Still photos disappearing and showing up in random order?!

Hi,
I'm trying to add a series of still photos to my iMovie project, and while they're appearing correctly in the project map, they either disappear or appear in a random order when I play back the movie. Oddly enough, if I play it back a couple of times in a row, it'll pick a different random order to show the photos...if it decides to show anything at all. I don't seem to be having the photo duration problem that other people seem to have (knock on wood), but this seems really weird. Is there a setting I'm missing?
Thanks in advance for any help!

I may be mistaken, but it appears that you are trying to add stills to an iMovie Trailer template. Unfortunately, the Trailer templates only allow the insertion of video clips. The way around this limitation is to convert the Trailer to a normal project, then you can add stills and/or edit the project in the normal way. At the points where you wish to add stills, just leave the animatics in place. When the Trailer is converted, simply replace the animatics with your own stills.
To convert the Trailer, go to iMovie's menu and select File>Convert to Project. It's best to duplicate the Trailer first. To do this, in Project Library view, right-click (or Control-click) on the name of the Trailer. From the pop-up menu select Duplicate Project, then convert the duplicate to a normal project.

Iweb images disappear and show only 2 words: Comments Widget

would anyone please help
I built a website and publish the web successfully. However, after i changed some album and images, all images disappeared and showed only 2 words "Comments Widget" Anyone know how to fix this problem.
Thank you!

the website I pulished seems working well in safari and firefox
Are you now saying that the first problem is no longer there? All the pages I visited appeared to be loading fine. As far as getting your site to work the IE see How to get your iWeb Site to load in Internet Explorer. IE is the acknowledged worst browser out there. This site may help you.

Still photos flicker and transitions glitchy in 6.5

I am using Premiere 6.5 on a pc with vista. I am making a still photo video and maybe my initial settings are wrong. The preset I am using is dv-ntsc real time preview standard 48kHz. When I playback my timeline, my transitions are not smooth and are "bar-like" (for lack of a better word). The photos that have motion on them flicker. I have reduced the interlace on the photos with motion, I have rendered my timeline. I have tried the gaussian blur, but that makes the photo worse. I made sure the Rendering setting is at lower field first. Should I click on optimize stills? Can I reset my project settings after I have put everything on the timeline? All of my photos are .jpgs The only thing I can think of that I am doing wrong is my settings! I want to export this to a DVD. I have made an MPEG file and an AVI file and that obviously doesn't matter. This project is due in 4 days and I don't want to start over in another software program. Please offer any advice you can. Thank you!

The first thing you need to do is provide the DETAILS about your pictures... especially including how they were created and their pixel size

Still photos disappear from video

I am just learning Premiere Elements for a newspaper where I work and designed a 4-minute video in which I dropped into the Timeline in 2 different place a series of four still photos. When I re-opened the file this morning, all the photos were missing from the timeline (the rest of the video was fine). In adding the photos through the 'Get Media' tab should the program not have added them for good or are the photos as they show in the Premiere Elements Project pointing to files on my desktop? In that case, perhaps I moved the original photo file folder? Does that original folder need to remain in one place for the life of the project? I may have uploaded the stills from a file in my paper's Staging area that is purged the following day.
Thanks for any insights. I have since re-imported the photos adn re-done the timeline which was a hassle.

Douglas,
I found that the FLV played fine on my cable-modem connection (via my wireless g to my laptop). Now, for faster Export, you might weigh the lower connection speeds vs the resulting quality. Personally, I err on the side of quality, until the Webmaster starts complaining that too many users are still on dial-up, but that's just me.
Now, I was listening on the laptop on the patio (not the most critical listening environment, or method), but found nothing objectionable. The overall Audio levels might be a bit low, but at least should not blow speakers, if users have the volume set to max - unlike some music videos. The lack of an external mic connection is a big drawback, even on some higher-end video cameras.
I also found the result quite good. My wife has the G-10, but has never used it as a video capture device - impressive in your use.
The subject and location were interesting, as well. It's been far too long since I hiked the New River and surrounding areas.
Thanks for sharing,
Hunt
PS - did you solve the disappearing stills issue?

Newbie Question My Photos print and show desaturated color

Hi I have a feeling there is a very simple answer to this. My photos which I mainly process in Lightroom 3 (with some adjustments in Photoshop CS3) print and show desaturated colors wether or not they are RAW or JPEG. I have applied camera profile settings such as landscape, to raw files but when I export them as a jpg and send to a photo shop to print they are still desaturated. Also when I send a stand alone file to a media contact it shows desaturated to them. If I deliberately adjust my monitor to Pro RGB it appears to show the true colour that others are seeing. I have attempted to over saturate to get a reasonable print but clearly this is not correct.
Proberbly an easy question for someone out there but I am having trouble resolving it.
Many Thanks
Steve

Please click on the link below and read the entire site carefully. Then follow the instructions to the letter.
http://www.gballard.net/psd/cmstheory.html
In a nutshell:
• Calibrate and profile your monitor. Set the resulting profile as your monitor profile. Never use a device independent color space (such as ProPhoto RGB, Adobe RGB or sRGB) as your monitor profile. Only use your calibrated profile specific to your monitor.
• honor the embedded profile in each file;
• when sending your images to a run-of-the mill lab, convert your images to sRGB (do not use assign profile; use CONVERT to profile) and embed the sRGB profile in them.
The above site explains it all to you.

Still photo scaling and motion

I'm editing a series of still photos and can't figure out how to properly scale the photos and add zooms and other motions. Any advice??

To do this in FCP, place the images in the order you want on the Timeline. Double-click one to load it into the Viewer window. Click on the Motion tab, then use the SCALE and CENTER controls to set the animation you want.
Once you set the initial keyframe for an image, FCP will automatically add new keyframes for each change over the duration of the image. Setting the Canvas window to Image+Wireframe mode will allow you to scale and drag the image with the mouse.

Still Photo's and High Definition Video.

Would there be any advantage to scanning photo's for High Definition and then converting them to Standard Definition? Or would you just scan them at a higher resolution.?
I'm looking for a way to have clearer photo's and at the same time use them in a standard DVD player.
I'm in the need of a video monitor and trying to decide if there would be any advantage to moving to high definition to be ready for the future when I do not have a need for it right now. I use mostly still photo's in my videos.

As for the phpotos I would always scan or produce them at least 2x the target resolution in each direction - especdially if you're doing moves. If you know you won't be doing moves, then you can prepare them at exactly the target resolution (including the pixel shape if you're using say NTSC standard or anamorphic).
Since you're looking at protecting for an HD future, assume that target resolution is... 1080x to cover your bases.
Don't know what you're scanning, but watch out for moire patterns coming from halftone dots in printed photos. There are ways to deal with them, poke around here or better yet in Photoshop or other graphics forums.
As for an HD monitor, prices will of course plummet just after you buy it. No sense in jumping on a bandwagon you won't even be using yet. If you're serious about quality, get a broadcast SD monitor.

Photos in events are suddenly in random order

Suddenly, many of my events has their photos in what seems to be a random order. This is true for both my iPhone 4 and iPad 3. gen. The order in iPhoto on my Mac is as I have set it to be, by date.
What I have tried so far:
- Deleting the "iPod photo cache" folder, and resyncing all the pictures
This is not the first time the Photos app on my iOS devices acts weird. Ever since a couple of years ago all the thumbnails of the events has been set to the first photo of the event.
Any suggestions?

I have the same problem using iPhoto 11 and iPad first generation (ios5). Pictures are sorted in chronological order in albums in iPhoto, but on the iPad they are grouped into Horizontal and vertical orientation. Horizontal oriented pictures comes first in the albums in reverse chronological order, vertical oriented pictures comes after in chronological order!

Photo events not showing up in alphabetical order

Hi there all, why aren't my photo events showing up in chronological order? It appears like it starts with events from 2007, then works backwards from there as I scroll down. Then, after it gets through my earliest pics, it gets to my latest stuff. Very odd.
In iPhoto, they're in chronological order most recent to oldest.
thanks,
dp

Talked to Apple support- we figured it out. In case anyone has the same problem: one of my events in the iMovie events folder was corrupted, once I deleted that file, all was well.

Majority of my contact photos disappear and I have to re-add them.

I have assigned photos of family/friends to my contacts. Some of them stay, but the majority of them disappear. I sync them to Backup Assistant Plus, but they still disappear. How can I keep them from disappearing?

It's been a while since I done the switch from B.A. to Google but I think that would work.. as I mention you can make adjustments to your contacts once you set them up with Google you can add Birthdays and other things like that you want to add.. what changes you make to the Contact on the Gmail site will update your phone it works really well once you get it going I done mine back in 2010.!

Icons in menu bar disappear and show up again

All icons in my icon bar in the upper right corner disappear every other second and start to show up again one after each other.
I have no clue how to stop this annoying behavior. I did not do anything special.
Does anybody have any idea?
THX

Go to ~(Home)/Library/Preferences/com.apple.systemuiserver.plist and delete that file then log out and back in or restart. Your menu bar should return to default.
This may solve it, or the problem may actually be in the .plist of the application you used. Go through your preferences and see if any name without "com.apple..." rings a bell. Don't delete it just drag it to the desktop and log out and back in or restart.
Let us know.

Photos Disappearing and Coming Back Out of Sort!

Hello...Please read this box carefully and help me anyway you can:
Some hours ago I was doing some changes in my settings and then when I lunched Photos, suddenly I saw all my photos have DISAPPEARED!!! I paniced! those photos mean a lot to me! I've recorded my best moments in this device! then after a minute I saw a word "Restoring..."
I became happy that everything is going back to normal but I saw only some of my pictures and videos in Camera Roll are coming back WITHOUT ANY ORDER! Every Pic that was in this App, was following one of my nice memories one by one but now they're somehow all GONE! Also my handmade Albums are all gone too! I don't know what to do. I just want my photos back in the sort they were! Plus, I have no backups on iTunes or iCloud...
Waiting for your help, Thanks...

Thanks I'll have another go at that then...think there might be a <base> tag in there somewhere confusing things a little.
By the way, have you had a problem when making the first switch to https, after the cert is accepted it hangs on my setup and will only continue if you refresh the page...
Thanks again.

Updated to iOS6, a week later, photos disappeared and photostream/iPhoto stopped syncing.

I updated my 4s to iOS 6, and my photos were fine. A week later, and my photos have disappeared, though the album names are there. (I don't have access to a PC, so I can't use the iExplorer trick to find the photo files.)
All of my photos exist on my photostream on my iPad, but the photostream is not syncing on my iPhone. (Yes, the photostream is turned on on both devices.)
In addition, many of the photos were backed up with iPhoto, and iTunes says 44 of them shoudl be synced with my phone--but they are not syncing either.
My OS is not up to date on my Mac (I know, I know, but I deleted the app store and am too lazy to update) so I can't access my photostream on my computer.
I created a "shared" photostream with every photo from my photostream, and only 40 of 1000 photos (the one taken by my iPad rather than my iPhone) have appeared on my iphone in this shared photostream.
Questions:
1. How do I access the photo files on my iphone, given I don't have a PC? Or is a shared photostream the best option?
2. How do I get my photostream to sync with my iPhone, despite the fact that my phone and iPad settings say it should already be syncing?
3. How do I get iPhoto to sync with my iPhone, despite the fact that my computer setttings say it should already be syncing?

Try deleting what is called the iPod Photo Cache.

Edited photo disappears. Show file says "zero KB."

Just started. I have iPhoto '09 8.1.2 on MAC OS X 10.6.8
I download a photo > crop it > save it > when I click on it again from the library, the image disappears. When I click on "Show file," it tells me the jpeg has "zero KB."

Yes: (I cannot translate this, but "failed" appearing in almost every line doesn't sound good...)

Trying to move files into a new folder and th finder folders disappear and show latest open application

I did not have this problem running the beta. I upgraded to the shipping version yesterday and whenever I try to move a file or application into another folder, both folders disappear, the desktop screen flashes, then I see the finder folders behind whatever application I had open last sitting on top of the finder window. If I let go of the mouse nothing moves and the windows close.
2013 MacBook Pro 13" retina, 10.10 shipping version

I'm having the same or similar issue... I think... trying to do a little house cleaning in the file structure. For example, in our events folder I'm creating archive folders (i.e. - 2004, 2005, ect...) and when I use the Files Panel to drag and drop the past event pages into the newly created archive folder, the pages loose all their links.
Image link prior to and after moving are the same (../images/logo1.gif)
It does ask me to confirm that I want to move the file but nothing about updating the links. Is it due to the way the files are linked in the original files?
Thanks in advance for any help!!!
