HELP! Distortion.

I am using a Canon PowerShot ELPH 300 HS camera to record videos. I am using these as well as some videos from iMovie, for example, stop motion videos I have done using iMovie. My videos are distorted! I have tried changing the presets but nothing has worked so far. Is there a preset in Premiere Elements that will allow me to use videos right from my camera as well as videos from iMovie without them being distorted?

That was great news about the good quality of your exports.
Depending on how you went to proceed, we could look at this as a preview issue and start thinking about
a. do you have the latest version of your video card installed
b. if you do, the we might consider deleting the BadDrivers.txt file. I am not sure where that would be in Premiere Elements 11 Mac directory. In Windows, it would be
Local Disk C
Program Files
Adobe
Premiere Elements
11.0
and in the 11.0 Folder is the BadDrivers.txt file that you delete.
But, if you right click on the Edit Mode monitor and select Magnification, is the set for "Fit"? And, if you right click on the Edit Mode monitor and select Playback Quality, you could experiment with Automatic and Highest. But because of the symptoms that you describe, I am less likely to go full force in those directions, but....
When you render the Timeline, you automatically generate preview files. Any chance that you have pile ups of them in the Adobe Premiere Elements Preview Files Folder wherever that may be in the Mac. (I am an Elements Windows user.)
Just some thoughts for now. But sounding good in the way of getting your exports in good quality in spite of the preview setbacks.

Need some xrandr help (distorted external screen, etc...)

I just managed to switch from i810 to the new Intel driver, and am able to use xrandr now.
On my laptop I have a resolution of 1024x768 (on a Intel 945GM), and I use to connect it to an external UXGA (1600x1200) monitor via a VGA.
Now, when I reboot my computer with the secondary (external) monitor, it seems like it becomes my default monitor (tint for example can be found on it). Oddly, on my laptop there is displayed a part of the external monitor.
To solve this I issue the following command
$ xrandr --output LVDS --mode 1024x768 --pos 0x0 --output VGA --mode 1600x1200 --above LVDS
I put the external above (or below) the monitor one in order to not disable DRI (the whole screen stays within the Virtual range).
Unfortunately now I get a slight distortion on the external screen - a sort of snowy/ grain-like effect which is especially visible around the edges of windows.
How can I get rid of this?
And is there a way to set my laptop's screen as the main one?
Also, when I try to set a wallpaper for both screens (I can choose between screen 1 and 2) using Nitrogen, Nitrogen crashes with the following error:
$ nitrogen wallpaper/
The program 'nitrogen' received an X Window System error.
This probably reflects a bug in the program.
The error was 'BadDrawable (invalid Pixmap or Window parameter)'.
(Details: serial 4334 error_code 9 request_code 14 minor_code 0)
(Note to programmers: normally, X errors are reported asynchronously;
that is, you will receive the error a while after causing it.
To debug your program, run it with the --sync command line
option to change this behavior. You can then get a meaningful
backtrace from your debugger if you break on the gdk_x_error() function.)
Besides, Visibility for example isn't displayed at all - it should be in the lower right corner of the main screen when starting for example Pidgin, but it isn't there.
Attached is my output from xrandr -q (with the external monitor plugged in, turned on, and in use), and my xorg.conf:
xrandr -q
$ xrandr -q

You said that you built a PC and that it died last summer. What monitor did you use with it? If you really want to play 3D intensive games at high res with great graphics you really should get a MacPro desktop. The graphics cards in the current iMacs are really low- middle to middle of the road cards. They will run most current 3D games at 1024x768 res with settings on med to high with AA turned off. The problem is the next generation of games due out in '07-08 will require even more powerful GPUs to run at "great graphics" levels that i think you want. And with the iMacs/MBPs you're stuck with the GPU. With the MacPros you get a good middle of the road GPU standard or a great build to order GPU for some extra cash. And you can upgrade your GPU anytime in the future.

Need help diagnosing cause of printing issue w/ image distortion

Hello, I'm looking for some expert advice for my print issue with image distortion (see above) on my files once setup and proofed by my printer.
I have a large PSD background file out of photoshop (CMYK, 170mb psd) that is being placed into an InDesign document. No preflight errors, all correct SWOP cmyk settings, and I keep having issues where images distort on my printers proofs - they seem unable to explain the issue and can't offer any other suggestions beyond ("just try resaving/uploading again" which of course has an added fee with each upload...).
The files are all fine on our end: on-screen, on our cmyk proofs, and our saved PDFs/packaged files. But everytime our printer opens these they seem to have these distorted image problems - scrambled images (almost as if there was a ghosted transparent image in the distorted area), strange lines (see above, and color distortion (usually greens and pinks, see above).
Is this an issue with my settings/file formats? Maybe the issue lies on our printers end? I'll keep checking this throughout the day and provide quick answers to anyone who can help me get to the bottom of this.
Adobe forums have been a huge help in years past so I decided this was by best bet for a resolution from those who know more than myself (or my printer), thanks for taking the time to help!

MacBook Pro "15 2011 model has started crashing. Symptoms: screen distortion/images fragmenting/blue screening. Help!

Hi everyone!
I currently own a Macbook Pro '15, 4gb that was purchased in early 2011 running Snow Leopard (my version is currently 10.6.8). For under the past 3 year it has been heavily reliable, and I have not ran in to any software, or hardware issues. However, over the past 3 or so months I have been having issues.
During May 2014 through to present date I have started experiencing screen glitches. It first began with image distortion, causing the whole system to crash, which would mean I would have to turn it off and reboot the system. Later this turned into a series of screen blurring (consisting of images fragmenting all over the place) and then finally followed with 2 weeks of blue screening on start up, meaning that I could not get into my log user unless I entered safe mode. I should also mention that I have no third party issues.
After doing some considerable research on apple forums I did what had to be done. In the last two weeks I have wiped my MacBook Pro, re-installed the OS and considered that it was now a process of elimination. For the first week the software seemed to been running smoothly, I wasn't having any failings until I hit the second week – of course, the glitches began all over again and I faced two in the space of a half hour (first my screen split into two during listening to music on spotify with no other applications open in the background, shortly after rebooting I faced a much worse case of my Mac completely dark blue screening with white lines.)
Now, once again, it only works 'well' on safe mode. I did a check in both modes. Left my computer idle with no programmes running for a half hour and the same thing happened with the screen, went black for a moment, moved the mouse and I received a fragmented screen again. I'm completely fed up at this point, considering I have the bare minimal amount on my Mac, I honestly can't fathom how it's come to this.
Now considering my model is not even three years old at this stage you can fully understand my frustration since I heavily rely on my laptop for educational purposes, which is making it very difficult to be able to concentrate on any of my studies. If anything, it is causing a great deal of stress. With my product being out of warranty I don't have an obscene amount of money to pay for a new one. When I already paid roughly £1,699 for the product in the first place.
The worst thing is, I've even done a EtreCheck, this was yesterday (the most recent/last time it was in use)

I've had a look to book an appointment at the Genius Bar, but would you believe it, there are no available appointments at my local store! I really would appreciate if anyone could offer any assistance in how to lodge a formal complaint? My days rely on being able to do my work, so whilst I have tried to book a reservation I am at a loss, and pretty much screwed having a Mac that I clearly cannot use functionally.
If anyone can provide any help, I'd be absolutely most grateful!

I have done what you suggested. However, I have to disagree with you about the 'third party' comment. Although those minor issues were on there which I picked up on shortly afterwards, they were easily removed. It hasn't CHANGED the symptoms I described about my mac. Both items are removed (growl only tends to make your mac 'lag' and that's not the problem I'm having)
I am still having all the above issues, regardless of my mac being fully minus third party items. This mac hasn't had any heavy use, or had many applications installed on it ect, there is really no reason for it to be failing. I'd understand if it was old, but it's literally only just passed being 3 years old.
If you can provide any more help that would be appreciated, thank you!

Powerbook G4 Screen Distortion...please help me fix

Hey all. This is my first post on this forum, because I haven't owned a Mac since 2009. But I come to this board often to troubleshoot when I am helping my friends/family with their Macs (yeah, i'm the 'computer guy'). Anyway, I now have a Mac that was given to me by a family member that has a very specific problem that I hope someone will be able to help me fix.
It's a 2004 Powerbook G4 (A1046). It turns on, and I hear the chime, but the whole screen is distorted. It's weird because the screen flickers to a normal light blue screen for a second when it changes from the boot screen (with the spinning wheel) to the login screen, but then it remains distorted and I can barely make out anything on the screen. The computer works otherwise.
Here's a link to my Youtube video showing exactly what is happening. http://youtu.be/Ce7bTYFKrdE (around 0:56 is where you can really see the distortion most clearly).
I tried to see if it was a problem with the OS, but since I don't have an OS X install disc, I tried running a live CD of Linux (PowerPC version). I was able to run the live CD, but the distortion remained throughout. I also tried connecting it to my external monitor, but the same distortion appeared across both monitors.
Any possible causes for this you guys can think of, or possible solutions, would be appreciated. Thanks in advance.

Those are rather classic symptoms of video hardware failure. However, quite a few G4 PowerBooks and G5 iMacs whose serials numbers began with W8 experienced actual display screen failures.
Both are bad because so many used parts now offered as repair parts were scavenged from defective computers.
A test to sort whether the video hardware (not worth fixing) or the display unit (maybe worth fixing if you can get parts) is at play, connect an external monitor. If the video defects reappear on the external monitor, the video hardware is shot and it is time to bid the computer a fond farewell. The video hardware is part of the logic board and replacement boards are scare can can cost as much as a used working Powerbook.
If the problem does not appear on the external, the video hardware is fine but the display unit is bad. You will still be looking for a hard-to-find part. However, one could continue using the computer as a desktop model with the external monitor,
PowerBooks are not easy to service at home. How clever are you with computers and small fiddly bits?

Can you please help me fix a crackling/distortion problem that i have with AA when recording?

I've read before on the forum that some other users have the same problem and I've tried quite about everything to fix my problem as well, but still no result.
When I record, be it in AA 1 or in AA 3, i sometimes end up with channels being distorted (randomly!).
Here's my config:
I think it's important to say that I've been having this problem starting only a few months ago, though I haven't reinstalled Windows or anything. I'm working with windows XP SP3. I think (though i'm not sure) the problem occured about the same time I've updated my M-Audio drivers to version 5074. I've also tried disabling C1E as I've read on this forum on another topic and no result.
Also,
here's a sample of the crackling:
http://dl.transfer.ro/transfer_ro-26jun-168e94ae4dc5d9.zip
I'll send a bottle of Jack to whoever helps me fix this one Really now, I'm desperate!

I don't hear crackling in that sample, myself, just a split-second rant in another language I can't identify, but anyhoo...
1. Have you tried rolling back to the 5069 driver?

I see you're having your issue in WinXP SP3. One guy (see post 43 on page 5) reports it in Win 7 with this driver. People have reported better success with the 5069 driver but that one has been reported to lock on shutdown in Win7.

Same driver, Win7, different M-Audio card, different sound program, but crackling/sizzling. Fix reported by OP in post 14 by adjusting BIOS settings:
Disabling EIST (Enhanced Intel Speedstep Technology) and CPU C state in the power section of the BIOS made all the crackle sizzle go away!
There's a checkmark in the last window in your screenshots for that one. Also discussion of suggestions to adjust latency, etc., in soundcard which didn't fix it for him but may have for others.

HELP! My sound is distorted when I export from Final Cut Pro 10.3

How do I use Compressor 4.1 with Final Cut Pro 10.3? My sound is all distorted when I download! HELP!!!

You mean 10.0.3, I suppose. This is a VERY old version and it does not work in Mavericks; Compressor 4.1 is a recent version and maybe there is some incompatibility.
You should update to 10.1.1, but 10.1 introduced significant changes. Before updating, follow these excellent recommendations and tutorials from Steve Martin and Mark Spencer:

PLEASE help - Elements 8 forcing 16:9 to a 4:3 layout causing distortion

I'm so frustrated with Elements 8 that it's actually starting to make me feel ill now...!
I've been trying for the last four hours to make a simple six minute movie on Adobe Elements 8. I won't bore you with all the details of the intense frustration of using this program (mainly to do with massive massive PC useage which causes the whole thing to crawl along making every task take four times longer than it should) but having finally acheived getting the thing edited and saved it's managed to convert what started out as a widescreen video into 4:3, so everythig is squeezed and distorted.
I've tried everythig in the save area to do it differently, but no joy.
Having researched it as best I could (not easy) I find that there are settings before you save. Basically there are two that apply to me:
PAL DV Standard
PAL DV Widescreen
Both squeeze the movie into 4:3.
I've used this program before and got Widescreen in, widescreen out no problems, but not any more.
I've tried searching the help menus, I've tried finding a way to contact Adobe, but total blank.
Can anyone pleas please help?

Thank you. Adobe forums won't let me copy and paste the question and I've just about lost the will to live with this one after five hours now.
I know that sounds pathetic but it's just ground me down to nothing.
I give up.

When using Firefox certain videos play but the image is green and distorted.. help?

Firefox 3.6.8 and 3.5 (I downgraded to see if that would solve the issue)
Windows 7
Intel Core i5
Flash Player: WIN 10,1,53,64
When using Firefox certain videos play but the image is green and distorted. The image turns into lines and sometimes it half of the screen of the video. Examples are streaming MLB.tv video and some vimeo videos. The odd thing is that it isn’t all Vimeo videos. Is this a flash issue?
The issue does not happen with Internet Explorer which leads me to believe this is an issue with Firefox. I downgraded to 3.5 and the issue still persists.

Cs5 - images have weird grid-like/pixelation distortion i cant get rid of! help!

i've just downloaded the trial of photoshop cs5 (it took ages mind you!) and when i go to open (or create) a file that is larger (eg 1000x750 pixels) there is this weird grid that distorts the image (it's not the grid you can turn off and on or the grid that shows the actual pixels). when i open a smaller file there is no grid and the image is perfectly clear and normal - but when i zoom out there is a grid. also, when i'm zoomed out (eg 66% but sometimes from even 200%) the distortion happens, whereas if i zoom closer it disappears.
it doesn't distort the image itself, but distorts the colours in parts of the image.
i've experimented enlarging the canvas of a smaller image and placing a larger image into it on a different layer, but then the grid affects not only the larger image but the smaller as well, like it is stretching the colours to the edge of the canvas, or trying to pixelate/fuzz the image. however the grid doesn't affect the whole canvas, just the bits above and to the side of the larger images (mostly).
also when i zoom in/out gradually the squares of the grid enlarge and change size (both bigger and smaller).
so i don't know what the problem is, and any help/suggestions would be much appreciated as i need to use the program for a uni assignment due in a couple of weeks!!
thanks!

Hey- I have the same issue. When I started using cs5 I noticed this grid/distortion right away. At first I thought it was my wacom tablet (I use an Intuos 3) but its not. Its very annoying because I cant put my fingure on why this is happening. Anytime I ask a friend about it who normally knows alot about photoshop they tell me its that grid option thing which I have already turned off. I have included a screen shot of what the issue looks like. Any ideas anyone?

Distortion of speed changed action in final product - help!

Hello everyone,
I'm a newbie to the Mac world and am now playing with my FCE HD program. I took a short fight seq. on my Sony CyberShot 5.0 mega pixels (yes, old camera!) and downloaded as a QT movie. I then imported this into FCE. I increased the scene 200%. On FCE it looks great, but when I burned it on iDVD that particular action scene became distorted. I recall checking to blend frames which I did. I thought maybe importing it as a MPG4 would make a difference? Help!
Also...when I open this scene in QT PRO and increase the speed of the scene. I import it to FCE and it plays back at normal speed... why does it do that?
Any help would be greatly appreciated.....thank you!

I found out what I did... I think. I read about "not converting, and, not confining" when exporting. I didn't do that and when I burned it to disc, the speeded up action sequences were clean. Hope this is helpful for anyone else.

Could someone help me restore my photos? I was trying to "restore my database" in iPhoto when it shut down - now my thumbnails are distorted, logged under a new name, and when you click on a thumbnail it opens as another photo. I was following another "helpful hint" hold down the option and command key and restart iPhoto - select the top three and you should be able to get rid of the dreaded exclamation point. My MAC ran through the first two options dealing with thumbnails, but crashed during the "restore database" step and now I have a mess. Help, please. Thank you.

Download iPhoto Library Manager and use its rebuild function. This will create a new library based on data in the albumdata.xml file. Not everything will be brought over - no slideshows, books or calendars, for instance - but it should get all your albums and keywords back.
Because this process creates an entirely new library and leaves your old one untouched, it is non-destructive, and if you're not happy with the results you can simply return to your old one.

Envelope Distortion help?

I am trying to make an envelope with 2 objects. One is a symbol set of circles, and another is a patch of stars. every time I try to make the envelope, it keeps saying that there needs to be a single path, I'm assuming that means the circles need to become 1 path somehow. I don't know what that means. I've read the directions over and over and I don't understand what I'm doing wrong. I hope someone can help.

uploader still isnt working for some reason, so I'll try to explain it better.
I have 2 objects, a circle and a patch of stars.
I used the circle and created a symbol set which I colored and grouped.
I grouped all the stars together and placed the group of stars on top of the circles.
Do the stars need to be made into a symbol set too?
Then I tried to use the envelope distortion but it kept saying there needs to be a single path. Sorry I can't upload a picture...

Help! crop and move curser distorted in Windows 7

I bought a new PC and was afflicted with Windows 7. The latest thing to hate is this issue with my Photoshop move and crop too.
The crop and move curser is distorted. Instead of the crop tool curser, it's 3 of them pixelated in a row, same with the move tool. It is the same with CS4 and CS2. I tried removing and reinstalling twice and no help. Anyone seen this?

Also in addition to updating your video card driver, i've seen that happen when
the system dpi scaling is set higher than 96.
Check under Appearance and Personalization>Adjust Font Size and see what it's set to.
