Field Options on more than one clip?

Im making a video and it now has 100's of seprate clips in it. Some have been set to deinterlace and some havnt. I hear its better to deinterlace with a plugin. Is there a way to select all my clips and get into field options to turn off all deinterlacing at once?
OR
whats teh best solution without having to go though all my clips individualy?

Don't know... I've never tried it, but I have no reason to think it would be appreciably better than anything else I've seen Premiere do. Likely, what's happening is that you are (is essence) "chopping" the vertical resolution from 1080 -> 540, then scaling it back up to 720. Since Premiere is using a fairly soft scaling method (single-tap Gaussian resizing, I think??) this is probably hiding much of the artifacting that is occurring.
Ann -- since you are already familiar with my processes and you know how to use DebugMode FrameServer and you have my hd2sd() pacakge, try an AviSynth script like this to pre-process your 1080i timeline for 720p output:
(frameserve from Premiere in YUY2 colorspace)
AviSource("signpost.avi")
AssumeTFF()
# For better quality (but slower) deinterlacing, set DeintMethod=1
ConditionalSmoothBob(DeintMethod=2)
SelectEven()
Spline36Resize(1280, 720)
ConvertToRGB32(matrix="rec709", interlaced=false)
Compress this as a Lagarith AVI and import than into a Premiere 1280x720 @ 30p (or 25p) timeline and export to .wmv (or use another tool, such as Microsoft's standalone Windows Media Converter to create the output)
Of course, there are many other options for how to handle all of this, but this a good place to start.

Copy more than one clip at a time from iPhoto to iMovie?? Please help!

Is it possible to copy more than one clip at a time from iPhoto to iMovie? I can't find a way to select/copy more than one.

OK you can leave them in iPhoto and access them from the iMovie Event for iPhoto.
If you prefer to move them to a regular iMovie Event, you can do the following.
1) right-click on one of the iPhoto clips and select "Reveal in Finder". This will open a finder window showing the clips in the iPhoto Library.
2) In a different Finder window, create a folder to hold your event in iMovie. If you are using an internal drive, create a folder using your desired Event Name under the Movies/iMovie Events Folder.
Note: If you are using an external drive, create a Folder called iMovie Events at the top level of the external drive. Then create the (Event Name) folder under this. The external drive must be formatted as MacOS Extended (journaled) for this to work.
3) Select all the clips in the iPhoto finder window that are part of this event and Move them to the Movies/iMovie Event/(Event Name) folder.
4) After you have done this for all the Events, open iMovie and let it generate thumbnails. This may take a while.

Selecting/importing more than one clip from camcorder using check boxes

Hi.
I've just bought a new camcorder (SD Card) based. I used to use Mini DV tapes.
Now when I import into iMovie9 I am able to select which clips I import. I always choose manual import because I like to save different clips into different topics.
I am able to uncheck all the clips and individually select each one I want to import but I'm baffled about how to select more than one clip at a time and then check the import box. e.g. select clips 3 to 15 and then having to check the box once instead of checking ever box for each clip. There must be something like hold shift down while selecting but I've not managed to work it out yet!
Any help is appreciated.
Thanks
Paul

Hi Paul,
I import clips as you do - by manually ticking the box in each clip. Like you, I haven't figured out a way to select a group of clips in one go - that would be very handy! Sorry I can't help - I'll be interested to see what answers you get.

Voiceover over more than one clip

I am trying to make a voiceover that spand more than one clip however the tool only seems to let me speak for the length of the actual clip rather than rolling on to the next clip and so on.
Am i trying to do something i Movie cant do or is there a trick i am missing

You need to put the multiple clips on a higher track and extend them so that handles exist. Then nest, and shorten the nest to fit into the space allotted. Then apply dissolve.
Nest will end where it ended when you created it. So make it long (including 'handles'), then place into its space in the timeline, then apply dissolve---or leave it on a higher track and apply dissolve there.

How to add more than one clip to a drop zone? New guy

Hey all, I'm new to DVD studio and I'm trying to fiqure out how to add more than one clip to a Template drop zone. I'm using a 6 button template. I've named each button .. Football, Baseball, Hockey ...etc.
How can put in MORE THAN ONE CLIP in the Football track/drop zone. So when someone clicks on Football they can see 3 examples.
Do I need to create something to link to that Football button?
Any replies appreciated

You can edit the segments to be used in FCP or Motion so that the asset drop in has three examples
Another way (if you want) is to make the entire menu outside of DVD SP so that the background layer is an m2v and the items are revealed/masked to some degree
Take a look towards the bottom of this thread http://discussions.apple.com/thread.jspa?messageID=2951183&#2951183 where I discuss http://www.dvdstepbystep.com/Overmovies.zip
Note that you can also use a basic overlay to do this. The overlay would be just solid black instead of the arrows/circles things I use in that example.
For instance make the text one color and the box over the movie another (You can make it blue and the box red lets say) Draw a region over both for the button. Map blue for highlights/transparencies for normall/selected/activated and the same for the Box

Grouping on fields that have more than one value entered. Please need help fast!!!

Post Author: DennisC
CA Forum: General
I am creating a report that is to be grouped on a particular field that can have more than one entry. My user said they did not care how I did it but to only count the record one time. The field that is selected is a dropdown on an form that is in Alpha order. So the entries always appear in the the field in alpha order. This is for use as an example: Record 1 has a value of CAT in the field, Record 2 has a value of CAT, DOG in the field and Record 3 has a value of CAT, DOG, HORSE in the field. I get 3 separate groupings for the 3 records.
Group = CAT
      Then the detail information appears here
Group = CAT, DOG
      Then the detail information appears here
Group = CAT,DOG,HORSE
      Then the detail information appears here
What is would like to see using this example is one group for CAT with all 3 records appearing under it and ignore the other two. This way there would all be getting counted but the report would look a little more streamlined.
Group = CAT
      record 1 detail information
      record 2 detail information
      record 3 detail information
thanks in advanced for any help!!!!

I am trying resolve the same/similar issue in Crystal Reports 10. For example, on a table there is a column called X with values Xsub1, Xsub2, Xsub3, etc. The user can select a parameter that includes Xsub2 and Xsub4. If this is selected 2 reports are generated (one for Xsub2 and Xsub4). What we really want is one report with the combined information for Xsub2 and Xsub4. How is (or is it) possible to do this in Crystal Reports 10? FYI - When the report was initially created the main body of the report was placed in the Group Footer so if the Group Footer is suppressed the content of the report is suppressed, too.
Thanks

Color correcting more than one clip at a time

Perhaps I am missing something very elementary here... but here is my situation. I have three camera angles, each of the same concert. They are synced and ready to go, each on a separate track. Each needs color correction. I have found the color correction for each that I want. Before I slice up my clips I can very easily color correct each line separately, as the color correction applies to the whole clip. However, this takes about an hour to render because it is so much material. But since I am slicing up each track anyway to form a composite track, wouldn't it make more sense for me to slice up each track as I see fit, delete the unwanted footage, and then color correct each line before I drag them all into one composite track? That way, the color correction would just be applied to the clips that I am using, presumably taking about 1/3 the time to render. Know what I mean? So here is the question: can I select all of the clips on one line and THEN color correct just those? Or do I have to select each little clip and type in the boatload of numbers into the numeric color correction. Or is there another way all together. (Like, is there a way to SAVE the color correction values that I want and call them like "camera one" "camera two" etc... and then just apply those settings to the clips I want?)
With my sound editing program I have presets for this concert. I am able to take each piece, open it up and apply the same equalization, amplification, reverb, etc. that I did for all of the others, thus making them all sound the same. I'm sure FCE has this option for video, doesn't it?
I have 10 more pieces to do and by far this was the most time consuming part of the job. So any help would be most appreciated!
Much thanks!

Apply the color correction to one clip and adjust as needed. Copy the clip. Select all other clips that you want to apply the filter with those settings to. Right-click on one and select Paste Attributes/Filters.

How to apply effect to more than one clip at once

Is there a way to select a number of clips and apply an effect (like three-way color correction) to all clips at once? Right now I can only double-click on one clip and touch up one at a time.
On a similar note, my photo editing software has something called "tone curve adjustment" which is the best device I've used for adding light to a dark image without losing integrity and quality. Any idea what the closest thing to that would be in FCP? Adding brightness flattens out the image and makes it milky and grainy. Could it be that I should avoid whites and middles and concentrate on black and saturation?
Thanks.

Question 1:
Copy the clip with the color correction.
Select all the target clips.
Control-click on the selected clips and choose "Paste Attributes".
In dialog box, select "Audio Filters"
If you want to keep working the CC later,
it might be easier to nest the clips.
Option-double-click on the nested clips
and apply global effects to all of them at once.
Question 2:
This is something like Photoshop's Curves with the menu set to RGB?
Working with dark footage, I often use the Color Corrector 3-Way
and boost the Mids level a bit. If that pushes the Whites too much,
pull them down.
I often "crush the blacks" by using a second 3-way, using Limit Effect
with Luma only, selecting only the darkest parts of the image,
and pulling the Blacks down to minimum. That makes the whole image
more dramtic, and reduces the effect of noise when you compress it
for DVD or web delivery.

Selecting more than one clip at a time?

I can't seem to shift-click multiple clips to add the same transition between them. Sure I can do it one at a time, but I've got 185 photos and I want to edit the transitions. iMovie HD would let me click a clip and then ctrl-click to select similar. This feature is absolutely essential for editing slideshows. Am I missing something or is this not possible?
And has anyone figured out how to make a clip last less than one second?

I would like to be able to do this, as well. It seems BASIC to be able to select ALL clips/photos. HOW???

Is it possible to add tape name/reel name/disk label/etc on more than one clip at a time?

Just coming to grips with some potential media management nightmares and want to find out whether I'm just missing something in the literature. Using Adobe Premiere Pro CC is there any way to modify tape name/reel name/disk label/card number? In both Final Cut Pro and Avid this is pretty straight forward and you can do this on multiple clips, or one at a time. However, I've not seen an easy way of doing this in Premiere.
To be honest, I haven't seen any way of identifying roll/card name within Premiere. It may not be part of everyone's workflow, but it is a rather crucial step for ours, and we're not able to do this at the moment which is pretty frustrating.
Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated. I suppose if we've got to do them one at a time it'll be a nice, quiet afternoon hitting copy and paste for someone!
Thanks in advance.
Amy

so strange premiere cant read/import other metadata, after they tout they ready for the big time... you can enter multiple values for some metadata fields, such as tape name. if you highlight multiple clips in the project bin and have metadata panel open, you can then type in your comments/data in the metadata panel, and it will write it to all the highlighted clips. you can also right click the columns in the project bin panel to choose which metadata fields you want, create new metadata fields, and save the setup for other projects...

How to allow input text field to accept more than one "specific" answer.

Hi,
I am working for something and trying to create a type-box-based quiz for one of my classes, where an input text field can change it's border color if 2 or more words from an accepted word list is inputed.
For example, Say a list has possible answers: R,G, B, Y for the question "Name 2 colors".
I want to create an input text box where the border of the box will change color if any 2 letters (in the above list) are entered into it.
I've tried setting up a variable NumberSuccesses and setting it so that the number increases by 1 for each letter entered e.g.
if (Ex.text == "R");
NumSuc = NumSuc +1; // the var NumSuc has already been defined earlier in the code
If (Ex.text ''G")
NumSuc = NumSuc + 1
if (NumSuc == 2)
Ex.borderColor = 0x0000FF
but that didn't work.. and I tried doing it with another function which I use for multiple input boxes like if there were boxes A, B, C. I could set up a general function where if the correct answers were entered into A, B, an C respectively, only then will say, a checkmark show up using a
EnableCheckmark (); type function. Not sure how to do it if it's the same text input box though. Also just tried adding it into the same function re.
If (Ex.text == "R" + "G")
Ex.borderColor = 0x0000FF
.. Does anyone know what else I can do?

The solution of Nishu with Evaluation Logic:
//These Are the Possible Answers
var solutions:Array = new Array("A","B","C","D");
function testInput(_inputText:String):Boolean
    //the delimiter could also be a comma, here it is a space
    var inputStringArray:Array = _inputText.split(" ");
    var counter:Number = 0;
    for (var i:int=0; i<inputStringArray.length; i++)
        for (var j:int=0; j<solutions.length; j++)
            if (inputStringArray[i]== solutions[j])
                counter++;
    if (counter >=2)
        trace("true");
        return true;
    else
        trace("false");
        return false;
//Textfield with name input_txt on stage
input_txt.addEventListener(TextEvent.TEXT_INPUT, answerTxtInp);
// The function that will be called by the event listener
function answerTxtInp(txtEvent:TextEvent):void
     // depending on the possible answers of characters, change the border color
     if(testInput(input_txt.text)){
         input_txt.borderColor = 0xFF0000;
     else{
         input_txt.borderColor = 0x000000;

How to Create Field Catalogs (More than one Source Table)

Hi Data Archiving Experts,
Could you please help me how to create the Field Catalogs (More than one Source Table). If any one is having example that will help.
My scenario:
Currently we are archiving on CRM Data archiving project. We are facing one issue on creating field catalog with more than one source table.
Ex: ST -- BP1
BP2
BP3
ST info store in one table and BP1 -- BP 3 info sotre in another table. with current field catalog we are getting ST -- BP1. Our requirment is we need to show the ST -- BP3 How we can achive this.
Regards,
Srini

Hi,
I don't think its possible to create fieldcatalog for different tables,
but if you want to do so create a dummy table which has all the fields which you want in fieldcatalog.
populate the data from different table to that dummy table
then create fieldcatalog for that table and pass it in the function module...

Siddarth

More than one Plant in Customer Material record

In Customer Material Info record I want a option of more than one plant. Right now I can enter only one plant in customer material info record. What can I do to have a option of more than one plant in customer material info record.
Regards,
Kumar

hello, friend.
as i understand, you would want options for more than one plant (to choose from) and not to restrict the number of choices.
for practical reasons, you can only enter 1 (standard) plant in the customer-material info record. nevertheless, you can enter a different plant in the customer master, and another plant in the material master.
when you process the sales order, you can change the plant to any other choices, even those not included in the customer-material or customer master data, as long as these plant choices and your customer are assigned the same distribution channel. of course, your material should also be extended to these plants.
i hope this helped, even if a little.
regards.

Hi
I still think I need an Object parent child linkage diagram on this to get my head around it.
It seems that things are reversed so that it is Object:value. Kind of confusing to see movie:movie.
var letter:Object = getLetterObject(_text.charAt(i));
letter holds the following objects
MovieClip:Movie
TextField:field
widthInDegrees:0 // What is this. What type is a widthInDegrees
fieldWidth:field.width // Same as above
fieldHeight:field.height // Same as above
And to cap it all, back in the calling function draw()
letter.stepDegrees = _totalAngle / numOfLetters; // What is stepDegrees a property of? MovieClip,TextField,widthInDegrees,fieldWidth or fieldHeight
I can understand the first two but not the last three
For example widthInDegrees is not mentioned anywhere in the code. and
letter.stepDegrees // implies that stepDegrees is a property of Object:letter.
Do you throw a property and value blindly at the letter object and let flash work out which object it is a property of?
MovieClip & TextField do not have this property. Searched the web for this information. We need an equivelent of MSDN.
