Unsmooth Edits over Photos-- Multiple Video Generated-Text FX

I apologize if there is already a thread regarding this issue but I looked and couldn't find one.
This is so basic but here's goes...
The problem is when more than two (Video Generated) Text effects are layered on top of one another and one of the layers begins or ends, the video underneath pops back in and out of focus, respectively.
To recreate my problem:
1) Place a still photo on the first track (V1)
2) Open the Effects Menu and create text by using Video Generator --> Text--> Text
3) Place text on V2, a couple of seconds into the timeline so that V1 & V2 are staggered.
4) Repeat (2)
5) This time place the new Text effect on V3 and stagger it a few seconds after the other Text effect and make it shorter.
(The sequence should have a triangular appearance.)
6) Note: a bump/unsmoothness at the beginning and the end of the top clip (on v3).
Anyone know how to fix it?
Thanks.

Bizarrely, not all of my photos cause this problem. Photos that I scanned myself are fine but those that I pulled off the internet (which are in the same format as the ones that I scanned -- "Photo-JPEG") do not play properly. It defies logic.
The work-around I came up with this morning is to export the photo (from the sequence) as a Quicktime file and then reimport it that seems to "fix" it. I am convinced that this has to have happened to others. The circumstance (2 text clips over a photo) seems pretty basic.
Has anyone been able to recreate this problem? Thanks.

  • Editing 1 photo multiple times.

    I am having a hard time when I open a photo to edit more then one time. Exp. I edit a copy in color in lightroom 3, then I edit with Photo Shop CS5 (copy with lightroom settings). Once I edit in Photo Shop and Save As I can no longer go back into Lightroom 3 and edit that pictures. I would like to take one photo and create different looks (black/White, Sepia and so on)..this is getting very fustrating at this point. I can'e even open my Raw(NEF) files either.
    Any advise would be really appreciated.
    Thanks

    Welcome to the forum!
      Okay, so... first, the relationship between LR and PS:  LR handles everything virtually; that is, instead of actually modifying the original file, it makes changes and saves the work it did as a history step.  So every time you modify it, it repeats those steps to create the image you are looking at.  PS on the other hand, does make changes to the original.  So once you write it out (unless you are using lots of layers and making huge files) you can't go back and edit it.  This is the power of LR, that everything is done on the fly to make the image you are viewing.
      So it's only one step from there to having multiple sets of steps;  that's what a "Virtual Copy" is.  It's just another entry into the database that points at the same original image;  thus,  you don't need to have 5 images taking up 5 times the space of one image when you want to try 5 different views of the same image.
    Once  you pass off your image to PS, however, it will make a NEW image when you save it.  Since it is a new image, it should be obvious that editing the original will have no effect on this image.  LR will always allow you to edit your original, but it will NOT pass along changes to any image created from that original and saved into a new image;  it treats them as completely seperate images.
    If you have import result back into LR checked, then your image edited in PS will automatically show up with your original image.  If you have stacking turned on, then your original image will be "stacked" with your new one, so if you can't see your original anymore, try expanding stacks, and see if it's "hidden" behind the other one.
    Cheers!

  • When iPhoto '11 crashes after importing photos and videos, they are gone. How can I retrieve them?

    iPhoto '11 randomly crashes after importing/editing/organizing photos and videos. When it does, photos and videos that I've been working on are gone. Pictures taken with iOS devices can be retrieved if they are still in Photo Stream, but videos are gone. Is there anyway I can retrieve photos and pictures that are not saved before iPhoto crashes? Also, is there anyway to prevent it from crashing? It seems iPhoto '11 is doing this since the day 1 I started using it. Thank you.

    Back up your iPhoto library, Depress and hold the option (alt) and command keys and launch iPhoto - rebuild your iPhoto library
    this should help with the crashes - it may or may not help with the missing videos

  • How do I copy and paste text style for multiple video tracks?

    hello,
    I am creating multiple video tracks with text.  I want to easily copy and paste the style, i.e., Font, Color, Size - rather than having to scroll down the giant list of fonts to find the one I want, then change the color, then change the size - each and every time.  This is arduous.
    I tried copy / paste of one text onto a new video track, but when I type in a different word, it alters the original.
    I have 9 tracks of video for 9 different texts that will pop in and out of my video.  I would like to be able to copy/paste then just change the text.  This would save me a huge amount of time.

    I know of no way to alphabetized the Adobe Styles that come with the program.
    If you had the time and the inclination, you could rename them all to force them to appear alphabetically, but that does not seem all that practical.
    But, if your interest is in the Styles that you save and you do not hit the Reset File List, the new Styles will be at the bottom of the list and you can name them so that they appear that alphabetically at the bottom of the whole Styles list. But that does not address the matter of you having to scroll to the bottom of the Styles list.
    In some instances, some things that you think that you cannot do in Premiere Elements obvious features, can be done by computer keyboard shortcuts. I check the keyboard shortcuts under the Edit Menu/Keyboard Customization and unfortuately did not find any that would be applicable to this situation.
    As for your changes in one text file popping up unwantedly in another text file, that is because you have text files with the same name. Look into creating duplicates (with different file names) in Project Assets at the onset.

  • I can't superimpose over a photo or video.... Please HELP!!!

    I am about an hour into an underwater film I am working on. All of a sudden when I go to superimpose text over a photo or video clip it kicks my existing overlays up and wants to put the overlay on it's own layer..... but there isn't anything there. It doesn't show the text but put another working layer onto my timeline. I must have hit a combination of keys or something. I've never had this happen before. I am dead in the water right now and can not continue. Any help would be REALLY appreciated.

    Which version of FCP are you using?
    it adds another layer in my timeline...
    This is supposed to happen. Could it be that you have V1 selected as the active track and already have superimposed other tracks on V2?
    Change the active track to V2 or higher so that the text goes above your other supers.
    Example. The following setting will send your super to video track 2:
    Moving the active track patching button higher will send the super (in this case) to V3:

  • Adobe Premiere : Editing Video in Text

    How do you edit video in text on Premiere Pro?
    I did this in Adobe Element - both the newest versions (2014) using black video, Track Matte Key and inverting them with a Title, like so  15 seconds in
    Real Talk Teaser: Sean White - YouTube
    Now I've switched to Premiere Pro and am trying to replicate my titles, but to no avail. I can't get the text to cut out to transparent to reveal the moving video below
    I've tried using  a Set Matte,
    tried using a Luma Key with Alpha Channels,
    tried a Title with a black background fill,
    or one without over black video,
    inverting Mattes,
    tried cutting/copying a clip of the video to place on Video 3 instead of just putting the Title over Video 1
    and on all three Video channels ...
    Tried Adobe/non-Adobe video tutorials and the Adobe reference.
    I don't know what I'm missing. Thoughts?

    Hi Tash B,
    Here you go:
    Create text and place it on the track above the video clip you want to show inside the text.
    Apply a Travel Matte Key effect to the video clip.
    In the Effects Control panel choose Matte > Video 2, Composite Using > Matte Alpha
    Hope that helps,

  • Can I not buy one plan for Photo AND Video editing? (i.e. Photosop/Lightroom and Premiere Pro/After Effects)

    I need photo and video editing...but obviously don't want to pay for 2 separate plans. Also, it looks like with the single app plan you couldn't even get Premiere/After Effects (for instance) together for $20 a month, just one or the other? I've searched around the website but could use some additional clarification please. Thanks,

  • Need advice on computer for photo and video editing

    I do mostly routine stuff on my home computer (word processing, e-mails, internet, etc), except for photo and video editing (hobby, not professional)
    I'm upgrading my 4 year old set up, as it has 2 GB ram, dual core vs quad core, 256mb video card, etc, etc.  Better to buy a new rig than upgrade several different components.
    Costco has a pretty nice set up in the store (HPE 257 c-b), but for an extra $200, I can order online and get the HPE 170t, which is essentially the same except for 2 upgrades:
    -Radeon HD 5770 video card vs Radeon HD 5570
    -Two 1 TB 7200 hard drives vs one 1 TB 7200 hard drive
    My question is this.....is it worth the extra $200 to get the better graphics card and the dual hard drive set up?  Will it really make that much of a difference in the performance?  I'm thinking it will, especially the ability to set up the 2nd hard drive as my scratch disk.
    For what it's worth, both systems have the i7 860, 8 GB ram, and Windows Home Premium 64 bit.
    Thanks.

    In very general terms, the requirements for Video will exceed those for Photoshop (PS). If you are looking at PrPro CS5, then the video card WILL make a difference, and PS CS5 now takes advantage of the video card, than before.
    For PS, the minimum HDD setup would be a 2x system with physical (not partitions) HDD's. Video has more requirements in this area, and I would say that a 3x setup is the minimum. Do read Harm's linked article, as it is the best that I have ever run across.
    For the PS setup, just locate the Scratch Disks for PS on your extra HDD's, the ones with your Project and PrPro Scratch Disks.
    Enjoy the new computer, and welcome to the forum,

    Do you know where the actual photo files are located on your laptop? If so, you can transfer them to the Mac over a LAN or by saving them to an external HDD, thumb drive or burning them to a disk. Then you can import the photos to the iPhoto app that came on your new Mac.
    It would be the same process for the videos, however, it would depend what type of video files they are, as to which Mac app might allow you to view them.
    BTW, since your Mac is new you need to Accept the iLife apps; iPhoto, GarageBand and iMovie into your Mac App Store/iTunes account. Open the MAS, sign into you account, go to the Purchased pane and accept the apps.

  • Photostream Issue - I have had several phones over the years all backing up via iCloud/Photostream. It seems that the oldest of my photos and videos are simply gone and I cannot seem to figure out how to get access to them. Why is this happening?

    Photostream Issue - I have had several phones over the years all backing up via iCloud/Photostream. It seems that the oldest of my photos and videos are simply gone and I cannot seem to figure out how to get access to them. Why is this happening? Is there anything I can do to get them back? I'm freaked out by the thought that I am paying for what I thought was a safe place for my photos to be stored and accessed later but now see that there are nearly 500 pictures/videos gone from my photostream folder. Any help would be greatly appreciated. Thank you. - Michael

    Hi newmarket,
    Photo Stream is not a respository for archiving photos. It is a cloud storage device that will store the last month or last 1000 photos taken by any device on the same Apple ID, and then will "share" those photos with all other devices that have Photo Stream turned on,and that are logged onto the same Apple ID.
    iCloud backups will contain all of the photos that were on your camera roll the last time you backed up your device.
    If you have photos outside of the Photo Stream parameters, and they are not all on your current camera roll, then you have no way to retrieve them unless you have imported them to the computer you sync with or have uploaded them to some other cloud service like DropBox.
    Sorry,
