Image pan sticking

Hello Mac Community,
I have been struggling for some time with an issue in which a video clip of a large image that I am panning, tends to stick and have noticeable lags when I play it back in full resolution.
The animation was made in motion and pans over a 4726 x 1057 image of an ancient document. I can understand why playing the motion file in real time would show lags as it is manipulating a very large document on the fly. However, I don't know why it creates lags when I play it as an exported 640 x 480 mpeg4 Quicktime movie. It's dealing with individual frames now instead of a giant image. Could it have something to do with the decoding, or watching the movie at a full screen resolution?
Thanks,
Steve Jr.

Stuttering image pan

Hello,
I have seen and looked over several different threads on this subject, but I have not yet found a solution that works for me, so I thought I would try myself.
I have created a simple image pan for a project I am editing for somebody. I have tried creating this pan both in Premiere Pro CC 2014, as well as After Effects CC 2014 (both fully updated), and each time I get the same problem - the pan comes back stuttering instead of smooth.
I have tried adjusting the frame rate, the original image size, I created a camera parented to a null object and panned that layer rather than moving the image itself (in After Effects), I incorporated motion blur, and at this point I am not sure what else to do. It is possible that my problem is in the export specs, and it's even possible that the problem itself is in playback rather than in the file itself (I have watched the file on both PC and Mac, windows media player as well as quicktime and vlc).
The project for which I am making this animation is a 1920x1080 24p project, but I have tried making this animation at not only 24fps but also 30 and 50 fps, just to test out options.
I have tried exporting to a quicktime movie with a png video codec, a photo-jpeg codec and a mpeg-4 codec, at about 85% quality, though I have tried other options as well.
What I want is, I believe, simple - it is a six-second pan from left to right, resulting in smooth movement with clear, legible detail on the map while it's moving. I think maybe I am just over-complicating it. I don't know anymore.
I have included a link to the after effects project file and the latest export below. I did also try just panning the map using the motion effect in premiere pro (since the larger project that includes the map is, itself, in premiere), but that was no better. Any advice?

Interactive Image Panning within a Mask

Hey guys thanks for the help so far. The last piece to the
puzzle for me is figuring out how to scroll a movie clip within a
mask. I'm currently working with the script taken from the
Interactive Image Panning tutorial on kirupa.com as a base. Right
now the script references the entire Stage area for scrolling the
image whereas I want this to happen just within a mask. How do I
set this up. Here is where I have the script right now:
this.onMouseMove = function() {
constrainedMove(Work_placeholder, 4, 1);
function constrainedMove(target:MovieClip, speed:Number,
dir:Number) {
var mousePercent:Number = _xmouse/Stage.height;
var mSpeed:Number;
if (dir == 1) {
mSpeed = 1-mousePercent;
} else {
mSpeed = mousePercent;
target.destY =
Math.round(-((target._height-Stage.height)*mSpeed));
target.onEnterFrame = function() {
if (target._y == target.destY) {
delete target.onEnterFrame;
} else {
target._y += Math.ceil((target.destY-target._y)*(speed/100));
ps. the instance name of my mask is Work_mask (movie
clip)

ok note sure if i got what your saying but il give it a try.
you have a background image and a mask made up of 72 squares
(1 symbol, 72 instance of that 1)
if thats right. i just tried it also all i is 1 box working.
mainly cause there symbols. so how do you do 72 easy make it 1
symbol but not the easy way your ganna have to make it the long way
ill try to help...
go from the stage into the mask symbol so you can see the
background image. now instead of having 72 instances just copy
frames and make 72 layers then move them to fill screen. making
your checked desolve look possible.
if thats not what your looking for please put more info so
someone else or i can help thanks..

Image Pan _ Rubber band effect

I am trying to make the black square do the rubber band
effect while the image pans left to right with mouse movement
Each code works seperatly but when i put them together they
do not work
here is layer 1 the code for the image pan
this.onMouseMove = function() {
constrainedMove(bg_mc, 4, 1);
function constrainedMove(target:MovieClip, speed:Number,
dir:Number) {
var mousePercent:Number = _xmouse/Stage.width;
var mSpeed:Number;
if (dir == 1) {
mSpeed = 1-mousePercent;
} else { mSpeed = mousePercent;
target.destX =
Math.round(-((target._width-Stage.width)*mSpeed));
target.onEnterFrame = function() {
if (target._x == target.destX) {
delete target.onEnterFrame;
} else if (target._x>target.destX) {
target._x -=
Math.ceil((target._x-target.destX)*(speed/100));
} else if (target._x<target.destX) {
target._x +=
Math.ceil((target.destX-target._x)*(speed/100));
here is the code for the movieclip on layer 2
MovieClip.prototype.move = function (centerx, centery,
inertia, k) { x = -this._x+centerx;y = -this._y+centery;xp =
xp*inertia+x*k;yp = yp*inertia+y*k;_x += xp;_y += yp;};
now the code for the actual squarebox
onClipEvent (enterFrame) {
this.move(x=247.5, y=300, 0.80, 0.1);
What am i doing wrong????

Scrolling in chromium and image panning in geeqie suddenly slow

I have a laptop with a Sandy Bridge processor (Intel Core i7 2670QM with Intel HD3000 integrated graphics). Before today, scrolling long web pages in chromium by clicking on the scrollbar, holding and moving the mouse was instantaneous, and panning (moving) large photos in GQview was instantaneous as well, albeit with tearing present (which I don't mind in those particular cases, I only care about responsiveness).
Today it suddenly changed. Fast scrolling in chromium lags significantly (it's elastic, if you know what I mean), same for image panning in GQview, though with no tearing present.
I haven't the faintest idea as to what could possibly have changed. I then installed Geeqie to see if it would change anything, and it did: panning was again instantaneous, with tearing. Then a bit later, with no modification on the system whatsoever, it started lagging again. So I rebooted, started X and launched Geeqie immediately to make sure that no other software could influence X or anything, but it was still laggy.
I don't know how to reproduce the change either way. Something is obviously escaping me, but I have no clue what. My system is up to date (pacman -Syu). I'm running Openbox with compositing disabled. Any ideas?

Some additional details: firefox 9.0.1 (downloaded from Mozilla's FTP, not Arch Linux's package) scrolls instantaneously, and image panning in The GIMP is instantaneous as well.

Please Help! I don't want images to "stick" to the outside of CS3! I want them to float!

I have CS3 and I like having my images float without "sticking" to anything over the whole screen. As it is now, they like to grab onto the edge of the application when I move them outside its boundaries. I did this all the time in CS2 and I like it a lot. This new thing is very annoying and I want desperately to TURN IT OFF. Please! I am asking could someone please tell me how to turn the image stickiness to the edge of the app OFF? Thanks so much in advance!
Nothing I've tried thus far has worked and I've lost three days trying to figure it out. Why is this not a clickable option to turn off in preferences???

You can't.
The Mail.app displays all image/photo and single page PDF attachments inline or viewed in place within the body of the message by default - sending and receiving.
You can control-click on a viewed in place attachment and select View as Icon but the icon for the attached file will remain in the body of the message. Regardless, depending on the recipient's email client and available preference settings, such attachments may appear inline or viewed in place when the message is opened by the recipient (as with the Mail.app when receiving such attachments) or as attached files only which must be opened separately to be viewed for which the sender has no control over.
This was a minor adjustment for me at first but I now prefer such attachments being displayed inline since I have confirmation that I selected the correct file or file names as attachments before the message is sent.

Simple image pan using Flash CS3

I need help panning a long jpeg image resting on the bottom layer of my first Flash project.
I simply need to pan the image from right to left in a continuous loop, which I'm sure is a simple thing to program, yet I can't seem to locate instructions or a tutorial that explains it.
Can anyone help?

Smooth image pan

Sorry I'm a noob
I import images into flash but when I use motion tween to pan
them, they play all jerky, like 3 or 4 FPS. My timeline is set to
24fps. The other animations play smoothly, its just the imported
images that are jerky.
I hear flash 8 can make it smooth but the file won’t be
compatible with old flash players. A lot of people I know still
haven’t upgraded. I would like to make it compatible with
flash 7 or hopefully earlier.
Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks!

Thanks Dave, really appreciate the time you've given to try and help me. Woke up to a stack of snow here in the UK - we're not used to the white stuff.
I've tried rendering to 50 frames per sec and no difference in stuttering movement. I've been looking more closely at the RAM preview and although it runs in real time, there is a slight stutter in places (at 25 and 50 frames/s), although much smoother than the rendered pan, which is bad. When compressed in Premier to H.264 it looks even worse.
I've been searching the web for postings on this subject, and on this and other forums, the same question has been asked many times and I haven't found the situation resolved by the end of the thread - where some guy goes 'yeah thanks that's real smooth now'! Also, I've seen lots of smooth pans done with a camera on video clips but I can't find a smooth one done from a still image rendered by software.
Cheers
Steve

Can you resize the image in stickies

Just wondering if there's a way to do that
i kind of want to make the image smaller than their original size

Does not appear so. Resize in Preview>Tools>Adjust size before you drag to Stickies.

Old chestnut ? IMAGE PAN

Hi all - just joined the forum today and would appreciate some help from teh great the good and the wise who live here.
I've used Premiere 6.0 for some time now and recently downloaded the CS3 trial.
One of the features that I like most in 6 is the video/transform/ImagePan effect. All I have to do is create a series of keyframes. Each keyframe defines a section of the clip using a bounding box. Hey presto! I have a clip with pan and zoom effects. Perhaps not everybody's cup of tea but I like it.
I've tried to replicate this with the Motion effect without success.
Also I've spent most of yesterday and today on the web, including this forum, trying to find out whether there is a CS3 equivalent but no joy so far.
The closest I've come is the StageTools MovPix plug-in.
Do any of you more senior members know whether I can produce the equivalent effect in CS3 as easily as it is in 6.0?
I'll upgrade to CS3 eventually but don't want to lose some of my favorite effects or go through a steep learning curve...I 'aint that bright!

You will also find links to many
free tutorials in the PremiereProPedia that will quickly show you how things are done in Premiere Pro.

Interactive Image Panning Help Please!!!!!

Hey guys,
I'm trying to achieve an effect similar to this one:
http://www.prada.com/pradabook/
When you click on a thumbnail and the larger image opens, when you move the mouse all the way to the right or left, the image just moves a fraction of the distance...
I simply can't figure this out...I only manage to have the image follow the mouse til the absolute edges....
I am playing arround with 2 scrolling codes:
// Create a point when the image is first clicked
var mouseLocFirstTime:Point = new Point(mc2._xmouse, mc2._ymouse);
mc2.onEnterFrame = function()
mc2.onMouseMove = function()
// Keep creating points according the mouse position on the image
var destination:Point = new Point(mc2._xmouse, mc2._ymouse);
// Find the difference between the two points
finalDX = destination.x - mouseLocFirstTime.x;
finalDY = destination.y - mouseLocFirstTime.y;
// Tween to the difference and add the mc2 x and y since the image inside mc2 is aligned top left
TweenMax.to(mc2,2,{_x:finalDX + mc2._x, _y:finalDY + mc2._y});
By the way, mc2 is the large zoomed image, which is much much larger than the stage...its about 8000 px!!!
The above code works fine, but i'm trying to reverse the direction, which is proving to be a pain!!! Can you guys please help?!?!?
The other code I'm trying to implement is this one:
var xRatioS = 0;
var yRatioS = 0;
var xTweenAmountS = 0;
var yTweenAmountS = 0;
mc2.onEnterFrame = function()
xRatioS = ((Stage.width - mc2._width) / Stage.width);
xTweenAmountS = _xmouse * xRatioS;
yRatioS = ((Stage.height - mc2._height) / Stage.height);
yTweenAmountS = _ymouse * yRatioS;
TweenLite.to(mc2,2,{_x:xTweenAmountS, _y:yTweenAmountS});
Now this one goes in the right direction as I need, but it goes all the way to the edges of my image...and I can't seem to figure out how to reduce the distance to about half or a quarter?!?!?!?
Thank you guys...I know this a long post....but i'm hoping that someone out there can help me out with any one of the above!!!
CHEERS

depending on the way you lay it out you could have it become part of the rollover on each button. But you'd have to have enough space on screen to accommodate the text you want displayed. Note that the video playing as part of menu background can only be so long and adds to the media on the disk.

Where is the backup dialog on the import image pane in lr5.6

There used to be the ability to backup your images in lr5.5 during import. I still have it in windows but its gone on my mac?

It's right there in the File Handling panel of the Import dialog box; it says "Make a second copy to...", probably the exact same place it was in LR 5.5.

PhotoBooth records a video, but then in the image pane it is shown as grey, please help?

So, I've been trying to record videos using PhotoBooth, and even before I deleted and uninstalled my QuickTime, it had started recording videos and showing them as grey. When I try to click on them and open them, PhotoBooth quits on itself. Can someone advise me of what I need to do here?

Duplicate Pannning With Mouse Wheel Down + Mouse Move to Pan Vision Image

I am trying to duplicate an image panning operation using the middle mouse scroll wheel depressed while moving the mouse.
Code is pretty simple, but pan occurs in opposite direction of normal pan and opposite to direction of mouse. I have tried a number of options to try to reverse this but none successful.
Thoughts?
Thanks for looking.
Don

Hello!
From testing the code, it behaves as I would expect? The default behavior for pan is to sort of "drag" the image to you. If you want the opposite behavior, you could manipulate the output of Last Mouse Position.
