Down convert a project.

I up converted a cc project to 2014 version and it has never worked properly, continuos freezing and crashing, is it possible to down convert the project so I can work in a more stable software?

Thanks for the response everyone.
I had managed to stumble on editing in the 2014 project version for two days, so the option of going back to the cc project version was not an option (I did test the xml idea, and yes, only the basic edit re-links.)
The project has now finished finally, but during all the problems we tried many software/ hardware troubleshooting options - new user, more memory, opening project in another 2014 project, cleaning the cache, affecting the library, un-install-re install, and Adobe took control of the computer twice!
We can only assume the problem derived from up-converting the project to the new 2014 software as every other option was evaluated.

How To Down Convert FCPRO7 project to FCPRO6 project

A friend of mine is having some problems with FCPRO7 and he needs to finish a job ASAP.
Is there any way to use a FCPRO7 project in a FCPRO6?
down convert it? or export the timeline contents and use in a new FCPRO6 project?
Thanks in advance.

Use the Media Manager (in the File menu) to copy all the media to a single folder on an external drive.
This will also create a project file linked to the copied media.
Use that to generate an XML Version 4 file: Export > XML.
Connect the external drive to the FCP 6 system.
Import the XML into FCP 6, double click the Sequence in the Browser and follow the on screen instructions.

Down-Converting 1080p to 720p

I shoot AVCHD 1080p form a verity of different cameras - but 99% of all my final projects are for the Web or DVD - no big screen and no blue-ray. I want to shoot what I can in 1080p for future use or projects. My question is what is the best solution (free or nominal fee) for down-converting my footage to 720p for storage and editing?

Can I ask a related question here? (maybe in the "dumb question department) ...
I'm also shooting with a brand new NX5U -- which lets me shoot 1080 and 720 simultaneously (one to chip, the other to a flash drive). My projects also end up on the web and non-blueray DVDs.
So is the quality going to be better if I work in 1080 timelines and then import the final into a 720 timeline? Or is it going to look the same if I work in 720 right from the start?
I haven't run any tests to judge rendering time, etc. I'm assuming higher rez means longer processing time. But maybe it's worth it for better quality.
Anyone have any advice about this?
Thanks in advance!

Down converting HD to help workflow

Hi All
I have been given many quicktime animation files to cut into a sequence in Final Cut Pro 6. The only problem is that they are 1920 x 1280 in size and are in Blackmagic 8 bit!!!! My computer cant handle the files, they are huge.
What steps should i now take to get them into a workable file type to edit with easily, and how would I go about when finished editing the piece, getting the online back to the original 1920 x1280 qt files provided originally. The files are also animations at 24fps.
Someone has suggested converting the original QT's from black magic to photo Jpeg using quicktime pro or compressor?
Much thanks to anyone who responds!!!

Hi Andy
Thanks so much for your response, media manager eh? Ive never used that before. Ive been looking for tutorials on the net but no luck. I did a test by high lighting a clip in my bin, chose Media Manager. Then I selected Ofline and chose the file to be photo Jpeg offline HD 24 fps, then when i clicked ok it asked me to save a new project? then when i save the clip is sitting there in a new projact, but its still uncompressed 1828 x 988? I would have assumed it would down convert it to the photo jpeg codec? and when i play it on the timeline it looks really pixilated... ha
am I completly missing the point of Media Manager?
Like I said, I have no idea about it - I come from Avid

Will i have any noticeable benefits converting my project from winform to WPF

Hello !
I have a large WinForm project in vb.net 2013. ( it's a financial project ).
I never used WPF , but I read something about it.
As your opinion , will I have any noticeable benefit if I convert my project to WPF ?
Thank you !

Hello dcode25,
There are several advantages to WPF in my opinion.
As a designer and developer myself, I must say that WPF is well crafted to function in a designer/developer team split. Blend is a phenomenal tool that inspires creativity and exploration for designers, allowing developers to continue coding without being
involved in UI changes.
As a developer one of the greatest aspects to WPF is the binding infrastructure. It's incredibly powerful, so powerful in fact that it is the driving force behind the MVVM pattern. This is certainly a benefit for your financial application since I imagine
you're manipulating quite a bit of data and displaying it. Simply said, binding reduces the majority of your code-behind "glue" code and lets you work more naturally with objects and properties.
Another aspect of learning WPF is that XAML, binding and the MVVM pattern are not going anywhere anytime soon. What you learn can carry over to Modern Apps and Windows Phone Apps. This still holds true for Windows 10 "Windows Apps".
Some people will tell you WPF is only for "fancy" UI apps. That's cute, and totally incorrect. WPF can help you build a better user experience even with the most subtle animations in your business apps. Meaningful animations like letting
the user know when an item has been filtered out by making it fade away or scale down. This might seem small, but to the user it is polish and better understanding. WPF was built to enable this.
If you're ready to move on to Modern Apps then by all means go down that path because it is clearly the blessed strategy by Microsoft at this time. If you're not, learning and moving your app to WPF is a great way to prepare for that step in the future..
I hope this helps :)

Down convert filed dominance

what's the best way of dealing with field dominance when going from HD to SD?
I've got an XDCAM movie file (quicktime) and i want to dub it to DVD. I put the movie in FCP with standard def sequence settings (lower even field dominance). And it doens't look too good as expected. I tried using the 'shiftfields' effect and it helps alot except there are still horizontal lines that make up the picture. The detail just isn't right.
Am I going about this the right way? Should I drop the whole project into after effects and then reoutput it?

Set up your AJA as such:
Primary 1080i 29.97 (or whatever your sequence settings are)
Secondary 525i 29.97
That will do the down convert, you should see a green arrow next to the analog out. Setting should be SMPTE
Make sure the component out on the AJA is hooked up to the component in on the DVD recorder, if you have one. If not, you may need another source to go S-video to the DVD recorder. (Maybe an external monitor?) Unless you spent a lot of money on a DVD recorder you may not have component capability there.
If you are going S-video you may want to tweak the Proc Amp settings in AJA before you output.
Then, play out of the timeline and record to the DVD recorder. If you want to author a DVD later in DVDSP, use Mpeg Straemclip to Demux to the elemental streams (mpeg2 and AIFF) and import those into DVDSP.
If you can't do any of these steps, post exactly what equipment you have and we'll figure out the best way.
Also, AJA has a complete PDF manual on their website. Starting at about page 48 is some info on the downconvert process. Don't know if they mention hooking up DVD recorders, but it's worth looking at.
Let me know if this helps.

Down convert or wait?

Hi, I'm just about to capture fotage HDV the end project is to be a dvd.
So i.m not sure which way to go for the best result.
1. do I capture HDV edit in hdv and then let compressor take care of the down convert to dv
or
2. with my new HVR-M15 let it convert to the fotage to dv from hdv
all the best
yes it's hot indoors today.

> Also I would squeeze it
(and edge clip),well my new deck will do that i ask
I don't quite understand what you're trying to achieve and where you want to start from. If you want to edit in HDV, then yes, you can use the hardware downconvert to achieve the aspect ratio you want.
Try this topic for some excellent advice particularly from Hanumang:
http://discussions.apple.com/thread.jspa?threadID=514970&tstart=0
> what would
the diffrence be if I conv to dvcam or sd again I
think dvcam would be best and that also works in the
dv-pal seq.
From what I gather , there's little or no difference between DV and DVCAM once it's Captured. I could be wrong but I think DVCAM is a slightly more reliable tape format (less dropped frames for one) than DV.

IPhoto converts AVCHD to MOV files - is it down converting?

I just bought a new camera yesterday. It is a Sony Cybershot WX150 which records HD video (1080i) in AVCHD format. When I import the files into iPhoto - which are then later exported as "originals" they are very small .MOV files. I am wondering if my AVCHD files are actually down converting or if they are just small MOV files because the AVCHD files are already compressed? Basically I want to make sure I'm not losing quality on import. Ultimately I would prefer that I had the original file instead. Does anyone have any input on this? Thank you.

The resolution that iPhoto of the exported photo from iPhoto is 1080 but that does not mean that it hasn't compressed or down converted. I know the resolution i am shooting at is 1080i. I would just like to know in the conversion process of AVCHD -> MOV if it is just re-wrapping or if it is actually converting. I am ok with a small MOV file like it gives but I do not want the original quality adjusted at all.
Unfortunately comparing the two on a computer screen may not tell the whole story and might look ok even if it is compressed.

Converting AE project into Adobe Premiere Pro project.

I have found the way to convert AE project into Adobe Premiere Pro project.
I use the following line of code:
app.executeCommand(app.findMenuCommandId("Adobe Premiere Pro Project ..."));
It works. But unfortunately it opens the SaveFileDialog window for the file name to be assigned.
I'd love not to see this window. I'd love to assign the file name programmatically. It would be great!
Is there any way to prevent the dialog window from opening?
Thank you.

Depends if you are on the cloud or not or the new 12.0 version. One way to do it is to import your AE footage into PP as pending on your puter....
Important to tell your version and OS when posting. What seems clear at your end is being asked from someone who has not seen your challenge.

Convert motion project into title template

I started working on a motion project, not sure what template to use, so I created a standard motion project. After working on the project for about 20 hours, I am now realizing that the title template would probably be the best option for this project even though I am not doing any actual titles. I was able to convert the project to a video effect template, but this is not really what I want. Is there some way to convert this project to a title template? Even if I have to copy/paste everything over to a new project, that would be a lot better than redoing the 20 hours that I've already spent on this thing. Since I can only have one project open at a time, I don't think copy/paste is even possible.

I think this will work for you.
-Select all the groups in your Motion project (or nest them in a single group.
-Drag the group(s) to the Library>Favorites.
-Create a new Final Cut title project with the same settings.
-Drag and Drop the group(s) from the Library>Favorites into the new Final Cut Title project.
Save and enjoy.

FM down converter in LabView. How?

Hello NI Developers!
I have Frequency Modulated (FM) Signal, with carrier frequency 1000Hz and message signal frequency 20Hz. I want to downconvert FM signal frequency to 200Hz. I searched through the forum and google and didn't find anything where would be at least algorithms or Math equations. How to downconvert FM signal?
The aim is down convert signal to low frequencies where it is easier to filter from noise.
Thank you in advance!

Hello,
You could try using the Scale Delta t VI (Functions >> Programming >> Waveform). As the help says, "Multiplies the delta t component of the waveform by the specified scale
factor. Generally, this lengthens or shortens the sample rate of the
waveform."
You could also take a look at the Resample Waveforms (continuous) VI (Functions >> Signal Processing >> Waveform Conditioning.
I hope this helps.

Converting RoboHelp project from v.4.1 to 8

I have problems with converting RoboHelp project created in
RoboHelp Office for Word version 4.1 into RoboHelp for Word version
8.
The project contains documents made in polish language.
Project opens fine in new version of RoboHelp, but during help
compilation to .chm file, I receive some errors. I found out, that
most of those errors are caused by polish characters in document
names. That's no problem - finaly I can modify it. However why it
was not problem in older version of RoboHelp ?
Real problem I have is with TOC - after compilation I don't
have any polish letters in topic names: they are changed for other
letters or characters.
I've made a little project (one simple document in polish
with few topics) in RoboHelp 8 with the same settings like in my
original old project - unfortunately after compilation I received
same errors with TOC.
I think that I missed something in project settings, but I
don't know what it may be. My other idea: RoboHelp doesn't support
polish language anymore :( because I don't see it in list File >
Project Settings > Language.
Please help me to solve this problem.

The information she provided was from QuickTime Player.
It would seem that the tapes were shot that way (for whatever reason).
She can try capturing the tapes again, maybe it will make a difference, maybe not.
A couple of things to try before starting to recapture:
Deleting FCP Preferences:
Open a Finder window. Set the view mode to columns:
Click the house icon that has your name next to it.
Click the folder "Library" in the next column.
Find and click the folder "Preferences" in the next column.
Find and click the folder "Final Cut Pro User Data" in the next column.
Move the files "Final Cut Pro 4.0 Prefs", "Final Cut Pro Obj Cache" and "Final Cut Pro Prof Cache" to the Trash and empty it.
Open the project in Final Cut Pro. Go to the menu bar: Final Cut Pro > Easy Setup > NTSC DV > OK
Menu bar again: Sequence > Settings > Load Sequence Preset > OK > OK.
The procedure above has reset FCP to it's default values and set the project for NTSC DV.
If the warning still appears, it is not an FCP problem.

How can I convert .cp projects from Captivate 2 to .cptx projects for Captivate 7?

How can I convert .cp projects from Captivate 2 to .cptx projects for Captivate 7? Do I have to use some other version between 2 and 7 to do this?

I doubt you are going to be able to find all those previous versions and the time it would take to install, open the project, verify it, and everything in between (and without license keys, they would only be saved from trial versions which would be an issue), it seems it would be better just to start with Cp7 and put the effort into that.
Completely off topic, one of the things I like about Authorware is that Macromedia provided previous versions that would allow you to open up and save the projects to get to version 7. It was a nice little touch they provided for developers. I don't believe that Adobe does this for Captivate though.

VC project to MS project
I find some information in the help file, and...I wonder if the customer misunderstands the function he tried to "convert" VC project to MS project
Maybe we can ask he why he wants to do it, the problem he has, the purpose he would like to do or something else
(Another tip. Don't forget to see the help file)
Using the Measurement Studio Add/RemoveComponents Wizard
This wizard allows you to add and remove components from your existing Measurement Studio projects. For example, you can add the 3D graph component to a project that acquires data. When you add and/or remove components from an existing project, Measurement Studio saves a backup copy of your .dsp and .dsw files to a subdirectory named MStudio_Backup. The backup copies contain "_mstudio_xxx" in the file name, where "xxx" is a number that distinguishes the backup file from other backup files.
Caution: Visual Studio calls the .dsp file from the .dsw file. When you load a backup .dsw, it calls the updated .dsp file instead of the backup copy of the .dsp, which prevents you from opening the backup copy of the project. If you must open the backup copy of the project, ensure that the .dsw and .dsp files are in the original directory and rename the files to their original names. This overwrites the updated project. To avoid losing information, National Instruments recommends that you perform this step with extreme caution and only when absolutely necessary.
Using the Measurement Studio Project Conversion Wizard
This wizard allows you to convert Measurement Studio version 1.0 projects to Measurement Studio version 6.0 so that you can apply the latest features to your project.
When you convert your version 1.0 project to version 6.0, Measurement Studio saves a backup copy of your .dsp and .dsw files to a subdirectory named MStudio_Backup. The backup copies contain "_mstudio_xxx" in the file name, where "xxx" is a number that distinguishes the backup file from other backup files.
Caution: Visual Studio calls the .dsp file from the .dsw file. When you load a backup .dsw, it calls the updated .dsp file instead of the backup copy of the .dsp, which prevents you from opening the backup copy of the project. If you must open the backup copy of the project, ensure that the .dsw and .dsp files are in the original directory and rename the files to their original names. This overwrites the updated project.
