Compressor-creating files for powerpoint

I have been having a tough time getting compressor (2) to give me full size good-looking output clips that are readable and importable (not just as a hyperlink) by PowerPoint on a pc.
Does anyone have any favorite settings? The clips I am using are no longer that 8 min and need to fit onto a cd. So far I have tried MPEG4 (unreadable), H.264 (unreadable), MPEG1 (to small), and MPEG2. I think the MPEG 2 will play nicely with Powerpoint, but when I try exporting a trial clip they either have no audio, or they appear on my desktop as a blank page and cannot be opened by anything!
I am using a G4 desktop with final cut pro 5 and compressor 2. I also have just downloaded Streamclip if that is at all relevant.
Anyone got any ideas?

The issue here is the PC setup and version of Powerpoint.
I recently had exactly the same dilemma. The very latest Powerpoint will call Quicktime if you insert a quicktime movie and it's possible to download a public beta of the latest Quicktime for Windows which has H264 support.
Unfortunately the most 'universal' setting will however be a WMV file in the Windows Media 9 Professional setting at 640 X 480 pixels. It's easier to produce this on a PC.
Not great quality but passable.
Not a patch on H264 through Powerpoint on a mac.

Hello Anthes,
Please Check the things in following sequence :
1.Use latest SAPehpi, R3trans and tp versions.
2. users/group authorization issue and/or ownersip limitations (set 777) .Reboot the server to make sure, that the authorisations are updated and there is no lock on a file in the EHPI dir.Repeat the phase.
Folders where permissions should be 777 are Upgrade directory, Data Directory, Cofile directory and .../EPS/in.
3. Source file corruption can be ruled out by execution
R3trans -l /usr/sap/<SID>/..../abap/data/R-700BGINPLMWUI.SAP (The data file corresponding to the Package which is giving error). Check if this ends fine.
Note 2050
4. Confirm that your transport tool is 'healthy' by testing it in STMS. In SPAM in client 000 use the function Disassemble package and enter the package <Package name>.
5. Try to update the kernel if it not helps.

I have a new ipad and want to create files for my documents I brought over from my Mac. How do I create file folders?

I would like to create file folders for my documents I brought over to my ipad from my desktop Mac. I downloaded pages and neu.annotate. My files synced without a problem. PDF articles I put in neu.annotate and pages documents into pages but I would like to organize into folders like on my desktop. How can I do this on the ipad3?

Unlike a 'normal' computer the iPad doesn't have a file system and everything on it has to be stored/associated within an app, you can't have separate folders of documents/files on your iPad's homescreens. If the apps that you have support it then you could possibly use Dropbox to store your documents within a folder structure, but you'd then need internet access in order to access them.

Create file for export data from Essbase

I wish to create dynamically CalcScript for an unloading of the data from Essbase.
For this purpose I have created variables for each measurement.
How to create procedure for generate a file with my variables?
Thanks.

Hi,
There are a number of ways of doing this, you could use the odiOutFile tool and write your script into the text, replacing parts of the text with your ODI variables.
Or you can hold the script in say a db table or file and then create an interface to write a file, it should replace the variable text with your ODI variables if you declare them in a package.
Cheers

Is there a way to create file for ebooks and print?

Hi folks,
I have been looking around online for information on how (or even if it's possible) to set up book on InDesign that is suitable for producing a print-ready PDF and also being suitable for producing epub and/or mobi files for submission to Amazon, etc.
So my first question is whether or not it's technically possible (and efficient) to do that. I thought it would be great to have each book (with all its subdocuments) set up once, and from that I can produce the PDF I sent to the printers, and also product ebook files.
If it is possible, can anyone point me in the right direction for instruction (i.e. best practices, steps, etc.) for this?
So far what I am turning up online is info on how to set up a book for ebook product OR the usual info on how to set up books for print production. But I've not yet found anything that covers doing both at once.
Thank you

This is not an easy task, but if you plan beforehand, I think it's feasible to mantain a "master" file, both for print and ePUB. It really depends on the complexity of your layout. For already laid out docs, this could be a real problem.
Nonetheless, it's not a very efficient/scalable approach at all. There's no escape from heavily editing the ePUB XHTML code (and images) after export. Kindle files are another story, but you can generate them from your finished ePUB – with more code editing, of course.
Some links/docs to get you started:

Is there a way to have compressor create files without have the settings name as part of the file name?

It's very annoying to have to delete half of the file name each time. Is there a way to just have it pop out as whatever you want to title it and the file extension?

In Compressor 3 - Create a custom destination, where you want to save the compressed files.
Once it is created, click on the custom destination and look in the Inspector - you will see the Output Filename Template for the destination. Delete the "- Setting Name" so that it just says "Source Media Name".
Now apply this destination to your clips to be compressed.
In Compressor 4, I believe the default is just the file name, but you can modify it in the same way by using the inspector for your custom destination when you create a custom destination.

Converting QT to WMV files for PowerPoint presentation on PC

Hi All,
I have a client on a tight budget who wants to incorporate some talking heads into their Powerpoint presentation on their PC. I did a test with a full resolution Quicktime file but they could not play it.
My plan is to export as a Windows Media Player file but I'm not sure if there are any settings that I should be aware of before I deliver.
I am editing in DV 720 x 480. Can I keep this file size and just export at full quality?
I have both VisualHub and Flip4Mac software.
Thanks for your help.
Cheers,
Chris

Thanks for the reminder on the size, Jim.
quick question. I've done a test using the Flip4Mac preset - One pass VBR, Presentation (high) and the clips play fine of their PC. The client is happy, But, and this is a big but for me.... I can see some green leaking through around the heads. I have worked very hard on the key using the DVGarage plug-in and it's clean on my computer.
Is something happening during the conversion to wmv? The bitrate on the presentation preset is only 80 with a peak bit rate of 160, a far cry from the 1600k cbr that you suggested. I need to deliver today and I'm not sure if I should be experimenting too much at this stage, but, on the other hand, they will be using a projector.
I could really use some advice.
Cheers,
Chris

Creating files for digital cutters?

I am relatively new to Illustrator but have experience with other Adobe products such as Photoshop and Go Live... I am trying to create .svg files that can be used with my digital cutter (Silhouette SD) but I seem to be stumbling around with the process of creating the actual artwork. Ya know how Photoshop has the 'Flatten Layers' function? I need the equivalent of that but in Illustrator. the whole idea is that your finished work should be similiar to a silhouette image so that it will translate in the cutting environment. If anyone out there has experience with steps to "flatten" shapes into one image that will save as an .svg, I think that would be a step in the right direction for what I'm trying to do. Thanks in advance and I appreciate any help or suggestions. Thanks!

Why are you pursuing SVG? The user manual for your device's software doesn't even mention SVG as one of its importable formats.
Ya know how Photoshop has the 'Flatten Layers' function? I need the equivalent of that but in Illustrator.
It's not at all the same thing. Forget Photoshop. Illustrator and Photoshop are from different sides of the graphics world.
All a cutter does is follow vector paths. That's it. Whatever shape paths exist in your file, those are the cuts the knife is going to make. So you need to remove undesirable paths or portions of paths which "cut across" areas that should not be actually cut by the knife.
And you need to turn into actual paths things which merely appear to be paths. The most obvious example is a Stroke. Stroke weight is applied as a printing effect. It is applied to a single path; it does not consist of two parallel paths which define the outer edges of the stroke. So any such merely apparent "edges" that you want the cutter's knife to follow have to be turned into actual paths.
There are numerous features in Illustrator to help you do those things. Telling you specifically which ones to use depends on the specific artwork involved. But one of the most useful commands for this kind of thing is the Merge Pathfinder. Merge causes fills of separate, but same-colored overlapping paths to union into single paths. It also causes fills of separate different-colored objects to "punch" (subtract) each other where they overlap. Like all of Illustrator's Pathfinders, it does a pathetic job in handling strokes. So if your paths have strokes applied, first employ the Outline Stroke command from the Object menu.
To understand this:
1. RectangleTool: Draw a rectangle. Orange fill, thick blue stroke.
2. Ellipse Tool: Draw an ellipse. No fill, thick red stroke. Position this to only partially overlap the rectangle.
3. Line Tool: Draw a which crosses over both the circle and rectangle. Thick black stroke, no fill.
4. Select all. Click the Merge button in the Pathfinder palette. Look at the results. Note that strokes simply disappeared.
5. Undo.
6. Select all. Object>Path>OutlineStroke. Note that strokes are gone, having been replaced by paths which merely look like the strokes, but which are in fact closed and filled.
7. Select All. Click the Merge button in the Pathfinder palette. Ungroup the results. Move the resulting objects apart. Note that areas of overlap are gone. The paths have all been re-drawn so as to abutt each other, but not overlap.

How to extract data in order to create file for using program RFBIBL00?

Hi all!
In order to correct data in mass I need to select corresponding data (3000 FI documents) and extract these into a file in order to correct a field. This extract must having segment 1BKPF 2BSEG... the same file structure than in SXDA_TOOLS for FI documents.
Which program must I use in order to have the correct extract in order to use the standard program RFBIBL00 for creating FI document?
Must I create a specific program in order to create this file or only administrator can do this?
Thanks for your help!
David

Hi
RFBIBL00 is arranged on main strucuters BGR00 (for batcinput session data), BBKPF (for header data) and BBSEG (for item data).
Both structures BBKPF and BBSEG have to be filled, but only the fields have to be used or changed, the rest of the fields have to have the symbol for NO DATA, i.e /.
So there are no standard program can do it automatically, so it needs to creaste a program ad hoc....but it can use the Legacy System Migration Worbech (transaction LSMW) in order to do it,
so your problem can be really how to extract the data to be elaborated by LSMW, but you can do a simple query by se16 and download the result in a excel file

OAS Create File for Download with PL/SQL Pkg

On OAS 4.0.8.1, I am trying to create a PL/SQL DB Pkg to allow a WWW user to extract data from the DB and download it to their local workstation, for example, a class list of student names and ids in "tab-separated-values" format.
I think I have configured OAS and my browser to understand what to do with a MIME type of "TSV"s. I have issued the ora_util.mime_header to change the content type to "text/tab-separated-values", but all it does is send the header and the data to a WWW page. It appears that either the browser or the server does not recognize what to do with it, to prompt the browser to save the data (which is what I would like to have happen).
I am at my wit's end trying to figure out why it is not working. I have looked at all of the documentation I can lay my hands on, with no luck. Any suggestions, experiences, incantations?
Is what I am trying to do even reasonable? Is there a better way?

Workflow for creating files for online printing

I recently asked a question about making a copy of a file in Aperture 2 but am still unsure as to the best method to use. The original is cropped for posting to the web, and the duplicate is to be cropped for standard print sizes. I didn't quite get a clear answer, so I wanted to ask what other users' workflow is for preparing images for printing at an online site (I use adorama, which has an aperture plugin). In my case, my "ideal" crop, posted to a mobile me gallery, is not a standard size, but I do want the print to be a standard size. How do you keep the preferred crop for viewing online but change to a standard crop for printing?
Thanks,
John

size is mort important than format. I prefer PSD files, but png, tiff, tga, even jpeg if you do not need transparency. Just make them big enough that at some point in your composition they are scaled to 100%. IOW, if you are drawing full frame animation cells for HD they do not need to be any bigger than 1920 X 1080 pixels. If you are going to scale them up or move in on some details then the area you are going to be pushing in on needs to be 1980 X 1920.

Merge Excel cells when creating file for Background job

Hi Experts
I need to create an Excel document and within the excel sheet merge some cells, I can get that done via OLE.
My problem though comes in with... the Report needs to be scheduled as a background job and therefore OLE does not work!!!
Does any of you have another solution to merge cells while running in background??
Your thoughts are greatly appreciated.
Vic

Hi Vic,
You can use the xml transformations for formatting excel. For my case I needed multiple sheets including glossary sheet to be mailed in a particular format , which was achieved by using transformations.
       CALL TRANSFORMATION z_xls_xxx
            SOURCE table = i_tmp_b[]
            RESULT XML wa_xmlstr.
        TRY.
            cl_bcs_convert=>string_to_solix(
               EXPORTING
                 iv_string   = wa_xmlstr
               iv_codepage = '4103' "suitable for MS Excel, leave empty
                 iv_add_bom = 'X'     "for other doc types
               IMPORTING
                 et_solix = l_bin
                 ev_size   = l_size ).

Creating FCE files for Adobe Premier

I have miniDV videotapes of some corporate presentations that I need to provide in a format to a client so they can use it on their intranet.
In providing DVD's burned on my Panasonic consumer deck, they have not been able to get the media off the DVD's very effectively. All kinds of problems. Who knows what codec is used on this stuff? I suspect the problems lies therein.
Client is working with Adobe Premier to title and segment the training media, and to create files for their server., I suspect.
Can you suggest how I might be able to take my miniDV's and create them in a digital file format that would be compatible with their Adobe Premier? I only have Final Cut Express which I use to import taped media onto my hard disk. But if they were to provide me with an external drive, can I create compatible files using Final Cut Express that would work with Premier? What format would that be? (And FYI - I'm a Mac guy. They're probably PC.)

Thanks so much.
The standard def DVD's I've made have been straight from the camera into the DVD recorder. Recorded in SP mode using rca connections. New HD Canon XH-A1S camera I have does not have s-video connection for better video (thus RCA's), but that is neither here nor there.
Anyway, is QT, just plain simple QT? Or are there various QT formats that could be created for Premier using FCE (and which would be best)?

Tools to create a Flash 7 SWF file from Powerpoint for deployment to 4305G?

Hi there,
We are using
4305G DMPs running firmware 5.2.1
DMM 5.2.2
We have an internal customer who wishes to find a tool to create Flash 7 (or Cisco DMS compatible Flash SWF) files from Powerpoint to deploy to the DMPs. The customer is currently using a tool called iSpring to create Flash SWF files out of Powerpoint files, but this will not display through the DMPs running 5.2.1 firmware.
http://www.ispringsolutions.com/ispring_presenter_pro_now_ispring_pro.html
What other options are available?
The underlying business need is to reduce the time it takes to create presentations for deployment to the Digital Media Players.
Any advice much appreciated,
Regards,
Kathy

Not sure if this helps but I use Camtasia's powerpoint plugin to convert presentations that have animation into video files in either swf/flv or wmv format. For standalone powerpoint presentations that do not include animations I simply use a program called PPTools which allows me to export high quality images from my presentations without losing any quality.
