Help with Importing psd's, looks good in viewer, but not in canvas...
I have been searching for threads related to this issue, and this is what i've come up with...
It is my sequence settings, the picture looks great in the viewer but not in the canvas, as soon as i put it in the timeline, it goes blurry almost. I tried changing my settings to HD 16:9 and the picture looks great, but I need standard (NTSC DV 4:3), does anyone know a way around this? I can do it in Avid fine, why am I having such a hard time in FCP?
Thanks
P.S i have tried changing my image size in photoshop to 720x480 and 720x540 and it doesn't seem to make a difference.

The canvas is a low resolution proxy.
What does your sequence looking like on your NTSC production monitor?

Text looks good in ProRes422 but not Animation codec
I am doing a lower third in Motion and exporting the mov file to use in FCP.
The FCP timeline is in ProRes422.
If I export the text in Animation codec it looks jaggy and not good quality.
If I export the same thing in ProRes422 it looks good in FCP.
But, I can't get the transparency in the background with 422 , thats the problem.
How can I get around this?
In the past, with text, from Motn to FCP, I have had two video tracks with the same graphic and the top one was set to Travel Matte - Luma, and this gave me transparency, but my lower 3rd has a moving graphic element.
Can I export in Motion with 422 and somehow get a transparent background?
Thanks,,If your sequence will not render to your satisfaction in the host codec and because text cannot possibly get any better than that, you're either looking at it improperly, have something set incorrectly (render settings in FCP? Commonly missed problem), or your expectations are unreasonably high. But I'm not watching over your shoulder, no clue what you're doing or why you're doing it that way. But I know that Motion's text and pixel output is beautiful so I've got no problem insisting you have an easily corrected user error, you just need to figure out which one it might be.
Might try Mark Spencer's articles:

Why do you think a "mask" would improve the rendering? -
1080i video looks good on iMac but not on small movie screen
I have a 1080i video that I exported as a default 1440 x 1080 @ 59.94 fps. If I play the video on my iMac, which is 1920x1080, it looks good, but when I play it on a smaller movie screen you can really see the interlacing. I tried highlighting all my film on the primary timeline, going to Info --> Settings View from the dropdown box at the bottom, and then setting:
Roles: Video & Dialogue
Timecode Display: Drop Frame
Alpha Handling: None/Ignore Alpha
Field Dominance Override: Lower First
When I export and play that it looks pretty much the same, if not worse. I'm thinking that Drop Frame probably isn't good, but it still has the interlaced look.
Does anyone have any suggestions?How'd you do that?
I just imported it from the camera. Again, I messed up earlier as it originally imported at 29.97.
How'd you do that? What format is your media exactly? Codec and complete specs.
Codecs: H.264, Linear PCM
Frame Size: 1440 × 1080
Video Frame Rate: 29.97
Video Field Dominance: Upper
Well, that's interesting. I didn't realize it told me what the Field Dominance is. Now I know not to use Lower.
Why should I not change the Field Dominance? Also, I was reading another post where a guy tried copying his videos from one project, 1080i, to another project, 1080p, and he was not successful. Have you tried this or heard of anyone being successful doing this? Thanks. -
Help with exporting. Video looks horrible after export, but great when in premiere pro
Hey guys, looking for some advice on exporting.
When I finish a video, the color and everything looks great while in premiere pro, but after exporting it, the color ends up looking dull and the whole video looks blurry. I'm filming with a canon vixia hf200 at 60i. It imports as a AVCHD file, I deinterlace it, and then export at the Vimeo HD settings. What can be causing the video to look horrible after exporting? What settings should I be exporting under? Any help would be appreciated!It looks like you're coming up against some of the colorspace handling issues that the Premiere pipeline has.
Since your source is 60i AVCHD it's HD and thus rec709 colorspace. If it gets encoded with the standard rec601 colorspace (SD sizes are this) then all the colors get crushed. Look for a "709" and "601" radio button in your export settings. If it's not there you're out of luck.
The "blurry" is probably a poor quality de-interlacer. If Vimeo permits interlaced vs progressive do that instead. it's always cleaner to stay in the same video format all the way through.
TECHNICAL ASIDE:
rec709 is a triangle of possible colors that can be expressed by mixing of ratios of 3 emitters (the R G B corners of the triangle). (they are the RGB phosphors of a CRT and now LCD pixel elements)
rec709 is a bigger triangle than rec601 so it's capable of more colors. but if you accidently map that triangle's corners to the coordinates of rec601 it gets crushed.
In photography the "sRGB" uses the rec709 triangle. A bigger triangle that that is "Adobe RGB". So if you work in Adobe RGB and export to sRGB without conversion the colors get crushed because sRGB in inside the triangle of "Adobe RGB".

Help with form values being taken by one servlet but not by the other
Hi All,
I have 2 servlets one called the DataCollectServlet and the other the DBInsertServlet.
request.getParameter("fname"));
Works with the DataCollectServlet , but it doesnt work with the DBInsertServlet.
What could be the problem.It would be great if someone gives a detailed explaination.
Thanking you all in advance
ASThere is no parameter named fname in the request sent
to the DBInsertServlet.Hi,
Thanks for the reponse.I figured that the fname in DBInsertServlet
request.getParameter("fname")) , fname doesnt exist, silly me...
To address your question as to how the servlets are being called.....
There is .jsp page , which is like this.....
code:
<body>
<form action="./DBInsertServlet" method=post>
<input type="text" name="fname" value="<%=bean.getFirstname() %>" > </form>
</body>
But this doesnt seem to solve the purpose.....On the particular jsp page, the fields are displayed as "text fields", which can be edited/changed.
How do I prevent this particular thing.It would be great if you or someone sees this post and helps me.
Thanks in advance

Exported Movie looks good in Quicktime, but not in any other Player?
I Have noticed that the text that I have exported from After Effects were looking jagged in windows media and Kmplayer. At first I thought it was my render settings that were making it look low quality, but then I found that when played in Quicktime the movie look high rez. only problem is that quick time is extremely laggy when I open up my movies. Why is this happening?
Huh? That's simply hardware scaling. Your movie is not being viewed at 100% size.

My subs look good in dvdsp but when I burn an example the subs are too high in the frame.All my offsets are 0 and the alignment button is bottom.
Any thoughtsTry creating a new project, and bring in a short clip and one or 2 subtitles and see if you see the same behavior. If you don't, something's probably wonky in the project. If the sample behavior has the same problem, if you want to send it to me with the associated media, I'll take a quick look.

I'm using iweb 3.4 and trying to load audio files to my web page. Everything looks good in iweb but after publishing instead of having a control bar i have a "?". Does anyone know what to do?
Where are you hosting the site, how are you uploading the files and what's the URL of your site so we can examine it first hand?
Adding audio files by dragging onto the web page forces the viewer to have Quicktime installed on their computer in order to be able to listen to them. Look at the audio player options on this page of Roddy's iWeb for Musicians site: Audio Players for your Music Website.

iMovie seems to have developed a glitch. When i try to import photos they show in the timeline but not in the movie.
Any ideas?You are probably looking in the wrong place - all photos in Photo view and in event too unless you have a corrupted library
most common cause of your not finding them is bad sort - view menu ==> sort events
Nest most common cause is a bad data/time on the camera - this can be corrected using a smart album to find the photos from that camera and then using using the adjust time/date command to fix the bad ones
YOu can alwasy find the event a Photo is in by selecting it and selecting show event

Photo stream on my pc with windows 8 upload to my macbook (iPhoto) but not to my ios devices. On the other hand, and that is the funny thing, the shared picture folder on the pc is updated with new photos/pictures from my ios devices and from my macbook. Anyone has any idea of what is the problem? This drives me crazy because i can't upload a picture manually from the PC. Hopefully anybody have an answer. Thanks in advance.
Hi Naddod , I have the same problem. The same pc photostream receives new photos added using the photostream "add picture" button but ipad and iphone does not. If I take new photo from Iphone I can find it in Photostream of PC, Iphone and Ipad. Seems IOS error. Strange thing is that , if then I erase that new photo from the PC photostream, than it will be erased from photostream of PC, iPhone and iPad, erasing works, adding not.

I need more space on my iPhone to update to iOS 7.0.6. I was able to import and then delete my Camera Roll but not my Photo Library. How do I do that?
To delete your photo library you need to connect to iTunes, then remove the selection for the images, then sync the device.
While you are connected to iTunes do the update through iTunes. It takes much less memory as the update is loaded onto your computer, unpacked, then sent to the device.
