Some of my still photos move up and go out of focus

I am making a slideshow and some of my photos move up a little and slightly go out of focus one frame after the in video transition effect. They remain out of focus until the next transition and then they move back down and go into focus one frame before the out transition. I am using the Fade in Fade Out Dissolve effect. The photos are in focus during the video transition effect. They are acting as if I have a double image. This is not happening to all the photos. Any suggestions on how to correct this and how to prevent this from happening?

My photos come from images in IPhoto. They are clear photos and work well in a IPhoto slideshow. They appear to jump up and out of focus just after the dissolve transition then they jump back down and into focus during the exit dissolve transition to the next photo.

Imovie 9.0.9 will not show some of the still photos in project

when working on a imovie 9.0.9 project, some of my still photos from iphoto are not showing up in the project. I can drag the photo over and it appears in the project window but when I play the project some photos do not appear.

I have the same probelm with OSX 10.8.5 and the latest iMovie 9.0.9. iMovie will see most of the pics in the window but, infuriatingly, not some of the others - taken by the same camera on the day day!
The ones it can see, I can drag to the project window - get the green line, add or insert as appropriate and some will show when I play the new segment, and some won't. Some show in the project time line, but don't show up in the viewer when the line passes over them.
I have tried finalising, closing and opening both iMovie and iPhoto, deleting the pics in iPhoto and re importing them. I have been working on this for almost TWO DAYS and it's infuriating because nothing seems to be effective in fixing it, and there is no predicting as to which pics will "stick" and which one's won't.

My past computer crashed and I am trying to get all my itunes songs back for my new computer, but even though I have downloaded all my past purchases some of them still aren't playing and can't be located. What can I do?

My past computer crashed and I am trying to get all my itunes songs back for my new computer, but even though I have downloaded all my past purchases some of them still aren't playing and can't be located. What can I do? It is quite alot of lost songs/ money.....
Thanks anyone who can help, Apple make it impossible to talk to anyone or contact and I can't navigate Express Lane

I realise there have been a number of threads like this now that I have started looking, the problem is the back-ups i made were saved to a server network which has now also gone down, a case of dreadful luck really. Is there any other way to get the music back?

Photo Prints Yellow and washed out

I am having problems printing photos on photo paper. I have windows 7 64 bit and all my hp software and drivers are up to date. My printer is c5180 and I have not had any trouble in the past. I upgraded to windows 7 in Dec., and have had several printing issues since then. By the way, I really loved the photo premiere software that came with my printer, but is no available with windows 7. I have tried printing from several programs including picasa, and the windows photo viewer, which I also don't like as much as windows xp. I have tried several different settings, including the default everthing on automatic, messed with the color setting in the printer settup, and tried printing on 8.5 x 11 as well as my 4 x 6 photo paper. If I print on regular white paper the colors are just fine, it is only when I use photo paper. My photo paper is HP Premium Photo paper. I have attached scans of two photos and you can see the one on photo paper is yellow and washed out whereas the one on plain paper has good coloring. Do I need to change anything in color profiles?
I have no idea how to get my pictures to display. They are on picasa web albums and I also tried to just drag them in.

Did anyone ever solve this problem? I have the exact situation with my C5180 and I am about replace it.

Why are my book preview photos over exposed and washed out requiring a revert to original to fix

After I create the book and preview it before purchasing a large number of the photos are severely washed out or over exposed leaving only purple and yellow colors.
I tried purchasing the book but a few days later an email came back:
Due to an error when your order was submitted, your image file is unreadable or unprintable.
To fix the corrupted images I have to go through every bad photo (looking at the preview of the book to tell which are "bad") and lift adjustments, revert the photo to original and then stamp the adjustments back onto the photo.
The photos look normal while editing the book and laying out photos.
The generation of the preview takes up to 18 hours for 250 photos sometimes.
I am now on my third book where this has happened.
Thanks

There have been a few similar problems reported, but I have not seen any easy fix so far.
What kind of image files are you using? RAW files? Images taken with an iOS device?
If the images have iOS adjustments, the images may need reprocessing, alos, if there has been a RAW support update the originals may need reprocessing.

Still Photos in FCP and DPI

if im purchasing stock photos (still) from say istockphoto does DPI even matter in video editing? If the resolution is high enough, which is suppose if im going to a 4:3 output then their "small" size 850x565px 11.8 x 7.8 @ 72DPI would be good enough right? or wrong? ive been buying the higher sized images 1700x 1129 300DPI then resizing them in photoshop. Im just wasting money paying more money for the 300DPI aren't I? I obviously don't understand DPI very well.
Thanks

Yeah, so long as you don't need to print anything, no need to sweat the 300 dpi stuff.
In fact, for video projects, dpi is completely irrelevant - you could make due with 1dpi stuff - as frame size is all that matters. So, if you're working on an SD project, 850x565 should be fine.
The larger sizes would matter, however, if this is an HD project (since you'll need the larger original frame size -rescaling a smaller image in Photoshop might produce unacceptable results).

HT201272 Dowloading past purchases from iTunes doesn't work in România and still no movies, maps and more..

If u buy something from iTunes like a song or 100 songs and u lose them, let's say u're phone was replaced by waranty. U can see that u purchased songs but u cannot redownload them, not in România i guess ..at least u can redownload apps

It has always been very basic to always maintain a backup copy of all of your content.
If you fail to do this, then it is your own fault that you lose your content.

Slight shift in stills after fade in and fade out? Ever seen this?

Howdy..
I'm editing on a MacPro, Quadr4000, CS5.5, OS 10.6.8.
Exporting a project as ProRes 720p MRQ.
I notice when dissolving in or out on a still, there is a slight shift in the graphic as it dissolves in (ie. during the cross dissolve) and after it's fully in (ie. after the cross dissolve has finished). This isn't apparent on the timeline or when I playback the video in Premiere, but is there after I export. It's just a slight, 1pixel movement of the graphic that is barely noticeable by annoying nonetheless..
Any ideas as to what could be causing this? Greatly appreciated!
Best,
Ben

I am starting to see something similar on my 24" 2.8Ghz Aluminum. Not as bad as you are seeing...but random artifacts. It is getting annoying, especially because my warranty just ran out.

Rented Movie Video and Sound out of sync

I love renting movies from ITunes , but there is this ongoing issue with video and sound syncronisation. I have Window 7 64bit with i7 processor and the latest version of Itunes. I have gone through the settings of altering the sound properties on Quicktime player and Windows to 16bit 44khz which had improved it alot.
But when watching a film half way through the sound appears to overtake the video. Would this be a setting on the latency currently set to 33.000ms and should increasing this cure the problem?
I'll try altering the settings on one more film , if that doesn't work then ITunes for me is history.

Does it behave the same way when you watch the video on your computer? What you observed is not that uncommon since some formats/recorders tend to loose sync between the video and audio.

New Finder bug in 10.7.2 - overwriting file w/authenticated move fails and zeroes out target file too

I have found a new bug in the Finder for Lion 10.7.2
In 10.7 and 10.7.1, if I downloaded a new version of an application, and wanted to drag it to /Applications or /Applications/Utilities, here is what happened:
1) Try to drag to one of these protected directories, in order to copy it over the old version.
2) Get a dialog box saying "The item XXX could not be moved because "Utilities" couldn't be modified." This dialog would have two choices: "Authenticate" or "Cancel"
3) Click "Authenticate"
4) Get another dialog: "An older item named XXX already exists in this location. Do you want to replace it with the newer one you're moving?" Choices would be "Keep Both Files" "Stop" and "Replace"
5) On clicking "Replace", the OS would ask for an admin password.
6) You would give it, and then the OS would copy the new file. Done.
Now, in Lion 10.7.2's Finder, after steps 1-5, there is a new dialog:
"This operation couldn't be completed because some files had to be skipped. For each item, chose File > Get Info, make sure "Locked" is deselected, and then check the Sharing and Permissions section. When you are sure the items are unlocked and not designated as Read Only or No Access, try again."
"OK is the only choice to exit this dialog.
AND
the target file is in fact overwritten with an empty file! So your folder now contains a nonfunctional app, while the new version can't be copied over it!
You can, in fact, go in and delete the zeroed-out app and drag the new copy into the folder. But authenticated overwriting appears dangerously broken.
(And what an error message! Sounds like someone from the Windows 2000 team thought that one up...")
I'm not a developer, but if any registered developers would care to replicate this and file it as a bug, I'd be very grateful.

Yup. Thomas, have you tried replicating this in the other direction? In Terminal you can make a folder, chown it to root, get the permissions to the same as those of /Applications/Utilities, then as a normal user, try dragging something
into that folder? I have - this is replicable.
This is a real bug - worked ok until 10.7.2, then broke.
I have worked around this bug by changing the permissions on my Applications and Applications/Utilities folders so that my account has write permission there without authentication. But that not ideal from a security standpoint.
If any developer out there could fire a Radar report off on this, I'd be much obliged.

Photo Booth audio and video out of sync

Hi everyone.
I tried recording a video three times today on Photobooth, and every time, the audio and video are out of sync. Does anyone have any solutions as to how I can fix this? Its ever since I downloaded Mountain Lion.
Thankyou.

HI, Jay Rhymes,
I'm having the same problem and took your advice.
Strangely, the first video I recorded in Photobooth after I changed the settings did sync audio and video.
But then I deleted that test and tried another, and it was a little off.
I deleted that test and tried a third time, and it was way off.
So if I close Photobooth and open it, the first video will apparently sync fine but subsequent ones won't.
Anyone else having this strange difficulty?

How can I fix my Firefox browser so that PDF files from the Internet do not blur and go out of focus?

When I try to open a PDF document from the Internet, it opens, with sharp resolution; however, within a few seconds, it blurs and seems to have multiple copies being shown on top of each other (ever so slightly mis-aligned). Yet, when I use any other browser, the document opens without losing sharpness.
Also, opening a saved PDF document in Adobe Reader does not cause any loss of sharpness.
Running updated Windows XP; Adobe Reader updated; and Firefox updated.

Firefox's built-in PDF viewer overlays a transparent layer of text over a graphical image so you can copy/paste. It doesn't always line up pixel-perfectly, so if the text is not transparent for some reason, you will see double text.
Could you try switching to the Adobe Acrobat plugin? This article has the steps: [[How to disable the built-in PDF viewer and use another viewer]]. Does that one work correctly?

My Firefox menus and tabs and text are all warped and slightly out of focus for lack of a better term. What kind of issue is this. I only have the default theme/persona Strata installed. It's quite annoying.

My tabs and text seem slightly corrupted. There's an apparent curviture to the corners and the tops bow. The text is affected but the font's don't appear to have been edited to different fonts. It looks like some photoshop corruption effect to be honest, but this just happens to firefox everytime I use it now. It comes up normal for a second then 'fades' into this corrupt looking version.

Start Firefox in [[Safe Mode]] to check if one of the extensions is causing the problem (switch to the DEFAULT theme: Firefox (Tools) > Add-ons > Appearance/Themes).
* Don't make any changes on the Safe mode start window.
* https://support.mozilla.com/kb/Safe+Mode
In Firefox 4 [http://kb.mozillazine.org/Safe_mode Safe mode] disables extensions and disables hardware acceleration. 
If disabling hardware acceleration works then check if there is an update available for your graphics display driver.
* Tools > Options > Advanced > General > Browsing: "Use hardware acceleration when available"
In Firefox 4 you can use one of these to start in [[Safe mode]]:
* Help > Restart with Add-ons Disabled
* Hold down the Shift key while double clicking the Firefox desktop shortcut (Windows)

Subject : Slideshow looks bad
Hello guys
I have a project in my Final Cut just about done. I want to add my slideshow as part ofthe project and burn it to DVD. Inmy slideshow, there are some stills from the movie clips and some downloadedfrom the internet but they all look blur when playback and even worse if Iapply Ken Burn to it. Pleasesome one can tell my how to do it right or it can’t be done because thedownload quality and stills from the clip are not suitable or slideshow. Thank you
PSC

Thank you Ross.
The entire DVD containing Quick Time movies (Final CutExpress project) and slideshow was done in iPhoto. The Final Cut project was rendered prior to export to QT, the slideshow was sent to iDVD withoutrendering. The slideshow with most of the pictures from my still camera incombination with stills from movie clips and some downloaded from the Internet.After burning, the movie playback is perfect but the slideshow is not. The slideshow containing 3 differentkinds of pictures; those from my still camera looks OK; the stills from themovie clips and from the Internet are not. I don’t have much knowledge in this game, but I think NTSCwith frame size 720x480, and the downloaded picture Item Property shows most ofthem are between 400 to 500 x 300 to 600, may be both of them are not suitablefor TV screen while the stills from my still camera looks OK because they are2048x1536. Please enlightenme. Once again, thank you so much,I really appreciate the time you offered.

After I did the update last week, I noticed all of my photos, movies, tv, and music were wiped off of my ATV. I thought sh*t, that *****, but maybe that was supposed to happen with the update right? So I connected the cord, resynced, and waited an hour to upload everuthing... now, 5 days later, all my media is gone again. Now I can totally resync with my itunes, AGAIN, but duuuuuuuudddde, why does every Applie update end up being a pain in the backside? Is anyeone else having this issue? Any advice outthere?
Why do all the apple gadgets work so great, until you need them to?
