Importing images and setting longer than 10:00 length

Dear all, I have a very simple question. Whenever I import an image into my project, it is automatically set to length of 10:00. In the sequence viewer, I cannot drag it to make it longer than a certain length of time. So, I end up having to add several copy of the image.
How can I make the image I import have a longer length?
BTW, I am using this image as an overlay ontop of my video.

Import of images is controlled by Final Cut Express>User Preferences>General Tab.
Still/Freeze Duration can be set here to any duration you like.
You should be able to double click your still in the Timeline, it opens in the Viewer. Adjust the duration in the Top Left Timecode box. If clips are either side of the still in the Timeline it may not work as there won't be enough room for the duration to be longer.

  • Import image and set length

    hi,
    am a long time Premiere and AE user. Currently just testing the trial version of FCP X on a new project. also interested in Compressors distributed rendering.
    Q1:
    in the intro of a project I am using a clip where I want to blend in the brand logo of a company (tiff or PSD with neutral background) for about 6 secs, and then blend out.
    not a big deal in Premiere, just drag the PSD or Tiff in, set the length and blend, and you are done.
    How do I do that in FCP? couldn't find a way to set the length of time to display that tiff or psd (they are just fixed in length), and also neutral background was not easy to do.
    Q2:
    I do a lot of TimeLapse work for clients. for producing TL sequences, I usually just load a TL image sequence into AE, do the deflickering and then render a quicktime clip etc.
    how is this done in FCP X? importing a image sequence takes ages and does not lead to any result.
    thanks for any tips on both topics.
    cheers

    Q1.
    Select the image in the Event Browser and press 'Q' to apply it to the timeline as a connected clip (or if you prefer to apply the image to the primary storyline, press 'E' to append it to the end of the storyline, or 'D' to overwrite the storyline at the playhead position.
    All you need to do then is drag either end of the clip to extend it as much as you want to.
    Q2.
    'Import' - then check 'Image Sequence' and choose the first number in the sequence of images.

    Adobe Illustrator.  Your company logo should be a vector file.  Image files can be "Placed" in Illustrator.  Artwork created for printing can be drawn in Illustrator and saved as .ai, .eps, and .pdf files which can be imported into your printer's RIP.  But, check with your print vendors and see what they require.  This does not rule-out Photoshop, however Photoshop can be limited.  So, it would be a good idea to have Photoshop and Illustrator loaded in your workstation with Illustrator being the go-to application.

  • Aperture 3.3 updated. Importing images, can no longer access drive

    This has happened several times. Let me try and explain it a little better.
    I import images, step away from my computer, come back screen is blank (display asleep) the computer is not. I hit the space bar to bring it back to life and then try to do the next import. For some reason Aperture cant find the disk after that. I can get to it in finder and see the filesystem and folders.
    The only way I can get back into the library is to disconnect the drive, close aperture, plug the drive back in and start aperture. If I close aperture and re-open it, it says I dont have the proper permissions to open this library, checked that, I have read & write. I dont have this problem ising the drive with any other app.
    Never had this problem prior to upgrade & if I keep importing without the screen going dark it appears to stay working. Its very strange.
    Anyone?

    I am the person who first posted this question yesterday. After reading other postings this morning, I followed the advice to "restore" 3 Mozilla files which had been quarantined by Norton Internet Security yesterday. My Firefox 3.6.6 now works great. Also see:

  • My photoshop CC has suddenly stopped importing images and twain imprt too

    Hi I have a subscription to creative cloud. My photoshop cc has stopped importing images.
    When I try to bring an imagin into a PS layer PS suddenly quits on me. I windows message
    comes up saying PS will now close.  What to do?
    Upgrade to 2015 or reinstall? Or what...
    Thanks,
    Joe

    Two things to try:
    Reset Preferences  Hold down Ctrl-Shift-Alt while starting Photoshop and say yes to the reset.
    If that doesn't work, Uninstall/Clean/Reinstall.
    Use the CC Cleaner here. Use the CC Cleaner Tool to solve installation problems | CC, CS3-CS6
    It will delete any corrupt files or registry errors that the uninstaller missed, and then you can re-install.

  • I want resize the image and set position after retrieving from oracle datab

    How can I display image on web page after retrieving it from oracle database. Display is not problem but resize that image and position is very dificult .Please send me Guideline about blob object todisplay and resize it in web pages

    I tried to do the suggetion made by you but I was not able to solve the issue. I think I am close to it and with your help I should be able to resolve it. Let me explain you the brief about this issue.
    1. Another group uses Oracle Apex to load the images in to the database.
    2. I am fetching this data fron Oracle and displays in to Webpage using PHP.
    This is so far I tried. Please bear with me if I am doing anything wrong.
    1.I created program.php which calls the <IMG> as suggested by you.Snippet of the code is
    <div><img src="/oracle/image_story.php" alt="Image Stories" width="900" height="500" /></div>
    2. In the image_story.php, I used the following code.
    <?php
    $query = "SELECT *
              FROM IMAGE_STORY WHERE image_id = 50";
    if ($result = run_oracle($query, 'select')) { // Run the query.
         $num_results = count($result);
         if ($num_results > 0) {
         foreach($result as $row){
              $img = $row['DOCUMT']->load();
              header("Content-type: image/pjpeg");
              echo $img;
              //echo '<div><img src="'.$img.'" alt="Image Stories" width="900" height="500" /></div>';
    ?>
    When I run the program.php,Image is not displayed and it is showing as "X". To troubleshoot the issue,I run the image_story.php and echo $img is giving me the weird character like,
    "ÿØÿàJFIFddÿìDuckyPÿîAdobedÀÿÛ„          
    I used PL/SQL developer as a client to access the BLOB field from the database and in the HTML view, it is giving me the same output.
    Select * from image_story a where a.image_id = 50
    I am not sure the issue is with the MIME-TYPE,ENCODING or I am missing something here. I tried lot of Content-Type.
    Please guide me.

  • The entire side moves a bit (in the browser) when the content gets longer than a certain length...

    The master (and all contents) move a few pixles (when watching it in the browser) when a side is longer than 809 pixles.
    The sidesettings are set to 600 pixles minimum. Does not happen (it all stays in place) when the content fits in 809 pixles or less.
    Why?? How do I solve it? Really frustrating...

    Hi
    I'm seeing similar issues from W2003 server, and 9iR2 on W2003.
    I can pinpoint it to exact amount of bytes, but when the connections are reset from the web server, and the problem arises again it's a different length that is the problem.
    As a result we switched to System.Data.OracleClient for the 9iR2 DB's and use the ODP.NET for the 10gR2 installations. These two combinations seems to be less affected by this problem.

  • After importing received and set messages from Opera Mail, Thunderbird works fine but does not save sent messages to Sent folder, even though messages are sent

    I successfully imported messages from Opera Mail. Initially the Sent mailbox was not showing in Thunderbird. A quick removal and fresh installation solved that, but Thunderbird does not save the sent messages to the Sent box, where the imported Opera Mail messages are stored. Even though messages are not saved, they are sent correctly. The image attached shows the error message.

    Probably a name-confuse If you store sent on mailserver it has to have the right name. (subscribe)
    You could set up under Account settings / copies and folders (maps) Sent pointing to the right local folder.

  • How does one import images and maintain the sorting order?

    i'm trying to import 59 images (1024 x 768 png files) into keynote. i want them to create a series of image slides with 1 image/slide and keep them in the order i.e. sorted by image file name such as:
    image001.png
    image002.png
    image003.png
    and so on.
    i've tried dragging and dropping these images onto the navigator sidebar but the images get out of order randomly.
    has anyone encountered this? this seems like a bug.
    thanks,
    matt

    hi marcus.
    thanks for the suggestion.
    while i have not tried your solution yet, i'll bet that it'll work and you're correct, it would be faster than rearranging the slides later. it drives me crazy that what i'm trying to do does not work out of the box. if there's one thing apple promotes in its apps its got to be drag and drop. that this does not yet work is nutty.
    good luck,
    matt

  • How to list long file names and paths longer than 260 characters in vbscript?

    Hi there,
                   I have looked in different posts and forums, but couldn't find an answer to my question.
    So, here it is... imagine the small piece of code attached below. I need to be able to iterate and rename recursively (I didn't include the recursive part of the code in order to keep things simple) through files and folders in an user selected path. I thought that by using vbscript FileSystemObject I would be able to do so.
    Unfortunately, it seems like the Files method does not detect files whose path is larger than the OS 260 (or 256?) character limit. How could I do it so? Please, don't tell me to use something different than vbscripts :-)
    Thanks in advance!
    Set FSO = CreateObject("Scripting.FileSystemObject")
    Set objFolder = FSO.GetFolder(Path)
    Set colFiles = objFolder.Files
    For Each objFile In colFiles
    Wscript.Echo "File in root folder:" & objfile.Name
    Next

    Yes, that describes the problem, but not the solution - short of changing the names of the folders. There is another solution.  That is, to map a logical drive to the folder so that the path to subfolders and files is shortened.  Here is a procedure that offers a scripted approach that I use to map folders with long names to a drive letter and then opens a console window at that location ...
    Dim sDrive, sSharePath, sShareName, aTemp, cLtr, errnum
    Const sCmd = "%comspec% /k color f0 & title "
    Const bForce = True
    if wsh.arguments.count > 0 then
      sSharePath = wsh.arguments(0)
      aTemp = Split(sSharePath, "\")
      sShareName = aTemp(UBound(aTemp))
      cLtr = "K"
      with CreateObject("Scripting.FileSystemObject")
        Do While .DriveExists(cLtr) and UCase(cLtr) <= "Z"
          cLtr = Chr(ASC(cLtr) + 1)
        Loop
      end with
      sDrive = cLtr & ":"
    Else
      sDrive = "K:"
      sSharePath = "C:\Documents and Settings\tlavedas\My Documents\Script\Testing"
      sShareName = "Testing"
    end if
    with CreateObject("Wscript.Network")
      errnum = MakeShare(sSharePath, sShareName)
      if errnum = 0 or errnum = 22 then
        .MapNetworkDrive sDrive, "\\" & .ComputerName & "\" & sShareName
        CreateObject("Wscript.Shell").Run sCmd & sDrive & sShareName & "& " & sDrive, 1, True
        .RemoveNetworkDrive sDrive, bForce
        if not errnum = 22 then RemoveShare(sShareName)
      else
        wsh.echo "Failed"
      end if
    end with
    function MakeShare(sSharePath, sShareName)
    Const FILE_SHARE = 0
    Const MAX_CONNECT = 1
      with GetObject("winmgmts:{impersonationLevel=impersonate}!\\.\root\cimv2")
        with .Get("Win32_Share")
          MakeShare = .Create(sSharePath, sShareName, FILE_SHARE, MAX_CONNECT, sShareName)
        end with
      end with
    end function
    sub RemoveShare(sShareName)
    Dim cShares, oShare
      with GetObject("winmgmts:{impersonationLevel=impersonate}!\\.\root\cimv2")
        Set cShares = .ExecQuery _
          ("Select * from Win32_Share Where Name = '" & sShareName & "'")
        For Each oShare in cShares
          oShare.Delete
        Next
      end with
    end sub
    The SHARE that must be created for this to work is marked as having only one connect (the calling procedure).  The mapping and share is automatically removed when the console window is closed.  In the case cited in this posting, this approach could be applied using the subroutines provided so that the user's script creates the share/mapping, performs its file operations and then removes the mapping/share.  Ultimately, it might be more useful to change the folder structure, as suggested in the KB article, since working with the created folders and files will still be problematic - unless the drive mapping is in place.Tom Lavedas

  • Captured & imported image, and driver package not going to DP

    I have an image I've imported and even though I've selected "Distribute Content" manually it does not go to DP.   I checked everything I could think of (making sure DP was set to service the boundary group, etc.), but it still won't go.  
    In status, it says "in process".  
    Question - do I need image/properties/package share settings "copy the content in this package to a package share on distribution points" selected to enable this image to be sent to the DP?
    Under Distribution Settings - do I need to select "Distribute the content for this package to a preferred DP..." and any recommendations on if this should be sent to Automatically, Download only changes, or Manual?
    Similarly, I also noticed my Driver Package had also not been sent to the DP, so my question applies to that as well.  After creation, do these settings need to be selected?
    Thank you
    Nathan

    Hi,
    The reason why this happens is a combination of the following two reasons:
    - You enabled for prestaged content in the distribution point.
    - Go to the properties of the image, on the "Distribution Settings" tab the radio button is set to "Manually copy this content to the distribution point".
    Enabling the prestaging option on a DP will tell the DP to not receive content automatically. It is waiting until an administrator copied *.pkgx files manually to it and registers them using extractcontent.exe. That might be useful for DPs at the end of very
    small WAN links.

  • Importing Images and iPad crashes

    I am importing about 230 images from my Droid, which is being replaced Thursday by the iPhone 4, but I cant finish because the app crashes. Any ideas?

    I had same problem with sd card reading onto my ipad using the camera connection kit. Photos from one camera would import ok but not from the other. I read on another forum where a guy solved it by changing the time format from 12 hour to 24 hour in ipad settings. My ipad was already set to 24 hour format so I did the opposite and switched it to 12 hour. This solved the problem and the couple of hundred photos imported straight away.
    Maybe my two cameras are using different time formats, not certain as I haven't investigated further.
    Hope this helps.
