Still photos go bad for no reason

I am working in FCP 6.0.5 on a MacPro computer. I imported five photos into a new project for a 30 sec. commercial. The size of the photos prior to importing are: 88 kb; 196 kb, 2.6 mb , 3.2 mb and 5.1 mg
In my project, I placed one photo (2.6 mb) and dragged it out to 13 seconds duration or so. It starts out beautiful: crisp and clear. Then, after scrubbing through it, seems to become out of focus! It has now happened with each of the photos.
I tried the de-interlace photo (both upper and even) and it only made it worse. In fact, the more I try to fix this issue, the worse the photos seem to get. They seem to degrade more and more (it seems).
Also, I exported via QTime and the resulting file plays poorly. The QT file is as follows:
109 mg
720 x 480
integer: Little Endian
channel count:2
bit rate: 30,311
Thanks for any advice.

I can certainly go into Photoshop and resize the photos,and then re-import, some are vertical and it will be difficult to crop. (Client supplied photos.)
Nevertheless, as I mentioned, I outputted the original file using QT and then played the :30 mov on a TV monitor and the result was equally unclear and out of focus -- same as in the Timeline. Note that in the BROWZER, the STILL pictures are crisp while the STILL pictures in the canvas become unclear.
Also, I did animate the photos (vertical from top to bottom) alternating in the opposite direction for the next photo. However, as I mentioned, the still photos in the canvas appear unclear prior to animating them. When I play the dvd, the straight lines on all the objects that I have animated, look like ants crawling.
~Thanks,

If Other (the yellow bar) is too big something is corrupted. The only solution (that I know of) is to restore from your most recent backup using iTunes (see http://support.apple.com/kb/ht1766).

Would 100% width on a Fluid Grid Layout be bad for any reason?

I was thinking of setting 100% width on my Fluid Grid Layout (for all media queries) so I wouldn't have to go outside the fluid container for my header and footer bar. Would this be bad for any reason? I feel like they probably preset sizes below 100% for a reason.

If you are talking about desktop version then NO provided you assign margins, paddings and borders to html tags rather than the Divs. This is because borders, margins and paddings are all part of the box model and so the overall width could possibly exceed 100%.
Hope this helps for you to search for box model and how it works on W3C website.
Good luck.

Still Photo - Ideal Resize For PE9

After a still photo has been edited and cropped in PSE 7, what is the ideal "resize" for that photo when used in PE9?
It seems that "cropped" still photos are a challenge

The "ideal size" will depend on your Project. I Scale to the exact Frame Size, unless I have compelling reasons to not do so.
This ARTICLE will give you some tips, and also how to automate much of it.
What are the specs. of your Project?
Good luck,

Reset - Set New Default For Length Of Stills/Photos -Same Parameter For All

Hi Gang
Just need a jump start to resetting the length of time for Video in the Browser. I'd like this new parameter, (5 Seconds), to be used for all Stills/Photos inserted on the timeline.
It's for a simple slide show
Thanx

Senderbase Reputation Bad for no reason?

Does anyone know of any way I can find out WHY some of our IP's poor senderbase reputation score even though the rest that send the same mail do not?
It seems to only be this range of IP's affected as they were a group of 30 that we received...184.107.24.161-190
I like the concept of what Cisco is doing with senderbase - but without telling system administrators WHY they are listed poorly, how can we fix the problem? And why is there no mechanism to contact people to request the reasoning behind the change in status?
If anyone can help, please let me know - as we don't know who to contact and I suspect the previous owner of these is the reason for it!

I am using the iPhone 6 updated to current version, and I cannot send photos to my Family via iCloud. When I first started the account 30 min. Ago I was able to send photos. Then for some reason I was not able to send or comment photos, what's wrong?

I opened a family iCloud sharing account recently, at first I was able to share photos but now all I can do is receive photos and comments. I currently have the iPhone 6 updated to the current version. Is there something wrong with my phon? I restarted it as well as checked all of my connections the wifi is fine, but all I can do is recieive photos and comments. What could possibly be wrong?

1. You did not get an error message telling you that your iPhoto library was getting full. You got a message telling you that your HD was getting full, right?
OS X needs about 10 gigs of hard drive space for normal OS operations - things like virtual memory, temporary files and so on.
Without this space your Mac will slow down as the OS hunts for space on the disk, files will be fragmented, also slowing things down, apps will crash and the risk of data corruption - that is damage to your files, photos, music - increases exponentially.
Your first priority is to make more space on that HD. Nothing else can be done until you do.
Purchase an external HD and move your Photos and Music to it. Both iPhoto and iTunes can run perfectly well with the Library on an external disk.
Your Library has been damaged from being run on an overfull disk.
How much free space on it now?

I cannot get my photo to print for this reason -there is a photo in this print job which is missing its source file

I'm working in lightroom to print cards with a custom print size. When I set up the printer I get a message that reads "There is one photo in the print job which is missing its source file". The preview shows my card as blank. What is wrong?

I would believe what the message is saying, that a photo is missing. Do you know what photo you're trying to print, and if you look at this photo in Library, does it have a question mark on the thumbnail or other indication that the preview is there but the master photo is gone/moved?

DVI = Active but the moniter still goes to sleep for no reason.

1. Product Name and Number
Don't know, some 20" moniter from HP
2. Operating System installed (if applicable)
Windows 7
3. Error message (if any)
No error message, it just goes to sleep like a lazy ass.
4. Any changes made to your system before the issue occurred
No, bought it brand new.
That's basically it, I have a DVI cord plugged in and the moniter knows that, but it just goes to sleep even though I have it plugged in.

Audio gone bad for no reason!!

I made a complete movie, its played fine for over 3 months, then one day there is no audio and the video skips all over the place. The audio and video play fperfect when a single clip is being played, but when the whole movie is played, nothing works. I have no idea why this happened. ANy help would be greatly appreciated. thanks.

Me too! I even started to my project from scratch and was comforted that it seemed fine. Then when I extracted the audio, the video and audio portions got garbled.
Using iMovie 3.0.3 with Mac OS 10.3.9 and QuickTime 7.0.3 on both a PowerMac G4-400mhz (Gigabit Ethernet) and iBook G3-600mhz (Oct 2001).
I'll have to downgrade QT to get my project done.
I'd like to think that Apple will provide a fix. . . but I suppose they don't really have much incentive to support iMovie 3 when they're on iMovie HD 5 or whatever now. I suppose I need to weigh buying iLife '05 or a new Mac mini with iLife bundled.

I deleted injustice from my ipad, and I'm trying to reinstall it, but it doesn't for some reason. I have lots of memory left but it still doesn't work for some reason. Can you please help ?

I tried reinstalling injustice on my ipad, but it doesn't work.

Hi Somehunk,
Welcome to the Support Communities!
The first thing I would suggest is to quit the iTunes Store app and sign out of your iTunes Store account on your iPhone.
Then restart / reset the device.
When you sign back in, you should be able to re-initiate the download.
The following articles will explain these steps in more detail:
iOS: Force an app to close

Problems setting duration for still photos and transitions in iMovie '11

I downloaded iMovie 11 from the Apps Store last night and am trying to make my first movie with it today. I use still photos exclusively.
For most - but not all - I like 5 seconds for photos and for transitions 2 seconds. I do vary this on occasion and so do not check "for all photos' or "for all transitions".
I can't get these settings to work with this version of iMovie. For example, I added a photo (5 sec) then a transition (2 sec) which changed the duration time of the photo - as it should. But when I double clicked the photo, to bring up the inspector window to change the duration of the photo, nothing happened. Then I added another photo. The duration of the first photo increased to 7 seconds and nothing I do seemed to change that.
The time increases seem random: for example, sometimes the time on the still photo increases to 6:29 sec, sometimes to 7 sec.
The duration for the transitions always remains the same - 2 sec; it's the time for the photos that jumps around. And I haven't been able to find a way to get back to 5 sec.
Before posting this, I researched and found an number of earlier posts detailing the same issues.
However, none of these posts had stars to indicate the problem was solved.
Has anyone found a solution or is this a bug that should be reported to Apple?

Interesting!!
I've spent a lot of hours on this too, but I have come up with a different solution perhaps because I like to vary both the image duration and the transition duration in my movies.
Here's my process:
-> Knowing that (a) I want most of the photos to be visible for 5 seconds and most transitions for 2 seconds and (b) that a transition takes half from the photo before and half from the photo after, under File>Project Properties>Photo Duration I chose 7 seconds - each photo will 'lose' a total of 2 seconds from the transitions in front and behind. I did not check either "Applies to all transitions." or "Applies to all photos." - See below for why.
-> I discovered, as you have, that all the photos have to go in before I add any transitions. This was new to me. With all previous versions of iMovie I simply added a photo then a transition then another photo one at a time. I had to fiddle with the timing adjustments, but at least I could fiddle. With this new version of iMovie I can't. Once the transition is in place, I cannot change the duration of the photo.
-> Sometimes, I want a longer or shorter duration for a photo. For example, on photos to which I apply the Ken Burns effect, I often want the image on the screen for a slightly longer time. In this case, I have to use the inspector to change the duration before I add the transitions. So I might set the time for 8 seconds; when both transitions are added, the time for this photo becomes 6 seconds, which is what I want.
-> The same applies if I want a transition to be shorter or longer than 2 seconds. If, for example, I want the duration for a transition to be 1 second, then I have to change the duration on the two linked photos to 5 1/2 seconds.
All of this requires much more prior planning than I am used to with iMovie. Right now, I working with batches of 5 or 6 photos at a time. I don't put a transition on the last photo in the batch until I have added the next group of photos. And things get really tricky if I don't like my original design. If I want to change anything, I have to take out all of the transitions linking the photos I want to work on, do the math, make the changes in the photo durations, then put the transitions back.
Perhaps I am trying to make iMovie do more than it was intended to do, I don't know. Perhaps this problem stems from the fact that I bought just iMovie 11 from the Mac Apps Store and not the entire iLife 11. Don't know that either. But at least I have found a way to make the movie look the way I want it to look.
Thanks for sharing your process. I will use it when the circumstances are right.

So here's my problem. I just used the "reset all settings" option, and accidentaly restored an old backup. It deleted all my photos and contacts, but for some reason I still have all the apps from after the backup date, is there a way to get it all back?

So here's my problem. I just used the "reset all settings" option, and accidentaly restored an old backup. It deleted all my photos and contacts, but for some reason I still have all the apps from after the backup date,and it also kept the notes from after the backup. The "reset all settings" option clearly says no loss of data or media, so I don't understand why some stuff got deleted. My question is, is there a way to get it back?

If you still can find a recent backup listed in iTunes/Edit/Preferences/Devices, use this one to restore from.
If there are no recent backups listed, your data is gone. Only if you included the iTunes backup folder into your computer backup routine, you could be able to restore this folder and find one of your latest backups listed again.

I just had this problem as well and spent quite a bit of time reviewing all of the suggestions/ideas/comments, and since I am not that tech-savy I remembered this "suggestion" from the UK show The "IT Crowd" which was "Have you tried turning it off and on again??" (both devices)
