Fit to fill with 1 frame length subclips

I have 93 single frame subclips that i need to fill 3 second length slugs with.
when i use fit to fill it only fills the first frame of each slug but not the entire slug.
Or how do I make the single frame subclips stretch to 3 second length clips

Ok I time remapped all 93 clips to 3 seconds and then fit to fill worked like a charm... anyway to time remap multiple clips at the same time?

Fit to fill with multiple clips

Created a short stop frame animation sequence, but now I want to use "fit to fill" to have it work with the audio. When I try to use "fit to fill" I get invalid edit. So then I tried copying the sequence, putting in the timeline and used shiftZ. Still not working. Any suggestions?

Fit To Fill is a 4 point edit. This means that you must have an In & Out point set on your timeline, as well as an In & Out Point set on your source clip.

Images function, does not provide photos beyond page 1, after that, the pages are filled with blank frames. ?

A few days ago, it would shoot out 7 pages or more of photos.
Then I would customize my search from there. One time, I did something that restored it to normal, but that never returned either.

Fit to Fill not working with HD footage in a DV Pal timeline...

I'm editing some HD anamorphic footage (Apple Intermediate Codec, 1440x1080, 29.97fps) into a DV Pal timeline (720x576, 25fps).
When I try to use Fit to Fill to change the speed of the footage and make it fit an exact part of the soundtrack, I either get a still frame after rendering, or completely the wrong part of the clip (ie not the part I selected using In and Out in the Browser), and with no speed change.
The same thing happens if I try using Apple-J to change the speed...
Does anybody have an idea what I'm getting wrong? I'm in FCE HD 3.5.1
Thankyou!

I suspect there's a problem with the frame rate mixing. I'd suggest using Nattress standards conversion software to convert one to whatever frame rate you want to work in. FCE should not be used for standards conversion.

I made a card using the iPhoto and when I click to buy it, it says that I did not fill all the frames with pictures, even though I did and have checked multiple times. Please help, it's for Mother's Day.

Fit to fill edits not working correctly

When I do a fit to fill edit about 2/3 of the clip is slowed or speeded as required then it stops with the last 1/3 taken up by a freeze frame based on the frame where the clip has stopped. Any ideas?
Thanks Henry

Tom
Thanks for writing back. I think I am begining to get it! It is about using files that have a coherrent set of characteristics for the editor to work with. I have now actually managed to make some pal files function on fit to fill properly. The clips that I am working with were originaly recorded with these characteristics:
File type: AVI. Recorded with NSTC setting on camera. 30fps. 1.3mb/s pixel aspect square. Field dominance none. Alpha None / ignore.Composite normal. Audio 1 mono. Audio rate 8.0 Khz.Audio format 32 bit floating point. (I do not want to use the audio.)
Can you please tell me what is the best FCE setup for this type of file and or what does the file need to become to work well in the FCE envronment.
Whilst the FCE handbook is very good about how to do things in the program it is vague about what filetypes function well. I feel like I have been blundering around in the dark.
Best Henry

Fit to Fill probs

Hi - I'm sure this is a basic problem, probably to do with the souce clip, but I'm a bit stuck with fit to fill.
I double click my clip in the timeline, having marked my relevant in and out points, but as soon as I try to drag the clip from the viewer to the canvas, rather than get the edit options, the clip in the canvas also moves across.
What am I doing wrong here?
Thanks...
Dave

You shouldn't double-click on the clip in the timeline... this brings it to the viewer, sure, but it keeps a direct link, so any moving of IN and OUT points actually affects the clip on the timeline immediatly.
Rather than double-clicking, place the playhead on the clip you want to alter, and press F (match frame) this brings the clip (with the IN and OUT points marked) into the viewer, but it references the master clip in the browser, not the clip on the timeline. You can then alter the IN and OUTs, and hopefully get the result you require.

Does any understand "interpretation rules.txt" so my 704x576 pixels fill a 720x576 frame?

This is my LAST attempt before ditching Premiere Elements 8 Trial. I have really tried hard to make it work.
All I want to do is drag my clips onto the timeline and have them corretly fill the 720x576 frame (PAL widescreen), ready to export to DVD (PAL) when ready.
Adobe explains a little on how to go about fixing it, but I can't get it to work:
http://help.adobe.com/en_US/PremiereElements/8.0/Win/Using/WS09e4b3c48f3a79fc19b622510385d 4355c-7d7d.html
I tried to add to "interpretation rules.txt": 704, 576, *, *, * = 768/720, *, *, *
I also tried: 704, 576, *, *, * = 768/702, *, *, *
When I drag my 704x576 footage to the timeline I'm still asked, "Fix quality problems in clips", but I'm expecting it to automatically display the clip to fit the 720x576 frame now that the rule has been added.
- If I say YES the video is clipped at the top & bottom and isn't so nice.
- If I say NO I get black borders at the sides and the aspect is wrong.
If I use another package Womble MPEG, it all appears the correct aspect, exports to DVD and plays without any settings. I want to use Premiere!!!!
PLEASE HELP!

Fill with blanks(spaces) a VARCHAR2 type

Thanks in advance,
I have a VARCHAR2 type rtesta's var of length x(100 char)
how i can fill(write) it without create a other varchar2 var that it'll be only filled with blanks(spaces). e.g
rtesta := ' PC'||fil1||'xxx||fill2....
where fil1 = say 10 spaces.. fill2 = 63 spaces and so on
I would like something as
rtesta := ' PC'|| RPAD(null,10)||'xxx||RPAD(null,63) ...
but.... Oracle treats an empty string as null. And nulls are always a bit special within Oracle. Particularly, rpad('', n) and lpad('', n) returns null.
Exists a built in for my problem?
Thanks

Macbook Pro 13" screen fills with snow.

Any help would be appreciated here.
My wife's 13" Macbook Pro is experiences a curious problem. While she is working on it, the screen will just fill with snow. It looks like an old analog TV tuned in between channels. This is the LCD dispaly of the Macbook, not an external monitor. We've had the computer from new, and have yet to experience any problems.
It is an Intel I5, 2.3MHz, 4GB DDR3 RAM, Intel HD 3000 graphics, 384MB, SATA HD, running Mac OS X Lion 10.7.5 on a 13" screen, resolution 1280x800.
She has to shut down the computer and re-start it to continue using it. Sometimes, she has to let it sit for a while in order to get it to restart. I'm thinking it could be an overheating issue in the chipset, or perhaps a memory or hard drive problem, but I'm not sure. When she last restarted, the system reported this message:

robertofrombc,
does your wife’s 13-inch Early 2011 MacBook Pro feel warmer than usual, or is its fan running more loudly than usual, when the screen starts displaying its snow?
If you still have the model-specific grey installation DVDs that originally came with this MacBook Pro, you could run the Apple Hardware Test that is on the one labelled “Applications Install DVD”, to see if its extended hardware test can detect anything amiss with the hardware.

How can I edit multiple clips with different frame rates on the same timeline

how can I edit multiple clips with different frame rates on the same timeline

You do not want to edit material from different frame rates on one timeline. You CAN do this, but it is a very bad idea - and this is why.
Once you establish the sequence frame rate - lets say it is PAL material at 25fps, any material that you drop into the sequence other than 25 fps will have to be changed to play at 25 fps. If the material you add is NTSC (29.97), FCP will DROP 5 frames per sec to bring the frame rate down to 25 fps. Which 5 get thrown away? Every 6th one. This yields a funky cadence that becomes even more complex as as there are also interlaced fields (DV/NTSC is an interlaced format). Oh, and by the way, the image sizes are different as well. DV/PAL has 576 lines of resolution and DV/NTSC has 480. FCP has to scale up the NTSC to fit the PAL frame.
You do not want FCP adjusting these things on the fly. You want to do a thoughtful (and time consuming) conversion so that you end up with all your material in one format with the best possible image from the conversion process. Compressor can do an adequate job with Frame Controls turned on. The Natress Standards Conversion FCP plugin is another way to go. A third option is to find a post house that can do the conversion for you using a hardware based process.
The good news is, once everything is in the same format, editing it will be painless and the output process very quick.
Whatever frame rate/ image size you select, I'd suggest using ProRes for the codec. It is 4:2:2 color and will withstand color correction and composting with much more grace than any variant of DV based codecs.
Have fun.

Text filled with objects

Illustrator
can anybody help me in this?
let say we need some text like " CIRCLE" and it should be filled with small circles (Like below) but not clipping mask mean the object should not flash cut on the edge of characters.
is there any effect, or we need to do it manually?

Sajid,
Here is a(nother) way to get a nice and orderly distribution of dots (that do not touch one another). It may be further optimized, beyond what is shown.
You may (specifics applying to an S):
1) Create the lettershape or Type>Create Outlines from an existing live Type letter;
2) If needed (starting with live Type), change from Fill to Stroke and delete the end segments;
3) If needed (starting with live Type), Ungroup and Object>Compound Path Release and possibly reverse either path so both have the same direction, see below;
With only the outer paths (which should have matching Anchor Points),
4) Object>Blend>Options, with Specified Steps set to the number of inner paths (2 in the case shown), and Orientation>Align to path;
5) Object>Blend>Make
6) In the Stroke palette, set the Stroke Weight to the desired dot thickness, set Cap>Round Cap, and tick Dashed Line with Dash = 0 and Gap = Stroke Weight+desired gap between dots, corresponding to the gap between the rows of dots;
7) If needed, adjust the Dashes to fit, inbuilt (in the options) in the newest version, in older versions, you may use the free Adjust Dashes script avaialble here:
http://park12.wakwak.com/~shp/lc/et/en_aics_script.html
Below is shown an S in Helvetica Bold at 144pt, with Stroke Weight = 12pt and Gap = 15pt (before adjustment). It may be further optimized.
To reverse the direction of a path, you may select the path and:
A) Object>Compound Path>Make;
B) In the Attributes palette tick Reverse Path Direction On;
C) Object>Compound Path>Release.
You can see whether it is needed when you make the blend; if it is messy, reverse either path.
You can also see the path directions by Effect>Stylize>Add Arrowheads; they should be at the same end.

Sqlldr - filler columns exceeds maximum length

Hi All,
DB version : 10.2.0.1.0
We are getting a CSV file with 127 fields. We require to load first 9 fields and the 127th field using SQLLDR. What is the best way to specify this in Control file?
Currently we are giving like
   C10 filler,
   C11 filler,
   C127 filler,
   column_name
   1. Is there any other better approach available?
2. We are gettiing issues when, filler columns exceeds maximum length. We tried to give like
              c10 char(4000) filler ,
   But it gives sybtax error.What is the work around for this?
Thanks in advance,
Jeneesh
Please note that using EXTERNAL TABLEs or other methods is not feasible for us.

Hi jeneesh,
Did you try,
c10 filler char(4000)from docs
The syntax for a filler field is same as that for a column-based field, except that a filler field's name is followed by FILLER.Best regards
Peter

What's the deal with Drop-Frame / Non-Drop-Frame Timecode?

I'm having trouble with 30fps Drop-Frame and 30fps Non-Drop-Frame timecode formats! I thought 29.97fps means 30fps Drop-Frame, but now I'm all confused.
I'm working with DSLR footage filmed with a frame rate of 29.97. For example, this one clip is listed as (in Project panel)
Media Start: 11:16:11:23
Media End: 11:22:42:22
Duration: 00:06:31:00
Frame Rate: 29.97fps
If I open this clip directly in Source Monitor, the timecode display (yellow, on lower left corner) says 11:16:11:23 at the beginning and 11:22:42:23 at the end. OK. But if I right-click on the timecode display, the pop-up indicates "Non-Drop-Frame"(!!). If I manually change that to "Drop-Frame", the start and end timecode would become 11:16:52:11 and 11:23:23:23, and the duration display (white, on lower right corner) becomes 6:31:12.
Now I create a new sequence of 1080p30, which has a 29.97fps time base. I right-click the yellow timecode display on the upper left corner of the Timeline, it says "30fps Drop-Frame". I drag the said clip onto the sequence. It occupies a length of 6:31:12. If I double-click the clip to open it in Source Monitor, now the Source Monitor timecode display indicates "Drop-Frame", and the start/end timecodes are 11:16:52:11 and 11:23:23:23. Huh??
Now I apply the "Timecode" effect on the clip. The timecode burn-in says 11:16:51:11 at the first frame and 11:23:23:22 at the last frame. I then go to the Effect Controls tab and look at the Timecode effect. It says
Format: SMPTE
Timecode Source: Media
Time Display: 30 Drop Frame
Just playing around, I switch "Timecode Source" to "Clip" - now the timecode burn-in goes from 00:00:00:00 to 00:06:31:11 - and then I switch it back to "Media". Now the Effect Controls tab says:
Format: SMPTE
Timecode Source: Media
Time Display: 30 Non-Drop Frame
And the timecode burn-in says 11:16:11:23 at the first frame and 11:22:42:22 at the last frame!
HUH??
Just for kickers, I switch "Timecode Source" to "Clip" again... Now "Time Display" stays on "30 Non-Drop Frame", and the timecode burn-in goes from 00:00:00:00 to 00:06:30:29.
What's the REAL length of this clip? Is it drop-frame or non-drop-frame? What are the REAL timecodes for it?
Also in a general sense, since I can change the "Time Display" field in the Timecode effect at any time, and change the Timecode display format of the Timeline at any time... How do I avoid creating mismatching timecodes??
Thanks in advance for any clarification!!

So obviously, only one of them could be "correct" in terms of reflecting what actually happened. The other one is slightly sped-up or slowed-down. You might say "oh that's a tiny difference, it doesn't matter".
Zooropa75, just for matter of clarification I want to make sure you understand that no matter which you use, it won't actually speed up or slow down your video. TC, wether it is non-drop or drop, is only a counting system. For that reason, it doesn't even matter which you use to reference edits, so long as everyone editing uses the same TC basis.
If you want actual time accurate TC, as was already mentioned, use drop-frame.
I'm going to kill two birds here. The "drag clip to new sequence button" action I was referring to in my earlier post is dragging your clip to the icon seen below. It should create a timeline using your videos format.
Also, remember I recommended looking in the manuel for "actual" time used? You can see below a snapshot I took from your cameras manuel. You're not shooting in whole numbers for anything unless you're using the 50hz system and shooting at 50p. That is the ONLY exception. ...and this is good for everyone to remember. Very few US digital cameras shoot frames per second in whole numbers. If it says you're shooting in 24p, 30p, 60p, etc. ad nauseum, you can bet your biscuits it's actually the multi-decimal NTCS counterparts like you see below And that should be your final answer. *chuckle*

Fit to Fill ????

Can someone please tell me where Fit To Fill is in FCP X? I have looked all over this thing and i cannot find it.
I am ready to ask for a refund too. There are just to many things missing... Please do not tell me this is missing.
Or tell me the new way you can do "fit to fill", So if you make your in/out points in your audio on timeline, then you make your in/out points on your video, how can you get the video in/out to match the audio in/out.... am i just missing something?

Well, it kinda works but it doesn't.
It does put it in the frame, but it does not work like Fit to Fill as it does not automatically do Timestreatching...
So, if i am doing a video remix, and the audio is faster then the original, i need the in/out points on the video to match the in/out points on the audio. In FCP7, it would do the timestretching for you.
The method they had in the video of the 3 point edit is great if it would just do time stretching automatically.....i will keep playing around to see if i can get it to work
