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.

Generate Photo Gallery XML for Spry with Adobe Bridge

Wanted to post a note to what I've discovered/worked out -- a
way to
generate a very useful photos.xml from Adobe Bridge. If you
use Bridge,
it's very easy to add titles, keywords, ratings -- all kinds
of metadata
that one might use in a photo gallery. Here it is in case
anyone wants
to use.
The script is based on one I found at the Adobe User to User
Bridge
Scripting Forum for exporting a CSV file.
Note 1: this particular script doesn't take into account
CDATA that
might exist in your metadata, like ampersands in your title.
I've just
avoided using those, but you could also have the script write
out a
CDATA node for that info instead.
Note 2: this script does not write out a thumbpath,
thumbwidth or
thumbheight attribute. But usually the thumbpath is the exact
same as
the regular "path" attribute, and the thumbwidth and
thumbheight are
just a ratio of the regular "width" and "height" attributes.
I added a
bit of JS to the gallery.js file to calculate those before
growing the
thumbnail on rollover.
Personally I'm using keywords as categories and titles as
captions and
sorting by rating (stars in Bridge), so here's the .jsx file
I created.
The script should be saved to the folder "StartupScripts" in
Program
Files/Common Files/Adobe.
Hope this is useful for others too!
#target bridge
if (BridgeTalk.appName == "bridge" ) {
// create menu
var menu = MenuElement.create( "command", "Export XML File",
"at the end
of Tools");
menu.onSelect = function(m) {
try {
// ask for the name of the output file
var f = File.saveDialog("Export XML file to:", "XML
File:*.XML");
if ( !f ) { return; }
// open filestream and write first line
f.open("w");
f.writeln("\<photos\>\r\r");
// get a list of all the visible thumbnails in Bridge
var items = app.document.visibleThumbnails;
for (var i = 0; i < items.length; ++i) { var item = items
f.writeln("\<photo path = \"" + item.name + "\"" + "\r" +

var Keywords = md.Keywords;
var varKeywords = "" ;
for ( var i = 0; i < Keywords.length; ++i ) { varKeywords
= varKeywords
+ Keywords + ","; }
return varKeywords;

I updated the script so it exports an XML file from Bridge
with full
compatibility with the Spry Demo Photo Gallery, to use as
photos.xml.
It's at the same address:
http://www.imagicdigital.com/spry/bridge_export_xml.zip
To Use:
The script goes in the folder "StartupScripts" in Program
Files/Common
Files/Adobe.
Launch Bridge and browse to a folder that contains the files
you want in
your gallery -- the "source" folder, as it were.
Choose the menu command "Tools > Export XML for Spry
Gallery".
Type a name for your XML file in the Save dialog box, choose
a location,
and hit "Save".
In the dialog box that pops up, enter a max length/width for
your
thumbnails, in pixels. Some common sizes are "75" , "100" or
"125".
Hit "OK". You should see an alert pop up telling you "XML
file
successfully created!"

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...

IPhoto unable to export EXIF information correctly for photos with color filters

I have imported photos from my phone to iPhoto and noticed that some of the photos do not have EXIF information when exporting to other places or synced back to iPhone.When I am trying to view the photo in iPhoto, the date is correctly shown.
The date shown in the iPhone photo moment tab is the import date rather than the original date when the photos were taken.
When I am trying toview the photo in iPhoto, the date is correctly shown.
(for example: the photo was taken in Dec 1, 2012, imported to iPhoto in Nov 1, 2014, and synced back to iPhone.
the date shown in iPhone is Nov 1, 2014, the date shown in iPhoto is Dec 1, 2012.)
After further looking into the details of the photo, i have noticed that theses photos are taken with color filters in iPhone or bursting photos or panoramas.
(e.g a mono or fade filter choosed when taking photo in iPhone camera).
When choose " reveal in finder" option in iPhoto for these photos, there are two options : view original or modified.
the original files contain EXIF information and the modified files do not.
the original files show photo without color filter
the modified files shows photo with color filter, the modified photos are what the photos were contained in iPhone originally.
When exported syncing these photos, the modified files was exported/synced, however, no EXIF information was exported. photos only contains the creation date.
These resulted in a mess in the photo collection in my phone. photos were displayed in wrong order.
When i export these photo to another location for back up purposes, i choose "include all location information, name, keyword", only the modified photos were exported without any EXIF information.
The only way I found is reveal these photos in finder.
iPhoto seems unable to export/sync photos that are taken with color filters/ panorama photos/ bursting photos.
is there any way to solve this problem? Thank you!

i have just taken a photo with effects and imported to iPhoto, The EXIF can be exported. The problem is syncing.
I think this problem only happen to photo taken before iOS 8.
EXIF of photo with effects unable be synced back to iPhone.
Apple acknowledged that the new Photos.app in iOS 8 is handling edits differently, see:
iPhoto and Aperture don't have edits to photos you import from iOS 8 devices
In iOS 8 edited versions are stored in a different way from previously. And it looks like there is now a bug, that prevents the older edited versions from being handled correctly.
Send a bug report to Apple. You could use the feedback form, if you do not have a developer account: http://www.apple.com/feedback/iphoto.html

Exporting Of Entire Library for use with Tversity and PS3

I'm a recent Mac owner and my background is windows. I have a setup at home where all my photos are backed up to a windows server which uses tversity to distribute photos etc to my PlayStation 3 for display on my television. I want to use the Mac as the source for my photos. Having imported all my photos into iPhoto I have realised that my standard concept of organising all my photos into folders based on the month they were taken is perhaps outdated and iPhoto creates it's own library. I still want to be able to view the photos on the PS3 so somehow need to get the files back to my windows PC.
I have the following questions:
1. Is there any software that will keep the iPhoto library in sync with another external folder structure, making changes as necessary when photos are added/modified? (This is a long shot I know).
2. Assuming not can I export the entire library to the windows PC? If I can what happens to the folder structure and file names? Is it possible to export just changes from a point in time?
3. Are exported photos always the latest version of the photo including any edits that have been made?
4. I'm struggling to understand how Albums, Projects and Events relate to the underlying folder structure that I am used to. I prefer to have the photos organised into smaller folders by month, preferably with the date and time in the filename. Is there a way to force iPhoto to maintain this type of structure?
Apologies if any of these are stupid questions. I've had a good look through the forums and can't find any answers that address this issue.

iPhoto has no cross platform ability at all. It may well not be the app for you.
1. Is there any software that will keep the iPhoto library in sync with another external folder structure, making changes as necessary when photos are added/modified? (This is a long shot I know).
No.
2. Assuming not can I export the entire library to the windows PC? If I can what happens to the folder structure and file names? Is it possible to export just changes from a point in time?
You can export the files easily using the File -> Export command. A app like *_[Iphoto To Disk|http://www.Iphototodisk.com>_* will help automate the process for you.
3. Are exported photos always the latest version of the photo including any edits that have been made?
No, not always. If you choose 'Originals' in the export dialogue that's what you'll get.
'm struggling to understand how Albums, Projects and Events relate to the underlying folder structure that I am used to.
They don't. When you import photos to iPhoto they are stored in folders that reflect the Events in the iPhoto Window. But if you move files between Events in the iPhoto Window that's not reflected in how the files are stored on the HD. Albums are virtual, they are entirely constructs of the iPhoto Database. They have no corresponding folders on the HD at all. This is why a photo can be in 100 albums and use no extra disk space at all.
I prefer to have the photos organised into smaller folders by month, preferably with the date and time in the filename. Is there a way to force iPhoto to maintain this type of structure?
No.
The point of iPhoto is that it's about managing Photos not Files. The idea is to let iPhoto store the files and for you to forget about them and get on with organising the photos. You do all your work in the iPhoto Window and iPhoto tracks the relationship between what you decide and the actual files.
What you can do is run a Referenced Library.
*I strongly caution you against doing this because you are inexperienced with Macs and iPhoto*
It's a limited way to meet your requirements. You can decide how to store the unedited photos only. You still have no access to the edited ones except via iPhoto. Really, the best this offers is some comfort for people who have a burning need to see where the files are on the HD. It offers no functionality.
That said:
*How to do it:*
Simply go to iPhoto Menu -> Preferences -> Advanced and uncheck 'Copy Files to the iPhoto Library on Import'.
*What Happens:*
Now iPhoto will not copy the files, but rather simply reference them on your HD. To do this it will create an alias in the Originals Folder that points to your file. It will still create a thumbnail and, if you modify the pics, a Modified version within the iPhoto Library Folder.
*Some things to consider:*
1. Importing and deleting pics are more complex procedures. You have to to put the files where they will be stored before importing them. When you delete them you'll need to remove the files from the HD yourself.
2. You cannot move or rename the files on your system or iPhoto will lose track of them on systems prior to 10.5 and iPhoto 08. Even with the later versions issues can still arise if you move the referenced files to new volumes or between volumes.
3. Most importantly, migrating to a new disk or computer can be much more complex.
4. Because iPhoto has no tools for managing Referenced Files, if, for some reason, the path to the photos changes then you could find yourself resolving aliases for +each photo in the Library+ one by one.
My own opinion:
I've yet to see a good reason to run iPhoto in referenced mode unless you're using two photo organiser
If disk space is an issue, you can run an entire iPhoto Library from an external disk:
1. Quit iPhoto
2. Copy the iPhoto Library as an entity from your Pictures Folder to the External Disk.
3. Hold down the option (or alt) key while launching iPhoto. From the resulting menu select 'Choose Library' and navigate to the new location. From that point on this will be the default location of your library.
4. Test the library and when you're sure all is well, trash the one on your internal HD to free up space.
If you're concerned about accessing the files, There are many, many ways to access your files in iPhoto:
*For Users of 10.5 and later*
You can use any Open / Attach / Browse dialogue. On the left there's a Media heading, your pics can be accessed there. Command-Click for selecting multiple pics.
Uploaded with plasq's Skitch!
You can access the Library from the New Message Window in Mail:
Uploaded with plasq's Skitch!
*For users of 10.4 and later* ...
Many internet sites such as Flickr and SmugMug have plug-ins for accessing the iPhoto Library. If the site you want to use doesn’t then some, one or any of these will also work:
To upload to a site that does not have an iPhoto Export Plug-in the recommended way is to Select the Pic in the iPhoto Window and go File -> Export and export the pic to the desktop, then upload from there. After the upload you can trash the pic on the desktop. It's only a copy and your original is safe in iPhoto.
This is also true for emailing with Web-based services. However, if you're using Gmail you can use iPhoto2GMail
If you use Apple's Mail, Entourage, AOL or Eudora you can email from within iPhoto.
If you use a Cocoa-based Browser such as Safari, you can drag the pics from the iPhoto Window to the Attach window in the browser.
*If you want to access the files with iPhoto not running*:
For users of 10.6 and later:
You can download a free Services component from MacOSXAutomation which will give you access to the iPhoto Library from your Services Menu. Using the Services Preference Pane you can even create a keyboard shortcut for it.
For Users of 10.4 and later:
Create a Media Browser using Automator (takes about 10 seconds) or use this free utility Karelia iMedia Browser
Other options include:
1. *Drag and Drop*: Drag a photo from the iPhoto Window to the desktop, there iPhoto will make a full-sized copy of the pic.
2. *File -> Export*: Select the files in the iPhoto Window and go File -> Export. The dialogue will give you various options, including altering the format, naming the files and changing the size. Again, producing a copy.
3. *Show File*: Right- (or Control-) Click on a pic and in the resulting dialogue choose 'Show File'. A Finder window will pop open with the file already selected.

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

Issues with speed changing on clips

i have a issue with speeding up clips. ive exported a slideshow and them imported it into imovie but noticed it was a bit too long..i tried speeding up the clip but when i do and try to play the clip it just shows a black screen..however if i hit backspace and revert it back to original it plays fine..any ideas whats going on? this is soo frusterating to go back and for between the two programs and be off by a few seconds? ?thanks

well the audio built into the slideshow clip im not worried about..but yes bascially its a bit too long..and for some reason the speed tool will change the width of the clip to a perfect length but then when i go to play on it and check it..i just get a black screen..its just quite irritating to have to go back and forth exporting and cause im 8 seconds to long or whatever you know. thanks everyone hopefully my descrition is better this time.
i have to try a regular video clip and see what happens..it may only be a iphoto slideshow issue.

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!

Unable to publish/export to word 2011 for Mac with Captivate 5

Although it seems most of the previous posts were from previous years, i am still experiencing this issue with being unable to publish to word or export captions to word. I receive the same errors that other users report asking me to make sure Word is installed, which it is. I saw something about a hotfix, but didn't see a link. What do i need to do to resolve this issue?

Just upgraded to 5.5 and am still experiencing the same issue with publishing to Word 2011 for MAC from Captivate. Can anyone help resolve this issue? This is functionality that i really need to use...of course...today!!

Annoying problem with speed change tools in FC7

I have a clip that is 8 seconds long. Halfway into the clip I want to slow down and freeze on the end frame. How do I do this?

This is trickier than it could be.
Double-click the clip in the Timeline to load the clip in the Viewer.
Click on the Motion tab and open the Speed area (Time Remap in FCP6).
Move to half-way through your clip.
Click the Insert/Delete Keyframe button to create a new keyframe.
Press the right arrow to move forward one frame and press the button again to create a second keyframe.
Right-click that second keyframe in the keyframe graph and choose Smooth. You may need to zoom in (command-plus) to get the right one.
Press the down arrow to jump to the end of your clip and press the Insert/Delete Keyframe button a third time to create a new keyframe at the end of the clip.
In the keyframe graph, drag this final keyframe down a little. The curve should dip to a flat line to indicate a freeze frame. You may need to tweak the bezier handle on the second keyframe to adjust the speed ramp.
This feature isn't new, and for complex tasks it's still better than the new speed tool in FCP7. If you find it confusing, remember that horizontal movement takes you through the sequence and vertical movement takes you through the clip. If the line goes up, left to right, it's going forward. Down, left to right, is backward. Steeper lines (relatively speaking, because zooming changes angles) are faster, and a flat line is a freeze frame.

Focus point grouping for 6D with firmware change possible?

Does anyone know if it is possible with a firmware update to create an option to use just the center 9 focus points? This would make it similar to the 7D center group. I think this would be useful for some action shots. This might be one feature that may help me commit to Canon for my next camera. I am currently looking to upgrade to fullframe, but Canon seems to have taken out one feature too many in the 6D and leaves me stuck in the middle. I don't know whether to jump ship and and hassle with selling my beautiful 70-200 II zoom and the rest of the gear. As a consumer, I still like the option of a flash in certain bright background situations. Thanks.

I'm afraid you'll have to go to 7D or 5DIII to get Zone Focus or Expansion Points such as you want to use. 6D doesn't have it and I really doubt it ever will... that would be a pretty radical change to try to do via firmware... might not even be possible. But, hey, I'm no expert on writing firmware and some people manage to do some interesting camera hacks (search for Magic Lantern, for example).
But frankly, I shoot subjects like you want to shoot with just a Single Point most of the time with my 7Ds. Before that I did pretty much the same with 50D, 30D, and 10D. It takes some practice, but is the best way to insure focus is right where you want it as consistently as possible. Some days I take a couple thousand images and, with 7D and it's very quick AF, typically 97 or 98 percent are correctly focused, and I figure most of the missed focus shots are my fault, not the camera's. I had a few more missed focus with 50D and earlier, but still managed upward of 90 percent most of the time (when I was in practice).
I only use the Zone and Expansion modes occasionally on 7D. Mostly when the subject is large or is against a plain or very distant background. Otherwise the camera still might choose to focus using the wrong point.
The 5D Mark II has a form of expansion points, but it's done with 6 "hidden" Assist Points that aren'tt shown in the viewfinder, are clustered right around the center point, and only work in AI Servo mode. It's sort of as if the entire Spot Metering circle is one bid AF point. Unfortunately, this only moderately helps the 5DII with AI Servo/moving subjects. Tracking moving subjects just isn't the 5DII's forté. Only three of it's AF points are the "better" dual axis type (the visible center one and two of the hidden ones). The rest (8 visible and four more hidden ones) are single axis... some horizontal, some vertical. Heck, all nine of your 50D's AF points are dual axis type, so to some extent it has a better sports/action focus system than the 5DII. I'm not knocking the 5DII, it's a great camera for other things.... just not so much for sports/action shooting.
On 7D, 5DIII the difference between Zone Focus and Expansion is that in Zone any of the points or even multiple points can be the "starting point" for focusing. In other words, it's like one large focusing point that will pick up on whatever object covered by any of the points is closest (like a smaller version of All Points/Auto Selection). In Expansion you choose a single "starting point", but the camera can switch to using one of the adjacent points if you don't keep the starting point on the subject.
I'd recommend 7D... there are some other advantages to using a crop camera for sports, as well. It's sort of like having a "free" 1.6X teleconverter and, since a lot of sports photography is done with telephoto lenses, a cropper helps leverage your longer lenses for all they're worth. For example, I use a 300/4 IS on 7D a lot for sports, easily handheld. If I were using any of the full frame models, to fill the viewfinder the same way I'd have to get out the 500/4 iS and a solid tripod to put it on (or at least a monopod).
Yes, it's got higher frame rate, too... Though to be honest I try to avoid using it too much... 8fps fills up memory cards and hard drives fast... and can mean a lot more time spent sitting at a computer editing the results. I found 7D an excellent upgrade from 50D. The 7D has very fast AF, ideal for AI Servo work... It's got a discrete chip handling AF, much like the 1D series have. AFAIK, 6D and 5DIII don't have that.

Imovie '09 v8.0.5 bugs with speed change and titles

OK so here is what I'm experiencing.
I take a clip and change the speed. Then I add transition from the previous clip to this one and all of a sudden I cannot play the video again. I can't delete the slowed down clip even. I can play video that is in the events library, but not that in my project. When I do mouse over the beginning of my video and play I can hear the sound but it is like it is far off in the distance and the video is just solid gray. I have run into many other similar bugs when changing the speed of a clip but could always delete the clip, quit, relaunch, and try again. With this problem I added a transition and can't even delete the clip. Apple please address this issue. Thanks!

I am having the exact same issue. Change the speed of a clip in the project, then the ongoing video screen no longer displays the project correctly (but does display when playing clips from the library). This happened recently as I've made several older projects on iMovie 09 using multiple speeds. Perhaps a bug with the 8.0.5 update.

Entire audio pitch correction WITH speed change, I am lost.....

Hello, here's what I need to do but I can't figure out exactly how to do it and no online videos on the subject can be found :
I have a song that needs to be in the key of A, but since it was recorded from analog tape the pitch is NOT A but a bit above the A mark and it's the same for the entire file (I can see it clearly on the Pitch View Window),
all I wanna do is to "drag" entire file to the right A key point which SHOULD change the tempo/duration too, the question is HOW ??
HELP please as I'm sure it's something simple I'm missing out .
thanks

Okay you should have it then.
In Edit (Waveform) view) hit Effects then select Time and Pitch. On the T&P menu select "Stretch and Pitch (Process)" which should be the bottom option.
There you should see one of these two screens depending which algorithm is selected. If Audition is selected, you'll see:
Tick the menu option I've arrowed.
Or, in the Izotope algorithm (my recommendation), it'll be similar.with the menu option, phrased slightly differently but in the same place.

Audio will slow down with speed change, but not speed up

I'm using FCP 6.0.6 and am trying to adjust the speed of an audio clip and some odd things are happening.
If I change the speed of a clip to, say, 130%, the clip shortens appropriately, but the audio don't change. It just crops it off. And in the speed dialog box, the drop down menu is grayed out and Constant Speed is chosen.
If I choose to slow down the clip, to say 75%, everything seems to work. The audio is slowed, the clip lengthens, but then I can't change it to anything else. It says slow regardless of any adjustments in the speed dialog box. I have to go back through "Undo"s to get it to change.
Am I doing something wrong? I read some questions about this with people using FCP 7 and that seems like how mine should be working.
Thanks in advance,
Mark

Well, it is an .AIFF file converted from .WAV in Quicktime. It is 187.5 megs and has a datarate of 344.5 k/sec. It is stereo at 44.1K and has a 32-bit Floating point.
That help? I actually just was able to do the time compression in Soundtrack Pro. But I'm sure I've done it in the past directly in FCP.

Data filtering in XML report with out changing the underlying query

Hi, This is Nagesh and from Verizon.
I'm testing Query based XML report in Peoplesoft 9.1 app with tools version 8.5.
I'm trying to filter the data on XML Report template with out changing the underlying PS query. I mean filter the data on the report to only specific accounts though the underlying PS query query return transactions booked to all Accounts for a given Legal Entity. Is it possible. any advise or idea is highly appreciated.
Thanks
Ages

If the value is not of importance how come it became obligatory in your program?
Any how you can do one thing...Put some value in your obligatory field, put a debugger point where you are interested in and use the pencil tool to change the value of the field while debugging.
