Creating timecode on a blank miniDV

I am videotaping a 3-day long event where I will end up with about 9 miniDVs filled with footage. I will then capture that footage onto my Mac G5's FCP HD. I remember in one of my film classes that you're supposed to create timecode on the miniDV tapes before videotaping by recording over the entire tape, but this lesson is vague in my memory. Could anyone re-explain this to me and tell me exactly how I am supposed to do it? I'll be videotaping with a Sony DCR-VX2100 but have access to a Canon Elura 60. Thanks to anyone who can help.

I am with Randy. I have never ever heard of blacking a tape for shooting before DV came along. And then it was something that people thought would help with broken timecode issues. It doesn't. What causes a broken code is when you shoot, then review your footage and then don't press stop before the camera cuts to static...then the code starts over.
Actually, I guess it helps in this manner, prevents timecode from resetting to 00:00:00...which is a hassle. But it won't prevent a Timecode break. For when you shoot, it is performing an Assemble edit, much like if you record over a VHS tape in your VCR. When you press stop, the part of the tape after you stopped still incurs a TC break.
All blacking a tape does is introduce wear and tear, and increase the chances of dropout occurances. Don't do it...tell others about this myth. Do what Randy said and give yourself plenty of Post roll.

  • How to create a database with Blank/Unique schema ?

    Hi all,
    I am very new in Oracle 10g ... can you please guide me to create a database with blank/Unique schema. Detailed step-by-step help would be appriciated.
    Regards,
    CJ

    Actually no.
    Not to be difficult but rather because there is no such thing in Oracle.
    You have come here from some other product, most likely SQL Server, with a large sign that reads "I don't want to read the docs or learn anything about this product." That is not a winning strategy in Oracle.
    To start with you don't even know the definition of the word "DATABASE" in Oracle.
    Go to http://tahiti.oracle.com and start by reading the basic CONCEPT docs and learn enough about this product to not be dangerous.
    After you have done so, perhaps, someone will help you further.

  • Want to create a 10 minute "blank" video, can do with QT Pro?

    Hello-
    I'd like to create a 10 minute blank (black background, no audio) video that I can use as a title backdrop video in iMovie 08. Someone suggested QT Pro is able to do this. Is this correct? Thank you for your feedback!

    I can make a 10 minute "video" (no audio) that would be only 20KB's using QuickTime Pro.
    Create an all black image file (sized to your dimensions used in your project). It could be as small as a 2X2 pixel JPEG file but you would have to adjust those dimensions after import. that would be just a few bytes of data.
    Open this new image file using QuickTime Pro, select all and "copy".
    Find (trim if needed) a 10 minute video (using the appropriate frame rate for your project), select all and then use "Add to Selection & Scale" from the edit menu.
    Open the Movie Properties window of this new file, highlight your tiny all black video track and "Extract".
    Save As to make your self contained 10 minute all black video track.

  • Create tabular form with blank records

    Hi,
    I want to create a tabular form for INSERTing multiple records! However, I am having difficulty working out how to render the form as 'empty' i.e. no existing table records appear on the Form. I tried to adjust the query the form is based on so the 'automatic' query returns no records, but this caused the fields to 'disappear'. Can anyone recommend the best way to do this (if possible),
    regards,
    Kevin.

    Hi Tyson,
    I used the Advanced Dynamic Action wizard and at the point when I specify the Page Load event, a drop down list of conditions is available ( but does include NOT EXISTS ) so I kept the default 'No condition'. I associated the DA with the Event Source. Without editing the DA the form shown 10 blank rows in addition to 10 rows populated from the table. On subsequently editing the DA to add the NOT EXISTS condition you mentioned, the additional blank rows did not appear.
    I had exactly the same behaviour when associating the DA with the 'Form' Region! Is the bottom line simply that I can't have a totally blank form if the table it is based on is not empty?
    regards,
    Kevin.

  • The page layouts for a book created in iPhoto are blank. How do I get the original book back?

    I have a MacBook Pro, Mac OS X, version 10.7.5, Memory 4GB 1067 MHz DDR3, Processor 2.53GHz, Intel Core 15. iPhoto '11 version 9.4.3.
    I created an iPhoto book using iPhoto '9 in 2010. I bought the book and now want to buy another book. When I went to iPhoto, I discovered that all of the pages are blank. In the thumbnail for photos in project, the photos that I used are checked. Now I see that other photos for different books also show in the "photos in project" panel. Should I delete these foreign photos? How do I get the original book pages/layout back? Help! Patnd

    Do you have a back up?
    If not you're into using file recovery software like  File Salvage - you can download a free trial and it will scan the disk for you and tell you with might be recoverable. Actual recovery will require that you purchase the app. There may be many files with the same or similar names. Always recover the largest file size.
    There are other such apps. Search on Macupdate or the App Store

  • When trying to create sitecollection showing a blank screen with text ACK

    When i am trying to create a site collection i am ending up with a blank site with text ACK.Please can any1 help me in fixing this issue.

    Hi,
    According to your post, my understanding is that it show a blank site with text ACK when you create a site collection.
    To narrow down the issue scope, I recommend that you can try to test the following things.
      1.  Create some new different types site collections in this web application to check if this issue is occurred on the only site collection in this web application.
      2.  Create a new site collection in another web application to check if this issue is occurred on the only web application.
      3.  Create a new web application, create a new site collection in this new web application to test if it works.
    If the issue persists, please check the ULS log file to find more information about this issue.
    For SharePoint 2013, by default, ULS log is at C:\Program Files\Common Files\Microsoft Shared\Web Server Extensions\15\LOGS.

  • Create EXE projector makes Blank Screen

    Hi all,
    I am having a perplexing problem. If I open a SWF in Flash Player (v. 10.2 r153) it opens up just fine. I then go to File >> Create Projector.
    This creates a duplicate of the Flash Player (same size) but when it opens, it is blank. The content is not embedded as I would expect, but rather just creates a duplicate of the player.
    In other words, rather than packaging the SWF inside the player, as it is supposed to do, it leaves an open blank screen. If I drag the SWF into this, it plays - but that's not what its supposed to do!
    FYI, the SWF was created by a vendor through inDesign's Export >> SWF, but the client is requesting an EXE. Short of having to open the SWF in Flash and redo all the links between content, I am stuck as to what else can be done.
    Can anyone help?
    Thanks in advance

    Is that also in InDesign?  If so, better ask in the InDesign forum.

  • Create camera archive produced blank archive

    Hi,
    I tried to create a camera archive from a Sony Digital 8 camcorder playing back a Video 8 tape. The video showed on the screen and it said it was capturing. After 30mins when the footage was finished, I clicked stop. It asked me if I want to keep what has been capture so far so I clicked to keep it.
    The archive created could not be opened in FCPX and looking in the finder the archive is 0KB in size. Has anyone else experienced this?

    The footage is analog, but the camera outputs a digital signal and I am connecting it with firewire to the mac (I'm lucky to have one of the few Digital 8 camcorders that do that - bought it on ebay just for that purpose!).
    The video displays on the screen in FCPX, but when it got to the end, the archive was 0KB in size.
    Capture works fine in iMovie.

  • Option in "right click menu" to create or combine a PDF is blank.  How to restore?

    I am using CS6 and have had it installed on this machine for about 2 years.  Several months ago I noticed that when right-clicking a file the options to create PDF files is blank but the space in the menu is there and if I click that placeholder, it still functions.  Today, I decided to search online to see if anyone else has had this issue and find a way to fix it.  Unfortunately, my search has not turned up a solution - could be I just don't quite know what I am looking for to be able to phrase it correctly.  Screen shot below to help illustrate the issue.
    Do you know if this is related to a particular add-in or program I should be looking at closer? 
    Trying to think of anything that might have changed around that time and coming up short.  We did switch to MS office 365 this fall, but I am not 100% sure if it started at the same time as that move.
    Any tips are welcome.  Thank you for any assistance!
    Gina

    Sara, thank you for the advice.
    I just used the Repair Acrobat Installation function in the Help menu which concluded with a system restart.  This did not make a change to my issue. 
    With that result, I went ahead and uninstalled Acrobat from my computer with intent to reinstall as suggested.  I downloaded Acrobat X Pro from the site and in the installation set up prompts, where it asks for the serial number I enter in the one I have for my whole CS6 program.  It is rejecting the number as invalid.  I am sure this is because it is for the suite rather than the single program.
    How would you suggest I reinstall Acrobat X Pro?  or, do I need to reinstall in the whole CS6 suite of programs?
    Thanks,

  • Transaction iView (WinGUI): "Create Session" opens blank GUI

    Hi All,
    we are using a SAP Transaction iView which displays the WinGUI in the portal and directly opens a SAP transaction.
    The users are used to getting a new session with an already opened navigation tree (SMEN) by clicking "System --> Create Session". However, if the WinGUI is opened in the portal via a Transaction iView, "System --> Create Session" opens a blank GUI session where the users have to manually execute "SMEN" to get to the tree.
    Is there any way to get the usual "Create Session" behavior as if the WinGUI were launched outside the portal and the transaction were entered manually?
    Thanks,
    Jens

    Hi,
    first of all: Apologies... I had found another thread before which described the procedure you were hinting at (manipulating the PAR file) and I even had already downloaded the file from the PCD. But the user in the thread I found described another problem (the menu entry "Create Session" was missing altogether) so I thought this wouldn't solve my problem since we weren't missing this menu entry.
    But you are right: I changed the parameters, deployed the PAR and restarted the portal - the problem is solved! New sessions now automatically show SMEN.
    Thanks a lot!

  • Fill in the Blank Problem

    Alright, I'm new to captivate and all that, but I have a slight problem with fill in the blank quizes that I can't seem to figure out. What I want to do is create fill in the blank quiz questions that already have an incorrect answer in the blank that, after a user attempts to answer the question, returns to the original incorrect answer. So, for instance, if I had a fill in the blank that read "(Cats) go woof woof" where the parentheses represent the blank, I would want 'Cats' to reappear after a user incorrectly filled in that blank. As it is, it seems to keep the user text. I've tried checking and unchecking the retain text button in options, but that doesn't seem to do it. Any help would be much appreciated.

    Re-reading the question, I realize I may not being clear? I want the example text in a text entry box to re-appear after a user types in an answer and is given the failure or success message. Not possible? Thanks in advance.

  • User profiles from Active directory when loggedin then userdisplay, useredit shows blank white screen in SharePoint 2013

    User profiles from Active directory when loggedin then userdisplay, useredit shows blank white screen in SharePoint 2013 
    I can login with the these AD users and AD direct import is working just fine. We are not using UPS.
    With admin user when I click on the user it shows up proper data. But when I login with the same user it does not show me userdisplay/useredit and shows blank data. Also another strange thing is when I add new item in list with these AD users created by
    modified by is blank and its really strange. I checked user information list, tried to rerun user sync with direct AD import option but no success.
    MCTS Sharepoint 2010, MCAD dotnet, MCPDEA, SharePoint Lead

    Hi Amit,
    According to your description, my understanding is that the page is blank when the use accessed /_layouts/15/userdisp.aspx and the created by field was blank when the user created a new list item in SharePoint 2013.
    I tested the same scenario per your post, however I cannot reproduce your issue.
    For troubleshooting this issue, I recommend to verify the things below:
    Check the permission of the user in the corresponding site collection to see if he can access /_layouts/15/userdisp.aspx.
    Delete the user from AD and SharePoint, then re-add the user to AD and grant proper permission to the user in SharePoint to see if the issue still occurs.
    Did this issue occur with all the users? Add a new user in AD and test the same scenario.
    Best regards.
    Thanks

    I have created a package with some functions in it.Keep in mind that these functions requires PL/SQL code to be executed. Thus it needs a context switch from the SQL engine (executing your view code) to the PL/SQL engine (to do the function call).
    This may work fine for smaller data sets. But it does not scale well as context switches are expensive operations with inherent latency. The more switches there are, the bigger the execution time chunk required for context switching.
    The ideal is to rather use SQL to perform the work of the function. SQL code can implement if-then-else logic via the DECODE() SQL function and SQL CASE command. Analytical functions can be used for complex aggregation and calculation.
    If a user define (PL/SQL) function is needed, then ensure that the function is as fast as possible (minimal moving parts), and consider defining it as a deterministic function if the same input always produces the same output.

  • How can I display modes in connection create window

    Hi Pro,
         I create a environment/model, then I get into EPM excel addin, try to create a connection, but eventhough I choose my environment created, but I get blank list for model drop down list. how can I display modes in connection create window?

    Hi Yi Fei,
    Add user to your environment, check their security profiles, also check roles in BW.

  • Error while creating OEBS user

    I'm using OIM 9031 with OEBS User Management connector from CP 9041.
    I know that by default OEBS allows creating users with blank passwords. But when I try to provision OEBS to OIM user with empty password filed at OraApps Process Form, I'm receiving the following error:
    ERROR,03 Dec 2007 12:56:17,663,[ADAPTER.ORACLE-EBIZUM],ProvisionOraUser::validate :
    doResetPassword: The password is not long enough.
    I've tried to enable debug logging for the adapter by adding log4j.logger.Adapter.Oracle-eBizUM=DEBUG to xellerate/config/log.properties file, but I can still see only ERROR level messages at OC4J log.
    How can I create OEBS users with blank passwords?

    Hello,
    this is not really an ADS problem. It might be better if try to ask this in the WebAS forum. The problem is here with the UME.
    Best regards,
