Sysex Fader broken in 8.01

Anyone else notice that Sysex faders in 8.01 are modifying the value of controllers within them whether or not you have events selected in the faders list view.
This essentially broke a number of my environment objects and I can't seem to come up with a work around short of using 8.00
I've also noticed that most macros created in 8.0 or earlier break when copied from one project file to another under 8.01. It seems objects within the macros are becoming mysteriously uncabled during the copy operation.
I've noticed this with about 90% of the macros I had originally created on 8.0 or pre-8.0 versions of Logic.
I've found that unpacking macros in 8.0 and then re-packing them in 8.01 is the only way to get around this.
Strange.
I love it when a .01 release makes me completely rebuild my autoload.

Not exactly the same issue but I had terrible issues with sending sysex faders and transformers - the sysex event list is really garbled (the display corrupts and the values are virtually impossible to set/move correctly).
After half an hour of frustration trying to get it to send a correct sysex byte string, I went back to LP7 and completed the task in two minutes...

Sysex Faders in the Environment

Hi all,
I'm trying to build a remote control environment for a Yamaha FS1R synth. I've managed ok so far but have stumbled upon a problem. The FS1R is 4 part multitimbral, so instead of building 4 environments i would like to have 4 buttons that switch between the four parts. All the faders use Sysex messages to communicate with the synth and one part of that message defines the part number. How can i make a button or fader that changes that particular part of the sysex message?
Here's an example of a sysex message used for one of the faders:
F0 43 10 5E 40 00 57 00 00 00 VAL
the 40 in there defines part 1, so to use that fader for part 2 it would have to be changed to 41 (42 for part 3 and 43 for part 4).
I'd appreciate any ideas you might have.
Thanks

Logic Environment Sys.faders support a very useful smart capture feature which was broken in L6 and L8 and fixed in L8.1 as far as I remember.
Right now I'm away of my Mac showing you a simple scheme (below) in Logic 5 on my PC Laptop. Anyway nothing is changed exept the Environment objects interface so you must get it to work.
1. Create a Monitor object and name it "Enviro IN" or what else.
2. Cable a bunch of Sys. Buttons, Faders serially to an Instrument object which is set to your Yamaha hardware midi port.
3. Open the Sys fader/button dialog and arm the "IN" capture button so it will wait.
Operate your external sysex parameter to learn the Environment sys button/fader. It may capture several messages, so you can select delete all additional and leave only one message. Keep in mind before close the Environment Sys. button/fader dialog to SELECT the message. I.e when the message is selected inside an Environment Sysex fader then the value will be determined according the Fader range set in its Inspector. If your button range is set to say 0-50, then the selected message will follow your button range automatically - same for the continuous faders etc.
Later if you decide to make serious Environment editor you can try to assign "capture' sysex massages as fader "IN" definition, and use some CC# dummy assignments as fader "Out" definition. You will need to patch some Transformer objects set to "Sysex Mappers" template. In other words this new Editor scheme will respond to your external Yamaha sys messages and in the same time it will send Sys messages to your Yamaha but note - you will be able to Edit the dummy CC# messages using Hyper Draw in the Arrange or even use third external controller which will control your Yamaha using standard CC# messages etc.

Is audio fade partially broken in the latest upgrade to 1.2.1 ?

It seems like in V 1.2.1 audio only fades out correctly at the end of a video when BOTH "fade in from black" AND "fade out from black" are ON. It is better than before (no fade at all) but I don't always want the "fade in from black". Is there a trick I am missing to control each feature independently ?

Hi Cloyd,
If you are having an issue with your iPhone restarting unexpectedly, I would suggest that you troubleshoot using the steps in this article -
If your iOS device restarts, displays the Apple logo, or powers off while you're using it - Apple Support
In particular, since you mention that you are already using the latest version of iOS -
If you still see this issue after updating, contact Apple Support.
Thanks for using Apple Support Communities.
Best,

Web Banner Image Fade

I'm an experienced Java Architect with no experience of JavaFX. I'm trying to develop a proof of concept Flash-style web banner to see if it is feasible to replace existing Flash elements on my client's site with JavaFX elements, thus removing the need for a costly proprietary RIA toolkit.
Now the banner in question takes a physical URL from an XML document, loads a set number (also configured in a simple XML document) of images horizontally across the banner. It fades each image out independently and once invisible, it replaces that image with another random image from the URL and fades back in (ensuring it doesn't already exist in the other visible images). Whilst doing this, a quote is displayed across the images in a colour set by the XML file, and this quote fades in and out as well, changing to another quote from a set list, and fading back in once the new quote is found.
Now I'm sure I can figure out some of the more typical functionality that I come across with Java, C++, etc. on a daily basis, such as interacting with an XML document, and loading images from URLs (perhaps), but the actual timing, fading, working loading new images and quotes at the right time, etc. is all new as I tend to develop business systems and not applications with visual effects. So help is needed on how to best go about doing this. I've begun with a very basic attempt at a Stage and tips on going forward would be appreciated.
Also, as a side note, in JavaFX how would I extend the Stage and Scenes, and any other object, essentially, and then load them as variables...? remember I'm an OO-oriented Java and C++ programmer, so I understand inheritance, but cannot seem to find the right syntax in JavaFX after an hour working on this basic Flash-eliminating challenge.
My code is below:
package ribbon;
import javafx.animation.Interpolator;
import javafx.animation.KeyFrame;
import javafx.animation.Timeline;
import javafx.scene.paint.Color;
import javafx.scene.Scene;
import javafx.scene.shape.Rectangle;
import javafx.scene.text.Font;
import javafx.scene.text.Text;
import javafx.stage.Stage;
//capture the dynamic width and height of the scene
var width: Number = bind scene.width;
var height: Number = bind scene.height;
var quote: Text = Text {
    font: Font {
        size: 16
    x: 10,
    y: 30,
    fill: Color.RED
    opacity: bind angle
    content: "Interesting quote goes here..."
var scene: Scene = Scene {
    fill: Color.BLACK
    content: [
        Rectangle {
            x: 0,
            y: bind height - 30
            width: bind width,
            height: 25
            arcHeight: 5
            arcWidth: 5
            fill: Color.BLACK
            opacity: 0.5
        quote,
var angleStart = 1.0;
var angle = angleStart;
var fade = Timeline {
    keyFrames: [
        KeyFrame {
            time: 0s
            values: angle => angleStart tween Interpolator.LINEAR
        KeyFrame {
            time: 3s
            values: angle => 0.2 tween Interpolator.LINEAR
    autoReverse: true
    repeatCount: 1000
var stage = Stage {
    title: "Photo Ribbon"
    width: 680
    height: 100
    scene: scene
fade.play();
stage;Thanks in advance.

If the banner image is not displaying, it is either not in an acceptable web file format (optimized for web as jpg, gif or png). Or it is corrupted. Or the path to the image file on server is broken.

Fade In/Out not working

Hi
Applying Fade Ins or Outs seemed to have stopped working. Using either the crossfade tool or specifying them in the Inspector, they appear graphically correct, but audio-wise, no fade.
Crossfading between regions is working fine.
Using ordinary uncompressed mono aifs.
Haven't used Logic for a couple of months, so wondered if something has broken/changed in the last couple of minor updates.
Are there any factors, other than audio file-type, that will prevent fades from working?
Using Logic 9.1.3 on OS 10.6.5
Thanks for any feedback
Steve

Hi
I'd do a boatload of simpler troubleshooting before I did a complete re-install!
Try these steps when you have some downtime:
1) Only a specific project affected, or same for any (including starting from a default blank template rather than any user-made one)?
Specific project.... corrupted or other problem?, any project... "Logic" problem?
2)
Login as a different user (if need be make a new user account with 'Admin' access). Repeat test 1
If the problem goes away, it's likely Logic Preferences in the original user account are corrupted.
(Note there could be other reasons.... ! )

Gapless playback or cross fade: Hobson's choice!

My mini dies, so I got a nano... find so far, until I discover iTunes calculating gapless playback information.
What's it going to take Apple to fix this? How hard is it to offer one or the other?
I should not have to choose between cross fade or gapless, I should be able to choose neither!
If I have cross fade, the audio books with no silences at the beginning and end of each file have the words faded together.
If I have gapless, the stupid software picks the wrong silence and I end up jumping over audio. If there is too long a silence in a pause in an mp3, it seems to be marked as the end of the track and I am jumped to the next one.
Come on Apple! If you don't fix this, I'll have to give GtkPod a try.
Jim
mutt Windows XP Pro ...and Linux! Centos, Fedora, RH, you name it.

Opinions of users do affect my decisions, but I really am very careful about how I make those decisions. I may sound like a mad reactionary twit and I probably was until I found GtkPod, but that's not all I am.
I'm really close to getting a Mac in my life now that their Mach/BSD hybrid is the base instead of Finder and the toolbox ROM. Linux is mostly taking care of the heavy lifting for me, but I need a consumer OS sometimes. I just can't run Vista, so that leaves MacOS X for a consumer OS for me, and it's not a bad choice.
Where did you find a link to http://www.apple.com/feedback/itunesapp.html? I spent a long time trying to find some way to communicate with them and that's a reason for my low opinion at the moment. I'll be chargrined if I just missed it.
You really have properly chastised me, and I deserved quite a bit of it, but... I do have to take issue with your last point.
The idea that an audiobook can't be an MP3 because an MP3 files are music is not true. I guess iTunes/iPod sees it that way, but that is changing. They have added "remember my position" to MP3 files and made it easy to set on a multi-selection, too.
I think you will find MP3 audio books are very common everywhere but at Audible. Isis Publishing from the UK (Pratchett) and Blackstone Audio Books (Heinlein, Bujold) both use MP3 for there audio books. 32K or 64K Bps and mono or stereo make for very small audio books that play anywhere.
DRM is broken by design, so I've just avoided Audible and iTunes and looked elsewhere. The iPods are the best audio players out there, though, so I am happy to use them. Until they get all gapless on me
Thanks for the link.

Flash CS3 Fade tween nightmare

Mac OSX 10.5.2 Leopard
Flash CS3 Trial
Hi All,
My text fade tween seems to be corrupt. The font (Arial)
shows bits missing and other bits filled in?
The text field is static, I have broken the text apart twice
and the tween shows arrows between the key frames. But when I test
movie it looks really weird. Sometimes it even moves the text
about!!!????
I have tried embedding the font and this has not made any
difference.
Please help.

By weird i mean the text has diagonal sections missing. The
tips of the characters flicker and sometimes just one letter fades
in and out. Quite random.

Volume fade in at the beginning of a song

When you pause/restart a track the volume fades out then back in again. I don't particularly like this, but I can understand why it's a feature. It would be nice to turn it off though.
Anyway, my issue is when Spotify fades in at the beginning of a track. This happens when you select a new song or when you slide back to the start of a song using the seek bar. For obvious reasons, this is not ideal for a lot of songs.
Does anyone know if there's any way to stop this...there's nothing in Settings or anything.

I'm not sure how processes and threads work, but it appears that the Harmonic widget actually saves the lyrics it downloads in the song file. (Take a look at Get Info > Lyrics on a song after you have started playing it with the widget enabled.)
I know when I have done some other changes (song name, artist name, etc.) on songs that are playing then there is sometimes a small pause while it saves. I assume the same thing is happening.
The Harmonic widget looks nice, but has some serious problems at this point. I have 1.5.1 and most of the lyrics I see are for incorrect songs. I have been trying to get the 1.5.2 download, but their link is broken with no fix eta. (see http://www.mindquirk.com/forum/viewtopic.php?t=385) Until then I have deleted it and things seem to be working fine!

IMovie '09 will not let me manually fade out music

When working in iMovie '09. I want to be able to fade out my music at the end of my movie, but everytime I clip on Manual it automatically switches back to Automatic. It was doing this to my 2nd to last audio clip, until I added another clip. But now I am to the end of my movie and I will not be adding any more audio. Can anyone help?

I figured it out... for me anyway.
It all actually started when I added a "picture in picture" video clip. I also had an iTunes track which was broken or missing.
1. Audio Ducking suddenly reversed itself for any audio in the project inserted after the PIP clip. Instead of ducking the background sounds, the audio ducked itself and left all background audio at full volume.
2. All fade in/out stopped working but again only for any audio in the project inserted after the PIP clip.
I removed the PIP clip and re-inserted the bad iTunes track. Almost all the audio fixed itself. Whichever clips were still not fading or ducking, I deleting and re-inserted. It worked.

Cannot render audio fade and/or transition and/or title

I am at my wits end and ready to blow up the computer on this one.
I have about a dozen
DV-AVI clips, captured from a Sony camcorder via Firewire. I am editing them into 7 scenes. I tried this with the first two scenes and I did a test Burn to File, viewed the VOB in Windows Media Player and all worked well. I then added 5 more scenes, all with the same transition recipe between scenes, did another Burn to File and found that past the first two scenes, everything was black. WMP showed video playing, but it was just solid black past the first two scenes.
I scoured the forum looking for clues and hours later I have absolutely no idea what is going on. Here are my specs and what I have tried. I also attached a screen shot showing the 3 areas on my timeline that show different states of rendering (or non-rendering).
Computer specs: PreE8, Win7 64bit, intel i7, ATI card, 6 GB RAM, 400+GB free HD
DV-AVI clips, some with the In and Out points trimmed a few seconds.
I added to each clip Audio Fade In and Fade Out.
Between each clip is the following: Dip to Black, Title, Dip to Black
I added a Menu Marker to each title. They all appear on the menu as they should.
Background rendering is OFF.
I am still new to PreE so I still don't quite understand the whole rendering thing. But as near as I can tell, that is the heart of the problem, but I cannot for the life of me see how to fix it. As seen on my screen shot, the first two transions are rendered green. Now skip ahead to the fourth transition and it is red. Zooming in, the red goes from the start of the audio fade out of the previous clip, through the title, then stops at the start of the next clip. So I thought it is a transition, the title, menu marker or the audio fade out causing a problem. however, even when I removed ALL these elements from between and on the 2nd and 3rd clips (the third transition) it is STILL red! And yes I am pressing the Enter key to render. There are no effects, keyframes, or anything on the adjacent clips and it won't render. The only thing I noticed is now the unrendered part is the first 4 seconds of the later clip.
Why on earth do the first two transitions work, but the rest won't? Why won't it render after I removed everything except the plain DV-AVI clips?

Thanks Hunt for all your help, information and encouragement. I have been able to return to my project (I saved the original with no changes) and was able to adjust the Work Area, Render and Burn to Folder (VOB). When I tested the VOB, everything worked great! So that was the problem. Hurrah!
FYI--in PreE 8, the Burn to Folder option does NOT have a "Export Work Area" button, BUT the Share to Computer (mpeg) DOES, so that is something good to know. Obviously the Burn to Folder option in PrE 8 defaults to burning the Work Area. For my small project, the Work Area concept is not a necessary feature, but I can see how for larger more complicated projects it is a good way to manage resources.
Now that I have had some time away and a couple glasses of wine :-) I can be more positive about what I learned. In my travails, I learned a lot about rendering, keyframes, the work area, stumbled across a way to easily search only the Premiere Elements subforum, and a lot about stop markers (which seems to cause some black-screen problems when too near to menu markers). So it was not a complete waste of time. Oh yeah, and thanks for the compliment on my post info. In my forum travels, I also learned what information is asked for over and over to get more directly to an answer and just put it in the first go-round. And it paid off!
Well, back to the shop. My husband thinks I am crazy for using this aggravating software (I used to use Windows Movie Maker) but I keep telling him, PreE 8 is like a Ferrari. The problem is that it is temperamental and often broken down in the shop causing a lot of frustration. But when it runs well, it is oh such a sweet thrill, so slick and powerful, that I just can't give it up and go back to the Honda.

IMovie: how to fade audio

I'm using the latest version of iMovie, and I can't get the fade-in, fade-out options on audio to work all the time. They work sometimes, even though I do the same commands each time. Any suggestions?

Broken iPhone 5 LCD screen.

I recently dropped my iphone 5 face down on the ground. I think that the LCD screen is broken becasue there is black and white vertical lines going down the screen, and then it would fade away. The next minute it is fully functional. Am I right, and if I am, how much is it going to cost to replace?

for an out of warranty iphone 5 at the apple store could be at least $200 and some change..

Compiz Wallpaper broken refresh

Just updated my x86_64 Testing system, and noticed xorg server 1.9 come thru...
upon restart Compiz Fusion's wallpaper system is broken (I was using this instead of Gnome's) - it shows the Gnome desktop wallpaper, and any movement of windows leaves a hideous artifact - ghosting- behind. Just like being drunk, and turning too quickly...only I haven't been drinking ... and the artifact doesn't fade.
Turn off Compiz's wallpaper, and the artifacts disappear. Turn It back on , and the same artifacts are back where they were, but still no compiz wallpaper. Tried loose binding, indirect rendering, adjusting vsync manually.

My iPhone 6 wont come on when home button is pressed and screen pixels out and fades. Any one have fix or same problem?

My iPhone 6 wont come on when home button is pressed and screen pixels out and fades. Any one have fix or same problem?
When I press the home page the screen activates but stays black. I have to press the side button to turn if off then may have to repeat several times to get my phone to come on. Sometimes while using the phone the screen will become pixelly and start to fade away leaving a white screen with vertical line on it. I have to use the close button to make it go away.

If one of the two major buttons of your phone is broken, it is unfair to expect normal operation to be available. The first resolution to any problem involves a usable Home button, as does the second option for resolving any problem. Get your Home button fixed.

Exporting slideshow results in unwanted music fade

Hi all, I sure hope someone can help. When I create a slideshow in iPhoto '09 and set music to it, it plays back great. But when I export the slideshow, using any method (specifically to .m4v or .mov), the music fades by the end of the slideshow. It's disconcerting, because that's not how it plays back in iPhoto. It's also troublesome because it's not what I want! It's not even a normal fade over the last few seconds - it starts early and goes very slowly, lasting the final 30-60 seconds. Bizarre. Anyway, I need to get rid of it. I've searched every option to no avail, in both iPhoto and iTunes (where I'm pulling my music from). Please help - I have a project due on Thursday that I've got to fix this for!
I am aware I can export the slideshow with no sound, import to iMovie and add my music there. I'm prepared for that contingency, but I'd rather not if I don't have to. Does anyone have an answer for me? Is there an option I'm missing somewhere, or any other way of getting rid of this unwanted fade? Thanks in advance for any help.

Stewy and others, after much experimenting, I figured out the problem: when you have your slideshow set to "Fit Slideshow to Music", it fades the music slowly and early. If you have your slideshow set to play a certain amount of seconds per slide, the music plays fine. Note that the music plays fine both ways in iPhoto itself, which is why it was so tricky to track this down, but when you export your slideshow, "Fit Slideshow to Music" = bad. I don't consider adding a black slide to the end to be a satisfactory solution; it still throws all the timing off. The only real solution (that I could find) is to consider the "Fit Slideshow" feature to be broken (which it is - I hope Apple is reading this), and not use it. Instead, just manually fit the slideshow yourself. It's a pain and it takes a few minutes, but the resulting export is worth it.
Apple - this is definitely a bug. It's also worth noting that it only happened AFTER I updated a freshly installed iPhoto '09 to the latest update, so it was a bug introduced in an update. Straight out of the box, this doesn't happen (though there are other worse bugs that are fixed by the update, so it's still worth updating and handling this particular bug manually). I sure hope this bug is fixed soon, though, because the "Fit Slideshow" feature is very useful, and having to do it manually *****.
Hope this helps others out there - I searched Google quite a bit before giving up and posting here.
