Problem with pixelly still images but GREAT transitions/ken burns....
I'm creating a slide show to be projected on a 9' screen by a projector that has 1024X768 resolution. I resized all my jpegs to 1024 by 768 and dumped them into iMovie due to the fact that I want lots of different lengths and transitions/fades/Ken Burns FX for different still photos (as opposed to just creating a slideshow from iPhoto).
My Problem is that after I burned in iDVD at "highest quality" and I project on the big screen, the non-FX photos look pixelled and the transitions/pans/zooms etc are fine! When editing on my cinema display everything looks fine too. The pixelization is just annoying and I'm wondering of I missed a step in the send to iDVD process, or if maybe the transitions are rendered and the non-FX still parts are not?
Any ideas GREATLY appreciated!

You didn't have to do the downscaling because NTSC DV is scaled to 720x480 in the end no matter what.
non-FX photos look pixelled and the transitions/pans/zooms etc are fine!
So obviously the cause was this ancient iMovie bug that haunts the poor users:
Basically iMovie renders jaggy stills when sending them to tape or iDVD.
On the other hand, Ken-Burnsed images, transitions/pans/zooms are immune to that bug because they are converted to video before that bug has a chance to destroy them.

Problem with importing still images
When I import images for creating a time-lapse video, some of the images are automatically being rotated +90 degrees. If I go through an manually correct them, they end up not be in the correct position or the correct scale (even though scale says 100 for all of them).
How do I prevent the autmatic rotating of still images?
Thanks,
RickyCheck its properties in Windows Explorer. If that shows it as 664x1000 then PRE is importing correctly and IrfanView is 'auto-correcting'.
I seem to recall that IrfanView does "non-destructive" Rotation, unlike PS/PSE, where the actual pixels are rearranged, and are exported in that condition, with Save/Save_As. Might be something in the IrfanView Rotation scheme? Just a guess on my part, too, but I would anticipate that the Rotation in IrfanView is getting in the way, as other programs do not see the full effect of that scheme.
Not sure what "image viewers" are installed with Windows, but I would Open one of those problem files in, say Windows Paint, or Windows FAX Image Viewer, or something else than IrfanView to test.
Good luck,

Problems with seeing photos while working on the Ken Burns Effect
I am having difficulty seeing my photos when I use the Ken Burns Effect. All I get is a black screen. It won't let me adjust anything on the photos because the screen is black. Please Help
So I have kind of the same issue here but it is slightly different. I tried all of the tricks that have been posted here but I am getting the black screen on brand new pictures that are imported both with and without the ken burns effect on them. I don't seem to have the problems on pictures that are already in the video with/without the KB effect.
I have also tried to do it under another user account, downgraded iMovie HD 6 from 6.0.3 down to 6.0 and 6.0.2 and nothing seems to help. I have even removed the plists on both ~/Library/Preferences/com.apple.iMovie.plist along with anything in /Library/Preferences having to do with iMovie without any success. The only solution that I am resorting to is to just use a different computer all together or format the drive on my computer.
Any solutions? I have a video that needs to be down by the end of next week... -

Problem with displaying BLOB images on JSP page using a servlet
hi. I have a big problem with displaying BLOB images using JSP. I have a servlet that connects to the oracle database, gets a BLOB image , reads it, and then displays it using a BinaryStream. The problem is , this works only when i directly call that servlet, that is http://localhost:8080/ImageServlet. It doesn't work when i try to use that servlet to display my image on my JSP page (my JSP page displays only a broken-image icon ) I tried several coding approaches with my servlet (used both Blob and BLOB objects), and they work just fine as long as i display images explicitly using only the servlet.
Here's what i use : ORACLE 10g XE , Eclipse 3.1.2, Tomcat 5.5.16 , JDK 1.5
here is one of my image servlet's working versions (the essential part of it) :
BLOB blob=null;
rset=st.executeQuery("SELECT * FROM IMAGES WHERE ID=1");
while (rset.next())
blob=((OracleResultSet)rset).getBLOB(2);
response.reset();
response.setContentType("image/jpeg");
response.addHeader("Content-Disposition","filename=42.jpeg");
ServletOutputStream ostr=response.getOutputStream();
InputStream istr=blob.getBinaryStream(1L);
int size=blob.getBufferSize();
int len=-1;
byte[] buff = new byte[size];
while ((len=istr.read( buff ))!=-1 ) {
ostr.write(buff,0,len);
response.flushBuffer();
ostr.close(); and my JSP page code :
<img src="/ImageServlet" border="0" > If you could just tell me what i'm doing wrong here , or if you could show me your own solutions to that problem , i would be very greatful ,cos i'm realy stuck here , and i'm rather pressed for time too. Hope someone can help.I turns out that it wasn't that big of a problem after all. All i had to do was to take the above code and place it into another JSP page instead of into a servlet like i did before. Then i just used that page as a source for my IMG tag in my first JSP. It works perfectly well. Why this doesn't work for servlets i still don't know, but it's not a problem form me anymore . Ofcourse if someone knows the answer , go ahead and write. I would still appriceatte it.
here's the magic tag : <img src="ImageJSP.jsp" border="0" > enjoy : ) -
DW CS3 problem with PNG-8 images in Design View?
DW CS3 (build 3481) on XP seems to have problems with PNG-8 images, specifically trying to display them in design view.
I had a very simple image that was able to be exported by Fireworks CS4 as PNG-8 using 4 colors (no transparency) for a tiny file size under 250 bytes.
DW could not display it at all, or even recognize it, reporting it was 0 x 0 in size. I published the page anyway, and it looked fine in the browser.
I upped the number of colors to 32, and DW could then display it in design view in the page I was working on.
I'm still having problems with other PNG-8 images. The attached file "temp.jpg" is a screenshot showing part of the design view in DW.
The smaller image on the left of the banner is "58_certificate_of_discharge.png" (attached), and the larger image below is used as the background of the DIV containing the form,"compassbk.png" (also attached).
These images all look fine in the browser, but terrible in DW.
I'm stumped as to why.
Thanks in advance.According to a different discussion, the images that are stuck as "Queued" are showing a bug in the virus scanning on the forums.
Now trying the recommended 'camera icon' method...
Looks like it worked.
Now compare what it looks like in DW CS3 in the design view:
It's a 16 color PNG-8 made in Fireworks CS4 with no transparency, size is 113 x 58, ending up at 1.71K.
If this is a repeatable problem in CS3, is there any hope of it being resolved, or am I stuck with upgrading to CS4 as my only option (assuming it's fixed in CS4)?
Thanks. -
I have an iPhone 4S and never had a problem with syncing it. But suddenly, when I connected my phone to my mac, it says that its in recovery mode, and I need to restore it in order to sync. I've updated both my phone and my itunes, and it didnt work.Help?

No, it does not. It transfers purchases from the iDevice to the computer. The computer must be authorized for the Apple ID that the content was acquired with.

Are they selected to sync? Is Manually Manage content on the device selected?

How do I make a still image (photo) fit the length of the music? I record music and want to convert the tracks to a video file with a still image of my business logo in the background. On windows movie maker you could just select "fit to music" but this program isnt as easy to figure out! Any help?
Double-click on the still image in the project timeline to open the Inspector. In the Inspector, adjust the duration by typing in a new duration to match the length of your music. I think the limit for a still image is 10 minutes. If you need more than this, simply drag the image into the timeline again then adjust its duration. The two images will play seamlessly (no gap will be visible).
See this iMovie Help topic:
http://help.apple.com/imovie/#mov3a883915
You can achieve more precision when entering durations by changing a preference in the menu item iMovie Preferences. Check (tick) the preference for Show Time As HH:MM:SS:frames. This will enable you to enter the duration of stills down to the frame level, rather than full seconds (NTSC is 30 frames per second; PAL is 25 fps). When entering times, type a colon between each time segment, such as 2:50:15, which represents 2 minutes 50 seconds and 15 frames. For 5 seconds 20 frames you would enter 5:20 and so forth.
Note that the music will only run to the length of the video in the timeline (in your case, the still images). So, after increasing the stills duration you will need to drag the end of the music track as far as required. The stills can be dragged inwards to reduce the duration if necessary.

There are a few reasons why you might receive this message after installing iTunes. You may need to verify that iTunes has been completely removed before trying to install again. See this article for the steps to completely remove and reinstall iTunes:

Problem with rendering still frame capture in FCP7
I'm a hack, so let's keep that in mind as I ask this question....but I *did* try to look through the forum for a similar issue before I created this post.
My situation: I am pulling some HD video from a Canon Vixia into FCP and basically just piecing it together with some minor editing to match music beats, etc. for some local sports leagues. Generally I find no issues with FCP, although I've only been dabbling with it for a few months.
My problem: My latest creation here: http://anothermotherproductions.smugmug.com/Movies/2011-Lacrosse-sample-movie/17 693649_L5rr8X does something annoying. I pulled a still frame from the video clip to let it hang there for a few seconds. See the 1:01 mark. The still frame looks clear in FCP, but when exported (and I've tried a few different formats, like h.264, pro-res, and "sharing" it for iPod) the image is ugly - looks like a motion blur from an old TV or something.
I've checked that the last frame of the video clip is the frame BEFORE the still frame, so walking step by step through the sequence reveals a normal sequence of motion, with the final frame "hanging" there for a while because its the still frame.
Make sense?
Anyone have constructive input?
Thanks.Thank you so much - that helped tremendously. Image looks great now, AND I learned something.

Problem with display an image on JFrame in Java 6
I'm trying to display an image on JFrame in this way:
1.) I'm creating a variable in the class:
private Image imgSpeaker = null;2.) I'm overiting the paint method:
public void paint(Graphics g) {
super.paint(g);
g.drawImage(imgSpeaker, 330, 230, null);
}3.) In the constructor I'm using this code:
imgSpeaker = Toolkit.getDefaultToolkit().getImage("D:\\speaker.gif");
MediaTracker trop = new MediaTracker(this);
trop.addImage(imgSpeaker,0);
try {
trop.waitForID(0); // waiting untill downloading progress will be complite
} catch (Exception e) {
System.err.println(e);
} The Image will be displayed on form, but if I catch the window and move it (for example: down as possible)
the image is not refreshed (repainted). What I'm doing wrong? I've been used this solution in Java 5 and everything
works perfectly. Any of described methods aren't depricated... Anyone can help me?Thanks for your code, I've been tryed to apply your solution (with create a Buffered Image), but it still not working correctly. Firstly, the image isn't loading, and secondly the basic problem is not give in. Why have you been using "bg2d.draw(img, x, y, w, h, frame);" not in the paint method?

View for active Incidents related to WI (Problem) with status (Active) works but can't be changed.
Hi,
I wanted to create a view of Incidents which are linked to a Problem (any problem).
I did a quick test using the Incident (advanced) class, selected to display Incidents with status Active and [Work Item] Is Related To Work Item and status for Problem with the status Active.
At this first test I didn't bother to select any specific columns to display but just went with the pre-selected ( Description, Display Name, Display Name) and it worked.
I got a list of expected Incidents in the view but having the Description column made it quite useless.
So, when I try to select the columns I find useful it will not update and it returns a No items found message instead.
(image removed due to limitations)
It is of course possible to group by one of the Display Name fields and collapse to get a more workable view but it still lacks a lot of good information. One would like to include ID, title, Created date,
date modified, Display Name for Affected User and Assigned to user, and a few others.
I was just a bit stumped as to why this fails when changing the columns on a view that obviously is possible to create.
Thanks in advance,
DanielConsider using the Advanced View Editor( or
the free edition), since it has much more robust criteria and column editing capabilities. -
Problems with the background image size in a photobook
Hi there, I really need help here. When I make a photobook I want to display my images large, taking the whole page. To do that I put the image as a background and it's OK. My problem is that when I do this, iPhoto always crops it. I have to use the move tool to move the image up and down, left or right to chose a best position. I don't want to do this, I want my image to be shown perfectly from end to end. I have to resize the image in many ways, even used the book's native resolution but it still doesn't work. If I choose "fit photo to frame size" I end up with two stripes at the top and the bottom of the page.
Please help me, what size should I resize my image to, so that iPhoto displays it as it is?
Thank youHi
The fact you are using a Mac is why both myself and JCellini assumed you where using a pre IE7 version.
But the code you are using to test in IE will cause a problem with any 'virtual machine' such as crossover, because it cannot reference anything outside its own assigned section of the drive, and referencing the png in the way you are would be for it an invalid reference, it also would not work in any browser when you uploaded the site.
Change - background-image:url(file:///Macintosh HD/Users/myname/Documents/websites/test/Test/images/test_back.png);
To - background-image:url(images/test_back.png);
But if the region is not editable I would suggest you temporarily make it so, externalize your css to a css file, insert a link to the external css file in your head content, then lock the region once again. This way you will always be able to edit your css without worrying about 'locked regions'.
