Field dominance - help please...?

Hi there,
I have been compiling some videos for a DVD - I've been using various pieces of software but mainly iMovie. Unfortunately what I've found though, since the videos have come from various sources, that some of them when burned to DVD are jittery due to the fields being the wrong way round (PAL). I assume this could be down to some of the videos being created in DV format which is bottom field first, whereas PAL is top field first... Is that right?
Anyway, Is there any way in iMovie, or any other app for that matter, to flip the fields in a movie file?
Thanks!

    Hi,
    in ApEx, you could use IMG tag - <img src="/i/my_image.jpg"> and set Strip HTML to No. In this way you can insert image which is on server filesystem and you know relative path to it.

  • Missing Memo Fields from Universe Please Help.

    Can anyone tell me why all of the memo fields are missing when I try to use a Universe to connect to the database.
    If I use a query to create the Universe or insert tables the memo fields are not avalible in a Universe.
    In the designer the memo fields show up on the right side pane, but do not show on the left side pane.
    If I don't use a universe and just use a standard oledb connection the memo fields are there and I can use them.
    Help Please.
    Thanks

  • 30p with a Canon XA10 - need help with Final Cut 7 "FIELD DOMINANCE" setting and an explanation of "drop frames". Thank you!!

    I shot footage using a Canon XA10 and there are issues with the HD quality not looking as crisp as it should.  I am trying to make sure the settings in Final Cut are right.  Need help confirming what should be in "Field Dominance" --- have seen discussions about making sure it's set to "none" but I'm confused as to what to do. 
    Also someone suggested I use "drop frames" to change from 30p to 24p within Final Cut.  He couldn't explain how to do it so any input appreciated as well as any thoughts on whether this is a good option to try.

    If you're shooting 30p, field dominance should be set to none.   Since you need to use log and transfer to bring this material in to fcp, I would assume it would be set correctly automatically.  Are you sure you've set the camera properly?
    Drop frames will not change 30 p to 24p.   Dropframe timecode simply refers to the number assigned to each frame which drops an occasional number (not any frames) so the timecode duration is the actual duration, since 30p videoi is actually 29.97 frames per second which each frame assigned a timecode number. 
    This is very basic video stuff and requires some basic knowledge of video.  Wikipedia is a pretty good resource for much of this stuff plus there are lots of great resources on the web.  Look up interlaced and progressive video, 24p and 30p. 
    And as far as judging quality, you can only get an accurate view of the quality in fcp when you have a video card attached to a video monitor.  The viewer and canvas are only an approximation of what the quality is.  Minimally, set the canvas or viewer to 100% to get a better approximation of the quality. 

  • Need Some Help! Upper field dominance on progressive footage?

    I am re-posting this because I am in a time crunch and need to try and find a solution...
    I shot footage at 1080p, 30 fps. In my FCP sequence the clip properties say there is an upper field dominance...
    Upon outputting my HD footage to SD DVD it looks rather crummy, and there is a green horizontal line on the top and bottom of the screen. Is this why?
    Finally, what is the best, and fastest, way to correct this, if it is, indeed, the problem...
    Thanks for your help...

    If it is progressive, the field dom setting is irrelevant.

    Because 1080 isn't a multiple of 480 (NTSC) or 576 (PAL) lines. You have a remnant of a line left over with incomplete information. What's the intended delivery method? You certainly won't see those lines on a TV set.
    If it's intended for viewing on the web, use the crop controls in Compressor.

    Hello Kitty Galore,
    It sounds like your your photos that you take on your phone are not showing in your iPad Photo Stream.
    I would check both devices to make sure that they both have Photo Stream turned on in the iCloud settings.
    iCloud: My Photo Stream FAQ
    http://support.apple.com/kb/HT4486
    How do I turn on My Photo Stream?
    After your devices are up-to-date and you have set up your iCloud account, it’s easy to turn on My Photo Stream on any of your devices:
    iOS devices: Go to Settings > iCloud > Photos (Photo Stream in iOS 6), then turn on My Photo Stream.
    Mac: Go to System Preferences > iCloud, then select the checkbox for Photo Stream. Click the Options button and verify that the My Photo Stream checkbox is selected. Open the application you want to use with Photo Stream (iPhoto or Aperture) and confirm that My Photo Stream is turned on in that application. You can also adjust your my Photo Stream settings in iPhoto or Aperture Preferences.
    If it is enabled, then I would check to make sure Automatic Upload is enabled with this article:
    iCloud: My Photo Stream troubleshooting
    http://support.apple.com/kb/TS3989
    I imported photos to iPhoto or Aperture from my camera, but I do not see them uploaded to the My Photo Stream album, though the service is enabled.
    In iPhoto or Aperture, navigate to Preferences > Photo Stream. Ensure that Automatic Upload is enabled under My Photo Stream and that you have an active Wi-Fi or Ethernet connection.
    If Automatic Upload is not enabled, you can either enable it and import again, or manually add the newly imported photos to My Photo Stream in iPhoto or Aperture by dragging them into the My Photo Stream album in your Library.
    Cheers,

  • My 3000H will no longer connect to the internet via my cable modem - help please.

    I have 3 computers and a media server on a Linksys router with a Comcast cable modem. Everything AOK. 3 weeks ago my Lenovo 3000H shut down and rebooted for no reason. Then I began getting popups while I was on the internet saying that I needed to click on a button to make a dial-up connection. I would hit X or Cancel to make it go away. It happend more frequently and other related popups started, but I could close them and continue normally. Last weekend It happened again but I lost my connection to the internet and it would not reconnect. Now I get a big error message "Connecting through Wan Miniport(PPPOE)... Error 815: The broadband netowrk connection could not be established on your computer because the remote server is not responding. This could be caused by and invalid value for the "Service Name" field for this connection. Please contact your ISP and inquire about the correct value for this field and update it in the Connection Properties..
    I called Comcast. They don't have a clue what Error 815 is. I have changed every cable, rebooted the modem, router and all computers countless times, and reset the modem per Comcast. I have taken the router out and connected directly into the Lenovo. I have gone through every screen related to broadband connection to no avail although, being a beginner, I see screens that I have no clue what they do.I have a couple of friends and a Comcast fellow who tried to walk me through the steps they thought would restore my connectio. No luck.
    Can anyone walk me through the necessary steps to get me back to ground zero and then through the steps to reestablish my broadband connection?
    Help Please?

    Emma-
    In Safari, press on the Bookmarks icon and select History.  Then press on Clear History at the top of that menu, and see it there is any improvement.
    If not, try unplugging your WiFi router for a few seconds.  Then reset the iPad's network.  Go to Settings-General-Reset-Reset Network Settings.  You will need to reconnect the iPad to WiFi.

  • Is there any way I can see field dominance?

    I have been working on a project shot in HDV1080i50. Now I need to make a 14by9 PAL master in DigiBeta format. So I create an umcompressed PAL sequence and drop the final AIC 1080i50 version of the program into it.
    Sending the uncompressed file off to be printed to DigiBeta the bureau says the fields are reversed. My problem is that I can't find any way to see the final project to see if I have got the field dominance right. Does anyone know of a tool that would let me look at the fields in the final Uncompressed print I generate. (when I play it on the computer screen it appears to play fine since computer monitors don't do interlaced)
    thanks,

    Hi Paul,
    I've been battling these same issues, making DVD's from HDV footage, I didn't go via AIC, or out to a bureau, though.
    I found that, the uncompressed codec, when dropped into compressor, is defaulted to a different field dominance than a DV codec, even though they were both lower field dominant in the FCP sequence.
    I needed to manually change the dominance of the uncompressed movie, to lower, before I created an MPEG 2.
    Can you tell the bureau to do the same ? That your footage is correct (lower first) but that they are not treating the uncompressed file as such.
    What are they using, once you have given the file to them - compressor ?
    The shift field filter is right. But the whole thing is quite confusing, and I found the default field dominance in compressor was different, if I printed an uncompressed file out, or exported directly from FCP to compressor (which is very slow, but does not require the uncompressed file).
    However, regardless of the default compressor set, lower field dominance was correct, and the saved movie was correct for lower field.
    Hope this helps.

  • 23.98 fps advanced pulldown removel with lower field dominance??

    When ever I have captured 24p advanced material shot on a DVX100B, I have always used Final Cut Pro 5's advanced pulldown removel easy set up (2:3:3:2). I haven't run into any issues until now. When I try to capture 24p advanced material, for some reason Final Cut sets my field dominance as lower (even). I made sure I was using the capture pre-set for advanced pulldown removel (23.98) and I was. Is there any way to fix this? I tried trashing my preferences but that didn't help. This is progressive scan material so in the past Final Cut Pro has always set it to field dominance as "none". Also, because my 24pa material is having a lower field dominance and as 29.97fps, I have to render in my 24pa sequence which I have never had to do. Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated.
    PS: I'm using OSX 10.4.8 (the OS choice drop down menu hasn't been updated)
    Update: I tried capturing a short clip (about 30 seconds) and it worked fine, but when I try capturing my clip, which is about 10 mins, I get it capured at 29.97 with lower field dominance.

    Anyone ?

  • Help please problem with export

    I had some problems with safari on my imac (OS X) so I did some "repairs" I ended up deleting some keychains and I believe that is what cause the problem I'm having. However I don't know how to fix it.
    When I try to export RAW images from my Lacie rugged external hard drive to the desktop into jpg I get this error...
    "An internal error has occurred: ?:0: attempt to index field 'rootFile' (a nil value)"
    I have a deadline very soon (in about an hour) and need help please.

    Fantastic, these things always happen at the most inconvenient time!!!
    When you've got the job out of the way reboot the Mac and try the export to desktop again. If it is still broken then in Disk Utility run Repair Permissions on the Mac and La Cie.
    Who do I send the bill to???

  • Will setting sequence field dominance to "NONE" effect resolution?

    First, thanks all for the title help. It looks like i might have it licked. From this point however comes a new question.
    The only way to keep my titles clear and free from flicker is to set the imported livetype .mov file's field dominance to "none" and place it in a sequence that also has a field dominance set to "none". Great. now i need to put the title sequence on my master time line (project time line of 1hr 20min) which exists in a sequence set to the standard field dominance of "Lower" and which is made up of an hour and a half worth of clips that are all set to "lower" as well.
    My question(s) is this-
    While i understand what field dominance is doing as an upper and lower, what does none do?
    Currently the project (under the settings above) is rendering as i have changed the master sequence's FD setting to none. I haven't changed the individual clip settings to none due to my ignorance on the issue, only the title sequence has the same settings. Put another way- I'm currently rendering a sequence that has its field dominance set to "none". On this sequence, i have several clips that have their field dominance set to "lower", and one clip (my livetype title clip) has its field dominance set to "none". I've done all this in order to prevent flicker on my livetype scrolling titles.
    Q: Should i do this?
    Q: Will i suffer a loss of resolution on the clips that have a field dominance that is different from their sequence?
    Q: Will keeping them different effect the export and eventual dvd burn of the project?

    Your better off NOT making a movie from LiveType, but importing the LiveType project file and rendering in FCP. Leave your field dominance settings to match your clips. If you set to NONE, that is for Progressive scanned footage. You will lose clarity on your clips. But don't just ask and listen here... do it. Change the sequence from Lower to None and look very closely at a still frame. You will see that you have lost the "jaggies" but at the cost of edge clarity.

  • Progressive Field Dominance vs Lower Field Dominance

    I am putting a project together in FCP 5.1.4 Most assets are NTSC QT clips with lower field dominance. I have some PAL assets with Progressive field dominance. I am using a slow-PAL conversion method outlined here:
    http://www.macworld.com/article/49306/2006/02/marchcreat.html
    I just want to make sure my workflow is appropriate.
    If I use Cinema Tools to convert frame rate to 23.98 and then Compressor to change aspect ratio, and finally FCP to add frames back in to arrive at 29.97 NTSC . . .
    DO I NEED TO change the progressive field dominance to lower field dominance at ay point?
    I will ultimately be outputting to DVD which may be viewed on either computer or video monitor.

    From my rudimentary knowledge I believe that as opposed to upper or lower field dominance, the source asset was recorded as "progressive scan", which I assume means NO field dominance.
    What I do not understand is, if I import assets into a FCP sequence that has a lower field dominance, then what happens to these assets in the timeline when I export them out of FCP to either mpeg2 for inclusion in a DVDStudioPro. Or as a compressed quicktime for a streaming video on the web.
    I am concerned that progressive scan assets mixed with lower field dominance may cause weird interlacing artifacts when I ultimately playback the end project.
    Don't know whether I'm overthinking this, but want to avoid hours of work in the wrong direction.
    Help?

  • 24p DVX footage Lower Even field dominance interlacing?

    I've captured DVX 24p (not 24pA) footage. When I check Item properties for a clip FCP shows Lower (Even) under Field Dominance? Shouldn't it be Progressive or is it because 24p was captured using a 29.97 timeline in FCP as opposed to 24pA.
    I am seeing horizontal lines during motion when played back on DVD? Is that interlacing? Where did I go wrong.

    Look, you really need to wrap your head around 24p, 30p, 24pA and 30i.
    Interlace is not an ugly issue. It is a benefit. Interlacing normal on broadcast television. Your TV scans down and back up for each frame... alternating lines. When you shoot 24p on the DVX it puts it to tape where for every 3 frames of progressive it combines FOUR frames to give you TWO additional combined (interlaced) frames. So.. there are 6 sets of 5 frames per 1 second giving you 30 frames per second. If you take those 3 progressive frames by themselves 3x6 is 24 frames per second.
    You OBVIOUSLY want to final out to 29.97 or 30 fps so you'll need those extra 2x6 frames to get you to 30!! If you wanted to final out to 29.97 AND you wanted progressive frames for EVERY frame you should have shot 30p mode.
    Now... when are they ugly? When you are standing still on a frame. When are they unnecessary? When you plan to show them on a computer or progressive monitor. Remember, even when shooting progressive and playing it on a TV you will STILL have the TV doing interlaced scans... the only difference is the down scan is taken from the same point in time as the up scan.
    Plus... you don't capture TO a sequence... you capture the video and edit it IN a sequence. You can still capture the footage in 24p at 29.97 and remove those 2x6 extra frames and edit in a 23.98 sequence.
    Do some reading. It will only help.

  • Excel sumifs and the powerpivot version help please

    very new to power pivot, can you help please?
    In an excel table I was able to do the following...
    =SUMIFS([GWP],[Date],[@Date],[PolType],[@PolType])
    I have 60k rows where the above totals all GWP where the date & policy type match the individual record.  This in effect gives a subtotal, per date per policy type rather than doing it in a pivot table.  This works
    nicely however it takes for ages to update, and calculate, also has issues when I then need to pivot table it.
    As a result I'm trying to use powerpivot, as I understand it is better at dealing with these big calculations, I've tried the calculate formula, but I cannot understand how to have a rolling criteria in the field.  Like I can in my sumifs.
    Thank you in advance for your help
    Mathew

    To duplicate your original SUMIF as a Calculated Column in PowerPivot you could use one of the following:
    Using EARLIER():
    =CALCULATE(
    SUM(Table1[GWP]),
    FILTER(
    Table1,
    Table1[Date] = EARLIER(Table1[Date]) &&
    Table1[PolType] = EARLIER(Table1[PolType])
    Using ALLEXCEPT:
    =CALCULATE(
    SUM(Table1[GWP]),
    ALLEXCEPT(
    Table1,
    Table1[Date],
    Table1[PolType]
    Both should produce the same result as a Calculated Column.
    The second version with ALLEXCEPT() should also work a Measure/Calculated Field:
    ALLEXCEPT Measure:=
    CALCULATE(
    SUM(Table1[GWP]),
    ALLEXCEPT(
    Table1,
    Table1[Date],
    Table1[PolType]
    The advantage of the measure is that it should return the expected result in a pivot and filtering dynamically.
    Your final measure would then be:
    Percent GWP:=
    SUM(Table1[GWP])/[ALLEXCEPT Measure]
    In all examples, replace 'Table1' with your actual table name in Power Pivot.
