Probably Project Properties Problem....Not Sure

Hi Everyone,
I'm new to Mac's, Final Cut and of course, Live Type. I'm putting a project together and I'm having a problem with Live Type and the only thing that I can think of is that my settings are not set correctly.
My project in FCE is set to be rendered in 1280x720 HD. My LiveType intro has a Picture background that I brought in. (let nme explain this....the still in the background is actually a Quicktime movie of a still rendered in FCE. So when I brought in my background it was through "Place BackGround Movie)
Ok, so the background is set in place. I did my text with a Spin & Fade effect. I saved it and brought it into FCE project. The Live Type movie played but it was very grainy. In the live type editor it was clear as a bell.
I than realized that maybe its my settings in Live Type. I used the default that was there. So I switched the Presets to DVCPROHD-720p30 figuring that this is why my LiveType clip did not come out clear. I rendered it and saved it and played in LiveType and the quality was superb. I placed this clip in my FCE project and again it plays very grainy picture. Can someone help me with this dilemma? I'm sure its somethig small that I'm missing.
Thank You
Tom

Hey Tom!!!
I know one thing for sure. People complain about this with text all the time. The project looks great in Livetype then when they bring it to FCE the text gets all blurry and loses quality. The same thing may apply to your movie.
One thing you could try is this. Export your FCE project into a Quicktime movie and see if that helps. Usually when you do this all the quality comes back.
Check out these links below. They apply to the text problem but they may help your case....

Ipod Problem, not sure how to phrase.

Yesterday, after I uploaded a song onto my Ipod, it was doing okay.. I play the song on my Ipod an hour later and it completely froze. I let the power on it go to zero then recharged it. Next day, I use it, seemed okay today... *holds down pause button to turn it off*, nothing happened. I then used the menu "sleep" button and that didn't work either. I restarted my Ipod and charged my Ipod... Later, I turned it on when it was fully charged, The song works, the sleep button works.. but what screen does the sleep button take me to? "Full Charged (battery under it). What should I do? Would deleting the song I uploaded onto my Ipod be the solution?
Not Sure Windows Vista

Ok let me rephrase. This is how it went.
1. Ipod (Video) Froze
What I did: Waited for power to die off then recharged
2. Ipod wouldn't sleep.
What I did: Restarted Ipod (Hold Select + Menu)
3. Ipod would sleep, but in sleep mode, this is up:
http://www.apple.com.pl/support/ipod101/anatomy/3/index_files/anatomy03-1.jpg
But instead of saying "Charging" it just said "Charged". This is currently what is with my ipod, the ipod thinks that it is hooked up to a power supply when it is not.
My problem is that I cannot make the "Charged" screen go away.

Tar problem - Not sure where to ask

This is my post in this forum & I'm not sure where to post this.
I have just installed Arch in my office system 2 days ago. I was extracting tomcat 5.0.28 official tar.gz in my arch system and it gave this error:
tar: A lone zero block at 82109
The tar version in my system is
tar (GNU tar) 1.15.1
I extracted the same archive in our server where the tar version is:
tar (GNU tar) 1.13.25
and it gave no error
The error/not error is same with either -x or -t flag.
Is it a bug in the new version of tar (I think so, arch should have nothing special about it).
What should I do can anybody suggest?

Yes the size does match, so I think the content may be OK.
Last time I found the directory size mismatch using du -s
but I guess its because the two directory was in two different fs
in server it was xfs, in my home it was ext3.
By the way is there any way to verfiy equivalency of two directories. I know
of md5sum but that works file by file.
Thanks.

Font problems, not sure how to deal with

Hi,
I recently opened an archived final cut pro project and suddenly all of the Livetype files couldn't be rendered because a font was missing.
This seems to be happening slowly as the project before that suddenly stopped using one of the fonts I had installed ( I ignored it figuring that it might possibly be a license that had gone out).
At any rate, I posted this in Livetype forum but hadn't received an answer yet. I just went in to font book and I have an exclamation point in a yellow triangle with a warning below that says:
'Multiple copies of this font are installed. You can use the Resolve Duplicates Command to automatically deactivate the copies not in use.'
Does this have anything to do with my problem?
No one seems to be able to answer so far and this is costing me money by the minute.
Thanks

Christopher --
If you have two (or more) of the same font enabled, yes, it could very well cause your problem.
Do you see the two fonts?
Open them up with the triangle, and look closely at the properties. (date,etc)
If you hover your cursor over each font, you will see more information).
Then click "Resolve duplicates" and try again.

Focus problems, not sure how to make focus work correctly

I have a number of dialog boxes and wizards, and just before I call show I request focus for the component I want to be displayed, but nothing happens. I think the show method it JDialog is setting the focus, and that this is the problem.
I want behavior to work as expected ie.focus to start at top left component and work its way down. Instead it seems to be giving fucos in the order the components were added, or soething like that. Does anyone know if this is indeed the case? I have many widgets which add components in the superclass, so this could cause me problems.
I do not want to create a focus manager, but if worse comes to worse, I will - this is a problem that is unacceptable to the client.
Any suggestions or comments?
btw I am using 1.3.1 and win2k for the OS.

Hi,
addWindowListener(new java.awt.event.WindowAdapter() {
public void windowActivated(java.awt.event.WindowEvent evt) {
formWindowActivated(evt);
protected void formWindowActivated(java.awt.event.WindowEvent evt) {
// Add your handling code here:
getFocusFor(yourFirstComp );
private void getFocusFor(final JComponent comp ){
SwingUtilities.invokeLater(new Runnable() {
          public void run() {
          comp.setRequestFocusEnabled( true );
          comp.requestFocus();
}

Problem not sure if it's a big onw

OK so I new to Apple and I have some great little programs and have installed them and not had a problem. Then all the sudden I having problems it! I got Connect360 and it was working great with my 360 and now it just won't work so I went in to my preference pane folder and deleted and then I went back in to my system preference and I noticed that my Universal Access icon is all messed up in fact in looks like a switch which I believed it was orginally a blue circle with some kind of emblem on it! How do I get the icon back to the way it was!

mjtorres,
Quit System Preferences if it's running and trash the following file:
/Users/~/Library/Caches/com.apple.preferencepanes.cache
Then launch System Preferences and hopefully the Universal Access icon will behave.

VERY bizarre problem, not sure of the forum, files becoming corrupt...

Alright, a day or two ago I started encountering something very strange in my iTunes library. About 6 years ago I made the jump from Windows to a Mac. Naturally, I brought my media library with me. I've had the same computer all these years, and a little over a year ago, migrated my iTunes library to a 1tb external drive. Since then, I went back to my CDs and re-encoded most of my music at a higher bitrate than what I kept it at on my Windows machine. Some of the music I didn't or couldn't re-encode. Same went with a few of my movies. Now, a few days ago, some of this low bit rate Windows encoded material has suddenly become corrupt for no reason that I can see. It appears normally in my library, but without any artwork. When I try to play it, it immediately plays the first song in my iTunes library. Trying to play the same file in other programs (Quicktime, VLC, Finder's preview, etc.) gives various error messages, all basically saying the file can't be read. More and more of the files I carried over from Windows come up with this problem every day. It's not a staggering majority of my library, but some of the stuff will be difficult to replace for various reasons. The only change I've made to my computer set up recently was adding an Apple TV onto my ethernet network.
Basically, my question is, is this any kind of a known issue, or is my disk going bad, and strangely the files that are going corrupt first are the ones I carried over from Windows? Should I be worried about my recently added files?
Any and all help is greatly appreciated.

The drive reports no errors of any kind. I also doubt this because, exactly like I said, it's only files carried over from Windows that are doing it.

Masking problem - not sure what code to use

hi,
I am designing something which has 4 buttons, linking to 4
seperate animations. the buttons are hairspray bottles and the
animation is a image which fades up, as if it were being sprayed.
The way I have designed it is for each bottle to have this code:
on (release) {
section1.play();
section2.gotoAndStop(1);
section3.gotoAndStop(1);
section4.gotoAndStop(1);
with each section having it's corresponding image/animation
fading through.
So when a user clicks on the first bottle, this is fine,
because the background is visible and then the animation sprays
over the top. But when the second bottle is clicked, rather than
spray over the top, the original background image is shown for a
second, then the animation comes over the top of this.
Any ideas how I could have each animation appearing over the
top of one another?

use the swapDepths() method of movieclips to change the
apparent depth of your movieclips.

Graphics or Thread problem (not sure)

Hello,
I have an app that displays screens with jpg's for backgrounds. If I run the app and view all the backgrounds, exit that class, and then change a background via the software and run the class that displays the screens it still displays the old background. I have to stop and restart the software before I see the new image.
Main class
parses xml via a runnable thread which calls the display class.
panel class
sees if the image exists, yes paints its, no loads default.
My question is: If I'm calling the display class from the thread, when I dispose of that class does the thread die, or is still there in memory along with all it's variables values.
Thanks
Jim

If I'm calling the display class from the thread, when I dispose of that class does the thread die...If by that class you mean the display class, then the life of the thread doesnt depend on that class alone. If thats its only function, to display that (display) class, then yes, it will die when the display class is disposed of. If it has other things to do, it will linger till their done.
How are you 'exiting' the class? setting it to null? that would get rid of the old imgs in memory.

Copied some code, not sure how to alter it

I copied this section of code from my header:
<div id="nav"><a href="#">home</a> <a href="#">contact us</a> <a href="#">employees</a> <a href="#">retirees</a> <a href="#">Workers' Compensation</a></div>
into another part of my website - in the primary division. But when I make a compound rule to affect only the section in the primary division, it still changes the section in the header. I want to change the buttons to say different things and float left, and it seemed easier to copy existing buttons I made last week. Should I start from scratch again? Thanks! paiger

Now I'm getting embarrassed. Since I'm logged into a secure site, I don't know how to post a link to the template. I can send the link, but I don't think others have access.
Just a few minutes ago I figured out one way to resolve my problem - not sure if it was efficient, but it worked. Thanks again for being so ready to help. You guys on this site are great. -paiger

One Flash CC project gets stuck when publishing in IOS. It will quickly publish as Android, and other projects will publish as IOS. Not sure what to change.

Thanks for the info.
I've recently stumbled on an article on how to view the packaged file (apk) published using AIR 3.2 for Android setting (Adobe Flash CS6). All you need to do is change the extension of the file from (.apk) to (.rar) or (.zip) and extract the file as you would with any other zip or rar file. I was able to confirm that the packaged file (apk) indeed contain all the videos for the presentation. I have more than 80 videos in the presentation. All videos included in the package are of the same video format and resolution (FLV 320x240) but of different duration. I intentionally included the all the videos inside the package so I can use the presentation anywhere and anytime without the need to connect to the internet. The packaged apk file size is (1.23GB) the file includes the project's swf and xml file, the component swf and videos.
When installed to android I noticed that the package remained as an apk file. Not really sure if android temporarily unpacks it when you run the app.
Testing phase:
I see no problem when I'm testing the project on my desktop computer. But when packaged and installed on my device the problem arise.
Problem:
I'm able to install and run the app on my device but wont play some of the videos included in the package.
Was this due to the limited RAM or processor of my android device?
I wanted to distribute the presentation to friends so i was trying to package it for easy access and installation on their device.
Alternative Solution:
I installed a third party app called SWF player by BIT LABS. Copied all the files to my device (the project's swf and component swf with the videos). The project worked like a charm the player (SWF player) and was able to run the presentation as if it was running of my desktop. All buttons and videos working properly. Although the alternative solution worked for me I still wanted to package the presentation for easy access and distribution to friends.
Please help...Thanks in advance.
