Applying some filters (bcc) makes clip go black!

when i apply some filters (bcc3 film damage) to a clip, it makes the clip go black - even after alt+r to render all.
im on fcp 5.1 and it seems to be just this bcc3 - boris i think it is filter - other third party filters work fine, for example i have another film damage filter by 'G Film' and this works fine.

What graphics card do you have? Not all of them work with the Vignette filter, or Noise...in HD. They aren't powerful enough. Get a warning when you add the filter? We have one computer that can't recognize the filters, so we just replaced the graphics card with an ATI 3870.

  • Video FX make clip go black

    I've been trying to apply Video FX to my clips and sometimes, but not always after the clip is finished rendering the clip will be completely black. audio is still there but the clip is black. IF an effect is successful, I sometimes get this if adding multiple effects to one clip. Any Ideas?

    LISTEN TO ME!! Listen closely, I might be wrong but I came to notice when applying like you said fx effects on certain clips it converted my clips to "black" this cause is really unknown but I think applying 1 or more effects to a clip (or clips) is the root of the problem and I also notice that only certain fx effects is really the cause. I HAVE FOUND to work around it, take for example:
    I wanted to apply blk and wht to a clip after the rendering it went black..
    I thought it was a bug, i then put another effect to make it black and white..
    i de-saturated the clip and ta da my balck and white effect worked.. more less i worked around it
    i hope this helps for now cause it sure did for me .. pz out

  • Applying video filters to multiple clips in Final Cut Express HD

    Is there a way to select multiple video clips and add a video filter to all of them? Example: we have a movie that was recorded in 2 different widescreen aspects ratios. Can I change them to the same aspect ratio easily?

    I can't say for FCE, you may want to post in that forum. But in FCP, the method for applying filter(s) to multiple clips is to apply the filter to one clip then make the needed adjustments on the filter(s) in that clip. Next, right-click on that clip and select "Copy" from the contextual menu. Next, select all of the other clips to which you want to apply the same filter(s) and settings. Right-click on one of them and choose "Paste Attributes" from the contextual menu. When the Attributes window opens, choose Filters, then click OK.
    To apply the same filter to several clips (without settings) at the same time, select the clips in the Timeline, then drag the filter(s) from the Browser to the clips.

  • Applying multiple filters to multiple clips?

    Hi Guys
    I have about 100 clips in my Bin, is there a way to apply the same set of filters to all of them without dragging them into the timeline first?
    I tried dragging all of them into the timeline, then pasted filter attributes which works, then I did a long render which was fine, I then dragged them back into the Logging bin. The problem is when I drag them back to the timeline the need redering again.
    I basically want to apply the filters to all of my clips first while keeping them in the logging bin, then drag them to timeline as I need them.
    All ideas appreciated
    Cheers!

    I think you pretty much did what you can do in that respect.
    You could create a new timeline with the same settings, drag all your clips there, apply the filters, then drag copy clips as you need them to your original timeline. Seems like a strange way to do it though. Why not just cut your show without the filters then add the filters at the end?

  • Reversed clips go black and won't play

    i am using imovie 5 hd.

    it renders.
    then the clip turns black and cannot play.
    i can however view them in reverse in preview mode, but that doesn't help my movie much.
    please help me make my clips reverse.

    Hi, I just tried to figure out for about 2 h why my clips turn to black. I just can say that it's great that there are people who know. Thanks Karsten. Before finding the solution here I searched for the answer in the help section, with no any hint.

    I reopened the case for there was no fix  Adobe contacted me and told me it would be fixed is some future release of Photoshop and once again case # 181675168 was closed over my objection.
    I was vocal about Adobe poor excuse for support in forums.   I then was contacted by Jeff Tranberry of Adobe he was asked to  contact me by John Nack to see if he could change me.  We exchanged some e-mails ending with Jeff writing unfortunately, you issues has been deemed low impact and has been deferred.
    May 7, 2012  I called Adobe to find out if this bug was fixed in Photoshop for I did not want to buy CS6 if the Bug was not fixed. After about an hour on the phone talking to many Adobe employees including Adobe Support  referenced case # 181675168 log as Bug # 2737069. I was told the bug was not in CS6.  So I ordered CS6.   FedX dropped off Today I installed it only to find the bug introduced is CS4 reported in CS5 is still in CS6.  
    Adobe when will you fix this bug # 2737069????

    NOTES & RESPONSES
    Notes from Customer
    Thursday, June 10, 2010 8:21:19 PM PDT
    CS5 has a bug recording and playing Actions that add Adjustments layers. Old actions recorded before CS5 and actions recorded with CS5 may or may not Play/Work correctly.
    Before there was an Adjustment Panel all Adjustment Layers were added applied to all layers and you needed to clip them after the were added if you wanted it clipped. The new adjustment panel made it possible to add a adjustment layer clipped to the current layer. However a clipping parameter is not recorded by the action recorder just the type and setting are recorded.
    When a make adjustment layer step is play it is either clipped or not depending on the state of the adjustment panel's clipping icon. If it not in the same state as it was when the action was recorded it will be add incorrectly. It would also be impossible to create an action that added some adjust layer clipped and others that are not.
    I feel the is a serious bug which needs to be addressed. I believe the solution is simple and even old actions will also work.
    Two patches are needed.
    One in the Action recorder. If the step being recorded is make adjustment layer and the adjustment panel icon state is clip to layer this needs to be recorded in the action step record. If the layer is to be applied nothing extra needs to be recorded in the step record just leave it as is like actions prior to the adjustment panel.
    The second patch in the Action Player.  If the step that is about to execute is a make adjustment layer. The Player needs to save away the state of the adjustment panel icon. Then check the adjustment step record to see if it is to be clipped. If so set the adjustment panel icon to the clipping state else set it to the all layers state. Then do/call the add adjustment layer function/routine on return restore the adjustment panels icon from the saved state. Proceed to the next step.
    I have been trying to report the bug for days. Please at least acknowledge you received my bug report.
    Thanks

Custom support had me fill out a bug report at https://www.adobe.com/cfusion/mmform/index.cfm? name=wishform which I did but that was not even acknowledged. I demonstrated the bug to customer support by sharing my screen.
    As for you forums for some reason the forum web site states my Adobe ID is disabled so I can not append or start a thread there id screen name jjmack. I created a new Adobe ID yesterday [email protected] that to seems to be disabled or I can not come up with any screen name the is availably I have tried many. Every simple or outlandish name I have entered generates the same message screen name not available. I'm at my wits end I've been using Photoshop since Photoshop version 3.

    simpler then I first thought. Upon more investigation this is what I see.
    I skipped CS4 and when I installed CS5 I discovered a nasty bug had been introduced is Photoshop's Action facility most likely in CS4.
    Action that add adjustment Layers clipped to the current layer that step is recorded Make adjustment layer with Clip.
    Action that add adjustment Layers not clipped Step records as Make adjustment layer.
    When a step Make adjustment layer with Clip is played back that is what Photoshop does.
    When a step Make adjustment layer is played back what Photoshop does is look at the adjustment panel clipping icon state and and if it is clip to current layer Photoshop does clip the adjustment layer to the current when is should be applied to all.
    Many of the actions I have created add adjustment layer applied to all then later clip them to the current layer. These actions generate an error message if the Adjustment panel clipping icon is set to clip. Because the layer get added clipped clipping it is not available. The strange thing is the layer is clipped the way I wanted it to be. But actions I recorded where I want the adjustment to apply to all are clipped and the is no error message just wrong results.

    Create a one step action that add an adjustment layer that applies to all layers.
    Play that action with the icon in the adjustment panel is set to apply to all layers. Change the status of that icon to clip to layer and play the action again.
    You will find the first adjustment layer was added correctly apply to all layers like it was recorded the second adjustment was added clipped to layer when it should be applied to all...

    July 2 Adobe support called me once again they share my display and I demonstrated the bug for a second time. This time the stated they were recording my demo. After I demonstrated the bug they put me on hold for a while. Upon returning they informed me that there was still no circumvention or fix for this problem. They wanted to know if I was at the latest software level they were still sharing my display so I did a Photoshop Help About Photoshop to show I had the latest update Photoshop version 12.0.1. Told me they were not capable of handling this problem and would have to refer this to senior technical support that they would determine if it was a bug. What a joke Adobe junior technical support can not even recognize a bug when it has been demonstrated to them on two occasions now and also received several case update from me. Adobe you need better support personal.

    I would like to apologize for the delay in providing you a faster resolution to your issue and appreciate your patience with us.
    I would like to inform you that your issue has been logged as bug so the workaround is obviously to make sure the clip to layer is not enabled prior to running any of these actions.Also my Product Team and Engineering Team are working on this issue you can use the work around as mentioned above.
    This should resolve your issue. If it does, please let us know, however in case it does not; please revert with any new information that you might want to add which will help us in resolving your issue.

    Any work around does not solve my problem. Thousands have downloaded my actions. There is no way that I can contact them to make the aware of any work around. I can code around this bug but again I have no way to get the update to those that have downloaded my actions for they are free. All that is logged is the number of downloads. No registration is required so there is no way to contact the users that downloaded my actions. The problem will only be resolved when adobe updates Photoshop and fixes the problem.

    This case should not be closed till there is a fix for this bug. How can Adobe Support close a bug report when Adobe acknowledges its a bug where Adobe Support does not provide a fix. Blowing smoke with statements like "if in the future a resolution or fix is possible, it will be available from the Adobe Systems product update web site". Photoshop CS3 work correctly Adobe broke the Action Player in CS4 and its still broken is CS5. "if a fix is possible!"!!! Are you joking? What kind of support is that? Do you get a bonus for closing bug reports without fixing the bug? Does it make you look good inside Adobe. I can tell you from the outside there is a foul stench emulation from Adobe Technical Support.

    Dear John ,
    Thank you for getting back to us with the required information and we appreciate your patience in helping us to resolve your issue as soon as possible.
    I would suggest you to please go to through the KB document to move actions from Photoshop CS4 to CS5 given below :
    http://kb2.adobe.com/cps/860/cpsid_86020.html
    Please make sure about the loaction of actions which you created or saved in Photoshop CS4, go to that location and make sure you have all the actions there.
    Did it ever work in Photoshop CS5?
    Try to make a copy of the action that he is trying to run, remove the 'Hide' command and re-record hide in PS CS5, put it into the action, and see if that works.
    Or try making a short action along with Hide command . If this works, then something might have got changed between the version.

  • Clip goes black after applying reverse

    I'm posting this again with a clearer statement of what is going on in the subject heading.
    I am working on a series of projects where I need to make some clips run in reverse. Up until today, I have been highlighting the clip, pressing Command + J, and clicking the reverse box and setting the speed. And up until today this has worked fine.
    For some reason, out of the blue, when I do this now, the clip goes black. Rendering does not help. Trashing preferences and fixing permissions did not help. Any ideas?
    Thanks in advance.
    M

    In the timeline.
    I'm wondering if the clip is too long. I am capturing contents of old VHS tapes, and this particluar one was about 5 hours long. I would then set ins and outs and bring each section into a separate sequence.
    I used quicktime to break it into smaller pieces, and then the reverse function worked fine. I'm guessing there is a limit to how large a master clip can be and still function correctly.

  • Applying filters to source clips

    I'm looking to apply a lens correction filter to a source clip... I think I read somewhere that in the latest version if you apply a filter to a source clip it will apply it to everywhere that clip appears in the sequences. Is this true? If so, how do you do it?
    Thanks!

    A multi-track sequence brought over from Premiere, I have over a dozen clips from a funeral service video that need noise reduction.
    But, because it's a process effect, I can only work on one clip at a time. Furthermore, I may need to apply several passes of the NR effect to eliminate the noise without sounding weird.
    How then do I apply that effect (and its parameters) to the rest of the clips in the sequence?
    In Premiere, you can copy and paste effects (and their parameters) from one clip to another. There is no such thing in Audition that I can see.

    Hi, Alex.
    It seems you want to do some broadband de-noise processing. While one can do a noisefloor sampling from one clip and apply it to others (great for when you have multiple takes from the same setup), it may be best to noise sample each individually if the mic has moved position enough to cause the tonal characteristics to change.
    An example would be if on-screen talent is walking in an outdoor location. In one part of the location, a particular section of the clip has a lot of BG traffic noise. Another recording has a fountain in the BG - while it still may have some of the traffic in it, the predominant BG noisefloor is "strong fountain/weak traffic", so like others have mentioned, it makes more sense to make a new BG sampling to match the characteristics of this clip.
    All that being said, here is how you BATCH PROCESS / broadband de-noise a bunch of clips, it's a 4-tiered / 21-step process when starting from scratch.
                                  NOTE: there is a manual cheat after the Batch Processing lesson - skip to that if you wish
    (WARNING - this type of processing is most successful if the file has been EQ'd or gain boosted (if needed) before processing. This is also true for the noisefloor sample. It should be taken from the pre-adjusted clip so that it all matches level)
    1) find / open a source clip that best represents the BG noisefloor you wish to sample as your broadband source for processing,
    then in the WAVEFORM editor window press alt-shift-C to save this selection as a new file - give it a unique name that represents its function
         a. ideally, this selection will be more than 5000 samples
         b. should be free of non-BG noise sounds (Dx, footsteps, mouth sounds, it should sound like a very short ambiance loop)
    2) with your new sample saved and your source clip still open in the UI:
         a. load your noise print file
         b. adjust the Noise Reduction and Reduce by  sliders (I suggest you start with a noise reduction value of 100% with a reduce value of 3 to 6 dB)
         c. under Advanced Settings, set Spectral to 0%, Smoothing to 20, Precision to 7, and Transition width to 2dB - these settings
             are like painting not with a wide brush but with a thinner brush, which means less cancellation of frequencies you want to keep and less artifacting
         d. toggle on/off the Output Noise Only function to see just what you are subtracting in your process - a great way to make adjustments until your
             noisefloor-only sound is free of Dx and other Production sounds
         e. optional advanced step - in the process UI Frequency window, you can draw a curve to select the frequency ranges that will be processed - this is another
             way of "thinning the brush" so that you are NOT processing where it's not needed in the broadband range - i.e. hiss from a low-quality mic,
             open the FA window [alt-Z] to see realtime Freq. Analysis on playback of your clip with the processing;
             adjust your settings and the curve in the window to counter the frequency range of the noisefloor - this process is like alchemy, wicked awesome
         f. once you're happy with your settings,  click the Save Effects Preset button (down-arrow on hard-drive) next to the Presets pulldown button.
                   do NOT apply your process yet - that's the next step
    3) now, you're going to create the Favorite that the Batch Process will use to process your clips
         a. select Favorites / Start Recording Favorite (every user function of the software is now being recorded into a macro)
         b. in the Noise Reduction UI, click the Load Noise Print button and select your saved file
         c. now, select your preset from the pulldown menu
         d. click the Select Entire File button below the UI Freq. window
         e. click Apply
         f. click Favorites / Stop Recording Favorite
    4) now, under EDIT, select Batch Process
         a. select your new Favorite from the pulldown tab
         b. drag and drop the files into the Batch window or load them from the Load button in the upper left of the Batch window
         c. click the Export Settings button in the bottom left
         d. set any pre/postfix labeling additions (this works a lot like Adobe Bridge's Batch Rename tool - amending the original filename to differentiate
         e. set a NEW save location to isolate the files
         f. set the format / type / bitrate  (best to keep the original format or a higher quality); when finished, click OK
         g. in the lower right corner, click the RUN button and watch the magic right before your eyes
    [HERE IS THE CHEAT]
    Now that you're learned the magic of batch processing (FYI a new favorite can contain / execute multiple existing effect processes), here is what I recently did in a doc with interview footage - guys in front of a green screen with a less than perfect sound environment.
    1) in Multitrack mode, double-click your clip to process
    2) in Waveform mode, select the noisefloor area to sample and type shift-P
    3) type ctrl-shift-P to open the UI - adjust your De-noise settings for ALL of your processing
    4) type ctrl-A to select the entire file
    5) click Apply; type ctrl-shift-S to save this processed file (I add "_PROC") as an alternate to the original which still exists should you want to go back to it easily - the ALT file will be in the multitrack timeline
    6) type G (de-select I/O area) then type F12 key - returns to Multitrack mode
    7) double-click your next clip to process and repeat steps 3-7 until finished (you won't need to tweak the settings in 3 after the initial step 3)
    In 3-5 minutes, you're Done!
    I discovered another layer of coolness within Audition regarding CLIP Effects Racks where one can setup a stack of effects, save as a User Preset, and apply them to either an individual clip, a set of clips, or to a track.  This is great when you want to apply, for example, a Parametric EQ for filtering an outdoor location or boosting a lav mic's High Freq. Shelf for addition sibilance PLUS a Tube-modeled Compressor to handle dynamics...you spend a lot of time tweaking the settings "just right", and now you want to apply to more than one clip on a track.
    In a short film I'm working on, I use this technique to apply EQ and Room Ambiance (reverb) to camera perspective changes on a single track of ADR for off-camera Dx.  I place the Dx in a track. Splice on the camera edits to make unique clips, select the Audio Perspective preset I made for each camera angle, and Voila!
    Have fun!

  • Some filters not working in photoshop cs2

    The bas relief, charcoal, graphic pen, halftone pattern, photocopy, plaster, reticulation, stamp and torn edges filters are not working working for me for some reason.
    I checked the image mode and it is set to 8 bit RGB like it is supposed to be, but for some reason it just makes the images Black and does nothing else.
    Here is a example.
    I put in a normal jpeg image just like this one.
    But when I put try and put one of those filter's on it the image comes out like this.
    The image just turns plain black. Ive tried restarting photoshop but it doesn't fix the problem

    Try resetting your preferences as described in the FAQ.
    http://forums.adobe.com/thread/375776?tstart=0
    You either have to physically delete (or rename) the preference files or, if using the Alt, Ctrl, and Shift method, be sure that you get a confirmation dialog.
    This resets all settings in Photoshop to factory defaults.
    A complete uninstall/re-install will not affect the preferences and a corrupt file there may be causing the problem.

  • Applying a transition to multiple clips, titles, and stills

    Hello,
    I'm banging my head against the wall trying to achieve something that seems like it should be fairly simple.
    I'm producing guitar instruction videos that often use still images, five or more title clips (for text highlighting concepts presented in the video), and generator clips (used for masking).  All of this is layered over the primary shot of me talking to/playing for the camera.
    I'm looking into using a simple transition like "Slide" between chapters/sections of the video to prevent jump cuts.  My goal is to include all clips in the transition: That is, if I only apply Slide to the two clips in the storyline, the other clips connected to the later clip in the storyline--titles, still images, etc.--remain stationary, which looks wierd.  I want the whole enchilada--everything visible, still images and titles included--to slide over in unison.  And I want to be able to do this 5-10 times over the course of a 5-minute video, and I'll be producing 20-50 videos.  So I need an efficient workflow.
    A simple example would be the edit at 1:47 in this video I producted:
    http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=R3Yvef14A00
    I'd like to apply a slide transition so that not only the image of my holding my guitar, but also the title "Stage 2", slid over the preceding footage.
    And more importantly, what if, in addition to the text "Stage 2," there was a still image and several other titles?  How would I get all of them to slide over together?
    Storylines don't seem to be the answer--You'd have to create a different one for each additional clip, which seems cumbersome.  And compound clips and transitions don't seem to mix well--when I try to transition between compound clips I'm told there isn't enough extra media to create the transition.
    Thanks so much,
    Rob

    Thank you Jakob, this will make things quicker once I know how to apply the transition.
    But it doesn't answer my primary question: How to apply the transition.
    Maybe some screenshots would illustrate the problem:
    Image 1
    www.heartwoodguitar.com/temp-imgs/1.png
    Here the playhead is just before an edit point between two sections: The Guitar Strap section and the Capo section.  Right now, a single still image is visible (dude with a chain for a guitar strap).
    Image 2
    www.heartwoodguitar.com/temp-imgs/2.png
    Here the playhead is at the edit point where I want to apply a Slide transition.  As you can see, in addition to the clip in the storyline (video of me holding my guitar), there are four title clips and two generator clips.  I'd like all seven of those clips to slide across the still image of the dude with the chain guitar strap.
    Does that make things clearer?

  • "Show Photo Settings", my clip is black

    De Javous all over agan. I am using HD 6.03, and have been for quite a while. Back a couple of years ago there was a software flaw the was fixed, now it has come back to haunt me.
    When i have a clip I want to modify, I go into "Show Photo Settings", my clip is black, why is this happining again?
    paul

    Hello, Paul,
    Yes, my workflow is similar to yours. I think the main thing is to do the photos first and the music last, as you are doing.
    I put in my videos first, cropping out the parts I know I won't need. Then I put in the photos. I know that I will eventually have to crop the video clips again to get what I want with the photos, but initially I just put the photos in the correct order. Then I 'fix' the photos to be the right size, duration, etc.
    Next I adjust/crop the video clips and move the photos to their more correct place. If I want the audio to play from the video clip, but over a photo instead of the audio, I make that correction. I do that by either extracting the audio and pasting over the photo, or using WireTap to record the audio from the video clip and just laying the audio clip under the photo and deleting the video clip. I lock all this type of audio clip to its corresponding photo.
    Then I evaluate where I want/need Ken Burns effects on my photos and add that. Sometimes I use Photo-to-Movie for a panning of a large group where I want to title the people.
    Next I do titles and transitions.
    Last I add music.
    Sometimes if the movie has a lot of short audio clips or many video clips and/or photos, I find that the playback becomes slow or stilted or the audio continues and the video lags.
    If I have done all the editing I need to on the clips, I then export the movie as Full-Quality QuickTime. This of course results in a movie that is one long single clip, but it plays audio and video correctly. It can still be edited, but it is a bit tricky to do so, since the audio and video tracks are now one.
    If my movie is long, I usually add chapter markers to the original iMovie, just to know where they should be.
    I then put the new QuickTime movie into a new iMovie project and use that as the movie I burn to DVD. I add music to it, add my chapter markers and then I am ready to use it in my iDVD project. Having placed chapter markers in the original iMovie makes it much easier to create those markers in the QT iMovie. You can open both iMovies at the same time and use the time codes for each marker.
    Most of my movies are of family videos and photos for the year. Each one is nearly two hours. Some years require several DVDs, depending on the activities for that time; some years everything fits onto one DVD. I even went back to the earliest family photos we had.....from the 1890s...and have made DVDs of each side of the family as a history for our kids and grandkids.
    Hope this is helpful!
    PS. Matti's comment about deleting the trash is absolutely correct....I forgot to add that in my first reply

    I recently had some 8mm film transferred to DVD. I am trying to edit the film clips using Premier Elements 4.0. so I can reburn the films on a single BluRay disc. Some of the film clips copy into the project but others don't. I tried copying the VOB filed onto my hard drive and then changing the file extensions on the VOB files to MPEG but this was no help. Some of the VOB files contain numerous film clips but my software does not appear to be able to recognize them as such. I need to know if replacing my old Premier Elements with the new Version 13 would solve this problem or not. Any advice would be greatly appreciated!

    What do you have now.....
    What computer operating system do you have?
    We can go into the finer points of source and your intentions, but for now it would appear that you are using SD 4:3 source media to get to a HD 16:9 result. Lots to discuss in this regard.
    What was given to you on the DVD disc? DVD-VIDEO 4:3 or something else?
    If DVD-VIDEO on DVD disc, you should expect to find on the disc a folder named VIDEO_TS. That is your target for your video files.
    If you were given a DVD-VIDEO on DVD disc, then all you want from it are the video files, specifically
    VTS_01_1.VOB, VTS_01_2.VOB, and so on through that series until possibly getting to
    VTS_02_1.VOB, and so on. How many files you have beyond the VTS_01_1.VOB file will depend on the size of the DVD-VIDEO.
    Does the above scenario apply to you?
    The alternative might be someone giving a DVD disc (data disc) which contains just the VTS files mentioned which were copied from
    the VIDEO_TS Folder. So, you do not get the whole VIDEO_TS Folder, just the essential video files. Does this scenario apply to you.
    I see no need to replace your Premiere Elements 4 with a later version unless you have a huge project and need a later version that will be a 64 bit application running specifically on Windows 7, 8, or 8.1 64 bit computer.
    Consider...Premiere Elements 4 and if you have DVD-VIDEO on DVD....
    1. Place the DVD disc in the burner tray
    2. Open Premiere Elements 4 and set the project preset for NTSC DV Standard (assuming you are working in a NTSC setup)
    3. Go to
    Get Media
    "DVD, Digital Camera, Mobile Phone, Hard Drive Camcorder, Card Reader"
    "Adobe Premiere Elements - Media Downloader" and its Advanced dialog.
    Set the Source in the latter dialog for the drive which has your DVD disc inserted in its tray
    You should see your VTS_01_1.VOB thumbnail in the "Adobe Premiere Elements - Media Downloader" Advanced dialog.
    With this VOB selected, click on Get Media to get the file from there into the project.
    Should work fine.
    Complications may be involved if the people who processed your footage gave you something other what is described above.
    Please review and consider, and then we can plan our project strategy accordingly.
    Thank you.
