Jittering in Leopard QT Movies when displayed in OS 10.3.9

I have several QT movies made when running my current OS (Leopard 10.5.4 which has QuickTime 7.3 Pro) using Final Cut Express 4. When I put those QT movies into my DVD Studio Pro 3.0 project running OS 10.3.9, they jitter badly on slow pans but display perfectly in OS 10.3.9's QuickTime Player (QT 7.1.3 Pro). Other earlier QT movies made in the same way but in FCE 3.0 running OS 10.3.9 display perfectly in my DVD SP project. It looks as though there is something different in the movies made under QT 7.3 which display OK in QT 7.1.3 + OS 10.3.9 but not in DVD SP 3.0 + OS 10.3.9.
While running OS 10.3.9 I have loaded the troublesome QT movies into QT Player and Saved As... under another name but jittering remains in DVD SP. Is there some way that I can convert my troublesome QT movies to remove the jittering? Perhaps by loading them into a non-Apple software and exporting as QT? Or by loading the troublesome movies into FCE 4 + Leopard and exporting from FCE using QT Conversion, and if so what settings under "Options".
(For the avoidance of puzzlement, here is why I am alternating between OSs: Most of my QT movies were made in FCE 3.0 + OS 10.3.9, and all of my DVD SP 3.0 project was and continues to be made in OS 10.3.9 When I upgraded to Leopard I found that FCE 3.0 would not work properly so I upgraded to FCE 4. I cannot upgrade DVD SP 3.0 because it is no longer available as a stand-alone software but only as part of the hugely expensive Final Cut bundle most of which I do not need. I therefore continued to make more QT movies in FCE 4 + Leopard and then put them into my DVD SP project in OS 10.3.9. All seemed OK until I noticed the jittering. I have several troublesome movies and want to avoid re-editing them from scratch in FCE 3.0 + OS 10.3.9).
Ideas would be appreciated. Thanks

  • When displaying a pdf file, the scrollbar in ffx4 never moves

    whenever i open a pdf file in ffx 4, the scrollbar on the side never moves when i scroll down the file. the scrollbar only moves when the cursor is positioned in the scrollbar area and it just jumps to where it must be in the file. however, the scrollbar never works when scrolling. the problem has been persisting since at least ffx4b9 and it really is a surprise that mozilla just can't fix it! tried reinstalling ffx, reinstalling plugin, reinstalling adobe reader, you name it, but it just never works!!!

Keep in mind, if you add any side padding or border to the div itself, it will be added to the width you define to create the *total* width. You may also choose to remove the padding on the element in the div and place a second div within it with no width and the padding necessary for your design.

    That's what APDivs do.  This is the single most common problem new people have with web page layouts.  DO NOT use positioning.  You don't need it.  Start over.  Learn to use CSS floats, margins and padding to align elements.

  • I updated to snow leopard recently and when i turned on my macbook every file from pictures and music was on my desktop.. are these copies? is there an easy way to put them where they belong like music with itunes, pictures in iphoto and so on

    Hi, I updated to snow leopard recently and when I turned my macbook back on icons from every file of pictures and music i have were all over my desktop
    how can i get them to all go to their programs like music to itunes, pictures to iphoto,  do I have to do it individually? thanks for any help

    If the icons have a black arrow bottom left corner, then the icons are just aliases, not the Application itself. You can move those icons to the Trash.

  • How do I limit what movies are displayed at the top on the main screen

    Is there any way to limit what movies are displayed at the top on the main screen when menu Computers are selected?
    Currently it shows ALL of the content in the Movies folder in iTunes, but I would like to not show my 1 million 5-second videoclips and only the "real" movies.
    Any suggestions?
    Thanks in advance
    Bjoern Dirchsen

    I think you are right. It's the latest videos added that are displayed first. Makes sense.
    I'm using a PC so it's a bit hard to work with iPhoto . However, your comment did give me a hint to how to solve the problem.
    I moved all my video-clips out of my Movies folder and into my Pictures folder.
    Then I changed Photo Sharing in Itunes to include Videos
    And voila! The main screen now shows only my "real" movies. Sorted by latest added - but I guess that's the best we can do.
    Thanks for a super-fast answer.

  • Text Moves When Zooming/Printing

    Hi everyone,
    My wife is going to school for graphic design and is having a huge problem with InDesign. When placing text in very precise locations, the text moves when she zooms in/out significantly. Even when it shows the text being in the perfect location at 100% (although it is not perfect when zooming in or out), it will be moved when the file is exported as a PDF or printed. Needless to say this is causing major problems for her. We have already reset the program preferences with no luck. She is using the Design Premium CS5.5 version of InDesign on a MacBook Pro with OSX Lion.
    As a side note, I tried the same tasks on my Windows 7 PC with Design Standard CS5 with no problems. We compared the program settings and made sure there were no differences but it still happened on her Mac. Any help is greatly appreciated. Thanks!
    Aaron

    Hi everyone,
    I'm really sorry for the delay. I took screenshots at each zoom where the type shifted. Here are the screenshots:
    @4000%
    @300%
    @125%
    @100%
    The reason that I don't believe it is simply monitor inconsistencies is due to the fact that whether I align the type at 4000% or 100%, the print still doesn't match the on-screen display. If I align at 100%, the print is still off by the same amount as these screenshots. Thanks again for your help.

  • All photos in portrait format are displayed blurred in the preview mode "fill" of the library. In all other modes e.g. "fit"or "1:2" the photos are sharp. How can I change this, so that the photos are still sharp when displaying them in the mode "fill"?

    All photos in portrait format are displayed blurred in the preview mode "fill" of the library. In all other modes e.g. "fit"or "1:2" the photos are sharp. How can I change this, so that the photos are still sharp when displaying them in the mode "fill"? My Lightroom release is 5.7.1.
    Thanking you in anticipation!

    I'd like to get all these '-1 suffix' files together with their associated Develop adjustments into one folder (if they aren't already) so I can see them in Grid view in the Library module, which I use as my basic starting point for everything else at this early stage of my Lightroom 'career'.
    To see what folder these are stored in, right-click on a photo and select "Go to Folder in Library".
    Advice: if you are going to use Lightroom effectively, you probably want to stop using folders as your method to create a grouping of photos that are already in Lightroom; there are plenty of built-in tools, such as keywords, collections, color labels, etc.
    I don't understand why the search on the entire catalog picked up apparently the same two file versions but also got the Develop adjustments when going to the relevant Folder didn't show the adjustment black squares against each image in Grid view nor were they there when the images were opened in the Develop module.  Perhaps if I understood this, I'd be a bit more confident of moving forward myself.
    These are most likely different versions of the same photo, in different folders. Lightroom stores the edits in its own catalog, and so it knows that one folder's photos have edits, and the other folder's photos do not have edits. Please understand that Lightroom is a database, it knows where the photos are at the time you import them (or add them to the catalog by synchronize), and then if you move things around in your operating system, Lightroom does not know anything about that and problems begin. Thus the advice to organize using Lightroom tools and methods and not operating system tools and methods.

  • When displaying multiple curves on one 2d graph in reports how do I force one curve to be in the foreground?

    When displaying multiple curves on one 2d graph in reports how do I force one curve to be in the foreground? I have two signals and I want to show one overlayed on top of the other. Right now Diadem will only graph it the other way around. I have tried deleting the curves and re-adding them in differnt orders, changin the order they are in the curve list, changing their order inthe data portal, right clicking on the curve and selecting "move to forground" (this only moves the entire 2-d graph object to the foreground). Im using Diadem 12.0 Basic.
    Solved!
    Go to Solution.

    Hello Joe,
    I figured out what causes your curves to draw in the wrong "order".
    You are using two Y-axes, and DIAdem always draws the data for Y1 before Y2, no matter what the order of the curves is in the "Curve and Axis Definition" dialog.
    I am attaching your layout with a small modification, I changed the Y1 and Y2 axis order (I swapped which Y-axis the data is displayed on), and I get the following result:
    Once I looked at your layout it became clear why the order of the curves didn't reflect the order in which the curves were drawn. I didn't know this - so I just learned something new here as well.
    I hope this answers your question, feel free to ask if there is anything else I can help you with.

  • Folders on Desktop move when file dragged to them

    With Firefox 3 we now see an annoying behaviour in the Finder (MacOS 10.4.11.) When the Desktop has "Keep arranged by..." turned off (necessary due to the Finder's slow refresh in MacOSX), if we drag an image from Firefox onto the closed folder the folder moves. In some instances it moves to the center of the screen (so it's then hidden behind the browser window) and in others it moves to the location where it was created. This happens with images (gif, png, jpg...) but not with dragged text or links.
    We deleted all our .DS_Store files and Finder prefs/plists but folders still move when an image is dragged to them. We see this on both our two MacBook Pros, and even with a newly created account.
    A workaround is to use "Save Image As..." instead of dragging but ten+ years of habit and muscle memory make this undoable.
    Has anyone else seen this and can anyone suggest a solution?

    Not a solution but possible prevention:
    Performance tip: Keep the Desktop clutter-free (empty, if possible)
    Mac OS X's Desktop is the de facto location for downloaded files, and for many users, in-progress works that will either be organized later or deleted altogether. The desktop can also be gluttonous, however, becoming a catch-all for files that linger indefinitely.
    Unfortunately - aside from the effect of disarray it creates - keeping dozens or hundreds of files on the Desktop can significantly degrade performance. Not necessarily because the system is sluggish with regard to rendering the icons on the desktop and storing them in memory persistently (which may be true in some cases), but more likely because keeping an excessive number of items on the Desktop can cause the windowserver process to generate reams of logfiles, which obviously draws resources away from other system tasks. Each of your icons on your desktop is stored as a window in the window server, not as an alias. The more you have stored, the more strain it puts on the window server. Check your desktop for unnecessary icons and clear them out.
    Keeping as few items as possible on the Desktop can prove a surprisingly effective performance boon. Even creating a single folder on your Desktop and placing all current and future clutter inside, then logging out and back in can provide an immediately noticeable speed boost, particularly for the Finder.

  • WiFi shuts down when display goes to sleep

    Often when my display goes to sleep, my wifi disconnects. As soon as move the mouse or press a button, the screen goes on, the wifi reconnects. This is specially annoying when I'm using the Boxee streaming to my Boxee box, suddenly the stream stops as the screen has shut off, and the wifi with it.
    Any idea how to fix this?

    Good point! I think this is a new setting or so as my old MBA never did this.
    In Energy Saver settings I have now clicked in "Prevent computer from sleeping when display is off"
    This should solve it.
    Funny there's no setting for actually sleeping the computer?

  • Pismo Power cuts away when display adjusted

    Hi all, I dig these forums, and am here because I'm stuck. I have a PB Pismo, and it works great...except when I physically move the display, open or closing it, or moving it forward or back...then the power goes dead. Very annoying. I can't figure this out...why would the computer lose its power simply when moving the display? I'm pretty good at tinkering but this baffles me. Please help. David
    G3 Pismo   Mac OS X (10.3.9)  

    I forgot to add...there is a crack behind the display on the right handside. I've checked the connections from the display into the computer itself, and all the connections are solid. If I just touch the display, and move it two inches forward or two inches back, the power goes out. Other than that the PB works fine. So could this mean that it's the monitor itself? Any suggestions?

  • The desktop of MacBookPro is cut when displayed in the 27"LED cinema disply

    the desktop of MacBookPro is cut when displayed in the 27" LED cinema display although the resolution of the display is 2560 x 1440 how can i make it cover all the display ?
    i found a resolution with comment called stretch but i didn't like the quality
    Regards

    Try moving the cursor off both the left and right sides of the MBP's display. It could be the displays are just not arranged as you expect them.
    This can be altered by going into Displays Preferences and, under the Arrangement tab, you can move the small blue rectangles, meant to represent the two displays, into an order which matches their true arrangement.

    Hello danlee58.
    If possible, please document the error pattern that appears on the LED display of the printer.  A letter and one or two numbers should be alternating.

  • If I move the display my pismo loses power

    Hi all, I have a pismo, and it works great...except when I physically move the display forward or back an inch. Then the power cuts out. Goes dead. It'll start up again okay but if I move it at all, it dies. The backside of the display does have a small crack in it, made by yours truly when I took the display housing off to install a new motherboard. I'm pretty good with these, and am wondering if I need a complete new display and housing, or if there's a part in there that just needs fixing, or if it's something in the pb itself. Anyone have any ideas?

    David,
    I don't believe a bad display or damaged data or inverter cables can shut the 'book down. I believe that when you move the display, you are torquing/stressing the main body and this is somehow causing a circuit to open. With the display open at 90º to the body and the powerbook running, pick up the powerbook by each corner, each end, or if necessary hold it in your hands and gently twist it...see if it will shut down. I would try the same if you have not done so on battery-only in addition to the power adapter.
    I cannot tell you which component is at fault, but users who have had similar problems were usually able to correct it by a disassembly and careful reassembly while looking closely at all connections.
