Picture jumps in dissolve between stills

I'm cutting a 3min. video using all hi-rez still photos. I'm doing moves on every photo using only fcp (no filters). Randomly, I get a one frame vertical shift (looks like about a pixel) at the first frame of some of my dissolves. Everything is rendered and I can't figure out how to get rid of the shift. Any thoughts?

Everything was rendered. I was just noticing that the shift was on a dissolve going into a clip with a clip label, so out of curiosity I turned off clip labels and re-rendered the dissolve and the shift is gone. Don't know if it was a corrupt render file or something to do with the clip label, but it seems to be fixed.
Thanks,
Stacie

Anyway to "UN" Ken Burns stills globally or as default bringing in jpeg's? New to iMovie. I have 3 titles that build. First is logo, add prod't name second line, add date 3rd line. They shift when dissolving between them. Title function NG for this.

The people at the Apple store gave me a long, tedious workaround which is open Pages and bring in logo. Export it as a PDF. Open the PDF in Review and then "Save As" a jpg to the desktop and drag and drop into the imovie. Even with this process, the text will sometimes shift. When it works, it looks good, the logo comes up, then the second line fades in under it as part of the build and then the third line completes the graphic. It would something this easy and straight forward would be easy.

I did the work around for the titles/jpg's in this short video.
I'll try your fix on the next one. I have 22 short 3-5 minute videos to produce
and I'm on number 5. This should save me a bunch of time.
It would appear that you know more than the guy at the Apple Store.
Thank goodness for on-line forums.
I already tried fixing them individually as you suggested,
by going the crop/fit route. However, even then,
the second in the series had always shifted.
The first and the third images lined up, but not number 2..
So I brought in all the images, (1, 2 and 3).
and then the 2nd image again and put it in the third position
in the sequence on the time line. I deleted the "original" 2nd image.
So I had 1, 3, then 2. Then I dragged and dropped the correct number two
into position two and it worked. So what happens is that the
client logo appears, then that stays put and the next line dissolves in
and then the third dissolves in. They are three separate titles, but they
are aligned perfectly so that they build as I dissolve between them.
I think the problem with the edit copy route would be that while
I could edit/copy the logo, I couldn't position text through the
iMovie text function exactly as it only gives you middle or bottom third etc.
Each title with the product name is positioned individually depending on
length and number of lines. By going through Pages, I can position the logo
and the text exactly. Also, some logos are horizontal, while others
are square etc., so text positioning is crucial.Anyhow,
I'll try the global approach for the next one and see how that works.
Thanks very much for your insight and especially for your prompt reply.
I trust you're inside on this gorgeous July 4th because you're
making money on your computer. ;-)HarveyVOn 7/4/2011 3:57 PM, Apple Support Communities Updates wrote:

I still acn't get my picture box to flicker between two grey levels WHILE the DAQ takes a measurement.

I received a suggestion that I contain the two parts (grey level ficker and signal capture) in seperate while loops and use a local variable to pass a control to the measurement part from the flicker, with the control triggering the true statement of a case structure inside of the measurement while loop. In each of the cases (both vi's are listed below) the picture box stops swithing between the two grey levels while the measurement is being taken by the DAQ. In my application, I have a photometer taking continuous measurements and sending a proportional voltage signal to the DAQ input. If the picture box (which is what the photometer is measuring the br
ightness of) does not switch back and forth between the grey levels while the DAQ is sampling the incoming signal from the photometer, then the photometer is putting out no signal. No grey level switching, no signal. So the DAQ ends up measuring a flat line. Does anyone have any ideas as to how I can fix this, please try nd run my vi's before you make suggestions, just to see what is happening. Also, if you have a solution, give it to me in remedial form, if you can. I am new to labview.
Thanks for all your help.

I apologize, one of the vi's that I sent was incorrect. I did, more or less, the same as the example you gave me. Like the example you gave me, it stops switching between grey levels momentarily while the DAQ captures the signal. Is it possible to have the two run simultaneously? I will attch the vi that I intended to send, and would appreciate any further ideas you may have on how to fix the problem.

Creating cross-dissolve from still photo to video

Hello all ...
I'm try to create a simple cross-dissolve between a black-and-white photo (imported into FCE as an RGB Photoshop file) and a color (1440x1080) video clip. My problem is that FCE will only insert the dissolve on the right (video) side of the edit, the result being that the photo abruptly goes to black, followed by a gradual fading-in of the video. This is not the effect I want – I'm hoping to create a smoother transition between the two. I suspect that I haven't saved the still photo in the correct format, but I can't seem to find any help in my various FCE books.
So: How do I apply the transition to both sides of the edit? Is it even possible?
Thanks in advance for any and all advice.
Alec

Tom, I figured it out. The audio for the video clip was overlapping the edit (i.e. it extended to the left, so that the video clip's audio ran under the still pic). When I got rid of the (easily replaced) audio, the regular cross-dissolve worked.
Now I just need to figure out how to make the transition last longer than 13 frames!
Thanks for your prompt responses ... I really appreciate it.
Merry Christmas!

Hi,
First, close all the apps who are running in the same time.
You can desactivate few "notification" who drain the battery so.
You can put off the auto configure of the hour.
You can turn off bluetooth or wifi or both when no using.
I suggest you to disable the automatic sync with mail accounts and see if the problem goes away. Put in in manually.
when you go away from the mail app, it is still trying to finish to sync even in sleep/lock mode and the battery is dead within hours. Also, you can close the mail app.
In few weeks, an update will arrive with corrections.
Have a nice day.

Artefacts on 'push' effect between still image & moving image

I'm trying to use a horizontal 'push' effect (like an old fashioned slide show) to introduce scanned images into a timeline (DVCProHD 1080i) but when I look at the effect transition frame by frame there's a double image as though one half of the picture is out of sync with the other. The effect works fine if I use it between two moving shots, it just crops up when going between stills (JPEGs) and moving footage. Does anyone have a solution to this please?

And, you could simply keyframe the movement.

Picture jumps at menu loop point

You people that do this DVD thing every day are freakin' saints! You must have immeasurable patience...
NOW the client wants to add an audio loop to the 18 menus...
SEEMS like not that big of a deal, except that the picture jumps ( a little hiccup ) each time the reset happens...
anyone...?... Bueller...? Drew?
N

When in doubt..cheat
If you have the space (and make the audio loop AC3 just in case) extend the loop to a long enough length so people never notice. The only ones who hang around long enough on menus are people who make DVDs who look for those things. (I drive people nuts when they watch DVDs with me, I will sit and watch menus over and over)
So if the audio is 10 seconds, make it 30 seconds (edit accordingly in Soundtrack or whatever). If enough room, make it a minute. If someone is watching a still image for a minute and still does not make a selection, well then timeout the menu where you want them to go

How can I share pictures in an iMac between users

Hi,
I would like to know how can I share pictures in an iMac between different users.
Thank you

Where are the pictures located? Do the users have their own, separate accounts on the iMac?

How do I share pictures, videos, and songs between 2 iPhones on 1 iMac?

How do I share pictures, videos, and songs between 2 iPhones on 1 iMac? My wife and I shoot pictures and video at the same event and want to share them in 1 iPhoto event. We have music that we want to share and load onto our respective iPhones. And we DON'T want to muddle our contacts, apps, or other goodies.
I tried to set up a shared folder for the pictures, and set us a login for each of us. I must have missed a step or two because it didn't work.
Please spell it out. Please provide the steps and check marks, or a link to an Apple Support doc that makes it easy.
Thanks,

Open pictures in Camera RAW and still have paths/clipping paths?

Hello
A big problem in Bridge is that I can not open my pictures in Camera RAW and still have my paths left. I work in a place where we get loads of product photos from many different companies and they almost always have a clipping path in it. Many of the pictures do we have to fix like colour, exposure etc and this is here Bridge comes in as the best solution to batchfix them. But now I have to take the long way through Photoshop. Is there a solution for this?, an update from Adobe or a script or something.
Have a nice day!

You do know that you can deconfigure Camera Raw from opening TIFFs and JPEGs, right?
These are the settings I've chosen. Done this way, JPEGs and TIFFs just open right into Photoshop, and their clipping paths would be intact.

When watching my Apple TV (3rd gen) the picture jumps a few frame every few seconds, this happens when I rent a film or play back from my new Mac Pro, my Wifi is the Airport Express.

These may be different issues, but lets look at rentals first.
Poor motion can result from mismatched output. If your source is 24 or 30 fps you should set the output of the Apple TV to 60 Hz, for 25 fps content use 50 Hz.
Additionally motion software on the TV itself can cause the picture to jump, check your TV settings and turn off any motion settings in use,

Some of the apps previously downloaded have now become blank - white box instead of picture. Name of app still appears. Have tried hard reboot and sync to make sure everything is up to date. Anybody ever had this? How can I fix?

One more thing to try. Double click on the home button. Scroll in that bottom line of icons (swipe finger to left) to the app that are all white. Hold your finger on the app until the - sign appears. Tap it to close the app. Hopefully it will then show up correctly. (As they say about chicken soup curing a cold, "can't hurt")

I have an iMac5,1 with an intel processor. For the last month or so, whenever I play a video from an outside source - e.g. YouTube, the picture jumps and breaks-up. All of my software is up-to-date. Any thoughts on how to fix this problem?

You're welcome. As to checking speed go to http://speedtest.net/ and it will choose the closest server for you. BTW, whatever you do, don't click on the robot icon that says "Start Scan" or MacKeeper below that. Only use the speed test in the middle that has the button BEGIN TEST on it. It will run a download speed test first and then an upload speed test. The download test will give a much faster response.

Picture Jumps To Somewhere But Timecode Stays The Same When Applying Effect

Picture shifts to undesired point when I applied some effects like mask or cropping. Sometime it looks fine on FC but picture jumps to somewhere else when transfered to QuickTime. I am using FC 6.1 to edit 720/60 DVCPRO HD. Please throw me anything you think it might help. Thanks!

Post more about your files and system... i.e. was this material captured from tape or transfered from a P2 camera's card? also post the real versions you're running including OS, QT and FCP. There is no FCP 6.1... should be 6.0.2 and QT 7.4 with OS 10.4.11 or 10.5.2.
