Express HD and 720P File Formats

Hey everyone, I've got a question. I purchased a new flash based camcorder, it's an Insignia NS-DV1080P, cheap yes, but it gets the job done. I shot a bunch of footage in 720P in a QuickTime MOV format thinking that since I have a Mac that this would be best. However, when I import it into Final Cut Express HD, all the clips have a red line over them in the time line. I had expected to need to do some rendering, so I threw all the clips down on the time line, about 20 minutes worth of un-edited raw footage. I hit the button to render the entire sequence so I could begin editing. It's saying that it will take roughly 4 hours. Am I doing something wrong here? The camera can shoot video in AVI format as well, would that be better? Any ideas? The computer is the 2.16 Intel Core Duo, I've upgraded the RAM to 2GB, and a 500GB hard drive. Never had any issues like this before. Thanks in advance for the help!

Your camcorder, despite being able to save to .mov files, records video as MPEG4 H.264. You need to convert this to Apple Intermediate Codec before importing it into FCE. Download a copy of MPEG Streamclip (free) - it's a great conversion utility. In MPEG Streamclip, convert your MPEG4 files to QuickTime using Apple Intermediate Codec compression. MPEG Streamclip should automatically detect that your video is 720p30 and convert accordingly.
Then, before you import the converted file(s) into FCE, select the HDV-Apple Intermediate Codec 720p30 Easy Setup in FCE and create a new Sequence to put your clips into. They should not need any rendering then.
Don't try recording to AVI files, they will only make matters worse if you intend to edit your video in iMovie or Final Cut.

Illustrator CS3 Import and Export File Format list?

Hello,
Has anyone typed up an updated supported import and export file format list for CS3? I used to reference a support knowledgebase document, 1001741, (no longer on Adobe's site) that showed the majority of file formats and versions that Illustrator was able to import. I searched all over and couldn't find one, then called support and they confirmed they no longer had a list like that available--they had split the import options into separate lists--like what versions of Photoshop files, what versions of .eps files, .tiff files etc. Illustrator CS3 could open.
The reason I was looking because I wanted to see what version Corel file CS3 could open after I was not able to open a customer's v.12 .cdr file.
Thanks,
Rick H.

I am pretty sure that the last supported version of Corel that AI can open is version 10.

Save as PDF, HTML and CHM file formats

Is FrameMaker capable of saving in all three of these formats: PDF, HTML and CHM file formats? Would InDesign be a better choice?

The first two, yes. For Compiled Help, the third, I'm sure you know that the files have to be compiled, so no, and I don't think the source files for compilation are a direct export either, unless you can follow an XML path. Although the popularity of CHM is way down from a number of years ago because HTML is more portable, but that's a different issue.
If I were you, I'd look at MIF2go, a Frame add on that does support export to all these formats, and a number of others.
InDesign doesn't do this either...
Just as a word of unasked for advice, choosing your authoring platform by what it can output is a back-asswords way to choose a tool. Find the tool that suits the way you create documents the best so you get more required features to create your stuff quicker and easier.
Both the tools you mention and most other modern ones do pretty open-ended output, either directly or through filters or conversion utilities... there are always ways to massage output to a different format. So output is certainly a consideration, but it's a relatively minor one.
As for input tools, you're comparing apples and oranges with FM and ID. FM excels at book style documents with multiple chapters or files that share common layout characteristics. InDesign excels at shorter documents that are usually design-driven, that require hands-on layout tweaking, and it can't do multiple file management.

Verity and New File Formats

I've searched the help files, KB, and forums and don't see an
answer to this question: Are there ever updates to the Verity
search functionality in ColdFusion to accomodate new file formats,
such as the newer versions of Word, PDF v7.0 and 8.0, etc? While
the search functionality of CF is great, it's somewhat limiting if
it can't be updated to index the latest file formats.
So does anyone know if it's possible to update Verity
(without waiting for major version upgrades in CF)?

You are asking an excellent question, Jos!
Converting all of the videos to DV-AVIs before combining them in the same project is an excellent idea. Because you are using a Mac, however, you should use the DV-MOV as your common video format. To do this you should use Share/Computer/MOV using the PAL-DV preset. (There are many types of MOVs. A DV-MOV is a specific type of MOV that is used when shooting and editing video on a computer.)
IN DUTCH:
U vraagt een heel goede vraag, Jos!
Het omzetten van alle video's naar DV-AVI's voordat ze te combineren in hetzelfde project is een uitstekend idee. Omdat je een Mac gebruikt, echter, moet u gebruik maken van de DV-MOV als je gezond videoformaat. Om dit te doen moet je Share / Computer / MOV met de PAL-DV preset te gebruiken. (Er zijn vele soorten van MOV's. Een DV-MOV is een specifieke vorm van MOV dat wordt gebruikt bij het opnemen en bewerken van video op een computer.)

Exporting pdfs to word and excel file formats and translating

Hello, I am new to this forum and came here because I am a professional translator. Although we should be given documents in their original file format, in the real world translators have to convert pdfs such as manuals or annual reports into word or excel files. Given the fact we often work for agencies, and/or do not work directly with the people who created the original files inthe first place, with the best will in the world we normally have to make do with converting the pdf file, or lose the job.
I would like advice on the best way to learn more about pdf to word and excel conversion and ways of keeping formatting when it is helpful and removing what is not.
The general problem is (well the problem is really ignorance on my part!) of course getting the "look and feel" similar in the converted document and knowing more about manipulating the formating and elements which get converted.
Any help or pointers to online tutorials whether multimedia or text much appreciated.

Thank you Lori, this is so clear! I am a teacher as well and there are clear presentations and wonderfully clear presentations and this is in the latter category.
A tiny suggestion. You would not believe how many pdf files exported to word I have received that are Portuguese content and the sender has not set the language to Portuguese! So in your text entry you might want to mention the language setting. I know it is obvious, but as we know sometimes we cannot see the obvious!
I will need to look far more carefully at the final things in your video.
Are there any special considerations for exporting pdf files as Excel? My original doubt was I had to translate some accounting documents. 95% of the document was numbers which did not changing (except for commas to periods and vice versa due to different separator conventions). I did not now how to just select e.g. the vertical column with text. I will go back and try with this suggestion because in this case the look and feel of the numbers was important and the precise fonts etc. seemed to cause problems. But now I am getting out of my depth!
Thank you again!

Distinguishing between CSV and Excel file formats

I am trying to distinguish between CSV and Excel files. Most of the files I need to process are CSV, but some have been opened and re-saved in Excel format. I know about the Excel toolbox available, but haven't used it yet.
I need to be able to open a spreadsheet file regardless of if it is in CSV or Excel format. Any help would be greatly appreciated.
Here are two example files, one CSV and one Excel. Both have .XLS file extensions.

Hi Paul,
I think the matter is not the extention (xls or csv or whatever) but the format of the data written in your file.
To see what I mean, open the xls file you posted with notepad... What does it look like ?
You have tobe sure of the format of the file you want to read so that you can develop an appropriate VI... if you want to be able to read different type of data format, do a test before reading the file and then use an appropriate routine for each format.
Hope this helps you...
BTW, to read the one named CSV, a simple "read from spreadsheet file" VI will do the job

Canon C500 Raw and RMF file format

Does anyone know if Adobe has plans to include native support for the Canon 4K Raw file format (.RMF) specifically for speedgrade and After Effects? I am looking at work flows for an upcoming project that will most likely be shot on the C500 in 4k recorded raw onto the Gemeni 4:4:4 external recorder but my adobe suite has no way to color grade the dailies or even link up the online and offline edit without support for the raw files. If there is something forth coming what is the time frame if not is there a 3rd party solution?
Thanks,

Importing Raw and Jpeg file formats to Mac Pro

Since migrating to Photos from iPhotos when importing photos only Jpegs seem to get imported, not Raw files when shot in both formats on my NikonD5300. Does anyone know how i can import the two file formats simultaneously? (I have double checked the settings on my camera!)
Thanks Louise

Photos will import both the RAW and the JPEG, but stack them and use only one of them as the original file.
You will see badge overlays "J" or "R", indicating if the RAW or the JPEG is currently uses as the original file to render edits.
Open the photo in "EDIT" mode, then you will be able to switch to the "RAW" version as the original file, in the "Image" menu. The options "Use RAW as original" or "Use JPEG as original" are only available in Edit mode, also "Reprocess RAW"

What is the largest MMC and SD card that the Acer C710 can use, and what file formats can be used?

What is the largest MMC and SD card that the Acer C710 can read from and write to when inserted into the built-in 2-in-1 card reader? What file formats can be used with aforementioned MMC and SD cards?i.e. FAT, FAT 32, exFAT, etc.

Thank you for you help. I forgot to mention what is the highest class of SD card it can use at top speed, and are there any classes that will simply not work? An example answer would be, the highest speed that it can operate at clase 6, with class 8 being the highest class compatible; class 10 will not work. Also note, there are new cards faster than class 10. I have seen symbols like U1 and U3. I don't expect a discount computer to run an SD card faster than class 10, but it is important to know if U1 and U3 at least work.

Automatic Payment Process through IDOC and Receive Message Acknowledgement and BANST file format

Hi Experts,
We are implementing payment process to our client through Idoc.
Normally the process will go like below. Once Payment Initiated --> IDoc will generate --> This Idoc process through PI system and send to Bank.--> Once payment data received bank --> it will generate acknowledgement receipt and Bansta file and send it PI system --> This PI system system again send it --> SAP system. Here I want to know the required configuration from PI system to SAP system while receiving acknowledgement and Bansta file. And let me know if u guys have steps...
Thanks,
Raviram

Hi,
>is possible using the fileadapter to read this file and with pass it throug PI to IDOC receiver adapter without any mapping?
yes
>In that case what should the Message Type we are using in the file-sender adapter look like?
If you have no mapping it doesnt matter, the message type will not be validated during runtime. You can take the IDoc type imported from the SAP system

Final Cut Express Log and Transfer files not playing audio on another mac

I recently purchased a new Mac Pro for video editing for work, and am having some issues with it. Previously i was working on a MacBook Pro running OS 10.4.11, on Final Cut Express 4.
I used Log & Transfer to get the AVCHD videos from my Canon HF 11 onto my mac, and had no issues. Where my problems started was when I moved my video files to my new Mac Pro running OS 10.5.6. Now when I open those video files in either Quicktime or FCE, the VIDEO plays but _not the audio_. I thought maybe the video files were bad, but when I tried the original files on the new Mac, they still didn't work. I don't know if there's some codec that isn't on the new mac or if there's some other problem... I just know that my new amazing machine cannot play the files that my 3 year old one can. I'm not new to computers, but I'm not an Apple guru. Any help would be greatly appreciated!

Well I can try trashing the files, but I can't log and transfer the files again, as it's months of footage that aren't on the camera anymore. But i did find something else out. The files that were recorded with the camera's built-in mic recording is fine and with sound, but the files that I used my wireless mic setup had no sound. I don't know why that is, because they worked fine on the MacBook Pro. I tried log and transferring a new clip on the Mac Pro wit;h footage using the wireless mic, and still no sound.

Xls and csv file format

I have a xls file that I can read and modify using POI. Users are providing another file in csv format that the program should read and make adjustments to the xls already read in the memory. Can anyone suggest the most efficient way to implement this?

Its possible but I don't see a real clean way of implementing it. There are also a lot cases to consider when doing the data merge.
Lets say its the most simple case where the data from the csv should be appended to the excel file starting one row after the last row of data.
For writing data to a HSSFSheet in POI you should look at the poi examples, there is a method that returns the last row num on the sheet, then from that you create new rows while incrementing the last row num for each csv record. Then for each column in the csv you need to create a new HSSFCell from the HSSFRow object in Poi, set its cell type to texta and sets its value to the csv value.
Thats the main loop right there. As far as reading a text file as csv format so you can easily navigate it on a row by row and column by column basis I'm not sure whats out there to do that for you.
Hope that helps! - Duncan

New D80 and Unsupported File Format???

Hello Everyone, I just bought a new d80 for X-mas and imported my first files only to find that they were not supported. I am shooting RAW and am uncertain what to do. My previous camera, D70s, had no problem with imports in RAW or any other format. Thanks, this is a great forum.

search around this forum, as i seem to recall an issue with the universal camera update not working on powerpc and that there is a powerpc only version of the update ... this will help ...
also, if you have the NEF's already in the library, you will need to remove and re-import after the update ... i think ... maybe ...
search the board ... i know it is in here ...
