FCP Item Properties (Progressive) - exported File (Interlaced) - how?

Item properties of my XDCAM EX clips areProgressive (as expected - they were shot that way)
(Field Dominance - None).
But if I export a clip from my (field dominance - None) timeline . . .
Whether I choose Uncompressed QT, PNG or JPEG - they all come out (Field Dominance - Upper).
PNG was the only export that gave me a choice - I chose "None" for Field Dominance and it still came out "Upper".
Is it me, or what?

you might try using compressor to do the conversion and see if that makes any difference.
I exported ProRes 422 using compressor and that was progressive - but at the time I was trying to export a file that someone with a PC could examine. They can't handle ProRes but they seem to be able to use PNG, JPEG or Uncompressed QT.
All of these were interlaced!
(Curious).
The moment has passed now because I was looking for a way to get good quality SD from XDCAM EX footage.

  • FCP Item Properties

    Hi, I'm making a music video bound for the internet shooting on a DVX100B in PAL progressive (25fps) in squeeze mode (anamorphic).
    Now in final cut pro I was wondering what the best settings were in the item properties tab. Also if I change the sequence item properties settings will it change all the clips I've used in that sequence (the stuff in the timeline) or will I have to change each clip individually in the timeline?
    So the following settings are (for the sequence):
    Vid rate: 25fps
    Frame Size: 720x576
    Compressor: DV PAL
    Pixel Aspect: CCIR 601 (should I change this to square and if so why?)
    Anamorphic: (no tick)
    Field Dominance: Lower (Even) (Should I change this to none and if so why?)
    Thanks for any advice on the following query. Any info at all on how and why I should change the above settings would be great. I'm also using compressor after this so could I make all these changes in compressor instead of in FCP, or is it best to change them here first as well?
    Thanks again
    Kev

    Kev,
    Changing the sequence settings won't change clip properties.
    Pixel Aspect: Don't change
    ANamorphic: Do Tick
    Field: Lower
    Consider changing to Pro Res SD rather than DV.
    I'd rather work with the correct settings in FCP so I could get reasonably accurate feedback on what I was editing. Export as QT Movie Current Settings. Bring into COmpressor as source file for a job/batch. Use Compressor to transcode. Start with one of the QT download presets and adjust bit rate and frame controls until you're satisfied.
    Good luck.

  • Mbs in QT Info different than FCP Item properties

    When I command I a QT on the desktop I get a substantially different Mbs data rate than when I check data rate in item properties in FCP. Why is this?

    QT on desktop -command I - 216.13 Mbit/s. FCP-select clip in browser command 9 - 25.8 MB/s
    Those are two different units of measurement. QuickTime is giving you the rate in MegaBits,
    FCP is giving you the rate in MegaBytes.
    As Tom points out, the difference is in fact insignificant and averaging may account for your perceived discrepancy.

  • Date concatination to export file name on windows / Novell

    Hi everybody,
    I need utility which can add date at end of export file. How its possible in DOS/Windows/NT/Novell.
    eg: exprod.dmp --- exprod07122002.dmp
    Thanks

    If you're invoking export with a shell script you could do something like:
    exp file=exp%date%.dmp <other options>
    If you want to format the date you need to do something ugly like:
    setlocal
    for /F "tokens=1-4 delims=/ " %%i in ('date /t') do (
    set DayOfWeek=%%i
    set Month=%%j
    set Day=%%k
    set Year=%%l
    exp file=exp%Day%%Month%%Year%.dmp <other options>
    endlocal

  • Exported file has garbage

    Export is not working on my PDF file to other formats. I tried word and Excel formats.  All I am getting is diamonds in the exported file.  How do I go about fixing this problem.

    If you want the output of the report in the text format you will have to change the system parameter (mode) to character and the system parameter (desformat) to dflt. U can put validation trigger at the parameter form and change the value at run time also.

  • Regarding Item properties

    Hello,

    HI  rayudu kmk   
                                      Item properties Can not be Extended, I feel 64 Properties more then enough , because this 64 properties is For Each Business Partners or  Items So       For Each item and Business Partner you can have 64 Properties
    Now tell me what is your Exact need , Do u need more then 64 properties for a Individual Business Partner or  Item?

  • Interlacing artifacts on progressive footage in FCP but not when exported?

    Hey everyone! Thanks so much to everyone here who has helped me before!
    I am trying to edit a music video on my 2GHz Core2 Duo Macbook. I can do everything just fine, but with one little hitch.
    The video I am editing was shot DVCPro 1080p 30.
    When playing back the raw footage, or playing back my edits in FCP, the video has interlacing artifacts during periods of quick movement, even though the footage was shot progressive. However, when the video is exported, *there are no artifacts upon playback.*
    Also, if I open the video in Adobe Photoshop CS5 Extended, and look at the video one frame at a time, the interlacing artifacts are there!
    Anyone have any idea about why this is happening?
    Thanks so much!

    The field order of the clips are also set to none.
    Here is a picture of the item properties window of one of my main shots:
    http://gabrielredding.com/clip_info.jpg
    To make things more interesting, the interlacing follows a pattern. Three frames of non-interlaced shots, and then two frames of interlaced shots. Consistently.
    Could this have something to do with my integrated graphics card?
    Like I said, when the video is exported to a different format, the interlacing is gone, even though no deinterlacing was applied...
    Thanks

  • How to export HDV interlaced project as progressive?

    Hello guys,
    I have finished my video. It is sitting on my interlaced timeline waiting for export.
    The video was shot and edited in HDV 1440 x 1080 i 60. Timeline settings are the same as video settings.
    If I export it using Quick Time movie, I will end up with HDV 1440 x 1080 i 60 file with .mov file.
    But how can I obtain HDV 1440 x 1080 30 progressive .mov file?

    When you Export to QuickTime Movie, you don't have to use Current Settings. You can export to anything, including HDV 1080p30. However, this will merely set the field dominance of the exported movie to "None".
    To get a progressive result you'll need to de-interlace your sequence with the "De-Interlace" filter. To avoid filtering every clip in your sequence, Nest your sequence first, then apply the filter to the nested sequence. Option-double-click the nested sequence to load it in the Viewer, then access the Filter tab and try the different de-interlacing options. Flicker Filter (max) gives the smoothest (but a slightly softer) result.
    Finally, Export to QuickTime Movie, choosing a 1440x1080p30 preset. ProRes and HDV are your options here. However, only go back to HDV if you're:
    a) Exporting back to HDV tape
    b) Producing an HD-DVD disc with DVD Studio Pro
    c) Needing to keep a relatively small file for archiving purposes
    d) Not applying many effects or colour correction filters
    If you're going to recompress or treat your sequence further, you'll probably want to export to ProRes 422 as an intermediate format. You'll probably also want to look at the Render settings under Sequence Settings and set the render codec to ProRes 422 for the same reason.
    HDV native editing is great for most purposes. However, if you're colour correcting or using heavy effects (like a De-Interlace on every frame!) you can avoid recompression artifacts by rendering and exporting in ProRes.
    If you really want the progressive look, try to shoot progressive in the first place. The Canon HV40 will do a great job if you're on a tight budget.

  • How to export user defined properties in seperate file

    Hello,
    i want to export user definied properties in a seperate file using OMB+ commands. The documentation of this topic doesn't work.
    The OMB Code I use is the following:
    OMBEXPORT TO MDL_FILE '${Pfad}/006_${Project}.mdl' \
    FROM PROJECT '${Project}' \
    ALL_CLASS_DEFINITONS \
    CONTROL_FILE '$SANDBOX_HOME/Project.ctl' \
    INCLUDE_USER_DEFINITIONS \
    OUTPUT LOG TO '${Pfad}/006_${Project}_exp.log'
    The control file defines the path and filename for the the definitons in this way:
    DEFINITIONFILE=C:\Arbeitsverzeichnis\udp.mdd
    But the file will not be created and i get no error message.
    When using this command the udp' definitons will be exported, but in the general project export file. Which is the correct way to export the definition in a seperate file?

    - Create a user-defined OTD with one String field.
    - Create an XSD-based OTD with repeating name and value fields of type String
    - Create a "New Web Service" Java Collaboration whose input will be the first OTD, whose output will be the second OTD and whose operation will be named getProeprties, or some such
    - Implement, in Java, the code necessary to read your properties, given the properties file name or path (given in the input OTD) and populate the name/valur pairs on the output OTD
    - drag the operation of the collaboration onto the Business Process Editor canvas as an Activity
    - Configure a Busienss Rule to set the input of the getProperties activity to the name/path of the properties file
    - Configure a Business Rule(s) to use the name/value pairs returned from the ivocation of teh getProperties service
    If you wish to take this one step further you could consider writing the java collaboration
    a) generically so it can be reused from different business processes
    b) to cache the properties on first read so each invocation after the first one simply returns the in-memory values instead of re-reading the proerties from disk
    c) generically so it can read, cache and return different property sets depending on the properties file/path provided as input.
    Bear in mind that IO from a java collaboration by means other than an eWay violates the EJB spec.. It works all the same.

  • How do you freeze the tablix header row in an Excel export file in SSRS 2008?

    So this is totally killing me.
    I've found out how to make a tablix header row repeat on each page of a PDF export file in SSRS 2008 (which I won't even get started on because all I can say is that 2005 is way better), but I cannot figure out how to make a simple header row of a tablix
    freeze in an Excel export file.  The tablix is right at the top of the body and spans the entire width of the design area.  How in the world do you get it to freeze in the Excel export file?

    Rashiki777,
    From your information, I get that you want to freeze the tablix header when view the report in Excel. Please follows
    these steps:
     Click
    the header row
    Click
    View menu on  top of the toolbar, then you will Freeze Panes
    Select one kind of Freeze based on your requirement.
    This link supplies the detailed steps
    http://inpics.net/tutorials/excel2007/vis5.html If you have any concern, please feel free to ask.
    Of course,
    you could utilize the list control to display a certain rows on one sheet, then every sheet in Excel will have one header, the steps are following:
    Drag a list into report body, right-click
    Details in Row Groups panel to select Group Properties….
    Click
    Add button, then type in expression =ceiling(RowNumber(nothing)/25)
    in the textbox Note: 25 is just 25 rows per page, you could reset this value based on your requirement.
    Drag the table control into this list control.
    If you want to display every page in every sheet, you could add a page break to the table control in the list.
    Best regards,
    Challen Fu

  • FCP Stops responding when exporting quicktime file still

    FCP Fresh install and FCP Still fails to export quicktime file, stops responding.

    You know Lloyd, if this is a second thread about an old problem, you are really better off in the original thread. It allows us to follow along with the problem at hand, what has been suggested and what you have tried so far and the results.
    Just off the top of my head and without searching for the original thread (I'm too lazy today,) I'm guessing you might have a corrupted file or render file.
    Does it always stop at the same place? Where is your media stored? to where are you exporting? How much ram do you have?

  • How to create list items with multiple attachment files using rest api javascript

    In one of user form I am using javascript rest api to create a list item with multiple attachment files. So far I am able to create list item and once created uploading an attachment file. But this is two step process first create an item and then upload
    a file.
    It create an additional version of the item which is not desired. Also I am not able find a way to attach multiple files in a go. Following is the code I am using.
    createitem.executeAsync({
                    url: "/_api/web/lists/GetByTitle('UserForm')/items(1)/AttachmentFiles/add(FileName='" + aFile.name + "')",
                    method: "POST",
                    contentType: "application/json;odata=verbose",
                    headers: {
                        "Accept": "application/json;odata=verbose",
                        "X-RequestDigest": $("#__REQUESTDIGEST").val()
                    binaryStringRequestBody: true,
                    body: fileContent,
                    success: fnsuccess,
                    error: fnerror
    So somehow I need to combine item attributes along with attachment files in body: param. I visited https://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/office/dn531433.aspx#bk_ListItem but no success.
    Appreciate any help.

    Thanks Mahesh for the reply and post you share it was useful.
    But this does not solve the core of the issue. You are uploading attachments after creation of item and multiple files are being attached in loop. This is kind of iterative update to an existing item with attachments. This will end up creating multiple versions. 
    What I am trying to achieve is to create an item along with multiple attachments in a go. No item updates further to attach a file.
    Please suggest how this can be done in one go. SharePoint does it when one creates an item with multiple attachment.
    Thanks for your reply.

    No the pages will open as separate documents in Expert Mode. You really need Acrobat or possibly you could copy and paste the contents into MS word. Then re-save as PDF.
