Mask function creates a grey frame

I'm using QT 7.2 and I was trying to "crop" out some artifact that was present on the top edge of the picture frame. The file is an mpeg4 video I downloaded from my TiVo. I'm using OS X 10.4 on my MacBook. The mask seem to work fine but when I play the video in "full screen" mode there is a 1 pixel gray frame around the entire image. Has anyone had this problem? Is there a fix? Is there another way to "crop" video using Quicktime? Thanks...

Never got answered... oh well

  • Mask function creates grey line

    I'm using the mask function to trim the edges of a movie and it creates a one pixel line on the left side of the exported movie. My mask is a clean 8bit b/w box - no antialising at all. the line is at the very edge of the frame. It's barely noticable but shows up when I embed the movie into a web page or have a movie that's very dark.
    Any ideas?
    thanks

    Yep.
    Quite annoying and it happens in files with "skin tracks", too. Also those that use "Presentation" mode to resize the display.
    Seems like a one pixel "shift" (down and to the right) occurs.
    Good news?
    It seems to have been fixed in 7.2 so maybe all you need to do is another Save As.

  • Creating Scrollable text frames in InDesign

    I've been trying to create scrollable text frames in InDesign CS6 and, for the life of me, cannot figure out how to do so for an interactive PDF. 
    I've done so for touchscreen devices before through DPS and the scrollable frame option, but I've never tried to do it for something non-touchscreen/mobile.  I don't even know if it's possible, but I am sending this to someone who may not have touchscreen access with touchscreen scroll functionality and I wouldn't want to risk a good portion of text to go unread because of a lack-of functionality.
    So, I guess my question is:  Is there a way to create a scrollable text field for an interactive PDF that could be scrolled through using a mouse or keyboard? 
    Thanks in advance!

    No. It's DPS only.

  • Help required on Mask functionality..

    Hi Gurus,
    One of our Client has a requirement that the catalog items should be available to the users specific to their Company codes.
    For this purpose I have created a custom field in the "Catalog Items" table as Co.Code.
    Created users & roles. Made the assignments & created the mask & assigned to the respective Catalog items in Data Manager.
    I created separate Web services for all these Co Codes & also maintained the same in attributes.
    When I login to portal with the specific credetials, I am still able to view & select the items from Catalog for other company codes.
    My first question - Will the mask functionality work on the custom field i.e. Co. Code and if yes whatever steps mentioned above are they correct. If not what am I missing and what needs to be done so that specific users will be able to view & select the catalog item for their respective company codes.
    Thanks in advance.

    Hi Masa,
    Yes in Data Manager if I login using the users credintial's then only the masked items (specific to his/her Co. Code) is seen.

  • Grey frame around relinked images

    Sometimes (but I think not always) when I relink a placed image I get a double grey frame around the image.
    This is not a major problem but just kind of irritating and it seems to go away on its own after a few mouse clicks or something, but is it normal behaviour and can it be avoided?
    Here's a shot to show what I'm on about. (In this example the image is masked as indicated by the extra white space at the top.)

    I'm on CS3.
    I didn't ask for isolation mode, so why am I getting it? (If that is indeed what it is.)
    Also the layer palette opens so I can suddenly see all the sub layers. I didn't ask for that either. This only seems to happen randomly when I relink an existing placed image.
    I read (again) what it says in the Help file about isolation mode but there doesn't appear to be any locking or dimming of other objects, so maybe that's not what it is. I have never wittingly used isolation mode in several decades of Illie usage; never really saw the point of it although I had read about it and even experimented with it. Instead I use Select Inverse (with a keystroke) and Lock or Hide if I need to isolate a bit of the artwork to work on. It seems a more reliable way of working and no nasty surprises :-)

  • Moving mask overlay created by adjustment brush?

    Frequently, when working on a series of very similar images, it would be very useful to use the local adjustment brush on first image in the series, and then copy/paste or sync the local adjustment with subsequent images. The problem is that the subsequent images, although nearly identical, are frame-shifted and the mask overlay does not line-up correctly. For example, if the local adjustment brush is used to edit the eyes of an individual, the framing of subsequent images may vary slightly such the mask overly created for the first image in the series no longer aligns with the eyes in subsequent images. If it were possible to simply move the mask overlay without having to recreate the mask for every image it would be a great time saver. Is this possible??

    So simple! Many thanks.

  • How do I create a new frame using Flash CS5 on a Mac so I can add more pictures to my website?

    I have what I hope is a fairly straight forward question that I hope you can answer if you write code with a Mac or are at least familiar with the process on a Mac?  The person I have been working with to create my photography website uses a PC.  Here is the problem.  I am trying to use my Mac in order to create frames so that I can add 5 more images to a portfolio that presently has 15 images.  The code is in an index.fla file.  If I want to create a new frame in the index.fla, let's say LOAD CODE 381 and want to use the same text that is already present in LOAD CODE 380 but with a few edits, I have no trouble going to the Action-Movie Clip and finding LOAD CODE 380 in the left hand column.  The problem is, on a Mac, how do I create frame LOAD CODE 381 and then how do I copy and paste the text from LOAD CODE 380 into LOAD CODE 381?  It looks like on a PC one can open LOAD CODE 380 in the Action-Movie Clip, highlight the text then right click on the red rectangular box in the timeline.  By doing so (on a PC) one sees a drop down menu that gives the option to "copy key frame".  What is the equivalent of the "copy key frame" on a Mac?  I can see where on the Mac you can go to Edit >copy.  Is this the equivalent of "copy key frame" on a PC?  If so, once I "copy" the text how do I create the new LOAD CODE 381 so that I can paste the text into the new frame?
    I WOULD BE EXTREMELY GRATEFUL TO ANYONE WITH THE ANSWER TO THIS QUESTION!  THANK YOU!!!!!

    Sorry not to be more clear.  It is a name assigned to one of the 
    frames by the person who originally designed the website and is shown 
    in the list of about 150 action frames that were created in this 
    particular fla document.  This "list" comes up in the left hand column 
    of the Action-Frame box. When I click on Load Code 380 which is half 
    way down the column of frames, the following text comes up on the 
    large screen to the right of the column of 130 frames.
    IMAGE.gotoAndPlay("start");
    loadVariables("data/series01/15title.txt", "_root.IMAGE.TITLE");
    loadVariables("data/series01/15price.txt", "_root.IMAGE.PRICE");
    loadMovie("data/series01/about.swf", "_root.IMAGE.ABOUT");
    IMAGE.mc_pic.attachMovie("pic","pic",1,)
    IMAGE.mc_picTHUMB.attachMovie("pic","pic",1,)
    This text is what I am trying to transfer to copy then paste into a 
    new frame after which time I want to slightly edit the text.  I am not 
    a programer so I apologize if I am not using all of the correct 
    terminology.
    Thank you again,  Jon

  • Why CreateNewFrame() returns as NULL after successful created 136 child frame window and trying to create 137th child frame window in MDI application

    I am working on MDI application which was developed in VC++ in VS 2012. When my application is launched, it will display a Tree. Under a tree there are 254 nodes. Basically
    these nodes data are read from Configuration xml file and loaded into the Tree. By double clicking on each node, first it will create object for document class ( By calling CreateNewDocument() method) after that member variables for that
    document class will be initialized and then it will create the new frame window (by calling
    CreateNewFrame(pDoc,NULL). New child frame window will show under Main window to the user.
    User able to see the data from child frame window.
    Similarly by double clicking on each node it will create another object for the same document class and new child frame window will be opened for that node. Each child frame window runs
    in different data and showed under the Main window.
    Existing requirement by double clicking on each node, node data shall show in separate child window and there is no requirement for all 254 child windows opened simultaneously.
    But current requirement is , all 254 child windows shall open simultaneously by double clicking on each node one by one.
    In debug mode I have tried double clicking on each node. I able to open up to 50 nodes. After 50th child windows are opened, I unable to access to the application
    (Unable to open further node data window since application is getting hanged).
    Each child window is having tree, multiple splitter window and some additional controls (static text, ...).
    Same I have tried in release mode, I able to open up to 136 child windows. After that the application fail to create the new frame window in VS 2012. i.e CreateNewFrame() return
    NULL after successful created 136 child frame window. Debug purpose I have added the code to retrieve last error code by calling GetLastError() method. I got the value as "0". By closing any existing child window then I able to open remaining nodes.
    At any point of time I can reach maximum of 136 child frame window that can be opened under Main window. Failing to open all 254 child frame window
    simultaneously,  currently I fail to meet the current requirement.
    current Requirement is all 254 child frame window are opened simultaneously. Please let me know what may be the reason fail to create new frame window after 136 frame window that are
    opened already. In Microsoft site, mentioned that there is no limitation for creating frame  window in MDI application. I have tried another sample MDI application having limited number of controls, in which I able to create "n"
    number of child frame windows. why not able to create more than 136 child frame window in my actual application?
    Is there any possibility by changing project settings allow me to create 254 child frame window??
    Code Snippet as below:
    CDiagBaseDoc * CDiagBaseMDocTemplate::OpenDiagView( ...)
         CDiagBaseDoc* pDoc = NULL;
        if (pDoc == NULL)
            pDoc = (CDiagBaseDoc*)CreateNewDocument();
        if ( pDoc )
           CFrameWnd* pFrame = NULL;
           if (bAlreadyOpen)
                  // If Child frame window already opened, then handling the code here.
         else
               pFrame = CreateNewFrame(pDoc, NULL);
               if (pFrame == NULL)
                  ASSERT(FALSE);
                  delete pDoc;       // explicit delete on error
                 pDoc = NULL;
              ASSERT_VALID(pFrame);
              if( pDoc != NULL ) //VS2012
                 if ( !pDoc->OnNewDocument() )
                    TRACE0("CDocument::OnNewDocument returned FALSE\n");
                    delete pDoc;       // explicit delete on error
                    pDoc = NULL;
                    pFrame->DestroyWindow();
                     pFrame = NULL;
           if (pFrame)
               InitialUpdateFrame(pFrame, pDoc);
               ShowWindow( pFrame->GetSafeHwnd(), SW_MAXIMIZE ); //when opening node for the 1st time, maximize it

    Hi MuruganK,
    Have you checked how much memory your application used? You could check it by Task Manager. Maybe your application reach Memory Limits for Windows.
    https://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/windows/desktop/aa366778%28v=vs.85%29.aspx?f=255&MSPPError=-2147217396
    Is it possible that there are some memory leaks in your application? It would better if you have made a simple sample to reproduce and narrow down this issue.

  • What is the best way to import a graphic? & How do I create a text frame for a figure caption?

    Hello all! I've been working from the FM book for almost 2 hrs trying to figure this out, so now I need your help. I am almost to this point:
    Problem I: Importing a graphic
    First of all, which is the best way?
    -Insert an anchor frame and then import the graphic into the frame OR
    -Just insert the graphic and get the anchor frame by default
    Here’s my importing and sizing problem:
    I hit ENTER to make a new paragraph line (side note: the book says make a new paragraph by hitting ENTER, import the graphic, and then ESC m+p to shrink wrap so that you can avoid the graphic overlapping the above text. I do exactly this (I believe), but my graphic still overlaps the above text when I shrink wrap. What the...?)
    I insert an anchored frame with position Below Current Line and alignment CENTER (I chose to the insert anchor frame, since this way I have control over its alignment, correct?)
    Anchor frame is selected when I import my image file
    In the Imported Graphic Scaling box, what do I select if my file is HUGE (3072x2304)?
    -Fit in selected rectangle (when I choose this the image imports small and fits in the anchored frame with lots of white space around it)
    -72 dpi
    -75 dpi
    -150 dpi
    -300 dpi
    -Custom dpi: 96 (I’ve tried changing this to a smaller number (20) and I get a message that says “cannot handle a bitmap of that size.”)
    I’ve had the best luck with selecting FIT IN SELECTED RECTANGLE, and then I just scale the image with my shift+click. If I choose 72 dpi or Custom, my image imports HUGE, and I just can’t manage it. I don’t have a method for resizing these images outside of FM.
    Problem II: Creating a text frame for a caption
    Once I have chosen FIT IN SELECTED RECTANGLE, I try to insert a text box underneath the image (and inside the anchor frame) to type a caption in it.
    In Create New Text Frame box, the default is Number 1 and Gap 0.25. I click SET.
    Next, I double-click inside the text frame to begin typing, but the cursor is OUTSIDE and UNDERNEATH the text frame! What the heck??? I’ve done this before and it has worked just fine. Then I had another problem where when I did get the text inside the text frame, I would select the text frame to move it, and it left the text behind! (I moved the frame but the text was separated from it and left behind.)
    THANK YOU in advance for your help. I hope I wrote this out clearly enough. I appreciate those who respond. P.S. I'm in FM 10.

    My favorite method is to use a one-cell table for graphics and captions.
    Import the graphic by reference into the table cell. Create a "Caption"
    paragraph tag and assign it to the table title. (The title can be set
    for above or below the table cell. I prefer below.) Now, whenever you
    insert this table, it will be ready for graphic and caption. Another
    advantage of this method is that graphic and caption always stay
    together at page/column breaks.
    When you create the table format above, assign it to have a -2.0 space
    above. Then, create a paragraph tag, such as "TableAnchor" and assign it
    -2.0 pt font size and -2.0 space below. (You can substitute a different
    point size, but it must be the same in all three places. The TableAnchor
    paragraph will hold the table and these settings let tables fit against
    the top margin where necessary. Otherwise, they dip down a bit.
    I wrote this from memory, so I hope I remembered all the steps!

  • "Place in" function in Bridge greyed out, after uninstalling previous version of CC.

    I recently updated to the CC 2014 version of the apps. After that I removed the previous versions of Photoshop, Indesign and Illustrator.
    Now the 'Place In" function in Bridge is greyed out. I tried restoring File associations, re-installing Bridge etc... but nothing worked. It's still unavailable.
    Is there any way I can link Bridge with the 2014 apps again so I can use the 'place in' function again?

    There are 2 startup scripts in Bridge: "Adobe Bridge CC" script & "Auto Collection Scripts CC 2014". When I click 'reveal all my startup scripts' I get an empty folder.
    I also tried resetting my preferences but that didn't help. The 'Place in...' function is still greyed out.
    I also had to manually set all the file associations with my apps because bridge always tried to open the previous versions from Photoshop CC, Illustrator CC etc...
    (in fact...If I reset the file associations, bridge defaults back to the previous versions for all apps... and then I have to change it again to the CC 2014 version)
    It's as if Bridge doesn't know I have the CC 2014 version and can't communicate with it.

  • How can we place an image in already created inline graphic frame?

    Hi,
    AIM::
    To place an image in the inline graphic frame.
    OBSERVATION::
    As i have analysed the snippet Runner,i came to know that it allows to load the placegun with the file(in my case image). but in order to place it,we need to click on the document..and then the image is placed at (0,0) of the page(I suppose Indesign does it automatically).
    what is needed,is to place image in already created inline graphic frame. i have created a inline graphic frame at some position in the story,but now i required to place image in this created frame.

    I have the same problem. Can you give me a short code sample for that.
    I have an image and want to place it in the currently selected frame...

  • Quicktime export contains random grey frames

    Lately, doing a straight Quicktime export (not Quicktime conversion) is resulting in movies with random grey frames in them, lasting about 12 frames or so each. This is HD footage, shot on the Panasonic DVX-100. This only seems to happen when exporting certain sequences, but I haven't been able to establish a pattern as to why it's happening on certain exports but not on others. It's all footage shot, ingested, and edited on sequences with the same exact settings.
    It's only been happening since upgrading to QT 7.5, but the other computer in the office also upgraded, and it hasn't encountered this problem, and can export the same sequences I'm having problems with just fine.
    Has anyone else experienced this, or offer a solution?

    for the record this was not my first post, I forgot my account info. I'm normally very nice but studio x was just puffing his chest and belittling a good question
    This is a Final Cut issue. If it were only a drive/scsi issue the errors would also be there in the animation codec as well. The bad frames ONLY occur when doing a quicktime export [DVCPRO HD 720](referenced, render all frames, and self contained). I'm not dismissing the fact that there very well may be a drive causing problems (G-SPEED XL12).
    The bad frames do not occur any other time. I render plenty of things in the exact same codec over the network to the raid from AE and Motion and never ever have a problem.
    One thing I am doing differently now is long form projects. The projects having issues are a one hour show and a two hour+ show. I don't have this problem with commercials or other small packages. It also doesn't matter if it's a random 10 sec section exported or the whole program.
    This is what I'm working with:
    HVX200 and other mixed footage
    FCP and QT last updated in early july (no internet connection)
    G-SPEED XL12
    Fibre channel to one station that also acts as a file server
    gigabit to one station from the file server
    trunked gigabit to another station from the server (seperate NIC)
    All three stations exhibit the same problem including the station connected via Fibre Channel
    Other people are having the same problem as I've found by searching. The earliest report of this specific issue I've found so far was stated around Jan of this year. But there are more reports from this summer.

  • COMMIT failed in RSORAADM, object JOB, function CREATE, return code 4

    Dear Gurus,
    When I am trying to schedule a backup through DB13, I am getting an error as
    "COMMIT failed in RSORAADM, object JOB, function CREATE, return code 4"
    Can any body tell me what is the error about and how to resolve it.
    Thanks
    Best Regards
    Dilip

    hi Kaushal,
    Thanks for your reply.  Yes I could solve the issue as my Operation mode was inactive, I made it active and then could schedule the DB13 jobs. 
    Can you tell me what is the relationship between DB13 jobs scheduling and Operation mode.  Also note when I am scheduling DB13 jobs that time none of the background job is running ie my background wp is free. It is only after I activated day/night operation mode, I could schedule the backup.
    Thanks once again.  Your input was of great help to me.
    Best Regards

  • Each time I create a Text Frame it appears colored with black?

    Every time I create a Text Frame with the Type tool in InDesing CS5.5 in a document named "02_End.indd", (this happen only for this file) the it appears filled with black color. On the other documents this does not happen (the text frames are with no fill).
    Can anyone tell me how can I change the default color of the Text frames?
    Please help me?

    Make sure you don't have anything selected. Then look in the swatches palette. If you see the default fill is black, set it to [None].
    If not, it may be your default object style, or possibly a document corruption -- if you suspect the latter, you could try to Remove Document Corruption as per the instructions at the top of this forum.
