Slides and flicker

A friend who is more experienced at final cut pro suggested that instead of using Fotomagico to turn a slideshow into a movie that I use the ability of final cut pro to integrate my slides into my movies. My first attempt went badly as there was a lot of flicker and bounce (jagginess) to the presentation and movement of the slides. My friend suggested that I de-interlace the slides and that helped. A lot of the flicker was gone in my second attempt but the bounce in the slides still exists. What happens is that a slide with no movement looks fine. If the slides moves horizontally without zoom, then that is all allright, but there is a little bounce in the slide. If the slide is zoomed in (or out), then slide has a lot of bounce to it. The problem is not noticeable in the canvas on the computer or the simulator in dvdsp, but where I am noticing these problems is when I play the finished dvd on my television. The problem is less pronounced on my non-HD TV.
I am running Leopard (latest update) with all the latest versions of the final cut suite. The photos are imports at the resolution they came from the camera. Fotomagico handles the photos to movie very well, but it would convenient to have it all handled in final cut pro, plus final cut pro should be able to handle this.
What am I missing? The de-interlace thing worked to some extent. What is the problem and how can it be fixed?

I am having this same problem with photos (zooming in and out).
Although it was mentioned earlier about different reasons for this, I haven't figured out a way to completely fix it.
If anyone knows, please pass on the information.
Thanks

  • Diable "open dialog box" on right mouse click so I can use l mouse to advance to next slide and r mouse click to "go back."  How in PP 2010 for mac????

    I do presentations in PP10.  I am new to macair, and used to Windows.  HOW DO I DISABLE THE "OPEN DIALOG BOX ON RIGHT CLICK"?  I would like to use L mouse to advance slide, and R mouse to go back.  The default is to use R mouse to open dialog box.  I can disable this by unchecking the box in "advanced" on the PC.  How do I do it with the Mac????

    Hi Rod,
    As originally stated in my opening post, the SWF is to be inserted into an Articulate '13 slide (what I called an aggregator originally - I tried not to bring them up since I don't want the chatter about "There's your problem - using Articulate"! ).
    Recall that posting this published file to our LMS did not allow right-mouse click functionality as the flash player menu just gets in the way.
    If I insert the captivate 6 files into Articulate as a Web Object (referencing the entire folder with html, htm and assets, and then posted to our LMS, and it DOES allow RM click operations in both IE and FF (although no sound on the Captivate slide in FF). But this is not what we want to do as this introduces 2 navigation controls (the Captivate one and the Articulate Player).
    Why must anything be posted to a web server for this functionality to work?
    I am able to go into the Captivate 6's published folder, and launch the Captivate demonstration by simply double clicking on the index.html file and this works great in both FF and IE after changing the security settings for flash.
    Again - I can not believe I am the only one out there trying to use the right-mouse click feature to do a software simulation by embedding the Captivate SWF into an Articulate '13 project.

    What is happening in the most recent keynote when I click on a slide and it pulses (larger-smaller)  Two of my slides have disappeared in the navigator although if I play through them they are there and the slides have their orignal number--there are just white spaces where the slide should be and I can only get to the slide by clicking through from the prior slide.  How do I get the sldies back into the navigator so I can see them.  Oddly, they are show up just find on the light table. 

    Try removing any transitions or builds on these slides, or delete the slides then recreate them as fresh slides.
    There are many playback anomalies in Keynote 6 which Apple have said they will be  sorting out next year.

  • How can I allow the user to pause the audio of a slide (and restart it) before continuing on to the

    Most of my slides have a combination of test/graphics and voiceover.  I would like to allow the user to pause, resume, and replay the audio of each slide.  I know, as a learner, I sometimes need to go back and hear something again -- or pause until a distraction has passed.
    How can I tie audio to a playbar or set of buttons?  I know if it's video, it can be done.  How do I give them control of the audio? 
    I am in Captivate 7.  My files are .mp3 files.
    Thanks - TL

    You cannot add extra buttons to the playbar but you could add a Replay button to the slide and have this button execute a Standard Advanced action with a Jump to Slide action that points to the same slide you are currently on.  This should effectively jump your user back to the beginning of the same slide.

  • Adding music to more than one slide and not the entire presentation

    I love the way Keynote looks and behaves, but it fails to compete with PPT on certain aspects, such as adding the same audio track to more than one slide and NOT have it play for the entire presentation. Using PPT (and I hate PCs!) you can have a track play for "n" number of slides. I'm frustrated that I cannot do this with Keynote! I don't want the track as a soundtrack for the entire presentation. I want to add another audio track to, say, the last two or three slides only and something else for all the other slides. I looked through the user manual, forums, etc. and found that I can only add a soundtrack to the entire thing or a different audio to only one slide.
    Question: What if I cut (that last two slides) and paste the the slides as a new Presentation with its own soundtrack, then reincorporate that back and paste it into the original presentation? Will that work or will the original soundtrack take over the entire presentation again?

    Anyone remember Claris Works for Mac back in the early 90s? Now, that was a gem! What were they thinking when they got rid of that one (and replaced it with AppleWorks!)?
    Good point, but one which Apple has heard a zillion times, and so sadly chosen to ignore. The really heartbroken among us remember AppleWorks from the mid-'80's, the world's first integrated suite, then ClarisWorks, then AppleWorks; and, of course, Beagle Bros. and BeagleWorks. But since we old f*s are dying off, those complaints will eventually stop. +Sic transit gloria mundi.+

    Besweet, I'm having the very same problem with 60GB colour which was bought new and worked for 6 months before suddenly just not being recognised by PC. I hadn't changed anything at all.
    I've followed all troubleshooting advice and reinstalled and updated iTunes and iPod updater software but all troubleshooting routes seem to hit the dead end of either the need to access the iPod via the PC (which isn't possible as it's not showing up at all) or the iPod in disc mode stuck at "ok to disconnect".
    It's still under 1yr warranty so will have to take to a dealer.
    I'm sorry that's not much help for you but at least you know it's not a unique problem.

  • Master slide and table default - Very confusing behavior

    This odd behavior cost me the last two hours, so I just wanted to check with you folks if you know a work-around.
    Been fiddeling with a new Theme I am building and I was just about to define the default look for a table. Generated a table in the master slides window, applied all formatting I want and I was just about to apply it as the default for this theme (or even this master slide) and POOF - as soon as Keynote finished the
    Format>Advanced>Define Image for Current Master
    the table reverted back to the look of a previous version. No matter how often I truied to re-create the intended look, it always came back in this half-baked form.
    Very irritating, this behavior and I am sure that there is a fix. Anybody any ideas?
    Best Regards,
    /Dirk

    Ok, so I built a new master theme - same effect. The background colors and text formatting for the body of the table would not hold.
    Then I placed a placeholder object into the master slide for the table, did all my formatting, applied it and voila - it carried over.
    Seems that the palceholder did the trick for me.
    Thanks for your support, brian

  • Still images exported to DVD look deinterlaced and flicker on TV monitor

    Hi,
    I have tried tried almost everything and I still have issues with the still images exported to DVD as sequencefrom FCP 7.0 by using Compressor are deinterlaced and flicker on TV monitor. Please help remove the annoying flicker.
    My FCP Timeline Sequence settings match the image resolution:
    Frame Size: 1024 x 682 (double of 720 x 480 standard DVD res)
    Pixel Aspect Ratio: Square
    Field Dominance: None
    Compressor: Photo JPG (also tried, DVCPRO-NTSC)
    I cropped the original images in Photoshop to the 1024 x 682 and saved as tiffs. They still look deinterlaced in FCP timeline and exported to DVD on my iMac computer monitor.
    Final output of DVD will be on this monitor:
    Specifications:
    Ikegami
    Model: VCM-2101
    Resolution: 450 TV Lines (Horizontal)
    Should I crop the images to 450 horizontal pixels or the double of that 900?
    How can I match the sequence or the images settings to avoid the flicker and deinterlaced look on that monitor? I am not able to test the image by having the monitor next to computer.
    Compressor:
    I used custom DVD settings in Compressor for 90 min best quality DVD. Tried the Porgressive and "Same as Source" in Output field.
    In "Crop to" and "Padding" I set for preserve source aspect ratio and letterbox area of source.
    I followed the advices from below and I still did not resolve the problem. Please is there anythign else I can try?
    Thanks a lot..
    Re: Poor Quality Stills
    Dec 19, 2006 4:08 PM (in response to Steve Braker)
    Things to try (In increasing order of image degradation)
    - (in FCP) field order>none
    - (in FCP or Photoshop) reduce whites by 10% - reduces overly bright areas
    - (in FCP) flicker filter - minimum
    - (in Photoshop) motion blur>vertical> .2 - .5 pixels - blurs vertically only
    - (In FCP or Photoshop) Gaussian blur> .2 - .5 pixels -blurs both horizontally as well as vertically
    - (in FCP or Photoshop) deinterlace - throws away half the image and is generally not appropriate on scanned images

    Dear Russ,
    Thank you very much. Yes, there is something else in the sequence, old documentary, 768 x 570 (no field dominance, 25fps, Apple ProRes 422) but the images are more imporant.
    make a progressive sequence with  square pixels. (I am partial to 720P, 1080 should work – or 540). Choose Pro Res 422
    Do you mean that I should make a sequence in FCP with these settings? If yes, how can I set a "progressive" sequence? I dont see a setting for output field in FCP sequence settings, lnly in customizing Compressor output DVD format.
    Also: "720P, 1080 should work – or 540" are you talking about Frame size? If so, to set in Compressor or in FCP?
    If you have interlaced material, then de-interlace before you bring it in. If you don't have interlaced clips, don't de-interlace.
    The images are not interlaced after  I crop them, apply motion blur filter in Photoshop but look interlaced in FCP timeline after I import them and even to the same as photos sequence in FCP timeline.
    Please help and thank you for your comments.

  • I have dead time after a transition on one of my slides and I can not get rid of it

    I have a transition between slides and then once the transition occurs, there is dead blank space for 5 seconds and then the next slide comes in.  I have tried everything to get rid of the dead space but I can not seem to resolve the issue.  Anyone have any thoughts?
    Thanks,
    C

    All of my transitions occur in the build inspector.  None of them have been incorporated in to the slide inspector.  My text moves in at a duration of 1.5 sec and then moves out at the same duration.  And that is it.  No delay on builds on the next slide.  All of the slides are set up the same way.  And I am working off of two monitors and there is a space that shows the next slide and it is completely blank, but I don't have a blank slide in the presentation.  Thanks for any help you might have.

    It does already do this... unless you use manual updating. Under auto updating, tracks played on your iPod should up the count in iTunes on your next sync.

  • Can I create a presentation in iPhoto that will combine still slides and video?

    I have just returned from a safari and have a lot of pictures and videos from the trip.  I would like to create a presentation/slide show that will show the slides and also videos in the same slide show and allow me to manually pace the show.  I know how to do this in PowerPoint but would rather use a more natice mac ap and thought it might be possible in iMovie or iPhoto but am not sure exactly what the best way to do this would be.

    If you want a native Mac application for your slideshow you could also try Keynote, the Apple alternative to Powerpoint. It will give you similar presentation options.
    Aperture - if you have it - would allow to trim the videos, allow more fine control over how the audio of the clips will be mixed, and still allow to manually pace the slideshow, but it is expensive and will no longer be developed. But if you have compatible versions of Aperture and iPhoto, simple open your iPhoto Library in Aperture: Aperture 3.3: Using a unified photo library with iPhoto and Aperture
