Hi James,

Thanks for the reply, I’ll try the PSD export.

I finally just switched the Color Correction plugin from the 3-Way to one that comes with the Matrox RT.X2 card and it’s worked.

Cheers,
Clint

Try EQ and/or a High Pass Filter.

You can amplify the frequencies over 5k and attenuate everything under 3 or so.

Those are example numbers, of course you’ll have to play around and adjust to your specific frequencies, but that should be a start.

What’s wierd is the file does have a .mov file extension!

I think I’ve done about as much as I can for the client, I’ll just have to wait for the h.264 file from them in the morning.

Thanks again,
Clint

Hi Tom & Rafael,

Thanks for the replies. After talking to the client, the video icon on the client’s side is a QuickTime logo with a FCP Clapper Board and on my Vista machine, it’s just a normal QT logo. It makes me think there some FCP codec or header info attached to this file that I can’t touch.

I’ve tried opening the file with everything Adobe, Canopus ProCoder 3, QuickTime Pro and GSpot… and each are throwing an error. Most of the errors are generic and/or unspecific.

I haven’t gotten anything to work, so I’ve asked the client to export an h.264 which I can open with QT 7.

I’m going to be encoding this to mpeg-2 and our encoders are better than what the client has so I was just hoping there was a good plug-in or hotfix that I could try.

If you know of anything else I can try I’d like to hear it!

Cheers,
Clint

Hi Ceci,

All you need to do is change the End Action of the video.

I do this usually in the Flowchart View (F5)

1. Click on the video
2. In the Properties Menu find the End Action PicWhip
3. Instead of just dragging to the Menu, you can PicWhip to the actual chapter name that you want to be highlighted after the video plays.

Hope that helps,
Clint

I’ve never seen that error, but I know when I tried putting CS4 on a system running XP Pro 64, hardly anything Adobe was working.

I don’t believe most things are supported with XP 64.

There could be an answer, but that’s a possible cause.

Sorry,
Clint

I’ve never known Dynamic Links to be a 2-way street. If you bring a PP timeline in to Encore, change markers on the PP timeline, the Encore markers will be changed to match PP.

Maybe someone out there has a solution.

Hi Fernando,

Yeah I the rotation works well, but I was trying to get the other pictures that don’t have a z-index of 2 to be invisible so only one is showing at a time. After sleeping on it for a night I think that I have a fix, but still need to check it out on other OS/Browsers.

https://www.castleford-printing.com/business-cards.html

I’ve just set all the images in the #photoShow to have an opacity of 0.0 and then gave the first image a .current class and then set that to have an opacity of 1.0.

Here’s the code incase anyone is curious:
$(function() {
setInterval("rotateImages()", 3000);

var clearPic = $("#photoShow div");
clearPic.animate({opacity:0.0},0);
var showInit = $("#photoShow div.current");
showInit.animate({opacity:1.0},500);
});

function rotateImages() {
var curPhoto = $("#photoShow div.current");

var nextPhoto = curPhoto.next();

if (nextPhoto.length == 0)
nextPhoto = $("#photoShow div:first");

curPhoto.removeClass("current").addClass("previous").animate({opacity:0.0},1000);
nextPhoto.css({opacity:0.0}).addClass("current").animate({opacity:1.0}, 1000,
function() {
curPhoto.removeClass("previous");
});
}

Thanks Fernando,

Clint

Hi Mike,

Thanks for the suggestions. I’ll look into any known incompatibilities of MainConcept and my Matrox card, and may be upgrading in the near future.

Kind Regards,
Clint

Hi Ann,
Thanks for the reply.

The wierd thing is that if I build a standard PAL Widescreen, bring the footage in and put it on the timeline, it’s streched fat, like my second picture.

I then go to Interpret Footage and it’s already set to D1/DV PAL Widescreen 16:9(1.4587)

Should I go back to the company that converted the footage from DigiBeta and see if they can do anything?

In the mean-time, converting it to D1/DV PAL (1.0940) looks alright, so I’ll experiment with that.

Thanks again,
Clint
