accordingly and just send back the audio.
SO:
What would you all suggest as the easiest and best way to do this. We do have tight work timeframes in terms of getting content to air.
I think Option1 is by far the best, and what I am not sure about is if I did Option2 - what settings for export and I want to avoid bogging down the editors on handling cumbersome vision exports anyway?
Thoughts?
Dean...

I would probably go with option 2, myself - I usually export my cuts and run the movie thru compressor with the H.264 LAN or H.264 800KBPS presets. These are found under Apple/Other Workflows/Web/Streaming/Quicktime 7/
These take up roughly 10MB per minute and 5MB per minute respectively.
While I have used Option 1 (duplicate media, transferring a project file), this can get problematic when the editors have generated media - like effects, color correction, etc...

Heavily filtered Motion clips crashing FCP

Hi,
I am having some serious issues with a fcp project involving a lot of keying of clips done in Motion. All was running more or less smoothly until I apparently let one too many of my completed motion clips remain unrendered in my fcp timeline. Now I can't access my timeline without hanging/crashing every time I try to navigate within fcp.
I would really appreciate anyone who can help/present a workflow that might save my butt and allow me to continue working on a project with a very swiftly approaching deadline.
My G5 power mac has 8 gigs of ram, and a Geforce6600 graphics card. The material is XD cam EX 1080p 25.
Many thanks in advance!
-Tom

Well, rename or hide the Motion projects (or at least a few of them). FCP won't be able to find them and your crashing should stop.
Render the ones you have left in your timeline. Save. Exit. Bring back one or two more Motion files. Open your FCP project again. Render them. Lather. Rinse. Repeat.
Post back,
Patrick

Strange over exposure

Can anyone help with this problem because I'm really stumped!
I'm using Lightroom 5.7 on a Windows 7 laptop & not had any problems up until now but images in Develop mode show large red areas as though they are over exposed (see screen shot). The same photos have previously been fine up until now & are fine in Library mode & if viewed in any other programme. I have tried uninstalling & reinstall but this has made no difference. Any advice would be helpful, thanks.

Look in the top right corner of the histogram, there is a highlighted triangle which means you have selected the highlights indicator, the red areas are blown highlights. Click will turn off.

How to create the Over exposure wipe effect?

Films like The Secret produce a wipe effect of over exposed light emiting from the video as it transitions to the next shot. Any idea how to creat this effect?
Thx
Kevin

It can definitely play a factor. DVD has a little more leeway, and I've never seen an issue on my TV, but it's properly set up. For the typical viewer who probably has their brightness turned way up so they can watch TV in the afternoon with the sun shining right on the screen, the transitions will probably tear and distort.
I love the vapor across transition, but only use it for web based projects, and things I know that only I am going to be watching.

N95 8GB Camera Over-Exposure

Ok, so I've had my N95 a while now and I cannot take pictures with it, due to the fact that it over exposes every single picture I take. I've tried changing every setting on it and it stil won't change.
An example is attached.
And this happens on pretty much every picture I take, to varying degrees.
ANy help?

Good luck!
If it's still that bad after the update then it's most likely a fault. Take it to a nokia care point for inspection.
