Picture w/FCP Motion looks different in canvas

Hi- I'm trying to scale and pan using the FCP motion tab. It looks right in the viewer, but in the canvas, the scaling and panning is off. Both are on 100% and conform aspect ratio is turned off in the canvas is unchecked. Have done this effect many times, and never had this problem. Any ideas??

In the picture below there are 5 blue keyframes
The black keyframes on the bottom depict different locations that the image moves on the screen
The green keyframes in the middle show in order scale at 100% at 50% and at 150%
If your image stays at 100% scale the entire time then the green line should be a straight line with no keyframe marks whatsoever

  • Pictures edited in iPhoto look different in other applications

    I'm running iLife '08 on my new iMac with Leopard 10.5.2
    In iPhoto '08 (updated to 7.1.3) I do the following:
    1) Import a picture to the library and double click it to zoom in.
    2) This shows lots of imperfections, so I click on Edit and touch up the picture, then click done.
    3) The next time I double click the picture to zoom in, the imperfections are still there, but if I click on edit the changes I applied at step 2 become visible.
    4) If I export the photo and view in, say Preview, or choose send to iDVD, the resulting image has a lot more imperfections than the image shown in edit mode in iPhoto.
    Why do my photos look so much better when viewed in iPhoto edit mode than when viewed in iDVD or Preview?

    Hi,
    thanks for responding. I tried both of your suggestions, but no change unfortunately.
    If you look at the two photos uploaded here (captured via Grab), the first shows the picture post-editing (i.e. from iPhoto whilst not in edit mode, or from another app such as Preview or iDVD). The second shows the photo as it displays whilst in iPhoto's edit mode. Am I doing something wrong?

  • Exported pictures look different when uploaded to websites.

    I noticed that exported pictures from Lightroom  uploaded to Facebook or Shutterfly look different that when viewing the same exported pictures on my pc. Why is that?  The exported pictures were not adjusted, maybe only cropped and red eyes were removed. Yet the colors appear different when viewing the same pictures on Facebook or in Shutterfly.  If I upload exact the same picture directly from my picture folder, the colors look different. I wonder why this is happening.

    Export as sRGB will always help; however most browsers are not colour managed so the colour reproduction can vary anyway even when using sRGB. Only Safari is fully managed, Firefox works up to a point (it only uses icc v2 profiles, not v4 it will be OK with LR as LR presently exports to the v2 version of sRGB) or browsers don't honour profiles at all. Calibrating your monitor is also an important factor here and a hardwear device is required to do this correctly.
    How an image looks in non colour managed applications cannot be a basis for jusdging an image so only fully colour managed applications (such as LR or PS) should ever be used for processing.

  • Colors in FCP looks different than when playing in QT7

    The colors of the video's in FCP looks different than when playing back in QuickTime. I wonder if it can be a color management setting in FCP? I have the same problem when playing a clip in AE. I have two FCP machines, but only one of them is having this problem. Any ideas of what I can do to get the right colors back?

    Have you enabled Final Cut Studio Color Compatibility in the QT Player preferences?

  • Export back to FCP looks different

    I have a project in apple prores 422 in FCP. I sent it to color with no problems and did my color correct. Then I rendered it, and sent it back to Final cut pro. the image in FCP is considerably warmer and the blacks are clipped so there is no detail in black areas. It looks completely different in Color.
    Any ideas of what I'm doing wrong? All of this is being judged on the same monitor so that's not the issue.
    Thanks for your help,

    The issue here, and its surprising you are coming up empty with the search because it is discussed almost hourly, is a gamma difference in Quicktime.
    Up to Snow Leopard, MacOS has based their luminance transfer characteristic (gamma) coefficient of 1.8 to display graphic images on a Cinema Display or other panel. This makes sense to Apple, since they assume that almost 100 percent of their client base are using their computers for Photoshop, word processing and so on... and 1.8 is the prepress rendition that is standard industry-wide.
    Broadcast video, on the other hand, uses a Rec709 gamma characteristic that is in the range of 2.2, which is more than a few percent different. It isn't your Quicktime media that is actually darker and a different color, it is the way Quicktime is decoding and displaying it within the MacOS, which is why it can look different on the same screen. Unless you instruct FCP to operate under Rec709 2.2 gamma, it will default to the system OS Colorsync 1.8 coefficient.
    COLOR operates outside the Mac OS Colorsync supervisor -- it is entirely predicated on a system gamma of 2.2.

  • Pictures look different when imported

    For some reason when I import pictures into iphoto they look a little darker/warmer and not as crisp. Has anyone seen this before? Is there anyway to correct this issue?
    Thank you,

    Sounds like the pics are not color managed, or differently color managed from iPhoto. Where are these pics from?

  • Photos look different in Photoshop than when viewed with Picture Viewer

    I am running Windows XP, using Photoshop CS2, with a Samsung SyncMaster LCD monitor. I have recently noticed that my picures look different when viewing with Picture Viewer than when the same picture is opened in Photoshop. The photoshop version is much lighter while the pic viewer version is darker. I want to make sure of what I'm sending to my online printers. Do I have color setting wrong? My color setting in Photoshop are: sRGB IEC61966-2.1, U.S. Web Coated (SWOP) v2, Dot Gain 20%, and Dot Gain 20%. And preserved embedded profiles for RGB, CMYK, and Gray. Is the problem with calibrating my monitor, and if so, do you know of any free calibration software? I'm on a budget.
    I appreciate any help. Thanks.

    Well, it surely is a problem with your monitor settings, but, forgive me for saying this, mentioning "sending stuff to the printers" and then asking for free calibration software is a bit naive. If Adobe Gamma, the settings in PS itself and the color calibration in Windows don't cut it, then your system is seriously bent in terms of color and some other steps are required first.
    a) reset your monitor to its default color temperature and brightness
    b) get rid of any color tweaking your graphics card may introduce
    With a clean slate, create a color reference image (pure colors, grayscale gradient) with all color calibration turned off and see how it looks at the system level and in PS. Now you can begin to adjust settings everywhere and re-enable color profiles until the results match in sRGB space.
    The rest is pretty much unpredictable. Unless you gain access to the exact color profiles of the target device (the printer) and your monitor is properly hardware calibrated, there will always be minute variations. The only thing you can do is to solely rely on your visually aligned sRGB setup and have all color profile adjustments and color space conversions done at your printer. However, even that's assuming you do not wander too far off the default values and the sRGB is indeed "intact".

  • Titles from motion look lousy in FCP

    When I import some relatively simple not embedded titles made in motion 4, where they looked great, into FCP they look ragged and totally unacceptable. Figure I am doing something wrong since I am not very familiar with motion.

  • Making a picture look like a canvas print

    Hi
    I run an online canvas print company and sometimes for new images we have available I want to create a photoshopped example of how it would look as a canvas print, rather than getting it actually printed and photographing it. I can do this manually but it takes ages so I wondered if there is an easier way, perhaps an action or some kind of plugin that can do it a lot quicker?
    This page shows some examples of what I have done in photoshop http://www.fotoviva.co.uk/photos-on-canvas.asp
    The best one is the Gallery Wrapped Canvas at the bottom, which shows the image wrapping around the frame - it looks quite real. Ideally it would be useful to be able to create them with and without the wrap to show customers the options they can have.
    I tried to create a Photoshop action but the trouble is not all of the images we sell are the same size ratio ie. some are rectangular, some square and some panoramic in shape.
    So is there an easy way to create these in Photoshop? I guess it's like making a 2D image into a 3D box in effect.
    Thanks

    The major 3D packages are overkill for this (in expense, and time to setup/render).
    There is alot of software for this on the pc
    This one actually has a mac version
    http://www.boxshot3d.com/
    In your search I would look for one that lets you wrap 1 bitmap image against the front and 4 sides of an extruded rectangle, to save you the time of making separate images for side panels(and you likely  have slightly rounded edges on your canvas). I would try the boxshot3d as they appear to have a free trial.

  • Motion Travel Template problem when exporting to FCP - image looks jittery

    The still-frame pics I put in the Travel Template of Motion look distorted, "jittery", when the image scrolls across the screen during playback on the timeline sequence in Final Cut Pro. I exported the file from Motion as a Quicktime movie and imported the file into Final Cut. How do I reduce the "jitters" ?
    Thanks!

  • Roundtrip between FCP & Motion not working

    Hi, I have just upgraded to Final Cut Studio 2 with Motion 3. Wanted to try the roundtrip integration between FCP & Motion. When I send to motion, my clips are not recognized in motion, I have to physically reconnect the media in the media tab. I thought it is suppose to be automatic.
    Do anyone encounter the same problem as me?

    let's go back to the purpose:
    I have written a mobile app on which people can during a sports match capture the time of the important moments by pressing buttons.
    I then convert the time information into an XML or CSV file that can be read by the different NLE. Given that Sony Vegas allows to import
    markers independently from a sequence. Now I look at the same things for Premiere. This allows to edit the highlights very quickly vs watching
    the entire match coverage again.
    I try to replicate that on Premiere through the FCP XML, but now that the roundtrip works, the issue is that FCP XML in its structure wants a sequence.
    I could imagine to provide a dummy sequence that can be overlayed by the real content just to preserve the markers. Any ideas?

  • Peachpit "Motion5" p. 54, Step 11 drop-down issue - my screen looks different

    This problem requires the Peachpit "Motion5" book to reference because it is copyrighted and I can't take a picture of the page in question.
    The subject page shows a drop-down window with "sliders" for Red, Blue, and Green and one is supposed to enter in new values for each color. HOWEVER, since the book is old and based on an earlier version of Motion5, this is a PROBABLE cause as to why the dropdown I'm getting looks different from the book's version.
    So, either the dropdown has changed, OR, "I'm not getting it." (the latter is a real possibility although I've tried every option I can think of)
    NOTE: I've tried to find Errata information for the book and there are only a few items listed, none of which covers this issue.
    My screen shot:
    The lesson requires that one type in 0.63 for Red, 0.35 for Green, and 0.06 for Blue. Unfortunately, one cannot enter in a decimal point, ergo, this cannot be done.
    The screen shot is for Motion 5.1
    Any ideas?

    The book said to "... click the disclosure triangle ...." and I took that to mean the triangle to the right of the Remap colored square. This I tried numerous times and wound up with the color scheme shown in your right screen shot.
    This has been a while so I don't remember the exact place, but after clicking on the arrow on the left side of the Remap (or maybe it was the colored square like you showed) there was a better window that opened:
    This one allowed me to dial in exactly the paramerters that was asked for.
    WHEW!
    What an ordeal. But it's over and figured out now. A relief.
    Like you mentioned, I also was waiting for the publisher, or some other publisher, to come out with a Motion 5.1 book but couldn't wait any longer. If they continue to print and sell the old "5" version you'd think they'd at least have a good Eratta page somewhere that would provide the changes as well as fill in the holes in the procedures. Certainly, if this was used for class instruction they would know what questions the students struggled with. Oh well.
    Currently I'm up to page 65 and struggling with Step 13 to get the bright orange/brownish-yellow color they show. I'm only able to get a light version of the general background color. Tried the grey also, and ditto there. Just isn't working. I'm getting the colors I want in the color box but not on the screen. Sort of a partial. The HUD looks just like the picture in the book.
    In Step 12 it says to "click the Add Filter pop-up menu ..." but I can't find where they're talking about it. I've looked everywhere. Need to take a rest and work on this tomorrow.
    Thanks for the support.
    Edit: What happened? What do you mean? This didn't help me - Geeze, I wrote it! Need to get some rest.

  • Photos in Develop module look different when switching to library module

    Hello everyone this is my first post on adobe.  I ran into a problem today for the first time using lightroom 5.  I recently purchased lightroom 5 about 2 weeks ago and have been in love using it.  I have ran into 0 problems until today.  I uploaded some new photos and was going through them under the develop module editing the photos and what not.  When I am done editing I usually go to the library module and export them.
    Today I tried to do that exact thing and ran into this issue:  the colors in the photo are changing ever so slightly when I switch to the library module and are not exporting exactly as I edited them in the develop module. 
    I have tried changing the contrast/clarity to see if it would remain when switching and it does.  But for some reason the yellow on the flower in the picture becomes less vibrant when seen/exported from library module.  It is very frustrating because I spend alot of time editing the photo in a develop module and every transfers but the colors it seems.  It becomes more dull and less vibrant.
    It is not the photo itself.  I think it is something wrong with my lightroom?  I uninstalled and reinstalled and the same issue keeps happening.

    Just to clarify. When you compare the exported image to the original inside LR do they look the same when viewed together in the Library module, and how about when both are viewed in the Develop module? Are you using a wide gamut monitor and do you also use a hardware monitor calibrator? All of these things affect how images looks in LR and some are fixable, but others are not as Web Weaver posted.
    There is also another issue that can cause the Library module view and exported images to look different than they do in the Develop module:
    http://feedback.photoshop.com/photoshop_family/topics/afm8rbh6tnc31
    The solution is to view the image at 1:1 (100%) view size. You can also use more conservative Sharpening settings (i.e. lower) and more aggressive Luminance Noise Reduction settings (i.e. higher), which will significantly decrease the view difference.

  • Colors in Photoshop look different elsewhere

    When I open a picture in Photoshop CS3 or Camera RAW for editing and then save that picture, and then open the saved picture in any program other than Photoshop, the colors and tints and saturation are very different. I am pretty sure this has to do with my color profile in Photoshop, but I've checked many online sources and my color settings seem to match up more or less with what's recommended. My camera is set to sRGB and Photoshop is set to sRGB IEC61966-2.1, and this is happening both with JPEGs and RAWs, from two different Canon cameras.
    Pictures look more natural when viewed in Photoshop than in other programs (I think), even before any editing...how could this be?
    The weird things is, when I go to Edit > Assign Profile and then select "Lighthouse (D65 G2.2 A34.29)" from the drop-down menu, the image in Photoshop now looks exactly like it does when I open the same image in an image viewing program. What does this mean?
    Also, when viewing my photos in Bridge CS3, the colors look like they do in Photoshop until I zoom in 100% and the photo finishes loading the actual pixels, at which point the colors dramatically change.
    How can I edit pictures in Photoshop and Camera RAW when what I'm editing is not what's actually seen? This is very frustrating. Anybody have any ideas?

    Thank you both for your replies. My monitor has been properly calibrated, but not for a long time. I know that this will not help when it comes to color representation, but this is not my problem. My problem is that the images in Photoshop look different than elsewhere. I am wondering if there is either a way to make Photoshop display the photos as they will appear on websites and such, or a way to save the photos as they actually appear in Photoshop.
    I find it odd that I have not noticed this until recently. There is a very significant difference between the colors in the two environments. If the problem truly has rooted from an uncalibrated monitor, I will simply calibrate it (I would have already but I don't have a calibration device any more). But I don't think that's the whole problem here.

  • Captured NTSC video looks small in Canvas window

    Often, when we capture video into FCP (version 4.5), the clip comes in at 50% of it's original size (that's how it looks in the canvas window and on the NTSC monitor). We have looked at a number of sequence settings and have not been able to rectify the problem.
    We are capable of scaling each or the clips up to 160% of the original size and the clips will then fill the frame as expected. There does not seem to be any degradation in the video when doing this, but obviously we are doing something wrong and our solution is a long way from elegant.
    In certain projects or sequences the video will be captured into FCP and be the normal size, but we have not been able to figure out what is the difference between these projects and sequences.
    Thanks very much for your input.

    Use the DV/NTSC easy preset to capture your DV material. If the material is recorded as anamorphic, use that preset.
    Capture the video using the same DV/NTSC easy preset that you used to create the project.
    Drop the clip into a sequence created using the same DV/NTSC easy preset..
    The clip will fill the NTSC external monitor screen.
    Set your Canvas and Viewer windows to Fill to fit.
