24p question dealing with capturing

friend shoots movie in 24P.
I get to edit movie.
as far as I know, 24P should be captured at 29.97 and FCP makes the adjustments.
so.
when I capture, I get some firece tracers/zebra stripes on the video. I've tried it 3 different ways and everytime, I output a DVD (uncompressed quicktime) and it looks like rubbish.
help me FCP people! Make me a believer (I'm an AVID guy)

Welcome to the discussions, Baldy! I was an Avid guy for 10 years before I started using FCP 3 years ago. I haven't looked back.
Do you have the "zebra stripse" on your TV/video monitor? Were you watching the DVD on TV or on the computer?
24P already has the pulldown inserted. Just like film shot at 24 and telecined to tape. You may be seeing the pulldown frames. Which is normal. There is also no need to export uncompressed to burn a DVD. Edit in the native format DV. Export Quicktime Movie... with current settings. You gain nothing by "up-rezing" to uncompressed before burning to DVD.

  • Constructor question - dealing with protected methods

    Hi all, I'm trying to run a protected method, got somewhere by making the class a subclass - but not too sure about where to put the constructor for a class I'm trying to use (IQRegister). Can anyone help and point me in the right direction as to what I did wrong?

  • How to deal with often ask doc questions in Oracle forums?

    All,
    Lately the number of doc questions in the Database General forum and the SQL and PL/SQL forum seems to increase exponentially.
    Also almost all posters never look up error messages in the on-line documentation, nor do they anything to resolve their own problem.
    Need I to mention ORA-12154? Probably not.
    While the Forums Etiquette post is clear you should be looking up, no one is actually doing that.
    Also apparently no one reads the Forum Etiquette post.
    The result of this is the Search Forum button has become fully useless and almost always turns up 1000s of non-relevant posts.
    Which results in .... people asking that question again
    I am quite aware the situation on http://asktom.oracle.com and many other sites is hardly better.
    I am also aware Jives might be incapable of addressing this properly.
    But can't something be done?
    Eg: Jives automatically consults the on-line documentation or automatically consults Google or even Wikipedia?
    I try to avoid answering doc questions as much as possible, but that doesn't work.
    If I could, I would kick the poster, as this kind of laziness really annoys me.
    When I started my career the Internet didn't exist. The only things available were manuals and the phone to call support, and it wasn't outsourced to Asia.

    You can only transfer purchases from iTunes on the iPad into iTunes on your computer. If you bought the music from another source, you need to use the source app to transfer the music, or you need a third party app to transfer the music.

  • Dealing with non-square pixels from video capture (CS3)

    Hi all,
    This is the problem I have : I watch a video on my PC using any utility such as, for example, CyberLink's PowerDVD. I pause the movie to capture a frame to the Clipboard, then I paste it into PS CS3 via a newly created document.
    Because the movie was shot and recorded on the DVD in widescreen format, therefore using non-square pixels (wider than they are tall), the still image in PS appears "shrunk" horizontally. I then go to Image|Pixel Aspect Ratio and set the ratio to, say, "D1/DV PAL Widescreen (1.42)", as I am in PAL-land. The still image now looks fine, and I can save it, for example in TIFF format ; it will retain its "non-square pixel" attribute, with the black bands on top and at the bottom.
    However, what I utimately want to do is use that still image on the Web, so I need to save it as a JPEG image, and this is where the problem happens : the JPEG conversion reverts those pixels to square ones, whether I use the "Save for Web and Devices..." option, or just the "Save As..." one.
    How can I turn my very heavy TIFF into a much leaner JPEG, while retaining the non-square pixels that give the image its correct proportions ? Is there a way around this problem ?
    I'm not used to dealing with non-square pixel images, so any help and tip will be greatly appreciated. Many thaks in advance.
    Dominic.

    As Zeno said, you can simply copy&paste. Also, there is always an equivalent square pixel format for each anamorphic format that can fully accommodate the image, which would be 1024x576 for PAL widescreen. For more info on PAR conversions, I recomemnd you do some reading in the online help files for After Effects or Premiere Pro.

  • Buying new mac to deal with fcp issue

    I have a power book g4 and was running FCP HD and decided to upgrade my camera to HD. However my mAc would not capture the footage from the camera. Having been into the Mac store I was informed of two choices. Either purchase the new
    version of FC Studio or buy FC express. However I was adivsed that my machine was not powerful enough to run the new FC Studio.
    So I bought FC Express. But capturing my footage form the camera was a horribly slow process. I am used the capture happening in close to real time. Now it can take 2 mins to capture a 30 seconds clip. Is this becuase the footage is HD or is it because Im running FC Express?
    If I buy a new machine with new version of FC Studio will I solve this problem?
    Also will my old FCP files load into the new version of FC Studio?
    Any reccomendations for which machine to buy for a bugdet around £1000 maybe a bit more?
    Oh and one last thing, how short do you think I need to make my HD movies to fit them onto a DVD given Apple dont support Bluray?

    Your single processor laptop grade G4 is probably slowing you down considerably when dealing with the realities of HD requirements. That and disk speed. FC Express is probably not the bottleneck.
    You haven't said what flavour of HD you're dealing with, but whichever it is, a G4 powerbook is seriously underpowered to handle it.
    As to an upgrade, for right around a thousand pounds - roughly $1950 American - you can pick up a refurbished 2.8 Ghz Quadcore Mac Pro. Dunno if it holds true for the British Apple store.
    GAH! - just checked and with VAT, it's £1,499.00 in the UK Apple store.
    OH - and as to your question about DVD, since standard DVDs only support SD, you'll have to downconvert and the storage requirements are the same.

  • Powershell - dealing with {host1, host2, host3, ....}

    Hello,
    I'm working on a Clustered Windows 2012 R2 server, and I'd like to get the list the Preferred Owner list of some cluster Resources, but we have many nodes and the output is not readable from powershell because when use the standard command but it
    shows something like {server1, server2,.....} and the output on the screen is not complete.
    Then I've tried to get the output in table mode, but I don't know how to get it, I've used the following command using a "join" trick and I'm getting more or less what I want.
    get-clusterresource
    |
    Where{$_.resourcetype 
    -match
    "MyResourceType"}
    |
    get-clusterownernode | select clusterobject,,@{n='PrefOwners';e={$_.ownernodes
    -join","}}
    |ft-a
    I've got something like the following, all the Owners are included on a single column. I may survive with this, but I'll have to perform a second filter (excel) over  this output to split each PrefOwner in single columns.
    Resource Name                  PrefOwners
    "Cluster Resource name"    "PrefOwner1,PrefOwner2,PrefOwner3,prefOwner4,PrefOwner5"
    And I'd like to go an step further, what I want is have something like the following where each preferred owner has their own column.
    Resource Name                  owner1            owner2            
    Owner3           .......
    "Cluster Resource name"    "PrefOwner1"   "PrefOwner2"     "PrefOwner3"   .......
    How can I get this type of output on one single command?
    Best Regards
    Regards.

    And what's wrong with multiple commands?
    Your best bet would be to create a custom object with the columns you're after, but that involves iterating through each owner and you won't get it on a single command.
    However, bearing in mind that you're you're using Windows 2012 R2 which comes with PowerShell 4 and that you're quite keen on concise statements, there are things you can do to shorten your version so far (and make it faster! MOAR SPEED!)
    A quick example: since PowerShell v4 you can now invoke a .Where() method on collections. It runs faster than piping it to a Where-Object, does exactly the same thing, and the syntax is pretty much the same too. Here's an example:
    # New PowerShell v4 way, fastest
    (Get-Service).Where({$_.Name -eq 'spooler'})
    # PowerShell v3 way, faster than PS <v3 ways
    Get-Service | Where-Object Name -eq spooler
    # Notice I don't even need to put quotes around the service name, whereas on all the other methods I do. Talk about being lazy!
    # Old way... Slowest one
    Get-Service | Where-Object {$_.Name -eq 'spooler'}
    For comparison, I ran some tests on all 3 ways by invoking each way 10 times and using Measure-Command to capture the times
    The v4 way took 160ms~ to run.
    The v3 way took 350ms~ to run.
    The <v3 way took 450ms~ to run.
    I ran all tests multiple times with consistent results, so there you go!
    Now... as for your custom object, as I said you can't do it in a single call (unless you want to have all your code cluttered in a line with over 200 characters and expect someone to be able to read it - this is not code art (http://www.dalatdesigns.com/blog/?p=11678).
    Anyway, here's a method. I don't have any clusters, so I settled for reading the displaying each of the properties of a WMI instance as one per column, but you get the idea:
    # I *should* have used the -Filter parameter of Get-WmiObject here but am trying to get something as similar to your code as possible
    $Processes = (Get-WmiObject -Class Win32_Process).Where({$_.Name -eq 'PowerShell.exe'})
    #It is better not to use a pipeline here else you have no way of telling when the subproperties you're dealing with now are from the old object or the new one
    foreach ($Process in $Processes)
    $output = @{}
    $output.Name = $Process.Name
    # Normally it would work like this, but in WMI objects you can't retrieve them based on index, only name so... It should work for your objects though, give it a try!
    #for ($i = 0; $i -lt $Process.Properties.Count; $i++)
    #$output."Property$i" = $Process.Properties[$i].Name
    # As in this case we can't reference the property based on an index, we have to take another route...
    $i = 0
    foreach ($Property in $Process.Properties)
    $output."Property$i" = $Property.Name
    $i++
    $outputArray += New-Object -TypeName PSObject -Property $output
    $outputArray | Format-Table *
    Obviously in my particular case the result will be almost unreadable as a table, since there's no more no less than 42 different properties on that object, but hey, this is what you asked for! You deal with it now :D
    PS: I'm just in a good mood today. No idea why, but I am. Please don't follow my 'You deal with it now' to the letter. If you have problems or questions come back!

  • Premiere Pro 2.0 slows when dealing with larger video files

    I'm having issues with Premiere Pro 2.0 slowing to a crawl and taking 60-90 seconds to come back to life when dealing with larger .avi's (8+ mins). When I try to play a clip on the timeline, drag the slider over said clip, or play from a title into said clip on the timeline, Premiere hangs. The clips on question are all rendered, and the peak file has been generated for each different clip has well. This is a new problem; the last time I was working with a larger clip (45+ mins, captured from a Hi-8 cam), I had no problems. Now, I experience this slow down with all longer clips, although I've only dealt with footage captured from a Hi-8 cam and also a mini-DV cam. This problem has made Premiere nearly unusable. I'm desperate at this point.
    System:
    CPU: P4 HT 2.4ghz
    Ram: 2x 1gb DDR
    Video: ATI Radeon 9000 Series
    Scratch Disk: 250gb WD My Book - USB 2.0 (I suspect this might be part of the problem)
    OS: XP Pro SP2
    I'm not on my machine right now, and I can definitely provide more information if needed.
    Thanks in advance.

    Aside from some other issues, I found that USB was just not suited for editing to/from, and on a much faster machine, that you list.
    FW-400 was only slightly better. It took FW-800, before I could actually use the externals for anything more than storage, i.e. no editing, just archiving.
    eSATA would be even better/faster.
    Please see Harm's ARTICLES on hardware, before you begin investing.
    Good luck,
    Hunt
    [Edit] Oops, I see that Harm DID link to his articles. Missed that. Still, it is worth mentioning again.
    Also, as an aside, PrPro 2.0 has no problem on my workstation when working with several 2 hour DV-AVI's, even when these are edited to/from FW-800 externals.

  • Dealing with null values from a database (easy?)

    I'm sure this should be a simple question :
    I'm creating a dynamic dropdown of my companies products that once a product is selected draws values (links) from a database and displays them (links to User guides, FAQs etc).
    My problem is dealing with blank entries in the database - i.e. if a product doesn't have a User guide I've left the database blank.
    I'd like to show 'none' or 'not available' if the entry is blank rather than the 'null' I currently get.
    I'm sure it should be a straightforward if .... else .... but I'm struggling and would appreciate any help,

  • How to deal with several itunes users in a house

    I will try to be brief but explain what I don't know how to configure.
    We have three children. We have 5 laptops that work wirelessly, and we have music and photos all stored on a shared NAS drive. We moved our iTunes music folder successfully to it when we set up.
    1. We set everyone's folder location, under preferences, to the folder on the NAS drive.--- It won't stay. With any reboot or interruption in signal it switches back to the individual computer's hard drive. This is a pain, because every time you reset it, you have to wait for 30 gigs of music to update. This has been asked before and no one answers it. Is it a bug and is Apple aware?
    2. I understand that we can "share" our libraries. But how do we deal with the issue of individual family members purchasing songs from iTunes? As in, I would like to add songs my teen bought to my ipod, but how do I know if there is new music beside asking them to "log" all their purchased so I can manually look for them. We can't just sync every time. They have nanos, and I don't want to have to weed through Christmas music, audio books, and Kidz Bop each time and delete them. What about someone finding they are not "authorized" to play a song? We can have 5 authorized no? I tried to drag something from a shared library onto an ipod and it wouldn't let me.
    Please help. My last question dropped to page three by the end of the day with no response.

    I guess then I need to read more about my NAS drive, because it is always on. I read in another thread about the same issue the question was asked, "Is your NAS drive mounted?" I have no idea what that means. There was other ideas of making alias of the NAS iTunes folder and putting in on the laptop's dock, but I didn't quite understand that either.
    I thought NAS was a rapper. Well, I have no idea what a NAS drive is. But it should have no influence on iTunes' behavior. If that drive is always on and visible on your Desktop (= "mounted"), iTunes shouldn't change its settings re. its Library.
    It would be easier to draw all this instead of explaining, but, well, we are not that far yet.
    0: If you set up on all Macs that iTunes stores its files on one drive, iTunes should not change this on any of them as long as it is always on, as you said. If it does, thought, something is wrong. Don't ask me, what.
    Ok, just to make this even more complicated, LOL if each person has their own laptop and ipod, and everyone in the household has used their 5 authorizations on each other's computers, then theoretically, when everyone accesses the itunes library they should be able to copy the songs onto their devices?
    1: You can play all your music on this external drive from anywhere in the house.
    2: You can activate the DRM files on every Mac in the house and play them.
    3: You canNOT use one iPod on more than one Mac, regardless if the music is DRM or not. iPod 1 is associated with Mac A, iPod 2 with Mac B etc. If you change that, all music from iPod 1 will be deleted before the music from Mac B will be copied to it. So, it's always 1:A, 2:B etc., not iPod 1 : Mac A & B & C... Otherwise, your iPods would be regular external hard drives from which you could copy tons of music to someone else's PC, which is illegal. That's why all the music on an iPod is made invisible. And even after making it visible with special utilities (I tried that once), you won't be able to recognize which song is which. CDs are not stored together, etc. Apple would not have got the permissions for the iTunes Store / iPods from the music industry if it was the perfect utility for illegal music sharing.
    Did I savvy what you meant?

  • I need to reinstall my computer, how do I deal with Premiere pro and After effects?

    Hello,
    As my question states I need to reinstall my computer (laptop) and I'm not quite sure on how to deal with Premiere pro and After effects.
    I am thinking that I need to do some sort of backup and save my projects and footage on a sepparate drive.
    If I reinstall my computer, install my creative suit production premium, and move back all of my projects and footage, won't I have to re-link every single clip?
    I am currently workning on several different projects and having to re-link everything is something I don't even want to think about, that would take me days if not weeks.
    Another option on my mind would be to use Creative cloud. I do have the free version but I have never used it even once before and I'm not quite sure what the purpose of the cloud is and if this is a way to use it.
    I have no idea how to go about this computer reinstalation without either loosing tons of work or having to re-link every single clip used.
    I am videoediting only as a hobby so I have no experience working with other people and sharing projects or the like, wich is my understanding of what the cloud is for.
    Any and all help would be grealty appreciated, I know this is probably really easy but ever since i got my Suit I haven't reinstalled, upgraded och changed my computer so I am just clueless as to how to go about this.
    I have Creative suit production premium, I also have the free Creative cloud.
    It is only Premiere pro and After effects that I am using and am worried about.
    Thank you for any help.

  • Where am I supposed to get help? 3 months dealing with tech support is NOT working

    I have been dealing with an ongoing connection issue for 3 months now and I'm at my wits end with trying to get help. I'm have the same problems others seem to be having here my internet keeps cutting out for a min or two and coming straight back on sometimes it works fine for a week sometimes I can't get online all day. I have spent countless hours on the phone with Verizon over these past three months being transferred from place to place, being hung up on and told multiple times they would "call me back"
    I've had three techs come to my house (money out of my paycheck taking off work) and each said the issue isn't at my home, I even spoke with a gentleman at the local dispatch center and he told me the same thing, he also told me when I had a 4th tech scheduled to come "sending another tech won't help we already know the issues isn't at your home so all a tech will do is come check the connection and if its working at that moment close the ticket out"
    Each and every time I call I get the exact same process, first they want to send a tech, then I explain that's not going to help, then I spend 15 min trying to get their "supervisor" on the line, each time I'm told "the ticket has been escalated and will be looked into expect a call back in 24-48 hours" each time I either don't get a call or they call and say its fixed just to have issues return a few days later.
    I've even managed to get a number to a supposed "supervisor" area that needs a pin number to get thorough, yet even when I call that number I'm dealing with being told they need to send another tech and being told I will get call backs.
    I've been told them replacing the modem fixed it, then told them fixing something at the end of my street fixed it, been told they switched me to another server or something Because mine was congested and that fixed it, was told they found another issue and that fixed it..None of these actually did fix it though..SO I've been down right LIED to by Verizon many many times already over this ordeal over the multiple false fixes and the numerous call backs I never got.
    No customer should have to spend 20+ hours on the phone (with each call being atleast 1+ hour most of it being on hold) to get a service they are paying for fixed so PLEASE who on earth do I contact to get this actually FIXED???? Because Each time I try to get somebody who is actually a real manager or something on the phone they are NEVER available and each time I ask to speak to somebody who is actually in MY COUNTRY let alone my state I get told its "not possible"
    Where I live don't have too many internet options and I'ma bout to have to move to a SLOWER service all Because Verizon has screwed me over for 3 months and refuses to fix a service I have paid for for YEARS.
    SO please if any verizon employee sees this or anybody else who knows who/what I need to to please I beg you tell me lol I'm tired of being toyed around...

  • MacBook Pro battery had accumulated more than a 1000 charges, and stopped functioning unexpectedly. Went and got the battery replaced. Just saw that SMC Firmware 1.6 update deals with this. Possible to get my money back?

    MacBook Pro battery had accumulated more than a 1000 charges, and stopped functioning unexpectedly. Went and got the battery replaced. Just saw that SMC Firmware 1.6 update deals with this. Possible to get my money back?

    The firmware update corrects an error that may occur, however the techs would have checked the condition of the battery prior to installing a new one.  If the battery was questionable, the firmware update was really not too important.
    You can check the battery condition by going to the apple, left side of the menu bar, About This Mac, More Info, System Report, Hardware, Power and see what it says about Cycle Count, Condition, Capacity: Condition anything but Normal needs to be checked and may need to be replaced.
    The cycle count of 1,000 charge cycles is the typical life of a Lithium-Ion battery, the point at which the capacity drops to 80% of the as built capacity.

    My simple questions is how can I deal with an apostrophy when I trying to save to the table, here is an example in how I am saving.
    'Sandr'as Casa' this gives me an error message. I have to do it like this
    Strings.replace("Sandr'as Casa"," ' "," ' ' "), a package function
    SQLDesFollow = "UPDATE [CRVMReq] " +
    "SET [SkillSet]='" + Strings.replace("Sandr'as Casa"," ' "," ' ' ")+ "'" WHERE [ReqId]='" + ReqValuesReqId[4] + "";
    dbs.execute(SQLDesFollow);
    SQLDesFollow = "UPDATE [CRVMReq] " +
    "SET [SkillSet]='Sandr'as Casa' WHERE [ReqId]='" + ReqValuesReqId[4] + "";
    dbs.execute(SQLDesFollow);
    any help will be appreciated.
