Black on End of Exports--No Reason for It

+I'm posting this as a new question because nearly a month has gone by and no answer to a previous question.+
Every export has minutes of extra black added to the end. THERE ARE NO CLIP FRAGMENTS IN THE TIMELINE. These sequences are created just for the exports, and have only a clip or two in them. Yes, I set in/out marks, also tried not setting them.
This seems to be a SOFTWARE BUG. Can APPLE address this??
Any other experiences with this?
Thank you!

Thank you for your responses. It's doing this in two different projects, on different computers! (My desktop and laptop--I have been running both simultaneously.)
But I will try your suggestions and respond again. (Why didn't I try trashing pref's before?.....)
These are huge files--P2, DVCPRO HD. Compressing to HDV24p. Don't know if that has anything to do with it.

At the end of exporting Premiere freezes for a few minutes

Hi,
my computer is a i7 4930K @4,5GHz, 16GB RAM, 250GB SSD, Radeon 6950.
I was editing a 50 minutes long movie (cca 20GB source clips, cca 4,5GB output movie).
The export ran very well finishing after about 25 minutes but then Premiere froze with message "encoding, 0 seconds remaining" displayed and nothing seemed to be happening.
I realized the HDD activity was shining (not even blinking), the Widnows resource monitor reported cca 70-100MB/s transfer on my SSD (even though I think my SSD should be faster) and when I held F5 while looking into the export directory the output file was growing on capacity.
If I concider 70MB/s writing the task shloud be done in cca 1 minute. But it took I would say 5 minutes or even more finishing this task. RAM was not even fully used.
Is this behaviour normal?
How can I improve this? Is my SSD slow?
Thanks

Multiplexing is the process of interleaving the audio and video in a single output file. When you export with multiplexing set to None, you'll end up with the audio and video in separate files. That's probably not what you want.
That said, I suggest doing one export with the multiplexer set to None. If encoding then completes immediately upon hitting 100%, that confirms that multiplexing is what's adding time at the end.
What I don't know is how long multiplexing should take for a sequence of a given duration.
If you're so inclined, you could submit a bug report that the progress bar doesn't factor in the multiplexing time.

What is the reason for this error? after export part of movie broken

hi, i cannot find the reason for this strange error that happaned to me for the first time, you can see the outcome here:
http://picasaweb.google.com/p.cardash/IMovieBug/photo#5164317113276584274
after exporting in imovie to h264 .mov file, from HDV project, resolution is twisted, plus, the part that was supposed to fit hole screen, is black and sometimes with little graphic errors.
i tried about 10 times, with different setting, resolutions, and other parameteres.
after exporting for ipod, everything is ok, in m4v format.
what is wrong? i use the same method for creating and also for exporting, as in previous projects. i didnt use any new transitions, efects nor titles...
any thoughts?
best to You,
Piotr

ok, i think that i know where is the problem, but i still dont what is it
ive copied my file to a new mac with just installed imovie and everything is the same,exactly the same output. so 100% positively the problem is within the particular project.
i didnt check my mackbook with TT, since i dont have it and dont want to pay i thought its for free
i`ll try later to figure out what wrong and what part of the project is bad.
for now, i think i hate imovie again :)) piece of..
let me know how your case ended.

Export quality grainy for TEXT / TITLE

Hello there,
Am kind of a newb, but am getting used to the basics and am happy with the video export quality. For some reason, the TITLE objects are coming out grainy, even when viewed at 100% size. I tried different output types, bitrates, changed fonts, font size, position, etc. Put black background behind, removed background, no matter what am still getting the fonts looking crappy once exported.
Some screenshots of what I see in the Premiere Pro output preview / workspace, and then a second shot showing the resulting output (same result in diff bitrates, just chose one as example)
In Pro:

Exported:
http://fms.whoajack.com/textIssue02.png
Any ideas?
Thanks for any suggestions,
Greg

DV is far from the best codec for text. But the real problem is that you're using FCP's built-in text generators. Instead, use the Boris Title 3D and Boris Title Crawl generators. They produce much cleaner vector-based text and have a ton of more options for creativity.

Exporting to DVD for Encore

Hi all, I have been doing a lot of reading and have been trying to resist making a new topic, but I think I can't help it anymore, so here it goes.
I previously got a crash course in exporting from within Premiere to Encore here - http://forums.adobe.com/thread/857030
I used workflow 1 and reported getting good results. That project was under an hour. I am now dealing with wedding videos that go on past an hour and would like some more help, if possibly, though I think I have managed to stumble my way through quite a bit.
The footage being used is DSLR at full 1920x1080 and I simply exported to MPEG-2 DVD using "Match Source Attributes (High Quality)" from the dropdown menu.
I then checked "Use Max Render Quality" and after 9+ hours I got a final product. When I looked at it in Encore, however, I found the results to be less than favorable. Text seemed to be blocky and skimming through, some things seemed pixelated.
I was really discouraged by this but decided to burn it and test anyway. Results were not AS bad as I thought, and I figure there may have been an issue looking at the DVD resolution video on my 1080 monitor. Things are bound to look ugly.
So the footage does not look too bad, I think the average Joe won't complain much. I did notice some areas where there was a bit of flicker, like say, intricate wickar furniture.
Question 1: Am I to assume that this is on account of the bitrate and how it was budgeted?
My minimum bitrate was 2.8.
Max was 7 and target was 5.
The entire film (wedding) is an hour and ten minutes and with those settings it says the output would be 3292MB - and the audio and video file came up to 3.21GB (duh)
Question 2: Can I adjust some settings to maybe bump up the file size? Since I have a 4.7GB DVD disc to play with, can I not make the overall file be close to the capacity and get even higher quality video? How best should I do this?
Question 3: What should I be selecting for Pixel Aspect Ratio? 16:9 or 4:3, considering it is DSLR footage going to SD DVD?
Question 4: If I want to add things like extra features, or, full speeches, I am guessing I should just do a 2nd disc? For future reference.
I appreciate any input that can be given, and since all my searching on the forums didn't find these specific questions (assuming I'm not just bad at searching) maybe others will get some help out of this as well in future.

I never tried the DL discs because of compatibility issues I read about, but with the much greater cost, and the volume of discs I do, did not care to go that direction anyway. As for MPEG-2 encoders out there, everyone has their favorites and their opinions, and I'm not going to name any, as this is the Adobe forum. I do generally use AME myself, but have "Option B" for certain specialty jobs, but is a VERY complicated workflow. Involves several pieces of public domain software.
As for CBR vs. VBR encoding, you'll get all kinds of opinions on that. For years, I authored with a third-party DVD tool that did not like importing VBR files, so I stuck with CBR all the time, and now that I am authoring in Encore...old habits die hard. I have my reasons for using CBR for most jobs still. I like to think that encoding at 6 or 7 looks pretty good, so...why not encode ALL of your footage at 7? Why encode some scenes at the low end of say 4, when ALL the footage could be 7? So I like to stick with CBR except for low data rate jobs where extra bit management will show a tangible benefit. I've also seen "break up" of the image with VBR when hitting sudden channges, like photo flashes at wedding receptions, where the data rate spikes from min to max with VBR - don't see this issue with CBR. Probably depends on the player to an extent. The guy who encodes everything at 10 has to be rolling his eyes at me right now ;-)
About the two hour projects - if you are talking about starting with an HD source, then getting a nice result on DVD is difficult at any bitrate! It has to do with scaling issues, and is especially problematic with interlaced footage because you are not just scaling, but flipping from Upper Field to Lower Field interlacing as well and things just go bad. Not singling out Adobe - I don't know if ANY NLE really nails it, just Google it, it's a problem all around the industry. We all though that shooting in HD would automagically result in nicer DVDs, but my old DV-sourced DVDs look better.
Adobe recommends using the "Maximum Render Quality" setting in AME when scaling (HD to SD), but then I see other posts saying that CUDA rendering with an Nvidia card will actually do better, so leave Max Render off if you have Nvidia...makes my head hurt.
When I figure it all out, will let you know! I've been making DVDs for over 10 years, and only ran into quality issues when I started shooting HD. Seems that setting the DVD encode to PROGRESSIVE may help when encoding from HD material, takes interlacing out of the picture. Still working on that.
As for the 560 formula, got that right from the Adobe site a while back. It's just the number that works. Think about it - reverse engineer and multiply the optimal data rate that will fit a 4.7GB disc times minutes, and it is 560! 6.22x90=558. 4.66x120=559 and so on.
When I talk about delivering two-hour DVDs to my customers, this is different than say doing a concert video or indie film for national distribution. My wedding, dance recital and stage play customers think the DVDs look great. A TV critic might diagree. Just consider that the average young person is now VERY used to watching YouTube garbage, so they wouldn't know quality if it bit them in the backside! Compression is what they are used to.

What's the reason for " 'Writing XMP Metadata' did not complete successfully

I rightclicked an image and selected "save metadata to file" and got this not-so-very-informative error message. What could be the cause? The file is there and it is not write protected.
Adobe - what about giving some more information when LR encounters errors?
Win XP, LR 1.3.1

While read only is the most likely cause, I have been trying to track down a similar problem which so far I can only equate to the creation time of the file ending in 00.
For example, I have a file taken at 6/13/2006 1:00:00 PM
If I do Metadata -> Edit Capture Time...
and set the time to be 6/13/2006 1:00:01 PM
Then click twice on the Resolve Conflicts button for Metadata, the second one works. Both times I tell it to overwrite the metadata on disk. My assumption is that the data processing logic has issues reading in entries like:
2006-06-13T13:00:00-08:00
I would even go so far as speculating it treats them as just the day and drops the hour / minute portion. The reason for this conjecture is that I stumbled on this issue when exporting images would occasionally have 2006/06/13 12:00AM as the timestamp and when I checked which ones had problems, they all were taken at 00 seconds into the minute.
Henrik, if you are still having this problem, does the file happen to have a 00 second creation timestamp? If so, try changing it by a second and I would be curious if you it starts working for you too.
Cheers,
John

Mass change of reason for rejection

I need to show a list of all the orders on teh basis of sales order date.
the user will select few from the list and click "reject".
this will popup a window showing all the reasons.
after selecting a reason the program should change

But can it be done without BDC.
I have given it a shot using FUNCTION module 'SD_SALES_DOCUMENT_READ' but I am unable to send the new reason for rejection to the fn module . Also the fn module SD_BULK_CHANGE is not helping as for as my understanding goes.

Who does CS6 keep freezing the export at 100% for a long project?

I have a timeline with about 38 smaller H.264 files butted against each other - no missing video at all - no black frames. (I did it this way so all the effects , etc., have been rendered out already into a separate file so as not to disturb the long render of the whole film.) After I wait close to two hours, (lots of ram,) it freezes at 100% and that's it folks. Sometimes it says there's :14 seconds left to go, 100% rendered, and still freezes. I don't mean for a few minutes - I mean until the coming apocalypse. I noticed when I had clips at 5-10 minutes that it still froze - maybe for a few minutes - and then the file was complete with audio/video combined into the MP4.
Now I know I can bring in separate clips into Encore from the get go, let Encore handle everything in one timeline and hopefully successfully burn to disc. But - when the time comes to sell this to a buyer, they'll no doubt want ONE long video file as a deliverable - not a collection of clips they have to reassemble for whatever reason. I don't want to go to a large post production facility with 38 video clips and the separate audio files (they exist in one piece from an audio house,) and pay them who know how much an hour to do the export and burn for me.
I have emptied the media cache, tried taking it from a 93 minute video to a chunk of 35 minutes, but still it freezes. I have tried this in CS6 and the CC version since I subscribe to the Suite. I'm trying an 18 minute clip now. If that works I'd be bringing in 5 clips or so into Encore and then lay in my audio which exists in one piece - and God willing the thing won't burn me a video where the audio/video is off by even a frame - so that scares me a lot. Exporting for Encore is not my issue - it's making a 93 minute 1920x1080 H.264 video file I can hand over to someone. And this isn't even a BluRay setting! I still have to make that successfully!
Thank you.

I shoot for about -6dB, with no peaks above 0dB.
Sounds like you have a very weak signal. I'd set away from PrPro and handle this in SB, or Audition. Listen carefully with a good pair of noise-canceling headphones first, and then test on monitors.
Are you working in mono, stereo or 5.1 SS?
Good luck,
Hunt

Is there a way to prevent Robohelp WebHelp from appending characters to the end of the URL address for a TOC Entry?

I am running RoboHelp 10 on Windows 7 Enterprise SP1 64 bit OS.
WebHelp is appending characters to the end of the TOC entry's URL address. The characters "bc-n" where n is a number are being generated for all of the TOC Page Entries when I generate WebHelp output. We are exporting the HTML files for import into an application. The TOC Page Properties Link to: property does not contain the characters in RoboHelp.
We have standardized names defined for our application and the appended characters are not going to work in the application.
cid:[email protected]
When I use the generated html output in IE10 Version 10.0.9200.16635 Update Versions: 10.0.7 (KB2846071) the characters show up in the URL when I hover the mouse over the TOC entry as shown in the screenshot below.
cid:[email protected]
The two screenshots show that the Link to property does not have the characters "bc-7" but the URL address does.
Is there a setting or way to configure RoboHelp to prevent Robohelp WebHelp from generating and appending characters to the end of the URL address for TOC Entries?

I have never known Rh add any characters so I think something else is at play here. Please open one of the sample projects and see what happens there. Click Open on the RoboHelp Starter page and then click Samples in the ribbon on the left.

What are the reasons for disabling the saving of data in a PDF?

I seem to have had more than my share of encounters lately with PDF files that have editable fields but have their data saving capability disabled.
In some of these situations this has been an absolutely maddening inconvenience.
When I attempt to bring this to the attention of whomever's responsible I get brushed off.
One person's response was: Actually the majority of the PDF forms I have are Adobe reader and you cannot make changes electronically at all. The reason for this is to make sure that the documents are not altered in any way. The <companies creating the PDFs> must make sure that changes are not being made to their forms.
I just don't understand that. How is entering and saving data 'altering' a PDF?
Is this just bone-headed bureacracy, an urban legend, or is there some fundamental practical matter I am not aware of?

Saving a filled-in form has always been disallowed with Adobe Reader, formerly known as Acrobat Reader. Though there are a few exceptions...
History lesson:
Forms features were first introduced in Acrobat 3. As you might imagine, a number of folks wanted to be able to save filled-in forms using Acrobat Reader. Since this functionality simply was not a feature of Reader, it was not possible. If you wanted to save a filled-in form, you needed to use Acrobat (Exchange).
Upon recognizing the potential market for a product that they could sell, Adobe developed and released Acrobat Business Tools, which was a version 4 product. It was positioned between Reader and Acrobat, was reasonably priced, and allowed users to save filled-in forms, apply digital signatures, and add comments. Unfortunately, this was marketed poorly and did not achieve commercial success.
The next iteration was a similar product named Acrobat Approval, which was a version 5 product. It too could save a filled-in form, but was in some ways more limited than Business Tools, and suffered a similar fate. That is, it was not a market success. It was however distributed for free to US taxpayers on the IRS tax products CD-ROM.
The next idea from Adobe - which was a good one - was to provide for a means of embedding usage rights in a PDF document. These rights would allow Reader to do things it normally would not be able to do, such as saving a filled-in form, adding comments, importing/exporting form data, creating new pages using templates, connecting to databases and web services, etc. At first, the only way to enable these usage rights was with an expensive product from Adobe, so the potential was initially not realized.
With the release of Acrobat 7, Acrobat users were able to add some usage rights, such as commenting. While this was a welcome addition, folks still wanted to be enable forms to be saved with Reader. Finally with the release of Acrobat 8 Pro, users were able to enable forms to be saved with Reader, but it came with licensing restrictions. In short, if the licensee distributed the form for more than 500 recipients, the licensee could use data from no more that 500 copies of a particular form that was returned to them, including hardcopies. This was great for forms used inside of an orginization, but not so great for forms that needed to be used by the general public. Still, it was a very useful feature for a majority of businesses for internal forms, the vast majority of which have fewer than 500 employees.
Acrobat 9 or 10 didn't change things. Adobe still wants to capitalize on this market, which certainly is not a bad thing for Adobe and their stockholders. The US IRS forms have long been saveable with Reader because they licence Adobe Reader Extensions, which provides revenue for Adobe.
Note that some third-party PDF viewers allow users to save filled-in forms whether or not the documents have usage rights. Such software has a different marketing model than does Adobe Reader/Acrobat, and rides the coattails of Adobe by taking advantage of the popularity of PDF forms.

Standard PNP selection screen problem in reason for action type

Hi all,
We have used standard PNP in one of our report program.
The input for 'Reason for Action' (excluding a particular reason for action ) has no effect on the actual selection of data from the PNP. i.e. even if a particular reason for action is excluded in the selection, record pertaining to that action for reason is still picked in the PNP selection and passed on to the program through Get PERNR statement.
The above problem seems to affect all the standard and custom HR Reports as well.
Please advise on how exactly the excluding of a particular reason for action work in selection through PNP and is there anyway to solve the problem.
eagerly waiting for your response.
Thanking You,

LCM Export not working for Business rules in 11.1.1.3

Hi,
I triggered an LCM export for Business rules (just 2 rules) with the admin id and its in in progress state for the past 2 hours. I don't think its making any progress as I checked the below,
1) No LCM logs created in the /hyperion/common/utilities/logs/LCM/ folder.
2) No export directories are created in the Import/Export folder.
3) No errors registered in the shared services logs.
What could be the reason for this issue?
Is there any other logs which I missed to check?
Is there a way to kill this apart from recycling the services?

This is a known issue and has to do with the http timeout settings. Usually this will happen on the 5 minute limit, but it depends what setting they have.
Take a look at this article and see if it applies:

One possible reason for the spinning beachball with versions 10.0.2 trying to play/see anything

Hi there.
I discovered today what is the reason for the strange problem I've been having with FCP X from 10.0.2+. The problem was that I just couldn't use it: I couldn't see any media in the canvas/preview pane, no matter if it was video, jpgs, psds, whatever. Trying to use or reproduce a project was just more of the same: a spinning beachball forever. At some point, from time to time, the black from the preview pane changes to a checkboard, but that was all.
This happened in 10.0.3, 10.0.4 and 10.0.5.
I tried everything, removing the events, projects, and so on. The only thing that worked was to create a new user in my machine and use FCPX there. Everything seems to work fine there. I did that yesterday at 3am. Today I saw that the colors were off in that user, and I remembered that the calibration is not setup at the system level, but for each user, so went on to change the profile to use the one I did for my screen (I have my screens calibrated frequently). Voilá, now FCPX doesn't work anymore on the new user. The only change was the profile, so I went to System Preferences, selected the old (default) profile, and now FCPX works fine.
I don't know if the problem is my profile (I created it with ColorEyes DisplayPro, I don't have anything else right now to try to create a new one) or if the issue is with FCPX itself, as I have only had problems with FCPX related to the profile. In any case, the issue is now identified in my case, and even if I don't like to work in a non-calibrated screen, that will have to do for now.
I will try some other calibration software and see if the results are the same, but I thought of sharing my findings here in case someone is still having this issue.
Tomorrow that the 5770 arrives for my Mac Pro 1,1 I'll try to run it, also with the calibrated screen, and see what happens.
HTH,
Rodrigo

I'm sorry, but I'm not sure what you mean with "the profile is downstream from ColorSync"?
I'm willing to accept that there is something wrong with the way ColorEyes DisplayPro is making the profile, although if the OS loads it and uses it and doesn't complain at all - nor any other app I use - I don't see why FCP should have issues with it. But I'm willing to try some other app to create the profile for the screen and will do as soon as I can get my hands on some other.
Between lines, hopefully I'm wrong, but I read you are telling me that FCP doesn't support having a "typical" monitor calibration, usual in printing/photography/etc workflows, but only supports calibrated output through broadcast monitors, using third party hardware? And that in the Color screen settings I must not use any "user generated" screen profile?

How can I export to PDF for Offset printing including color and grayscale photo's?

After reading dozens of forum, I still don’t found the answer.
I made a photobook with full-colur and B/W photos for Offset printing. I want the B/W to be in grayscale to avoid color possible color shades. It seems InDesign doesn’t support grayscale, the images become way to dark. Even with exporting without any colour conversion or destination and/or including original colour profiles, the grayscale pictures are being exported to dark to PDF.
How can I export to PDF for Offset printing including color and grayscale photo’s?

Yes, the Photoshop & ID CMYK working spaces are the same
This can get difficult because the 3 programs handle soft proofing differently.
The working spaces don't matter, it's the document profile(s) that manage the preview. So here is the same grayscale image placed in ID on top and PS on the bottom. I've set my Photoshop info to show the doc profile in the lower left corner. I can see my InDesign's Document CMYK profile in my Proof Setup (the Working CMYK is different and isn't being used). Both profiles are effectively the same Coated FOGRA39 (Black Ink FOGRA in the case of PS).
But the previews don't match because I have Overprint turned off, so the InDesign preview is Gamma 2.2 or a "screen" media preview.
If I turn on Overprint preview I get a match because I'm soft proofing for print:

Exporting MPEG2 files for Blu-ray from 720p60

I am exporting MPEG2 files for Blu-ray from 720p60 using compressor 3.05. I export straight from Final Cut 6 to compressor. It all looks great except I end up with some frames in the video that pixelate. It is just one frame, and the average viewer may not see it, but if you go frame by frame you see it. I thought it was just a bad export, but I exported the file again and the same thing happens again on the exact same frame. The fact that it happened again on the exact same frame was very odd to me. It is this way on five different video files. It's certainly not like that in the original on my timeline, so I don't know why it is doing that.
I guess I will try exporting a quicktime file first and then putting that file through compressor to see if that makes a difference. Any ideas from anybody?

Exporting a quicktime file first still produced the pixelated frame. I'm not sure what else to try.
