Backwards compatibility of .mov files, not project files

If i have the latest FCP 6.0.4 and QT installed, and captured HDV media as standard 1080i 60i HDV Basic setup, and were then to give my capture scratch folder of .mov files to a friend, could he import them as clips into the latest version of iMovie and edit no problem? i tried myself and had problems and need to make sure... my question relates to wanting to understand if QT captured files have a compatibility relationship that keeps others from being able to view them (other than having the same QT version). any insights?
thanks,
Chris.

NO. Because iMovie captures HDV as the Apple Intermediate Codec, AIC. The footage you captured in FCP with the native HDV codec won't even open on a machine without FCP installed...the codec is tied to FCP.
If the person will be using iMovie, then capture using iMovie. Always capture in the application you intend to edit the footage with.

Backwards Compatibility mapper module was not able to start

Hi ,
We have an issue with our SCOM 2012 agents not getting discovered because the Backwards Compatibility mapper module was not able to start.
I checked few blogs and could see the remediation for SCOM 2007 SP1.

These are in the DMZ zone and are manually installed. i have bounced the health service folder as remediation but still looks the same.
For test i have set the mssing NetBios name for the server and restarted the service. Still the server is not getting discovered and shows the below error.

Hi Jesty,
Based on the Article it seems to be for SCOM 2007 SP1.
And as you mentioned you are using SCOM 2007 R2. I see that Microsoft has fixed this issue about the article you have mentioned above.
Below is the article from MS for that.
951380 Some
computer properties for a cluster node may not be collected by the discovery process in System Center Operations Manager 2007 Service Pack 1
Check the below link where MS has mentioned it has fixed this issue in SCOM 2007 R2.

you to install this Hotfix

Backwards compatibility of .psd files with spot channels

Over the years Adobe Photoshop has done a really excellent job of keeping image files backwards compatible. Unfortunately it is still possible to save files may not be opened by previous versions of the software. This happens when a spot color is specified in a color book that is not available in earlier versions of the software (for example the "Pantone+ Solid Coated" book that appears to be the new default).
Photoshop CS6 seems to be able to open files that contain spot colors from unavailable color books.
Photoshop CS4, CS5, and CS5.1 all give the error message:
"Could not complete your request because the specified color book cannot be found."
when trying to read a file with a Pantone+ spot color.
I know that there is probably nothing that CS6 can do to fix this situation, but it would be great if there were an update for the older software that turned this error message into a warning.

Yeah, that used to be a problem, and it's not the file format but the color book resolution code that is broken.
No, there's not much we can do since it affects every previous version of Photoshop.

Backward compatibility on .SES files any advice?

Using Audition.CC now and can't use my old .ses session at all. I've seen independent freeware recommended and have tried this to no avail. Surely there must be an official fix from Adobe for this. After all if you use the most advanced MS Office you can still open old file types.
Any advice would be greatly appreciated

You will almost certainly need some help from the vendor of the software (Suite Spot, assuming that it's Ses2Sesx), and I'm sure he'll be along shortly. Incidentally, it's donationware, not freeware...

Backward compatibility of CS6 files

I have Photoshop CS5 for Windows (version 12.1 x32), and I'm trying to open a CS6 file that was sent to me. When I do, none of the text layers are editable. Is this expected? Is there any way to fix it?

Actually, I think there's a bug in Photoshop CS6 that causes corrupt PSD files to be written. I don't think the text layers would be editable in Photoshop CS6 either, unfortunately.

You may have to recreate the layers you want to edit.

Transient addition breaks backward compatibility

Hi folks. I have the following problem. I made some changes to a class and I have serialised objects created before the changes. I hoped that the changes I made would still be backwards compatable and that I would still be able to deserialise legacy objects.
I made the following changes...
added
private transient int _hashcode = 0;and
private void readObject(ObjectInputStream ois) throws ClassNotFoundException, IOException {
         ois.defaultReadObject();
         _hashcode = calcHashCode();
}The changes were motivated by some profiling using JIP which indicated that the hashCode method of my class was being called very repetitively outside of my control, and instead I decided to cache the hashcode instead of recalculating it.
Unfortunately however, now I get a java.io.StreamCorruptedException when I try to deserialise a Hashtable containing old objects of this class. Now, I know I can hack a fix into the code; however, I would love if someone could point out my stupidity and tell me why the class is no longer backwards compatable. Is the transient element an issue, or am I doing something stupid with the readObject method? The calcHashCode() method simply reinitialises the _hashcode field by calculating it's values from other fields.
Thanks.
B.T.W. I use
public static final long serialVersionUID = 1l;

I don't suppose anyone is waiting with baited breath on this one, but I finally got back to the problem today and realised that my equals method which I also changed was the problem.
I wanted to speed up the equals method by ONLY checking that the hashcodes (which I cached) were equal and was being naive assuming the hashcodes would be unique for the input string. However, had a look at the birthday problem and figured that after hashing ~77,163 entries over the 2^32 Integer range that you are 50% likely to get a hash collision. Didn't realise the number was so small.
Now I initially check the hashcodes in the equals methods and if they are the same, then I check the data. This should at least speed up common non-equals comparisons. Apparently there was a collision in the hashtable I had previously serialised, so the integrity of the serialised hashtable must've been screwed with; hence the exception. When there is a collision in the hashtable, it reverts to the equals method.
Things I learnt:
#1 - Hash collisions are more likely than I thought
#2 - Keep to the equals, hashCode and compareTo regulations
#3 - Changing such methods can screw with backwards compatability of serilialised objects, not only adding removing fields
New equals:
public boolean equals(Object o) {
         if (o==this)
              return true;
         else if (o instanceof Blah){
              Blah b = (Blah)o;
          return b._hashcode==_hashcode
               && (b._data==_data || b._data.equals(_data));
         else return false;
}

I am having problems using mov files imported into a project. I get the message "Not rendered" in the Canvas and clip won't play. Can anyone help?

When clips won't play without rendering in the Timeline, it usually means that the clip's specs don't match the Sequence settings.
A .mov file could be made from any number of codecs; the QuickTime Movie designation is merely a container for video files of all kinds. Since FCE only works with the QuickTime DV codec and the Apple Intermediate Codec (AIC) natively, if your mov files aren't one of those two, you need to convert them PRIOR to importing into your FCE project.

MacBook Pro with SSD that has a limited disk space (120GB). Rendering in Project File (User/Movies/Final Cut Projects), it takes huge space and the limited disk space would not be enough for the whole editing.

I'm using MacBook Pro with 128GB SSD that has a limited disk space. As we know, when rendering in Project File (User/Movies/Final Cut Projects), it takes huge space and the limited disk space would not be enough for the whole editing.
My question is, Is there any method to get the rendering Projects file saved into an external hard drive which is connected with USB/ Thunderbolt/ Firewire, with huge disk space (eg. 500GB HDD).
Now, new project created in my Mac is automatically saved in (User/Movies/Final Cut Projects) and my Mac has ran out of space to hold the files.
Thank you.

You have at least 3 different ways to show the project library:
1) Go to WIndow->Show Project Library
2) Click the button in bottom left of your window:
3) Hit the keyboard shortcut (Command-0)
The project library will be shown, occupying the area where the timeline usually is.
Your hard disks will be visible. Click the hard disk where you want the new project to reside and hit Cmd-N to create a new project.

How can I link 1 movie file with several logic projects?

Hi all,
I've been working on the music for a film with a colleague of mine and are sharing logic files via dropbox. 72 cues had to be altered for logisitical reason to work in someone else's studio for the final mix. Since I had a copy of the movie on my machine and my colleague had a copy on his we thought that if we put our movie into the root directory of our logic project's folder then the movie would automatically load up with the projects after we shared them via dropbox. We checked to make sure that both movies had the same filename. Unfortunately this did not work and we had to then reassociate 72 cues individually with each logic project. With such limited time to prepare the cues for the final mix this really took too much time.
Is there any way in logic (9.1.8) to associate 1 movie file with a number of logic projects quickly, without having to open up the project and select open movie?
kind regards
/mischa

Seems to me that if you both had the movie file in the same location on both of your drives (eg on Macintosh HD at root level, in no other folder) then all the project files would search for this common path and find the file.
The problem arises when there is even a small difference between path names.
Unfortunately, this won't help you at this point as all the project files already are associated with unique file paths for the movie. By now, you've probably already done it one by one - but maybe for next time....?
There's no bulk or quick way to do this.

How do I export a .mov file with timecode that matches the timecode on my project's timeline?

Hi:
This seems like it would be an easy thing to figure out, but I'm striking out so far:
I have a long, 10-minute source video (actually a series of 16mm film clips that were telecined to a single 10-bit uncompressed .mov with continuous timecode by a film lab) on my project's timeline. I need to be able to export small sections of the timeline to individual .mov files--and I need to be able to open the resulting short .mov files in a footage logging application called F5. I'm currently trying to render these small individual videos as H.264 .mov files, since that's a format F5 can read. Rendering/exporting the 'work area' selection from my project works fine, so that's no problem.
The problem I'm having is that timecode of the resulting H.264 .mov files don't match the timecode on my Premiere project's timeline--they always start at 00:00:00:00. I don't want that. If I render out (for example) a section of 00:05:10:00 to 00:07:00:00 on my project's timeline, I need the exported .mov file's timecode to start at 00:05:10:00 and run to 00:07:00:00, not restart at 00:00:00:00. Is this possible?
I'm running Premiere Pro CS6.0.2 on a Mac OSX 10.8.2, all updates installed.
Thanks very much.

works using " title" ( cause its alpha ) but doesnt work using black video...gotta jump thru hoops to do it that way..is nuts...so title works fast
so you put cti where you want to start, put title up there above your video, put timecode in, make it " generate" , put start time in, and drag title to the end of your work bar for export...and it should be good...
or of course ann's way is good too

Panasonic .MOV files only play audio no video in Premiere Elements 11??? Not Working Help

Panasonic .MOV files only play audio no video in Premiere Elements 11??? Not Working Help

It all depends on the codec the file uses, Karli.
What model of camcorder is this video coming from?
Are you working on a Mac or a PC? Have you got the latest version of Quicktime, per the program requirements? When you started your project, did you select the settings for a DSLR at 720p? This is a vital step since it will activate the components your computer will need to work with many of these types of files.
BY THE WAY, KARLI--
PLEASE do not post the same question more than once on this forum! You've already got a thread going with this same question and several responses posted. It's very confusing when you post the same question a second time and start a whole new discussion.

"The movie could not be sent to QT, because a file couldn't be found"

When I try to export a 2 1/2 min. iMovie video I made today in pretty much any format, I get the following:
"The movie could not be sent to QuickTime, because a file couldn't be found.
Please make sure that your project disk has write permission, and that you ahve enough disk space. This error can also be caused by some third-party iMovie HD plugins" then tells me what to do if I have said plug-ins. I have no plugins for iMovie.
The flash drive I'm attempting to save to has almost 80mb of available space. Also, something /does/ get saved on my drive, but the (Windows) computer I try to transfer it to won't recognize it and my MacBook's QuickTime refuses to play it.
What is going on?

Welcome to iMovie Discussions.
iMovie - and other Mac programs - prefer (..or need!..) to have any discs, or other devices on which you're saving movie files, to be formatted as 'Mac OS Extended'.
That's different from the (generally) FAT32 format which Windows PCs use. And although Macs can read Windows-formatted discs - so your MacBook can read what's on your Windows-formatted flash disc - Windows machines generally cannot read Mac-formatted discs, so, er, you'd have a problem or two if you want to use any Mac-formatted device with a Windows machine!
Your flash drive - and anything else on which you've saved your 2.5 minute iMovie video - would need to be formatted as 'Mac OS Extended' if you want to use it for iMovie editing ..but you should be able to store a 'self-contained' QuickTime movie on it perfectly well in its PC-formatted state, and that movie should play in Windows when you plug it into a Windows machine if you have the latest Windows version of QuickTime on the Windows PC.
So maybe you exported your iMovie to QuickTime, onto the flash disc, but not as a self-contained movie. If it IS self-contained, then the complete movie would be there, and it's pretty much guaranteed to play. But if you didn't tick the 'self-contained' check-box, then all that gets saved is a very small file (called a "reference file") with a set of "pointers" to what's in the original iMovie project. In other words, you've saved only the details of how to play the movie, without actually saving the actual video file(s), which remain on your MacBook, instead of being on the flash disc.

FCP will not open due to a movie file

Hey Everyone,
FCP stopped opening. When I try to open the application it loads for a moment, then a box appears with the words
'The movie file "Outside Workouts.mov" cannot be found. Without this file, the movie cannot play properly'.
I searched for the file and could not find it. It's possible that I may have accidently trashed the file. However, I still do not understand why this file is preventing FCP from opening-up. At the same time, this file is preventing me from opening other FCP projects that have nothing to do with it. Any advice on how to fix this problem and open FCP would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks,
Isaiah

It's likely that FCP is set to "Open last project on launch". You need to clear that from the FCP preferences file.
Deleting FCP Preferences:
Open a Finder window. Set the view mode to columns:
Click the house icon that has your name next to it.
Click the folder "Library" in the next column.
Find and click the folder "Preferences" in the next column.
Find and click the folder "Final Cut Pro User Data" in the next column.
Move the files "Final Cut Pro 6.0 Prefs", "Final Cut Pro Obj Cache" and "Final Cut Pro Prof Cache" to the Trash and empty it.
When you have a stable set of preference files, download [Preference Manager|http://www.digitalrebellion.com/pref_man.htm] to back them up.

Mov file will not open on Premiere CS6 for Windows
