AVCHD Reversal Effect Problem

I have a Sony HDR-SR8E camera that produces AVCHD 1080i anamorphic 1440x1080 files. I recorded a scene over 2 hours and uploaded to the PC and imported to Premiere Pro. The camera supports maximum file size of 2Gb while Vista 64-bit can handle much larger than that, as a result I brought it in as several clips each close to 2Gb, I put them on the project timeline in reverse order, then for each clip I right-clicked and selected effect speed/duration and clicked reverse. I then ran a pre-render visualisation that took most of a day, I then rendered via Media Encoder export, this took 24 hours. Media Encoder said this was successful but it was not. The mp4 file was size zero bytes and there were two files with numeric names one of which was an AACS file and the other of which was a m4v file not able to be played. So I get the idea Premiere Pro can not reverse that amount of AVCHD in 1 pass.
I solved this by using 1 project per clip and effectively rendering each reversal seperately, then I pulled the reversals back into a project put them all on the timeline in reverse order and rendered the whole lot out to give 1 file of almost 15Gb. This file wouldnot run in Apple Quicktime which I take it is due to size of the file but when pulled into Premier Pro as a clip in a project it does play, so this whole process worked.
I say this for anyone else contemplating reversing AVCHD video in Premiere Pro. Why it should take so long beats the hell outta me.

50i is a stupid nomenclature. It means your video is 50 fields, 25 frames per second. FCP rightly uses the nomenclature 25i or 25p to indicate media that's 25fps either interlaced or progressive. Your media is 25i.

Audio Problems with Fast/Slow/Reverse Effect in iMovie HD

I have been having problems with the Fast/Slow/Reverse effect in iMovie HD with my movie clips. Whenever I apply the effect (reversing at the same playback speed, not sped up or slowed down), when it is finished rendering the audio is choppy, yet on time (but still backwards, as wanted). Before applying the effect, the preview of it works flawlessly, it is only when it is applied that the audio gets choppy. Extracting the audio will not help either because the video will still be playing backwards while the audio will be playing normally (since it can't be reversed on its own). I have tried other effects on the same clips that don't effect the audio and they work perfectly. Any suggestions? I'd really appreciate your help! Thanks.
Macintosh Powerbook G4 Mac OS X (10.4.6) iLife '05 : iMovie HD

Have you got an isolated hard drive with ALL of the required applications and other resources together with the operating system ? Using an external HD to SAVE a running iMovie project is asking for problems. Back up the Project on another HD sure, but don't use System on one HD, running files on another.
Hope Helps,

[svn:fx-trunk] 10229: Fixes for some transform effects problems.

Revision: 10229
Author:   [email protected]
Date:     2009-09-14 08:43:43 -0700 (Mon, 14 Sep 2009)
Log Message:
Fixes for some transform effects problems.
- We were not animating the postLayout properties in some cases where we should have, effectively pinning the object in place. We now animate those properties whenever applyChangesPostLayout is true.
- A copy/paste error meant that we did not animate the scaleZ property in cases where we should have.
- A problem in the transform code means that using a null transform center is not the same as a transform center which uses the transformX/Y/Z properties of the target object. We now force the creation/use of a transform center in all cases to avoid that problem.
QE notes: This breaks about a dozen tests in the transform effects area, but I believe the new results are correct and the tests/bitmaps should be changed.

Unable to apply reverse effect

For some reason, I am unable to apply the reverse effect to a clip. It will preview, but the apply button will not engage. Any advice?

I completed steps 1-3 above and still the apply button will not engage. I can still preview (and it looks good), but it won't apply. Any other suggestions?
is your project located on some external harddrive?
=> needs to be formatted correctly
is your project 'DV' or 'mpeg4/iSight'?
=> some effects don't apply to non-DV projects ..

CSS one-armed-config and SMTP reverse lookup problems?

I was wondering if there would be potential reverse lookup problems from other company's when we try to send mail to their mail Domains.
If I configure failover for our mail server, I am thinking if we are sending mail, there could be a reverse-lookup issue, because our mail server would be configured with public IP Addresses other than what the MX record points to in DNS.
If we originate mail from our inside users, it will originate from the service IP address and not the VIP address.
Is this a valid concern?

The main advantage of this configuration is that the web servers will receive the IP address of the client that made the request. This is often required by web servers' administrators for accounting purposes.
In a one-armed configuration only, the network port ( Enet0) is used on the SCA. Only this specific port can be used for this setup. Encrypted and decrypted traffic will go through the same link

How can give reverse effect of mask in image's bitmap ?

Hello ,
I want to mask reverse in image bitmap.
I find below post for mask reverse in spark group using graphics rectangle.

Is there any way to mask some porsion in image ?
i also want that when we are masking in image then only masking object's part is visible can we do reverse effect i mean other portion of the image is visble and only mask object portin is invisible.
Thanks in advanced if anybody have idea about this.
Hello friends, anyone have idea about this ?

That question is far too broad. It's like asking 'How big is big?' It depends on what you're talking about. Or in this case, what you consider a 'nice effect'.
Surf the internet. Find some photos that have a look you like -- something similar to what you would want to do with your photos. Then you can at post one or two of those samples here and give us some idea of what you want to do.

Reverse effect possible in FCE2?

This may be a dumb question, but i haven't figured out if I can do a reverse effect with my videos in FCE2. This is where the video looks like it's backing up, or rewinding, and usually in faster motion.
Can anyone tell me if this can be done and if so, how?
Thanks much!!!
Karen

Thanks so much! i had a feeling it might be easy... lol! Appreciate the help!

Adobe After Effects problem

Hi
I have a problem with After effects cs4 in windows 7 64-bit , I just installed everyting on a new computer core i7 860 , seagate 1TB etc ,
graphic-card nivida asus engtx275. When I import film-material and move the timeslider the viewport seems very unstable
like some kind of vsync problem. When i render the material it looks fine? It seems like some video driver problem , but I am not sure.
Anyone else with similar issue? Everyting else is working fine, so this issue is very annoying.

Have you tried the usual of turning off OpenGL/ removing the OpenGL plug-in? Also check other things like your visual theme and screen resolution. though I doubt it, it may still be possible that you are causing a misconfiguration that exhausts your hardware acceleration resources. As a last thing, if you work with compressed sources (AVCHD etc.), it would be important to configure the Media Cache correctly and from time to time manually flush it. AE does not take care of the latetr and the cache is persistent, yet "bad" conform files have been known to cause the weirdest problems. In addition, be aware that AE simply doesn't handle some flavors of AVCHD and sikmilar formats correctly. in that case, no matter what you try, it will always be messy (until the next patch or CS5, that is).

Premiere Pro Export of AVCHD 'Shaky' Effect

Hi!
I'm working in premiere pro natively with AVCHD footage. I haven't had any problems editing in premiere, everything looks great, but when I export the sequence I get this strange 'shaky' effect specifically on my effects such as dissolves or text or adding movement to a photo. I made sure 'Frame Blend' is unchecked, I tried clicking 'always deinterlace' and 'flicker removal' but those didn't help either. Does anyone else have any ideas?

Sorry to hijack the thread, as I am in a similar boat. I am working on an ongoing project. I have cut a concert, then created a trailer all done in PP3. I brought in the song files from the concert(quicktime 960x720 raylight encoded) created clips that I wanted to use for the trailer and added some overlay titles. I need to export H.264 and used a custom setup that I have used many times already. When I go to export it gets 3 frames from the end and says "unknown error" I have been reading through the forum and many posts state there may be a corrupt clip. I went through and removed 1 clip at a time from the sequence and exported, every time it will stop. I disabled the text overlays with the same result. I disabled the audio track with the same result. I exported the movie to an uncompressed AVI and started a new project(DVCProHD 720P24) with that and the audio file created in Audition. Tried exporting to H.264 with the same failed results. As I said before I have used H.264 with no issues many times before.
Additional history with this is, earlier this week I encountered the problem of the Media encoder not showing up. I followed the instrucions for the fix and that is working correctly now. I also saw notices of people having issues with various versions of quicktime, specifically v7.4 and higher, I am running V7.6(472)quicktime pro. I was going to revert to 7.3 but on the uninstall it stated that I will loose the pro capabilities(can I just put the serial number back in?), so I did not revert. All other export functions work correctly.

Adobe After Effects Problems

I edited a sequence in Adobe Premiere Pro CS5.5 with no problems. After I exported it, I checked the movie in Windows media player to make sure everything was okay. In Windows Media Player, the movie played well with audio and video. After that, I imported it into Adobe After Effects. The Movie is 1280x720 60fps. However, after I did a RAM preview of the clip, there was still no audio. I doubled checked the clip outside of After Effects and it played with audio just fine. Is there something wrong with the way I originally exported it or is it a software error? Also, when I imported the movie into After Effects, it played in Slow-motion after RAM preview instead of playing in regular motion. Can someone please help? Thanks.

I think that you're clicking the wrong button and not, in fact, using RAM preview. The Play button in the Preview panel does not start a RAM preview.
See this page for how to do a RAM preview. Pay special attention to the icons that illustrate what buttons to click.

Adobe Premiere Elements 11 Effects Problem - HELP

I use Adobe Premiere Elements 11, and when I use effects the footage ends up speeding up, repeating itself, and just not staying the same as it originally was. Does this have to do with what type of footage it is. I am using screen-captures that I got when using Bandicam. If anyone could help me with this problem, it would be greatly appriciated, thanks.

Gamerwalk,
One option would be to convert your odd AVI-MPEG file to DV-AVI, which is what PrE loves most. This FAQ Entry will give you some tips on doing that: http://forums.adobe.com/thread/415317?tstart=0
I use an older file conversion program, DigitalMedia Converter 2.7, but it is NOT freeware. Also, Deskshare, the publisher, has released newer versions.
Good luck,

Not able to see executions in operator - Reverse engineer problem

Hi All,
I´m starting a new project, this is the situation. I've created the agent (physical and logical), it's running as a service (OPMN instance). When I execute the test, "Agent test Successfull". So I guess that is not the problem.
I'm creating a new model, I've already created the Data server (SQL server), connection test is Ok, I've also created the physical and Logical Schema. The problem is after creating a new model, when I select reverse engineer option, everything looks like that data is being correctly retrieve, however data do not appear in the model. When I go to the operator to check the log, nothing is there. Any idea?
Thanks in advance,
Gonzalo.-

Do you mean to to say that uou are not finding any infor about the reverse engineering process in Operator ?
If yes then please note Standard reverse engineering does not list down the operation performed in Operator.
If you are using some RKM then only it will display the steps performed in Operator

InDesign Transparency Effects - Problems with Image Quality and File Size

Hello,
We are experiencing new problems exporting InDesign files to PDF.
To summarize, though our largest workflow is to create files for offset printing, we also deliver our work to PDF for mounting on a website so our clients can download directly from the web. Our new problem is Transparency Effects, and creating a PDF that will both have a high quality (or resolution), and be a small file size.
We are working with multiple page documents (24 to 48 pages), and would very much like to work with InDesign Transparency Effects. However, after spending much time testing a variety of PDF types, we are finding there is a radical difference between quality and file size. I was curious if anyone has had these problems, and if there is a simple answer. InDesign is an incredible program that allows us to design on the fly with Transparency Effects, but, if we are going to experience these problems, we will have to eliminate these wonderful tools.
Can you help me or lead me to information online that will help.
Thank you,
Lain

Please don't post in multiple forums. Your question has nothing to do with the PDF language and specifications, but rather PDF workflow or InDesign. I've responded to your other posting and am closing this thread.
