Images in Slideshows and Menus 'jumping' up before resolving

Tried to do a search for this, but my word choices probably aren't correct...
Is there a way to stop images from 'jumping' up before they resolve (or am I doing something wrong and making it happen)? I have been noticing that in slideshows (especially if there is a disolve transition) or in menus, images will 'scoop' up before settling into their final position. And that usually the image is not as crisp or clear afterwards.
It's happening with items I create using Photoshop's templates, as well as images I drag into drop zones. It's happening with images that I have scanned, or that others have provided, or with item I have captured off the internet or off DVDs, so there's no common thread.
Thanks for your input.

My slideshows and menus look pixelated after I burn a DVD in DVD Studio Pro

Hello to all! I'm new to DVD Studio Pro and this posting. I have finally finished setting up my DVD, and it looks great in DVD Studio Pro. However, whenever I burn a final copy, the menus and every picture in my slideshow looks pixelated and crunchy. I'm pretty sure I have all my settings right, I had help setting up my project by a guy who creates films and promotional shorts in DVDSP all the time. The pictures/menus are jpgs (original size is something like 1800 pixels, 180 dpi). I have tried saving them smaller (720x543) then importing them. I have tried saving them as tiffs and importing them. I have tried saving them smaller AND saving as tiffs and importing them. I have tried different media types. I have gone into "menu" under DVDSP Prefs, and changed the Final Rendering from "hardware based" to "software based". Nothing works. I don't know what else to do. I just feel like DVDSP is "compressing" the crap out of these things for no reason at some point, and I can't figure this out. They do look lovely in the simulator though, it's only when I play back the burned DVD that it looks terrible. Am I overlooking something very simple? Please help! I really appreciate any thoughts people have on this.

Hi JenRem, another idea you may consider is to export your content prior to DVDSP3 workflow as follows:
• set destination resolutions for your DVD as 576x720 (PAL) or the non pal version (480 x 720) and
• export ain APPLE ANIMATION CODEC (this is the thing that may fix you issue maybe).
I base this suggestion on some experiences in 2005-2006 when making a DVD title from micr$oft's powerpoint .app. I just wanted animation (transitions) slides in a DVD for mat with an audio track and "stop on chapter".
I feel the same these days with a workflow using KEYNOTE.app - just export the QT in APPLE ANIMATION CODEC at the correct res for the DVD SP3 input.
I can't account for the look of your menus though.. perhaps another unrelated issue.
I noticed that exporting as a QT movie looked ok until I noticed dreadful compression artifacts in the final M2V after the DVD was encoded.
Additionally, I noticed somilatr issues when using content created by MOTION.APP into a DVD SP3 workflow when letting DVD SP3 do BACKGRAOUND or BIULD encoding.
SO.. simpe rule for me is to always use APPLe's ANIMATION CODEC as the input source for any CGA type stuff.
Naturally the objects are rather large when using the ANIMATION CODEC so just delete these transient objects when your work in comlete. You can always create them again as you know.
varies to taste I image but always works for me.
worth a try!

Cursor and Menus jump

Hello
My cursor Stumbles, staggers and jumps. Menus don't stay open long enough to make a selection.
Here's what I've done: cleaned the mouse
ran Disk Utility and Tech Tool
shut down the computer, then unplugged it.
All of this resulted in SOME improvement, On a scale of 1-10, it used to be 10- now it's 8.
My hard drive still has 60 GB. Where did I go wrong
Thanks Joanne

Hi Joanne
If you had said that it was only the cursor acting up, I would have recommended checking for a dust bunny, a hair, dirt or something blocking the Optical sensor and then using a plain colored matte mouse pad instead of a glossy or wildly printed one.
However, because you are also having problems with the menu's closing I think that the mouse may also have an internal problem.
First I would try another mouse, almost any inexpensive USB mouse will work fine for the purpose of testing and troubleshooting the iMac.
Second I'm not sure exactly which mouse you have, but if it is the one that came with your iMac and you have Apple Care, then it would also be covered under you iMac's extended hardware warranty for 3 full years. > https://selfsolve.apple.com/GetWarranty.do

Soft images in Slideshow

When I go to view my images in View>Slideshow they are very soft almost blurred. The thumbnails are fine as are the preview images in Bridge.
If I left click on the image in slideshow and zoom on the image it becomes sharp, when I right click to zoom back to full image it becomes blurred again.
This is very annoying as I have used the manual slideshow in CS3 to quickly assess and rate my images with no problems.
What am I doing wrong? Please help

Most of the problems in slide show are realated to the video card or driver. Make sure you have the latest driver installed.
If this does not work in advanced preferences click "use software rendering" and see it that solves problem.

Image gallery/slideshow

Hi,
i want an slideshow/gallery for my site,
the perfect one is at http://uk.msn.com/
it's the first thing you see when you get there.
I've looked around and can't find a tutorial for it anywhere,
Does anyone know how this is made
or can give me a link to a tutorial?
Thanx

MSN is probably using something proprietary. Below you'll find some free slideshow and image gallery solutions that might work for you.

It does not look like this is possible with iTunes 11 (or 11.0.1).

I use a mac ios and shoot raw in a cannon 5d mark ii and shortly upon import of my images lightroom darkens and changes my images. This has happened before but not every time. The strange part is my last shoot had the same camera setting but this did not happen. The images i have now i can not use after lightroom has automatically altered them even if i try editing back to how they looked upon import

First thing to do is to change the default camera profile applied in Lightroom to camera standard (assuming that you shoot Canon or Nikon). Also make sure that your camera is NOT set up to use any of the HDR modes. Nikon calls those Active Dynamic Lighting. On Canons you often see things like highlight priority mode or "Auto Lighting Optimizer". Make sure that the picture style is set to standard and that for newer Canons the HDR mode is turned off. Most of the HDR modes simply underexpose the image and then add an instruction in the raw file to compensate for this to prevent highlights from being blown out. This causes more noise in the shadows and if you know what you are doing there is no point to this as you should simply expose correctly and get the highest quality raw.
Lastly, make sure that in Lightroom you have not checked "Apply Auto Tone Adjustments" in Preferences->Presets. This should make the default rendering of the raw files the same as the in-camera jpeg (what the camera shows on the back even if you shoot raw) but still give you all the latitude of raw files.

Select images using keywords and view slideshow...using what?

I have a library full of jpeg images that were created either using the export command from LR or by editing in Br/Ps and then savedAs jpeg. Now I want to watch slideshows on my monitor (30" Apple HD Cinema Display). Now I have the following Dilemma:
- I can start a Search Command in Bridge and narrow it down to exactly the images I want in my slide show. Then from the View menu select Slideshow. The IQ is terrible. True sharpness is only revealed when zooming in 100% but that's not the idea of a slide show.
- I can also use Apple OS's (Tiger) built-in slide show and start it from the finder. That way I get high quality, fast dissolving slide shows, that are unfortunately limited to the first 100 images in the Finder view. However, in the Finder I cannot select my images using keywords and IPTC info.
So could there be a simple solution to the problems I'm running into with Bridge?
Or could there be a nice viewer for MacOS that features the search option I want and renders good images and dissolve option?
Thanks.

@Ann Shelbourne: Thanks for your reply. I'm hesitant to upgrade to CS4 at this point. That would mean my only option is to look for a jpeg viewer other than Adobe that can select images based on keywords and iptc data. Would you know one that does?
@Ramon G Castaneda: I apologise for being an inexperienced forum visitor. I will take note of your advice and follow the posting instructions.
I checked FAQ's both here and at Adobe, as well as the knowledge base. No results. I also searched the forum.
My setup: MPB dual core Intel, 2GB RAM, 30GB free disk space. Adobe CS3, just updated to Bridge version 2.1.1.9. No improvement at all so far. According to Ann only CS4 will solve the problem.
Thank you.

How It Was Fixed (Possible Software Bug Not Hardware): Getting the iMac Screen/Menus Garbled and/or Yellow Circle Before Getting Into Finder Issues?

Hi. Possible fix done to my late- 2009 iMac's screen/graphics issue that may work God willing, hopefully for most [In my case it sometimes had that yellow circle that appears before it goes to the Finder but mostly it was a messed up desktop and menus (unreadable mostly) after months, prayers and weeks of fixing it; recommended to be read entirely first coz' it's a bit complicated (like a lot of subplots). If uncomfortable to try coz' it involved a GPU stress test, contact your authorized Apple service center for their advice]. I had an iMac (late 2009) screen garbling a few hours ago (was weeks ago when it resurfaced until it got worse that it's at every boot on Mavericks):
† I booted to Snow Leopard USB external (my back-up OS) drive then run the first person shooter at redeclipse.net. I set everything to max, including the display, resolution and graphics setting with fullscreen and v-sync on. I then refreshed it which brought it back to normal (I then tested it's stability with GPUTest 0.7 with Furmark for 15 minutes). * if the display options have been set to max before, bring it back to the default then refresh and then max it again Possibly any games that's has the graphic settings (or more advanced) of Red Eclipse could work (other free ones are Xonotic and Open Arena which are based on Quake 1 or 3s engine I believe).
Optional but not recommended (have warrantied if that's still available or have it repaired at authorized service centers):
If that doesn't work, review articles and videos on how to open an Intel iMac and get an iPhone/iPad/another way to get to the 'net ready for research (I opened mine very carefully on the right side with a cutter with blade extended far prying it carefully then I inserted a flat end, sturdy plastic used for mixing epoxy then removed the cutter carefully to let the plastic mixing tool do the prying) to see if the cable connected to the logicboard which is on top of, is connected (mine was detached but I'm not sure if the adjusting and tilting of the screen overtime for 2 & 1/2 years, detached it) then do † above again.
It could to be a software problem, a possible Apple ATI driver bug that takes overtime to surface (2 1/2 years it resurfaced because this started in my case after upgrading to Lion when Apple coded things mostly from the ground up. Snow Leopard didn't have this problem).
Thank you for your time. Have a great upcoming sunday mass/great upcoming weekend. I hope this helps.
God bless, Rev. 21:4, Matt. 16:18

Does an external display also act in a similar manner as the internal one?
Some earlier Intel-based iMacs had graphic processor card issues; not sure what
the symptoms of the majority of them were, but some had odd patterns, others
went black, and some would range from OK to totally unusable. Among others.
So there is a chance the graphic processor may be going out; or just the circuitry
that controls the backlight. An inverter may be weak or other circuit to the display
could be wearing out.
http://www.apple.com/retail/geniusbar/
If you have access to an Apple Store with Genius bar, they can perform some kinds
of diagnostic tests there even though the computer is out-of-warranty; that may be
of help to narrow down the cause of the symptoms you've noticed. They may not be
able to repair it, however, at an Apple Store; as it is rather old by today's standard.
An Apple Authorized Service Provider could do repairs and testing on older models
the Apple Store's Genius and other may not be set up to handle due to vintage.
Find an Apple Authorized Service Provider
Visit an Apple Retail Store
There is a country locator page to help find either of the above in regions outside
of the US & Canada, not sure how the above links would work; and it appears my
bookmarks to the country locator page may not be accessible now to post here.
You may be able to get an idea about what kinds of parts support the display
function by name by looking into an iFixit.com repair guide for your iMac series.
Hopefully the parts supporting the display are the reason it is dimming down, as
a graphic processor failure likely would exhibit other behaviors than just dimming.
PS: I see you've added content to your thread after I'd started working on this
& the answer likely is a hardware repair; professional testing is worth the time
and you seem to have at least one other thread on the same topic....
Good luck & happy computing!

Whenever I play youtube videos on my apple tv the youtube logo and menus are superimposed on the image. Any suggestions how to see just the video?

I am unable to figure out how to view a youtube video without the youtube logo and the menus superimposed over the image. Any suggestions?

Found the answer on my own; restart apple TV and menus no longer appear over videos and while playing music. However, viewing streaming video on airplay is not ideal. Sometimes the image freezes on the TV while it continues on my macbook. Also, sometimes the sound comes from the tv speakers; other times it comes only from the computer. Never know what will happen when I watch a streaming video.

My battery dies quicker than before, even without using the phone .aslo it shuts down unxpectedly (sometimes shuts down at 30% then i cant restart it until i blog it to the charger) and sometimes jumps from 40% to 20% or from 20% to 3%

hi!
my battery dies quicker than before, even without using the phone
aslo it shuts down unxpectedly (sometimes shuts down at 30% then i cant restart it until i blog it to the charger)
and sometimes jumps from 40% to 20% or from 20% to 3%
i have done many things people recommanded it for me like :
restore : i've done two restores and it gets better for the first 1-2 weeks then it gets worse than before.
also deleted my music list (19gb) in order to make this better (as recommended) but it still the same
my screen brightness is always ALWAYS low , almost the lowest.
i close the apps when i finish using them ALL OF THEM
i dont use the camera and flash , almost rarely. just to save battery.
i dont use the location service always.
i dont charge my phone until it shuts down and i dont unblog it until it reachs 100%
basically i have tried eveything.

Install or Reinstall OS X from Scratch
Be sure you backup your files to an external drive or second internal drive because the following procedure will remove everything from the hard drive.
Boot to the Recovery HD:
Restart the computer and after the chime press and hold down the COMMAND and R keys until the menu screen appears. Alternatively, restart the computer and after the chime press and hold down the OPTION key until the boot manager screen appears. Select the Recovery HD and click on the downward pointing arrow button.
Erase the hard drive:
1. Select Disk Utility from the main menu and click on the Continue button.
2. After DU loads select your startup volume (usually Macintosh HD) from the
      left side list. Click on the Erase tab in the DU main window.
3. Set the format type to Mac OS Extended (Journaled.) Optionally, click on
      the Security button and set the Zero Data option to one-pass. Click on
      the Erase button and wait until the process has completed.
4. Quit DU and return to the main menu.
Reinstall OS X: Select Reinstall OS X and click on the Install button.
Note: You will need an active Internet connection. I suggest using Ethernet if possible
           because it is three times faster than wireless.

Cs5 upgrade after DW8 - images issues and site jumping

Hi, hopefully you can help me as I have been on this now for two days straight.
I recently started using CS5 to design my websites and I really like it, I previously used DW8 and had no problems with it, but wanted to keep up with the changes hence the upgrade.
My problems started when I started to upload my site, at first a space started appearing after the images folder? and the images were all broken, I finally fixed that issue.
I have some code written which rotates the front page image everytime there is a refresh, and this code/file does not seem to be uploading to the web, so therfor the image is not showing or rotating.
Also, My new site keep jumping slightly, I have used the same template on another site and this works fine, built in DW8, but now this new site with the same template is causing me so many issues and im wondering if it was money well spent
I would like to know how to fix these problems and how to stop this from happening in the future??
This is the website with the issues- www.theadproject.co
Same template used at- www.mattaesuball.com
Im new to asking for help in these forums, so please let me know what else I can give you in order to get what i need help wise. Thank you

Me And Matt wrote:

That's due to the RHS browser scrollbar only appearing (correctly) on pages where the content is more than one screen deep.
Solution to the horizontal jog between pages (scrollbar/no scrollbar) is usually to force a scrollbar on every page regardless of content by adding the following CSS to your stylesheet.
html {
overflow-y: scroll;
http://css-tricks.com/eliminate-jumps-in-horizontal-centering-by-forcing-a-scroll-bar/
I see that your CSS rules are separately embedded in the <head> section of each page. Have you considered externalising it all to a single CSS file and linking to that one file from every page? Then you only have to update the CSS from a single file each time and every page will be updated.
Note: there's a typo in the heading (currently reads" The Ad Projcet") of http://www.theadproject.co/face2.html

Simple way to insert custom Jquery Slideshows and Plugins in Muse

Hi guys, I know the Adobe Muse team is working hard to make this revolutionary tool better by the day. They have done a lot of foundation work to get this tool up to this state. I say congrates guys keep the good work on.
But before we get to the promised land. I know a lot of 'creative non-coders' still want to take up the challenge of doing some cool stuff spread around the internet nowadays such as jquery fullscreen image slideshow, fullscreen image jquery sliders, etc. But Muse is not there yet. I believe the next release will enable designers to take advantage of the height feature missing right now(I just believe so, no insider hint, please don't quote me.).
Okay let me not bore you.
Now I have noticed you can bring any slideshow into Muse if you have the bravery to do it. It's so simple. See this: www.dynamicarchitecturaldesign.com.
The slideshow was a backstretch jquery plugin with some custom javascript to load the page before displaying the page.
The trick is, follow the instruction provided by the author of any of this script, especially the ones relating to the jquery-1.4min.js... jquery-1.7.min.js... upto the latest version that could possibly be available. Note: Adobe Muse also have almost the latest version of the jquery plugin. So after authoring your stuff in Adobe Muse, export as HTML then move and replace any of the code provided by the author of the code you intent to use with the one that Muse generates always:
<script src="http://musecdn.businesscatalyst.com/scripts/1.1/jquery-1.7.min.js" type="text/javascript"></script>
This is often placed toward thge bottom section before the closing </body> and </html> tags. Move it up to the head section using notepad or DW. Though this is not the intended workflow by the Muse team, but it gives you the edge to do stuff you want to do.

Okay Maurya, am suggesting the Muse dev team can take a cue from the edge team. In the publishing setting of Edge their is an option for Framework via CDN! Introducing this feature into Muse will go along way to enhance the workflow of psuedo-developers using Muse to cut down on web design time. if I have some jquery codes for slideshows and so on that I have lifted from some places or purchased on the internet, I can conveniently place the codes as usual where they need to be and on export indicate to Muse whether I want it to include its own code:
"http://musecdn.businesscatalyst.com/scripts/1.1/jquery-1.7.min.jswhich has been further modified in the new beta 2 release as:
<script type="text/javascript">
if (document.location.protocol != 'https:') document.write('\x3Cscript src="http://musecdn.businesscatalyst.com/scripts/1.1/jquery-1.7.min.js" type="text/javascript">\x3C/script>');
</script>
in the export and during publish (a publish setting kinda of could be added to the preference area) or use my own framwork that I have included in the head section. So Muse will not include the above jquery musecdn... in the publish version. That way you are giving us more control and winning more developers over to Muse and of course more money for Adobe . See screnshot in Adobe Edge:

Slideshow and Elements 11

Hello
I have a 20-minute clip which looks reasonable. I then have a related 20 still images which I would like to include maybe after the movie, but I don't really want to simply add them one after another. I was thinking more of a slideshow (not sure which software to do that in, though).
Is it possible to build a slideshow and then somehow incorporate it into Elements 11, or would I need to consider the movie and slideshow as two separate entities and just burn one after another seaparely onto a DVD?
Thanks again.
Steve

Steve
The main menu of the DVD template typically consists of a main menu and scene menu.
The main menu is characterized by a Play All (Movie) button to do just that and a Scene Selection button for the viewer to navigate directly to a particular scene in the movie that you have targeted by placing a scene marker at the beginning of Timeline image. But, many of the DVD Template main menu pages have a 3rd button. Sometimes it is called Main Menu, sometimes Bonus. It is that Bonus feature that we are going to take advantage of for your purposes. Check out menus such as Fun and Aquarium to see what I mean by Bonus button.
There are several variations on what you want to do:
The first does not use a stop marker to isolate the stills from the movie playback, the second one does...
1. Major movie at Timeline level...scene markers for the movie scenes that will be displayed in the Scene Selection Page of the DVD-VIDEO. At the end of the major movie, immediately place your stills. At the beginning of the first still place a main menu marker. Outcome...
a. From Main Menu, you can hit Play All to play straight throught from start of movie to last still on the Timeline.
b. From Main Menu, you can hit Scene Selection, can pick and choose what scene you want to see. But remember, if you have say 10 scene markers and click on 5th, the playback will be from 5th scene to the last still on the Timeline.
c. From Main Menu, you can hit Bonus and go directly to the stills where they will play back from the first to the last still and then return to the main menu.
2. Major movie at Timeline level..scene markers for the scenes that will be displayed in the Scene Selection Page of the DVD-VIDEO. At the end of the major movie, place a stop marker. Leave a few frames gap. Then place your stills. At the beginning of the first still place a main menu marker. Outcome...
a. From Main Menu, when you hit Play All, it will play from the start to the end of just the movie and then return to the main menu.
b. From the Main Menu, when you hit Scene Selection, can pick and choose what scene you want to see in the movie. Now if there are 10 movie scene markers and you click on 5th, the playback will be from 5th scene to the end of the movie, not to the end of the stills.
c. From Main Menu, you can hit Bonus and go directly to the stills where they will play back from the first to the last still and then return to the main menu.
If you are incorporating some aspects of the Elements Organizer into this work, please let me know and I will incorporate the appropriate integration details. A major perk in the Elements Organizer Slideshow Editor slideshow is that you can create a slideshow there, output it in a non wmv video format (.psess), and, once it gets to Premiere Elements, you can use Break Apart Elements Organizer Slideshow in order to do further work on the slideshow.
Please review and then let me know if any of that works for you.
Thanks.

Recovering slideshows and calendar after iPhoto6 crashes?

I installed iLife 06 yesterday (upgrade from iLife4). Very excited with the new features in iPhoto 6!
When I was building a calendar iPhoto unexpectedly crashed and shut down 4 times. I wasn't doing anything unusual. Each time iPhoto 6 opened up again my slideshows and calendar were there. Then it froze as I was scrolling through albums. I had to Force Quit to get out of it. When I reopened iPhoto all the slideshows I made earlier in the day were gone as well as the calendar I was working on, the settings I had for iPhoto (appearance etc) were also gone. It then went through a long process of reformatting (?) the thumbnail caches?
Is there any chance in recovering the slide shows and calendar? Anyway to prevent the loss of either items in the future? Does anyone know why iPhoto 6 kept crashing and closing on me in calendar mode?
I have ran utility and Tiger disc repair and everything checked out fine. Has to be something in iPhoto6. I do have quite a few high res pics (4,000+) but this new version is "supposed" to handle 250,000 photos.
Anyone have any thoughts, advice, kind words????
Many thanks as always for your help.
Bob

Hi
I may have the same issue as crags. I find that when I load iPhoto 06 it crashes almost everytime. I have watched what it does in Activity Monitor and as it loads it seems to use over 90% of my CPU and the memory usage just increases constantly even when it is marked as "not responding".
I have tried creating a new library (after which I imported my old library from a backup) and it worked fine for a couple days (although only when Pages was not open - possible conflict with iWork 06?) before it went back to crashing everytime I open it. I have reinstalled iPhoto (after removing the supporting files in Library) as some people have suggested and I am back to where I started.
Is there perhaps some cascading error that has to do with running OS X 10.4.6, iPhoto 06 and/or iWork 06?
If the library I imported was somehow corrupt, would it have to do with the images themselves or some other aspect of the library. I would like to preserve my tags as I have about 9500 images that have all been tagged as well as all my smart folders I don't want to lose.
At the same time I want iPhoto working properly. I have come to depend on it to handle my photos.
Help? Please?
