New camera, problems with capture setting

Hi-
I just got a new Canon Vixia HD30. I'm using FCP 5.1.3, and I can't find the correct settings for capture. I've tried a variety of mix and match between the camera settings (HDV, HDV30, HDV24, etc.) and the available settings on FCP (HDV, HDV 1080i60, etc.) but I'm not getting full functionality. It is recognizing the camera when I go to Log and Capture and I can capture clips when the FCP setting is HDV, but there are two problems:
1. (most significant) The captured clips need rendering when I put them in the timeline.
2. The captured clips, when opened as clips, are not synched with the audio. (I've had this issue before with a previous camera, many years ago, but can't seem to solve it this time.)
Please help!
Thanks,
Zack

Dear Zach,
Did you ever solve this problem? I've run into the same issues: having to render clips captured from a new Canon Vixia HV30 when I put them in my timeline. A considerable waste of time. I just wonder if you ever figured it out.
Thanks,
Steve

New camera problems with cs6

I have upgraded from a Canon 60D to a full frame 6D When I am in LR and want to bounce over to CS6 using my lightroom adjustments I click the EDIT IN option from the drop down menu in LR and choose CS6... ps will load but the work area is blank. Now if I use a image from my files that came from my 60 D this dosent happen at all.The 60D images load right into PS to be further edited. This makes no sense to me and I hope it makes sense to someone else.

What version of camera raw do you have for PS? You should have at least 7.3 for the 6D.

Problem with capture

Hello everyone, I have a problem with capturing HDV tape, not that I'm doing wrong and I would like if possible someone could help me until now had captured no problem with the version Fine Cut Studio V.6, and captured clips are stored in the folder specified with the. mov, but now I'm doing it with version 7, and captured clips are stored as a Unix executable file and not as a video file. mov, thereby not You can open the file. Thanks for the help

Thanks, and can convert video files with a. Mov. But can it not be automatic unless it is misconfigured the "Easy setup" and the "Audio / Video Setting"?. I use a Canon camera that records in XLH1 HDV, which is the source of capture and compression I put Apple ProRes 422 (HQ). I tried several configurations but none can capture directly in. Mov, Can you tell me what the proper configración? recorded in HDV 108050i. thanks for your help Greetings

Problem with capturing of baselines

Hi !
I have a problem with capturing of baselines- when the SQL is called from PL/SQL code...
For example if I execute in SQL* Plus session
alter session set optimizer_capture_sql_plan_baselines = true;
exec dbms_mview.refresh('VIEW_CLIENT_KONTO', 'C');
exec dbms_mview.refresh('VIEW_CLIENT_KONTO', 'C');
nothing happens ..I do not find the baseline in dba_sql_plan_baselines...
========================================================
optimizer_use_sql_plan_baselines = TRUE..of course and I can capture baselines for plain SQL -only not if SQL ist invoked from PL/SQL..
Now, nowere in documentation could I find that capturing does not work from PL/SQL ..that would, in my opinion, be sderious disadvantage- so much code in the database runs as PL/SQL..
We habe Oracle 11.2.0.3 Enterprise Edition
optimizer_features_enable = 11.2.0.3
What could be worng here..did I forget certain parameter or setting. Thanks for your help in advance.

Now, nowere in documentation could I find that capturing does not work from PL/SQL ..that would, in my opinion,
be sderious disadvantage- so much code in the database runs as PL/SQL..You're quite right. It would be serious disadvantage.
But it's not true that they are not captured from PLSQL.

It's not likely to be relevant but perhaps we should just check it?

SQL> So, nothing to do with that.
I would suggest that it is because, being executed via DBMS_MVIEW, it is special and bypasses consideration for baselines.
Can we somehow circumvent this?
Perhaps, baselines being a pretty flexible vehicle that work off SIGNATURE (and PLAN_HASH_2).
Let's double check the signature and plan hash we need to reproduce.

SQL> So....
Are baselines created for sql statements executed from PLSQL? Yes.
Are baselines created for internal statements from DBMS_MVIEW? No.
Why? Don't know. But I think it's expected behaviour.
Is there a convoluted way of applying a baseline to the internal refresh statement? Yes.

Problem with subform set

Hi all ,
I am facing a problem with subform set. When i use two subform sets with same set of conditions in a form, only the first subform set works while the second one does nothing. Did any of you faced the same problem ? If so Please let me know the solution you came up with. Thanks.
SrPrabhu

Hi scott,
The problem is with subform set and not subform. In subform set, we can give conditions to make only one subform visible at a time that satisfies the condition. First create a subform set having more than one subform. Now apply the conditions to that subform set. Check if it works. I m sure it wil work. Now just make a duplicate copy of the same subform set. Place it in the same form so that now two subform sets are available. Now preview the form. U wil fine only one subform set working and the other one doesnt.
We can use any number of subform set within a form. If different conditions are applied to each subform set , it works fine.
i wonder now wat wud u do in case if we are in need of two subformset having the same condition in a form ?
Thanks,
Sr Prabhu

FMLE encoding stopped: Problem with capture device. Incorrect samples given by the device.

Hi Support,
I am trying to use FMLE to encode and stream video from an Axis P1346 IP camera, via Axis' Streaming Assistant software, to a Wowza server.
Everyting appears to be working perfectly and the encoding and resultant stream quality is excellent. Sometimes after a few hours and sometimes after just a few minutes, the encoding will stop with the following error:
Tue Mar 26 2013 11:47:18 : Session Stopped
Tue Mar 26 2013 11:47:18 : Problem with capture device. Incorrect samples given by the device. Stopping encoding session.
I have attached a recent log of a session that only lasted a few minutes - do you have any ideas on how to resolve this instability?

Problems with captured animation

Goodmorning,
We have a problem with captured animations.
We have created a few movies which have some captured animations.
When we play the movies, they do work. After saving and reopening most of them don't work anymore,
and only the part with the captured animation. The screens goes fully white while playing the animation.
Only the text balloons are visable...
We work on a group directory with captivate 3. Recently the flash player is updated to version 10.
We both are opening the files, not at the same time.
Questions:
Anybody aware of the problem ?
Anybody with any solution ?
Does anybody knows where captivate stores captured animations ?
For example. When I look in the library, i can see four captured animations, when i want to update them, i dont see any of them.
Brdgs Marc

Hi there
I believe you are talking about a Full Motion Recording (FMR). If this is Captivate 3, likely you are seeing an issue whereby Flash Player 10 is causing a problem.
If you revert to Flash Player 9 you should see the preview within Captivate again. Or, if you choose not to downgrade the Flash Player, you may elect to avoid previewing in Captivate and instead preview in the Web Browser.
Cheers... Rick

Is there a solution to ipad camera problems with iOS7?

Is there a solution to iPad camera problems with iOS7? Specifically, switching from back camera to front camera.

First, try a reset: hold down the home button along with the power button until you see the Apple, then let go.

IPad camera -problems with still shot, very grainy images indoors or atnight

Hello, I have the ipad 2 and am experiencing problems with the still camera shots (using the built in rear camera). The images are very grainy to such an extent that th ipad camera images are unusable when taken indoors (under full light), in early evening (under partial light) or at night (under normal indoor night lighting). I can not see any camera settings so not sure if this is a camera problem with my ipad2 or a more general problem with ipad 2 camera images. Any suggestions welcome as It means my iPad2 camera is effectively unusable

The cameras on the iPad won't produce the quality of photo that you'd get from a compact digital camera, and when the light isn't good there will be a noticeable graining. The cameras on the iPad are mainly for things such as FaceTime or for use in good light conditions - otherwise you'll get better results with a digital compact, or even something like an iPhone 4.

Problem with capturing image

Problem with capturing image. Logs included.
Also after deploying letters are swapped. System is on D drive, and data on C drive.
Any idea ?

Based on the logfiles:
SMSSITECODE=K01
SMSMP=SCCM.kolubara.local
you could also use DNSSUFFIX=kolubara.local

Weird Problem with FSB setting

Hi all,
I've just come across a weird problem with FSB setting.
If I set FSB to 229 my machine runs @ 1.6Ghz only.
When I set to 230 it runs @ 3.2Ghz (as it should).
Any ideas what could be causing this?
Thanks
Mick

Weird problem with capturing old 8mm tapes with my hi8 camera

ok, so i'm trying to capture an old 8mm tape from like 1995 i think, and when i capture nothing shows up. this might be a problem with the tape though because it won't even play on the camera. however, the weird thing is that when i push fastforward while it plays a very fuzzy image shows up of whats on the tape, but then when i play it in real time again it just shows blue screen. This is happening consistently with a few other tapes from the same time. Is this happening because the tapes are shot? or is there something i'm not doing right?

Are they tapes you shot? Could they be PAL? Sometime PAL or a tape recorded in a non-standard speed will only show up fuzzy in FF. Not sure if 8mm had an LP speed and whether all Hi-8 camcorders will play that back.

Problem with layer sets opening

Hi,
I have a problem open layer sets. In my script I get layers index and then iterate throught this layers.
Here is the script:
function getAllLayersByIndex(){
       function getNumberLayers(){
       var ref = new ActionReference();
       ref.putProperty( charIDToTypeID("Prpr") , charIDToTypeID("NmbL") )
       ref.putEnumerated( charIDToTypeID("Dcmn"), charIDToTypeID("Ordn"), charIDToTypeID("Trgt") );
       return executeActionGet(ref).getInteger(charIDToTypeID("NmbL"));
       function hasBackground() {
           var ref = new ActionReference();
           ref.putProperty( charIDToTypeID("Prpr"), charIDToTypeID( "Bckg" ));
           ref.putEnumerated(charIDToTypeID( "Lyr " ),charIDToTypeID( "Ordn" ),charIDToTypeID( "Back" ))//bottom Layer/background
           var desc = executeActionGet(ref);
           var res = desc.getBoolean(charIDToTypeID( "Bckg" ));
           return res
       function getLayerType(idx,prop) {
           var ref = new ActionReference();
           ref.putIndex(charIDToTypeID( "Lyr " ), idx);
           var desc = executeActionGet(ref);
           var type = desc.getEnumerationValue(prop);
           var res = typeIDToStringID(type);
           return res
       function getLayerVisibilityByIndex( idx ) {
           var ref = new ActionReference();
           ref.putProperty( charIDToTypeID("Prpr") , charIDToTypeID( "Vsbl" ));
           ref.putIndex( charIDToTypeID( "Lyr " ), idx );
           return executeActionGet(ref).getBoolean(charIDToTypeID( "Vsbl" ));;
       var cnt = getNumberLayers()+1;
       var res = new Array();
       if(hasBackground()){
    var i = 0;
          }else{
    var i = 1;
       var prop = stringIDToTypeID("layerSection");
       for(i;i<cnt;i++){
          var temp = getLayerType(i,prop);
          if(temp != "layerSectionEnds") res.push(i);
       return res;
       function getLayerVisibilityByIndex( idx ) {
           var ref = new ActionReference();
           ref.putProperty( charIDToTypeID("Prpr") , charIDToTypeID( "Vsbl" ));
           ref.putIndex( charIDToTypeID( "Lyr " ), idx );
           return executeActionGet(ref).getBoolean(charIDToTypeID( "Vsbl" ));
function makeActiveByIndex( idx, visible ){
    var desc = new ActionDescriptor();
      var ref = new ActionReference();
      ref.putIndex(charIDToTypeID( "Lyr " ), idx)
      desc.putReference( charIDToTypeID( "null" ), ref );
      desc.putBoolean( charIDToTypeID( "MkVs" ), visible );
   executeAction( charIDToTypeID( "slct" ), desc, DialogModes.NO );
var groups = getAllLayersByIndex();
    for(var i = groups.length-1; i >= 0 ; i--) {
      makeActiveByIndex( groups[i], true );
      ....working with layers....
I think, my problem is in function makeActiveByIndex, because it doesn't make active a folder and doesn't open it.
You can see it on this picture. Active layer set is "Skupina 1" and it is in layer set "hlavicka". But "hlavicka" is not open. WHY??
Can you help me fix this problem??
Thank you Domaneni

Hi, for the past days I've worked on a script to toogle opening and closing layeSets, I've taken the code that TeddyBear posted here: http://ps-scripts.com/bb/viewtopic.php?p=14773 and adjusted it a little bit, and that's what I came up with, I hope it will help you:

Serious camera problems with the Lumia 800

Hello everyone, I just want to share my experience with you.
I've been using an unlocked Lumia 800 for a week now and I actually like the phone, however these camera problems are just unacceptable.
The camera has SERIOUS white balance problems, and, for me the most important, the auto-focus is just ridiculous. It works bad, but focusing on "macro" objects is just a no go, even usin the touch focus or the "macro" focus mode. Another problem is the lens flare, which reflects how bad these optics might be. You really think that the Carl Zeiss branded optics anything here? Think again. My HTC Incredible S, with its "OEM" optics, (or the Iphone 4S or the SII) just humiliates this camera. Also, is that so hard to make a green square focus confirmarion?
How can they release a flagship device, with this price range, with these problems? No wonder why Nokia is where it is standing now, "almost" in a closing-doors status. They really need better engineers and programmers because everytime they let this happen with a device, they're tossing away their valuable customers. And they really deserve it.
And as I've been reading, the Lumia 900 is having the same problems... How sad is this?
Regards,
RR
Moderator's note; removed personal remarks

No, the camera is not that bad, it is actually decent in lowlight conditions @ISO100 (it automatically raises a bit, but it avoids the 800, unlike the auto-mode), with a good balance between noise and detail. However, In my opinion, that's the whole purpose in camera phones - point and shoot. If I could only take good photos if I find the perfect combination of settings for each situation, the versatility of camera phones would be zero. And of course, if I want "perfect" photos, I'll use my DSLR, but that's not an excuse for this camera, which performs worse that my previous E72.
And understand light and ff course this camera can take amazing photos, as those in flickr, but all cameras can do that. Some do need lots of effort and tries, some not. Even my old Sony Ericsson C902, which was **bleep**, could sometimes take some nice pics.
I'm not complaining about the full set of caracteristics, but about the details that ruin the whole.
- Lack of self-time;
- Metering is also inaccurate. Lots of clipped highlights;
- White balance is a mess with flash and indoors (incandescent or fluorescent lights);
- Lateral lens flare, which is bad and I'll upload an example soon.
- I believe the whole auto-focus is a bit inaccurate, but I can only really notice it in macro captures. This really incapacitates me of taking detailed document photos, which I usually do.
Overall, I'm really enjoying the phone experience, but the camera fails to impress mainly due to the lack of effort by the Nokia Developers to tweak the camera driver properly, which is pitiful.
Here's an example of a screen capture, at 15cm (any other phones I know can sharp-focus at this distance): notice the off-focus/blurred center, the whole image soft-focus, and those stained areas. Weird!

Problems with Capture Date when converting from PSE9

I'm trying to troubleshoot a problem I'm having when converting my PSE9 catalog to LR3.4. Specifically, about 20% of my images (abouit 2,500 out of 12,000) didn't import with capture dates. I can clearly see the correct capture dates in PSE9 Organizer, but when I view the same imported images in LR3.4, there is no date. This occurs with dates that I've modified in PSE9 as well as dates straight out of the camera.
This is a major problem for me because I'm used to organizing my photos in PSE9 using capture dates. On a related note, PSE9 allows you to set the capture date to a known year and unknown month, day, and time, but when imported into LR3, these dates are converted to Jan 01 of the known year. Sorry, but Jan 01 is not the same as unknown. Is there a way to correctly display unknown portions of a capture date in LR3 similar to the way it's displayed in PSE9?
Sorry if this has been discussed before.

How did you convert your catalog? Did you use File > Upgrade Photoshop Elements Catalog, or did you use File > Import Photos? You should use the former; the latter has many problems, among which PSE doesn't always correctly write medata (e.g. capture dates) into files. If you used File > Upgrade Photoshop Elements Catalog, post an image here and we can take a look at its metadata to troubleshoot.
function(){return A.apply(null,[this].concat($A(arguments)))}
On a related note, PSE9 allows you to set the capture date to a known year and unknown month, day, and time, but when imported into LR3, these dates are converted to Jan 01 of the known year.
Even though Adobe's XMP metadata standard allows for unknown month, day, or time, most programs including LR don't support it -- PSE is the only program I know of that does (and it has problems). I use the conveniton of 1/1 12:00:00 to represent unknown values.
See this FAQ for other issues with converting PSE catalogs to LR:
