Audio within particular section of my dvd project can't be heard anymore.

Everything was playing/sounding beautiful; I was close to finishing when all of a sudden the 4 tracks within a choral section can't be heard though the track is playing. Looks ok but sound is missing, whether I'm in the viewer, simulator... anywhere! Elsewhere in the project the audio is fine.
Previous to this development I'd been adding/changing connections, but really to tweak other sections of the DVD; I don't recall doing anything to this section. The video (lyric) is there, but no audio.
This doesn't seem like a hardware issue to me. More like a newbie issue perhaps. At least I hope it's something simple.
Suggestions greatly appreciated! I need to hand this off tomorrow.

Ha - Got out of the program, opened it again and everything is fine. Whew!

Bad quality in dissolves for DVD project

Hi, I've been having a lot of trouble with this particular project. It's a DVD project that I can't seem to get right as the dissolves are coming out terribly. The dissolves come out very slow, grainy and a little pixelated/distorted.
METHOD USED: I used to export straight from FCP (version 5.0.4) to Compressor (version 2.0.1), but I've been exporting using File/Export/Quicktime/Make Movie Self Contained/use Current Settings, then putting this file into compressor.
Firstly, are these the correct settings above to use to then import into Compressor?
Secondly, the settings I'm using in Compressor are - 16:9 PAL 90 min best VBR, two pass/bit rate was 6.2 - 7.5 and I didn't change any other settings in there. I choose dolby audio AC3. The project is 60 mins in length and I want to look as good as possible for the client.
(out of interest - when I'm doing a quick burn for a client review using File/Export/QT/movie NOT self contained/ then burn it using toast - it comes out fine - the dissolves are as they should be)
After Compressor I'm using DVDSP to build the project with chapters etc. I then use the Build then Burn to complete the master onto DVD. Are these steps the best to use?
The bad dissolves happen on both stills and video. On one particular section i knew had a bad dissolve from a previous burn, I put compression makers and it still looked really terrible.
I hope you can me help me with the right process needed on this. It's really stressful having problems with this on a regular basis.
Cheers

First, People did report problems with vbr encodes in compressor in earlier versions of compressor. not sure at what point this was fixed, but try doing a cbr encode and see if it's better. Do a short section to test rather than encode your whole project.
Second, you should be judging this on a dvd player and video monitor rather than on your computer screen unless of course your end user will be viewing on a computer.

Hi:
Did you try exporting directly from FCP timeline through Compressor? You can make a short test with some problematic parts of your ffotage to check if you get a better quality. FCP put compression markers in your sequence edits.
Second you can try changing the MPEG2 preset from VBR to CBR:
You'll get a bigger MPEG2 file but I guess it will fit in your disc.
Do some tests with these advices and come back. You don't need to encode your full movie for the test, use IN/OUT points to select just some seconds/minutes in the parts you do know you got problems.
Hope that helps !

Cutting a Big section from a finished project, I need to rant on this one!

Hi all...
On listening to a completed song and from others advise. The song is too long!
Mainly the 2nd verse is the part that could have been cut and should have but I got caught up in the story tell
So now Im looking some help on cutting entire sections out of projects. Is this easy or horrible task. I know a horrible one which is proving impossible:(
So, Rather than the unwanted 4 bars on the 2nd verse being there, should I deleted every track in within that section
Then drag the latter end of the song back up to that point. So that my bridge section kicks in now the point where Ive deleted the old unwanted section of the verse.
I wont even tell you the format I was thinking of taken! But then I wondered???
If I highlighted all 32 tracks from the point of the Bridge section, drag them up to where I wanna cut out that verse will it work ok?? Do I also have to delete the old section (un wanted verse part) or will the dragging of the new section over them over ride them on play back??
I know Im not great at communicating this but its a tedious un need job if I have to do it arse ways. Surely if highlight and drag a section, to and over and un wanted section it should fitin tightly and sound ok????
Thanks guys

Hi, Houston still hasn't arrived!
Ok so first of all I get everything about splitting at region 40 and 50, deleting that data then dragging the tracks back to fill the now empty space. But
I just cannot find "Split Region by play-head" Anyway where! According to the manual it should be under Region/Demix and its a drop of menu in there. Here's an online link showing that.
http://books.google.ie/books?id=TwUITg7oDdsC&pg=PA127&lpg=PA127&dq=howto+split+regions+in+logicexpress&source=bl&ots=cZlG-0AOjl&sig=0ob8zaamB2skLQOCVrUoAux0YNA&hl=en&ei=veVBTb fYNoWFhQfUlpy7AQ&sa=X&oi=book_result&ct=result&resnum=10&ved=0CGgQ6AEwCQ#v=onepa ge&q&f=false
Woah that link is big! But it shows where it should be and for me its not there???!!
There is no SPLIT option when I go into Region at all. Ive even tried searching in preferences, key command and I get nothing. Split Chanel is the only thing I see really.
I have tracks highlighted, I just dont understand why I cant find the split region option. Also Ive tried searching all over the key board for the ß key.
I dont know where Im going wrong.
PS: If I do figure this out, will Audio inst that I have on loop within that section also cut??
thanks again dude

Does WaveBurner save Audio files in a folder when saving project???

Does WaveBurner save Audio files in a folder when saving project??? If not Apple please add this in a update. WaveBurner needs to be reworked majorly!!! look at CD Architect!!!! It's what WaveBurner should be!!!!

Chapter 7 is Working with Projects. The section is Setting Project Properties>Handling Project Assets. Page 180. This shows you where to find File>Project Settings>Assets. It also has a link to Chapter 43 which has more detail about project settings.
When you first save a project, look at the bottom. A check box exists for "include assets." If checked, several options are made available.

DVD projects --saving them?

What is the difference between saving a file as a dvd project and saving it as a DVD ARCHIVE file?
thanks

To 'archive' a project I assume you mean put files away for storage. If you use DVD media material you will have 4.7 gigs to play with. It's the same thing as using a CD to store 800mb as storage devices. Same process too.
HOWEVER -- if you want to record a CD for playback in a CD player you'll need to do more than just copy 10 songs to a CD. You need software that will conform the CD to blue-book standards (or white... I forget) anyway - beyond anyone's basic need of understanding.
IF you want to create a DVD for playback in a DVD player (from here out called a DVD) you'll need to do something similar. First order of understanding is that a DVD is a HIGHLY compressed form of storage. Yes, it might LOOK good, but only because there are more lines of resolution. Actually a DVD has LESS information on it than a VHS tape!!
Anyway - you need a piece of software to compress the video and separate the audio into mpeg2 (video) and something else for the audio.
Lucky for you - iDVD does it all by itself, or you can use Compressor to control the amount of compression and then use DVDSP to create your own DVD.
Hope this helps.

Workflow for dual NTSC and PAL DVD project

Hello,
I am really in need of professional advice here, and any tips would be GREATLY appreciated. I am not an expert in Final Cut Studio, but I am OK to get things done on the project I am working on. Some things, despite cracking through multiple manuals, I can't properly figure out... THANKS AGAIN for any help!
I am working on a DVD project which I want to release in two versions: NTSC version in US, and PAL version for Poland — same content. Content was created using DV-NTSC Quicktime files, made on import from an American mini-DV SONY camcorder into Final Cut Pro. All the titles created in Photoshop were created in 720 x 540 and converted to 720 x 480 for the sequences.
I made one NTSC DVD using Studio Pro, and it seems to work okay, with some minor tweaks. But I really need to know what is the best way to make a PAL DVD with minimal quality loss. I need to set up this project correctly, because I have a **** of a lot of work to do, and I don't want to screw it up by incorrect setup.
So many questions... Should I use separate Final Cut sequence files, with different settings, for each disc? Should I finish my work in sequences with NTSC settings in Final Cut, and then use Compressor to export to PAL from within Final Cut? Really, what is the best workflow for something like this? I would dearly appreciate any advice.
Many thanks!
Rad

First off - you can do this. Finish your work in NTSC. Then go buy the Graeme Natress plug for FCP. http://www.nattress.com/standardsConversion.htm
Download and install the app. THen follow the instructions on his site. It's a short turorial movie and you're done.
Heads up - you'll need to first export NTSC Quicktime files of each of your movies.
Hope this helps.

Help desperately needed. DVD project won't complete burn...

Hi, firstly I am really not great at the whole computer thing so simple English and basic direction would be an enormous help!
I have a DVD project which totals over 7GB in memory so I am trying to burn a dual layer disc.
I initially got the "hardware error 37303" message. I looked online, it advised downloading Microsoft Fix and ASPI, I did so and this message is no longer appearing. However...
The project now gets to 273.81MB of the writing capacity and just stops, it's done this 5 or 6 times now. I have tried burning to 3 discs without sucess, I have tried burning an DVD image a DVD folder...still nothing, simply the message says "writing files. failed completed"
This is driving me absolutely crazy! I need this burned asap so your kind help would be hugely appreciated

Mylenium wrote:
Does the Check Project throw any warnings? Not even folders or images being created would point to something more serious. Also try a manual transcode and menu render before initializing the build. It may either resolve the issue or at least give a more meaningful error.
Mylenium
Thanks for that.
In response to your questions, there are no project errors and I have rendered the full project. The preview is also absolutely fine.
How do I manually transcode? When I bring down the file menu the transcode options are greyed out so I am unable to click on them.
The DVD has three menus, 12 separate video files, all accompanied by audio. The size of the complete project is around 7.5GB and on every attempt to burn it gets to the burn process, says it will take about 45 minutes, burns 273.81 MB then ejects the disc saying "completed failed" It's driving me absolutely nuts!!
I would really appreciate if you could suggest a solution as I need to have this project on DVD asap and need 6 copies...
Thanks for your response.

Audio Filter missing: Internal Volume Stereo - corrupt project?

Hi,
I am getting this error when I open my project. In addition, no media will play in the project either in the sequence window or the source window.
It all appears and will scrub (with no audio), but will not play.
I dug around a bit and I found that there is a known bug with audio from XML's and that is what I am using (convinced my client to migrate from FCP to Premiere - please don't tell me I made a mistake).
Everything worked brilliantly for a week, including the addition of audio filters, and then all of a sudden - bang. No more.
I have painstakingly deleted every audio filter and I am still getting this error. I have also tried a re-install.
Another oddity is that when I try to quit Premiere, it will not quit all the way without a force quit!
I'm running CC 2014 on a brand new mac pro.
Desperate,
dw

Steve and Bill,
I follow your advice, but it did not solve the problem. It is true that problems began when I used ZOOM recorder at 98kHz/24 bit in my current project (I already changed ZOOM mode to 48kHz/16 bit), but could this be just a coincidence?
In the meantime I checked the rest of my 16 projects (.prel), which were fine before. To my surprise I found that although all of them were made using EXACTLY the same method, some of them are still OK, but most I can not Playback. The messages appearing are of three types:
1. "Audio Filter missing: Internal Balance".
2. "Audio Filter missing: Internal Volume Stereo".
3. "This type of file is not supported or required codec is not installed".
In one case, when I opened a project the first time, the message was "This type of file is not supported or required codec is not installed", but when I opened it second time it said " Audio Filter missing:Internal Volume Stereo". It seems to be random.
Some projects can be opened, but when I try to Playback there is no sound.
I am completly lost. Please help.

Latest dvd project won't play in DVD players...

I have a iMac G5 and iDVD 4. I use FCP to edit. I have made many DVDs from files I make with exporting my sequences to quicktime. Then I import that export into iDVD, and this has always created DVDs that play in my computer and in DVD players.
For some reason, my latest project will only make DVDs that play on my computer using this method, not any of my 3 DVD players. I've checked to make sure I'm still set to NTSC, and I am. What could be causing this? Did I change a setting in FCP that I'm unaware of?
Any help would be greatly appreciated as I've wasted a good many blank DVDs from this glitch. Thank you!

Haha. I would love the luxury to just stop and not worry about it but unforunately I need to burn the DVD. I do not have another burner, I only have my internal one built into the iMac G5 I have.
Plus if you read through, you'd see that I have successfully burned older DVD projects just fine this week. It's just this latest project that won't burn.
If you have any suggestions related to what I might have changed or what might be different in FCP, that would be helpful. Unfortunately just stopped after 10 bucks worth is not an option.

Is there a way i can burn a dvd to my macbook, then edit sections of that dvd and re-burn those sections i edited to a new dvd?

Is there a way i can burn a dvd to my macbook, then edit sections of that dvd and re-burn those sections i edited to a new dvd?

A DVD is not editable but there is a work around. Create a disk image with your Disk Utility program and put your content on it. When you are finished, burn the DVD using the disk image as your master. Don't delete the image. When you are ready to make edits, edit the content on the disk image and use it to burn the next DVD.

Exporting audio and video together for Mpeg2 dvd

Hi, I'm trying to export audio and video together for Mpeg2 dvd.. I changed multiplexing to DVD but is still exporting seperately is there something im missing? thanksa

To add, with Multiplexing set to NONE, check what the Audio format is set to. If "PCM", this is an uncompressed .wav file and will result in export of .m2v video and .wav audio (I think Mac uses .aif) and use "Import as Timeline" in Encore for both clips at once. Encore will automatically transcode the audio to Dolby AC-3, do NOT mess with settings in Encore, defaults are correct. If you have CS6, then in AME audio settings, there is an option for Dolby and you can use that to create the .ac3 audio and then Encore does NOT do any transcoding to audio or video. Note that older versions will also show "Dolby" but that is a free trial of a surround encoder, not the same. You just want the stereo option available in CS6, or use PCM option is fine
Thanks

Page opens in a particular section of the document on CommandButton click

Hi all,
In my application the new url to go is decided at run time. This is done in the commandButton processAction(ActionEvent event) method. Now the problem is that the new page to be opened in a particular section of the current page .. say for example the new page should be rendered in the following div section-
<div id="div_result">
// area where the response to be rendered
</div>the above functionality is achieved using anchor tag and XMLHttpObject as below
<script language="JavaScript" type="text/javascript">
browserIsIE = (navigator.appName == 'Microsoft Internet Explorer') ? true: false;
var receiveReq = getXmlHttpRequestObject();
//Gets the browser specific XmlHttpRequest Object
function getXmlHttpRequestObject()
   if (browserIsIE)
     return new ActiveXObject("Microsoft.XMLHTTP"); //IE
     else
        return new XMLHttpRequest();
function openLink(page)
     if (receiveReq.readyState == 4 || receiveReq.readyState == 0) {
          receiveReq.open("GET", page, true);
          receiveReq.onreadystatechange = handleOpenLink;
          receiveReq.send(null);
function handleOpenLink()
   if (receiveReq.readyState == 4)
     document.getElementById('div_result').innerHTML=                    receiveReq.responseText;
          </script>In above document.getElementById('span_result').innerHTML=receiveReq.responseText; line renders the response in the div.
how can this be achieved using jsf tags/components?
any help will be highly appretiated...
thanks in advance ...

your problem is that you are trying to load on client side a part of the page while jsf was maded to work on server side with a back bean, use ajax instead, to work on client side.
Eg: You can use a rendered attibute, you can redisplay a panelgroup with a rendered attibute to a condition, can load a subview on the redisplay

Particular section is not being added in Object.

Hi All,
I have tried to add a particular section in a particular object in stagging environment but the same section I have added in production,it is being able to add in that.
Why does it happen so in production and why not in stagging.I have given the same setting in stagging also.Actually I am not able to find that section in My Setup.
Thanks,
Kunal.

Question: By Section do you mean "Related Information Section" or a Section on the Parent Object link (Contact Information, Address Information etc...)
If it's Related Information Section then then you could look at the below points
The reason this could happen is that someone may have logged in with that user id and personalized it, by going to "Edit Layout" on that Object's Detail Page. There will be 3 links below the Web Tabs. Click the "Edit Layout".
Let me know
