Moving the video layer causes it to distort

I'm editing 2K keyed green screen footage. It's over a new background, but when I shift the top layer in any direction, the footage gets distorted. If I move it left, the left side gets pulled, so my image gets streched wider, move it up and the image gets taller and so on.
I'm not very good with motion, so this is probably just something I'm doing wrong. Does anybody have any suggestions?

Could be a number of things, but the most obvious guess would be that PBS has relatively narrow bandwidth. The people in Congress who think that Masterpiece Theater is intellectual sedition and Sesame Street is a communist plot to indoctrinate our children have been strangling PBS's cash flow since sometime the early '80s.
Unfortunately, the aesthete voting block doesn't have a particularly big political voice in the US (as though it has a big political voice anywhere).  We'll just have to continue trading our carefully hoarded recordings of 'good' television programs in secret.

  • Mac computers - FF 29.0 and 30.0 does not display the video layer in the Revolution Slider section of WordPress site. Why?

    Mac computers - FF 29.0 and 30.0 does not display the video layer in the Revolution Slider section of WordPress site. Why?
    We prepared simple Word Press web site. We used a Revolution slider plugin with HTML5 video layer. It works properly on Chrome, Safari, older Mozilla FF.
    But we had a problem on PC computers with FF 29.0 30.0 – after reinstall of browser everthing seems to be OK. The slider works. Unfortunately even the reinstallation on Mac computers does not help. There is no visible video on Mac FF 30.0.
    We are looking for some information what we can do to solve this problem. Could you help?

    Can you play the video on YouTube?

    A possible cause is security software (firewall) that blocks or restricts Firefox or the plugin-container process without informing you, possibly after detecting changes (update) to the Firefox program.
    Remove all rules for Firefox from the permissions list in the firewall and let your firewall ask again for permission to get full unrestricted access to internet for Firefox and the plugin-container process and the updater process.

  • Cp8.0 html5 file plays fine in chrome, but moving the timeline button causes audio to vanish. what to do?

    I have created a session with a combination of ppt slides with audio, and also a screen capture with audio and put it all together and published in html5. seems to work fine, i can open it on my computer by clicking on the html5 file (chrome and IE.) Moving the continuous scroll pointer often causes the audio to not be played. I know I can advance with forward and reverse buttons, that works ok. (Refreshing the html5 file in the browser fixes things and goes back to start)  This opens up many questions for a novice like myself:
    1. Am I posting this in the right place?
    2. Is the timeline button shown only to be admired from afar, and not touched ?
    3. Has this been fixed in 8.1 ?
    4. I don't want or need scalable window sizes ( 1300 by 720 is fine,) so should i not use html5 at all ? I want it to work on IE, Chrome, and Firefox.

    thanks. i see i need to explain better:
    I am describing the browser window as it appears if you simple display the html5 file that is created by publishing. I have not added a single button or feature to control movement. my project consists of slides with audio that advance after so many seconds, a captured screen sesssion, more slides, and a quiz. The buttons for play, forward, backward, and the horizontal progress bar with the 'button' (upward pointing triangle) are all native to the html that is being displayed and 'played.'
    Now, seeing that displayed, a user would be tempted to hit these buttons and to move the linear time by grabbing and moving the triangle pointer. sometimes this works perfectly, but sometimes moving the pointer causes audio to disappear and it will not play again on any slide. is this a clear description of the problem ? I do not understand some of your comments, but it seems that we were not on the same page, so it seems ok not to understand. FYI, my published  ~10 minute sessions are about ~20 MB for all files and folders.
    8.1 doesn't exist. i see, my mistake. i meant 8.0.1
    I do not need anything but a screen with 1300x720 resolution, so i will try going to SWF. I am recording a session to teach a software tool that is based on the eclipse environment, and the screen capture includes many graphics and much text, so any scaling whatsoever makes it ugly and hard to read. At one point i may have been thinking of scalable windows, but i realize now it is the last thing i need. The quality of the capture is excellent with 1300x720 ( and since 720 is native for powerpoint, i have no scaling in either ppoint or the captured screen sessions.

  • PS CC Video Layer Smart Object error

    I think I have found a bug, I'd like to see if it's reproducible for others.  I don't know what the actual error is, but the error message says 'Photoshop could not complete the request because of a program error' (which I'm guessing is just a general error message that could be any number of things).  To cause the bug, create a new blank video layer, and draw something on a few frames.  Convert the layer to a smart object, and make a copy of the object on the timeline.  Add transform key frames to each layer.  Save the file.  At this point, the file should still be able to play what is on the timeline (for me it does).  Close the file, and attempt to reopen.  PS should be unable to open the file.
    Additional Info:
    Whether the Smart object is composed of a single layer, or multiple layers, the error occurs.
    I've only tested it so far with scale/rotation transformations, may happen with opacity and position
    Altering the opacity and position of the second smart object without setting key-frames doesn't cause the error (just altering the opacity from the layers panel for example, or moving the video layer with move tool).
    Timeline frame rate doesn't seem to affect it one way or another.
    A few times when I didn't cause the issue intentionally for testing, I was still able to open the file, but attempting to start playback would then cause the error, which would crash Photoshop altogether.  In those cases, I was able to find that one of the smart object layers in particular would crash photoshop when visibility was enabled/disabled, so I was able to drag all the other layers into a new file, only loosing one layer.
    EDIT:  Just to add, my question was: Can other people reproduce this bug? 

    I can also reproduce this bug.
    It is also reproducible by creating a regular document.
    Add a few layers with content.
    Convert a few of those layers into a smart object.
    Animate the contents of the smart object.
    Everything works as expected. Timeline plays. Looks good.
    Save: Get PS error "Photoshop could not update smart object because of a program error"
    Save the animated file as it's own PSD just in case.
    Close.
    Re-open: Nothing works. Cannot scrub timeline, cannot save for web, cannot play timeline, cannot move objects.
    Everything results in the error: "Photoshop could not complete the request because of a program error"
    I have inadvertently lost a few hours of work a couple of times now due to this bug. It sucks because the work is there right in front of me but none of it is accessible to me.

  • Timeline Video Layer goes blank after 4 seconds! PLEASE HELP

    I'm trying to create a time-lapse video using Photoshop CC.
    I follow the steps presented in this tutorial:
    Assembling a time lapse | Photoshop | lynda.com - YouTube
    I have done this before successfully, but now when I bring the Video Layer from File onto Timeline, Photoshop only plays 4 seconds and 2 frames of the footage (stills); the rest of the sequence is blank. I tried exporting and the same issue persists. I did not have this problem before. I'm using TIFF files as before.
    Please tell me how I can bypass this issue. I have tried importing the footage (stills) which are after the 4 second mark ON THEIR OWN (starting my import selection from a later point in the timee-lapse sequence), and the files open and play well. It is as if there is a 4 second and 2 frames limit set on the timeline.

  • Is it possible to overlay a PNG over video layer?

    This process may be strange but there's a reason for this madness. We are taking h.264 .mp4 videos into PowerPoint then using the Acrobat 9 extended pro add-on and converting this file to a .pdf. There's possibly a need to put a watermark over the video. However when we insert a transparent PNG over the video in PowerPoint then convert it to .PDF the video punches through the PNG. It seems like the video layer wants to be the frontmost even if listed as part of the background in Acrobat. We can go back to the video and do it there but we would have to process the video again so we're trying to avoid that. Any ideas?

  • How do i move the second layer?

    I can move the first layer (background) however I'm having trouble moving the second layer.

    What does that layer contain? A normal pixel layer, you can use the move tool {v}. A shape layer you can use the direct selection tool {a} make sure the layer is selected first, then with the direct selection tool click on the path to move. You can also use the group selection tool this moves the object only whereas the direct selection tool can select points on the path and move just those.
    If you are unsure, capture your entire screen with the layers panel open and any collapsed layers expanded. Then post it here.

  • (Video) Moving Layer Causing Lag Issue with Latest Photoshop CC (12-14-2014)

    Video: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=EQPtBTrjfzw
    I have a 218 MB PSD file that is causing me major headaches. Any time I start up the file, dragging a single layer goes at about 2 frames per second. However, if I delete one layer or simply cut and paste a layer, the lag is fixed.
    From the video:
    - Deleting a hidden layer fixes the lag
    - Removing one background layer fixes the lag
    - Cutting and pasting any background layer onto a new layer fixes the lag...
    Saving and returning to the doc causes it to lag again.
    Anyone know what's going on? Photoshop Preferences:

  • After FlashPlayer 11.04, a website with videos on, like YOUTUBE opens a seperated process and the videos appear in the left top corner and can't be moved.

    After updating to a version after FlashPlayer 11.02 when opening a window with flash videos on, next to the process of Firefox in the Task Bar appears a new process with the Flash Player icon and the video window is placed in the top left corner and can't be moved. If there are more then one video in that page when clicking that Flash Player icon you can see a list of all the videos.
    Using FlashPlayer 11.02 this problem doesn't happen and I used this solution for some time, but now If I use that version I get a black window with an error message about security reasons, but if I click it it plays without any problem. Although in some websites that need Flash it says it needs at least version 10, but I have 11.02 but doesn't recognize it and demands to be upgraded.
    This is all very weird because only happens in my laptop, I have a desktop with the exact same windows and Firefx version and this doesn't happen. I already tried to uninstall Firefox completly and even deleteing all plugins and extensions and the problem remains.
    Uninstalling Flash player also solves this, but then I'm asked to update the the Flash player. This problems doesn't happen in Chrome or IExplorer 10:

    Recent crashes of certain multimedia contents (this includes Youtube videos, certain flash games and other applications) in conjunction with Firefox are most probably caused by a recent Flash 11.3 update and/or a malfunctioning Real Player browser plugin.

  • Text Problem - 'Editing or Rendering the text layer will cause the layout to change'

    Hello all,
    The problem I'm having is that when I try to edit a text layer, the layout of the layer changes completely - I have a grey warning triangle in the affected layer thumbnail that states the following message when I hover over it :
    'Font is present on system but requires a layout change'
    When I double click to edit the text layer, the following warning dialog pops up:
    'Editing or Rendering the text layer will cause the layout to change'
    I'm forced to click 'okay' to proceed which is when the layout of the text layer changes completely! Obviously this has massive implications for branding and page consitency!!
    Now even if I have to do this the long way round, which means rebuilding each individual text layer for every single document, there is another problem, it appears that after I click 'OK' photoshop distorts the text! This means that I can't increase or decrease the font size to match it up! Same font, Same height, same AA, same weight, different circle radius!
    Any help is massively appreciated,
    I'm using CS5 64bit Cloud edition on Windows 7, I've already tried updating and reinstalling Photoshop but it doesnt remedy the problem, I've reinstalled a sample batch of the fonts affected and deleted any plugins
    GULP!

    That warning is pretty clear - you don't appear to have the font on your system. Not sure what otehr answer you are looking for. The layout changes beyond that could be indicative of a million things like the original source layers having been heavily customized with manual kerning, used a different version of a seemingly similar font, have been created with glyph substitution on a system with a different language and whatever... Unless you mean you created the files yourself just yesterday and the warning appears despite nothing have changed, everything works as intended. If you think something is up, you need to provide more info.

  • Video with alpha channel causing frame size distortion

    I have a lower-third which I built in AE. The content only occupies about 2/3 the width of the frame however I made sure I exported it at the full frame size as the rest of the video in my Premiere project. Also, I exported it as a quicktime movie with PNG settings to incl. the alpha channel.
    When I import it into Premiere CS4, I drop it in on the Video 2 layer over Video 1 which is the main VT and in the preview, it all seems to be appearing as you'd expect. If I hit enter to start rendering, when it finishes I find that the lower third has been stretched the full width of the frame and additionally, Video 1 has been stretched too. I know there's an option in Preferences > General to default everything to the frame size of the sequence but having that tickbox on or off doesn't make any difference.
    Does anyone have any ideas what's causing it?

    Windows. Alas neither of those options worked. In the end, it was terribly convoluted but I had to export the footage from Premiere without a graphics, then import the video into After Effects and layer my comp over it - then export the final version from AE rather than Premiere. It seemed a very back-to-front way of doing things but if it works...
