Exports as self-contained when self-contained box not checked

When exporting from FCP 7 using QuickTime movie, sometimes I get what appear to be a self-contained movie even though I did NOT check the box for that. That eats up a lot of file space unnecessarily. By way of example, today I exported two separate sequences from the same project. Both sequences were about the same length. Both sequences consisted of clips that were 1920 x 1080 .mov files. Both sequences had chapter markers. Both exports were done leaving the "Make Movie Self-Contained" unchecked. Yet one of the exports resulted in a file of about 1GB while the other was about 13GB. Any explanation? Thanks.

Thanks for the reply and sorry about being in the wrong forum but I was having trouble finding the forum for FCP7. In any event, the exporting issue doesn't appear to correlate with the project having been fully rendered. I'll keep investigating.

Inserting an image when a "Click Box" is checked

Hi,
I'm working on designing an training activity for a new system which I do not have access to.
The screen I'm working on involves the users checking off a number of boxes. How can I make a "check mark" image appear in the box once it has been clicked?
Please help...I'm faced with a deadline for tomorrow and this roadblock has me stumped.

Hello,
It helps if you mention the version you are using. Hoping it is at least Captivate 4. There is indeed a checkboxes widget coming with Captivate that could do what you want, provided you like the checkmark there.
If not insert as many checkmark images as you will need and set them to invisible. If nothing else has to be executed when the click box is clicked besides showing the checkmark image, you do not need an advanced action but can just apply the action 'Show <image>' as success action where <image> is the ID of the checkmark you want to show. But beware: if all those click boxes are on the same slide, you have to know that the playhead will be released when the click box is clicked and will move beyond the pausing point. To avoid that you'll have to rewind the playhead, and then you'll need an advanced action instead of a simple action with two statements:
show <image>
Assign rdcmmndGotoFrame with rdinfoCurrentFrame
The second statement puts the playhead back before the pausing point.

Check boxes not checked when value passed through a request

I've a URL which sets default-check box values -
f?p=121:41:&SESSION.::YES::P41_OWNER,P41_AI_TYPE:&BUGDB_USER.,\5,6,7\
where "\5,6,7\" is the value of check-boxes.
On Page 41, I compute P41_AI_TYPE as follows (as a Process - On Load Before Regions) -
begin
if (:P41_AI_TYPE = '5,6,7') then
*:P41_AI_TYPE := '6:7:5';*
end if;
end;
There are 3 conditional reports that are generated on the page 41 based on these values. i.e. 5,6,7. All the three reports are displayed indicating that the reports do indeed see the P41_AI_TYPE variable.
The "Debug" shows
0.03: ...Session State: Saved Item "P41_AI_TYPE" New Value="6:7:5"
prior to displaying the checkbox
The "Session" also shows -
121     41     P41_AI_TYPE     Checkbox     6:7:5     U
However none of the check-boxes are checked.
What could be the issue ?

Report on Employees whose trips assigned check box not checked

Hi SAP Guru's,
We have a requirement wherein we have to generate a report having list of those employee's whose trip assigned check box is not checked in infotype 0017 (Travel Privileges) at the same time who are having trips created in their name. If you have any idea please share it with me.
Thanks,
Sudhakar.
Edited by: sudhakar k on Feb 7, 2011 8:09 PM

Hi Raynard,
I did not give this table PA0017 as this table did not have the value trip assigned (field TRVFL).
Hi Sudhakar,
Get a list of pernr for whom field TRVFL is blank from that table. Then for the derived pernr check in table PTRV_PERIO or PTRV_HEAD whether any trips are assigned.
You will get the desired result. You either create a customised report or pick the values from the table in the backend.
Trust this helps.
BR,
Raj

Disconnecting when computer sleeps- will not reconnect

My grandfathers MacBook disconnects from wireless network whenever the computer goes to sleep/is temporarily shut. When it is opened back up, says it is not connected to the internet even though the Network is reading as working. Mail will not send either. The only way I can get it back in gear is running the Network diagnostics or simply restarting the computer.
Please Help.
OH- "Disconnect from wireless network when logged out" is NOT checked in system preferences

Cannot export a self contained Qucktime movie

As of yesterday I have lost the ability to export a self contained Quicktime move from FCE. The sequence is complete and rendered and I have exported as recently as last month but now it simply makes what's known as a reference movie with the suffix .mov
The Export drop down menu still displays all the Quicktime options.
Additionally the Quicktime icon in my dock when clicked displays a question mark. I tried downloading Quicktime but still no go.
Please help Tom

Right but what I am trying to convey is that I need to generate the brushed chrome framed, high quality, up-loadable, stand alone video that I used to get with ease and I cannot get that with my FCE. What are you calling it, what is the proper term because I always called them Quicktime. I made one less than 2 months a go.
Quicktime is present in my System Prefs but is not in the dock. When it was a question mark appeared over it. I cannot find it, launch it, etc.

Exporting movie - self contained = help

Hello,
I've finished my work in fcp, im ready to export; I need to make 2 different formats for every exported movie.. one is for dvd and the other is for internet (will use compressor)
when i export from fcp using quicktime movie, do I make it self contained or not? self contained takes a lot of space..... once i hand in the files, I will delete all, don't need a copy from that work...
my main question is, does it make any difference if I use compressor with a self contained movie or a NOT-self c m?
thanks

referenced movies work just fine in compressor so long as you are not about to delete the raw footagen or render files.

Am I exporting to Self Contained Movie properly?

Hi,
I think I'm doing this properly, but perhaps someone will have more experience and expertice! We shoot on a Canon XF300 camera, which natively captures on XDCAM HD422 720p30 (50mbs). FCPro 7 could capture natively, but am I correct, X cannot? (Please . . . somebody tell me Apple does have the codecs for XDCAM native import!)
No problem, we open 7 to capture from our cards we shoot on. THEN we quit 7, open X and import the files! So we keep the fast import speed and "smaller" files (50 mbs vs. 65 in Prorez) of the individual captured clips. We import for highest quality at Prorez 422 into X. Edit everything - and now for the question.
It's time to export a master. I have "learned" this - I THOUGHT if X was set (in the edit menu) to ProRez 422 better performance, or the Best quality, or Proxy - I THOUGHT when you export, the quality wa always the best X can do. (Basically ProRez422 at 65mbs.)
But I find now I was wrong!
When I export to Self Contained Movie with settings left on "Proxy" the exported file is ProRes422 and plays at 20mbs. Much "lower" quality than we want. But leave all setting the same in X, except change the "quality" to original or optimized best performance OR BEST quality - the export is still ProRes422, but the data rate is 65mbs. (Which I assume is "better"!) BTW, we use 12x720.
So I was wrong! It's important (I'm guessing and looking for conformation) that if we want the BEST export quality, we should NOT have it set to PROXY!
I think everyone will agree with everything I've said so far, as that's what we're finding. But NOW I see X will export at XDCAM Prores422 at 50mbs (by changing the codec on the export menu.) Now, the result is 50mbs (lower than 65mbs, good! Takes up less data)
But . . . WHY would X export at XDCAM Prores422HD (at 50mbs) but NOT IMPORT OUR NATIVE FOOTAGE OF THE SAME VINTAGE?
What am I missing here?
Thanks - hopefully many people have the same thoughts?
Larry

Tom, it's all a bit confusing, although I have spent considerable time with Canon on this! What I KNOW is FCP 7 will import footage shot on our Canon XF300 natively. The exact codec FC uses is
"XDCAM HD422 720p30 (50mbs)" It works beautifully. 2 BIG advantages for us - it uses 50mbs when it converts to QT files (vs. 65mbs in ProRes) and it imports native clips about 4 times faster than converting to Prores. (On the other side, though - when you render in FC - if the sequence is setup on the cative codec above - it DOES take considerable longer to render anything but that's life, I guess!!
FC then exports using that codec as well, making the self contained exports play at 50mbs, NOT 65 that ProRes seems to.
BUT . . . as we discussed above - FCP X will export to "XDCAM HD422 720p30 (50mbs)" but NOT injest footage in the XDCAM format. We ingest with 7, then quit 7 and open X to import the files - I don't understand why FCP X exports in XDCAM, but not log and transfer files natively in that same codec?
Thanks,

Exports a self contained, then renders. Why?

I exported a self contained Quicktime movie (same settings as footage--HDV--no recompressed frames). My exported file is named exactly as I named it, but with four additional mysterious digits at the end. Here's what I don't get: FCP says it's still writing video. Why? Is it writing a render file? It's already exported a self-contained movie that appears to be complete (I watched the end). What's the point of this render file? (The exported movie contains 4 fades, and 2 text titles). Not sure whether to stop the "writing video" so I can do some other work, or leave it in case it's needed by my self-contained file.

Hi:
If your sequence is just plain video edit, I mean, no effects, color correction, graphic elements (text, etc), then you'll get no quality difference encoding from your timeline or from the self contained. Both sources are same quality.
But if you have effects and graphcis in your sequence that you need to render, then you'll get the best quality encoding directly from the timeline, because FCP will use the raw info from each frame as source for the encoding, NOT the rendered ones.
The difference in quality depends on how heavy your effects/graphics are.
Hope that helps !

Why can't I reduce the height of my container box in the Lightbox Display composition widget?

I'm using the Lightbox Display composition widget, I would like to place my trigger at the bottom of my lightbox, I've reduced the height of my image frame but the container box cannot be reduced accordingly. I need to reduce the height of the container box or my triggers will be hidden behind the box. Please advice, thank you.

Hi,
When you insert the light box display, by default it has 3 slides with different components like trigger, container, target, image frame, text box, next button, preview button. You have to change the dimensions for all components for these default 3 images one by one.
Or you can delete 2 of the triggers (that will resul in deleting all of their components from the widget), then you are left with only one image and its components. Later, you can add more images to lightbox display.
Resize the components as per following video:
http://gauravr183.businesscatalyst.com/images/2013-09-26_1440.swf
The steps are, after you have added the widget on the page:
Delete the triggers.
Then select Image frame, resize it. Move close button near it (the 'X' button), resize the text box,resize next and previous buttons and move all of these near the image frame.
Then click on the image frame, till you get "Target" area selected, resize target area and container will be resized automatically.

Designer export of workarea/container

Hello all,
I want to do an export of Designer work-area particularly containers. My question is can i export only certain pieces of container? for example I may have certain documents in my container i dont want to be exported.
Or do i have to copy work-area to new work-area and delete from new work-area the things I dont want to export then perform export?

My experience has been that exports are done on a container basis. What I often do when I want to export only a subset of the objects in a container is create a new container, move (not copy) the objects I want to export into the new container, export the new container, and then move the objects back into their original container.
Moving an object is performed by shift-clicking and dragging the object to the new container, and remember it is critical to move and not copy as copying will assign new IRIDs to the objects and that is probably not what you want.

No Music in Exporting a self playing slideshow to Quicktime.

I exported a self playing slideshow to QuickTime in order to burn DVD inToast.
I selected the Include Audio button but when I played back the file the music did not play. I noticed the export made two files - The video files and a seperate audio file. How do I combine the two files to burn a DVD to play on an HDTV screen?

How do you rehearse timings o produce a self-playing movie?? I am struggling to have a self playing movie that has all different timings within it. Any help would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks so much. Antony

NOT COMPATIBLE (Your export may contain calls not supported by your applica

Hi
I am trying to install a htmldb application developed on a 9i database onto htmldb running on 10g. (I believe htmldb2.0 was used for the 9i development)
I have imported the application successfully but when I try to install the application I get the following error message:
NOT COMPATIBLE (Your export may contain calls not supported by your application).
(I have uploaded the application to htmldb.oracle.com
schema = kjcs
appliction = boe_reports
Keith

The problem was the export file versions.
When you install a file it gives you the export file version of the file.
The original htmldb database was created and has an export file version of 2004.07.04
This file was sent out for development (off-site) and was developed on a htmldb database which had an export file version fo 2005.05.01
So the install from version 2004.07.04 to 2005.05.01 was successful.
But when the file came back it had an export file version of 2005.05.01
and we were trying to install it in a database with export file version 2004.04.01
This caused the failure.
To see export file version export an application/page from htmldb and re-import it. When you click install it displays the export file version, before allowing you to proceed
