Capture Problems with DV using CS5 Prem on 2010 MacPro

Hi
I have the following
- 2010 Mac
- dual 6 core cpu model
- 48G
- 2 x Cav black 2tb drives in stripe for scratch and a SSD for boot
- 5870 primary card and gt120 as a secondary
I am trying to import a bunch of old DV tapes on a Panasonic NV-MX300 camera via Firewire (i do have a 400 to 800 firewire converter). Although there isnt a definition for this camera in the CS5 config it looks to pick up the essence ie standard dv etc.
When I import a tape it starts up ok but being an older unit et al playback glitches every now and then (slight pixelation etc). The timecode looks to be intact from start to finish. The problem is when premier encounters a slight glitch it stops the capture.....so I have to then kick off recording for a new clip where it left off etc etc etc. I have deselected things like stopping on dropped frame etc.
Now if I use iMovie to do the import it goes through no problems even with the same glitches being there.
Is there a setting Im missing, is it CS5 being overly sensitive?
Thanks in advance.
Jim

Hi Jim, frustrating is the right word. Currently I've reverted to
capturing on our old Canopus card and then bringing the AVI file into
CS5. Technology...
tx for your response - I will let you know if I get an answer.

Problems with Mpeg2 using CS5

Hi there
I am having problems with Mpeg2s.
The sequence preset is HDV 1080i25 (50i) and exported at 1440x1080i 25 High Quality.
When I encode my video and play it back on Windows Media Player or Realplayer at certain points the sound crackles and then a couple of frames jump. I have encoded it a few times and it often happens around the same place each time. If I only encode a certain section of it the jump still occurs but at a different point. Sometimes it happens more than at others.
I encoded enough instances of the video to stitch it back together on a new sequence and encode that without any of the jumps. When I imported all of the mpeg2s on to the sequence to do this the jumping wasn't happening at all when played out on Premiere Pro. Also it doesn't happen as obviously when played in Nero.
So basically I would like to know why there is only a problem when I play the Mpeg2s in Windows Media Player and Realplayer but not when I play them within a project in Premiere Pro CS5? Is it a problem that can be fixed in Premiere Pro or whether it is a problem with Windows and Realplayer?
It is all seriously puzzling to me. I will appreciate any help directed my way, I have seen this problem on other forums but no-one seems to have an answer.
Cheers.

I agree with Jim. Many experience similar issues in WMP, and I did not know that RealPlayer was still around.
I use VLC, or MediaPlayer Classic HC (both free), and find them much better than WMP, in almost all respects. There is a similar thread in the CS4 sub-forum, and it seems that WMP is the big culprit there.
Good luck, and let us know if VLC, GOM or MediaPlayer Classic HC do better jobs, playing the files.

Capturing Problem with Sony TRV330

Capturing problem with Sony digital8 trv330.
I recently purchased the above camcorder from eBay for capturing old 8mm/Hi8 tapes for editing purpose. The camcorder set to A/V -> DV OUT connected with Firewire to my Power G4 and the Easy Setup was DV-NTSC. The playback on the capture window looks OK except there were no timecode in the Timecode Duration Field and the Current Timecode Field (both shown 00:00:00:00) during playback but there was timedoce in the camcorder viewfinder. When I click the Capture Now button, the capturing window show up with message “waiting for timecode ….”. I have to click “esc” to stop the capturing operation. I trash the Preferences and Ran the Disk Utility without success. I also tried the Easy Setup with DV-NTSC DV Converter as well as DV-NTSC 32Khz, nothing work.
My set up is: Mac Power G4 version 10.5.5/ F.C.E. 4.0.1/ QT7.5.5/ Startup 160 GB-89 GB available/ Scratch 350GB-277GB available. Folks, I need help. Thanks everybody.

Hi, I have a similar problem. I am trying to digitize my 8mm tapes (via firewire) using final cut express (4.0.1). Using easy setup I use DV-NTSC DV Converter and do capture now. I transfer the entire tape but notice the audio is out of synch with the video. This problem gets worse throughout the transfer process. When I use the esc to complete the transfer I get the error " The audio sample rate of one or more of your captured media files does not match the sample rate on your source tape....." So after searching around it is recommended I change the audio sample rate to 32 kHz option. However, when I do this using easy setup and picking DV-NTSC 32kHz I cannot use capture now because I have no timecode and so the window comes up with the message "waiting for timecode". Since there is no timecode this option does not work. Any suggestions? Thanks, Dan

Problem with BAPI_CUSTOMER_CREATEFROMDATA1 using JCo on IDES
Hello everyone,
we are working on a student project and would like to create customers (debtors) in an SAP IDES system.
Using the ref-customer to copy from, and some personal-data below, we get the error message
'Internal error: External no.assignment for reference customer/customer'
We also tried with BAPI_CUSTOMER_GETINTNUMBER, and ACCOUNTGROUP ZINT (New Internet Customer, others won't work?). But CREATEFROMDATA1 takes no CustomerNo created this way, nor it wants to create one 'internal'?
Any suggestions? Thanks a lot for your help,

Hello Brian,
Thanks for your pointer. Actually The customer's reference number i was providing in the PI_COPYREFERENCE structure was a sold-to party customer and it uses external customer number assignment. When i used "New Internet Customer" (that doesnt use external assignment by default) as customer's account group, the customer was created successfully and assigned customer number was returned.
I want to ask now how could we give a customer number in the BAPI as i am unable to find any such column in any of the tables. (Customer number is an "out" parameter so it can only return the number of created customer). Secondly, how to chnage the external assignment property of a particular account group (like sold-to party). i.e, how could we change the account group configurations through SAP GUI??

Problem with the% deviation from Project Server 2010 field

hello
I have a problem with the% deviation from Project Server 2010 field.
Within a file or project, this project contains tasks.
Each task has completed the field% deviation.
Within the row "Summary" in the field of% deviation does not perform the sum of all fields of tasks.
Only occurs on certain projects, these projects have the view of PR Progress Report
Anyone know happens?
thank you very much

Hi
Sorry, I'll be more specific now.
Within the field% deviation. Your settings in PWA is:
The formula for field% Deviation:
Str (IIf ([Job baseline] = 0; IIf ([Working] = 0, 0, 100); IIf ([Working] = 0; -100; Int (100 * ([Job] - [Work Online base]) / [Working baseline])))) + "%"
Under the heading rows Calculation Summary:
> Use formula.
Within the field Allocation Calculation of rows:
> It is labeled the "Apply unless you manually specify".
The field [Job] and field [Job baseline] are fields Pack project server.
The error is in project, in the list of tasks.
In the top row, this row summary makes the sum of the ranks of the tasks of the file.
But in my case only in the summary field the same value appears in the tasks.
In all the cells in column% deviation appears the same value.
I hope it helps.
thank you very much

24F capture problem with CS5

I own a Canon HDV40 camera and I recorded video set at 24F. I chose the 1080/24p preset for my sequence. I now have several .mpeg clips. Each clip is a 60 minute tape.
When I try to move the clips to the timeline CS5 stops responding. Is there an issue with the 24F format and CS5? I do not see a preset specifically for 24F. I also do see any other discussions about 24F and CS5.
Please help I have 18 tapes shot in 24F and i am wondering if i screwed up choosing that format?
John

No, since this was a 3 camera shoot for starters I just captured 3-4 tapes to see how the workflow is going to work. I want to use the multicam feature to edit. I tried creating a new project and imorting the clips but CS5 "stops respoding". I import the, lets say clip1. Move it to the timeline, scrub up and down the timeline no apparent problem.
Then I import clip2, CS5 stops responding. I have used CS5 to capture and edit standard video with no problems. But this 24F footage is creating starnge anomalies. The computer was just built breand-new 4gb ram with a AMD phenom X2 processor TB's of storage.
I think it is related to the 24F format. I'm going to capture something in standard HDV to see what happens when I add it to the timeline.
Any sugesstions?

Problem With Brushes Pressure CS5

Hello all.
I'm using a Photoshop Cs5 with a Wacom Cintiq 12wx Tablet (I'm using PC with WinXP).
I'm having some problems withe the pressure, it doesn't work on Photoshop, (I tried it on CS3 & CS5), and I did clicked on the Tablet options in PS.
The pressure just don't responds.
I Think its becuse I can't change the Minimum Diameter in any Brush.
Plus when I change the Control part to Pen Pressure, a little warning sign is appering ( a triangel with an exclamation mark insaid ), how ever when I click on it [to see what the problem is ,nothing happens].
I have to point out that in the Cintiq Tablet Properties it's all fine, the pressure respond(in the meter)
I tried making a different settings for Photoshop, it didn't help. Can any one Pleas help me?

Usually, this is an issue with the wacom driver needing to be updated.
A few people have also found that the Windows tablet settings can also mess things up.

Exposure problem with Lightroom 4 CS5 and Raw 6.7

Hi all
I have recently upgraded from Lightroom 3.6 to the new Lightroom 4 and am genrally pretty happy with it, I tend to use it along with photoshop CS5 extended and also imagenomic Portraiture, but I have found an annoying little problem in doing this and something that I never suffered with when using Lightroom 3.6 and it is this...
when I take an image from Lightroom 4 and click Edit image in Photoshop CS5 and then use Imageonmic to soften skin etc all seems to work well I then carry out any touching up within Photoshop and once finished save it back to lightroom for any final tweaks etc which is fine and all works smoothly, except once I have saved it back to Lightroom the exposure has been pushed up about 3-4 stops at least , meaning I then have to pull it down again and this can sometimes result in extra editing I could do with out. now I know its not the end of the world and is probably just a bug that I'm hoping will be sorted within Lightroom 4 but I just wondered if anyone else has had a similar problem, is it a bug or am I doing something wrong? (although I'm doing the same with Lighroom 4 as i used to do with LIghtroom 3.6 and that worked fine)
Oh one more thing I should mention to get lightroom 4 and CS5 to work properly together I had to go into the Adobe Labs site and download the Camera RAW 6.7 software for CS5 so it could also be a bug here i guess.

There have been several posts over on the Lightroom forum, and other non-Adobe forums also, about this issue: it seems that there's a bug in ACR 6.7RC which causes the image to be over-expose, compared with the setting applied using PV2012 in LR. I guess this is the kind of thing a Release Candidate is supposed to flag up! I was all set to upgrade my own ACR to ensure that PS would recognise my LR4 edits (I normally avoid RC versions and wait for the final), but all the reports of this problem have stopped me from doing so.
In the meantime, best option so far as I'm aware is to process the image in LR (you get the option when you choose to edit in PS), meaning that it does all the rendering before passing it over to PS (otherwise, ACR handles the conversion of the raw file into TIFF). This does however mean that smart-objects and so on are temporarily out of the equation.
I'm sure this will all be resolved pretty soon.
Edit: in fact, one of the posts I mentioned is about ten posts down in this very forum: http://forums.adobe.com/thread/974963?tstart=0

Problem with MathType and CS5 due to InDesign

We publish Math and Science curriculum and we run into the problem below.
the second bullets is imported wrong in CS5. Is there a work around? (I also emailed Design Science). We'd rather use CS5 since all our other subjects are done in CS5 and we want to be able to use spanning across columns which does not exist in CS4.
The same happens when using MT Extra instead of Euclid Extra.

BTW, Jongware, I was a bit unfair about the fonts. You can sign up for the 30-day free trial of Mathtype and then you get the fonts. Furthermore, the strong implication is that you need not delete them after the trial period is over, and therefore you also can extract them from the installer for use like this with no compunctions (which is what I did). Source: MathType: Font Installers.
redesign: Moving right along, just like Jongware, when I open your CS4 document in CS4, I see the same behavior Jongware saw and the same behavior you saw in CS5 (which I also see in CS5), namely the goofy circle glyph (seems to be GID 64 and U+F069):
I did have to turn on high-resolution previews, though otherwise I got something else entirely.
I notice, however, that you seem to have authored this file using some 3rd party plugins:
Since that seems to be a math-related plugin, it doesn't seem inconceivable that it is part of the issue.
I suggest you disable it and re-test in CS4.
The font does seem a bit goofy...The goofy circle glyph appears in FontForge, as a ccwcontourcircle, but not in
standard Mac font apps, like TextEdit. It's also the 'i' position in the font.
I don't know enough about fonts to dig and really figure out why you get one character when it is first and another when it is second, but I really don't think this is InDesign. Oh, right, let's look at the EPS file in another program...
Curiously, Preview.app indeed shows the bullet glyph in the first position (and in the second).
Adobe Illustrator, which I opened by accident (ha!), shows ccwcontourcircles.
So it seems that Apple and Adobe's EPS renderers treat this font differently.
I suppose it might be an Adobe bug, but I'm more inclined to suspect its ambiguous... The way the ccwcontourcircle is encoded seems strange to me.
Well, I think that's enough for me. Basically, Jongware and I see consistent behavior with CS4 and CS5 — oh, actually. Are you using CS4 and CS5 on the same machine? Or on different machines? Because...I suspect this is handled by the AGM library, and it may well be that using CS4 on a machine with CS5 makes it use CS5's AGM library. But that might not be true at all, just speculation.
Anyhow, I'm not sure what Jongware's newfound Adobe Support optimism is based on. I suspect you'll hear from Design Science in the next day or two, and maybe from Adobe by September. But perhaps I am too pessimistic on Adobe Support right now.
I suppose making it consistently ccwcountour doesn't help you overmuch though. Hrmm.

Problems with Playback in CS5, CS4 (gotoAndPlay command)

I've encountered a really frustrating issue a couple times now throughout the past year, both in CS5 and CS4. I get to a certain point in a project where it just seems Flash does not want to cooperate anymore. It's difficult to even explain what the issue is because it doesn't seem to be triggered by one thing in particular, and often produces different results. It's almost as if the file becomes corrupted.
Here's what will happen:
*I will create symbols and place each one in its own frame on the main timeline, so that I can see them easily. The assets will usually contain animation inside the symbol. When I'm working on a particular symbol, I will put a gotoAndStop command on the first frame of the main timeline, pointing it to the symbol I want to test. So if I'm making a tea kettle, and have placed it on frame 4, I will put a "gotoAndStop(4);" command on the first frame.
*At a certain point, I will start having problems with test movies using this gotoAndStop method, even if I don't change any the scripting. Sometimes it will turn off layers that aren't supposed to be guides. Other times it will show me a blank frame. If I replace the gotoAndStop command with a stop command on the particular frame I want, my project will display correctly.
If it were a relatively small project, I would deal with it and test everything with the Stop command. However, this is a fairly big, complex project, and in my experience, this issue seems to contaminate other files that these assets are copied to.
*I've double checked the scripts inside of the symbol, which are all simple "stop();" or "gotoAndPlay("label");" commands, and there's no error showing up in the Output window.
*The most random things will trigger this problem. Sometimes, it's adding a shape tween to the symbol. Other times, I could turn off the background layer in the main timeline by making it a guide, and all my other layers would show up. But this background layer shouldn't affect anything, as it only has a "stop();" command inside. I was able to fix the problem once by saving the FLA as an Uncompressed Flash Document (xlf). When I opened the new file, it would play back correctly, but eventually, it'd break again.
I was having similar problems in CS4 on another project. In one case, we discovered we could fix the problem temporarily by deleting a single tiny line in one of the symbols. Eventually, it would pop up again, though. Another time, I could fix it by blowing away all the linkage identifiers, but that doesn't seem to be working this time.
It's very odd. Anyone have any ideas?

She didn't export it for CS4. If she had it wouldn't be an INDD file. She needs to export to IDML and you need to realize that this document may not look like it does in CS5.
You do need to upgrade if you want to work successfully with this other designer. Worth noting, in case you don't, is that you cannot upgrade individual components of the suite. Personally, I recommend Design Premium as the best bang for the buck.

Batch Capture Problem with 5D mark II

At the end of an event we normally copy all cards to the HDD, each card in a separate folder. We then point FCP at the card folders and use log & transfer to ingest the footage and transcode to ProRes 422.
Once all the footage is ingested we save the project and copy it from the Mac Pro to the iMac so that a second editor can work on it at the same time. Because the iMac doesn't have a RAID we set all the footage to 'offline' and use batch capture to recapture it all in ProRes Proxy.
So far so good.... that is with all the Panasonic HMC footage.... BUT we recently started shooting on the Canon 5D2 and 7D as well and this simply isn't working.
For some reason FCP recaptures all the Panasonic footage but refused to re-capture the Canon footage. I can see all the files in the L&T window but it never seems to equate the footage with the files I am trying to recapture.
HELP! What could be causing this? It's only a problem with the Canon footage.
Both MacPro and iMac are running identical versions of FCP and identical (latest) versions of the Canon L&T plug in ..... and YES we copied the entire CF card to a folder - just like we do with the Panasonic HMC stuff.

Hi Andy, compressor is current chugging away, so we'll get going for the edit I am sure. Only 600 more clips to go
I've tried everything I can think of in terms of recapturing. Even on the original Mac Pro that the footage came in to, if I copy the entire project folder (including the 'cards' folder) from one RAID to another it fails to recapture in the original project using the original codec (ProRes 422), but if I point it back to the original cards folder it works fine. It seems to be 'moving/copying' the cards that is causing the problems.
I've checked the dates and sizes on the copied files and they are all the same, and since recapturing to the original project at the original settings doesn't work once moved I am completely stumped....!

HDVD capture problems with a FX1

Hi,
I have a problem in that when I try to capture using the "now" button on the capture screen and let it run for say 60 seconds across a number of clips it only captures the last couple of seconds. I tried to then log a the same clip using in and out settings and it made 4 clips in the bin 3 of which showed red with the Off Line and 1 with the last couple of seconds. I think I have all setting correct on the Sony FX1 and am using the latest version of FCPHD 5.0.4 any ideas on how to solve this problem would be much appreciated.
Philip

Just in case anyone else has had the same problem, I have now cracked it. If, like me, you have a problem with importing HDV, here is how I solved it.
1. Go to http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?artnum=302337 for instruction on trashing Prefs and the Users folder.
2. Make sure you reset the scratch disc locations in the system prefs.
2. On the capture screen go to clip settings and uncheck create new clip on start stop. With this checked it seems that only the last few seconds of your import. I wonder if that is a problem everyone has?
It's taken a week to find this so I hope anyone with the same problem benefits from this.
HDV is amazing!

FME capture problems with new PC

Had FME 2.5 broadcasting live on old Win XP machine without
any problems (with various capture cards). Upgraded to new PC
(Vista, ATI Theatre 650 Pro Combo card w Dell media Xcelerator),
and have had nothing but problems:
1. Getting “The parameter is incorrect” error
messages every time I start FME or change the presets.
2. Audio only finds the “ATI AVStream Analog
Capture” device, not the soundcard/mic (even though a web
Flash encoder finds the mic fine).
3. Video Device (also ATI AVStream Analog Capture) only
captures in widescreen, not any other formats (even though card
supports them). Plus only 720x format options are shown and if I
try to scale above 720x240, it keeps same resolution and just fills
extra space with green screen.
4. Clicking on “Filters Properties” tab in video
device settings causes FME to crash. Other video settings tabs seem
to work fine (though audio device gives no settings other than
“board properties”).
Any suggestions? Can't seem to find anything that will help
correct these issues. Thx!!

Thx for the suggestion. I already had those drivers, but
tried the latest drivers from ATI and then reinstalled FME. That
corrected the green bar issue I listed in problem #2, and I can
resize to a smaller output now. However, the other 3 issues still
exist (parameter errors, does not discover mic/soundcard in audio
devices even though other programs do, filters properties causing
FME crashes). Plus I noticed that the audio "sample rate" selector
is blank, showing no options to choose. When I try to test encode,
I get an audio sampling error and it suggests trying another rate,
even though no rates are listed. Any other Ideas? Thx!!
Update - i figured out how to get the mic input to show in
devices, but the audio sample rate problem listed above is causing
all encoding to fail, no matter which audi source I use.

Photomerge problems with CS4 and CS5

I am having all kinds of sudden problems with Photomerge that I never had before (with CS4). I do very big files and have multiprocessor MacPro and 16 gigs of RAM and whether I use CS4 interactive or CS5 with the Ul plugin in 32 bit Photoshop is just crashing half way through the operations. I am very annoyed that the new CS5 does not have interactive in 64 bit as any automatic function almost never does the merge properly. But at the moment nothing is working with either Photoshop.
Any ideas and will Adobe implement interactive in photomerge in 64 bit? I am a professional doing large scale pieced-together murals and need the interactive mode and in 64 bit to utilize all the RAM and the ability of the architecture of the system.

Having a problem with creating/using a primary key on a view

I have a problem with a primary key on a view
I created the view and primary key as follows:
CREATE OR REPLACE FORCE VIEW "MDD"."ROCK_LU" ("DESCRIPTION",
UNIQUE ("DESCRIPTION") RELY DISABLE,
CONSTRAINT "ROCK_LU_PK" PRIMARY KEY ("DESCRIPTION") RELY DISABLE) AS
SELECT DESCRIPTION
FROM MRMC_LU
WHERE ROCK = 'T';
The view with the primary key appears to have been created as there were no error messages. (The above was from the sql tab in sql developer.)
When I try to create the foreign key on my mdd_hr table - I get an error
/* hr_name - foreign key */
ALTER TABLE mdd_hr add CONSTRAINT hr_name_fk FOREIGN KEY (hr_name) REFERENCES rock_lu(description);
Error report:
SQL Error: ORA-02270: no matching unique or primary key for this column-list.
When I lookup the index in sql developer, rock_lu_pk is not there.
All my other foreign keys work - but I don't understand what I am doing wrong with this one. Please help.
glenn
Background - as to why I want to use a view as a lookup table.
The MRMC_LU table that the view is created from is structured like:
DESCRIPTION - MINERAL - ROCK - MODIFIER - COMMODITY
ANHYDRITE - T - T - T
APLITE - T - - T
GRAPHITE - T - - - T
GREYWACKE - - T
DESCRIPTION is a list of all names of minerals, rocks, modifiers and commodities. T is entered in each valid field. Often a description name is used for both a mineral and a rock or a mineral and a commodity or any other combination. Because this database is just starting up, it was more efficient to create one table that could be updated (and thereby automatically update the MINERAL_LU, ROCK_LU, MODIFIER_LY, COMMODITY_LU views) rather than create and maintain four separate but similar tables. A primary key cannot be generated for the MRMC_LU table as there are nulls in each column
except DESCRIPTION.
Perhaps there is a smarter way to do this?

You can specify constraints on views and object views. You define the constraint at the view level using the out_of_line_constraint clause. You define the constraint as part of column or attribute specification using the inline_constraint clause after the appropriate alias.
Oracle does not enforce view constraints. However, operations on views are subject to the integrity constraints defined on the underlying base tables. This means that you can enforce constraints on views through constraints on base tables.
Restrictions on View Constraints
View constraints are a subset of table constraints and are subject to the following restrictions:
You can specify only unique, primary key, and foreign key constraints on views. However, you can define the view using the WITH CHECK OPTION clause, which is equivalent to specifying a check constraint for the view.
Because view constraints are not enforced directly, you cannot specify INITIALLY DEFERRED or DEFERRABLE.
View constraints are supported only in DISABLE NOVALIDATE mode. You must specify the keywords DISABLE NOVALIDATE when you declare the view constraint, and you cannot specify any other mode.
You cannot specify the using_index_clause, the exceptions_clause clause, or the ON DELETE clause of the references_clause.
You cannot define view constraints on attributes of an object column.
