How make cookie cutter with fade-out to white surround - a vignette?

I have been given a wedding picture and my client wants a soft white vignette, the picture fading to white all round. I have the Cookie Cutter but can see no way of changing the hard edge to a vignette.

Okay lets start over:
1. Drag the locked background layer (drag the layer in the layers panel)
    down to the new layer icon at the bottom of the layers panel.
    This duplicates the background layer.
2. Make the background layer active (click on the bottom layer in the layers panel).
3. Go to the bottom of the layers panel, click on the new fill or adjustment layer icon
    and select Solid Color from the drop down menu. When color picker appears, select
    white as the color and click ok.
    (you can change the color later by double clicking on the fill layer icon in the layers
     and choosing a new color)
4. Make the top layer in the layers panel active by clicking on the top layer in the layers panel.
5. Select the cookie cutter tool, choose the shape, set the feather, uncheck the crop box and
   draw out the shape on the image.
The amount of feather depends on how large your image is, so you might have to try a few different settings.

How can I print with the black and white cartridge only?

I am trying to print using the black and white cartridge only because magenta is out of ink but I'm getting the following error message in HP Photosmart C7200 series print dialog:
The printer is out of ink.
The following ink cartridges are empty: Magenta. Replace these ink cartridges to resume printing.

I am absolutely disgusted by this; clearly a scam from HP to make more money by selling extra ink cartridges!! I will make sure to never buy any products from the shoddy rip off merchants at HP ever again!!

How to lenghten the clip with fade out

I have a clip on the secondary storyline wich ends with a fade out. I'd like to lenghten the clip maintaining its fade out as it is. Is there a quick way to do it without having to cut and paste the fade out?

Actually something strange happens here. I move the clip backward (after having selected clip and dissolves) and I get that the clip is moved, but the dissolves remain where they were.....) :

i see! well, that's good to know. i didn't realize you could
do
transitions on image swaps (of course, i've rarely used them
so far).
and i just assumed the OP was actually trying to do a
slideshow, which
could still be the case i guess. i suppose he's covered
either way!

Problems with fade out

i'm trying to do a fade out at the end of rather long audio file, about 20 minutes, and the fade out function will not work. it works at the beginning of the track, i can click, create the little ball-points and drag them up and down as i please, but at the end, i create a ball point, then go to create another one to bring the fade down, and the first ball i created vanishes. i even tried creating a new music track separate from the one i created for the fade in, and same result. fade out doesn't work after about 3/4 of the way through the track. any suggestions?

The zoom setting deal.. it's the circle button right? With the L and R on it.. I tried moving it to L to zoom out but it doesn't change a thing. I was so proud of myself for finally learning how to fade in and out today.. but now this won't work. It's weird, once it passes like 520 or so, the ball disappears and the fading stops working (past that point).

Problem with 'Fade Out'

As part of an edit, I am trying to both 'Fade In' and 'Fade Out' of a particular video. The 'Fade In' works fine, but I'm having problems with the 'Fade Out'. For some strange reason, while the video part of it fades out properly, the audio that also fades out is not the correct audio - it is audio from earlier in the video (I'm assuming that - it is a live music video - the part that is fading out is crowd response, but the audio somehow has music in it)
This is my first time using iMovie '08 - I have used past versions of iMovie over the last few years and have NEVER had this problem. Any suggestions or known fixes? Any feedback much appreciated.

still confused. I don't get a yellow band when I select a clip - it just kinda gets highlighted.
Also - when I go to audio FX in the editing field, it really has nothing to do with selecting audio - just a bunch of equalizer options. Not really sure why a basic fade out wouldn't control both the video as well as audio of the clip. It always did in previous versions of iMovie.

Is it possible to burn a playlist to a CD with fade-outs & fade-ins?

I can burn a playlist to a CD with start time and end time edits and I can regulate the number of seonds between tracks. But when I try to burn a CD that has been set to cross fade, the burn process ignores the fade out and fade in and just burns the songs at regular volume from start to finish. I unselected the automatic sound check feature, but that didn't solve the problem.

The Crossfade effect only applies to playback in iTunes. It does not carry over to audio CDs burned using iTunes nor iPod transfers.
My guess is you will need to doctor the individual audio files first with a third-party utility before burning these new tracks to a CD.

Have you tried changing your root tag to WindowedApplication?
I think AIR may not support using Application as the root tag. Is
there a reason you want to avoid WindowedApplication?

How do I remove the fade out/fade in between songs on an album?

I'm trying to listen to an album that consists of only one 45-minute song, but for some reason it is divided into 11 parts on iTunes. During play, each part fades out at the last two seconds and back in in on the next part. The song was meant to be played all at once but this feature practically destroys this possibility. It absolutely ruins the song and it's painful to listen to this way. Is there an option to remove this effect?
I understand there's a way to combine songs from a CD into one song but can I do that straight from my library?

You cannot combine songs after they have been imported. That has to be done while the CD is showing in the import CD window.
Assuming that you have imported this from a CD (and that you still have the CD - {as you are legally obliged to do}), you need to import the CD again. This time, when it shows in the import window, select the tracks you want to join and then select Options on the right of the screen: The Join CD Tracks is on the menu that appears:
Note:
I have only selected songs four through eight, but you can select all of them.
Join CD tracks only appears on that menu when you have selected two or more adjacent songs. (You cannot select non-adjacent tracks.) See the next screenshot.
By the way, if you do not have the Sidebar showing in your iTunes as I do (CTRL+S), then click on the drop-down menu to find the Audio CD (import) window.

Problems with fade outs - audio

Hi
I have a problem that's driving me crazy. Whenever I add a fade out transition at the end of a clip, a random piece of audio from earlier in the clip appears at full volume alongside the fade. Is this a bug and does anyone know a way round it? iMovie 5 never used to do this.
Any help greatly appreciated.
Thanks
Ian

I had a similar issue just on the weekend. But, it wan't just the "fade out transition". Other transitions were affected by this same "bug".
I decided to fade out the audio first before applying the "fade out transition". This is not the solution which I wanted personally, but it did the trick. No random piece of audio.
I do agree that a real solution to the issue would be excellent! Hopefully, tech support at Apple will have something for afrocelt1121.
Good Luck!

Fade Out to White in Final Cut Pro (FCP)

Could someone please show me how to do add a fade-to-white transition in Final Cut Pro (FCP)? (Instead of black, which is default.) I want to be able to do both: 1) fade to white; 2) and white to the picture. An example clip:
http://www.allfilters.com/campingfilters/gravityfed/platypus-gravityworks-filter
*Click on the "Videos" tab.
This clip ends with "fade to white." I want to apply the same effect in the beginning (white to movie).
Thank you in advance.

Effects > Video Transitions > Dissolve> Dip to Color Dissolve ... add it at the start and end
Double click the transition at the start (the Fade In) to open it in the Viewer and change the Color property to White. For extra credit you can change the Start value to 50%. Then double click the transition at the end (the Fade Out) to open it in the Viewer and again change the Color property to White. For extra credit change the End value to 50%.
Or another way would be to use Effects > Video Generators > Matte > Color Solid to create a "White" clip and then use that to dissolve into and out of your edit using a regular Cross Dissolve transition or by placing the Color Solid on another layer and the keyframing the opacity.
Hope it helps
Andy

Fade out to white

how do we fade out to white

Open the Generators in the Viewer and select Matte>Color.
Change it to white and drag it next to the clip you want to fade out.
Insert a cross-dissolve and stretch it to about 2 seconds ........ or whatever suits you.

The inline line object in the header is offset in facing pages. How can I make it align with the outer margin?

I have a Pages document with a header that contains both text and a line (a shape, inline) below the text. When I make the document two-sided (facing pages), with a 1" inside margin and a .75" outside margin, the line offsets either left or right in each section of the document. When a section starts with a right-hand page, the line is right justified on ALL the pages in the section (1" from the left and .75" from the right), even though it should be .75" from the LEFT on the LEFT-HAND pages. When a section starts with a left-hand page, the line is left justified on ALL the pages in the section.
Is there any way to get the header line to align with the margins properly in facing pages?

Hi Debra,
Click on Inspector > Layout > Section > Configuration
Is there a tick in 'Left and right pages are different'?
Please post a screen shot of your headers. That will help to show what you are trying to achieve.
To take a screen shot, hold down the shift and command keys, then type 4. The cursor will change to crosshairs. Release the shift and command keys. Drag over that part of your screen then release the mouse/trackpad. A screen shot will appear on your desktop. In a reply to a message, click on the camera icon in the Toolbar above your reply and
Choose File > Choose > Insert Image
You may have to try this twice. Camera icon sometimes needs a wake-up call, but works the second time.
Remove any personal details before taking the screen shot.
Regards,
Ian.

How do I deal with flat out lie in an app review in another country?

I just found out how to see reviews from other countries. So I picked Canada first and looked at one of my apps. There is one review - 1 star. The person claims I stole pictures from Flickr and used them in my app. This is flat out untrue.
I have one image in my app and I took it myself while on vacation, ironically while in Canada.
Since I live in the USA I can't log into the Canadian store and "Report A Concern" with the review.
Any idea on how to resolve this?
Anyone in Canada care to post a counter "review" clearing up the situation for me?
Ugh.

To answer the general point rather than the specific question: this is a very good example why it's better not to read one's reviews! As we all know, the only qualification for writing a review is having a credit card with a billing address in the country in question. Anyone who uses the App Store will quite quickly realise that (a) the quality of the reviews is variable and (b) if someone genuinely had an issue of this type then he'd communicate directly with the publisher or with Apple rather than posting a pathetic one-star whinge.
In general I think we might all benefit if we all, as App Store developers, said something like the following in our product descriptions:
1. We do not read or comment on our App Store reviews.
2. We provide a public space where you can post comments and support requests, at http://xxxxxxxxxxx. We read every posting and respond to it in public.
This will not stop nutters from posting weird reviews, but it will make the readers of those reviews think: "if this is a problem, why didn't he post it in the publisher's comment space?" and consequently pay less attention to what the nutters say.
To focus a little closer in to this particular case: it's worth remembering that we are not politicians. Politicians are always anxious that any error or misrepresentation should be corrected "for the record". It seems comic sometimes but for them it's necessary, or someone will dig it out years later and say "well, if it isn't true that you said/did/thought this, +why didn't you say so at the time?"+ But we aren't politicians, and it's a lot easier for us just to leave a lot of stuff alone as being beneath contempt. I've also had reviews that claim the exact opposite of the truth (I know because people have told me about them) but in the end they're best ignored.
The review in question is pretty innocuous commercially, I don't think it would make anyone less likely to buy the application.
As for your own reputation: if you don't like Apple publishing accusations of theft against you, there is a law of libel and it is there for this purpose. Use it. Get the address of Apple's legal department and write to them. Invite them very politely to take down the offending material or publish a rebuttal. It will cost them a lot more to defend the case than it will to take down the review. I once found some stolen IP being offered through an Apple online store, and after a friendly conversation with Apple and one email, it was taken down within days.
