Compressor work flow solutions?

I used compressor in FCP suite 1 and liked the way I could edit a sequence and then send it to compressor to be output into whatever format I needed.
But in the new compressor, maybe I'm wrong, it looks like I need to have a completed quicktime file imported into compressor in order to use compressor.
I usually output H.264 using quicktime conversion, is that what I should be doing? And then put it in compressor to make it smaller for the web?
The tutorials I've seen make no mention of what kind of quicktime file I should be going for before going to compressor.

I usually output H.264 using quicktime conversion, is that what I should be doing? And then put it in compressor to make it smaller for the web?
No! Compressing twice will only degrade the quality.
You can export to Compressor directly form FCP, or export a QuickTime Movie (either self-contained or reference) at current settings. Do NOT recompress all frames. That will give you a file that is the exact copy of what is in your FCP Timeline ... and you can use that file in Compressor.

Optimizing work flow in FCP on new iMac? (dropped frames)

Hello-
I've recently purchased a new iMac, first in about 6 years. I'm looking for some advice about optimizing my work flow in FCP. I am largely self-taught, using FCP for hobbyist/amateur video.
Until this new computer, I have been using FCP on other people's Macs (schools, arts institutions, etc), only resorting to my old Powerbook when absolutely necessary. So I have not had to worry about performance issues until now.
I am shooting on a Kodak Zi8 pocket cam in 1080p HD .MOV files, 1920x1080 H.264, AAC audio.
In my first attempts at editing the footage, I find that I am getting dropped frames on playback at every edit point - any time I cut between shots, add titles, etc.
(I also tried editing some much smaller, compressed files (QT 854x480, H.264, AAC audio) in the timeline and had the frame drop problem.)
Also, when I add titles, they do not preview render - I have to render them completely to be able to playback.
When I allow FCP to change the sequence settings to match the clip, I get the following:
1920 x 1080
Aspect: HDTV 1080i (16:9)
Pixel Aspect: Square
Field Dominance: Upper (Odd)
Editing Timebase: 29.97
In this instance I am editing footage that is stored on the local HD, but I have also tried editing footage from a USB 2.0 external drive, and got the same dropped frame problem.
...its a little frustrating to get these performance issues on this new computer, so I hope that someone here can help me resolve some of my problems. Hopefully this is a work flow issue, but if its a lack of hardware, well, shame on me for not looking into it enough.
thanks in advance.

Hi -
H.264 is a recording and delivery format, but as you have discovered, it is very difficult to edit. Its qualities of recording a high quality image in a small file size, which make it attractive for use in Flash based camcorders, makes it very difficult for FCP to work with. Attempting to work in H.264 makes FCP drop frames, require constant rendering, etc.
The best solution is to convert your footage to an edit friendly file format, such a ProRes LT or AIC. There will be minimal impact on the quality of the image. This conversion will result in files that are much larger than your original files, but will work easily in FCP.
You don't say if you have FCS or just FCP, but if you do have FCS then you can use Compressor to do the conversion.
Hope this helps.

Work Flow in Status Error

Hi Experts,
I have a Workflow which triggers on record update.
After the start step i have 3 assignment Fields and then Some validations etc.
I can see that this workflow is stopped at First assignment step Some times with Error.
And when i Open the workflow and close it again, then the next time there is a Update to a Record this workflow works fine...
This is strange..
the Workflow entry which is in ERROR will remain the same, Even if i press 'Perform' ..
DId anyone face this issue earlier!!!
It works fine for 2 days and suddenly i can see in Workflow table there is a entry with Error at First Assignment step of Workflow.
when i Open work flow, Edit some description and save it back and the rest of the workflows from then are executing without error.
But the one with Error in WF table still remains the same even after selecting 'Perform' on it.

Hi John,
Please find details of a SAP Note 1553992 on this issue:
Symptom
- Data Manager crashes when trying to click on workflow job line (only    in MDM 5.5).
- Workflow jobs are in error state due to executing next step such as     syndication step after a job was in error state due to bad assignment.
Other terms
- Workflow crash Data Manager, O28627 2011
Reason and Prerequisites
o Description of the root cause of the bug and ways to reproduce and/or diagnose the issue:
Reproducing the scenario can be done by creating a workflow with the following steps:
1. Start
2. Bad Assignment (e.g. assignment created unique constraint violation)
3. Syndication
4. Stop
After executing the workflow job, the job is shown in error state in MDM Data Manager.
Clicking on next -> Syndication step changes the workflow job to a job that only the owner can see. The job is shown in MDM Data Manager in error state, its step description is empty and no user specified in user column.
Clicking on the workflow job will lead to a crash in Data Manager.
MDM Data Manager crashes since the workflow job is is in error state but none of his steps is in error state.
In this mode(unlisted), MDS prepares the workflow list to be send to Data Manager with user name with value NULL.
Data Manager crashes when it tries to access the user name of the workflow.
The issue was introduce with MDM 5.5.
Issue is not relating to a specific platform/DBMS.
Solution
o The workaround is:
Delete workflow job in error state using Java API.
o The description of the fix is:
The fix handles two scenarios:
1. Existing workflow jobs in error state that caused a crash
   in MDM Data Manager. A fix was made in MDS to add the owner as user
   name to the workflow jobs in such scenario.
   As a result users are able to delete the workflow job or show its
   history.
2. New workflow job will not stay in Error state and the next step will
   be correctly performed.
o The issue was fixed in the following code lines and versions:
- MDM 5.5 SP06 Patch05 Hotfix 45 (Build 5.5.65.125) -
    change list #94328
- MDM 7.1 SP07 (Build 7.1.07.113) - change list #94340
- MDM 7.11     (Build 7.11.0.146) - change list #94339
o What areas of the code were fixed?
Workflow Run Time
o What areas of the code were affected by the fix?
Workflow Run Time
o The following component(s) need to be replaced to correct the specific flaw addressed by this note:
In 5.5 Version:
Master Data Server
MDM SERVER 5.5
In 7.1 Version:
Master Data Server
o Additional component(s), if any, that were impacted and should be regression-tested by the code change:
In 5.5 Version:
GUI Clients
JAVA API
In 7.1 Version:
Data Management Clients
JAVA API
Hope this helps.
Thanks,

Work flow in CRM 2007

Hi,
I want to implement some work flow related activities in CRM 2007. Can I implement this using Guided Procedures in CAF or workflow ? Which is the better way? pls suggest..
Regards,
Ajay

Ajay,
Your question is a little vague as you don't have a business scenario for your workflow related requirements.
I will say that if the workflow process does not involve switching out of CRM and only involves steps in CRM, then traditional workflow will work fine. If you need to do something where the steps involve multiple systems then guided procedures would be a better solution.
Perhaps if you share more of your scenario you will get some better ideas on how to go about it.
Take care,
Stephen

Plz give me work flow of film editing in Final Cut Pro..

Hello Everyone...
I am basically a Avid Film Editor. Past 2 years I am using Final Cut Pro. Recently I finished Final Cut Pro Level 1 & T3. Right now I am working as a App. Support Engineer specially for Final Cut Pro .
I want know the work flow of film editing in Final Cut Pro. I am very interested to do film editing in FCP but the workflow from Avid to FCP its totally different.
I tried few options like using FCP & Cinema Tools..
1. Captured 25fps clips and cofirmed to 24fps in cinematools.
2. In FCP the Timeline frame rate is 24fps
But I am not able to understand..
1. What is Database?
2. Cant we capture 24fps in FCP?
3. How to Synchronize captured clips with Cinema Tools database?
4. How to link the captured clips in to Cinema Tools database?
5. Where do I enter the KN Start & KN End?
6. What about Pull List & Cut List?
Please give me the details of film technics in Final Cut Pro....
Thanks in advance....

I knew I'd find this same post here. That makes three versions of trhe same list of questions.
Posting three times here implies you have posted this set of questions in many other FCP forums around the Net. If that is so, do us all the kindness of returning to all of them and closing them. Include the suggestions you have received and the solutions that were successful for you. That way your multiple threads will show up on search inquiries when other confused FCP newbies try to start complex film projects.
It's a bummer you cannot find these answers in the FCP manuals, I'm usre you looked there first. But, since we run on volunteers around here, it may be several days before someone with enough practical CinemaTools experience can stop by and handle them for you. Please have some patience.

The work flow of AR invoice to AP Supplier? (Urgent)

Hi Experts,
I am a new user of oracle finanical. There are some urgent issues I need to solve and I could not able to find in Google. Hope someone can give me a helping hand.
We are on 11i (Oracle Financial modules only: GL/AP/AR/FA), I want to ask about how to make the work flow of AR invoice to AP Supplier (e.g. promotion fee).
1. Should we create a customer account and make a invoice in AR for AP Supplier?
e.g. create a AR invoice
DR Receivables $1000
CR Revenue $1000
2. Could we settle/match the AR invoice in AP outstanding as requested by AP Supplier?
And if yes, how to do it and please tell me the detail work flow? And if not, any solution?
Thanks
Sam

Hi Sam.
When you run the Supplier Customer Netting Report you may find that:
-The balance is in your favor.
-You have to pay to the supplier.
For both cases you should create a Bank Account to address the netting operations.
Let’s suppose you face the following situation:
-Customer’s balance is $500
-Supplier’s balance is $600
In this case you have to pay $100 to your supplier.
Using the netting Bank Account record a receipt of $500 and apply it to your customer invoices:
DR     Netting Bank Account     $500
CR     Receivables          $500
Your customer’s balance is now zero.
Record a debit memo in AP against the supplier:
DR     Liability
CR     Netting Bank Account     $500
Your supplier’s balance is now $100.
Issue a payment in this amount using your normal bank account.
DR     Liability          $100
CR     Cash          $100
Your supplier’s balance is now zero. Netting has been done. Check the Cash Account used on the netting Bank Account on a regular basis. If the balance is not zero then something is wrong.

ABAP API for MDM work flow

Hi SDN,
I need some information related to ABAP API for MDM workflow. I did search in SDN and I found one solution in a thered posted on Jul-2008.
ABAP API - MDM Workflow execute
My dought is: Do we have any ABAP API for call MDM work flow. Please provide me the solution ASAP. Apprciate for your immediate response.
Regards,
Kumar.

Hi LAKSHMAN ,
To answer your question specifically
Using ABAP api you cannot call MDM workflows as of mdm 5.5 there are no functions specific to calling MDM workflows in ABAP.If you want to implement workflows on ABAP side you need to go for SAP ECC workflows which is a different topic than MDM>
To call MDM workflows over the Java stack ie WAS (SAP portal),You have 2 ways
- UWL
- Guided Procedures.
- UWL is a way of calling MDM workflows on EP.Wherein the workflow design will be done in MDM and it will only be called in portal using appropiate connections and configurations.
You can refer the below links to know more on them:
https://www.sdn.sap.com/irj/sdn/go/portal/prtroot/docs/library/uuid/771f1a61-0e01-0010-daa9-93a52905da09 (uwl)
https://www.sdn.sap.com/irj/sdn/go/portal/prtroot/docs/library/uuid/a3461636-0301-0010-3787-978f5ac8bd45 (UWL config)
- GP is a way where by you need to design the entire workflow on SAP portal the logic can be pertaining to MDM but the design is completely on portal using webdynpros and api.
You can refer the below links to know more on them:
https://www.sdn.sap.com/irj/sdn/go/portal/prtroot/docs/library/uuid/92811997-0d01-0010-9584-f7d535177831 (Guided procedures)

How to reflect new changes in older instance of work flow?

Hi All,
I am working on a custom workflow.
This workflow is triggered by web dynpro component.
Earlier my custom infotype was getting updated from web dynpro, and work flow is used to maintain process flow.
But currently we started facing some authorization issue while updating infotypes for approvers.
So now i introduced an activity in work flow to update this infotype from work flow using WF_Batch
(calling method of a class to update the infotype), and commented the code to update infotype from web dynpro.
Now the problem is, i have few requests raised using older version of work flow,
in which the activity to update infotype was not there.
New requests are working fine, infotype is getting updated using work flow.
But in older requests when i am viewing from SWIA that new activity to update infotype is not visible.
How can i implement the changes to older instances of work flow?
Because for older requests in web dynpro also there is no code to update infotype as well as in older work flow instance
my activity to update infotype is not visible.
Waiting for help.....
Regards,
Amar

Hi Amar,
The changes will be reflected for new instances that are created after the transport of the new workflow definition.
The instances of old definition will continue as it is.
However a workaround could be that you can end the old definition instances by logically deleting them and start new workflow by T code SWUS or generating event by SWUE and go through the whole process again.
Re- triggering of the workflow seems to be only solution here .
Hope this helps.

Hi,
you can use a CONDITION step to achieve this requirement. Try the following link, it may not exactly match your requirement but will give you a clear idea on how to proceed,

Work Flow Question

I'm dealing with a bunch of HD media, and I need to know if this work flow makes sense or is counterproductive (quality wise). If I work in a DV timeline so I can view it on a TV- do all of my dissolves, etc. and then copy my finished timeline into a ProRes 422 HQ timeline, render that and use that to export via Compressor with the end result being a DVD that I'll burn in DVDSP... am I doing something wrong here? When I render it a second time in the ProRes timeline, is it rendering it from DV quality, or does it go back to the virgin media? Thanks for your help.

Yeah -- something like that.
Point was, if you are going SD with the DVD then there wouldn't be much reason to uprez to HD just to come back to an SD delivery.
Let Compressor take the DV timeline and compress it to mpeg2 (use the High Quality Two Pass settings.)
Good luck,
CaptM
