ProRes and level change when I play

I'm not sure what I'm doing wrong, but when I capture at any of the ProRes settings, (proxy, LT, or 422) there is a level change between the footage parked and when it is playing. I thought it was the Gamma correction Auto/none setting, but that doesn't make any difference. I'm capturing from a Panasonic HD1400 via firewire. When I capture at DVCPro HD there is no shift. Thanks in advance for any help.

I'm not making any critical judgements of the footage this way, I just don't want it to change so drastically while I'm editing, particularly when DVCPRO HD doesn't do this. I guess one choice (from the school of Dr. it hurts when I do this...) would be just to continue editing in DVCPRO HD, but I wanted to be able to use the ProRes proxy for rough cuts, as OfflineRT looks really bad.

Level change when adding audio keyframes

Hi all,
I've been in Avid Land for the last few months and just came back and noticed something that was getting on my nerves when I left (I don't recall seeing this before FCP 6). When I add keyframes to my audio levels with the pen tool, I get a keyframe, but at the same time, it lowers my level as if I had added a keyframe and then dragged it down. As far as I can tell it does this every time.
Does anyone know what this is about?
Thanks,
Matt

I was having this problem, so just before I composed this reply I did some tests. It could well be 'sloppy mouse work' but I don't think so. This time the audio level went up by 1 db but before it was dropping by 1 db when adding a keyframe. During the test, no matter how accurate I was the audio level changed when adding a keyframe. The track I was working on was enlarge somewhat and the problem didn't happen on standard sized tracks. I feel that this has to be some sort of bug.
I have always found FCP a little bit on the 'accurate' side. You have to be very precise when clicking on items otherwise you will miss. Some buttons are way too small and I think Apple could improve the FCP workflow by enlarging some buttons and allowing more space around clickable items.
A good example of this is the 3 way colour corrector. The left and right buttons for blacks/mids/whites are very hard to hit and I quite often hit the maximum by mistake.
I have worked on many non-linear systems and FCP is the only one where mouse accuracy is so important.
I am, to some extent used to this now and I suppose it is a minor inconvenience in comparison to the benefits of using FCP but, in the interests of improvement and ease of use it would be good if Apple could take this onboard.
Weenie.

Ipod will not display track and artist name when i play a song

ipod will not display track and artist name when i play a song... i cant see the the volume display to adjust it eiether. Everyting shows up in the menus just not on the now playing screen.... any suggestions?

Try restoring your iPod. Just be aware that restoring will erase the hard drive, reload the software and put it back to default settings. Once the restore is complete follow the on screen instructions and it should connect to iTunes and give you a prompt to automatically update your library onto the fresh installation. If you want to update manually or using selected playlists choose no and it will default to manual mode and you can choose whatever setting you like: Restoring iPod to factory settings with iTunes 7

Automatic reorder level change when executing it twice

Hi,
When I create forecasting view I only fill the forecast model “automatic” and selection procedure “2”, after the first run some additional settings are fill by the system (model selection, optimization level, alpha factor, delta factor) and if I run forecast again the values (reorder level) change from the first forecast value. Regading to this when executing in mass mode should i do it twice in order to get a more accurate forecast value or should I fulfill more values in forecast view and obtain the same reorder level even if a excute it twice.
Thanks

Why clip speed and pitch changes when I drag it from the browser to the timeline ?

In fcpx when I play the clip in the browser it is fine but when I drag and play the same clip in the time line the audio and video clip speed plays slow....and I can hear that weird wobble sound .....why is this happening.....? Kindly help.

1)I have already done that but in that timeline also with 25 fps specified the clips are playing slow ,leave aside the hay wire going clips....
2) when I extract exactly 2 seconds of clip from the browser, almost 48 frames ...the extracted clip in the timeline shows two or three extra frames ...that is may be because of the handles ?or some other issue
3)but when I make a new project/timeline with 25 frames ....and then add clips it works fine....
definately issue is with the framerate but I will have to begin from scratch of 300 files ...so do you think this already made and copy pasted sequence should work fine in the new timeline as you said ....as it is not working....and secondly does quality of video suffer if you bring it down from 25 to 23 frames in that case I will work all over again.......just waiting for your reply ...thank you.

When I put my 4th gen iPod Touch in my iPod dock it makes the sound and charges but when I play music it is silent. Help?

The volume slider at the bottom disappears, so it is connected and my iPod dock will play music on my old 4th Gen iPod Touch. My new iPod will play fine through headphones, the internal speaker and one other iPod dock I have tried. I have restarted it (home and lock keys), reset and backed it up and this problem existed when it was on iOS6 (have updated it to iOS6.1 - problem still exists). Any help or suggestions welcome!!

Try:
- Reset the iOS device. Nothing will be lost
Reset iOS device: Hold down the On/Off button and the Home button at the same time for at
least ten seconds, until the Apple logo appears.
- Reset all settings
Go to Settings > General > Reset and tap Reset All Settings.
All your preferences and settings are reset. Information (such as contacts and calendars) and media (such as songs and videos) aren’t affected.
- Restore from backup. See:
iOS: How to back up
- Restore to factory settings/new iOS device.
However, sometimes an iOS update will break conpatibility and you will have to wair for an update to either the iOS or the dock firmware.

Opacity level changing when exporting text with alpha

Hello,
I am hoping someone can shed some light on what is happening with my opacity levels when exporting text with an alpha. I have animated text where some words are black at 50% opacity and some words are white at full opacity. They are on a textured background. I need to give the other editors a version of the text married to the background and one that is just text with an alpha. When I export it and bring it into Premiere, the "married" version looks fine, but the black in the version of the text with alpha appears more transparent. I can fix this by changing the blend mode to Hard Light or Luminosity, but this alters the color of the white text slightly (and I should note that the blend mode in AE was normal). I can of course work around this by exporting my black and white text separately, but I was hoping someone might know why this is happening.
I am working on AE CC (ver12) and Premiere CC (ver7)
Thank you!

Rick, I am judging visually.
I have since taken the cue from Mylenium, and I think the problem has to do with the fact that AE's default opacity is not linear and Premiere's is. When I change the sequence settings of Premiere and uncheck "Composite in Linear Color" the blacks of my clips match. Similarly when I change my Project Settings in AE and check "Linearize Working Space" the blacks appear lighter as they did when with the text only clip in Premiere. Since I am working with other editors that are using Premiere, I assume I should change the settings in After Effects to match Premiere (linear). Unless there is any reason I shouldn't do that?
Thank you,

Folders and images change when hard drive disconnected

I have no problem importing images. From CD's, when the CD is removed the file folder and images stay there with reference to the original location.
However, I have several hard drives and when I import files and folders from one of them and then disconnect it, Lightroom renames all the folders and changes the images--What is causing this?????

Yes, the images stay on the external drive as I don't move them upon import. I have 5 external Hard Drives and my problem is with the two larger ones, both Firewire 800 if that matters. In any case, the files imported from the non 800 drives do not have any problems. They are noted as not being on-line when I disconnect the drive, but thumbnails, location and file naming are all the same. With the 800 drives, the images corrupt AND change name. A few will still show a path to the original, but the folder they are in has nothing to do with where they came from.

Width and height changes when exporting

When I export a vector design from Illustrator to raster (.jpg in this case), I am given the opportunity to select the "Use Artboards" feature. Once clicked, I assume my dimensions will not change. Here are my selected options:
"Use artboards" option is selected
Image quality: 10
Format method: Baseline (Standard)
Resolution: Depth: Screen
Custom: 72 DPI (grayed out)
However, when importing the .jpg file into Photoshop, the "Image Size" information reveals that one (1) pixel is added to the height and width.
Why does this occur? How can I be sure Illustrator's artboard size will remain the same when exporting?

Are you using "crooked" sizes? In that case sometimes the dimensions get adjusted to accomodated the compression algorithm, which is course based on blocks of a given size. also make sure to explicitly setup everything with units set to pixels. Rasterization of stuff based on other units can lead to inconsistent results. Also always define your artboards and slices at 100% zoom. You may accidentally create slightly too large stuff where the actual dimensions do not coincide with full pixels at other resolutions.

Gradient and text, changes when copied

Hi, this is a CS3 document, exported in IDML for CS4.
The price has no transparency, no other effects.
When copied, the value stays the same but the visual changes. Any ideas?
This thing happen in CS5 also but not in CS3.
Thanks
EDIT: if i change the first to -89 and then to -90, doesn't work. If i copy the third (that is now visually correct), the gradient stay normal.

It looks like InDesign has repositioned the gradient within the text. Think of a gradient without the text masking it, as a rectangle that fades from yellow to green. With the Gradient tool you can click and drag to define the angle and size of that rectangle. The text then masks the rectangle so only the part within the text shows. I think InDesign did not reposition the text and the gradient properly when you pasted. You can highlight the text, then switch to the Gradient tool and drag to reposition the gradient. Unfortunately there is no way to make this part of a character style or paragraph style.

Why does order of apps and folders change when downloading new apps?

Since I've downloaded iOS 6 on my iPhone 4s, whenever I download a new app, it goes at the beginning of page 2 on my desktop which of course changes the order of all the apps and folders. It didn't do this with iOS 5. It is a real pain. Is there some way to change it back to the way it used to be on iOS 5?
Thank you.

I think that I did that. I checked the arrow to point up on the numerical listing of the tracks. When I "burn" the CD, it shows them being written in order, but when the entire thing is completed and I go to the actual CD, they are all out of order.

Why does my external monitor name and resolution change when I close the lid?

When I close my lid on my early 2001 MBP, the external monitor reverts to a lower resolution. I am not even able to select the proper resolution.
I am using VGA (I need VGA for my KVM). When the lid is open, the monitor sees the correct monitor, and I can set the correct resolution. When the lid closes, it only shows a genertic VGA monitor and defaults to a lower resolution. I am not able to change the resolution up when I have the lid closed as well. Does anyone have any insight into this?

Color and size changed when upgraded to photoshop CS5

Hi, I created a flyer in an older version of photoshop and when I upgraded to CS5 the colors and print size changed. This is particularly distirbing b/c this is a flyer/advertisment for work that was almost at the final stage. They are quite small changes, but changes that need to be corrected just the same. The colors look different (duller) on the screen and in print while the size became smaller when I print (to pdf and the printer). My print settings are the same as before as are my color settings (CMYK). I am fairly new at creating flyers in photoshop, so I am hoping this is a simple fix. Thanks.

Are you 100% certain you are using the same color profiles throughout? That print size issue might be specific to your printer driver... CS5 has a completely rewritten print handling which may not correctly cooperate with your printer driver or conversely the driver might need to be updated...

Sfari (and Firefox) freeze when I play Flash content (YouTube/Myspace

My MacPro has problems playing video and audio on sites such as MySpace and YouTube. I get the spinning wheel and I have to Force Quit.
I've tried reinstalling the latest FlashPlayer plugin but that hasn't changed things.
My older, non-Intel, Powerbook can play videos from these sites perfectly, so there can't be a network problem surely.
Can anyone suggest anything?
I read somewhere that an older version of the player might work better than the latest version - is that true (sounds odd to me but I'm willing to try anything)?

Hello Hawaian Starman.
This morning I created a second user account and tried the same websites as on my Admin account.
It worked better for a few visits, which raised my spirits. But then the spinning wheel returned.
One thing I notice on the second account, is that I'm not asked to enter a password for Keychain in Safari. Relevant to anything?
I tried pasting the crash report here but I get an error 500 - data too long in 'body'.
