Problem rendering specific transitions

I'm encountering an odd problem specifically with the "crosszoom" transition. In Unlimited RT mode, the transition plays back okay, except that it is in draft quality. In Safe RT mode, I'm required to render. After rendering, when I hit play, FCP does not show the transition at all. It just does a direct cut as if I had not put a transition on the clip at all! This does not happen with most other transitions. It did happen with Noise Industries - Explode Away transition, but most others are perfectly fine (both Apple and 3rd Party). Apple Support's response was to delete preferences. I did that to no avail. They then recommended re-installing FCP. I'd rather not since I have quite a few applications and data to copy onto my mac drive. This is problematic as it appears that there's no way for me to use certain transitions. Oddly enough they display in Unlimited RT mode but in draft quality.
Any help is appreciated.

I'm using NTSC DV. The files were captured using FCP. I've tried a new project/sequence but got the same result. This only seems to happen with the Cross Zoom (FCP) transition and one other transition from Noise Industries (Explode Away). Both transitions I have use for!
fyi, I'm using FCP 6.0.1

  • Looking for a specific transition

    I'm looking for a specific transition - I have an image layer of a credit card, that starts out only showing the thin edge, then flips out to reveal the flat surface of the card. Closest I could find in FC was 3D Spinback.
    Can you recommend a good source of FC transitions, free or paid? One that shows previews would be especially good.

    I thought you might have this issue, and I had meant to point out a problem with your workflow, but it slipped my mind.
    The file you're working with is a .psd, and it contains 1 layer, rather than being a flattened image. So what's happening is that when you drop the file into the Sequence it becomes a Nested Item.
    That's why when you double click it, it opens in its own sequence, constrained to its own dimensions. When you add the basic 3d filter, you are then animating it in that sequence, rather than the main sequence.
    Without going back to Photoshop, the easiest fix is to
    1. Cut the effect from the clip.
    2. Go back to the main sequence and Option Double Click the clip. You are now accessing the master clip, rather than its subclip which is the single .psd layer.
    3. Paste the filter. I believe your keyframed motion will be retained, and the clip will now rotate in the main sequence without cropping.
    4. Remember from here on that to access the filter again you have to Option Double Click the layer.

  • My mac Mini has problem rendering images and video

    THE PROBLEM:
    My mac mini has problem rendering JPEG image. There are strips on the images. Other images such as GIF, PNG, TIFF, and BMP are displayed nicely.
    The images shown in the links below illustrate the problem:
    http://www.flickr.com/photos/terencewong/71481156/
    http://www.flickr.com/photos/terencewong/73360989/
    (Please note that this image is grabbed from my faulty Mac Mini and saved into TIFF. For uploading purpose, I converted it into JPEG on ANOTHER computer.)
    For movies, AVI can be playback without problem. But when it is converted to MPEG, it looks like an untunned TV channel.
    FIXES TRIED:
    I did erase and install 3 to 4 times using both the install disc and my Tiger Family Pack. All ended up with strips on the JPEG images and the generated MPEG movies.
    I've also tried to flash the firmware to 113-xxxxx-124 using ATI's october 2005 universal ROM update, however, the ROM Revision shown in System Profiler is still 113-xxxxx-116 no matter how many time I reboot the system.
    INVESTIGATION:
    Yesterday, I did some research and got to know that JPEG and MPEG are using DCT (Discrete Cosine Transform) for decompression. And the ATI Radeon 9200 chip provide such a transform on hardware basis, which free the CPU from doing something else. Feel free to point out my inaccuracy.
    HARDWARE SPECIFICATION:
    I bought the Mac Mini in the last Februray.
    The system Boot ROM version is: 4.8.9f1
    Display card is ATI Radeon 9200
    Chipset Model: ATY,RV280
    Revision ID: 0x0001
    ROM Revision: 113-xxxxx-116
    A POSSIBLE CONCLUSION:
    I suspect that it is this part of the chip (the DCT) that is faulty.
    Anyone know how to fix this problem?
    Many thanks!

    Assuming that your display is tightly connected, thus the problem is not caused by something as simple as that, the fact that a full erase and install has not removed the problem would, I think, point to this being a hardware issue, and given that everyone's mini (with the possible exception of some of the latest ones) has the same video chipset as yours, and do not suffer the problem that you appear to, it seems very likely that your mini has a fault which is in need of repair.
    If you have an Apple Store nearby, I would take it there to have it checked out - at the very least they should be able to replicate your problem using an in-store display, and if not, thusly suggest it's something external to the mini and concerning your display or something very unusual in the immediate environment of the mini. If you don't have an Apple Store in reach, I'd take the system to an Apple authorized service provider since at the present time it is under warranty.

  • Mac Pro has problems rendering and RAM previewing in Adobe AE

    I've been using Adobe After Effects 7 and I have a 3g new Mac Pro. It's a great computer, really fast with Final Cut Studio Universal, etc. and when rendering sequences in FCP the program doesn't quit. BUT, when I'm trying to RAM preview or render a composition in Adobe After Effects the application will quit unexpectedly everytime. I found that it would only quit when the composition was over approx. 30seconds, but I've used an eMac that never had problems rendering much longer clips. The fact that the program quits after a certain amount of time makes me think it is an issue with RAM availability to the program, as in a conflict with the program, and the new intel-based Mac Pro. I've asked around on the Adobe website but there is no specific solution. Has anyone heard talk that the intel-based Macs or new OSX, are conflicting with Adobe applications, etc?

    Mostly correct, Jim. Photoshop CS3 (UB) Beta is available for download and a time-limited license to CS2 license-holders. The time-limit is unspecified, but Adobe says it will end when CS3 is released.
    All good reports the last time I checked on various fora.
    (CS3 install does not overwrite CS2, so in case Adobe releases CS3 and pulls the plug on those time-limited CS3 Beta licenses, you'll still have CS2 to limp along with until you receive 3.)
    CS2 seems to work fine on an Intel Mac, though slower because it's running in Rosetta. Heck, I'm using CS without difficulty, other than the slowness.
    However, all that doesn't help the OP with AE, which isn't scheduled for a UB release until mid-2007, IIRC.

  • Since I updated my 4S iphone to the latest iOS7 version, I can no longer close any of my apps.  As a result, all my apps remain open on my phone.  Even powering down and restarting does not solve the problem.  Specifically, the icons don't wiggle anymore.

    Since I updated my 4S iphone to the latest iOS7 version, I can no longer close any of my apps.  As a result, all my apps remain open on my phone.  Even powering down and restarting does not solve the problem.  Specifically, when I double-click the start button, my open app icons display.  But when I hold my finger on an icon, the apps do not wiggle and display an "x" to close.  Any advice... thanks?!

    Double tap the Home button, then swop upwards on the App Preview (not the App Icon). Tap the Home button again when done to return to normal screen.

  • Having problems rendering

    Hello everyone:
    OK now I'm having problems rendering. I have about 6m:22sec of video that I need to render. But I get this Render Error:
    Insufficient disk space. Free up space with the Render Manager and Retry?
    There is no files in the Render Manager Section?
    What do I do. The project is on a 1 TB Western Digital Ext Hard Drive with plenty of HD space.
    Any help would be great.
    This is not my day
    Damon

    The project is on a 1 TB Western Digital Ext Hard Drive with plenty of HD space.
    Fine. But where are the Render files being written to and how much space is on that drive?
    Look at your Scratch Disks setting to find out.

    I should have explained further. The game opens in a new window over to the upper left of my screen, leaving the original page underneath. I tried minimizing it so that I could get to my toolbar and did the View > Zoom > Reset. This has no effect. The lower portion of the game is still not showing. Using other browsers the window or frame of the game is much larger, therefore everything shows.

  • Problem rendering whole project

    Hi
    My Adobe Afther Effects CS6 will only render part of my project. My project is about 6 min long, but Afther Effects only renders about 3:20min of my project when I tell it to render it. It dosent stopp rendering or give me an error message, but seems to belive the project is only 3:20 min long (says the total length is 3:20 when it starts the render and finishes the render as if it was only 3:20).
    I am rendering to H.264 with best settings and running a 1,3GHZ dual processor with 4GB RAM on a 64bit system.
    Any help would be greatly appreciated

    Hi
    Thank you very much for your reply. As far as I can tell the inputt video I have (From GoPro Hero2) is 29 fps, the comp setting says its 25 fps and I belive the fps for H.264 format is 25 fps aswell. I have timed a lot of my transitions to the music and that all works fine on the 3:20 min long video that actually renders out.
    Could this problem have anything to do with to little RAM or Cache space?

  • Problem with sound, and problem with video transitions

    For some reason my audio isnt locked with my video anymore so when I move a clip the audio doesnt follow does anyone know how to fix that?
    Also, when I put in video transitions instead of just switching from the first clip to the second clip it flashes an image from other pieces of footage while transitioning and I need to figure out how to fix that too.
    Anyone know how to fix these?
    thanks

    Thanks i got the audio problem fixed.
    When I open up final cut it says some of the media has been disconnected but it then says I can't reconnect it or something like that, I don't know if that effects the transitions. I split up a lot of footage and rearranged it and for one of the places where it flashes a clip it shows one of the pieces of footage that I had deleted because it had a glitch and the other places I noticed it it had random clips from throughout the project, like a flash of an interview that happens way later in the film. So it is random clips that are in the film and even clips that I deleted.

  • Problems rendering Every-line Composer texts with Adobe Media Encoder

    I find the text paragraph setting "Adobe Every-line Composer" a huge time saver when dealing with large amounts of text in after effects. I rarely have to do any manual tracking or line breaks to make it look good, as opposed to working with the standard Single-line Composer.
    The problem is that when I render through Adobe Media Encoder (which I'm forced to do since they removed H264-mp4 support from AE:s internal renderer) the text is treated like single-line composed text. So the final render doesn't look like my AE project.
    I've found two solutions to this problem:
    1. Render a lossless video file in the AE renderer and then compress it with Media Encoder. This takes more time and HDD space, and it doesn't allow me to continue working in AE while rendering.
    2. Only use Single-line composed text and make all adjustments manually, the old school way. This would not be a problem if I had not already used, and fallen in love with, the Every-line option.
    Is there anyone that can think of a third, and preferably better, solution?
    I use the CC 2014 versions of AE and AMC.

    No, the text doesn't animate at all. It's just a normal static text box. The text part is extremely simple. All animations are done in other layers and pre-comps, combined with pre-rendered 3D graphics from Cinema 4D, rendered as image sequences. My problem is a bug, plain and simple. Or perhaps you could call it a "lack of feature support" or an "incompatibility between AE and Adobe Media Encoder".
    My problem appears only when my AE project has text boxes with the "Every-line Composer" option enabled (press the menu button in the Paragraph window to find it), AND the project is rendered through Adobe Media Encoder, no matter which output format I use. I have no problems what so ever inside of after effects, or when rendering Single-line Composer text in AMC.
    So, the problem is that Media Encoder doesn't recognize Every-line composed text. Instead it changes it to Single-line composed text, messing up text tracking and line breaks.
    To clarify: the Adobe Every-line Composer is analyzing the entire text box instead of only the current line. That way it can automatically change the tracking of individual lines to better distribute the line breaks and build a better whole, avoiding those stray words on the last line for example. Extremely handy, if you could only render it.
    I never wrote anything about animating text or that the codec is related to the text problems in any way. AMC is the problem. The codec is only a secondary problem since its the lack of mp4 H264 support that forces me to use Media Encoder in the first place, instead of using the AE render queue as I did in previous versions of AE. I like many things about rendering through AMC, like being able to continue working in AE while rendering, but there are still way too many glitches. And of course, there's the inability to render flv-files in AMC CC 2014, and Adobe's inability to provide a solution other than "Use an older version of AMC". Flv is their own damn format for christ's sake.
    Well, enough rambling.
    To put it simple:
    Has anyone had a problem with "Every-line Composer" in combination with Adobe Media Encoder? Did you find a solution other than the two less-than-perfect ones in my first message?
    Thanks!

  • Problems Rendering Jpg/Png

    I'm working on a project where we have tiff images and we break them into the individual pages, then we save those pages into memory streams in order to convert them into byte arrays so we can put that in a datatable column  and bind that table to a report that has a OLE blob field that renders the image.
    The problem I'm have is that in  less than 1% of images the report fails to render the image and throw the following error:
    Error in file tempReportPath.rpt: The request could not be submitted for background processing
    I have analyzed the error and it only happens when the image is saved in the memory Stream and byte array as a compressed format: JPG/PNG/ Etc. Saving the image as a bitmap does not produce this problem, but the bitmap memory footprint makes it unusable for this project.
    See code below.
    Public Shared Function GetPicturesBytes(ByVal FileFullName As String) As Byte()()
            If Not IO.File.Exists(FileFullName) Then Return Nothing
            Dim tiff As Image = Image.FromFile(FileFullName)
            Dim dimension As New Imaging.FrameDimension(tiff.FrameDimensionsList(0))
            Dim frames As Integer = tiff.GetFrameCount(dimension)
            Dim Result(frames - 1)() As Byte
            For index As Integer = 0 To frames - 1
                tiff.SelectActiveFrame(dimension, index)
                Dim ms As New MemoryStream()
                tiff.Save(ms, System.Drawing.Imaging.ImageFormat.Jpeg)
                Result(index) = ms.ToArray()
                ms.Dispose()
            Next
           'This way because the file remains locked until the Image is disposed!!!

    Hi;
    You don't mention which version of Crystal Reports you are using, or if you have installed the latest service packs.
    We saw a similar issue recently, and our findings were:
    - Crystal Reports 2008 with Service Pack 2 seems to handle images better than other versions
    - Bitmap (BMP) files seem to work better than JPGs
    Best Regards,

  • Problem rendering -- only part of the comp gets rendered

    I'm puzzled as to why our comps are only getting the first part rendered. then it stops and the rest looks like a still image. could this be a memory issue?
    We're using IMacs with Tiger.
    Thank you!

    It's all being done from local files, either on the hard drive or on a flash drive. no network involved.
    It would seem the iMacs can't handle it for some reason. They hav 1GB RAM and the processor is wGH PPC G5
    This morning i tried the same file on a different computer in the lab, (the instructor's computer) a tower, memory: 1 GB, processer: 1.8, 1.8 GHz Power PC
    g5, and it works on that one.
    I'm puzzled because last year with the same computers we had no problem. It was the previous version of After Effects, fwiw.
    While i'm relieved to see that it could work on the instructor's computer, i'd like to know if there's anything that can be done to make the iMacs work too. are there settings i should be looking at in Preferences perhaps?
    Thanks much.

  • Problem importing specific data from .csv file

    Hello!
    I'm using JDev 11.1.3.0 with JSF ui and I've been following the excellent example about importing comma separated values from a .csv file, of Mr. Bors, but I have a specific problem...
    1) When i try to import a date value (format dd/mm/yyyy) to a date field of my adf table, the date won't be accepted and it's not shown (I'm using Row.setAttribute("Field", textValue) for that purpose). I guess I have to enter it in a specific format but don't know how!
    2) Same thing with double values. Tried 1.50 and it's showing on the adf table 0.02. Tried 1,50 (with a different text separator) and it's throwing me an error and doesn't show anything on the table (again i'm using Row.setAttribute("Field", textValue) for that one too)...
    Any help would be appreciated!
    Thank you

    I tried your suggestion before I set my question but didn't know if I was looking on the right direction (I tried some things but they didn't work out). After a bit poking everything was fine...
    So I used
    Row.setAttribute("Field_name", oracle.jbo.domain.Date.fromText(value, "dd/mm/yyyy", null));
    and it did the trick...
    Weird thing about numbers was that after that, they were entered properly on the table with a normal Row.setAttribute("Field_name", value); with value being a String... anyway!
    Thank you Timo!

  • Problem rendering a combo box in the data grid

    Hi,
    I am rendering a combo box in the data grid control using an
    item renderer. When I click on it to select a value from the drop
    down, the combo box immediately closes giving no time to even click
    on the dropdown. This doesn’t happen every time the combo is
    clicked, although it happens frequently. What I think is that the
    problem arises because the data grid tries to refresh the renderers
    and during this process, the existing combo is removed, thereby
    getting closed automatically. Please let me know of a work around.
    Thanks,
    Cheree

    hi hiwa,
    i have to add combo box in datagrid dynamically.
    it should append as and when i add the data in the above text boxes.
    thanks in advance.

  • Resolution problems - rendering?

    I'm using iMovie to cut a project. The titling and photos and I think videos are coming out really poor in terms of resolution. In the Preview when I choose which style of title, the resolution is crisp. Then I drag it in to the time line, it plays back really poorly (therefor don't think it's screen resolution).
    I firewired an iMovie project from a coworker that has a new MacBook directly on to my computer. It was fine on his, then on mine, again, the resolution was horrible.
    I'm not sure if a rendering setting is set to something because my last couple computers have all had poor resolution when it comes to iMovie projects. Can anyone give advice?
    I just bought this computer MacBook Pro last week.

    Since apparently my pictures seem to have disappeared:
    zoom_400.jpeg:
    zoom_600.jpeg:
    So I assume it is an Acrobat problem then. Still strange though that is also appeared in the RIP (does Acrobat use the same PDF library or engine as the APPE to render PDF's)?
    Thanks for the feedback BTW!
