Pesky Artifacting in Prores 422 HQ, Need to get rid of it!

Hey everyone!
So I'm coming up against a hard deadline soon, and my color correctionist is experience two major problems, a solution to one of them would solve it, but we're stuck.
I've got an issue in color, but the secondary way around it was to take our edited FCP session, then export to Apple Prores 422 HQ 720x486 16x9 and then import that into color as one solid file.
However, the export gives a slight bit of artifacting. I shot on Super16mm and had the footage created as 10 bit uncompressed videos. We cut that 10 bit uncompressed and now, exporting to that prores at those settings we're getting slight artifacting during character and frame movement. I'm getting pretty desperate as the deadline draws nearer, can anyone have any help?
The Color issue is, when importing our FCP session in Color, color decides it wants to read video information like slates, etc. that aren't contained in the FCP file. As if it wants to show us the raw video where our cuts came frame, as oppsed to just the film itself, which is cut how it should be. We're pretty clueless as to why it's doing this.
We wanted to export to Prores and import that into Color to avoid all that nonsense because we're pretty clueless as to why Color decides to do this.
Any help would be MUCH appreciated! Thanks so much!
Will

Are you sure the artifacts are actually there. Try roundtripping and view the results on a Video monitor, not your mac monitor.
You might try doing a mediamanage staying with your original format without handles and see if that comes into color correctly.

Hi Pierre,
There's no way to merge them yet, so all you can do now is make 1 of them the master ID for iCloud. You have to continue to use the other for previous iTunes, Mac App Store updates. Have you read:

HT1420 need to get rid of old expired apple accounts before I can purchase new stuff

i need to get rid of old expired apple accounts from previous email addresses. how to do that?

Why would you keep creating new accounts?
Just change the e-mail address associated with the account.
Having more than one account will generally cause problems.
All purchases are always tied to the account from which they were purchased.

Need to get rid of lines top and bottom

The video material I'm cutting has a very annoying, eye-catching top and bottom edge. The topmost and lowest lines kind of wobble or jitter. I need to get rid of this.
Do I 'zoom in' / expand the picture, or is there a crop tool I haven't come across?
Any help much appreciated.

Right-click(Control+click) the clip with the settings and chose copy.
Select all of your clips that you want to apply the same settings to and right- click and chose paste attributes. A window will open and check the motion box and then click apply(Ok?)
Now all of the selected clips will have the motion setting that you copied. This is also a good way for copying video and audio filters and any other settings in the motion tab.

In response to below------Thank you Lynn-----Yes, there is a main panel--I will attach----and if you have any further suggestions please let me know--Thanks again
How are you running this program? Is there a top level vi which calls the ones you posted? The Display image on screen.vi will display two images in succession, but according to the note on the block diagram the second image is blank. It seems as though this would intentionally create a flicker.
The sequence structure is unnecessary. Dataflow will determine the order of execution. The only exception is the time delay in the third frame. Since it has no data dependency, a single frame sequence may be useful to assure that the delay occurs before the picture is updated. A simple state machine might be a more versatile architecture for what you may be trying to do.
It is not necessary to write the FR.PanelBounds property immediately after reading it, nor is it necessary to read it a second time in the second frame. Just wire from the first read.

Take a screen shot using the following keys - Apple/Shift/4. The cross hair shot will enable you to do the the exact size of shot you want to do.
Place the screen shot onto your desktop. In the "Basic reply window" click on the camera icon and follow the onscreen instructions. Click on "Use Advance Editor" then click the "Add Reply" button.
Again, post in the Mountain Lion forum area so that users using the same os as yourself will be able to help. Your issue is "os" related. You do not have a Macbook Pro technical issue.

Hi cathyw11,
probably you have 3 shortcuts on your desktop, if it is shortcuts they will have a small arrow on the firefox icon (see the [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Screenshot screenshot]). Right click on each shortcut you want to delete and select delete(don't be afraid, you delete only the shortcut, not the program, the program you can find it in windows start > all programs).
thank you

Apple ProRes 422 HQ needs rendering, but it shouldn't.

Sequence Settings (hereafter called the master sequence) are:
Apple ProRes 422 (HQ) 1920 X 1080 24p 48khz preset.
Frame Size: 1920 X 1080 (HDTV 1080i 16:9)
Pixel Aspect: Square
Editing Timebase: 23.98fps
Compressor: Apple ProRes 422 HQ
Audio: 48khz/16-bit
Footage is:
Apple ProRes 422 (HQ)
Frame Size: 1920 X 1080
Pixel Aspect: Square
Editing Timebase: 23.98fps
Compressor: Apple ProRes 422 HQ
Audio: 48khz/16-bit
Data Rate: 19.5 MB/sec
I need to put a timecode window burn on the entire movie for a web clip. So I exported a ProRes master as a QuickTime movie using the sequence settings. I then imported that clip and slipped it into a new sequence with identical settings (hereafter called TimeCode burn sequence) and was surprised to see the red render bar across the entire sequence.
As an experiment, I exported a brief (one minute) clip from the same master sequence. I then slipped that clip into my TimeCode burn sequence and it does not need rendering (it shouldn't).
I shouldn't have to render the Master clip first, only to have to re-render it once I but the window burn on. The movie is 30 min. long and the file size is 34GB. Is there a file size limit on ProRes HQ clips that don't need rendering? Why don't the shorter clips from the same sequence need rendering. I don't understand this. Very time consuming.
EDIT: I will probably end up using the Timecode Generator option in Compressor, so please don't suggest this, as I am aware of it. I want to figure out this mystery.

No, you're absolutely correct to use HQ. Just checking.
The Red footage is has 4:4:4 subsampling, so HQ's the way to go.
If you generally use Recompress All Frames on Export then you probably know that it's pointless to render your timeline before an Export, since your Render files won't be accessed. Unless you need to work in that same sequence with the timecode - but, you could just use your exported master for that.
I know the recompress all frames option is probably overkill for a sequence with only one effect, but I'm also thinking about drive space. With those huge Red files, your render files have to be eating up quite a lot of it.
So, I'm suggesting that you don't need to render this sequence before exporting. Just export the unrendered sequence with Recompress All Frames. That saves you the space the render files would be taking up.

Help! Need to get rid of MacKeeper and Spinning Wheel!

Hello Apple Community,
I have a problem that has been solved by one member of the community, however, I am still having the same problem. I thought I knew my mac pretty well however, I was one of those stupid people who installed MacKeeper in hopes of cleaning up my macbook pro and get the spinning "wheel of death" to STOP!
I have read the posts and the comments from previous threads. One in particular was posted by "uvistr" requesting help with the same problem I am having. The community member, "etresoft", provided a great solution. However, I tried to follow the directions to re-install mackeeper and then un-install, but I could not find any information in my logs with anything related to mackeeper. When I went to the mackeeper site, the only way I could re-load it was to buy it again! I feel like I am going in circles!
I thought I had deleted, dumped, trashed MacKeeper, but I still have the white screen on my desktop that says "unistall mackeeper". Only the GREEN light is available to use and of course I only just get a bigger screen! Nothing is on the screen and there are no options in the finder (that I have found) to delete this white screen.
I do know that I didn't un-install it correctly based on the information from "etresoft". I am at the point of getting rid of everything on my macbook and then re-install everything. I have everything backed up on an external hard drive.
Once I get MacKeeper off of my machine, will the spinning wheel stop? OR does anyone think there is another problem that is causing it to constantly spin? I have checked with Comcast and am running at their top speed. I have the latest upgrade of OSX Lion and have deleted all pictures and movies from my hard drive. Any thoughts?
Thanks for any help that can be provided.....

No, you do not need MacKeeper. Removing MacKeeper will help.

Voiceover: I need to get rid of it

I am in charge of a lab of 30 iMacs running the latest version of Tiger. Each machine has 5 local accounts. When they were set up, four of the accounts (the student use ones) were locked down from opening any System Preferences.
Recently, kids have begun using Command-F5 to start all the machines in the room talking and I got a chuckle out of an email I received from her indicating that it's driving her bats. She asked (pleaded with) me to do away with this voice stuff.
I found another post on these forums that suggested I try to accomplish this by moving the /System/Library/Speech folder to the localadmin desktop and see if that cures the problem.
It did. However, when you press Command-F5, the black box appears as it does with Voiceover, but Command-F5 no longer acts as a toggle. Pressing Command-F5 again does not toggle the feature off so the black box remains until the machine is restarted. Another teacher who uses that room is complaining that the box is a nuisance and wants it removed.
I've done a few things, namely, putting the Speech folder back where it was and just moving the three sub folders to the localadmin desktop. Voice is still inactive which is good but the black box remains. I've tried leaving all the folders in the Speech folder intact and just removing the files from them but the issue persists.
This is a very active lab and in order to disable this the usual way would be to manually uncheck the Voiceover options in Universal Access. To accomplish this I would have to sit at each machine, log in as local admin, give the account permission to open System Prefs, log out, log in as the local account, change the setting, log out, log in as admin again and remove the access to System Preferences. Rinse and repeat for the other accounts on the machine.
I'm trying to avoid having to do this and wondered if anyone else here might have found a way to get rid of this feature without all this extra legwork.
It won't be a problem for next year as I will update my image to disable Voiceover but for the remainder of this year I'll have to come up with some solution.
Thanks in advance for any help.

{...When changing Universal Access in a computer lab, open and
available to all students, one has to consider the consequences
of blocking the features which Universal Access affords those
students with disabilities and given the outcome this may be a
blanket answer to a situation of abuse by students without such
a need to use this feature set in the computers they use, another
issue may arise from discontinuance of this feature set...}
If there are no assigned computers set aside for students requiring
the features afforded them in Universal Access, and all computers
are set (perhaps a script could remotely remove or disable features
via an enhanced single-user or other workaround) to disallow U.A.
then someone would have to assure those needing this access will
have specific computers whose feature set remains intact.
This is just a thought. I don't use the Universal Access features,
but not unlike some owners and users of the OS X, I have had
an accidental encounter early on, given keyboard commands.
Also, is the black box you've heard about when the VoiceOver is
semi-disabled a text box? There is a toggle or checkbox in V.O.
to have a text box; whether or not this can be modified to get
rid of a black box appearing on the screen is an unknown.
The idea of re-mapping the keys so the command isn't possible
may be one idea worth considering; if it can be done remotely
or offsite, not requiring you to manually do each Mac.
In any event...
Good luck & happy computing!
