Web ADI Export icon does nothing

Hi experts
The integrators have been installed and the EXPORT icon worked successfully at one time. Not sure what happened, a click on the EXPORT icon does not do any thing at all. This is in our DEV instance. Now our TEST instance works perfectly.
Any pointers on what might have went wrong in DEV or what to compare between the 2 instances, that it works in one and not in the other?
We are upgrading from 10.7 to R12. Database is 11g. OS is Linux.
Thanks

HI,
Do you find any error in BNE logs.
Please check 'BNE Server Log Path' to locate server patch where log will get created. Also to check name of log file check profile option 'BNE Server Log Filename'. If you are not see any logs then can you increase log level and see if anything is captured their, it can be changed using profile option 'BNE Server Log Level', change it to trace for max information. Also can you check access_log(latest) to see if their is any error.
Thanks,

Changing the _alpha value of a movie does nothing for me

Hi
This is probably a real basic problem but it has had me
tearing my hair out.
I have two movies which I have moved into position
programatically and now I wish to alter the _alpha value of them.
Putting a trace on the fadeMovie function shows that the
value is decreasing but I can see no visual affect
Please help!!!!!
var words = new Array("Traffic Conversion Rates are falling",
"Text2", "Text 3");
var word = new String("As A Result Sales Are Falling");
var canvasSize = 550;
var midPoint = canvasSize/2;
var screenClearCount = 1;
var currentAction = 1;
var TextSpacing = 70;
attachMovie("TextDesc_1", "Text_mc", 1);
Text_mc._x = -250;
Text_mc._y = 100;
Text_mc.textDesc = words[0];
attachMovie("TextDesc_1", "texthold_mc", 2);
texthold_mc._x = 600;
texthold_mc._y = 150;
texthold_mc.textDesc = word;
onEnterFrame = function () {
if (currentAction == 1) {
actionOne();
if (currentAction == 2) {
fadeMovie(Text_mc)
fadeMovie(texthold_mc)
// fadeMovie(texthold_mc)
function moveMovieClip(movie, moveDirection) {
if (moveDirection == "Forwards") {
movie._x += 10;
} else {
movie._x -= 10;
function actionOne() {
trace("Action one");
if (Text_mc._x<=((midPoint)-(Text_mc._width/2))) {
moveMovieClip(Text_mc, "Forwards");
} else if
(texthold_mc._x>=((midPoint)-(texthold_mc._width/2))) {
moveMovieClip(texthold_mc, "Backwards");
} else {
currentAction = 2;
function fadeMovie(movie) {
if (movie._alpha>0) {
movie._alpha -= 10;

I have only glanced at the code, but it would appear that you
are trying to fade movieclips that contain text (either that or you
name your movie clips really wierdly!).... Anyway try embedding the
text. Hope this helps.

Opacity problems with exported movie

Hi all
I'm having an issue with Motion 5. My project is 3046x1080 @ 30fps with a transparent canvas as a background and I have my timeline with about 5 clips all placed in seperate layers. All I'm trying to do is fade from one clip to the next so I first tried the 'Fade in/out' behaviour on each clip at 30 (I'm working at 30fps so this is 1 second?) and nothing appeared to happen on the canvas. It was only once I had the fade in time up to 100 when I started to see any fading on the canvas. I tried an export to quicktime as a test, but all the clips that had a fade in didn't fade in at all the just cut. So, I then went in and set all the fades manually - adjusting the opacity with keyframes only to have the same result as before.
The exported movie does retain the transparent background however - Motion just seems to be ignoring the opacity levels I've set. The only alternative I have found is to copy all my content across to my other machine and use Motion 4 - but that cripples that machine, certainly at this resolution I"m working at! Fortunately the clip I'm working on is only 30 seconds long....
Anyone got any ideas? I've searched the board but haven't found anything...
Many thanks

Thanks for the reply! I had checked to make sure everything was lined up but I double checked and indeed the fade in/out behaviour were indeed lined up to the clip. The export was also set to Colour + Alpha.
Upon further testing, as I don't really want to endure working at this resolution in Motion4, I've found my error - I didn't have the premultiplied Alpha enabled - I seem to remember I had a problem with that in the past hence turning it off.
So that appears to have solved my problem.....

Why won't final cut pro x let me "export movie"?

Every time i select the export movie option nothing happens. No windows or messages appear. Please help!

Version 10.0
and i select "share" then go down to "export movie" and select that. after i do that, nothing happens. usually a window would pop up but nothing will show up now. no matter how many times i click it.

I recently did a restore to factory settings on my 2009 macbook and now im stuck on the welcome screen where u choose the country my trackpad allows me to move the arrow around but when i tap continue to choose it does nothing. someone please help

I recently restored my 2009 macbook to factory settings and now its stuck on the welcome screen where u choose your country. My trackpad allows me to move the arrow around but when I tap on it to select continue it does nothing at all. The only thing else it will allow me to do is go thru the voice over tutorial by pressing escape. Please help me fix this I need to use my computer.

Hi, teezbreezy64.
I found a couple of resources to help troubleshoot the issue you are experiencing. The first is this article named Intel-based Mac notebooks: Troubleshooting unresponsive trackpad issues found here http://support.apple.com/kb/TS1248.
Try disconnecting the MagSafe connector from the computer and check the trackpad function. If the trackpad becomes responsive again, improper grounding may be the issue.
If a two-prong AC plug is being used with the power adapter, try using the three-prong power cable that shipped with your computer and plug it into a grounded outlet.
If the issue persists, make sure the third prong is present and do not use an adapter to enable the three-prong adapter to be used in a two-prong outlet. Note that the ground in the three-prong outlet may not be connected. This is common in older homes or buildings with replaced outlets. In these situations, the three-prong power cable will not improve trackpad responsiveness.
If a grounded outlet is not available, rest your palm on the palm rest when using the trackpad. This should enable the trackpad to function properly.
If that does not resolve the issue then I recommend resetting the SMC on your computer. Here is an article on how to do that:
Intel-based Macs: Resetting the System Management Controller (SMC)

Brand new iMac 21", freeze. Mouse movies, but does nothing

We just opened a brand new iMac 21" literally yesterday (purchased within the last three weeks). It was on for about an hour with no problems whatsoever. Then, while transferring photos to iPhoto, the system interface randomly froze. You can move the mouse around the screen, but it does nothing. You can't click anything. Hard resets/shutdowns result in the system rebooting back to the desktop like normal, but the mouse stays in this semi-frozen state. You can movie the pointer, but you can't actually interact with anything to fix the problem. Nothing brings it out of this state. We're not terribly experienced with Macs (new owner) and also snowed in to boot.
Has anybody encountered problems like this before? How do I fix this freeze?
Message was edited by: ThirdMarioBro

My suggestion with a new Mac that is having those problems is to take it back to the Apple Store and ask them to fix it. Beside allowing them to solve the problem that will also give them the chance to document the problem with your Mac just in case it should happen again.

When safari is in full screen mode and I move the mouse to the top of the screen to bring up the menu bar and the bookmark bar, it does nothing. Is anyone else having this issue?

I just tested that since I hardly ever use full screen mode, this was the first time since I upgraded to Mountain Lion, and it worked fine for me.
Try shutting Safari down and see if that changes anything.
If that doesn't change anything, try shutting down and then rebooting.

What does iMovie (09) do when I select "Export Movie"?

I can't believe this isn't an FAQ, but I can't seem to find the answer anywhere. I love iMovie but, as many people realize quickly, part of what makes iMovie so simple to use is that it assumes certain things so that the endusers don't have to worry about them.
Well, I guess "Export Movie" is one of those, but I'm curious - what does iMovie do with my video when I use that option? I realize, for example, that "Export with Quicktime" allows me to select quite a few settings for the export, but that's not the case for iMovie, except for being able to select the exported movie resolution.
What other settings does iMovie assume?

Thanks, everyone! I apologize for being unintentionally vague. To take a step back, my source is video shot with a Canon HF200 in FXP mode which records in 1920x1080 resolution.
The root of my question is curiosity around what iMovie does to my video when I'm burning to DVD, and specifically, I noticed that there's a difference in the quality of the video when I do "Share to iDVD" versus "Export Movie" (then dragging the project into my iDVD template).
I had added some text titles to parts of my video and noticed the "Share to iDVD" caused the text to be more "jaggy". Using "Export Movie" appeared to create DVDs that didn't look jaggy, so naturally, I thought "Export Movie" was the better way to burn DVDs, which then started making me wonder what magic happens when that option is chosen.
Subsequent to my posting this question, I then ran into this thread: http://discussions.apple.com/thread.jspa?threadID=2214292&tstart=90 and learned that iMovie drops half the lines in a frame when exporting.
- Is this what was happening when I use "Share to iDVD"? Was iMovie dropping half the lines which caused my video to look jaggy? Pictures of the videos below. In these pictures, the DVD was being played by a progressive scan DVD player on an LCD TV (if that makes a difference).
http://i73.photobucket.com/albums/i211/joelq/DSC_1679.jpg
http://i73.photobucket.com/albums/i211/joelq/DSC_1680.jpg
- I got even more confused when I read that iMovie only does this when exporting to 960x540 or smaller. :-/ If that's the case, then is "Export Movie" exporting to a larger resolution which explains why the video quality seemed better, i.e., the video didn't appear jaggy?
- And finally, when shooting 1920x1080 60i video, what's the best export process to get the best quality DVDs? Is this possible with iMovie 09 (or even HD)? Or do I need to upgrade to FCE? (Or should I just invest in the eBook :-)?)
Thanks everyone!

One of my audio books will not play. My music plays. And my other audio book plays. When I try a listen "the singularity is near", It does nothing. I try and move he cursor to the middle of the track and hit play, but it moves back to the beginning.

I try and move he cursor to the middle of the track and hit play, but it moves back to the beginning, and still does play. How do you report a problem with a mandatory apple app?

Audiobooks purchased from Audible.com. They play on iTunes on my computer. They have been playing on my iPod Classic until two days ago. I'm in the middle of two books and now one does not keep track of where I am and the other does not play. I also have other books not playing on the iPod that use to play. They all play on iTunes on my computer.

Hello there, averypamby.
The following Knowledge Base article offers up some great information in regards to sharing/exporting your video in Motion:
Motion 5: Export a QuickTime movie
http://support.apple.com/kb/PH16623
Export your project as a movie file
Choose Share > Export Movie (or press Command-E).
Choose an export format from the Export pop-up menu.
This menu provides a list of codecs.
Choose an option from the “Open with” pop-up menu:
Do Nothing: The movie is not opened after the export is completed.
Open with QuickTime Player: The movie is opened in QuickTime Player.
Open with Compressor: The movie is opened in Compressor (if installed on your system).
Choose an option from the Include pop-up menu: Video and Audio, or Video Only.
If you’ve set In and Out points in the Timeline, use the Duration pop-up menu to choose whether to export the sequence or the portion between the In and Out points.
To specify additional Motion-specific options, click Render.
For more information about options available in the Render pane, see Render settings.
To see details about the file to be output, click Summary.
Click Next.
Enter a name and choose a location for the exported file, then click Save.
Motion renders and saves your movie.
Important:    The Export Movie command does not use background rendering, so you must wait until rendering is finished before you can continue to work in Motion.
Thanks for reaching out to Apple Support Communities.
Cheers,
Pedro.

Export Movie doesn't launch AME !

Hi there.
I'm very used to work with Premiere Pro CS4, After Effects CS4 and all Adobe package.
Now I'm having for the 1st time an issue while trying to export my movie from Adobe PRemiere.
Doing all default actions, I go to : File > Export > Movie.
But AME just doesn't launch. I got the Upper Menu "File" button highlighted, and that's all.
What is going on? I have to delivery a company movie project, my all movie has just 8 minutes, all things set up.
Thanks!!!
Using PREMIERE PRO CS4

It's not working yet.
I habe Premiere and Media Encoder launched.
Then I go to File>Export>Media on Premiere and nothing happens...
I didn't get what you said about 'pointing to my my Project>Sequence'.
Is there a way to "force" adobe premiere to export this file? I'm really in trouble if it doesn't works!
This is a shoot screen of Encoder. Nothing happens...
And this is Premiere...see the Menu? It gets like this, and absolutely nothing happens...

It won't let me share my movie. Nothing happens when I click "share" or even in the drop down menu. I don't get options. HELP! I need this video by tonight!

I have worked with iMoive a ton and have never had an issue. I consider myself pretty computer savvy. This new iMovie is not my friend. It will not let me share my new video. I click on the project and click "share" like it says but I don't receive any further prompt. It literally does nothing. I tried the drop down menu and I see the "share" with an arrow indicating there are options but no drop down menu appears. I need this video by tonight to submit for work. HELP!

I got it to share! No reloading iMovie!
I do not have Mackeeper on my laptop
I have the movie files on an external hard drive
1. Close out iMovie
2. Eject the external hard drive
3. Start up iMovie
4. Plug in the external hard drive
5. Go into finder and double click on the folder containing the movie
6. Select the movie as if to edit
7. Share it!
I hope this works for you too
