Problem with Stills

Coming from Premiere 6.5, I have a bunch of jpgs saved at 720x530. When I import them into CS3 they are "squished" (yes, I'm not a pro) and the subjects look fat. I revised a few to 720x480, and they appear in the source window just fine, but in the reference window and monitor, as well as the output from an export, they for some reason are zoomed and therefore the entire subject does not appear.
I'm sure it's a simple issue, but any help would be appreciated. Thanks

Hi Paul,
It is an issue with the Pixel Aspect Ratio I feel sure although I don't use Premiere. Look at the menu Image > Pixel Aspect Ratio and change to the one which works for your import.

Problems with still frames blurring in Final Cut Express....

I have had problems with still frames blurring. I've discovered it's related to the green line above the time line on the sequence bar. I can't find the name of the bar but it's red if you need rendering. There are green lines and when the scrubber hits the line the frame goes blurry.
I'm guessing it's related to another previous attempt at adding motion to the still. My question, I think, is how to eliminate the green lines to the regular blue?

If there are any colored bars above your video other than the normal grey/light blue then you need to render the sequence out by hitting Option-R.

IPad camera -problems with still shot, very grainy images indoors or atnight

Hello, I have the ipad 2 and am experiencing problems with the still camera shots (using the built in rear camera). The images are very grainy to such an extent that th ipad camera images are unusable when taken indoors (under full light), in early evening (under partial light) or at night (under normal indoor night lighting). I can not see any camera settings so not sure if this is a camera problem with my ipad2 or a more general problem with ipad 2 camera images. Any suggestions welcome as It means my iPad2 camera is effectively unusable

The cameras on the iPad won't produce the quality of photo that you'd get from a compact digital camera, and when the light isn't good there will be a noticeable graining. The cameras on the iPad are mainly for things such as FaceTime or for use in good light conditions - otherwise you'll get better results with a digital compact, or even something like an iPhone 4.

Problem With Still Photos in iMovie 06

I am creating a movie that includes still photos. The stills are all imported from iPhoto. The problem is, when i import some of them, the little red bar runs across the bottom of the photo and then it goes black. Photo appears to be gone, just a black frame left. It doesn't happen to all of them, just some. All are jpegs. Any ideas what the problem is?
Thank you for your time.

Hi
And this 100Gb is on Your internal (start-up) drive ? Others don't count.
*Not knowing the origin to Your problem - General approach when in trouble is as follows:*
• Free space on internal (start-up) hard disk if it is less than 10Gb should rather have 25Gb
• Hard disk is untidy: Repair Permissions, Repair Hard disk (Apple Disc Util tool)
• Delete iMovie pref file - or rather start a new user/account - log into this and re-try
• Third party plug-ins that doesn't work OK (not relevant for iMovie’08)
• Program miss-match: iMovie 5.0.2, up to Mac OS X.4.11 AND QuickTime 7.4.1 - is OK
• Program miss-match: iMovie 6.0.3 or 6.0.4, Mac OS X.4.11 AND QuickTime 7.4.1 - is OK (might work under Leopard)
• Program miss-match: iMovie’08 v. 7.0.1, Mac OS X.4.11 AND QuickTime 7.4.1 - is OK (might work under Leopard)
• Screen must be set to Million-colors
iMovie pref file resides:
Mac Hard Disk (start-up HD)/Users/"Your account"/Library/Preferences and is named: com.apple.iMovie.plist
While iMovie is NOT RUNNING - move this file out to desk-top.
Now restart iMovie.
From LKN 1935: (in this case = iMovie HD (5), I tried it all, but nothing worked.
Your answer (above) has been helpfull insofar as all the different trials led to the conclusion that
there was something wrong with my iMovie software. I therefore threw everything away and reinstalled
iMovie from the HD. After that the exportation of DV videos (there has not been any problem with HDV videos)
to my Sony camcorders worked properly as it did before.

Problems with stills on my timeline (Orange screen of shame)

So, I tried the VSO Image resizer and found it simple to use. It seems to be fine, thanks for the
recommendation.   I think Photoshop might provide better control, but for the purposes of my current project, this VSO Image is convenient.
Using Pre Vers 7
Turns out I still have a problem with two of the images (jpg format)
1) I bring them onto the timeline just fine.
2) Then, I save as a clip ("share" tab) the entire project (which is approx 3 1/2 minutes) in MPEG2 1440x1081i 30 format.
3) I then bring that movie clip onto a different --- what will be the final --- project.   I bring on a few other segments as well (finished project will run approx 20 mins and consist of six segments)
Where two of the images are supposed to be shows a solid, bright orange screen, not the still images. I've gone back and checked, the organe screen space is exactly where these two images are on the original projects ... they even have transitions (cross dissolve) into and out of them!
I have tried removing them and replacing them and changing the transitions, etc. However, when I re-save   (share) the clip, where these images are still shows up orange.
I've seen this happen with a couple images on a different project. Same story   . .    only a couple images create the issue, and I believe I've processed all that same (did batch process to down res)
Thoughts?   Thanks
Chuck

Thanks for the responses.   Here's a bunch more info. Perhaps too much, but I want to be thorough.
Info on Project:
Running Prel 7
Set up project in format HDV 1080i (video frame size 1440 x 1080)
Content consists of:|
video (HD captured from tape, wide screen HD   …..   clips in .m2t format)
stills   (jps … see below)
JPGs    History / processing sequence of stills
a) Initial image    ….   4.86M pixels, 1600 x 1062, resolution 72, file size   310K   (downloaded from web)I b) Edited in Lightroom (white balance, exposure, sharpening, cropping, etc.)   Then saved as highest quality JPG as possible    ….   4.65M pixels, 1565 x 1039, resolution 240, file size   1.3 MB
c) Used VSO image resizer.
Selected the profile entitled HDTV (1080). Resolution 1920 x 1080. “Filtering” set to “Lanczos”. Quality 90%.   Result   …   ….   5.03M pixels, 1627 x 1080, resolution 240, file size   516K.
The last image is what I brought onto the timeline.
The initial project prefs did NOT deselect "default scale to frame size".    I simply brought the content into the project and placed them on the timeline.
Everything rendered fine   (all green above timeline). And when I saved the segment (share tab, MPEG 1440x1080)) it seemed to process correctly. Then, I opened the segment (now its own m2t file) and brought it into a new project (the one I use to assemble the final movie) I see a problem. Of perhaps 20 stills, two or three are solid orange. It’s as if instead of the photograph I have a solid, bright orange screen. The transitions (typically cross dissolve) into / out of the orange image work fine.   Just that it’s an orange screen, not the photo.
Note   . . . I tried a few other things.
*** Deleted the image, re-set preferences to deselect   , brought image back into project   . . .   when processed same orange screen result.
*** Changed the position of the image on the timeline (placed in between different clips/images) . . . same result.
I checked one of the images that worked fine and saw the following:    4.85 pixels, 1571 x 1080, resolution 240,   file size 276K
System Spec:
Core2 Duo, [email protected], 3GB mem, NVidia GeForce 8800GT (512 MB), XP Pro
Appreciate any thoughts y'all have

Problem with still image quality 1920 x 1080 HD Export

Hey everyone ---
Question that I can't seem to find a clear answer for -- maybe you can help !
I am producing a film and am exporting it using the H264 setting, square pixels, CBR. Video quality is wonderful --- but I am having an issue with a still image. Essentially, I am importing an image of a film logo at the beginning of my film. The image is vector, dropped into photoshop from illustrator, saved as either an EPS or jpg, then I import that into the timeline. Once exported, video looks crisp and beautiful, but the logo at the beggining has slightly jagged edges and is NOT crystal sharp super clear as it should be or as it was saved as.
I've tried a few things but can't seem to get the formula right. I tried adjusting frame size, doesn't work. I tried bringing in a HUGE image and scaling it down, again, doesn't work. I've used many versions of premiere (since 6.0) and I don't remember ever having this sort of problem. I've tried all the frame sizes, from 1440 x 1080 to 1920 x 1080 (my source footage) and it just doesn't like to render the image crisply.
Any ideas?
Thanks !

Create a new .psd in Photoshop (using the Film and Video templates) that match your sequence settings. Bring the vector image into PS and add it on a second layer to that new .psd. Save out that .psd as a .png with no Interlacing.
Bring that into PP for use in the sequence.

Flicker problem with still images

I have a series of still images in my timeline. There is a red garment in each of these images and it is producing a moray effect on the red garment. I also keyframed some of the still images for movement and it makes the problem worse. Is there a filter or some other trick I can use to get ride of the moray problem?
Thanks.

Thanks Al and sorry for the misspelling, however, the original still image does not have a moire problem, it is only when I import it to FCE and I keyframe a panning movement to the image that I get the moire effect which is very distracting. Do you know of any tricks within FCE that may help remove or reduce this effect?
Thanks.

Problem with stills - output window

I am new to Premiero Pro.
I have imported a still into my project and the preview window displays this perfectly but when I add to and play the timeline, the still image
in the output window is cropped (edge's of the still dont display)
The image is not a particulary high resolution, 2048 i think
Any one know why this happens please ? and can it be corrected.
Thanks
Chris

Problem exporting Premiere Pro CS5.5 projects with still photos and h264 video

I'm a longtime Final Cut Pro user and evaluating Premiere Pro for my workplace before making the switch. I have been running into several problems when I try to export raw h264 video from a Canon 5D combined with still images on a Macbook Pro. Either I receive an error in Premiere Pro saying, "Error compiling movie. Unknown error." or Adobe Media Encoder appears to continue exporting (the time elapsed bar continues to move) even though the time remaining stays frozen once it hits a photo it doesn't like. It's not always the same photo.
I've spent several days trying to troubleshoot the issue, including batch resizing all photos to 1920 wide (to match the video settings), and it hasn't work. The sequence is currently set to render in ProRes 422. I've also tried HDV 1080p30 and MPEG-4. I cannot find any consistency with the errors. Occasionally an export will work, but every couple still photos will look like green static. I've also tried batch converting the photos in Photoshop to PNG and GIF without any luck. I'd include my default export settings but I've pretty much tried it all. I'm just trying to figure out what's causing the error since the message is very vague.
Couple other notes:
There's plenty hard drive space available for export
I can export the DSLR video (h264, 1080p30) without still photos no problem
I can edit the same still photos and video in Final Cut with no problem
I have the same problem with auto-save on and off
I tried re-installing production premium, deleting the preference files and cleaning the media cache - no luck. I also tried exporting under a different user account and it wouldn't work.
This is driving absolutely crazy. I'm affraid to use PP on deadline because I don't see any issues until it's time to export. Any ideas would be greatly appreciated. Thanks!

Thanks Todd. Your questions were actually very helpful. I'm using a Macbook Pro with an Intel Core i7 processor and NVIDIA GeForce GT 330M graphics card. I'm running OS 10.6.8 and have the latest updates installed.
When I disabled the GPU acceleration, I was able to render and export without a problem. The problem only occured when using the GPU acceleration and mixing h264 with still photos. It also affected both rendered previews and the final export. I'm assuming its a support issue with the graphics cards, but it would be great if you had any other ideas. I appreciate your help.

I'm having problems with excessive email usage on my iphone 4/ios 7. Just noticed that (settings/usage) it was using 900 mb. I deleted all my mail, deleted the mail account, and it still says it's using 661 mb. My ipad uses a fraction of that.

I'm having problems with excessive email usage on my iphone 4/ios 7. Just noticed that it (settings/usage) was using 900+ mb. I deleted all my mail, deleted the mail account, turned the phone off and back on, downloaded any remaining mail on the server to Outlook on my computer, and it still says it's using 661 mb. My ipad uses a fraction of that.
Background: I recently (December) bought an ipad and set up icloud for contacts and calendar, but NOT mail. My email provider is Verizon. I use computer, iphone, and ipad to check my email; eventually I download it from the server using Outlook on the computer and then delete any remaining emails from the phone and ipad. I can't find info on this problem anywhere.

Howdy there COUGAR444,
It sounds like your iPad all of a sudden seems to be restarting out of no where. If you haven't called AppleCare yet, I would start with quitting either the app that seems to be causing the issue, or all the apps if a single doesn't seem to be the culprit.
iOS: Force an app to close
Double-click the Home button.
Swipe left or right until you have located the app you wish to close.
Swipe the app up to close it.
When you have done that restart the device and test the issue again:
iOS: Turning off and on (restarting) and resetting
If the issue persists, backup your device to iTunes, then restore it as new and verify that it works.
How to erase your iOS device and then set it up as a new device or restore it from backups
If it does, then restore your backup to either verify it still works and the software just needed reinstalled, or isolate the issue to the backup file itself.
Thank you for using Apple Support Communities.
Regards,
Sterling

I created one apple I'd when I started using the iPad. After some days, I had to create a new apple I'd as there was some problem with the first one. Now at some places still my old apple I'd is appearing. Pls adv how I change this to my new apple Id.

I created one apple I'd when I started using the iPad. After some days, I had to create a new apple id
as there was some problem with the first one. Now at some places still my old apple Id is appearing. Pls adv how I change this to my new apple Id.

Anything you downloaded with the first Apple Id will forever be tied to it, and will always require it to update.
The question here is, why did you think you needed to create a new Apple ID? What was the problem with the first one?
To get rid of th old one, you'll need to delete everything you downloaded with it, and then sign out of the ID in several places around the iPad.
Go to Settings->iTunes & App Stores->Apple ID->Sign out.
Repeat the process, for Facetime, Messages, Mail and any other App you need to sign out of.

I had already update mi new factory unlocked iPhone 4S to iOS 5.1.1 and I still having problems with "invalid sim". I'm from Argentina and here we don't have official service. PLEASE HELP ME, WHAT CAN I DO??? In Argentina is too expensive an iPhone 4S.

I had already update mi new factory unlocked iPhone 4S to iOS 5.1.1 and I still having problems with "invalid sim". I'm from Argentina and here we don't have official service. PLEASE HELP ME, WHAT CAN I DO??? In Argentina is too expensive an iPhone 4S. Please I need help to continue believing in Apple. Thanks a lot. If anybody speak spanish better.

Was it purchased from an official Apple Store, not a reseller? Only Apple Stores sell official factory unlocked phones. The others sell hacked to unlock phones, and the unlocking is unstable.
Try these steps, as needed:
1. Reset phone - press both home and on/off buttons for at least 10 seconds until the Apple logo appears.
2. Settings > General > Reset > Reset Network Settings.
3. Replace SIM card (and reset network settings again)
4. Restore Phone in iTunes using a backup
5. Restore in iTunes as new, without using a backup
