Using motion with pictures

What is the best procedure for importing a jpeg and using motion tab. Currently, the motion I set in the viewer looks good but has jitter in the canvas during playback. I'm trying to simulate Ken Burns effect just simple zoom and pan. What is the easiest way to do this? Do I need high mega pixel and or tiff to start off with? So far I've been just dragging pics from iphoto to desk top folder to FCE browser. Is this incorrect?

You can read the Tom's instructions Motion Control to start with.

Using fonts with pictures on Aperture

Hi,
I'm a new user of Aperture and have been trying to figure out how to put words on a picture i have been editing there. I'm sure it's quite easy i'm just not seeing it.
Thanks a lot!
Bryn

RB,
Thanks for the quick reply! I had checked out the book tool and am thinking it's only for if you are creating a book? My husband is making an ad for his graphic design class. We have one or 2 pictures to use and would like to put a brief statement on that image.
When he gets home i'll have him watch the video. As for borderfx plugin, i'll need to look that up.
I'll leave this open and unanswered until he can check.
Thanks again and if there are any other suggestions with the explanation of our project, they are welcomed!

Motion with Avid

I need help badly! I'm on this project that has a tight deadline. I've used motion with FCP in the past with no problem. But for the life of me I can not get the alpha channel to work with Avid. I'm not real knowledgeable in this field. Could someone walk me through this? I want to create titles in motion then export them to QuickTime, then import the QuickTime file within my avid project and lay it over video on my sequence. How do I do this? I'm desperate!!!

I haven't used or had to provide elements to an Avid system in about 5 or 6 years now, but I hope I can help.
I'm not sure if avid has support for a QT with imbedded alpha now, (it didn't then)
When I would render out elements from Flame, Combustion or AE, I would render out both the fill and the alpha.
In AE and Combustion I would render out via the Avid Meridian codec the fill and then the alpha.
If the Avid still requires a separate alpha, you can easily render out the two elements in Motion.
First render your fill (Lossless animation or Avid codec if it's still available standalone.) Click options on the Export Dialog, click the Options tab, for Color, select Color from the drop down menu.
Then render your alpha (to the same codec). Click options on the Export Dialog, click the Options tab, for Color, select Alpha from the drop down menu.
I'm fuzzy on the import into Avid since it's been so long and I'm not sure if it's changed any.
I really hope that sets you off in the right direction.

Motion and particles with pictures in sequence

In Motion I:
I remember seeing a clip on the Apple site (the old Motion I features) that used pictures in sequence as particles. The narrator had a series of cars that were particles (several dozen) that formed a lower section of the screen. I would like to do this with pictures of my own. Any suggestions?

Sure - use Photoshop to rename all your pictures with sequential numbers - then you'll be able to open them as one image sequence clip in Motion - make particles with that clip.

I want to make a video clip using two still pictures, placing side by side. I am able to make with only one at a time.

I want to make a video clip using two still pictures, placing side by side. I am able to make with only one at a time. Also, I am able to move the picture using Transform. But unsuccessfull in making with two stills in same clip. Thank you for reply.

If you want a Picture in Picture effect, stack one still on top of the other with a connect edit. Use Transform to scale and reposition the top image.

Using Thinkpad Trackpoint USB Keyboard with MacBook Pro, Air, Retina (with pictures)

Using Thinkpad Trackpoint USB Keyboard with MacBook Pro, Air, Retina (with pictures)
The purpose of this discussion thread is to:
(1) Get community thoughts around using alternative and complimentary mousing approaches with MacBooks
(2) To share a current and searchable set of resources for those interested in leveraging a best-of-both-worlds approach for using a non-Apple Trackpoint Keyboard with an Apple MacBook.
(3) To level-set the fact that a Thinkpad Trackpoint USB Keyboard works with MacBooks automatically and instantly out-of-the-box.
Note: I created this discussion because I found that all the other discussion threads related to using a Thinkpad Trackpoint Keyboard with MacBooks were archived and therefore I could not post my thoughts there.
I have been using MacBooks for 3+ years now. Airs, Pros, Retinas etc. I LOVE the built-in MacBook Apple Trackpad. It is wonderful. Apple has no equal as far as Trackpads go.
In addition, I have been using the Thinkpad Trackpoint USB Keyboard with my MacBooks for ~2 years, and below is why I have found BOTH the Apple Trackpad and Thinkpad Trackpoint to be great.
The Trackpoint and Trackpad both have their sweet spots. Personally I use the built-in Apple Trackpad on my MacBooks when I'm using my MacBook for less than 1 hour, loosely speaking. If I am going to be heads-down for more than 1 hr writing, reading, surfing, graphic designing, programming, workshop facilitating, teaching, mindmapping, presenting, demoing, etc. then I pull out my "Lenovo Thinkpad USB Keyboard with Trackpoint (55Y9003) > https://www.google.com/search?&q=lenovo+thinkpad+trackpoint+usb+keyboard
I know many will laugh at me for using a Thinkpad Trackpoint Keyboard with a MacBook... Keeping an open mind, let's just agree that there is historical precedence for alternative mousing devices. If I could only choose one, I would use the Apple MacBook built-in Trackpad exclusively, however with alternatives come potential benefits. Keep in mind that Apple, Microsoft, Logitech and many other companies make millions of dollars each year providing alternative peripheral devices for computers, and mousing is no exception. Regardless, I just want to share my positive experiences using both. :-)
Why should you care? For *some* people the following is true and meaningful. The Trackpoint (the little red eraser head stick thingy) in the midle of the keyboard enables useful and unique dynamics/use-cases, including:
You don't have to take your hand(s) off the keyboard to mouse
You can independantly click without accidentally moving the mouse (Yes I know some people don't have issues with this)
You don't run out of finger-gesture runway when you're moving your mouse across the screen (I know this is a gray area for some people)
For mouse-movement-heavy applications (e.g. Graphics, drawing, etc.) the Trackpoint *is at times* more exacting
Below I share some pictures (which I know *look* ridiculous to some people, but none-the-less help demystify what this looks like. And, while ridiculous looking, it is actually quite thin and elegant once you get over the initial shock of seeing these two diverse technologies combined in this way.
Rest assured, the keyboard shown below (google "55Y9003") is VERY light, thin and fits in almost any laptop case/backpack easily so it is not a big deal to carry it, if you work on-the-go. In addition:
It is UNCANNY how well it fits on top of the keyboard space of all MacBooks.
It fits perfectly around the corners of the MacBook Pro/Air/Retina keyboard
Note: I took one of the 5 rubber feet/pads off the bottom of my keyboard, the one in the middle
Lastly, you can actually use the built-in Apple Trackpad at the SAME TIME as the Trackpoint Keyboard.
It is quite a nice best-of-both-worlds approach for people that like the benefits of the "Why should you care?" use cases above.
Please reply and comment with your thoughts and please let's keep it positive, constructive and friendly :-)
Pictures Below:
My two Retina MBPs, one with and one without the keyboard, so you can easily see the difference. (As if you wouldn't)

Please reply and comment with your thoughts and please let's keep it positive, constructive and friendly :-)

Newer Bluetooth version of the ThinkPad External Trackpoint Keyboard available...
The new version is smaller, so you can use your MacBook Trackpad at the same time as your Trackpoint keyboard.
Here is the Lenovo model/Part Number# 0B47190
Here is a picture of what it looks like:
Note: Just like the older larger USB model keyboard, there is a rubbery footpad in the middle of the bottom of the keyboard that I just peeled off. Otherwise, it makes the "H" key press accidentally under-neath the keyboard. Once I took that off, it fit perfectly over and around the built-in MacBook keyboard, so I can optionally put it on top of my MacBook for easy typing. :-)

Can DME, EDI be used to build a form(with pictures and logos)?

Hi All
I have a question on DME,Electronic transmission and forms(sapscripts,smartforms etc).
There is a program rfumsv00(advance tax return). Surprisingly this program doesnot give the option to output the data into a "form"(government specified format with logos, pictures etc).
(The program gives this facility to output to a form only for Germany and Belgium.)
Now i want to get the output of this program into a "format as prescribed by the government of India". How do i do this?
The program has facility for "electronic transmission" and DME". Can we use this to get a output similar to a "form"?If yes...how?

Hi Anji
Thank you(I am on the verge of awaring you points).
But one last clarification. You have mentioned that i can design a FORM and then make the program call the form. But this would involve making a Z program.
I want to know if instead of the form, I can use the option "electronic return" or "DME"?Maybe the "electronic return" or "DME" already has pre defined forms (with pictures and logos) and if not will SAP allow me to define the form in DME or electronic return and make the standard program to use that? This way i dont have to do a Z development. Can you help me?

I am using my iPhone 5 to take pictures and have started a blog with pictures. I am not able to do the update on my phone due to lack of memory.

I am using my iPhone 5 to take pictures and have started a blog with pictures. I am not able to do the update on my phone due to lack of memory. I wanted to know how much difference this will make to my pictures.
If anyone had suggestions on how to maximize picture quality n use without the update, I'd appreciate it

If the lack of space on your phone is due to pictures, you may want to consider transferring some (or all) to a computer and deleting them from the phone. That is a good practice even if you have space on the phone. Instructions: http://support.apple.com/kb/ht4083

When i use firefox with mafia wars none of the pictures display - i think i hit a hide picture button?

using mafia wars, it does not show any of the pictures only the words so it makes it difficult to know where to click. mafia works fine when i open in chrome - so it is something i did while using firefox.

With the site on display, click on the site identity button (for details on what that is see [https://support.mozilla.com/kb/Site+Identity+Button]) and then on More Information. This will open up the page info dialog.
First select the Permissions panel, make sure that "Load Images" is set to allow (selecting Use Default should also work)
Next select the Media panel, then click on the first item in the list. Use the down arrow key to scroll through the list. If any item has the option "Block images from (domain name)" selected, de-select the option.
This should hopefully resolve your issue, but also see [https://support.mozilla.com/kb/Images+or+animations+do+not+show].
Some add-ons can also block images, for example if you have AdBlock Plus installed, make sure that you have not accidentally created a filter to block the images.

HT201335 Using mirroring with my apple tv and everthing shows up on the tv untill i try to watch a movie, i get the sound but no picture. I checked and both are on the same wifi?

Using mirroring with my apple tv and everthing shows up on the tv untill i try to watch a movie, i get the sound but no picture. I checked and both are on the same wifi?

I had this problem also. Several times in fact. And it has not been any relation with sw update (Apple TV). I managed to fix this on a strange way. I drop off WiFi in iMac and joined back. Right after thatI tried to adjust Airplay settings, but I didn't manage. Reason was that my iMac didn't found any Airplay devices (?). After about 2-3 minutes iMac recognized my Apple TV. And also audio "posting" to Apple TV started to work.
So restart your WiFi connection on your iMac or MacBook Pro - it may help.
Another hint is to use command: "sudo killall coreaudiod". More information about that: http://wwwx.cs.unc.edu/~cquammen/wp/2011/02/18/resetting-audio-on-mac-os-x/
I have not tried this, but maybe next time
