Problem with PNG files

Some interesting responses - it does seem to be more mac related - although the size of your png's may be a factor (?)

If its a hire machine - Id definitely ask for a replacement - especially if your backup seems to be working fine. Without wanting to steal the job - I do have hire catalysts available if you get totally stuck - But do go back to your hire company first!

Try emailing the files directly to me and I'll take a look.

One point however - since you are only outputting 3 x 1024x768 through the TH2G-D, your still images don't need to be any larger than 3072x768 or 1024x768 each.

If you are blending the whole 3072x768 - use x-offset in each mix - or try splitting the 3072x768 file in to 3 x 1024x768 and use 3 layers and 3 mixes to re-construct the image. (see example pics attached)

Ignore the bottom %bar for stills!...

Hi simon,

I think my first port of call will be to image the backup machine and restore that onto the main to see whether its something i've accidentally changed in the software/os, but failing that a second computer will be on the cards methinks.

Your point about the resolution of the image is a very valid one, and indeed quite obvious when i think about it. Projector's native res is xga so i've changed it to something close to that, at least (1024x1089 is the closest photoshop will allow without screwing up the aspect)

I'm only blending outputs 1 & 2 and this suspected troublesome still is only used on the third output.

Good to know about the bottom bar not being accurate when using stills. I did notice that if i loaded a movie into another layer whilst the png was in layer 1 then the meter dropped to something sensible.

I'll report back on my findings.

Thanks for all your help
