Pixelation Problem

Wondering if anyone can help me. Im having a very strange problem with FCP7. I edited a project which is around 2.5 hours long, exported it the normal way. However when exporting it took 3 times longer than it usually does. The finished file had major pixelation. I exported it again and the same problem, took ages to do and the pixelation makes it unusable. I do 3-4 of these simlar exports a week and I never have had this problem so its really strange. I use the current settings when exporting so I havent changed anything.
Can anyone please help me?

to check your sequence settings hit command 0, or go to drop down menus at top & select
Sequence - Settings.
For settings of clip itslef what is the codec when you selct command 9? the frame rate? is it interlaced or progressive (none)?
if these dont match - clip & sequence - that will slow things down.
or it could be the HDV codec, which is long GOP in nature.
do you export using: Export - QT - current settings?
you also said this was alot slower than usual, so you have done this before with an HDV edit around 2.5 hrs long?

Satellite 5100 - Question about dead pixels. Is it really dead pixel problem?

Hi,
I've got Satellite 5100-603. There have been some dead pixels on display. I don't know is it really dead pixel problem or not because the black area seems to be behind the screen. When i move left and right sides, the black area moves left and right sides too (as if the black area is behind the screen pixels)! And i can tell that all pixels are working OK when i look from the right and left sides of the display (because the pixels that seems to be dead, changes at different looking angles).
Are there really dead pixels or is it some other problem?
Is there anything that i can do about it?
For info, i am using my laptop for 2,5 years and there is no warranty of course...
Thanks for any help..

Hi
to answer your question I will try to make a simple description the layout of the TFT display.
I'll go from the front to the back.
In the front is a tough plexi-glass like layer to protect the screen from harm and the user from glass in case the TFT should break. It is also prepared in a way that will soften the reflections from behind (that does not go for the newer SuperBright screens).
Behind that is the 2 layers (at least 1 of glass, probably both) that hold the actual matrix of the pixels.
Behind theese 2 are a very complex set of layers that take care of the backlight. It consists of various numbers of films that should spread the light from the singel FL-tube evenly across the complete screen. Not a easy task if you ask me!
Sometimes, physical stress or dirt can make 'blotches' appear on the screen and they are in fact either dirt on the backmost layer or marks on the same. If there is dirt or marks on it, that will 'shadow' the light that comes out from it and show dark spots on the screen. They are quite different from defective pixels.
The defective pixels do not change with the angle of view for example.
I think you cannot do anything about this except changing screen. The construction is very complex and sensetive.

CS2 Pixel Problems when editing

Hi, I am an amatuer Photoshop user. I have recently had problems with editing pics either resizing or adjusting levels, saving then trying to post to a website. The pictures show up awfully pixeled. I downloaded the same pics without editing and they look fine. I have also had pics printed and I dont have the pixel problem. I assume something is wrong with my PS CS2 software. Is there a update to fix this problem or do I need to delete and reload my PS CS2 software program?

Further information on this problem: It seems to be linked to the condition of the data fields in the Revise HyperTrend window.
Within this window is a box containing data lines corresponding to the items to be graphed. The headings are: Expression Line Color Min/Max/Pos/Height.
There is room in this box for 19 lines of data. If more than 19 Items are entered, a scroll bar appears to the right.
It appears that attempting to adjust the widths of any of these fields (to view more of the data in a field, for example) triggers this problem. It may also be triggered if the width of the data displayed is covered by the scroll bar.
Can anyone figure out why this is happening and what to do about it?

Menu bar weird square square pixels problem

Hi I have this very weird problem and wonder if it is a software or hardware issue (i couldn't find anyone who have the same issue).
After using my iMac for a while this weird pixel problem on the menu bar appears.
The problem (it is small but you can see the magenta areas).
This is the enlargement of the problem.
When I change applications/click on the menu bar, it disappears but reappears after a while. This problem started just recently and I'm wondering if any of the Apple updates might have affected it.
Does anyone know what's happening? Do I need to bring it for repair?
Thanks.

They look like Atari Space Invaders "Quick shoot them down"
Sorry I couldn't help it!
Try switching to and from Translucent Menu Bar in the Desktop Preference, Disk Utility / Repair Permissions and Restarting your iMac.

Pixelation problems occurs in my videos when using adobe flash but using chromes pepper flash no problemes so its definitely adobe problems on my WIndows 8.1

pixelation problems occurs in my videos when using adobe flash but using chromes pepper flash no problemes so its definitely adobe problems on my WIndows 8.1

Problem is:
Flash Player for IE11 (which is the worst browser ever developed - BAR NONE) is a Microsoft product, when it comes right down to it.
Adobe writes the base code and yes, they do collaborate on updates for it, but the gang in Redmond alter the plug-in and add "proprietary" code before embedding it, and at that point it's "their baby".
There are two (2) registry keys - 1 for 32 bit IE and the other for 64 bit IE, as well as a KB patch that prevent all but the most experienced Windows users from ever touching the Flash Player plug-in for IE. So there's NO WAY you could have done a clean install of the ActiveX plug-in in Windows 8. Unless you're an uber-geek, you can only update it through Windows Update.
WIn 8 is an abomination and IE11 made it worse. IE has always been the "problem child" of browsers, failing to handle CSS, Javascript, some PHP and most design "tweaks" that good webmasters can use with other browsers, trouble free.
I have IE8 on XP, 9 on VIsta, 11 on 7, 10 on 8 and 11 on 8.1... but they're all for testing only. I'd have to be out of my mind to ever think of using IE as my primary browser. ActiveX controls have to be disabled formost stuff and that opens millions of security holes in IE.
You've got a good video card and a decent sound card. It's a shame to waste them on a pile of garbage like IE, just because it came with Windows.

Apple 30" inch Cinema Display pixelation problems

This is following on from a similar thread which is as yet unresolved the thread was called "30" with edge effects, green pixels?"
My setup is Mac Pro 3GHz Dual Intel (Brand New)
Graphics Geforce 7300 GT with a brand new 30" apple cinema display.
The problems is that pixelation occurs at random times and is only solved by changing the screen resolution down and then back up to its native setting. Is there a away to solve this problem. Someone on the thread mention above thought that it might be a syncing problem between the monitor and the card but the thread was never resolved and it is dated October. By the way I have check whether its plugged into the correct port and it is so any suggestions or bug fixes would be helpful thanks.

I've had my 30" display for 1 year running on an "old" G5 with an ATI Radeon 9600 Pro card (along with an "older" 20" Apple Cinema Display, the one with the plastic bezel). No problems with the 30".
A few weeks ago I got a Mac Pro with the ATI Radeon X1900 XT card. That's when I got the green pixelation problem. I thought it must be the card (since the monitor works just fine on lesser cards...), so I took the entire Mac Pro and X1900 to the Apple Store and hooked it up to one of their 30" monitors: no pixelation problems after over an hour of test running it with Aperture, Safari, etc. ****. I began to think that Apple has made some sort of change in the more recent 30" monitors to avoid the problem; either that, or my monitor is old and tired after only 1 year.
My 30" still runs fine when I put it back on the old 9600 card; it does ok (with only Minor intermittant pixelation lines) on the original (lesser?)card that came as base equipment on my Mac Pro; and it has the MOST pixelation problems with the BEST card (the X1900). Perhaps these 30" monitors can't handle all the data being sent by the more powerful cards? Is that possible?

Pixel problem? Lines on the screen

hello my iMac is 3 1/2 years old. about 6 months ago I started to get lines on the screen, last week one of the lines turned into an 1 1/2 inch white line. From what I'm reading it's a pixel problem. My question is should I have this problem repaired, or is it not worth doing. thank you.

Are the newer versions less apt to have this problem. and is there a history of this problem with iMacs thanks.
Tough questions, the problem is that iMacs are sort of All-In-Ones, using basically Laptop components with a Desktop Monitor & Hard Drive, if one thing goes you can't just replace say the Video Card like on a PowerMac or MacPro, because most everything is built into the Logic Board.
I strongly suggest that anyone getting an iMac or Laptop go for the extended AppleCare.
As for the new iMacs, they look really sweet, but I myself would not buy one with an nVidia Graphic Card, I'd have to order the more expensive ATI Graphic Card.

IPod stuck pixel problems

Bought a new video iPod at my local Apple store, got home and notcied it had several stuck pixels (white glowing dots- mostly noticable against a black background and in a darker environment). Took it back to the Apple store, the genius tried to give me a line about how the screen "takes a while to burn in". What?? once he realized I was not an idiot, he agreed to exchange it sans the restocking fee.... You guessed it, the replacement has the same problem I am sick and tired of this issue with LCD screens. It is unacceptable for retailers to sell defective screens and claim that they are "normal". There is no clear definitive standard for this pixel problem, and I have had it. Went through 3 PSPs as well and returned them all before finally giving up. I am taking this iPod back, and telling them it is unacceptable. They can open as many as it takes to get me a defect-free screen, or they can refund my money and I'll look elsewhere. It is unbelievable that a company can sell a product meant for viewing video on a 2.5 inch screen and can claim thta glowing white dots are "normal pixel anomalies". My 42 inch plasma doesn't have a single dead or stuck pixel, and I expect the same on all my electronics with an LCD or pixel based screen.

Have you tried the Pixel Fixer for iPhone?
I know if you do a Google Search for it there will be an App for the iPhone that will test and attempt to fix stuck pixels.
Otherwise you may wish to follow the basic article below for iPod Touch Hardware, and then make an appointment at local Apple retail for assistance or contact iPod Touch Support.

Hello everybody,
I just bought ipad air 32 gb two weeks ago. Everything was great until 1 hour ago.
Out of thin air my screen has bugged. i think it is a pixel problem. i have a horizontal line across the screen. not all of the screen but a little portion of it has a line.

Your iPad is still under warranty. Make an appointment at an Apple Store to have your device examined by a technician. Or contact Apple Support.

My iphone 3GS camera has a dark shadow looking dot on it. I lloked it up and i think maybe its a pixel problem. What can apple do to fix it?

Hmm, then it could be something somehow with the actual camera sensor behind the lens or maybe software issue. But i'd recommend ringing Apples support line and seeing if they can fix it, if it's still in warrantly they should do it free of charge.

Aperture 3 RAW conversion and hot pixel problem

I've used every version of Aperture since release, but I'm not very happy with the RAW conversion in Aperture3.
My images from earlier versions have no hot pixel problems but if I update to the new processing I can see them.
Single red or green pixel in the 100% crop image, that didn't show up before and also don't show up in LR.
The images I'm importing are NEF files from a Nikon D2x.
Is this a bug in the new RAW conversion for this camera?
It makes all of my images now unusable through Aperture if I reprocess them?

I haven't noticed the pixel issues that you mention, but I wasn't looking for that yet. Instead, my images from my Nikon D300 have been stressing A3 out as follows....
I have been having new issues with A3 now. I bought A3 when it was 1st available and had all of the same issues that plagued some users, I worked through it and until recently have loved A3.
While editing I noticed that A3 had a large number of my photos, about 30% of 34,000 images, labeled as being processed under an earlier version (A2). I decided to go ahead and re-reprocess the images, even though this step took a couple of weeks and countless crashes when I first purchased A3. Again, just over a week later, the images are now re-reprocessed within A3. And a new problem cropped up.
My Macbook is...
[img]http://jasonksepka.smugmug.com/photos/942470326_QzaME-M.png[/img]
and when I open A3 and begin looking at my images, the program is slow to respond and when it opens an image I get a very unprocessed version of lines for up to 5 seconds before the image finally loads. The image and all edits do load, but the workflow is significantly effected and I would like to know why this is happening now, and how to fix it. Below is an example of what happens with each image.

New macbook with pixel problem

I purchased a new macbook and this was my first. I switched from PC to Mac . I have to say I am a little disappointed. I got one burned pixel that doesn't work, warranty doesn't cover this (since it's only one) and there is no compensation for that. It's not a biggy, but it is annoying sometimes when you notice it. Especially that it is in the Dock bar.
Just wanted to share this with others. In case you are thinking of buying a Macbook be aware of this issue.
Cheers!

Welcome to Apple Discussions, klassikgirl
Having tried all the suggestions on the boards, I think you should take it back to the retailer and exchange it for one that works. The problem cannot get better with time, and a same day exchange for a non-functional Mac should be no problem.

Photoshop CS6 Nudging 10 pixel problem

Hi.
I have identified a major problem using CS6.
When nudging folders (filled with layers) around in Photoshop. Holding the shift key at the same time as pressing an arrow usaully nugdes content 10 pixels. However, pressing the arrow key in quick succession, for example 4 times, it will only nudge content 39 pixels or 41 pixels. Pressing the arrow key, say 10 times, quickly would result in only a 95 pixel movement.
Opening the same (80mb) file in CS5 and performing the same test, nudges a ... perfect 10 everytime..
I am a ux visual designer working on major household clients and my PSDs need to be pixel perfect before passing to development. Anything out of place would be highlighted and ultimately would make me look like a novice.
The files are not big. They are for the web. I use CS6 (v 13.0.4) and a 2.7 Ghz Intel Core i7 Macbook Retina with 16GB RAM and SSD. Currently the fastest Macbook you can buy!

Zen Microphoto Pixel Problems (Red Li

OK, so I have a BRAND NEW Zen Microphoto and ever since I first turned the thing on I have this RED LINE (about pixel wide) running vertically down the middle of my screen. It's like you can still see what's there behind it if you look closely.
I actually had gotten it go away for a little while, and it has come back and has been there since. So I don't believe there is damage to the actual OLED screen, but who knows I'm no professional here!!
Other than the annoying line the player seems to be working fine.. but like I said, its ANNOYING.
I have tried a few things to fix it.. I've formatted it and rebooted it from Recovery Mode.. I've TRIED to update the firmware, but I can't seem to get the Firware Update to connect to my Microphoto. Windows, Windows Media Player, and Creative MediaSource Organizer reads it being there.. yet NOT the Firmware Update. Actually I THINK I got WIndows to update the Firmware for me or something because accorinding to my Microphoto it already has that version on there?
If anyone has any suggestions, or heard of this happening PLEASE let me know. I'm not really sure what to do at this point. I looked all over the place to find one, and when I finally did I'm having problems with it!
Thanks!

I am having the exact same problem with my Zen Microphoto. There is a vertical red line in the display. It appears to be pixel in width extending the height of the screen, top to bottom. EXTREMELY annoying!
What is Creative's policy to fixing this?

Example of Aperture dead pixel problem

A lot of people have been complaining about green pixels in their converted output. I noticed a pixel in the RAW image as rendered within Aperture and went in for a closer look. It's more like a dead pixel. I've put up crops of an image mangnified at 300%:

Make sure you're looking at the "Original" size of the file (located at the bottom of the webpage)
This is a pretty glaring example of some major processing problems with CoreImage. I'm going to send a bug report to Apple.
G5 1.8G SP, 1.5M RAM Mac OS X (10.4.3)

I think this was one of the biggest concerns that I had with Aperture: the reliance on OSX code to decode the RAW files. If Apple were to re-write their RAW file processor or need to tweak it to fix this bug, it would likely need to come in the form of an update to the operating system. A couple of problems with that:
1) Sometimes, because of other problems with an update, you might not want to update your OS. Say, an update fixes something in Aperture, but breaks Mail. Which is more important?
2) OS updates are likely to be released more slowly than application updates. This may not be the case since Apple may release Aperture product updates even slower, but there are a whole slew of considerations that developers need to take into account when getting something merged into the much larger OSX train.
Maybe Apple can release small RAW updates that only affect the portion of the OS that deals with RAW. I seem to reall them doing that with other apps. It remains to be seen how well and how quickly they respond to these issues. I know a lot of people are probably waiting to see how responsive Apple is before entrusting their library to a proprietary application.
