White frame on touched areas

Hi, I recently upgraded my iPhone4 to iOS 5. There were no problems at first, but suddenly my screen hanged. After rebooting my phone, the touch interface was no longer working properly. Whenever i touched an area, a white frame would appear around the item touched. I would then have to press the area a few times in order for the number or letter to appear. Swiping doesn't work, everything else is very laggy.
Please help.

Sounds like you have VoiceOver turned on (especially if your phone is speaking items that you touch) and you will have to go to Settings>General>Accessibility>VoiceOver to turn it off. With VoiceOver on you will have to flick the screen with three fingers to scroll. You will also have to tap an item once to select it, then double-tap to activate it. (Example: to go to Settings, tap Settings once to select it, the double-tap it to open it.)

Spry menu hover in IE: How to get rid of white frame & "false"?

Hi--
I'm encountering an IE issue with a Spry vertical menu bar. When the user hovers over the submenu, white frames appear behind the submenu with the word "false" in them. Of course this doesn't happen in Safari or Firefox.
I was able to fix other similar problems with the menu by following tips posted on another forum. Namely, in the CSS, I disabled an IE hack that caused a white background to appear (menu background has to be transparent on this site). And in the JS, I disabled the following: this.removeIframeLayer(menu);
Here's the URL: http://www.qic-ec.org
Below are the css (1) and js (2).
Any help would be DEEPLY appreciated.
Thank you
Jackie

SpryMenuBar.js
This file handles the JavaScript for Spry Menu Bar. You should have no need
to edit this file. Some highlights of the MenuBar object is that timers are
used to keep submenus from showing up until the user has hovered over the parent
menu item for some time, as well as a timer for when they leave a submenu to keep
showing that submenu until the timer fires.

Oh, sorry, after I updated to 1.6.1 and uploaded the new code, I didn't post it here. Here it is (minus intro comments)--and it's still not working in IE (though I am testing on an older PC with IE 6). The problem only arises upon hovering.

Cross-dissolve from white frame to adjustment layer no longer works in CC 2014

Windows 7, Premiere Pro CC 2014
I have a video clip in a nested sequence on V1 and an adjustment layer on V2.
I want to dissolve from a white frame to the clip using the adjustment layer.
In PP CC (not 2014) this was simple:
Starting with a white PNG graphic on V2, cross-dissolve to the adjustment layer.
However, in PP CC 2014, this causes a dissolve to BLACK over the duration of the dissolve and then a CUT to the video.
This behavior in CC 2014 is illogical. Why has it changed?
There are other ways to do this, but this one was quick and easy, and is required for hundreds of clips in existing sequences / projects.
Response from support via live chat:
thank you for your patience
the adjustment is layer is not functioning properly
https://www.adobe.com/cfusion/mmform/index.cfm?name=wishform&loc=en
please mention it in the feature/bug request form

For me with a color matte it shows exactly the same behavior as with a PNG.
You're dissolving between the matte and the adjustment layer on V2?

Quicktime files showing up as white frame since Leopard upgrade

Recently upgraded to new Mac tower running Leopard from G5 running Tiger. Did a migration copy from old to new system. Since then iWeb'08 where I had been placing my quicktime files for my podcast are not showing a thumbnail only a white frame. It publishes correctly but very annoying. Any ideas?

I'm having the same problem in 10.4.11.

White frames on black background?

When texts and images on my web page are loading there are white frames visible against my black background. If they need to be there, can I change them to black maybe? My webpage is www.carlsonahnell.se. Thanks!

Just to reinforce what Kyn as already alluded to, the behavior that you mention is a function of the browser as it renders the page...and it stands to be different with different browsers. I just looked at your pages from a PC using FireFox...and all I get is black background with outlines where the images are loading...no white frames! I can see how it would look more distracting with the white frames, though.
I don't think this is a property that can be set in the browser...except to tell it to wait for everything to download before displaying the page...that doesn't sound like a fun option.

Can I remove/adjust the white frame surrounding images in finder?

I find the large white frames surrounding image files in the finder and on desktop bulky and annoying. Can this be changed/minimalised/removed in preferences or any other way?

I've taken some screenshots so I can show what I'm talking about.
LEFT: How images used to look when sitting on my desktop.
RIGHT: How images on the desktop look in Mountain Lion.
And here are what images look like in the finder in icon view:
TOP: Images in the finder, old version.
BOTTOM: Images in the finder in Mountain Lion.
I want to get rid of those white borders. Or at least get them down to one pixel or something.

Can I get rid of the white frame on Finder icon preview?

This is another one of those things that Leopard has done that makes me wonder what the heck they were thinking! (Don't even get me started on the Windoze95 sidebar!) Why the heck take a wonderful thing like the Finder icon previews in Tiger, and make them solid white squares, with a nasty white border? These are stupid, ugly, and a massive step backward in interface design. I am assuming this is all done for the sake of "cover flow?" With decent Finder Icon previews, who needs it?
But please, please, if you MUST 'fix' things for me, give me the ability to opt out! SO until Apple remembers what GOOD GUI design is, does anyone know how to get rid of the border & white background?
Thanks!

To each his or her own, but I find the frames & white backgrounds, if not particularly attractive, fairly useful for a quick visual reference of the images' proportions (like tall & skinny vs. nearly square). This is pretty hard to see if transparency is enabled & large parts of the image are transparent.
When I do want to see the transparency, I find Cover Flow (& Quickview) very useful, although Cover Flow doesn't always seem to show alpha channels while QuickView always does. Plus, both versions of the technology allow much larger previews than in conventional icon Finder windows & support scroll wheels, making it easy to review large numbers of image files quickly at high resolution literally at the flick of a finger.
FWIW, at first I thought this was just a gimmick with little practical value. Now that I have started using it, particularly in conjunction with smart searches, I think it is a great addition to the OS, one that is so intuitive & efficient that it makes the old icon view look like an antiquated relic from a time when computers were not powerful enough to manage more than tiny thumbnails.
I'm not trying to convince you about this as you seem adamant about not liking it, but I do think it is the logic progression for browsing through ever larger numbers of ever higher resolution images, & is only going to get better at this as it becomes more refined. Perhaps someday a future version will meet your needs.

HELP!! White frame where Flash movies should be!!!

Can't figure a single reason why this is doing what it's
doing. Everything works fine before I create the projector.....but
once I launch it and test, all my Flash movies are just white
frames of the same size as the movies are supposed to be. No sound
or anything. Does the same thing on the Mac or PC side. I've tried
checking and unchecking DTS, etc. but I can't figure this one out.
My project is due TODAY....first time I've had this problem
before, ever.....HELP!!!

I thought about that (actually made that mistake with the
Buddy API Xtra), but I just now got it to work....seems as though
it doesn't like talking to a shared drive space between my Windows
and Mac partitions, even though it'll play just fine within
Director while I'm working on the project. I copied everything
over, all the directories, etc. to my Windows side, created a test
projector from there, and voila!
Thanks for the suggestion; I used to make that Xtra mistake a
LOT.

White iPad users: is the white frame distracting?

I love the look of the white iPad but I'm just wondering, when you are watching video, particularly in a dim environment, is the white frame around the screen distracting? I'm thinking maybe it makes more sense to have a black screen just for visual comfort....?

"The white bezel looks good, aesthetically — very similar to the infamous white iPhone 4s that I played with after last year’s WWDC keynote. But, I found the white bezel distracting. With the black, the frame disappears from mind when you’re using the iPad. With the white, it always seemed like I was looking at a white frame around the screen. There’s a reason why movies are letterboxed with black bars, not white ones, and why most TVs are framed by black." (Source)

White frame in JPG export

If I choose at AI, the export, to jpg option, and tick the use artboards option, the exported jpg will get a rather thick white frame.
The document has no stroke, if i export without the use artboard option there is no problem.... any suggestion?

What are the contents of your artwork? Is there a background with stroke applied? Please explain a bit more about the artwork so that I can suggest something.

Compressor white frame at the end of WMP

I want to use compressor and flipformac to produce my windows media files. I have 50 clips to move so I wanted to take advantage of the automation.
Every clip it finishes as a wmp9 using the flipForMac quicktime plugin has a white frame at the end of it. Any way to get rid of that?
I downgraded my flipformac to the 1.0.2 from the 2.0 that is there current release because of a known bug that causes floating green chroma crap to appear on the wmp doc. I also tried using Sorrenson Squeeze to batch, but Sorrenson can't compress 720p codec footage that is the DVCPRO HD codec. (again, known bug they are working on). I tried downconverting the HD footage to SD and having compressor do it and still .... white frame. So then I tried cleaner... it just crashes... I hate cleaner.
sorry for the rant... can anyone help.

Is there a chance your source footage has the same white frame before you encode it? I've never seen this problem.
As far as flip4mac, there is a work around in the current version to avoid the green monster. With a Two Pass VBR Constrained, set your Peak Bit Rate to 1.5x. This makes your encode closer to a CBR, but eliminates the compression artifacts. Also in the advanced settings, a shorter Key Frame frequency will improve overall quality.
Sorry I'm not more help with the white frame. What version of Compressor are you using? I've done close to 100 encodes in the last month and haven't encountered this. What are your source files? Quicktime out of FCP? Reference files?

Unwanted Extra White Fram At End Of Movie

hello
if i take a quicktime movie and do export for web, all the versions which are created have an extra white frame at the end of the movie.
why?
kind regards

Ever get this one solved? I'm having the same troubles. Can't troubleshoot it at all. Making me crazy.
Thanks!

DVC PRO White Frames

I'm collaborating on a DVC Pro project with an editor who has FCP 5. I have version 7. But when I open his project file to make notes, I see white frames in both the viewer and canvas windows.
I can open the clips in quicktime player, so it does not appear to be a codec issue. Footage is DVC ProHD 720p.
Also, as a shot in the dark I changed the canvas view to alpha and RGB , oddly enough I'm getting red monochrome of the footage - weird. RGB remains white, straight alpha white. I've tried all variations in the canvas view (checkerboard, overlays etc) and all other are white frames - weird.
I'm using a Macbook Pro 2.4ghz, 4 gigs ram 512 video card, FCP 7.01 in Leopard 10.5.8
Any thoughts on this much appreciated.
M

I remember FCP5 creating a different kind of QuickTime movie than FCP6 and FCP7 do. I believe FCP5 created "Final Cut Pro Movies" whereas FCP6 and FCP7 create "QuickTime Movies". Maybe you have mixed kinds of video files, and that is causing an issue? Are you able to view the video files in the finder, to see if you have different icons sitting in there?
Also, in the past 4 years I've seen white frames with DVCPRO-HD, it's been a codec issue.
Hope this helps!!

Compressor adding white frames at the head of the movie converted

i used compressor to convert footage from mp4 to Apple prores 1024x576 16x9 and also change different frame rates to 25 fps
I resized all the big videos to 1024x576 and maintained the smaller videos like 640x360 in its original size as i will composite them together to maintain quality.
everything went well as compressor makes a very good job in resizing and frame rate coversion.
i noticed that compressor added at the head of the movies a white frame on most of the converted movies
and after importing the movies to fcp 6 i found that every time i use a movie with a white frame in the head Fcp crashes.
is it because of the frame rate as i noticed that the white frames are in the movies with for example 23.98 that were conformed to 25.
i cannot edit because of fcp quits.

What do you have the most of? 1920, 1280, SD?
What is the final deliveable? web, broadcast, blu-ray, SD DVD?
Maintaining the aspect ratio can be done in your sequence settings whether your sequence is HD or SD.
640x360 will still only fill about 1/2 of the 1280x720 screen at 100%.
You can scale it to fill the screen but you will take a quality hit.
In most cases putting 1920 in a 1280 sequence isn't going to make the baby jesus of quality cry.
In my experience upscaling SD outside of FC in another program doesn't usually help with quality.
I do the scaling in FC and know that I will have to render. I would still use Compressor for the frame rate codec conversion but do not change the source size unless you are converting to a more friendly broadcast size.
You may want to consider that SD footage doesn't have to fill the entire screen.
You can do other treatments to the footage so that you still fill the entire screen but the actual footage isn't being scaled to fill the entire screen. Blurred footage, stills, etc for a background can help with this.

Random white frames in Quicktime Slideshow

I've made a slideshow in iPhoto and exported a Quicktime movie that I plan to put on DVD. Everything works, except that around 1:40 into the movie, the screen goes randomly white for a frame. One images fades to black, and then there's a random white frame, and then the next image fades up from black. There's only one way to export a slideshow, and I've recreated the whole thing several times. There is no reason for it to do this, and it's driving me nuts. It doesn't show up when I view the show in iPhoto, but every time at the same spot when I look at the exported movie.

I presume you are using an album for this slide show. An album contains only an alias for a photo in your library. The alias may be pointing to a photo that has been deleted or corrupted.
Check out the photo that is supposed to appear at that point.
