Canvas viewing and safe areas

Hello
I have many video cips in a time line, when I am not playing I see the safe zones displayed, when I play, they go away. Is there a way to continue to see safe zones as I play in the canvas. I am not sure that it is even supported, but if it is, I am not finding the selection to turn on.
thanks
les

A much easier workaround would be to create a guide in photoshop using the photoshop NTSC preset guides, import it into Final Cut and lay it in the top video track.
If you dont use Photoshop, you can apply the viewfinder filter (Effects/Video Filters/Video/Viewfinder) to the black slug in your Viewer, then drag it to the timeline and modify the scale and the aspect ratio to match safe title/safe action guides, put it on the uppermost video track, select it and goto Modify/Composite Mode and choose Add. Just remember to hide it before you Export or put to tape.

Asuri - with all these questions you are posting it looks like you are sitting and exam or an interview. The best advice I can give you is the skill of being able to research answers yourself.
I would encourage you to get familiar with the online help and the various documents on OTN - this will give you knowledge; not just answers.

Export views and business areas from dev to prod.

Hi Gurus,
I am using oracle database 10gR2 and Oracle BI Discoverer Administration 10gR2.
I have an End User Layer disadmin1 with 10 business areas. This EUL also have folders for the views in its own schema. I used original import/export utility to export this EUL from Development to Production environment.I exported the schema disadmin1 form development and imported it into production into same shcema disadmin1 (This exported the views too) . It is absolutely working fine.
Now I have to develop 5 more business areas in the same EUL as phase 2 development I am keeping the EUL disadmin1 for bug fixing for initial 10 BAs, and I have another EUL disadmin2 to develop new business areas. For these new business areas, I have to firrst create views and then create folders on these views in disadmin2. I will export the new business areas form discoverer utility 'Selected Business Areas' from disadmin2 and will import them into production in original EUL disadmin1. My problem is how can I export new views from development to production.
Thanks for the help.

With Discoverer, there is not necessarily one right way to do things. There is certainly nothing wrong with the process you are doing. I believe Oracle had a different process in mind with Oracle, but that does not mean your process is wrong. Did you install the seeded (Oracle term) business areas that come with Discoverer, and activated the business views for those Oracle business areas? Put those into Production and your users can develop workbooks on the fly in Production, rather than wait for something to go through a development-test-production process. Which can be good or bad depending on your individual situation. As for creating new views, I suggest talking to your Oracle technical team to see what process they have for approving new views in production and getting those views created. I would suggest getting those approved and created first before relying on using them for Discoverer development (just in case the creation is not approved), but that is just my opinion.

The "read" emails in one of my 3 email accounts have disappeared. I changed no settings and checked the view and they are gone. I need them back! Help!

Suddenly my main email account is not showing the emails I've kept in line...the other accounts haven't changed at all. I changed no settings, checked everything, no tags are in place. I shut down the program and opened it and nothing. I need those messages back! Where could they be??? Thank you in advance for any help you can give me!

There are several possible reasons that messages seem to 'disappear'.
There are two types of email accounts: IMAP and POP. See https://support.mozilla.org/en-US/kb/glossary-terms-including-types-accounts
If you have a POP account and are accessing the mail on more than one computer or smartphone, whichever device reads (downloads) the message first will have it locally, but it will no longer be listed or available on the other devices.
If you have an IMAP account, the message stays on the server, but if one device (user) moves or deletes the message, it will affect the view on all devices. So, for example, if you are using your smartphone and take some action on an email, when you get back to your computer, it will reflect that same action (but you might not have realized what caused it).
Sometimes the index of a mail folder (.msf) will get corrupted. If you right click on the name of the folder and select Properties, a 'Folder Properties' window will open. Select 'Repair Folder'. This may take care of the problem.
Another, less likely, reason for messages not to show up in your inbox is having the preference set to show only unread or recent messages. Then once you read them they seem to disappear.
If you are still having problems, please look at the following items and respond with the information.
1) What operating system do you use (Win8, MAC, Linux, etc)?
2) Are you using IMAP or POP?
3) If your mail server has a browser interface (web mail access such as mail.google.com), do the messages show up there?
4) Right click on the folder in question and select Properties.
a) Number of messages?
b) Size on disk?
5) Left click on the account name; View settings for this account; highlight Server settings;
What choices are marked under "When I delete a message"?
6) What, if any, antivirus program do you have installed?

TV Safe Area vs. Standard Crop Area ?

What is the difference between:
View - TV Safe Area
and
View - Standard Crop Area ?

This is from iDVD Help.
+_Checking the TV safe boundaries of an iDVD menu_+
+*When you create a project, you may not know what kind of technology viewers will use to watch your DVD. For example, if you create a widescreen project and your viewers have standard television screens, some parts of your DVD may not be visible. Also, some television sets may not show the outer edge of your DVD menus and movies.+*
*+If you know that your DVD will be viewed on a television screen (not a computer screen), you can check your project to make sure all elements of it will be visible to viewers.+*
+To see the TV safe boundaries for your project:+
+Make sure the menu you want to check is showing in the iDVD window.+
+Choose View > Show TV Safe Area.+
+A shaded area appears on the menu. The inner area that is not shaded is visible on most television sets.+
+If your project is widescreen, with a 16:9 aspect ratio, choose View > Show Standard Crop Area.+
+The area inside the boundaries is visible on a standard television screen.+
The reference to Crop Area deals with the ratio of the image dimensions. The TV safe area is best described by the section in Bold above.
I hope this helps.

Best practice for making changes to Oracle apps business views and BAs/fold

HI
The oracle BI solution comes with pre-defined Business Views- database views and Business Areas and folders. If we want to customize those database views or BAs and folders what will be the best practice in order to avoid losing it during any upgrades.
For ex Oracle out-of box Order Management BA that we are using heavily needs some additional fields to be added to Order Header and Order Lines folders and we also want to add some custom folders to this BA.
If we do the changes to the database views behind this BA would they be lost during the upgrade or do we have to copy(duplicate) those views, updated them and create a custom BA and folders against those views.
Thanks

Hi,
If you are adding new folders then just add them to the Oracle Business Area. The business area is just a collection of folders. If the business area was changed in an upgrade the new folder would not be deleted.
If you want to add fields to the existing folders/views then you have 2 options. Add the field to the defining base view (these are the views beginning OEBV and OEFV) and then regenerate the business views. This may be overwritten if the view is upgrade but this is unlikely.
Alternatively, copy the view to create a new version and then map the old folder to the new view and refresh. You may need to re-map the folder if the folder is upgraded, but at least you have a single folder used by both Oracle and custom reports.

Same Code in ordinary view and Materialised View is performing differentl

I am currently working on a Data Warehouse Project hooked off the back of an accounting system. It takes data from an old system and data from a new system and uses both for Corporate Reporting.
For Historical and Legacy Reporting reasons it is necessary to keep the Transaction Codes in the system at three characters. so anything that occurs that is less than three characters is padded to the left with zero's.
The line of code that does this is ...
CAST(LPAD(TRIM(TransactionCode),3,0) AS VARCHAR2(3)) AS TransactionCode
There are then 2 Views.
The first is a Materialised View, this contains 21 days worth of data for short term reporting and manipulation. In here this code seems to work perfectly.
The second is an ordinairy real time View that spans all data available, within here the Transaction Codes are not padded, but remain at their random 1 or 2 digit lengths.
In both views the field is defined as a VARCHAR2(3)
This is not a data issue, as the 21 days will fall within the ordinairy view and there are no examples in the ordinary view of this working.
The only thing that I can think of is if the character that is used for padding in the LPAD statement needs to be in quotes, I will try this, but I dont get why this would work in a Materialised View and not a View.
Can anyone shed any light on why this might occur ???
Many Thanks in advance

Canvas view is pixelated

I am learning FCE. When I bring in a video into the viewer, it looks good. I drag it into the time line and want to view it in the Canvas viewer and it is pixelated. What to I need to do to change that?
Still pictures that I have imported look fine.

2 years ago I bought this Mac and FCE with the intent on using it for video editing. I beat my head for a few months and bailed out and went back to the PC and Sony Vegas. I could no longer handle the fussyness of video not being in the "right format". At that time I was frustrated with the need for constant rendering whenever I edited a clip.
I thought I could give this another try but this is reminding me why I left FCE. Thanks for trying to help me. I love the Mac but the video editing is not very user friendly.

Survey View and Reordering Slideshow Images

I'm sure you all know this one but I searched the forum to learn how to rearrange Slideshow images and the only answer was "...you just drag them around." That didn't seem to work for me. I went to Library Module, selected my Folder, selected Survey View (the choices down toward the bottom where one finds the various view options). In Survey View, one can move the images around into your personal order. Go back to Thumbnail view and images are where you want them -- so is your Slideshow. Please forgive me for injecting this when you probably know this but I didn't (and maybe someone else out there doesn't know this)

No Such thing as a limited version. Only dif is a serial number. Press 'T' for Toolbar and one of the Icons on it is for Survey Mode. Keyboard Shortcut 'N'.
Only thing Limited here is the amount of reading you've done in this fourm.

Difference between view and synonym

i want the difference between view and synonym ,and also the cases where view and synonym are used

How this is related to 'issues and concerns with downloads' is beyond my understanding. Your question seems to be related to database and should be re-issued in the database forums.
In the mean time, the definitions of each are given at http://download.oracle.com/docs/cd/B19306_01/server.102/b14220/intro.htm#sthref69

Viewer and Canvas are whacked

FCP 5.0.3 works great on my iMac G4 (Flat panel) 15"
So, I get a shiny new 17" Powerbook (brand new 120GB/DDR2 model) - spend 2.5 hours installing FinalCut Studio and begin moving projects over.
Low and behold - I capture some video in standard DV (4.3) and all goes well. BUT, when I try to view it in either the Viewer or drop it into the timeline and look at it in the Canvass - I get audio - but the video is STUCK.
If I click elsewhere in the timeline (viewer and canvass) - I see the new frame. This only works on the first click. I try to play or scrub - I hear audio, but the video is stuck on that or the first frame.
The same happens with imported video. All video I am dealing with are FCP native - either exported from FCP or captured through FCP.
I have even carefully compared my settings (user, system and AV Devices) with those settings on my iMac.
Only differences between machines is:
iMac = 1GB RAM/160GB HDD and 15" LCD Screen (1440x900/millions/iMac profile)
Powerbook = 512MB RAM (New RAM not yet available) / 120GB HDD/17" LCD screen (1680x1050/millions/color lcd profile)
Both systems have the same OSX Tiger and FCS updates.
GAWD - any help will be GREATLY appreciated.
Kind rgards

SHEESH - I found my own answer after some real experimenting.
BTW - I intend to crank this thing to 2GB - when the RAM becomes available to buy (not available, yet, tho - channel trickle is slow)
ANYWAY -
I found that external video was playing great. So I opened the same project on both computers and went through the menus ONE-BY-ONE to find the difference.
Well - I found the answer.
RECAP:
Video was not playing in viewer or canvas when scrubbed to played. Just a frozen frame.
HOWEVER, the video was playing fine externally.
I don't know if this is how it is supposed to work, but this setting seemed to cause the problem:
Make the timeline the active window.
Select: VIEW>EXTERNAL VIDEO>OFF - this fixed the problem. It was set to ALL FRAMES - which seemed to cause the problem.
There - answer discovered for anyone else who may run into this.
And - thank you, Studio X for your incredibly fast reply. Though I may not have explained the problem clearly as your answer was tried before I posted (it also is the answer to a few other problems I've seen in other posts)
Kind regards, All.

Color profile for Viewer and Canvas?

I've noticed that the color of the video in the FCPro 4.5 Viewer and Canvas looks absolutely nothing like the color when I output to DVD or QuickTime movie. (The video in FCPro seems to be much darker.) Is there a way to make the Viewer and Canvas look more analagous to what I'm going to get on final output?
Thanks.

Nope. Computer monitors colors have such a wide range that they are very unreliable. This is why it is best to hook up a TV, or better yet a properly calibrated NTSC Monitor (the latter only if you are producing professional video).
#8 External Monitor Viewing.
Shane's Stock Answer #8:
A simple path is mac > firewire > camera or deck > rca cables > tv
Then start up your camera and tv, then open fcp.
Then go View > External video > all frames
Video playback should be Apple firewire NTSC (If you are using an NTSC set)
Audio playback should be Audio follows Video
Techinially, this should send synched video to your TV
If for some reason you can't view your timeline on your external monitor, there are a few things to try:
1) Make sure that the camera/deck is connected and powered on BEFORE you open FCP.
2) In the Final Cut Pro menu select AUDIO/VIDEO Preferences and make sure your signal is being sent out thru Firewire DV.
3) Go to the menu and select VIEW>EXTERNAL>ALL FRAMES.
4) Click in the % box above the image and select FIT TO WINDOW.
5) Go to VIEW->refresh A/V devices
6) Make sure the Log & Capture window is closed
If you want it to play in both the canvas and the external monitor you need to go to the FINAL CUT PRO menu and select AUDIO/VIDIO settings and make sure MIRROR ON DESKTOP is selected under the PLAYBACK OUTPUT section

16:9 viewer and canvas

Ok, this is a simple thing, yet it is bothering me. Every time I see a picture of someone using FCE, the viewer and canvas are widescreen. I can't seem to get my canvas and viewer to be widescreen. I can work with widescreen just fine, but I have grey bars above and below the image. My viewer and canvas are in 4:3 ratio. Can anyone explain how to get the viewer and canvas into a 16:9 ratio?
Thanks
Alex

I am assuming that you are working with standard definition DV but have the camera set to the 16:9 setting? If so, you need to change the Easy Setup setting to DV-NTSC Anamorphic. After changing that setting create a new Project, or from the current project, just create a new Sequence (since the existing default first Sequence will still be using the DV-NTSC setting). Once you open the new Sequence, click Window, Arrange and choose one of the existing settings (Standard, Compositing, or Small Windows). The Viewer and Canvas window should automatically switch to the widescreen 16:9 format with no grey bars. The Browser and Timeline windows will also resize to match the changes in the Viewer and Canvas.

FCP 7, viewer and canvas window is dark in lion

How to fix this problem???

The image in the Viewer and Canvas windows are 1 to 2 apperture too dark. When I convert a timeline to .mov file into Compressor or Quicktime converter, has the picture (movie) the right exposure ...
hope my English is understandable...
