DV material/8mm bottom fram issue

Hi guys, if anyopne has ever used final cut to import and edit some 8mm/hi8/D8 material, I was wondering if you could explain to me how to not have the bottom of the fram line. Its very smal but its always at the bottom of the fram. Like a sort of distortion or something. I hope that kinda makes sense, its hard to describe without a screen shot. I wonder if this is jsut a 8 mm thing only. If I remember correct I beleive imovie used to do it as well. Is there anyway of not having it or is it a thing to live with. Thanks if you need better details please ask. I am sorry I have no screen shot as I have to use public internet as I don't have net right now. Hope this all made some sense. Ciao

The skew is a result of timing errors that are often present in analog recordings. You can reduce them through inserting a time base corrector (tbc) between the analog source and the digitizer.
The Canopus ADVC-300 has a line tbc built in which can help. It won't be as effective as a full frame tbc but the device comes software to help you deal with chroma shift and other issues before the material is captured. It can save a fair bit of time if you are dealing with a lot of material.
good luck,

Rotated image/frame issue

I'm using Frame 8 and Acrobat 3D 8 and having issues with rotated images or frames. When printing to paper, the graphics are fine, but if I print to PDF, the top of the image is cropped. Text lines are visible but the top inch of the imported graphic is not. I wonder if this is a setting in Acrobat or a Frame issue.
Any help would be appreciated.

Jpeg is a particularly bad format for screen captures. Tiff would be
better; I don't know enough about png. Ages ago, in a much earlier
version, I had trouble with large bitmaps printing properly in Frame
(not exactly the same problem - they were printing fine for about 3/4 of
the page and then it printed all "bunched up" and the bottom 1/4 didn't
print). I started using EPS (bitmap eps, saved from Photoshop). This not
only solved the problem, it had the added benefit of displaying much
faster (because the eps files had only a low-res preview, so Frame
didn't hesitate on each graphic to read in the whole file).
I'd be happy to look at one of your pngs, see if it works here, but I'm
on Frame 7 (just ordered Frame 9), so I'm not sure if my results would
be relevant. Zip and send to kbenson at pegtype dot com

Material wise reciept and Issue report with Opening and Closing Stock

Hi
I need a report,Material wise Receipt and issue with Opening and Closing stock.Is there any standard report available in SAP ?
Or we have to go for Customised Report.
Please reply

Hi,
MB5B gives total receipts - if i click on the receipts i can view the multiple material documents - BUT is there any way to drill down the reciepts or view the breakup of the receipts on the same screen OR is there any other report for this.
Regards,
Laxmi

Material stock received and issued for a given period of time

HOW to get the material stock received and issued for a given period of time including the open orders.
if there is any BAPI Available then please tell me. or give me the table relations thaks.
thanks inadvance

hi friend,
Why don't you try using a TIMER. Try using this code
Timer timer = new Timer((TIMER), new ActionListener()
public void actionPerformed(ActionEvent ae)
// perform your task here...
timer.setInitialDelay(TIMER);
timer.setRepeats(true);
timer.start();
I think this will work fine.
Bye,

Dropped frames issue on a G5 2.7DP w/DV footage

Let me first tell you my setup:
G5 2.7 DP
8 GB RAM
WiebeTech TrayDock eSATA 4-bay drive enclosure w/Sonnet 4+4 eSATA PCI Card
(2) 400 GB Seagate Barracudas in the enclosure RAIDed in a striped config using Apple's Disk Utility
10.4
FCP 5
At seemingly random times, playback from the timeline will stutter and stop, thus throwing up the dropped frames dialog box. If I re-play from the same point, it will normally play. This has happened on several current projects in which I'm working in DV. I've also worked on a project in 8bit uncompressed using my Kona LS card with the same drives, and had the same error.
I've had this issue ever since I setup this system--from the first install of FCP5 to the most recent update of 5.0.3, as well as from 10.4.2 to 10.4.3. I've tried turning off the internal Airport card in the G5, and quitting all other programs.
There is a little utility that came with the Kona card to test data rate of your drives. I'm getting well over 100 MB/s Read, and slightly less write rates, so it seems like drive speed isn't an issue.
What is the weak link here? WiebeTech was nice enough to send me a replacement eSATA PCI card, and the issue hasn't gone away, so it wasn't a bad card, although I guess there could be some flaw inherent in all of the cards.
What other steps should I take to try and isolate/solve this problem? This is kind of embarrasing that I can't play DV footage on the timeline without the possibility of dropping frames--even when working with only one layer of video.
I'm capturing video to the eSATA RAID, and my project files/graphics reside on an internal SATA drive in G5 (not the boot drive--I added another seagate 250 gb). Seems like there should be enough throughput in this thing to handle basic edits, but I'm beginning to have my doubts....
Your ideas?????

Clay,
Regarding your statement "My thinking initially about my workflow was to not keep them on the same drive as the footage because my feeling is that the RAID isn't as "safe" as the single 250 GB drive I have inside the G5".
I store all of my media, GFX and project files on whatever FW drive I happen to be using for a project. I NEVER have media for a specific project on two or more drives. For safety's sake, I ALWAYS have my Autosave Vault set to my internal drive, with a relatively high save rate (every 10 min). That way if the FW drive ever failed completely, I'd at least have a recent copy of the project file to work with (even if I have to redigitize the footage or redo the GFX). All I can say is keep all of your media (per project) on one drive - it's been kind of the Bible in this industry for years, and as far as I know it hasn't changed.
As far as RAID's go, I'm no expert. But if I remember correctly, back in my old Avid days we also used to avoid having the media on different striped partitions - something else you may want to try if you're media is spread across a few stripes.
It seems like I've run across more than a few posts here regarding the same problem happening on Dual 2.7's. You may want to do a more thorough search here to see what you come up with. All I can say is I'm running FCP 5.0.3 on a G5 Dual 2.0 with only 2.5 meg of RAM and have had no dropped frame issues.
Try Matt's suggestion of playing some footage off of your boot drive (NOT recommended for everyday use!). If it works then it's got to be a problem with your RAID and not FCP.
Good Luck!

How to overcome "dropped frame" issues on my project

Hey reader,
I have a MacBook Pro 2.4GHz with 250GB hd (85GB free just now) running 10.4.11, FCE HD 3.5 (and QT 7.5.5) and using a Sony Handycam DCR-HC96 (which is works BEAUTIFULLY with iMovie 08 and 6 and is always used with Sony tapes) and I am not able to "capture" the tape content to my MacBook Pro because of the "dropped frame" issue.
The camera is connected to the external hard drive chain via Firewire cable to the MacBook Pro and I was trying to capture to the internal hard drive. I am in the UK and am still struggling to get my head around the different frame rates but initially I got the dreaded "dropped frames were encountered during the last capture attempt" and it just wouldn't work, so I unselected the report dropped frames tab and abort capture in User Preferences as was suggested on here.
Now I get "Capture encountered a problem reading data on your source tape. This could be due to a problem with the tape. Capture has been aborted and your clip has been saved" but the tape is fine (heads are also clean) as I had to (under time pressure, me) use iMovieHD 6 instead and it worked like a CHARM.
What can I do to use this software?
I KNOW I can import the iMovie footage but the disadvantage is the eternal rendering, I guess. I only ever used it once (because of its difficulties) and that was for pre-existing footage from iMovie and it was OK if not perfect. Just had to have a few hours extra for the constant rendering in preview...
Should I try to capture to one of the external hard drives? I read that the internal might be a problem as it is busy with the operating system jobs.
Please and thank you.

I got some dropped frames last night and posted this before noticing your post:
There can be a number of reasons for getting dropped frames during capture.
Yesterday I videoed a relative's wedding (in HDV) and on getting home late I captured the footage into FCP 6.0.3 only to find in a couple of places I got an abort on dropped frames.
This morning I decided to recapture and did so without a single dropped frame.
Why ? ......... there are several possibilities.
It could be that there was some physical problem with the tape or camera heads but I believe it was most likely caused by my camera's power supply.
Last night I used the battery whilst this morning I plugged in the power connector.
I feel that this provided a more constant supply of full power and helped prevent frames from being dropped. (The fact I was using FCP is immaterial as the dropped frames would almost certainly have also occurred in FCE).
From now on I will always use the power connector during transfer to and from the camera.

Official comment from Apple about the drop frame issue?

Is Apple going to firmware fix the skipping drop frame issue on the Apple tv?
Or is it hardware related?
Too many of us seem to have experienced this issue for it not to be addressed.
It shouldn't be difficult to fix.
My 1st gen atv was fine.
I should have kept it.

Hopefully it can be fixed. Seeing as Apple has not even acknowledged it I returned mine yesterday since I was coming up on my 30 day return deadline. At least this way I'm not stuck with a device that has a hardware issue.
As of yesterday I have seen this issue on 10 different New Apple TV units, all on different HD sets, different network setups etc. Half of the owners had never noticed it. Two of those were adamant they did not have the problem and one of those still insisted they didn't after I spotted it multiple times. So while the issue has been present on 100% of the units I have seen, its not necessarily noticeable to everyone. I have noticed its much easier to spot on larger displays and when the display quality itself is higher, for example easier to spot on a higher quality 61" 1080p set than a lower quality 720p 26".
If you have the option I would return the unit. Worse case is your don't have the unit, which is not functioning 1005 anyway, for a short period and then grab it again if the issues get addressed.

Potential workaround for green frame issue

Hi,
We are sorry for the the inconvenience caused by green frame issue on some laptop models.
To work around the issue that some users are experiencing in the 1.6 version on specific machines, current suggestions is to add 3 more lines above the last two lines of shared.xml that is located in the C:\Users\your_username\AppData\Local\Packages\Microsoft.SkypeApp_kzf8qxf38zg5c\LocalState
Note: Make sure Skype is closed (press ALT+F4 with the Skype app open) while you are modifying shared.xml file and make sure you save the changes in the file before starting Skype again.
Also if you don't see AppData folder in C:\Users\your_username go to View tab and check Hidden items checkbox.
</Lib>
</config>
should be replaced with
<Video>
<EnableWideSupport>0</EnableWideSupport>
</Video>
</Lib>
</config>
Please try this and post if it solved your issue.
Thank you in advance

In addition to the above fix, we would be grateful if you were experiencing green video that you help us by doing this:
Please go to Search, type dxdiag and run dxdiag.exe, go to Save All information and send generated DxDiag.txt file to kmudrovcic at hotmail.com.
Thank you in advance

720p60 P2/HD Dropped Frame Issue

I'm having a dropped frame issue in FCP with some P2 720-60p footage. I can't get it to play through a sequence without freezing and giving me a warning. We've narrowed it down to an apparent processor issue. There are two tracks of audio (a stereo pair), and two tracks of music (again, a stereo pair). When we turn off the music, the sequence plays fine. But when the music goes back on, the sequence chokes. The funny thing is, I just did an HD project shot in 24p/n with several tracks of audio and several tracks of video and, aside from needing to render certain things, it played fine.
Any ideas?
Here are the specs:
P2 footage originated in 720/60p
AUDIO/VIDEO SETTINGS:
Sequence Preset: DVCPro HD 720p60
Video Playback: None (there isn't an output card for this computer).
SEQUENCE SETINGS:
Frame Size: 960x720 (HD 960x720 16:9)
Pixel Aspect Ratio: HD (960x720)
Editing Timebase: 59.94
Compressor: DVCPro HD 720p60
Audio Rate: 48 kHz
Depth: 24
Config: Default
Any ideas here?
Thanks,

Then it's pointing at a throughput problem between the RAID and the server I'll guess. Trouble shooting that could be interesting. Can you move the media to a local drive?
I'd also be interested to see what AJA's read/write speeds are on that RAID from your station...
Post the gear between your mac and the server etc.. whose RAID is it, How is it formatted? Got a model number of each of the devices involved? Mac Server?

You've selected the "Easy setup" for the format you're editing too, right?

Need help lining up centered top & bottom frames

Can anyone help, other than advising not to use frames...
I don't use them as a rule, but need to for one project. I'm
using 2 frames, top and bottom.. Dreamweaver 8. The width of the
centered tables in both frames are the same, but shift when content
is added. Is there any workaround or help that anyone can provide.
This is urgent!!
You will be my friend for life if you can provide any help!
Thanks!

Textarea in Frame issue

I have a hopefully simple question to answer but I have not been able to find a solution;
I have a web application that uses frames and iframes.
When viewed from an iPad/iPhone (any version) I have a problem with my textareas.
If I have a textarea within a frame/iframe and the user selects text to copy, or some other action other than typing in the textarea, the user is not able to edit the textarea afterwards and must move the cursor to a new element on the page, then back, before being able to edit the original text area.
Here is a simple example:
<iframe>
<textarea>this has problems accepting text after editing</textarea>
</iframe>

I am also experiencing this issue. I have been looking for a solution but so far only have the following workarounds as options:
If the form contains multiple inputs, the Next/Previous buttons at the bottom of the screen are active. Press Next, followed by Previous and you can once again type in the textarea that was previously frozen.
If you are using the onscreen keyboard, you can hide/show the keyboard and you can once again enter text into the textarea.
NOTE: If you are using a bluetooth keyboard, the workaround in #2 no longer works so you need to rely on option #1.
This has been shown on iPad version 1, 2, 3, and 4 with iOS 6 & 7.
If anyone finds a solution to this, it would be greatly appreciated.

Application Frame Issue

The Application Frame window opens up too tall on both my monitors. I cannot resize it nor access any of the tools at the bottom. Is there any other way to resize it except by grabbing it with the cursor and dragging the edge, since obviously I cannot do that when it sits offscreen?

Does switching to another Workspace have any effect?
If you are on Mac what happens if you hit the green button top left?
If all else fails you could try trashing prefs by keeping command-alt-shift/ctrl-alt-shift pressed while starting Photoshop after making sure all customized presets like Actions, Patterns, Brushes etc. have been saved and making a note of the Preferences you’ve changed.

Frame issue in Workspace with IE8/XP/Reader 9.4

When a user opens a form from a "to do" in Workspace, the form opens in a frame outside of and superimposed over the normal Workspace interface. This obscures the user action buttons, which stops the process at that user (since they can perform no actions). The "save" button is partially visible and can be clicked, as can the "Task Details" tab.
Any suggestions for how to deal with this framing problem? Obviously the user can access the form from another computer, but if this issue is related to software configuration, I would prefer to resolve it that way, since many users in our environment have this configuration.
Thanks
Toby

I am unable to reproduce the problem on my IE8/XP/Reader 9.4 platform. After updating to Reader 9.4 I did have to re-enable the Reader Internet Preference to allow the pdf to display within the browser. You can check that setting in your Reader preferences but I don't think that is your problem. When it was off I was prompted to intall Reader, it did not try to open the Workspace pdf outside of Workspace.
What is the zoom setting on your browser? I believe there is a problem if the zoom level on I.E. 8 is more than 100%. If it is higher try setting it to 100%, closing your browser and then try opening the Workspace task again.
Hope that helps.

Scrollable Frame issue on iPad 'Adobe Viewer'

I'm wondering if anyone else has this issue when previewing a folio with the iPad viewer.
The issue is when I have a full (or even part) page scrollable frame on a page and once I have vertically swiped/scrolled to the end of the scrollable frame, then the next vertical swipe seems to stick much more than usual and requires a much longer/sustained swipe to get it to move on to the next page.
This issue is only occuring when previewing a folio on the iPad viewer. It behaves as expected (short normal swipes) when previewed on the Desktop 'Content Viewer'. It also behaves as expected when simply previewing from the Folio Overlays panel – both on the Desktop viewer and iPad viewer. It also behaves if I import the article as PNG format into a folio, however I am requiring vector quality/display for this project so can't ignore the issue.
It also does not fix the issue to select 'raster' rather than 'vector' in export options within the 'scrollable frame' folio overlay panel.
My first thought was that maybe this is just a quirk of the iPad viewer, but the fact that the behaviour works in most other scenarios has me guessing. Maybe i am missing something somewhere which may explain this. I see the use of Scrollable Frames in this manner within many apps (in vector/PDF) without experiencing this issue, hence why I am leaning towards it being a quirk of the viewer when as a folio with a PDF scrollable frame.
I am using the latest viewers (Desktop and iPad app). The folio's tested trying to resolve this issue have been in both v26 and v27. Using InDesign CS6 on Mac. Same issue happens whether iPad is horizontal or vertical.
Please let me know if you need any further details on my setup or what i have been testing if that will help.
Thanks
Ross

i had this problem once, in the folio producer have you given the folio a name, number and description?
also in the viewer on the ipad they are not nessecarily in the right order - so scoot about on it
if all else fails, delete the folio and re-upload, we had a glitch once and the only solution was to re upload

Import Excisable Raw Material on Custom Warehouse Issue

Hi Expert....
One of my client import Raw Material of 2000 KG on 15/02/2012 at Port Warehouse (Custom Bonded Warehouse). At the same time, Inventory Asset GL should be affected on the same date.
This Material stored in Port Warehouse (Custom Bonded Warehouse). So i can not define as my warehouse as well as i can not assign my ECC no. to that warehouse.
That Material store on Port Warehouse (Custom Bonded Warehouse) & hence i can not create Excise Liability on same date (15/02/2012). But when client require material, suppose 500 KG material require on 01/03/2012,At that time Custom department send them Excise invoice & Custom Duty invoice copy of that 500 KG material. Hence Excise Duty (Incoming Excise Invoice) & Custom Duty liability should be create & affect in balance sheet on 01/03/2012 date.
Hence 1500 KG (2000 - 500) material would be left on Port Warehouse (Custom Bonded Warehouse).
Now, after that when again they require that material, suppose 300 KG on 05/03/2012, they again pay Excise & Custom Duty to Custom department of that 300 KG material on 05/03/2012.
Pls help me to find out solution of such scenario.
Thanks & Regards,
Vishal Dabhi

Quote" Please advice how do we issue items to a process order that have already been issued to a Cost Center. What is it that I am missing?"
Not possible. As the component has only one stock (no paralllel lifes here in SAP), if you issue it against a cost center, then you will have no stock to consume against the order.
I would suggest using Picking List (CO27), so the movement from Storage Location is "in fact" the issue to order, so no need to additional posting.
Or you can have some work around using non valuated materials.
So the value related to the component is debited to a cost center ( the purchasing order, for instance) but ths stock is consumed to an order.
If you give additional information or constraints, perhaps we can give some better approach.
