Why are my vignettes rendering as White?

I have applied a Primary, Secondary, and Color FX to several clips.
The vignettes are applied using Color FX. The vignettes are connected to output nodes. They display properly before render, however during render half of the clips render properly and half of them are rendering as White Screens with a vignette.
I have tried connecting the vignette to the alpha triangle of the "alpha blend" node and the alpha blend node connected to output node, and when sending to render, the vignette disappears.

The flickering is an artifact of the interlaced nature of video. It is a result of very thin (often horizontal) elements that exist on one scanline as is common in text or titling. This can also be the case in images with great deal of detail with high contrast as well as when when you are engaged in pan/zoom moves on stills.
As the alternate fields play, the flashing element is essentially being turned on/off. The basic strategy is to get the element to exist over two scanlines so it is refreshed every time the field plays or to reduce the amount of contrast so the difference between ON and OFF is not noticeable.
Before you start any of these steps listed below, make sure you are viewing your material on an appropriate monitor. If you are working in an NTSC/PAL interlaced format (eg DV) you need an external TV monitor - not a computer screen. Without the appropriate device, you are playing blind.
Things to try (In increasing order of image degradation)
• (in FCP) field order>none
• (in FCP or Photoshop) reduce whites by 10% - reduces overly bright areas
• (in FCP) flicker filter - minimum
• (in Photoshop) motion blur>vertical> .2 - .5 pixels - blurs vertically only
• (In FCP or Photoshop) Gaussian blur> .2 - .5 pixels -blurs both horizontally as well as vertically
• (in FCP or Photoshop) deinterlace - throws away half the image and is generally not appropriate on scanned images
Remember: Unless you are viewing your work in the appropriate external NTSC/PAL monitor, you are playing blind. The computer monitor only shows you a proxy image.
If you have slowed your material significantly, and have not used some sort of frame blending/optical flow processing, you may be simply duplicating frames to create the additional material to pad the playback. The flashing you see is the result of this.
good luck.

Why are RMAs always rendered behind any other Annotation (e. g. Watermark) on the page?

I cannot seem to get an RMA be played in front of another Annotation on the page, even if the RMA is added after the other Annotation (and the indirect object reference of the RMA goes after the other one in the /Annots array of the page dictionary). As an example, if there is a watermark on the page, it is rendered on top of (that is, overlaying) the activated RMA which is not what I want. Is there a way to force RMAs to be rendered in front of other annotations?

Inactive RMAs are treated as page content, so any regular annotations (or layers such as watermarks) will naturally go over them. You can put inactive RMAs into OCGs and stack them among other stuff on the page, as you're only seeing the poster image.
Active RMAs always bubble to the top of the display stack, with one exception - a watermark can still appear above an active RMA provided the watermark has the scaling option turned on.

Why are links to renders lost at shutdown or during edit?

Refer
The problem: clips that have been rendered and saved lose their connections to preview files when the project is reopened. These are clips that are dynamically linked to an AE project. These clips were extremely slow to connect, showing “Media Pending” for a very long time,
And in the most recent instance, after editing a one-minute section of unrelated-to-the-prior-renders footage, many render links went away. Some were from the VFX clips, some from clips that have lived quietly in the project since the beginning.
Additional issue: Transcode test for colorist was unsuccessful on several tries. I used a section of the project and rendered any red-lined clips. Then:
Project manager
Consolidate and transcode
Match: Sequence
Format: Quicktime
Preset: Apple ProRes 422 - HD 1080p 29.97
Exclude unused clips
Rename Media files to match clip name
Convert After Effects compositions to Clips
I received this error:

Additional issue:
A clip dynamically linked to AE now shows the message "Frame not analyzed for stabilization. Click Analyze."
I clicked Edit Original, found the AE composition. Warp Stabilizer was active. A few frames at heads showed the error. I clicked "analyze". When finished, the PR project lost all preview links for about 20-30 of the VFX shots.
And I'd just got the whole project rendered and green-lined.
Clicking undo on the AE project did not help.
Since I hadn't done anything else in Pr, I closed the project without saving changes. Upon reopen, all preview links were intact.
Thanks for any help on this.

Why are all my page backgrounds white on all websites?

<blockquote>Locking duplicate thread.<br>
Please continue here: [/questions/781811]</blockquote><br>
I have 2 desktops. Only has the problem. The other one does not have the problem. All backgrounds are white when I open up Firefox on my desktop which requires a password for me to get into. (I am the administator). The other desktop does not exhibit the problem when I open Firefox.
Also, I seem to have a similar problem with applications loaded on my computer that have nothing to do with Firefox.

You can use your Time Machine backup to restore to an earlier time where your desktop wasn't full. We have no idea what you or another user did to create this, if you have more information that would be helpful.
Also are you still on 10.5.8?

Why are huge images rendered lo-res in Safari?

I wanted to enjoy the new display in all it's glory so I found some full res sample images from new Canon 5d Mark III and Nikon D8. Oddly when I open them on the new iPad they automatically shrink from 7000 x 4000 px to 1440 x 600.
I'm a Windows & Android user and new to Apple. I can't find the settings anywhere for these image and browser options.

If you are exporting as sRGB then you are viewing in two different workspaces as Lightroom uses ProPhoto RGB. Try exporting to Elements as ProPhoto RGB and make sure your settings in Elements is set to Optimize for computer screens (Edit >> Color Settings).
It will also help if you zoom in to at least 25% when viewing in the Elements Editor.

Why are my duotone images turning black and white when put in indesign?

why are my duotone images turning black and white when put in indesign?
I have been playing duo and montotone images into indesing with no trouble. Then all of a sudden as I placew them they go black and whitre. I have tried everything from re saving, re making in photoshop and differant colours et5c. But nothing seems to wrok. The images already in my document arew fine it is just new ones. If someone could help that would be great

Can you start a new document and then load one of the duotones known to be good in the working file and have it correct? If so, try one of the duotones known to be bad in the working document in the new file. Does it work?
If no to either suggestion, can you share one of the images known to be good and one known to be bad? ZIP 'em up and upload to dropbox and plop a link here. Or, to keep the file sizes down, you can quickly make a new set and provide those.
As well, the ID version and OS info would probably be helpful.
Take care, Mike

Why are previews in Bridge blurry (not rendering properly)?

Why are previews in Bridge blurry (not rendering properly)?
I found a simple answer to this question: control click on the thumbnail and select "purge cache for selection"
After years of intermittently having this problem, this solved the issue. I had just finished a fresh install of main sys hd (new hd) and first time opening bridge encountered this issue again after not having the problem for a few years.
Hope this helps others.

Pdf page rendered as white on white (works perfectly in windows, though)

Hi. I found an annoying bug on *all* my apple products.
One pdf page in a book I am reading is rendered as white on white on any iOS or Mac OS software.
The text is there (I can select it, highlight it, etc) but I could not find any way to display it.
The curious things are:
Last year I did not have this problem
the pdf is displayed withuot any problem on any windows machine I tried
(this is a screenshot of the page)
Any idea why this is happening, and how to solve it?

Both your Conduit Engine, particularly, and Alexa Toolbar are known troublemakers. I would advise Googling both for advice and removal instructions.
I'm not sure it is a good idea to have both Foxit and Adobe Reader.

Why are most of my keywords not included when I export images?

Why are most of my keywords not included when I export images?
Since starting with Lightroom 1, I've entered keywords into either of the two fields between "keyword tags" and "keyword suggestions" in the keywording panel. I was unaware that some keywords are more equal than others, or that Lightroom offered (or has added?) hierarchy support.
I recently stumbled into the news (to me) that Lightroom tags can be organized into a hierarchy, so I exported my keywords to a text file to examine. I hadn't unwittingly created any hierarchies, but an astounding fraction of the keywords were within square brackets. Sure enough, if I export an image, keywords within square brackets are omitted from the output (jpeg) file. How nice. Since I began with Lightroom 1, I've added nearly 1600 keywords.. Too bad most of them are coded wrong... so as not to accompany output that I create.
1.     What was I supposed to do, as a photographer beginning to use Lightroom, to enter keywords simply but reliably: what I type is what I get? I'd expected that's what the "just type here" interface would provide.
I especially dislike obtaining erratic results: most keywords are in square brackets, but a few are not. Of course, when I use a simplified interface, I should expect not to have access to some of the options or features. However, I shouldn't inadvertently trigger undocumented behavior.
2.     Does the Adobe reference help system say how to enter keywords simply and reliably, in its documentation of the keywording panel? I don't find my answer under the Keywords topic, within Home / Using Photoshop Lightroom 3 / Organizing photos in the catalog.
(I NOW realize that the instructions for the "Create/Edit keyword tags" dialog mention exporting. However, that's not the method I was using.)
Dick Rawson

I'm afraid that I distracted you with my background mention of hierarcharial keywords; I'm not asking about them.
I've entered keywords for several years of using Lightroom. Suddenly, this week, I find that most (yet not all) of them have the attribute of "don't include the keyword in an exported file's metadata." I never intended to ask for that; I thought all keywords will stay with the file and its offspring, and that's what I wanted.
So I'm asking:
1.     What did I do "wrong" to induce Lightroom to give the keywords that attribute? I never intended to ask it to.
2.     Where does Adobe document how to enter keywords reliably so that they stay with the file on output? I can't find that Adobe does.
> Can you be more clear about keywords in square brackets? I know when you export the keywords as a list you can get a normalized data file that uses punctuation and tabs as delimiters...
I did export the keywords into such a list: most keywords in the plain-text list have square brackets surrounding them, indicating keywords that will be omitted from metadata of any image that Lightroom exports.
My concern is not that the brackets are there. They encode the attribute of "don't include the keyword in an exported file's metadata," and recognizing that attribute concerns me.
> ...but I've never seen keywords in image files or in the interface rendered so.
I haven't, either.

Why are my stills blurry?

Please help wise ones. I have a problem in my timeline, after I render my project (1 hour long), a lot of stills blurred or jumped, I have to find the original still, copy & then do a paste attributes to the ones that are in the timeline. Not all stills are blurred after rendering, please help me b/c I can't always see the flawed file until I watch the output. Has anyone had this problem? I thought it was a QT issue & updated, not it. The problems are random therefor hard to figure it out. Please help with your thoughts.

In your Stock do you have the explanation why Apple changed the "windows resolution so you could use macbook with an external broadcast"!
No. I don't know why Apple does what they do.
MacBook and external broadcast? Not possible, not with HD anyway. DV? Firewire out from computer to camera or DV bridge, to monitor. HD? Broadcast monitoring? Get a professional computer.
It he posted that he was working in a Macbook, let´s try to help him with other "could be" problems!
That IS the problem. I just addressed WHY it looks pixelated. Because FCP doesn't present the footage full quality in the Canvas...so you can get more RT and less (none hopefully) dropped frames. Want to know what it REALLY looks like? Need the pro gear and the proper monitoring. Can't even use the MXO on the MacBooks, can you? Or is there some adapter to get DVI out? IF so, that is the solution.

Explanation - Why are IAS 9i and an RDBMS both needed ?

Why are IAS 9i and an RDBMS both needed ? After all, IAS 8I/9I does contain a "database" in it -- but Oracle calls it a "data cache" !!
Here's why ...
The IAS 8I/9I "data cache" is intended to be a "performance enhancment" mechanism to avoid network round trips to the back end rdbms (called the 'origin' database in IAS terminology) for "rarely changing" data or application code accessed/used in the IAS 8I/9I mid-tier.
The IAS "data cache" was initially extracted from rdbms 8.1.6 to use in IAS 8i (aka IAS 1.0.0 or 1.0.1) and now rdbms 8.1.7 to use in IAS 9i (formerly referred to as IAS 1.0.2).
This was because the complete architecture and functionality needed to provide the IAS 9i's "performance enhancing read only" cache functionality already exists in the oracle 8i rdbms.
(talk about o-o wanting to have high reusability !!)
How about a practical application of why would you do this ??
Think of the web site activity of a major online order system, for example, a ".com" that sells books. We can all think of the famous ones who would be ideal users of this type of design.
Most of the transaction activity in an online order system is customers "browsing" the product catalog, looking at the
descriptions of the books they might consider to buy. When a customer identifies a desired book, the customer can place an order.
This typical customer behavior looks at the description for each book which is "rarely changing" information that is normally accessed in a "read only" mode.
To improve performance for this online order system, the "rarely changing" information can be stored (or "cached") on the mid-tier in IAS 8i/9i's "data cache".
How do this improve performance ??
With the information available in the mid-tier "data cache", network roundtrips by IAS 8i/9I applications to the 'origin' rdbms are avoided, reducing the workload on the network and the 'origin' rdbms.
Why do i still need a back-end or 'origin' rdbms along with ias 9i ?
You still need the 'origin" database as the "master repository" for your books, their inventory system, and orders placed with your business.
You also have the other necessary business systems they may or may not take advantage of the IAS design -- like shipping, payroll, Human Resources, etc.
What happens if the data changes ?
I kept repeating "read only" -- so - the next question is what do you do with "new or changing" data - like placing an order or updating the inventory ?
Since the "master copy" of the information is retained on the origin rdbms, then all changes will occur there.
When a new book is added or an existing book's information is updated or a book is dropped from the inventory, these changes are applied to the origin database.
This information is then "refreshed" on the IAS 8I/9I "data cache" using the "management policies" available within IAS 8I/9I.
These policies controls how and when to "refresh" the IAS 8I/9I data cache.

In the following document:
1) "Oracle9i Application Server Technical White Paper" located at :
http://technet.oracle.com/products/ias/pdf/9ias_102.pdf
don -- right
At the bottom of page 16 and the top of page 17 is the following....
'The Java engine inside Oracle9i AS is the Oracle JVM.'....
don -- right --- new name is Enterprise Java Engine (EJE)
'The Oracle JVM is integrated in Oracle9i AS, giving it the same advantages and benefits available to the Oracle Database ...'. '
don -- almost right -- you left the key phrase off of it ...
it is completed as follows : (CAPS - are mine for emphasis)
'The Oracle JVM is integrated in Oracle9i AS, giving it the same advantages and benefits available to the Oracle Database FOR EXECUTING JAVA BASED APPLICATIONS ON THE SERVER'. '
STEVE --
that's why i made the comment in the previous post which i've copied below :
I don't think of it as a "database" even though some literature might refer to it as one in IAS 9i standard edition !!
The term "database" has a lot of extra functions with it that are not in IAS 8i/9i!!
for example, most RDBMS's have :
1) updateable tables, etc.
2) backup and recovery of data requirements
3) etc.
That's what makes the EJE in IAS different from an RDBMS -- the extra rdbms functrions are not needed...
That's why I think of it as a "Java Code Container" that holds the Oracle Enterprise Java Engine(EJE) in it. I was stuck on this also - now i can mentally exclude all of that extra functionality by calling it a "java code container" and not thinking of it as a "database".
Since Oracle JVM is the common Java environment for both the Oracle database and Oracle9i AS,...'.
The above gave me the impression that 9i AS has a JVM independent of a database.
don -- 9i AS has a JVM independent of a database -- they are the same item -- a "stripped down" database or as i call it a "Java Code Container" that holds the Oracle Enterprise Java Engine(EJE) -- formerly called the oracle 8i jvm -- in it.
i think the term "database" in the literature is being used to emphasize where it came from (stable oracle 8i -- as opposed to totally new technology)
but
i personally think the term "database" implies to many people, it is a "fully functional rdbms" ... so they assume they don't need a back end -- or in ias terms -- an 'origin' rdbms.
However -- i think this is where the confusion is ..
as people understand the differences between ias and rdbms, they soon realize they must have an rdbms.
However, the administrative instructions (that deal with setting up OSE) seem to point that the JVM is in a database.
don -- right -- it is a "stripped down" database or a a "Java Code Container" as i call it.
you still need to deploy the java code (servlets, jsp's, ejb's, corba, and java stored procs) to it.
The command line functions that you use to do that with the 8.1.7 rdbms -- still apply.
Commands like :
loadjava, deployejb, dropjava, sess_sh, publishjsp, publishservlet, etc.
Note :
Obviously ias 8i "EJE" or ORACLE 8i JVM (the old name), is based upon the rdbms 816 functions (no OSE in it), so you can't deploy servlets and jsp's to the ias 8i EJE just like you can't to the 816 rdbms.
I do find this subject (where is the JVM located) very confusing.
don - right -- but you are picking it up -- hang in there !!
Steve you asked --
Don - is the EJE (OSE/OJVM) implemented through a database?
'The Java engine inside Oracle9i AS is the Oracle JVM.'....
don - right
keep in mind from a java perspective -- the EJE is a "Stripped down" database that acts like a java code container that you connect to -- just like in 817 --- so you can deploy your code to it.
it's also a jvm -- and you execute your deployed java code in it -- just like in 817.
i hope this helps and i didn't confuse this topic further for you ...
