Noise after adding visual effects or tranisition

Hi there!
I recently edited a movie with iMovie. After adding some effects or transitions I noticed a strange noise (some kind of crackling).
Here are my questions:
How can I restore the original clips? I saved and closed that project before I noticed that crackling.
How can I avoid that noise when adding effects or transitions?
Thanks for your help!

Hello,
After adding some effects or transitions I noticed a strange noise (some kind of crackling). How can I avoid that noise when adding effects or transitions?
Unfotunately, that is a known problem with iMovie sometimes. See this:http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?artnum=107945
How can I restore the original clips?
Remove any transitions on either side of the clip you wish to restore. Click on the clip. Under 'Advanced' you should see the option to 'restore original clip.' Just select that and the entire clip from which that part came will replace it.

Jagged edges after adding 3d effect

I created a logo in Illustrator and sent it to the printer to print some business cards. They sent it back saying the edges of the 3D word look jagged and won't print well. What can I do to fix this? He says it's low res. But it's a vector, so it can't be low res. Thanks.
julie

It's not necessarily a vector path.
Is there a yellow triangle in the options of the 3D effect? Then something has been converted to pixels.
You'll need to set the raster effects resolution appropriately in that case. Use Effect > Document raster effects setting

Video no longer plays after adding 'effects', it's audio only

So I've used imovie 09 for months and everything has worked fine. Then today Iw as working on a video and added an effect to a clip and all **** broke loose. Now the video won't show up for every clip - it's audio only. I've tried closing imovie and restarting. I've even done a reinstall and EVERY other project and event works fine, it's just this particular video. I've created a whole new project, and even reimported all the video into a new event. But still when I add any effects to it, it'll play the title cards and the audio, but the video won't show up.
PLEASE HELP. Of course I have a deadline. Smh...

Try all these?
Shane's Stock Answer #8: External Monitor Viewing
CUTTING SO YOU ONLY SEE THE TROUBLESHOOTING THINGS
If for some reason you can't view your timeline on your external monitor, there are a few things to try:
1) Make sure that the camera/deck is connected and powered on BEFORE you open FCP.
2) In the Final Cut Pro menu select AUDIO/VIDEO Preferences and make sure your signal is being sent out thru Firewire DV.
3) Go to the menu and select VIEW>EXTERNAL>ALL FRAMES.
4) Click in the % box above the image and select FIT TO WINDOW.
5) Go to VIEW->refresh A/V devices
6) Make sure the Log & Capture window is closed
If you want it to play in both the canvas and the external monitor you need to go to the FINAL CUT PRO menu and select AUDIO/VIDIO settings and make sure MIRROR ON DESKTOP is selected under the PLAYBACK OUTPUT section.

Photoshop CS4 wont work unless Vista Visual effects are turned off.

Hey guys, having a problem with PS CS4 here.
Okay normally when I load photoshop after anywhere from a couple minutes to half an hour it starts to kind crash, all the graphics go crazy, and noise is everywhere, and its imprinting on other windows including my desktop and task bar, every time it ends with me having to restart my computer.
However I have figured out how to fix it, if I turn off the visual effects in vista, it doesn't do it anymore, however its annoying without the visual effects, so I'm trying to work out how to fix it, again.
And yes it sounds like a graphic driver problem to me, but I've made sure it was updated and also went through all the common bug fixes in PS CS4, could my computer not be graphically powerful enough to run it?
Thanks for all the help!

One thing I found useful with CS4 at one point in the past was to dial back the OpenGL advanced options to "Basic".
The real problem, if not hardware failure, is likely graphics drivers. Most folks think latest is greatest, but the graphics driver writers to this day are still struggling to get the incredibly complex OpenGL implementations to work properly.
If your graphics card is not quite current (e.g., a few years old or less) the driver writers do less and less work to keep the software up for it - makes sense, their company is no longer making any money by selling cards that have gone obsolete; they're working more on the software for the latest new model.

Why is a layer blending mode result altered by adding and effect?

I've done a search online and haven't come up with an answer but does anyone
know why a layers blending mode result is altered by adding an effect?
I am using CS3 on a PC (Windows XP SP2) and have two layers; one a Tiff and
a second a text layer with an ambient light and a spot shining on them. Both
layers have 3D turned on and accept lights and are in the same position in
space.
To make the text, which is coloured black, sit better I changed the layers
blend mode to soft light which works well.
I wanted to soften the edge of the text a little so I added a Fast Blur
effect and suddenly the result of the blend was completely different. If I
turn off the effect it goes back to what it was before but even if the Fast
Blur is set to zero, ie no blur on the layer, the blend result is altered.
Does anyone know what's going on?

Many thanks for that. I tried the Box Blur but it too shifted the result of the blend. In the end, to get this job out of the door, I changed the colour of the text to orange, lowered the opacity and used Multiply as the layer blend mode. Adding the Fast Blur effect to this didn't shift the result of the blend mode. It's not as sexy a look as using Soft Light but it works. I wonder if it's something going on with the maths or this a real bug? <[email protected]> wrote in message news:[email protected].. > Presumably a bug that uses the blur's convolution kernel when it > shoulddn't.

Image not appearing after adding adjustment layer?

My image layer isn't showing after adding an adjustment layer. I'm trying to turn a JPG picture of a nuclear explosion into a 3D/Camera effect.
I've added one solid layer below the JPG which is just grey. The JPG is in the middle. The adjustment layer is on top, with Colorama Get phase/Add phase from alpha channel. Plus turbulnce display added.
Whats going on? Or am I meant to do something else to the JPG first?

I figured out what was wrong- it just didn't appear in the static preview, but it was fine when I clicked composition>Preview. Is this how it looks normally?
I was attempting to make a weird 3D spinning pictures of nuclear explosions and bombs which panned/zoomed in and out of the images.

Iphotos ('09) visual effects workflow?

I shot 20 or so photos for use in visual effects for an After Effects project. I need to have those photos removed from the iphoto ecosystem so that I can have the source photo in my After Effects linked assets folder (with other things like artwork and movies) that can then be zipped up and sent to someone else in the workflow chain off-site.
What's the best way to move a photo from the library?
I understand I can click on it and select "show file", but I'd also like to remove it from the library without creating broken links. Is there a better way than this?:
-- show file in Finder
-- copy file to new location
-- via iPhoto, delete photo
Thanks for the input.

I did not know that.
Many thanks léonie!
And apologies to Greg.

Pictures "snap" after adding transitions

I'm very frustrated with IDVD. In every movie I make there are a few pictures that, after adding the transition they "flash", it happens usually at the begining of the movie, but not necessarily. It is a random flaw and it comes with a sound that is similar to the sound we hear when the monitor goes to sleep.
I've tried deleting, clearing the transition and the picture, but whatever stays in its place acquires the same defect. I don't know what else to do, I've tried everything. If someone knows what I should do, please write back, I have loads of clips to make, but I won't until I know how to fix this.
I've read similar complaints but with video after adding transitions, but mine only happens with pictures.
thank you,
Paula

Hello, Paula,
I noticed that you posted to the iDVD discussions, but your problem sounds as if it occurs with your iMovie, not iDVD.
Having a 'flash' with certain transitions has been noted in iMovie postings before. I have had that happen on occasion. The solution for many of us has been to delete the offending transition, and then play the end of the clip preceding the removed transition. You have to play it frame-by-frame, and you may see one frame of all white. Delete this one frame, redo the transition and you should be ok.
If the video is ok, but there is still a pop/snap/buzz noise, that is also a known problem and has occurred since iMovie 4. This 'popping' noise usually occurs between a silent photo and a video clip.There is no good solution yet, but if you zoom out the timeline until you see the cross-shape of the transition, you can select 'Show volume levels' and manually adjust the volume of the transition. Sometimes I have just lowered and then raised back the volume level bar and the noise has markedly reduced.
Hope this is helpful to you!

Looking for adding machine effect seen in "Supersize Me"

Does anyone know if you can do the following effect in Motion 3:
I'm trying to do an adding machine effect where you see figures change like you would on altimeter of an aircraft or an adding machine. I saw this effect in Morton Spurlock's "Supersize Me".
There must be some Motion 3 behavior or plug-in that can do this.
Thanks very much in advance,
- Nicholas

altimeter of an aircraft or an adding machine< </div>
Altimeters are usually analog dials. Adding machine would be an analog paper tape.
There are many cool gauge objects in Motion 3 and designing a paper tape simulation could be fun.
No idea how you would create a behavior to run the displays, though. (Easy in After Effects with an expressions control)

Has anyone found any visual effects on the new imove?

I like the new layout and stuff and the cutting film is nice, but i can't find any visual effects. the original had tons and now there gone. if anyone finds them post please
thanks

Upgrade to iMovie 06
Unless you don't care about...
* No timeline
* No granularity--only global audio changes allowed
* No chapter markers for iDVD
* No Share to iDVD
* Loss of multiple audio tracks
* No sound on import
* Loss of plugin support
* Cannot change transition speed after inserting a transition without making global changes
* No audio waveforms
* Cannot vary clip speed
* No pause control for titles
* Cannot play audio over black (when the clip is over, so is your audio. Apple knows best!)
* Cannot select a sequence of clips to move elsewhere within the movie
* Cannot overlap audio tracks (again...no multiple tracks)
* No themes (they WERE amazing)
* Cannot extract audio (of course, you can't do much of ANYTHING with audio in this thing)
* Cannot import projects from older versions without losing, well...everything important.

What are some good visual effects programmes for the Mac?

I have been editing with Final Cut Express since 05 and I want to be able to do fancy visual effects I cannot do with Final Cut Express so I put it to you; what are some good visual effects programmes for the Mac? I know there is Adobe After Effects but I am wondering if there are any others, including from Apple.

Or does it? Because by purchasing Motion, you also get the Pro Res codecs and Animation. Will FCE be able to work with them if they're in your QT library? I think so but am not positive. I'd check with the FCE gurus in that discussion forum.
So I half answered my own question. FCE will respect the alpha channel in a PR 4444 file. But from the limited testing I was able to to, there doesn't seem to be a way to export it ( or other flavors of PR) as a PR sequence. It renders as AIC, which is fine. FWIW, it can always be exported as Pro Res via QT Conversion, but why bother?
However, I now have to say – despite what I said in my first post – that I'm not 100% percent certain that the all the codecs will be available by buying Motion. I'm like 95% sure, the more I think about it. But I have too much NLE and graphics "stuff" on my systems to test it conclusively.

Flashing after adding transitions

Has anyone experienced flashing after adding transitions especially using cross fades. It does not matter what length the effect is. It is frustrating and unacceptable. I have not received one answer in the past. Ever since I added ILife 06 this is is started. Maybe I should get rid of the Ilife update?

I have had the same thing happen. I dont know why but I have solved it two ways - save, quit and reopen. If that doesnt work delete the transition and replace it.

After adding folders to iTunes library, now have duplicates of each song

I store all my music on a separate drive, M:\
I have a specific file structure setup that has worked for me for years, M:\Artist\Album
I recently received an iPod for my birthday, and started using iTunes. After adding my music drive (M:\) for inclusion into the library (without "keep..." and "copy..." selected, as to keep my current file structure intact), when selecting "File->Display Duplicates" just about every song in the library has a duplicate, one in the original folder "M:\Artist\Album", and another in "M:\Playlists\..\Artist\Album". I understand that basically somehow iTunes glitched and started in the "M:\Playlist" directory when adding to the library at some point, however I am at a loss as to how. In my actual folders I only have 1 copy of each song, so basically iTunes is making a symbolic link to each song and adding it into the library as a separate song.
I have over 9000 (must...resist...meme...) songs in my library, and removing and restoring takes quite a while. I'm pretty sure I'm going to have to do this at least once now, but any ideas as to why or advice on how to avoid this particular problem in the future?
I am pretty set in my ways of my current file structure, since I don't use iTunes as my primary media software, so I would prefer to not have to resort to succumbing to just letting iTunes handle everything the way it wants (I pretty much hate that).
Thank you for any suggestions you may have.
EDIT: Is there a way to have iTunes rename/move files when adding to its library to specific folders via custom rules based on ID3 information (i.e. WMP rip settings)?
Message was edited by: kaziekama

If you have "Keep..." and "Copy..." unchecked, iTunes will simply reference the existing file, and will not change your file structure, as you correctly note.
I'm fairly sure that some other program is operating on your files. The "Playlists" folder that you mention has nothing to do with iTunes. On my PC, only Windows Media and Roxio use it.
To your question +"Is there a way to have iTunes rename/move files when adding to its library to specific folders via custom rules based on ID3 information (i.e. WMP rip settings)?"+ the answer is no. When iTunes rips a CD, it names the files as track number and title, with no option to do differently. And as far as placing the ripped files, they go in Artist/Album, with no option to do differently. As full-featured ripping programs go, iTunes is not even in the race.

How do I set up my Imac after adding a SSD along with my existing HD

How do I set up my Imac after adding a SSD so that my system and apps are on the SSD and everything else is on the HD? I am using mountain Lion. I want to make sure I can still do Time Machine backups.
I was planning on first formatting the SSD and then using Migration Assistant to copy the System and the Library and the Apps over. Where it gets confusing is the User account where some of the items will be on the SSD but I want all my folders to be on the HD. Do I just not copy over that other stuff and once I restart from the SSD it will know where all the folders are? Is there anything I need to know about setting up a time machine backup after that? Will the backup I had from the one drive have to be erased and start a whole new backup?
I just want to do this right so I don't have some major problems.
Thanks for any help.
Michael

time machine backed up your whole system data/everything in time machine hdd.
you want to use ssd over hdd so you need to put new mac os x in ssd.
then copy all the stuff that you want to put in ssd.
from my point of view put the mac os x and other application in ssd and leave other data in hdd.(music,movies,etc....)
