Still shots are getting cropped on playback in Premiere or export

Not sure why, but when I import a bunch of png images they are getting cropped whey I try to play them or export them to a movie. Any ideas why?

Welcome to the forums.

'Default Still' graphics are getting substituted on export - bug?

Much of my work is on TV commercials with multiple excecutions of on-sceen pricing/region-specific URLs etc. My usual workflow is to create the initial overly graphic for the first ad using Default Still. Once the client is happy with this I duplicate the initial Default Still in the Project window, then I edit the duplicate to create the text for the second ad and so forth - thus maintaining all the layout and formatting from the first implementation.
All the versions of the ads play correctly in the Program Viewer, i.e. correct graphic variations are married to the right ads. I use the Export command to create an individual .mov master of each version of the ad. I check the ad I'm exporting is correct by scrolling back and forth in the Export Settings preview pane, and again the correct graphics are still in place.
Now here's the problem... I've recently had several ads sent back to me with the wrong text on them. I've checked them on the sequence and they're correct, no screw-up on my part. What seems to be happening here is the Export process is (seemingly at random) using the text from my initial Default Still rather than the amended duplicates that I have placed in the sequence. Frustratingly, Premiere correctly displays the correct graphics at all stages until I've squeezed it all down to a master. This is a workflow I've been doing for a while, but this oddity has only reared it's head in the past month or so. The only workaround I've found is to watch every exported .mov start-to-finish and when I spot an error I restart Premiere and re-export with my fingers crossed!

Here's what has worked well for me, never any weird issues. Create your "default" still and place as needed on the timeline, add dissolves, etc.
Now one by one, double-click a title on timeline to open Titler, then hit button at upper left for "New Title Based on Current". Name it, update the "new" title text and exit. Now right-click that "default" still on the timeline and select " Replace > With Clip from Bin". This replaces the "default" title with the new one you'd just made, keeping any attributes already applied to "default".
An example for me is a dance recital with 40 acts. I create my first title, add to timeline and make it the right length, add the fade in/out on the ends. This is now a "template" for me with correct font, sizing, layout. I will then copy/paste that same title between every act (with correct length and transitions applied already). Will then go through and update/replace each "template" title into correct title for that spot in the program and formatting is consistent throughout the program on all titles.
Hope this helps you

Still images are getting brighter?

I have still images, plus some vid clips, that I am putting into a project. I have made my adjustments in Bridge/Photoshop CS3 as far as resizing and adjusting the brightness and tones. After I import them into Premiere Pro, and place them on the timeline, they are brighters, almost to the point of blowing out the highlights...any ideas of what is causing this. I am sure it is something simple but I haven't found it yet. I even went back into bridge and adjusted the pics again, and they have gotten brighter again.
Thanks...
Jimmy

Don't change them in Bridge, do them in Photoshop then import them into Premiere.

Does anyone know why the delete and hide options are still missing in the crop tool option bar, despite having changed the background layer to a regular layer? Thanks!

"You totally lost me there, and I have no clue as to what your last question means."
"I think I now know what you mean."
Evidently language is of difficulty for you.
Perhaps the Oxford dictionary can provide you with your much needed “sensible, meaningful” content.
According to the Oxford dictionary, a dialogue is to "Take part in a conversation or discussion to resolve a problem." It also states that a dialogue is "A discussion between two or more people or groups, especially one directed toward exploration of a particular subject or resolution of a problem.”
That IS the inherent nature of posts. A conversation is reciprocation. Questions, followed by more questions.
It is not difficult to understand.
"how to ask your questions correctly for quicker and better answers" is best actualized by simply asking.
Is it a Mac; is it not, etc.
That IS sufficient. That IS "quicker and better answers[ing]." That IS what a dialogue IS. And that IS actually what is "sensible," "meaningful," and "detailed."
The Oxford dictionary can best delineate and elucidate your lack of comprehension in what ACTUALLY “meaning” is.
As well as what is "sensible" AND "detailed."
By the way, am I being repetitive.
Still confused. Let the experts that do not require much explanation respond with "quicker and better answers" for both "sensible, complete" responses." They are not "lost," "blind," or provide "incomplete" drivel.

I do underwater video and add still photos to the video I create. When playing the video the still shots show distorted lines in any design in the picture and as it transitions to the next photo it clears up for a split second. What is causing this?

The photos are clear for the firt instant the appear during palyback and for the 3 or 4 seconds they are on the screen any pattern or design in the photo, say a patterned tablecloth, the pattern goes wavy, distorted, and then at the last moment before moving on the photo goes clear and smooth. It looks like when the picture goes in the "freeze" mode it distorts and when releasing for the next photo it smooths out again. This is really messing up some very good underwater still shots and land photos. I'm using a transition between photos and not using Ken Burns effect. Could use some help on this. Thanks.

so. to summarize your workflwo in my own words:
you're applying 12Mpix stills to an iMovie project
(btw: what setting has the iM project…?)
iMovie doesn't do interlaced internally…
you then 'share to iDVD'
as far as we know, iM converts to some h.264 file…
iDVD has to convert that again, to finally create a standard DVD:
720x480pix, interlaced = 0.3Mpixel resolution (yes, zero.point.three )
and, you're watching via a projector - most projectors have a non-video-resolution e.g. 800x600, 1200x800:
again, scaling effects.
so, tons of scaling/resizing, tons of comversions …
a) use any graphic tool (your Mac's Preview.app?) to scale the pics BEFORE import to iMovie to your Projects resolution (1920x0180, 1280x720, 720x480); choose tiff or png as doemat, avoid jpg
=> this avoids lossy scaling effect in iM
b) if DVD is your only delivery media, set iMovie's Project preferences to your TV-Standard (PAL/NTSC)
c) from iMovie, use 'Export using Quicktime', and in its options, choose AppleIntermediateCodec as … codec
=> this exports iMovies internal timeline without lossy conversions
d) set iDVD manually to same standard as your iMproject, 25/PAL or 30/NTSC
e) stay under 60min of length to allow max. quality
f) try to find a resolution on that laptop that comes close to DVDs res; synch res of laptop with proejctor
g) consider iDVD solo to create a slideshow; avoids any lossy 'inbetween steps' due to iMovie; very limited in terms of 'creation' … creates a slideshow (with music and transitions)
h) consider to avoid the DVD process at all; export from iMovie a 'file'; use a usb-stick to transfer to playback-computer; allows HighDef! DVD is SDef only ...
to create a file whic is compatible with any computer, follow my advice here:
How to create a video for playback with Windows/XBox/PS3/… etc?
For maximum quality of stills, I would use iDVD only (disk, but SDef only);
or avoid disks at all, create a charming HDef iMovie project and transfer via stick

Picture used in Chapter portion of Theme getting cropped

I am using one of the themes in iMovie. When I go to put a picture in the Chapter portion of the theme, the top portion of the picture is getting cropped off. This picture was taken vertically. A picture taken horizontally fits fine. If I try and constrain the size using iPhoto, the picture just gets larger and the heads of the people are still missing. How can I photos taken vertically to fit in the chapter theme without being cropped?

Welcome to the discussion!
iMovie lets us drag the image in the Drop Zone to move it left/right or up/down, depending on the Theme. (Place the mouse over the image in the Drop Zone and press the Option key. Drag the image.)

When i send a PDF via e-print, it gets cropped, is there a way to prevent this from happening?

PDF's are printing fine when i print direct to the printer but when they are sent by e-mail they get cropped, is there a way to get the document to fit to page when sent as an email attachment?
The Printer in question is a HP LaserJet Enterprise 500 color M551n, the printer is brand new installed last week so i don't know if this is the norm or not.
Edit: Please can someone please explain how to correct this.

If you're using a desktop or notebook PC to send the email you could try installing the HP ePrint Mobile Driver software on your machine, the link to the download is here. This will allow you to print the PDF to any ePrint capable printer without having to email it to the printers email address as an attachment.
Once installed and with your PDF open on your machine, select Print from the File menu, then select "ePrint" from the list of available printers (don't select the actual printer itself) and click Print in the bottom right corner of the box. A dialogue box will open showing the avaialble ePrint printers you can print to. Click on the Connected button on the left of the screen to add your printer to the list if its not listed.
Hope this helps.

Read the manual; still can't get it right

i've followed instructions on setting path and classpath, but still can't get the HelloWorldApp to work right. it makes the .class file fine but the java HelloWorldApp command gives this to stdout
Exception in thread "main" java.lang.NoClassDefFoundError: HelloWorldApp
maybe i have the classpath set wrong..currently it's set to C:\jdk1.3.1_01\bin\;"." is it supposed to be somewhere else? well when i use codewarrior it all works fine but i only have a trial version of it and would like to do the command line thing 1) because it's free and 2) because i like typing the commands ...also i have the exact same problem to overcome on my linux box..same error message as above.
any help is greatly appreciated..

Hello Fueley,
I can see that you are running JDK 1.3.1_01 on a Windows OS of some kind. On different Windows OS you have a a different place to set CLASSPATH environment variable. For instance, in Windows/95 you can set CLASSPATH environment variable in the autoexec.bat file. While in Windows/NT you set CLASSPATH environment variable in the Environment tab of the System Properties of the Control Panel.
First clear your classpath by typing in a DOS window:
C:> set CLASSPATH=
Then point your classpath to the current directory. The current directory is indicated by a period. The quotation marks are not needed.
To set your classpath, type in a DOS window:
C:> set CLASSPATH=.
If you want to, you can add other paths your classpath, for example, the dt.jar and tools.jar
C:> set CLASSPATH=.;C:\jdk1.3.1_01\lib\dt.jar;C:\jdk1.3.1_01\lib\tools.jar
See http://java.sun.com/j2se/1.3/install-windows.html#Classpath for more information.

No. With the amount of information you've provided it's impossible to offer a potential solution. We can't see your computer so we need to know the details of your problem and setup, i.e.:
what version of iPhoto are you using?
what system version are you running?
what do you see when iPhoto opens?
what fixes have you tried?
where is your library located?
did you apply any updates or upgrades just prior to the problem occurring?
are you running a "managed" or "referenced" library?
what type of Mac?
how much free space on your boot drive?
For the iPhone issue ask in the iPhone forum.

I still don't get iCloud

Hello everyone.
I have been tempted to use iCloud on my iPhone to sync with my Mac and in the future, with an iPad.
I got tired of a 10 hour backup that wouldn't finish so I cancelled it and just decided to wait.
Now that I wanna take the plunge I still don't get how iCloud works, for some scenarios.
For instance, I don't understand the difference between Storage and Backup?
So I don't know if I'm correct to exemplify this scenario:
iWork's Pages has iCloud enabled.
Now suppose you have an iPhone and an iPad.
On Friday, at 10 PM you make a document (DOC1) on Pages on iPhone and close it. Now you go to sleep and it automatically makes an iCloud Backup since it's plugged to energy and your WiFi is on.
On Saturday, you make another document on Pages (DOC2) on iPhone at 10 AM. Then doing whatever required for it to appear into your iPad (opening Pages on iPad?) you are able to see DOC1 and DOC2 on your iPad.
Now at 2 PM Saturday your iPhone falls down a cliff and explodes into a million pieces. You take your other iPhone (you're rich remember?) and restore it from your Backup (Friday night) so after it's done you open Pages on your "other" iPhone and BANG, you have DOC1 there (since that's the last the backup did), or do you have DOC2 as well since it was saved to the cloud as "Storage" as well??????
Suppose you have an app like AwesomeNote that DOESN'T have iCloud support. What is going to happen? I assume it will only save the settings for the app, but then it WON'T automatically sync to other devices? So basically it will ONLY be useful shall you need to restore from a iCloud Backup but NOT shall you wanna sync your notes between iOS devices?
So as you can see I don't understand the difference between app settings stored on iCloud per developer's enabling (new version of app after iOS 5) and app settings in an iCloud backup.
I still think there is a limbo between commercials and real life. Or maybe I'm just either too complicated, too advanced or too much of an idiot to understand what most people seem to just simply assume and move on with their lives.
Oh and one last thing, could I use iCloud to just save "data" to work in sync with devices (like in the commercial) but ask it NOT to backup anything and just use the old iTunes backup for that? (In which case I'd have to assume iCloud could potentially save in a given timeframe 3 versions of the same settings of an app, two for the backups for your iDevices -iPhone and iPad- and other for just "sync").

Welcome to the Apple Community.
In your opening scenario, you don't need to restore from back up at all. Doc 1 & 2, will be in iCloud, so even if you have to go purchase a new phone and set it up, when you enable iCloud it will push the two docs to your device.
No you don't need to back up to iCloud, you can still use the sync features and continue to back up via iTunes, indeed unless you don't have a computer or have infrequent access to one, I'd recommend this is what you do.
Not sure what happens when you have the same document open at the same time, there is a conflict feature, but I haven't seen how it works yet.
