Build in effects only show part of objects

When I click to see an object (in the play mode) I cannot see most of it, only a small piece of it on the right hand side. If it matters, the problematic objects are right-to-left text objects. Is it a bug, or just my ignorance? Any fixes?

Hi Ario,
Try removing the binding and add the following in the calculate event, not sure which one has the 9 characters and which the 4.
But for the 9 characters;
$data.resolveNode('PrintContent.sfcPrintingData.sfc').value.substr(0,9)
and for the 4 characters
$data.resolveNode('PrintContent.sfcPrintingData.sfc').value.substr(-4)

Program monitor only showing part of clip.

Hi
My program monitor only shows part of a clip during playback, though output to an external monitor is fine. If I stop playback and click in the monitor window, the clip is displayed correctly, but reverts back to partial when playing back.
This started happening today after installing Matrox tools update to 5.1 and latest matrox effect patterns. Everything else is perfect inc source monitor.
Have tried may settings changes, new projects old projects, new clips etc etc but its the same every time. Any ideas what has gone wrong? Its been running perfect for last 4 years. Is it worth reinstalling CS5 and would I have to reinstall Matrox also?

When saving my illustrator file to a pdf it doesnt show all the artwork ie boxes are hidden in the pdf or only showing part of them. How can I fix this?

when saving my illustrator file to a pdf it doesnt show all the artwork ie boxes are hidden in the pdf or only showing part of them. Even some text is hidden. I have flattened the artwork so everything is in one layer. How can I fix this?

Hi John
I have indicated on the attached jpeg where the problem is, basically a line of text is missing at the top and part of the feeding diagram is missing. I created the artwork in different layer and then flattened. All text has been converted to outlines, however the areas being affected have no transparency, I have used solid fills or no fills. I get the same result when I export the file as a jpeg. Hope you can help.

Can i export an Imovie project with special effects as a quick time movie then import into final cut express keeping the special effects?

Hi, Can i export an Imovie project with special effects as a quick time movie then import into final cut express keeping the special effects?

Absolutely. Go to File->Export->QuickTime Movie (do NOT use QuickTime Conversion). Make sure you check the Self-Contained box. The export will be an exact copy of your Sequence, complete with any filters or other effects you've added. Import the self-contained movie back into the project (or another project) if needed.

InDesign only showing part of the image

I'm doing a job for a client in InDesign CS5. I have not worked in CS5 before, so don't know if this is a bug or if I'm doing something wrong.
It seems to happen randomly and I have checked the preferences and tried using different settings for the Display Performance. I've even tried viewing the job with Overprint Preview switched on.
When placing images only a part of the image shows. When I output to PDF or Print the file then the entire image shows. This makes it very hard to do layouts, especially in cases where I need to crop an image.
In InDesign it looks like this:
When I output to PDF (this is a low res output, just to demonstrate my point) the entire image shows:
In InDesign it looks like this:
When I output to PDF:
The machine I'm ding this job on is an iMac, 2.66GHz Intel Core 2 Duo with 4GB 800MHZ DDR2 SDRAM. It is running Mac OSX 10.6.4. And InDesign is on version 7.0.2.

If I understand things correctly, you're placing client-supplied images into a new InDesign file that you're creating, so the only part of the workflow that you haven't created is the graphics. This logically leaves the container file innocent.
The question becomes "what's up with either the hardware or the graphics?" If the problem persists with the same graphic files and a new container file on a different user account on the same computer, it's possible that hardware is the villain. If it doesn't persist on a different computer, it's likely the hardware. If it does persist on a different computer, in a new container file, it's likely something in the graphics files.
It's not clear if the graphics card in your iMac is one of the models whose video RAM is "dedicated," that is, it doesn't share video RAM with the main RAM, or if it does share VRAM. If it shares RAM, it's possible that 4GB isn't sufficient to display all the open applications and their demands. If this is the cause, it's a hardware issue (insufficient RAM.)
Because the graphics print and convert to PDF without the problem, it would seem that the graphics are innocent, but perhaps something in the processing of these outputs causes the problem to disappear. For example, perhaps there's some flattening involved. Perhaps there's a clipping path or channel mask of some kind involved that affects the InDesign display? (Just fishing.)
Have you tried opening the graphics in their creating application and saving them to new names? Any difference in the behavior when those graphics are freshly-placed in InDesign, or when their links are updated?
Have you tried placing PDFs of the graphics? If they appear properly, can you crop them to achieve your requirements and hope the problem goes away after the deadline passes<G>?

New iTunes only shows Purchased Music. Help!

Wow, I cannot believe how inconvenient the new iTunes has been. Hoping someone can help.
This is what I was used to and loved on my iMac:
1. List view: All Playlists on left column, with "Library" on top, then "Purchased", Genius, TV, and so on; and ALL my music (songs) in the right side of main window.
2. I just click or choose "New Playlist" and a new one would show up in the left column with the rest of my playlists so I could see them all at the same time.
3. I just click and drag any song I want from the right side to whatever playlist (old or new) and the song would be added.
Simple, easy and quick.
NOW with the new, "improved" version:
1. List view is fine (playlists on left, songs on right) but it takes a couple clicks to get to it--not my default view (default is annoying and illogical album cover view).
2. On the list on the left side (under "Playlists"), "Purchased" is at top--NO choice for my entire music library! So if I click on "Purchased", it only shows me purchased music, which is only a third of my library.
3. In order to add a playlist, there is no choice on the pulldown menu from the top. I have to click the icon at the bottom left of the window for a pull down and select "New Playlist"--HOWEVER, the entire window suddenly shifts!! The new Playlist is now for some reason on the RIGHT side, and only *then* is my music library listed in the main window, which has shifted to the left. But in this view I can no longer see all my other playlists! Extremely confusing, illogical, unintuitive and completely unnecessary.
4. Strangely, when in "regular" Playlist mode (where all my Playlists are listed in the narrow left window and my Purchased music is on the right main one), I can still click and drag songs, but only to add to my OLD playlists.
Can someone PLEASE tell me how to get back to the easy way? Where my "Library" is listed in the left "Playlists" window and ALL my songs are listed on the right?
And is there ANY way to to add a new playlist to the main Playlist list on the left column without having to switch to the next window?
Any help is most appreciated. Thanks much!

I think I just solved this! I, too, was having the same issue.
Try this:
In itunes V11.1.5, there is a small line of choices across the top of the interface window that begins with, "Radio • Songs • Albums, etc.
Click on "songs."
Now, go to the iTunes menu > View, and select "Show sidebar."
Bingo! There is your Library; the list we've all grown so accustomed to, including ALL of our songs (not just purchased) and playlists.
I hope this is what you were asking, and that I have explained it well, becasue I'm very excited to have just found this solution. Best of luck.

My feed only shows one episode, please help

Im using Drupal to publish a podcast the original feed is: http://enredat.org/rss.xml
and using feedburner to publish to itunes: http://feeds.feedburner.com/enreda-t
my itunes url is: http://itunes.apple.com/us/podcast/enreda-t/id492031599
Im not sure how to fix it, im new to this, please help
Thank you

Thanks, this did the trick for me as well. I have a podcast that is currently up to 3 episodes, but iTunes (both the store and the subscribed feed itself) only showed episode 1, even after several days.
I'm using WordPress, with the PowerPress plugin. After reading this thread, I checked the raw XML of my feed and noticed that only the first episode had the <enclosure> tag containing the URL of the episode's MP3.
I quickly realized I had made a silly mistake: PowerPress adds another section below the text box on the WordPress post editing page, where you explicitly supply the URL of the MP3. I had done that on episode 1 but had forgotten on subsequent episodes.
Immediately after making the change, I was able to refresh the subscribed feed in iTunes and the new episodes showed up. They're not in the store yet, but I expect they will be within 24 hours when it gets refreshed.

How can I make a picture fit entirely in the photo box in a book. The picture size is small, but the it only shows part of the picture, and the zoom is all the way down.

I am trying to make a Photo Book using IPhoto for my granddaughter's wedding. I am using 6 pictures per page, as I have many pictures to add to book.
The picture size is small. But when I zoom is all the way down to the end to make smaller. Doesn't go far enough. When I try to put a picture in the square spot, it cuts off part of the picture. Has anyone else had this problem, and could help me out. I really would like to put on each page even more pictures, but that is not an option with IPhoto. I have used other sites to make books. This is my first try with IPhoto. I may have to revert to the old familiar ones. Wanted to give this one a try. My granddaughter leaves for Germany on the 21st to join her marine husband. I am quickly running out of time. (The wedding was this past Saturday)

Place it the book, right click on it and fit to frame
