FCP help! Please? Lines in my picture
Hi.
Please help me if you can.
I am exporting a Quicktime movie from FCP for DVD Studio Pro 4. I chose the MPEG 4 option in the compression, make it best quality and bounce it. But when I look at the self-contained mov file, every time a person walks across the screen I am getting little lines on the light parts of the screen or a beating or sizzling effect in the dark parts. Basically it looks like everything is "alive" somewhat - objects like curtains seem to sizzle.
Can someone guide me in the proper choices to make when exporting from FCP to import into DVD Studio Pro? There is not an MPEG-2 or M2V option, and the MPEG compression breaks it down to MPEG-2 or M2v upon import into DVD Studio Pro anyway.
I guess I don't know how to get the best quality bounce from FCP, in order to have a file that is less that 4G in size. Can someone please advise?
There are no directions on exporting FOR DVD Studio Pro in the Final Cut books, nor was there a FCP prep covered in the DVD SP books.
Jill, if you are exporting for DVDSP, simply export your sequence using Export QuickTime Movie... leave it at Current Settings, make it self contained (if you have the space), bring that file into DVDSP. You have no need to go thru any other monkey motion. DVDSP will handle the compression...

Small Plastic Pieces Replacement Help Please! [Dv4-2165dx] Picture Included
Hello. In 2010 I bought a HP Dv4-2165dx. I really love this computer and would like to repair it.
As you can see in this picture the plastic part that covers these usb hubs and the ac power inlet was broken off.
I think it comes in a couple pieces. The first part, the long plastic cover, and under this cover there is a small round plastic part too, which you can see in my picture is quite mangled. It is too destroyed to use now.....
Where can I find a replacement piece for this? I can't tell if there are any numbers on it to identify the piece so it has been impossible to find.
Where could I find this small piece? How much do they run in cost? And are the relativly easy to find?
Thanks so much!Hi,
Sorry I can't see the image. Please use the first manual of the following link to work out part #:
http://h10025.www1.hp.com/ewfrf/wc/manualCategory?cc=us&lc=en&dlc=en&document=&product=4125881
Please note: Nowadays they don't sell small pieces, they sell the whole part(s). You may have to buy more than you need. After getting part #, you can eBay OR you can buy from the following site:

Capture Edirol V-8 into FCP - help please!
OK, here's my setup:
2 - Panasonic DVX100B's
1- MacPro (Quad)
1- Edirol V-8 (http://www.edirol.net/products/en/V-8/index.html)
FCP software
Here is my dilemma. I just bought the Edirol V-8 video mixer but have not gotten it yet. It does everything that I need it to do in a video mixer, but it does not have a Firewire output.
I do a 2-camera shoot (1 side, 1 overhead). I am trying to mix these signals on-the-fly thus avoiding a lot of FCP editing in post.
My question(s): What is the best way to capture the signal directly into FCP (using capture now) from the V-8? It has BNC and S-Video outputs but I've heard that these signals are of a low quality. I need this to be SD, DVD quality.
Do I need a card like a Aja Kona LS SD to capture the S-Video or BNC signal to FCP?
(http://www.usedvideogear.com/catalog/aja-kona-ls-sd-10bit-digital-and-12bit-anal og-capture-and-outp-p-748.html)
Should I return the V-8 and get something else that is in the $2K price range?
Should I get a miniDV deck, hook up the cameras to the V-8, then the V-8 to the miniDV deck and then go firewire into FCP?
I am "learning as I go" here, so ANY help is greatly appreciated!Before you buy...make sure FCP will recognize the unit as a DV device...DON't take a salespersons advice on this factor.
We have the Videonics (now Focusinfo) MXProDV 4 channel switcher...4 analog in/2 out - 2DV in / 1 out.
We have two issues...FCP won't recognize it as a FW device, so can't directly do 'Capture Now' with it.
Secondly, our cameras are anywhere from 25 to 100 ft from the unit. FW cable length is best when under 12 ft or so. There are some FW repeater/boosters available (search this forum or google), which might help, but we've not tried them. (Besides we're limited to 2 FW inputs and work w/4 cameras)
I have been partially successful getting the switcher to recognize DV cameras on 25' FW cables, but not consistently.
If you purchase the unit, make sure it's from a reputable dealer (who will take the unit back if necessary) and save your receipts...run some tests to make sure it's solid before committing to it.
Hope it works for you. If it does, post back and let us know.

Mastering onto DV from FCP - help please
Can anyone help? I shoot Sony EX1 (1080 25P).
I can edit happily using FCP on a Mac book Pro but I'm trying to master onto dv tape via firewire onto a Sony HVR M15 deck, but it won't happen.
It could also solve my other problem which is outputting work to a monitor. I have all the correct HDMI leads etc into a 1080 HD TV / Monitor, but it just won't play ball. At the moment I just use the fcp window - not ideal
Do I need to adjust the fcp sequence to make it all marry up ?
Thanks in advanceI'm still struggling I'm afraid. In seq settings what would you suggest the render codec should be set at - 'same as seq' or 'pro res 422'
When I use 'edit to tape' the preview is disabled and still no playback (any ideas on device settings for that?).
Even 'print to video' doesn't work, I get a slightly distorted playback on the mac screen but nothing on the monitor screen.
It's very frustrating, I'm sure it's got to be something simple, prob to do with formats.
Thanks again -
Help Please Line IN disappeared
i have recorded a few tracks with my guitar going straight into my computer. Never any midi. About a month ago my line in under preferences-sound-input disappeared and all i get internal microphone, i tried everything i could think of. Today at the local music store I purchased a presonus audio box usb thinking i could just connect that to my computer and not have to worry about the line in.. Now under preferences-sound- i see the audiobox usb is listed. The audiobox is on, everything plugged up but the computer is still using the internal microphone. What am I doing wrong? beyond frustrated.. thanks
Line IN disappeared
open your Audio MIDI Setup utility and select the line-IN, that should bring it back
the computer is still using the internal microphone.

Using BCC Uprez in FCP - help, please!
Can anyone give me SIMPLE instructions on how to uprez mini-DV footage in an HD timeline? The only tutorial I find is rather complicated, but it is giving instructions to compare 2 methods. I'm confused.
Has anyone got a 1, 2, 3, 4 method?
We are hoping to take an entire feature shot in mini-DV and uprez it to an HD standard. The source files are NTSC 720x480. What HD size would you recommend as well? We do not want so much to make it a lot bigger as we want to make the image much sharper.
Thanks so much.
confused
"Z"Hi Shane, hi all,
This is my first post on the forum and perhaps I should start a new discussion, but this question comes right off of this discussion, so here goes:
I have no doubt that what you say about DV quality being DV quality and that's the best it will be, but: how is it that dv can be uprezed sufficiently to be transferred to film and projected? I've seen some nice films shot progressive with the DVX blown up (most recently 'Girls Rock', great documentary). It just makes me think there must be a 'best' way to do this. Which brings me to the terranex: is what's special about it the speed it works, the results, or both? I've heard it said (or seen in written), that compressor can do the same thing, or close enough, but that it just takes a very long time. I've also seen it written that the terranex does a much better job.
I have a short 'film' shot on the DVX in 24pa, it's edited in 24fps timeline, and I'd like it to be able to look as good as possible if somebody throws it up on an HDTV. I still have to turn it into MPEG2 and burn a regular DVD, so whatever I would do to 'uprez it' wouldn't that simply be lost in the process? So do I just leave it alone and cringe as the HDTV does it's own scaling? Or is there an advantage to running it through compressor and turning it into 720p? I.e., let the software do the scaling?
While I'm rambling, is there an advantage to converting it to prores first? And should I make it uncompressed 8 or 10 bit before converting it to prores? So many questions, so few computer cycles... -
I always proceeded the same way. I cannot find the message in iTunes and do not know how to solve. Can someone help please?
You said pictures. Do you have them in iphoto, and then sync with iTunes? That should make them appear in your iPhone, check the Photos page in iTunes for the settings.
Space: when each photo is 5MB only, the 792 is already 4GB !

Idk I think its been a year in an half since I known about it being disabled. What do I do? Im scared to restore it because I dont want to lose my stuff.
You have to restore and thus erase your iPod. that is how it works.
Place the iOS device in Recovery Mode and then connect to your computer and restore via iTunes. The iPod will be erased.
iOS: Wrong passcode results in red disabled screen
If recovery mode does not work try DFU mode.

iOS: How to back up
If you restore from iCloud backup the apps will be automatically downloaded. If you restore from iTunes backup the apps and music have to be in the iTunes library since synced media like apps and music are not included in the backup of the iOS device that iTunes makes.

I Connected My IPad 1st Generation To The Computed To Have It updated And I Lost All of My Pictures, How Do I Get Them Back?? Help, Please!
Did you backup the iPad first? If you did - restore from the backup in order to restore the photos in the Saved Album on your iPad. If the photos were synced to the iPad, then sync them back again via iTunes.

http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1766
If you did backup first, you will be restoring your most recent backup and you should be OK. But know that when you restore from a backup, you restore everything that is in that backup onto the iPad .... All documents, device settings, all data and so on. You cannot just select photos to restore to the iPad. It's all or nothing. -
Just upgraded my iPad to IOS5 and when the download was completed, a window said that there was an error and it could not restore. Now I have a black screen with the Apple logo and the circle lines. None of the buttons respond. Help, please!!
Reset the iPad by holding down on the sleep and home buttons at the same time for about 10-15 seconds until the Apple Logo appears - ignore the red slider - let go of the buttons. Maybe this will let the iPad reboot and then you may need to restore again but see if this helps to start the iPad first.

I want to back up my iphoto library to my external drive, but can't find it it in my computer's tree. When I click pictures in the tree, it launches iphoto and there is no file name or icon to drag. What am I missing? I'm sure it is simple what ever it is. Help please?
now that you have found your iPhoto library you can drag it to the external drive to backup it up
If you launch iPhoto does it work properly?
However, when I tried to relocate it to the pictures folder, I get a message that I can't add the library because the folder is defective or damaged.
Exactly what are you doing? what is the exact error message?
And as to
Should I trash the pref file for pictures folder and try again?
I have no idea what you are speaking of - files and folers do not have Pref files - only applications have Pref files

@Naiks, having suffered through unsuccessful synching attempts for Calendar and Contacts myself, l would suggest you try the following:
UNINSTALL iCloud control panel from your PC. Seems silly, but do it.
Go into Outlook, and look at the very top menu. Click FILE, then ACCOUNT SETTINGS, then click the popup box.
You will see a list of all your email accounts. Make sure that ONE of them has a checkmark against it. If not, select the account your want as your default, and click "set as default.
Exit out of Outlook and reboot your machine.
Now reinstall iCloud, check CALENDAR and CONTACTS, and do as instructed when prompted.
Reboot for good luck and now launch OUTLOOK. All that remains is to locate your iCloud Contacts and Calendar files, and make them your default.
IMPORTANT: Don't panic if you can't find your contacts -- they're there. Click CONTACTS and you'll see you have several available contact files. Locate the one label "iCloud" in grey type. Right-click on it, select PROPERTIES, then click the Outlook Address Book tab. Check the box that says something like "Make this my default Outlook Address Book." Keep clicking "apply" and "okay" until you've exited out of the dialog box maze.
You may have to do something similar with your Calendar files. I dd not, but if you need to, do it.
Everything should now sync pretty seamlessly.
I didn't have the exact same problem as you, but my dilemma was close enough. Good luck!

Then connected external soundcard?to the notebook USB-USB as per manual. I have tried Creative's Smart Recorder but it shows no sound coming through on Analysis (same with Audiograbber software too). Sound card diagnostics show sound card OK and I can plug in headphones and get output. I am thinking hardware connection issue as I connected direct from turntable to microphone input &?got loud mike low quality recording but I ustand this is not recommended as can blow sound card (and poor receording anyway)?Is there another device I can easily plug into line in to test - or any other ideas gratefully received.
