Help - canvas doesn't match timeline -- ghost images appear

Hi,
After having no problem in panther and final cut 5.0 I've had to upgrade to tiger (10.4.8) and FCP 5.1.2. When I opened and edited my project, I got a sort of ghost image (a still image from elsewhere in the timeline) appearing in the canvas over where another clip should be. This happened once and I tried everything (deleting and then brining in clean copy of clip) and no dice. The good news is that when I output to QT.mov, everything looks as it should.
But suddenly, I'm having this problelm in many areas of my project, which makes it hard to edit at all. Has anyone else had this problem? I've tried rendering everything, but it doesn't change anything.
Two other clues:
1) at the same time I've had trouble getting VoiceOver to recognize where i am in the timeline so have had to create "In" marker for the project at that spot where I'm doing a new voiceover.
2) For what it is worth, there does seem to be some odd lines (same color as rendered project but as if cut into smaller pieces in the area of the timeline that triggers this).
please help! (and thanks in advance)

Glad to help. I'm glad to see someone else is working in NY on this cold, gray day. One thing I cannot recommend too highly; browse this forum every day. You see a topic that might be useful, read it. Pretty soon, you'll be an expert at troubleshooting fcp.

Help, ghost image appearing in composition background

Hello
I have an issue of a ghost image appearing in the composition background. I can't figure out how it got there or how to remove it. It's really annoyong as the image also appears in rendered videos.
This only seems to appear when my composition settings is set at 1024 x 576 px, which I must use for projects. If I increase the composition size by 1 pixel, the image disappears, change it back and it reappears.
Please note, that there is no files in my project and the image still appears.
Thanks in advance for any help.

Update your graphics driver and flush the disk cache. This is an artifact that relates to that - eitehr the buffer reappears when you set it back to the old resolution or an invalid cache is pulled in. It only disappears when you change the resolution because naturally there is no previously stored data...

Colours Don't match up, ghost image

I have a 1515n printer, with less than a 1000 prints,.. just coming up for it's first black cartridge.
Unfortunatley, it has developed an image qaulity fault where the cyn and magenta images do not match up, and get laid down on the paper in different places. So hence a ghosting effect on the final print.
I have searched the web and forums,.. for info but searching for registration and other keys words does not help.
Does anyone know how to fix colour image registration issues on a 1515 type printer.
Many thanks
Diyhouse

To close this issue out for folks who have taken the trouble to read the problem statement.
The fix was actually quite simple,.. I merely needed to run the calibration routine,. which had not run for some time,. why it drifted out so far out, I do not know.
But thanks for reading.
Regards to all

I need help with the shape matching of this image

I am currently using NI Vision Assisstant to help me with the logic for the VI code. So currently I have 3 diagonal rectangles and I cannot figure out how to find the shape of each of them. Attached is a screenshot of the image I have. I have it going through a Luminosity filter and then a frequency filter and then I converted it to a binary image... now I am at this point: If anyone could help me find the rectangles... that would be greatly appreciated. I am sorry for such a basic quesiton.
Thank you,
Yousuf M. Soliman

Hello Yousuf,
There are quite a few functions that you might find useful for locating rectangles in a binarized image. Possibilities include Shape Matching, Pattern Matching, Geometric Matching, Shape Detection, and more. The difficulty that you will run into is the fact that your retangles are not straight edged, but are also not curved edges. Many of the shape matching tools look for straight edges and right angles, which are not present in your image. As such, it may be easiest to first use edge detecting tools to locate your edges, then use measurement tools to calculate area or distance.
I played around with your image briefly, and was able to localize the edges to within an approximation. I used the Clamp (Rake) tool to achieve the edge localization seen in the attached screen shots. As you can see in ClampRect.png, the edge lines drawn aren't terribly accurate, but the other images show the points used, and with some playing around you should be able to find a better approximation of the rectangle edge. Hope this helps!

Bounced WAV files's timestamp doesn't match timeline issue.

I'm mixing down some music for picture. In Logic Pro 8.01, the audio/video sync perfectly. But the bounced WAV files' timestamp does not match. For example, in Logic Pro/Video's timeline, it is starting at 01:00:00:00, but the resulting WAV file's timestamp is at 01:00:03:18. Or Logic's timeline start at 01:13:22:00, the resulting WAV file's timestamp is at 01:13:26:12. I checked it with Pro Tools and BWAVReader.
Logic is set at 29.97 Non Drop and 48kHz matching the DV file. Am I doing something wrong or is this a bug? Any help would be appreciated. Thanks

my preference would be to get Audition 3 (too bad we can't get an upgrade price from CS3 Production Premium to Audition 3...).
Are you sure. I got Audition 3 for US$99, IIRC, from CS2 Production Studio (contained Au 2.0). That was just after the release of Au 3, but not THAT long ago. With CS3 Production Premium, I would think that you would qualify even more than I did.
One point - I'm not using Reverb as an effect...
Then that was my error. I thought that you HAD added a bit of Reverb - sorry. And no, I was talking about the Effect, not the room ambience. Just a mistake on my part.
I am going to try a work around tonight... I am going to export each of the 2 audio tracks separately (with effects applied) and then bring those 2 WAVs back into PP3 to be mixed and just drop the original audio to see what happens
I often do similar to what you are doing - Upmixing. I know that the music industry is opposed to this with re-releases of music, where original multi-channel masters do not exist, but for my work, it is OK. I'll use duplicate Audio, just as you are, and then mix each 2-channel Clip a bit differently, using a touch of EQ, Reverb and Delay (most often), plus the spatial location of the sources for DD 5.1 SS mixing. Now, I am keeping the Effects to a minimum, but the Audio is room-filling, when I do it right, and with a light-hand. For my sources, I have found subtle is better, unless I need a panned SFX, or similar, and then I get to go a bit wild, like landing the helicopter on the back of the audience's heads!
Have you tried SoundBooth for the Audio mixing? I only used it in Beta, but had Audition, so never saw the use for it in my workflow. Who knew that Audition would soon be only a stand-alone?
Good luck, and please let me know what you find out with your tests. I can always learn more about the Audio-side of the street.

Source footage is 16:9 but canvas doesn't match

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=JDLJQalRTxo
Above is the link to 6 seconds of footage. The first 3 seconds is a still that shows the aspect ratio of the canvas, and the second shows the aspect ratio of the source footage in QT. I am trying to figure out how to get my canvas to properly represent the source footage. The canvas is cropping the footage and distorting it.
I shot this on a PD170 with the 16:9 setting on, with the addition of a wide angle lens. I also have the sequence set to anamorphic.
Any suggestions are appreciated.

Thank you for the post. I've tried to right click on the clips and select that option, but it tells me that it is not available for those files. Is there somewhere else I should be looking?
I'll break it down step-by-step in case you're skipping a step
Make sure your Browser is in List View.
Select all of your offending clips (I guess everything you've captured) in the Browser
Scroll the Browser to the right until you see the Anamorphic column (it might be a lengthy scroll)
Once you see the column, right-click in the column for any one of the selected clips and select Yes from the shortcut menu. All of your clips will now be anamorphic.
But be sure to right-click, simply clicking (or left-clicking) will only toggle the property for a single clip (and deselect all other clips).
As JSL has already mentioned, you might need to re-edit your clips into your sequence if you've begun editing. (Either that or clear the distort property of the clips added so far, but please confirm that your sequence is set as Anamorphic.
Or is that what you've been doing?

Need help figuring out how to make all images appear on every page

Hello,
I user Dreamweaver MX and created this site for my church
www.ccosj.com. When I created the site I used image ready for the
ind. parts of the page. Loading them into dreamweaver and adjusting
the rollovers there (with some tutorial help since I am not that
good at it) I get the pages all to look great on my computer but
when uploading to the site, every page I click on all the images
reload and therefore the pictures constantly look as if they are
reloading. What am I doing wrong? should I take the preload script
out? Why does it look good on my computer but not on the site? Any
help would be appreciated but please know I am a novice at this.

Update it using iTunes on your computer instead of trying to do it over the air. The space requirement doesn't apply.
In addition, when doing so, you can choose download only initially, allowing you to unplug the phone and go about your day while iOS downloads. Then, when it's finished downloading, you can plug it in and update it without having to wait.

[help] images colors doesn't match

Hello, when I place an image inside a new document the colors doesn't match with original.
For sample I save in tiff format from photoshop a rich black (70% 50% 30% 100%) when I place inside illustrator I get (86,01% 84,97% 78,95% 100%).
The color profile are syncronized and I use Europe General Purpose 2 (CMYK Coated FOGRA27 ISO12647-2:2004)

How do you know what values the bitmap image has in Illustrator? Did you pick up the color with the Color Picker? It's possible this originally picked up the value in RGB, and that got converted.
Does Illustrator have a CMYK separation preview such as InDesign, where you can measure the original TIFF values? If not, you can also save as PDF and examine that in Acrobat, using the Output Preview.

Hi Russ, Thank you for your reply!
System Spec:
2x2.26 Ghz QUAD-CORE
12 GB RAM 1066 MHz DDR3
I've stored the library in HARD DISK which is installed inside my computer (1 TB capacity) and different from my hard disk in which I've installed all my applications (600 GB capacity).
I've installed FCP since 2001, bought FCP X in 2012: never had a problem. Yesterday I was editing my video of my last vacations (in California!) and I have updated FCP X, downloading FCP X 10.1.1: then the problem!
Strange is the fact that I've just tried to export a short project, I can see the final product quite well.
What is impossible is playing the clips within Final Cut: they are jumpimg, moving, presenting some frame in green or red ...
Everything all right in iMovie.
I've just checked the RAM: 9GB out of 12 GB is busy, could this be the problem?
Motion is very slow: for 20 sec of project, it takes minutes to play. And once again, if you finalize the projet and export it in Quicktime, you can see it correctly.
I do hope you may suggest something, I'm getting crazy!
Thank you in adavance

Itunes will no longer accept any of my credit cards. Says security code doesn't match with any card I use. I have inputted new card info in the apple store area and it still says the same thing in itunes. Customer service is no help at all.

Itunes will no longer accept any of my credit cards. It says vcode doesn't match when it does. Customer service is no help. I have re-inputted the info in the account section of the apple store and in itunes--still says vcode doesn't match.

Image in Lightroom doesn't match exported image viewed in Photoshop

After all my hard work in Lightroom, I export the image to a folder on my hard drive. When I open this exported image in Photoshop and view it alongside the Lightroom version of its "twin" in Lightroom, there is a significant difference. Why is this? I want to use these images in my books, but my time is wasted if I end up with anything other than what I created in Lightroom. Shouldn't these images match exactly?

Thanks Jao and Michael...the color management idea makes a lot of sense.
Adding to this idea, when I open the Pshop file I get a message about the doc having an embedded profile that doesn't match current RGB working space, and the usual 3 options: Use the embedded profile, Convert color to the working space, or discard embedded profile. No matter which option I choose, none of the opened docs match the Lightroom version.
The color balance is fine, but the colors aren't as vibrant. The Pshop photo is dull and lifeless compared to the Lightroom version. I used Clarity which added subtle brightness, and Vibrance to crank up the color in LR which added wonderful dimensionality and punch to the landscape scene, but the Pshop version has dulled these back down.

Sync ebooks to ipad creates ghost images in iBook , help fix please

Hi
My Partner got a new ipad air for Xmas , and I helped her put some music and books on it for her .
However when we sync the books from iTunes (new copy just put on her computer )( windows vista ) some of the books appear fine in iBook, but many other have a ghostly appearance , just a cover and many covers the same in ghost .
Most of the books came from iTunes and were fine there all look fine but only on ipad does not work. Did sync with cable not wifi . And all are in correct format as works in iTunes .
What's going on and how to fix . I already tried deleting via iTunes ( re sync with no books ) but that also leaves ghost images on ipad iBooks . Then sync again but still have same problem .
Any suggestions appreciated , had a google and the same question is around but no one has answered it yet .
That's mark

Hi, and welcome to Apple Support Communities.
Which exact iBook model is it?
You can choose from this list:
http://www.everymac.com/systems/apple/ibook/index-ibook.html
Which version of the operating system is it running now?
How much RAM is installed?
What kind of optical drive does it have? (CD-ROM, CD-RW, DVD, Combo, or SuperDrive?)
(Sometimes these older model Macs simply won't work with the newer gear.)
