Key out vertical banding?

I just shot some phantom footage and the sensor was messed up in the field. There wasn't any way to reset the camera in the field without risking camera failure so I just had to go with having messed up footage over no footage at all. My question is, is there any way to "key" out these vertical banding lines in premiere/after effects to just essentially mask them out of the image? Thanks in advance

i dont have vertical lines but there's a darker spot when i tried to take pics on light coloured background. and the spot gets bigger and switches to another place when i tried to take video. it's definitely the camera coz i dont see the spot when i looked at the pictures i imported into the phone.
does that happen to anyone else?

Wide black vertical band in display.

My computer (MA590LL-late 2006) has just started displaying a 2.5" wide sold black vertical band just left of center. Otherwise it seems to be working just fine. I want to find out if this is an expensive repair before I take it to Apple because, given it's age, it may not be worth fixing. I found one similar problem within these "Discussions" pages but there was no answer. Can anyone help?

If your waranty's up in 6 days, I'd ship that thing off first thing tomorrow by whatever method it takes. On the old Titanium PowerBooks (and actually on some of the Aluminums) that line meant a pinched display cable or something in the display itself failing. Whatever it is, it's not going to just go away, in fact it will probably just get worse until you have to pay to either replace the display (very expensive) or get it rewired (rather expensive.) I'm certainly no Apple tech, but a line problem like that is usually a display issue needing attention before it becomes worse. Even though you'll be without your computer for a while and it sounds like it'll be a pain to ship it and get it back, I'd still give it a try.

30" Problems Inverted video and vertical banding

I've had the 30" since May and have been having intermittent problems that occur once every few weeks. The problems only seem to occur following sleep (the computer's not mine . The problem for the first few times was that the display was inverted (dark to bright and visa versa) and colors were totally washed out. Examples of these problems may be found:

For the first time, this morning a new problem occured following display sleep. This time the display wasn't inverted but there were vertical bands of dark stripes with various colors. Here's a snap:
http://greg.sytes.net:5080/VerticalColorStripes.jpg
Spent 30 minutes explaining the problems to an Apple Care rep who did nothing but pass me off to another rep. The second representative took another 30 minutes and opened a trouble ticket but said I had to make an appointment to see a genius at the local Apple store. It's hard to believe that an appointment cannot be made for the weekend. I spent over $200 on the Apple Care agreement and I'm going to have to take time off from work to get this problem fixed! Sorry for the venting.
Has anyone else heard of problems like those described above?
Any isnights would be greatly appreciated!
Best Regards,
Greg

Hi Lin-Chow,
I'm glad I'm not the only one with this type of problem. Have you explored getting Apple to take a look at the bad unit? It's a problem that can be lived with but I'm afraid it could become less tolerable if the frequency or time to return to normal increase.
I still haven't made the appointment with a genius. I guess I just supect that the unit would be shipped back to apple and they would find all is well (unless they keep it for a month).

Greg

30" vertical banding issue (thick grey overlay)

I have a 2 year old 30" display which has recently begun having some issues. The problem has only happened twice so far, once 1-2 months ago, and the again a couple days ago. What happens is randomly the screen will get light/dark vertical bands of various thicknesses and intensities. It will stay like this regardless of restarts, leaving the computer and display off for 6+ hours, unplugging and replugging all cords, changing resolutions, plugging the display into other computers/laptops, etc.... for about two days. Then it will "fix" itself.
See pictures here:
http://web.mac.com/modoc1/iWeb/Site/30%20Inch.html
I have AppleCare and called support about this issue just now. They won't give me a repair ticket or replacement unless it happens again, in which case I'm supposed to call again, and they'll let me ship it in for repairs. My frustration is that it's happened twice, I'm sure it'll happen again, however if I can get it taken care of now, while I"m between photography projects, then it's a minimal impact, however, if I wait, and it does this again while I'm under a deadline working on a photo shoot, then I'm screwed. I explained this to the support rep to no avail.
I'm going to try bringing it to my local genius bar tomorrow and show them the pictures, since now the display looks normal, and see if they can help me any.
I guess i have two questions:
1) has anyone seen this before? I see many posts about thin colored vertical lines, but I haven't seen this issue before.
2) any suggestions on how I can handle getting a repair or replacement taken care of?
Thanks!

Doubt Out Of Band

hi all,
Is possible with out of band receive alerts of hard disk problem or other hardware issues?
best regards

This is the Virtual Machine Manager forum. In VMM, we basically just support OSD of Hyper-V hosts with corresponding configuration. For Configuration Manager, I strongly suggest that you raise this question in one of those forums to get the best help from
the experts over there.
Generally speaking. Regarding monitoring of the stack, Operations Manager is the key to detect any issues in your platform, no matter if it's hardware, networking or application related.

Vertical banding in gradient

The printer is telling me there are vertical bands in the gradient on this brochure. I exported the document to a PDF-High Quality (modified) preset;Standard: None;Compatibility: Acrobat 5 (PDF 1.4) (printer's specs).
The color settings:
North America Prepress2;
Working Spaces: R=Adobe RGB, K=US Web Coated (SWOP) v2 with Policies set to: R=Preserve Embedded Profiles; K=Preserve Numbers (Ignore Linked Profiles).
The Transparency Blend Space is RBG.
The color I used to make the gradient has 17% transparency.
HELP! How to get rid of this??
I'm working in InDesign CS4.
Thanks!

Unless you're printing hundreds, it will be digital. The cost of making plates for color work is high when you go on a press, so you need a lot of copies before that gets absorbed into the per unit cost of the finished product and can compete with the click charges for running the laser printer, which needs no plates and has practically no setup time for each job.
For a job run on my favorite printer's press I usually figure the minimum charge is $1500 (and that would cover any number of impressions up to around 500 copies). As the number of copies increases, the cost for paper, ink, and press time go up, but the very heavy cost of the plates and job setup gets sliced into smaller and smaller chunks until eventually you are paying only pennies per unit (or fractions of a penny). On the other hand, the color copier has a constant cost per page that is I think around $.25 each, whether you print one or one thousand. The setup cost is minimal (I don't know what my guy charges, but where I used to work, we charged $15 per file, and I think that is considered high these days, but it depends a lot on how hard they work on getting the color right).
I just got a quote this afternoon to print 2000 booklets in two colors, 16 pages plus cover, finished size 5.5 x 8.5 after folding and stapling. This is a perfect configuration for the laser printer which can do the finishing inline and spit out a finished booklet that needs no additional handling. It will cost about $3200.00 to run on the press, then trim, fold and stitch, but running it on the copier would be $6000.00. If I add another thousand coppies to the press run it will add perhaps another hundred or two hundred dollars, adding them to the copier run would probably add $2000.00 to $2500.00. On the other hand, if I only needed 50 copies, the digital print price would allow me to consider color where I never would have been able to do it ten years ago.

DTMF digits in-band (IN) or out of band (OOB)

What is the difference between digits in-band (IN) or out of band (OOB) in regards to dtfm. When and where is each band use?

In Band DTMF Relay :
>> Send DTMF within the same channel of as RTP
>> Differentiated by Dynamic Payload Type
Cisco RTP (Encoded as Raw sound)
RTP-NTE (Encode as the telephony-event Format in section 3.10 in RFC2833)
Used by MGCP, SIP, H323GW, H323 ICT trunk
Out of Band DTMF Relay :
>> Send DTMF via dedicated signal
>> Differentiated among protocols
H323
h245-alphanumeric
h245-signal (duration capability)
SCCP
KeyPadButton signal
SIP
KPML(Key Press Markup Language using XML and Sub/Not)
SIP-Notify (UNSOLICTED NOTIFY (UN) )
MGCP
Out-of-band (digits event are sent using NTFY message to CA, using RQNT from CA to Agent)
If CA request (R:D/[0-9ABCD*#]) while GW is configured in NSE(in-band, PT 99 NTE), GW will also send out-of-band NTFY as well as inband NSE
DTMF Configuration per SIPTrunk
Some customers may prefer to use one method over the other, or even both for the same call. Four configurable options per SIP Trunk:
Best Effort (Default setting) – Use ANY matched DTMF.
Preferred 2833 – Use 2833 if endpoints behind SIPTrunk support it.
Preferred OOB – Use OOB if endpoints behind SIPTrunk support it.
Preferred Both – Use both KPML and 2833 if endpoints behind SIPTrunk can support both.
The “Preferred” meethods may allocated MTPs even if there is dtmf match
ALL other EP’s except SIP Trunk would be treated as BestEffort.

Vertical banding in KDL60W630B

Overall the colors and image is quality of this TV is good. However, in the scenes with solid background colors (like the sky), the vertical bands become visible when the camera pans horizontally. I'm trying to decide if this particular TV is defective or if all the Sony KDL60W630B has this issue... Here's the picture of my TV with vertical banding (you might need to copy and paste the link below, clicking on it seems to be not working) http://bestbuy.ugc.bazaarvoice.com/3545w/279626/photo.jpg Thanks.

Hi Chinook,
Welcome to the Sony Community!
It is sad to hear that the unit doesn’t go well. Please perform the steps below:

Vertical Banding

I'm just wondering if anyone else has had similar experiences with books printed from Aperture. I bought a 100 page book which was £85/€125, certainly not cheap, as a christmas present for relatives. On nearly every page if not every page there's vertical banding, some worse then others.
Where does Apple stand in regards to customer satisfaction on this because I'm pretty gutted, not just because of the cost but I'm going to be giving out a sub par present.
Has anyone else had similar experiences?

I've had similar problems too with printing from Apple/Kodak. I have read that Kodak does not do four pass printing, which in turn causes the cheaper look and feel alongside color banding.
The strange thing is that I ordered a book and 8x10 prints of the same pictures and the 8x10 pics looked great, but the book and a lot of graininess etc. I too was disapointed but not completly unhappy.
I talked to a fellow photographer who is a proffesional and he uses the company called MyPublisher. They have a I-Photo plugin, but no Aperture. I've seen the results first hand and I'll have to admit I was jealous. They do the four pass printing and it is really excellent.
http://mypublisher.com/iphoto_plugin.php
I know it is too late for Christmas, but you could try mypublisher next time.
I've read on other Aperture disussions that if you complain enough to Apple, they'll ask you to send the PDF of the book and check it with there system. If they find that it is not your fault, they'll return your money or print you a new book.

Vertical bands on my 17" LCD

Something very odd happened to my 17" LCD this morning. Instead of the usual picture-perfect clarity, I have vertical bands or stripes across the screen. They vary in color from white to grey to blue to black and vary in width. There is no hint of what should actually be displayed on the screen (i.e., the login window for my G4 cube). Also, the outside 1 or 2 inches of the screen is black, as if the screen has a cataract that has blurred the peripheral part of the screen. I've tried rebooting, but no luck. I connected the G4 cube to a different screen and it's working fine, so it's definitely the monitor at fault. This monitor has been connected to this same G4 cube for about 5 years without issue. Has it just reached its lifetime limit? Any suggestions for a potential fix will be most appreciated.

A second purple line appeared along side the blue/green one. These discussions show a problem exists with these lines on their displays, and although they made no acknowledgement of this, The Apple Store replaced the LCD in record time, although I was told at first I would have to wait a month for a new LCD. A new logic board was tried first but did fix the LCD, adding two hundred megabytes of data to my hard drive for diagnostics. I recloned my hard drive to clean it out. Without Apple Care (I'm half way through the three years) this would have cost $700 or more.

Keys out of order -- follow up to earlier post

I ran the install disc Disc Utility Test and the Hardware Test disc on the computer since I posted my first question earlier tonight "Computer won't finish start-up -- any suggestions". The Hardware Test came back fine. The Disc Utility test on the install disc says: Keys out of order. It does not, however, explain how to repair this problem on the hard drive.
Is there any way to fix this problem on the hard drive?
Power Mac G4 Quicksilver Mac OS X (10.3.9)

Invest in DiskWarrior. I had the same problem and DiskWarrior fixed it. No other utility programs worked for this problem. DiskWarrior is very inexpensive. Ordered online in the afternoon. It was delivered to my office the NEXT morning.

Can I use two different greens for green screening and keep one without it being keyed out?

I am using a green screen which is your standard light green fabric.
I am also wearing a bottle green cape.
I want to key out the standard green which is no problem. However it also takes out the bottle green on my cape.
Is there a way on either Premiere Pro or After Effects to ensure the bottle green stays as it is without being automatically keyed out?
Many thanks.

There's your answer, most likely. I can think of a few methods you might try, but they're going to be labor intensive, and likely involve some roto.
Most keyers have a threshold setting that determines what colors stay and which ones go. You could keep tweaking that setting in very small increments, and if you get lucky, it might discriminate between two green values.
You might be able to precomp in Ae and use the Change Color plug to shift one of them to a more contrasty green or different hue altogether and create a luma matte.
But, you failed green screen 101, and you gotta' go to detention.
robodog, you're being a bit harsh on Jimmy Simon. He said "Might be worth a reshoot...." I can't disagree. Depending on arahman's situation, a reshoot might be easier and quicker. You never know.

I tried to do a system install, but message said…disk can't be changed. Will a complete erase and install fix this ?
Everything is backed-up.

There's hardware and software.
Your drive could physically be in good condition but something has caused the file structure to be messed up (it just happens sometimes). The directory that keep track of files is corrupt. Disk Utility can help determine if that is the issue. In some cases it can repair the problem but it cannot do it to a drive that is being used to boot the system while you are doing that. You have to boot from another drive. Some things DU cannot repair and you need to try a stronger utility such as Diskwarrior.
A failing hard drive (one with mechanical issues) can be a cause of file structure issues but this is by no means always the case. Apart from looking at the SMART diagnosis feature of Disk Utility (and smart isn't totally reliable) there often isn't a way to tell if a drive is failing until it suddenly happens, which is why you need to maintain backups.
In your situation it does sound serious and not just minor directory corruption. You can try erasing (formatting) the drive, You may need to do this if it is really corrupt, in which case there could be underlying physical issues. I use old technology but if you have the patience you can try erasing the drive with the security option of writing zeros once (don't do more unless you are going on a 3 week vacation). This makes the drive not simply assume everything is okay by forcing it try every part of the drive by writing data. If something is gong wrong you may find it marks a lot of bad sectors, or flat out refuses to format. Then you know you need a new drive.

"Keys out of order" message in Disk Utility

Hi,
I was just doing a regular maintenance check with Onyx and to my surprise it said I needed to repair the disk using the Installer DVD and Disk Utility.
I did this and again to my surprise I seem to have a problem.
After the whole processs is complete these messages come up:
"keys out of order" (in red)
1 HFS Volume repaired (in green)
1 Volume could not be repaired (in red)
I don't know what to do about this. On the one hand my system seems to be running fine, but on the other if these errors are coming up then surely there is an issue which I need to resolve.
Could someone enlighten me on what to do next?

Hi,
Thanks. Unfortunately my battey died and now I am stuck on the apple logo at reboot. Opening disk utility via the install disk doesn't work as disk utils doesn't recognise any disks (even though I hear them spinning)
I am lucky in that I am able to access th powerbook's HD in target mode via firewire on my G5
so I am going to copy over a lot of my data and then invest in Diskwarrior.
However, I am a little confused with the Diskwarrior website. I would prefer to download as I am not near a shop to buy the software and I would rather not pay for express amazon delivery.
Would I be able to use the download of diskwarrior on my Powerbook?
It seems a little confusing:
"If You Are Purchasing DiskWarrior
Repairing your usual startup disk requires that you start up from another disk. In order to use the download copy of DiskWarrior, you will need to start up from another disk with Mac OS X 10.3.9 through 10.4.x installed. You will then need to run a copy of DiskWarrior from a disk that is not the disk you are repairing. (The DiskWarrior download does not include the Apple System files necessary to create a startup CD.) If you cannot use the download version of the software (i.e. you have only one internal hard drive and this is the drive you wish to repair), please order directly from our sales department or from one of our resellers to be sent the software on CD. If you order via the secure server, you will be sent a CD, but delivery of your CD will take approximately three to four weeks, depending on your location."
Basically I am in a hurry to get my Powerbook working by Thursday my two options are
a)Buy from Amazon and pay extra to get express delivery by wednesday
b)Buy download from Alsoft (with cd version on way in 2-3 weeks)....however if the download version is not sufficient then i'm screwed.
I'd really appreciate help here. It just happens that I have to work away on Thursday....and I therefore need my powerbook. I usually use my G5 in my home studio.
THANKS!!
