Image box disappears only when timeline is scrubbed

I added an image box that covers the screen on top of the
"slide" layer.
This image should only appear in the first 5 seconds and fade
away. It does
it correctly in the movie, but in timeline edit mode, the
only way it
disappears is when I'm scrubbing the timeline. As soon as I
release the
mouse, it image is back on top.
Any thoughts?

sort of...
It's kind of a backwards way to display information,
especially after using
premier, final cut, flash etc... where the item is displayed
as it appears
on the timeline.
My work around was to delete the image and add it last.

  • Text/image boxes disappearing when printed to PDF [CS2, Win]

    Strange things are happening today: Text boxes and image boxes, perfectly visible in InDesign -- are completely disappearing when printed to PDF.
    The first time I printed, everything came out fine. Then after I moved some stuff around and reprinted, things disappeared.
    Any insight would be much appreciated.

    Yes, that worked. Thanks!
    Any idea why this happened?

  • Video clip images have disappeared in the timeline

    Hi - I was working away on an event in FCPX when I noticed that the timeline no longer showed any of the clip images - just the sound waveforms.  The video is visible on the canvas, and can be edited, but there is just a segmented blue nothing where the clip images used to be.  This is a new one - anyone experienced this before, or have an idea what's causing it?
    Thanks!

    Thank you very much, Tom, for your very clear reply!  It worked using the Option-Command reset of preferences.  Interestingly, when I clicked on Close to shut down FCPX, this is what popped up. I have no idea what "background tasks" were being undertaken.  Although the app disappeared from the screen, it remained live in the dock and had to be force quit.  Do you think it's possible that some not-deliberately-invoked process removed the clip images, and if so, what it might be?  I can trip on a bare floor, but don't usually send an app off accidentally!

  • Paste image in box – Freehand only moves box, not image inside

    God bleeeees Freehand! I still stubbornly refuse to move to Illustrator, but...
    I'm now getting bugs on bugs - this has just started happening: I paste an image into an image box, but then when I move the box it's only the box that moves - the image stays in same place. This is making Freehand pretty much impossible to use.
    Any ideas? Heeeeeelp!

    It's not a bug. Contents of a clip path are controlled by the 'Contents' check box in the Transform panel.
    1. Open the transform panel.
    2. Select the move icon.
    3. Check the 'Contents' checkbox.
    Make sure that each transform function has the 'Contents' checked as you wish it to be treated.

  • How do I make a textured image appear only when the button is selected?

    I am trying to create a DVD menu that has a textured image (bulletholes) appear only when a button highlighted (ie, about to be selected).
    The only think I can work out is how to make the button appear as a sub-picture that has a solid colour appear on top of it when selected.
    In summary, here is what i am trying to achieve:
    1- there are 5 DVD menu items
    2 - the user can select any of those items
    3- as they move between each item, I want a I want a multi-coloured (textured) image to appear.
    I can not work this out.
    Any advice greatly appreciated.
    Richard.

    Thanks for this.  This is most surprising to hear!
    I have been using DVD Studio Pro for years and we have been able to do add textured or multicoloured buttons.
    Am I correct in understanding that in Encore, if a menu has 6 options, I need to create 6 different menus and import them all and use the auto activate state to make this work?
    Is there a workaround for making this work on a computer?

  • Dock and Menu disappear only for Safari

    My dock and menu disappear only when I am using Safari. They re-appear when I hover my mouse at the location that they should be at, but for some reason their default positions are to be hidden.
    The dock and menu are present for all other apps and when I'm on the desktop--basically whenever Safari isn't "chosen" as the active window.
    I have checked to make sure that Safari is NOT in Full Screen mode. What could be the problem?

    This has happened to me before and it took me a long time to work it out.
    But all you need to do is froce quit safari or any application that this is happening to and start the application again.
    Hope it works.

  • On fcp6 - all of a sudden my titles and images disappear when timeline stops. Can't edit or see titles.

    titles and stills work fine in playback, but disappear when timeline stops. Can't edit titles. Can't find how to bring things back. restarted FCP and Mac.

    Second image shows outline of title over background image.  All images are .jpg finished in Photoshop as I normally do.  They worked fine during the first half hour of editing.

  • HELP! - Things disappear from Indesign files!!! (images, boxes, lines, logos etc)

    Things disappear from my indesign files!!!!
    Images, boxes, lines logos, other design elemtents will be missing from a page when I open indesign. I restore the same file from time machine yesterday! and all the elements are on the page (it is fine).
    The only thing I have done to the file the morning is to copy and paste a line of text from excel on to a different page of the file.
    Please help!

    Hi P
    I have found another indesign file with the same problem!!!!
    Its a text box this time!
    Luckily its just a spread with a couple of words saying what needs to go on the spread when I come to design it.
    See below how it should look
    and how it looks now - with the 2 text boxes disappeared
    and here's the layers panel - a node appears in the centre of the spread when I click the item in the layers panel

  • Why are my Illustrator images getting thicker strokes when I take the bounding box and make them smaller?

    Why are my Illustrator images getting thicker strokes when I take the bounding box and make them smaller? This has never happened to me. I'm not an expert at Illustrator, but I do know some fundamentals.

    Thank you for responding so quickly. No apologies necessary - I know this Forum isn't McDonalds - don't expect an answer to be served up right away. You helped me out with a big issue yesterday.
    I am using a mac - OSX 10.7.5
    I have Adobe Creative Suites - CS5 - Illustrator version is 15.0.2
    The contents I am placing are all  Vector - Illustrator files
    But, I wonder about some of the vector files I work with.  Could a "line weight/thickness" be 'assigned' to the drawing and screw things up? I used 'simple' linear (line) drawings from SolidWorks that have been converted to ai files. It's just weird because I checked the stroke of the drawing and it's not out of line.
    I am attaching part of some box labels. You can see how the drawings, of the products, on the 'left side' are "thick" after embedding them. I think the "Global Logo" was pasted into a template not linked that's why it's okay. But look at the Quiet Thunder logo - it looks terrible. These labels are only 2.25" X 6.5", so its important I keep the images lightweight. 
    Your help is very much appreciated. Thank you!

  • Output preview works only when preview dialogue box is open?

    The output preview setting certainly takes effect, but only when the output preview dialogue box is open, so that accurately previewing images in reading mode is not possible; it's only possible to see a preview by going to an image and opening the OP dialogue box. As soon as the OP dialogue box is closed, the image reverts back to its pre-preview state. This can't be right!

    Thanks for your feedback. I had tried to navigate with the dialogue box open using the "hand", which didn't work; I see now that you can still go from page to page with the box open using either keyboard command or menu arrows.
    I was actually incorrect in referring to "reading mode"; I meant to say "full screen" mode. And again, since the cursor doesn't act as a cursor but rather as a pinpoint when the dialogue box is open, I incorrectly assumed that all navigation (including full screen mode) was disabled. This, I now see, is not the case.

  • Motion temporarily freezes when trying to scrub the timeline

    Hey guys,
    Having a couple of probs... firstly when I'm working in motion and I click up the top of the timeline to scrub through the video there is a delay of about 30 seconds before my computer responds. I'm running Motion 3.0.2 on a MacBook Pro. The timeline consists of a photoshop background, a photoshop foreground and a 3 minute music track. Any help on this would be great.
    Another thing that's happening and I'm not sure if they're related problems but the timeline will be playing back and then I try to click stop or anything in Motion and yet it continues to play. Same deal - about 30 seconds before I am able to control the timeline again. This also happens on my Dual 2Ghz G5.
    Any help would be greatly appreciated.
    Cheers,
    Phil

    can't say that I agree that it's a graphics card limitation
    You're a lucky guy to have that kind of muscle that runs on batteries. My mistake, I can see that now, thanks for clearing that up for me, won't forget it.
    I'm not using my G5 to do this either - it's my MacBook Pro.
    Your first post says "this" happens on both systems. Here, I shall quote it for you to save you the trouble of denying it and forcing me to call you silly names:
    Same deal - about 30 seconds before I am able to control the timeline again. This also happens on my Dual 2Ghz G5.
    must be something else.
    Yes, silly of me to try to debug this for you when I'm here and you're there. Too bad I can't really see what you're doing, isn't it? All I can do is tell you what I know from several years of struggling with Motion and reading hundreds of threads from hundreds of Motion users whose machines neither meet their expectations nor the promises of some sales dweeb. You can read them, too, just initiate a search of the forum for "slow as snot a cold doorknob." Motion's demands on system resources are weirdly nonlinear. I've seen posts complaining about glacial behavior on a wide variety of machines that make your setup and mine look truly pathetic.
    It's merely two graphics layers and a text layer (which isn't animated). The only thing I'm animating is a bouncing logo across the screen.
    Hmm, that's interesting, but "merely" may mean one thing to you and quite another to your machine. I was going to ask many relevant questions about these layers of yours but, heck, you don't need to tell me anything you don't want to.
    When it crashes it comes up with a message saying that it's a plugin that's causing the crash (even though I've got no 3rd party plugins installed). The problem is also intermittent.
    A "crash," you say? That's dreadful. Is this new? You didn't mention a crash in your first post. Here, I'll quote it for you:

    Yep. A bit inconclusive and even you'd have to admit your explanation is clear as mud. You didn't say much at all that could actually be of any value in tracking down your problem from where I sit. but you can always start with the easy stuff. it's often a good place to start, being easy and all. Try turning off one layer at a time and see...-- oh, nevermind, I've already made that suggestion but you knew you didn't need to try it. Perceptive and shows a deep connection with your system. I bow.
    I've exhausted all of my experience, Phil, and I can't write biting sarcasm like this all night, too old. So it's up to you. Make a long list of all the things you know it's not and you'll be left with what it is.
    Hope you get it figured out. When you do, please let us know what it was and how you fixed it.

  • How can I stop my pointer [arrow, finger, etc.] from blinking/disappearing [= shows only when I move it, disappears when still]?

    This happens ONLY in Firefox [= it behaves normally in all other programs]. It does so irrespective of pointer options [e.g., enable shadow, enable trail, unhide when typing]. It may have started since the latest upgrade. Typing in this box, for instance, the pointer disappears when I am doing nothing, but appears momentarily when I type *each* letter (i.e., blinks). When I am doing something else & my pointer is elsewhere (e.g., moving the vertical bar, going to a Tab or new part of the screen), the pointer appears only when I move it, & disappears the rest of the time. This is VERY annoying -- and also means I do not know where by pointer is on the screen until I move it.

    Start Firefox in <u>[[Safe Mode]]</u> to check if one of the extensions is causing the problem (switch to the DEFAULT theme: Firefox (Tools) > Add-ons > Appearance/Themes).
    * Don't make any changes on the Safe mode start window.
    * https://support.mozilla.com/kb/Safe+Mode
    If it does work in Safe-mode then disable all extensions and then try to find which is causing it by enabling one at a time until the problem reappears.
    * Use "Disable all add-ons" on the [[Safe mode]] start window to disable all extensions.
    * Close and restart Firefox after each change via "File > Exit" (Mac: "Firefox > Quit"; Linux: "File > Quit")
    In Firefox 4 you can use one of these to start in <u>[[Safe mode]]</u>:
    * Help > Restart with Add-ons Disabled
    * Hold down the Shift key while double clicking the Firefox desktop shortcut (Windows)

  • Photoshop-When opening image without tab view, image opens with only a portion in view

    I having an issue with CC.
    When electing in the preferences to not open image in Tabs. The images open with only about 25% of the image area showing. Forcing me to (command) 0 for full to screen preview or (command) +/- to see the image.
    I am not talking about seeing the image at 100% resolution just the entire image within the floating window without having to command before view.
    Sidenote: Adobe Customer Service is all based in India. I spent 4 hours on the phone only to hear that this is that way photoshop works.
    There would be no logical explanation for this. Since the first version of Photoshop this has not been the case.
    I think this should be called view porn with wife in the room mode. Other than that I see no point.
    Can anyone help?
