Frame Offset not working

Hi all
I'm running FCP 5.1.4 on a dual 2.3 G5, OS X 10.4.9, QT 7.1.5, with a BlackMagic DeckLink HD Pro card (driver v6.1) component out to a broadcast LCD. I'm using an M-Audio MobilePre USB for audio with its latest driver (1.6.5) and "Medium Latency" out to powered monitor speakers.
I'm unable to get playback sync of sound and picture, and the Frame Offset (System Settings>Playback Control>Frame Offset makes no difference. Even at extreme settings the sync error remains the same (approx 2-3 frames).
I know I should be monitoring through the BlackMagic's SPDIF out, but I don't currently have any way to amplify that signal. I also know USB audio is probably asking for trouble, but this should work with the right offset, no?
Anyone shed any light?

You should be using audio that follows the video, else you'll get latency. Frame Offset is for those times when deck control might be off... certain HD signals and old rs422 caused this.
Your best bet is to figure out how to amplify the signal out of the decklink card.

FIND with MATCH OFFSET not working

Hi,
I have a statement:
FIND '/' IN <ls_data_package>-/bic/zbib_sysn MATCH OFFSET off2.
this works in all the case except for when <ls_data_package>-/bic/zbib_sysn = SSULTANA-VMC/.
(i.e. when /bic/zbib_sysn = USERID-VMC/, here SSULTANA is the user ID)
*In this case off2 = .
Value of sy-subrc is 0 after this statement is executed
Can some one please point out what I am doing wrong.
Thank you,
CD

>FIND with MATCH OFFSET not working
Most unlikely. More likely is that it isn't doing what you think it should be doing. Or you're using it incorrectly!
I can't really follow what your problem is. I assume you mean that you are getting off2 with value 0, when /bic/zbib_sysn contains USERID-VMC/
Can you be a little clearer in what the issue is?
DATA: off2 TYPE i.
FIND '/' IN 'this string /' MATCH OFFSET off2.
WRITE: / sy-subrc, off2.
This little program returns 0 and 12

InDesign auto-size frame feature not working in real time in InCopy why?

We have just recently migrated from InCopy CS4 to CS6 to take advantage of the new features like the auto resize frame option, however it now seems that this feature is not working in real-time.
Basically the steps are needed to be complete before it auto-resizes the frame in InCopy, we use both layout and assignment based workflows:
1. From an ID document ('doc1'), exported a 'layer' to IC, certain frames are set to auto-size in height using the text frame options. So that editorial can review and make changes to text and the frame should resize according to the specifications set. IC stories are saved to a folder located in a content folder inside the top issue working folder.
2. Editorial opens the IC software, then opens the ID 'doc1'. Check’s out correct .icml file and makes edits to frame with auto resize.
3. Frame does not resize according to text frame set options and InCopy file does not respond in same fashion as InDesign.
4. Change only occurs when InCopy file is closed and updated in InDesign, which is frustrating as this feature would save huge amounts of time serving editorial requests.
Has anybody experienced this type of workflow problem? If anyone can provide mw with some pointers as to what can I do to get this to update in real time perhaps run a script? Update file in InCopy and refresh I will very much appreciate their assistance. I have run out of ideas.
Thanks!

We've had all sorts of problems with this feature as it should've worked straight out of the box but after some testing we have found that its something to do with the way you open the actual file in InCopy. Which is far from ideal and should have been UAT by Adobe before release.
This will not work consistently work if you open the designed .indd or .icma file in InCopy using the file open command within the application.
If you need this to work, the InCopy user has to open the .indd or .icma file by dragging and droping from OS windows explorer into InCopy, we use Windows 7 acrros all the teams. Check out .icml files add text changes to the set auto resized frames, this process will expand/collapse the frames to fit the content but as you have to use the drag and drop method to open the .indd and .icma file, 2 users cannot access the same time doc at the same time (a serious flaw in the programming architecture!) which stops people working in parallel. Save changes, check in .icml content and close .indd or .icma.
However the flaw comes in if you then open the .indd and .icma file in InCopy using the file open command within the application, before an InDesign user opens and saves the file (updates the design). The corrections added in the previous stage above, will not show the frames expanded/collapsed to take in the added text and instead show over matter???? The only way around this is to ask an InDesign user to open, update and save the design that way the InCopy user will see the same result no matter what file open method they use.
Another suggestion is to design the page to have some of the auto resize frames anchored within main body of text and that way the frames will expland/collapse when checking out and editing the content. However, this does cause issues with InDesign crashing etc. so we have tried to stop this method within the working group.
Have you experienced other more serious issues with InDesign crashing consistently when re-importing .icml files? See other forums here:
http://forums.adobe.com/thread/671820?start=80&tstart=0
http://forums.adobe.com/message/5045608#5045608
As far as we can see this is a major flaw in how the application(s) work, we have an enterprise agreement with Adobe and purchase a large volume of Adobe products globally but so far the technical support team are unable to find a solution to this and I'm not hopeful of any resolution soon even with the new release of Adobe CC.

Offset not working for fiscal year variable 0P_FYEAR

Hello all,
I am working in G/L cube. I am getting total credit and total debit keyfigures from the cube.
I want values for 2 years side by side. So I am using 0P_FYEAR as varaible for the key figure and offsetting the other by -1 but for some reason the offset is not working. ?
If I run the query just for 2007 is get the values, if i run just for 2006 I see the values for but when I use the varaible and input the fiscal year as 2007 in varaible screen than I see the values only for 2007 and not for 2006 ?
The test data in cube is for 2006 and 2007
Why can that be ?
Any suggestions?

Hi KM
Thanks for your prompt reply.
I created another simple query with 2 RKF's, one RKF uses the user entered value ( 0) and onther RKF is offset to -1 and it is very straight forward query.
The second RKF query result came blank. Infact i tried with my own variable which i have created not SAP variable, but still no luck.
Do you have any thoughts.
Thanks for all your help.

Frames suddenley not working

I am a teacher webdesign.
I used dreamweaver for 3 years, and stopped for 1 year.
Now I restart and I see that links in frames do not open in
other frame's, but they open a new browser window... am I the only
one with this problem?
If I make the frameset based on the samples in dreamweaver,
they work...

You teach web design?
If so, please tell me you don't teach your students to use
frames except to
warn them of the many pitfalls.

Maximize frame key not working...

I am new to PPro. I made the switch over from Final Cut Pro. I like my quick keys from that application, so I set them up in PPro to be the same. that being said, I switched the"`" key to be my marker quick key and switched the "F" to be the key that Maximizes the current frame I am hovering my mouse over. I want this feature in order to be able to blow up the Program monitor when i am playing back my timeline for my director to view the rough or final cut of my project... However since I also setup my workflow with a custom setting, I have the Program monitor undocked so that I can size it and place it how I want it. For some reason when trying to maximize the program monitor frame with the modified quick key "F" it will not work. My timeline which is not undocked does work when the quick key is used. So what's the deal? is this just a bug that Adobe needs to fix, or am I missing something here...???
Thanks!

Hi Clint,
This does not have to do with changing your keyboard shortcuts this is by design to my knowledge. I'll see if I can get some more details.
Have you tried using the full screen feature? This is Ctrl+` by default. If your using the FCP shortcuts you will need to assign a command to it. It's listed in the Keyboard Shortcuts window as 'Toggle Full Screen'.
Hope this helps!
Best,

Basic invisible button movie clip frame actions not working, pls. help!

Hi,
I've got a basic little slide show player which is timeline-based, rolling through 5 images with alpha transitions, and on the topmost layer, I have 5 invisible movie clips which have actions applied to them as follows:
on (press) {
gotoAndPlay(21);
This action should allow for the on click button to navigate to that specific frame, or image, but for some reason it is not working.
Did I do something wrong? I feel like I've done this before but I'm rusty with Flash since I don't use it all the time.
Any help is greatly appreciated!
Thanks,
Sean

The invisible movie clip is something I know I've done over the years on many occasions - I'm not sure I'm understanding your alternate technique, can you explain it better? The way my movie clips are invisible is just by setting the alpha to zero in the properties for the movie clip instance (clicking on the object on stage, then setting it in properties)..
Also, the actions are on the invisible movie clips (buttons) and not the timeline.
Cheers,Sean

Rollover frames will not work

I had many pages of our company's website set up to have a white frame appear when you rollover selected images. I did this using CSS and the behaviors panel. This method worked well for both the local and remote versions. I noticed lately that the remote version is no longer working, but the local version works just fine. I have tried modifying pages and synchronizing but nothing seems to work. The only change that I can think of is that I am administering the website from a different computer now. Any theory as to why the frames no longer work on the remote version of our website. The remote version is the important one because that is the one on the web.

I really don't understand your comments regarding cleaning-up the CSS. I do most all work from within the design view and I don't do direct code editing very often.
Do you drive a car without regularly checking the oil, coolant and tire pressure? I hope not. Working in Code View is essentially the same as looking under the hood of your car. You need to do it, and you should do it regularly.

TCS2 - Cross References between linked Frame files not working

Hi,
All the cross-references in my linked in FrameMaker 9 files work when output in PDF, however, when outputting WebHelp from RoboHelp 8, FrameMaker cross references that reference another FrameMaker file (i.e. not Current) do not work. The format is correct, they appear blue and underlined like every other link/cross-reference, but when moused over in the browser, there's no link to click. The HTML created by RoboHelp does not point to a file. For example, here's the HTML for one link not working as shown from within RoboHelp:
   •   <a>Create Supported App from
Install</a>.
RoboHelp appears to partially convert the link as appears in the HTML but I think there should be more information in the <a> definition, such as in the HTML created for a link that references a topic created from the same FrameMaker file.
   •   <a
 href="#XREF_17096_Creating_an">Creating an App</a>
I've ensured all the cross-references in each framemaker file in the book have the same format and are mapped to <$paratext> in the project settings. I've also tried importing the FrameMaker book instead of linking it and the same problem persists.
Any ideas on how to make RoboHelp create the link correctly? Any help you can offer would be greatly appreciated.
Thank you,
Jacquie Finney

Most of the major cross reference issues have been resolved in TCS 2 with further improvements in TCS 3.
Please ensure that you have all the patches of TCS 2 installed on your system.
If the issue is still there, there could be an altogether different reason for cross reference not working or the issue might have been fixed in TCS 3.
The reason or workaround can be analysed once the sample files with the issues are provided.
It will be great if you could share a small sample FM document containing the cross reference and target having the issue. If the cross reference is across documents, then a FrameMaker book along with its FM files can be shared in a zip format.
You can mail the documents to me at magrawalATadobeDOTcom

Seek or start playback offset not working on big flv's

Hello,
I try to start a FLV (created with soundbooth cs5) at a certain point of time using ns.play('video', 33000) or even just ns.seek(33000);
The FLV is about 9 hours long.
How do I make this work ? And why is it not working?

Do you face problem with all big flv files or just few set of files? Is it possible for you to pass on that files so that we can check at our end? But before you that - which version of FMS and Flash Player version are you on?

Offset not working with Interval Mandatory

Hi,
Does the offset function works with Interval Mandatory or do we have to use a customer exit ?

A little bit more explanation on what is needed to achieve:
Under the Rows - we would want to show Calendar Day
and under the Columns we have 2 Restricted key figure - Open Dip and Closing Dip both using the same key figure.
Opening Dip is the closing dip of the previous day. How can this be done ?
Calendar Day   Opening Dip   Closing Dip
01.01.2011       10                   20
02.01.2011       20                   30
03.01.2011       30                   40

Variable offset not working

Hello Experts -
I have a structure and a variable with single-value entry. The variable is on 0CALMONTH.
If user input 06/2007, I wanted to see information for 06/2007, 05/2007, 04/2007. I'm using a variable offset. But my report output is always for 06/2007. I have data for 05/2007 and 04/2007 also.
In the column header, it shows 04/2007, 05/2007 and 06/2007 but there's not data.
Can someone please help me with this? What am I doing wrong?

If you can see the offset result in header then it will surely work for data also.
If u have a key figure amount.
Then you need to restrict this figure for user inputed months variable - offset. i.e different restricted figures for different months.
I hope this is clear to you, if not then do let me know.
Thanks

Frames / Target not working in Firefox

So, I am redesigning my website and have problems with
dreamweaver CS3.
I am using a 3 frame set up and in Firefox, the targets don't
read correctly.
They do work in Safari though.
You can see the test site here:
http://www.amadori.org/test/index.html
In the current version of the site
http://www.amadori.org I
incorporated the main menu into the left navi frame, so it has only
2 frames.
Now, I want to add more colorful icons and make the site
brighter, so I decided to make the main menu on the top and the
submenu (if applicable) on the left.
Can somebody figure out why in my current live site, the
targets work fine
and in the test site, they don't?
If you click on items in the left side navigation frame on
the test version, they open in a new tab or window but they are
meant to open in the right side frame. (This happens specifically
in Firefox)
• I looked into my firefox settings, but do not find a
reason why this happens. Looking at other websites that use frames
as well as my current live site, they work in Firefox so it must be
something on my side.
• When making the site, I also considered using
templates in order to rid myself of the frames but I found that
dealing with two editable/optional fields was exceeding my
capabilities...so I returned to frames.
• Googled around for solutions but found
nothing...help?
Have I possibly made mistakes when splitting the frames...no
clue here.
If anyone has any input, I'd be very glad!

None of your frames have the NAME attribute set:

K/L frame-by-frame moving not working

Hi all. Normally I can move frame by frame through the timeline by holding K while pressing L or J. But now whenever I press L or J when holding K it plays at normal speed, as though I pressed L/J without holding K. Must have changed a setting somewhere but can't figure out where. Anyone know how to fix?

Yes, David, I'm having the same problem under the same circumstances. we're using merged clips made from Prores QTs and multitrk BWF files. In the trim window, the display frame jumps ahead considerably in a frame-by-frame trim, but trims accurately in the timeline. My only work-around has been to use the left/right scrub arrows in the trim window when necessary, which displays the correct frame. Sorry not to have an answer, but I saw a post on another forum from 2007 that speculated it was an FCP 6 bug. Resetting prefs doesn't help.
