FCP renders different part of footage

I see that other people have had this prob in the past but I don't see any solutions... Everything plays fine in my timeline, but when timeline is rendered or exported, FCP substitutes a different part of the footage, so I end up with all these random shots in my piece.
Also, the thumbnail for the clip in the timeline displays a different image than the clip I've selected.
And there is a lot of black at the end of my captured clip (as though audio and video are not in sync).
This all started when I upgraded to FCP 6.
Thanks anyone who can help!

Sure, thanks. It's happened in a variety of projects, with different types of footage, but I'll give you specs on the project I'm working on now as an example.
Footage is 720x480 29.97 NTSC captured from DVCAM (this footage worked brilliantly in another project last year).
Sequence settings:
720x480
NTSC 3:2
CCIR 601
compressor DV/DVCPRO NTSC
OSX 10.5.6
FCP 6.0.5
QT 7.6
We capture footage using a router and AJA Kona LH but have also experienced same prob with footage captured via Firewire.

I am making multiple DVD's of roughly 50 hours of footage on DVD Studio pro with 4 separate menus for 4 different 'parts' or series if you will. 50 hours - 20 episodes - 4 parts of 5 episodes each. What are my options in terms of burning these parts on to separate DVD's, what is the process, what size DVD RW should I buy, what bitrate should I use, and what quality I should expect for the burn. Any advice or insight is welcome.

>>What are my options in terms of burning these parts on to separate DVD's<<
20 episodes totaling 50 hours equals about 2.5 hours per episode assuming all episodes have the same duration. Fitting 2.5 hours onto one single layer DVD would require a low bit rate which means quality wouldn't be anywhere near best, but that's a judgement call you'll have to make based on several factors. For example; if there is not much motion in the video (talking heads, etc), you can get by with a lower bit rate and may not notice any quality difference.
>>what is the process>>
The process is essentially the same as it is when authoring a regular DVD with 2 hours or less of content. However, with as many discs as you'd need to complete this "set," you'll need to create a separate DVD Studio Project for each disc. Basically, you'd use one of Compressor's DVD Presets (or customize a preset) to create an MPEG--2 video file (.m2v) and a Dolby Digital audio file (.AC3). Import both of those assets into your DVD Studio Pro project for authoring and burning.
If you want to keep one episode per disc, DVD Studio Pro does have a 150 minute preset or you could use dual-layer discs with a higher bit rate for better quality. Again; your call.
>>what size DVD RW should I buy<<
Size? 12cm. Capacity? Single layer, single sided DVD discs (DVD-5) have a rated capacity of 4.7Gb (4.37Gb actual), including menus. If you use single layer discs and want to keep the quality reasonably good, you'd need at least 50 discs to complete this "set" with each disc holding roughly 2 hours of footage if you keep the menu on each disc simple. Or, you could use dual-layer discs (DVD-9) which have a capacity of about 7.95Gb - almost doubling the recordable capacity. There are also dual-sided, dual-layer discs available (DVD-18) but they are relatively expensive and have to be manually turned over to continue playback ... but they do have roughly 15.9Gb capacity.
>>what bitrate should I use, and what quality I should expect for the burn<<
Exactly; the quality is dependent on the bit rate chosen, as well as the quality of the compression. Using compression markers where needed can greatly increase the quality of playback but will most likely increase the file size of the compressed video. For the best quality, keeping the bit rate as high as possible allowed under the DVD specification will yield the best quality but some DVD players may choke if the bit rate is too high. For best quality I typically aim for a bit rate around 7.6 to 8.0Mbps but that will only allow about one hour of footage.
Naturally, if you decrease the bit rate, you can fit more footage onto the disc but quality will be sacraficed.   Here's a chart approximating DVD bit rates and durations for single layer discs (does not include space for menus):
3.5Mbps - 120 minutes
5.0Mbps -   95 minutes
6.0Mbps -   82 minutes
7.6Mbps -   65 minutes
8.0Mbps -   60 minutes

FCP rendering speed

Hi.
I have used to do some stuff in Motion to 1024x576 (square pix pal) and take it to FCP to uncompressed anamorphic PAL sequence.
With my old mac (powerPC) and with old FCP it rendered quite fast (in this case about 10 minutes) but now with new FCP (studio2) and dual quad-core intel the same thing takes about 50 minutes to render with same settings. How can this be true? What is this new FCP doing differently?
In motion I have resolution full, render quality normal and motion blur on. I think it is this motion blur that takes so much time but why didn't it take before?
Thanks..

Now I found that in Sequence Settings there was quality control for Motion Projects. Changing it to Normal reduced rendering speed dramatically but it didn't give me motion blur anymore. :/

How to use "User Events" in different parts of an application

Hi,
"You programmatically can create and name your own events, called user events, to carry user-defined data. Like queues and notifiers, user events allow different parts of an application to communicate asynchronously. You can handle both user interface and programmatically generated user events in the same Event structure."
What you read was part of labview 7.1 user manual ( Chapter 9 - pg.12 ). I've some problems with the underlined sentence. I hope someone can help me.
When using Queues, the programmer may use a named queue everywhere in the application. there is no need to wire queue reference among VIs or using global variables to store queue reference. the name of the queue will be all that you need. I wonder if it is also possible with a event refnum that is the output of "Register for Event" node. As far as I've tested. the answer is Negative! I tried to copy-paste refnum in front panels and using the same name. but there is no connection between event refnums.
LV User manual claims that user events can be used like queues, but it doesn't seem so.
Does anybody have an idea?
Best Regards.

I didn't look at Damien Gray's presentation recently, but if I remember it correctly, it is on a much higher level than what I meant, because it refers to LARGE application. This is a very simple one.
Using a functional global is not problematic CPU-wise, nor memory wise (unless you get into really big data structures, like hundreds of MBs), so you shouldn't be afraid to use it. I'm also not sure why you're afraid of the loop. The loop is only there to "hold" the USR. It only runs once. If you want, you can replace it with a for loop that runs once. I've recently learned that apparently, you can also get rid of the loop and use a local variable (look at the example called XY chart) instead of a USR. I don't think a local variable should have any more impact than a USR, but that needs to be tested. It can definitely be more convenient for some VIs where you don't have to wire the SR through the entire VI.
Anyway, you will need to have an "obtain ref" VI which will hold a 1D array of names and a corresponding array of refs. Then, you search the array for the name, and if it finds the name, it extracts the correct reference. You will also need a way to input references and names into the array and possibly a way to empty the array. You may need to have 2 levels - the inner VI will be the LV2 VI and the parent will be the obtain ref\fill array\close VI. You will need some error handling as well - what happens if you search for a name and it can't be found and so on...
Hope this helps.

How to select different parts of the text? cmd button no longer does that...

After installing Maverics i can no longer propertly edit my work as I cannot mark different parts of text using cmd button. Shift works as before for highlighting all the text from starting point to selected point but I can no longer use cmd to highlight different areas of the text. Is this an OS bug? Or was the button for selecting different parts of the text changed? I tried everything...

It's just a small part of what makes Pages 5 so "stunning" (Apple's word). You think stripping out the nifty ability to mark non-contiguous passages of text was neat? Sure that was nice. But Apple has gotten rid of more, so much more. And for free!
Just wait till you put the product through its paces and you discover other nice features that are missing, such as (but not limited to):
- no linking of text boxes! Yes, that's right. Now a newsletter that had a "continued on page 6" or whatever will be broken by Pages 5. Stunning! (Even more stunning, Pages 5 will strip out all sorts of formatting from documents created with Pages 4.3 and it will do ao without warning and will save the document in a NEW unified file format so that it cannot be opened by Pages 4.3, thereby potentially losing users hours and hours of work. Stunning!
There's more!
- Pages 5 has no mail merge, no bookmarks, no images in headers/footers! Pages 4.3 has those features, but this stunning new release removes them.
- Pages 5 features vastly reduced and simplified set of templates (there used to be about 130 Apple-cupplied templates, now there are about 60).
- Page 5 also boasts NO RTF SUPPORT, so a paper your wrote with Apple's own TextEdit is not natively readable with Pages: Stunning!
- No detail was too small to omit in this stunning new release: the vertical ruler, so you can easily place text or an obejct at a certain place in a document: gone! Setting the default zoom: gone! Status bar reproting word count and pagecount (e.g., Page 4 of 48): Gone! View comments in the left side bar: Gone! Autocapitalization: Gone! Search & Replace: drastically simplified!
But here's the really good news: Pages 5 is just PERFECT for creating a one page-poster advertising a new concert by Apple employee Eddie Cue. What's more you can collaborate on it with someone else, even if they're using a PC. Now that's "stunning"!

Adobe Acrobat Standard 9.0- 2 different part numbers?

I see two different part numbes while shopping for Adobe Acrobat Standard 9.0. 22002418 and 22002420. Does anyone know the difference?

I don't know about the numbers, though it appears to be related to specific versions. For instance, you have a full retail version and an OEM version with the same number (only OEM added). There is a DVD version supposedly. What raises flags for me are the Retail versus 1 user versions. As far as I know, all versions are 1 user unless you are purchasing a volume license. The other flag is the sale of the OEM version on line. That is not consistent with the OEM process. You may be able to purchase a legit copy at this location, but you are taking a risk. The site looks perfectly legit, but most bogus sites do. Good luck in whatever decision you make.

Static text in textfields renders differently when published in CS4/CS5

Hi
I am experiencing an issue where legacy files I created in Flash CS4 look different when published in CS5. Fonts are rendered differently. I have noticed it so far on DIN and Goudy Modern. The output when published in is CS5 is markedly different than the output when published in CS4.
Can anyone offer any pointers on how to think about, deal with, avoid etc.
Many thanks.
Mike
UPDATE
A little more logic to add.
It seems to be opening the file in CS5 changes the fonts somehow. CS4 files that I have not opened in CS5 publish as I would expect in CS4. CS4 files that I have opened in CS5 publish differently whether then published in CS5 or CS4. On Goudy for example. In CS5 adding .5 to the character spacing and 3.5 (not 2) to the line spacing makes the font render similarly in CS5 as it did in CS4 at 0 character spacing and 2 on the line height.

Yes. It's static. I recreated the text and now it works. Weird.
Thank you for your reply and time.

Different parts for the same ID

Hi,
TABLE1 contains informations about programs, these include:
PROGRAM_ID (fk of program table), PART_NO, MEDIA_ID
A program can be made of different parts (PART_NO i.e., part 1, 2, 3, 4, or 5).
The media_id is the unique identifier or a VHS tape where the program is recorded on.
Parts of a program will have the same Media_id as long as the sum of their lenght does not exceed the VHS length, if that happens, the media_id for the part which does not fit the VHS will be different:
i.e. Program1 has 4 parts of 1 hour each. Part 1 and 2 will be on the same VHS (2 hours), hence will have the same media_id; part 3 and 4 will have a different media_id associated to program1.
TABLE2 contains information about the media:
MEDIA_ID (pk), MEDIA_NAME
If one program has more than one media associated to it, I need to be able to display both media_names on the same row as the program_id under the same column called VHS_Number (I asssume by using concat).
Can anyone suggest anything so that I can move in the right direction?
thanks

Colors in FCP looks different than when playing in QT7

The colors of the video's in FCP looks different than when playing back in QuickTime. I wonder if it can be a color management setting in FCP? I have the same problem when playing a clip in AE. I have two FCP machines, but only one of them is having this problem. Any ideas of what I can do to get the right colors back?

Have you enabled Final Cut Studio Color Compatibility in the QT Player preferences?

Where do I place the different parts of the HTML 5 published files on a web page?

I recently published an HTML 5 canvas document from Flash. Once the files are published where do they go on a web page? For example, lets say I had 3 animations published from Flash as HTML canvas objects. The files go on different parts of page, let's say in 3 different places in the body. Flash outputs the HTML file, JavaScript file, and whatever images in an 'images' folder. I'm not sure where I would place all these files on my web site. I know the JavaScript goes in the head of the index page. However, where do the other parts go? Further, if I have multiple HTML canvas objects how do I separate the code.
All of the tutorials demonstrate how to publish the file, but give no assistance on how to place the file or files on a web page.
Below is example code from a sample files:
<html>
<head>
<meta charset="UTF-8">
<title>HeadSpinning</title>
<script src="http://code.createjs.com/easeljs-0.7.1.min.js"></script>
<script src="http://code.createjs.com/tweenjs-0.5.1.min.js"></script>
<script src="http://code.createjs.com/movieclip-0.7.1.min.js"></script>
<script src="http://code.createjs.com/preloadjs-0.4.1.min.js"></script>
<script src="HeadSpinning.js"></script>
<script>
var canvas, stage, exportRoot;
function init() {
    canvas = document.getElementById("canvas");
    images = images||{};
    var loader = new createjs.LoadQueue(false);
    loader.addEventListener("fileload", handleFileLoad);
    loader.addEventListener("complete", handleComplete);
    loader.loadManifest(lib.properties.manifest);
function handleFileLoad(evt) {
    if (evt.item.type == "image") { images[evt.item.id] = evt.result; }
function handleComplete() {
    exportRoot = new lib.HeadSpinning();
    stage = new createjs.Stage(canvas);
    stage.addChild(exportRoot);
    stage.update();
    createjs.Ticker.setFPS(lib.properties.fps);
    createjs.Ticker.addEventListener("tick", stage);
</script>
</head>
<body onload="init();" style="background-color:#D4D4D4">
    <canvas id="canvas" width="615" height="400" style="background-color:#FFFFFF"></canvas>
</body>
</html>

All of the sections marked with the <script> tags should go in the head of the About page. From this line: <body onload="init();" style="background-color:#D4D4D4">, you want to take the onload="init();" part and add it to the <body> tag of the About page. You can also add the background color if you want.
The part marked with the <canvas> tag is the part that need to be added to the body of the About page. I don't know what your About page contains, so I can't tell you where it should be placed.

When unlocking an iPhone while a song is playing in iOS 7, the player skips to a different part of the song, has anyone else experienced this problem?

If I am playing a song in iOS 7 while the phone is locked, unlocking the phone seems to cause the Music app to skip to a different part of the song. It seems to be a random placement, sometimes ahead; sometimes back; sometimes very close to where it was, but rarely a continuous feed. Anyone have a clue what might be happening? Shake to Shuffle is off, only the Home Button has been touched. I also noticed that the display on the lock screen may be indicating where the playback will go once the phone is unlocked. Thanks for your help!

In reading other threads, I found a few that recommend a hard reset to solve the issue. I have tried it, and thus far haven't expereienced the problem again. Hopefully that's it then

Oversize documents being rendered with parts of the document cut off due to the large size

We are invoking web services on LiveCycle Server ES 8.2 to convert non pdf documents to pdf. We noticed that oversized documents are rendered with parts of it cut off when submitted for conversion.
Has anyone seen this before and how we can resolve this?
Thanks in advance.

The oversized file issue happens when we try to convert legal size documents. Part of the document is cut off.
Any documents wider than 8 and 1/2 by 11 has this issues.

How to handle same product with different part numbers and pricing in SAP.

I am a new user and want to learn if the following scenario can be handled by SAP.
Our business buys a product from a supplier which has 2 different part numbers and prices. It is the same product. One is the primary product whilst the other is available only as an upgrade option with a different part number to a mainline product at a cheaper price .
Our issue is that we sometimes buy the upgrade option with a mainline product to get the better price even though these go into stock. Basically we need to have the items linked with both part numbers in SAP at different prices but inventory both in and out only going against the primary part number. Any ideas?

Thanks Jitin
I did give them different part numbers and then attached a Bom containing the primary part number against the upgrade option however I really need to have the secondary item as a sales and purchase item but non inventory so the stock comes from the primary part. Ideally if we receipt the goods in as the secondary number the inventory goes to the primary part. If the second number is an inventory item then I have the issue of the same part with different part numbers sitting in stock at different prices and having to rely on employees understanding the difference.
Sorry to be so confusing. I will do some more testing over the weekend and see if I can find a suitable solution.
Thanks

Never override the paint(...) method of a Swing component.
If you have a sub image then add the image to a JLabel and add the label to the GUI. No need for custom painting.
