Creating sequences for multimedia w/o black border

I can export clips taken from firewire to quicktime fine, but when I make them into sequences, they export with black borders.
I'm new, please help.

Is your DVCAM PAL or NTSC? Sometimes PAL is used when people are shooting to convert to film but NTSC is the traditional US standard.
When I asked as to your timeline format I meant that when a new project is created in FCP the timeline is set to a specific video format like DV25NTSC, DV50NTSC, HDCAM etc.
I would first export your sequence as a QT movie self contained using current settings. Then I would use MPEG Streamclip or VisualHub to export your video. You can also use Compressor/QT Pro but you need to understand what the settings are and mean in order to get the results you want.
Encoding to MPEG 4, especially if you use the H264 codec is very time consuming. Be prepaired to wait while your computer does its number crunching.
I learned FCP by running through the tutorials back in the days of FCP 1. They were enormously helpful. Compressor is new since then and I haven't had as much time to do editing as I had back then, but I suspect the current tutorials have evolved to include compressor. These may help you better understand how the software works to better achieve your end goals.
I am not a video editor by trade. My day job is a TV studio engineer. I still need to know how to do things in editors a little. My work mostly uses AVIDs. I purchased FCP for myself and believe it is far superior to AVIDs in most situations.
Let me know if this helps.

Creating sequences for all tables in the database at a time

Hi ,
I need to create sequences for all the tables in my database.
i can create individually ,using toad and sqlplus.
Can any one give me a code for creating the sequences dynamically at a time for all the tables.
it is urgent ..
Regards.

I need to create sequences for majority of the tables that are having ID column
which is sequences."The majority" is not the same as all. So you probably want to drive your generation script off the ALL_TAB_COLUMNS view...
where column_name = 'ID'You need to think about this carefully. You might want different CACHE sizes or different INCREMENT BY clauses for certain tables. You might even (whisper it) want a sequence to be shared by more than one table.
Code generation is a useful technique, but it is a rare application where one case fits all.

Sequence frame size/black border

I created several sequences in Final Cut Pro 4, which all seem to have the same settings, but some of them have a black border around the picture and a smaller picture size. When I export a Quick Time Movie of the sequence, the boarder still exists in iDVD.
How do I make the picture fill the entire frame?
My footage was filmed on Mini DV.
My clip and sequence settings are: 29.97 fps (video rate), 720x480 (frame size), DV/DVC Pro (compressor), NTSC - CCIR 601 (pixel aspect) 48.00 KHz (audio rate)
Mac Mini Mac OS X (10.4.6)

Hey Cala
As you say, when you set your sequence as JPEG accidently, and keeping the aspect ratio and everything as you say, it shouldn't have to reduce your frame size of your media.
Have you tried to make a new sequence with the preset settings for DV and put the referred clip on it? It should present it normally, filling all the frame.
Checking on your screenshot, it seems to present it as if it were capture it like Photo-JPEG Offline edit. It is the same way appears the clips when are captured with that setting on a DV preset sequence.
I don't know how much problem would be to recapturing that clip again, before put your sequence settings on the preset for DV, as the same for the Capture preset. Then, it must work all fine.
About the configuration between Panther 3.9, QT 6.5 and FCP 4.5, in my case never have appeared some situation like this one. Even on Tiger-QT7-FCP 5.
This is so odd. I can only think on recapturing checking all the presets pointing in DV/DVCPRO NTSC. Hope it works! (It ought to be)
Best regards!

You should also ask this in the iPad forum. This is the forum for the white and black plastic MacBooks that were discontinued in 2010. You should also post this question there to increase your chances of getting an answer.

How to create a sequence for an particular item in my apex form

Hi friends,
I created an database application, of a form with a report, and it is working fine...
But in my form, i have a requirement....The below are the existing fields in my form
issue no
created by
start date
status
priority
due date
Among these fields in my form i need to create a 'Sequence' for my field "issue no",
So that whenever i opened the form the 'issue number' must generate automatically like 1 for the first time, 2 for the second time and so on..
For that i created a sequence
CREATE SEQUENCE "ORDERS_SEQ"
MINVALUE 1
MAXVALUE 999999999999999999999999999
INCREMENT BY 1
START WITH 1000
NOCACHE
NOCYCLE;
But for validation where i need to write the sequence query for the particular item 'issue no'....i dont have any idea of where to write the validation query for the sequence..
please tell where i need to write in step wise manner..please help me friends...
As the below is my validated sequence query for item 'issue no'
'select seq.issue_id.nextval into issue_no'
This is my above validation query whether the query that i mentioned is right..if not let me know the validation query..
And also i need where to apply this validation query in steps..
Thanks in advance
Regards,
Harry...

Harry,
Rik is on the right track. Here is a sample insert trigger: Would need to substitute you sequence ORDERS_SEQ with my sequence las_log_seq, how you define or use timestamps is up to you.
DROP TRIGGER LASDEV.BINS1_LAS_LOG_TBL;
CREATE OR REPLACE TRIGGER LASDEV."BINS1_LAS_LOG_TBL"
   BEFORE INSERT
   ON las_log_tbl
   FOR EACH ROW
BEGIN
   -- Description: Insert log_seq, creation_dt, creation_id,
   --              lst_updt_dt and lst_updt_id.
   -- Maintenance:
   -- Date        Actor          Action
   -- ====        =====          ======
   -- 07-Sep-2010 J. Wells       Create.
   :new.creation_id := nvl( v( 'app_user' ), user );
   :new.creation_dt := SYSDATE;
   :new.lst_updt_dt := :new.creation_dt;
   :new.lst_updt_id := :new.creation_id;
    SELECT las_log_seq.NEXTVAL
      INTO :new.las_log_seq
      FROM DUAL;
END bins1_las_log_tbl;

How to create the Access sequence for the Vendor+material+plant combination

Hi all
Please let me know How to create the Access sequence for the Vendormaterialplant combination..
Whats the use? What its effect in purhcase and taxe..
brief me please

Hi,
you are asked to maintain the access sequence for the tax condition for which you are putting 7.5%.
goto OBQ1 or img..financial accounting new...global settings.... taxes on sales and purchases ......basic settings.....
find the tax condition type. see in it which access sequence is attached.
if there is none then use JTAX used for taxes in India.
or you can create the similar one for your.
to create the same goto OBQ2.
new entry or copy JTAX.
and assign the access sequence to condition type.
this will resolve your problem if you just need to assign the access sequence.

For what are "CREATE SEQUENCE ... INCREMENT BY 1 START WITH 1" ?

I have seen SQL statements for Oracle Databases in the form like
CREATE SEQUENCE sq_ordernum INCREMENT BY 1 START WITH 1
For what are these kind of statements and how can I access/use them?
Peter

sequence is used to increment a number when ever you use seq.next val;
SQL> CREATE SEQUENCE sq_ordernum INCREMENT BY 1 START WITH 1
2 /
Sequence created.
SQL> select sq_ordernum.nextval from dual;
   NEXTVAL
         1
SQL> select sq_ordernum.nextval from dual;
   NEXTVAL
         2
SQL> select sq_ordernum.nextval from dual;
   NEXTVAL
         3
SQL> select sq_ordernum.nextval from dual;
   NEXTVAL
         4
SQL> select sq_ordernum.nextval from dual;
   NEXTVAL

How to create temp Sequence for multi sessions

Hi,
I"m using Global Temp table and I need to insert Identity (or Seq-Number) column into it, but I also have multiple sessions for my sp and each case shold have it's own Seq-Number, starting from 0.
Is there any kind of "temp sequence" in Oracle ? that works in the same fashion like GTT , so multiple sessions each will get fresh zero anytime they will refer it.
I also found out that ROWNUM will not work in my case.
Probably I also can create SEQUENCE in my sp with some unique name let say with SID , something like:
select sys_context('SID') into tmp_SID from dual ;
CREAT SEQUENCE 'MYSEQ'||tmp_SID start with 0 .....
Tx
Trent

if several sessions will create sequence with same static name could it be collission ? Should I go with dynamic sequence name instead ?You cannot have the same SEQUENCE (i.e. "static name") created from multiple sessions. A SEQUENCE is a Database Object that is not transient, but permanent (until it is dropped).
Although you could "generate" dynamic sequence names and use them, you should look for a better implementation than running CREATE and DROP statements like that.
Furthermore, you would have difficulty in doing a bulk insert of multiple rows unless you add a trigger that fires FOR EACH ROW.
If you need to assign an increasing value to each row, use a ROWNUM to assign to a new column.
insert /*+ -- optional APPEND -- */ into target_table
select s2.*, rownum-0 from (select * source_table s where ..... order by ....) s2on the assumption that target_table as n+1 columns where the last column is for the increasing value. (rownum-0 is to set the first row to 0).

Lights out - need black border for softproofing

The Lightroom 4 Beta has a white (and not black) background for previewing photos. In another discussion (Lights Out White Border) it was stated that this was intentional, not a bug. Many people requested the Black border be brought back, and the thread is "Assumed Answered". We are given the impression that White is what it will be!
In softproofing it is critical that we have a black screen in order to view the effects of Simulate Paper & Ink (Reference: Real World Color Management 2nd edition by Bruce Fraser)
Please bring back the Black Border! We NEED it!

I think if Bruce we alive, he would actually change his mind about that...the reason he suggested a black screen was so you weren't influenced by the change from soft proofing off to soft proofing on in Photoshop. He suggested going to a black screen and hitting tab to hide Photoshop UI elements.
What the current soft proofing in Lightroom is doing is showing Paper White as the area surrounding the image area just as you would see in a final print. The LR UI is already dimmed down to not influence your view of the image. As a result, in Lightroom you really don't need (or want) a black screen.
Your eyes will use the paper white to adapt to the paper as the brightest area in your field of vision. This will allow you to better judge the relative brightness of your image. Give it a try...the soft proofing in Lightroom is, I think superior to soft proofing in Photoshop. New tools need new ways of using them.
BTW, Bruce was a good friend and partner in PixelGenius. I've also coauthored two books with him and have a real good idea of the way Bruce thought–and learned a lot from him and still do.

Equivalent for Create Sequence from clip in Extendscript

Hi,
     Please help me to create a sequence from a clip using Extendscript.(through jsx coding).
     I want to create a sequence from a clip in same way as a sequence is made through GUI when we click on "New Sequence from clip".
     This is very urgent please help..
Thanks and Regards,

But before I grant this privilege, it was able to create the sequence from sql command only its like
CREATE SEQUENCE seq_name START WITH 1 INCREMENT BY 1 NOCACHE NOCYCLE;
Is the privilege specially required to be granted when used from stored procedure?

Compressor not creating audio for my sequence.

I use Final Cut Studio 2 and compressor is 3.0.5
I have been using this set up to compress my sequence for Toast for many years now. Never had this problem.
It is compressing my sequence without the audio track.
I use the setting :
MPEG-2 6,4 Mbps 1 pass
for up tp 90 minutes video with audio Dolby Digital at 192 kps or 60 minutes with AIFF audio on DVD-5. File extensio m2v
I check with "'preview" in compresor and the audio is playing.
No audio is there when I transfer the clip onto Toast to burn the dvd.

You have to include the audio as a separate encode. It will have the suffix AC3.

Canvas Black Border Sizing Issue

I recorded a video using a SONY HDV camera - but recorded it in DV - which I captured into FCP. I created a Sequence and edited the video. When I look at it in the "Canvas", there is a huge black border around the video! When I exported the video to a quicktime movie - the border is still there making the video portion looking very small.
How do I fix this so there is little or no border?
Thanks in advance!
MR

Hi Michelle!
Thanks for the quick response!
Well, I downloaded it in a 4x3 aspect ratio. I ended up playing with my Sequence Settings (Command 0) and was able to alter some settings. From there I was able to change some things around to make it work! I am a novice at this FCP, but have been around editing for awhile.
Thank you again for all of your help! I need to put more time in FCP to become a guru like you.
Thanks again.
Mike

Black border after rendering

My video is perfect while I'm working on it but every time I hit Enter to render it does render, but also all of the video clips jump a little, creating this black border around them all on the top and sides. I can fix it by adjusting the anchor point or position one notch, but I have to do that for every clip and then of course the "rendered" line turns red again. This seems like a bug. Here's a screenshot showing this border:

OK, I'm not quite sure what you are doing, when you are adjusting:
when I make that fix, suppose the number is at 243 (as it was in the test I just did) and to fix it I raise the number to 244. Now I hit Enter to render. The black border appears, but the number is still at 244.
Your Project/Sequence is 720 x 486, which appears to be the largest Frame Size of any of your Assets. Are the Sequences in the Project each set to the Frame Size of the contained Assets, or are you using Motion>Scale to fit them into the 720 x 486 Sequences?
Where are you using the 243 and 244? Is this in the Effects Control Panel>Effect>Motion>Scale, vertical dimension setting, or elsewhere.
It's probably that I am just not following something in the workflow, and not something that you're doing, but I'm not clear on a few aspects.
Thanks,
Hunt
[Edit] I think I just got it. You are inputting the 243 into Motion>Position for the center of your Asset. Sorry, it took a moment to sink in.

How to CREATE SEQUENCE in one table

dear all
the one thing i want to know when i use CREATE SEQUENCE in one table like this and then at that table
CREATE SEQUENCE oproduct_sequence
START WITH 1 INCREMENT BY 1
nocache
create table oproduct(
tname varchar2(20) not null,
tid int default oproduct_sequence.nextval
the system indicat that i cannot use this way to create table , so i really want to know how can i achieve this method
becuase when i want to insert inot table oproduct only use
insert into oproduct valuse('aaaa');
and the result like
aaaaa 1
bbbb 2

Actual name is before insert trigger. Some examples are listed below:
Example Number 1 ...
create sequence product_seq start with 1 increment 1
create or replace trigger product_insert before insert for each row begin
select productseq.nextval
into :new.product_id
from dual;
end;
Example Number 2 ...
How to create an autoincrement field in a table with a sequence ...
SQLWKS> create table bob(a number , b varchar2(21));
Statement processed.
First create a sequence
SQLWKS> create sequence x ;
Statement processed.
Then create the trigger.
create trigger y before insert on bob
for each row
when (new.a is null)
begin
select x.nextval into :new.a from dual;
end;
Example Number 3 ...
First create a sequence:
create sequence emp_no_seq;By default it increments by 1 starting at 0.
Use its values when inserting data into the table:
insert into t_emp values (emp_no_seq.nexval, 'Joe Black');~ Madrid.
