Gray background on video "Flickering" behind subject, need to remove

Hello, I exported some video last night in Pro5.5 and came in this morning to find that the gray background behind my subject is "flickering".
I've tried several things but nothing has removed it yet.
Here is the project info:

Frame blending didn't work, deinterlacing the footage didnt work either.
I don't have maximum bit depth or maximum render quality turned on.
The flicker filter under motion effect didnt work.
Any help please!

What exactly are your Export Settings?
Are you certain you have not reversed the field order?
What is the final destination for your exported file?

Since upgrading to Firefox 4, when I printed anything, I got a gray background covering the page. What I printed could be seen, but it wasted a lot of ink. I had to 'downgrade' to the prior version of Firefox; if it won't be supported soon, what do I do?

I am using Windows XP, SP3. I have experienced this printing problem with anything I print from the internet, any site. I can read whatever I am printing, but there is a light gray background on the whole page. I saw something similar in the problems already listed in the help section, but the fix in the about:config files did not help; same problem existed. The only thing that fixed it was to uninstall Firefox 4, and reinstall the prior version. I am now using version 3.6.17. I have read the warning when I start Firefox to seriously consider upgrading to version 4, and that the older version won't be supported, but since I can't print from it without wasting considerable ink, and having pages that are unattractive and difficult to use, I don't know what to do. Please help. I want to use the new version, but MUST be able to print clean pages, without a gray background on each one.

I have had a similar problem with my system. I just recently (within a week of this post) built a brand new desktop. I installed Windows 7 64-bit Home and had a clean install, no problems. Using IE downloaded an anti-virus program, and then, because it was the latest version, downloaded and installed Firefox 4.0. As I began to search the internet for other programs to install after about maybe 10-15 minutes my computer crashes. Blank screen (yet monitor was still receiving a signal from computer) and completely frozen (couldn't even change the caps and num lock on keyboard). I thought I perhaps forgot to reboot after an update so I did a manual reboot and it started up fine.
When ever I got on the internet (still using firefox) it would crash after anywhere between 5-15 minutes. Since I've had good experience with FF in the past I thought it must be either the drivers or a hardware problem. So in-between crashes I updated all the drivers. Still had the same problem. Took the computer to a friend who knows more about computers than I do, made sure all the drivers were updated, same problem. We thought that it might be a hardware problem (bad video card, chipset, overheating issues, etc.), but after my friend played around with my computer for a day he found that when he didn't start FF at all it worked fine, even after watching a movie, or going through a playlist on Youtube.
At the time of this posting I'm going to try to uninstall FF 4.0 and download and install FF 3.6.16 which is currently on my laptop and works like a dream. Hopefully that will do the trick, because I love using FF and would hate to have to switch to another browser. Hopefully Mozilla will work out the kinks with FF 4 so I can continue to use it.
I apologize for the lengthy post. Any feedback would be appreciated, but is not necessary. I will try and post back after I try FF 3.16.6.

Problem with gray background in SmartForms

Hi all
I have uploaded a logo via SE78. The logo have white background both in windows and in the print preview in SAP (SE78). When I insert the logo in my SmartForm the background gets gray, not white. I have tried just to upload a picture that is only white, but I get the same problem here. It is white in the print preview in SAP SE78, but in SmartForms it gets gray background. If I upload it as a black and white picture it gets white background, but I need it to be a colored logo.
Any one got input on this issue?

Hii Johan ,
The problem is the sap conversion,
it converts every image imported into the system to
256 colors, converting white (RGB 255.255.255 to 252.240.240 )
so using Microsoft Photo Editor,
make the white font transparent and
then save it as bmp (discharging the transparent converts it to true white)
define the graphic in color or black/white. You could define also the dpi .
also check it by taking print in other printers ..it could as well be drivers problem .

How can I add a new background to existing photo?

Hi folks!
I got Adobe elemets 8 new and I was trying the whole day now to add a new background to an existing photo.
There is one main photo showing a face of a man and I would like to cut that face out and plant it into another photo to use the background !
OR leave the face as is and upload a new photo to set it as a background.
However I cannot find an upload function at all.
Hope it makes sense what I am trying to describe here.
Also - any answers in german language would be awesome (OR if english: please keep it simple).
Thanks a lot!!!

Hotshot video conversion resolution? No full screen ever?

I have the Pantech Hotshot. The screen resolution of the phone is 400wide x 240high. When I convert a video to that resolution the phone always reduces it to 320 wide instead of filling the screen to the 400 wide and makes the 240 high even smaller. If I convert the video to a larger size it makes the video on screen even smaller. The only video resolution that works decent is 320x240 which fills the screen top to bottom but leaves black bars right and left. If its the phone software that's doing it than what's the point of having a screen 400x240 if you can never view a video in that screen filling resolution? And the video player has no option to zoom or fill the screen. What is the best resolution to convert a video to view on this phone to fill the screen completely like every phone I've ever had was able to do? Thanks

"The screen resolution of the phone is 400wide x 240high.

I think you have not found the solution to your situation. We have a non-smartphone (Samsung u370) that, like your phone, has a screen resolution of 400x240 and, like your phone, seemingly won't play a video at the correct resolution when the video is a resolution that exceeds 320x240.
On this u370 phone while playing a video, there are icons on the screen one of which looks like an "X" with arrows at the end of each of the ends of the "X". Tapping this icons causes the video player to expand the video so that now it's playing at the full horizontal resolution of 400.
The video player on our flip phones works the same way. Our LG vx8370 has a 320x240 screen. When I play a 320x240 video, initially the video players plays the video at a resolution of 240 x something. When I push up on the directional pad, then the phone expands the video and then plays it at 320x240.
One more thing. My experience on two different Verizon non-smartphones is the same when it comes to playing widescreen videos -- when I play a video of a resolution such that I have to select the option to expand the video so that the video is playing at the full horizontal resolution of the video, the video player won't show the correct vertical resolution of the widescreen video. Instead, the video player stretches the video to fill the vertical resolution of the phone's screen. While that is tolerable to me for a 16x9 video, my preference is that I find a stretched 2.35:1 video to look unwatchable. The only way that I can preserve the aspect ratio of the widescreen video is to use a video conversion tool that lets me pad the video with blank lines. FFmpeg and mencoder are two tools that have this padding option. So this is what I came up with. Suppose I have a 16:9 widescreen video. The video would need to be about 400x224. Since the video player software on the Verizon non-smartphones will play incorrectly by showing a video stretched to fill the whole screen, I'll need to use the padding command in ffmpeg and add 16 blank lines -- 8 lines above the video and 8 lines below the video. The ffmpeg command for that is
scale=400:224,pad=400:240:0:8
ffmpeg will scale the video to 400x224. The pad command tells ffmpeg that the converted video will have a total of 240 vertical lines of which 224 are the video and 16 of which are blank lines. The "8" tells ffmpeg how to center the video -- there'll be 8 lines above the video and 8 lines below the video.
Since ffmpeg uses a command line interface, two free graphic user interfaces for ffmpeg that I like are Avanti and Pazera:
http://www.videohelp.com/tools/Avanti
http://www.pazera-software.com/products/audio-extractor/
Pazera uses an older version of ffmpeg which can be updated after installing pazera by, if I remember correctly, just deleting the older ffmpeg file and replacing it with the new one.

Creative Vision:M, best video conversion program(freeware or softwar

I recently got a creative vision:m and love it, but i cannot figure out whether or not my recently purchased "23 Copy DVD Gold Edition" software is worth the fifty bucks i had to pay. Does anyone know of online freeware etc that works well and produces good quality video conversion (esp. from .mp4 to .avi etc.). I know there is a free converter that comes with the program but when i tried it the videos played slightly choppy on my vision:m. When i used .avi format, there was no such problem. Thanks

Problem apparently solved: Last night, I downloaded and installed the free program, SUPER. My husband has not had a problem so far; been working beautifully! Ravenquille

Is this about using a lightweight theme (Persona) to style the user interface with a background image?
Are you using an extension that deals with such a theme?
Start Firefox in [[Safe Mode|Safe Mode]] to check if one of the extensions (Firefox/Tools > Add-ons > Extensions) or if hardware acceleration is causing the problem (switch to the DEFAULT theme: Firefox/Tools > Add-ons > Appearance).
*Do NOT click the Reset button on the Safe Mode start window.
If it works in Safe Mode and in normal mode with all extensions (Firefox/Tools > Add-ons > Extensions) disabled then try to find which extension is causing it by enabling one extension at a time until the problem reappears.
Close and restart Firefox after each change via "Firefox > Exit" (Windows: Firefox/File > Exit; Mac: Firefox > Quit Firefox; Linux: Firefox/File > Quit)

Problem in DAM video conversion

Hi,
I am using Webcenter Content 11.1.1.8.0 and I configured IBR for video conversion.
When I uploadmp4 video file, I am getting below error,
Content item 'Content000242' was not successfully checked in. Unable to set the default rendition set for DAM conversion
I have seen the below instructions in documentation that I need to update config file.
1. Open the following directory of your Content Server instance:
<IntradocDir>/config/
2. Open the config.cfg file in a standard text editor.
3. Under the #Additional Variables section, add DefaultVideoConversionSet and set
it equal to the factory you want as the default rendition set. The default must
match a rendition set in the choice list of the VideoConversions metadata field,
defined using the Configuration Manager applet.
4. Save changes to the config.cfg file and close the file.
5. Restart Content Server
http://docs.oracle.com/cd/E14571_01/doc.1111/e10800.pdf
Pg 85 and 86.
What is the value I should put in config. file.
DefaultVideoConversionSet = {What Value Goes Here}.
Please let me know if I need to do any other configuration.
Thanks

Hi Kumar ,
I think the same question is posted here :

Bookmarked videos keep playing in the background

--when i bookmark a video from you tube or anywhere else--the video keeps playing in the background--there is no tab--this happens with certain flash sites as well--i remedy the problem by restarting the browser or making a non video bookmark right after---

Hi,
Please check if this happens in [https://support.mozilla.com/en-US/kb/Safe%20Mode Safe Mode]. Safe mode disables the installed '''Extensions''', and themes ('''Appearance''') in '''Tools''' ('''Alt''' + '''T''') > '''Add-ons'''. Hardware acceleration is also temporarily disabled - the manual setting is '''Tools''' > '''Options''' > '''Advanced''' > '''General''' > [https://support.mozilla.org/en-US/kb/Options%20window%20-%20Advanced%20panel?as=u '''Use hardware acceleration when available''']. All these settings/options/add-ons can also be individually or collectively disabled/enabled/changed in Firefox normal mode to check if an extension, theme, option or hardware acceleration is causing issues. Disabling/enabling hardware acceleration, and some types of add-ons in normal mode may require a Firefox restart.

I have a gray background at top of page behind navigation toolbar and other toolbars. It's not part of the theme. How can I change it?

After installing version 4, all web pages have a gray background, with blurry diagonal stripes, at the top, behind all the toolbars. It is not part of the theme and is unaffected by changing themes. It does not extend down to the rest of the page. I don't like the way it looks and would like to change it. I'm not sure if this is a default, or something that I inadvertently did myself. It has been there since I first installed. Any ideas?

You may have installed a persona.
You can uninstall your current Persona and revert to the Default theme (Tools > Add-ons > Themes).

Displays diagonal, jagged, white lines on a gray background

The eMac (1.25GHz, 512 MB RAM) does the following. It boots (grey rotating spokes), then displays jagged, diagonal, white lines on a gray background. However, when I boot it into target disk mode, there's no problem w/ the display, and I could booted my Powerbook 12" G4 up using the eMac drive as the boot drive, so it doesn't seem to be a drive issue. Whaddya think, reinstall?
It's running 10.4.11 OBTW.
Cheers,
Rex

Weird; I don't think I've seen anything matching that description yet. No display problems when booting into Firewire Target Disk mode suggests the CRT/analog assembly is mostly fine, but the expected corrupted video drivers would have been corrected with the OS reinstall. If the problem were with part of the ATI video display chipset, it would be a first to me that the native 640x480 resolution is OK but other settings are not. Still, it might be worth trying two things. One, check the PRAM battery; if you have a multimeter, it should read within 0.1v of 3.6v while under load (still in the battery holder). Battery location and replacement details are at eMac - Do-It-Yourself.
Two, try resetting NVRAM. Holding downcommand-option-p-r keys at startup until you hear three sets of chimes, then releasing the keys will reset PRAM settings (per What's stored in PRAM?). Resetting PRAM is supposed to do everything that clearing NVRAM does, but there's a long-standing body of ancedotal evidence that NVRAM is better thought of as a superset of PRAM (although this may not be nerly as true for OS X as it was in OS 9 and earlier). You can fo even firther and reset the Open Firmware settings as well. To reset the Open Firmware settings:
restart holding down the command-option-o-f keys; at the "Welcome to Open Firmware" message (black text on a white screen) type in the following at the command prompt and press return after each (case sensitive, no spaces):
reset-nvram
set-defaults
reset-all
The Mac should restart after reset-all (if it doesn't, type mac-boot and press Return)
Good luck!

Compressor Simple Video Conversion

I simply want to covert QuickTime video to Real Media or Windows Media... the instructions for this are nothing but a maze of run around confusion.... "add plug-ins" that can't be found... compressor won't let me select Real Media as a choice even though Real Media shows up in the applications section.
I am extremely sorry I invested in a Mac after years of successful, simple video conversion on my old pc. I needed a new machine because my pc was getting old. My Mac experience from sales, consultation and beyond has been an absolute pain in the... kester!!!

Hi:
You can use Flip4Mac to encode to WMV:
