Clip Notes timecode issues

When I export a portion of the timeline as a Clip Note, the PDF viewer always shows the starting frame as 00. When I import the Clip Note comments, the comments appear but always referenced to the first frame of the sequence and not to the portion of the sequence I exported.
Any ideas, or is this just a bug?

I'm using Vista 64.
I was having the same problem with the transport controls not showing up.
I set AcroRd32.exe to run in XP mode and that fixed the problem with the embedded movie file.
Transport controls show up.
Thanks.
I hoped that would also fix the QT streaming problem.
However, if I select "Streaming" and upload it to my server then when the Clip Notes tries to play the file it says "
This happened also before I set AcroRd32 to XP mode.
No problem with "Clip Notes Windows Media" format. It uploads and plays fine.
The .mov file is on the server. I can play it fine in a browser.
Any ideas why Adobe Reader won't play a streaming .mov file in Clip Notes, but will play a streaming .wmv file?
You really need to use QT so you can scrub the timeline.
.wmv files don't let you scrub!
Adobe why haven't you after all these years made Clip Notes use flash?
If you did it would truly be cross-platform.
Thanks.

Adobe Clip Notes picking up random words and timecode markers from speech transcription metadata

I've been experimenting with the speech transcription feature in Premiere CS4 - sometimes my results are good, sometimes not. Regardless, after I'm finished editing my project and export it via Adobe Clip Notes for client review, the clip notes file has hundreds of random words from the speech transcription already time stamped in the PDF. The only way to remove them seems to be going through the PDF document and deleting them one by one. There are no markers visible in the Premiere timeline or anywhere else before I export the file. I would go back and delete the entire transcription from the metadata panel in Premiere, but there doesn't seem to be any way to do a bulk delete.
Anyone else run into this problem?
Thanks!
Ed
P.S. I'm all up to date as far as software is concerned.

I have a very similar issue,,, analysis text field is always empty
I tried with avi files, with mp3... same result...
I am using c5.5 but also tried a trial CC with the same outcome.
very strange

Clip Notes doens't work in Reader 9??

I read online that Clip Notes doesn't work with Reader 9?! Maybe that's why I and my clients have been having problems as of late with Clip Notes?
So I found an Adobe link for Reader 8.12 and tried to download it but it defaults to downloading 9. This really sucks Adobe. I'm not upgrading until the new year. What exactly am I supposed to do now? This is part of our workflow and now it doesn't exactly flow.
Btw- I'm on Mac, OSX 10.5.5, CS3. I'm dual booting and on the Windows side with Reader 9, can't view a clip notes PDF. On the Mac side, I can open the ClipNotes pdf and see and hear video but the timecode is screwed up and get an error message that "you can't save this form", etc.

I agree with Jim as to the bottom line for CS3 current workflow/workarounds. However:
The problem is not the development of CS3 but the development of the Acrobat Reader
My understanding is that the issue is indeed with CS3. Reader 9 closed certain security holes, which is why it no longer plays Clip Notes files. CS3 would have to be updated to create files that are compatible. But like I said, that's not likely to ever happen.
When the same company (Adobe reader/Adobe Premiere/clipnotes) makes changes in one area that break an important/promoted feature in another product, they should fix the broken product. CS3 should have kept its promised functionality in the supported operating systems.

Imovie 11 timecode issue DV tape import

Hi all,
I am having an issue with importing a DV tape of my Sony Recorder, as it skips several scenes. I have been investigating and it seems I have Timecode issue with the DV tape, It states in several forums that I have to deselect the option to "import as individual clips". However I am unable to locate this option . Can anybody help my out or give me another solution of how to solve the issue of skiping several scenes while importing?
I much Appreciate it.
Kind Regards,
WBCK

Hi
However I am unable to locate this option . Can anybody help my out or give me another solution of how to solve the issue of skiping several scenes while importing?
In iMovie 1 to HD6 - this can be selected in iMovie Pref (Settings)
in iMovie'08 to 11 - I have not found it at all !
And if the final product is a DVD - then using iMovie HD6 - WILL RESULT in the BEST POSSIBLE DVD !
As it can (opposed to iMovie'08 to 11) deliver max quality over to iDVD - and as DVDs are as standard Interlaced SD-Video - keeping this from the miniDV tape to the final DVD will Guarantee the best quality possible.
Alt. to get it in without time code
1. Use a miniDV Camera - analog out - A/D-box - FireWire in to Mac
or
2. Make a miniDV tape Copy. From Camera A - via FireWire - to Camera B - BUT TO GET THIS OK - the new tape must be DUMMY RECORDED - full tape out.
Just set one Camera to record it with just about anything (a wall or other not interesting) - and the full 62 minutes !
Then re-wind it and now record the copy onto it - THIS TO GET ONE UNBROKEN TIMECODE
This also needs a 4-pin to 4-pin FireWire Cable - BUT will give an unbroken miniDV tape Copy.
• USING A CLEANING miniDV tape - from time to time - is also a good strategy to keep broken timecodes to a minimum.
• SO ALSO - Recording the full tape before - Viewing (rewinding) it or even WORSE - unloading it (DON'T DO IT).
Some Cameras has a FIND END of Recording - to take up recording next sequence without any code breaks - Use it - My Cameras has it and one can do this to 100% if tape has not been unloaded. One perfectly the other I need to back a few frames - to get it to work.

Adobe Clip Notes in Acrobat Reader Not Working

I am having an issue with acrobat reader not processing the clip notes correctly. In Acrobat Reader 9.1 the clip notes do not process and save with the time line. All notes are placed in one box and are not saved intividually with the time line code. The export option button is there but does not work. This is happening not only for my customer but for me as well using a computer with only Acrobat Reader installed.. (9.1)
So there seems to be an issue with Acrobat Reader and clip notes... It works fine on my system with Acrobat Pro installed but from my understaning, it should work with Acrobat Reader as well..
Any help would be appreciated.. I lost my connection to support.. I was on the phone and it went dead and no one has called back yet..
I am using all CS4 producst (Master Collection) So this is being exported to .pdf by Premier Pro CS4

I am having this problem with a slew of users as well. I have followed all of the steps in Adobe KB article 405461 and while one solution in this resolve the problem (using reader as a helper program instead of opening PDF files directly within the browser) with the error message it caused problems with other web applications that we use. Has anyone else figured out how to get Adobe reader to work within IE? I have to think there was something included in the last batch of Windows Updates because it was working fine prior to that.
Thanks.

Clip Notes in CS4: questions about streaming

I've used Clip Notes before with small, embedded files, but this is my first time with a large video that I want to stream on a server. Maybe someone can answer a few questions:
Where do I name the movie file? The export dialog only has a place to name the PDF.
How does the URL setting work? The documentation simply says "This is where your video file is located" but that puts the cart before the horse. How can I specify the name and location of a movie that hasn't been created yet and for which I have no control over the name? The FTP feature works great, but it's for upload only, not for naming.
After exporting the movie and PDF, is there a way to re-generate the PDF w/o having to re-export the movie? I realized I wanted to make some changes to the PDF only (like instructions and URL), and exporting another movie will take time that isn't necessary.
I learned here earlier that only the QuickTime option will provide player controls. But a big .mov requres a streaming server, which I don't have. The .wmv option has the opposite problem. Does anyone know of a workaround (or other method entirely) that will use Flash video? FLV or F4V will do progressive downloading with small file sizes for online viewing.

Where do I name the movie file? The export dialog only has a place to name the PDF.
The name you assign to the PDF is also assigned to the exported movie file, regardless of whether you use QT or WMV. So, if you set the name of the PDF in the Export Settings to "clipnotes.pdf", the video will be either "clipnotes.mov" or "clipnotes.wmv", depending on the format you've chosen.
How does the URL setting work? The documentation simply says "This is where your video file is located" but that puts the cart before the horse. How can I specify the name and location of a movie that hasn't been created yet and for which I have no control over the name? The FTP feature works great, but it's for upload only, not for naming.
See above. Since you now know what the filename will be, you just have to decide where the file will reside on your server, and input this into URL field. Using our example from above, you'd use enter something like "http://www.mysite.com/upload/clipnotes.mov". It's a full URL, with the "http://" needed; just change the pertinent details.
After exporting the movie and PDF, is there a way to re-generate the PDF w/o having to re-export the movie? I realized I wanted to make some changes to the PDF only (like instructions and URL), and exporting another movie will take time that isn't necessary.
Maybe, though I haven't tested this:
Trash the original PDF file.
Temporarily rename your originally-exported movie file, or move it to a different folder so that it's not overwritten.
Set your export range to one frame, using the same settings and same name that you did for your first export, and restart the export.
Throw away the new movie file, and rename the original or move it back to it's original folder. Since the only connection the PDF has to the movie file is the URL and filename, this should work.
I learned here earlier that only the QuickTime option will provide player controls. But a big .mov requres a streaming server, which I don't have. The .wmv option has the opposite problem. Does anyone know of a workaround (or other method entirely) that will use Flash video? FLV or F4V will do progressive downloading with small file sizes for online viewing.
I don't think you need a streaming server; I've tested QuickTime off a regular ol' HTTP server and it works fine. Incidentally, I should add, QuickTime streaming WASN'T working for me previously, at all. I just tried it out, and it would seem that a recent update to Adobe Reader might have fixed the issue. Streaming WMV always worked fine. Curious.
As far as Flash: are you talking about using Flash Video in ClipNotes, or just Flash Video viewing online, in general? At this time, ClipNotes is QuickTime or WMV only, but I wouldn't be suprised if Flash Video makes an appearance in ClipNotes CS5, given the whole focus on Flash in the Adobe ecosystem. If you're talking about general FLV playback, check out the JW FLV Media Player; it's an fairly simple-to-configure Flash Video player that can be embedded into a webpage.

Link to online web service or set up my own? Clip Notes Problems

I am looking for some kind of hard drive/server kit for hosting my own videos. I want send my clients links to their projects at certain stages, but not through YouTube. I have no idea how to set that up. I saw an ethernet/USB2/what-have-you Buffalo drive that I could supposedly serve from and store my archive files. Is that the way to go or is it better or more cost-effective to go with an online service?
By the way, I could not get Clip Notes to work. In fact, it crashed my computer (or Premiere anyway). I should be able send direct from the timeline, correct? It didn't do that. Instead I had to send it to myself first - save to hard drive, and then email it to whomever. I don't see how it could work anyway. I can't email a 20 MB or bigger PDF file, can I?

Running your own server would probably be much harder than setting up a page through a commercial-grade provider. First and foremost you would need to set up a server-class OS and webserver system (such as Apache running on a Linux kernel). Security becomes a big issue as you almost certainly *will* come under fire by bots looking for servers to infect. So, you'll need to learn Apache, setting up CGI, Perl and other scripts and firewalls to protect your investment. Then you still would need to set up a page with a secure entry shell to allow your clients in without letting others in (to protect NDA protected material and preventing other clients from "peering over your hsoulder" as it were).
Also, if you have internet provided by Comcast or Verizon (or similar end-user broadband), those plans *explicitly* disallow use as a server and they most likely would shut you down if they detected the presence of incoming HTTP routing on port 80, and doubly-so if you are running a commercial website for the benefit of your business. They have specific "enterprise class" broadband packages but they are typically more expensive (often twice as much as "home" packages) as they provide more consistent and reliable speeds and are usually synchronous rather than the typical end-user asynchronous broadband (ie end-user is 2Mbs down and 300Kbs up, where enterprise class would be 4Mbs down *and* up). The benefit being that people visiting your server are getting full speed *from* you as well as *to* you, and also they typically provide more robust mail packages.
Serving your own content from home is typically an expensive and extremely labor-intensive prospect, as you will almost certainly need to learn Linux/Unix as well as apache, and maybe also a robust FTP client and mail server. Serving from Windows XP or Vista is highly discouraged due to enormous security problems and downtime issues. Learning CGI, Perl and so forth is daunting at first and (if you're like me) you probably want to work on graphical content more than laboring over server duties and security details.
Subscribing to an enterprise-class hosting service can provide you with a robust, professional-looking website with almost no knowledge of HTML, CSS, Perl, CGI or other technology, and most provide a wide array of "extras" like secure password-protected content for individual users, CGI bins, mail hosting, extensive arrays of scripts to use (such as blogs, forums, online updating, user statistics, traffic analyses, etc) and many also provide simple tools for setting up your site with easy-to-use templates and so forth. I have used 1-and-1 hosting and they provide excellent service with highly-rated uptime and security as well as a ton of tools and software for site building. Typical packages for decently rated monthly bandwidth can be had for around $10 to $20 a month which is a fantastic value, compared to spending upwards of $100 a month for hosting your own server and the countless hours of set-up and daily maintenance.
Depending on the services you subscribe to with a provider, many probably have compatible systems for allowing you to publish directly to your website via common protocols and tools (using FTP or VPNs (virtual private network allowing for remotely mounted network drives)). You may need to do some research and homework, but the end result would be a very seamless work environment where you can share results with clients quickly and easily, and also allow them to comment, share notes and upload assetts for you to utilize if necessary.

PPCS4.1/4.2 / Adobe Clip Notes - QuickTime All Screwed Up

Ok, so I am trying to create an Adobe Clip Notes for a client to review. I've done this with CS3 in the past just fine.
My project is a P2 DVCPROHD 720p project, and when I export, I choose Adobe Clip Notes, and the "NTSC Widescreen Source to 1024kbps" preset. All I changed was setting the video option to "Stream", set the URL, and entered my e-mail address.
The preset shows that the video should be 854x480 pixels, but the rendered file is an 1139x480 pixel video. The image looks right but there are just giant black bars on the left and right of my video, not to mention the encoding looks like crap due to the wasted encoding space.
Mathmatically, this seems like a pixel aspect issue, where it is multiplying 854pixels by a 1.333 aspect... but there are no options for this in the Export settings.
I've tried changing the resolution and it seems that the numbers always keep the aspect even if the "link" button is off.
Help!
Any why the heck can't I use my Flash Media Server with Adobe Clip Notes? Doesn't it make more sense for Adobe to implement it's own product first?

Nope, just an Adobe made P2 DVCPRO HD 720p preset. The pixel aspect is 1.333.
I did get a 4x3 aspect once, and I had to leave the video set to embedded for that to work. Then I duplicated the export in AME, and changed only the video to stream and set a URL, and it was back to the crazy black bars on the sides. Trouble with the embedded is that I can't view the properties of the video.
I even created a NEW Adobe sequence and put only a graphic in it and it did the same thing. I then created a custom sequence that used square pixels and it did the same thing.
I gave up. I'm just going to have to forego Clip Notes and submit this to my Flash Media Server. I've spent too much time trying to figure this out when it should work out of the box. There seems to me more broke by moving the exporting to the new Adobe Media Encoder than keeping it in Premiere as with CS3.
Maybe I'll fiddle with it later, but for now I am on a deadline.

Clip Notes won't play/no controls

I export Adobe clip notes from Premeire Pro CS4 and when one tries to open with Adobe Reader 9 there are no player controls, so the video clip cannot be played. I am running Vista 64 bit. Does Adobe Reader 9 not work with clip notes?

You would think that Adobe might do us the courtesy of letting
Prelmiere Pro users know that Clip Notes aren't going to work anymore with Adobe
Reader 9.x or later. Adobe Tech Support seems to be clueless about the issue. Does one hand know what the other is doing?

Reader 9 - Clip Notes?

I have a client that downloaded Adobe Reader 9.0 and is unable to playback a Clip Note PDF created in Premiere CS3. They keep getting an error message: This document enables Reader capabilities that are no longer enables in this Reader version.
Any one else had this problem?

I downloaded Reader 9 to check this out.
I am able to play the Clip Notes video, but I have to click past an error message that says
>This document enables Reader capabilities that are no longer enables in this Reader version.
Edit: It looks like the user can no longer edit the file and save it. And the timecode is terribly broken. This means death to Clip Notes until fixed.

Clip notes with reader 9 and premiere cs4

After upgrading reader to version 9 clip notes no longer works from Premiere CS3. It does work with premiere CS4 but a modification to reader by the reviewer is required to view the clip notes. Otherwise the video play/rewind etc buttons will be missing. This modification is detailed here www.alserver.co.uk/clipnotesreadme.pdf.
I have discovered this after many hours of trial and error and have posted the workaround here for anyone else with the same problem. Adobe support have been as much use as a chocolate tea pot! why do they ruin such great feature of premiere.
If anyone knows of a better workaround then please advise.

...real-time playback works fine in other high-load editing programs, as in the 2-series version of Avid Media Composer (which, by the way, played back just fine on my GeForce card and CPU/RAM configuration.) I wanted to go to Premiere because of my other CS programs. That said, I'd like to take a different approach other than simply throwing money and horsepower at a problem that might simply be a configuration issue.
Thanks!

Adobe clip notes quicktime playback Win XP 64

Hello
Havng an issue and wondering if anyone has experinced similar problem. When I open adobe clip notes .pdf file in adobe reader (that I exported in PrPro CS4) on windows xp pro 64 bit- the video comes up but the little quicktime play bar with play, pause and stop does not show up- just black where the bar should be. Now I can click on the black and if I click in the correct areas (blindly) I can still pause and play and fast forward- but this is not a good option. When I play the same pdf in Windows XP pro 32 bit the quicktime bar works just fine. I have quicktime 7.6.4 installed on my XP pro 64 bit machine.
I can export to Windows media and that works with both XP 32 bit and 64 bit- but windows media player won't allow me to scrub the video forward and back like quicktime does
Any suggestions
Thanks
Tony

Clip notes no longer works with latest version of reader.

I understand that a security issue made Adobe upgrade Reader so that clip notes produced in Premiere CS3 would no longer play. This is a known issue. The fix is posted on this forum and it recommends upgrading to Premiere CS4. However I get the same problem as I did in Premiere CS3 i.e. clip notes is blocked by the latest version of Reader This has occured after spending a huge amount on the upgrade. Nice one Adobe what a con! I have tried to contact adobe customer support but I can not speek Punjabe and they can not speek English. What a waste of money!
Does anyone know of a fix.

Aaron,

Clip notes still busted

Hi,
I love the Clip Notes feature! It stands out among NLE's. However, it no longer appears to work when exporting from CS3 and opened in Reader 9. There have been a handful of posts about this in the last year, without any resolution. I am wondering if there can be any kind of definitive answer if this will ever get fixed in CS3. It appears to be a non-issue in CS4, but we should not have to upgrade to get this fix. And it's ridiculous to say we should ask our clients to revert to Reader 8 after they have Reader 9 installed. The whole point of Clip Notes is to make things simpler.
This is a very basic and important fix request.
Please help!
Brett

It is unlikely (read: impossible) that any more updates to CS3 will be
posted. Development of updates for CS4 is in full swing, and I suspect
that CS5 is also in work.
Reversion to Reader 8 is the only solution available. It is not a good
solution, since the gaping security holes in 8 were closed in 9, and
then closed again in 9 with a patch. Closing those security holes
disabled a lot of functionality in certain .pdf files, even among
Adobe's own apps.
