Masked QuickTime movies not displaying correctly...

Hi there,
I'm still a relative novice with Keynote, but am quickly learning that this is a seriously great application! I haven't encountered any real problems so far, except the one I'm about to describe - and I'd really appreciate any help you could give me with it!
Basically, I've made a masked QuickTime movie in the shape of a circle (as described here: http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?path=QuickTime+Player/7.0/en/c3qt18.html) and then placed this onto one of my slides in Keynote. In the slide design view everything looks fine; the the movie is visible as a circular poster frame (and even plays as it should using the controls in the QuickTime inspector panel). However, when I go to "play" my slide it displays the movie as a rectangle. Obviously, the masking is somehow getting lost somewhere.
Is this a bug with Keynote, or am I just missing something?!
Many thanks in advance.

the way my presentation is organised requires the movie to move in and out of the slide
The final effect you want might still be doable, as long as you don't think of the builds as having to take place on the same slide. If I understand what you mean by the movie moving in and out of the slide, you could have the opening still from the movie as an image, masked to the shape you want, move in on one slide, then undetectably transition to the slide with the cutout and movie underneath, then, when the movie is done, transition to a new slide with the final movie image as a still, again masked to the same shape, and have this move out. It would take three slides instead of one, but you should be able to achieve the end result you want.

Flash movie not displayed correctly in IE 8 on some Windows OS

Has anyone seen this problem?
I'm using CS4 to export a basic flash movie with embed tags pre scripted...
And the issue is that on some OS systems using Vista or Windows 7 and IE 8 as a primary browser, it appears that IE 8 is not displaying the flash banner completely.... its CROPPING it off... This is very strange because the banner works fine in FireFox, IE7,Opera,Chrome but not I.E.8 on some OS systems...
If you google "Flash not displaying correctly in IE 8" you'll get alot of people with the same issues but no real definate fix...
Are there any suggestions as to what i could try?
Do i need different flash embed tags? Or is this a user issue?
Please Advise as soon as possible...
Thanks

I'm sorry, i forgot to explain that I didn't upload the flash published html because it did and produced the exact same results.
The flash published still got cropped off on 1 vista os(I.E 8) running from a laptop and 1 windows 7(I.E. 8) latop os...
Its good to hear that you're able to see it clearly... however in my QA efforts, i've been asked to fix the issue or drop the flash banner all together.
I've tried every which way, i've even converted the embed tags (not uploaded by the way) to a js script and it STILL gets cropped of on 2 ie8 run OS systems...
And now i'm not sure what else to try on my end.
I'm currious if because this is an XML driven flash banner, this may be an issue? But it still doesn't explain why some people can see this in IE 8 as you can and others get a cropped banner like in my screen shot sample.
Again i invite everyone in the forum to take a look at the sample links, as i'd be curious to see who else is seeing this.
By the way "kglad" Thank you so much... please keep the suggestions coming... but everything you've suggested, i've tried.
This is very perplexing. Is this a setting issue? or is there some setting on the user side i'm not aware of? Either way, as usual... the flash developer is blamed so i must find a solution.

Quicktime movie not displaying properly

Hi,
Can anyone help?, I have inserted an mpg into a page using
the "plugin" symbol (is this correct?), and although it displays
correctly when i preview in browser, after i upload it to my server
and click on the link, it goes to the page, hangs there for a
while, and then displays a black vertical strip with numbers and
symbols in it?.
Is this likley to be a server prob or do i need to do
something with the file itself?
If anyone would be kind enough to help, then this is the
link:

Many thanks

yeah, this kinda *****... since there's no MMS, not being able to play QUICKTIME movies sent to my email on iphone is a real pain in the ***, plus it just does not make much sense.

Font in movie not displaying correctly

Take a look at
BPI.
The font in the slide show is supposed to be displaying as
"Verdana" and is instead displaying as Times New Roman it appears.
I could swear that when I first created this file the font
displayed correctly. Can anyone tell me what is going on here or
how to correct it? Thanks! At a minimum I would at least like to
have the font display larger - it's barely readable now :(

Image movie not displaying correctly

Hi All
I am trying to make a slideshow in Imovie that I will then attach in IDVD. When I import the images and play them they appear to zoom in and out with some images cutting off heads etc, how can I just display the image then move to the next without any special effects?

I believe your Ken burns effect is on. Uncheck and apply to all frames.
Hope this fixes it for you.

Photoshop TIFFs with layer masks do not display correctly

I am sure other people must have this problem, but I cannot find any related posts so here goes:
I open an image using the "open in external editor" command (typically a RAW file converted to a TIFF), edit in Photoshop and save the file (as a TIFF, I do not use PSD format)
If the PS edit contains any layer masks or alpha channels (masks in the channel pallet) it does not display correctly when it reappears in Aperture. Only the top most mask will display, assuming I have multiple layer masks in the PS edit.
Not only will the TIFF only appear as the mask in Aperture, but Aperture will print or email the mask, not the PS edited file as it should appear.
It seems that Aperture only recognizes the layer mask (or alpha channel mask) as the image, and all the other layers etc are disregarded.
Is this a confirmed bug, or is there some setting I have not correctly configured or some other issue?
I love Aperture, but this problem is nearly a deal-breaker for my workflow, and would be for any serious photoshop user, I would imagine!
I cannot believe this is still a problem in version 1.5, which is the version I am using (thus my system is 10.4.8)

David,
I assume you mean in the edited PS TIFF file:
In different cases I have either:
A. A TIFF file with layer a layer mask
B. A TIFF file with multiple layer masks
C. A TIFF file with an alpha channel mask
D. A TIFF file with multiple alpha channel masks
E. A TIFF file with any combination of the above
the outcome is the same, they all do not display correctly in Aperture. It does not seem to matter if the file was opened in PS from Aperture via the open with external editor command or if it was worked on outside Aperture entirely then imported. I do have maximize compatibility in PS checked (though I understand this is only for PSD files, though perhaps I am wrong here)
any thoughts?

Your problem is not the same as that of the original poster of this thread, and it can be very confusing for everybody if we try to answer more than one question in each thread.
In order for us to give your problem our undivided attention to try to solve it, would you kindly start your own thread, describing the trouble you are having in the fullest detail, including completing your details to show what Mac or iDevice you are using, what operating system, and what version of the application in question.

Search box not displaying correctly in Safari

How can the search bar on the Apple site not display correctly in Safari? I find this odd that Apple would allow this. It displays like 2 search boxes overlapping each other. It still functions correctly but it is a little embarrassing since I am always bashing windows pro browser display.

Hi
Welcome to Apple Discussions
Might be a corrupted cache or cookies issue. First, go to Safari Preferences>Security>Show Cookies. Type Apple in the Spotlight panel. Highlight/remove the cookies. Then, go to the Safari Menu>Empty Cache. Try the Apple site.
If the double search panel still appears, go to the Finder: Your User Account>Library>Caches. There, move to the trash the com.apple.safari file. Restart Safari and try the Apple site again.

How to fix the firefox buttons not displaying correctly (i.e. the "save file" button when trying to install an add on)?

For example, the button for "save file" when downloading an add-on does not display correctly. It works nevertheless, but the button itself is not showing up correctly.
*edit: sp errors*

It looks that you have made changes to the appearance of button that cause items and text to be larger.
In your case this doesn't seem to work properly with the consequence that the middle part of the button gets distorted.
I'm curious if this artifact would move to the other (Cancel) button or disappear if you would use the Tab key or cursor key to set focus to the Cancel button or if it is a problem with the label text that isn't default (OK or similar).

Compressing "masked' quicktime movie-mask has ragged edges and white areas

I have been masking quicktime movies with quicktime pro. I get a good-looking masked quicktime movie. But when I try to export to mp4 or other file types, the mask looks terrbile, the edges are ragged and some previously masked areas are now white. HELP!

i tried apple 1, 2, and 3 for actual, double, and full size, always a white border in full screen. at actual size the side borders are bigger than the top and bottom, double and full it's a crisp 1 pixel grey line all the way around. i made the mask file 481x641 and 482x642 with no changes at all, all of them cut way inside the edges of the picture to avoid that border.
strange part is at full size (more than double size for sure with these files) the border is exactly 1 pixel, not scaled up to 2.x pixels like you would expect if it was in the movie, not just the player sucking with masks. guess i'll hope someone notices and fixes in a future release. just like with the h.264 encoding border with masks. i guess the white border all the way around is better than a neon green one on the right side which i get with h.264
/someone not testing QT with simple rectangular masks it seems
here's a screenshot of my movie in fullscreen at double size so you can see the whole border:

GIF not displaying correctly

Hello! I'm trying to do animation in flash using GIFs I made (with transparency )as motion tweens, but I have an issue.
The gifs are playing fine, but after a while, after a certain frame, they are not displaying as they should and are instead displaing only certain random locations from these gifs, sometimes even becoming 99% of the area transparent.
When I go check the bitmaps on flash, they are also not displaying correctly and are indeed displaying the same wronge image that shows up on the preview, but when I preview the GIF I previously made in a browser then it shows perfectly ok.
Here is the gif I made (Working fine) : CAR-ANIM.gif - Google Drive
Here is what happens to it in FLash (it already has the background so don't pay atention to that) : Untitled-1.swf - Google Drive
So why is this happening? why is flash not loading or showing up these gifs correctly? Thanks in advance for the help.

I don't really know. If I look at your original gif, it has 47 frames and all of the frames look fine. When I import that gif into a Flash movie, I see the extra artifacts in the last 8 or so frames. If I import any other gif into a Flash movie, it looks and runs as expected.
If I remove the last few bitmaps from the list in the movie's Library, I can remove the problem from the playback. That's a simple solution, but it doesn't explain the source of the problem.

Overlapping DIV not displaying correctly

HALP! I have overlapped a DIV on purpose, the correct DIV is displayed on top on some computers but not on others and does not display correctly in Internet Explorer at all.
My link is below. I would like to display the DIV with the flash underneath the Bat DIV.
http://batengineering.bdaonline.co.nz/
Can anyone out there help me!

I see in IE6 that transparency is not handled well at all. .pngs are dicey with IE6.
If you want to make your Flash movie lie down behind the bat image, you need to give it a wmode="opaque". Otherwise, the Flash will always come to the front.
In IE6, IE7, and IE8, your top menubar is breaking, the right hand end cap is falling to the second line. You might want to put a little ease into it somehow.
On all IE and on Firefox on the Mac, there seems to be a nasty white vertical stripe on the right side...maybe a gap in width of the background image. Check to make sure you have a default background-color to make that go away.
On Safari on the Mac and Firefox on the PC, the Flash does not seem to show up at all in BrowserLab, although I see it on my XP; could be an artefact of BrowserLab's process.
W3c finds a few errors in the markup: http://validator.w3.org/check?uri=http://batengineering.bdaonline.co.nz/&charset=(detect+a utomatically)&doctype=Inline&group=0

Umlauts are not displayed correctly in different programs

Hello!
I live in germany, but my locale is set to "en_US.UTF8" because I like to have everything in english.
I do not have any problems with umlauts on the machine, but when I connect with sFTP oder Samba to it, the umlauts in files are not displayed correctly.
Look at this example
The upper word is how it looks in "ssh putty" (=locally on the machine), the bottom one is from "filezilla" (from my windows host)
This is my locale
locale
LANG=en_US.UTF-8
LC_CTYPE="en_US.UTF-8"
LC_NUMERIC="en_US.UTF-8"
LC_TIME="en_US.UTF-8"
LC_COLLATE="en_US.UTF-8"
LC_MONETARY="en_US.UTF-8"
LC_MESSAGES="en_US.UTF-8"
LC_PAPER="en_US.UTF-8"
LC_NAME="en_US.UTF-8"
LC_ADDRESS="en_US.UTF-8"
LC_TELEPHONE="en_US.UTF-8"
LC_MEASUREMENT="en_US.UTF-8"
LC_IDENTIFICATION="en_US.UTF-8"
LC_ALL=
When I create a file "asd_aöü" locally on the machine (with the help of ssh - putty), it looks fine, but when I connect by samba or filezilla again the umlauts are not displayed correctly.
Do you understand my problem? What can I do?
Thanks!

Did you check the locale settings on your Windows machine?

It seem all the date field can not be control in the report, and control by somthing else
Doese anyone come accross this problem?
Thanks

Hi Rong,
Are you using the following demonstration to build your JSP?
http://otn.oracle.com/products/reports/htdocs/getstart/demonstrations/index.html
(Output to Excel with Oracle9i Report)
I tried to do the same, and inserted a database date field in the JSP using Reports. I found the following:
While making the template inside Excel, if I make sure that the format of the date cells is "Date" - some particular date format, the date field values from Reports does not get exported correctly.
However, if you make sure that inside the template, the format of the date cells is not date, but "General", then the date field values are correctly exported to Excel.
Pl try it and let us know.

BPS_WB: Please Wait Dialog Box not Displaying correctly???

When we switched our Planning Interfaces to using the New Planning Interface Design the Please Wiat Dialog Box does not display correctly.
When a Request is fired and the client is waiting for the Response all that shows is a white block in the middle of the screen with no dialog screen or other information.
It maybe associated with the following:
function bpsOpenURLSelf(doIt, url)
      if (doIt) {
        try {
            document.body.style.cursor = "wait"; // works only in IE
        } catch (ex) {} // ignore
        open(url,'_self');
      // note: function with doIt==false is used to check
      //       existence of the opener window
Or it may be associated with a CSS issue?
I am currently using IE 6.0.2900.2180.
Any thoughts would be appreciated!
Thanks, ATC
