Jittery video on DVD but only on Motion clips

I have tried importing Motion clips into FCP 5 both as motion files and Quicktime files so I'm assuming that isn't the problem. I have turned the field order ? in the Sequence Settings to none and turned it to none when exporting into Compressor. Thinking maybe it was an interlace/progressive problem. I guess I am asking what is the typical protocol when using motion effects with SD video in FCP to make it look clear? Do to time constraints any help would be greatly appreiciated. Thanks,

I am using NTSC DV and I tried leaving the field order at lower and still the video is all over the place. The fire effect from Motion looks great but the SD DV I placed with the fire is what is jittery.
How do you set the Motion project to DV?

HELP! MacBook Pro cant recognise or burn DVDs but only CDs, and...

Hi all
I noticed that there many of you have the same problem, but I really need some advice here, my MacBook Pro cant recognise or burn DVDs but only CDs, well actually occasionally it does recognise the DVDs then it burn but cannot write (on Toast), also in many other apps, like iDVD or DVDSP, it does run well on the first part of the burning but then failed at the end, with all kinda diff error msg. I have tried using many diff brands of disc too, inc verbatim.
So I borrowed my friends external DVD writer (actually a cheapy one with no brand), when I tried to burn using the external then an error msg comes up and says the writer cannot recognise the disc.
I dont wana get the MBP to repair but just wana get a external DVD writer to solve the problem, cos i need to use my computer and dont have a replacement mac, but now I am worry if the problem i now having is a system problem or just hardware, not sure if it is because the DVD writer i borrow is cheapy so it doesnt cope with mac, or just my MBP have system error that cant burn DVDs...
But my MBP can burn CDs so it is not a hardware problem? and if that is a system problem so even I buy a new DVD writer wont solve the problem?
btw, I have tried many solving methods like rewriting permission, reset PVRAM, etc
PLSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSS HELP

I'm having the same problem you are on my 2.4GHZ Core2Duo MBP running 10.5.2. It will sometimes recognize DVDs, sometimes not... it chuggs and clunks and then spits the disc out. If i re-insert it a view times it will show up on the desktop. I get failures from Toast as well as iDVD. If i keep trying i have been able to burn files onto a disc with the finder, but then the burner fails during the verification. If put the disc back in the contents appear to be correct (after a quick look). Burning CD-Rs seems to be working fine, that with the occasional DVD write seems to point away from the HW. I am trying with both Memorex DVD+RW and Verbatim DVD-Rs...
I have tried the command/option-PR reset combo with no luck.
Any ideas?
thanks,

PS the specific error i got from iDVD was: The error #-2147352539 was reported…

Live SWF video Plays Locally But Only The Skin is Visible Remotely.

Hi Guys,
I have tested other embedded videos and they will play remotely so I know the hosting site is working.   Can anyone please look and tell me what I can try to make the vid work?   Currently, the live video will play locally and remotely from this computer where all the files are stored but only the skin is visible on any other remote computer's web browser.
I will post any info you ask for.   I have been working on this forever.   Please, someone who is good at this help me?
Here are my files look (I can't figure out how to blow this up larger - can you see it?):
I will try whatever you suggest.
Chris
P.S.   My live video is being broadcast by Adobe Flash Media Encoder to Adobe Flash Media Server 4 and inserted into Dreamweaver. Dreamweaver Support watched me re-create the Flash file and import into Dreamweaver and we looked at it for hours together. In the end, they suggested I post here because we could not figure it out / it is not supported. Ideas?   Can I provide any other helpful info?P.S. The Adobe Dreamweaver Tech Support said to post here and that the Expertise Team (you I suppose) would figure it out. I am running Windows 7 64-bit OS.

According to you since the stream published by FMLE to FMS is playing fine on the other players even remotely, it doesn't look like FMS problem.
But could you please eloborate the logic you are using in your player?

Video From DVD(DvdxDv)Only Half Size

A client sent me video on a dvd to add to a project. After using DVDxDV, the QT movie is 352x480, and only shows half(Left side)of the original video. Now, I figure it was downloaded from their site at a bad setting, but if the info is there while looking at it in mpeg-2(DVD), I figure, somehow to be able to get a fool pic, even if the resolution blows. Any help is appreciated.

Converting to quicktime mpeg1 from mpeg2, but FCP said it was an usupported framerate. Brought it into Compressor and converted to 422, and now am able to get it into FCP with a full view. Interesting, the frame rate, before 422, said 29.96.

Imported video from DVD but no Audio

I burned a DVD with my DVD recorder and imported it to a media file and then dragged the file into FCE2. The video plays in the viewer, but no audio. The audio plays in QuickTime Player. I've trashed my preferences and restarted my G4 computer--all to no avail!

And here's a link to MPEG Streamclip on Version Tracker.

Need several buttons that each target a video cue point but only one works

I have the code that works for one button to find a cue point but how can I make this work for several buttons and their respective cue points?
"seek-btn2" to find cue 2(named "lou2")
import fl.video.*;
// Video component instance name
var flvControl:FLVPlayback = display;
var flvSource:String = "lou.flv";
// Set video
flvControl.source = flvSource;
// Add seek functionality to the button
function seekHandler(event:MouseEvent):void
flvControl.seekToNavCuePoint("lou1")
//seek_btn is the button instance name
seek_btn.addEventListener(MouseEvent.CLICK, seekHandler);
when i repeat the last part of the code it does not work, thanks for your time....

Thanks but where would I insert that code and what would I take out from the original code I posted?
i tried this....
import fl.video.*;
// Video component instance name
var flvControl:FLVPlayback = display;
var flvSource:String = "lou.flv";
// Set video
flvControl.source = flvSource;
seek_btn1.cuePointName = new String();
seek_btn1.cuePointName = "lou1";
seek_btn1.addEventListener(MouseEvent.CLICK, onButtonPress);
seek_btn2.cuePointName = new String();
seek_btn2.cuePointName = "lou2";
seek_btn2.addEventListener(MouseEvent.CLICK, onButtonPress);
// onButtonPress function
private function onButtonPress(evt:MouseEvent):void {
flvControl.seekToNavCuePoint(evt.target.cuePointName);

I can import my first clip to the video library, but not the second clip. I tried dragging-dropping and using the "E" key, but only the first clip will show up in the library. I use IMovie 9.0.9 and OSX 10.8.5. with no problems until yesterday.

I can drag my first clip from the New Event window into the Project Library, but not the second. I can highlight the second clip in the New Event window, but it won't "drag". The "E" key works for the first clip, but not the second.I've been using IMovie daily and the problem just appeared. No upgrades to the computer and no new software installed. IMovie 9.0.9 and OSX 10.8.5

Thanks victoryhat. I learned some new things from this very clear tutorial. But it didn't answer my question about why the titles don't stay with the video when I export it.
He did mention something that might be a clue however. When he talked about importing a title he created as an image, he noted that he was careful to make the image the same size as the video he was adding it to: 1280 x 720. Since I took the video with an iPhone in the vertical position, my video image isn't the same size and orientation as the titles.
Maybe there is a way I should be setting the screen for this size??? I'll go back and play around. Meanwhile thanks for alerting me to Gary Rosenzweig's MacMost tutorials. Very clear. I'll look for more.

DVD@cess not working on DVD but only simulator

Hello:
Tried many times to get this to work, finally got DVD SP 2 in simulator to automatically open pdf folder when a certain menu is selected...but when I burned a DVD, though the folders are there on the disc (one folder but many pdfs in it), it doesn't launch at all when menu is selected - have to manually click on them after opening the DVD...how can this work correctly? This doesn't work either on MAC or PC.
Thanks much
KB

Thanks very much for the reply - details are... this DVD (called DVD for test purposes) has @ccess enabled in both DVD SP 2 simulator and DVD player on the MAC G5...have 3 menus, home menu has 3 button choices -
•a track
•a menu that should launch the folder with 5 other folders in it, each of them containing 1 to 3 pdfs in them
•one menu that is to launch a web site.
The web site menu DOES launch correctly in simulator on a build/burn of DVD.img...and on the DVD itself.
Problem is - in simulator the link to the one folder with the 5 folders in it (containing 12 pdfs) DOES work, ie the menu launches a pop up window that lets the viewer see the 5 folders available...they could then choose which one to open...However, when build/burn either a DVD.img (on my desktop) or a DVD, though the web site link menu DOES work, the menu with the pdfs folders does not launch either on the G5 or PC laptop.
I understand that the PC business is "if-y" at best, but wonder why even the G5 won't do this?
Links look like this - menu to launch the pdfs folder -
DVD@ccess = checked...name = many pdfs...URL = file:///dvd/IWICS artwork...everything spelled correctly, etc.
DVD-ROM = content -checked...location = users/kentbeeson/desktop/4DVD...Joliet Extension Support = checked
Have I got wrong info in my file paths to where it'll work in simulator but not on DVD?
Thanks for help

IMovie import from handycam results in juddering - but only on one clip!

I have one clip on my Sony HDR-SR5 which iMovie 8 doesn't seem to be able to import cleanly.
This one clip appears to import with no issues but when I play it back in iMovie the image judders. The sound is absolutely fine and the original movie on the camera plays perfectly. The imported iMovie event makes everyone in the film look like they have palsy.
There are some other clips on the camera too which cause iMovie to crash as soon as it tries to import them, but that's a separate matter. I have successfully imported about 30 other clips from the camera so far, some of which are from either side of these rogue clips. They are all HD clips and all were taken using the same settings.
Does anyone have any ideas why this might happen, and what I can do to get around it?
Message was edited by: Carl Bradbury

Mmmm, doesn't it just do your head in when you want something to go wrong and it doesn't.
I took my camera out to the garden and took some quite violent panning shots to test in various workflows. Back at my mac I connected the camera and opened imovie, played the clip in preview in the import window - no judder - a little ghosting but that's to be expected.
Imported at best quality and played this back in imovie, again- no judder - a little ghosting but that's to be expected, was really quite surprised I didn't have judder and a little disappointed since my intention was to import the clip in parallels using the sony supplied software and see if I could see a difference.
I exported the movie at the large setting- no judder. Mmmm
Not deterred I continued the test, imported using the sony software (gee, it just reminds me why I use a mac) and exported to mpeg2, which is the only option available. The first thing I noticed was the interlacing which no matter what I did I couldn't get rid of, strange but of no worry since this isn't what I was testing for, but the video did judder.
Exactly what conclusion I can draw from this I really don't know, but if sony software gives us these issues as it seems to do, I guess we can't point too many fingers at imovie.

Dvd drive does not read dvd but reads cd only.

my hp compaq 420 core2 duo dvd drive does not read the dvds but only reads the cds. How can i solve this problem, please help me with the correct answer.
This question was solved.
View Solution.

It will likely require replacement of the drive. There is more than one laser in there: one for each function. One can go bad without the other going bad.

FX5600U 128 VTD Video to DVD

OK I finally installed the Video capture drivers properly for this card (ie the ones not including a TV Tuner driver) and everything seems to have gone in ok with no more errors.
I want to transfer loads of old home video to DVD but I feel as though I'm groping around in the dark. What do I need now? I've got Nero DVD burning s/w and a DVD-R writer I assume I need some software to capture the video in, manipulate it then write it to DVD. Can someone point me to good, esy to use (cheap) s/w that does this. Am I right in assuming the Audio out from the VCR is connected to Line in of the sound card and Vout is connected to Vin of the FX5600.
Help please.

Quicktime Launches on CNBC but Only Plays Commercials

Quicktime flip4mac launches when playing a video on CNBC but only plays the commercial - and then stops-when using Safari.
It does not continue on playing the news item.
Is there a setting I need to change on some application?
It will play if I use Opera, Firefox or Camino -
The Quicktime Player launches and plays everything.
I wish it would play in Safari.
I have all the updates for Quicktime, Flip4mac etc.

If you had no problems playing the videos on other browsers, then it seems to me the problem is not QT but with Safari in the way it is handling the CNBC site.
*A couple of things to try:*
To fix a QT related problem w/Safari, quit Safari & look in the /Library/Internet Plug-Ins folder (this is the Library folder at the root level of your HD, not the one inside your Users/user name folder).
Try removing the VLC Plugin.plugin (if you have it) & *QuickTime Plugin.webplugin files from this folder, & then relaunch Safari. If the problem isn’t fixed, a different plug-in may be to blame. Keep removing files from this folder (start with any third-party plug-ins that are present) until the problem disappears.
Replace the plug-ins that don’t cause any problems.
MacAddict Magazine...12/06
*Edited by Baby Boomer
=======================
Rosetta
If you have an Intel-based Mac, running Safari in Rosetta can also resolve some QT plug-in issues.
First quit the app if it’s open & then, in your Applications folder, select Safari & press Command+I.
In the General area of the Safari Info dialog that appears (click the disclosure triangle if this area is not already expanded), select Open Using Rosetta, & then close the Safari Info dialog.
Relaunch Safari.

Combining stop motion clips into one?

Hi I am trying to create a stop motion music video(1 minute long) but considering what is the best method to take. Everything in the scene will be moving through stop motion. Can I create separate motion clips for each element in the movie and then combine them in layers in after effects and using the transparency to get rid of the background information in each clip(im using just a white background)
OR will I need to do the stop motion with all the elements moving together?
Help! Thanks

You could do it that way, using a white background and making that transparent. Making white disappear is not trivial.
But "create separate motion clips for each element in the movie and then combine them in layers in after effects and using the transparency to get rid of the background information" is a highly unusual way to approach stop motion. You would only do it that way if your individual elements or characters do not interact with each other in any physical or implied way on your set. I think most of us would use a dedicated stop motion application with onion skinning and variable playback to an external monitor, create scenes with all active elements, edit the scenes together with music and sound effects and dialog in a video editor and use After Effects for effects and compositing.
Have you done stop motion before? If so, what made you decide to, or what about this particular project suggests that you try this approach?

Congratulations on the new Mini. Are you saying you tried burning and it does not play, or do you want to burn it only for the computer to be able to play it?

Flash Video with DVD-like motion menus -- Is this possible?

Hi all,
I just joined this gropup. I have some SMIL 2.0 presentations
with synchnorized multiple audio (several languages supported) and
video as well as DVD-like still and motion menus. These are
semi-transparent menus and actually are super-imposed over main
playback area (root layout in SMIL).
Can Flash Video has menus in it?
Can this type of a/v synchronization and menuing be done in
Flash Video?
I don't want to write as SWF with menus since clips and # of
menus on screen and placement might be different from video to
video. These are for some training videos.
To give a background, in SMIL I have an application server
(Jboss) which is dynamically creating SMIL based upon database,
user inputs and menu selections. What is basically sent back to the
browser is SMIL page markup including playlist of clips up to next
menu point. Once all clips are watched and user selects menu button
to continue then a new SMIL is generated and processs repeated.
I am thinking off porting this over to Flash Video because
currently clients need RealPlayer (has SMIL 2.0) support to be
downloaded and installed. Another local app to manage!
Any ideas or recommendations?
Thanks and kindest regards,
-Mark

You can build interactive DVDs with video and audio, but no Word documents (at least not as part of the interactivity). DVD SP can certainly be used to create interactive DVDs. The advantage is that interactivity will extend to DVD players, not just computers.
If you want very rich interactive content, with Word docs, PDFs, etc. Then the best program would be Director. However there are some caveats with Director.
1) The learning curve for Director is extremely steep. You would be better off hiring a freelancer who already knows the program, then spending all the time learning all the ins and outs of the program.
2) Director is essentially a dead program. Since Adobe acquired it a couple of years ago, they have made no upgrades of the program. Nor have they made any announcements on continued development.
3) The content you develop will only be playable on computers, not DVD players.
