About auto de-interlacing and frame sizing

Hi everyone, first post.
I've been working on a project in FCP and, in looking at the DV files in my capture scratch folder, I've seen that that when I play one of these files in QT Player the video is sized to the correct aspect ratio and the fields are not visible, even when stepping through the movie frame by frame.
When I view the same captured file in Final Cut at 100% size the fields are clearly visible - as I would expect.
So my question is, how does Quicktime Player decide when it will de-interlace and scale a clip? My theory is that it does it when it encounters a DV or other television format. Further, is there a way to force Quicktime player to show me the fields and the actual unscaled pixels?
This has already been asked here: http://discussions.apple.com/thread.jspa?messageID=2077910&#2077910
But did not get answered.
This behavior (if this is indeed true) is helpful I suppose, but confusing when fields suddenly appear when going from Quicktime-formatted material to other formats.
DualCore 2.3 GHz PowerMac G5 Mac OS X (10.4.8)

Just to humble myself:
http://discussions.apple.com/thread.jspa?threadID=618846&tstart=0
Are you viewing this still on an external monitor? Or is your canvas at 100%? If not, then you will see flicker that isn't really there. A de-interlace filter won't help as the still isn't interlaced..it is a still. Video can be interlaced, but not a still import.
View it on an external monitor or with your canvas at 100% and see what it looks like.

A question about Auto Save, Versions and Preview.

I haven't upgraded to Lion (yet?). I'm trying to understand what impact Lion will have on my workflow.
Do I understand right that it is not possible to turn off Lion's Auto Save?
And that the autosavings are stored in a hidden sqlLite data base?
I use Preview for... err... previewing files (PDFs and image files). Nothing I open (preview) in Preview I save.
Is Lion's Auto Save going to save every file I take a look at in Preview?

The idea of Versions looks good to me, it certainly is not a 'con to upgrade'. The amount of disk space it uses and where (on which disk) is a bit of a concern to me. But by the time the applications I work with implement this feature that probably will be sorted out.
there's more to upgrading though.
Not so much on topic:
I do want to upgrade. Eventually. Although I do worry about the direction Apple are heading in, I don't want to get stuck in the past.
I'm disappointed AirDrop is not for my computers. And the treatment Spaces and Exposé got really withholds me of upgrading any time soon. Maybe a third party developer dives into this matter. Working with an external display connected to notebooks has changed in Lion and is not particularly handy for everyone. (While using the external display only, opening the lid of the notebook in Lion turns on the display of the notebook. This was not the case before Lion.)

Exporting Issue: One large frame sized project, needs to be split and exported in 3 separate files

Hello Awesome people, help me out here Please!
I have a 4480(W) 1260 (H) frame sized project which needs to be exported in 3 separate files, due to the large screen size at the venue.
how to split one project into 3 so that I can get 2 x 1920 (W) and 1 x 640 (W), and height for all three would be 1260 (H)??

Dear Evans,
You might need to check the print preferences settings on the system. This is available from Administration -> System Initialization -> Print Preferences.
Check this out for the documents that get printed as images and get stored in the Bitmaps folder. Check under the 'general' tab whether the check box for printing documents as images is ticked. If yes, untick this. Then check the settings under the 'Per Document' tab - you will need to change the settings per each document.
I hope this helps.

HT201528 IDVD version of videos pause momentarily about every ten seconds and diagonal lines are ziggy. Image looks good all the way through the process and even on idvd

I am trying to make a dvd from a video I shot with a Sony HD avchd camera on a new mac mini running mac os x version 10.7.4
I'm using an up to date Imovie but copied IDVD version 7.1.2 and the support libraryt from an up to date macbook. The video is about 40 minutes long. It looks beautiful all the way from teh camera to playing it on idvd, but when I play the dvd on a player or in a computer it stops momentariily about every ten seconds and the picture is ziggy on diagonal lines.
Also, if I try to save the movie as a .mov file there is no audio.
Can't I move idvd to my new computer?

Hi
Why is the picture better all the way to iDVD - then degrades on the DVD
• DVD is as standard - interlaced SD-Video
If You need better then only way is via Blu Ray
• iMovie'08 to 11 - can not deliver this any way known to me to iDVD - first step in the degradation process
Use iMovie HD6 or FinalCut to do this delivery to 100% of what's possibly
Jaggy diagonal lines - mostly due to the use of iMovie'08 to 11 as they only deliver every second line in an already limited quality as interlaced SD-Video - taking away 50% doesn't improve a bit
Jumpy movie -. most often due to feeding iDVD wrong frame rate and forceing it to convert - IT DOES this BADLY. I use JES_Deinterlacer (free on internet) to do this and it does this even better than pay applications.
iDVD can only deliver 25fps (PAL) or 29.97fps (30fps) (NTSC) - so feeding it
• 24 i or p
• 50p or
• 60p
Will not improve at all.
If iMovie'08 to 11 are only option - Then
• DO NOT - Share to iDVD - as this too degrade the final product
• I do - Share to Media Browser - and as - LARGE - Not HD or other resolution as this too degrades quality
More can be said on this - My long note follows - if of interest.
DVD quality
1. iDVD 08, 09 & 11 has three levels of qualities. (version 7.0.1, 7,0.4 & 7.1.1) and iDVD 6 has the two last ones
• Professional Quality
(movies + menus up to 120 min.) - BEST (but not always for short movies e.g. up to 45 minutes in total)
• Best Performances
(movies + menus less than 60 min.) - High quality on final DVD (Can be best for short movies)
• High Quality (in iDVD08 or 09) / Best Quality (in iDVD6)
(movies + menus up to 120 min.) - slightly lower quality than above
Menu can take 15 minutes or even more - I use a very simple one with no audio or animation like ”Brushed Metal” in old Themes.
About double on DL DVDs.
2. Video from
• FCE/P - Export out as full quality QuickTime.mov (not self-containing, no conversion)
• iMovie x-6 - Don't use ”Share/Export to iDVD” = destructive even to movie project and especially so
when the movie includes photos and the Ken Burns effect NOT is used. Instead just drop or import the iMovie movie project icon (with a Star on it) into iDVD theme window.
• iMovie’08 or 09 or 11 are not meant to go to iDVD. Go via Media Browser or rather use iMovie HD 6 from start.
3. I use Roxio Toast™ to make an as slow burn as possibly e.g. x4 or x1 (in iDVD’08 or 09 this can also be set)
This can also be done with Apple’s Disk Utilities application when burning from a DiskImage.
4. There has to be about or more than 25Gb free space on internal (start-up) hard disk. iDVD can't
use an external one as scratch disk (if it is not start-up disc). For SD-Video - if HD-material is used I guess that 4 to 5 times more would do.
5. I use Verbatim ( also recommended by many - Taiyo Yuden DVDs - I can’t get hold of it to test )
6. I use DVD-R (no +R or +/-RW) - DVD-R play’s on more and older DVD-Players
7. Keep NTSC to NTSC - or - PAL to PAL when going from iMovie to iDVD
(I use JES_Deinterlacer to keep frame per sec. same from editing to the Video-DVD result.)
8. Don’t burn more than three DVDs at a time - but let the laser cool off for a while before next batch.
iDVD quality also depends on.
• DVD is a standard in it self. It is Standard Definition Quality = Same as on old CRT-TV sets and can not
deliver anything better that this.
HD-DVD was a short-lived standard and it was only a few Toshiba DVD-players that could playback.
These DVDs could be made in DVD-Studio Pro. But they don’t playback on any other standard DVD-Player.
Blu-Ray / BD can be coded onto DVDs but limited in time to - about 20-30 minutes and then need
_ Roxio Toast™ 10 Pro incl. BD-component
_ BD disks and burner if full length movies are to be stored
_ BD-Player or PlayStation3 - to be able to playback
The BD-encoded DVDs can be play-backed IF Mac also have Roxio DVD-player tool. Not on any standard Mac or DVD-player
Full BD-disks needs a BD-player (in Mac) as they need blue-laser to be read. No red-laser can do this.
• HOW much free space is there on Your internal (start-up) hard disk. Go for approx. 25Gb.
less than 5Gb and Your result will most probably not play.
• How it was recorded - Tripod vs Handheld Camera. A stable picture will give a much higher quality
• Audio is most often more critical than picture. Bad audio and with dropouts usually results in a non-viewed movie.
• Use of Video-editor. iMovie’08 or 09 or 11 are not the tools for DVD-production. They discard every second line resulting in a close to VHS-tape quality.
iMovie 1 to HD6 and FinalCut any version delivers same quality as Camera record in = 100% to iDVD
• What kind of movie project You drop into it. MPEG4 seems to be a bad choice.
other strange formats are .avi, .wmv, .flash etc. Convert to streamingDV first
Also audio formats matters. I use only .aiff or from miniDV tape Camera 16-bit
strange formats often problematic are .avi, .wmv, audio from iTunes, .mp3 etc
Convert to .aiff first and use this in movie project
• What kind of standard - NTSC movie and NTSC DVD or PAL to PAL - no mix.
(If You need to change to do a NTSC DVD from PAL material let JES_Deinterlacer_3.2.2 do the conversion)
(Dropping a PAL movie into a NTSC iDVD project
(US) NTSC DVDs most often are playable in EU
(EU) PAL DVDs most often needs to be converted to play in US
UNLESS. They are play-backed by a Mac - then You need not to care
• What kind of DVDs You are using. I use Verbatim DVD-R (this brand AND no +R or +/-RW)
• How You encode and burn it. Two settings prior iDVD’08 or 09
Pro Quality (only in iDVD 08 & 09)
Best / High Quality (not always - most often not)
Best / High Performances (most often my choice before Pro Quality)
1. go to iDVD pref. menu and select tab far right and set burn speed to x1 (less errors = plays better) - only in iDVD 08 & 09
(x4 by some and may be even better)
2. Project info. Select Professional Encoding - only in iDVD 08 & 09.
Region codes.
iDVD - only burn Region = 0 - meaning - DVDs are playable everywhere
DVD Studio pro can set Region codes.
1 = US
2 = EU

What it turned out to be was the "quality" settings in iDVD. The total clip time was NOT over 2 hours or 4.7GB, yet iDVD created massive visual artifacts on the "professional quality" setting.
I switched the settings to "high quality" which solved the problem. According iDVD help, "high quality" determines the best bit rate for the clips you have.
I have NEVER seen iDVD do this before, especially when I was under the 2 hour and 4.7GB limits.
For anyone else, there seem to be 2 places in iDVD to set quality settings, the first is under "preferences" and the second under "project info." They do NOT seem to be linked (i.e. if you change one, the other is NOT changed). take care, Mario
TO GET IT TO WORK SLIGHTLY FASTER
• Minimum of 25Gb free space on Start-Up hard disk
• No other programs running in BackGround e.g. Energy-Saver
• Don’t let HD spin down or be turned off (in Energy-Save)
• Move hard disks that are not to be used to Trash - To be disconnected/turned off
• Goto Spotlight and set the rest of them under Integrity (not to be scanned)
• Set screen-saver to a folder without any photo - then make an active corner (up right for me) and set
pointer to this - turns on screen saver - to show that it has nothing to show

Frame blended interlaced pulldown frames...

Having an issue with telecine transfered footage (29.97 fps, NTSC) going through color. When it renders out I get a strange frame blended ghost image to any areas of motion. I have tried de-interlacing and not de-interlacing my renders to no avail. No color effects are being used.
The interlaced pull-down frames are the only frames with the shadow image.
Thanks in advance.

Did you reframe any shots in FCP? If so that info gets translated into Color's Geometry Room and cause problems. The following is a workaround.
Prep sequence and send to Color (or export/import EDL) as before.
Leave P&S settings untouched and do your grade
Save an archive of your project within Color
Remove geometries, save, close, reopen, render grades.
Then reload your archive within Color and send your sequence back to FCP (or export and import XML).
When you reload the archive Color will give you a warning about not being able to reconnect the renders (or something like that) but just ignore it.

Using illustrator for iOS graphics and frame animations (beginner question)

Hey there,
Just want to get some opinions and advice.
We are developing a sidescolling 2D game and I am creating 2D graphics in illustrator, ...so far so good, at this point in time I have a few characters designed.
Now for the character poses, positions and frame by frame animations.... hmmmm.
I have been searching for examples of ways to create character movements and positions in illustrator but as of yet have not found any good examples or explainations.
Would anyone care to share (or point me to some examples) of workflows you use to create different poses and character postions using illustrator...
(eg. should I be importing my artwork into flash to use the bone tool? Or should I create each variation in illustrator by copying my character and manipulating)

Though the people I have talked to are using solely illustrator to do just that!?
Maybe the people you've talked to just haven't taken opportunity to familiarize themselves with Bones. The artwork for cartooney walking animations can be done fairly easily in a drawing program, using Blends, Transform Again etc. So in many cases it's just not a big deal either way.
What is the advantage of using just illustrator to create animations, I'm guessing that its because the drawing tools available are superior to flash?
To me, it's not so much about "superior" drawing tools in a drawing program; it's more about a more complete set of drawing tools and commands. Flash has a Bezier drawing tool that works fine, so you can draw paths with control. But creating Blends on paths is just more convenient to do right on the page, without involving a timeline, keyframes, etc. Brushes and Transform Effect make it easy to repeat a series of objects. Flash's continual on-the-fly autotracing and auto merging of overlapping unselected and ungrouped objects can be cumbersome while drawing.
See this example. Then click the Construction Notes link below it to view a 2-page PDF that shows how the majority of the artworks was accomplished with just two very simple ArtBrushes used in combination with pathBlends. That kind of stuff is often just easier/quicker to do in a drawing program, release to layers, and then copy/paste or otherwise import to Flash.
Using Blends in AI for things like this experiment can save alot of tedium and time, as compared to working only with Flash's drawing tools. (Notes here.)
Some things just can't be done with only Flash's drawing tools. Envelope distortions, for example, can be blended to create frame-by-frame shape tweens that would be difficult to do with just Flash's native tools, as in this experiment. (The animation is embedded on Page 11 of the PDF; you may have to click "Trust this host one time only" in Reader and then click the middle of the page to get it to play, depending on your OS version.)
But as a general rule whenever using a drawing program in conjunction with Flash, avoid using more than ordinary flat fills and stokes in the drawing program before importing the paths to Flash. If you want to involve grads, shadows, transparency, etc., you'll generally be better off adding those things in Flash. Such effects are not the same constructs in different programs, and will most likley become rasterized in Flash (as is the case in the last example, above).
So again, it depends on specifically what you are trying to do.

Best way to work with interlaced and progressive clips in the same timeline

I´m shooting with Sony MC-50E camera in 1920x1080, 50i. When importing with Log & Transfer I can work with ProRes 422 files in interlaced mode. I have to mix the footage with video screencapture which is progressive (ProRes 422). The final videos are for web only so it should end up as progressive H264 videos. I´m getting good result if exporting to H264, 1024x576 with deinterlacing enabled, but exporting to full HD gives typical interlaced lines in the picture. How can I avoid this and what is the best solution for working with both interlaced and progressive clips?

Deinterlace in Compressor using Frame Controls, Best settings. You can reconnect the deinterlaced files to your project, if you've already edited, but you may need to copy and paste the clips in your sequence to a new 25p timeline, then Remove Attributes, Basic Motion.
When you're ready to export your sequence, use Quicktime Movie, Current Settings, Self-contained. Take that file to Compressor to transcode back to h.264.
The Apple T.V. preset is very good.

I'm getting kernel panics each day as I shut down, the message of restarting by holding down the power button appears on the screen - it began about a month ago and. Do you have any ideas of how to solve the problem?

I'm getting kernel panics each day as I shut down, the message of restarting by holding down the power button appears on the screen - it began about a month ago and. Do you have any ideas of how to solve the problem? I've copied the logs that I found for each kernel panic that still have the message logged. Please help if you can, I have read some of the other comments and perhaps it has something to do with my anti-virus software being on at start up. I have copied the log here. Any advice will be welcome.

Two experiments you can try.
1. Boot in safe mode and see if you can shut down normally. All thise additions won't be running in safe mode so this test would indicate it is one of them causing the problem.
2. Uninstall all the intego VirusBarrier stuff. That's my first guess and the troublemaker.

Which media server protocols enable frame accurate seeking and frame stepping in players?

Hi,
... and thank you in advance for taking the time to respond. I am evaluating different protocls for different client platforms, and I'd like to know the following...
Which media server protocols enable frame accurate seeking and frame stepping in players? (It appears that RTMP does. However, what about HDS? What about HLS?)
Why is it that some do and some don't? (Intuitively, this would seem to be more an issue of the player than the protocol, but then maybe it has something to do with the buffers and the specific information passed to the client.)
For those protocols that do support frame accurate seeking and frame stepping in players, does the addition of Access DRM protection have any effect? (Intuitively, I would say no, but then maybe there are configuration changes needed in AMS to make it work.)
Thanks!

I searched for a DVD player with a jog shuttle -- and you're right. They're all but impossible to find! I havent' found one made in the past 5 years!
I don't know of any way you could accomplish the same thing with software either.
Most DVD players have slow-motion and frame-by-frame features. (Even my cheap $40 Toshiba.) That may be the closest to it.

About auto power off function

Hello again guys,
long time no see ,since yesterday as far as I remember
Talking about Auto Power Off function , is there anyone that can tell us , it could be used on long terms - many days for example - as long as no one push the shutter or any button to wake the "beast" ?
This function completly shut down the camera or it's a kind of sleep function and some parts remain power supplied ?
Thanks,
Solved!
Go to Solution.

It's not completly shutdown. However, it should not cost too much power if any at all. I have it on for a week. Unless you turn on the GPS. With GPS turned on, even if you turn off the camera, it is still active.

Problems with interlaced and progressive on the same timeline ?

Is there any problem with having both interlaced and progressive on the same timetine ? EG will DVD work OK?
thanks
Narada

Hey Narada,
I've had projects where I used both and DVD worked just fine. The only thing I'm not sure about now, though, is what I had my field dominance set to. I'm pretty sure it was set to the default so either lower or higher. This leads me to ask the old pros around here a second question:
What happens to progressive video that's placed in a timeline with a field dominance? Is it no longer treated as progressive?
Anyway, to answer your question my DVDs worked just fine.
Hope that helps,
Cameron

2) Create packing Instructions from TA: POP1
3) packing Determination in POF1 ... for MM Condition type is RCPT and for SD its is SHIP. So create condition records here.
4) In Customization SPRO-> Logistic Execution-> Shipping-> Deliveries->Define Delivery Types
In Delivery, there is Check box for automatic packing.
First , i tried to create condition value in POF1 for SHIP as condition type and put my Packing instruction e.g. 233 into it.
but it wont work in my delivery e.g. LF.
secondly I tried to create in POF1 for ZVPA, with my Packing Instruction 233, and then it works in my delivery.
So my question is, the condition type for HU/ Auto Packing, how are they connected to my documents/ processes e.g. I use OR as sales order, and LF as delivery.
in the Picture below, i can see both condition type SHIP and ZVPA are using SHIP as acc.sequence. So which condition would be used when I create my delivery ? and how to configure that?
Thanks!

Hi,
this defined in custo:
Click on maintain packing transaction profile and the select for instance 0002 Outbound delivery
Here is defined what procedure determination will be used in entry field Determ. proc. for pkg intrs
Then you define for this procedure what conditions will be available
Select the procedure determination you defined in previous step and you maintain the conditions

Cluster setup and APS sizing

Hi,
I have 2 windows servers here with BI 4.0 SP2 installed on each of them and I have clustered the two CMS. Now, in CMC, I see 18 servers each for each node - so total of 36 servers that are running and enabled. ( I am talking about APS, AJS, CMS, IFRS, OFRS, dashboard servers etc.....). My questions are:
1) Should I leave them all enabled and running at all times ? my understanding is that I should, because that is how the load balancing and failover will happen. But at a couple of forums, I have read that some people leave the servers of one node off.
2)I read in some forum that by clustering the two bobjs on two servers, basically only the CMS is being load balanced. Is that true ?? Does this mean that other servers like APS, AJS, Dashobard server, crystal server and the corresponding services within them are not really being load balanced even though both are running at the same time ?
3) My installation is default and we havent gone live yet. I havent really created or modified any of the servers like APS etc. but I am reading that in your production system, you should create multiple APS servers and distribute similiar services among them ? is this true ? Note # 1580280 and the sizing companion for BO 4.0 talks about it too.Should i really worry about this even if I am only going to have 100 users in production ?
Thanks,
Jason

1) Should I leave them all enabled and running at all times ? my understanding is that I should, because that is how the load balancing and failover will happen. But at a couple of forums, I have read that some people leave the servers of one node off.
You should stop and disable all default APS and AJS servers and then create Specific APS/AJS servers only with services that you need.
There are several KB's on APS issues in BI4 and most are resolved with splitting them up.
Non APS servers you should stop those that are not part of your reporting requirements.
2)I read in some forum that by clustering the two bobjs on two servers, basically only the CMS is being load balanced. Is that true ?? Does this mean that other servers like APS, AJS, Dashobard server, crystal server and the corresponding services within them are not really being load balanced even though both are running at the same time ?
That is not true. When 2 BI4 nodes are clustered , over time the load of each service is balanced.
3) My installation is default and we havent gone live yet. I havent really created or modified any of the servers like APS etc. but I am reading that in your production system, you should create multiple APS servers and distribute similiar services among them ? is this true ? Note # 1580280 and the sizing companion for BO 4.0 talks about it too.Should i really worry about this even if I am only going to have 100 users in production ?
Yes, the default APS are not good at all and should never be used in the production, even if you only have 5 users

Auto create threaded text frames

Pardon me if this solution has already been covered.
I am seeking a solution for auto creating several text frames on a single page. I have an excel/text file which contains the item numbers and prices, there are approximately 50-100 items per page. I would like to use data merge or some resource to import the file while placing each field in its own text frame for repositioning according to images. I played around with the data merge but it created 150 pages each with one text frame.
Thanks for any ideas.

If it can be done with InDesign, then almost without exception, it can be scripted. The exceptions are few and far between: off the top of my head, a script can't control the preference to allow attached scripts -- the preference would be pointless if it could.
There are also things that can be done in a script that can't be done (as opposed to "would be very onerous to do") in the UI. For example, see this:
http://indesignsecrets.com/easily-add-captions-to-graphics-frames.php
For more info, check out the InDesign Scripting page on Adobe.com. You might also look at my blog here:

Also, Pete Kahrel has an O'Reilly eBook that is a very good introduction.

Capacity planning and hardware sizing

Hi,
I would like to know in detail about capacity planning and hardware sizing while deploying oracle database products. I need to know about properly planning the infrastructure and configuring and deploying the products. Moreover, when should we use RAC,how many nodes, exadata, DR etc. How to size hardwares RAM,Disk for this kind of implemetations.
I know it depends on budget and environment. Still if anyone kindly give some links/docs I will be able to have a decent start in this domain.
Regards,
Saikat

See , they all depend on your company policy and the database size that they are going to have.
1. Size : i have worked on databases sizing from 80G to 2000G , all depending on the client or the industry you are catering to.
2. hardware and Ram : Server Team should know this better , you can have a simple small server if the DB and application are small and the usage would be less. If it a full fledged system with high load then you need to get in touch with your server team and raise an oracle SR for exact specifications for that database and also plan for some future growth.
3. RAC : depends on the project if it requires such a setup.
4. DR : is for disaster management. Also all companies implement this by adopting data guard ( physical standby).
5. For having a good start , start reading the books and refer to oracle documentation. More you refer , more knowledge you will get .
Start with the basics.... make your basics strong.. and then move ahead with complex setups.
