Slowing text scroll without changing background clip length?

I have an intro to my movie that uses a sound clip from a song. The sound clip is 30 seconds long, so my video clip must be 30 sec long (the sound actually carries over into my next clip). I am using the text scroll to flash the title and a quotation onto the screen, but I want it to move at about half the speed it currently is.
I have tried slow motion but that doesn't work. I have also added lots of spaces between lines but it still moves faster than I want. So is there anyway we can slow that text scroll down to a reasonable speed?
Thanks in advance
Pat

drag the ends of the Title to the length of the clip.
If this is still too fast, remember 6th grade:
speed = length + time
if there's not enough time, it can not get any slower

Compressor quality changes with clip length

Hello,
Im on a max OSX 10.6.5, compressor 3.5.3, FCP 7.0.3.
I am taking footage off the SONY XDCAM, running it through the XDCAM Transfer software and having it wrapped in quicktime so i can edit in FCP. The project was filmed in HD 1280x720, XDCAM HD422, 720p60(50 mb/s).
The destination is SD DVD.
Problem- Since going from HD to SD can be a bit tricky, I made a half dozen sample compression clips. I found that the compressor DVD 90min Best quality preset with a slight bitrate change to look the best. When I compress the 3 minute clip, it looks really great. But when I compress the entire sequence (only 83 minutes.. well within the 90 minute preset) it looks like garbage. The difference is night and day. What is the issue? suggestions?
Thanks,
Brian

Sorry for the slow reply, I hit the road for a while shortly after posting...but I'm back.
Also, I'm embarrassed to say that the problem turned out to be the nut holding the tool (in other words, user error). It doesn't matter how carefully one changes the clip length if you somehow forget that clicking on the clip then selecting "pasteover at playhead" does not paste the selected clip but pastes whatever is in memory. As I'm sure you can guess, the clip copied earlier was 3:12 in length.
Sheesh.
Sorry for the false alarm, and thanks to both of you for the help.

Qt4 updated to 4.8.7: Slow text scrolling and higher load time.

System is fully upgraded, and i just noticed that every qt4 application has become incredibly slow when using QT_GRAPHICSSYSTEM=native (slow dolphin scrolling, slow konsole scrolling)
It is probably related to text antialiasing, because if i disable subpixel hinting in konsole, it start to scroll fast.
Reverting back to 4.8.6 fixes it.
I want to use native instead of raster because:
1) when used remotely via x2go and ssh, qt apps are very fast using QT_GRAPHICSSYSTEM=native
2) with QT_GRAPHICSSYSTEM=native one is able to retain RGB subpixel hinting even over trasparent windows.
I'm using nvidia-340xx 340.76 with a geforce 9800GT and freetype2-infinality 2.4.12-2 if it matters.
Anybody can help please?
-EDIT
This does not seem to be related to an update of the xorg-server, nor to the graphic driver; i notice the same behaviour when using a remote (fast) vnc connection.
I bet it is a QT4 bug; someone could test please?

It is not just the text scrolling under native graphicssystem to be slow.
All qt4 apps with text edit widgets are now slower to open, even with raster graphicssystem.
Gambas3 ide takes 6 seconds to start; on 4.8.6 it starts in 2 seconds here.
Just reported both:

Menu problems - changing background video length to fit audio

Hi,
I've been struggling for hours (feels like weeks!) trying to adjust the background video length to match the audio length on my encore menu to prevent the white screen appearing once the background video has finished.
Having read through some previous questions on here I see the general advice is to adjust the audio length to match the video length but is there really no way of doing it the other way around?
I tried editing the background video in premier pro, and managed to do that effectively so it was identical in length to the audio track, however then I couldn't work out how to export it back into encore so it would use it as a menu.
I'm still getting to grips with all the software so any help would be greatly appreciated!
Thank you!!
Liz

Hi jsbman,
Thanks for your reply, I'm not sure I was totally clear about what I am trying to do. Basically I have a menu image with background video that currently runs on a loop of 16 seconds, and I have an audio file (song) that lasts 3 minutes and also loops. I can put the audio on the menu fine as long as I have menu with no background video but if I try and have both it runs but then goes to a white menu screen after the 16 second loop while the audio continues to the end.
I understand from what I have read that the audio track and video background need to be the same length (I guess so they can loop together or something) and to edit the audio track down to 16 seconds makes it pretty pointless in using. This is why I have been trying to increase the background video to the same length as the audio track. They will then both loop until play is pressed on the remote for the DVD to start.
I forgot to say in my original post I am using CS4, with Windows 7 - I'm not sure if that makes a difference.
Any ideas welcome!
Thanks
Liz

How to remove text without changing background

Hey there,
I'm having an issue. I need to remove the text saying "A Innland", but the background isn't quite the same at all points - the further right you go, the lighter it becomes. How would I go on about removing this?
The text is ingrained in the picture, it's originally not a photoshop file with a text layer on top.
I am using Photoshop CS6.
Thank you in advance!

Here's another way.
Press M for Rectangular Marquee Tool and select a strip of gradient above "INNLAND".
Press Cmd+T for Free Transform and stretch downwards to cover the type.
Do the same procedure to cover the "A".

Cant change color on visited sites without changing background /foreground colors that hide options on the sitec

I want to change the color of visited sites, but am forced to set background and foreground colors which don't properly
show all of the colors for controls etc on many websites.
I have to uncheck the button to Allow pages to choose their own colors....
Google is a good example after doing a search, then change visited sites color, uncheck the allow pages button and then you can't see the search button and most of the options in the top right corner in google.
I am a little color blind, so can't differentiate blue and purple for links on visited sites...
thx

I think the problem is that many sites use background colors to create buttons, so you lose that when you override the page's colors.
Maybe you could use an add-on to fine-tune colors instead of Firefox's all-or-nothing setting. I found a couple extensions that say they can change page colors, but I haven't tried them myself:
* [https://addons.mozilla.org/firefox/addon/color-that-site/ Color That Site!]
* [https://addons.mozilla.org/firefox/addon/colorific-1/ Colorific]
* [https://addons.mozilla.org/firefox/addon/toggledocumentcolors-198916/ ToggleDocumentColors_]
* [https://addons.mozilla.org/firefox/addon/color-toggle/ Color toggle]
For a truly custom approach to link colors, there are two general purpose ways to apply your own style rules to specific sites: the Stylish extension and a userContent.css files. You would need to set a preferred text ''and'' background color for visited and unvisited links so that you are guaranteed to be able to read the text.
Hope one of these fits the bill!

Indesign CS6 text drop shadow changes background colour

I have two layers, one for a background image linked to a photoshop document and another layer for text. When i add drop shadow to the text, the background colour goes sort of dark, and the same happens in overprint view whereas with 5.5 it didn't do that. Is there a way to fix this?

Looks like maybe an RGB image with a CMYK transparency blend space applied.

Clip lengths

I've been using IMovie to make some time laspe films. When i've been importing the photos (around 300 at a time) i've been trying to set the clip of each photo to be 0:03 of a second. The first photo imported will be 0:03 seconds long and then all the others end up being 9:29 seconds long. So far i've been manually changing each photo from 9:29 to 0:03 seconds - this ***** when you have to do it 299 times. Does anybody know if there is a way if you can select all the photos and change the clip length once you have the pictures in the clip viewer?

Hi Schoonerman - yes, sure you can. Simply select them all (Select the first, then Shift-Click the last in the sequence, or go Command-A if you want the entire movie selected), then go to the Photos pane, make the duration adjustment with the slider, then hit the Update button.

Add length to animated background clip--how does one do that?

Howdy there,
I am kind of new with Final Cut Pro and Final Cut Express...I just purchased some animated clips off a website to use as a background for a foreground clip after getting the chroma key worked out with the green screen thing. What i am struggling with is to add length to the animated background clips. I can easily do that with still image where i can just change the time length but with a video, i.e. a .mov file used in the V1 track to go with a video in the V2 track it would not let me do that. The animated background clips that i have are something like 30 seconds long and i want to make them to be as long as i want them to be.
By the way, on my MacBook it is Final Cut Express, so i don't know if that makes a difference in having such capacity.
Any tips will be greatly appreciated!

You could change the speed of the animated clip. But if you want a longer clip without a speed change, you'll have to either buy the length you need, use a loopable clip, or make your own.

Transitions w/o clip length change?

I think I recall seeing in a post on this forum instruction on how to add transitions, or at least some transitions without changing the affected clip duration.
But, of course, I've forgotton.
Comments and suggestions appreciated.
C

When you add a transition it does not alter the length of the clip (or the length of the video) but some of the clip may be partially obscured by the transition.

Welcome to the Apple Community.
You could simply set each device to only use a single telephone number (settings > messages > send & receive, but this isn't really an ideal solution since the other person can always change their settings and see your messages and send messages that appear as if they are from you. There is only one real solution and that's to have your own accounts.

IMac 20" was running very slow (could not even scroll without the spinning beach ball of death), The computer was operating on OSX 10.5. After a lot of attempts of diagnostic attempts, have resorted to an erase and reinstall. says it will take 60 hours!

Working on my friends iMac 20" computer. It is 2.66 ghz, and was running 4mb of ram when the computer started acting up on OSX 10.5.
When I was called over the computer was so slow that I could not even scroll without getting the beach ball of death. I checked the activities moniter, and found an HP application was taking up 46% of the CPU. We attempted to go in and uninstall all of the HP applications, but the computer ended up freezing. Ended up doing a hard shut down, and decided to run disk utilities. Repaired both Permissions, and Disk. Restarted... no difference. Thought of restoring the computer to when it was working fine via Time machine in disk utility mode... failed. Finally resorted to deleting the hard drive, reinstalling Tiger, and upgrading.
After what seemed like forever for the hard drive to erease, attempted to reinstall. Ended up taking almost an hour to verify the disk, and then announced, that it would take 58+ hours to install. After leaving it for 3 hours, the number was going up, and was not installing.
I then thought the problem would be the 2nd party ram. We replaced the paired 2mb's to give 4mb's with the origional paired 1mb's providing now 2 mb's. Attempted to reinstall osx. Same problem 60+ hours after 3 hours of letting it sit.
What to do now? Is it the logic board? Could it be a faulty hard drive? Should I attempt in firewire more from another computer? Do a 7 pass erase over the hard drive? Run Disk warrior?
If anyone could give some info on why this is so blessedly slow that would be great thanks!

Decided to try and chek out the hard drive more extensively. SMART, states that it is verified. After running Diskwarrior and repairing all of the disk and the permissions, and running a hardware test, everything seemed to be running fine.
Went back to disk utilities, checked disk and permissions again, verified. SMART states it is verified.
Attemping now to install Mac OSX 10.4.7 from the original install disk. I am currently attemting the basic install, no programs, nothing. It has been over an hour, It is 44% of installing the base system Part 1, announcing 5 hours and 53 minutes.
When I did erase the hard drive yes I selected to write over zeros once. I then erased a second time from Diskwarrior.
