PrE10 Menu Thumbnails Issue (MAC)

On all the blu-ray/AVCHD disks I've ever created (with full HD content), the menu thumbnails have black bars at the top and bottom.
However, my latest disk has a mixture of thumbnails with black bars, and some without (i.e. full picture thumbnail).
On the preview, all the thumbnails have bars.
I've not done anything different from previous projects - is this another random bug I've discovered?!?
Anybody else experienced this?

This happens when you project settings do not match your source video specs.
What model of camcorder is your video coming from and what format and resolution is it?
Which project settings did you select when you first started your project? You can see, but can not change, your project settings under the Edit menu.
Also make sure that menu templates you select have a little HD logo in the upper right corner. HD menus are 16:9 while standard DV menus are 4:3.

  • Menu selection issues in Flash CS4 for Mac

    I'm having a few menu selection issues in Flash. It seems some fields are de-selecting automatically (and quickly). For instance:
    1) When I double-click a layer to change it's name, it highlights then immediately de-selects. I can only rename by right-clicking and bringing up the Properties dialog.
    2) Fields highlight briefly then immediately de-select in the Properties menu when using the Tab button to advance or cycle thru fields. I have to click on each field individually to enter dimensions/characters.

    On occasion, I'm having an issue in Photoshop where the tools are off by 30 pixels or so. Examples:
    - Paint brush affects an area approximately 30px to the right and down from the brush head.
    - Selection tool selects an area approximately 30px to the right and down from the arrow head.
    This only happens on occasion and can be fixed by restarting Photoshop. I have not had any luck fixing the problems experienced within Flash.
    I'm experiencing this on two different machines that have CS4 installed. My only guess is a conflict with a Logitech driver OR a Wacom driver, but I have uninstalled the software and unplugged the Logitech mouse and Wacom tablet to no avail.
    Long time Flash/Photoshop user.... never had a problem like this.
    Anyone else have these issues or know a fix?

    Hi there,
    This is a known issue, however we have not been able to reproduce it internally. The way to fix it (assuming it's the same problem) is to change your workspace (such as resetting to a default shipping layout, and then modifying from there), as it seems as though something about the workspace is causing the problem. It could be very specific to where its layed out on your monitor(s), some exact pixel size of a panel and/or grouping - and so on. However, we haven't been able to reproduce this internally yet - only reproed and fixed similar problems - so I cannot say for sure, however changing the workspace has fixed it for the other users I've talked to seeing this one.
    If you are able to share the following about one or both of your computers and send it to jdh (at) adobe, greatly appreciated:
    * workspace XML file from the Configuration directory (before changing the workspace!)
    * description monitor layout (ie: primary on left, secondary on right... or "one" )
    * monitor resolution(s)
    * screenshot(s) of your layout exhibiting the problem
    Thanks!

  • Is there some secret to getting Pentax K-3 .dng files to display thumbnails when importing to an iPad (mini w/retina)? Files import fine, but no thumbnail. Mac OS has compatability with those files.

    Is there some secret to getting Pentax K-3 .dng files to display thumbnails when importing to an iPad (mini w/retina)? Files import fine, but no thumbnail. Mac OS had compatibility with those files added long ago. Am I missing something?

    I agree Terrance. However, I was able to copy other large batches of other files (my music for example) without any issues. The issue only showed up when copying iPhoto's library and/or the photos themselves. This was repeated 3 times; I copied all my other files to the drive then it unmounted on iPhoto. And, as I said, again when I started with a fresh reformat and just iPhoto. That does not seem like hardware to me if it is only happening with one set of files.
    I have managed to get the iPhoto library to work on my other external drive. It wanted a rebuild twice and a thumbnail rebuild once. I am now attempting to copy it over to the new HGST internal drive.
    Anyone have a suggestion for alternatives to iPhoto? I have aperture, maybe I will try that. But from what I understand, it just shares the same library as iPhoto.

  • Selecting multiple pages from menu (thumbnails)

    I installed the lasted Acrobat 9 Standard (9.4.5) update (6/19/2011) and  since then, I have been unable to select a group of pages within the  Pages menu (thumbnails) to move, delete and do some other operations.  I have always been able to do this.  Now, neither holding the  shift key nor holding the Ctrl key allows me to select multiple pages to  do anything as a group. I have to hold shift key, drag and drop and even though I do that, the results are not the same as it was before.
    Did something change with the update?  Or perhaps a particular setting was altered with the update?  Any thoughts?I
    Help needed!

    Hello Debbie,
    Thank you for taking the time to notify us of this unexpected behavior after updating to Acrobat 9.4.5. This has been identified as a bug by our Engineering team.  They are hard a work adding a fix to be included in the next update.  There is no time frame for this patch to be released.
    In the meantime if you are trying to manipulate contiguous pages you can drag the blue box around the pages and perform any action on the pages within the blue selection area. Of course this will not help to choose pages that are not nearby to each other.

  • How to show a blank or clear cell for the first entry in a numbers pop-up menu on a mac. I can do it on the iPad but not on the mac. Thank you.

    Can you please advise how to show a blank or clear cell as the first option in a pop -up menu on a Mac, I can see how on an IPad but but not on the Mac.
    Thank you.

    Hi grm,
    Yvan Koenig wrote an Applescript to create an popup menu with a true blank menu item. You can find it in Yvan's Box Account public area. Click on for_iWork'09, then for-numbers'09, then look for and download popup_with_nil.zip. Unzip the file, then open it with ScriptEditor.
    Yvan's scripts include instructions (in French and English) on how and where to save the script and how to use it. I haven't read this one recently, so I can't give you any further details on it.

  • Why can't I use the function of menu item 'issue delivery output'?

    why can't I use the function of menu item 'issue delivery output' in main screen of delivery note?
    And at the same time I can't use the button of printing in main screen of delivery note.
    the main screen of delivery note I mean above is in screen of maintaining shipping data instand of the first screen of VL02N.
    TKS in advance.

    Hi,
    Because delivery will be having header level output and item level output. So if u try to print through main screen then system will not know whether it is header related or item related. That is the reason it is only print output at header level or item level but not in main screen.
    I think u may have doubt like how billin will be issued output through Main screen. Because for billing both header and item level data are same..
    Regards

  • Menu Resolution Issues

    I've been working on this DVD Menu forever for our first feature film, DVD's have to go into produciton today so Ive been working on getting the master DVD out to our duplicator. Can someone help me with my menu resolution issues I am having?
    I've sent my menu from photoshop with interactive buttons, both the buttons and the text look great on my preview file, but after burning to dvd the menu looks low res and muddy. is there something I'm doing wrong?

    is there something I'm doing wrong?
    It would help if we knew the various settings. What are the project default transcode settings? That is what is used for menus. Motion menus? What is the pixel size and par of the menus.
    Button highlights by the DVD spec only allow 2 bit indexed color. Adding effects does not work.
    You might post a screenshot from photoshop with the layers twirled open.

  • How do i show my iTunes menu on a mac?

    how do I show my iTunes menu on a mac?

    Hi megdclark,
    Here is an article that will help you show your iTunes sidebar:
    iTunes 11: Frequently used features
    http://support.apple.com/kb/HT5649
    Show or hide the Status Bar and Sidebar
    In iTunes 11 you have the option to turn the Sidebar and the Status Bar on or off; they are off by default. To do this in the menus, go to:
    Show Sidebar - Choose View > Show Sidebar (this feature will display iTunes features on the left side of the application including Library, Store, Shared, Genius, and Playlists).
    Show Status Bar - Choose View > Show Status Bar (this feature will conveniently display the number of items and playback time for a category, for example, music or movies).
    Thanks for being a part of the Apple Support Communities!

  • Menu Thumbnails

    Hi All,
    I have a question about menu thumbnails. I am prepairing for my schools annual BBC Children In Need fundraising week, which I always produce a DVD of including highlights and detailed videos from each day/event.
    I am currently creating the motion menu, and am wondering if there is a way for me to set one single area or a clip preview thumbnail, whose content will change when a different button is highlighted. Does that make sense? Instead of having 4 or 5 there is just one, showing the relevant images.
    Any help would be appreciated.
    Regards,
    S.

    You are most welcome!
    Glad I only have up to four menu items!
    I understand very well. One of the first similar Projects that I did nearly drove me crazy. I grabbed Illustrator and "drew" it all out to save what was left of my sanity. I even did an article on using AI to do flowcharts - doing it in AI saves a lot of paper and erasers...
    Also, one must keep the 1GB limit on ALL Menus in the back of their mind. That was why I suggested doing a separate AVI of much shorter Duration for the Motion Backgrounds. These are easy to extract from one's Sequences in PrPro and just Export as say Menu_01_Button_01_BKGD. I also always Export as an elemental/elementary stream with one Video-only, and one Audio-only file. As I use DD 5.1 SS for most Projects, my Audio is AC3, so it's compressed and keeps the overhead against that 1GB limit to a minimum.
    Good luck,
    Hunt
    PS - Jeff Bellune covers many similar aspects of this in his book, Focal Easy Guide to AdobeDVD 2.0, Focal Press. Though it was written for Encore 2.0, 100% of the book still applies through CS4. I would not be without it.

  • PE 10 running on Mac OS 10.6.8 Thumbnail issue

    I have 4GB RAM and lots of hard drive room. Why can't I see a thumbnail view of my video clip in the organizer. All I see is a thumbnail view with an Hour-glass. I need to double click the hour-glass then click play to see the clip. The video clips were taken with a Sanyo Xacti HD. In the Premiere Elements Editor the best settings it: NTSC-AVCHD-AVCHD LITE 720p30.
    I use to do all my editing in iMovie and thumbnail clip generation was not an issue.
    I don't have this issue with my Windows 7 laptop, different operating system.
    Could this be a Mac/Adobe issue only?
    Thanks for any help and suggestions.

      Shooting MPEG4 - AVC/H.264 should not be a problem, notably because it’s supported by Apple’s Quick Time. You may have a missing codec on the Mac.

  • Menu Issue Mac OS 10.6.8

    I have a user in the Marketing department using a MacBook Pro running Mac OS 10.6.8.
    This morning without warning all of a sudden the menu behavior changed across the system. (IE: File, Edit, View, etc...)
    It is working like I remember the old Mac OS 9 computers where you click File and hold the button down then scroll to the selection you'd like and release the button to select it. I would like to turn this off and set it back so you can just click file then click the option you want without having to hold the mouse button down.
    I have tried a bluetooth mouse, an RF mouse, and a regular USB mouse. The behavior is the same for all of them. I have also tried logging into the computer with a different account and it seems to be a system wide setting and not a per user setting. I've messed around with the Universal Access panel, but none of the options are making a difference.
    I know there is a preference loading somewhere causing this behavior because when you first log on the menus behave normally for 2 or 3 seconds before switching to their current state.
    Randomly hot corners in Expose stopped working at the same time. Any thoughts?

    I figured it out!
    It's the wireless Logitech mouse. Through all my testing I had left the RF receiver plugged in. As soon as I unplugged the receiver for the Logitech it started working normally again.
    The Logitech mouse also works fine for a while if you unplug and replug. Perhaps this issue has something to do with it being plugged in as it comes out of sleep mode? Hmmm. Much testing to be done.

  • Menu Bar issues on Macbook Pro

    I came across this problem with my mac where after logging in I noticed that the menu bar, specifically the battery and wifi icon takes atleast 5-10 mins to appear and when I hover the cursor anywhere on the right side of the menu bar it shows the spinning rainbow. Also the volume button seems to be greyed out as well and usually I have to plug in ear phones and it will go away but only temporarily. This never happened to my mac until today and for some reason I think it has to do with the installation of Adobe CS6 Master Collection. (yes, it was torrented. no, I wont do it again.) I did some slight research and on some website it said that there could be some applications recently installed that could have caused this to happen. If anyone has a solution I would very much appreciate it.

    Having the same issue. Macbook Pro 2011, latest Mavericks update ....
    Apple menu disappears and reappears when Google Chrome is open/closed. Behaving the same with random programs. Do you have any ideas?? Software is up to date, THANKS!!!

  • Thumbnail issues in Pages 5.1

    Hi all, since upgrading to pages 5.1 I am having some issues that were quite basic in the previous version.  I am unable to select multiple thumbnails in order to copy/paste.  I am also unable to do a right click on thumbnails (no menus).  Help.

    Hopefully you can help with the problem I am having with Page 09.  I downloaded the Pages 5 (have not upgraded to 5.1) on all my computers- laptop, iMac and mac mini.  On my Laptop and Mac Mini Pages will not let save or make any changes- I have had it on both of the computers years (macmini) 9 months laptop working with no problems.  Says I am in a trial version.  Do you think removing Pages 5 will fix it or am I just screwed?  Pages 5 will not open older versions of Pages or the previous Appleworks/ Clariswork documents I have (yes, I have been using a mac for that long and deeply miss Clariswork that could open anything at the time).
    Thanks for any insight.  I would be a pain to have to move and do all the work from the iMac.

  • Weird thumbnails issue

    I thought this one had gone away, but...
    I noticed recently that some images had a strangely squashed appearance. Checking them further reveals that they are an image with the wrong thumbnail attached. Simple recreating it fixed the problem.
    It's the way it's happening that I find most intriguing though, as it's only affecting a very specific range of images. Oh, and I saw this exact same thing happening back in Aperture 1.5, so it looks like a deep rooted bug somewhere (and this is a newly created Library since then too).
    Most puzzling is this does not, and never has, affect any images I have taken with a digital camera, and imported directly off the media card, or any images I have imported from Email. It's only affecting images that have been scanned and rotated.
    The process involved is that I batch scan some images from negatives on my Epson 4490, so that these are saved to a folder. Then I import them into Aperture into a Project for each film roll, do any minor edits needed initially, such as rotate and crop.
    I can then go back into that Project later, although I'm not sure exactly when the defect occurs (whether I've reloaded Aperture, done a restart of the Mac, or updated the Vault), and notice that some images have a squashed appearance. On inspection, I find that a rotated thumbnail has been applied to a non-rotated image (the wrong image as well). I hit Recreate Thumbnail, and all is well again (actually using Rebuild Preview works as well).
    This has happened regardless of the file type, as I've used both JPG and TIFF for my scans over time. It's also regardless of scanning software used, until recently I've been using the EpsonScan software, but this recent lot I've been using VueScan.
    On the odd occasion I have had just a few images where I could not recover the correct thumbnail or preview, and had to reimport the images, as it seemed to have corrupted the master. Admittedly that was after I'd tried a defrag on the drive (and why I'm reluctant to recommend routine defragging). But again it only affected scanned images.

    This seems to be a general issue: when Aperture 3.x has trouble reading a Preview image it reverts to lo-res thumbnails as a fallback strategy. I have found that selecting the image causes the Preview to be re-generated as the version is rendered for display in the Viewer.
    It's not always obvious that you're viewing thumbnails in the Browser if you've got the images displayed at a small size - except for images with a portrait aspect ratio, where the thumb isn't rotated (since the missing Preview image was already rotated before it was generated.) Then the wierd distortion is very obvious.
    I think there are a number of different problems that can lead Aperture 3.x to lose track of its Previews. Forcing Previews to be re-generated can appear to cure the problem but it's just fixing the symptom; eventually the underlying problem may disconnect Aperture from its Preview images again and you'll see the distortion problem re-appear.

  • Arrow Key issue Mac Pro 15 inch

    I own Mac Pro 15 inch running with Lion OS, for some days it stop responding to Arrow keys. However arrow key are working upto certain extent with the combination of command and control keys.How I can get this issue fixed?

    If it says MacBook Pro under the screen, that's the name of the machine.  Mac Pros are desktop tower computers.  Arrow keys can sometimes malfunction if something gets in the keys, or one of the Apple menu -> System Preferences-> Universal Access settings gets turned on.
