Can the Performance Detail reports be exported as PDF without the Detail Table?

We previously generated significant numbers of Performance Detail reports out of SCOM 2007 R2 as PDF files, and the 'Detail Table' did not show.
Now that we are on SCOM 2012 R2, the same reports show the 'Detail Table' when exported to PDF. We report on 6 to 12 months of data, so these tables are huge, and are also useless for our purposes.
Is there some way to suppress the Detail Table when exporting a Performance Detail report to PDF?

Please see if the method in the following post can meet your requirements:

Can the filename be printed on exported images?

I'm using LR 3.5, and am wondering if I can have the filenames show on the images when I export them. If so, how do I make that happen? I am already watermarking a copyright script, which I suppose I could change to include the image name, but that would be pretty tiresome to do. I assume there is an easy way to do this that I just haven't found. Thanks!

There is one native sort of alternative: You do not literally export the images, but print them to jpg in the Print module.
Select "Single image / Contact Sheet", set a watermark, maybe also an identity plate, plus tick the Photo Info and choose "Filename" (or "Caption" or "Title" instead for a slightly different use case).
Don't get confused: you need to choose a file name for the print-export, but the filename printed on each image will be the original one.

Can't attach or burn FCP exported files

When I try to export FCP 4.5 files using compressor and press "submit" the files dissapear and do not get exported.
When I export using Quicktime (MP4) -- I cannot attach the file to an email or burn it to disk.
When I try to burn to disk on CD in Toast the message "The drive reported an error: Sense Key = ILLEGAL REQUEST Sense Code = 0x21, 0x02 BUFFER UNDERRUN" comes up
Any ideas what is wrong?

Hi Lara,
It sounds like your having "Permission Issues". Try this:
1) Open "Disk Utility" (you'll find it in your Applications folder in the "Utilities" folder)
2) Select your hard drive in the left hand column, and click on "Repair Permissions"
See if that fixes the problem. In general, it is good to always do this after installing software as sometimes the software installer forgets to changes permissions back...
Hope this helps.

How to export with the background transparent.

Hi guys..
Usually I use primatte in motion... but Ive got a need for a feathered edge and fcp chromokey is better this time. Sometimes I put a solid colour on the lower layer and send this out, then primatte this again. How can I avoid this step and send out as image sequence tagas to motion, which supports transparent layer. Where is the background setting on fcp and can it be set to transparent?
This setting in motion is in preferences, but cant seem to find it in fcp.
I have also tried sending this keyed clip to motion... but it always crashes... with Pro media issues.... so trying to get around this.

Ive been trying too export as animation....
but I just keep getting the pro media crash... and fcp bombs out... maybe there is something wrong with the sequence, I originally imported. I will try again with ahnother problem, with another set of clips, and see if I can get it to work then... Tanks anyway. Maybe I have more than 1 problem here.

I filmed on a white background, can I change the background

Hi
I have filmed a short video in iMovie, with a white plain background behind me.
How can I change this background in iMovie?
Thanks.

You will need a 3rd party image editor that can seletively remove the background and let you create a transparent background png file. Maybe with a drop shadow (or not) something like this:
A photo of me during one of my therapy sessions. If you have Pages (part of iWork) you can also make transparent background images with the Alpha tool..

FCP export to "QuickTime Movie" distorts aspect ratio of all text, displays video correctly.

Hi you all,
My name is Alexander, I'm from Belgium.
I'm working on Final Cut Pro 6.0.6, on a MacBook Pro with a 2.53 GHz Intel Core 2 Duo Processor, running version 10.7.2 of Mac OS X (Lion).
I'm editing a 'making of' of a Flemish feature film. I shot this 35 minute documentary short with my own Canon HDV-camcorder (XH-A1). The Final Cut Pro-project is stored on an external hard drive (1 TB LaCie Minimus).
I've been doing exports to "QuickTime Movie" for years now, without any problems, but since a week or two, FCP started messing up the titles over the video - and the titles only. Their aspect ratio is messed up once exported, but they look just fine in the FCP Timeline (in Viewer, I can verify that the aspect ratio of the titles is always "0"). I'm trying to export this to "HDV - 720p25".
Here's a comparison between the two:
As you can see: the MOV has the titles' aspect ratio all weird, the upper one partly covering the lower one. All titles and text in the docu come out like this, but the video (and audio) is exported correctly.
Any ideas on how to solve this very annoying problem?
Many thanks!!
Alexander

Hi Studio X,
Thank you for your quick reply.
The producers of the film want to upload this making of-documentary on YouTube. Therefore, I need to give them a high-quality-mov with the least possible Megabites. My film has a 35 minute running time.
So I figured: Let's start with the 'smallest' high-quality FCP-export to begin with (HDV-720p25), and throw that one in Compressor, in order to end up with a 'small' but good looking H.264-MOV for YouTube.
But for some reason, those "HDV-720p25"-exports mess up the titles. And I can't figure out why.

Can the exported video from FCP X play in WMV?

(1) Can the exported video from FCP X play in WMV?
(2) If not, can I convert with the help of Compressor 4 to make it to play in WMV?

No to both. You need third party software to create WMV. Telestream has tools for this.

I would like to know the list of possible output (export) file codec from FCP X. For example, can I export in F4V or FLV format?

I would like to know the list of possible output (export) file codec from FCP X. For example, can I export in FLV format? Where do I find the list, which gives me all the details about it? Or is there only one output codec? Thanks

That's an excellent analogy. While FCP cannot export FLV. It is possible to do a very simple substitution. If you export a QuickTime movie using the .mov suffix with the H.264 codec, you can change it to FLV simply by changing the suffix to .flv. This is an acceptable format for Flash movies on most web sites, if that's where you're trying to go.

How can I get the background music from iMovie trailer, "Romance"to be used in another imovie?

Is there any way to download the background music from the iMovie trailer template "Romance" to be used in another iMovie of greater length than that of a trailer?

In addition to Tom's good advice, another method is to access the audio file in iMovie's package contents folder.
In Finder, in the Applications folder, right-click (or control-click) on iMovie.app and select Show Package Contents from the pop-up menu. Open the folder Contents>Resources. In that folder you will find components for each Trailer, including the soundtrack. The file you are seeking is named "SoundTrack - Romance.m4a".
Copy then paste the file to your Desktop (don't otherwise mess with items in package contents folders!). Open the file in QuickTime - it is titled "Love Story FC2". Opening the Inspector in QuickTime (Window>Show Movie Inspector) reveals it as AAC format. If you wish, as Tom indicated, you can Export the file from QuickTime in other sound formats, such as AIFF. If preferred, you can import either the AAC file or the converted file to iTunes (or other audio apps) for use as required.

Can I change the background color of the title " Knock Out" ?

Hello,
I am facing a problem with editing the title background, the original title background seems to be set as" transparent" or "black" , while I need it not to be black, but make it white or into any other color...
I tried to copy the title "Knock Out" and edit in Motion 5, added a triangle as big as the background and put it on the bottom, but seems it's not working with such method...
Then I tried to change the player background into white ( in the menu of prefernces) , it turned out to be white " sometimes" when I do a playback test... but when I export it into a quicktime movie, it remain the same black background... Anyone know how-to? Thanks in advance!

Hello, Andy
Thanks for your help, I tried to do the same thing, putting a custom generator underneath the title, but seems it's not working... I guess like what Tom said, it's transparent, and if I put a color underneath it, it became all white... like what I show on the photo
The problem is that this method helps for any other titles, but not for the title" Knock Out", coz when we put knock out on our film, the text color will be all depends on your film, and placing a custom background to it will end up the text beccoming the exact same color of the custom background... but what I need is to keep the text transparent as what it was, so that i can show the film thru the text... at the same time, the background should be white... Any ideas? It's bugging me:(
Thanks for help anyway!
The first photo was putting a custom background, but it showed up all white
The seconf one was what I need, but all I can do is change the payer background to white... and it end up the same black background when I export it...

Is there and ipad app that allows you to record and edit audio, but can record in the background? This would be to record voiceover auditions/podcasts while reading a script

Hi wondering if anyone might be able to help me out. I am an audio engineer and my wife is a voiceover artist. We just got the ipad thinking she could record her voiceover auditions on the go, but we can't for the life of us figure out how to record audio while reading a script off of her email.
Looking for an app that:
Either can record audio while in the background (garageband cannot)
OR Import text (copy paste I guess?) to read while recording
The app needs to be able to edit audio and export or email out an MP3 - by edit audio I mean trim, fades, and move around sections.
Anyone have any thoughts on how to do this? I have been looking around the web for answers for hours and can't find any. Thanks in advance for your help.

Hi- I've done a lot of research in this area and actually am just finishing a book on this subject which will soon be in the iBookstore.
The best app is TwistedWave. It allows easy editing and recording, and also allows you record while you are in another app (such as a script your agent sent in your email)
I recommend MiC by Apogee as your microphone, available at the Apple store.
My book which goes in depth in how to get the best sound as well as how to edit is called:
iVoiceover
Super. Simple. Recording.
I'll post here when it's live in the iBookstore!
