FCE Slug Generator for HDV

After many hours of frustrating transcoding, I realized that FCE is treating a still photo, in some cases, as a gap, and I was getting audio dropouts at those points. 3 dropouts in a 13 min. video, and the only occurred in areas where there was no video, only stills.
I have added a "slug" set to opacity = 0, under the stills, and it has solved many of the dropout problems. However, upon examination, the slug is a DV slug (720x480), even though the project is HDV. Right-click, "Fill with slug" does the same.
I can generate a slug with the camera (lens cap on), and use that, but is there a HDV slug generator?
Thanks in advance, David E.

Thanks for the suggestion. I just used some leftover HDV clips for slugs, set to opacity=0.
I have tried the mixdown on audio, with no sucess. It fixed some of the problems, but not the dropouts over the still photos.
Adding the slugs fixed it, and I just transcoded 2 perfect copies.
Thanks again, David

  • Resolution recommendations for HDV, FCE and iDVD

    The Canon HV30 camcorder outputs HDV in 1080/60i, 1080/24p, 1080/30F, 1080/24F, 1080/30p. Which of these would yield the best results from a workflow and image quality point of view through FCE and iDVD for creating a DVD to be used on an HDTV fed by a progressive-scan DVD player?
    Can any of these formats be edited and then written back to tape without losing a lot of image quality?
    Also interested if iMovie 9 is the same in these areas as FCE (which I already have).
    Thanks in advance!
    MikeR

    So, it doesn't matter what I shoot in - the quality will be equal no matter if it's progressive to start with or interlaced? I might have thought that keeping things progressive all the way through would be the best for a DVD played on an HD set.

  • Is there a video generator for lines?

    I'm still drawing circles, squares, and lines to overlay on my videos. Some time ago when I needed to make circles and squares, but didn't know how, someone here (Piero I think) told me about a great plug-in generator called Frames for just that purpose, which I installed in FCE and now use a lot (I forget the author of that wonderful program, but it appears under Video Generators > pf > Frames).
    Well, now I'd like an easier way to draw lines on my videos than creating mattes and cropping them down to a sliver, or creating them in Photoshop on transparent backgrounds and then importing them into FCE as .psd files. Those methods are slow and tedious.
    What I'd really like is a line generator on the order of that great pf plug-in for creating frames, only this one would be for lines. And ideally it would be able to create control points on a generated line so that you could curve and bend the line into various shapes, for example to match the twists and turns of a road on a map, or to make arcs and S-shapes. And it should have arrowheads available to put on the ends for pointing at things: arrows.
    Does anyone know of any such line generator available anywhere for Final Cut Express?

    That arrow generator is really nice, Ian, thanks much. That solves one of my problems; I was making arrows in Photoshop and importing them, which was tedious. But now with this generator I can quickly make any size or length arrow easily, right inside FCE. I notice that the size of the arrow after rendering is slightly smaller and thinner than it appears pre-rendered, but once you get used to that, and compensate for it a little in your design, you can make arrows of just the right size needed. Very nice!
    Now if there were only a generator for curved, bent, or squiggly lines, able to be shaped as desired, for example to create a line to match the shape of a road as seen on a map, or an aerial photograph, I'd be all fixed. I don't suppose any such generator exists yet, though, so I'm still stuck with Photoshop for that, for now.

  • Wrong Absence Quota generated for change of entitlement

    Hi experts,
    I have one employee joined somewhere in mid January 2008 (his IT000 start date, IT0001 start date, and IT0041 date is the same, i.e. mid Jan 2008).
    The Annual Leave Base Entitlement setting (V_T559E) for his particular grouping is based on seniority:
    Seniority  0 - 4 = 15 days
    Seniority 4 - 9 = 18 days
    Base period is : Calendar Years.
    At the Selection Rule (V_T559L) :
    - Accrual Period tab => Monthly (Take account of Change of WPBP is checked)
    - Base Entitlement => Key date for determining seniority = Date Type (from IT0041)
    - Accrual Entitl. => Pro rate calculation = selected
    Up to last year (2011), the AL entitlement generated for the emp is 15 days (12 * 1.25). Which is correct.
    When I create for next year (2013), 18 days is generated (12 * 1.5). Which is also correct.
    For this year, 2012, I expect to see 18 days (or 17.75?). However I'm seeing 19 days.
    After debugging, I found that for month of January, 2 entitlements are calculated.
    Take for example the employee joined on 21 January 2008.
    There were 2 records generated by HR_QTACC_QUOTAS_GENERATE:
    1. 20.01.2012 with 1.25 day
    2. 31.01.2012 with 1.25 day
    For Feb until Dec 2012, I'm seeing 1.5 day for each month (which is correct). I.e. :
    Feb: 28.02.2012 with 1.5 day
    Mar: 31.03.2012 with 1.5 day
    ... and so on until dec
    Dec: 31.12.2012 with 1.5 day
    They all add up to 19 days.
    Any advice on what should be corrected here?
    Thanks in advance!

    Hi, Yuki!
    In your example, can you tell us how should it accumulate if the seniority date is in june/2012?
    And another doubt, what is your accrual period?
    What Iu2019ve understood every seniority change youu2019ll have this problem, if the employee starts in the company during the middle of the month.
    Please answer that two questions, so I try to do some test here.
    Regards,

  • Schedule Lines generated for expired Scheduling agreements

    Hi All,
    We are facing problems in Scheduling agreements.
    Schedule lines are getting generated for those agreements whose validity has expired(i.e Validity in Past).
    Is there any check to restrict those Scheduling Agreements??
    Please Help.
    Regards,
    Ritesh.

    from OSS note 914607 - FAQ: Validity and status of scheduling agreements
    1. Question: When I process scheduling agreements without delivery schedules, I have the option to specify the validity of the scheduling agreement: "Valid" and "Valid to". What role does the validity play when the scheduling agreement is processed?
    Response: In the case of scheduling agreements without delivery schedules, the system checks the validity of the scheduling agreement if you create a new schedule line or change an existing schedule line. If the schedule line date is outside the validity interval, a warning message is issued. You can then decide whether or not to create the schedule line or whether to adjust the validity of the scheduling agreement. No error message is issued.
    2. Question: What role does the validity play in the case of scheduling agreements with delivery schedules?
    Response: The function is similar to scheduling agreements without delivery schedules. The only difference is that the entry of the validity is optional (unlike scheduling agreements without releases) and this is not checked by the system. If the validity is missing, the system does note issue a warning message. If you specify the validity, the system behaves in the same way as for scheduling agreements without releases.

  • SQLloder scripts not getting generated for CLOBs

    I am trying to migrate MYSQL 3.23 database into Oracle 8.1.7 and after creating the Oracle model and after converting the MYSQL text datatype into CLOB of the Oracle model the SQLloader scripts is not getting generated for CLOB datatypes. I mean the scripts are getting created but there is no change in the script for CLOB datatype.
    The script generates the following for the table containing CLOB datatypes:
    mysqldump -h <HOST> -u <USERNAME> -p<PASSWORD> -T <DESTINATION_PATH> fields-terminated-by="<ec>" lines-terminated-by="<er>" test av_wbt_course
    Please let me know how to load data when the datatype is of CLOB ?

    Edited by: sampath s on Jul 13, 2011 11:31 AM

    Dear,
    In general MPS is run for High value items ( if you use like Gold , Platimum or A class items. ).
    Always only single level is used for Explosion and planning. then only you can analyse the requirements at each stage before procurement.
    Otherwise if you run MPS to multi level, Bottom most high value will be procured without any notice to authorities. Even you may cancel the process in mid way. At that time what will happen to the procured high value material.
    So for that purpose only single item single level MPS concept is evolved.
    Fo that you run MPS at single level so that only for the first level MPS will be carried out.
    Check and revert back.\
