External Monitor Viewing - ALL FRAMES Unchecked

Hello FCP gurus
I cannot get a video signal on my external monitor.
For some reason I have lost the ability to check the ALL FRAMES option in the View Menu under External Video. Each time I click ALL FRAMES it stays in the OFF mode. I think this may be the reason for the external picture loss? I have also just relocated my edit suite so somewhere in the move I might have upset the 'workflow'. Not sure, can't see why? Before today I was getting an external picture no problem.
The configuration I have is: A Firewire connection from the Hard Drive to a DV Cam (PD150). RCA Vid connector from the cam into a domestic TV.
I have followed all of Shane's #8 Stock Answer and still nudda!!
Can anyone help?
Thanks in advance!

#8 External Monitor Viewing.
Shane's Stock Answer #8:
A simple path is mac > firewire > camera or deck > rca cables > tv
Then start up your camera and tv, then open fcp.
Then go View > External video > all frames
Video playback should be Apple firewire NTSC (If you are using an NTSC set)
Audio playback should be Audio follows Video
Techinially, this should send synched video to your TV
If for some reason you can't view your timeline on your external monitor, there are a few things to try:
1) Make sure that the camera/deck is connected and powered on BEFORE you open FCP.
2) In the Final Cut Pro menu select AUDIO/VIDEO Preferences and make sure your signal is being sent out thru Firewire DV.
3) Go to the menu and select VIEW>EXTERNAL>ALL FRAMES.
4) Click in the % box above the image and select FIT TO WINDOW.
5) Go to VIEW->refresh A/V devices
6) Make sure the Log & Capture window is closed
If you want it to play in both the canvas and the external monitor you need to go to the FINAL CUT PRO menu and select AUDIO/VIDIO settings and make sure MIRROR ON DESKTOP is selected under the PLAYBACK OUTPUT section

Heck, I don't know, but reading your question helped me to finally figure out how to get my external monitor working.
Would it be okay to add to your question. Now that I have mine working the audio goes through the monitor instead of my nice Cerwin-Veg speakers. Is there a way to fix that?
P.S. Have you tried a power down, hooking up the monitor and then coming back up?

External Log4j viewer config? eg. Chainsaw

Folks,
Anyone configure an external Log4j viewer such as Chainsaw with Oracle BPEL Process Manager? I've reviewed C:\OraBPELPM\system\config\log4j-config.xml and it looks like it would be done there but I'm not sure how to align the xml tags there with the instructions with Chainsaw, those being:
"You will need to configure Log4J to send logging events to Chainsaw and a file. Here is a sample log4j.properties file for sending logging events to a file in XML format and Chainsaw.
log4j.rootCategory=DEBUG, Default, Chainsaw
log4j.appender.Default=org.apache.log4j.FileAppender
log4j.appender.Default.file=../log/server.log
log4j.appender.Default.layout=org.apache.log4j.xml.XMLLayout

log4j.appender.Chainsaw.remoteHost=localhost
log4j.appender.Chainsaw.port=4445
log4j.appender.Chainsaw.locationInfo=true
Any thoughts on going about this?

External monitor view looks stretched

Over the weekend, I ventured into the world of Mac ownership with a new macbook pro. At my office, I've connected it to a 23" external monitor just to make it easier on my eyes. When I first set it up last night, the view on the external monitor looked stretched or a like blown up version of what's on my computer screen. (FTR, I have mirror display turned on because I'm keeping the macbook on a shelf under my desk and just want to work from the one screen.) I messed with the resolution size of the external monitor but that didn't fix the problem.
Today, when I came in and hooked everything up, the screen looked like how I originally expected it to look - not stretched or any of that junk. Just very crisp and clean - exactly the way I wanted it. Then a bit ago, I tried to mess with clamshell mode and for some reason, that made the external monitor go back to being stretched. I've tried restarting several times and unplugging the DVI->mini display port converter but it's not fixing it.
I have no idea what I did right this morning, but can anyone help me? It's a stupid problem, for sure but it's annoying staring at this stretched screen.

Try this instead, hit CMD F1 to place the monitor in extended desktop mode, It should look good again.
Go to System Preferences > Displays > Arrangement tab > notice the grey "menubar" at the top of the left display. Move it to your other monitor display. This will control which monitor has the dock and menubar. If the external monitor is not available, it moves back to the MBpro.

Pulling in external HTTP views

Greetings allGreetings all, I am new to Flex, so please
forgive me if this is a silly question. I am attempting to
implement a view which pulls in an external HTTP web page (the web
page is hosted in a separate app server and is independent of Flex,
such as www.google.com). I want this to be one component in a
multi-component Flex application. I can not figure out how to do
this. I tried using a TextArea and feeding the data to the httpData
field, but that didn’t work. I tried using
“navigateToURL” but it redirects the entire app to the
URL. Can someone please give me some hints as to how to accomplish
this (an example would be excellent)
Thanks,
-David-

Sorry, you can't do this simply. The Flash Player cannot
parse/render a full html page. The htmlText control can render a
very limited set of HTML tags.
The only real solution is to fake it using a IFRAME to
display the HTML page. There is a very complete example available

Access external database views on different tablespace

Hi everybody,
I'm trying to access a external Oracle database (dbcon entry is set successfully) and read data from a view wich does not belong to my schema. In other IDEs the statement is simple:
select *
from schema.view
In ABAP the code looks like this:
SELECT *
FROM ('schema.view').
But ABAP splits this literal into two pieces and so I get an error message view does not exist.
Any idea how to correct the FROM part?
For your information. I tried to link the view on the oracle database over a synonym to access the view in the other schema. Normally this works fine, but synonyms will not be publicated to SAP so I can't read the data furthermore.
Thx so far!
Sincerely,
Bastian

Instead of accessing the views on an different schema I created my own views.

Audio Monitoring, external tv viewer - no sound on tv

Hi.
I'm having trouble getting my tv to play the audio as I view it. Is that normal?
I can hear it on my computer, and i can see it on my tv, but I can't hear it.
When I fiddle with View>Audio settings>Follow video, or >default, best I can do is hear real sketchy sound - almost like I'm listening to the fan on my computer through my camcorder.
Any thoughts? I like the speakers built into my tv better than the ones on my computer.
Thanks!
fcp 5.1.4, Macbookpro w intel; wd 250 passport drive for scratch; firewire ntsc video out to camcorder, rca and dv (roundish jack) into tv.
Using View>all frames, refresh external device, and tried all Audio playback settings.
jc

Audio follows video is the correct setup for sending audio to the camera then on to the monitor.
Are your audio cables connected correctly?
Do you have the camera set up properly to pass through the DV>analog conversion?
Is the audio in 48khz/16bit format?

External video view doesn't always show anamorphic

It's really weird, when I look at my output video from the external monitor through my DV or TV connected to my DV, sometimes it doesn't show it as anamorphic or with the letterbox but sometimes it does on the same sequence that I'm editing. What am I missing?

well, it's not like that, what I meant was, the sequence was set to anamorphic and all the clips were shot in anamorphic, but when playing the sequence and watching it on my DV screen, the exact same sequence sometimes shown in 4:3 and sometimes shown as anamorphic, sometimes when I restart FCP, it'd be all fine but sometimes it won't. Like just now, I'm working on the sequence, everything in anamorphic, when I play it the first time, it's perfectly fine everywhere, but when I play it the second time (I didn't touch anything on the sequence), although it's fine on the FCP canvas, it's showing 4:3 without the letterbox on my DV screen. Did I miss something? Any help would be great.
Thanks

Viewing on external NTSC monitor

Here is my setup, I have a Dual 2.7 GHz G5 with a X800XT 256 MB video card with ADC and DVI outs. I had an older card in there with 2 DVI's connectors and one of them had a DVI to Video Adapter to the NTSC and all was fine.
When I got the new video card I had to plug the LCD into the DVI connector and I installed an older ATI Radeon PCI card to runt he NTSC monitor. Not sure what model the the older card is but it does have an svideo out and DVI out. I have tried with the NTSC monitor plugged into the DVI connector with the DVI to Video adapter and plugged directly into the svideo out. Plugged into the DVI and adaptor the video is distorted and unusable plugged in directly to the Svideo port the video works fine but I can't get Final Cut or anything else to recognize it as the NTSC video out device.
My thought is that either the PCI card I have is too old for the Apps to recognize it, or that the Apps with only work with the primary AGP graphics Card.
Has anyone else had this problem? and is there an easy solution?
I have a ADC to DVI adaptor on order to give my new video card dual DVI outputs hopping that will fix the issue.
thanks
Ken

Easy solution...don't do this. Route the signal thru your deck or camera:

Can't view from external monitor

You know when you have your DV connected to your mac, when you edit, the LCD on the DV would show you the final output of your project? I've been using that to see what my final output is but suddenly it's not working.
I mean, everything else works great, I double and triple checked my setting under the audio/video setting and the playback output is set to apple firewire pal, but I still can't get anything from my DV. What else should I check?

If you are working with HDV footage, FCP 6 allows you to view this via firewire, but ONLY as downconverted DV. It won't look the best, but you can see it. To do this,
If you need to view any format other than DV at full resolution, then you need to look into capture cards. Several standard definition and high definition models are available from www.aja.com and www.decklink.com. With these options you'll need a proper monitor to view full broadcast colors, but all models allow for realtime standard definition downconvert, allowing you to view HD on an SD monitor.
The Matrox MXO is another option that is output only, but allows you to view your footage on an Apple Cinema Display at full broadcast quality.

No external view

just fixed my os and reinstalled fcp but now i dont have external view capabilities at all. the only selection is none but the all frames/single frames option is there.
also, it seems i cannot install anything off disc anymore. i needed to reinstall live type and when i double click the package it does it's explode thing but nothing happens afterwards.

Connecting Log & Capture to an External Display

Forum,
I am using FCP for my current project. While logging footage from my camera I thought it would be easier if I could hook up the Preview area of the Log & Capture window to an external device such as a display. Is this possible?
How do I achieve this? What kind of an adaptor is needed?
Thanks.

Can't View on NTSC Monitor

For some reason, I cannot view sequences on my NTSC monitor. When I go to log and capture, it does play back and I can see it on the computer, but whenever I go to "External Video," it is selected to off and even if I change it to "All Frames," it stays on off. Thank you!

CS5 can not output MPE to external DV device

This is quite a surprise for those of us who rely on DV output.
Harm Millaard:
"An MPE card stops external monitor viewing."
"The problem is that CUDA does not currently support output
on DV devices, only full screen second displays (DVI, DisplayPort, etc)."
"...one serious limitation, those who use dual monitors for editing and
a third monitor for full screen display and color grading or that use the
fire wire connection to record DV/HDV back to tape.
Some may think tape is dead, but there are numerous people around
that still like to jeep their final cut on a master tape."
"The basic problem is how to get a DV signal back over firewire for
exporting to tape or display on an external monitor and that currently is a CUDA problem."
"It must be resolved. If not, the introduction of CS5 / MPE as a game changer
can quickly turn into a game stopper.
I think (purely personal opinion) Adobe and nVidia must correct this ASAP
Otherwise you end up with a SNAFU."

The first post about this CS5 bug was in May. It is now Augusut and still no fix?
Every time I'm about to place my order for CS5, I find out about another "gotcha' problem. I'm still on CS3 and am seriously wondering whether I should continue to move forward with Premiere.
I still use an older "DPS Velocity Quattrus" system and it still leaves Premiere in the dust. Unfortunately Harris, who bought Leitch/who bought DPS, has discontinued the product. A software developer from Itlay is attempting to breathe life into it (ivsEdits.com), but it isn't a fully operational system.
Yes, "Firrewire" output is still a Big Deal. There are many of us who use our editing systems as a business tool. Going back and disabling the Mercury Engine, then re-rendering as "software only" is a waste of my time.
Come On, Adobe & Nvidia, get this fixed!
Well...i'd guess that CS5 hold it's own against a system like yours for flexibility...though if the way that card works is in your workflow "sweet spot" then I guess you're probably best served to stay with it.
If you have a system that has the juice to even run CS5, i can't imagine that running a CUDA-augmented system for Mercury is even remotely necessary for editing DV... as far as using our systems as a business tool...I'm not sure what you're implying. Most of us who are in the production business -in general- have moved to some form of HD some time ago, most of my peers made the move during CS2...
Are you implying the rest of us aren't professionals, even as you are lobbying for aggressive support of a consumer-oriented I/O configuration? I hope not.
It's not a bug BTW...it's a configuration that a few people don't like...but when your effects render is out on the display card, that's the way the pipe is routed. Even HDSDI card manufacturers are finding that pulling those frames back off the display card negates some of the speed gains.
If you have a system that is qualified for it, I think you should download the demo and try it before you assess PPro CS5 any further. You are making lots of sweeping statements about a piece of software released almost 4 years ago running on a hardware system that was discontinued 4 years ago being better than the newest software running on up-to-date hardware without understanding what its performance is really like...even without a CUDA card.
I can shut off CUDA and rip through DVCProHD like there's no tomorrow on my 3 year old dual dual core AMD...I have to believe you'll be able to -shred- DV on even an average-ish machine by today's standards.
