Time differences between camera and iMovie

Hi,
When I import footage from my Mini-DV camera into iMovie I am seeing a difference between the time displayed on the tape and time displayed in iMovie. The camera says 48 seconds while iMovie says 44 seconds. I thought that it might be related to the framerate of the video in iMovie, but I have changed this to 25 fps which matches the video camera and am still seeing a different time. The framerate needs to be perfect as the footage is going to be shown side-by-side with a animated graph which builds with time.
Does anyone have any idea what could cause this time difference?
Thanks

< scratching head > we had something about a NTSC/PAL issue.. hmm.. ?
if possible, open an existing PAL project (window titles says DV-PAL), save it under a diff. name, import into that project, delete the not wanted parts..
another option is, quit iMovie, delete ~/Library/Preferences any com.apple.iMovie.plist file.. relaunch iM.. that 'resets' iM... sometimes, it starts to stumble..

  • What is the difference between QuickTime and iMovie?

    Why would I need to upgrade my QuickTime to QuickTime Pro if I have iMovie? If I did have these two programs wouldn't that be redundant? They both edit the same kind of information, right? If you use both programs, please provide pros and cons. Thank you.
    iMac G5   Mac OS X (10.4.4)  

    It would take a book to describe the differences between iMovie and QuickTime Pro, so I won't go down that road. Here's Apple's QT Pro Tutorial, which will help introduce its features:
    http://www.apple.com/quicktime/pro/tutorials.html
    I use QuickTime Pro every day to help with one task or another. It's a very useful tool, which gets you closer to the basic functions of QuickTime than does iMovie. It also helps you learn more about QuickTime software, the heart of iMovie. Like most other things, the more you understand the fundamentals the more you understand the program using them.
    There's one important difference: Unlike iMovie, whatever task you want to perform with QuickTime Pro can also be done with an AppleScript script. So if you have repetitive tasks with movies, QuickTime Pro is a must. Just write a script that you call from within QuickTime Pro to perform just about any task, or collection of tasks. The script literally "tells" QuickTime Pro to perform the task.
    I strongly recommend QT Pro for anyone who uses iMovie HD a lot, or who is interesting in understanding the underlying structure of QuickTime movies.

  • Time difference between iPhone and iMac

    I have both iPhone and iMac set to the same time zone and time. However, whatever iCal entries I make, there is a 9 hour difference between the two (iPhone being 9 hours behinf iMac).. Obviously, I am missing some setup somewhere but I truly cannot figure it out.

    Hi,
    First of all, please read the [url https://wikis.oracle.com/display/Forums/Forums+FAQ]FAQ page and find out how to use the code tags to format your output properly so that it's readable.
    I don't want to work out the stats formatting but I'd guess that if you ran the query first time and the data was not cached, it would be slower than the 2nd query when it was cached. The stats should confirm this so please format them so we can see it properly.

  • Time difference between physical and logical standby

    Hi,
    I have just been tasked on getting some info and setting up dataguard for some users for read-only/reporting purpose.
    The 3 questions I am being asked are:
    1. What is the time difference in applying changes from primary to physical standby compare to logical standby
    2. What is the overhead maintenance of having a standby database?
    3.What latency is involved?
    I will be glad to have your input on this.
    Thanks

    Hi,
    Physical Standy where its a read only DB.
    Logs are applied.
    Logical Standy where it can be Read / Write DB and the logs are applied in terms of SQL Statements.
    Thanks & Regards,

  • Configuration Fails - Time Difference Between SA and SSO

    I know this is going to be a light-bulb moment for me but I haven't been able to figure it out yet.  I'm configuring SA and at the vCenter SSO credentials page.  I put in the credentials and get the following error:
    Installation aborted - could not authenticate to vCenter Single Sign On due to time difference.  Please synchronize the clocks of Support Assistant Virtual Appliance and vCenter Single Sign-On server and retry the operation.
    I changed the timezone for the SA appliance to match that of our vCenter server and I'm still getting that error.  I noticed that the time is off by 7 hours on the appliance so I tried to trick it by setting the timezone to somewhere in Europe (which then showed the same time as vCenter), but it still failed.  Any assistance would be greatly appreciated.

    Here is what I have found to critical touch point when it comes to time and VAs
    -:  If you have AD.... ensure that the PDC\DC is pointing to a NTP source
    w32tm /config /manualpeerlist:<fqdn or IP ntp server> /reliable:yes /update
    -: ALL your ESXi server MUST have a NTP...make sure its the same at the AD PDC\DC.  The ESXi server may take 10mins to 15mins

  • Response time difference between copy and original

    I have make an export of my database like that :
    EXP system/manager@mybase owner=myowner file=exp_mybase_myowner.dmp
    and an import in new session (on same server):
    IMP system/manager@mybase2 full=y file=exp_mybase_myowner.dmp
    To increase performance of my two databases, i have drop all indexs and recreate them.
    But, response time is significantly different between databases.
    How can i solve this problem ?

    1. Analyze all the tables that are used in your query by using command:
    Analyze table <table_name> compute statistics;
    You can alsp use package DBMS_STATS.GATHER_DATABASE_STATS to calculate the statistics for all object in DB.
    2. Have you checked the DB_BLOCK_SIZE for both the DB? Is it same? Command "SHOW PARAMETER DB_BLOCK
    4. Is the SGA size same for both the DB? Command "SHOW SGA"
    3. Was there sufficient RAM to create the SGA? I hope you are not using SWAP space for the SGA

  • One hour time difference between Palm and Exchange calendar items

    Calendar items on Exchange and Palm are off by one hour.
    Exchange server, desktop PC and Palm are all set to PST with the same time. Versamail account on Palm has been deleted and rebuilt.
    See screen shots at http://picasaweb.google.com/lh/photo/kPKBDS28rhdVsextLM1PPQ?feat=directlink
    What is interesting is the appointments entered in Outlook show up on the Palm one hour early however they show the correct time in (parenthises) so the Palm seems to be somewhat aware of the problem.
    This same issue occurs on different Palm T/X 's with different Outlook accounts.

  • Page load time differences between IE and Firefox

    Hello all,
    I have a problem with page loading time in IE 8. My page contains tabular form, classic report and some other items. I use some javascript code(placed in HTLM Header section) and also dynamic actions. When I try to display the page in IE I have to wait for 40 seconds (100 rows in tabular form). I realized that the performance is dependent on the number of displayed rows in the tabular form. But decrease the number of visible rows, using pagination, is not an option, because all needed rows should be visible for the users. During the tests I have tried to remove all the JS code and disable all the dynamic action, but the loading time was more or less the same.
    When I try to run the same page in FireFox then it is displayed in 4 seconds!
    I have already try to search some tips or advices how to speed up the page loading, but only what I have found out is, that every web browser is different. The javascript is handled differently, page rendering is done differently and so on.
    Maybe there is something what I have missed, and you experts can help me. Is there anything general what I should check or change to speed up the loading time in IE?
    Thanks in advance!

    Thanks Denes for your reply.
    I use HttpWatch tool to measure the loading times. Reports are mostly the same for IE and FF. I can see from the report, there is three times shown error 404 Not Found for the items below.

    http://......./images/sRegion-Bottom.png

    The last action which caused 404 error started 2 seconds after the page was asked to refresh. The next action http://......../i/libraries/jquery-ui/1.8.22/ui/i18n/oracle/jquery.ui.datepicker-cs.js started after 38 seconds (hanging in the same place for 36 seconds). Does it mean that the problem is caused by http://......./images/sReportBG-Standard.png action which returns 404 error?
    How can I add the missing images?

  • Time difference between the Identity system and Access System: OAM

    I was installing OAM. Performed the below steps.
    -installed identity server
    -installed webpass
    -setup of identity system console
    -installed policy manager
    -setup of access system console
    The above steps were successfull. Then when i was logging into Access system console, i am getting the below error:
    Error:there was a problem obtaining the userid. One possible reason for this is a time difference between the Identity system and Access systems (Policy Manager and Access system console).+
    The Identity Server, WebPass and Policy Manager are installed on the same machine.
    Userdata repository: OVD 10.1.4.3
    Policy and Config Data Repository: OID 11.1.1.3
    OAM: 10.1.4.3

    Found document in metalink similar to this issue. suggested to change ldapmaxofreties. but didn't help.
    Any idea on this error. Please Advise.
    Thanks in advance.

    Try this::
    Check Time Difference Between Identity and Access Manager Systems
    Check the logfile in the Access Manager install directory. The default location is <$AMinstall_dir>/access/oblix/logs/oblogfile.
    If the file exists and it contains following line "skew = slack = " that means the Identity and Access Manager Web Servers are on different machines and have not synchronized time within a minute.
    Either synchronize times between the two machines within a minute's accuracy or you can increase the slack by modifying these two files: <$AMinstall_dir>/access/oblix/apps/common/bin/oblixbaseparams.lst: loginslack: <$IMinstall_dir>/identity/oblix/apps/common/bin/oblixbaseparams.xml: loginslack: where numofseconds is more than skew found in the oblogfile.
    For example, if you have following line in oblogfile "skew = 121 slack = 60", set numofseconds in the two parameter files to 130. After doing this, Stop the Identity Manager Web Server. Then stop the Identity Server. Start the Identity Server.
    Then start the Identity Manager Web Server. Start a new browser session and see if you get the same error.

  • Time difference between Mac & Windows

    I have just successfully installed Windows XP SP2 using boot camp. But the clock in Mac and Windows are always different, for example, if i am running Mac and time is 4.00 p.m; then I restart in Windows, the time in Windows now is 8.00p.m. If then I changed time in Windows and restart again in Mac, the clock in Mac is 12.00p.m (4 hours late). I have tried several times but it stays the same. Is there anyone having the same problem as mine?
    ah, 1 more small thing, when using Windows, which button in Mac keyboard is for printscreen? In the manual for Bootcamp, it is said that using fn+f11 but it doesn't work???

    autumn_fail:
    For Print Screen try using Fn-Shift-F11 combination. Also read *[_This Article_|http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1220]*.
    As far as your question on the Time difference between Windows and OSx, this is a known issue with Windows and OSx running on a mac. This has to do with how both Operating Systems set the time. One way to handle this is to run time preferences as soon as you log into OSx (after logging out of Windows). Its a pain nonetheless.

  • How to measure time difference between zero crossing of a sine wave and rise time of a pulse on a same graph?

    I have a 50Hz sine wave and a pulse signal on a same graph. The phase difference between two is between 0-90 degrees.
    Now I need to calculate the time difference between (when the sine wave crosses zero volts) and (when the pulse rises). The frequency will stay approximately same for both signals.
    The application is for a three phase generator. In simple words, when the time difference between the zero-crossing of sine wave and the pulse rises increases, that means that the load on the generator has increases.
    I am a beginner user of LabView (version 9, 2009), maybe it is a very simple problem but I've been pulling my hair out for the last few days and coudln't figure anything out. Any help would be greatly appreciated. I am using DAQ USB-6008 to measure these voltages and pulse from the generator and a sensor
    I have attached a jpg (a graph that i just made with excel to explain). The time 't' is what I am trying to measure

    Solved!
    Go to Solution.

    Hi
    Thanks for the code but I'm afraid it won't work. Like you said the probability of choosing a value that is on both graphs may not happen. This is something that I would like the code to do automatically.
    But I did use the previous code posted and made some modifications to it and it seems to work perfectly. Now the next thing is to be able to get just that one value that tells you the first time difference.
    Here is what I get using that code.
    As you can see from the t Values. I only need the one that is highlighted. If there is a way to filter out the rest it would be great.
    I was thinking of a while loop and as soon as the value is higher than 3E-5 it would store the number and stop the loop, but I'm not too familiar with arrays in labview.
    Here is the the code modified.
    As you can see, it wasn't that big of a modification and it still is your code.
    I will keep trying.
    Thanks for the help

  • Color differences between Camera RAW 6.2 and Photoshop CS5

    Hi,
    I have got two problems:
    Everytime I open a raw file in Camera Raw, the picture is a bit darker than in Photoshop. The difference is very annoying...
    and, apart from that,
       2. The pictures in Adobe Bridge look much more saturated and darker than in Camera RAW or Photoshop. The result of my research was, that I have to go to "Edit -> Bridge Color Pre-Settings" and choose the right color-management. But when I klick on the button, it says that the function is something like deactivated. Someone said, I have to buy the entire Creative Suite to activate this function? Is that true?
    The color profile I work with: sRGB
    I already updated Bridge, Camera RAW and Photoshop. But the problem still exists...
    Does anyone know the problems and may help me?
    Thanks a lot!
    -Aldo

    Thanks for your replies.
    A few minutes ago I calibrated my display again. Now, the difference between ACR and Photoshop seems to be even greater.
    When the calibration was finished, the software offered a before/after-button (Before and after calibration). The "Before-image" was much more dark than the "after-image". Just as dark as the photo is in ACR(!).
    Maybe there's a connection. I think Photoshop uses the right profile (the profile generated by the Spyder2Express), but ACR uses some different wrong profile.
    function(){return A.apply(null,[this].concat($A(arguments)))}

  • What's differences between camera roll and photostream?

    what's differences between camera roll and photostream files?

    Camera Roll is all photos & videos taken directly with the device, including screenshots, and also any images saved from a text message, email or website.
    Photostream is a service that, after you've taken such a photo, after you close out the Camera app (or switch to a different app or your home screen), uploads a copy of that photo via wi-fi to your iCloud Photostream account. 
    Camera Roll photos are saved until you delete them.
    Photostream photos will remain in Photostream for 30 days minimum.  After that, they will be automatically purged from the system.  If there are photos in your Photostream that you would like to save permanently, copy them to your iPhone's Camera Roll, or download them to your computer using the iCloud Control Panel.
