HD memory disappears upon export

I recently updated my Retina MacBook Pro to the 10.8.2 Supplement update 2.0 and now Motion is acting odd. I've been working on a project for the past few days, prior to updating, whenver I exported a video it would work as predicted. Now, after the update, I can see my Hard Drive space just plummet. I'll start out with about 64gigs of space and before the file is done be exported it drains to just shy of 4 gigs!! I then begin to get warnings that my OSX Startup Disc full and that I need to quit or pause apps.
The project I'm working on is a very simple animation that runs just shy of 25 seconds. The final file that is outputted is about 650mb in size. This is not that big of a project and I have no idea what requires that much hard drive space.
One other note, the memory does eventually return after about 20 minutes

turn off (or "down") autosave!! and delete the files -- or get an external drive.
At least check your autosave settings.
1) You can find out where autosave is saving backups in Preferences > Cache > Autosave
reset the Keep at Most: to about 3 - 5 (if Motion crashes, you usually only need one!)
2) You can go to the path listed in Autosave and dump a lot of the older files
PS - you can also delete the Retiming cache...

Object with gradient feather disappears upon export to pdf

I'm troubleshooting a file where an object with a gradient feather disappears from the exported .pdf file. The rest of the file is perfect. I've tried different .pdf presets. I've tried moving the offending object to its own layer at the bottom of the layer stack. I've tried copying all the art to a new file. I've tried grouping everything. Nothing is working. I can successfully export to .jpg format. I'm using InDesign CS5 on an iMac. Thanks for any suggestions.

Field disappears upon pdf export

I have a field that simply disappears when exported to pdf. When printed directly out of Crystal, everything is fine. It is a formula that simply subracts one field from another. It's placed in the details section. Any ideas?

Hi Gregory,
That's strange, what version of Crystal Reports are you using?
Also, is the field visible when you export to other formats?

Has anyone seen this? All by "c's" in a font are "blocks" upon export!

It was a fairly short (test) project. Upon export, every "c" in my text was "blocked." What gives?

Nope. It's Helvetica, factory-installed FCPX. (Not 3rd party.) Never had the problem before. Doesn't happen with other fonts. I re-exported ("shared") and the blocks disappeared.
Then... it showed up again intermittently. Trashed prefs. Yep. It's a genuine bug, even if it's one-of-a-kind that is particular to my system, at this moment.
I'm not terribly worried. But, I'll be interested to see if it replicates itself inside other machines running 10.0.8. Hopefully folks will, literally, keep us "posted."

Is there a way to insert AFDs into a file upon export?

I don't *think* this is possible, but I wanted to get confirmation. Can Premiere insert an AFD flag to a file upon export?

AFD = Active Format Description. A flag contained in either a file's metadata or VANC that tells a receiver/IRD/set-top-box how to display an image. For example, an HD file/stream may contain an AFD flag for 16:9 Letterbox, so if the file/stream is downconverted the receiver/IRD/set-top box will display the SD version letterboxed, as opposed to center cut, anamorphic, etc.
I know there are a lot of hardware items that can insert AFDs (AJA FS1, FS2, etc) and dedicated transcoders (FlipFactory, Carbon Coder, Elemental) but it would seem like this is something an editor could do as well. Maybe not, but I'd like to know for certain...

How to keep photo files in order upon export?

My wife has imported two sets of files from two different cameras into iPhoto. Due to date/time stamping errors in the cameras these files did not import in the order she hoped. Consequently she created an Album and renamed and reordered the .jpg files, and all looked good. However, she would now like to export these files into a folder, with each file retaining its current order/place, and burn this to a flash drive. The end product is to be a Powerpoint presentation on a PC which will be developed by a friend. The problem is that upon export of the .jpgs into a desktop folder, the order of the files in the album is not retained. I suspect that the original metadata is taking over. Is there a way that she can export these in the order she has in the album? Thank you.

Here's one (of several) way(s) to do what you want:
Make an Album of the photos, then drag the pics into your preferred order.
Then Photos Menu: Batch Change -> Set Title to Text "John's Birthday", for instance, and tick the box to append a number to each Photo. Now your photos are titled 'John's Birthday 001, John's Birthday 002 ... etc'
Then File -> Export and in the Export dialogue set the Filename to "Use Title"
Sort on Filename in the FInder and you end up with a folder full of images in the same order as the Album in iPhoto.

How do I get rid of memory issue when exporting in imovie

How do I get rid of memory issue when exporting in imovie?

Slideshow creates massive white borders upon export, but doesn't show prior to export

Slideshow module creates massive white space / borders upon export, despite not showing any in the module. You can see what it exports here: http://i.imgur.com/V71NpDH.png, and what the module shows here: http://i.imgur.com/uegXyiW.jpg
Any ideas? This is driving me up the wall. Images are sized properly for the slideshow size (1080P). Guides are set to 0px.
Apple Retina MBP, all software is updated.

Try using a different graphics type for your logo. Some don't translate well to Word. I used to know which ones were compatible but that was long ago and the list may have changed.

Audio drops and cracks and odd sounds upon export...

working on CS4, on my mac powerbook.
upon exporting the audio has issues it doesn't in the project editing/CS4.
I've used crossfades, exponential fades to be specific... and even when I delete them, I have issues with clips I've never used them on.
the issue is the audio at the start of some of the clips drops low and then, after a second or two rises to the level it was set at.
I thought I was finished and only want to out put this cut to watch, make changes and be finished... I could really use some help on this... ugh.

well, I export it thru Premiere Pro CS4 and cs4 sends it to Adobe Media Encoder CS4.
I've found if I delete the fades and do it manually it seems to fix the issue... and the crackaling seems to be from the audio level hitting the red.
I'm still playing with the issue and have yet to export the entire document so I'm not sure my work arounds will work.
I'm still puzzled as this has NEVER happened before and I've used the same footage for smaller projects.

Audio dropping upon export

Perhaps there is a relevant thread covering this topic...
Audio is dropping out upon export to QuickTime for iDVD..
This is a 41-minute production with lots of key frames. Can't figure out a pattern to what gets dropped, but two attempts have the same audio missing . . . and it's clearly on the FCE timeline (version 2.0.3).
The timelline, BTW, is composed of four sequences.
Any ideas?

Tom:
Thanks for responding.
Yes, I mixdown each nested sequence. Strangely, however, even after doing so one of the nested sequences -- when strung together -- indicated some unrendered areas. I then rendered again.
Also interesting that exporting the individual sequences directly works fine -- no dropped audio. This, I believe, will enable me to work around this problem by using sequential files in DVD Studio Pro 2, instead of iDVD. But that's a lot of work.
Appreciate any other ideas or thoughtful suggesions. Thanks very much.

Export file disappears after exporting

Export file disappears after exporting
Tried dataexport(calc script), report script,need du=ynamic calc members too..
its urgent now....please help
But I have lots and lots of dynamic calc members...its huge...will take hours together to change...so I planned to make stored for only those members which are required in export file...but now...It seems that default calc is not getting executed... may be that happened because I changed few member properties...
Any thoguths why now dynamic calc is not working?
Thanks a lot for any help..its really urgent now...

Regardless of which limited export process you are using (dataexport calc script, report script, or MaxL/Esscmd export) I can't imagine the export file disappearing if it in fact gets written out at all.
As rinku wrote, if it's a true Esssbase export it's either in the app folder or where ever you wrote it with MaxL/Esscmd.
There are known issues with dynamic calc and dataexport. I've seen this myself and ultimately gave up on exporting the dynamic members. Yes, your changes could cause your exising aggregation scripts to give different results.
How about this:
1) Reduce scope of export process and remove dynamically calculated Accounts/Periods (a guess on my part, but likely right)
2) Export to known location (app folder under Essbase folder or some server-addressable folder). Btw, how are you doing the export? It wasn't clear from your post, but I guess it doesn't really matter.
3) See if that works, and if so, expand until failure. That will tell you what is and isn't going to work.

Fonts disappear on export

I'm pulling my hair out…
I'm using Flash CS5 to export an interface to a .mov file.
After days of everything working, suddenly none of my text shows up in my exports (.mov / .swf / anything)
Everything appears normal in the .fla file.
Let me be clear, everything was working. Then I literally added a few frames to extend the timeline of a graphic symbol. Then ALL OF MY TEXT DISAPPEARED ON EXPORT. This is on my own machine. I have all the fonts installed, so there shouldn't be a missing font issue, and I receive no warnings saying that my fonts are missing.
I messed around with font choices and replaced them with other versions. I also tried embedded all my fonts. NOTHING WORKS.
At some point in time I thought I had it solved. I exported a functional .mov only to find hours later that the text disappeared on export again.
What is going on? I cannot save down to CS4 because the TLF to classic font conversion will screw everything up.
This is a simple export. I've done this before.
This is unacceptable. I have a deadline to meet and this is the 2nd time CS5 has me chasing my tail.
Any help?
Anyone else having the same issue?

You can always download a trial copy of CS5.5 to see if your issue goes away. When I upgraded from CS4 to CS5 I noticed a huge bump in text quality and overall AS2 stability. I have no idea why. CS5.5 had just as much of a bump.
I'm not saying it's a good fix, but if it's a deadline, whatever works..
Also make sure you're not exporting over a network. Adobe has always been so sketchy about that.
Lastly in a last ditch effort, close down all apps, reboot, restart ONLY flash and let it try to export to rule out any other app conflicts.

Upon start up, got "HD needs to expand" message and then memory disappeared

Last night I had nearly 8GB of free space on my PowerBook. This morning, everything was fine before I left for work. I returned home to get one of those exclamation messages upon turning on my computer saying something to the effect of "your HD needs to expand, you will not be able to make changes during this process". Okay, fine. It did that and I looked at my memory, it's down to 4GB.
What the **** happened?! Please help!

CR memory cleanup following export to PDF

The current implementation of the Crystal Reports Java API and viewer/exporter have some severe memory/connection/object leaking issues. We've narrowed down the source of the problem to Crystal Report specific code. There does not appear to be a way to make the ReportClientDocument release all of its resources explicitly (DB Connections, Graphics objects, etc). The "close()" method does not appear to do anything. We have tried to access many different embedded objects via their getter methods and call their respective "dispose()" or "close()" methods, to no avail.
We are testing against a DB2 database from Java code. We create a ReportClientDocument via opening an RPT file, export the report to a local PDF file, close the ReportClientDocument. The objects that are created when we create the ReportClientDocument do not get released, garbage collected or otherwise cleaned up. We need a way to make the ReportClientDocument immediately release these resources.
This issue is an absolute show stopper for us. We need to resolve this ASAP. Let me know if you need any additional info.

I opened a support ticket with SAP and they eventually found that it wasn't an issue with how my application was coded or the server was set up.
The problem lies in the JVM running on the server.
This was their reply:
Issue Description: - u201COutOfMemoryu201D exception is received when trying to export a report which possibly occurs because the ReportClientDocument object holds some resources and the close() method (used to release the resources held by ReportClientDocument object) does not seem to work as per your observations.
- The OutOfMemory error occurred because the JVM is unable to garbage collect the ReportClientDocument objects from the memory made eligible for garbage collection using the close() method.
- It was confirmed during the testing period that the close() method is releasing the ReportClientDocument objects from the memory making it eligible for garbage collection, however the Garbage collector is unable to do so.
- It was also discovered that there is a JVM bug registered on the SUN site which said that u201Cthere is a trouble with VM (Java Virtual Machine) exiting that appeared to be due to running out of memoryu201D. http://bugs.sun.com/bugdatabase/view_bug.do?bug_id=4697804
- Hence the issue is because of JVM Heap Size and the workaround for this is to increase its size. However it again depends upon the scenario. That is the users/ concurrent users accessing the reports.
- JRC depends upon JVM as it is pure java based; there is only a workaround to increase the JVM heap size.

Pages '08, formatting disappears from exported times new roman text

I often work in Pages '08 with .doc files from colleagues. These invariably come in Times New Roman 12pt. When i export my files in word format, all formatting (bolds, italics etc.) has disappeared when they open the files on their own computers. If, however, I ask them to send back the file and opens it, the formatting is there. This seems to happen only when using Times New Roman, not i.e. Helvetica or (simply) Times. This is a very annoying bug, if that is what it is, which makes it hard to use Pages together with MS Word users. Anyone knows a way around this problem?

G'day Jacob,
Many thanks for your reply.
In the end, I've gone with Minion Pro, which I feel has a clean look, and a certain style without being distracting to the detriment of the text's meaning. And the text volume is very much the same as under Times New Roman.
So, how do people choose and categorise type? Is there such a thing as a guide to type -- "Garamond gives an olde-worlde classical look, New Baskerville is New World Georgian" -- that sort of thing? Yes, I realise it's broadly subjective, the feel that certain faces give, but aren't there some broad categorisations that can be made? Or is it totally subjective, and up to the designer's mood and whim?
I imagine everyone has his favourite faces -- my own for standard text is Caxton, but the Bitstream version, which is narrower and sharper than the Adobe one -- but if you want to branch out from the ones you're already familiar with, is there a way that people can get a guide or choose for a project, other than simply trying different faces until they find one they like?
