Photoshop menu changes when video is applied.

This is encore CS6
I have been trying to figure this out for a while and can't seem to. I have a photoshop menu consisting of a white background with text and a couple images. I created a video to apply to the menu.
On its own, the menu is fine, but when I link it to the video, the menu gets thin black bars on the edges and the video seems to show through a sliver at the bottom. This totally boggles me because I noticed the video peaking through behind the menu, so I cropped the video in PP, re-exported it and it re-appears in Encore as no-cropped and showing thru at the bottom again. Anyways, the main issue probably has something to do with the Photoshop menu not being as big as the video file in dimension or having a different pixel aspect ratio. Though I played around with the PARs in Photoshop to no avail.
I'd appreciate the help.
Thanks,
Tim

Stan,
That information may very well help me. I don't believe I ever used a layer other than the one called "background". But thats good to know.
I created a solution to the black edges and sliver of video at the bottom. I created a menu from within Encore (the "Rose Menu HD" menu), clicked on the "edit menu in photoshop" and simply modified that rose menu in photoshop to look like it needed to (like my other menus). This way I was gauranteed that the basics of the menu would be right when it came to size and par.
The jittering issue is still there. But I did narrow it down to being a problem with the video background. I know this because I created two of the same menus on a test DVD, one with a video background (which ended up jittering) and one without a video background. The one without a video did not jitter at all.
Thanks.
Neil,
what do I do after saving a TIFF image from the video?
Open Photoshop & from the "File/New" dialogue create a DVD menu (there is a section for this called - from memory - "film & TV" although this may vary depending on version) in the style you want (NTSC Widescreen - not Square Pixel version) and this gets you a base with guides.
NOw get the paint bucket out & make the background black.
Open your TIFF file, and drag the image from the "layers" tab into the DVD menu template.
If it is too large, move it until you can see a corner & poress CTRL/T and turn the imported still into a smart object.
Hold down the SHIFT key & drag the top left corner down to the bottom right, and when you run out of space stop dragging & slide the image back up to the top left again.
Repeat until it fits onto your background & then select the usual pointer tool & select "apply transformation".
That is now your background sorted.
When you say "jitter", I suspect you mean flicker, as Jitter is caused by bad clocking & is a very different thing.
Check field orders - are you using HD to DVD? If so be very careful with field order issues. If the video is Progressive you should be okay but if it is compressed MPEG-2 Transport Streams or similar it will almost certainly be Upper Field First whereas the transcode for DVD will probably be Lower Field First.

  • Apple tv menu change when viewingnnetflix?

    The atv netflix menu seems to have changed since yesterday. Recently viewed items no longer show.

    There have been a few reports of Netflix disappearing from the ATV menu altogether, but this is the first one I've seen about the menu changing, although it's possible some of the menu data could be coming from Netflix, and they make changes from time to time.
    If you think the problem is with your ATV you could try the restore procedure:

  • CS5 "save as" format menu changed when creating new document

    Hi,
    When creating a new document in photoshop CS5 i cannot save as a jpeg or png or the other large list of file types i used to have in the save as format menu,
    below is what i used to be able to save as but can only do this when actually opening a jpeg file and not when creating a new document
    this is the options i have now
    i haven't been using photoshop that long and am no genius with pc's so i'm a little lost here, does anyone know why this has happened and if there is a solution to this, your help will be greatly appreciated. my spec are windows 7 64bit, core i7, nvidia 260gtx.

    It looks as if you are creating documents in a format incompatible with certain file types.
    For example, check in the New dialog that it is set for RGB Color – 8-bit.

  • Mavericks: white balance changes when video plays

    Hi There,
    I have an issue that whenever video is playing (YouTube, Vimeo, Final Cut, Premier Pro) my monitor's white balance will change to a cooler temperature after 2 or 3 seconds.
    But weirdly, only the white balance on the video changes - nothing else on screen changes - setup is:
    15" MBP Retina
    NVIDIA Descret graphics
    Dell U2713H
    I initially had to run a few terminal commands to force the MBP to recognice the Dell as a monitor (http://embdev.net/topic/284710#3567172) so don't know if this is part of the issue?
    But this doesn't happen with the monitor at home - same MBP and monitor model.
    I can't work out of this is the monitor, video card or the OS that's doing this - has anyone else seen this?
    CHeers
    Ben

    I'd checked several settings on the Dell but just found another one: "Smart Movie Enhance" - turning this off fixed the issue.
    >Menu >Display Settings >Smart Video Enhance> Off
    It seems professional monitors are becoming more like TVs - after turnning off all the picture enhancing tech on our new Sony TV, movies finally looked cinematic and not like 90s video!

  • DVD Menu changes when you hit menu on DVD player

    I understand how to use the connections tab, force a button or end up/menu, etc to do what I want it.
    what I'm having a problem with, is when a DVD is sitting on a menu, if you hit "menu" on the remote, it jumps to a random track (it doesn't do this in the simulator). is there a way or setting in connections that if you hit "menu" when it's just sitting on an idle menu, it won't jump to another track (really don't want it to do anything)

    In the inspector for the Menu you can disable user operations (be careful though to leave navigation and selection of buttons in )

  • Photoshop canvas changed when I updated Photoshop.

    I do alot of layering different exposures in photoshop and usually I just drag and drop the photo on top of the one Im working with and I can align them pretty easily.  For some reason now when I move the photo anywhere but right in the square it starts disappearing.  How do I make it so I can drag the photo around the whole page again?

    Not sure if I quite understand what is disappearing, but if you hold shift when you drag and drop, it will paste in place on the new canvas

    I am trying to use the brightness adjustment on a grayscale photoshop CS6 file.  The preview shows the adjustment working and changes the brightness, but when you click to apply the change, it does not apply the adjustment.  I have run into this problem before, although rarely, with some other files over the years and with earlier versions of CS.  I would like to know how to overcome this problem?

    Make sure you are viewing your image at 100%. At smaller views, pixels and layers and the way they interact are approximate interpolations and won't show you the actual pixel-for-pixel changes.

  • When I move a RAW file from IPhoto to my desktop or Photoshop it changes to a jpeg and reduces in size. How can I get the Raw file across?

    When I move a RAW file from IPhoto on my macbook pro to desktop or Photoshop it changes to a jpeg and reduces in size. How can I get the Raw file to move across?

    I create separate folders based on the year and then the actual date of when I take images. You can make those folders anywhere on any hard drive that is connected to your Mac whether internal or external. I also use the Photoshop Photo Downloader that is included with Photoshop/Bridge and it will create the date folder so all I do is create a Year folder.
    Open Bridge or click on the Bridge icon in PS and in the File menu item in Bridge select "Get photos from Camera". It can be a camera connected to your Mac or a memory card from a camera. A window will open and you then select the camera or memory card. Set the location they will be downloaded to, just the folder and you can Browse to a folder that you created, then in the "Create  Subfolders drop down select what date stamp you want to use or or custom name or not to create subfolders at all.
    I've never cared for iPhoto one bit. I tried it but found it way to restrictive. It likes to have full control over how you interact with your images.

  • I somehow changed a video in my imovie to zero fps, so it just plays black.  The video still exists on my desktop but even when I delete the files from imovie and reimport them the file is still in zero fps and play black.

    somehow changed a video in my imovie to zero fps, so it just plays black.  The video still exists on my desktop but even when I delete the files from imovie and reimport them the file is still in zero fps and play black.

    I'm not sure of your question.
    Are you asking how to use Photoshop?
    Or are you asking for the dimensions of video iMovie uses?
    It edits in 720P HD, which is 1280x720.
    You can make it a bit bigger so you can zoom in.
    Much bigger then this is a waste of time.

  • Changing Pixel Aspect in a Photoshop Menu used in Encore

    Using CS3 Suite/Windows. Took a frame from video to use as  menu. Photoshop changed the pixel aspect to 1.O. Can't get Encore to change it  back. The "Interpret Footage" selection is grayed out. Thanks in  advance.

    I took a frame out of some motion graphics in the video to use as background for my menu...added a layer for the button. Photoshop evidently changes the pixel aspect to square...you have to change it back in Photoshop...
    Back with CS2 versions, that did work perfectly and the PAR was retained from PrPro to PS to En. It seems that as of CS4 (do not recall hearing of it in CS3, but Stanley can address that), things changed and the PAR from the still Export became Square Pixels. Also, Adobe changed the rounding of the PAR's for rectangular pixels just a bit. What versions are you using?
    Good luck,

  • Rules applied to multiple cells trigger color changes when any of the cells

    "Rules applied to multiple cells trigger color changes when any of the cells meet the rule’s condition." That's what Help says, but when I follow the directions, it doesn't work. This is in Numbers 08.
    I have a table where the contents of one column are either "YES" or "NO", depending on formulas using variables from other cells. If YES, I want the fill of that cell and that of two adjacent cells to change from white to green. I select all three cells and use conditional format rules for "text contains:" YES, then choose my fill color. When I return to the table and introduce values for the variables that trigger the rule, only the cell in the YES/NO column changes to green; the other two remain white.
    While I am spreadsheet challenged, I usually can follow directions as plain as those in Help, but it's not working. I couldn't find anything in the discussions after an hour of searching. Is this a known problem or am I just stupid?

    For what it's worth, that's the way I read that line in the User Guide as well. What it actually appears to mean, though is 'Rules applied to multiple cells apply independently to each of the cells."
    Here's a workaround for your three adjacent columns. Long, but fairly simple steps.
    Add a second table to the sheet (Table 2).
    Resize the second table to one column wide and as many rows as you want to apply the conditional format to.
    Set the width of the column to the same width as the three columns you want to highlight, and the row height(s) to match the rows.
    Format to table to have NO Header or Footer row or column.
    Use the Wrap Inspector to uncheck "Object causes wrap"
    In the first top cell of Table 2, enter an = sign, then Click on Table 1 in the sidebar, Click on the first cell that will hold YES or NO.
    Fill the formula down the rest of Table 2.
    With all cells in Table 2 selected, use the Cell Format inspector to set the 'text contains yes' rule and the conditional fill colour for these cells.
    Test the conditional formating by introducing values into Table 1.
    Click on Table 1 in the sidebar, then use the Table inspector to set Cell Fill to 'none'.
    Click on Table 2 in the sidebar, then drag that table onto table 1 aligning it to cover the cells in which the conditional formating is to appear.
    When positioned (and still selected), go to the Arrange menu and Send Backward to move Table 2 behind the (transparent) cells in Table 1.
    With Table 2 still selected, click on the Cell Borders color well and set the Opacity of the borders to 0%.
    Click the Text inspector and set the Text colour Opacity for Table 2 to 0%.

  • Color Temperature changes when playing video via Dell 2713H with iMac

    Hi people,
    I'm having major issues with the above. This happens specifically when video is played, be it via youtube or through VLC or even XBMC.The color temperature of the video just shifts to a cooler blue and then after a while goes back to normal. This does not happen on the monitor of the iMac itself. Otherwise, viewing still photos or browsing the web works okay. It is really very irritating as you don't expect this to be happening.
    I've read that this could be an issue affecting macbooks with the ability to switch between integrated and dedicated video cards, but i can't seem to find any thing suggesting a fix for iMacs. Just so you guys know, it occurs on my macbook pro as well too.
    I'm running mountain lion 10.8.2 on the iMac and connecting the dell u2713h via an displayport to mini displayport cable supplied by Dell. iMac is a late 2009 model.
    If anyone could offer any insights, i'll really appreciate it.
    Thanks
    J

    I found this in another thread and it fixed the same problem for me. Apparently it's a Dell "feature" it detects video and changes the color settings for you... ? On the monitor just disable Display Settings>Smart Video Enhance.

  • Color space change when using photoshop elements plug in

    When I select photo and edit with photoshop elements, Aperture makes a copy of the file as expected, but I can see the image color/hue etc. has changed, why?  Is there some setting I am missing?  The color of the image shouldn't change, should it? Just doesn't make sense!

    Where do you see the color change of the copy?
    In the thumbnail or preview before it is send to the external edtor?
    When the image is opened in the external editor?
    Or after it is send back from the editor?
    I do not see any color changes when I use PS CS5; it may help to see a screenshot.

    Boilerplate-text:
    Are Photoshop and OS fully updated and have you performed the usual trouble-shooting routines (trashing prefs by pressing command-alt-shift/ctrl-alt-shift while starting Photoshop until the appropriate dialog appears after making sure all customized presets like Actions, Patterns, Brushes etc. have been saved and making a note of the Preferences you’ve changed, 3rd party plug-ins deactivation, system maintenance, cleaning caches, font validation, etc.)
