Picture in Picture (Mask) Problem

Hey guys,
I'm using a technique to mask out a watermark in a video I've been editing in iMovie. I created a black box over a transparent background in photoshop and exported it as a bunch of different image file formats. I drag it into iMovie 09 as a Picture in Picture, place it on top of my movie, delete the stupid Ken Burns effect, and it works like magic. The watermark disappears! However, my video darkens. I have no idea why it would be doing this. Is it a problem with how I'm exporting from photoshop? Any help would be much appreciated!

Huh?
> Is this a poblem with DW8?
Most likely not. Please list the exact steps you are taking,
and what it is
you want to do. The simple act of inserting content into any
container,
whether a 'layer' or a table, would not be expected to cause
that container
to change locations on the page.
And what is the 'overflow box'? Do you mean the visibility
column on the
Layers panel?
As a wild guess, I would imagine what is happening is that
you are not
inserting the image into the layer, you are REPLACING the
layer with the
image. Did you look at the code <shudder> to see if the
layer's markup was
still there?

Picture messaging problems for EnV 3

In the past few days, I have been having picture messaging problems. When a Non-Verizon person sends me a picture, it says connecting (as it should) but just continues to say connecting. I never receive the picture. It just says failed if I let it continue to connect. When I receive a picture message from a Verizon person, it also says connecting and I allow it to go until it stops. It never shows a loading bar like it used to but the "connecting" screen will eventually disappear and I can view the picture. It works but, its very slow and it doesn't show the loading bar like it used to.
I also have problems sending picture messages. Again, the connecting screen comes up when sending a picture but no loading bar. I usually let it go for 30 seconds and I'll end up cancelling it. BUT, a friend of mine did end up receiving the picture even though it never said message sent on my phone.
Any help with these problems? I haven't done anything different than I used to and I have had the phone for almost a year and a half now. Everything has been fine until now.

Yay!! It's so nice when it's a simple fix!
You can do the *228 reset every month or so just for maintenance and to keep your phone updated.

Mask problem in Premiere Pro CC 2014

Hello!
I have a strange problem with the mask tool in Premiere Pro CC 2014, and made this video to explain the problem.
Hope someone can help me.
Thanks a lot

Mask problem in Premiere Pro CC 2014 - YouTube

But the whole point is that I am not able to place the mask properly because of the strange way it behaving. The purpose of a mask is that it should affect the area it is located above and not somewhere else, and it should also fill the entire mask and not only a spot at the center of the mask area.
It has nothing to do with the order of things, or if I turn up feathering or extract the edge. It's all about the wired way it applys it self.
If I apply and drag the mask to the corner, it should affect the corner and not somewhere near the center of my footage. As it is right now I have to zoom out to 25% and drag the mask way out of frame to affect the corner of my footage.

Masking problems

Hi.
I have stumbled over a masking-problem, that I hope you can
help me solve. I have made a mask with a movie clip containing
several graphic objects on separate layers. Please see reference
image 1.
I tried to create a "splattering" effect, which I felt I
did... until I played the result.
It seemes that overlapping content in the mask will null out
the overlapping areas in the mask, and reveal content behind the
masked layer. Please see reference image 2.
What I wanted was to reveal the masked layer only, not the
content behind, so that it would look similar to reference image 1.
Please explain what I'm doing wrong and how I can fix this.
Thanks alot in advance! :D

too
Are you talking about the root-timeline? On the root I have
two layers. One with an image, and the other one which is a mask
layer to the first. The mask layer contains a movie clip. This
movie clip is my "splattering"-mask. The idea is that the image on
the first layer of the root-timeline will be gradually revealed by
the effect created in the movie clip lying on the mask layer.
The movie clip contains several layers. Each with a separate
single "splat" motion tweened to create a realistic look.... well,
at least good enough for me. :) - The problem mentioned appears
when two layers in the movie clip are overlapping. This causes the
mask to null out the overlapping areas when run.
Is this the same method you're describing? If so, what do you
suggest the problem is?
And what suggestion do you have for solving this in the code?
I assume you're talking about ActionScript? I'm open for anything
as long as the problem gets solved. :D
Thanks alot for your help so far.

Word to Acrobat Pro X picture conversion problems

Why do some of the pictures I convert from MSWord to Acrobat Pro X display on the new pdf doc as a black square? I have tried adjusting the contrast and brightness on the original as well as the text wrapping. On some images adjusting the contrast corrects the problem and on some it doesn't - even when they are on the same page.

It is possible that an update, patch, etc. that you have for MS Word is causing the problem. I vaguely remember a similar issue before I switched over to Word 2010. A fabulous change to 2010 is that you can "save as" a .pdf file now and no longer have to worry about converting or printing!

IPhone to image capture picture orientation problem.

I am having a problem with my iPhone 3G (2.2.1) and pictures. I've seen several other topics about this but none of them address or fix the problem for me (since most of them are from people using other applications like Picasa or iPhoto). Opening up every picture in an image editor and rotating it before syncing back to my iphone is NOT a solution. It's a bandaid.
Here is the problem.
Take a picture with iPhone. Connect to Mac. Image Capture app launches and I "Download All" to Pictures folder in Home folder. Images are deleted from the iPhone and moved into the Pictures folder. Opening an image from the Pictures folder opens them in the correct orientation in Preview.
iTunes is set to import all pictures from the Pictures folder. Sync iPhone. Images are uploaded to the photo library and all of them are rotated 90 degrees CCW. Turning the phone causes the images to rotate automatically to retain "correct orientation" which is still wrong.
Uploading an image from the phone (to Facebook for example) from the Photo Library results in a rotated image on the server.
None of the suggestions I've seen so far are a "solution". I don't want to open every image I take in iPhoto and rotate it before I sync it back to my Photo Library.
My question is how do I fix this, or prevent it from happening? Alternatively, is this a recognized bug that Apple intends to fix?

This is a useful method to minimize the problem, but it is still not a solution. It is unacceptable that I should have to resort to an extra step using a third party application to get my pictures onto my device, especially considering this problem didn't previously exist.
I am using all Apple tools (iPhone, iMac, image capture, iTunes) because I want to maintain the integrity of the process.
I know this problem is related to EXIF information in the image resulting in an unwanted rotation. IF I open an image in another program, I can clearly see that the image dimensions are listed at 1200x1600 (portrait). Either image capture or iTunes is modifying or removing these values before the image is optimized and added to the Photo Library on the phone, resulting in an orientation mismatch.
I guess I'm going to have to call Apple.

Flash image viewer, picture scale problem in CS3

Please someone help me. I have built a website 3 years ago, and I still have this problem. In CS3 I added a flash image viewer (slideshow.swf) as a slideshow to show gardens we have made. When you first visit the site and look at the pictures (wich are bigger than the viewer window because of picture quality issues) they don`t shrink to fit into the viewer window, you only end up seeing a fraction of them. But when they download and you go back to see them again a second later, they become the right size. It also swiches to the right size when the loop play gets back to the first pic again.
In the flash element properties I tried the different scale settings, and looked at other settings too but I couldn`t make it work.
I think making the viewer window as large as the pictures, would look odd. Maybe buying on other slideshow program to insert into dreamweaver would work.
If you would like to see the site its: tsugagardens.com , than look in the photo gallery and after the pics download go back with the back button and see the difference in the pics.
Thank you for your efforts,
Tibor

Picture Orientation problem with Konica Minolta Dynax 7D in iPhoto'08

Hello,
as far as I know the Dynax 7D has a bug concerning saving the picture orientation correctly in the EXIF tags. OK, that is definitly no Apple issue. But if I want to import pictures from the camera, in +the preview+ of the iPhoto import the portrait pictures are displayed in +correct orientation+. If I do the import, afterwards the portrait pictures are +in landscape mode again+, so I have to turn them manually. So the software is able to cope with portrait pictures, but chooses not to apply this...
This is the point I would like to have fixed or at least to have a automatic workaround. Any suggestions are welcome. Did anybody solved that problem already?
Will there be a fix for that behaviour in iPhoto'08?
Best wishes

Create a new test library and import a few of the problem files into it to see if they will display properly. If they do then it's a problem with the current library. If they don't then you'll need to see if it's system wide or limited to your account. To do that log into another account, create a test library and try there. If you don't have a second account it's a good thing to have because it's a great troubleshooting tool. Just create a non-admin test account.
If it works in the second account your primary account is causing it. It could be some other preference file other than iPhoto's that is the culprit. Here's how to determine if that's the case:
Trouble Shooting Preferences in Leopard
1 - Create a folder titled "Preferences A" on the Desktop.
2 - Open the working Preferences folder, HD/Users/your_name/Library/Preferences, and move the contents to the Preferences A folder on the Desktop.
3 - Make a duplicate copy of the Preferences A folder on the Desktop as a precautionary backup.
4 - With the working Preferences folder empty run the application again and determine if the problems is fixed.
5 - If the problem is fixed:
A - open the working Preferences folder (HD/Users/your_name/Library/Preferences).
B - Open the Preferences A folder on the Desktop, select all of the contents and drag them into the working Preferences folder.
C - When the Copy window pops up check the "Apply to All" check box and then click on the Don't Replace button as seen here.
6 - If the problem is NOT fixed, empty the working Preferencess folder and move the contents of the Preferences folder on the desktop back into it.
If the problem persists in both accounts a reinstall of iPhoto may be warranted. If it gets to that point you'll have to delete the current application and all files with "iPhoto" in the file name that reside in the HD/Library/Receipts folder before you install iPhoto from the disk it came on.

Keynote sound/picture synchronisation problems

I am using Keynote '08 for a presentation with 500 photos and a sound track which I created in GarageBand using various music tracks (total time 45min.) The problem is that when showing the presentation the sound track is no longer correctly synchronised with the picture slides, although this was the case when I last quit keynote. I know a lot of you have been having problems with keynote 08. Is this just another unsolved problem that needs to be fixed by apple? Any thoughts / ideas would be appreciated.

Clamshell digital picture project/problem the computer sleepy !!

Hello friends it is my first post to the board. Not sure if it the right place. I am in a mess with my old clamshell ibook ( firewire, DVD-Rom, 366mhz , macOs 9.2) which I took apart to make a digital picture display. The disassembly was easy as per help from Fixit guide. Now I have put together the unit to get it into the box for display, but when I turn on the computer the unit turns on and I see that desktop with hard drive and the curser which is accessible but the computer goes to sleep within 15-20 seconds. touching any key brings it back but only to go back to sleep mode again. Playing with the curser does not keep it awake!
The computer worked perfectly before I disassembled it. It seems that the sleep button is somehow gone into a loop. Or something to do with hinges/cables that I took apart during disassembly. i did try to be careful in keeping the parts together and took pictures to guide me. I would appreciate any thoughts or help that anyone can provide.
thank you.
karl

This just an addition to my last evening's post. I was able to start the computer with the original CD. The finder and the desktop works for a little longer approx.40-45 secs and the sleep mode takes over again. Subsequent wake up periods from sleep which occurs easily does not last any longer that few secs. Any ideas as to whether it is software or hardware based problem.
Thanks.

PE7: Split screen/picture in picture jerkiness problem?

I'm using Premiere Elements 7, creating a video that displays multiple videos at once. I tried:
Splitting the screen into four boxes of same size (top left, top right, bottom left, bottom right), each filled with its own video
Having one main video with 3 picture-in-picture windows overlaid on top of the main
I followed this instruction: http://www.heron-productions.com/4-splitscreen.html
In both cases, after I rendered work area, I see the video on Track 1 and sometimes Track 2 become very jerky, like skipping backwards and forwards by themselves. Exactly the same issue also when I export into final video. The only way I could solve this issue reliably is by decreasing the number of simultaneous videos/windows to two.
I have also tried this on another machine that has Premiere Pro CS4, resulting exactly the same issue. Very confusing since at least Premiere Pro should be able to do this just fine.
Is this a bug? Or am I doing something wrong? FWIW, all my sources are AVCHD files from a Canon HF100, and the project is a 1080 30i.

Thanks for the reply! Yeah, I figured I should've posted at the root forum, instead of in the Tips & Tricks. I'll probably try to repost this there. Anyway...
I don't think this is a hardware issue. It's not about trying to preview in realtime (although the bug shows up there too, after rendering work area). I can wait as long as I need if that's what it takes. But this problem is in the final render result. Yes, I do have an i7 setup for this: Core i7 920, 6GB DDR3 1600, ATI 4830 512MB, and disk load spread out among: 1x 1TB 32mb cache, 1x 750GB 32mb cache, 3x 500GB 16mb cache. They're not in RAID setup, but again, I can live with the current rendering time, which is more CPU-bottlenecked than disk-bottlenecked.
This bug also exists in Premiere Pro CS4 when I tried it on another machine with that app (I myself don't have CS4).
I rendered a short, lower resolution video to show how this bug looks like.
http://cid-48ae90fe02b84e66.skydrive.live.com/self.aspx/Videos/PremiereBug.wmv
Notice the main video in the background. It becomes jerky from time to time when there are more than one PiPs. Take a look around 0:20 where it becomes even worse after the 3rd PiP shows up.

Picture Gallery Problems

I just started using my TouchPad the other day and so far so good, until that is I downloaded the new update, which I believe is 3.0.4. Before the update, I made a folder up on my computer of 63 pictures that I wanted to Copy to my TouchPad. I had them in the order that I wanted, which was in numerical order, as named by my camera, oldest pic being first. I transferred them via the USB, which was a piece of cake. They were in the order I wanted. The next day, I downloaded the update, and now the pics are in the complete opposite order. Now the first pic is last and vice versa. I found some posts about other people having this same issue, but also with the older 3.0.2, which I had no problems with. Is there a fix for this? Can 3.0.2 be reinstalled? Very disappointing. This is an important part of owning a tablet to me and not being able to control this is a deal breaker. Thanks.

You'll have to use webOS Doctor 3.0.2 to roll back to the previous version. Then follow these instructions to make your TP not auto-update to 3.0.4: http://forums.hpwebos.com/t5/HP-TouchPad-Software-Hardware/After-3-0-4-update-touchstone-doesn-t-cha...
