Can't get Optical Flow to render

I've read a couple of posts about other people having this problem, but they don't seem to apply as I can't find a workaround. I'm running FC 10.0.8.
If I render my timeline (about 15 minutes), the entire timeline renders, except for about five seconds that are in slow motion. The orange bar remains above that section even after the entire timeline is rendered.
After reading the other posts, I know the following might be relevant: I'm editing optimized AVCHD footage. There is no speed ramp. It's just a clip at slowed to 50%. The clip is completely separate (it's not just a selected range--in another post, somebody said just selecting a range was their problem).
I also tried creating a new project, bringing in a short clip (and nothing else), slowing it to 25%, and rendering all. The percentage display counted up to 100% like the clip was being rendered, but, at the end, the timeline still showed orange above the retimed clip.
I should say that I don't know if the clips are actually rendered properly in Optical Flow. I'm not sure I'd be able to tell the difference. All I know is that the timeline is still showing orange above them, so I'm presuming they aren't.

Russ--
Funny thing. I decided to test this by taking the same very brief clip and putting it into a timeline three times in a row. Then I made each slow motion 25%. Then I left the first normal, made the second frame blending, and the third optical flow. Then I exported the master file.
I guess I can see a difference, but the optical flow section actually looks kind of blurry to me.
Then I went back to the timeline and chose Modify> Render All. And FCX rendered the entire timeline, with no orange above any portion (not even the Optical Flow portion).
So I don't know what to think now. I don't know what the problem was, or if optical flow is any better than normal or frame blending. Maybe I need to try it with some different footage?

Can't get optical audio to work

I know this might be an issue with my A/V receiver, but I'm really stuck and frustrated and hoping someone can help. I've got the Apple TV connected direct to the TV since the receiver (A Denon AVR-688) doesn't support audio playback through to the speakers (or does it? can't get it to anyway). The optical audio I have connected to the optical port on the receiver so I can hear sound through the stereo. The port is labelled "CD" but my audio input source to CD, I get no sound through the stereo (just what's coming through to the TV via the direct HDMI connection). I must be setting something wrong. Can anyone help me?

I only see an option to set the "input" source (not output), which I have selected as CD as I have no CD player, and it's the default setting anyway. Regardless, I'm sure I've got something set up wrong just can't figure out what it is. Ugh!

How can I get cover flow to work on a fifth generation Ipod classic

I have a fifth generation Ipod. Is there any way I can get cover flow or something similar? When I'm browsing through my music, I want to be able to see the album cover, rather than just the album title.
Thank youl

Not possible.

Can´t get optical sound output from my brand new mini

have connected the MM to an optical input on my Yamaha RX-V659, but I can´t get no sound.
Mac-side: After connecting and turning on, "System Prefs -> Sound -> Output" has changed to Digital Output and says that no output controls are available for this output. I have tried playing from iTunes and DVD Player. In DVD player the option for selecting Digital Output had appeared, and I chose that. When I take a look at the end of the cable I plug into the receiver I see a constant red light.
Yamaha-side: I have tried 2 different optical inputs, and gone over my settings several times. The receiver does not seem to detect digital audio coming in. I tried the Signal Info menu on my receiver, and for another source it output:
PCM, 48kHz, 2.0, Analog
On the optical input it says:
---, ---, 2.0, Analog

I have a similar setup to a Kenwood receiver. You are correct that ALL system sounds (frontrow, system alerts, etc.) will play through to your stereo.
Have you tried switching Toslink cables and/or the toslink to miniplug adapter that is plugged into the mini?
I had a bad cable at one point in time, and a bad adapter at another point in the life of this system. You perhaps tried these things already but I only saw mention of trying 2 different inputs (I assume on the receiver) and made no mention of cables/adapters.
Let me know how you make out.

Can't get Cover Flow to keep previous window settings, help?

I'm sure that there is some easy quick fix to this but I couldn't find it anywhere doing various web searches. Anyway, I'm new to Snow Leopard and I've noticed a very irritating difference/glitch/whatever between it and Leopard.
I am a graphics guy and I always used Cover Flow in Finder to search through my documents and files and heap of images. The old Cover Flow view always opened new windows to the size and proportions (image vs. text) as my previous window(s). In this new Snow Leopard that I installed, whenever I open a new Finder window in Cover Flow it gives me this huge 90% image view with just this small 10% file texts at the bottom of the window. Each time I have to click and drag the divider bar back up to the 50% line. If I click on a file, again, the view jumps to this flippin' huge image view and I have to drag the divider back up to the middle.
Is there anyway to get Finder to be like in the old Leopard where it remembers that I want Cover Flow to always be a 50/50 split between seeing the images and the file names? Its driving me crazy. I would assume there is just some little button or something that I am missing. Thanks.

I gave that a try and it "kinda" works but doesn't really solve the annoyance. If you resize it again in the slightest or shift the divider bar, the whole thing jumps back to the 90/10 view. Why!?!?! Does that not drive anyone else insane?
Thanks for the duct tape fix though Captfred. I can at least use that in the mean time. I really hope they fix that problem with the next update. It worked just fine before, but now it makes cover flow somewhat unusable.

I can't get dxtory files to render.

I record gameplays for youtube, and I recently switched from fraps to dxtory as the audio quality in dxtory is a lot better. However I can render fraps files just fine, but when I render dxtory files I get error messages and a pop up that says close program. I have no idea what's wrong with it. I'm using adobe premiere pro cs6. It does the exact same thing if I try to render in sony vegas. The only program I can get to finsish rendering is windows movie maker, which I don't want to edit with. Please let me know what other info I need to supply to try and fix the problem, thanks in advance for your replies.

That would indicate that the problem is with your Dxtory settings, not Premiere Pro

I can't get my filters to render

I am running Final Cut Pro 7 and I have a clip that already has RGB Balance filter and Key filter on it. I am adding Brightness Contrast or any of the other Gamma Correction type filters to the clip, It lets me adjust the filter but when I render it this filter is not included in the render. I have done some experimenting and it seems that the RGB balance is what is stopping this filter from being applied.
I have tried with all the possible filters that will let me adjust the levels on the image, I have tried taking the clip with the first two filters and nesting it then applying the new filter to the nested clip but nothing seems to work.
This clip is too dark, can anyone help me figure

When Final Cut Pro begins to act in unexpected ways, the usual first step is to trash the FCP preferences.
You can download Preference Manager (free) from Digital Rebellion and it will do all the work for you:

Once you have trashed your preferences, they will be restored to default the next time FCP launches.
Also, what is the "Key" you have applied?

Can't get optical input to w

I have my XBox hooked up through my Audigy 2 Platinum Pro, and I was wanting to route the sound signal to my speaker system. I have the optical cord plugged into the Xbox output and into the Platinum Pro input, I have set the XBox up through the bios to output Dolby Digital and DTS and such. And I checked to make sure that the optical input wasn't muted or anything, and it isn't... but I don't get any sound from the XBox from this setup, and I don't know why. What do I need to do?

Can't get mpeg-2 to render with 2 macs

I've got a G5 quad and a MacBook. Trying to get them be nice. I've spent hours. Done distributed rendering in LightWave & After Effects a million times. This software is the most bizarre I've ever seen.
The manual tells you what is possible but doesn't actually tell you how to do anything.
I want to render a movie in FCP into mpeg-2 which I've done using compressor many times. Thought it would be nice if the MacBook would help.
Please tell me in simple steps how to do it. BTW MacBook is only 10.4.11. Is that the problem?

Can't get traffic flowing between VLANs on an ASA 5505

I've got an ASA 5505 with the Security Plus license that I'm trying to configure.
So far I have setup NATing on two VLANs, one called 16jda (VLAN 16 - 10.16.2.0/24) and one called 16jdc (VLAN 11 - 10.105.11.0/24).
From each subnet I am able to connect to the internet, but I need these subnets to also be able to talk to each other.
I have each VLAN interface at security level 100 and enabled "same-security-traffic permit inter-interface", and I have setup static NAT mappings between the two subnets, but they still can't communicate.
When I try to ping there is no reply and the only log message is:

Basically, when inside wants to communicate with the other interfaces bearing security-level 100 e.g. 16jda or 16jdc or vice-versa, you’ll need to enable “NAT Exemption” i.e. nat (nameif) 0 . I know you have already enabled the same-security permit inter-interface command, but this command becomes useless once you’ve enable dynamic nat on one of those interfaces. It’s as if the same-security traffic command wasn't even entered in the first place. Hence, the Cisco ASA is behaving as expected as per Cisco's documentation.

Can't get GTX 970 to render - it's still using the CPU

Hello guys.
I'm using trial of Premiere Pro CC 2014 on Windows 8.1 x64.
Decided to try out my new machine - i5-4690K, EVGA GTX 970 FTW, 16GB DDR3 2400 Mhz, Samsung 850 Pro.
So I have this test video 1080p 60FPS 1min 2s short which I'm exporting to H.264 same as source but lower bitrate.
With the software renderer it takes 3min20s.
I wanted to try out my GTX 970, so I ran the GPUSniffer and added "GeForce GTX 970" into my "cuda_supported_cards.txt". Restarted the machine, made new Project, selected GPU rendering in the Project Settings and gave it a go.
It took exactly 3min20s as before and checking in CPUID HWMonitor GPU usage was 0 and CPU was running full speed. So certainly not GPU Accelerated.
I'm using latest drivers, which is 350.12.
Any ideas what should I do now?
Thank you very much for your time.

Where does the video card fit in?
The video card and hardware MPE is not the holy grail. It helps in some circumstances to improve performance and rather significantly, but in other instances it does not help at all, as is indicated in the link above. People often think that installing a super fast video card will reduce export times by a significant amount of time. That is not true. It only helps in a limited number of situations. Keep in mind that:
Encoding to an export format is done by the CPU, not the GPU. No performance gain from a video card.
Frame rate changes, frame blending is done by a suitable video card, for instance exporting to 24P from 29.97i or 60P. Here there is a clear performance gain.
Scaling is also helped by hardware MPE, for instance going from 4K to HD or from HD to SD. Again a clear performance gain.
Rendering for preview is helped by the video card only for accelerated effects.
If any of the last three points are a major part of your workflow, then a good video card will speed up these parts of the editing by up to 15 times on average over software MPE.
For further information about video cards, see Tweakers Page - What video card to use?

How can I get my footer to render properly in IE 6&7?

I've been successful in overcoming several other problems that appear in IE 6&7, but I have a footer div that contains two elements to create left and right content. In every browser these appear as they should, but in IE 6&7 the left element drifts into the center. I'm sure it's something simple, but I haven't found a solution

I don't have time to fix all the problems on that page. So let's just focus on the Footer code.
Copy and paste this into a new, blank html document. I took out the height, APDivs and replaced them with Floats. Tested and works in IE6,7,8, latest FF 3.6.7 and Chrome with increased and decreased text sizes.

Optical Flow - Native MXF

I'm trying to slow some footage down within FCP X but it seems that Optical Flow only works if I've already transcoded my Canon MXF footage to ProRes, and not if it's left in it's original media state (which is all FCP X seems to allow). I've checked this on several different computers and they are all the same. It's simply repeating frames!
Unfortunately, FCP X refused to transcode to optimised media (C'mon Apple, at least give us the choice!!!!), so I end up having to export the clip to ProRes and re-ingest it as an additional clip.   This is both time consuming and a waste of HDD space.
Are there any other work arounds?
All machines are 10.8.2 and FCP X 10.0.6.

OK. Can you tell me how you ingested the footage and what steps you took to get Optical Flow working?    It seems that other people on the web have the same problem as me and no one has a solution, so perhaps you can enlighten me
When I select a clip in the project, choose 50% and then choose Optical Flow, it goes through the motions (show it's analysing) but when it's done, and rendered, and I step through the frames one-by-one there are duplicate frames instead of new intermedia frames (just as if I hadn't selected Optical Flow).
If I export to a Prores file, import that back in and do the same thing it all works fine and there are new frames generated and no duplicate frames. So it's definately an XF100 / MXF problem.
So, please tell me how you got from a native XF100 file (same as I am using) to an Optical Flow version with NEW frames..... PLEASE!
