Images disappear from drop zones

I'm using the "Bands" template, and I'm adding a photo to 3 different drop zones: the first one (the animated one) works fine. But when I add a photo for background on either the menu or "extras" page, it goes in fine, turns black and white and has the shading around the top edge, but when I click on another page in the DVD and back to these two pages, the image is gone and it again says "Drag Photos or Movies Here". Any ideas? I'm using 7.0.4, don't have any compelling reason to upgrade to 7.1 unless this bug is fixed there...

Hi George
Sorry to hear you are having issues with iDvd regarding background and drop zones not staying with the images or photos you picked. I just tried the very same thing you described above running iDvd 7.0.4 on a Dual G5 2.0 Ghz and I cannot duplicate this issue. Mine runs fine and exactly as expected. All choices remain in place. So I'm not exactly sure what's going on with your own particular configuration. But like you I don't recommend updating unless this issue is first addressed in the next update. My feeling is that it won't be. What you may want to do if you haven't already is dispose of the plist for iDvd. Go to your HOME folder > Library > Preferences >
com.apple.iDvd.plist
Drag and drop this file to the trash or to the desktop and relaunch iDvd.
Come on back if this fails to help. Please also let us know exactly how much available hard drive space is remaining on the boot volume (your main HDD). You may also want to repair permissions at this time from apple's disk utility.
Good luck!

How do I resize an image within a drop zone (not the drop zone itself) in motion 5?

How do I resize an image within a drop zone (not the drop zone itself) in motion 5?

I think others would be able to help if you describe a little more why you'd like to do this. Given that drop zones are a way of passing images into Motion that you want to manipulate, resizing a drop zone is the equivalent of resizing the image.
If you're having a problem with an image from Final Cut being too big or too small, select the Drop Zone in the inspector and make sure the Fit parameter is set to 'Fit' - 'Center' will result in images dropped not being scaled to fit the Drop Zone. 'Stretch' will force the dropped image to fill the space defined by the drop zone,
If the image is already cropped and scaled up in Final Cut Pro, that is the information that Motion gets - you can't scale down the image to see more of the edges that have been cropped off.
If you want more than one copy of the image passed via the drop zone, use Make Clone Layer from the Object menu.

Moving an image in a drop zone

Is there any way of moving an image in a drop zone? at the moment its cropping the top half of a still image?

You can customize the shape, size, and position of a button in any menu but not drop zones unfortunately. In order to do this you'd need to modify the app itself. Most iLife users aren't up to such a task.
Might be easier to simply start with DvdSP (part of Apple's FCS 2). As complicated as DVDSP is, I believe it may be easier to learn apple's pro apps, as opposed to the actual hack for such modifications within iDvd.

Selected images disappearing from compiled CHM

I've got a project that I'm trying to get compiled into a CHM file from RoboHTML 8. Everything seems to have gone fine, except that four of the images I added to the project prior to compilation don't show up in the CHM. They seem to be fine when viewed from RoboHelp, they're where they're supposed to be, and the source code of the compiled CHM refrences them correctly. And yet... they don't actually show up! I have tried renaming them, and reimporting them into the project, but these tricks didn't work. I'm hoping someone out there has some suggestions!

I've had this happen a few times.
I deleted the image from the topic and then inserted it again from the
RoboHelp project files (from the "Images in Project Folders" section on
the left side - not from the open folder icon).
This solved the problem for me; hope it helps you as well.

Rounded corners from image mask disappear with Drop Zone

Hi All,
I'm really stumped here. I'm on Motion4 and per directions from other posts I have used the following method to attempt a mask shape. The desired outcome is a photo that has a nice square shape with rounded corners.
1. Using a photo on the canvas.
2. In the layers menu, I click on the image and select, Add Image Mask
3. In the inspector I go to Image mask and drop in Frame17 from the contents folder.
The problem...every time the rounded corners from the shape seem to disappear. Can anyone tell me what I did wrong? Or suggest another method.
Additional info from Image Mask Tab: Source Channel is set to Alpha, Mask Blend Mode is set to Add, automatically-I did not set these.

When you say that the rounded corners seem to disappear, what do you mean exactly? Are they there at first, but then disappear after you start playing the sequence? Or do the rounded corners not happen at all?
If the corners start, but disappear after playing the project, then it probably means that the Frame 17 image from the content folder is not as long as the image mask. As soon as the Frame ends, it will stop providing the source for the image mask. Fix this by making sure that Frame 17 is at least as long as your image mask.
Alt way, and easier unless you're working in a 3D project, is to simply draw a rectangle mask around your photo and in the Mask tab of the inspector, adjust the roundness parameter until the corners are sufficiently rounded to your liking.

Problem with images disappearing from project

I have inserted a number of images into my Robohelp 9 project topics using the Insert >> Image function. Typically the images were stored on my hard drive on my pc, but some I pulled from a shared network drive that were prepared by other people. They seemed to load into the project OK. I had them grouped in a about 5 different robohelp folders to keep them organized so after I would insert, complete my topic and save. I would move the images to their respective folder. This was fine for a while, I had no problems generating printed .pdf documentation, making changes to my topics, etc. But now the images keep disappearing from the Robohelp folder structure and the printed documentation. I can see the images when I open up and view the topics. I can also see them when I look out onto the drive on the computer. However, they do not show up in the Robohelp Project Manager and are not included in my printed output. I keep re-inserting them, but they continue to disappear.

Hi there
Certainly it won't hurt anything to add the images to baggage files, but I'd be shocked to find that solves the problem.
If an image has been used in RoboHelp, it should be present in the project. End of story. The fact they seem to be disappearing seems to suggest that maybe something has gone awry with folder naming or image naming or the project in general.
So what version and flavor of RoboHelp are you using?
RoboHelp 10, RoboHelp 9, RoboHelp 8, etc.
RoboHelp HTML, RoboHelp for Word
Cheers... Rick

Portrait image in a drop zone

I have a portrait image i want to put in a drop zone.. there is a section that is cut, is there any way to increase the size of the drop zone.
Thanks!

Hi s
If You mean in iMovie themes. Don't think so.
I would:
- take the photos to a photo editing program like PhotoShop
- add a black border = make the photo smaller
- now it would present it self better in the theme window drop-zones.
Yours Bengt W

QT clips deleted from drop zones & folder. Why?

I had a theme with 8 drop zones. Six of which were filled with QT clips. The clips were stored in a project folder with 15 other clips that I was not using. I went to achive the project and a pop up said it couldn't locate the clips. The clips had been deleted from the drop zones (just the clips not pics that I had in other drop zones)and they were missing from the folder on the hard disk. Any ideas?

Never heard that one before... I have no idea why that would happen "out of the blue."

Picture missing from drop zone

I'm new to DVD Studio Pro so bear with me.
I am creating a DVD project using the Brush Detail template. I have two menus as its a small project. I dragged a picture into the drop zone last night and it appeared in the menu just fine. Tonight when I opened the project the picture could be seen in the inspector but it's not in the drop zone. When I run the simulator the picture is still not in the drop zone. I tried to delete the picture asset but I couldn't as it's still in use. Any Ideas?
Thanks, Dennis

Scracth that it's the 4th picture.

Images disappearing from Numbers

I'm trying to write up a list of editions for an artist, using a Numbers spreadsheet. My first column is for images. While I can easily insert them into the spread sheet, everytime I save the document (an an excel doc), close the document, and then reopen it again, the images totally disappear.
Anyone have an experience with this? I've re-done it 4 times now, with no result.
Thanks

Numbers does not support images as the contents of a cell, only as an image fill for the background, or formatting, of a cell. Neither does Numbers really "save" as an Excell document; that is an export operation, which does not keep image fills.
If you want to use Numbers, you should save in that format and if you want to use the excell format, you should use Excell, because each time you translate back and forth, you will probably lose something.

Image disappears from two dimensional array

hi there! i just started learning java. I am having problems making my image appear in JLayeredPanel. I have this array of panel in which the JLayeredPanel is placed. Also, I have a MouseListener for my actions...
The problem is when I click twice or thrice the image would disappear whenever a new one appears.
help please....

i just started learning javaThen it might be a good idea to learn java basics first by using the core classes through the console (command prompt), and only when you're confident with those, move to GUI/Swing stuff and the like. But that's just my opinion.
Regarding the problem at hand, post relevant code using [code] tags.

Images disappearing from slideshow - also unable to export these photos

Hi I hope someone can help me....
I made a slideshow of holiday photos and it played successfully 5 or 6 times, but when I came back to it recently some of the photos just don't appear (black screen) - when I went through it the photos that weren't appearing are still in the preview strip at the top of the page, but when selected, a grey box with a dotted line around it and a question mark in the middle appears.
I didn't worry about this for a while, but now I am finding that I cannot export these photos either. It seems to be random - some photos I can burn to disc and some I can't. Is there anything I am missing, should I be looking for some info regarding these photos to see why they are behaving differently from others? This is now also happening to photos in my library that I haven't put in a slide show....

Lindart
To be honest I'm not sure why sometimes there's an exclamation point, and somtimes a question mark, but it essentially means the same thing. iPhoto cannot find the file.
Assuming that you haven't been changing this in the iPhoto Library Folder then we have to assume that the database is corupt - which can happen from time to time. Sometimes the rebuild will fix it. Let's try an different method of rebuilding:
Download iPhoto Library Manager from
http://homepage.mac.com/bwebster/iphotolibrarymanager.html
and use it to rebuild the library. It has a more robust series of tools for the job.
In any event your pictures should be safe in the iPhoto Library Folder.
In this folder there are various files, which are the Library itself and some ancillary files. Then you have three folders
Originals are the photos as they were downloaded from your camera or scanner.
(ii) Modified contains edited pics, shots that you have cropped, rotated or changed in any way.
This allows the Photos -> Revert to Original command - very useful if you don't like the changes you've made.
(iii) Data holds the thumbnails the the app needs to show you the photos in the iPhoto Window.
So, if you back up the iPhoto Library Folder it will save your photos.

Images disappearing from Camera Roll?

I have recently bought an Iphone 4 and immediately upgraded to iOS 4.02. The other day I discovered that all of a sudden I can not see any of the pictures taken with the camera. In the Camera Roll I see the thumbnails. When I try to see the pictures I only get a black screen. For the two videos I recorded I have a similar problem, I see the thumbnails but it says "The video can not be played". I have not synced any of the pictures in iTunes, just music. I tried to restart the iPhone, did not help. I tried to sync the iPhone and then restart and connect again, problem remains. Please help!

You've stumbled across another publishing bug in iWeb 1.1 & 1.1.1. When you publish a page with images that go to the "Images" folder, other pages that have images in this folder will have their images removed. Images only seem to go missing on pages that are NOT published during an editing session, so a "publish all" is a workaround. Also, if you edit a pictures within iWeb, it seems to create an "edited" copy that gets placed in Page_files folder for the page, also working around the proglem. I can't figure out why it places only certain (non-edited?) files in the Images folder, perhaps it is trying to do some images sharing across the pages.

Images disappear from camera menu in iphoto after import

After I import pictures from a canon camera to iphoto, they do not appear in the camera menu when I click on it in the program. Does that mean they are deleted from the camera or are they just hidden on the program but still on the camera?

sorry but your post is not clear
What version of iPhoto do you have? Of the OS?
After I import pictures from a canon camera to iphoto,
OK
they do not appear in the camera menu
Please explain this
when I click on it in the program.
What program? What are you clicking on? what happens? what do you expect to happen?
Does that mean they are deleted from the camera
Did you delete them after importing the photos? If so did you reformat the memory card using the camera (recommended) or have iPhoto delete then after importing (not recommened) or did you choose to keep the photos?
or are they just hidden on the program
Again what program?
but still on the camera?
No one but you can answer this - are they still on the memory card when you put it in the camera
BTW it is strongly recommended that you never have any computer program including iPhoto delete your photos - after importing keep the photos and then after at least one successful backup cycle you can use your camera's format command to reformat and erase the memory card - personally I rotate between three large cards so I do not delete the photos from my memory card for a year or more
