Basic Current Timecode Field question

I tried to figure this out for quite a while, as it seems so simple and basic. But I am still confused!
I am working on some teaching clips from a text. In the Viewer, the duration of a clip (I&O not set) is 00:00:06;14
In the Viewer, the Current Timecode Field (upper left field) is 1:00:32;01.
Is the Current Timecode the original timecode from the tape? And if so, why would one want that info? Two clips from different tapes could have an identical timecode?
Thanks,
Sonny Taylor

Yes, that is the original source timecode, which can be very beneficial in a multitude of ways.
Tapes can and do have identical timecode...the key to that is giving them 'REEL' names when capturing. That is what FCP uses to designate a source.

Current Date Field question

Hello
I'm a novice user of LiveCycle and I'm trying to see if there's a solution for this issue we've come across.
We've used LiveCycle to redesign human resource/payroll forms in our organization. One of the items we use is the current date field, which automatically populates to today's date once opened. When users complete forms, we encourage them to save an electronic copy of the form to their own drive in case they need to retrieve it at a later date. The problem here is that the current date field will not stay static once filled out and saved.
For example, if a dept completes a form on 12/1/10, saves it, but then needs to retrieve it later for some reason, we need the current date field to stay as the date the form was originally filled out (12/1/10). If they retrieve the form later on say 2/15/10, that particular date field will read the new date. Is this possible?
Thanks for any help!

Test if the field is null before assigning the current date.
// form1.page1.currentDate::ready:layout - (FormCalc, client)
if (this.isNull) then
$.rawValue = Concat(Num2Date(Date(), "MM/DD/YYYY"))
endif

Embedding a "Current Date" field in a pdf document

To assure people work to the latest authorized version of a procedure, we let them access a protected pdf version on our Intranet. They can print a copy for use, but the copy is valid ONLY for the date printed, which is shown in the footer of each page. The "current date" field is updated when the document is opened by way of a Java script that reads:
var f = this.getField("Today");
f.value = util.printd("mm/dd/yyyy", new Date());
(Obviously, "Today" is the field's name.)
If a person were to open the same document three days later, that later date would be embedded.
All this worked well when we were using Acrobat 5 and Reader 5. Now, to keep up with the times, we've upgraded to Acrobat 8 and Reader 8 on many PCs. However, the "current date" field still works for those still using Reader 5 but doesn't work for those using Reader 8.
What I'm wondering is whether the scripting has changed for Acrobat 8. I can't find anything in the Acrobat support documents for Java scripting, but I may not know what I'm looking at.
Thanks,

The problem has been solved!!!
The form field, the accompanying script, and most documents' security were set up in Adobe 4.0. However, in Adobe Reader 7 or higher, "no changes" means "no changes," so the form field script was blocked.
By setting Compatibility to "Acrobat 7.0 or greater," I could choose the "Change Allowed" option: Filling in form fields and signing existing signature fields.
Then, all I needed to do was to confirm that the JavaScript "Today" was still applied, and the current date was immediately filled in.
Thanks for the questions and suggestions.

"Current assignment" field missing in Handling Unit status tab

Our scenario is as below:
1. STO created and outbound deliveries generated
2. Deliveries are assigned to shipment
3. Packing is done using RF transaction
In the normal scenario, the HU status tab would show the outbound delivery number in the current assignment tab. But for some Handling Units, the current assignment field shows blank. Also, the contents tab shows only the delivery line item number and not the delivery number. We have also noticed that the problem delivery line items have been packed in 2 different Handling Units, each containing the full delivery line item quantity. (not sure how this is possible). One of the HU is displayed correctly but the other one has the missing delivery number issue.
Has anyone encountered such a scenario? How is the system allowing to pack the same delivery item quantity in 2 different Handling Units? Any suggestions in this regard would be very helpful.

Hi,
Thank you very much...
i have another doubt.....
i am unable to understand determination of packing instructions.
where it is linking i am confused.
we are assigning the determination procedure in the T.code
OVHU2.(Maintain Packing Transaction Profile in IMG).
my doubt is where we are assigning this Transaction Profile in Handling Units.
Please help me....

Adding a year to the current date field

Hello,
Can any one please help on how to add a year to the current date field.
e.g 7/19/2011 plus a year = 7/19/2012
Thanks,
Han Dao

If you had a field DateTimeField1 and wanted to display the following year in DateTimeField2, you could do the following in JavaScript;
var d1 = util.scand("yyyy-mm-dd", DateTimeField1.rawValue);
if (d1 !== null)
d1.setFullYear(d1.getFullYear()+1);
DateTimeField2.rawValue = util.printd("yyyy-mm-dd", d1);
Good luck

HT4589 should I install each update in successive order? Or will installing the 10.7 update automatically install every previous update? I have FCPX 10.0.0 currently. Dumb question?

should I install each update in successive order? Or will installing the 10.7 update automatically install every previous update? I have FCPX 10.0.0 currently. Dumb question?

Installing 10.0.7 negates the need to install previous updates. Just install it (it will upgrade your projects to a newer format as well, from memory).
Thankfully, the days of doing it the way you were thinking are well behind us.

Suggestions to find the current active fields in debugging mode

Hi All,
I need to validate a particular entry in the screen in a particular subroutine(inside a user exit). I know the field gets populated but do not know which field is that, is there a way to know the current active fields in the debugging mode.

Hi,
You can create dynamic types and data for those types are run time.
lets assume that you have structure of some type and you have work area of that type.
DATA: lv_data type SPFLI.
DATA: lr_rtti_struc TYPE REF TO cl_abap_structdescr.
DATA: lt_comp       TYPE cl_abap_structdescr=>component_table.
DATA: ls_comp       LIKE LINE OF lt_comp.
DATA: lr_data       TYPE REF TO data.
FIELD-SYMBOLS: <fs_data> TYPE ANY.
    lr_rtti_struc ?= cl_abap_structdescr=>describe_by_data( lv_data ).
    lt_comp = lr_rtti_struc->get_components( ).
"Now lets remove two fileds from the table as follows.
LOOP AT lt_comp into ls_comp.
DELETE lt_comp INDEX sy-tabix.
IF sy-tabix = 2.
EXIT. " Delete two components of the structure now lt_comp as two components less from SPFLI
ENDIF.
ENDLOOP.
    CALL METHOD cl_abap_structdescr=>create
      EXPORTING
        p_components = lt_comp
        p_strict     = abap_false
      RECEIVING
        p_result     = lr_rtti_struc.
CREATE DATA lr_data TYPE HANDLE lr_rtti_struc. "Now you have data of the new type
    ASSIGN lr_data->* TO <fs_data>.
    CREATE DATA lr_table LIKE STANDARD TABLE OF <fs_data>.
    ASSIGN lr_table->* TO <fs_table>.

Can a user override the Current Date field?

I have a simple form with a Current Date field. Today's date is automatically populated in this field, but I would like to give users the option to enter a different date in the field. There is a value called "Calculated - User Can Override" but this doesn't appear to work.

When I first set up this field I used code I found on this forum that went in the 'layout:ready' area. I've now removed it and used the code I found in your file in 'calculate'. The date field is now functioning properly.
Thank you.

Changeable Current Date field

I need the "Current Date" field enabled to be changed by the user. Any help will be appreciated.
I thought the "Calculated - User can Override" would work but no such luck! (I am using the Custom - Current Date field)
Thanks

Hi,
The custom current date has the script in the layout:ready event. This fires everytime the user exits an object that has been changed.
So what is happening is that the user can access the date field and change the value, however when they exit the field, the layout:ready event fires and the user-entered data is overwritten by the current date.
You could move the script from the layout:ready event to the docReady event. This is a good event because it only fires once, when the form is opened/rendered.
You will probably need to wrap the script in an if statement, so that when the form is reopened, it does not overwrite the date. The following FormCalc should work:
// Current Date in short-style date format.
if (HasValue($) eq "false") then
$.rawValue = num2date(date(), "DD.MM.YYYY")
endif
There is an example here: https://acrobat.com/#d=QR1y1RYatwSaQAWa4-jLlA
You can see events and how they fire here: http://assure.ly/gW3RNr
Hope that helps,
Niall

A filter cannot be applied to the currently selected field. Select a different field

Hi,
I am using an InfoPath form to submit the data. In my form I am using one dropdown and one textbox in a repeating table, and the data is fetching from the SharePoint list.
Scenario: In my SharePoint list there is a column of Company name and other is of Focal Point name. In dropdown contains the company name column.
I want the functionality that when i select the Company name the associated focal point name should appear in the textbox.
To achieve this I am using the filter for dropdown but it is showing me error "A filter cannot be applied to the currently selected field. Select a different field."
Can anyone please tell me how can I do this.
Thanks in Advanced,

Hi,
Please update me any solution for this as I am not able to resolve this.....

Transporter - Basic installation and connection questions

We have never used or installed the Transporter before. We are currently using Tidal 5.3x and are upgrading a sandbox environment to 6.2. I have looked at all the transporter documentation I can find and am still missing some very basic questions - plus I cannot get the "help" option in transporter to work.
WHERE do you install the Transporter and why? CM Server? Master Server? Desktop? If it is on a server, then does the user that runs it need to remote the server in order to user transporter?
I have attempted to install on each of the above, but cannot establish a connection. When I click "test" I get error "Failed to Connect [Login failure with responseCode [404]]What should I be entering in each of the following Connections fields? My comments indicate what I have assumed/attempted to enter and received the error above.
Connection name - just a given name to a connection? aka TESSandboxMaster
Server Name - what server? master? Is there a specific format this needs to be in?
DSP/Plug in name - I found a dsp file on my CM Server named TES-6.0.dsp - should I put TES-6.0 here?
User - network user that is a Super user in Tidal? aka networkname\superuser?
pwd - windows pwd for that user?
Thank you for any help you can provide.

Hi Patricia,
1. The Transporter is installed on the Client Manager - the CM is essentially a web server to handle client requests, perform sacmd commands, and utility for transporting jobs from one environment to another. A Tidal user would have to be granted rights to Move Jobs to Production, and I believe Tidal user has to be able to sign on to the CM as well.
2. I've reviewed an older copy of the transporter user guide 6.1 provides instructions on how to complete those fields:
To create a connection: (on page 32)
In the Connection Name field, enter the name for the connection file.
In the Server Name field, enter the name of the Client Manager machine.
In the DSP/Plugin Name field, enter the master instance name.
The master instance name is the TES DSP or Plugin name. This is displayed from the Web UI in the Master Status pane.
In the Server Port field, enter the listening Web Service port used by the Tidal Web Client. The default is 8080 for non-secured connections and 8443 for secured connections.
In the User and Password fields, enter a valid Enterprise Scheduler user name and password.
Select the Secure HTTP option if you want to connect securely through the HTTPS protocol.
This option is enabled only if Transporter has been configured for secure
connections. Figure 8 is an example of Transporter not configured for secure
connections.

Basic FCP Sequence Settings question for 1080 footage w/ 7D

OK. So maybe it's the fact I've been working for 18 hours straight and my mind is partially play-dough, but I'm thoroughly confused right now by what I think may be the dumbest question ever.
Anyway... here's my problem and my workflow.
PROBLEM:
Stupid black box above and below my 1080 footage after I export to QT out of FCP (this box never existed in my 720 footage)
WORKFLOW:
- I have 1080/30p footage from a Canon 7D and Rebel T2i
- Converted to Prores 422 in MPEG Streamclip (I can never keep the file system intact to use the FCP EOS plugin. I need to work on that)
- Imported into FCP7
1080 SEQUENCE SETTINGS:
Frame size: 1920x1080 HDTV 1080 (16:9)
Pixel Aspect Ratio: Square
Field Dominance: None
Editing Timebase: 29.97
Compressor: HDV1080p30 (Also tried ProRes)
Quality: 100 percent
After I export to Quicktime with current settings, the video plays back with a small black bar above and below the footage. Weird. This seems kind of normal to me, except these bars never existed when I edited in 720. Not that it looks bad, I'm just confused why the bars are there when they weren't there in 720.
720 SEQUENCE SETTINGS:
Frame size: 1280x720 HDTV 720p (16:9)
Pixel Aspect Ratio: Square
Field Dominance: None
Editing Timebase: 29.97
Compressor: HDV 720p30
Quality: 100 percent
When I export this, no black bars above and below.
So why -- If my settings are basically the same except for the 1080/720 substitution -- do I get the above/below black boxes for 1080 and I don't get them for 720?
I don't think I want the box. Don't like the box. The box is bad. I think.
Thanks.

I'll send my thanks over here, too, Shane. Posting on multiple sites because project is due today.
Hopefully this will be a lesson learned and my sequence settings are point-on from here on out.
If anyone else is reading this and has a similar problem, though, Shane came up with the solution:
"Highlight all the footage you pasted...then right-click and choose REMOVE ATTRIBUTES. Then check BASIC MOTION." After checking basic motion, you also have to check distort.
And if the quicktime inspector doesn't read out 1920x1080, don't worry about it and just trust FCP.
Thanks for the input, all.

Basic AV Receiver/FIOS Questions

OK, I know this is basic stuff for most of you, but bear with me as I'm not the tech wizard I always hoped I would be.
I currently have FIOS, A Blu-Ray Player, and a game system connected to my HDTV with individual HDMI Cables going through an automatic switch (whatever device I power on is the what shows up on the TV) - the output of the switch goes to the TVs HDMI input (older tv only has 1 HDMI In connection (don't laugh))
I am upgrading my AV receiver to one that offers 4 HDMI inputs and 1 HDMI output as well as the usual connections.
Here are the questions:
1. If I connect FIOS to one of the HDMI inputs on the receiver and then the HDMI out from the receiver to the TV - does this mean I must turn on the AV Receiver in order to watch TV? Also, can I use the TV speakers in those instances when surround sound is not needed.
2. If I connect the other components to HDMI inputs on the receiver, I assume I would have to rever to manually switching between sources thourgh the receiver as opposed to the automatic switching I now get from the 3 way switch.
3. If I connect the FIOS box directly to the TV, how can I then take advantage of the surround capabilities of the receiver?
I'm sure I'm overlooking some other questions, but I would appreciate any advice I can get.
Thanks

1a - Yes, you receiver would have to be on to watch TV.
1b - Depends on your AVR. You may have to switch the audio from the AVR to the TV.
2. Yes. To alleviate this, you may want to look at universal remote, which would set the inputs for you. Logitech's Harmony remotes would work, series 500 and higher.
3- If you TV has an optical out, you could run a digital cable from the Audio Out of the TV to the AVR. This should allow you to take advantage of Dolby Digital 5.1.
When I had the Verizon STB's, I connected the component cables out to the TV and the HDMI to my AVR. That way, I was able to watch TV w/o surround as needed, and gave me the ability to use the Surround Sound when I wanted. The only issue for me was that the STB's would lose their SD Override setting, and cause SD programming to stretch.
