Still and title transition problem

Premier Pro 1.5
Encore 1.5
1H 52Min finished SD video
All video content SD DV, same settings, same camera, same master tapes
All stills 480 max or 720 max with a black video layer below
All titles made in PP1.5
Many music tracks along  with native audio from the clips
Everything went great, all transitions, stills and titles look good in the timeline. All looks good in the single file avi export from PP1.5 as played with windows media.
As soon as I import the avi into Encore 1.5 to author the DVD, a few transitions between stills and/or titles get scrambled. It happens on about 3 random transitions out of maybe 50 - 100 of them. Sometimes a transition effect (fade) is involved, sometimes there is no effect. An example is 2 stills or titles adjacent to each other with the same duration. After the import to Encore the durations get hosed and the second still or title flashes for less than a second.
Any ideas? Other than this problem this long and involved video is flawless.
Thanks,
George

For anyone following along at home. George got his Project done, and reports on it in this THREAD in the PrPro forum.
Good luck to all,

  • Blurry Stills and Titles

    Hello everyone,
    I am new to the forum so go easy on me
    I have used Premiere in the past and just recently came back to it. I have Premiere CS 5.5. I just created a very simple sequence consisting of stills and a few titles that I created with the Title tool. The stills are hi res images, yet when I render out the project, they are no where near as clear as they should be.
    The Image sizes are 576x 874
    I am using the motion effect to move across some of the images.
    I am exporting to H.264 so that I can post it on our You Tube channel
    I have tried resizing in Photoshop and that didnt work. I have tried to de-interlace, that didnt work.
    I have exported the media out and played it back and it still looks blurry. I am viewing on a flat screen computer monitor.
    I know there have been countless posts about this, but I have tried what seems to have worked for the others and I have not been as successful.

    Once the Sequence has been set, it stays. Just create a New Sequence, per your desired attributes, and then Copy your Assets, pasting them into the New Sequence. For Titles, I would NOT Copy/Paste those, but create them anew. The new Titles will be created to match the New Sequence.
    If your Video Assets are not HD, up-rezzing those can be problematic.
    Good luck,

  • Export of stills and titles makes fades/dissolvers "stutter"

    Hello,
    I have edited a piece in HD including video footage, but mainly with still photographs and text through the Premiere Titler. When I try to export this to an avi-file all the parts with a) keyframe animations of still photographs have black strips in them and b) dissolve-to-black or fade-to-black seem to stutter so that the smooth transition i've got in the editing space doesn't come out. I'm pretty new to this type of editing so I would like some help on what my best standard settings for export to a video format in HD-resolution should be - I don't know much about half images, pixel sizes and compression rates, and I know it could be read up in manuals etc. - but I guess if someone can give me a standard set-up it could be much, much quicker.
    Thank you in advance,
    Niklas

    Have you tried exporting to something other than AVI, just to see if Encore
    does the same thing?
    Harm has much more experience than I do, he's probably right about the "AI" issue...

  • Transitions and titles going black when rendered

    For the last few months, I have been making some movies in iMovie HD, ranging from 2 min. to a bit over 20 min. long. Most of the content is iMovie08 slide shows imported to iMovie and interspersed with brief video clips taken with still cameras. Have done about two dozen at this point, with only one minor problem prior to the current one. (In that case, when I added subtitles they began to include several extra "trailer" sections, which wasn't a particular problem unless I had another subtitle following closely. Somehow, that resolved itself.)
    The current movie was coming along fine. I had successfully added a couple of cross dissolves in the beginning between sections of slide shows and movie clips, then went on to complete the rest of the movie (20 min.) before going back to add the rest of the transitions and some titles. When I tried to put in cross dissolves or overlaps, the preview was correct but when the transition rendered, it became a fade to black followed by a cut. (Have subsequently checked several of the other transitions which I would not likely ever use and they all transition to black as well.) When I tried to put in titles, they also previewed correctly, but rendered over black instead of over the image. Tried all the easy stuff like closing and reopening iMovie, rebooting, making a new copy of the project, clicking the "over black" box off and on a few times. No luck. The only think I did any different in this project from all the others is turn or edit contrast/saturation in two clips in iMovie08 before exporting them back to iMovie HD.
    I created a new user account and made a test movie and did not have the problem. Logging back in I deleted the cache and the plist files for imovie. After rebooting i can create a new project and the subtitle and transitions do not go black. The original project still has the problem. I even opened the project package and deleted the cache inside the project.
    Has anyone figured out any way to salvage a project that is holding on to damaged preferences?

    Did you try logging in on a new account and opening the problem iMovie file in the new account? I wasn't certain from your post whether you did that. Can other trouble free movies be created/played in the old account now that you deleted preferences?
    Also, did you do a permissions repair in additiion to deleting the .plist file? You didn't mention that in your list. You should do a permissions repair using the Disk Utility app on your Mac.
    Have you added any 3rd party or Quicktime plug-ins lately? These sometimes can cause conflicts. If you have any, you could try moving them to a different folder to temporarily disable them, and see if that solves it.
    Make sure that you have sufficient free disk space for iMovie to operate efficiently. 20GB to 25GB is oft recommended on this forum.
    Make sure that your Quicktime is updated to current version.
    Any new software installed lately that could be causing a conflict?
    If the problems are occurring solely in the currrent project, and the diagnostic efforts that you have made don't solve it, then you probably should start over. This is a relatively short movie, so the effort is fairly minimal. Can save a lot of time in the long run. You might be able to clear out all of your titles and transitions and transfer your clips into a new iMovie project with all of the editing still intact. Always make a backup copy of your movie, first.

  • Transition,and bleeding jpeg problems in fce 4

    3 problems..1st) 2 jpegs with motion(lets say a pan) the motion starts from fist frame,looks good,add ANY transition(say a cross disolve) the 2nd photo is still until the transition is done then the motion starts..this delay prevents a smooth flow. this didnt happen with sd fce previously...
    2nd problem.. when i have a photo over apart of video, a small part of color from video bleeds into photo..looks like crap..yes the photo is at 100 % level.
    3rd..my china photos looks steller floating across my tv using apple tv, but when i play the same photos whether its print to video or from dvd..photos are so so.

    *1st) 2 jpegs with motion(lets say a pan) the motion starts from fist frame,looks good,add ANY transition(say a cross disolve) the 2nd photo is still until the transition is done then the motion starts..this delay prevents a smooth flow. this didnt happen with sd fce previously...*
    Not sure I'm reading or following this right but, do you have say image "A" in V1 and image "B" in V2, with "B" slightly over "A" ?
    *2nd problem.. when i have a photo over apart of video, a small part of color from video bleeds into photo..looks like crap..yes the photo is at 100 % level.*
    Is this photo a gif or jpeg ? sounds like it's acting like a gif, tif file extensions work best and, is what I use with all my stills.
    *3rd..my china photos looks steller floating across my tv using apple tv, but when i play the same photos whether its print to video or from dvd..photos are so so.*
    What is the file extension of the photos at question ?

  • Still pictures and titles vibrate on my dvds

    Still pictures(photos and titles) edited with Final Cut vibrate on the dvds I burn with DVD Studio Pro. What can I do?

    How are you exportin g from FCP? You should use Uncompressed (8 bit/10-bit) whihc helps cure some quality issues. Some color combinations also seem to "vibrate" more and also smaller fonts can do that. In general larger fonts (20pt+) Sans serif work well if you can use them.
    If you have a bit more detail of the entire workflow you are doing, it mmay point to what the problem may be

  • I have a serious (and bizarre!) issue with my novation impulse (Although i've tried it with two other keyboards and i still have the same problem) and its compatibility with mainstage 3

    i have a serious (and bizarre!) issue with my novation impulse (Although i've tried it with two other keyboards and i still have the same problem) and its compatibility with mainstage 3.
    the problem is best explained on the following one - page thread: 
    https://discussions.apple.com/thread/3951518?start=0&tstart=0
    (Clearly i'm not alone in this problem, although i think i figured out what's going wrong a little more than he did...read on!)
    his solution, to put mainstage in jump mode, is very unsatisfactory to me, as it bounces all of a sudden to drastically different settings.
    basically, my analysis is that my controller is NOT receiving MIDI date from mainstage.  in other words, mainstage knows what my controller is doing, but my controller doens't know what mainstage is doing.
     let's say i turn the knob all the way to the right ... 127...and the virtual fader goes to the right like it's supposed to. 
    now...next...let's say i change to a different patch, where that same VIRTUAL fader is not at the max clockwise position..maybe it's only at 1pm.  now when i turn the physical knob to the RIGHT, the midi data is still at 127 on the controller!  it didn't "reset" to sync up with the new level (say 80 or so) setting on the new patch.  so i can't increase that new setting of 80 by continuing to turn the knob to the right.  i have to turn it all the way to zero,...and then continue PAST zero until the controller thinks that IT is at 0...at that point the controller and mainstage are in agreement, and things work fine....so bascially, the keyboard thinks the level is at max...but mainstage thinks the level is at 1pm.
    i am using Logic 9, and i have a macbook pro 2.9 Ghz I7 with 8 gigs of memory and OS X 10.8.4

  • Saving projects with Transitions and Titles - iMovie 3

    Every time I edit a movie in iMovie 3, add transitions and titles, and then save, the next time I open the project, I get a window saying there are x number of stray clips (my transition and title clips) and would I like to move them to the clip panes or leave them alone. Either way, they end up being out of order. Why will they not stay in the edited order that I put them in, even after I hit Save?

    I do Save the projects this way and all the clips show up in the edit panel below the clip frames. BUT, none of the Transition or Title clips stay in the edit panel below. Each time I open the saved project, a message window appears saying that there are x number of stray clips (the Transition and Title Clips). Then it asks me if I would like to leave them alone or put them in the clips pane. If I put them in the clips pane, then I have to once again reposition them where they belong in the edit panel below. This happens every time.

  • I have a PC.  I would like to sync my iPad2 via itunes.  My computer recognizes my iPad but itunes does not.  I have deleted the itunes program, shut down my computer and restarted and then reinstalled itunes.  I still have the same problem.  Suggestions?

    I have a PC.  I would like to sync my iPad2 via itunes.  My computer recognizes my ipad but itunes does not.  I have uninstalled itunes, shut down the computer and restarted plus reinstalled itunes.  I visited the Apple store there is no problem with the iPad or the cord. I still have the same problem and am unable to sync when I plug in the iPad via the USB cord.  Does anyone have further suggestions? 

    Try going into the control panel, add/remove programs. Uninstall iTUnes, Apple mobile device service, apple application support. Then redownload and reinstall iTunes and see if it'll work
    If the computer sees your iPad you know the cable and connection is good, so the issue has to be software.

    I bought a pdf book last year and had no problem reading it for a few months then all of a sudden I could no longer open it and to this day. Any other pdf download off internet I can still open and read, except for that particular book. Operating system is Windows 7 Home Premium, Adobe Reader XI 11.0.07.  When trying to open file I get msg "You did'nt login or your session has expired. Please log in to read this document for the first time". (Like I said I have read it before). So I log in but that prompts me to give the name of the file I want to export or convert to Word or something else, which is not what I want to do of course. I have not purchased any service from Adobe or Acrobat as I only need to read. Thanks for your help..

    Well, it appears that your backup is corrupt, thus causing your issue. So, you'll have to restore as a new device, & not from backup. Follow this by syncing your content back to your phone:

  • Now that the photo gallery in MobileMe is ending, is there another photo sharing site to which existing iPhoto albums can be transferred as is, with photos in the same order and with titles, and with minimal problems?

    Now that the photo gallery in MobileMe is ending, is there another photo sharing site to which existing iPhoto albums can be transferred as is, with photos in the same order and with titles, and with minimal problems?

    No. If you don't have the album you originally used to create the galleries you can do so by dragging the photos from each gallery to a new, empty album. Then when you find the photo sharing site/option you have decided on  you can easily upload each album to the site.
    Another option is to obtain a hosting service and create iWeb photo pages for each album and future albums similar to this photo page in one of my demo sites: iPhoto Book as an iWeb Slideshow.  Or you can use the iWeb album page and have an album for each  iPhoto album on it like on this demo page: Page-7 .

    Hi Prabhuram and falez,
    This issue appears where there are any inconsistencies in your catalog (generally for video files). This issue may be due to offline files, missing files, video scenes. The recommendation here would be to fix these inconsistencies and try again. If that doesn't solve the issue, please follow steps mentioned in email by me.
