Field Rendering

I've started a project in DVPRO50, the same as the footage, and I've added a logo at the end, which is white text with a red circle, on black (a single tga). the text is fine, but the circle looks like it's field order is wrong - jaggy lines all round it. To get round this I've changed the sequence to animation codec, which fixes the problem.
Obviously I've had to shift fields on the clips to make them render the fields properly, which is fine, but my dissolves look like the clips are on the wrong field JUST WITHIN THE DISSOLVE. The clips either side are ok. Even dissolves into captions are shaky.
Can anyone explain what's going on???
Cheers
Steve

OK, 2 out of 4 answers ain't bad. I'll do my best...
The first thing I'd try is simply converting the .tga to a .png (another lossless 32-bit format, but with a little less room for error).
If that doesn't fix it, it's possible that FCP is misinterpreting your alpha channel. Ctrl-click the .tga clip in your timeline and go Item Properties > Format , and check the Alpha setting. It should probably be set to "Straight". You can try different settings by Ctrl-clicking it.
Another likely possibility is that the DV codec is simply being unkind to your graphic. If your delivery medium is DVD, you don't have to worry, however. Even though your DV-rendered graphic appears ugly in FCP, when you use "Export Using Compressor", Compressor will encode an MPEG-2 directly from the source media referenced by your timeline, bypassing FCP's DV compression.
As far as mucking around with the Animation codec and field order, I don't believe a sequence's field order is dependent upon the codec being used.
Good luck,
Zap

How to implement custom field renderer?

I'm trying to create a custom field renderer that will render certain database fields as checkboxes in HTML. I'm using the Data Web Beans/JSP approach. In my view object I have added a "Boolean" property to the attributes that represent boolean type fields (e.g., field Warranty to indicate if an asset is under warranty). I have created a CheckBoxField() class similar to the TextField() class, and call it if the attribute is a boolean, but I can't figure out how to set the custom field renderer. When the program runs, it still uses the TextField renderer. The JDeveloper online documentation doesn't say anything about it. Is there a sample program or some other documentation that implements a custom field renderer?

Hi,

Speed/Duration with Field Rendered AVI

I have field rendered AVI movies with audio. When I change the speed of the clips and then export to MPEG2, put the file on a DVD, the fields are messed up in the faster part. Is there a way to speed up clips that have fields? I understand that some quality will be lost, but I just don't want it to shake.
Thanks

thanks, turning Frame Blend Off fixed the problem.
BTW, I mentioned that it was field rendered because I work with animation and we can render with or without fields.

Field rendering issues

g5 Mac OS X (10.4.4)
I don't know what Im doing wrong, but every time I render from FCP or Motion the fields are always separated and jagged.
I'm familiar with After Effects and I used to always just turn off field rendering in the clips and in the project and it looks clear as a can be, but no matter what I do in FCP or Motion, it's always wrong again. So I bring it in to AE and turn off field rendering, and bingo! Looks great, but I shouldn't have to do this.
What am I doing wrong?
g5 Mac OS X (10.4.4)

Welcome to the discussions - how are you judging this? Default for interlaced media (like DV) is to display only one field (though both are present)... If you turn on the high quality flag in QT player, you'll see both fields. But again, this is strictly a display issue and not a render quality issue...

Vector output madness - horizontal lines that look like bad field rendering?

Hi all,
Has anyone run into this rendering problem using ONLY vector graphics? It looks like a field rendering problem but all I can find on that subject is with regard to film footage. I've tried continuous rasterization and still no joy. Using a Mac, running AE CC2014, output to Quicktime HD 1080i 25fps .mov format. These "cells" are part of a Cannon Particle Playground effect if that makes any difference at all. It was all looking perfect until the render. So frustrating.
Anyone have experience with this?? Going out of my mind...

Custum Field Renderer

I'm using JDev3.1, and I want to create my own date field renderer.
I read I should implement HTMLFieldRenderer interface, then place my class on the form using setFieldRenderer(sAttribute).
The second step is clear, what is not clear in my mind is how to implement my class in HTMLFieldRenderer.
Please anyone could write a little example?
(My real goal is to render a date field that accepts "DD/MM/YYYY" in input, but writes "YYYY-MM-DD" date on Oracle Database, otherwise I get an invalid date format error).

You may want to step back a layer and implement Steve from Oracles suggestion.
Please see the following HowTo that was posted a few weeks ago by a member of the JDev team on this subject: http://technet.oracle.com:89/ubb/Forum2/HTML/006581.html

String Field rendering as Number Field in CR Basic for VS2008

I recently migrated from CR for VS2005 to CR Basic for VS2008 and am creating my first report using CR 2008. The SQL result set returns rows containing strings (nvarchar), integers and decimal (7,2) fields.
The report is getting all rows in the result set, but the string fields as defined in the SQL are 1) rendering in the report as numbers, and 2) showing as empty. The non-string fields render fine. I tried reformatting the report field to string, but only the Number tab appears in the formatting dialog. I also tried converting the SQL field result into an unbound string field, as well as tried the ToText function, but the results were the same. I suspect the field appears empty because of the formatting issue.
How can I get CR Basic for VS2008 to render a string (nvarchar) field as a string?

Try placing the field inside a formula field or inside a text field. That should cause the field to be shown no matter what type of data it is. If the data is still not showing, then perhaps it is not being returned properly.
Things to check:
-Are you connecting directly to the tables - or are you connecting to a stored procedure? If you are connecting to a stored procedure and you are using Temp Tables, then make sure you add the line "SETNOCOUNT ON" to your stored proc.
-Run SQL profiler - see what query is being made, then try running that exact same query through the SQL admin console (Or some other utility that lets you run SQL queries)
Thanks

What is Field Rendering?

I read it in the Motion Manual pg 1156, But didn't really understand it.
It said something like; with it turned on it renders individual fields instead of whole frames.
I know with it off my project plays a lot faster, but what does it mean about individual fields and whole frames?

Marco,
In most TV output there are two fields to every frame - each second is split up into 60 (NTSC) or 50 (PAL) different pieces of time. Imagine something fast like football,the players or ball will travel in that 60th, so thats why you get a 'shudder' when paused on a single frame as you are seeing two slightly different pieces of time.
Now translate that to graphics. If you have fast moving items and render in 'Frame' mode, you will only get 30 or 25 different moments in time as opposed to 60 or 50 in 'Field' mode. The end result is your graphics will have smoother movement when played back on a normal interlaced (2 fields per frame) TV/monitor.
Hope that helps
Peter

2 Bugs in PDF Form Field Rendering

Both of these bugs appear when "Show border hover color for fields" is on.
In XObject streams used for Text Widget Annotation appearences the BMC operator does not properly respect whitespace. To reproduce:
Create a fillable form field with a text widget annotation.
Fill in text in the field, save the document
Edit the content stream of the appearance stream used for the widget so that there are two spaces between /Tx and BMC instead of 1. Be sure to shorten the content stream by 1 byte (shorten a string by a byte or remove a leading 0 in a decimal) when making the change so as not to change offsets. Save the file.
Open the file in Acrobat and note the text doesn't appear. Turn "Show border hover color for fields" off and the text appears.
In XObject streams used fo all WidgetAnnotations, the general color operators, CS, cs, SC, and sc are not respected.
Create a fillable form field that uses /DeviceGray SC 0 sc to set the text color (this can be done by create a text field and filling it with a lot of repeating non-white space characters and then replacing the 0 g with /DeviceGray 0 sc then shortening the text string to keep the stream length the same. Save the file.
When the file is opened in Acrobat, the field will appear blank until "Show border hover color for fields" is turned off.
An example file is here.
This file has several fields, two which are prefilled. The first field contains filled in text but does not show (it appears when you turn off "Show border..."). The second is visible.
By editing the raw data, the second field (object 13 0) can be changed to exhibit both bugs. To exhibit the BMC bug, insert a second space between /Tx and BMC and remove a space elsewhere. The exhibit the second bug (after restoring BMC), change both "0 g" and "1 g" with "/DeviceGray cs 1 sc" and "/DeviceGray cs 0 sc" respectively (there is enough blank spaces to do that).

Struts-JSP with custom field rendering

If I have an ADF/JSP in a struts framework and I have built some data pages with a default set of entity attributes being displayed, is there any JSTL/struts tags that can let the application at runtime decide if a column/field should be displayed?
kind of like render=false for uix I guess?

the attributes are displayed using c:out tags from jstl, so you could put the JSTL <c:if> or <c:when> tags around it to make the display of the attribute conditional.
Hope this helps,

Popup fields rendered behind video player applet

Hi,
We are embedding a video player using Windows media player. The code is like:
<object id="MediaPlayer4" width="302"
height="165"
classid="CLSID:22D6f312-B0F6-11D0-94AB-0080C74C7E95"
standby="Loading Windows Media Player components..."
type="application/x-oleobject"
codebase="http://activex.microsoft.com/activex/controls/mplayer/en/nsmp2inf.cab#Version=6,4,7,1112"
style="margin:11.0px;">
<param name="filename"
value="${pageFlowScope.newAssetBean.asset_preview_url}"/>
<param name="Showcontrols" value="True"/>
<param name="autoplay" value="false"/>
<param name="autoStart" value="0"/>
<embed type="application/x-mplayer2"
src="${pageFlowScope.newAssetBean.asset_preview_url}"
width="302" height="165"
autostart="false"></embed>
</object>
Once a popup is shown above this player, the fields in the popup get behind the embedded player.
How do we fix this?

Hi,
not knowing your JDeveloper version, there is known bug for 11g R2 --> bug 13492597. It seems that this is fixed in a backport for 11.1.1.6

How to clear the form fields which are not rendered

I have a creation form. There is a document_type list set up as a partial triger. When user change the document type, only the filed related to that document type will be rendered. This caused a problem when we need to clear the form . The input in the field which is not render won't be cleared when reset button is pressed. Can anybody give a sugestion on how to handle this?
I tried to use the following function to clear the fields. It does not work since it get the list value before the list value change and clear the fields after the new field rendered.

Hi,
The easiest way to modify the screens in the Std transactions using ITS is to modify the ITS templates corresponding to that transaction.
E.g In you case,there will be a ITS service corresponding to the ESS transaction.This ITS service will have number of HTML templates which will actually correspond to the diffrent screens in the Trascn.What you need to do is find out the HTML template in the ITS service which corresponds to the screen(which you want to modify) in the STd transacn.To do this ,the easiest way is to right click on that Web page and say VIEW SOURCE.It will show you a HTML code with the ITS service name and the template which is being used for that particular screen.
So after you find out the correct HTML template to be modified,you can simply hide the fields by putting the HTML code lines in between the symbols

Work Manager 6.1 New field - Read only

Hi,
I'm attempting to add a new field for CATS time posting in Work Manager 6.1, when I add the field and run the WPF client the field is always rendered as read-only - I'm expecting it to be an input field.
I've done the following
Added a new property to CATSRecord Object
Added the same property to the transaction CATSRecordAdd - linking to the CATSRecord object property
Added a new field on the CATSRecordAdd_Detail_Windows linked to the CATSRecordAdd transaction - I set the edit type as Decimal Number, there are no rules associated with it.
When I publish and run the application I can see the field on the screen, but the field is read only?
I checked and did the same process in Work Manager 5.3 (Agentry 6) in it's SDK and as expected the field rendered as input as expected.
I'm wondering why this does not render as an input field in Work Manager 6.1 - I further checked by simply selecting another existing field on the CATSRecord object (I selected the Counter property) and that rendered as input.
I'm running..
Work manager 6.1
Eclipse 4.2.2 Plugin 7.0.3.605
SMP3.0 SP03
I know SMP3.0 SP04 and SDK SP05 are due tomorrow so wondering if those patches will have any effect?
Thanks
Stu

Looks like my problem was related to the Crew Management module which I'd activated - that uses CrewCATSRecord not CATSRecord object. Modifying/adding new properties to that it now all good...

Motion and Field Order Stupidness

I'll try not to rant too much.
But what is up with Motion and working with DV NTSC video with fields? I have had nothing but headaches. I am a long time After Effects user, and I was glad to get Motion 2 (2.1.2), but I've just spent the last hour and half trying to get it to render DV NTSC video correctly without it getting field jitter on a project that needed to be over-nighted to go on the air. And it still doesn't look totally correct. (I'm not a happy camper)
Here's the deal, I took DV captured footage from FCP using the standard DV/DVCPRO - NTSC preset I've used forever. That footage was imported into a Motion project that was using its own NTSC DV project preset (all lower fields -even). But every time I'd play it back in Motion, or render it out (still using the NTSC DV render preset), I get serious field jitter on DV output.
Eventually I found under the Inspector-Media tabs that the footage was imported as Field Order- None (why I have not a clue). So I changed all the footage to Lower (even). That worked on any footage where size, rotation, or position was not changed. If any of those attributes was changed I get the field order jitter. It seems to me that Motion is not able to render out field ordered video properly and the quality looks poor or jittery.
Now that might seem hasty to say that, but I've been doing the same thing in AE for years, never having to change the imported field order to get it to look right and I have always captured, imported, work with projects and rendered using the QT DV/DVCPRO - NTSC presets.
Can someone help me because I can not believe I've had to change so many setting to try to get video to look right from Motion while using the same settings during the entire workflow.
Thanks, and sorry for the rant.

Hey, thanks for the replys.
[....you might want to try using the animation codec..millions of colors...]
I gave that a shot this morning, and I'm having the same problem. See what's going on now is after changing the Field Order to even for the footage media, all of it looks decent except for the ones on an angle, croped or resized and I see this in both Motion's preview and the final render when I play it back in FCP. So as per your suggestion I rendered with the animation codec (filed rendering) and it still has it. Its just odd to me that it does that, like I said before I've worked in the DV/DVCPRO - NTSC codec with FCP and AE for years with no quality degrade. The reason I have always do that is that's what I capture to and that what my FCP project is so to keep it all consistant. BTW, this is going network and cable, no different than I usually do.
[...are you enabling field rendering in the Canvas or in the export settings?]
Yes I am, sorry, I should have pointed that out. I have done combinations of different QT codecs with and without field rendering turned on to see different results. None of course resolves this issue.

Query Panel field extends beyond right margin

I've a .jspx with a Query Panel. The problem is that the search field for a 500-character string attribute extends beyond the right margin; so if a user enters a long search criterion, the user can never see the entire criterion.
Is there a way to force such fields to be multi-line; in other words, to be the functional equivalent of an af:inputText with the Rows attribute set to greater than 1? I've tried setting various combos of af:query attributes, but to no effect, so would appreciate some advice:
Here is the relevant part of the page source:

Versions: JDeveloper 11.1.1.4, ADF Business Components 11.1.1.59.23. Same issue occurs in both Firefox 3.n and IE 8.n.
Thanks!

Thanks Suresh. That solves the most important part of the question, it makes for a huge improvement.
What i am also wondering is whether on a query panel the search field can be made to display as 'multi-line'. for example, a Display Width of 175 keeps the entire search field visible sans extending beyond the right margin. However, if the user has a search string of more than 175 chars - which could happen in our use case - the user still has to 'scroll' to see the remaining characters (this is a 500-char attribute). So I am wondering if ADF provides the ability to make the search text box display as multi-line.
After following your suggestion i also tried settting the Display Height control hint to 4. But the field rendered in the browser as a 1-row field.
