In Photoshop, Image > Adjustments > Threshold, and no need to convert to monochrome first. Adjust the slider for the desired effect.

You can get this error if you try to open a project that was saved by one version of FCP in an earlier version. Is this possibly what’s happening?

If you want to just “slowly lose synch” you really only have to slow down one clip slightly, same speed throughout. It will start out in synch and since it is a shorter clip now, it will finish before the original. This whole time it will gradually go further out of synch. The amount you slow it down will determine how fast this effect is noticed. You don’t need to “progressively” slow it down unless you want that slow, garbled “HAL” effect.

Resintalling did the trick, restored Save for Web and all the right filters. Activation not an issue, didn’t come up. All is well, thanks for suggestions.

This was installed originally as a standalone version of PS CS2, not part of Creative Suite, so I don’t believe version queue was ever part of it (I see no evidence of it). Don’t know why you don’t see those other choices in the File menu; Jump points to more choices which I can’t see because it’s grayed out. I trashed preferences with no effect.

I discovered something else – my Filters menu is very much truncated from what it is supposed to have in it. Not just grayed out; the bulk of the filters are just not there. I am suspecting that my “migration” from the other computer was incomplete and I’m going to have to reinstall to get everything back. I tried an online update from 9.0 (current) to 9.0.2 and it went fine until the very end when it said that it failed – no further explanation. I hate that.

I am nervous about the activation process after I reinstall; Adobe has gotten very picky with DRM. It wll be to the same computer that it is currently activated on; will the reinstall recognize that, or will I get into an ugly loop of having to deactivate first on the same computer?

Thanks for any wisdom.

Yes, Activate and Register are both grayed out in the Help menu. Activation went smoothly and there have been no (other) problems since.

All images are 8 bit.

“Save a version” and “Jump” are other options in the File menu, which are also grayed out. I only mentioned them because they are in the same menu; I have no idea if they are relevant.

Don’t know what you mean by the “evil version que”.

Any other ideas? Online help has proved useless.

If they are .dv files, then I believe that means “DV Stream” format, which is what iMovie captures. Are these files from iMovie? FCP will import these without further conversion, but the audio portion is problematic – audio will have to be rendered, every time you make the slightest change. I think you could overcome this by exporting your timeline to a QT movie then bring it back in again.
