Transition,and bleeding jpeg problems in fce 4

3 problems..1st) 2 jpegs with motion(lets say a pan) the motion starts from fist frame,looks good,add ANY transition(say a cross disolve) the 2nd photo is still until the transition is done then the motion starts..this delay prevents a smooth flow. this didnt happen with sd fce previously...
2nd problem.. when i have a photo over apart of video, a small part of color from video bleeds into photo..looks like crap..yes the photo is at 100 % level.
3rd..my china photos looks steller floating across my tv using apple tv, but when i play the same photos whether its print to video or from dvd..photos are so so.

Not sure I'm reading or following this right but, do you have say image "A" in V1 and image "B" in V2, with "B" slightly over "A" ?
*2nd problem.. when i have a photo over apart of video, a small part of color from video bleeds into photo..looks like crap..yes the photo is at 100 % level.*
Is this photo a gif or jpeg ? sounds like it's acting like a gif, tif file extensions work best and, is what I use with all my stills.

What is the file extension of the photos at question ?

EPIC and disturbing audio problem in FCE

I'm editing footage I shot in DV standard on my Canon HV30 in Final Cut Express. I originally imported with iMovie HD and then dragged the files over to final cut later. I rendered all the audio, but when I went back to play it, the audio was strangely looped over itself and repeating. It's hard to explain, and even harder to understand because the audio is of a crowd at a sporting event and therefore not predictable. After listening for a few seconds, and inexplicably loud tone started blaring. It sounded like it was about 300 Hz (by ear, not any real method of measurement). I checked out the audio waveform and nothing looks out of the ordinary, and I can play audio from other programs without any problem. My question is, what the heck is wrong with final cut? An explanation can't really do this justice; I practically had a heart attack, the tone was so loud and unexpected. Does anyone have any idea what this could be from?
Thanks.

The underlying issue is that iMovie and FCE capture DV video differently. You can import an iMovie DV clip into FCE but it will always require rendering of the audio in FCE ... but even then the results are not always predictable.
iMovie captures DV video as *QuickTime DVstream,* essentially as-is from the tape; this means that +the audio & video are interleaved,+ which actually makes editing the audio difficult. (on a miniDV tape, the recording is made up of 10 slanted tracks per NTSC frame, each track containing video, audio & control data for its portion of the frame ... giving you some idea of the complexity of the interleaving).
FCE captures DV video as *QuickTime DV-NTSC (.mov)*, (in North America) putting the audio & video into +separate, parallel, linked tracks+ in the QuickTime file; as a result the audio does not require rendering and it is much easier to edit.
Rendering the audio of a .dv clip in FCE only creates an audio render file that is associated with the original clip; it does not convert the clip to QuickTime DV-NTSC (.mov).
MPEG Streamclip is the utility you should use if you want to convert files from QuickTime DV (.dv) to QuickTime DV-NTSC (.mov).

Any known problems with FCE-HD and "Capture Now" or edits

I've been working with FCE for almost two years now. I've had the same problem ever since-- The SPINNING PINWHEEL OF DEATH when: playing back edited video from the timeline and the playhead passes over various edit points, usually cuts. Is it a CAPTURE problem, or camcorder RECORD problem, or something else? I use a SONY DCR-TRV38 with firewire; FCE-HD;
Any thoughts on why I get this problem so often, and what I can do to avoid it in the future? should I just switch to Avid or Premier??
Thanks for any help...
Shawn

Hi Shawn.
I don't think there is a "known problem".
I assume your HDs are not more than 75% full or fragmented?
If you have not already done them, try the old chestnuts of Trashing the Preferences and Re-installing FCE.
1. Make sure you trash all 3 of the Preference Files as detailed in this article:-
http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?artnum=93690
2. If that does not work then re-install FCE but make sure you delete all the old FCE files first as shown in this link:-
http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?artnum=301182
Good luck.
Ian.
PS. When you write in with a problem, remember to give all possible APPROPRIATE details eg.
Computer model and external Hard Drive.
Operating System.
FCE version.
Camera type.
Did the problem suddenly occur or has it NEVER worked?
Have you recently loaded new Software or Upgraded ANY programs, Operating Systems etc.
Have you moved or altered your source files?
Have you captured the clips from a DV camera or an A/D Converter etc.?
Is it Standard or High Definition Video?
What type of files are you using?
Also include details of exactly what you were doing before the problem occurred.
Is your film hours long and filled with numerous transitions and effects etc.?
THIS IS A GENERAL LIST. SOME OF THEM WILL NOT APPLY TO YOU.

Iphone4S email attachment and jpeg problem - Cant open

Hello,
I hope someone can help me as I'm a bit rubbish and the problem is driving me nuts! I've tried searching the support forums but I can't find an answer.
For some reason, I'm unable to open email attachments or RTF files and even Jpegs that are sent to me on my hotmail. I always used to be able to on my 3GS but now it just says unable to open file?
Is there some way of sorting this does anyone know or is anyone else having problems or maybe I have to tweak something on the settings? ( told you I was rubbish)
Any help and advice would be brilliant!
Thank you.
PS.
I have tried forwarding the same jpeg to my new icloud email on my iphone and can open it and view it no problem, so maybe it's a homail thing? I don't understand...!

When that happens to me I have to do a hard reset (depress both Power/Sleep and Home buttons at the same time until the Apple logo appears. When screen activity stops depress these some two buttons again until the Apple logo appears. The restores the normal iPad function till it happens again.

Problems while making a MovieMaker with different transition and music.

Hi..I am making a MovieMaker in flash.I dont have much of experince in flash ,There are some problems which I am facing.kindly guide me..Thanks.
There are 4 things in my project.
1)Uploading Images-First of all User will Upload the images,Based on those uploads there will be one xml generated which will be stored in a disc and by that xml the images uploaded be the users will be get in the flash.
Problem1-How to generate an xml file that would be stored in disc or localhost through which we can get the path of images?
2)Theme Selection-After the images have been uploaded and xml file have been generated then then the images would be loaded in one window.This is for the purpose of viewing those images that has been uploaded by users.After that there is one button below the window "Select Theme".In clicking that Button there is simply another frame opens (by removing child of the previous frames) in which there are some dummy animationswhich are already made .Like in oneAnimation there are 9 Transition effects fading,fly,spiral etc etc and in another Animation there are another 9 effects like zoom,blend and so onetc.User can select one theme out of suppose 9 themes then that theme is the theme of their movie.There is one file called themes.xml tahat containes all the information of the themes.After the theme is selected ,There is button in ThemeSelection called Select Music.
3)Music Selection-There are categories of songs like sad,instrumental,slow,pop etc,In each category there are some songs that are stored in server.Whatever the user will select that will be the theme song.songs are also fetching from xml.After selecting the song there is Make Movie Option in the music frame.
4)Make Movie-Finally based on the above selection the movie is generated which should create new swf dynamically and user can download that movie also with above theme and music selection and those images should play that theme with the background music as selected by user.
Problem2:-How to generate new swf that donot take images.xml,transition.xml and songs.xml.First of all i dont know how to create new swf at run time while using the file operations.and
Problem 3-secondly if i made some swf supposingly movie.swf then whatever the user selected then based on those images,theme and songs selection i called the movieClip object of the movie.swf and all those images with the selected transition and background music are playing in it BUT they need the xml files and images.But i want to give the user one independant swf which dont use xml files and images folder.How can i do that?
The Project is similar to this one

It looks like there is lack of fundamental understanding of flash/ActionScript capabilities.
Your post covers too many topics - forum works the best if questions are focused. You may need to polish your knowledge which will allow you to have answers to some of the problems.
The main thing you should know before proceeding is that one cannot generate swf files at runtime in Flash. And it doesn't matter if you go with Flash or Flex. Should swf generation be a centerpiece of your application, you may want to consider server side compiler.
Otherwise you may not need to generate swfs at all but allow users to see results of their work with help of dynamic content generation including database. In any case, you probably will need and extensive server side application.

N78 Window Transition and Update Problem

Hello!
I finally updated the firmware of my N78. However, I noticed that not all features are functioning well. One would be the volume control. Before, I use the upper side buttons to control it when my phones either on standby, using the radio or using realplayer. And, the transition from the portrait mode (phone's normal mode) to landscape mode (mode for viewing pictures, videos, and when using the camera) is gone. Before, the screen rotates. Now, when i press my camera button, my phone goes to camera mode but the screen does not rotate.it only fades with some nasty random lines transition. actually i dont call that a transition. the same goes when i view my pictures and my videos. there is no window transition. is there a problem in my phone. what should i do?
(^_^)
(T_T)
Solved!
Go to Solution.

Hi,
thank you for replying mark_kehl!!! it seems that your solution worked. however, i still have other problems like the volume control button. sometimes, my phone suddenly halts when i am using music player. hmmmm... i believe that my phone is really defective. Nokia has already advised me to return this phone to the store where i bought it but... unfortunately, i dont have time. i am traveling very often and there are more important business to attend to than returning my defective phone.isnt it that nokia should really check its products before being they are put to the market. i am really bothered about this. i mean, as far as i know, nokia has the largest market share when it comes to mobile phones and related electronics... but i'm sure... because of these minor imperfections... its fellow competitors in the market will grab those unsatisfied costumers. anyway, its not my concern. i'm planning to sell my phone next year and probably, i'll buy an LG, Samsung or Sony-Ericson phone. it seems that i overestimated nokia. i committed a fallacy: argumentum ad populum... hahahahaha.
oh... it seems it is time for me to travel again...
thanks again for your reply... merry christmas!!! have a bountiful new year!!!

Problems with fade to black transition and photoalbum themed titles

I keep having trouble with the titles in the photo album theme. When I use a fade to black transition and then try to use one of the top 4 titles available under the photos theme it seem like I have to move the title part of the way into the new clip or the fade to black transition just does not happen. It looks OK but the title come up after the new clip has been playing for several seconds and doesn't look as smooth. Any ideas?

One option is to create a "freeze frame" on the first frame of the new clip. Add your Photo Album title to the beginning of the new clip. Insert a fade to black transition between the preceding clip and the freeze frame. You may need to fiddle with the duration of both the freeze frame and the transition in order to get the timing right. Now, as the fade to black finishes you will see a short still segment just prior to the title commencing, as if the freeze frame is coming to life, so to speak. It looks quite effective, depending of course on the video content.
To add a freeze frame, right-click (or Control-click) on the appropriate frame, then select "Add Freeze Frame" from the pop-up menu. It's easier if you first move the thumbnail slider (lower right corner of the Projects window) to the half second mark, giving you a close-up view of your clips.

Dropped Frames and Render/Playback problems in Final Cut Express HD

I use FCE HD and edit HD video off my Sony camcorder. Recently I've got rid of my old Imac G5 and have a newer 2GHz PowerPC G5 with more RAM (2GB) off a friend because my old mac wasn't fast enough and was incapable of playing back some of my edits.
At first when i got my new mac things looked faster and it was playing transitions without dropped frames etc. However now i've started editing again and imported new projects, i've got a big problem with dropped frames during playback and rendering. I get dropped frames during unedited clips let alone at transitions and for some reason, fce will no longer render video. Unedited clips from my latest project need rendering, which i've never had before, but when i try to render them the 'writing video...' pop up flashes, but nothing happens and the video is not rendered!
Now i can't watch and edit some of my projects without dropped frames stopping playback every other clip and i can't do anything with my new ones because the video need rendering but can't be rendered!
Can anyone help me out on either topic?

Hi Ross,
Well, most people, myself included, would say you should consider yourself lucky if doing video via USB ever worked at all for you. Overall, USB is not up to the demands of video, and that is most likely why you are getting your dropped frames problem.
The solutions would be either use your internal HD or get a good external FW drive. I know this is frustrating, as it has been for many people who look at the raw specs where USB 2.0 appears faster than FW400 but in real life, for video especially, it is not.

Transitions and dragging files not working in Final Cut Express 4

Although this topic has been gathering dust in these archives for a while, my problem differs in that there's plenty of room either side of the edit point. So no need for "handles" either side.
Today I installed Final Cut Express 4 on my swanky new MacBook Pro which I am stroking as I write. Ooh, baby, brushed aluminium ...
First, in the Browser, I've set up a "bin" but I am unable to drag any of the four short clips that I've imported from my Nokia 5800 phone. Yet it has worked perfectly in iMovie (the good one, the one with the Timeline).
Why, when I click on a clip, can I not grab it in order to drag it to the bin?
Neither will it let me drag any of the transition icons into place as is done in the tutorial. But when I click on the edit, it drops a brown vertical that looks like it could be the transition icon (I want the cross dissolve at about 2 seconds). I tried several transitions but nothing seems to be showing up in the preview canvas.
How do I drag the transition icon into place?
Once success, though. I used the razor blade to get rid of a few frames, then shift and delete so the whole thing lifts out with the audio — that worked properly. But the edit is a straight cut, no dissolve.
There was a red line that told me something needed rendering, so I rendered "both". Sequence, render all, "both". But when I click on the edit I get another red horizontal render line above it. That's happened several times.
A window with browser and canvas appeared, reading Trim Edit, (left viewer side) Outgoing clip (vid name) 00:00:40:19 and 00:00:41:18, then (right canvas side) Incoming clip 00:01:10:24 and 00:00:50:15. There's also a button reading Track VI but I have no idea what that is. I've tried sliding things but I can't get timings that look like a second to the left of the edit point, and a second to the right, meaning they overlap by two seconds.
The window had three sets of controls, one under the viewer "Outgoing Clip", a second under the right hand canvas "Incoming Clip". The middle one plays the canvas screen as Previewing Edit. Again, we get to the transition and it's a basic cut.
Help! What's going wrong?

"imported from my Nokia 5800 phone."
This material will not work with FCE. It needs to be converted to a format that is compatible with FCE. You can probably use MPEG Streamclip to do this.

Please confirm that you have handles available on your media to create the overlap for the transition.

Help! Problems using FCE 2.0.3 after upgrading to OS 10.4.9

I recently upgraded to OS 10.4.9 and now I am getting "dropped frames on capture" error messages. None of the variables have changed (Same computer, camera, tape, external HD, cables) It was working great two days prior to upgrading to 10.4.9 and now I can't capture anything without getting dropped frames. I've tried a different tape, switching the capture disk to my internal HD, switching cables, reinstalling OS 10.4.9 again (this time from direct combo download), rebuilding permissions, trashing FCE preferences. I'm officially STUCK! Any help would be appreciated. Is anyone experiencing the same problems after upgrading to 10.4.9?

Just so we have all the "me too"s in the one thread, I posted about this on Saturday. I said:
I've been using FCE HD (3.0.1) for ages with my current setup and I've never had any capture problems.
This weekend, I tried capturing some anamorphic MiniDV footage for the first time for a few weeks and I repeatedly got the "dropped frames" error. I tried:
1. another cable
2. some different anamorphic footage from another tape
3. trashing the prefs
4. re-installing FCE HD
5. de-fragging the HDD
6. another machine (iBook G4)
I still got the error, even on the other machine.
I tried iMovie and the same camcorder and I had no problems at all so I can workaround by capturing there and importing the project into FCE (and rendering the audio), but a kludge isn't a fix
The only things to have changed since the last time I successfully captured any footage were the software updates OS X 10.4.9 and QT 7.1.5 so I strongly suspect one of those.

Changing the Color of Crop and Bleed Marks from Registration to Black

Hello all,
I have been searching the web and have tried numerous things but I can't seem to solve this problem. In InDesign crop marks and bleed marks are printed in "Registration" color. I understand why that is needed for plate printing. However I am laser printing and I need those marks to be in "Black" color. I have tried to edit the cropmark script by changing "Registration" to "Black" on the line with myRegColor. I have tried changing the printer setting to "Pure Black". However I can't get the crop and bleed marks to print in "Black". I have been on various websites and while there are people asking the question I haven't found a answer that works. I have searched this community as well but haven't found an answer that I understand. Before I manually make crop marks I want to make sure I am not missing something completely obvious.
With laser printing there is a different charge for color and B&W. The fact that the crop marks are coming in as color and not black means B&W pages are counted as color in the printing cost. I have tested the same docuement (which was just one page full of sample black text) with and without crop/bleed marks. When the document is printed without the marks the printer clicks as a B&W page. When it is printed with the marks the printer click as a color page.
I am creating the doc in InDesign and exporting to Acrobat for printing. I am using Creative Cloud so I think I have the most up to date version of InDesign.
Any help would be much appreciated. Thanks.
-TS

With CS6 or later you can export to grayscale and in that case the crops will be black only. Like this:
You should set your Appearance of Black to Rich black otherwise 100% black CMYK might export to something less than 100% grayscale. When you check the PDF in Acrobat set the simulation profile to the grayscale profile you export to.

Preview and scrollable text problems

Is anyone else having problems getting the scrollable text function to work in an overlay to a fixed layout ePub? I have the latest version of InDesign CC, purchased last week.
Here is a picture of my file. As you can see, it's pretty darn simple. Content box is on the right. You can't see the entire box but It is long enough to fit all of my text. On the left, I created a container box, wider but shorter than the content box. I then selected the content and used Paste Into to put the content into the container. Next, I selected the container, went to Folio Overlays, and I designated the content box as vertical scrolling, start at upper left, and Vector format. But when when I tried to preview it (more on preview problems in a minute), the container appears as a simple text box with no scrolling capability. I've asked the Adobe help people and they don't seem to have any ideas yet.
As far as preview goes, well, I can export to Adobe Digital Editions or I can look at the page in Window/Interactive/EPUB Interactivity Preview. But File/Folio Preview just processes the page and then returns nothing. And the same thing happens when I hit Preview in the Folio Overlays panel.
I'd love to know if this is unique to my system or a common problem. Since I only purchased CC to produce annotated books, there is not much I can do without it. And if CC doesn't do it, does anyone have a suggestion for something a non-programmer could use to get the same result?
Thanks for any help.

Scrollable frames are a DPS -- Digital Publishing Suite-- function (as are all other effects from the Folio Overlay panel). Those are a different beast than Fixed-Layout EPUBs.
For fixed-layout, all interactivity is supported (any panel in the Windows > Interactive flyout) except for Forms, Page Transitions, and the two Animation presets Smoke and Blur. Note that the panels Folio Builder and Folio Overlays are not part of the Interactive group of panels.
I know it's very confusing!
If you're trying to create an *app* then you use DPS, and you should be asking this question in the DPS forum.

If you're trying to create an *ebook* then this is the forum to post in.

Themes / Ken Burns effects don't render, Transitions and Video FX do render

Topic pretty much says it all. I'm working on some family vacation videos, and thought it might be nice to apply some travel themes to some sections of the video.
The red "rendering" bar that's supposed to crawl along the bottom as it's rendering, and then disappear when done, is dark red, and never fills with the bright red indicating that it's actually rendering the clip.
iMovie's at the latest version (6.0.3), and I've tried this with a number of projects, with no luck. Transitions and video effects work like a peach, so it's just something with themes and the ken burns effect on pictures.
I've deleted the imovie.plist, and repaired permissions.
I should also note, the preview, when dropping clips onto the drop zone(s), display's properly. As does the ken burns effect when setting up it's duration. It's when you apply the settings, and it drops the clip onto the timeline to start rendering it, that's where we hit a snag.
This is on the internal drive, Mac Extended (Journaled) format, there's about 40GB free space. I've emptied both the system, and iMovie trash. I've tried deleting the FontCollections folder.
I'm just rambling off suggestions I've tried from the various threads I've been gleaning in hopes of finding a solution to this.
When I started these projects, I chose DV Widescreen, as everything I film with my DV camcorder (Panasonic PVGS59) is set to widescreen.
I've even tried manually splitting the clips, so that the part(s) I want "themed" are only as long as the theme duration, hoping maybe it was choking on a longer clip (say around 1 to 2 minutes), when all it needed for the theme was about 4-10 seconds. Exact same thing, dark red "rendering" bar, but no bright red bar showing how the rendering is progressing.
I've dug through about 32 pages so far, still going and not finding anything that's actually helping. It seems though my issue is quite similar to others', it's unique as nothing that's worked for others is working for me.

Hi, Nice to be here, despite the problems!
Last night I reinstalled iMovie from the recovery disk and even manually deleted all plugins and prefs beforehand. It didn't make any difference in either my account or a new user account I set up. I repaired all the disk permissions again and also once again deleted the iMovie plist, all to no avail.
I had a software update flagged on Monday night (which I downloaded), the problem has only been since then. The other software flagged for download included a battery update and a SuerpDrive firmware update. The SuperDrive update seems to fail to operate. It would try to run it on startup but would advise that the program could find a device to update? Strange. I deleted the .pkg and also the program from nmy startup items.
So, with the version of iMovie rolled back to the original one off the recovery disk, I would have hoped that it would have started to work, which it hasn't! I subsequently searched for software updates and added a couple, one at a time to see if that would help (restarting every time). That didn't work either!
What on earth is there left to do, despite a full reinstall of Mac OSX?!
I wonder if this is an emerging problem following the latest seemingly recent software update for iMovie?

Help with transitions and fade in / out

I need help. I need some kind and infinitely patient personto explain, step by step, in simple words of less that one syllable how I can fade in my movie and how I can apply transitions between the clips.
I’ve tried, oh have I tried. I’ve read the manual, I’ve watched three video’s on youtube (they were bad!), found a lot of quality online help but I still don’t get it.
What I do get is random results. Like my movie fades in once then it won’t do it again. Like I get the grey transition box but can’t extend the transition beyond0.1 of a second. Like I trim my movie and the transition removes the trim. And so on.
So if some kind soul could help, or even point me in the direction of transitions made simple I’d appreciate it.
Many thanks.
