Compressor is exporting clips that are too short in duration

Hi,
I am sending clips via FCP 7 into Compressor 3.5.
The problem is that the outputted clips are too short in duration.
Has anyone else had this problem?
I need to fix it quick!
Thanks,
Phil.

Hi, welcome to the forums.
It might be possible that you have set an IN and/or OUT point somewhere.
Double check and make sure that in FCP or Compressor Preview window you
do not have IN/OUT set on a selection of clips.

Can i share imovie theater clips that are too big for icloud?

I have transferred my old vhs tapes to .mov, edited them in iMovie, and added them to iMovie Theater (most of which are over 15mins so I know they can't be shared via icloud) and wish to gift these larger non icloud clips to my kids so they can add them to their own mac pro's. One child is in at home so I have access to his laptop, the other lives overseas with his mac pro.
Can this be done, and how?

With Yosemite you can use mailDrop for files up to 5 GB (Mail Drop limits - Apple Support). You can also use Dropbox or similar cloud services.

Editing a movie that was already cut together without transcoding .h264 footage to proresslt. I want to transcode full clips that are used in the edit, but not any of the leftovers.

Editing a movie that was already cut together without transcoding .h264 footage to proresslt. I want to transcode full clips that are used in the edit, but not any of the leftovers. Is there an efficient way to this?
I'm thinking I can convert the files with Compressor and place them in a new folder with their original file names (not sure how to get compressor to do this yet) and then do a major "Reconnect Clip" afterwards.
Not sure if there's a more efficient way to get all the clips in the timeline to compressor. I want the full files, not a sequence export. I can go through one clip and a time and add the master file. I'd rather not.
The more automated processes the better.
Thank you. I'm currently working so I don't have the time to scour the forums. Help or links to help would be greatly appreciated.

yeah Media reconnect can be an issue.
Will Media Manager convert files? Another thing I was thinking was to Media Manage the sequence out, copying all the used files to a new folder, and then running that through compressor. But it still leads to a massive reconnect. Fine tuning all those edits would be less involved than re-editing the whole thing, I hope.

VBScript - Identifying Rows that are too large for a page

I am trying to write a VBScript that will identify rows that are too large to fit on a page.
So far I have:
Sub IfRowIsTooBigBreakAcrossPage()
'Use to track number of tables in the document
Dim t As Integer
'Use to track number of rows in a Table
Dim r As Integer
'Get the number of tables in the document
t = ActiveDocument.Tables.Count
For i = 1 To t
'Get the number of rows in a table
r = ActiveDocument.Tables(i).Rows.Count
For n = 1 to r
If ActiveDocument.Tables(i).Rows(n).Height > 6 Then
Active Document.Tables(i).Rows(n).AllowBreakAcrossPages = True
End If
Next
Next
End Sub
I am having a hard time just getting this to run. This is meant to run on tables that have been exported from IBM Doors. I'm not sure if that [having been exported from Doors] is the issue or if I'm just missing something when it comes to the
Rows attributes.
Any help is appreciated!

Hi David,
I'm afraid that it is not the correct forum about this issue, since this forum is to discuss Visual Basic.
For some reason, I can't help you to move this case to Scripting forum, please feel free to open a new thread in that forum for better response:

Published pages are too short

I have set the "content height" to 3000px and it looks fine in iweb but when I publish them they are too short and are cutting off content. I'm using the photo page. If you want to check it out it's www.donnae.ca and one of the cut off pages is sculpturally functional/ misc vases & bowls. I have tried it on other machines... I've cleaned out caches ... help!

Thanks, I tried that and it didn't help. I even tried putting text at the end and it's still ending in the middle of the page.

L do not see an orange line in the browser for clips that are in the timeline. What do I do?

How do I get the orange line to show in the brewer for clips that are in the timeline. Mine doesn't show it.

I called Apple and said it is a glitch which caused me not able to see a registration key. They sent my $30 back so I will make another order of Quicktime Pro 7 to get registration key.

How to unglue clips that are stuck together in the timeline

I've looked everywhere, I'm sure it's there but I can not find how to "unglue" clips that are stuck together in the timeline. NOT break apart clip items, but get rid of those pesky things that attach the different levels of video together. And BTW what the heck are those little claws called?
Thank you so very very much in advance!

You can't move tracks. Everything in the timeline has to be connected to the primary storyline at some point. Each clip that's connected can be connected individually so it's free floating and the connection point can be moved anywhere you want, or the clips can be strung togother and connected at a single point. You can Opt-Cmd-click to change the connection to a new location, but it has to be connected somehow.

Disabling all movie clips that are on lower levels

Hello
I have a movie clip that pops up over all other movie clips.
But it is still possible to interact with these movie clips that
are beneath the mc that has popped up. Is there any way to disable
all of the movie clips that are beneath the one that popped up?
thanks

Typically the way to do this is simply create a large
invisible MovieClip which covers everything, and give it a an
interactive event. I often use:
on(rollOver){
useHandCursor = false;
This way not only does it steal interaction from anything
below it, it makes it so the cursor doesn't turn into a hand making
the user think there's something clickable.
You could also make a loop which checks getDepth() and if
it's below a specified depth, set enabled = false, but there's
really no reason in doing that.

Need to individually compress groups of clips that are partof same Seq

I'm doing a short video for the Amer Cancer Society which has both HD video and many SD jpegs.
There are 5 HD video clips, being placed within the jpegs.
I have completed the HD video editing but the 5 HD clips are on the same timeline, so are part of the same Segment (I probably should have made them each individual Segments). (These HD clips are actually edited groups of individual clips and I don't want to have to re-edit these.)
I want to compress and downscale these 5 HD clips individually to SD, and then place them within the SD jpegs in different locations on the timeline (The SD jpegs are a separate FCP Project).
I'm stuck trying to figure out how I can take these HD clips -which are part of the same Segment- and compress them individually. Once I am able do this then I want to import them into the SD jpeg Project for placement on that timeline.

In general, if am combining HD and SD media, I will do the entire project in HD.
All the effects and color correction will work better with more pixels.
If you have still images in SD resolution that are JPEGs, it's even
more important to get them out of that lossy codec first before you
do any processing or editing.
By doing everything in HD you end up with the best quality master.
Then you can export various SD or web deliverables as necessary.
Besides, it's quite possible that your client will change their mind
and ask for an HD deliverable, too!
If you really really really want to stay in SD on your timeline,
you can select a group of edited HD clips and choose
Sequence:Nest Items to change the resolution and group
them together so they look like one clip. If you want to
add effects to the nest, option-double-click to open
the nest in the Viewer.

Will Blurb correct images that are too light or too dark to print nicely?

I have two calibrated monitors and am submitting a book to Blurb. One monitor is brighter than the other--, that the images look fine on one and too dark on the other. I could changed the brightness, but how do I knwo which is correct for Blurb?what does Blurb see and do they correct images that are all too dark or too light?

Blurb does not correct anything in the uploaded pictures. This is stated clearly on their website; read up under <Color Management>.
It does not matter at all if your image looks fine on the monitor. What matters is if the color numbers of the image are correct. Blurb will print according to the color numbers.
The color numbers of your image will be displayed correctly on the monitor if it is properly calibrated to the industry standard of 6500 K and a gamma 0f 2.2 and if the intensity (brightness) of the monitor is set correctly.
Do this: calibrate both your monitors and set the target value for brightness (intensity) to a value between 100 - 110 cd/m2. This value is considered correct as it will give you prints that match the monitor in brightness.
The best test for checking for how images will look in a blurb book is this: Print the images as sRGB on your own printer. You can do this in two ways:
a) Export the image as JPG in sRGB in the size it will be printed. You can do this from the Book Module, Re-import it into Lr and print from Lr.
b) Don't export the image just print from Lr by selecting <Managed by printer> as the profile and set your printer to sRGB.

Stills imported are too short

My understanding is that stills are usually imported into iMovie at a length of 5 seconds, but mine are all coming in at 3 seconds or less - I have tried to figure this out but is there any way to set the duration of imported stills back to 4 or 5 seconds?
thanks in advance for any help.
also I am not working on my laptop, but a friend's G4 Tower - lots more storage space left on that.

Hi cmp31 - stills are imported at the duration last set in the photos pane. Thus to change this, import one photo, and change its duration to the length you want all of the rest to be. Then import the others.

Two clips that are overlaid creates white line when rendered

In Final Cut Pro 7, I have copied a clip on top of itself in the timeline.
- The clip on top was then moved to the right so that the clip below would be seen slightly ( I needed a way to scoot the subject over while preserving the background on the left side. It is a black and white image over a flush gray background).
- When the clips are renderd, a white vertical line appears between the two clips
- The white line remains when exporting, and remains when it is uploaded to vimeo
- I need it to be gone! It is not there before rendering the timeline, but appears afterward!!!

What happens if you crop the right image a bit more? Does the line show up?

Long files are too short

I'v met this problem a few times...
I'm working on a DVD authoring.
The film is 1hour40min long.
The audiofiles I got from the 5.1 mixing studio came chopped as 6 acts (for the cinema release) so each file is aprox 17 min each. Now I need to bring all these files into Logic to merge the acts into continuous clips.
Each file for each act begins with a reference tone and silence, and they overlap, so the last seconds of act 1 are also the begining of act 2, aso. So you understand I need to have a reference to sync these to.
So, I have the stereo file, which is one continuous file, covering the whole movie... it is 1 hour 40 min long.
When I load this file onto the arrange window it shows as an audiofile only 1 beat long! But there is no problem listening to the file... I hit play, and it plays the whole file, but however I tug, pull, try to expand the file to its actual length, it will only be 1 beat long, visually.
Why is this?
I need to zoom in so I can sync the 5.1 tracks both visually and audioally.

Hi Per,
Well, it wasn't so simple really... "Bug" wasn't my first thought. Actually, I thought I was doing something wrong, and it took a while to figure out that "it wasn't me, it was the program".
Out of sheer desperation I created the shorter region as I described (desperation is the mother of invention).
When it came to working on cues for the back half of the movie, I had to repeat this operation and make a region out of the back end. That's where things got tricky.
I would suggest that you take the following steps and see if this works for you:
1. Add the audio file to the arrange window (let's say it's called "QT Audio")
2. Click on an empty area of the Arrange window and open the Event Editor
3. Look for the item called "QT Audio", double click on the position value, type 1 0 0 0, Enter.
4. Open your movie, set your SMPTE start time and check sync (for this example, let's say that your time code starts at 01:00:00:00.00
5. Open the Audio Window for "QT Audio"
6. View = SMPTE
7. This step is very important: Look at your cue sheet and pick a point that's about 1/2 way through the movie where there is no music. This will be where you divide the audio file. Let's say that point is at 32 minutes.
8. Select a region that starts from the beginning and ends at 32 minutes, i.e., 01:32:00:00
8. Save that region as an audio file (call it "QT first half")
9. Now, use the Toggle Selection function to select everything from 01:32:00:00 to the end (call it "QT second half")
10. Save that region as another audio file
Now you have two smaller audio files that should display OK in the Arrange Window (unless the breakpoint is 32 minutes!). And if you start a new sequence/song for the cues after 32 minutes you have a 2nd-half audio file that starts at a known point.

Conversions in Adobe Media Converter are too short

I've been trying to convert dvd videos to wmv's. Every video I try only shows that it's length is under 10 seconds, even though each video is from 5 to 10 minutes long. Why is it only converting 10 seconds of a 5 minute video?

Please tell us more about the source content. Are they from your own project? Did you rip them from a DVD?
Are you importing the DVD videos directly into AME, or are they in Premiere sequences that you're exporting to AME? If the former, have you tried opening the clips in PPRO to see whether that app sees their full length? If the latter, do you have a work area defined?
Also, what version of AME do you have, and are you working on Windows or Mac?

Why is firefox randomly playing advertisment clips that are not present on the screen?

I just downloaded Firefox 4 and now whenever I choose a new website or search, some kind of advertisement clip plays. I cannot find any ad box to close it or pause it, but it cuts itself off after about 30-60 seconds. If I stay on the website it repeats the same ad again. (Even on this site I have had random ad clips playing). I am not very computer literate so I don't know if its something I need to do on my end to shush these ads (preferably permanently) or something that I might need to seek help for.
