FCE and Exporting to QT Compressor grayed out
i have finished my first video. it is all rendered. solid blue line throughout.
i go to export, but the “Compressor” is grayed out.
in the lydna.com video i was watching, the instructor choose a ratio of 4:3.
i thought that is what i choose, but i can’t find it in the FCE browser. so, i think
that is my problem. i don’t know how to invoke (?) the 4:3 (or the 16:9 for that matter) ratio.
i hope it is not too late.
i want to save it as mpeg4-800.
thank you,

I have FCE 3.5 HD. I bought Motion 2 separately when it was an option, Compressor 2 came with the Motion package. I can export to Compressor 2 as well as roundtrip with Motion from FCE export. You can still find Motion or Motion 2 on Ebay as a separate app. Someday, when sales slide, Apple may release separate app. packages again. Until then After Effects CS3, which is the industry work horse, has a pretty good render module. Oh and you can buy that separately too!

everything went well until the final step "uploading files to server" -- it's been spinning for an hour, "status" still reads 0%, "pause task" and "cancel task" buttons are grayed out in Activity window. Any ideas?

ICloud email won't send (it tries to send and then freezes, send button grayed out)
I can recieve email just fine. I can draft an email just fine. But it won't send. When I hit the send button, the email window goes away and a message box appears and disappears so fast I can't read it. The email window reapears with the "send" button grayed out. Once this happens, I can't close the email window. I have to quit mail. When I open mail back up, the email will still be there and I can close it. The send button is no longer grayed out, but if I hit send, the same thing happens (i.e., screen flashes and the send button is grayed out).
I've tried deleting the acouunt and reforming it. Didn't help. I checked to see that my outgoing server is "iCloud" and that it send on port 993 and the SSL check box is checked.
Any ideas?I'm having the exact same problem on one of my Macs but no the other.
Did you ever get this resolved? -
Why is Compressor Grayed out!? I have the original disk!
Thanks Apple! I had to reinstall FCP 4.5 because an auto update killed my FCP application performance. OK, fine, so I reinstalled the software and what do you know, NO COMPRESSOR. When I go to install it's grayed out as even an option. I paid for it and own the original disks; why can't I reinstall it? What do I have to do to get it installed again? Any suggestions would be appreciated. Thanks.
Thanks. I'll give that a try. From what I'm reading, Pacifist will do the trick. I just don't understand why the software I PURCHASED won't let me load it. Very odd.
Cheers! -
Import/Export Button in designer grayed out
Import/Export button in designer is grayed out for one user. it is not his security setting, since he doesn't have this issue using other machines.
I am wondering what is wrong on his machine? Could any body help us.
ThanksHi,
It seems that there might be some problem with the specific machine.
In order to be sure, just login as an administrator onto the machine, and check to be sure, whether it is an issue with rights.
However, if it is not the issue with the rights, then we can just reinstall Designer and check whether the issue has been resolved or not.
To do this, just go into your control panel and in the Add & Remove programs, click BusinessObjects and click on change, and then select Modify, expand the client components ,and select Desktop Intelligence : "Entire Feature will be unavailable" and continue with the uninstallation.
The next time around, perform the same steps, and then select DeskI and "Entire Feature will be installed on local hard drive" , and finish the installation.
This would reinstall the designer.

Export to XML is grayed out.
Hello. I am trying to export an XML from FCPX for an editor to use in Avid. My problem is that I highlight all the clips in the timeline and then I go to the top menu and try choose File / Export XML and Export XML is grayed out, so I may not choose it.
Is there any reason why this feature may be grayed out. I am using the trial version of FCPX but nowhere does it say there are any limitations.
Thank you very much for your time.
_Deyson OrizThank Tom, I was hoping for 1 step procedure. I hope an app comes out soon to make it easier.
Have an awesome day! -
I imported an mpeg34 video into iMovie 10.0.5 and I am unable to edit it. Precision Editor and Clip Trimmer are grayed out. Any idea why this is happening?
Did you get any joy with answering this?
My first thought was that maybe when you imported you chose to leave the files in place rather than copy then to the iMovie library..but I can't see where that option is now.
I too have created a short movie from load f clips..but can't export or share either..the 'Share 'menu is empty..you go to it and no sub menu appears. -
Datastore Export "Advanced" Options Button grayed out
Hello,
We're trying to export a job from a Development repository to a QA repository using the DataServices Designer from BusinessObjects DataServices 4.2 SP1. When we get to the Datasotre Export Options screen, I need to get to the advanced options, but the "Advanced" button is grayed out. Is there some setting to make this button available? Or is there perhaps a permission that I can assign to make it available?
We're using MSSQL 2012 on a Windows Server 2008 R2 Enterprise.
Thanks,
Mary MoonHi Mary Moon,
You can change the owner of the table or the connection properties of the datastore using advance button but I am not sure if this is really required to be enabled in case of SQL Server. Technical Manual does not say anything specific related to databases. I assume that since we are passing the connection details while exporting and the only thing might change is the Owner of a table which can be done manually as well.

I want to be able to use FCE to edit my HD footage from my Sony HD7 camcorder then display results through Apple TV. I know I will lose resolution, but am having one particular problem. After importing clips to FCE I exported to Quicktime movie, then opened the file in Quicktime and exported to Apple TV. The resulting video seems "jerky" at least to my eyes. Almost like every other frame was cut out. Do I need to export from FCE at a different resolution or frame rate to get the export to Apple TV looking better?
Thanks all for the help.Thanks Tom. Could be just my eyes seeing the difference in the results, but here are the details.
Original File from Sony HDR-HC7
Video Tracks:
Apple Intermediate Codec, 1440 x 1080, 29.97 fps, 98.77 Mbps
Audio Tracks:
16-bit Big Endian stereo, 48 kHz, 1.54 Mbps
Export direct as QuickTime movie and conversion to Apple TV seems to show some jagged sharp motion to my eyes, so I tried the steps below and got a more fluid result.
The exported from FCE to 1280 x 720 with these settings:
Compression: H.264
Quality: High
Key Frame Rate: 24
Frame Rendering: Yes
Encoding Mode” multi-pass
Dimensions: 1280 x 720
Results of export from Final Cut
H.264, 1280 x 720, 29.97 fps, 17.48 Mbps
16-bit Big Endian stereo, 48 kHz, 1.54 Mbps
Then converting that to Apple TV file (opened in QuickTime and used export for Apple TV):
Video Tracks:
H.264, 960 x 540, 29.97 fps, 3.81 Mbps
Could be that Export to QuickTime Movie makes an Apple Intermediate Codec file and the export using QT conversion made an H264 codec. Perhaps there is a difference in the way the QT function "export to Apple TV" handles those two codecs??? -
In the last few days, I have noticed that when I open my browser, I don't get my default home page, even though it shows under my options. When I conduct a search, I have navigation buttons, but once I open a page from the search engine results page, I have no navigation anymore. They are all grayed out.
This can be caused by a problem with the file places.sqlite that stores the bookmarks and the history.

It is also possible that there is a problem with the files [http://kb.mozillazine.org/sessionstore.js sessionstore.js] and sessionstore.bak in the [http://kb.mozillazine.org/Profile_folder_-_Firefox Profile Folder]
Delete [http://kb.mozillazine.org/sessionstore.js sessionstore.js] and sessionstore.bak in the [http://kb.mozillazine.org/Profile_folder_-_Firefox Profile Folder]
* Help > Troubleshooting Information > Profile Directory: Open Containing Folder
If you see files sessionstore-##.js with a number in the left part of the name like sessionstore-1.js then delete those as well.
Deleting sessionstore.js will cause App Tabs and Tab Groups to get lost, so you will have to create them again (make a note).

Step into and other debugging items are grayed out in ISE debug menu in PS4.0
hi friends
i don't know why things go wrong for me
it's about 3 hours that i am googling & studying documents on how to use Debugger in PS 4.0 ISE
the problem is i open my script in ISE, but when i open debug menu, step over,
step into, step out, stop debugger and many other items on debug menu in ISE are
gray out.
( my script contains about 20 commands)
i need to run my script in line by line method (step into)
but its gray out :-(
i studies many pages regarding powershell debugger but none of the mentioned first enabling debugger ( i think maybe it's off by default)
am i on the right way ? is debugger feature by default off in PS 4.0 ISE? is this what debugging items are gray out?
i looked for a cmdet to enumerate the current state of ISE debugger (on or off) but unfortunately didn't find anything.
another confusion: is it necessary to run the entire script at least one time so that step into feature be available to use?
is yes, that's too bad. i want first examine my script line by line
any help please
thanks in advancedUnless you have break points inserted and the script actually running, then those options will be greyed out. You need to first insert your break point, and then run the script. Once the code where the break point is going to be executed, the script
will stop there allowing you to step into or out of

Don't Retire Technet
Hi clayman
thanks for your answer. useful
after examining many different states finally i discovered the Hidden rule which i didn't find this on the net.
the rule is:
when we want to examine our entire script line by line ( step into our script), we must create a line breakpoint on the
first line of the script &
then press F5, now the items on the debug menu are available such as step into
i wrote this for people who encounter such problem but after lots of search on the internet, they find no document describing this
please mark as answer if this helps you -
71 Days and counting - Photo Stream still grayed out in iCloud
71 Days and counting and Photo Stream still grayed out in iCloud CP since problem first discussed with Apple. No help, just reported to software engineers for investigation. Two months ago! So much for Apples's superior products and customer service.
Photo Stream works fine between 2 iPhone 4Ss and one iPad2.
Completely removed iTunes, per tech help instructions, and completely remove iCloud.
Downloaded latest iTunes
Reinstalled iTunes.
Downloaded latest iCloud
Reinstalled iCloud.
Logged in to iCloud on PC
Photo Stream still grayed out on PC iCloud Control Panel.I have posted a fix that works for two issues:
You can't sign onto iCloud Control Panel; just hangs with a spinning progress wheel forever..
You CAN sign onto iCloud Control Panel, but things like photostream are greyed out
https://discussions.apple.com/thread/3811063?tstart=30
If you have iCloud control panel open, close it. Make sure its not even minimized on your system tray.
Copy this path to your clipboard: %userprofile%\AppData\Roaming\Apple Computer\Preferences
Goto 'start -> run' (or click 'windows+r' hotkey)
Paste the path in the run box and hit enter
From the folder that is opened, rename 'MobileMeAccounts.plist' out of the way (or you can delete it if want..)
Restart iCloud control panel and try logging on again. MobileMeAccounts.plist is regenerated the next time you sign out from control panel.
Apparently MobileMeAccounts.plist is getting screwed up in a couple different ways and prevents this from working correctly. After you log on control panel again, photostream will not be greyed out. You will have to reselect your custom path you want to store your pictures unless you just wanted to stick with the default path control panel is set to.

When I start FF, a small box comes up in the upper middle of the screen - it is from Flash Player and it has two selections: allow and deny. With this flash player box, the upper third of the screen is grayed out. It will not allow use of most visited, bookmarks, or anything that is to be initiated at the top of the page. Even if I start a program, I cannot use the upper controls for that program. This is the second day that it has been blocking my use of FF. Note: I also use Seamonkey, but it has not been affected by the flash player problem. I have re-installed flash player, re-booted, restarted FF, and no changes have come about. I am still blocked from using FF. In fact, I am using this support page on Seamonkey.
this sounds really strange, could you attach a screenshot of the issue?
another thing you can try to troubleshoot the issue is a clean reinstall: remove firefox from the windows control panel & chose to remove all personal data in the uninstaller. afterwards manually check if the firefox program folder got deleted (it's usually in ''C:\Program Files\Mozilla Firefox'') and else remove it manually. then download & install a fresh copy at getfirefox.com
if this doesn't work either please do a full scan of your system with the security software already in place and different tools like the [http://www.malwarebytes.org/products/malwarebytes_free free version of malwarebytes], [http://www.bleepingcomputer.com/download/adwcleaner/ adwcleaner], [http://www.microsoft.com/security/scanner/default.aspx microsoft safety scanner] & [http://www.kaspersky.com/security-scan kaspersky security scan]. -
I am trying to use Iphoto and the share button is grayed out so I cannot send an email
I have tried multiple times to upload photos but the "share" button is grayed out. Anyone know how to fix that?
That refers to iMovie, not iPhoto, and photos in Events can certainly be shared to Email.
What email option have you selected? IPhoto? Or some other one?
