Audio in a sequence falls silent right until the end of the sequence
Hmmm, ok, maybe I am completely clueless.... Anyway: I am making a video with 3 dv-clips that I imported previously. When I drag the clips from the browser into the timeline and render them, everything is ok and plays well. Then, after a little editing, i.e. cutting the sequences into smaller pieces, but leaving everything in the same sequence in the timeline, at some point parts from a sequence right to the end of it, fall silent. I can still see the audio in the viewer, but the audio meter itself shows zero audio and I can't hear anything anymore over the speakers. This goes right to the end of the sequence, the next sequence again starts with sound but also falls silent after a while, right until its end. Only the last sequence retains its sound right to the end. The silence starts at some point within a clip of a sequence, but there is no correlation to the marks of the sequence.
I have not (knowingly) done any audio editing, although I am working on a German keyboard and my menus show some odd commands, e.g. Cmd-Y for Undo because of this (the German keyboard goes QWERTZ and YXCV, so Y and Z exchange places) and I am still hitting Cmd-Z when I want to undo stuff, but Cmd-Z itself does not seem to have any function.
So, it looks like I am simply inadvertently giving FCX the command to shut up from a certain point in my clip onward right to the end, without actually silencing the data, since it is still visible in the viewer. I am stumped.
I had this happening to me a couple of times and the last time my only (desperate) remedy was to delete all the clips in the timeline, drag the originals back from the browser into the timeline, render again etc. etc. Well, rendering takes about 3 hours, so I'd rather prefer learning what the heck is the stupid thing I'm doing wrong. Any suggestions, anybody?
Well, not silly, just desperate;-) I tried a similar workaround. First I re-copied the two clips concerned into the sequence, cut them into pieces (it was a video of a concert, so I cut right after every song) and rendered the pieces separately. All went well, except for the last one, at which FCX had run out of memory again (how much does this s...er use anyway? I have 1.25 gigs of RAM, 4 gigs free on my boot partition and 20 gigs free on the document partition with the video; and NOTHING ELSE running). Anyway, repeating the render for the remaining clip was eventually no big deal either.
I saved after every step, so I would know, when something went wrong, but nothing did.
So, right now it runs oK, but leaves a somewhat stale feeling in my mouth, since I prefer knowing where the problems come from. My guess would be either a memory-related issue, or that, due to this strange shift in key commands owed to my German keyboard, I hit the wrong keys a couple of times and those did something elaborately strange to my audio tracks. Well, when it comes up again and I can catch the culprit, I will let you know. Thanx for your input for now;-)

Demuxing error right at the end of the iDVD process - iMovie file bad?
Hello!
I am getting a demuxing error right at the end of the iDVD process. I am posting here because one comment I received is that the issue could be the iMovie file?
I am using:
QT 7.6.2
iMovie 6.0.3
iDVD 7.0.4
OSX 10.5.7
Are these compatible?
All my "apps" are on a 10K main drive, the files on another 7.5k - have been using this for two months with no problems.
It is a big project pulling a number of clips from 4 imported VHS (I have been doing this successfully for years). I do a lot of "split clip of video head" to distinguish the clips.
The first project using about 25% of content worked fine creating a VIDEO_TS file (I always use pro quality setting). The second project trying to use another ~25% gave the aforementioned errors. One symptom is went I begin to create DVD process, the Time Remaining is 5+ hours, which is higher than normal. After about 20mins processing it drops down to the usual 2hr or so.
I create the iDVD project first, then import video.
To resolve: I am making sure I dont have index points close to anything etc., reinstalled both apps, fix this and that, removed pref file, themes, ALL the fixes I could find on all the discussions.
I even exported all the project clips as one .dv file, didnt split at video head, just put index points, and entered into new iMovie project, and started over. No good.
How can I tell if the iMovie file is bad?
Help - thoughts?It might be that you have mixed audio formats in your movie, one or more of which is incompatible with iMovie/iDVD.
Make a copy of your movie and try using the free download Streamclip to demux to aiff. Drag the copy of your movie into the Streamclip window and then File > Demux to Aiff.
Don't know if that will work, but it is worth a try. -
Hi - I am obviously new to Encore but this is what I want to do.
In a wedding video I want them to be able to:
1. Play the movie from start to finish.
2. Select a sequence (say Speeches) that plays from the start of the sequence until the END of the whole video.
So do I need 1 video for the play all one, as well as the 4 sequences - Reception, Cake, Speeches, Dancing?
ColinYou can use separate videos, or a single video. The single video is easier for your desired navigation. You will find more people asking how to get the "chapter" or scene video to back to a menu when it ends, and also have a play all. So ignore the advice on those.
Single video:
Your single video goes on one Encore timeline. "Play all" is a button to the timeline, and the timeline has an end action of "last menu."
Chapter menu has 4 buttons (plus a fifth to go back to the main menu), going to each respective chapter marker. There are no end actions on the chapter markers, so when another chapter is reached, it keeps playing through just like the play all.
Multiple videos:
Each video goes on its own timeline. The end action of video one timeline is video two timeline etc. Play all is a button that goes to timeline one. The chapter menu also has a button going to chapter one, and it works the same as the play all. Each of the chapter buttons go to their respective chapter timelines.
Encore can have some issues with lags, but I don't think they affect either of these workflows. Do not rely on the Encore preview; burn a test disk and play on a DVD player. -
Hi, Excuse my English, I'm using imovie 11, I want to delete a clip video at the end of the project, but keep the audio over the fade to black, everytime I delete the video, the audio is also deleted, please help!
I assume you are trying to end the clip/project with a fade to black, or something that just doesn't cut so instant.
One thing i'm thinking you can try is to Add a "Transition Clip" to the end, and try your first method. (with Detached Audio + Delete Selection. (Yellow highlight was deleted selection) Do you need something to end like this?
If you can, put screenshot up (Shift+Comm+4), if i'm not on the right idea. It seems like an easy fix, with a few ways of doing it. You can also add a blank image to end project, sub titles or Add,Cutaway fade +Opacity adjust. -
Howto trigger an update of SCEP at the end of the task sequence?
Hi,
Howto trigger an update of SCEP at the end of the task sequence?
Please advise.
J.
Jan HoedtDo you know if the command is running in WinPE mode or full-OS mode? You might try wrapping the command into a .bat or .cmd file and then running that through the task sequence.
Edit - I don't know how you're doing your task sequence initializing (e.g. unknown computers, OSD imaging collections, etc), but do you have a Client Policy (not Endpoint Protection Policy) set to allow SCEP to be managed? And if so, how are your imaged
PC's getting into the collection to be managed. Same for SCEP updates.
What I wonder is if your PC's know they have updates deployed to them. That command line, if I remember right, will search for your internal update server, aka WSUS/SCCM for updates. If the device does not have SCEP updates deployed to it, that
command will do nothing. If you add -MMPC to the end of it the device will download from Microsoft.
There's a setting client setting for Endpoint protection called Disable Alternate Sources for the Initial Update. What is that set to? Sorry, I know I just threw a bunch of information at you and asked a lot of questions. -
Sequence header at the end of the sequence in the report
Good afternoon everyone,
I have a strange issue with my TestStand Report (any kind of report type) : some time ago the headers (with the name, the parameter's values, the module time, the status) of the sequence and sub-sequence were at the begining. Now they are a the end of the sequence, which means instead of having the status of the sequence first, I have the status of all the steps contained in the sequence BEFORE having the status of the sequence.
I have checked and double checked the Report options : nothing tells that the headers must be at the end.
I have 2 bench on which my sequences are running and one of them has the sequence headers upside down in the report and the other has the headers in the proper order. Their report options are exactly the same and I can't find where the configuration is different !
Does anyone have some idea ? Please ?
TestStand revision : 2010To Norbert :
The steps in the body are ok, in the correct order yes.
I've attached two extract of report (check the Report Correct first), change the extention from ".txt" to ".html", the html one wasn't authorized by the forum.
To jiggawax
I'm not using XML format, only text or html. Where is located the ReportOptions.ini file ? I cannot find it with a basic search, could it be hidden ? As I am not managing this file in the configuration of the benches, it might be the origin of the problem !
Both benches are running the same client sequence indeed : the client sequence are located on a network reachable by the benches.
I doubt that one the client sequence can override a report callback but afterall I should make sure of this possibility.
Thanks for your help !

When I try to launch an adobe application I am prompted to renew my creative cloud subscription... even though I'm pre-paid up until the end of the year. I can't use any of my applications at the moment.
Another update: The one month free trial software is no longer working for me as a work-around.
Also: I tried to open up my Adobe applications from two other machines that I have in the house, but it did not work. I received the same subscription renewal popup loop. This leads me to the conclusion that it is strictly an issue on the Adobe Licensing Server side, and NOT a localized issue with something wrong on my system. -
I am having problems copying and pasting clips from one project timeline to another. When I do this they often alter in length. Sometimes by two frames. Other times they lose a chunk off the end of the last clip in the sequence. Has anyone else found this?
You need to give a lot more information about the media specifications and the project properties you're using in the different projects.

To set the audio upto the end of the slide
Hi all,
Please let me know how I can extend the audio time upto the
end of the slide time. For example a slide time will be 20 mts . I
want to set the audio time upto that time . Now I am using the file
loop ampient3. It can hear only 17 seconds. I am using captivate 3.
With Regards
PolachanHi Polachan
If this is for a single slide you will need to edit the audio
clip and do some copy/paste magick to get the timing as desired.
If the audio is for the entire project, you probably need to
instruct it to loop. You do this using the Preferences dialog.
Click Audio > Background Audio to configure the sound clip as
background audio. You probably want to make it loop.
Cheers... Rick -
My "Open a new tab" button (the +) does not appear at the end of the tab strip, it does not look like it is given in all photos here in the support page. It did not look like this before either. Now I have it at the most left end i.e. before the tabs begin. I can move it to the most right, but it sticks there. I want it to be attached to the last open tab, as it used to be, and as is shown in example Firefox photos.
Could be useful if I sent you a print screen, but I don't see an attachment option here.

Repeat subform until the end of the page
Hi there,
I'm relatively new to Livecycle and scripting, and I have a question that can hopefully be answered. I have a form in which the content is set to flowed and includes expandable fields. The last printable object in my form is a repeatable subform called ChainOfCustody. It's presence is set to hidden until the user clicks Print. It then becomes visible on the prePrint event. I'd like to have ChainOfCustody repeat as many times as it takes to fill the page it's on regardless of whether it appears 1 time or 10 times. I thought I could use addInstance inside a While loop and test when it's no longer on the current page, but that didn't work. I'm running out of ideas at this point, so any help is appreciated. (Below is my form's hierarchy, if that helps.)You can achieve this by using master pages and pagination.
The implementation will be determined by your form requirements. The simple example attached is an example with two body pages:
- sPageBody
- sPageLast
Regardless of how many pages the sPageBody flows over (by clicking the 'Add Section' button) and whether the sHideShow subform is hidden or visible, the sLastPageFooter always displays at the end of the last page.

When I create a new project in iMovie and drop clips into it, it plays the first one and then quits right near the end of the second clip. I have re-started my computer, tried a new project etc, and no luck, does anyone know how to fix this issue?
This is a part of the larger MacBook Pro connectivity issue. There are several related threads dealing with the MBP's networking problems. If your unit is suffering from this type of difficulty, good luck ... (or a long ethernet cable)
(PS Everybody please make noise on this one so apple comes up with a solution.)

In my video clip there is an orange bar that does't extend to the end of the clip. I think this is an audio bar. How do I get the full audio to play when I move the clip to the project?
Did you try to set it up "as new ipod" without using the latest backup? The backup might contain damaged data causing your problem. If setting up "as new" does not work, you'll have to get it serviced.
Setting up as new device and transferring data before doing this is covered here: http://support.apple.com/kb/HT4137
