Photoshop images for chroma key background smaller than frame size??
Hi Guys can anyone help.
New to Final Cut Express. Putting together a project with Chroma Key and creating backgrounds in Photoshop. Creating PAL D1/DV 768x576 images. importing into final cut and image will not fit frame. I'm obviously doing something wrong. Any suggestions please? Thanks
Those numbers are for square pixel image sizes not for D1 pixels. Use those numbers for a flat image or one without transparency using square pixels.

Image size of iPhone 5S is smaller than screen size
When I click any picture with my iPhone 5s, the image size is always 20-30% smaller than screen size. Its like a picture clicked from iPhone 4, is this an issue or is it designed in that way?? Coz Images clicked in potrait mode are always cropped 20-30% and I am not liking it..
If auto adjust to fit with the Default Full Zoom extension isn't working then the pages may be using absolute values for elements and in such a case you would have to zoom the pages manually.
Can you post a link to a few pages where it isn't working properly? -
Hello, I have been asked to do a job editing some stuff shot on chroma key backgrounds and would be using there editing suite. I've never actually done this before but looking at a couple of tutorial videos on youtube it seems pretty straight forward. My understanding of the process so far is;
Make sure there aren't too many creases/drop shadows
Put the original footage in V2
Then effects - Video filters - key - chroma keyer
Eyedrop on the green background then move the sliders
Edgethin and soften the edges
Then the spill suppressor green/blue and do any cropping etc
Put the backgound in V1 and then you're done.
Obviously this is the basic process, but what I'm after with this message is any advice/tips, or common problems people come across when doing this. I will do a practice one before I do the job but don't have a green screen, how easy is it to do against a plain white wall?
Any advice would be great, thanks in advance!martinstartin wrote:

The original footage is meaningless. You've said you got the clips after the key was pulled so you're looking at a self-contained movie with an alpha channel.

Error Code - client cache is smaller than the size of the requested content
Even though we have increased the size of the ccmcache via Control Panel > Configuration Manager, we still get the Error Code 0x87D01202 (-2016407038) "the content
download cannot be performed because the total size of the client cache is smaller than the size of the requested content" The CCMEXEC Service and computer have both been restarted, after increasing the ccmcache size. Which local log
file under C:\Windows\CCM\Logs should we check for more information ?
Thanksso when you re deploying the client go into your settings and set the variable below:
smscachesize=10240
note:
SMSCACHESIZE
Specifies the size of the client cache folder in megabyte (MB) or as a percentage when used with the PERCENTDISKSPACE or PERCENTFREEDISKSPACE property. If this property is not set, the folder defaults to a maximum size of 5120 MB. The lowest value that you
can specify is 1 MB.
Note
If a new package that must be downloaded would cause the folder to exceed the maximum size, and if the folder cannot be purged to make sufficient space available, the package download fails, and the program or application will not run.
This setting is ignored when you upgrade an existing client and when the client downloads software updates.
Example: CCMSetup.exe SMSCACHESIZE=100
Note
If you reinstall a client, you cannot use the SMSCACHESIZE or SMSCACHEFLAGS installation properties to set the cache size to be smaller than it was previously. If you try to do this, your value is ignored and the cache size is automatically set to the last
size it was previously.
For example, if you install the client with the default cache size of 5120 MB, and then reinstall the client with a cache size of 100 MB, the cache folder size on the reinstalled client is set to 5120 MB.

ORA-01200: actual file size of 437759 is smaller than correct size of 43776
Hi,
I am getting the following unexpected errors while going to create CONTROL files after successful completion of offline/online oracle backup RESTORE (of PRD system) on Quality system. We are following Database specific system copy method to do the same.
All the required pre & post restore activities for the same were carried out. Even the same RESTORE activities are performed with different different online/offline backups of PRD system to do such system copy. But, the thing is stuck at control file creation step with the following same error which is seen again & again after every DB restore operation.....

Regards,
Bhavik G. ShroffHi,
Thanks for your response.
We already have tried the same whatever you have mentioned as suggestions in ur last post .
We already tried to extend all 294 data-files as mentioned in that oracle forum link.
Its not the recommended way to play with data-files in such a way as it can lead to other unnecessary errors.
We have seen the following errors after successful creation of control file by manually extending all those 294 files (it was around 10hrs job).
Specify log: {<RET>=suggested | filename | AUTO | CANCEL}

have you tried also restoring init<SID>.ora file from PRD to new system.
I think its not having relationship with control file generation. Both systems are having same init files with respective SIDs.
Did you find any other points in your further investigation ?
I am thinking to perform Fresh SAP System Installation with same SID (AEQ) and then will try to do Database Restore again with last offline backup of AEQ system.

Causes of ORA-01200: actual file size of x is smaller than correct size n ?
Hello everyone
We are running Oracle 11.2.0.3 64-bit E/E on Oracle Linux 6.2 with UEK R2 on X64.
Using Grid and ASM 11.2.0.3 and OMF names.
The database files are alll on SAN, the SAN vendor name not disclosed here to protect the innocent/guilty 8^)
I have a Test database MYDB (in NOARCHIVELOG mode) and after a normal server reboot, not a crash, the following error occured on Oracle database startup.
srvctl start database -d MYDB
PRCR-1079 : Failed to start resource ora.mydb.db
CRS-5017: The resource action "ora.mydb.db start" encountered the following error:
ORA-01122: database file 1 failed verification check
ORA-01110: data file 1: '+ASMDATA/mydb/datafile/system.256.787848913' <<<<<<<<<<---------------------------------------------------- Corrupt file on ASM disk, system tablespace this time
ORA-01200: actual file size of 94720 is smaller than correct size of 98560 blocks <<<<<<<<<<---------------------------------------------------- ERROR message
The ASM disks are all up and disk groups are mounted OK. The ASM protection level is EXTERNAL.
My understanding that the only proper recovery from the above error is to use RMAN Restore Database/File/Tablespace.etc (and then RMAN Recover, when in ArchiveLog mode).
I do have RMAN disk backups, so I don't need to "patch" the database to recover.
This is not my question at this point in time.
My Question is this : what are the most likely causes of such error?
Oracle Database bug? OS bug? Disk driver error? Server hardware failure (bus, memory, etc)? Or a SAN bug?
I expect that Oracle 11g R2 will always come up with the database "clean" if the server reboots or if server crashes (i.e. due to complete power failure) provided the actual storage is not physically damaged.
Our SAN vendor (no names!) says they are of the opinion that it's most likely Oracle database or Oracle Linux 6.x/UEK software bug, or probably Oracle ASM 11.2 bug.
We have opened a support call with Oracle.....
My personal experience dealing with similar database errors on more recent releases of Oracle (9i R2, 10g R2, 11g R2) and also MS-SQL 2005 and 2008 R2 suggests this kind of a problem is most likely related to errors/bugs in storage/drivers/firmware/BIOS and SAN and not likely to be a 'database' or O/S bug.
Perhaps you, good people on this forum, can share their experiences, as unbiased as you can?
Many thanksIve seen Ora-1200 twice I think over the years, both times there was disk problems which led to write issues which caused file problems, youve reported no such issues on your side though so if thats actually true, Im thinking bug.

Hi, i have edited a clip in hd with final cut, now I need to export it in 2K format. anybody knows how i can do it in FCP? in internet I found only few info about 2K format: no more than frame size. nothing about codec or similar. thanks for any help.
SoCal thanks for the attention,
sorry for having wrote the question directly in the subject, but first i wrote it by text edit then copied it, but in the wrong place too.....
coming to my question, timeline settings are:
as it is a commercial promo that must be projected in a multiplex cinema, the 2K format is needed.
I've heard about transcoding services, and they are very expensive.
so i'm looking if there is a way to do everything by fcp.
the project will be delivered as SD DVD for archive pourposes and as a single file for the projection or eventually transconding.
p.s.: sorry for my english, i'm from italy: had my last english lesson 35 years ago! -
How to properly stretch photoshop image for all browsers
Can somebody please help me determine the best way for my photoshop image to stretch properly for all browsers? I have made the height and width as 100% and it works on some browsers but not on all and looks sloppy.
My template is still in the works from photoshop but can somebody take a look at the following URL
www.wearvindicate.com/indextest2.html and let me know what coding if any needs to be changed?
Thanks
<table id="Table_01" width="100%" height="100%" border="0" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0">
<td width="100%" height="100%" align="center">
<table width="100%" height="100%" border="0" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0">Images are static. They don't resize to fill the browser viewport without special scripts or coding techniques which can create other problems.
The best approach is to use small image slices or tiles and repeat them horizontally, vertically or both with CSS.

Plug-in or 3rd party for Chroma keying with DV footage
We shoot Betacam SP, captured to DV with a DSR-45P DV/DVCAM deck.
From what I learn on the web, green is preferred if you edit on DV, due to the color sampling. (4:1:1 for PAL?).
However, it also depends on what background you have. Use green if you are in the forest, use blue if you are at the beach. Sort of.
The built-in chroma keying in FCP is OK, but not more than that. What do you recommend using?
I've found the dVMatte from www.dvgarage.com - is it good?Just for DV media, the AdvantEdge plug-in from Ultimatte has a preset. It has a resampling method for 4:1:1 (or 4:2:0 if PAL) media like DV.
Take a look:

Photoshop images dont have transparent backgrounds when published!!!!
Aloha,
this happens to me continuously- I take an image and remove the background in photoshop, using the magic eraser tool. I drop that image into my iweb page, the background is transparent. I publish it, and it has a black box around it. Here is my example-http://www.blueskystyling.com/Site_3/Welcome.html
Can anyone help me get rid of that durn black box?
thanks in advance for your help!
aloha, CIt's still a jpg. In the Save for Web select the PNG-8 option under Preset with PNG-8 128 dithered in the drop down menu.

I see a lot of great background images with complex designs that resize with different screen resolutions. I can create the designs, but I don't know how to create a complex image for large screen resolutions without making it a large file, or it loosing quality with it stretches to the larger size. Is there a code that resizes images when stretched, or do I just have to live with a slower load speed with complex background images?
The background doesn't resize, it shrinks:
http://johnpatrickgiven.com/jquery/background-resize/
Basically make a 1920x1080 or higher resolution file and use that script. There will always be a maximum but based on your response that is not your monitor. Photoshop and other tools do a pretty good job compressing jpeg files and most internet connections are fast enough to make it seamless. -
Multicam editing multiple chroma key background
hi,
I'm shooting and editing interviews with 3 cameras with a Chroma Key green screen.
Cam 1 - Wide angle shot, showing both the interviewer and the guest.
Cam 2 - The interviewer
Cam 3 - The guest
Now I need to do a multicam sync based on audio.
Then I have applied keyer effect to each and gets perfect chroma keying for each camera and had no problem editing using Angle Viewer.
Now my problem is ALL the backgrounds in Cam 1,2,3 are the same. It looks kind of weird.
How do I sync different background to each of the Camera with Chroma keyer and Multicam editing?
Is there a way to link a different background to each camera?martinstartin wrote:

Hi
I am on CS6.01 and have a greenscreen clip. I have used the 16 point garbage matte and the croma key filters to remome the green background.
There are still some dark green spots left because of my somewhat bad lightning setup, even after keyframing the garbage matte, so it moves according to the persons movements.
If I turn up the similarity higher, I start getting "holes" elsewhere, which I rather do not want.
I was thingking if it would be possible to export this clip including the keying as f.ex. UT/AVI with maximum renderquality, reeimport this clip and put another chroma key filter on the "last" spots, which are quite similar in colour, to make them go away, or could I even drag this sequense into another new sequense and add the new chroma key to this one?
Thanks for any input on this issue.
/UlfWell I just tried the "drag seq. into a new seq." and it worked like a charme.

Pixel iteration when footage smaller than sequence size?
Hi everyone,
I am having a problem with my plugins when the footage is smaller than the sequence.
For some reason Premiere (and only Premiere, AE is fine in this regard) iterates pixels not from the clip origin (let's say 200,100), but from sequence origin (0,0). Since it only iterates the amount of pixels that is proper clip size (correct), it results in part of the layer being totally cut off (in this example 200 pixels from the right, and 100 pixels from below).
For what it's worth, if the clip has proper aspect ratio, and scale to sequence size is clicked, or if the bigger clip is scaled down, the effect is applied properly.
I have tried using various offsets, but I could not get it to work. Obviously I'm missing something. I am using AE SDK.
Thanks for any help.
BartOK, I got this mostly figured out with one exception. The following code:
ciP.crop_topF = params[CROP_TOP]->u.fs_d.value * in_data->height / 100 + in_data->pre_effect_source_origin_y * ciP.downsample_y.den / ciP.downsample_y.num
works fine for every downsampling ratio except for the full resolution, when the value is moved by fixed amount, independent of source origin, crop position, etc. Curiously, similar formula for x works fine, although it is later scaled by pixel ratio.
What values of are used for full resolution? What might be the reason for such behavior? -
Java Applet Smaller than actual Size
Hi:
I have a very strange problem with commercial java applications and IE 6.X Web Browser. I'll appreciate if some one can help me. Following is description of the problem:
1. If I run a commercial java application, which certainly uses jre and I have no access to the code, some applets are smaller than their actual size and I cannot resize them, 'cause resize is disabled in the code. This causes a problem, 'cause I can't see the full applet.
2. The pop up IE 6.X browser windows has the same problem.
3. I noticed this after installing the latest version of jre 1.4.1, and then I uninstalled it, tried another version, but can't solve the problem.
I'll appreciate if some body can help me solve this problem.
Thanks
Nadeem AhmedHi,
some applets are smaller than their actual size and I
cannot resize them, 'cause resize is disabled in the
code.I don't understand : an applet is running in an HTML page and cannot be resized. The size of the applet is specified in the HTML "applet" tag. The only case in which the applet can be resized is if the size of applet is in % of page width (i.e. "width=100%")
