Bug between Color 1.5 and REDCODE : clipping highlights the wrong way.

We encountered a problem during our tests for color grading with Apple Color 1.5.
I already posted about this bug about month ago, when Color 1.5 was released, but I had no answers, and as the bug prevents me from using this software, I'll ask the question again.
Here is the configuration we are using :
MacPro
AJA KONA3
REDROCKET + Installer v1.07 + RocketCineX 661
ATI RADEON HD 3870
Final Cut 7.0
Color 1.5
External Waveform Monitoring OmniTek
RED Final cut studio 3 installer : v20.00
Redcode quicktime v3.8.0
We have noticed that in Color, when we grade R3D files (transcoded with Final Cut 7 into Native, then in FCP in a REDCODE sequence), we have a problem with the signal on our external waveform monitoring (as well as on the internal Color's waveform).
When the Red metadatas are activated (RED menu in Primary), the signal clips at 95% in highlights. I tried to push the highlights really high, and the signal never goes over 95%, even if the frame is totally white.
When I disable the metadatas and grade the raw RedCode, the signal reacts normally and clips at 100%.
This actually happens even if I disable the inside Color clipper/and or force RGB in Color.
We tested with differents RED footages and it's always the same. I also tried to load other digital files, like F35 and D21, but there everything is normal. They clip at 100%.
As I never encountered this problem with the previous Color version, I wonder if it comes from the new sofware or from the new Red codecs, or if you have already heard of such a problem.
Thank you for any clarifications.

I'm sure you have tried this - but just to make sure - have you set the broadcast safe tab to off? Or - alternatively - have you tried it with the broadcast safe setting on and bumping the IRE up to max (110)?
Also - have you updated your Kona3 drivers to the new 6.5?
Also, what import profile are you using for the red footage (Log and Transfer>Little Gear icon middle top > RED FCP Log and Transfer Plugin.
I build a base grade in REDRUSHES and save the .RSX file at the root of the media that I will be importing, then select that one. Seems to bypass a bunch of small problems for me and get me grading in the right direction faster. Also have done pregrades on set with DPs using that method and then graded close to the imported footage. Works very well...
God luck - would love to hear how you solve this problem!

I made a movie in iMovie then deleted the clips in it. I have reimported the clips in an event with the same name as previously and some clips in the movie are still saying source slip missing even though they are there. What can I do?

I made a movie in iMovie then deleted the clips in it. I have reimported the clips in an event with the same name as previously and some clips in the movie are still saying source slip missing even though they are there. Some clips are fine in the movie, but most are just black and when I hover over them, it says source clip missing. How to I fix this? Thank You

I did that too, then I did a migration assistant to a new Mac and ALL of my movies have Source Clip Missing now, even though the original clips are still in the iPhoto Videos. I can stand to re edit one or two projects, but not ALL.

Selecting and moving clips to the right of the TCI

Is there a way to be able to move the editted clips that are to the right of my current TCI, and keep the edits as they are?
I'm looking for a ripple delete with more control if that makes sense. My old editting software had a group tool which alowed me to make a cut and move every edit to the right, to exactly where I wanted to move them. I tried using the track select, but it only works on the track I drag, even if I select more than one track.

I'm not sure what the tool is called--I call it the "A-Tool" because you hit "A" to get it to come up. Anyway, hit "A" on your keyboard and shift+click on the left-most clip that you want to move, and it will select that clip and all clips to the right of it, on all tracks. Then you can move them over. If you don't shift+click, but just click, it will select only the clips on the single track.

I am trying to link coc between a new ipod and my iPad. The iPad was the old device. I did as I was supposed to by logging in the Game Center, then opening coc, and went thru the tutorial. The Game Center keeps trying to load the new village on my iPad and not the other way around. It basically is trying to make my old village the new village, meaning I lose a lot of progress. How do make it combine the 2? If I cannot, is there a way to remove the new village off the Game Center and add the one I want to be saved? Thank you.

You'll have to contact the app developer for help with this.

I need to do sap sd certification ,training for same is very costly from authorised center and i canot afford ,the other way is i do training from unauthorised center and take certification exam in any country where prerequisite is not doing training

i need to do sap sd certification ,training for same is very costly from authorised center and i canot afford ,the other way is i do training from unauthorised center and take certification exam in any country where prerequisite is not doing training from authorised center.how good it it to do prepare from unauthorised center and take exam in any country like australia ,US ?please help understand .

Hi Preeti,
please first understand the difference between a subject (your header) and its body line, please never write so long subject matter.
Now coming to your queries , what you thinks being at Australia or US is free of Cost. The first thing is that i don't understand your mission for taking Certifications, Are you a working proffesional because for more than 2 yrs. of working experience, you don't need any training , you can take direct examinations.
And if you are not a working professional, i don't thing taking any certification will serve any purpose in your job hunt, although it will enrich your Resume only, you will nothing get out of this from just taking a vertification
So, please tell us that you are a fresher or having real time working exposure in SAP SD module, then any one will guide you well.

TS1387 I am importing CD's into iTunes. There were 3 different selection for the CD I put in and I accidently selected the wrong one, Now how do I change it? It seems to only recognize it as the wrong CD now.

I am importing CD's into iTunes. The CD that I put in had the option of 3 different CD's and I accidentally chose the wrong CD name. Is there a way to change it? It now seems to only recognize that CD as the wrong one.

Trevor,
When you say your superdrive rips, the import speeds are typically around 20x, what encoding method and bit rate are you using ?
I imported another CD and watched for what import speed numbers were displayed. Routinely, they hovered around 8x and sometimes up to 12 or 13x, but never higher. I was told by someone at our local user's group meeting that ripping at AAC 192kbps was a double-pass, I think that was the words they used, and therefore slower. ( Many members thought 7 minutes to rip was typical ) I'm not so sure if that means the drive will only spin at half it's rated max speed ? Anyway, I walked over to my son's PC with the CD and ripped it at AAC 192kbps to his iTunes library. The numbers I saw were from 18x to frequently 23, 24 and sometimes briefly to about 26x. His drive has a max of 40x. By my reasoning, anything that would cause iTunes to rip this CD at a slower speed, whether due to the encoding rate or the CD's surface condition, should affect both computers equally, yes ? Yet the drive on the PC performed on average at twice the rate of the iMac. I think it's safe to say the rip speed is comfortably within the operating margins of both drives.
I'm not yet fully convinced this is normal for an iMac. My CD are in excellent shape. I'm the only one who uses them and I handle them with about as much care as the old audiofiles used to when they handled their vinyl LPs ( well, at least not as far as wearing cotton gloves and sweeping the dust off ). Most of them have absolutely no visible scratches or oily finger prints on their surfaces. I might experiment and see what rates I get if I use MP3 or a lower bit rate for AAC.

I took all my video with my iPhone turned the wrong way. When I view it on my pc it's turned on its side. How can I rotate the video and crop it?

Try plugging it into a computer with iTunes opened. If you see anything that says restore, say no.
Sometimes these issues resolve themselves when you connect the device to iTunes.
What happens when you hold the home and sleep/wake button? I know it doesn't work, but does it shut off at all?

I have tried this keyboard on Windows 7 devices and they work just fine, but on IOS7, either the first version or the version released today, it remains the wrong way around - i.e. US spec.

Hi,

I want to sort all my bookmarks alphabetically but can't. You only let me drop a bookmark into an already-existing folder. And if that is the only way, how can I create new folders?

With the iPod connected to the computer go to the Music pane for the iPod in iTunes and check the box that says sync only checked songs. The check the songs you want synced and click on Sync. For more info see:

Thanks for responding....but isn't your potential solution designed for Windows users? I have a Mac.
If it does apply to Mac, I am also hoping for something simpler as this could take weeks to isolate the problem and it would be more efficient to use another browser for mail
Also, I should have added, this problem occurs only occasionally and seemingly only when I am taking some time to compose a message

I want to use my ipad to display song lyrics. I have all the lyrics on my computer in Word format and want to know the easiest way to convert them to my ipad and what apps I should use.

I would just leave them in Word...GR reads many formats very easily.
If our goal is to work on/edit the files it may be useful to look into something like Pages if you have a Mac, and the Pages for iOS devices so you could use the same word processor on both machines.
But if you convert the Word to PDF and then use GR you can still edit the files...GR will edit and annotated PDF files rather easily.
