My logo.png image keeps shaking in FCP.

Hi everyone,
I imported a *.png logo created in photoshop in FCP. I intend to put it at the bottom right of my movie for the whole duration of it.
The problem is, in the timeline, whenever a cross fade starts/ends the logo shivers (shift up and down).
I want it steady.
How can I solve this problem?
Thank you very much

No, Meg the Dog was correct. It is because it is not rendered.
Go to Sequence > Render (I think it is called Render Selection in FCP 6) and tick all of the items in this menu. Then select the transition and press Cmd-R. The "shaking" should disappear.
Alternatively, if your system is up to it, switch on Unlimited RT and/or High Playback Quality in the RT menu in the top left of the timeline.

Saving .png images from Photoshop for FCP

Is it best to save them as Interlaced or Progressive?
They are for import into Final Cut Pro, then exported as part of a motion menu for use in DVD Studio Pro.
Will one option give better quality over another?
The project is SD PAL.

One thing that's confusing me is some button boxes I've made up for DVDSP.
They don't look the same thickness in FCP yet they are identical in Photoshop. It's very annoying!
Might be because they are not sitting exactly on a scan line, so a top or bottom edge is getting cut off.
Try moving the suspects up or down slightly.
Do you have a thin, surrounding edge on them? Make it a little bit thicker.

hedger,
How do you expect anyone to help when we don't know a darned thing about the file, abut your setup, exact version of Photoshop and your OS, machine specs, etc.?
BOILERPLATE TEXT:
Note that this is boilerplate text.
If you give complete and detailed information about your setup and the issue at hand,
such as your platform (Mac or Win),
exact versions of your OS, of Photoshop (not just "CS6", but something like CS6v.13.0.6) and of Bridge,
your settings in Photoshop > Preference > Performance
the type of file you were working on,
machine specs, such as total installed RAM, scratch file HDs, total available HD space, video card specs, including total VRAM installed,

Keep transparency of png image with type TYPE_BYTE_INDEXED

Hi, i have a problem with a few png images. they have the type TYPE_BYTE_INDEXED. if i do any resizing or anything else with Graphics2D the transparency is lost..
here is a simple example..
        BufferedImage bi = ImageIO.read(new File(args[0]));
        double w = 450;
        double oriw = bi.getHeight();
        double orih = bi.getWidth();
        double h = (oriw/orih)*450;
        Image image = bi.getScaledInstance(450, (int)h , bi.getType());
        BufferedImage biRes = new BufferedImage((int)w,(int)h,bi.getType());
        Graphics2D bufImageGraphics = biRes.createGraphics();
        bufImageGraphics.drawImage(image, 0, 0, null);
        System.out.println(biRes.getType());
        ImageIO.write(biRes, "png", new File(args[2]));my actual java program is more complex like this..
is there anyway to "rescue" the transparency?
p.s. sorry for my bad english ;)

Try something like this:
BufferedImage biRes = new BufferedImage(bi.getColorModel(), bi.getColorModel().createCompatibleWritableRaster(w, h), bi.isAlphaPremultiplied() , null);You have to copy the color table to the new image.
The transparency data is written there.

Files with .png images create huge .pdf's

I use .png images in PowerPoint presentations and these seem to create huge .pdf files. (...don't have this problem using .jpg images) For example, I have a 48 slide presentation that has a small .png image in the "slide master" so it will show up on every page. The PowerPoint file is 2.3MB, however the .pdf of it is 33.3MB, making it WAY too big to email, which was my objective.
Any ideas on how to reduce the size of .pdf's which contain .png images?
...note that I "compressed" the .png images inside of PowerPoint prior to creating the .pdf, but this made no impact.
Thanks,
pm

>I have a 48 slide presentation that has a small .png image in the "slide
>master" so it will show up on every page.
PowerPoint only has to store one instance of the image even thought it is
displayed on multiple slides. But Acrobat can't do the same, the image has
to be stored for every page that it appears on, so that would explain the
larger file size.
Acrobat is supposed to be able to optimize the storage of common background
images (at least that's the message I see when I do a "Save as..."), but I
have yet to see it to work. Maybe it depends on the application the orginal
file is created in and the PDF conversion method used.
Adding the image into a PDF file later as a watermark instead may be a way
to keep the size down (then it really only does store the object once),
though I believe that watermark images will appear in front of everything
else on the page (not sure if that's a problem for you, it depends on
whether any text or objects in the presentation ever appear in front of the
image).
What are the dimensions and resolution of the image in PowerPoint? You may
be able to go as low as 75 dpi and not notice a difference, it depends on
whether the image contains any areas of high contrast or text.

Trouble converting powerpoint files with png images to pdf-Can someone help?

Hello all,
In my line of work, I create and modify large sized posters that are created in powerpoint. I would have the files print ready by converting them to pdf. I usually have little to no issues executing this. However, I have been dealing with an issue of converting ppt files with png images. The size of the ppt is typically a 42x56 file. The several ways to convert to pdf produces an error each time. Png images are very useful as they provide much clarity vs jpegs or tiffs. The 3 ways I have tried below are:
A) File>Print>Adobe PDF>High Quality print settings/300dpi results to an error message that says:
     "Windows cannot print due to a problem with the current print setup. Try one of the following:
     *Check the printer by printing a test page from Windows.
     *Make sure the printer is turned on and online.
     *Reinstall the printer driver"
     A blank pdf opens up (Selected to open file after publishing)
B) File>Save as> Change file type as a pdf results in nothing happening. No pdf is produced.
C) Acrobat>Create PDF results to an error message that says: "An unexpected error occured. PDFMaker was unable to produce the Adobe PDF."
Again, this all happens with ppt files with png images. I took out the png images and attempted to convert to pdf, and the pdf is produced!
Can anyone provide any assistance in creating pdfs with png images or what settings I need to adjust? I am able to covert every other image type (jpeg, tiff, bmp), except for png images.
I am using Microsoft Office 2010 with Adobe Acrobat X on Windows 7 (This happened on Windows XP as well).

Exporting PNG Image Sequence in Compressor?

Hi everyone!
Can anyone help? Any Compressor pro's out there?
I can successfully export sequences via Final Cut Pro using Quicktime conversion as .PNG Image Sequences retaining the alpha channel (millions+). However in Compressor the Image Sequence settings seem to ONLY support targa or tiff, IS there a way to export the image sequence using compressor as a alpha channel PNG!
You can export the sequence as a .mov with the png codec.. but I must have it as the image sequence!
Any ideas anyone?

Sorry, but I have not been able to find an option for exporting image sequences with Alpha channel in Compressor either. I submitted a bug report about this a few months ago.
Why do you need to use Compressor? If it is for deinterlacing or resizing, you could export from FCP using Compressor, and choose to export a QuickTime movie using the Animation codec at 100%. After that, you can export your Animation file to a PNG image sequence using QuickTime Pro.
It is the only workaround I can think of at the moment.
I would recommend submitting a bug report: http://www.apple.com/feedback/compressor.html

Using .png images in a website?

Being new'ish to Fireworks and the .png format I am really amazed at the quality of png's in a webpage and how the hold their quality. In web design I tend to like placing text over images and this can often have quality issues as text tends not to work to well with a jpeg unless you increase the resolution before hand.
I have found that while I edit an image in FW and place text over an image if I then save as a jpeg the image may not be as clear as I would like, if I keep it as a .png the quality is perfect.
I know why this is but on doing some research have found that .png's are still not universally used across may web browsers and as a result it is advised not to use them.
Some forums say they are fine while others say the opposite in using 'png's in web design, does anyone have any thoughts on this?
I want to use .png's in my web design instead of jpegs but am undecided from what I read on the Internet so would appreciate any thoughts you may have regarding this.
Many thanks, Pete.

On PNG images:
When you "save" from Fireworks, the file contains extra information in the file header which is proprietary to FW. The file will be viewable in a browser, as browsers just ignore the extra information, but the file is larger than is needed for a Web page. To create a .png file for a browser, you want to "export." (I like using the Image Preview function, myself.) There is no difference in the file extension between a fully-editable FW document .png and a flattened exported .png. In a thread some time ago, a poster commented that he gave his Fireworks documents a .fw.png extension, and exported to the plain .png. I've tried to adopt that approach and I find it helps me keep better track of what's what in my folders. It's up to me to remember to do it, though.
Exported PNG images can be 32-bit, 24-bit or 8-bit. Here's the difference:
A 32-bit PNG will represent your FW document with transparency. All the objects will be flattened, of course, but transparent and partially transparent areas will be preserved. The file is 32-bit as you have 8-bits each for red, green, blue, and transparency. Eight bits of data gives you 256 values. (Note: Photoshop calls this a version of the format a 24-bit PNG with transparency.)
A 24-bit PNG does not have transparency. The 24 bits of data are 8-bits (256 values) for red, green, and blue. In this sense, it is similar to a JPEG, although you do not have the data loss or the color shifts.
An 8-bit PNG has 256 colors in a list. In a way, this is similar to a GIF image. The interesting thing about PNG8, however, is that colors in PNG8 in Fireworks can be semi-transparent. In a GIF, you have the option of selecting only one color to be fully transparent.
Using PNG images on the Web
You will want to export to PNG32, PNG24, or PNG8, as appropriate for your needs. Do not overwrite your Fireworks document! If you use Image Preview when exporting slices, and select a .png format, then that setting will be set for that slice. You can't select .png from the Property Inspector.
If you need to support Internet Explorer 6, you can use PNG24 with no problem. IE6 will render any semi-transparent areas of PNG32 or PNG8 images as fully transparent. To support PNG32 in your Web pages on IE6, you need to add special code. Even then, however, your visitors' browsers can lock up under circumstances that are not fully understood (http://blogs.cozi.com/tech/2008/03/transparent-pngs-can-deadlock-ie6.html). If you know your visitors won't be using IE6, or the content in the transparent PNGs is purely decorative, then maybe that's not an issue for you.
Here's a roundup of techniques for using transparent PNGs at Smashing Magazine:
http://www.smashingmagazine.com/2008/04/16/getting-creative-with-transparency-in-web-desig n/
File Size
Choose the best file type for the image you have. No one file type is always better. If you need to support IE6 still, and you can think of how to do your site without transparent PNGs, then the coding will be easier and the cross-browser compatibility will be better. If you use Image Preview (under the File menu item), you can change the quality level for JPEGs. The default level is 80%, which may not be a high enough quality level for a particular image. Higher quality means larger image size, but for photographic elements, a JPEG may still be smaller than a PNG for a given visual quality. It depends on the image content; each image is different.
Gradients and Banding
Fireworks creates strict numerical interpolations between the two colors you use for your gradients. If the colors are close together, you may not have enough intermediate colors to span the distance you want to cover and you will get bands. Photoshop produces what appear to be smoother gradients, because that application adds subtle noise into the gradient to prevent banding.
Indexed Palettes
If your image contains more than 256 colors and you select an image format with an indexed palette (GIF or PNG8), you may find that Fireworks produces a palette with fewer than 256 colors. This is a known "feature" of the program and there's no known workaround. If you decide to produce transparent PNG8 images, you need to be aware that this can happen.
And...that's all I can think of that touches on your issues.

Dreamweaver CS4 dead slow on windows 7 after inserting some png images, I can't scroll. Why?

I am using Dreamweaver CS4 on windows 7, I put some png images in table and one 900px width image on background, now I cannot scroll the page, I can work smoothly on code view, but really dead slow in design view, Why? I am using Toshoba Tecra laptop - Core 2 Duo 1.8GHz with 2.5GB RAM.
Is it related to cache? Is it need any special settings for using too many images? Please help.

Thanks dear, The image has 1.08MB, but I find out the problem - I have 3 transparent images(less than 1kb) as table backgrounds, When I removed those images it works smoothly, I can scroll as well. But to keep the design how can I use transparent image without slowdown. The images are in PNG-24 format and i used those through CSS.
Thanks for your help.

HT201412 Restore did not work.The ipad mini says it is disabled, connect to itunes.When connected, it says that it is locked! After Recovery/Restore completed, device still malfunctions. The slide image keeps dancing around the screen.Device types on its

What if you have a situation where Restore did not work. I do. The ipad mini says it is disabled, connect to itunes. When connected, it says that it is locked! I have tried using Recovery/Restore but after it completed, the ipad mini still malfunctions. It does not allow you to start the device. The slide image keeps dancing around the screen. The opening page keeps changing in size and the keyboard types on its own! What can be done to fix this????????

Maybe a reset would help, to be followed by trying the recovery again.
To reset, hold the on/off and home buttons together for about 10 seconds till the Apple logo appears. Then do the recovery.
If this doesn't solve it, I recommend visiting an Authorized Apple Service Center.

Adding a logo or image in WAD

Hello sdn friends,
how to include a logo r image in WAD.Answer to me step by step.

Hello,
IMHO is PNG also OK. (All formats that are browser is able to read)
Are you able to see the image if you paste the URL into the browser? After loading it to the repository, it is accessable via browser. - And in the template you write only the img-tag to the image.
Best regards,

Export error caused by .png image

I'm quite a noob on FCPX and am struggling with this!
When I try to share my project, in any format, the Quicktime Error 50 comes up and it cannot export.
I have identified the problem as being a .png image used across the whole timeline as a watermark logo. It exports fine without it. Problem is, I want the logo!
How can I reformat the image so FCPX doesn't reject it or is there another way to get round this issue?
Thanks!

Success! Thank You Tom!

Using .png images as icons?

Is there any reason why I can use a .png image as an icon when using a program like LiteIcon, but when I go to "get info" of an application and try to copy/paste the icon, the .png image reverts to a default preview icon?

Not sure we're on the same page here:
1. Double click the png file, it should open in Preview
2. Go to the Edit menu and select Copy
3. Select a folder you want to have that image as its icon
4. Do GetInfo on the folder, click the wee little icon at the top of the GetInfo window of the folder
5. Do a Paste--the folder now will have the image that is open in Preview as its icon
The pngs will NOT preserve transparency doing this--they'll just be a regular picture. Same deal with layered tiffs. In order to keep the transparency you need to either convert to the icns format then use icns2icon, or just use Pic2Icon on the png file. You don't use it change pngs to anything: just drop the png in the image well of Pic2Icon and it will add a custom thumb to the png file. Anyway, it does for me. Then you do GetInfo on the png, copy the wee little icon at the top, and paste in the GetInfo box of some other file or folder.

The icons on my iPad 2 keep shaking and then it reboots continuously - NOT CUSTOMISATION

This started on saturday night (it's now tuesday) and I don't know what to do!
I took it into the store and they said they couldn't help, but advised me to do a factory reset, so I did and if anything, it made it worse.
The icons on the home screen keep shaking and jerking around, and when they stop shaking, my ipad goes black, then the apple logo appears, then it goes black again, and this continues for hours. (It's been doing that since sunday night)
At the apple store, they said they could send it off to be repaired for £250! I might as well buy a new tablet! Besides all that, I've only had my iPad 2 for two years, and after spending £400 on a brand new one, I expected it to last longer.
I'm really disappointed.
Please help?

You will need to force the iPad into recover mode then restore as new. You may need to try this several times for it to "stick" so don't give up.
Follw these instructions.

Load PNG Images and draw on them.

I have to load a png image in a JPanel and then draw on this image. How is the way to do it? I've tried several ways but I don't achieve nothing.

Hi,
Re:
<BLOCKQUOTE><font size="1" face="Verdana, Arial, Helvetica">quote:</font><HR>
...I guess the conclusion is even though you can use PL/SQL to get the
PNG images into the database - like we've done here. There is no real
point, because one cannot retieve them with standard Java Intermedia
calls.
<HR></BLOCKQUOTE>
On the contrary - I just grabbed a PNG image from our 9i test system, uploaded it using the photo album servlet demo to my 8.1.7 database (which doesn't 'do' PNG) and retrieved it using the same servlet. My Netscape came with the QuickTime Plugin, so the PNG image got displayed as would any other image.
OK, I admit I had to admit modify the demo a little, but it is just a sample after all, not a full-blown, production web application. For upload, all I had to do was trap the exception raised when it tries to create the thumb-nail. There were 2 changes for retrieval. For the thumb-nail page, if there isn't a thumb-nail, ie getContentLength() == 0, then it displays the text "[view image]" instead of the thumb0nail image. For the full-size page, it only generates the height and width tags if getHeight() and getWidth() both return non-0 values. I didn't have to modify the method that actually delivers the data at all. It just uses the BLOB, MIME type and content length (which you sent when you loaded the image, right?!). The height and width tags aren't required. They just speed things up if present, because the browser knows ahead of time how much space to reserve, so can keep rendering the page, rather than wait for the image to arrive.
