Controling speed changes with more precision? is it possible in FCPX?

controling speed changes on clips with more precision? is it possible in FCPX? other than the presets?

where is it that you can change the values...I have read that you open the retiming bar in the timeline...didn't see anywhere to change the values..sorry I'm sure it's right in front of me, but?

FCP7 Speed change with keyframes on motion tab

I am trying to change the speed of my video in FCP7 with keyframes. I am cueing where I want the speed change to begin and clicking on the motion tab in the
viewer. next I change the speed percentage and click a keyframe then I cue on my timeline to where I want the speed to go back to 100% and click the keyframe button in the motion tab. I render it to see it and the whole clip in the timeline is in slow motion. This does not coincide with what I am trying to achieve. Just want to start out 100% speed then go to 50% speed then back to 100% speed then the clip ends. Thanks.

that's probably way overkill in terms of the quality of material shot on an iphone. Is that the pixel dimensions of the original file from the iphone?
What's your end use for this material? The web? DVD?
And what are your sequence settings? make the timeline active and hit command-zero. in one of your posts you said 720 30p . 30p is actually 29.97 frames per second.
Because this is a non standard format, you may need to convert them to match your sequence settings. First thing to do is to take them into cinema tools and conform the clips to 29.97. This will slow them down slightly but there is no loss in quality. Each frame remains the same, they are just played slower. It may not work with this format, so you may need to convert them to a standard format as I said above.
If you still have the original files from the iphone, going back to them to do these conversions may be the best way to maintain quality.
If you have a short clip directly from the iphone and would like me to do a quick test of the (hopefully) best workflow, I would then be able to describe it to you concisely.

Speed changes with REVERSE don't transfer over to Motion on Round Trip

I don't even know if there is a solution to this problem. I have a clip in my FCP timeline that is playing at 80% speed and in REVERSE. When I highlight the clip then "SEND TO MOTION PROJECT," it opens in motion but plays the opposite end of the source footage. It is still playing 80% speed and in reverse, but it's looking at the other end of the footage.
In other words, if I had a 1-minute piece of source footage and 00:01-00:10 of that footage marked in FCP and sent to Motion, Motion is actually looking at 00:50-01:00.
Anybody ever had this happen? How do I fix it?

Even if I try to do the speed change natively in Motion, it still yields the same result in terms of what part of the source footage it's looking at.
In this case, if I wanted to do use the optical flow option, I would do it in Shake because the source footage is an hour long, and Motion has to analyze the ENTIRE source file rather than just the part that's being referenced. (Annoying) Shake does only the part you are using.

How can i measure the transmision time in gpib with visual basic with more precision if i use time() function?

I want to take a measurement of the time that i use to make a gpib transmision in a Visual Basic program,i use the function TIME() to take the time in the begining and other time in the end,but this way only give me precision of seconds, and i want miliseconds,can i use other function,other way?
Can answer in spanish?

Try using GetTickCount() API function, which provides millisecond precision. If you need more precise timer, try using QueryPerformanceCounter() function.

PLD Balance Sheet - landscape with more than four columns possible?

I'm assuming this can't be done based on the zero responses... but perhaps someone new will know...
I have cleaned up the Periodic Balance Sheet by removing % differences and such, and am left with the account name and four columns (five columns total). This works great for quarterly reviews... But I want to be able to see the entire year on one landscape page if I were to choose a monthly report. Those columns do not magically add to the same page; rather, they appear on separate pages (so for a monthly balance report, you would see three pages).
How in the world can I make this work to not create new pages when there's plenty of white space left?
Thank you in advance for either the 'this is not possible' or 'do this' type responses.

Hi Russell,
I don't think it's possible. There are some print layouts in the system which are a bit dodgy: have a look at the actual fields displaying the data: these are all simple text type fields but still they are the ones containing the data... These kind of layouts are made by SAP in a way we can't edit, if you try to for instance copy those text fields they will not display the same info anymore, just the original ones, or once you deleted them you can't reproduce them to work again.
So unfortunately this is something SAP made working this way and we can't change it. You can try maybe to recreate the same report in Crystal?

IN clause with more than 1 column, possible?

Hi,
I have an existing (simplied) query:
SELECT sum(bandwidth)
FROM a, b
WHERE a.tag = b.tag AND a.id IN
(SELECT id FROM ...);
If the subquery returns an id, say, twice, I would like the bandwidth to be added twice. E.g. Suppose the query returns (12, 12), then I would like the bandwidth added twice, instead of once as is currently.
Is this not possible for the "IN" clause? So without resorting to stored functions and cursors, etc, is there a pure SQL way to do so?? TIA!

Thanks all for speedy reply and helping me found a solution.
Yes, using a simple subquery / join works just fine.
I had tried that before I post the question but I guess the subquery has to go BEFORE the tables?? E.g. I had this before and it had errors and I gave up:
SELECT sum(bandwidth)
FROM a, b, (SELECT id FROM ...) p
WHERE a.tag = b.tag
AND a.id = p.id;
After your suggestions I went back and switch the order :
SELECT sum(bandwidth)
FROM (SELECT id FROM ...) p, a, b
WHERE a.tag = b.tag
AND a.id = p.id;
and now it works!
Thanks much!

Adobe Media Encoder CS4 Causing Jerky Playback with Speed Changes

Here is an Matrox AVI that was captured in Adobe Premiere Pro CS4. Watching the edited clip with a speed change of 600% looked fine when played in Premiere Pro CS4.
When I export the clip using Adobe Media Encoder CS4 as MPEG2 Blu-ray with a preset of 1440 x 1080i High Quality playback is very jerky. An export of the same clip with normal speed looks great??
Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated

How do I remove old web site when publishing new site with same URL in iweb? Hit replace when publishing new iweb site (so we could have control over changes) but new site name is attached to old via a / after our www address we want to keep.

I hit the replace when publishing the new iweb site (so we could have control over changes - last one was not an apple based site) but new site name is attached to old via a forward slash and underscore after our www address. Makes it very messy with a very long web address. Original address now followed by iweb site name followed by name of first page? Went for iweb as not that computer literate - all going so well?! Cheers for help in anticipation. Have to get off to work now but be great end to week if we could be sorted tonight. Rupes

Well yes of course, if you try and publish through iWeb there won't be an option to publish without your site folder which is exactly why I told you to download Cyberduck and use Cyberduck to upload your site to your server having published your site from iWeb to a local folder. That is what you need to do if you don't want your site name to be included in yoru url.
It would have been easier also if you had used Cyberduck initially to connect to your server and delete your old site yourself - at least that way you would have deleted the correct files rather than relying on your hosting service to do it and doing it incorrectly.
Download Cyberduck and then select the publish to a local folder option from iWeb and then use Cyberduck to upload your site to your server, but rather than uploading the whole site folder and separate index file, upload ONLY the contents of your site folder and then your url will be http://www.domain.com/page_name.html.
It really isn't rocket science!

Export EDL or XML for seq with speed change

Hi,
I am trying to export an EDL or XML of a 30 sec sequence of 10 clips. 5 of them have speed change. Basic speed change, not variable. They are UC 10bit from a DigiBeta captured with a Kona 2.
The problem is that the exported EDL or XML doesn't get the right clips in and out points for recapture on other systems. Any clue?

As long as there are speedchanges in the sequence, FCP will screw the EDL timecodes for source clip in/out and position in the timeline....and it's way off.
And the problem is not with Flame, if I open the XML or EDL in TextEdit, I see the TC mistakes. We do that all the time with the Avid MC and it works very well. Even if the speed changes wouldn't go through, I would expect clips coordonates and in/out to be ok.

Problem with speed change in Twixtor Pro

Using Twixtor 5.0 and After Effects CS6, and I'm struggling with a situation where keyframing the Speed% change causes the slow frames to freeze for several frames at a time.
What works:
Drop clip into new comp
Enable Time-remaping, and extend the length of the comp to a good minute or so longer than source clip
Add Twixtor Pro to clip layer (appears to behave the same if you drop this comp into another clip and apply to that)
Set frame rate to match comp's (and clips)
Set speed% to something low, like 5.
Clip plays back nice and smooth and slow, every frame is interpolated.
What doesn't work:
Repeat above steps... up to 5
Set a keyframe for speed% to 1000
Advance playhead ahead a second, set another keyframe to maintain speed
Move several frames, set keyframe for speed% to 5
When I playback the clip, after the last speed change, instead of nice smooth motion, I get a still frame, then several identical frames, then it jumps again to the next incremental frame, and so on – with NO smooth interpolated frames. The result, as you can guess, is quite jerky.
If you trash all the keyframes and just leave the speed change to 5, it plays totally smooth. Which is just great, except for the fact I want to actually animate it.
Has anyone encountered this?
In the meantime as a backup, I'm using Timewarp, but I would love to sort this out.

Hi Rick, I appreciate your persistence to help. That's definitely another way to use the plugin which I've never used in the past, but does eliminate the need to enable time-remapping. Certainly not as common as the majority of the tutorials out there, including Re:Vision's own.
For the sake of argument I tried this approach, but unfortunately the problem persists. Out of curiosity, were there specific problems you avoided by using the solid method vs applying directly to the footage?
If I can dig up my serial numbers I will install the CS6 update as instructed. I'll definitely update this post if I get any positive results.
UPDATE:
I'm pleased to say upgrading to 5.1.5 fixed the problem!

How can i make changes from the user in TabBar with more button persistent? I´m using the Storyboard.

I have build an App with more than 5 Tabs, the user can change the order of the items, but this is not persitent.
How can i fix this on iOS 7 and i´m using the Storyboard.

Can I do it afterwards ?
Yes. In addition to what Bee Jay said, here are some other tips.
First record a pattern that's a few bars long, and don't tweak any knobs while you're doing this. Set a Cycle Range, because we want to play this pattern over and over again. Press A to make Automation visible (although there isn't any yet).
Find the channel strip for this track, either in the Inspector or in the Mixer window. Just above the meter, look for the button that says "Off." Hold down this button and a menu will appear. Select "Touch." Press Play. As the pattern plays the first time, pick a knob in the ABL2 window, and mess with that knob. At the end of the pattern, let go of the knob, and then watch what the knob does as the pattern plays again. Then as the pattern plays some more, mess with another knob. You'll notice that curves are being drawn in the Arrange window as you mess with the knobs.
This should help get you started.

Speed up import, running brconnect with more processes?

Hi,
i want to decrease the import time of an WEB AS 640 on Windows 2003 x64 / Oracle 10g Installation.
Unfortunately sapinst starts the brconnect with only 1 process in the update statistics phase, so I killed the brconnect process and started it manuelly with more processes.
this is the brconnect statement i found in the brconnect.log "brconnect -u / -c -o summary -f stats -o SAPSR3"
so I used it this way "brconnect -u / -c -o summary -f stats -o SAPSR3 -p 10"
I want to change the brconnect statement in sapinst. Does anybody know where to find the brconnect statement?
Kind regards
Mathias

I would select "don´t update statistics" during installation, load the system and update the statistics after the installation is finished.
The brconnect call is built by sapinst using keydb.xml, it´s not a full statement that you can "just change".

Clips with speed change freeze upon export

When previewing my finished movie in FCP everything looks great, but when I export it all clips with a speed change - constant not variable - freeze up on a single frame. I cannot figure this out, any ideas? Thanks.

Export Directly from Final Cut, using *Quicktime Conversion:*
Click Options...
*VIDEO settings*
COMPRESION: H264
Quality HIgh
Key frame rate 24
Bitrate 1000
frame reordering YES
encoding mode: Multipass
Dimensions 320 x 240
SOUND
AAC, 32 Khz (good or normal)
Perhaps this will help... ( I do a lot of motion graphics in final cut and use this for sending for client approvals...) for bit rate I usually use 650 to 850, but I saw in the Compresser web settings, bitrate was 1000...
ALSO< is your original video interlaced? If so, try checking off option De Interlace (in size) or vice versa...

Compressor encoded speed change clip with echo as motorboat sound

Took me two days to troubleshoot, through trial and error and process of elimination, why Compressor encoded an audio clip that had been speed changed and echo applied to it -- as rapid MOTORBOAT sound! Project is a 5.1 mix. Since STP3 won’t accept speed change clips, after I completed mix in STP I placed speed changed clips on FCP timeline below the exported STP 5.1 mix with the FCP audio tracks for that clip assigned to channels 1 & 2 for the fronts and channels 5 & 6 for the rears. The clip on 5 & 6 was duplicated and identical in every way to the clip on channels 1 & 2. Only the dupe clip on 5 & 6 did Compressor encode as motorboat. The identical clip on 1 & 2 encoded correctly. Both clips were set to play at same time since I wanted the effect to be on fronts and rears simultaneously. I could not get the motorboat sound to play back from either FCP timeline or Compressor preview window. Only after encode and burn to DVD did it show up. Why would Compressor introduce such artifacts on one of the clips and not both – if it’s going to do it at all – which it shouldn’t? Any ideas? I have other such effects throughout the project where I duped a speed changed clip with an effect applied to it and set it to play on fronts and rears simultaneously and Compressor encoded those correctly.

Well, it's a little late, but this is one of the reasons to have your startup drive cloned so you can restore it to a working state if an update, upgrade or install sends things south.
https://discussions.apple.com/docs/DOC-2494
Have you tried resetting your fcp preferences
https://discussions.apple.com/docs/DOC-2491
If this doesn't fix the problem, you could try sending the shot to motion. You could aslo try changing the speed in the motion tab of the viewer.

Controling speed changes with more precision? is it possible in FCPX?
