Touble When Adding Motion to Still

I have searched for the answer to this one and to no avail.
I am trying to pan and zoom a still image using the motion tab. When I apply any motion or change any aspect in the motion tab, the canvas enlarges the image and transfers it to the timeline that way. I cannot get control over this. I can get the viewer to look perfect but the canvas will not behave!
Help!
Thanks.

Ah, forgot to add that my "dowloaded files" are in a external drive,
and my "iTunes Folder/Library" is in another external drive..
So I drag the files from the "download drive" to the "iTunes drive".
This way it will make a copy of the file into the iTunes folder. When that is done, I delete the original file from the download drive so that I only have one copy(in the iTunes folder) - and saves space.
Im just hoping that thats not why of iTunes is adding the same files several times? :o

Motion on stills... with a twist

I've read the posts about "motion on stills" (the "Ken Burns" effect) and found Shane's tutorial the most helpful. I have an added twist that I'm trying to figure out.
I'm making video billboards for a real estate company. I've made the billboards in Photoshop and imported them into FCP. The billboards have the company name, address, etc. and a picture of the agent in the bottom right corner. What I'm trying to accomplish is having a smaller box in the upper right area which takes up around 25% of the screen. In that box I want to use the stills with the motion effect. The way that I figured out is to make the effect (the way Shane shows) in a seperate sequence, exporting it out as a .mov, shrinking it down to 25% and using that in my main sequence.
Two questions...
1. Is there a better way to do this?
2. If not, what is the best video format to export my motion clip as? .mov as I've been using or another format? Which would look the best?
Thanks for your help.

Why export when you have unlimited layers to work with? You can either layer all of your media in one sequence, or if you'd like to keep part of your composite separated into its own sequence, you can simply nest that sequence in your main sequence. Avoiding an export saves time and keeps the sequence contents fully tweakable.

Can you customize what folder MAIL goes to when adding attachments?

Can you customize what folder MAIL goes to when adding attachments?
My friend has 2 email addresses for businesses.
He has invoices in folders for both, and wants to set up the Mac like this:
When he writes from one email address and attaches documents - he want the Mac always to go to the corresponding folder for that company of his. Same for the other email address...
Make sense?
Can this be done?
Thanks in advance....

Please read this whole message before doing anything.
This procedure is a diagnostic test. It’s unlikely to solve your problem. Don’t be disappointed when you find that nothing has changed after you complete it.
The purpose of the test is to determine whether your problem is caused by third-party system modifications that load automatically at startup or login.
Disconnect all wired peripherals except those needed for the test, and remove all aftermarket expansion cards. Boot in safe mode* and log in to the account with the problem. The instructions provided by Apple are as follows:
Shut down your computer, wait 30 seconds, and then hold down the shift key while pressing the power button.
When you see the gray Apple logo, release the shift key.
If you are prompted to log in, type your password, and then hold down the shift key again as you click Log in.
*Note: If FileVault is enabled under OS X 10.7 or later, or if a firmware password is set, or if the boot volume is a software RAID, you can’t boot in safe mode. Safe mode is much slower to boot and run than normal, and some things won’t work at all, including wireless networking on certain Macs. The next normal boot may also be somewhat slow.
The login screen appears even if you usually log in automatically. You must know your login password in order to log in. If you’ve forgotten the password, you will need to reset it before you begin. Test while in safe mode. Same problem? After testing, reboot as usual (i.e., not in safe mode) and verify that you still have the problem. Post the results of the test.

PSE 10 system slows down when adding files to catalog

I recently switched from PSE 3 to PSE10 and had issues converting the catalog. I never did resolve those so I decided to start with creating a new catalog in PSE 10. My first session of adding photos worked fine. When I restarted the task the next day, I was asked in participating in making the product better by sharing information about my use with Adobe. I agreed to participate and very quickly noticed that my computer slowed considerably when adding photos from my hard drive. The process still worked but I experienced a dramatic increase in the time it took for photos to be added (e.g. the cursor spins for a couple of minutes while the task is working). I went under my account preferences and opted out of the product participation program but the problem has persisted. I rebooted the computer to see if that would help but it has not. I have turned off all media analysis and both optimized and repaired my catalog and while this has provided some improvement, there are still instances where the system slows down. Now it seems that every other folder's worth of pictures (does not matter how many photos) I add causes this delay.
I appreciate any help anyone can provide in determining why this slow down keeps occuring.
FYI, I am running a new Windows 7, 64-bit system with 8GB DDR-3-1066MHz, and 2 TB hard drive.

Have you also edited the Preferences (Performance) to increase the amount of RAM that PSE can use?
Do you have many background processes running? Having a single HDD means that everything running on your computer has to wait in the queue for disk access.
How many photos are you importing?
What file types are the photos?
How large are the photos?

Error when adding a disk to Cluster Shared Volumes

When adding a disk to Cluster Shared Volumes via Failover Cluster Manager, I get a couple of errors.
Event ID 5145 in System Log:
While adding the disk ('Cluster Disk 1') to Cluster Shared Volumes, setting explicit snapshot diff area association for volume ('\\?\Volume{420e2cc4-4fb4-41be-afb1-65f2ee62457a}\') failed with error 'HrError(0x8004230d)'. The only supported software snapshot
diff area association for Cluster Shared Volumes is to self.
Cluster disk resource 'Cluster Disk 1' failed to delete a software snapshot. The diff area on volume '\\?\Volume{420e2cc4-4fb4-41be-afb1-65f2ee62457a}\' could not be dissociated from volume '\\?\Volume{420e2cc4-4fb4-41be-afb1-65f2ee62457a}\'. This
may be caused by active snapshots. Cluster Shared Volumes requires that the software snapshot be located on the same disk.
Any ideas why I'm getting this error? This disk was previously added as a CSV to different Windows failover cluster, if that matters. Thanks.

Hi,
As the disk was previously used as a CSV, I assume there is still data on it.
Please check if any VSS snapshot created on that disk. If so, delete them and re-add it as a CSV to see the result - a quick way is to backup important files and perform a re-format if you cannot confirm.

Error when adding a WLC to WCS

When adding a WLC to WCS I get this error: Failed to add device to WCS Reason:
COMMON-1: Some unexpected internal error has occured. If the problem persists please report to the Tech Support.
WCS 7.0.164.0 was upgraded from 5.2.110.0 because the WLC were running 7.0.98.0
WLC4404-100 7.0.98.0 (Already in WCS)
WLC4402-12 7.0.98.0 (Changed the ip address of the management and ap manager. Was in WCS but deleted from WCS prior to the ip address change and prior to the WCS being upgraded)
I know that the snmp strings are fine and that the WLC's both respond to snmp get commands.
The intial WCS upgrade from 5.2.110.0 to 7.0.164.0 didn't require the previous version to be uninstalled. After the upgrade and restoring the WCS from backup. I was getting the error posted above. We uninstalled WCS and re-installed WCS from scratch and still we are getting the same error. We tried restarting the WCS services and also the VM box as well and not luck. I was wondering if the WCS has the old ip and mac address of the WLC4402-12 in the database and that is why i'm getting this error.
I did delete and try different snmp community strings with no luck with WCS. Again, snmp is working since I can do snmp get from the WLC's.

Scott,
This is the issue:
com.cisco.common.persistence.transaction.TransactionException: Null value was assigned to a property of primitive type setter of com.cisco.server.managedobjects.aaa.GuestUserTemplateCG.userStatus
Could be an existing bug or a new one. I cant say unless I look into your setup.

Final Cut Pro X crashes when adding transitions, throughout the entire program.

I've had FCP X installed for a few weeks now, and I decided to hold back asking my question and see if anybody else is experiencing the same problems.
I did find one matching problem on the discussions forum, but the user found a solution which I tried, and did it did not work.
Everytime I try to add a very simple transition to my video in Final Cut Pro X, it gives me the spinning colorwheel, hesitates for a few seconds and then crashes.
It only does it with transitions, I can add effects, adjust color, etc. but only when adding transitions does it crash.
I've tried deleting events and original media, I've reimported using optimized media, I've tried both ways of keeping files in original locations and also copying to final cut events folder.
The video I'm using is full 1080p mov files from a Canon 5D Mark II.
It does it in the timeline as well as the secondary timeline.
I've tried the solution that the previous asker did, which was copying the content to another FCP event, and it didn't work for me. Still crashes whether I try to drag the transition to my timeline, use the keyboard shortcut, or double click.
I have a Early 2010 15 inch MBP i5 with 8gb of RAM running newest version of Snow Leopard.
Hope I've provided enough information
Thanks,
-Jon

Same Issue: Added a transition and then beach ball from **** and crash. Also lost two hours of work when it restarted and reverted to the last planned quit.
FCPX is benched until Lion and updates. Don't have time to be a beta tester on what might end up being a hobbyists toy.

Import button remains grayed out when adding existing folder to LR 4

Greetings. I'm following the steps in the following link from Adobe:
http://help.adobe.com/en_US/Lightroom/3.0/Using/WSE828B644-9097-46ab-98A7-E2719BBB6647.htm l
The final step, after selecting the folder I want to add, is to select Import. Except, the Import button remains grayed out. I'm not sure what to do in order to select Import and add the folder I already have.
Thanks,
Mike H.

Thank you for the information. Yes, that seems to make sense based on what I've discovered using LR 4. Still trying to come up to speed. Appreciate everyone's help with their tips and insight.

Folders per se cannot be imported - only pictures (or movies) in a folder can. So, you have to select a folder containing at least one picture or movie (all pictures and movies found are automatically selected when the import dialog opens). This is probably not the case for the folder you want to add, so "no photos found" is displayed in the dialog center and the "Import" button is greyed out.

Safari full screen glitch when adding Bookmarks

Hey there people!
Love Safari, but I've had a fullscreen operation glitch for probably a year and still have not found a solution. The glitch only occurs while Safari is in full screen mode.
Problem:
1. Occurs when adding a new bookmark (in any method either thru keyboard shortcut, menu (bookmarks > add bookmark) or share button (share > add bookmark)
2. Adding Bookmarks pop up menu appears (confirming bookmark location) but underneath the pop up menu the Safari window flickers to full screen view of default mac brushed aluminium backdrop and the space quickly slides to the left. While this is happening another brushed aluminium desktop slides from the right and into view. This backdrop then flickers to reveal original Safari window content with Bookmarks pop up menu ontop.
3. However at this point before confirming bookmark add - if all desktop spaces are revealed via Mission Control, Safari has created a blank desktop space with Safari logo to the left of the original Safari screen. This space is titled the current web page but the thumbnail is blank (mac brushed aluminium backdrop). If the space is selected I can only see the brushed aluminium backdrop. It cannot be closed (with command W or Esc) or via Mission Control.
4. Back to original Safari window. After I confirm which folder to save the bookmark, Safari space slides to the left and merges with the ORIGINAL desktop space (the default desktop that is created on system boot which cannot be moved or deleted). This space now looks like normal fullscreen Safari however the dock and menu bars are showing and the space is titled Desktop rather than Safari.
6. In order to display Safari in proper fullscreen mode again, Safari has to FIRST "EXIT Full Screen" (using either keyboard shortcut or menu shortcut, full screen button does not appear). After EXIT Full Screen, Safari is correctly displayed in windowed mode in DESKTOP. Safari has to Enter Full Screen as normal to restore Safari as its own space and in full screen.
Notes:
- Glitch does not occur at other times (including adding pages to Reading List or during another pop up menu such as (File > Save As).
- The glitch was first evident since fullscreen implementation in Lion. I have since updated to Mountain Lion hoping it would fix the issue but it remains unaffected.
- I have attempted removing all Safari extensions. I have also tried removing 3rd party plugins such as Growl, Alfred. But this hasn't made any difference.
Macbook Pro mid 2010
Safari 6.0.4
OS X 10.8.3
Does anybody have any ideas or suggestions? (clean install of OSX will most likely work but is last resort)
Thanks for reading!

Master detail refresh when adding new record

Guys,
Can't believe I need to ask this question ....but here we go
when adding new master record --> I want to refresh the detail record..... in my case old detail records stays as it is until i click the save button
for detail panelformlayout-->partial trigger--> i set the ids of master panelformlayout and newMasterrecord button..... but still it doesn't refresh the child record when new master record is being created.....
any thought will be greatly appreciated

In application module it works fine......
Even on the page when i click next/previous button on masters it refreshes details information.
but when i click the button "create" it doesn't refreshes details...... (but when i save the information, i certainly see the updated details)
seems like there is some settings or binding i need to check but can't able to find one.....
any help is greatly appreciated

When adding ringtones (created by ringtone app) they show in music tab nor tones. the file type in 'get info' is 'ringtone'. Why is this?

When adding ringtones (created by ringtone app) they show in music tab nor tones. the file type in 'get info' is 'ringtone'. Why dont they display in the 'tones' tab in itunes? How can I get them to display under 'tones' not 'music'.

Well, I tried rebuilding the Launch services with the command listed but still no luck. After having no luck with that and deleting caches, etc....I also, went to my home (user) directory and in Preferences, I deleted the com.apple.launchservices.plist file. I restarted and checked and still the same result.
Also, I want to emphasize again that the file type I am discussing DOES actually launch with the correct application. (Cubase files in my example).
But it is just annoying that ALL of my Cubase files display the Pro Tools application icon, and in Get Info they are listed to open with Pro Tools. But they actually do launch Cubase if double clicked.
And one other VITAL note....if I open Get Info for one of these files, and change the Open With from Pro Tools to Cubase....then that choice DOES "stick" and retain. (if I "don't" also click Change All)
It's only when I click "Change All" that it DOESN'T stick and the list selection jumps back to Pro Tools. I hope that may offer some clarity.
Thanks for the tips but I am still back at square one.

Low quality image when adding to iMovie

I have 2 movies that I want to remove some parts, but when adding to iMovie, it changed some video adjustments to a worst quality image.
This 2 movies had already bad image quality from the source, because they have very darkness frames and were filmed in VHS.
But they were reasonable to see, from Apple TV.
Now in iMovie they became worst.
The source is H.264, AAC 1280x720 FPS 23,97
The source is H.264, AAC 1024x576 FPS 23,97
What can I do ?

Available ?
More or less.
And how can I send a sample ?
Depends on the size of the sample and what space is available to you on a server. You can usually send snippets as e-email attachments up to about 10 MBs. If you have a MobileMe account, server space provided by your ISP, or other server space provided by a third-party service, then you can upload larger samples for FTP or webpage use and simply post/send me the URL, reference movie, or QTL.
When the movie goes to iMovie, the brightness decreases and the contrasts became more darkness.
Have you tried playing with the built-in "Video Adjustments" at all? Not the easiest thing to use but you can make some adjustments using it. In such work, "Less is usually best." By this I mean you should apply as little adjustment as you can get away with using.
Normally I would start with a "Level" adjustment. While there is an "Auto" button you can press to get some idea as to what the application says you need for a particular frame or range of frames, this setting can vary drastically depending on the individual frame being tested. So it would usually be a good idea to expand your clip and "test" a number of frame ranges to see what is a "typical" setting for the clip. If the settings are fairly uniform, you can go with the suggested setting or something reasonably close to save "blowing out" highlights. On the other hand, if the settings vary drastically, you my either wish to select an "in-between" setting of your own manually, or split the clip into sub-segments which can then be adjusted individually. NOTE: the auto "Level" adjustment does not affect other settings -- only the clipping points and does not include controls for half or quarter tone adjustments. Still it is my preferred starting point for making adjustments.
You can also try adjust the "Exposure" setting. This will tend to allow you to adjust the "Brightness" and "Contrast" uniformly by centering your color channel histogram but can easily be overdriven. "Brightness" and "Contrast" can, of course, be adjusted individually if you prefer but you may find the "Exposure" control easier to handle where the content is more uniform with regard to shadows and highlights. Lastly, adjustment of any of the previously mentioned controls will usually have some effect on color saturation. While they do not change the actual setting, they do tend to desaturate color as the other controls "lighten" the cast of your frame images. So, don't be surprised if the results "wash out" somewhat and you may need to touch up the saturation. But, once again, go easy as the saturation doe not increase uniformly and tends to "blotch" highlights and/or create color shifts in these areas.
About the only controls left are the individual color channel levels. I don't normally recommend playing with these arbitrarily as they then to shift the color cast/white balance of your content. As to the White balance itself, the "eyedropper" had little or no effect on the content I tested so I assume the it either did not work as described or the sample white/grey points I used for sampling did not require adjustment. As to the Balance Wheel," it does work well but like the color channel adjustments may cause more harm than help most novice users.

C#: when adding listview items the screen flashes and only single listview column loads?

When adding listview items, the listview1 items flash and only the first listview column loads (there are 5 columns in all)?
Background...
I was having cross-threading issues on 3 form components which I was able to resolve (see
code here). Now I think the soluiton which involves creating a delegate and performing an "InvokeRequired" check (see
what I used), I'm having an issue passing 5 values for each column. Below is the code involved calling this invoking check for each and their methods.
Before having the cross-thread issue the "listview1.Items.Add(values.text) add the comma separated string values to the appropriate columns, but that doesn't happen through the cross-thread fix required.
The "Loading()" method is handled through and async/await method causing the initial cross-thread issue.
private void Loading()
int t = 1;
foreach (string line in scripts)
string[] listValues = line.Split(',');
ListViewItem values = new ListViewItem(listValues);
if (t == 1)
AddColumn("Script Name", 200); // Creates column headings
AddColumn("Date and Time", 150);
AddColumn("SID", 75);
AddColumn("Environment", 75);
AddColumn("Client", 75);
t++;
else
if ((values.Text != "") && (values.Text != "Script Name"))
//listView1.Items.Add(values);
AddItem(values.Text);
if (!dictScript.Contains(values.Text))
dictScript.Add(values.Text);
//cbxScriptList.Items.Add(values.Text);
AddScript(values.Text);
private void AddItem(object o)

Ok, I still have the flickering issue, I could use some guidance on that. And I should note that before I had the code-threading issue, I never had any flickering, it all appeared simultaneously.
However, I was able to populate all columns (5 in all). I had two corrections to make.
1) My method should not have been passing the parameter as text but as the object ListViewItem:
// Not This...
AddItem(values.text)
// This is Correct...
AddItem(values)
2) Then I needed to cast my object as a ListViewItem in my method call:
private void AddItem(object o)
if (this.listView.InvokeRequired)
AddItemCallback d = new AddItemCallback(AddItem);
this.Invoke(d, new object[] { (ListViewItem)o });
else { // code that adds item to listView (in this case $o)
listView1.Items.Add((ListViewItem)o);

How to Specify Metadata When Adding Content Using iTunes U Web Service?

I've been developing Java applications using iTunes U Web service and uploaded content to iTunes U site using iTunes U Web service without problem. Now I want to add metadata fields (name, artist name, album name, etc.) for the tracks I uploaded. It seems to me that "AddTrack" will do. So I tested it but it neither adds a track under the specified group nor updates metadata fields for an existing track. It turned out "MergeTrack" actually updates metadata fields for an existing track. So is there any way to specify metadata at the time of adding content using iTunes U Web service? And what exactly does AddTrack do? This is all about contents hosted by iTunes U site and no RSS is involved.
I'm referring to the "AddTrack" method in iTunes U Web service:

Thanks for all the replies. My question is whether there is any way to specify metadata WHEN adding content using iTunes U Web service. Specifying metadata AFTER adding content can be achieved by MergeTrack (weird naming) and it does work.
As for setting track level meta-data in the media file and then upload it, there're several reasons against that, among which are:
1. Some track metadata are context-dependent. A video about buildings on Michigan Ave in Chicago can be track #2 in a history course and described as "historic view of the Magnificent Mile", but the same media can also be track #5 in a landscape design course and described as something like "contemporary architecture". Setting these metadata in the media file itself is not the preferred way to do it since it implies maintaining a version of the same media for any course/group it gets uploaded to.
2. Setting metadata in a location separate from the media file helps track the metadata change and search for media without digging into the media itself.
3. If MergeTrack "updates" metadata, there got to be some other method that "creates" metadata - that's what a well-designed API should look like. And setting metadata in the media file is not an equivalent to a "create metadata" method call. In rickwolf's term, that implicit AddTrack should actually be made explicit so the party uploading content can explicitly specify metadata instead of having iTunes U extract metadata from the media.
It is still not clear what "AddTrack" does exactly, maybe rickwolf is right - it's only relevant to tracks created through RSS.
So it seems to me there is no other way to specify metadata WHEN adding content using iTunes U Web service than setting metadata in the media file. To me it is more like a design flaw.
