Save current frame causes a crash

every time i try to save a frame as a jpeg or png... fcpx just crashes and closes. i was able to do it prior to the most recent upgrade i did.

i'm not in front of the machine right now...
but basically, i've done it successfully before... it's only since the recent upgrade that i've been having issues.
as soon as i hit "share... save current frame", final cut crashes... it doesn't even get to the point where it asks me what format or location i'd like to save it in...
maybe a problem with the part of the program that generates the image?
i thought about deleting fcpx and reloading it, but i'm afraid i'll lose my project and timelines...

Receive Error Window when Trying to Save "Current Frame" FCP X

Anyone have a similiar experience with this error window message when trying to use the Save Current Frame feature? (Which used to be way easier in FCP 7)

KK-
Solution for now is as follows for anyone else who stumbles upon this bug.
For .mp4 files, create optimized media before trying "save current frame"
Drop all files into a main timeline to create/use "save current frame" feature- don't try and use it by selecting clips from the browser and entering the "open in timeline" option from the right-click drop down.
Again, tested on two separate machines (mid-2010 Mac Pro and early 2008 Mac Pro, both with Lion and Compressor)
Cheers,
Dustin

Save Current Frame produces blurry stills, but didn't before

10.10.1 - final cut pro 10.1.2 - File > Share > "Save Current Frame" produces blurry stills now, jpg and psd. the source is not blurry (as i look at the frames in the Project window). i've done this for years on FCP and got acceptable results. any tips if i accidentally changed some preference. my source are imported old MiniDV tapes stored in default FCP library.
thanks for any info!

this NEVER would have been solved if TW didn't solve it LOL! THANK YOU! in 1999 i was a windoz user and i wanted to make some movies. windoz required me buying special "media disks", special software, extra powerful mother board... and a friend in the media business said, "get the new imac dv with imovie 1". for the next 5 years i made incredible movies using the sony mini dv tapes and mac. people thought i was a professional but the simplicity of the imac dv was the genius (and it's creators). i started using fcp a few years back always made frame stills, i've never had a problem and never heard of "interlacing" until tom's post above. i don't think i just set this as a default? and i don't know why anyone would want interlacing if it makes your still frames/movies blurry LOL! i can read up on it later.
here is a youtube showing how to turn it off. THANKS again Tom!!!!

Save As PDF causing browsers crash

I've used Safari, Firefox (1.0.7 and 1.5), Internet Explorer, and Mozilla and every time I select "save as PDF" a webpage in the Print feature, it resulted in a browser crash. Every time.
Have Apple addressed this persistently annoying bug already?
Thanks.

Is there anything helpful in the Console's crash logs? Are you able to print to a printer from any of these browsers? Please provide as much detail as possible.

Can anybody tell me where the export current frame option is in the new final cut update? It used to be under the share menu but that menu has now been removed.

When I click File> Share> There is no save current frame option. Also Cmd E isn't working either.

Will only give print option of "current frame" for a six page PDF document opened from link in Safari.

I'm new to Mac having just moved from a PC. The TD Ameritrade site provides statements as PDF documents which are opened by clicking on a link. The document is displayed in a pop-up window and there is no problem viewing all pages by scrolling. But there is no PDF toolbar and Safari will only allow me the option of printing the "current frame", not the entire document or several pages. What am I missing? Does the Mac not actually bring it up as a PDF?

Hold down the OPTION key and click on the link. That will cause the document to download to wherever you set DLs to go. Then, open it in Preview and print everything.

KB3038314 causing IE crash

hey all,
hopefully i have the right forum for this question.
the IE cumulative update for the past few months has been causing IE to crash on one of our internal websites.
the March update (3032359) has a documented issue with table-based websites (which our internal site is); this issue isn't documented for the April update (3038314), however it's still crashing IE on this website.
if i understand the cumulative updates correctly, they're a roll up of individual IE updates. from what i can see, there's no way to uninstall these updates one by one.
my current theory is there's an offending update within the cumulative that's causing the crashing issue, but not sure how to isolate the offending update.
make sense? any help is appreciated.
thanks!

Hi Matt,
>>if i understand the cumulative updates correctly, they're a roll up of individual IE updates. from what i can see, there's no way to uninstall these updates one by one.
Yes, your understanding is correct. Please try to remove this update.
If this issue is very urgent, you may contact Microsoft Customer Service and Support (CSS) via telephone so that a dedicated Support Professional can assist with your request.
To obtain the phone numbers for specific technology request please take a look at the web site listed below:
http://support.microsoft.com/default.aspx?scid=fh;EN-US;OfferProPhone#faq607
Hope the issue will be resolved soon.
Steven Lee Please remember to mark the replies as answers if they help and unmark them if they provide no help. If you have feedback for TechNet Support, contact [email protected]
thanks for the response; is there a way to uninstall individual updates that are included in the cumulative?
it's likely that one of these updates is causing our issue, and until we determine the offending update, we'll likely continue to encounter this issue going forward with the cumulative updates.
i can contact Microsoft support, but if there's a way for me to uninstall each update manually, i can easily take the time to troubleshoot this on my own.
any ideas?
thanks!

When exporting a slideshow, what does "current frame rate" mean?

I'm exporting a slideshow from iPhoto '11 and I'm using custom settings
I am wondering when you click the custom settings button
what does "current frame rate" mean?
does it mean use the current frame rate that it uses to let me preview the slideshow?

Welcome to the Apple Discussions. What happens to the slideshow other than giving you this error. Don't know what it means. However, several users have reported iPhoto crashing when trying to export a slideshow. You might search this forum for that to see if you're experiencing something similar. As far as I know there was no fix found.
Be sure to report it to Apple via via http://www.apple.com/feedback/iphoto.html.

OVM 3 Generic Storage Plugin. Acess Group configuration causes server crash

Our iSCSI management is currently entirely done manually at the servers console, because we still don't have a SAN Equallogic storage plugin.
At OVM Manager interface, what we thought being just useless in our case (SAN Access Group), is the actual iSCSI connection (and disconnection..) management for servers.
Following the upgrade to 3.2.1, setting up the SAN did nothing more than what we do manually. But undoing part of it caused the crash.
All over OVM Manager, any operation/setup that could impact running VMs is denied... Except there, at the real root of everything.
Removing a iSCSI initiator from that panel disconnects abruptly the iSCSI disk, !!!! without warning !!!!.
Then, after the 60s timetout, the physical server reboots.
It is still not clear if we get a benefice to setup that "Access Group" of the SAN or not. At least, once setup, we know that we'd better keep it...

Saving current frame in flash

Hi everyone,
Any help would be really appreciated. I'm a web developer,
normally in php, and I'm making a flash based app that allows
people to upload a photo of themself, print, email and save it. I
can do print with no issues, but saving files is really being a
sticking point. I want them to be able to save the current frame as
a jpeg or bmp.
Does anyone know anything about this? If it's even possible?
Thanks a lot in advance
Paul

Thanks.
Essentially, what I'm trying to do is record which object the user clicks, where he drops it (within the grid), how long it takes, etc. Currently, I'm just using the "trace" command alongwith the flash debugger to write it to a text file. However, using the debugger is not really conducive in the long run. Ideally, I'd just like to write the data to a text file in the form of name variable pairs that could be read by statistical packages like Excel or SPSS.
I've created the interactive grid but am stuck on the data part. I don't really need the application to re-read the data once the user finishes, so using "shared objects" may not be ideal.
Any suggestions?

After Effects Unable to Allocate Enough Memory to Render Current Frame/ MeshWarp problem.

Hello,
I am currently working with 17 layers in AE- CC 2014.1.1 (13.1.1) Most of the layers have multiple effects, including the "Mesh Warp,"- which happened to have been freezing my computer constantly. I finally had to change computers... First, I was unable to render these layers, because there is not enough memory space. So I went back to editing. After adding a couple of video layers, I went to play back, and got the above message: "After Effects Unable to Allocate Enough Memory to Render Current Frame"
I changed my "cache" folder to my external hard drive. I also upped the cache space from 23MB to 50MB. But I am still getting this error.
In terms of the Mesh warp: Once i brought the effect to the video file, and tried to move the grid, I got the rainbow spinny ball. It went away after a while. As soon as I clicked on ANYTHING- i got the wheel again. This continued until I "Forced Quit." I don't know what thats about...
This is the info for the Composition Settings/ computer I am working on. i am trying to give as much information as possible. This is for my Senior Thesis! Can anyone please help me ASAP?
Best,
Julia

What are these layers you're working with? What size? What format? What Codec? What color space?
What happens if you turn on Render Multiple Frames Simultaneously (reserving at least one core for other programs)?
Julia_SpecialEffects wrote:

I assume you mean GB, not MB...
What happens if you save to version 12 and try to work on it there? (If you don't have an older version installed, try it: Creative Cloud Help | Install, update, or uninstall apps)
Have you tried rebooting your machine recently? Do other programs/apps//software run normally?

When i pause a video in FCPX the current frame becomes clear but when i press play they become blurry?

When i pause a video in FCPX the current frame becomes clear but when i press play they become blurry?

I had this SAME EXACT problem for WEEKS! >_<
It was so frustrating. I tried everything I could. I was even using uncompressed video files (+60GB in size!) to try to fix the problem, but nope. Nothing. Except this...
Go to:
Preferences -> Playback -> Playback Quality and select "High Quality"
By default, FCPX uses the lower quality setting to save resources.
"...Playback Quality pop-up menu to choose whether to always use the highest-quality video for playback or downsized video for better playback performance"

Unable to save current orgchart

Hi,
We are using OrgChart 3.0 SP1
I get the following warning when I try to save current orgchart and there aren't any other previously saved items.
"You have exceeded the maximum number of saved items for your user profile. Remove a previously saved item before saving a new one."
Is this because we're using "Store user preferences in cookie" as the user preference storage option and the maximum size for cookies is 4KB?
Is there a way to change the maximum size for cookies? We're not able to save any of the orgcharts when they're expanded.
Thanks!

The 4Kb limitation is a browser one, not a Nakisa one.
(link: [http://stackoverflow.com/questions/640938/what-is-the-maximum-size-of-a-web-browsers-cookies-key])
Ideally, you should look to store user preferences in a DB but of course this requires some tablespace (somewhere). Using a DB offers advantages on size and also means preferences are available wherever you log in (as opposed to cookie which is stored on a local PC). Also if you are in a Citrix env then cookies don't "travel" with you between Citrix app servers which causes the user to get strange behaviour.

Contacts cause a crash

I'm a new iPhone 4 user, had it for almost a week. I noticed early on that when I tapped on a certain contact, either in Address Book or Contacts (in Phone) that it wouldn't open and would just crash the app. I have my contacts synced through MobileMe. The only way I could get around it was by backing up the contact on my computer then deleting it, syncing, then re-adding it and syncing again. The problem would go away.
A day or two later, another contact was causing the crash. I did the above fix again.
Today I ran the iOS 4.1 update hoping for a fix.
Just now I went one by one through my contact list on the phone and 12 contacts out of 78 caused a crash. What could be causing this? It is getting quite annoying!
Strangely, all but ONE of all the contacts that have this problem are family members.

That is interesting, because I've also put my location as US Virgin Islands for the same reason you mentioned. However, I currently have a few contacts with postal codes that don't crash the address book. And all I have to do to make the address book crash is edit a contact at click the plus to add a new street address. None of my Gmail contacts ever had postal codes as well, just street names and numbers (and they crashed).
I did a test... I switched my Region back to Canada, went into a few contacts and tried to add a street address. NO CRASH
I changed the Region back to US Virgin Islands, went back into the same contacts, tried to add a street address. CRASH
The same thing in my MobileMe and Gmail contacts, and only when I click to add a street address.
I'm going to put that in a bug report to Apple right now. Maybe you and anyone else who is getting this bug can too! www.apple.com/feedback
