Very dark picture when exporting to .flv

I´m getting a very dark picture when exporting flashvideo from FCP (VP6, 1000kpbs). Is there any settings when exporting I can do to avoid this?

Solved! ProRes 4444 timeline.. 422 works fine!

After I tried using the background effects my pictures were very dark, now when I try to take a regular picture it's completely black? how do I put it back so it will see me not pitch blackness?

I selected the clouds effect and turned my computer to the wall when it asked me to step out of frame when I turned it back to me and took the picture it was very dark, now when on normal I can't see anything else besides black

This a Photobooth question?

HP truevision HD - VERY DARK PICTURES

Hey, i just bought my HP pavilion dv6-6135dx 4 weeks ago at new hampshire. no here's what happened.
So 2 weeks in after i got my hp pavilion laptop i had encountered a virus, after getting this virus i had to reinstall windows 7
by restarting the computer and pressing f11 to load up hp system restore. After that i went on the support and drivers page
and reinstalled all the drivers but something strange happened after i installed the bios update, i had found out that my
webcam had became very very dark.
after doing so i went on cyberlink youcam and the screen appeared very dark, i could see my self but it was a black silhoutte
i begin playing around with the light settings but nothing happened. it was still the same.
I even tried another webcam program.
That didn't work.
So then i tried disabling the webcam software and enabling it again. But the picture was still the same
AFTER THAT i uninstalled the HD truvision driver and installed it back again
BUT STILL nothing changed. I've went on over 10 other forums which discussed this same issue but all of them
simply suggested to change the lighting and brightness settings, which as you have seen have not work.
To add on to this problem i don't think i will be able to return this laptop because it is way pass the return date
but im still not sure if i can do that since i don't have the bus because as i have mentioned i bought this from
new hampshire for vacation and brought it back with me to seattle, and i couldn't bring the box with me so i had to
throw it away and the laptop is still on warranty but when i called HP tech support they said there not sure if i can
have this laptop replace because i didn't buy this laptop directly from the hp website but instead at best buy.
VERY VERY CONFUSING ISSUE, ANY SUGGESTIONS TO FIX THIS?
Remeber i went to 10 other forums so changing the brightness will not work lol and i had pictures.....

guys i finally found out the fix for it!!! i guess we all would have had changed the brightness contrast exposure for the betterment, but it really screws the settings!!! will tell you the steps.. i use youcam 3.5 so just follow my instructions!!!
1. open youcam
2. click enhance the current video image (6th icon from top, just next to the video image appears, place ur pointer over the icons for few secs to know what it is)
3. Click advanced
4. under video proc amp slide the backlight comp to 1 or 2 (doesnt matter )
5, now click the camera control tab
6. click default, then u could see only exposure visible or editable , now just tick the "auto" box !!! click ok.
and now everything is back!!! hope this helps out, and dont screw up with the settings again!!! thank you

Loosing CREATION dates of pictures when EXPORTING

Hi,
When exporting pictures into other folders I loose the creation dates of these pictures. For the exported pictures I get the date of exporting instead of the dates when the pictures were taken.
Drag and drop doesn't help either.
Is there a way to keep this valid information for the exported pictures?

You need to distinguish between the FILE info and the PHOTO info.
The Finder quite correctly gives the creation date for the file: that file is created when you export the pic.
The Photo data is preserved in the EXIF information, and although the file is a copy, the correct EXIF data is exported along with the Photo.
For an example of an EXIF viewer check out EXIFViewer
Bear in mind, that if you have edited the photo it will reflect the date of editing in the EXIF data. If you want to the actual data you'll need to examine the Original File.
If you want to edit the Finder info on the File to reflect the EXIF data, there are several apps that will do this, including A Better Finder Attributes X . But there are others.

FCP6 adds 20 extra seconds when exporting to .FLV

When I export a FCP6 project to .flv (File> Export> Using quicktime conversion and Format: Flash Video (FLV))it automatical adds 20 extra seconds to the end, showing the last frame, before the movie stops.
How can I avoid this?

Hi Ken,
IMHO the FLV component is cr*p. Look at the version number. It says something with X... which usually is the moniker for development versions. Come on (M)A(cro)dobe.
Btw. is it Flash CS3?
So, try the following:
Export your timeline as a self-contained QuickTime-Movie (File > Export > QuickTime Movie, then Checkbox: Make Movie self-contained).
Then use the standalone Flash video encoder application (in /Applications folder).
If that doesn't work either, you could also try 3rd party apps:
VisualHub - http://www.techspansion.com/visualhub/
Flix Encoder Standard - http://www.on2.com/products/flix/flix-standard/
The latter supports Flash 8 (better quality VP6 codec). Both are reasonably priced ($23, $39) and have demo versions available.
Hope this helps.
Best regards, Oliver

Very Big Cell when export in Excel

Dear Tech guys,
I use VS 2008 with VB and CR 2008.
Crystal report, and export in PDF are OK, but when i export the report in Excel, i have the bellow problems.
The report is a delivery note with 7 columns and many rows.
1. In all pages, the page numbers are lost, except from the last page.
2. After last row, excel has a very big in height (height > 300) row. Because of this, excel creates a new empty page and at the bottom of the new page i see the page number (Page 5 of 5).
Can you help me with this problem??
I have this problem after the last update (Service Pack 3).
Visual Studio 2008: 9.030729.1 SP 1
Crystal Reports 2008: 12.3.0.601
Thank you in advance.
Best regards,

Dear all good morning from Greece.
First of all, i like to thank you for your quick respond.
Dear Ludek Uher,
1. Yes, this is from a .NET (3.5) application with VB.
2. I do the export via code.
3. From the CR designer i have the same problem.
Dear David Hilton,
The photo, is not working.
I found the option "On Each Page" from the CR designer and i changed it. Now i get the page number on every page but i can see that something is wrong with the page height and with the end of the page of the report.
I will try to show you the problem of the Excel file, after the option "On Each Page":
Header........................
Field1 field2 field3 ......
row1 .......
row2 ......
row3.....
row56 ......
{end of page 1}
{new page 2}
row57
row58
row59
Page 1 of 4 (the footer of the first page must be in the first page, but it shown in the second page)
row60
row61
row62
{end of page 2}
{new page 3}
row110
row111
row112
Page 2 of 4 (the footer of the second page must be in the second page, but it shown in the third page)
row140
row141
row142
{end of page 3}
{new page 4}
and go on.....
I hope this helped.
If i change the margins from Page Break Preview in Excel, the pages are OK. So i thing that something conflicts with the end of the page. The report does not understand the end of the page.
If there is a way to send you the file or screen shots, please tell me how.
Thank you in advance again.
Best regards,

Very dark picture with built-in iSight

Hi,
with my 3 month old intel iMac it seems that the picture I get with the built-in iSight is much darker than with my previous white iMac G5 with built-in iSight.
My new iMac sits in the very same place as my previous iMac G5, yet the picture quality in terms of brightness is only mediocre.
Is there a way for me to adjust the settings for my iSight?
Has anybody else noticed this? Could it be a hardware problem?
Thank you,
Torsten

Have you closed and opened Photo Booth? This is often all that is required.
This also can help:
Open the iChat application>video preview. If it is dark as well select:
iChat>change my picture>take a snap shot. Close iChat and open Photo Booth.
I haven't found the sniper solution yet, it doesn't happen very often.

Get too small pictures when exporting from Lightroom

I shoot in both cr2 (23 MB) and Small-jpeg. Afterwards I upload the pictures to Lightroom and have the appear in the catalog as one picture. Here I make all the editing and when I export the picture back to my harddrive as a jpeg I can only get a file of 3-500 kb. I know I have made some croping - but not that much. It is like Lightroom is working on the jpeg picture and not my cr2 picture. Do anyone have a clue to what I am doing wrong? It may be a setting?

Hi
Here is a screendump of the export dialog box
https://www.dropbox.com/s/ht380sf9irk6gmt/Screenshot%202013-11-26%2019 .22.40.png
The size of the cr2 file i 21 MB (and it has a jpeg sister of 930 kb) - and the picture is cropped - but how do I read the cropped dimension? As I am shooting bird picture I normally crop a lot - but my picture are still of an ok size
I can see your screenshot, and looking at the actual pictures that were exported (thumbnails in the filmstrip at the bottom) helps understand why the jpg files are small: your pictures are mostly a smooth blue background (sky) with a tiny bird in the picture. These files are highly compressible in the jpg format, as there isn't a lot of detail in them. I would expect that the resulting file size would be rather small, even if the original files were large.

My IPhone 5C takes very dark pictures even in bright noon sunshine, I'm really disappointed as the camera was a big reason I chose it. Anyone else experiencing difficulties ?

I picked up a new IPhone 5C. The camera seems poor, my pictures are extremely dark even in bright, sunny conditions. I tried using the flash but it actually does very little. I wondered if anyone else has encountered this problem.

I know this email is confusing and really hard to understand...perhaps now you will know how i've been feeling--lost and confused with all the mis-information, with a hit and miss phone, and out of time with all the 1 1/2 hr to 2 hrs EACH wasted on this issue.
On top of all this, I can't even find out how to file a complaint with anyone higher up than Customer Service.
I hate to tell you this, but you didn't write an email. You wrote a discussion post on the Verizon Wireless Community forum which is a public peer to peer forum. Unfortunately since you didn't mark your post as a question, the VZW reps that roam this community won't ever see your post. Before you re-post it, don't. Duplicate posts get removed from the community.
I see there were several missteps both by the reps and yourself in your post. First you should have insisted on returning the phone within the 14 day return policy period. Second which Samsung Galaxy mini model did you purchase? The S3 mini or the S4 mini? Did you do any research prior to deciding on this device. The reps at that time deflected the easiest course of action, by trying to get you to replace the phone under insurance instead of returning the phone. The Early Edge payment option requires the current phone on the line using the early Edge must be returned to Verizon Wireless. Did you once considered going to a third party site like Swappa to purchase a gently used device for your daughter?

Very poor quality when exporting slideshow

I am using a Canon 5D, and when I view the images in Full screen. They are gorgeous. I created a slideshow. When I play the slideshow in Aperture - again they are gorgeous and crisp, however when I export these images to a Quicktime movie they look blurry - almost like they were taken with a regular point and shoot.
I have selected Export > HD 720p
I understand that slideshows are generated from previews, so I went to Aperture > Preferences > Previews and selected Photo Preview > Don't limit & for Photo Preview Quality I selected 12 (high).
I kept the 2 selections that were there on default selected (these are: new projects automatically generate previews, and use embedded JPEG from camera whenever possible)
Then I selected all of the images in the slideshow, and when I right clicked and selected "Update Previews" I received the message saying that the previews were already up to date. I exported the slideshow - and the quality was still poor.
I then tried to update the previews from the items in the individual libraries themselves instead of selecting the images in the Slideshow (hoping that would make a difference), and tried to update the previews. But I got the same error.
What am I missing? Why am I seeing excellent quality when I preview the slideshow when I click the Full Screen play button - but when I export it to 720p HD it looks horrendous.
Please help!

FTF you need to hold down the alt key when selecting the images and choose generate preview. The update preview option maintains previous settings. Using alt/option creates a new preview.
Second HD720p is still significantly below the resolution of your display so the images will look softer.
But try the previews first and post back.

Good video, poor still picture when export to QuickTime Movie

I exported my project from Final Cut Pro. Had video and still images. When viewing expoprted video in QuickTime Movie, the video looks good but the still images look distorted (pixulated). The images were ~2.0 MB each. If I make the viewer window for QuickTime Movie small, then images look good. I imported the images from IPhoto and if I open a big windom for viewing the images in IPhoto, they look great, just not in my finished video. Please help. Thanks

Thank you so much for replying.
I am really new to Final Cut Pro (Have version 5)
I am using version 7.7 of QUICK TIME.
I did not resize the images. I justdragged image from IPhoto and insertd into timeline on Final Cut Pro. How should I resize.
My video setting is: DV NTSC 48kHz using NTSC (720x480)
I am going to take a course on Final Cut, but I have so much footage an I wanted to put out some video in the meantime.
Let me know any suggestions.
Thank you

No picture when exporting

i have a project made up of avi (optimized) (codec CineForm HD) + apple prores422 files.
the first time i exported the project i was having some trouble but somehow was able to succesfully manage. exported onto vimeo+master file.
now, after making a few edits (trimmed a couple clips & deleted a few) im experiencing the same problem as before and can't figure what the issue is.
the exported video blacks out halfway into the 5th clip -- to the end of the project. the audio works fine. the picture is black.
in my timeline, sometimes (either the whole project or at the same spot-- in 5th clip) while skimming or during playback, the image will also go black. (this can usually be resolved by restarting fcpx)
ive tried deleting then re-importing, rendering again, deleting preferences, deleting render files, etc.
here's a shot of my timeline.

one sound effect is m4a (works fine-in the first portion of the video)
a few others are mp3
how do i check the format of the audio attached to the clips? (amateur i know but i can only find .mov)
here's a shot of movie inspector for the 5th clip

Final Cut collapse when exporting to FLV

Hi everyone,
I have a problem with exporting video to FLV.
On V2 there is a video of a man before a green screen that is cut out with the chroma key filter (unrendered). On A3&A4 is audio.
Then I do this... export->using quicktime conversion->then I select FLV->I go to options->
- profiles- custom
- video- codec:on2 VP6,enable 'encode alpha channel',enable 'deinterlace', quality 'high'
- audio- enable 'mp3'
then I press OK en then SAVE.
I see the timebar on 0% and Final Cut Pro collapse!
What am i doing wrong? is it CS3/CS4 problem?
Can someone please help me with this big problem?

Isn't exporting to YouTube? Why? Can't see your computer. What's happening on it?
Are the keywords in the export tags too long?

Very dark picture ichat

Alright, does anyone know why after two years of using ichat with basically no problems when I connected with my Dad two day ago it looked like he was sitting in a room with no lights on? I am familiar with the view I should see so could make out the very vague ceiling light and could see my Dad's head passing in front of it but basically it was like lights out. Anybody experience this before? He has Tiger 10.4 and I am using Mac os x 10.3. The version of ichat I have is 2.1.3 ( v154 ) not sure what my Dad has.

An Add-On in iChat terms is a install of a additional software pack that alters some of the functions of iChat. Essentially Plug-ins.
iGlasses is here It is made by Ecamm who make several iChat add-ons to very good effect.
In Fact the iGlasses one adds to the OS and camera control and can be effective in several dozen other apps as well.
As you can see by the link it does flip the pic if you need it and brighten and alter it in different ways.
<hr>
A thought came to me reading the other thread http://discussions.apple.com/thread.jspa?threadID=1008858
If he goes to Users/(his account)/Library/Preferences and deletes the com.apple.ichat.plist file and restarts iChat then the camera details are read again to recreate the .plist
If he does remove any Add-ons (iChatUSBCam is another) then the .plist will need to removed and iChat restarted anyway.
Does he remember changing any camera setting in any other application such as the Compression rate in iMovie or WebcamTweaker ?

Why is my video pixelated when exporting from Premiere Pro?

Hi,
I'm a musician wanting to make some basic videos for YouTube. The videos will consist of an intro (logo, title etc) and audio playing over a still image which will last the duration of the song. I've edited the still image for the video within Photoshop (CS5.1). The image is of a woman screaming and is intentionally very dark. When I export this image from Photoshop, the quality is excellent. When I then import this image into Premiere Pro (CS5.5) and export as the finished video, the quality of the image is significantly reduced and is rather pixelated. After spending hours searching online and trying different settings to achieve the result I want, I've had no luck, and I'm now in desperate need of a professional opinion. Is it possible to get the same quality image within the exported video as I get from an exported Photoshop file?
Things I've tried:http://www.ashmathos.com/Musici
Photoshop - Exporting image using different file types - .tif , .PNG , .PSD etc
Premiere Pro - Exporting video using different formats - .FLV , Quicktime and MPEG4
- Changing the Capture format between DV and HDV
- Different presets - AVCHD, HDV, DV - PAL/NTSC etc
Both the image exported from Photoshop and the video are 1080p (square pixels)
An example of what I've explained can be found here:
http://www.ashmathos.com/Musician/Test
(The video can be found below the image)
To any responders,
Thank you!

Can't you see how the video is pixelated? Mainly around the nose and forehead?
Nope. Looks fine when I watch it.
