Pics are jumpy when putting movement to them.

Lately I have been having a problem with putting movement to pictures. When they move they jump up and down slightly while moving. I never used to have this problem and wonder what might be causing it. All the pics I've been using are 72 dpi, RGB color, and are either jpegs or photoshops. I've tried de-interlacing them and that doesn't help either. Any ideas?

For those who wander in here looking for a solution to their still image flickering woes ...
The flickering is an artifact of the interlaced nature of video. It is a result of very thin (often horizontal) elements that exist on one scanline as is common in text or titling. This can also be the case in scanned images with a great deal of detail in high contrast. (Note: It does no good to import images hugely larger than the pixel dimensions of the video sequence. All it does is force FCP to work harder at interpolation.)
As the alternate fields play, the flashing element is essentially being turned on/off. The basic strategy is to get the element to exist over two scanlines so it is refreshed every time the field plays or to reduce the amount of contrast so the difference between ON and OFF is not noticeable.
Things to try (In increasing order of image degradation)
- (in FCP) field order>none
- (in FCP or Photoshop) reduce whites by 10% - reduces overly bright areas
- (in FCP) flicker filter - minimum
- (in Photoshop) motion blur>vertical> .2 - .5 pixels - blurs vertically only
- (In FCP or Photoshop) Gaussian blur> .2 - .5 pixels -blurs both horizontally as well as vertically
- (in FCP or Photoshop) deinterlace - throws away half the image and is generally not appropriate on scanned images
Remember: Unless you are viewing your work in the appropriate external NTSC/PAL monitor, you are playing blind. The computer monitor only shows you a proxy image.
good luck.

IPhoto pics are black when I open them in iMovie HD

Hi there,
When we are in iMovie HD, we go to media, iPhoto, and pick a picture. But then, when we insert it into our movie, it turns black. Can anyone help right away. We would like to figure this out right,as we are in the middle of a project.
Thanks,
Kim

Hi momto11 - (I think you are actually using iMovie HD 6, for which there is a different iMovie forum.)
I wonder if you have done some editing of the pics subsequent to the original placing of them? iMovie 6 has a bug which causes this to happen if the iMovie trash has been emptied.
If that is your problem, then you must do one of these:
1. Do not empty the trash.
2. Drag the original version of the pic from the iMovie trash back onto the Clips Pane.
3. Re-import the original from iPhoto or where-ever.
Of course the cause of your particular problem may be quite different - only guessing!
Perhaps you could explain exactly the steps you are making.

Photoshop images are grainy when I view/edit them

I have used Photoshop CS3 for a year now with my 15-megapixel DSLR camera and used to be able to edit photos in PS just fine. But about 2 months ago I upgraded to CS4 and since then, all my images are super grainy when viewing and editing them in PS. I know it has nothing to do with the way I'm saving the images as they show grainy in photoshop before I even do anything to them. And when uploading them online, they're still super grainy even though they weren't before back when I was using CS3
Anyone have any idea why?

Well, that's the thing. The camera settings are the exact same as they were when I was running CS3 when everything was fine. The only variable that changed was installing CS4. After I did that, even though the camera settings DID NOT change, the images all of a sudden became grainy
I thought it may be a hardware issue so I upgraded the video card to one that greatly exceeds the requirements, but still no joy. I also did the Ctrl+Alt+Shift method to clear settings in case there was a rougue setting somewhere that was causing it. Still no luck

Getting a general error message in FCE when putting .mov file onto timeline

Putting a .mov film onto the timeline above a moving image so we see the mov file playing in a reduced size in the background of whats going on ( a window). Don't know why this is happening but any advice would be appreciated!
We are really stuck so any help would be so appreciated!
thanks.

Its converted to an mpeg4 file but i think it may be the fact it is running at 30fps as oppose to the rest of the project which is 25fps. When I try to put it on the timeline it gives me the general error and then the footage which was on below it on timeline no longer exists. Very strange.

My extensions preferences changes are gone when I change the theme after I reboot my pc

If I want to change the preferences of my extensions and the theme of the browser (wether it's a Persona or a custom theme) everything is all right. But if I reboot, my changes are gone. It doesn't happen if I don't change the theme.
To sum up:
I change my extensions options <--> '''DO '''change the theme --> reboot = my custom preferences '''RESET''' to last known before theme change.
I change my extensions options <--> '''DON'T''' change the theme --> reboot = my custom preferences '''REMAIN'''.
I already tried erasing the Prefs.js and personas files and nothing. I also erased the profile twice and didn't work.
Any ideas?
Thanks in advance!

I think I just resolved my issue. I exited Firefox, then deleted the places.sqlite file then restarted Firefox 4. My bookmarks immediately appeared.
Here's where I got the instructions.

Upgraded to FCP 5 and my transitions are jumpy when editing HDV

Hello, just upgraded to Tiger so I could load Final Cut Studio and I've exported my first movie and everywhere there is a transition (in this case, cross dissolves and dip-to-color) it's smooth on the timeline but jumps when I export. For instance, I open the video with a left-to-right pan and it dips to color to begin. the video pans to the right and then where the dip ends, it jumps/jerks back to the left and continues the pan. Every single place there is a dissolve or dip, the video does this. What am I doing wrong? I've never had this problem before using FCP 4.5. I'm also editing HDV for the first time. Is this an HDV or FCP 5 issue?
Thanks for any help.

By the way, I just selected Sequence, Render All and noticed Full was the only thing NOT checked. So I checked that as well and re-rendered and it said "Conforming HDV Video" and it STILL jumps after exporting it. What should I do now?

My battery doesn't last long I'm not sure if the program's or apps are closing when I've used them. How can I check??

My battery seems to drain quickly since latest update and I think program's are running in the background. How do I make sure that they are closed properly. Thanks.

What does seems to drain quickly mean?
Very few apps run in the background.
Are you accessing an Exchange email account on your iPhone?

All menu buttons are unreadable when I click on them - HELP!!!!!!

My photos are hidden how can I make them visible?

I have tried to look under pictures but there is no longer a iphoto file . my iphotos are there when I click on them but they then dissapear.All the gfx are visible though along with the resourses and i can not get them away.

Select one of the thumbnails in iPhoto and use the File ➙ Reveal in Finder ➙ Original menu option to be taken to the folder where the original file is located via the Finder. That way you can see where your library is located.
Another way to find the library is to launch iPhoto with the Option key held down and when you click on your library in the next window where it's located will be displayed just below the window.
Or you can download and use the shareware application Find Any File to search for "Library6.iPhoto" which is a file that is in every iPhoto library package. Once you find the iPhoto Library you can move it back to your Pictures folder.
Then make a temporary, backup copy (if you don't already have a backup copy) of the library and apply the two fixes below in order as needed:
Fix #1
Launch iPhoto with the Command+Option keys held down and rebuild the library.
Select the options identified in the screenshot.
Fix #2
Using iPhoto Library Manager to Rebuild Your iPhoto Library
Download iPhoto Library Manager and launch.
Click on the Add Library button, navigate to your Home/Pictures folder and select your iPhoto Library folder.
Now that the library is listed in the left hand pane of iPLM, click on your library and go to the File ➙ Rebuild Library menu option
In the next window name the new library and select the location you want it to be placed.
Click on the Create button.
Note: This creates a new library based on the LIbraryData.xml file in the library and will recover Events, Albums, keywords, titles and comments but not books, calendars or slideshows. The original library will be left untouched for further attempts at fixing the problem or in case the rebuilt library is not satisfactory.

We are having old home movies put on DVD's. How do we import them to MacBook Pro using Snow Leopard and iMovie 8.0.6. Can watch the video, but can't get it to import.

We are having old home movies put on DVD's. How do we import them to MacBook pro using Snow Leopard and iMovie 8.0.6? Can watch the movies on the laptop, but they will not import.

We took 3 video cassette 8mm that were recorded in the early 90's to a place that burned the videos onto 3 DVDs. When inserted to our Mac, the DVD player comes on to play the DVD. Opened Quicktime, but can find no way to import. Went to File>Open File>Sony_DVD_Recorder_Volume. Clicked on Sony_DVD-Recorder_Volume and it shows a file named VIDEO_TS. Clicked on that and 6 files showed VIDEO_TS.BUP, VTS_01-0.BUP, VTS_01_0.IFO, VTS-01_1.VOB, VTS_01_2.VOB, VTS_01_3.VOB. Where is DVDxDV?

iOS 7 devices need iTunes 11.1 or newer to sync. Depending upon your computer and the OS it is running, you may not be able to upgrade to iTunes 11.1 based on the requirements for iTunes 11.1. What computer and OS are you running your iTunes on? From the iTunes download pages I see the requiorements are:
Macintosh System Requirements
Mac computer with an Intel Core processor
OS X version 10.6.8 or later
400MB of available disk space
Broadband Internet connection to use the iTunes Store
Windows System Requirements
PC with a 1GHz Intel or AMD processor and 512MB of RAM
Windows XP Service Pack 2 or later, 32-bit editions of Windows Vista, Windows 7, or Windows 8
64-bit editions of Windows Vista, Windows 7, or Windows 8 require the iTunes 64-bit installer
400MB of available disk space

Runtime Images are being loaded only when i move Mouse Over them

Hi ,
I am displaying Images on to a Datagrid at Runtime .
The isssue is that Images are being loaded when i move mouse over the rows of DataGrid
Please tell me , how to resolve this issue ??
Thanks .

If you know the size of the images, have the renderer return measuredWidth
and measuredHeight that reflects the size of the image (or approximate
size). There should be past discussions on this topic.

Videos are often stretched when put into imovie. How can I change them back?

Videos are often stretched when put into imovie. Help!

Hi
If I understands it right.
You can not. iMovie'13 (v.10) are 16x9 ONLY.
You need a previous version of iMovie - OR - FinalCut Pro-X

Put movies in itunes on one computer why does it not show up when i access itunes from other computers or ipad2?

put movies in itunes on one computer why does it not show up when i access itunes from other computers or ipad2?

i just purchased a file that had videos in it. i put them in the itunes library on my pc where i first downloaded them. i was able to transfer them to my other pc, a laptop, through my home network. i am now trying to get them on my mac pro desktop and my ipad2. my mac pro can see the other computers on my home network but i cannot get it to connect to them. i know the operating systems are different but was hoping i could transfer pictures and files from pc to mac this way. haven't been able to get it to work yet. the videos i am trying to get my mac to see came in a folder with both mac and pc versions. i thought if i got the videos i purchased into itunes that i would then be able to get them to my mac pro and my ipad2. i am new to mac/apple and have always been pc-centric so trying to marry it all has been difficult. i speak pc pretty well but am just learning apple. am i trying to do things that are not possible? i sure could use a knowledgable friendly soul to walk me through my issues of having pc and mac on the same network. i have been able to get all computers and ipad to print on my network. thanks.

To re-install iPhoto
1. Put the iPhoto.app in the trash (Drag it from your Applications Folder to the trash)
2a: On 10.5: Go to HD/Library/Receipts and remove any pkg file there with iPhoto in the name.
2b: On 10.6: Those receipts may be found as follows: In the Finder use the Go menu and select Go To Folder. In the resulting window type
/var/db/receipts/
2c: on 10.7 they're at
/private/var/db/receipts
A Finder Window will open at that location and you can remove the iPhoto pkg files.
3. Re-install.
If you purchased an iLife Disk, then iPhoto is on it.
If iPhoto was installed on your Mac when you go it then it’s on the System Restore disks that came with your Mac. Insert the first one and opt to ‘Install Bundled Applications Only.
If you purchased it on the App Store or have a Recent Mac you can find it in your Purchases List.
