Leopard Video Effects Not Working Properly

When ever I have a video conference and try to use a video backdrop the picture becomes very flaky, with parts of my me being covered up by the back drop and random parts of the back drop not working. I think I'm doing everything right but it still isn't working right.
Thanks,
David

I have that same problem too. I called up Applecare and was on the phone with them for at least and hour and they couldn't fix it either. They said that everyone is having this problem. I was at the Apple Store today for my ProCare Appointment and the creative told me that it does the same thing on all the computers in the store. Its such advanced technology that it need a nice clean background. There is a way to get it to work if you have a plain white background and I have yet to try it out. I am positive that apple will fix this through a software update in the future.
The support agent on the phone said this might help too:

    http://support.apple.com/kb/TS1371
    According to that article, if you see the error message "iTunes cannot run because it has detected a problem with your audio configuration," QuickTime may need to be reinstalled.

  • Eye Dropper tool in After Effects Not working Properly

    I am using Adobe After Effects CS5 on a mac. And most all of the eyedropper tools in the software are not working properly. They always select a way different color than it should be. What is wrong?
    One day they just all decided to not work. Its really frustrating. Its been a few weeks now.

    Well, For some strange reason its working just fine today. I did restart my computer yesterday and after that it seems to be working.
    I haven't recenitly messed with my hardware acceleration/graphics card or monitor color profile. So if that was it, then it did it on its own.
    None the less its working now. Thank you for your help!!!

  • IPod touch 32 g 4th gen video function not working properly

    So I am having 2 major problems with my iPod. 1, is that it won't let me add videos of any format tO my iPod other than .mov files and frankly since I have over 100 different videos on m iPod it would be kinda annoying to have to convert each one one at a time. This hadn't started happening till the last iPod software update whicy happened around last weekend. My 2nd problem is that my videos are not orginizing properly. For example under my TV shows section I have a show that should only have 26 episodes in it. Instead it has around 80 episodes in it which consist of other tv shows I have added but my iPod does not recognize that they do not belong there. I keep my videos very organized by episode, show, season, etc and I don't know what to do. I've tried restoring my iPod and that didn't work.
    My computer specs go as follows: thinkpad laptop, windows 7, latest iTunes and iPod touch software

    The 'wrong sorted TV episodes' bug was the first thing I noticed on 4.2.1's video player. I'd say the whole media part is buggy as never before, at least for me. I absolutely agree with you and in addition to this (as I mentioned here http://discussions.apple.com/thread.jspa?messageID=12686533#12686533) the swipe to delete function on both podcasts and videos seems to be broken, not deleting properly.
    I'm also using Windows 7 (64-bit) for syncing, if anything could be related to Windows iTunes or Windows 7.

  • Spotlight (leopard) is simply *not* working properly...

    i needed to trash my firefox prefs, but couldn't remember the exact name of the document (org.mozilla.firefox.plist). so i typed "firefox" in spotlight.
    i got a few results -- the app, etc., -- but absolutely no preference files. i double-checked: i was searching "this computer." it defaults to "contents," so i switched to "file name" -- but still nothing.
    finally i went to the preferences folder and scanned for the document manually -- and found it.
    if i'm searching "this computer," and spotlight doesn't "see" a document that's sitting right there -- how can this be the correct behavior? i know i was able to find preference files with spotlight in tiger.
    what am i missing, here?

    Spotlight is great for documents, but for anything system related I use to open a terminal (Command-Space Terminal Enter) and type the following command at the prompt:
    locate [filename]
    which is in your case:
    locate org.mozilla.firefox.plist
    I must admit that I come from a Unix background, so the locate command is quite a normal way for me to find files. And you circumvent all those nifty features in Spotlight which like to do your thinking for you.
    Further, I must disagree with you in that Leopard Spotlight does not work property. It seems to be doing exactly what is designed to do. That this is not what you would expect it do is more a bug in the design team than in Spotlight

  • "Ken Burns effect" not working properly

    Whenever I try to add a still photo to an iMovie 6 project, i get an error chirp and then nothing ends up in the timeline. Often, if I turn off the ken Burns Effect, it imports fine.
    Do I need to reinstall? If so, won't that mess up the iLife '09 software already installed? And will it mean that I have to reinstall all my Slick Effects?
    Anybody know the answers to these questions?
    Thanks in advance.

    As Rich839 writes.
    My list in another way of putting it
    *Not knowing the origin to Your problem - General approach when in trouble is as follows.*
    • Free space on internal (start-up) hard disk if it is less than 10Gb should rather have 25Gb
    • Delete iMovie pref file - or rather start a new user/account - log into this and re-try
    iMovie pref file resides.
    Mac Hard Disk (start-up HD)/Users/"Your account"/Library/Preferences
    and is named. *com.apple.iMovie.plist *
    While iMovie is NOT RUNNING - move this file out to desk-top.
    Now restart iMovie.
    • Hard disk is untidy. Repair Permissions, Repair Hard disk (Apple Disc Util tool)
    • Garageband-fix. Start it, Play a note and Close it. Re-try (Corrects an audio problem that hinders iMovie)
    • Screen must be set to Million-colors
    • Third party plug-ins that doesn't work OK (not relevant for iMovie’08 or 09)
    iMovie updated ?
    QuickTime updated ?
    Mac OS version ?
    • Program miss-match. iMovie 5.0.2, up to Mac OS X.4.11 AND QuickTime 7.4.1 - is OK
    • Program miss-match. iMovie 6.0.3 or 6.0.4, Mac OS X.4.11 AND QuickTime 7.4.1 - is OK (might work under Leopard)
    • Program miss-match. iMovie’08 v. 7.0.1, Mac OS X.4.11 AND QuickTime 7.4.1 - is OK (might work under Leopard)
    From LKN 1935. (in this case = iMovie HD (5), I tried it all, but nothing worked.
    Your answer (above) has been helpfull insofar as all the different trials led to the conclusion that
    there was something wrong with my iMovie software. I therefore threw everything away and reinstalled
    iMovie from the HD. After that the exportation of DV videos (there has not been any problem with HDV videos)
    to my Sony camcorders worked properly as it did before.

    I run "Cache Out X", clear out all caches and restarts the Mac.

  • Flip effect not working properly

  • Video effects not working on nested sequences in Premiere Pro CS5

    Hi -
    I am having some trouble with Premiere ProCS5. I have a project with a few clips which I put together in one sequence. I put this sequence into another sequence. There I will add one or two tracks of additional images and apply color correction.
    The problem is: None of the video effects I drag onto the sequence (which now is a nested sequence) have any effect. Whatever I change in the effect controls will not sho up in the monitor. Audio effects do work, though. Furthermore, none of the tracks above the nested clip are displayed. To clarify: The nested track is on V1, another clip is on V2 and an image is on V3. Only V1 gets displayed.
    I know this is supposed to work and it actually does in another project created in the same version on the same machine with the same kind of material. But no matter how often I create a new project, applying video effects to a nested sequence just does not work.
    Even more strange is the fact that my applied effects DO show up in the "Export Settings" window. They DON'T, however, in the final rendered file. I would suggest this is a bug.
    What could be the reason for this behaviour?

    It can help if you Toggle Track Output to ON. The visibility icon on the left side on each track.

  • Crumble animation effect not working properly

    Crumble effect is not working. Other effects seem fine. Tried moving the one slide to a new presentation. Tried changing speed.  I've rebooted. Can't locate any pref files to remove. I'm using it on a .png object I made in photoshop. Hmm. maybe I'll convert to .jpg and see what happens.
    Using Keynote 6.2
    OS X 10.9.4
    Mac Mini 2.7 core i7
    16gb ram

    Crumble effect works perfectly with me.
    You are aware that crumble is a build out effect?  Therefore it removes an image from the screen using the effect.

  • Can you help? photo booth effect not working properly.

    The pop art effect is no longer working on my mom's G5. It only shows a pic in the upper left rahter than the four it used to show: upper left, upper right, lower left and lower right.

    parp,
    You don't mention which model of G5 your mother has.
    However, you need to install a "fresh" copy of the Photo Booth application from the install DVD or a working copy from another machine.
    Mine POP ART effect stopped working like you mentioned with only the one photo in the upper left. I deleted that copy of the Photo Booth application and installed a fresh one. Now all 4 or the photos are showing.

  • Photobooth Effects not working properly

    I'm having an issue with Photobooth that is quite odd. When there aren't any effects turned on, Photobooth is fine. When I click on the effects buttons however, they are all screwed up. I can't even explain it, so I've included a link to a few screen shots.
    Bear in mind that I'm sitting dead center of the camera. My iSight works fine in other apps, so I'm assuming that it's the effects plugins that are causing this problem. Any help will be greatly appreciated.

    Hi,
    Welcome to the    Discussions
    I would delete them.
    They are placed in the Hard Drive/System/Library/Compositions folder.
    Technically this is not good Practice as that should be for Apple's own stuff only and any Add-Ons should either go to Hard Drive/Library/Compositions for every Mac User to use or to Hard Drive/Users/(your account)/Library/Compositions for just you to use.
    The second more important thing is that they are older style Quartz files and not compatible with the current Quartz/Quicktime management of Video.

  • Render lighting effects not working properly

    I seem to be having a problem with the 'Render > Lighting Effects' feature. It works, but not the first time I use it. I can go in, set the controls how I'd like them, and click OK to apply. The effects will remain for about 5 to 10 seconds, and then it will revert to the image I had before the lighting effects were applied. If I repeat the process a second time, the effects will remain in place.
    I'm using CS6 via Adobe Creative Suite on a Windows 7 operating system. Any ideas?

    Don't really understand what you are saying.
    Without the ability to change the size of the oval the lighting effect will always be the same size.  How can I get the buttons to appear?  I have just watched several video tutorial on the lighting effects in CS6 and the buttons were showing in all of these and it was demonstrated how to change the size of the effect by using them.

  • Video out not working properly

    i recently bought the Gigaware Composite A/V Cable for my 3rd Gen iPod touch at Radio Shack. It works beautifully with youtube and both iTunes videos as well as ones i uploaded myself. i get full video and sound with these. But when i try to play music there is no sound, when i try to view pictures they do not come up and when i try to use the netflix app there is no sound. I know my version of iPod is not yet compatible with video out for the netflix app, but others are saying they get sound, i get nothing. is there a setting that i need to correct or some other way to fix this? I also have a 1st generation iPod touch, and i have the same issue with this one as well. Please help.

    The video only works with specific application. I would not expect music to one of those since there is no video in music. I know on the iPad photos do not display on video out (slide shows do). The same may apply for the iPod. I can't answer about the NetFlix no sound.
    An Apple Support page says the following so there may be difference in different manufacture's cables.
    Note: If you choose to use a third-party cable, make sure it has the "Works with iPhone" or "Made for iPod" label. Learn more about iPod and iPhone accessories.

  • Photo Booth Backdrop Effects Not Working Properly

    Special Effects and Distortion Effects work but Backdrop Effects (Clouds, Color Dots, Earthrise, Eiffel Tower, Fish, Rollercoaster, Sunset, Yosemite)
    doesn't. It would ask me to step out of the frame and I do, then I get Background Detected and I step in the frame but here's the problem. The backdrop doesn't show correctly. Say I choose 'Eiffel Tower' I can't see the whole backdrop just some of it because my actual background (wall) interferes, in other words I can see both my wall and the backdrop. How can I fix this?

    I'm not sure I understand what you mean
