Audio only render time takes forever??? not usually

Usually the rendering of a clip audio takes moments, then whereever I move it on the timeline it doesnt require re- rendering time. but today thats not the case. Long render time, and if I move the clip, I must re- render it again??? help! I bought 2 more gigs of ram. It also gave me a general error, and an "out of memory" once. Maybe its just a setting hopefully. tried it both on a version of 4.1 and HD 4.5 same issue. Also cant capture straight from my camera without it stuttering, and then audio going out of sync.

Hi, FCP 4.5 is not compatible with OS 10.4.9 -- you will need to downgrade to 10.4.8 or lower (http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?artnum=305284)
Also, are you sure the movie format your rendering is a quicktime file and not .dv/avi/etc. I've run into those same errors when working with other formats that are not native quicktime.

The downloaded TS file contains AAC which uses ADTS—a self synching Audio Data Transport Stream format. According to Wikipedia, "This file and streaming-based format are defined in MPEG-2 Part 7, but are only considered informative by MPEG-4, so an MPEG-4 decoder does not need to support either format." Based on this statement, my guess is that Apple now considers such support to be no longer needed in the QT X v10.3 media player since AAC content is, by default, normally found only in MOV, MP4, M4V, M4A, M4B, and similar containers which are not only supported by the system player but all Apple mobile device players. Even the latest version of VLC seems to have dropped this support for the AAC ADTS audio found in your downloaded TS file.
As to audio dropout in QT X v10.3, the problem you describe seems to be a "sync" associated issue. On my system clicking the playhead to move its current position resets the sync and audio becomes playable again.

Somewhat confused by your playlist URL reference here. Reference is for the following:
which is a QuickDraw video file which might be more easily captured as a QT X player screen rendering at a desired playback resolution. Since you say you are dealing with other TS sequences here, I am not even certain this is the playlist file you really wanted to reference.

Help Render times take too long

I have a 15 minute movie. I have used compressor settings "DVD Best Quality 90 All". I takes 5 to 6 hours to render.
I have a client that will be ordering 50 to 100 movies at a time each customized. So I will have to render each one. I need to do the rendering faster. I will buy a new MAC G5 if I have to. What do you suggest?

I've heard some good things about FastCoder, but we should really compare "Apples-to-Apples." While it's true that FastCoder can work in realtime it is by its very nature a one-pass device and if you use Apple's Compressor application in a so-called "fast" one-pass mode you can also encode MPEG2 in realtime. In fact, on a G5 you can do faster than realtime.
For example, using Compressor 2.0.1 on my lowly 800MHz PowerBook I can encode one-pass MPEG2 with PCM audio in a time ratio of 1.4:1 (admittedly slower than realtime). However, given that data I'd estimate that you could do near realtime encoding on a 1.25GHz G4. Thus, it should be possible to approach realtime MPEG2 encoding on any currently shipping G4 Macintosh -- Mac mini, eMac, iBook, etc.
It is true, however, that Compressor's best quality, two-pass encodings can take a very long time (over ten times the above example). So, you've got a tradeoff when using Compressor, do you want fast encoding or best quality?
I understand that FastCoder produces very nice output, so I'm not suggesting that the quality you will get with that product will be below what you could achieve with Apple's Compressor. However, when you compare encoding times you also need to consider tradeoffs between the encoding method and the quality of the output.
FastCoder certainly offers some advantages over software-only encoders, but I suspect that "Apples-to-Apples" it won't save you that much time if you have a G5 or one of the faster G4 systems.

Render Times on FCP Not Accurate?

Hi, <- My casual Greeting
Hopefully there are a few video editors out there on the forum... cause this one is program specific....
So I have been an avid Final Cut Pro guy for the last 4 years. I love the program.... I can work very easily in it but recently I got a new job in which I have been using both FCP and Adobe Premier.
Here is my issue... I have been using files that come in as MPEG 2 and have been using MPEG Streamclip to convert them over to a ProRes file for FCP. From FCP I have had to export them into 3 formats
1. Mpeg 4 (the file format our website takes)
2. FLV (Format for online video sites)
3. QuickTime (XDCAM) for our tricaster
The last week I have been using FCP and my render times have been (for a 5 min clip)
1. Mpeg 1 hour+
2. FLV 20 min+
3. QuickTime (XDCAM) 1 hour +
Yesterday I was told to use Premier as my boss uses Premier on a regualr basis and I assured him that the times would be the same as FCP is a Mac native program and that Premier was made to work on a mac but is essentially a PC program (I am eating my words now)...
I redid the renders on the same file...
On premier the render times were
1. Mpeg 30+ min
2. FLV 12 min
3. QuickTime (XDCAM) 40 min
Why is this? Do I just have something really messed up in my settings that FCP is not rendering quickly and Premier is? I would hate to have to hop over to Premier... I enjoy using FCP way to much.
The other question I have is why are FCP render times not accurate...
The renders will start saying 5 min then 10 then an hour etc.... and the time will not be accurate. If it says 5 min it may go for an hour... or if it says an hour it may just complete while still telling me I have an hour to wait.
Adobe Premier, right off the bat, will tell me the frame it is on and the percent and time left... almost to the T.
If possible... please help me get my fcp back on the right track.
Tim

Rendering can be much faster if you have a multi core intel Mac and you use Qmaster with Quick Clusters.
Here's how.
Set up Quick Clusters in Qmaster. (A description of how to do this is in the manual and also can be found in the Qmaster forum here in the Apple discussions as well as out on the web.)
Export your sequence from FCP using "current settings". (Do NOT use Quicktime Conversion!)
Open up Compressor and submit your file. Add the three output elements.
Submit the file and click "use unmanaged services"
Go have a cup of coffee while all the cores chug away at things. I guarantee it will be faster than the way you are currently exporting (if you aren't using clusters)

DATAVIDEO DN-400 - Audio Only Render Issue

Hello everybody. Right, picture the scene.... Recorded some footage on the unit and I've dragged it to my RAID drive. Load up FCP and import the clip.. SO the video plays fine but the AUDIO needs rendering. when i play it I get the "BEEP BEEP" and, of course, the customary red render line... Does anyone have a way around this – is it a settings issue?? (oh, and please don’t say “just render the footage”)
So… my next job is filming 2 days of lectures and it sort of defeats the whole streamlined process if I have to wait whilst the computer number-crunches (remember we’re talking 2 days of 45 minute lectures here..)
Not getting much joy from the UK distributors - maybe they’ll come up trumps but in the mean time, anyone got any bright ideas??
Oh, for what it’s worth, the file utility CD which is happily provided is PC only.. Yeh, that’s right PC only!!

Thanks everybody for your help. It seems the file utility software would do the job and easily make quicktime files but as explained earlier, it’s a PC only software program – this info is found in small print in the operating manual only… The below comes straight off the UK distributors web site :
http://www.holdan.co.uk/Datavideo/HardDriveRecorders/DN-400
“Easy to use file conversion utility that allows quickly conversion into a native file format for almost any NLE platform including AVID, MATROX, CANOPUS, Final Cut Pro and many more”
One could argue could be slightly misleading….. I’ll be having more words with them after the Easter break.
Thanks Nick for the recommendation of the Focus FS-5. Unfortunately it’s a fixed internal drive so for my needs I’d be looking at buying two! Also it’s Firewire–only and I need analog ins and outs too. The Grass Valley Turbo-R looks idea but at £8K GBP it’s a little outside my budget. Back to the drawing board...

Precompile statup time takes forever

We have a web app with approximately 370 jsp pages. We want to precompile
          the classes but the startup time is 45 minutes the first time you bring up
          the server. Ouch!
          To get around this, we precompile the classes before hand and then dropped
          them into the _tmp directory created by weblogic. This though still takes
          around 34 minutes, even though the classes have already been generated most
          of the jsp classes are getting recompiled.
          What triggers weblogic to recompile when the jsp pages haven't changed?
          Any help would be greatly appreciated.
          Eric


          WebLogic will recompile JSPs that have not been modified if they have been compiled
          with a different service pack than the WLS server is running. Look at the _isStale()
          method in a _<jsp-name>.java file (from -keepgenerated).

Embedding an imovie video (with audio) in Keynote on Ipad, audio only comes out on headphones not external speaker?

When using imovie on ipad to embed music onto ipad keynote slide, sound does not come out external speaker, only through the earbud jack? Is there a setting that will allow for sound through the external speaker?

Two possibilities I can think of. MAke sure that the side button on your ipad is set to screen lock & not mute. If it is set to mute, you'll need to slide it to unmute it before the speaker will work. Otherwise, it sounds like some kind of software glitch. I'd do a reset (I think you hold down the power button & the button on the top for like 10 seconds, until you get the screen asking if you want to turn your ipad off. Follow through, give it a few seconds, then restart it.

Why does CD burned as "audio" only play in computers but not car?

I've done all the troubleshooting steps but to no avail. My CDs burned from iTunes play in computers but not in cars. Help!

Some car stereos can't handle anything other than commercially pressed CDs. I find that burned CDs have a limited playable lifespan for my car and have been told by my dealership that the stereo is not rated to play CD-R discs (but that hasn't stopped me). There's something about the fact that home burned CDs are dye-based whereas commercially burned CDs have more of a metal layer abalated write done that makes them more reliable to read.
You might have to look into replacing your stereo with one that can handle CD-Rs. Crutchfield is a good place to research them and the included install kits are great.

ITunes takes forever to load

When i first got my computer and installed iTunes, everything worked fine. then when my Norton internet security expired it really slowed down. like it takes 10 minutes to just go to the iTunes homepage, ON A GOOD DAY. About a month ago i installed Norton 360 (better than the one before) and iTunes still takes forever! Does anyone have any help?

No help - but I have the same problem. Not only does it take forever to load but once it has loaded it takes forever to move around the library

Livetype render time

Hey, I'm pretty new to Livetype, and I'm wondering if the render times I am experiencing are normal. If I use scrolling text, creating 1 minute of titling, then place a livetype texture behind it (I'm using the texture "stage" if that helps). When I render to a .mov to import into FCE 3.1 the render time takes nearly 2 hours! I can render tons of ntsc video in FCE and it doesn't take nearly that long. Is this normal or am I doing something wrong here?
Thanks in advance for your help and/or suggestions.
nogrey

Hey Guys, Thanks for the recommend. Turns out, there was really no issue at all. When I began the export to quicktime move, the usual progress bar popped up, but said "approximately 72hrs". I watched for a few minutes and it didn't change. I cancelled and typed out this question. After trying it again, it turns out that the original estimate of 72hrs (this was for a 2 hr video) quickly dropped rapidly. I left the machine to do its work, but it didn't take very long.
Regards,
Greg

Repeated Region: show dubble entries only one time

I want to make a recordset where all 'cities' are shown only one time, It should not be like
The Hague
The Hague
The Hague
Rotterdam
Rotterdam
Amsterdam
But:
The Hague
Rotterdam
Amsterdam
This is the recordset:
SELECT c_city FROM canteen
This is the repeated region:
<?php do { ?><?php echo $row_allCities['c_city']; ?><?php } while ($row_allCities = mysql_fetch_assoc($allCities)); ?>
Thankx for any further help!

Add a DISTINCT statement to your query.

Audio only asset

Is is possible to link an audio only (AIFF with no video attached) asset to a button? When attempting to build a project including an audio only asset I get the error "No Video or Still Assets found in Track".
Thanks
B Bateman

Thanks, both reply's are helpful here.
I'm creating a wedding video for which only one camera was used. When the camera was busy or it was too dark an audio recorder was also used. I want to include these just-audio tracks in the menu for the viewer to listen to. I was hoping that when selecting a just-audio track the viewer could simply watch a black screen, turn away or whatever.
Creating a black video accompaniment to the audio track would solve the problem but increase the file size which I need to avoid. Perhaps the audio-only link could take the viewer to a second menu, black or otherwise, and they could listen to the track there? Is this my best bet?
Thanks everyone.

When we go to view albums from our iphoto library on apple tv it takes forever to load and then it only plays between 24 and 35 photos then goes back to the start. Then it goes through again and displays 1 more photo each time. Please help!

When we go to view albums from our iphoto library on apple tv it takes forever to load and then it only plays between 24 and 35 photos then goes back to the start. Then it goes through again and displays 1 more photo each time. Please help!

It's likely that your Library database has been damaged in all the crashing.
Download iPhoto Library Manager and use its rebuild function. This will create a new library based on data in the albumdata.xml file. Not everything will be brought over - no slideshows, books or calendars, for instance - but it should get all your albums and keywords back.
Because this process creates an entirely new library and leaves your old one untouched, it is non-destructive, and if you're not happy with the results you can simply return to your old one.

My I Mac is very slow or not responding. Mail takes forever to open and pinwheel continues for along time

My I Mac, using 10.8.4 is very slow, mail takes forever to open and the spinning pinwheel starts every time I try to use mail. any suggestions?

What year, screen size, CPU speed and amount of RAM installed?
How full is your Mac's hard drive?
How full is your Apple Mail?
How many applications do you run simultaneously in the background while working in another application?
Do you run any antivirus software on your Mac? Antivirus software can slow down the normal operation of OS X.
Do you run any "crapware" like Mackeeper or any other type of "crapware" like so called hard drive "cleaning" apps?

Premiere takes forever to render an AE composition that renders in seconds inside AE. (CS6)

So, I have a Premiere project that's basically a lot of After Effects compositions put together. It's a presentation of an architecture project, so it's mostly perspectives and a few animated sequences. No effects applied in Premiere, just a few cross dissolves and some titles.
Each of the After Effects compositions in After Effect is quickly rendered (I'd say about 2 seconds per frame, if that). But whenever I'm rendering them from Premiere (be it to export them or just "render effects in work area"), they take forever. Like, 30 seconds each frame. For a 6 minute film, that adds up to 3 entire days. That happens even when I set the work area in Premiere to a bit where there's nothing but the AE composition with no effects.
I could just pre-render them all in After Effects and they'll render much quicker in Premiere, but then I'll have to it once for every composition (about 30 in total), and then do it again whenever one of the compositions is changed. That doesn't make a lot of sense.
A few details:
- Rendering in Full HD 23,976fps
- There are a few different types of compositions. All of them are giving me a hard time. Some of them are compositions from 5000px wide PSD files with 2 layers and a linear wipe. Other is are DSLR .MOVs that are warp-stabilized and then timewarped to add motion blur. A few are .EXR sequences composed with a few effects and backgrounds.
- When I'm rendering them in Premiere, Task Manager shows 13% CPU being used (1 core) and 2,5gb RAM. When I'm rendering the exact same sequence in AE, it's usually about 28% CPU and 6gb RAM. "Render multiple frames simultaneously" is unchecked. There's 16gb RAM and 3gb reserved for other applications. Everything is, of course, 64bit.
- I'm using a Windows 7 on a 128gb SSD (plus a 1tb 7200 rpm HDD as a scratch disk and another for footage). i7 2600k, 16gb RAM.
So... any ideas?
Thanks.
P.S.: Man, I think I just got it. You're the best!
I'd been banging my head against the wall for three days. I just realized every single sequence had a keyframe for time remapping where it was set for 100% speed the whole sequence, but went to 0% like 3 seconds after it ended. AND time remapping fx was unchecked (off). No idea why someone would put it there or why that would affect the rendering time of the whole sequence which is set for 100%... but apparently just toggling animation on that solved my problem. So here it is for if anyone else has the same problem.

Here's what Todd Kopriva said in another thread: http://forums.adobe.com/message/3813422#3813422
"When the headless version of After Effects is called upon to render frames to serve Premiere Pro for a dynamically linked composition, it's just a single process---not the multiple processes that can run when when you're using After Effects as the primary application. Other resources (e.g.,CPU threads, RAM space, hard disk bandwidth, memory bandwidth) also must be shared with Premiere Pro in the Dynamic Link scenario."
So I guess that's the whole answer. In any AE composition that's resource-heavy in terms of CPU, rendering through Premiere is way slower - especially on an i7, which has 8 logical cores. That means you're using a computer that's 8 times slower and it makes a lot of sense to pre-render in AE before, as troublesome as that might be when you have 20 or 30 AE comps in your PPro project.
The "speed" glitch I had helped a lot, but didn't really solve it.
There's a way around that. Not sure it affects anything quality-wise. You just open AE and do a full RAM preview of the sequence. Then go to PPro and "render effects in work area" for that specific part of the project. If you go ahead and do alter the original composition you're gonna now it because the preview in PPro will be gone. A bit troublesome, but better than manually duplicating and pre-rendering 30 comps and having side comps with the actual effects as backup.
