Image Matte Keys' still images not being memorized

I have a video of the issue.
Video is 4 min.
Hello,
I am working on an experimental video project using a lot of image matte keys. Premiere CS5 has trouble memorizing the still images in the image matte keys. The keys fail to associate with the correct images.
The images are in Jpeg format. They share the same spec (res, pixel ratio, ect) as the sequence in Premiere. All media are stored on a 2TB Lacie external hdd using esata cable connection to the pc.
I am using this laptop to edit the project:

Thanks in advance.

It's a weird bug with JPEG images.  Re-save all of your JPEGs in Photoshop, then they will always link to the correct image in your Pr project.  You can create an action in Ps to do that automatically.  You don't have to change the images at all, you just have to re-save them.

  • Can't get Image Matte Key to work in PP CS6 Mac

    Hi,
    After tearing my hair and muttering adult phrases for a couple of hours while following the below instructions from the PP CS6 pdf manual, I still can't get anything but a black screen when trying to apply the Image Matte Key to a simple set-up. The project is in HD 1080p50 format and the basic editing has been largely problem free.
    Add the clip (used as a background) to a video track in a Timeline panel.
    Add the clip you want to superimpose to any track higher than the track containing the background clip. This is the clip revealed by the track matte. Be sure the superimposed clip overlaps the background clip in a Timeline panel.
    In the Effects panel, click the triangle to expand the Video Effects bin and then click the triangle to expand the Keying bin.
    Drag the Image Matte Key to the superimposed clip in a Timeline panel.
    In a Timeline panel, select the superimposed clip.
    In the Effect Controls panel, click the triangle to expand the Image Matte Key settings.
    Click the Setup button , browse to the image being used as the matte, and then click Open to select the image.
    (Optional) If you’re animating the Image Matte Key over time, make sure that the current-time indicator is in the position you want. Click the Toggle Animation icons for the settings you adjust.
    Click the Composite Using menu and choose one of the following:
    Matte Alpha Composites the clips using the alpha channel values of the image matte you selected in step 7. Matte Luma Composites the clips using the luminance values of the image matte you selected in step 7.
    What I do is:
    • I have a clip on Video 1. I want to use a hand painted luma matte made in PS CS6 for changing levels ('exposure') in an irregular area of the clip.
    • So,  I duplicate the clip on Video 2 and add an 'RGB Curves' fx for the level adjustment.
    • Then, I add the Image Matte Key to the Video 2 clip and set up the Photoshop b/w image (RGB 8 bit, 1920x1080) from my external eSATA disk containing the Project and media (step 7 above).
    • I select 'Matte Luma' (step 9) – and expect the relevant part (painted white on the matte .psd pic) of the duplicated, level adjusted clip to be superimposed on the Video 1 clip.
    • But I only get BLACK!
    I tried using Track Matte Key, with the matte pic on Video 3 – no problem, worked just as expected.
    So, what's the voodoo with Image Matte Key?
    Kind regards,
    Joachim

    Ann, Steven, Bill,
    Thank you very much for your encouragement and duplication work! Truly appreciated.
    This morning, with some fresh energy, I attacked the problem afresh and finally found the culprit(s).
    It turned out that the major problem was the Photoshop file I originally prepared as a test matte. I created the original psd through the PP File menu to automatically get the correct dimensions. For some reason, it may have got corrupted. When it didn't work and just resulted in a black image, I used it as a template, changed it and resaved it. Apparently the problem was inherited to the resaved psd:s, even though they worked fine when imported into the project and used as mattes with Track Matte.
    Go figure…
    Anyway, today I created a brand new matte file in PS CS6 and, lo and behold, Image Matte Key now worked as expected!
    Almost…
    Going back to PS, I edited my simple matte (just two black rectangles on white) and applied a rather heavy blur. I then saved (not Save as…), deleted Image Matte Key from my fx stack in PP, reinstantiated Image Matte Key and set it up with the now resaved psd.
    No blur!
    I then went back to PS, resaved my blurred matte file with a new file name and repeated the above exercise – first deleting and then reapplying Image Matte Key, setting it up with the new, blurred matte psd.
    Now I got a blurred keying effect.
    So, it seems that Image Matte Key won't 'see' a changed file – apparently it 'remembers' the first version of the file and refuses to accept the saved changes.
    I think that I've seen a post here somewhere about the same or similar problem with PP CS5 or 5.5.
    Anyway, I've learned a lot and again, thanks to you guys who chipped in!
    Kind regards,
    Joachim

  • Image matte key: batch processing possible?

    Hello again,
    I have a question concerning batch processing with Premiere Pro CS5.5.
    I would like to apply an image matte key to about 30 videos. The matte doesnt change, neither does the background photo.
    I would like to know if there's a way to apply this to all the videos at the same time.
    I have only been able to apply it to one video at a time, which means that I would have to do the same process 30 times. Because I have about 12 sets of background photos, I would have to do it about 360 times in the end. So batch processing would really help...
    I need the videos to be seperate in the end (360 videos).
    I hope someone has a solution for me. Thanks a lot in advance!!!

    Check to see if this works:
    Create and Import your Matte into PrPro. Place it on the desired Video Track, and then extend its Duration for all Clips on that Timeline. Apply the Track Matte Keying to the first Clip, and make the attributes adjustments to it. Rt-click that Clip, and choose Copy. Then lasso all other Clips in that Track, Rt-click on them and choose Paste Attributes. Does that work?
    Good luck,
    Hunt
    PS - not sure if a Nested Sequence would also do what you want.

  • Changing the linked image for the Image Matte Key doesn't work

    When I change the linked image for the Image Matte Key in Photoshop, the link does not change in my Premiere Pro CS6. Sometimes it takes 2-3 times going into the Image Matte Key setting and locating the new matte in Explorer (each time having to re-locate the folder that the matte is in) to see it within the premier monitor. Any suggestions?

    Hi
    The commands work correctly here on the same OS etc: Cycle Locators jump to the next/prev marker and the Playhead jumps to the Start of the Marker.
    Default KC are Control Command +Arrow Left/right
    Step 1: check you are using the correct key command :-)

  • How to maintain high image quality of still images

    Hello,
    I have been creating flipbooks out of still images shot on a canon MK II. They are 8 mp files and look great blown up large in photoshop, however, once imported into iMovie through iPhoto and played as a sequence in rapid succession they seem to lose quality. They appear slightly compressed or otherwise a little pixelated. A get info on an individual frame says it is is less than 200 KB when the original file is 3 mb. Is there a setting I am missing or other technique for maintaining the images' high quality after being brought into this rapid slideshow? Should I be using final cut to achieve this type of high quality?
    thanks!

    The following works well. Save your images in photoshop as TIFF files, with a resolution of 1920 x 1080, 72 pixels per. Save to the desktop. Drag into imovie. Make sure your imovie is hd 1080i. Use the Ken Burns to expand the picture to fill the black spaces, if you so desire.
    At that point, you'll have a super high def show.
    Hope this helps.

  • Some keys still do not work on my Macbook Pro 13"

    i have a 13" macbook pro running OS Mavericks
    My laptop was on the bed and i found it with dog pee on the right side of the keyboard. i immediately cleaned the top of the keyboard and turned it upside down so liquid would come out. It was clean and the computer was still running so i thought everythings ok. i read 2 magazines and then tried to use my laptop again and noticed the keys were not functioning properly. i pressed several keys to test it and then turned it off. i lifted the laptop and noticed it was still wet underneath. i then felt liquid coming out of the right side. i turned the laptop on its right side so that i could force the liquid to come out. i pressed the power button and it didnt turn on. i attached the charger and noticed the battery was charging but the laptop would still not turn on. i opened the back casing. and saw liquid on top of battery, cd drive and hard drive. i wiped it and dried it with a hair drier. i also dried the keyboard but it would still not turn on.
    i waited a few hours and went to the apple store. The service person immediately said the engineers would have to quote me for a new logic board and top case. all he did was stare at the logic board. there was a bit of corrosion but it was like small. i did not go through with the replacements since it would cost me $1330 just replacing and no service fee yet.
    i went home and took out the battery, logic board and hard drive. i was able to clean underneath the keyboard which was still a bit sticky with dog pee. i wasn't able to remove the cd drive because the screws were so tight. i the reset the SMC and PRAM. The laptop started. When i was able to see the screen where it had different options like restoring and resetting preferences and something about drives i did not know what to do so i shut it down again. i still could not use the power button so i reset the SMC again. it is the only way to turn on my laptop.The laptop opened. The fan started and the screen showed the login grey screen. I noticed the keyboard was still not working. I could not login to my Admin account because it was password protected. i logged into guest. i went to system preferences and deleted my password for Admin So i could log in to my main account. All the while i was using the on screen keyboard to type which can be opened using keyboard preferences. I realized that my laptop was okay except for the keyboard.
    I was able to login to my main account. However i noticed that i could not use my Wi-Fi. It had an error that said -- Wi-Fi: No hardware installed -- i then shut down the laptop once more and disconnected the wires attached to the logic board. i reset SMC again. i logged in my main Admin Account without password and it still showed Wifi hardware not installed. I went to System Preferences and connected the ethernet cable to my laptop. I followed instructions and set up my internet using a dsl connection. i typed my username and password still didnt work i typed my IP address, Subnet mask, Router, DNS server. I got the information from my iphone 4s which was using my current wifi. it still did not work. I kept trying to connect the ethernet restarting the procedures over and over again till suddenly the wifi started working out of the blue.
    I then downloaded a remote keyboard app that allows me to use my iphone as a keyboard and trackpad so that i can use my laptop. After one day i can use almost all the letters on my laptops keyboard. however i still cannot use the function keys (except volume down), number keys, delete, enter, arrow keys and most of the punctuation keys do not work. fortunately the option and command keys work i noticed that the left side which i was able to clean from underneath is functioning properly while the right side is not. i also notice that the right side which was peed on has significantly lower back lighting than the left side. im wondering if there is anything else i havent done to fix this issue. pls help and thanks in advance
    i will try to open the right side part from underneath to clean it but im apprehensive as i dont want to lose the current progress i have with the laptop.

    your mac is not going to get better.  liquid damage usually gets worse over time.

  • Some key figures are not being correctly reversed in the Change Log

    Hi Experts,
    I'm working with the BI 7 (SP 15) and I have created an ODS with Overwrite option (Record Mode equal to ' ') and a Cube receiving data from this ODS.
    Whenever I have a change in one existing record in R/3 side (already previously loaded to BW), it comes perfectly to the ODS and overwrite the record in the Active Data. However, in the change log table, the before image record is not reversing all the key figures, there is one (Quant type) which is not working and it is being doubled in the cube. All the other key figures are Amount type and are working fine. PLease see below some examples of the Change Log behavior:
    First time the record comes - Change log content:
    Material   Valid Dt   Cost Value      Quantity Rec. Mode      Req. ID
    1234     May/01   $  100.00       10          'N'     1
    Second time when the record changes the Date:
    Material     Date      Cost Value      Quantity Rec. Mode      Req. 1234     May/29   $  100.00       10          '  '     2
    1234     May/01   $  -100.00       10          'X'     2
    Then the final result in the cube, after it is compressed, is:
    Material     Date      Cost Value      Quantity
    1234     May/29   $  100.00       20      
    Also, I have a Counter in the transformation to the Cube which is a constant equal to 1, it is also being aggregated erroneously. I could create a routine to check the record mode coming, but I'm not sure it is the best solution.
    Can anybody help me to figure this out, please?
    Thanks in advance.

    Hi Rajkumar,
    Actually it is a generic extractor (customized) and the ODS active data is getting the delta records correctly. After I extract from R/3 and activate the ODS, the active table has correct results, but the change log table has the problem described before. All the fields comes from one single extractor.
    The 0RECORDMODE that I mentioned is about the setting in the transformation to the ODS. You have the Technical rule group where you can set the 0RECORDMODE, in my case it is set to ' ' (blank) which means it will receive After-Images from the extractor (which I think is correct in my case). The most curious is that it is working for almost all key figures (all amount type), except for the Price Unit which is Quantity type.
    Any other ideas?
    Thanks.

  • Hidden Key figures are not being displayed after unhiding

    We've applied SP 14 - SP 22 in our 3.1C BW system. Prior to the patches going in, users were able to unhide hidden key figures through the Change Query local view and view them in the report once the query was executed. After the patches were applied, even though the key figures
    were unhiden through the change query local view, they are not returned in the report after executing the
    query.
    As anyone run across this after appling this patch level ?

  • Image Burn-In (still images)

    Does anyone have any info/experience with image burn-in? As in where images are permantly burnt onto TV screens.
    I'm doing a training DVD which will have various slideshows like a powerpoint. Some slides may be up for a while, plus there would probably be consistent elements to teach slide, like a logo. I'm just wondering if there would be much risk of causing image burn in? The training sessions would go for 90-120 min.
    Thanks
    Mike

    I googled a bit for burn-in and couldn't find anything definitive on how long it takes for a CRT to burn an image in.
    I think it's because it might vary depending on how old the TV is... newer TVs (as well as newer plasmas) are much more resistant to burn-in.
    http://www.insideapple.com/articles/purpose_screensavers.php
    http://www.macintouch.com/readerreports/displays/topic2160.html
    The one Inside Apple article states "24 hours" but I'm not sure where he gets that number.
    So, I'm guessing, but I'd say you wouldn't have to worry about 2 hours of static image. If you were concerned, you could always set a menu's time-out value and have it jump after the time-out has expired to a looping video with a constantly-moving image.

  • Image size for still images

    I've got a bunch of 300DPI 8x10 inch images I want to put into iMovie.
    Do I need to reduce file size or will iMovie reduce the size automaticlly?

  • Volume of X-Fi XtremeMusic on Win8.1 not being memorized

    Hi
    So my Sound Blaster doesn't seem to memorize the volume values I set on Windows and always resets to 82 no matter how high or low I set them. If I reboot, the volume gets reset to 82. If I change the sound mode on the Creative Control Panel, it resets to 82. The other things like Digital-In, MIDI Synth, Line-In and Auxiliary also get reset to 100/100/66/66 respectively.
    What can I do to make Windows 8.1 memorize these values as I want it to?

  • Large Still Images into PE - One Workflow

    Everyone wants the highest quality that they can obtain when doing their videos. It’s natural to want the best. Well, when dealing with still images, bigger is not necessarily better, for two reasons. First, overly large still images can really tax a system and second, one is limited to the frame size of the video, so these have to be resized somewhere - this resizing can be in the NLE (Non Linear Editor) program, or in an image processing program like PS (Photoshop), which does a better job anyway. Doing this in PS, or PSE, will result in better resized images, and they are easier for the NLE to work with. Quality is as high as your Project’s Preset will allow, and you are more efficient, with fewer crashes, slowdowns and hangs. It is a win-win situation.
    Here is my normal workflow when dealing with still images. This workflow is for NTSC 4:3 720x480 with a PAR (Pixel Aspect Ratio) of 0.9. If your Project’s Presets are different, use those specs to resize to.
    Since I shoot my still images in RAW, I Copy my files from the CF card to my system and catalog these images by location, subject and date (if necessary). I’ll do a quick conversion and Save_As Adobe DNG for backup. I then process these RAW images in PS with the ARC (Adobe Raw Converter), correcting them and then doing a Save_As PSD into a sub-folder. All of this is in my still photo library.
    Normally, I will edit these PSD’s to find the images that I wish to use in a Video Project, and will Copy the selected images to another folder. You’ll see that I work with a lot of Copies, so my original files are always untouched and stored elsewhere. This guards against anything happening to them.
    At this point, I’ll decide how I wish to use these selected images in my Video Project. Let’s just say that they are all horizontal images, and are still full-size from my camera. As stated, my Video Projects are DV-NTSC 4:3 720x480 PAR 0.9. [Remember, your Video Project may vary, so you will need to plug in the dimensions for YOUR Video Project in that case.] I also will have done my Cropping on each image individually, to get them to 4:3 Aspect Ratio. I do this my eye and by hand, rather than via an Action, because I want full aesthetic control.
    In PS, I have a set of Actions for Video. An Action is like a Script, but less powerful and less involved in the writing. As I have already done all of my image enhancements and additional processing before I did my Copy to the selected folder, I only have to worry about my Action resizing these selected images for use in my Video Project. My Action here is to resize to 720x480 with a PAR of 0.9, and I normally use the Action that does this with a particular resizing algorithm, Bicubic-Smoother (though I also use Bicubic-Sharper on occasion).
    For the next step, I go to my folder structure (remember, this folder contains copies of my selected still images in PSD format), and create a new sub-folder "[Project Name]_720x480." Back in PS, I choose File>Automate>Batch. Here I set my Source Folder, my Destination folder and the Action to perform. In my case, it’ll be the Destination Folder, that I just created, [Project Name]_720x480, and my Action will be my NTSC 4:3 720x480 Smooth. I check to have the Open command by-passed, because I do not need to see this take place on my monitor. When I hit OK, PS grabs all files in my Source Folder, runs the commands of my Action and does a Save_As for all files into my Destination Folder. I can process hundreds of large images down to a great 720x480 PAR 0.9 via Bicubic-Smoother interpolation, in moments. Now, I’m ready to go. Last, I Copy my Destination Folder to my Video Project’s folder hierarchy (usually on another HDD), and then Import these processed stills into my NLE.
    What if I need to pan on one, or more of these images, while they are zoomed out completely? I don’t have enough pixels in my horizontal dimension to do this. I am just filling the frame with my still. Well, if I find that there are such images, I go back to my folder with the full sized images in my still images library, and select the ones that need to be larger. I run another Action on these, but it’s one that resizes to something larger than 720x480, say 1000x750. Now, I have another Destination Folder with the name [File Name]_1000x750. I’ll Copy this over to my Video Project, and Import these into the NLE. Here, I can go to Project Panel and remove the 720x480 versions if I so choose, but since a Premiere Project file (.PRPROJ or .PREL) is only an XML database, I may just leave them. It does not contain any media files, just links to where they are on the system and to what operations are performed on them.
    By doing my resizing in PS, rather than in Premiere, I have accomplished two things:
    1.) I have better quality resized images, using the algorithms in PS, plus have a choice of several interpolation methods to work with.
    2.) I have lessened the processing load on my NLE and on my system, while doing the editing
    I get higher quality and lower resource overhead - hence my reference to "win-win."
    Now, back to my aesthetic control. I do not do any automatic zooming or panning. If one allows the NLE to do this, then they will want to probably process all of their images to 1000x750 (remember, this is for an NTSC 4:3 Project, so you will need to calculate what YOUR Project will require).
    The two programs that I use are Photoshop and Premiere Pro, but Photoshop Elements can do the same things, though the exact commands might be different. Premiere Elements will handle the resized still images, just like Premiere Pro and the only difference will be the terminology used when one wishes to Import the still images.
    I also keep all of my images in .PSD (the native format of PS), and do not convert to JPEG, or other. If one’s camera shoots only JPEG, I suggest writing the Action to do the Save_As to .PSD, as another JPEG compression will cost one quality. Yes, the JPEG’s will be smaller, but remember we are looking for the ultimate quality, so larger file sizes are just part of that equation.
    One does not have to deal with all of the Copies, as I do. However, this allows me to go back to the originals, or to the processed full-sized .PSD’s at any step along the way. There is only one thing worse than not being able to go back to an intermediate version with full Layers and Adjustment Layers, plus any Alpha Channels, and that is finding out that you’ve lost your original RAW and DNG backups! That’s why I do a lot of Save_As and also work from Copies all along the way.
    Hunt

    Your workflow looks good. I do similar, but use PS, in lieu of LightRoom. I also do DNG's for my archives.
    Provided that one chooses a JPEG compression algorithm setting that does not do too much compression, I doubt that anyone, but the most very critical, could tell the difference in Video. Most of my tests on PSD vs JPEG have been for print. There, one can more easily detect the differences. Video "hides" some of that.
    To date, I have not had a Project where the Asset size differences between equally sized PSD's vs JPEG's caused any slowdown, or problem. There could be a resources savings with the smaller JPEG files, but there is a tiny bit of overhead dealing with the JPEG compression. I have never tested this, so can only guess that the smaller Asset size of the JPEG would trump that overhead - just a guess on my part.
    For me, keeping the images in PSD does save a tiny bit of work in my Action (basically one less operation to perform), but I doubt that one could measure that time difference, even over the automation of hundreds of images. Besides, it's only one additional line in the Action. My feelings on JPEG vs PSD is firmly based in my print experience, and I am probably being too critical with images going to video. When I move up to HD and BD authoring, I need to apply a very critical eye, to see if I can tell the differences on an HD TV. So long as one does not apply too much JPEG compression, the differences should be very slight, at the worst, and maybe not even noticed, at best.
    I do minimize the impact of many files on my Project by sizing to what I need. If I will not be doing any pans on zoomed-out images, I size to my Project. For pans on zoomed-out images, I calculate just what I will need for those pans, and might end up with several groups of sizes, to accommodate each. Still, the vast majority will be sized to exactly what I need for the Project - very few extra pixels.
    In my case, and yours too, I have my RAW, my DNG, my working Layered PSD's, and then my sized output. I always keep all working PSD's, as I might change my mind, or my client might change theirs, and I do not want to have to go back and redo work, if I still have those working files. I also do as little destructive editing, as I can, using Dupe Layers, and Adjustment Layers, whenever possible. If I can, I never Flatten, or Merge Layers, so I can make any/all changes at any time, and only have to do the resizing via the same Actions. That is basically a "one-button" solution, once I have made the changes required.
    Good luck,

  • Inserted still image too big . . .

    When I insert a still image and play it, the image is zoomed in about 400%, what am I doing wrong?

    OK so your AVCHD media is either 1920x1080 or 1280x720. Whichever it is, if you need to move on the image, make the still image twice that horizontal resolution, so for 1280 make it 2560. If you don't need to move on it make it 1920x1080 or 1820x720 depending on your video format.

  • Need Help Pasting Key Frames from one still image to others, and Changing the duration of multiple still images.

    I'm working on a stop motion project, and I have at least a thousand still images to work with.
    I have adjusted several Key Frame settings on the 1st still image in my project, such as
    Brightness
    Cropping
    Scale
    Position
    I now want to apply these exact settings to hundreds of still images at a time that make up one scene in the project (but not all still images in the entire project).. Is there a way to paste or easily transfer them?
    Also, there are scenes I'm working on in which I want to change the image duration of hundreds of photos at once, but not change to duration of all images in the project, is this possible?
    I've looked at several different web-links, but none of them have what I'm looking for. If you can please help me, I'd be willing to send you $10 through paypal. Knowledge is power; the solution to these problems would save me hours of time. If you don't fully understand my questions I can send you a pictures or a video, pointing out my needs.

    Stan,
    Thanks again for your input.
    When the project is created, I don't recall seeing the preference settings until after the project opens the first time.  In that case if certain media was imported into the project panel but not in the sequence, after the duration was changed, it would be necessary to remove the media from the project panel then re-import again.  If there is a workaround to this please let me know.  It also doesn't appear that creating a new sequence would prevent the re-importing.  Could you confirm?
    Thanks for the link on automating to sequence--I remember that from CS4.
    The application of identical effects to media on the timeline in a sequence was something I had learned back in CS3 or maybe earlier CS4 where the effected, in this case a transition between images was applied then copied then using the paste or (Control V) command, applied to all other stills.  That worked fine but with lots of images, it ends up being a lot of "point and clicks" since the CTI must be moved to each transition insertion point before the paste is applied. 
    I actually thought that I had seen someone select the remainder of the images in the sequence then apply the paste command but I was never able to make that work.  Have you heard of such a short-cut?
    Much thanks again!!
