HD 3-2 frame order

The show I am working on just went HD. The editors (Avid Media Composer) are sending us clips that are 59.94 fps. The problem is that they are coming to us with a full frame 3-2 frame order. No, fields, just frames ordered AA BBB CC DDD EE FFF etc. I need to do roto and motion tracking, which is not pretty under these circumstances. I manually stripped out the frame repeats but it was a pain. Is anyone else dealing with this? Is there a way to automate this? TIA.

I work on a major network (ABC) TV show. Accoding to the editors all of ABCs shows are posted and delivered in 59.94p format. The Avids convert the 24p footage to this format on import. Our graphics department figured out that we could convert back to 24p by bringing the footage in and applying posterized time and then recomping into a 23.976 comp. We have to slide the footage in the precomp a frame or two to get it not to repeat frames, but it seems to work. I suspect others will start seeing this soon as well.

Difference between Frame order and service order

Hello guys,
Can anybody tell me the difference between the Frame order and work order in system point of view?
Which are the steps for doing the

Hi Sam,
Framework order: -
Purchasing document used to procure materials or external services. Instead of stipulating a specific delivery date, this type of purchase order has an extended validity period.
Framework orders are defined via the document type FO. They are used in accelerated procurement processes in connection with maintenance/ servicing plans or invoicing plans, and for blanket purchase orders (purchase orders with limits).
A framework order covers multiple procurement transactions over a longer period in cases where the administrative costs of processing discrete POs would be disproportionately high.
Services Order: -
Used as a means of documenting service and customer service activities
in Logistics - General (LO),, Order comes to
Describes a task which is to be carried out within a company.
The order specifies:
    - which task is to be carried out
    - when the task is to be carried out
    - what is needed to carry out the task
    - how the order costs are to be settled

QMASTER/SHAKE Frame Order

Hello,
Anyone know how to make it so Qmaster Clusters render in order, insted of the distrobuted frames? I am rendering about 8,000 2k frames and the way it renders now is frames 1-200, 400-800, 1200-1400, etc... and so on, so if the nodes crashes, I have to fill the gaps of the frames. Can be very tedious..
Anyone know how to make it so the clusters render in a count order, 1, 2, 3, .... so if the cluster crashes I can just start over and continue, insted of having to fill the gaps?
Thanks.

I just wanted to follow-up on this problem. Seems as though the root cause is the Perian QT plugin. There seem to be many reports on this list of this exact problem and the solution has always been to remove Perian.
Unfortunately, my camera produces an AVI using the Xvid codec which QuickTime does not understand, and Perian is the recommended plug-in to handle it. Perian otherwise seems to decode it nicely and the playback in QuickTime is just fine. The problem is FCE's interaction with it, somehow. I don't know if this is a Perian bug or an FCE bug.
I have looked for replacement Xvid decoders other than Perian, and have found a couple. But the main problem with those is that now audio doesn't work when playing my clips. There was one audio solution to the non-audio problem posted, but in chasing it down, the developer no longer even maintains a download page, stating that the A52Codec is now part of "Perian", install that instead:
http://trac.cod3r.com/a52codec
Argh! Why can't Apple make us a decent Xvid codec for QuickTime???
Does anyone have a direct solution without having to convert the AVI Xvid stream to something 10x larger for FCE to use more directly? My understanding is that FCE does all of its encoding/decoding using QuickTime, so in theory the Perian Xvid support should handle it, aside from the frame ordering glitches. But when I convert my 719 MB AVI Xvid clip to DV/DVPRO - NTSC that is more palatable for FCE, the resultant clip grows dramatically to 6.58 GB and I will inevitably require 10x disk storage which will get very expensive. So that solution is sub-optimal, not to mention the time required to convert the clip, it takes a long time and I generally have about a dozen to do after a day of capture.
Has anyone solved this? If so, please share your solution.

Images in roll are in reverse frame order

Greetings from a Mac and iPhoto newbie,
I just had 7 rolls worth of 35mm film negs scanned to (7) CDs by the local drugstore and I loaded the photos onto iPhoto. No problem there, but I then realized that the lab had scanned my photos in reverse order (ie. frame #1 is now 24, frame 2 is 23, etc.)
So now my photos appear as an iPhoto "roll" backwards from how they were shot in the camera. I suppose I could manually change the time on each and every photo to force it to whatever order I want, but that would be a bit of work to do.
My question: Is there an easy way to reverse the photo order on each of the rolls?
thanks for any assistance!

The files will be sorted by the capture date or, in the case of scanned files, the scanned or modified date of the file. This will reverse when you change the ascending to descending. If the files were scanned you need to check the which date of the actual file that is being used. PhotoInfo can open a folder of files and display and change the capture date. Try it to see if there is a capture date and what is the order of the dates.
If it's the captured or modified date that's being used the only application that can change those is Mira. The downside to it is that all files in a folder are batched changed to the same date and time (if you select the time option). There's no option to add a delta time between each subsequent file.
Do you Twango?
TIP: For insurance against the iPhoto database corruption that many users have experienced I recommend making a backup copy of the Library6.iPhoto database file and keep it current. If problems crop up where iPhoto suddenly can't see any photos or thinks there are no photos in the library, replacing the working Library6.iPhoto file with the backup will often get the library back. By keeping it current I mean backup after each import and/or any serious editing or work on books, slideshows, calendars, cards, etc. That insures that if a problem pops up and you do need to replace the database file, you'll retain all those efforts. It doesn't take long to make the backup and it's good insurance.

Frame ordering in Zeri fragments

I have a stream that stops playing back in Zeri player after the first few seconds (probably plays just the first fragment). I have another version of the same stream that plays fine. The difference is that the one that works correctly has the audio and video frames interleaved such that the DTS is always increasing.
E.g.
Does not work:
Audio frame 1
DTS = 0
Video frame 1
DTS = 0
Video frame 2
DTS = 40
Audio frame 2
DTS = 23
Audio frame 3
DTS = 46
Video frame 3
DTS=80
Works:
Audio frame 1
DTS = 0
Video frame 1
DTS = 0
Audio frame 2
DTS = 23
Video frame 2
DTS = 40
Audio frame 3
DTS = 46
Video frame 3
DTS=80
Can anyone confirm if the Zeri player expects the timestamps to increase monotonically across the audio or video tracks?
Thanks in advance.

Hi,
I have implemented HDS using Zeri SDK. In my implementation, I create f4f fragments with time ordered interleaving of audio and video frames. That's audio and video frames are interleaved with increasing order of PTS.
I remember facing similar issue during the development. If fragments were created with interleaving of audio and video frames with random time order, then OSMF player didn't play the stream.
Hope it helps!

Frame Order / Blanket PO

Hi experts ,
When I try to create a Blanket PO with A/c assignment category U / Item category B & enter all reqd. details , I get stuck at following error message

How to get rid of this as I need to post invoice for this in the end ,
Can anyone answer pls.?
Thanks ,

Hi,
please check the information from the note 441371
and also the table entries in table T163 for your item category.
In our standard system the following entries are maintained for
T163-PSTYP = 1:
PSTYP         1
MATNO         -
KNTZU         +
BFKNZ         -

REPOV         X
STAFO         SAP

PTEXT         Limit
EPSTP         B
It means that the invoice receive is mandantory for item category
B (item category 1 in the internal tables).
In order to ensure frictionless external services management, the
entries in this table should not be changed.
Goods receipts or the entry and acceptance of services performed are not
necessary in the case of a blanket PO and limit items. The invoices are
posted directly with reference to the purchase order, provided that the
specified value limit is not exceeded.

How do i export photos to a sd card in the order I arranged them in

My mother and I are putting together a digital picture frame album using an sd card. The pictures are in order in an album in iphoto, and a folder on my desktop, but when we drag the folder to the sd card and insert it into the frame the pictures are not in the order we arranged them. The pictures are always out of order. Any help is greatly appreciated, THANKS!

Think about how computers work - file do not have "an order" you view them with a program that puts them in an order - in the finder this may be by file name, creation date, modification date, size, etc - in iPhoto it can be by a manual sort, by photo date, etc
So the solution is to understand and see how the photo frame orders photos adn then export the files using something that keeps that order - for example if you are going to be viewing them in date order then manually sor tthem and use the batch change date/time command to set them to accending dates so the photo frame displays the way you want
The order the photo frame displays has nothing to do with iPhoto but you probalby can use iPhoto to set photo or file attributes to accomplish what you want

Alerts for framework Order

Hello,
I have a question regarding framework order (or blanket order)
When I crate an order which is a frame order -
Does tha SAP have an option that I can define that when a 85% of the order is used/ only 15% is left
I will get an e-mail Alert?

Hi ,
Thank you for your quick response.
If understand correctly - If I want the system to send an alert when a framework orded value is about to expire, the SAP can send a massage to the buyer?
Is it an option that is built-in in the SAP ? or does it takes development?

Animation frames vanishing?

I have noticed a distracting problem with my copy of CS6 as of the last few months.
I tend to do my artwork in half screen mode so I can watch a movie on the other half while I work. This is pretty easy for me once I got a comfortable layout for my tool bars. However, when I do an animation, things start going sideways.
Full screen mode, the animation panel is there in all its glory.
I drop the window down into its locked position at the bottom and the frames are still there.
But as soon as I go half screen, all the frames vanish and no amount of clicking, pleading, or praying will get them to reappear unless I either remove the window from its locked position into a free floating window (where it gets in the way of EVERYTHING) or I take the whole program back into full screen mode (so I can't watch my show on the other half.)
This is getting really inconvenient with my current animation project since I can't really stay focused unless I have a show on at the same time. Is there some sort of a setting somewhere that I botched to make this happen?

It sounds like in you animation each frame is a single layer not a composite of several layers. In the case there may be a couple of scripts the could help you do what you want or you could write one. If your layers stack is in frame order. Writing you own would best best, Only one would be needed. The two scripts are save layers to files and the second Paul's load files into a strip. You may be able to modify Paul's Load images into strip to just process your layers stack. If you don't know scripting you may be able to create an action to do one layer at a time. There may be a problem with alignment if each frame layer dosn't have at least one pixel on the right edge of the frame. You would start using the action with the bottom layer in the stack targeted then just play it over and over till you have your strip,
The action would be quite simple.
Step 1 will add canvas the width of a frame to the right side of the document. Canvas Size anchor point left center box, Relative checked and width set to frame width.
Step 2 Select All.
Step 3 (ALT|OPT+]) target next layer higher in stack.
Step 4 menu layer>Align Layers to Selection>Right Edge.
You could also record a second action to play that action 100 time. Just record one play stem and then dupe the step 100 times.

Do text frames have an (internal) "number / creation date"?

Assumption:
I suspect, that (automatic list + paragraph) numbering depends on when a text frame was created.
Situation:
I have made a paragraph text style with paragraph numbering and list numbering. Works fine, so far: I can even create multiple text frames (the three green ones in the below picture) that are not connected with / chained to each other and the numbering still is correct.
Problem:
But when I create a new text frame (with the color pink in the picture) later on, which shall be inserted as e.g. second in order, the numbering still orientates at the frame creation. Correct would be: the pink paragraph "5. new frame" should be numbered as "3.new frame", the green paragraph "3. drei" should then be numbered as "4. drei" and so forth.
Question:
How can I change the frame creation number? Can it be changed at all?

Thank you, jmlevy, this works!
But when dealing with an object with many pages, this can be tedious, though. So, is there another way? Is there a way to change the text frame order by e.g. entering a new value for its number somewhere within InDesign?

Too Many Line Items While Creating a PO

Dear All,
Here we have a scenario:
We are creating a PO which is having around 10000(ten thousand) line items, and while saving system is showing error message "Too Many PO Line Items" Message No: FI899. and not able to save it.
Kindly Let me know is there any limit for line item creation in a PO.
Regards,
Ravi B

Limitations are limitations, you need a workaround or pay SAP for an extra developement. Probably worth, if you have such POs everyday.
( I cannot even imagine for what reason a PO should have more than 10000 items. Manual maintenance is impossible, the person would sit for a week and more to finish one PO. the CSR at your vendor is as well not able to put the items from your PO into their Sales order within a reasonable time frame - order entry should be ready before delivery date is arrived.
This sounds like you want buy a company and want create just one purchase order to buy any single material they have on stock. But for that purpose the PO is certainly not designed.
Can you give more background that makes my mind open ? )

STO, Transfer postings in MM

Hi all,
What is the difference between the framework,scheduling agreement and contracts?Difference between the stock transfer, transfer posting, stock transport in MM?
Can anybody explain how does the STO is mapped in SAP MM with practical example?
If i want to transport material from the one plant to other which belongs to same company code.
Then how the material stock and finance accounts are update in system? Whether the material and finance document is created at both ends?
Please explain
Regards,
Deepika

Hi Deepika,
Frame Work Order : This is more general order used for C Class Material. Here you specify the validity and value limit. You do not specify the material detials. For example, you specify stationary for your office. the details are entered in further IR, like books pencils, etc, but these must be procurred within the value limit specified in Frame Order.
Scheduling agreement : this is an agreement with a vendor for a long term where in you do not release any Purchase Order, but delivery schedule lines as per your requirement. Note that documentation in this is very much reduced.
Contract : This is an agreement with your vendor, where in you release contract release order as and when you require. The materials to be procured within the conditions specified in the contract.
Stock Transfer Oreder within plants of a Company code : here we have one step or two step procedure. In one step procedure you enter the Goods Issue and Goods reciept in only one document in MIGO.
In two step procedure with ST Order, the recieveing plant raises an order for the requirement. The issuing plant issues goods as per this ST order. the material is then in transfer, which the recieveing plant will recieve into their own restricted stock.
Note that only materials can be transferred from unrestricted stock for STO.
Accounting document will be generated at the issuing plant and the material will be valuated as per value of issuing plant. If any delivery charges are ther, it will be posted a profit/Loss account in the recieveing plant.
Hope this will give you some idea.

Stacked Column Chart with Line

Hi
I need to Create a Stacked Column Chart representing 1 set of measures with a Line representing a target.
I want to create a chart where the Sales Amount in different Sectors is represented as a stacked column and the targets are represenetd as a line.
Currently BO supports Bar charts with line.
Does anyone know if such a feature will be supported in the new release of BO XI. Also is it possible to raise a request for this feature to be included in the new release
TIA

We are also a 30 persons department (Marketing) using in the same BO charts (since 2001) quarters made of :
- first single column ( 2014 billing in a query1)
- second stacked column (2015 billing +2015 firm orders backlog, 2015 frame orders backlog in a query2)
- third single column (2016 backlog in a query3)
and a superposed budget line
the first and the third column are offset respectively to the left and right of the second column by blank and dummy single columns of data called ghost1 and ghost2. 2016 is still empty here but the principle is clear.
This principle is used liberally in 200 + different reports. Also with transparent columns and other complicated, but graphically intuitive reports.
How can we continue to use this very natural representation of our several hundred million $ business. I have not found the mixed single column, stack column and line option in BO XI 3.1 . Please re-develop one asap if necessary. SAP should please please report asap on the recovery timeline of this lost feature. The switch from Visual Basic development to Java development should not lead to regression of any feature.
Regards.

Question about making an image as a background

I am trying to make an image(picture) as the background of my application. I got a code from this forum. This code was written by paternostro, which is in reply to: Images as a background Oct 26, 2000 1:08 PM
import java.awt.*;

import com.sun.java.swing.*;
public class Background {

Then I have a question. I was trying to make a layout manager (new GridLayout(3,0)) on jbp, then add some buttons up. But it make the program never show the background(picture) again. What should I do such that I can make the components on the frame ordered and also can see the background? Please help me, thank you very much!

Woops! So jbp is the background Panel. Create a new
panel, set the desired layout and add the required
components to this. Set this panel to opaque(false),
add it to jbp and add jbp to cp.
Haven't tried it but it sounds like it would work.
