Stretching and bouncing texts

Hello all -
I am doing multimedia edits using photos, video and texts that I generate using the typewriter function in Final Cut Pro.
No matter what format I compress these projects into - HD264, MPEG4, Apple Animation, or Flash -- the texts always stretch and bounce, especially where I have put dissolves.
It was suggested to me that this may have something to do with size ratios, rather than compression issues.
Any ideas how to STOP my texts from stretching and bouncing?
Many thanks - MP Nunan

Not two familiar with FCP, however, I am a video editor and motion graphics guy by trade.
Without seeing it I can only guess at a possible cause.
NTSC video uses a frame size of 720x480 using "non-square" pixels (4x3 video uses a .9 pixel aspect, and widescreen uses a 1.2 pixel aspect). Computers use square pixels. So an square pixel equivalent of NTSC video would be 720x540 or 640x480. 640x480 being a pretty common export size for computer full size video or 320x240 and 160x120 being common for web video.
Anyway, the reason this is important is that since you are mixing various different sources together you are dealing with different pixel aspect ratios...mixing pixel aspect ratios without accounting for it can stretch and distort various parts of the video.
In most cases editing software and motion graphics applications can accommodate various pixels aspects, but only if it knows what it is dealing with. Often when importing graphics you may need to tell the software that the graphic you are importing is using square or non-square pixels.
Depending on how you set up your FCP project, it also has to create pieces of video to make your text and transitions, it will be creating these using a specific pixel aspect (in NTSC video project this will be non-square). I would assume, since I've seen this on other editing software, that when dealing with two different sources using different pixel aspect ratios, the software has to pick one when creating the transitions and other things, causing those areas to stretch or seem to bounce when it goes from one area to the next.

  • Adobe Reader preferences issue, text stretched and zoomed in.

    I have a user with Adobe Reader 11.0.2 installed and cannot change his preferences and always receives a "Screen reader" prompt when opening a PDF.  The window is stretched accross the screen and the only way to close it is Tab - Enter.  The preferences are the same way, theres no way to check the settings because the window is too zoomed in and the text is too large. I have already tried uninstalling it and reinstalling, deleted all the folders and reg keys to do a clean install as well as under multiple profiles. Same issue each time.  Has anyone else seen this issue?
    Any advice would be great.

    I believe I have seen this where an essential Windows font is removed.

  • Text - Drop and Bounce ?

    Is there a way to use the drop and bounce with a FCP clip within the text throughout the drop and bounce ? Can someone tell me how.

    I can get the clip in the text in FCP but i really need to be on a white background.
    If I read your post correctly, all you need to to do is improt the Motion project back into FCP and drop the whole thing onto a matte generator clip that you have set to be white.
    That does not work for me. Am i missing something else here ?
    Your posts are not very clear sop we're having trouble trying to figure out what to tell you to try. Which part of Cert's advice are you nat able to get to work for you? Are you sure you know how to do what he's described or is there something that is filing in the results?

  • Bouncing text

    I have the problem in Adobe Premiere elements 11 with bouncing text (efects "focus" and "blur"). You can see it on video:
    And if I used these effects, the program is unstable and falling (in editing the effects or in rendering process).
    Is it problem only on my PC or is this the error of Adobe Premiere elements 11?

    when I use mpeg2 1920x1080/25i, the pc is working on his limits (almost 8 Gb RAM, processor at 100%) and Adobe cannot render it - the rendering is stoped at 99% and Adobe stop working, you can see picture below. IS IT NORMAL, IF I RENDERING THE 30 SEC CLIP WITH TEXT ANIMATION ONLY?:
    MP4 1920x1080/25p is better for rendering:
    If I render to mpeg2 the text is jumping a lot. If I render to mp4 the text is jumping considerably less, but still jumping :-(
    I will upload mpeg2 and mp4 videos in few minutes.
    And I can see this error measage:
    Is it possible that incorrect run of adobe causing czech windows?

  • Lines over images and around text in Captivate SWF file

    My project works & views fine in captivate and when published, it views fine on my mac - through flash player and browsers. But when I send a swf file to the client to view they see odd lines above and below images.
    But they dont see the lines when they view the htm file within a browser - then it views fine.
    The lines only appear when there's text over an image.
    Screen shots attached.
    My captivate project was created by importing a Powerpoint document, with images and text on each slide.
    I've changed the optimisation / slide quality through prefrences and on each slide to the highest quality.
    I've also un-selected the advanced slide compression.
    Is there another thing I can try to iron out these lines?
    Some of the images within Powerpoint are stretched, would this cause the lines?
    Is it a flash player issue?
    Or a zooming issue?
    Any help is much appreciated!

    Thanks Lilybiri,
    I am a new user & just finding my way
    I understand how to publish and how Captivate creates a zipped file with a SWF, HTML, JS and CSS files etc. (Im using Captivate 7). 
    How do you send Captivate projects to clients for review / approval before you supply them with the whole project zipped file?
    So far I've been sending them the swf file to check. And have had troubles with them viewing the lines over images and around text. Even though I cant see the lines.
    I need the client to see what I'm seeing - a project without any lines.

  • How to stretch and shrink with browser resize

    Is there a simple way to force stretch and shrink all
    components and text as the browser window resizes? I tried 100%
    width and height in the application tag but that only resizes the
    main container. I want to also resize eveything inside the main
    container and all the subcontainers including all text and all
    graphic objects. With SVG this was simple. I also tried the
    "Resize" effect but again that just resized the container and not
    the elements inside the container. Any suggestions would be greatly
    appreciated. Thanks.

    Each child container is based on it's parent container. So if
    you set a child height and width to 100%, it will stick to the
    height and width constraints of the parent container. In other
    words, you have to set the constraints from the top most parent
    container, down to the bottom container and components. See this
    slight modification of your example below. Setting both panels to
    height/width = 100%, both panels resize accordingly as the window
    is resized.
    <?xml version="1.0"?>
    <mx:Application xmlns:mx="
    http://www.adobe.com/2006/mxml"
    creationComplete="onResize();" resize="onResize();">
    <mx:Script>
    <![CDATA[
    [Bindable] public var thisWidth:Number;
    private function onResize():void{
    thisWidth = this.width;
    if (this.width >= 1020){
    pnl1.setStyle("fontSize", 10);
    if (this.width < 1020 && this.width >= 500){
    pnl1.setStyle("fontSize", 8);
    if (this.width < 500){
    pnl1.setStyle("fontSize", 5);
    ]]>
    </mx:Script>
    <mx:Panel title="Panel 1" width="100%" height="100%"
    id="pnl1" fontSize="10">
    <mx:Panel title="Panel 2" width="100%" height="100%">
    <mx:Canvas width="100%" height="100%">
    <mx:Button label="Submit" horizontalCenter="0"
    verticalCenter="0"/>
    <mx:Label text="{thisWidth}" right="10" bottom="10"/>
    </mx:Canvas>
    </mx:Panel>
    </mx:Panel>
    </mx:Application>
    Changing the font size is not as easy. All I can think of is
    setting the font size based on the current size of the window, as
    in my example above.

  • What is the difference between"export audio and "bounce"?

    What is the difference between the "export audio" and "bounce" functions?
    Do plug ins get saved with the created BWF(broadcast wave files)in the "export" function?
    Or is the "bounce" method the required function to enable plugins embedded in BWF files?
    Also I noticed that the "convert to SDII file" produces files not readable by ProTools.
    It was my understanding that using the convert to SD II files via the audio bin is used, it would produce BWF files for use in Protools.And if you use symbols like / in your track names the files won't get converted or bounced!
    Also would it not be cool if LE8 had a feature that could render BWF files small enough to send via internet file sharing and transfer apps, in other words a built in file transfer feature. Am I asking for too much.

    Export audio is good to move the tracks to another application or computer for further editing.
    Bounce renders the mix into a stereo track in 2 basic ways: PCM, i.e. uncompressed, or compressed (like AAC, mp3 etc.).
    PCM can be AIFF, Broadcast WAV (even if it's written only WAV those are BWF), and SDII that's the standard file type of ProTools.
    Note that PT doesn't use interleaved stereo files but two separate files for left and right channels, i.e. filename.l and filename.r and if you save in this way PT will accept those files for sure.
    Uncompressed audio files cannot be compacted (in fact, that's why they're called uncompressed).
    These days there are a lot of Internet services that permit to transfer several Gb (up to 5) for free.
    If you are thinking of something like Digidelivery then you should put your attention towards Digi's products, not Apple's ones.
    cheers

  • Need help making ball move and bounce off of sides of JPanel

    I'm currently working on a program that creates a ball of random color. I'm trying to make the ball move around the JPanel it is contained in and if it hits a wall it should bounce off of it. I have been able to draw the ball and make it fill with a random color. However, I cannot get it to move around and bounce off the walls. Below is the code for the class that creates the ball. Should I possible be using multithreads? As part of the project requirements I will need to utilizes threads and include a runnable. However, I wanted to get it working with one first and than add to it as the final product needs to include new balls being added with each mouse click. Any help would be appreciated.
    Thanks
    import java.awt.Color;
    import java.awt.Graphics;
    import javax.swing.JPanel;
    public class Ball extends JPanel{
        Graphics g;
        int rval; // red color value
        int gval; // green color value
        int bval; // blue color value
        private int x = 1;
        private int y = 1;
        private int dx = 2;
        private int dy = 2;
        public void paintComponent(Graphics g){
            for(int counter = 0; counter < 100; counter++){
                // randomly chooses red, green and blue values changing color of ball each time
                rval = (int)Math.floor(Math.random() * 256);
                gval = (int)Math.floor(Math.random() * 256);
                bval = (int)Math.floor(Math.random() * 256);
                super.paintComponent(g);
                g.drawOval(0,0,30,30);   // draws circle
                g.setColor(new Color(rval,gval,bval)); // takes random numbers from above and creates RGB color value to be displayed
                g.fillOval(x,y,30,30); // adds color to circle
                move(g);
        } // end paintComponent
        public void move(Graphics g){
            g.fillOval(x, y, 30, 30);
            x += dx;
            y += dy;
            if(x < 0){
                x = 0;
                dx = -dx;
            if (x + 30 >= 400) {
                x = 400 - 30;
                dx = -dx;
            if (y < 0) {
                y = 0;
                dy = -dy;
            if (y + 30 >= 400) {
                y = 400 - 30;
                dy = -dy;
            g.fillOval(x, y, 30, 30);
            g.dispose();
    } // end Ball class

    Create a bounding box using the size of the panel. Each time you move the ball, check that it's still inside the box. If it isn't, then change it's direction. You know where the ball is, (x, y), so just compare those values to the boundary values.

  • I have an iphone 4s and the text i send to a friend with a galaxy 4s he is not receiving any help?

    i have an Iphone 4S and the text i send to a friend with a galaxy 4s he is not receiving. Any help?

    Then it's sending as SMS and not iMessage (that's good) so deleting the contact probably didn't help. It also seems iMessage isn't redirecting his texts as he's not used and apple device on the account previously. Can he receive a picture message from you instead? Does he receive texts from other  apple devices? (iPhones,pods/pads) try sending a text through Verizon online using your account on a web browser. If it is also blocked then it confirms the issue is with his device, well at least points you there rather than guessing if it's yours or his or both. There's some ideas, let me know- Joe
