Still images wont show!

I'm using PPro 6 with a brand new PC computer, when I add any kind of still image to the timeline or source window they will NOT show up anywhere until after render. Big HD video files show up and play fine but not image files. Somebody please help me figure out why??? Thank you
System:
Pentium Core i7
16 GB Ram
Intel HD Video card

Have you updated your Intel graphics chip's video driver, either from the Intel Web site, or that of your MoBo mfgr., or computer mfgr., if you have a Dell, Lenovo, Toshiba, HP, etc.?
As John T. points out, Intel makes great chips, but with embedded video, their driver support is almost non-existant. That is why many recommend NOT going with an embedded Intel chip, or turning that OFF, and going with an nVidia, or AMD/ATI video card - their driver support is much better.
Now, what are the pixel x pixel dimensions of those Image files? DPI/PPI, and file size is meaningless - only the pixel x pixel dimensions matter.
If they are much larger than your Sequence's Frame Size, I would Scale those down in Photoshop first, then Import and place them onto your Timeline.
PrPro, as of CS 5, has much better Scaling, than previous versions, but only through the CUDA/MPE capabilities of certain video cards - not an embedded Intel graphics chip. You would be better off, considering your chips to do the Scaling outside of PrPro.
Good luck,
Hunt

How can i set each still image to show for 1 frame?

im trying to create a 60fps timelapse but i just can't get each image to show for less than 2 frames, i've gone to edit>preferences>import and set the still footage length to 0:00:00:01. and i've set the sequence footage to 60fps(although i'm not positive what this does)
i then bring my photos down to create new composition set it to 0:00:00:01 still duration and then each photo shows for 2 frames, any ideas?
thanks a lot!

If you import a single frame as an image sequence it will be 2 frames long.
If you import an image sequence as an image sequence you won't be able to see the individual frames in the timeline as being 2 frames long. However, if your composition is set to 60 fps and the image sequence is interpreted as 30 fps, when you step through the footage there will be pairs of identical frames. Change the interpretation to 60 fps and the image sequence will be half as long but each frame will be unique.

Podcast Image wont show up in iTunes

I have started my podcast, using feedburner and and blogger, and I uploaded my podcast image to feedburner. However, when iTunes downloads the feed for the Podcast, it downloads all the episodes, descriptons links and what not, but it wont download the image. Why? How can I get it to download the image. I havent yet posted the feed to the iTunes store, I want to get it perfect before I do. Here is the feed URL. You can still use it in iTunes but it just wont get the image. Right now, i only have the test episode, to make sure it works, it does, i just need the image.
You can open the feed in Safari, or iTunes. Itunes will only pick up the audio podcast though. Which is what I want it to do.

Sizing of still images for use in Premiere Pro editing.

I use Premiere Pro 5.5. I use format: AVCHD 1080i25(50i) Anamorphic for my editing (I have a Canon Legria Camera). My current stills are resized to 800x 600. When I insert in to the sequence and play it, they fall outside the safety margins. I read the Adobe help notes on this topic and resized (if memory serves 32000x32000 was mentioned) This didn't work. I also tried 2200x 1200 but this still fell out of the safety margin. Even toggling the still in the timeline didn't work. Any advice on sizing? Many thanks

I agree with Ann. This ARTICLE goes into more detail on Scaling Still Images, and shows how to Automate to Batch w/ Actions in Photoshop, and also in Photoshop Elements. One can do an entire folder full of images in but moments.
Note: the article was done, when SD was the common Project, i.e. before HD gained popularity. Disregard the Frame Sizes in the early parts, as those pixel x pixel dimensions are for SD. Discussions on HD Projects follows pretty closely, as will some discussion by Todd Kopriva, on how things changed in PrPro, as of CS 5.
Good luck,

Still image size when importing to Premiere Pro CS3

I was wondering if someone could help me. I do a lot of Still Image Slide shows with music and all that jazz and I used to use Premiere 6.5. When I would import the still images I could just lock the aspect ratio and it would automatically size the picture to fit the screen. I recently upgraded to CS3 and when I try to import a photo it imports it at actual image size so if the pic to too big it just looks zoomed in. I'm wonder if there is a setting in I can adjust so it autosizes the pic like it did in version 6.5? It may sound lazy but I do these with a lot of picture and I don't have time to adjust the size of each photo in Photoshop prior to import.
I have figured out a temporary workaround where I import the files into 6.5 and then open the existing project in CS3 but my new computer runs Vista and it's not allowing me to install 6.5 on it. I would appreciate any help.
Thanks.

I copied this from the help.
Scale assets automatically
1 Choose Edit > Preferences > General (Windows) or Premiere Pro > Preferences > General
2 Select Default Scale To Frame Size.(Mac OS).
3 Click OK.

Still Images suddenly have Media Offline icon

Asking this on behalf of a friend who just encountered it and is with a client at the moment...
In his timeline, everything was working fine, cutting in some footage, throw in a still image section, add more footage, all good. He then went back to review his timeline and a section of his timeline had the red "Media Offline" icon on all the footage involved. This section consists of about 15 still images (JPG files) around 10 seconds in length. Oddly enough, when he brought the playhead over this section, it still played fine, as in the proper still image was showing on screen. Even if he made modifications, he was able to render and again, the still images would play the way he intended. We tried making FCP take the footage offline, and then doing a reconnect: still had the offline icon. We restarted, still had the offline icon. All the items in his browser have the "picture" icon rather than the "offline" icon (box with red strike). We dragged the physical JPG file from Finder into the Browser window, and then placed it on the timeline: still had Offline icon.
Normally not a 'huge' issue, only a cosmetic one. Except that it's happening right in front of a big client who's always worked with Avids before. Ideally we'd like her Final Cut experience to be a wonderful one and I can tell that this cosmetic error isn't convicing her to switch. Anybody have any idea what's going on?
To sum it up: The pictures are all behaving normally, can be modified, animated, etc... The ONLY issue is that in the timeline, they have the "media offline" icon rather than a picture of it's first frame.

Don't worry its just the thumbnail that's offline. Its not even really necessary to fix but if he really needs to he can just shut down FCP. Go to wherever he has his scratch disc set up. (You know where you tell FCP to save renders, auto saves, and so forth). Just drop the folder named Thumbnail Cache into the trash. The next time you open your project it will automatically create a new folder and files and you should be good to go.

Problem importing "still" images from DV tape

(Setup: iMovie 9, OS X 10.58, Pansonic NV-GS250)
Hello everyone,
I m trying to solve the following problem:
I need to edit (fades, overdub etc.) a movie which has been mastered by someone else.
The DV tape I am trying to import has a lot of "still" sequences that were generated as follows:
- The source DV tape was paused while the target (master) DV recorder was recording e.g. for five seconds.
This works fine on the resulting DV tape: The paused frame from the source tape is shown e.g. for five secs, then the next "real" clip is shown seamlessly.
However, upon import from the camera/master tape, iMovie discards these pseudo-still images: They show up as 0 kB files in the event folder.
This happens both with manual and automatic import.
I do not have access to the source material, i.e. the raw tapes and clips that were used this way. This means I cannot "rebuild" these discarded clips.
Does anyone know how to solve this problem - i.e. have iMovie recognize these clips that are actually paused source material?
Or is this something that would require Final Cut? Or may a third-party tool? I would send a few bucks if necessary.
Thanks in advance!

Hello,
thank you for replying, but I probably didn't describe the problem properly ...
You suggest dragging a clip from the event into the project and then creating a Still Frame from it.
I cannot do this because iMovie will not import these clips *at all* - i.e., they are not physically present on the Mac although they show up on screen during import.
Here is what happens:
- Let's say I have three clips on my Digital Video Tape:
- the first is a short, "real" scene,
- the second was generated by pausing the source camcorder and recording this paused frame on the master camcorder for a few seconds
- the third is another "real" scene.
The resulting DV master tape (which I am working with) plays back properly on the camcorder: scene 1, scene 2 (a paused frame), scene 3.
When importing this into iMovie, I end up with these files in iMovie's event folder:
"clip-2009-07-02 01;55;37.dv" 34 MB
"clip-2009-07-02 01;56;10.dv" 0KB <-
"clip-2009-07-02 05;51;26.dv" 21 MB
I.e, iMovie discards these clips upon import - so there is nothing to generate a still frame from.
So I need to get around the import problem.
Even a third-party tool for importing such "paused still frame" clips from a DV tape would help. I just need to get them onto the Mac HD.

Final Cut and Still Image Slideshows

I'm considering buying Final Cut Express as I want to get into video editing. I would very much be a beginner. One need I have is to be able to make still image slide shows with soundtrack etc. I assume Final Cut Express would do the job as well as the more advance video editing?
Any help advice would be appreciated!
Thanks
David

1st generation ipod. When I plug it into my computer an image of a disk w/a magnifying glass appears (disk scan). Each time I plug it in it does the same thing and it wont show up on my computer.

I have a 1st generation ipod, which I love. When I plug it into my computer an image of a disk with a magnifying glass appears (disk scan). When it finishes the scan it always checks out. I then restart it and all looks fine. Each time I plug it in to the computer it does the same thing and it wont show up on my computer. The other strange thing is all of the songs are gone from the ipod but the disk space is still being used. When the ipod is not plugged into the computer everything look fine even the correct date shows up. Any ideas????? Thanks

- Have you tried the troubleshooting here:
iPhone, iPad, or iPod touch: Device not recognized in iTunes for Windows
- You can try disabling the camer notification

- Do you have any camera, scanner or similar software installed? That may prevent iTunes from seeing the iPod.

Any help would be great!!!

This is about the still image size changing from what I see on the computer monitor and what the burned DVD shows on the TV

I have Prem.El 12 and have used PE4 for years. I have a new PC that runs Win7Pro. The still images on the computer monitor are within the "safe margins". The still images after the movie has been burned to a disk are MUCH smaller on the TV screen. Is this an issue of 16:9 vs 4:3 ratios? My TV is 4:3. Can I tell PE12 to make the movie a 4:3?

retchemteach
Although I have seen your post of today in my Inbox Email Notifications, that post has not yet appears in this thread. It will probably will sooner or later. But, to keep things moving along....this is a copy of what I am seeing as your message of today in my Indox Email Notifications
Thank you for your patience in the time it is taking me to get back to you.
I am still trying to buy some DVD-RW discs and will hopefully do that in a
bit. Meanwhile, I have more info for you and some simple (I hope)
questions. If you want to insert your answers, that would be fine.
My camera (for stills and video) is set to the 4:3 ratio. It is capable of
being set to a 16:9 ratio if I wanted to do that. I looked in its TOOLS
menu and saw this info.
My TV is definitely a 4:3 TV. (I measured it with my tape measure and
divided W/L to get 1.33) The TV can show a 16:9 movie and just adds the
black bars on the top and bottom. Question: What will my old 4:3 movies
look like on a 16:9 TV whenever we buy one of those?
It seems to me that I want to set PE12 to the NTSC DV Standard you
mentioned.
I do NOT know how to “size your photos so that each has a 4:3 aspect”,
unless you mean doing that in Photoshop Elements, which I know how to do
(*see below)
I had NOT considered that I would need to watch the preset for the
‘Publish+Share’ step; so that’s good to know (I copied and pasted your info
for later use).
BTW, years ago when I had difficulties with my XP computer working on PE4
(had only 2 GB RAM), an Adobe tech told me to resize my photos * to have a
720 pixel width (the height would be automatically adjusted) to lower the
file size to something my computer could handle without crashing. (That
was back in the good ol’ days when Adobe support would actually talk with
their customers and try to help them in the first month)
My new computer has 16GB RAM. Do you think I still need to reduce file
size? One does lose some sharpness in the resizing process…..however,
these videos I’m making are travelogues and are for a fun way to view pics
and videos of a trip…nothing Earth shattering….and just a hobby to keep me
off the streets.
I truly appreciate the time you take to help me (and others). I was even
tempted to try to install my old PE4 on my new computer just to be able to
enjoy my hobby again.
My reply to the above....
1. If you camera is giving you 4:3 photos and your Premiere Elements 12/12.1 is running on Windows 7, 8, or 8.1 64 bit, then leave
the photos as is unless you have a lot of photos and each has pixel dimensions sizes way over 1920 x 1080 pixels that are giving your computer resource issues. If you have to down size them because of computer resources, then copy the photos to a computer desktop folder and also create an empty folder on the computer desktop.
a. Photoshop Elements Editor, File Menu/Process Multiple Files.
Process Files form Folder
Source - browse to and select the computer desktop folder with photos to be resized
Destination - browse to and select the empty computer desktop folder
Image Size
             Check Mark Next To Resize Images
            (no check mark next to Constrain Proportions)
            Type in Width = 1000 (set units for pixels)
            Type in Height = 750 (set unites for pixels)
File Size
           Check Mark Next to Convert Files To
           Set for JPEG High Quality
The above should work fine for a NTSC DV Standard project with a burn to DVD disc with preset NTSC_Dolby DVD (4:3 video).
2. With regard to the TV Set and 16:9 video....when you have the DVD-player attached to the TV, do you have the opportunity to bring up a display of menus with
controls for Picture and Aspect Ratio? From what you have written so far, it looks like the answer is no. I am not sure how your TV DVD
player will handle 16:9.
Best do a mini test run
1. Project preset set manually to NTSC DV Widescreen (please refer to post 1 link)
A few photos sized for 1600 x 1200
In the Premiere Elements project, use the Safety Margins inner rectangle for text placement
Publish+Share/Disc/DVD disc with preset = NTSC_Widescreen_Dolby DVD.
See what that looks like on your TV DVD player.
If you discovered that your current TV DVD player can be set for a 16:9 display, then I have a preferred workflow for
NTSC DV Widescreen which typically gives best possible results. Hints of things to come.
Please review and consider. Thanks for the follow ups.

IPad wont show .jpg images correctly

My new iPad wont show .jpg images correctly. They all get a yellow/blue filter almost like a negative photo. This is in Safari, Maps,Youtube and every App using .jpg images. Gifs, and png, viewing video etc is fine. Also the home screen background/wallpaper gets this problem.
BUT saved .jpgs from Safari strangely enough look fine in Photos. (Thumbnails stil look bad though.)
I thought it had to be a software issue, but reseting my device with newest OS (3.2) is not helping.
Any others with the same problem?

Thanks for your reply. I have not created any JPGs, or transfered them to the iPad. I just surf with Safari and all .jpg's are getting this strange colors. When starting Maps the satellite mode gets wrong colors. The background on the home screen are the ones that came with the iPad. Strange thing is that when restoring it with software reset, the background is ok. When choosing a new (even choosing the same one) they get wrong colors when going to the home screen. (They all look good when choosing)
It looks like the iPad is not doing the final steps on rendering the images. (And also have a short blink when being displayed) However as I said, all images look good when viewing fullscreen in the Photos App. Even the ones saved from Safari which looked bad in Safari.

Still images wont show!
