Not Smooth, Jerky & Slow.

Is anyone having this problem? Got leopard, set up my dock to magnify and automatically hide and show dock. As i tested, it lagged. Literally only had finder running. Turned off magnification and doesn't lag UNTIL you open 4 or 5 or more apps.. At the same time expose lags as-well as spaces. Really ruins the experience. Never had this problem with Tiger

Greetings,
In my particular case, I have had a smooth ride so far. I did an upgrade on this Macbook, and each of the installation methods on five of my other machines.
I have Pages, MSN IM, Numbers, iTunes, and iPhoto all open, right now, and the magnification, and the Genie effect are smooth as they can be. I have 2 Gig of Ram in this 2.16 Gig MacBook. Of course the more you load up, the slower the reaction time will be, it all depends on available memory, but as far as jerkiness, or being quirky goes, I have not seen that on any of my machines, so far.
I did notice with one of my machines that after I did an upgrade, I was sure that it should be quicker, so I backed up everything, and did a fresh load, by repartitioning and the disk, same sizes, just a different name. I reinstalled all the software that it had before, but it is noticeably faster and the space required was a bit less.
I won't use the upgrade method any longer, I like the speed difference and it's nice to have a clean drive/load. I'm sure not everyone is likely to see it this way, but to each his own.
I hope this helps in some small way. Have a Grand Day.
Cheers,
M.

  • Screen Recording Video in QTX Not Smooth/Jerky

    Hi. I have been experimenting with the Screen Record function in the Snow Leopard QT version and after I stop the video, the playback is a bit jerky, not smooth frame rate and sometimes the screen flashes on and off to black for about a second. The video records smooth until I check the playback.
    What I have tried doing is; play a song in iTunes ver 9.0.2, turn on the Visualizer function, hit the Screen record button and record 2-3 minutes of video.
    Any idea on what I might try to correct the glitch? There doesn't seem to be a Preferences that I can find like in QT 7. Not sure how to change settings in QTX.
    Thanks for any help. I have a white MacBook, 2.2 GHz, 4GB RAM, 160 GB HD OSX 10.6.1.

    If  you require interaction you would have to use a full remote desktop solution as Skype doesn't have the functionality.  Teamviewer offers this as well as a built-in proprietary recording option but natively converting those files to standard formats usually resorts to using tons of hard drive space requiring additional compression and conversion time to get the size down.
    If you want to use Skype and record the desktop session including audio, the best way would be to use 3rd party screen capturing software.  This can you can record the whole screen or just parts of it.  There are also 3rd party add-ons that will capture the individual Skype streams but I find screen capturing software to be more universal and customizable.

    2 days ago my FF3.6.3 started becoming extremely slow/delayed on EVERYTHING/ALL ACTIONS (I have been using 3.6.3 for a few months with NO problems, until 2 days ago). Scrolling going in delayed/slow/jerky 'waves' motion (not smooth & fast), Right-click box very delayed/hangs in coming up, Text typing lagging/intermittent, activity extremely slow/delayed when pointing mouse over anything, changing from tab to tap extremely slow. Bascially EVERYTHING has become sooo slow, delayed, lagging etc. I have tried ALL possible checks (extensions, add-ons, plug-ins, download history, cache, cookies) & viewed nearly ALL the FF help sites. Is this a sudden/recent bug?? It doesnt only happen with Facebook, but EVERY window I open!!
    == This happened ==
    Every time Firefox opened
    == approx. 2 days ago

    I've personally not seen this behaviour since Firefox version 2. It however re-appeared for me in 3.6.6 and 3.6.7 (current) and it's bloody awful. Makes everything I do take 50% longer ..... great for efficiency in the modern world.
    This 3.6 branch is so riddle with flaws which seem never to be fixed. Each fix / update brings with it more problems ... worst of all I see version 4 is already in development but they cannot even get 3.6 right ??? WTF ????
    Mozilla must stop chasing version numbers as has become the trend in the software world. Fix an existing version to perfection then start working on a new branch of the product.

  • Magic trackpad jerky and not smooth lots of troubleshooting to no avail.

    Uggg... so I swear this started a few days ago when I was trying to do the photo's upload (didn't work) but it might just have been coincidence...
    My magic trackpad (bluetooth enabled using with my iMac) is crazy jerky and NOT smooth at any speed.... here is all the info... this is VERY strange.
    A regular plugged in mouse works fine.
    The trackpad IS jerky on other users.
    I have cleaned it and dried it multiple times
    Brand new batteries reading at 100%
    Have un paired and paired it again.
    Have paired the Trackpad with ANOTHER COMPUTER and it works FINE.
    I am at a loss.
    All software updates are up to date.  I have turned bluetooth off and on.
    Ugg... I literally can't think of anything else to do... I obviously am using this CONSTANTLY so any ideas would be much appreciated!
    Josh

    Hey yendoggy,
    Resetting your Mac's SMC and NVRAM may help stabilize input from your trackpad.

  • IPad 2 "Photos" app suddently became *not* smooth

    I have a very annoying problem: my iPad 2 shows images(scrolling from one to other) and videos (playing is jerky) from "Photos" built-in application NOT smooth and also the pitch to zoom function is jerky.
    Actually it seems that now I have a tablet slower than iPad 1 (that I sold yesterday).
    I tried to do a reset but nothing changes.
    Have you found a similar behaviour? Do you have any ideas to recover full functionality of my ipad 2?
    Thank you.

    @MKUltra89: fortunatamente non ho nessun tipo di problema di luminosità residua (lo si vede appena con una stanza completamente buia ma nemmeno in quel caso si nota molto, per cui è nella norma, meglio che nel primo che avevo). Comunque il problema dei filmati si "risolve" usando "goodreader" che comunque a bisogno di sincronizzarsi con itunes e non fa il pinch to zoom durante il filmato quindi è una parziale soluzione.
    To all users: a possible solution to show videos smoothly is to use a third party application "goodreader". Hovewer with this partial solution, the videos must be uploaded to ipad using itunes (not from camera connection kit) and the pinch to zoom function during playback doesn't work.
    Then: Apple, please solve that bug

  • Smooth jerky exposure changes in Premiere Elements 13

    Folks - can anyone tell me how to smooth jerky exposure changes caused by the automatic camera settings (temporal smoothing) over a video clip? (Can't seem to find the temporal setting in Premiere Elements 13).

    AndyD74
    Thanks for the follow up replies.
    Your Edit Menu/Project Settings/General readings suggest that you or the project have not set the correct project preset for the project. If the Canon is the major source of your Timeline content, then the project should not be 1080i (the project's default). It should be
    NTSC
    DSLR
    1080p
    DSLR [email protected]
    You are going to have to go to a new project to correct that situation. You cannot change the project preset in 13/13.1 once the project preset has been established.
    If the project (automatically) is not giving you the correct project preset, then you need to set it yourself (manually) before you import the source media.
    File Menu/New/Project and Change Settings
    In Change Settings, set for the project preset mentioned above. OK out of there.
    In the New Project dialog that appears, rename the project and make sure there is a check mark next to "Force Selected Project Setting on This Project". OK out of there.
    Then in the workspace, import your source media with Add Media/
    Another factor is the custom made intro that I created in Aurora3d Title Animation. What are its properties and how do they compare with those of the Canon's 1080p29.97. If you remove the Title Animation from the Timeline, do the problems disappear even with the DSLR project preset pointed to?
    Please review and consider.
    Thank you.

  • My Macbook Pro's navigation is not smooth and screen shakes after after i open folders

    I just bought my macbook pro 15" and i am experiencing some problems
    For example,
    i put safari or any application to full screen. So whenever i move my curser to the top of the screen to i can activate the bar (File - Edit - View - .. etc) It doesn't show and go down smoothly
    Whenever I navigate to the right and left with my three fingers, its never smooth ... It keeps breaking and become slow
    When I scroll to open my notification center its not smooth
    Sometimes the screen shakes when i open an application or do certain things
    I guess its a software problem. Please help me find a solution because its getting really frustrating, especially that i just bought it
    Thank you a lot

  • Playback of iPhoto movies not smooth

    For 5 years I have taken a lot of nice avi movies with my compact Nikon S210 camera.  They always play back very smoothly and are a pleasure to watch directly on my Mac, via a large attached monitor or even to my Apple TV.
    But this past week my daughter purchased a Panasonic Lumix DMC-Z25.  A super camera that records videos in either a "clip" mode or in mp4 format.  Great it would seem, except that when playing back these "movies" in iPhoto (latest version, running 10.8.3 on my MacBook Pro mid-2010) they are jerky-- not smooth.  Sometimes if I play the same video 5 times over, it gets better.  But then I play another one, go back to that one, and it is jerky again.  Same if played with QuickTime.  BUT never a problem with the avi movies taken on my other camera -- only this Lumix gives the jerky playbacks.  Why?
    I am ready to purchase a Lumix but WILL NOT if I am going to have videos like that!

    Old Toad and TD:  This is the reply from PANASONIC.  NOTE:  They thought I was having problems in iMovie.  I was talking about the latest version of iPhoto.  So I tried iMovie, and all the videos that were choppy in iPhoto played perfectly and smoothly in iMovie.  GREAT-- but I hardly ever use iMovie-- I find it an awkward program to use just to view a few nice short videos…  So fine that it works in iMovie, but I need videos to play in iPhoto.
    My questions after the reply below (to you and I already eMailed these to Panasonic) are:
    Have I possibly set the videos (AVCHD and mp4) to record in 50 fps mode which apparently won't play correctly in iPhoto?  Actually I was trying to record in 50 fps, but when I did INFO in iPhoto it always said 25 fps (but with my old Nikon Coolpix S210 it said 30 fps)
    How can I find the fps info when I import the videos into iMovie?
    They said 50 fps is not supported by iMovie-- but is it?  Perhaps it is supported by iMovie and not iPhoto??
    Panasonic mentions some software/drivers.  Is that something I perhaps need to do?  Attach the camera and install drivers?  How will that work with iPhoto?????
    What else???
    Here's that reply from Panasonic:
    Thank you for your e-mail.
    Regarding your enquiry, thank you for displaying the full problem. As I understand the videos playback perfectly in VLC media player, which means that the video itself is recorded perfectly, and the problem needs to be with the iMovie software that does not fully support the video format. We kindly recommend you contact Mac as this is an issue that they need to solve in order for you to playback properly the movie.
    I hope you can understand my point of view, because if the problem where to be with the DMC-TZ25, the video should have played back choppy using any media player, but given this situation, the problem is only with the iMovie.
    The following information is the only one we have regarding using the DMC-TZ25's software on a Mac computer:
    Please note that 50p footage available on some cameras is not supported by Imovie.
    The supplied software is not Mac compatible.
    Connect the camera to the Mac, selecting ‘PC’ on the cameras connection options. The camera will install using drivers built into the Mac and appear on the desktop.
    Iphoto should start up automatically when the camera is connected to the Mac, and give you the option to import your Photos and Motion JPEG Video. We recommend using OSX 10.4 onwards and Iphoto 08 onwards.
    To download your AVCHD video you will need to use the Imovie 09 package from Apple. Imovie will not automatically open. You will need to open Imovie and then click on the Import button on the left hand side of the software.
    Please note that Imovie 08 will detect the AVCHD videos on the camera but may crash when importing. There is advice on the Apple website regarding this: http://support.apple.com/kb/HT3481
    For further help using the Mac applications please refer to the Apple website, contact Mac by phone or visit your nearest Mac store.
    I trust that the above information will be of assistance to you. However, of course, if you should have any further queries, please do not hesitate to contact us.

  • Three external SWF's - not smooth. Fla included

    Hey geniuses.
    I have a main Flash movie that preloads three external SWF's just perfectly.  Everything is great...except the 1st movie is not smooth and really slow, the 2nd movie is a little better, and the third movie is the best.
    You can see what I mean here.
    http://www.tvnstudios.com/loadvis.html
    It's a rather simple Flash portfolio...I'm thinking it could be a stacking issue-but I've approached it from so many different ways instead of wasting my time shooting at thin air, I thought I'd give this forum a shot.
    How can I make these three movies play smoothly? 
    I've attached the main movies FLA just to assist.
    I'm SO grateful for any assistance!
    Best,
    -Tyler

    Hi Ned.
    the link is the page where the main fla exists.  That fla is the one i attached.  It loads three external swf's into a holder.  The three buttons at the top choose which swf is visible on the page.  The site just shows the three buttons, and when you click on button 1, 2, or 3, it will either load movie 1, 2, or 3.
    The frames per second are all consistent across the board.  I attached the .fla just incase there were problems that were visible in the actionscript.  It's not a lot of code, so that makes it easy to look at-but I just can't solve this one.
    And thank you again for responding!

  • Red Timeline Box is not smooth when sliding

    In the editing mode, I am selecting the red timeline to move
    the timeline throughout the time of the slide. The movement of the
    red line jumps around and is not smooth. When selecting the play
    button, The slide works but you see the timeline stops and then
    jumps to another time on the slide. It is not smooth. Is there a
    setting that I am missing? Has anyone else run into this issue?
    Thanks!

    I'm going to stick my beak in here and suggest that the
    timeline editor function (I'm assuming Cap 4) has a problem. What
    pbissaillon is trying to do is exactly what made me make my first
    post to this forum. Our issue came about when we tried to grab the
    playhead and drag it over audio to try and find the synch point for
    highlight boxes, and on the third or 4th occasion the screen would
    whiteout leaving only the highlight boxes on screen and Cap would
    become unresponsive. But before this happened we could see that the
    playhead would slow, judder or even stop if it came across a
    timestrip relating to a highlight box in the timeline. We'd then
    shutdown the project and if we tried to reload would be rewarded
    (randomly) with a message "QuizEdit.dll not present (previous
    response =8)". [We had no quiz slides in project so this was odd].
    The only way out was to close Cap wait till the buffers were
    flushed and then reload Cap for a retry - this naturally was a real
    pain.
    However, one other posting about audio difficulties has led
    Adobe to suggest a workaround consisting of re-registering the
    nsaudio dll. When we've got a moment I'm going to create a
    one-slide project to replicate the problem and try hand
    re-registering both QuizEdit and nsaudio and see where we go. In
    the meantime if Rick you would kindly rehighlight the bug link I
    will send a test project to Adobe.
    Sorry to be a bit wordy,
    Regards,
    Henry

  • Fading in is always fast and fade-out not smooth.

    This is real simple but I can't seem to find why my fade-in and fade-outs are not precise.
    Sub-question: Best way to control fades ?
    I have a title layer to which I add a fade-in and fade-out behaviour,.
    No matter how long the title duration my fade-in is always short and fade-out is smooth but really speeds up for the last second.
    The HUD says fade-in 120 frames but the fades is only 30.
    I'm applying the fade to the text layer.
    And yes both layers are the same length.
    Thanks

    Ok.
    Tried other variants but to no avail.
    Fondu simply means fade in / fade out
    No matter how long I make it the image fades in really quick in the first 20 images.
    I'm lookin for a smooth and slow fade.
    I have also a 178 images fade in but the beginning will fade in at the same speed as the 48 images.

  • Slideshow Fades Not Smooth

    Has anyone else noticed the slideshow fades being slow and clunky when set  anything greater than 0? Last night I tried running a slideshow with 40 images, all shot with a Canon 5d MarkIII and the fades were clunky and not smooth at all. I’m running the latest version LR on a 2014 (latest version) MBP with 16GB of RAM and SSD. Its a fast machine. I have not experienced this with other versions of LR. Any ideas on what may be going on?

    > Anybody else noticed the same?
    No, but I do see that flipping through images in Loupe is visually slower in 64 than in 32. Same was in the beta. Also it's very interesting that when I change images with the mouse wheel, the changes is instantaneous, when i use the keyboard - the image is slowly drawn from top to bottom.

  • 5K screen not smooth when scrolling

    When i scroll down on my 5K screen it is jumpy and not smooth (and such that i get very tired eyes and can actually see the jumping happening so it is apparently slow in adjusting)
    Any suggestions what to do?

    Amazing i've been told this is how the 5K screen looks and it is 'normal behaviour'. I get a headache working behind my 5K, i can see text and photo's jump and screetch into position, reading can only be done on a steady screen (and then too it is jumpy) and all simply visible with my own bare eyes. If this is normal it is a faulty product.
    I am now discussing with my supplier exchanging 5K for regular iMac so i can work again. Totally disappointed in the 5K, i have this for work not for art! If i had known this i would NEVER have bought a 5K. And i also believe the 5K should not be out there, technology is apparently not there yet for this massive retina screen. Have Ipad2 with retina screen and that is beautiful, works absolutely fantastic.

  • Launchpad transition not smooth

    After upgrade to the latest OS X, everything looks great till now. But just be aware that the launchpad transition between pages is sometimes not smooth.I checked with other friends, They have similar problems. I think it might be a bug in the new OS X. Anyone experience similar problem if you just wipe left and right in the launchpad?

    Hello,
    The same kind of problem happens for me. When swiping left or right inside launchpad, the scrolling is very slow and stops in the middle if I stop scrolling. I've been wondering if this is a wanted behavior or not.
    Also, when computations taking a lot of computing power happen at the same time as you bring up launchpad using the trackpad gestures, the animation is very slow (not as in mountain lion) and even stops sometimes in between the desktop and launchpad. Does that happen as well for someone ?
    Thanks
