***TO APPLE ENGINEERS***   FCP7 SmoothCam Effect KNOWN BUG

Hey Apple Engineers
The smoothcam effect in FCP7 has a known bug where the video is "jittery" on export. It seems to be associated with the interlacing because when viewed as de-interlaced, it works fine.
This has been a known issue and complaint when FCP7 first came out and it still has not been fixed.
FCP6 was the first to feature this effect and it worked great. Everyone, including myself, has raved about it and there were no issues. So how could you take a wonderfully working effect and create a bug in FCP7?
I am hoping this post will get your attention so that you will finally fix this problem.
I hope you read YOUR own discussion boards to LISTEN to YOUR customers and their problems with YOUR software. I've also notified Apple through your tech support but all they can do is "make a report".
FIX THIS LINGERING PROBLEM ALREADY PLEASE!!

  • I have a MacBook Pro 5,4 running OSX 10.6.8 and Safari 5.1.10. A website i like has a known bug with 5.1.10 and recommends I install a newer version of Safari or use Firefox or Chrome. Just looking for advice on the best approach. Thanks!

    Unfortunately, Safari cannot be updated past 5.1.10 on a Mac running v10.6.8.
    So, the options are to upgrade to a newer OS X or use Firefox or  Chrome.

  • Problem with Arabic font: In certain contexts, when writing Arabic with vowel signs (fatha, damma, kasra, sukun) a sequence of sukun   fatha/damma etc. would reverse automatically. Is this a known bug?

    Problem with Arabic font: In certain contexts, when writing Arabic with vowel signs (fatha, damma, kasra, sukun) a sequence of sukun + fatha/damma etc. would reverse automatically. Is this a known bug?
    Example: عَيْنٌ
    would automatically convert to عَيُنْ
    Funnily, it doesn't seem to happen here, but it does when entering text in a web interface (using Firefox, font Bayan) and when using Text Edit.
    Seems to be a problem of a specific font, as e.g. Arial MS Unicode works fine. Any hints?
    Thank you!

    You can't do Arabic on MS Word for Mac.  This app has never supported RTL scripts, so you need to use something else.  Mellel is best, but Pages 5, TextEdit, Nisus Writer, Open/LibreOffice should work OK.
    You switch between languages by using the "flag" menu at the top right of the screen or by using the keyboard shortcuts apple/command plus space.  Go to system prefs/keyboard/shortcuts to make sure that is activated.
    To see which key does what, you use Keyboard  Viewer.
    http://support.apple.com/kb/PH13746
    You place vowels on letters by typing the key for the vowel after the key for the letter.  The vowels are on the option/alt keys, option/alt + a gives you َ

  • FINAL CUT STUDIO PRO - CAN'T GET "SMOOTHCAM" EFFECT

    PROBLEM:
    FINAL CUT STUDIO PRO - CAN’T GET “SMOOTHCAM” EFFECT
    I use a Macbook Pro 17”
    Software: Leopard 10.5. External LaCie Hard Drive 1TB
    I upgraded my Computer Software to Leopard and reinstalled Final Cut Pro and Motion on my Laptop. It worked fine with SmoothCam, but as I had lost too much space on my Laptop Harddrive, I decided to reinstall the full program, choosing custom location the external LaCie drive.
    Since than Final Cut Pro can’t find SmoothCam and it asks to reinstall SmoothCam.
    ➢ ./library/Plug-Ins/FX /Plug< Not Existing
    ➢ ./library-Application Support/ProApps/Internal Plug-Ins/FX Plug<
    This file is empty.
    My project I work on at the moment is a film, where I had done a lot of SmoothCams, but since reinstalling it will not find the effect anymore, it asks to reinstall SmoothCam.
    In the mean time I tried several times to start from scratch and reinstall the whole Program, but now I’m not even able to register anymore, it will not accept the correct Registration No.
    I would appreciate anybodies help very much.

    I had a similar problem when I upgraded my MacBook Pro to leopard as well. This is what I did (after several trial and errors)...
    1.) Wipe the computer again and reinstall leopard. I suggest doing a custom install and just leave out things you do not need as they just take up valuable space.
    2.) Reinstall FCS but DO NOT let it install the additional content as we will get to that part later. Just install the core programs themselves and uncheck the boxes to install the additional content.
    3.) After FCS is installed re-run the installer and install the content but change the location to your external drive. At this point I created a folder on my external called "Final Cut Studio" and Created separate folders for each program and its content.
    4.) After you have reinstalled the content on to your external drive, go into each program and point them to where the extra content is kept. <--- This step and step 3 arent really needed, but they make things easy for when you have to wipe your computer. This has saved me LOTS of time on reinstalling FCP because now all you have to do is install the core programs from now on.
    You once you start FCP all your effects should be there. The main thing here is to do a complete wipe of the system and rebuild. Not just an uninstall / re-install. As far as your registration problem your going to have to call apple. I had a problem with an old serial number where it would not take it anymore after updating the software to 6.0.2 from 6.0. They can give you a new number to use and it does not take too long.
    Hope that helps you out some.

  • Are you aware of a possible bug in version 3.6.23? In the browser, for example, "two/" appears with the slash through the "o". Is this a known bug?

    Are you aware of a possible bug in version 3.6.23? In the browser, for example, "two/" appears with the slash through the "o". Is this a known bug?
    When the same text is view in another browsers it appears correctly as "two/".
    I've checked, and the same problem appears in Firefox on another computer.
    The two answers received so far have not provided an answer: is this a known bug in Firefox?
    Thank you.

    You are on a Mac and that is a [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Kerning kerning] problem. Don't you see the same problem in other applications if you choose the same font, font-weight and font-size.
    I only find one other kerning [https://support.mozilla.com/questions/789254 question] here -- it is marked unsolved. I find it strange that Firefox got involved with this at all rather than leaving such things to the operating system and font metrics.
    Does the problem go away with "command+0" (zero) which resets [http://kb.mozillazine.org/Zoom_text_of_web_pages zoom level] to normal. If you mess with the font sizes in your preferences because you want larger print that would have the same effect.
    Also found this one recently reported for [https://support.mozilla.com/questions/892222 Firefox 7 in ubuntu 11.04] which appears much worse. If it involves Firefox and specific operating systems it becomes a lot harder to diagnose who or what is responsible.

  • To Apple engineers: Home sharing and wifi sync not working after fresh install

    Have been using wifi sync and home sharing on my Macbook 5,1 since its early debut.
    Since Macbook 5,1 is old i am using it to stream MP4 files to my Apple TV.
    The functionality has been working fine throughout the OSX iterations; then came Mavericks.
    Now my iTunes library will not sync with Apple TV3, nor will my iPhone 5/iPad 3 wirelessly sync with my iTunes library.
    For some reason since upgrading to Mavericks the thing wont work under normal boot.
    Restarting in Safe mode solves the problem. Assuming it was some erroneous configuration i went through troubleshooting steps to try and resolve it.
    First i uninstalled any third party apps.
    Then i repaired, went through Maintenance and Cleaning of the system using Onyx
    Then i tried manually removing third party boot kexts from the System Library and user Library
    Then i tried reinstalling OSX via the recovery partition (cmd+r on boot time)
    Finally i tried a full system erase and reinstall via an external bootable Mavericks USB.
    After all these steps the problem persists.
    There should be no hardware failure since it works fine in Safe mode and doing a clean install verifies that there are no third party conflicts with the system since iTunes was executed immediately after booting up for the first time.
    This raises the concern that there seems to be some sort of system kext misconfiguration by the Apple engineers.
    When executing iTunes the following errors are being displayed in the system log (via Console):

    safari, chrome and firefox cannot verify identity of secure websites after upgrading to 10.7.4,  apple engineers have tried multiple things including operating system with no success

    There are several threads about this problem, most notably one called 'Invalid Certificates' is over 4 pages long.  Many of us have experienced difficulty connecting to banking and other secure sites.  On my Macbook Pro, I cannot get to my banking site with any browser, however I can get there on my iMac using Safari, but get the 'Invalid Certificate' notice with FF and Chrome.  The problem started after the installation of 10.7.4.  I have sent a message to Apple--they will be dismayed to hear that I cannot complete an order at their online store!

  • Calendar adds an extra day when creating an event in ios 8.1.3. Is this a known bug?

    When i add an event using the calendar app in ios 8.1.3, it adds an extra day to the event when using a range of dates. I am able to recreate the problem. when entering the event i select a range of dates and confirm that it is what i want. after submitting, i verify and it has added an extra day at the end. Is this a known bug or am i on my own? Help please. this is annoying having to check each event after entering it.

    Ive reset, restored and this is the second phone. Thought it maybe a wonky screen that would shift it while setting dates. THe only thing I can think of is that I am syncing with google calendar, but it only happens when setting events in ios not if i do it from google website on desktop PC.

  • Leopard completely freezes - is this a known bug?

    Greetings,
    since I've installed Leopard 10.5.4 on my MacBook Pro the day it came out, I have this weird behavior that sometimes Leopard completely freezes on me, i.e. doesn't accept mouse or keyboard input, nor does any application respond, no crashing or warning prompts.
    This happens while I am either doing regular routines or on the Internet and my only chance was to hit the power button. In total 3 times over the past weeks. I can't say which application or setting might cause this. For example it happened when I switched from VMWare to Entourage. Another time after closing XCode or by working in MS Office for Mac.
    I know that this decription isn't very specific, but I was wondering if that's a known bug and if anyone else experienced this?
    Should I run any system tool after this type of reboot which I believe is everything but best practice?
    Any help is greatly appreciated.
    Thanks

    Is the cache cleaning for you s standard practice after each OS X update? If not i recommend it. Try with Leopard Cache Cleaner or Onyx.

    Number of address book contacts on MacBook Air using iCloud is one less than my other iDevices using iCloud.  Is this a known bug?  I've checked for duplicates on my iDevices and I can't find any.  Additionally, I have wiped all the data from the Application Support folder of the address book and re-connected to iCloud, but it always shows 308 contacts instead of 309 found on iCloud and the rest of my devices.  Any ideas?

  • Remaining TextEdit in a tabstrip : known bug ?

    Hi,
    I use the cl_gui_textedit in a custom control (cl_gui_custom_container) in a subscreen, in the last tab of a tabstrip. (ok, still following ?).
    Everything is OK, but when I leave the screen and come back on the first tab, the text editor overlaps the subscreen. Switching to any other tab gives the same result.
    I have enabled my transaction for the web, and the bug does not occur in webgui. I assume it's a frontend bug, but I don't find any relevant note. Except the very old 524967 which advices to download the latest sapgui. :[
    Is it a known bug ? How to correct it ?

  • [N97 mini - UPDATED] Well known bug: "camera alrea...

    I updated my N97 mini device to latest fw which is 30.04.
    Like whenever I capture image with my camera, after capturing image I can't interact with the handset.
    Rather it shows "camera already in use".
    I have to wait a lot more rather usual time in order to delete captured image or interact. Is there any solution of this?
    I heard of some mod which arent authorized can fix it. But i don't trust those, neither I think is acceptable to be forced to put "custom" firmware to solve a problem Nokia should have fixed asap.
    Of course I won't buy another Nokia cellphone anymore and I will discourage friends (and they are really many) to do the same because of lack of support.
    Please:
    - don't tell me it is a problem of my phone because it is not (all people with N97 mini have the same problem)
    - don't tell me to reset it or to re-update firmware because it is useless (and I have already tried it)
    - tell me you are awared of the problem and it will be fixed in the next coming firmware release because it is the only thing worth saying
    Thanks for your attention and availability.
    Goodbye.
