Gradient (not smooth) has ripples on TV but looks good in Motion canvas?

Could someone help me fix these ripples in my gradient? I have a gradient color as the background (pink fades to black), it looks smooth on my computer but on my TV monitor it is ripply and choppy as it fades out to black.
I am working in NTSC DV.
Thanks
marco

When I say render out, I mean exporting your Motion Project as a QT movie.
I took a look at your project and rendered out a sample in Animation codec 32-bit. I didn't see any visible banding in the bkg peach to black gradient. The yellow circle in the right corner was walking a bit because the edge was harsh, and the yellow was really bright. Also the font is very thin for DV so it will not look that good.
The font could be thicker, but I was able to address the visual problems with the circle by dropping the Fill Opacity to 90% and to apply a slight feather (4). DV as a codec doesn't like thin lines or sharp edges.
Again, I didn't see any banding on the bkg gradient though. Even when I rendered out the sample in DV.

  • Bad gradients(not smooth)

    Hello everyone.
    I am using a Unibody MBP 2.4
    Everything seems fine and I had no issues with it - or the screen.
    But today I noticed a weird thing about the screen. I created a radial gradient on Photoshop, and it seems really bad. Circular lines appear inside the radial gradient, which makes it look not smooth.
    It's like it's missing some colors (If you create a radial gradient then go to System Preferences - Display Settings and use Thousands colors instead of Millions then look at the gradient again you will notice what I am talking about).
    I also tried several calibrated profiles but none seem to have solved the problem.
    Any suggestions?
    Thanks in advance.

    Hello, I have a similar problem with the pix on any web browser. Very bad resolution and everything is gradient. I am wondering if anyone has experienced such a thing... I am very upset. The reseller tells me its a general issue and that I should wait for an update fix.

  • Gradients not smooth after Published?

    When working with my web site in iWeb design, my gradients are nice and smooth color transitions, but when I publish my site, the gradients have obvious color change transitions, more like bars than a gradient.
    Why is there such a big difference in what I see in iWeb vs. what I see in a browser (after my site is published)? Doesn't seem to make any difference with Browser I use either (IE7, IE8, Safari, Firefox), so obviously it's some type of compression done on Apple's MobileMe servers.
    I've also done a gradient as a picture (photoshop) and it comes out well after I publish, but gradients in iWeb shapes come out terrible after they're published.
    Anyone know what's going on and if there is anyway to minimize without restoring to making Photoshop gradients and importing as pictures into iWeb?
    Thanks, Rob.

    Did you discover any solutions to this? I'm having the same thing...smooth on timeline, rough exported and viewed in QT, then smooth after export and render to m4v for iPhone viewing where it looks back to normal...

  • C DLL does not working in LabVIEW-20​11, but works good in LabVIEW-20​09

    The C-Language dll which I have for an instrument is working good in LV2009 without any errors, but in 2011 it throws 1097 Error code.  In this link, it is mentioned that calling convention in "Call Library Node" is changed since LV2010 which I guess could be the reason for the error.  But trgically I need to develop my code in LV2011.  Does anyone have an workaround to make the dll work in LV2011?
    Thanks,
    Ajay. 
    Solved!
    Go to Solution.

    And the particular issue at hand is, that stdcall functions CAN have but DON'T have to have a particular naming decoration in their exported name (a @<number> appended to the name, and LabVIEW doesn't show this decoration in the drop down box). Before LabVIEW 2010 the Call Library Node automagically corrected a configured C calling configuration to stdcall if it recognized that decoration. They removed that in 2010 because it is possible, and most probably happened in the wild, for a C function to be explicitedly named with this pattern but get exported as C calling convention. With this automatic and hidden correction, LabVIEW is totally unable to call such a function.
    The not so nice thing about this would be IMHO that this automagic correction happened sneakily in the background without even being visible at all (the option in the Call Library Node stayed C calling convention, despite that LabVIEW really decided to use stdcall). And it got made even worse by the fact that 2010 removed this sneaky correction but did not add any mutation code to correct for that, when updating a VI from a previous LabVIEW version. That all said the evil has been done and can't be reversed now. Everybody just has to live with it.

  • EPS files does not render correctly in CS4 & CS5, but looks fine in CS2

    Hello,
    I am experiencing rendering issues with EPS files under CS4 and CS5. I don't believe there is anything wrong with the EPS file, as the file will render correctly under CS2.
    The EPS is a map of Australia, and it's the hill shading that fails to render correctly:
    CS2 (rendes correctly):
    CS4 (hill shading corruption):
    CS5 (hill shading corruption):
    Any help would be greatly appreciated.
    Many thanks,
    -nav.

    Is it possible that you see the native AI data in CS2 because it has been embedded in the EPS? To me it very much looks this way, since the actual EPSdata never even has complete outlines in your other images. This is a strong indication that the paths were never properly segmented for EPS export to begin with...

  • Omf import from cubase sx 3.0 sounds chopped but looks good. help please!

    Category: Audio
    Brief Summary: omf import from cubase 3.0 sx sounds chopped
    my CPU: Power Macintosh G4 1GH DP (Mirrored Drive Doors)
    RAM: 512GB
    APP: Logic Pro 7
    OS: Mac OS X 10.3.9
    QT: 6.5.1 Midi Model: PRESONUS FIREBOX
    Midi Driver: CORE AUDIO
    I IMPORTET A OMF FILE with about 6 audio tracks FROM CUBASE 3.O SX THAT I GOT FROMA PROFESSIONAL
    STUDIO.THE FILES HAVE 24 BIT AND 48 HZ SAMPLERATE
    I WAS ASKED BY LOGIC IF I WANT TO CONVERT THE AUDIO FILES.
    I DID NOT AND INSTEAD CHANGED THE 16 BIT AND 42 HZ AFTER THE IMPORT WAS FINISHED IN THE SONGbecause i wanna use the high quality to record my voice over the tracks.
    THE AUDIOTRAKS WERE IN THE AUDIOBARS BUT WHEN I LISTENED IT SOUNDED CHOPPED, OVERLAYING AND SHIFTED.
    THE OMF CONVERSION IN CUBASE WAS VERSION 2
    OTHERWISE I HAVE NO PROBLEMS WITH LOGIC SOMETIMES DIGITAL CRACKS.DO I HAVE PROBLEMS BECAUSE OF 512 RAM AND MEDIUM BUFFER SIZE THAT LEAVES NOT ENOUGH SPACE FOR OMF FILE? I RUN LOGIC ON THE 10.3.9 SURFACE.
    THE COMPUTER OF THE STUDIO I GOT THE FILES FROM IS MUCH MORE POWERFUL RUNS ON THE SAME 10.3.9 THOUGH, COULD THAT HAVE TO DO WITH IT?
    THANKS TO ALL THAT CAN HELP, PIA

    Wow, you are even more paranoid than me. Those are some good steps to take before upgrade. My upgrade went smooth, so I will list you my steps and you can compare.
    1. Turn off iPod completely (hold sleep, slide to power off)
    2. Download and install iTunes 8.2, reboot computer
    3. Turn on iPod and sync to new iTunes (this was my biggest fear since 8.2 is known for sync problems with touch and iphone)
    4. Buy, download and install 3.0 (total time around 40 min.)
    5. Eject from iTunes, power on/off (note: your app icons are gonna be all over the place across 4 pages so you have to do some rearranging
    6. Sync again
    7. Check wifi and reset network settings on iPod if signal is weak, or reset your router (I didn't have to do any of this but I reset my network setting on iPod anyway)
    8. Enjoy

  • Poor results when photos edited but look good when 'done'

    HI,
    Apple seems to have ALMOST fixed the problems with the editing part of iPhoto. But pictures are still not very sharp in the edit mode. However when I finish editing and click done the pictures look better. But they really look GREAT when I email them.
    Any ideas? I will send this as feedback to Apple. Maybe they will get it right next upgrade.

    Have you considered replacing the 6052E and SCXI-1140 with a single S-series board (such as the PCI-6143) in order to eliminate the phase delay? The catch to this configuration is that you would need to be in parallel mode, so you would need a 6143 for every SCXI-1141. The SCXI-1140 is going to introduce quite a bit of additional error into your measurements that could be eliminated by sending the signal straight to a simultaneous DAQ board. I would recommend looking at the amplitude of your noise and comparing it to the specs of both modules (keep in mind that the noise from the 1141 will be amplified through the 1140 depending on how you have the jumpers set) - this will tell you if your noise levels match the specifications.

  • Basic 3d not smooth

    does any1 has the same experience as mine when you using the basic 3d filter to rotate on the Y axis, it doesn't move smooth. I have only 2 keyframes on the Y spinning & it's not smooth. I've also notice that any animating motion keyframe would not be smooth. let's say I move my object form left to right & it's jiggering not smooth at all.
    any help?
    thanks
    JP

    hi
    need a bit more information i thinnk. what are you animating, over what values and in what time scale are you doing it. I was using the 3D filter on the Y axis today and it was a smooth as smooth can be. (animating from 0 to 89 degress over 8 frames, and then back again)

  • NBA League Pass / Youtube videos not smooth

    Hello,
    For something like 4 months I can't watch a NBA game properly nor a Youtube video as it's always kind
    of laggy and not smooth. It's watchable, but not perfect (about 28 to 29 fps according to fraps but it looks really sluggish at times)
    I even bought a new computer because I thought it was coming from there but the
    issue is still there. My configuration :
    Windows 7/8 (doesn't matter, doesn't solve the issue)
    Radeon HD 5450
    AMD FX 4130 Quad-Core Processor 3,8 Ghz
    4 Go of DDR3 RAM
    Hard disk of 500 Go
    About 30-40 % of my CPU is used when I run the LP according to my task manager
    so the problem does not come from there. And it's not my connection as I rarely
    watch games live. I tried to uncheck the material acceleration, no result. I
    tried to lower the quality of the video, no result. Do you have any idea where that could come from ?
    I hope you'll be able to help me.
    Thank you.

    Yep blatantly an adobe issue. I think people have just tired of chasing Adobe but there were quite a few posts a while back bemoaning sluggish playback relating to League Pass. Everyone was able to playback smoothly under HTML5 or using smart phones. I don't know if it will work but if you try rolling back to Flash 11.5 it will likely run much smoother. Adobe versions beyond 11.6 have caused a great many problems but they are not acknowledging, see this thread

  • I am trying to move a pdf file onto my iPad2, and it says that the device is not connected or has stopped working.  But Windows 7 recognizes the device and I can see my pictures.  Same thing happens when I try to put music onto the iPad.

    I am trying to move a pdf file onto my iPad2, and it says that the device is not connected or has stopped working.  But Windows 7 recognizes the device and I can see my pictures.  Same thing happens when I try to put music onto the iPad.

    When in iTunes on the computer,my our ipadmshould show under devices.
    Click on your ipadmunder devices then go to music at top center of the iTunes window, check what you want to sync for music. You need to set it to a folder if I remember which would have your music in it you want synced.
    Same with PDF files.....there should be an option for data or even PDF files at the top center area of iTunes when the iPad is clicked under devices.
    If your iPad does not show or you cannot click on it under devices which is in the leftane of iTunes, the iPad is not being seen by the computer.
    Try unplugging the USB cord from the laptop then give it a few and see if the computer picks it up.

    Try to do a reset, if it doesn't work try remove recently added apps this may solve your problem ( like google app because it has happened with me)
    Take a look at apps using your location service in privacy, it can cause battery draining.

    I got some more info that may help.
    I put a cd on my laptop, and was able to share it to my computer... So the problem is only from my computer to my laptop. I tried the firewall thing and it did not help. I read the rest of the trouble shooting page, and nothing else applies. iTunes is an execption and already was. I can not think of anything else being my problem. Do you think I should re-install iTunes or would that be a waste of time? At this point I am about to just call Apple for some help because I am getting to stressed over this.
