Image flickering when animating scale

Hi,
Firstly i use flash 8.
I animate a jpeg growing bigger, and its a large image over
1600x1200. It flickers. Is there a way to prevent that?

I'd say that has to do with your render settings in Motion and FCP. Without looking at them, I can't say for sure, but here's some things to be aware of.
In MOTION:
You can increase the quality by rendering in 16-bit, or even 32-bit.
There are 3 render settings: Draft, Normal, Best. Default is usually set to Normal.
Field rendering in Motion can produce poor results with progressive frame footage. Frame blending also.
IN FCP:
If your sequence settings are set to High Precision YUV, then that means FCP is using floating bit math for the render.
It's possible that the Motion settings are set low, and the FCP settings are set high.

Image flickers when repainting

Hello,
I'm trying to make an applet where a line moves sideways as the slider is moved. The code below is working but the image flickers when repainting:
import java.awt.Graphics;
import java.awt.Color;
import java.awt.Scrollbar;
import java.awt.event.*;
public class testSlider extends java.applet.Applet implements AdjustmentListener {
int w, h; // Applet width and height
Scrollbar sb;
boolean scrollChanged = false;
int xUnit, yUnit;
public void init(){
    //field variables initialization
    w = this.getSize().width ;
    h = this.getSize().height ;
    xUnit = (int) Math.round(0.1*w);
    yUnit = (int) Math.round(0.1*h);
    sb = new Scrollbar(Scrollbar.HORIZONTAL, xUnit, 1, xUnit, 9*xUnit);
    //add Scrollbar
    sb.setBounds(5, 9*yUnit,this.getWidth() -15, 15) ;
    this.setLayout(null);
    this.add(sb);
    sb.addAdjustmentListener(this ) ;
public void paint(Graphics g){
    System.out.println("paint...") ;
    g.setColor(Color.GRAY ) ;
    g.fillRect(0,0,w, h);
    g.setColor(Color.BLACK) ;
    //set new Origin
    g.translate(w/2, 8*yUnit) ;
    if (scrollChanged ) {
      g.setColor(Color.YELLOW ) ;
      g.drawLine(sb.getValue()-w/2, -7*yUnit, sb.getValue()-w/2, 0 );
//AdjustmentListener method override
public void adjustmentValueChanged(AdjustmentEvent e){
    scrollChanged=true;
    repaint();
Can someone tell me how to prevent this flickering?
Thank you very much.

g.fillRect(0,0,w, h);This needs to modify quite a few pixels so it is going to be on the slow side.
Try this: store the coordinates of the previous line you drew. When repainting, if you have drawn a line previously, first draw the old line with the background color, then draw the new line, and finally store the coordinates of the new line so you can paint over it later.
I haven't tried that myself though.
An alternate is to use double buffering. Google: java double buffering. But that may be slowish and CPU intensive because that too needs to touch a lot of pixels.

How do I stop images flickering when zooming in?

I've imported a 32bit jpeg into Director MX. I'm trying to
slowly zoom into the image, to create a slow Ken Burns style zoom
effect. When I play my movie, the image is flickering and the zoom
does not appear smooth. Does anybody know a way around this? Maybe
I'm doing something wrong...
Any help greatly appreciated! Thanks.

How are you performing this zoom? Are you using keyframes
across the
score, or using Lingo?
If you are using the score, then you may want to try
different frame
rates, to see if you can smooth out the animation. You may
also be
seeing a problem with the refresh rate of your monitor.
If you are using Lingo, then you might try changing the
amount of image
size change at each step, and/or changing the frame rate to
smooth out
the animation.

Add ease in/out to curves when animating scale?

Im trying to animate the scale and position of a clip to go from full screen to the top corner. The position keys seem to have an automatic ease in and ease out to their curves. Scale seems dead linear. Needless to say the finished effect looks awful. The Video Animation editor doesnt appear to allow me to access the curves for transform. This is ridiculous! Am I doing something wrong? Anyone know of a workaround?
Thanks,
Andy

Yes, it should be more flexible. But all is not lost.
You just have to add a few more keyframes along the way to get a more nuanced variation. Not as elegant nor as easy as handling some Bezier curve, for sure. But you don't have to resign to setting one keyframe at the beginning and one at the end and let FCP X scale linearly.

Is there a Preserve Image Dimension when Relinking Setting in Framemaker 9?

Hi,
I am using Framemaker 9 (structured Frame) and would like to know if there is a setting (similar to InDesign) that preserves image dimensions when relinking. In InDesign, you can turn this setting off so that the updated linked graphic will not scale or move in the document. Does Framemaker have a similar setting? We use Illustrator CS3 to create graphics. These graphics are then saved to Adobe Acrobat X Pro PDF files. I Import by Reference the PDF file using the Grahic element in Structured Framemaker. If I make any changes to the graphic file in Illustrator, the graphic that was imported into the Framemaker document shifts inside the anchored frame and then I have to recenter all the updated graphics in Framemaker. Is there a setting in Framemaker that will allow me to update a graphic file in Illustrator without having to recenter it in Framemaker?
I currently have the following File Handling & Clipboard options selected in Illustrator:
Copy AS:
-PDF
-AICB (no transparency suuport)
-Preserve Appearance and OverPrints
But, these settings do not seem to help much for the imported graphic files in Framemaker.
I appreciate any information you can provide.
Thank you for your help.

*** haven't checked, because I don't have any pre-9.0 files easily available *** ... but from what I remember, if you're really just viewing the files in 9.0 you should need to save them explicitly back to an earlier version. FM may mark the files as "changed" when it opens them, but that's because it checks things like datestamps and cross-references. If you do not, yourself, explicitly change any content in the file you have opened, you don't need to save the changes; just close the file unsaved. Check my supposition with a couple of files before relying on it! And other people will be able to give you a more detailed explanation of why file you haven't touched yourself still show up as "changed".

DVD Slideshow Images Flickering

I was a Window user. Now I am a new MAC user. I bought iMac mainly to do slideshows and video. I heard that MAC is great for slideshows and videos. iLife is great. But.. There is always a but. This is a big BUT and I sincerely hope that going to MAC is not a disappointment. Here goes.
The slideshows in iPhoto 08 and iDVD 08 are great but after burning into DVD the images flickers.
Some part of the picture flickers not the whole picture. Even the add on text on the picture flickers.
In Windows I used Ulead Movie Factory, it had the same problem until Ulead implemented Anti Flicker option. Selecting this option makes the DVD pictures perfectly still like viewing your photos on the computer.
Is there an Anti Flicker setting in iDVD or iPhoto?
I am not producing DVD slideshow at the moment until I can find a solution as this flickering thingy is infuriating. A still picture must be still and not flickering on certain part of the picture/image. Railway tracks flickers madly, leaves on a tree flickers, blinds flickers, the face flickers, etc
Please helppppppp. Frustrated. I cannot go back to Windows and I do not want to. I am sure others must have this problem too. I pray that I have done something wrong else there won't be a solution until Apple can fix it. Prayyyy
Thanks. Sorry for being so long winded.

Guys,
I am back. Sorry for taking so long. My wife has been grumbling about me spending so much time on the computer, blah, blah..
Again thank you all for all the suggestions. I have look at Photo to Movie tutorial. It is pretty good but I think Fotomagico is better. Yet to try it. Soon I hope.
As what Howard Topoff said, Ken Burns causes the Flickering and he is correct. I created a slideshow in iPhoto without Kenburns and send to iDVD. There are no flickers what so ever. The quality I got is as per Ulead DVD Movie Factory. Now, at least I am getting the same quality as before. I expect it to be better but hey... It is really a pity as I like Ken Burns a lot.
One thing maybe you guys can explain. iPhoto send to iDVD(not exporting) by creating a QT movie. I dragged the QT movie to Toast which has the option to tell you what type of file it is. Toast reported that the QT movie file is MPEG 4 video, 720x540 AND 13.5 fps. I would expect the fps will be around 25 or 30. Shouldn't iPhoto be sending out as high quality as possible so that iDVD will be able to recode it to suit PAL or NTSC? Unbelievable.
It is silly for iPhoto export option which can only export the biggest is large 640x480 and iDVD will have to recode it to 720 x 576 for PAL TV.
I have started to learn iMovie. iMovie has at least the option to set what QT quality is required when I Export Using Quicktime option. I can set whether it is PAL/NTSC/H.264,etc., frame rate, progressive or interlace, aspect ratio, etc. iPhoto has none of these. Is this an Apple oversight? I am doubtful.
Hey, rightly or wrongly, I am beginning to be a sceptic when it comes to Apple's intentions as those things that are missing are basics that should be part of the software.
Hopefully in a few days time, I can post more, not if my wife can help it. Nag, nag, nag.
F Shippey, PAL is 720 x 576. I will try a few photos by resizing as per your suggestions but first I would like to look at iMovie.
Cheers.

Image flickering

I'm using a different thread to create an animation in which image moves one pixel at a time after every 80 milliseconds or so.but the image flickers every time it is drawn at new coordinates.
can anybody help me out.
thanks in advance

You aren't using double buffering and overriding update(), are you?

Image pixelates when published

Hey -
Rather new to all this, but I'm trying to cut out a circular
logo sent to me in a pdf, shrink it, and put it on my web page.
now, i can do all this, but when i put the image on the page with
dreamweaver, there is a definite loss of quality. I've been copying
the image into FW, using the Oval Marquee tool to cut out just the
circular logo, resizing the circle so it's a bit smaller, exporting
it by way of animated .gif and then putting it on the site with
dreamweaver. And although it looks crisp in FW image preview, when
it gets into DW it becomes pixelated and doesn't look very
professional. Does it have to do with the shrinking, or the way i'm
saving it, or what? any help appreciated.

Why are you saving it as an animated gif? Can you upload it
to your Web
site so we can see it?

Why does tooltip-called image flicker when it is over the trigger?

Using a tooltip to present an image works fine when the resulting image stays away from the trigger location, e.g. offset down and to the right. If the image is nearly full-screen, it covers the trigger location and flickers rapidly, occasionally setting after a while, but only for a moment. Same for a small text box, if the trigger is near bottom-right on the screen, causing the tooltip content to display over the trigger site. Any ideas to stabilize the image/text when over the trigger?

Remove the dimensions in the following
<div class="tooltipContent" id="sprytooltip11"> <img src="pix/1-pp-all-490x480.jpg" width="850" height="750" /></div>

Since installing the new update videos keep on flickering when I stream them. How can I fix this?

Ever since I updated Firefox the videos I watch keep on flickering when I stream this. It is true of youtube, and other mediums. This is not a problem when I watch videos on Safari or Internet Explorer. I have uninstalled and reinstalled firefox to no success and restarting my computer has not helped either.

Hello, if the Flash player is not up to date, please update it, aslo:
Some problems with Flash video playback can be resolved by disabling hardware acceleration in your Flash Player settings. (See [[Flash Plugin - Keep it up to date and troubleshoot problems|this article]] for more information on using the Flash plugin in Firefox).
To disable hardware acceleration in Flash Player:
#Go to this [http://helpx.adobe.com/flash-player/kb/video-playback-issues.html#main_Solve_video_playback_issues Adobe Flash Player Help page].
#Right-click on the Flash Player logo on that page.
#Click on '''Settings''' in the context menu. The Adobe Flash Player Settings screen will open.
# Click on the icon at the bottom-left of the Adobe Flash Player Settings window to open the Display panel. <br/> <br/>[[Image:fpSettings1.PNG]] <br/>
# Remove the check mark from '''Enable hardware acceleration'''.
# Click '''Close''' to close the Adobe Flash Player Settings Window.
# Restart Firefox.
This [http://www.macromedia.com/support/documentation/en/flashplayer/help/help01.html Flash Player Help - Display Settings page] has more information on Flash Player hardware acceleration, if you're interested.
Does this solve the problem? Let us know.

Parts of image flickers on photos

Parts of an image flickers on photos after burning dvd. I made a Movie using imovie 08 with 2mp photos. Used ken burns effect. Some vertical and horizontal lines may flicker, e.g. roof tops, railings, etc. Not all photos have this result. Do not notice it when viewing full screen on imovie where I made the movie. Is this the old dot crawl problem or a refresh rate issue? I used pinnacle ultimate on an old pc and did not have this issue on the final dvd product.

That flicker is common with the Ken Burns effect. Importing your photos in with the Ken Burns effect turned on seems to help a bit, but won't totally get rid of it. Usually you notice it more on the iMovie preview playback than on the final product, which, however, does not seem to be your case. I can't recall offhand the tech explanation, but someone on this formum can tell you that.
On the Apple website you can buy Photo to Movie, which is an app that purportedly has a smooth Ken Burns type zooming effect together with a lot of other good slide show effects. Photomaggico is another good plug-in app. Both work well with iMovie.

Is there any options/addons for selecting/changing image size when viewing images?

When clicking to open images when on web pages there is no option to select size.
I'm looking at some pages that have images (mostly jpg) I like to compare and that is very hard when all images open in a size that normally fill most of the browser window.
So I wonder if there is some hidden options or addons for selecting image size when opening images for viewing?
I have tried Image resizer/scaler, image zoom and show picture with mix results. Image resizer/scaler and image zoom allow resizing of images, but when opening images on same tab as web page the white image "frame" that is visible when reducing image size is left in original size. This make viewing and opening other pages a hazard.
I'm grateful for any help...cheers :-)

hehe no offense, but I'm not following the version rushing from Mozilla. I'm using many customizations and addons and it is a nightmare to change to a new version and practically impossible to use last version. Also the FIrefox history have shown that earlier versions have both been more stable and had better implementation of features.
Spending hours customizing and finding out that addons dont work with new version every time Firefox come with a new version , no thanks. For that to happen Firefox have to be more compatible across versions and more friendly toward customization in updates and new versions. I have used Firefox for at least 8-9 years with practically no security problems and one thing I have learned is: dont update or install next version if the version I have is working well.
Maybe I should have mentioned this in this question, that Im using v26 and that my FIrefox is heavily modified with addons and customizations.
'''Back to the subject'''
Anyway I dont think any of my customizations or addons should create a white frame behind images, but I'm asking to find out if you guys also get this white frame when resizing pictures to a smaller size after clicking images for viewing.

Cropping at same size and with aligned images (and/or at scale)

hi all. i am hoping for a little help as i tune up my photoshop usage.
i am finding that i sometimes have a need to crop a couple of images from something like an architectural line drawing. this means that i have lines in this drawing and i am oftentimes in need - for instance if i have copied two floor plan with one above the other - of having these images sit in a frame that is the SAME SIZE.
i am also in the need of cropping so that the resulting images are ALIGNED - with for instance one line in one image at the same spot at the bottom and to the left with the same amount of bleed area around the image both at this point and at all other points.
is there a way to crop an image in two different spots at the SAME SIZE?
is there a way to crop a "sloppy" copy of two sets of images so that the canvas is the same size but the resulting set of images are aligned in the manner described above?
ALSO, is there some way for me to SCALE a set of images in Photoshop?
thanks in advance for any links, advice, expertise etcetera.
- jon

hi jjm.
i think i threw something in that should have been separated into antother posting. i am not so concerned about the scaling question.
i am more concerned about being able to get two separate sets of images - with for instance a line drawing - out of another drawing so that i have two images that when placed in a document will have the same size and the same amount of bleed area in white around it.
i guess in thinking about this - that i would just copy and paste each image to a new document, CROP as close to the image as possible and then ENLARGE THE CANVAS SIZE to whatever size i wanted. this would then meant that the image had almost the same placement in the canvas since i CROPPED the two images as close as possible and then enlarged to suit.
but this seems like it only would work for images with white backgrounds or single color backgrounds in a way somehow.
i mean, is there a way to place a COPY box on a very large image with a set of other images in it and Copy two sets of images to new documents so that they are the same size? or i mean a more accurate way to COPY information out of a document? what about making sure that an image is placed correctly in a CANVAS?
it seems like i would be asking for a tool that would let me select a point on the image and to tell photoshop to give me this image (or each image in this case) a CANVAS of some size or a CANVAS with some BORDER /around/ the rest of the image of some measurement.
is there anything like this? something more accurate for copying information so that i can repeat the copy and something more accurate for CUT or Canvas so that i can place an image in the final file more accurately?
i always sort of wing it with this and have to do Canvas sizes freehand or CUT the image close and then enlarge the canvas and this seems rather imprecise...
THANKS
