I get a re-play effect in my footage after re-synching and moving footage around!!!
On the Timeline I moved some footage around and re-synched some sound and image, now when I play back in some parts of the film I see repeats of shots that are not there (like a re-play effect) and a few jitters? any ideas will be much appreciated. FCP 7.0.3 footage is a mix of Prores and XDCAM
If it's a FCP 7 question, you need the Final Cut Studio forum. The way they rearranged the forums with the introduction of FCP X has people confused what forum to post to.

I desperately need your help. I was working on iMovie last night when the thing froze up on me. I've tried rebooting. I've tried reinstalling the apps. No change. I can play some of the files- although I can't tell which ones will play until they magically appear. I can't get into the project library or the event library. The bar that lets me scroll through the clips is gone. Even when I can get something to play the whole system crashes after a couple of minutes and generates a "problem report" that says "iMovie Quit Unexpectedly". This all started when I was adding cutaways- and one clip just would not load. After I tried several times everything froze up. Have you ever heard of something like this? Maybe I pushed a button or somehow changed a setting? Maybe some of the video is corrupt? What do you recommend?
Thanks for any advice you can offer!I have tried all the above and nothing seems to work. Any other suggestions?

If changing your password does not work, then contact itunes support.

I had bought two Network Drives so I could watch my own movies anywhere in my house and clear up the clutter of all the DVDs, Blurays and CDs, Works greate with the PS3, Bought the Apple TV version 3 because it was smaller and resently bought the IPAD 3 and have the IPHONE 4S and other apple products.
My wish is to access my Network drives with the Apple TV - I have herd of Jailbreaking it (Not Avalible from where I can tell for the Version3) - but why didn't Apple ever think of accessing a Network drive and is their a work around for this? Should I just shutup and wait till Jail Breaking is avalible for the Version 3?.

I'm sure they did think of it, but quickly discarded the idea because of the horrendous user experience this causes. -

How can i get my sister's ipod back to normal after being stolen and used in a different itunes?
So my sister's ipod was stolen so i used the icloud find ipod app to turn it on lock mode, no problem. we got it back, but the person must have synched it with their itunes, because now it is called "ishmael's ipod" and it won't connect to itunes. my sister unlocked it with the passcode we set, but it told her to connect to itunes, but it won't connect to itunes unless we put in a passcode, but it doesnt bring up the thing to put the passcode in. How can i reboot it so it will connect again?
You can check by going to iTunes>Preferences>Devices (Edit>Preferences>Devices if using Windows) and checking the backup list. If the data on the phone now isn't yours, then you'll need to use and existing backup to recover your data and settings.
Your best bet is to connect it to your computer, open iTunes, click on the name of the phone in iTunes, go to the Summary tab and click Restore. If iTunes won't let you do this, then force it into recovery mode to restore it, as explained here: http://support.apple.com/kb/ht1808.
After it restores, it will restart and reappear in iTunes. You will then get a screen giving you the option to restore ir from backup. Choose this option, then select your iTunes backup to restore to. -
i have outlook accounts. sometimes it works properly. sometime i get repeat download on one account, sometimes two or rarely three. this is new within the past few weeks. i run win8.1 up to date. thunderbird is up to date. i have made no configuration changes on my thunderbird settings. this is driving me crazy. i use norton internet security. i tried turning off email scanning. made no difference. it seems that the only sure way is to empty my trash, which i like to delay. sometimes i don't have to empty the trash...
i continue to have this problem and it is driving me nuts. i get the same messages repeated. somehow there is a failure in communication between TB and my outlook account. everything seems to be configured appropriately.
your suggestion to uninstall TB and do a new install seems wise. i don't want to lose any saved messages, etc. is there an easy way to backup the TB data? -

How do you get 32-bit float effects to work with an alpha channel?
I make a few bugs and lower thirds, but I'm having a lot of trouble getting 32-bit float effects to correctly export with transparency.
When I make semitransparent animations with bright lighting effects, they look great in AE but I can't seem to find any way to bring them over to Final Cut and get them to look like they should.
I've attached this example of a bug with a screenshot from AE on the left and from FCP on the right. The colors dim and the vibrant blue gradients get flattened into a dull greenish color.
So far as I can tell, all my alpha and color management settings are correct. I've tried endless settings options and codec options to try to fix this, to no avail.
You can create an extreme case as an example by creating a semitransparent shape, cranking the color way up to a saturated superwhite color, and moving it around with motion blur. The render looks pretty much just like a 8/16 bit render, and nothing like it did in your canvas.
I have a feeling the way AE multiplies the superwhite color values with the alpha channel gets "lost in translation" when it is rendered to 4 8-bit channels. Is there any way to get it to look the way it does in the canvas?
Thanks,
ClintThanks so much for your ideas. I'd already tried experimenting with a number of color management options, including 'Preserve RGB' and turning off 'Convert to Linear Light' but they didn't fix it. I had also already tried using the "None" option from the codec menu.
I pulled it back into AE, and it looks the same as it did in FCP.
I'm starting to think the issue has something to do with AE rendering to a file differently than the way it renders to the canvas. For example, here's a fast moving 50% opaque superwhite shape in the AE canvas:
I rendered this using Animation + Alpha using Best settings and 32-bit float, and reimported it into AE:
I think the answer may lie in the fact that the first image looks solid white in some places, even though it is 50% transparent. It's almost like the excessive RGB values "bleed" over to the alpha channel. The rendered image (probably correctly) looks grey because it represents white at 50% opacity.
What I want to do though, is find a way to make my render look like my canvas. So it seems I need to do two things to the image:
1. Find a way to increase opacity in areas of excessive white, so that they are not grey in the render.
2. Find a way to "bake" the superwhite colors to a level below 100% white so that they show up in the render.
I tried the "Alpha from Max Color" effect and this seems to get kind of close, but unfortunately it discards other parts of the alpha channel (like drop shadows).
It might also be helpful to know that when I have AE output to an external NTSC monitor (via Intensity card) the monitor shows the exact same artifacts as the render. -
CS4 After Effects no longer loading after installing Office 08
During the christmas break I installed Office 08 and its seamed to have mucked something up in CS4 After effects because it won't load anymore, the program starts loading the libraries and all that stuff at the splash screen and crashes when loading User interface
After effects worked fine before I installed office 08. Does anyone know what has happened and how to fix it? The strange thing is, it works on a couple of macs but the majority of the lab is having this problem.
I have tried heaps of things:
- Totally uninstalled office 08 and its preferences
- Uninstall CS4 and manually remove all the preference files
- Locate the fonts folders and comparing the fonts with that of a working mac
- Creating a new login account
- Updated to After effects 9.0.2
After spending hours and hours and hours doing this, I have had no luck solving the issue. Help will be greatly appreciated... I will backup all the data and re-install Leopard next week if no-one knows how to fix this.

After Effects loads any such component that QuickTime makes available (they appear under the File > Export menu).
First, try deleting the com.macromedia.FLVExporter in your [username]/Library/Preferences folder, if present. Failing that, pull out the FLV QuickTime component I described above.
It is also theoretically possible that the failure is in the next component in the QuickTime components folder, not the FLV component. You might could just pull out the entire contents of that folder and see what happens.

Hi. I have the Apple connector kit...and actually played Garageband via my M-Audio Oxygen 25-keyboard thru my iPad2--without a powered hub.
But that was two month ago.
Now...I can't get it to play--with volume. I can hear the notes...but faintly. And I have pushed ALL possible volume controls up (Keyboard & iPad).
I know the keyboard is triggering, because I tested it on a MacBook: got full volume, just like before.
But just can't get full volume from the iPad2. I got a 4-port USB hub...and tried interfacing it between the keyboard and the connector kit/iPad2. But still no volume. It's almost like a switch is off in the iPad???
Any help would be appreciated. Danhello again,
i didn't really dare to delete the blue home folders before, just in case everything went wrong, but now i think i have so little space that i can't afford to lose 2.25gb!
one thing that slightly worries me is the fact that the 'proper' library folder (in the home icon) is 2.09gb, whereas the 'wrong' one (from the blue folder forenamesurname) is 2.24gb - this is the one i would be deleting. just seems odd to delete a larger file than the one i presume i'm using.
"Move everything you want to keep out of the blue folders, and then place both of the folders on your desktop. If everything works properly after a few days, delete both folders. If you are asked for your administrator password at any point or if either folder is copied instead of moved when dragged, don't delete that folder."
by 'everything you want to keep', does this include the library folder? 'cause there doesn't seem to be much else, and i'm not sure if deleting the library folder would ruin all my preferences.
i've put both of the folders on the desktop, it didn't ask for the admin password or try to copy them, so i guess that's good news. what kind of things should i be looking out for to act differently?
are the folders not in use now that they are on the desktop?
also if i put them in the trash will they have no effect? i.e. the same as permanently deleting them, so i could put them in the trash as a test.
cheers, stephen. -
Avoid showing of a canvas in TabNavigator while playing effect?
Hello,
I´m using the great distorsion effect of Alex Uhlmann (part of Tour de Flex) in a TabNavigator with Canvas containers. The effect works fine but while fireing the IndexChangedEvent by pressing a tabsheet for a blink of an eye the target-canvas gets visible before the effect should make it visible which is very annoying.
As you can see in the Code-Snippet
The function playrotate() which is called in the EventHandler only set the right parameters for the CubeRotator method, which create an effectinstance and playing the effect.
public
function ChangeListener(e:IndexChangedEvent):void{oldI = e.oldIndex;
newI = e.newIndex;
playrotate();
private function CubeRotator(DC:String, oldI:int, newI:int):void{
var cr:CubeRotate = newCubeRotate( navtab.getChildAt(oldI) );cr.siblings = [ navtab.getChildAt(newI) ];
if( DC == DistortionConstants.LEFT ){cr.direction = DistortionConstants.LEFT;
else{cr.direction = DistortionConstants.RIGHT;
cr.horizontalLightingLocation = DistortionConstants.LEFT;
cr.duration = 1000;
cr.distortion = 40;
cr.play();
If somebody has an idea how to avoid this behaviour it would be great.
Thanks to everybody answeringWell for what it's worth...
I agree that it's a bad idea using a canvas like that.

Listbox has a scrollbar for zero effort and there's no messing about working out all the positioning of each control.
Because editrow is a contentcontrol you can put any old control in it - textbox, passwordbox.... whatever you like.
Hope that helps.

When I stream a movie via Apple TV from my iPad Air into my Samsung TV, I'm getting the "soap opera" effect. This only happens when I use Apple TV, not when I view a movie directly through a cable channel. Is there a way to eliminate this effect?
I'm having the same problem. It's not an issue with my TV, i've turned this feature off. I've tried playing with the ATV display settings but nothing works. When I stream netflix from my Samsung bluray player, I don't get the soap opera effect, but when I stream any video from the ATV, the soap opera effect is there. I'm thinking it's a choice that Apple made, but I really wish it could be turned off. Not a lot of people are searching for this, because it can be easy to overlook, but it's driving me nuts!

Getting video to play on my site
I am trying to get video to play on my site in a way that
will not require the user to download flash payers or shockwave
players or anything like that. So far all I am doing is dragging
and dropping an .mpg file into a cell and letting it play on the
site in windows media format. This is all fine but I would also
like to have buttons to the right of the video that when clicked
will change the video to another clip. How can I get button to
change the video and is the method I am using a good one or is
there a better (nicer looking, more user friendly) way of achieving
this effect?Thanks to all for your assistance. My problem was solved by going to http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?artnum=302828 This link was provided to me by someone on these discussion boards. Thanks to everyone for their help!
Happy 2008!! Problem solved!
