Clip duration way off compared to original file

I have looked around like crazy and I am resorting to posting something about it.
I am using Premiere Elements, getting media from WDM device in Premiere with a VCR attached to a TV tuner card. Premiere sees and records the video no issue. The organizer and every program under the sun see's a 48 minute .avi file.
The problem occurs when I send it to Premiere Elements it only sees it as being 2 minutes and 30 seconds long.
Clearly this a Duration Flag issue in which premiere sees the wrong duration, but how do I fix this?
I have seen several posts in this regards, but no one has posted a true fix. I have found that I can import it into Windows Movie Maker and export it as a .wmv, but that is another step that I dont really want to have to take with every VHS that I record.
Anyone have any ideas?
Thanks in advance.

Hi, omega7441. Premiere Elements has its own forum, which is here:
http://forums.adobe.com/community/premiere_elements
and you'll usually get better answers to video questions if you post there.
Good luck!

Is there a way to compare two .itl files?

I recently uninstalled and reinstalled iTunes on my Vista machine. I then re-imported all by music, which resulted in a new .itl file. I then realized I could use my old .itl file and preserve some data, such as date added, play count, etc. I notice, however, that the new .itl file says that there are seven more items in the library than were in the old one (out of over 11,000 items). I am curious as to what these 11 items are, since I didn't make any additions to the library between the date of the old .itl file and the new one (they both have the same date stamp, in fact, though the new one is several hours newer than the old one). Is there any way to compare these .itl files and see what the additional items are? Thanks.

You have to do it on a field-by-field basis in a formula using the Previous() function. However, you cannot "nest" calls to either Previous() or Next() - in other words, you can't do something like Previous(Previous(<some field>)) You'll also need to look at OnFirstRecord and/or PreviousIsNull() to work with data on the first row of the report.

Explain plan cardinallity is way off compared to actual rows being returned

Database version 11.2.0.3
We have a small but rapidly growing datawarehouse which has OBIEE as its front end reporting tool. Our DBA has set up a automatic stats gathering method in OEM and we can see that it run and gathers stats on stale objects on a regular basis. So we know the statistics are upto date.
In checking some slow queries I can see that the cardinality being reported in explain plans is way off compared to what is actually being returned.
For example the actual number of rows returned are 8000 but the cardinality estimate is > 300,000.
Now as per an Oracle White paper(The Oracle Optimizer Explain the Explain Plan) having "multiple single column predicates on a single table" can affect cardinality estimates and in case of our query that is true. Here is the "WHERE Clause section" of the query

SQL>So my question is if, cardinality estimates are way off, is that an indicator that the explain plans being generated are sub-optimal?
Can you provide me with some tips or links to blog post or books on how I approach tuning such queries where cardinalities are not good?
Edited by: qqq on Apr 7, 2013 2:27 PM

As already asked in your other thread:
Please see the FAQ for how to post a tuning request and the information that you need to provide.
Part of that information is:
1. DDL for the table and indexes
2. The query being used
3. row counts for the table and for the predicates used in the query
4. info about stats. You did update the table and index stats didn't you?
5. The 'actual' execution plans.
An explain plan just shows what Oracle 'thinks' it is going to do. The actual plans show what Oracle actually 'did' do. Just because Oracle expected to save doesn't mean the savings were actually achieved.
When you post the plans use on the line before and on the line after to preserve formatting.
Your partial code is virtually unusable because of the missing conditions in the predicates. You need to use '!=' for 'not equals' if that's what those missing conditions are.
Please edit your post to use code tags, add the missing conditions and provide the other information needed for a tuning request.

Is there a way to easily locate original files in iTunes after moving everything to an external harddrive?

I recently moved my itunes folder (everything including library and music folders) from my computer harddrive to an external harddrive. I was able to find the library and it opens, but the music (all 7000+ songs) gives me this error. "The song “Beautiful People” could not be used because the original file could not be found. Would you like to locate it?" I know I cannot go and hand pick each artist folder and song, but this would take me forever! I have also changed the location via the preferences. I know all my music is in my folder on the external drive, so is there a way to easily fix this?
My path looks like External drive--Music folder--iTunes folder...Inside this folder are hundreds of folders (every different musician has its own folder and if there are two or more cds by same artist they are within the artist's folder) and my itunes library files and my automatically added to itunes folder and several itbd folders etc.
Please help!

"including library and music folders) from my computer"
Did you move the entire iTunes folder the hold Option, select Choose library and select the iTunes folder you moved?

Easy Way To Change The Original File Name??

I store all my music and videos on iTunes. I just got a AT&T Tilt and I have to use WMP to sync to it. I can't drag and drop iTunes playlists into my media card cause my Tilt uses Windows.
My main problem with WMP is even though I edit the song/video name, it still syncs over the original file name. If I change the original file name for WMP then I have to rename it for iTunes cause when I go back to iTunes to play the song/video, it says the file is missing. It's a pain
For example, in my iTunes music foler in My Music, I have a song file named Britney_Pieceofme.mp3. I edit the name of the song and artist to Britney Spears Piece Of Me but when I sync it to my phone, the original file name appears.
Thanks!

I think you may need to "look" into the song to see what information is contained in the mp3 tag. WMP automatically sees that information and will store the song at the name in the tag. To solve your problem, you will need an mp3 tag editor (google search) where you can change the tags on your songs, then put them on your Tilt. I think/hope this solves your problem.

Any way to keep original file name as image name for web gallery?

Hi,
I wonder if there is any way to keep the original file name as image name for a web gallery (instead of "picture-1.jpg)
People often send us the thumbnails or the image from the web and we have to search forever to find the image in AP - if we could keep our original filename then this would be a second away.
Hope somebody has an idea
thanks

Hi William,
I finally had time to play - unfortunately it does
not work the way you described above.
I´m just exporting a set of images using the "Stock
Black" Theme - marked name only - batched the
filename to masterfile - but the actual picture names
are still "picture-1.jpg" - "picture-2.jpg".
did I miss anything? thanks
I see what you want, you don't care about the screen name so much but want the generated file names to be the same as the version names. From earlier messages though I am not quite sure why this is a problem, since you said other people were picking the images they wanted - say Image1 and 23 and 8. That to me says those people are going through the directory using Finder or Explorer, not using the HTML.
Is it the case you are giving people web galleries on CD? If so, then perhaps also export a "browse" directory with exported images using the version names, so that people can use the right name.
Or perhaps it's the case that people are downloading the images from the web, and then using the downloaded file names to send you requests. I'm not sure how to fix this yet and do not know if 1.1 offers something for this.

Itunes deleting music on ipod because the original file culd not be found

The music on my ipod is being deleted when i start syncing my music from iTunes to my ipod. The thing is all the music on my ipod is still on Itunes. This started happening recently, it was all fine before.Since the original file cant be found on Itunes how do you stop it from deleting off your ipod?
Also could it be a problem since my music is stored on a separate hard drive, maybe thats why the original file cant be found, even though its still connected to the computer.
If it cant be fixed then is there an easy way to find the original files so the i wont have to find the "lost" files then delete them and sync them over again.
Could it be deleting the files off my ipod because half the songs on Itunes "could not find the original file" even though the songs are on my ipod already?

I use manual sync for that very reason.
And also for that very reason, I maintain my iTunes folder on my laptop as a backup for my iPod; I only delete "songs" when I want to remove them from my iPod, and I use auto sync because I can. If I ever have to restore (and I did once, when I had to have my iPod replaced), I know I can do a complete job of it.
(Should my iPod files exceed the capacity of my laptop hard disk, I'll probably switch to using a folder on an external drive for this purpose.)

"original file could not be found" message

In my itunes library, I used to get an option to “clear” a song if I right clicked it. Now there is only “copy.”
So to remove the song, I opted for the “show song file” and then manually deleted it from the folder.
However, the file is still there, or at least the phantom version of it, in my library. And when I click it “I get "original file could not be found" message.
How do I properly remove the song from the library?
And how do I get rid off that annoying “"original file could not be found" message”?
Any help is greatly appreciated.
Thanks.

Oh. OOps, I was posting to the wrong thread.
About your problem:
Make sure you are in the Library, not a (smart) playlist. Select "Library" from the top of source list (the list on the left of the screen).
Did this do it?

Itunes cannot locate the original file

The majority of my itunes library has little exclamation marks next to the songs, and whenever I click to play the song, a pop-up states "The song "name of song" could not be used because the original file cannot be found. Would you like to locate it?" and if I press yes, then I have to go into my music and then search for it. I was wondering why it says that after years of having itunes and most importantly if there was an easier/less time consuming way to locate the original files to play my songs.

Hi, shopper2472.
The exclamation marks (and the accompanying note) inidicate the files aren't located where iTunes expects them to be. This is most often happens when the files have either been deleted or moved to a different location.
If they have been moved, the best solution is to get them back where they were in the first place. iTunes will be able to find them again - happy ending.
Sometimes though, it seems iTunes loses track of files for no apparent reason. In this case, your only alternative - other than finding them one by one and letting iTunes know - would be to start a new iTunes library all over again.
Regrettably, this method loses playlists and related information (Ratings, Play Counts, Dates Last Played, etc.) If that's not a deal-breaker for you, delete the current entries in your Library by highlighting them - iTunes File menu > Select All - and then right-clicking > Delete . You remove the entries from your Library but keep the files themselves in your iTunes Music folder, assuming that's where they are in the first place.
You can then add them back into your Library by selecting the iTunes Music folder in Windows Explorer and dragging it into the Library entry in the iTunes Source List (left-hand column).

Any way to take a subclip & generate a new original file of subclip's length without recapturing?

When I CAPTURE a large length of footage (say 30 mins) and then I import this footage into my Pr Pro CS 5 Project, I will typically extract a section of that footage into the timeline using the Source Monitor. I will throughout an edit end up using multiple portions (subclips) of this original footage. Sometimes I will make specific subliclips, sometimes I will just use different instances in the timeline of different lengths.
What I would like to be able to easily do is to then create a new original file for each edited clip so that each piece is not referencing the same full portion of the originally captured footage. I am trying to create smaller files that are referenced.
In other words, I guess you could say that I am looking for a way to "capture" in reverse? Rather than having to go back and recapture just that portion that is now edited as a subclip, is there any way to do this easily in reverse?
It would be ideal if there was a command that took your subclip and simply created a new original file that was now simply the length of your final edited clip or piece in the time line.
I am trying to reduce the size of the original file having to be referenced by Premiere Pro each time to speed up the editing process, but without having to go back and redo the capturing process.

You didn't indicate what sort of footage you're working with, but depending on what it is, you could use the Project Manager to create trimmed clips and a new project file that references those trimmed clips. You could then delete the original media after confirming that what you wanted has actually happened.
Go to Project > Project Manager, select your relevant sequences, and the Create New Trimmed Project option. You want to tick the Exclude Unused Clips option, and set the Handles option as you'd like; this controls how much media is available before the in point and after the out point of each clip. When you've set your options you can click the Calculate button to get a rough idea of how much storage space you'll be saving. Pick your destination and let the process work.
Note that this will only work with certain types of media; for example, MPEG-based assets will just be copied as they cannot be cleanly trimmed due to their interframe nature. Read Adobe Premiere Pro CS5 * Archiving and Adobe Premiere Pro CS5 * Trim or copy your project for more details.

Quickest way to change speed but not clip duration

I'm trying to determine the fastest method for changing the speed
of a clip already in the timeline, but not the clips duration. Primarily, slowing a clip down.
The best I've come up with so far is to put the timeline playhead over the
clip and hit X to get the clips IN and OUT points placed in the timeline. Then,
drag the clip into the Browser, effectively making a copy of it there. Then bring the clip into the Viewer, then hit APPLE J to bring up the speed change window, affect the change, then overwrite the change you've made in the viewer back down into the timeline where you placed the original IN and OUTS. Seems like alot of step.
Is there a faster way? Any change I try to make in the timeline itself results
in a clip duration change. The only other way I've found it to use the time remap tool put that is even more complicated and is alot less exact when trying to make something, say, 50% slower.
Any input would be appreciated.

Another, close but not quite there method I've tried is the TIME REMAP tool
that lives with the SLIP AND SLIDE.
I can affect speed changes, and see what percentage speed change I'm
trying to make, but it wants to change speed on both the left and right side
of the clip. In other words, I can't place the timeline playhead or Time remap tool at the beginning or end of the clip and only effect the speed of the entire
clip unless there is no clip adjacent to the clip I'm trying to change.
Otherwise it changes the speed as I want for 99% of the clip and then during
the last several frames I've accidentally sped up up those frames. I can't position it to just change the speed for the entire clip.

Is there a way to restore missing lightroom files without the original files?

I am currently trying to reedit some old work, unfortunately, I lost the memory card with all the original files, is there a way I can restore the files in LR without the originals? I figure since the program still has some of the data and can show us a preview of the images, there should be a way around this.

I assume you copied the original memory card files to HDD during import into LR. Did you later move the files or the containing folder to another location from outside LR and now they are missing?

Hi I shoot on a canon 5d mk11 and I record my audio on an external device yet when I open up my footage in final cut pro x I can't find my external audio files only the ones attached to the clip which are off the camera mic

I shoot on a canon 5d mk11 and I record my audio on an external device yet when I open up my footage in final cut pro x I can't find my external audio files only the ones attached to the clip which are off the camera mic

What device?
What format?
How are you importing it?
Can you find the external audio with Finder?
Where is your destination file when you import it?
