AE CS6 on Windows8: H.264 Coded generated very strange frame rates when rendering

funny things are happening:
I import 300 jpegs (canon 6D raw exported from LR as jpeg at max quality)
create a new composition (with 25fps)
render video in h.264 @25 fps
videos rendering works fine, plays well at external player.
drag and drop video from file explorer to AE project window:
framerate: 0.081
how does that happen and more important: how can this be fixed?
even more funny: until using 200frames to render, frame rate ist at 25fps,
having more frames in the video, framerate goes down below 1 close to 0...
is there some know issues with the h264 codec in ae?
thanks
Claus

Definitely. If you use a temporal (time based) codec like H264, the Render Queue will create inefficient results, as it can't look ahead or behind while it renders. AME can, which means you get superior compression results.
If you need to render from the Render Queue - for example, if you're rendering multiple output segments and formats in one pass - then use an intermediate codec, then convert to H264 later using AME or any other decent compression tool.

Photoshop CS6 13.0.4 Update - Icons look very strange/hazy

Hi :-)
I have installed the latest Update for Photoshop CS6 (13.0.4)...
And now the Toolbar-Icons look very strange and hazy... :-/
you can not see almost what are the symbols represent...
for example the Spot Healingbrush etc...
Is this a Bug, or the Icons are "re-designed" (but worse than before)...?

Right at the end of the Hidden Gems workshop, one of the audience asked Brian Hughs if there any plans to accommodate high dpi displays for Windows systems, as with Retina Displays. He said yes, but in a kind of offhand way that did not sound like anything was even remotely near to release. Plus you are going to need a CC subscription when it is released. As hardware gets ever better, that is a factor that is going to seriously compromise all those single app users who have sworn they will never go with CC.
http://tv.adobe.com/watch/max-2013/hidden-gems-in-adobe-photoshop-2/
One thing that I immediately thought about was that with a CC subscription being cross platform, it would truly viable to own a Retina Mac Book Pro along with a Windows desktop system. My Dell XPS M1710 is seven years old now! I love the big 19 inch screen, and over the years it has had a much bigger HDD and maximum possible 4Gb RAM, but it a bit of a tired old Hector now.
Does anyone here use both Windows and Apple systems, and is it a realistic proposition?

Adobe Bridge CS6, Output to HTML Gallery coding issue.

Adobe Bridge CS6, Output to HTML Gallery coding issue.
I have created the html, JavaScript, css file using the output function in Bridge CS6, which nicely generates the coding, pages, folders and files. I can edit the html files such as gallery title, name, etc., in Dreamweaver CS6 just fine and preview them in a selected browser (both chrome and IE) and everything works fine.
When I ftp upload the files and directories into my hosting account (Go Daddy), the images do not show up. The file table appears but the thumbs images does not appear and when selected to preview the larger image, it does not appear either. I have not altered the file structure at all. Go Daddy says it is a coding issue, but I cannot fine any errors.
Have you seen this issue before? All Adobe help research have failed. Any suggestions??

Have you asked on Go Daddy site for help in uploading Adobe Bridge script? Just to say it is coding is not helpful.

If you disabled GPU drawing in Photoshop, the problem should go away (because the bug is in the OS GPU code).
And did you update your GPU driver from Intel's website?

Why is Illust. CS6 generating an additional rectangular path when converting brush stroke to path?

I depend on custom brushes where I convert those brushes to outlines and then "Unite" those objects in Pathfinder.
I never had any problems through CS5, but now CS6 is adding an additional rectangular path surrounding the object, so when I go to unite multiple objects I get a bunch of united rectangles instead of pine needles, for example. What the heck.
Thanks in advance for any solutions to this issue.

In older versions of Illustrator (about AI 9 or 10) there was a trick to avoid getting similar superfluous paths by first selecting all objects (or just the brush objects), then applying the Effect > Distort and Transform > Transform Effect in placebo mode (just take the default values).
After that, you could go to Object > Expand Appearance.
Not sure if that bumpy workaround still works in AI CS6.

Premiere Pro CS6 for Broadcast ProRes HQ Frame rate issues

I switched from Avid to work on a quick project with DSLR footage shot on the 5D Mark III at 29.97 psf which is not to be confused with 29.97i, a standard frame rate necessary for broadcast. So the commercial spot was cut together, I punched in the proper settings (the very same settings that work with Avid 6.0+ and Final Cut Pro 7), and hit export. When exporting either a Quicktime Animation or Pro Res file from Premiere Pro CS6, premiere creates a file with a faulty framerate, it comes out as 28.4 instead of 29.97. I thought I was going crazy, but no, there are tons of documented experiences with 23.94 being 20-something, and on an on. It seems as if Adobe did not do a good enough job with integrating the Pro Res codec into their software. The only way I could get around it was to export to something else (Blu-ray H.264 at 29.97), and then re-encode that file to Pro Res HQ with either compressor or adobe media encoder. The problem lies in exporting progressive footage as interlaced, it just completely screws up the frame rate. The worst bit is that, I need Pro Res HQ for the distribution house for the commercial spots, they require the ProRes HQ MOV at 29.97i and if anything is off, I get charged for it.
Does anyone else have problems with Adobe Premiere lacking on the professional end? Or similar experience with this problem?
Just do a search for pro res frame rate issue premiere and you will see a lot of other users with the same issue.
Thanks,

Variable Frame Rate on H.264 output

I am using AE CS6 (cloud version). I am trying to render compositions to 1080p mp4. Each time the comp appears to render fine. But bringing it into my NLE crashes my NLE. I brought the media into MediaInfo (app from SourceForge that shows everything about a media clip). It says that the Frame Rate is VARIABLE Min: 60fps; Max 60.6 fps. The composition was 80 fps, and I told the renderer to keep it at 80. MediaInfo also said the duration was over 6 seconds. The composition was a little over 4 seconds. So the overall speed of the comp was incorrect. I've been in the video business for about 10 years. I understand frame rates, etc. Never heard of VARIABLE frame rates until this.
I was able to launder the media file through a freeware media format converter, and got it back into constant frame rate so I could proceed in the NLE with the project. But the time was still 6 seconds. So I had to speed up the clip in the NLE to get it back correct.
Since moving to CS6 from CS4, I decided to start using the H.264 output module. So I've just started encountering this variable frame rate problem.
So my questions... What is variable frame rate, how did I 'request' it, why is even the variable frame rate no where near the comp frame rate, and what do I do to simply get an mp4 with the 80fps that I want?
This is very reproducible for me. My comps are usually either HDTV 1920x1080 or HDV 1440x1080.
Add to Render Queue
Select DV Settings, change field order to none
Select H.264 output module
Render
Can someone explain what's going on?
Thanks.
Jerry

Where did you get that footage and what format was it originally shot in? Was it shot in slow motion or did you change the frame rate in AE? Why would you need 80fps footage unless you're going to slow it down to a normal frame rate?
Also, h.264 is not only a very lossy format, it's also a bad intermediate format. So if you're planning on editting that footage later on in an NLE, I'd suggest rendering it to something else. Premiere should work fine with h.264, but not FCP, although I think they fixed it in FCPX, but you didn't say what NLE you're using.
Second of all, the H.264 encoder is much better in Adobe Media Encoder. Check this post by Andrew Yoole:

As the other guys have said, don't use AE to render using temporal codecs. Temporal codecs like H264 rely on storing partial frames based on earlier information. AE renders and encodes one frame at a time, so most of the efficiency of a codec like H264 is lost. The result is that you get much lower overall quality from an AE h.264 render than if you were to encode it externally.
Adobe Media Encoder or Quicktime 7 will encode great quality H.264 files.
Was this helpful? Yes No
As I said I'm not sure why you would need to take an 80fps piece of footage back into an NLE, but if you're trying to make that footage play back in slow motion, you're going to have to re-interpret the frame rate of the footage in After Effects to play back at standard rate. And, if you're going to use the AE Render Queue to output something for more editing, I would suggest using best settings and outputting to a production codec such as a ProRes, Animation, Uncompressed 10bit, Uncompressed 8bit or Black Magic.
Also I've never used that media info app before, but I know that when you open up quicktime and hit command I on the mac to view the inspector, the playing fps jumps around. I think this happens because the player doesn't necessarily play back the correct frame rate at all times.
This Adobe Captivate blog talks about variable frame rates in F4V files. Maybe it might help explain things.

Report is generating very slowly

Hi all, my crystal report is generating very very slowly my report is having many sub reports inside it as well,
see the time difference in the following lines that comes out while generating the report from my Application, please comment how can i solve this
03/26/2014 06:03:47 PM ... Process({User I/F} Priority: 4, user interface)
a RDCReport is getting OLE property "SQLQueryString" with arguments: ()
03/26/2014 06:07:38 PM ... Process({User I/F} Priority: 4, user interface)
Get OLE Property "SQLQueryString" returned: SELECT "TABLE"."COLUMNS" .................... long long query here
No functions or cursors have applied in crystal report but still it is taking too long to generate

hi Muhammad,
what happens if you run the report in the report designer, i.e. crw32?
i would suggest looking at your subreports as running a lot of details level subs in a report is going to be slow. if you've got subs on the details level, one query will be run per subreport on each record, which will eat up a lot of processing.
sometimes subreports can be eliminated as well...for example, if your subreport contains the same tables as your main report, you can get rid of a subreport and substitute it for a cross-tab if you're only showing data in tabular format.
try suppressing all of your subreports as well, and then un-suppress them one at a time, refreshing the report each time a subreport is unsuppressed. perhaps there is one particular subreport that is a problem.
if you only find that your subreport is slow in your application, please post a new discussion to the crystal reports for visual studio forum.

Oraarch file getting generated very often in /oracle/ SID /oraarch/

Dear All
I am facing a problem of getting oracle archive (oraarch) generated very frequently nearly 50MB file in less than a minute due to which my Filesystem capacity of Oraarch is getting full soon.
I have monitored there is no any batch job, Upload job, or any loaded job going even in Idle time in late night the same frequency of Archival is going so in a duration of 6-7 hours i am getting the total archive of 50GB.
I have Oracle 10g Patch Set 10.2.0.4.0 and all the 39 Patches & 2 CPU Patches applied by Opatch & MOPatch and all the Oracle 10g Parameter are set as per the note 830576.
Can you please let me know what can be the issue?
Thanks & Best Regards
Rahul

You probably have statistics being populated and AWR running. Oracle 10g has system jobs that are set to run frequently (i.e. every hour, every night, etc).
column repeat_interval format a70
select job_name, repeat_interval, enabled from dba_scheduler_jobs;
column what format a50 word_wrapped
select job, last_date, next_date, broken, what from dba_jobs;
50mb is probably too small for your environment. You'll probably want to at least double that... at least.
And if your oraarch is filling up so frequently you should consider increasing the space of oraarch. It sounds like your system is much busier than you expected.
Run this command to get an idea of what Oracle recommends for your redo log file sizes...
SELECT TARGET_MTTR,ESTIMATED_MTTR,WRITES_MTTR,WRITES_LOGFILE_SIZE, OPTIMAL_LOGFILE_SIZE FROM V$INSTANCE_RECOVERY;
If that doesn't work it's probably because you're not using the system parameter fast_start_mttr_target... which I guess is something SAP advises against using? I'm an Oracle DBA but a SAP newbie so I'm still learning what parameters SAP wants me to set and why
Hope that helps..

Generated Pulse waveform is distorted when I deliver the signal to the output port in the DAQmx

Problem: Generated Pulse waveform is distorted when I deliver the signal to the output port in the DAQmx.
Environment: Windows XP sp3 (32bit), Visual Studio 2010 sp1, NI-Measurement Studio 2010
Device: NI - DAQmx PCI 6251
 Analog Input: 1.00MS/s multi-channel (aggregate)
 Analog Output: 2 Channel 2.00MS/s
Reference Example: AO_ContGenVoltageWfm_IntClk / AI_ContAcqVoltageSamples_IntClk
Generated Pulse:
1) AO0 = Square Waveform /0-5V / 8KHz / 0.5㎲/sample / sample 50% Duty
2) AO1 = Square Waveform /0-5V / 8KHz / 0.5㎲/sample / (Reverse Image)
Description: I’d like to deliver the waveform stream satisfied with specified constraints to the 2 channel output port in the DAQmx. To verify accuracy of the generated waveform, I did an electrical wiring from the Analog output channel (2 channels) to the Analog Input channel (2 channels) in DAQmx. As a result of this experiment, I could get a result which has signal distortion. Since the waveform has to satisfy with both high frequency (8KHz) and very short moment interval time (△t = 0.5㎲/sample) between samples, I cannot handle some parameters of the function in the referenced VC++ example. Following formulas shows an approach to deliver the generate pulse waveform to output port satisfied with constraints.
Analog Output Channel
Frequency = 8,000 cycles/sec (constraint)
Sample per Buffer = 2,000,000 = 2*106 samples/buffer
Cycles per Buffer = 80,000 cycles/buffer
Sample per Channel = 1,000,000 = 1*106 samples/channel
 Sample Rate = Frequency * (Sample per Buffer / Cycle per Buffer)
                          = 8,000 * (2*106 / 80,000) = 2*106 samples / sec
 △t = 1 sec / 2*106 samples / sec
           = 0.5 * 10-6 sec/sample (constraint)
 Buffer Cycle = Sample Rate / Sample per Channel
                          = (2*106 samples / sec) / (1*106 samples/channel)
                          = 2 channel / sec
Analog Input Channel
Sample per Channel = 1,000,000 = 1*106 samples/channel
 Sample Rate = 1 MS/s * (2 Channel) = 5 * 105 Samples / Sec
Program Code
AO_ContGenVoltageWfm_IntClk / AI_ContAcqVoltageSamples_IntClk (VC++ Example)
Result: The proposed approach was implemented in the experiment environment (VS2010, MStudio2010). As shown in Figure 1, we could get the unsatisfied result. Although I intended to make a ‘square’ pulse wave, the result looks like ‘trapezoid’ pulse wave (Figure.1). However, there is other result which was undertaken with different parameter condition. It looks like the square shape not the trapezoid shape.
Please let me know what the conditions make the problem of signal distortion. (AO0 = Green line / AO1 = Red line)
[Figure. 1] Frequency 8000 Hz / Cycle per Buffer = 8000 Result
[Figure. 2] Frequency 1000 Hz / Cycle per Buffer = 1000 Result
Questions: Please let me know following questions.
1) Is it possible to deliver the generated pulse wave satisfied with constraints (f= 8KHz), △t = 0.5㎲/sample) to the output port without distortion using PXI 6251?
(Is it possible to solve the problem, if I use the LabView or MAX?)
2) Are there some mistakes in the proposed approach? (H/W or S/W program)
3) What is the meaning of the Cycle per Buffer?, It could effect to the result?

Hi Brett Burger,
Thanks for your reply. For your information, I have set the sampling rate as 10000 as for the sound format, I have set the bits per sample as 16 bit, the rate as 11025 and the sound quality as mono. I tried using your method by changing the sampling rate as 8K but still my program encounter the same problem.
I wish to also create a button that is able to generate a preformatted report that contains VI documentation, data the VI returns, and report properties, such as the author, company, and number of pages only when I click on the button.  I have created this in my program, but I am not sure why is it not working. Can you help troubleshoot my program. Or do you have any samples to provide me. Hope to hear from you soon.
Many thanks.

Problems converting PDF to MS Word document. I successfully converted 4 files and now subsequent files generate a "conversion failure" error when attempting to convert the file. I have a large manuscript and I separated each chapter to assist with the conversion; like I said, first 4 parts no problem, then conversion failure. I attempted to convert the entire document and same result. I specifically purchased the export to Word feature. Please assist. I initially had to export the Word Perfect document into PDF and attempting to go from PDF to MS Word.

Hi sdr2014,
I'm sorry to hear your conversion process has stalled. It sounds as though the problem isn't specific to one file, as you've been unable to convert anything since the first four chapters converted successfully.
So, let's try this:
If you're converting via the ExportPDF website, please log out, clear the browser cache, and then log back in. If you're using Reader, please choose Help > Check for Updates to make sure that you have the most current version installed.
Please let us know how it goes.

Very strange error in text properties - AI CS6

Hello Everyone,
This morning I found very very STRANGE error in Adobe CS6 about text properties. Here you go.
In the picture one text 'ei and mosterd' was bold.
But after copy to new string the bold characters are changed to 'ig and mosterdz'.
This is very strange error I have seen ever.
Do you guys have any reason why CS6 act like this?
also do you have any option to fix this issue?
For your information:
I just done copy past. Nothing else.
All the properties are same for both.
No difference except the text string size
I tried the same file in different machines for check. But I still see the same error in all the machines.
System properties:
Mac os x: 10.8.5
Processor 2,8 Ghz Intel Core i5
Memory: 8 GB
Software: Adobe CS6

Wow, this is absolutely incredible... you try to parse an empty String to an int and it throws an exception... I'd never have thought.

How to generate very fast pulses (single puls)

Hi,
I have a problem with generating fast pulses in LabView (2009 / 9.0, Win7-64enterprise).
I try to explain my project:
I have a femtosecond laser which sends pulses with a frequency of 200kHz. It mean 100fs puls 4.9999us low...100fs pulse.....
The laser have a gate which switches the laser output on and off (optic crystal --> very fast)
My task is to make it possible to send one single pulse out of the laser. You should have some user interface with LabView and enter
the amount of pulses (one, two... or more) and a big "fire" button.So we can make tests with a fixed amount of pulses.
I am very new to LabView and really dont know how to generate very short pulses. I try with a NI-USB6008 card and was possible to do some time loops
to generate something close to 100Hz. Now I have NI PCIx-6351 card. and want to try to generate pulses of 1us. How to do??? I dont see any posibility to go below 1ms.
Later on I want to try some syncronisation with the laser. I want to catch one pulse and sync to the next pulse.
Anyone able to help me with this task ?
btw: sorry for my clamsy english...
bjoern

bjoern,
OK. A gate window should be something which can be accomplished.
The USB-6008 only uses software timing so fast pulses are not possible with that device.
I am not familiar with the PCIx-6351 and can find no reference to it on the NI website so I do not know what its capabilities are. Many of the NI cards with digital I/O and counters can generate pulses or pulse trains in the timing range you want. If you have the NI DAQ drivers, look for examples of pulse generation.

System generate PR for Stock material when it goes below specific quantity

Hi Gurus,
My requirement is that system should generate PR for Stock material when it goes below specific quantity eg. 5 Qty. I think it is possible through MRP in that respective material master but I am not getting exactly what data I need to maintain their. Should I need to check/change any config setting?
Requested you to help me in this regard.
Regards,
Amol.

Hi Rakesh,
actualy i am new to this area, for one material i checked its available stock, it was ZERO & MRP Type is "ND-No MRP Planning".
I changed its MRP type as you said to V1 or VB and maintained its Reorder point as 1.
Now, as this material in not available in stock ie. it means it falls below the Reorder point(ie. 1). now i checked in MD04, system won't generated PR. afterwords, I created Maint order & reserved the same material. again i checked in MD04 but system won't generated PR this time also.
plz suggest...even i am confused that, should i need do anything which i missed out?
MRP Run means what i need to do?
Regards,
Amol.
