Help - Streamline Process

I wonder if anyone may offer any suggestions.
I produce 40 minute videos and my end goal is to have a file that is as small as possible, with the priority of keeping best quality footage (720p used, 1080p too large and too long to render)
1) The initial file I receive is in the video format DAV (which plays on very few media players).
2) I must then convert to AVI (AVC).
3) This is not accepted in AE CS6, so I use handbrake in order to convert to MP4. Settings 18RF, compromise of file size and quality.
4) Import to AE and render.
5) Sometimes add to Handbrake for a last time to reduce the size.
This is quite a long process, but the biggest problem I have is losing the quality of the video, but I do not know how to skip so many conversions on points 2, 3, 4.
Any suggestions would be great, as I'm quite new to video editing
Thanks

You are going from (visually) compressed to compressed to compressed so naturally, quality loss is inevitable. You amplify artifacts and introduce new ones at every step of the way. You have to use uncompressed or only binary compressed formats for your intermediate files that don't degrade the actual picture content. And well, if you work with 40 minute files you just have to get used that they will be large, but these days buying Terabyte drives is a snap. Read up on that stuff. Also read up on what AE is actualyl for. You don't edit with AE (unless you really have no other option), you apply effects and corrections, but only to the parts that actualyl need it and, that's the point, those parts previously are edited in a program like Premiere.

  • Err:Help- Parellel processing of delivery generation  is active*

    Hi
    I got this while creating a delivery in VL10. 
    "Wait for next parellel processing , wait for all 1 parell processing session or return to the list by selecting cancel "
    in another  pop box, Help- Parellel processing of delivery generation  is active
    If any one familiar with this error , pls help me to understand what could be the reason and what I need to do for fixing it pls .....
    Thanks In Advance

    Jaya,
    On your User Role Tab, try setting the Max number of tasks to zero.  Depending on your config, this field may not be locked.  Otherwise, try finding a Role/Scenario combination which presets this field to zero.
    Try setting 'List of blocked documents' to blank.
    Try setting 'list type' to '2'
    Try deselecting 'Selected items' checkbox.
    This is not goof-proof, VL10 sometimes likes to fire off in parallel on its own.  There are a host of OSS notes about this transaction, some of which talk about parallel processing.  Check [OSS 399068|https://service.sap.com/sap/support/notes/399068] and related notes.
    Also, check for any jobs running program RVV50R10S (this is VL10) in the background.  If these are running parallel tasks, you may have to wait for them to finish before you can begin new parallel tasks.

    Hi Sayaf
    It sounds like you need to use "Array Subset.vi" to split the 2000000 into 250000 element blocks.
    Set the index on Array Subset to 0 and then increment by 250000 after processing and displaying each block.
    Good luck

    Yes, as rightly said you need to run the previous delta before updating new records in the latest request. If possible de-schedule the chains for a while, delete the old deltas (assuming you are using flexible updates?) and try to repeat the loads manually & proceed to activate & schedule once the delta has finished processing. If you still think this is an issue related to idocs processing, you can do the re-processing, provided they do not create fresh batch of idocs in the source system. You can re-process the idocs both inbound & out bound using reports like RBDAGAIN (But again, use extreme caution on these!). Please refer the #scn wiki on http://goo.gl/njVLS for more information on the idocs. For reprocessing please check this http://goo.gl/8aAcz. Thanks.

  • Urgent help for processing XML stream read from a JAR file

    Hi, everyone,
         Urgently need your help!
         I am reading an XML config file from a jar file. It can print out the result well when I use the following code:
    ===============================================
    InputStream is = getClass().getResourceAsStream("conf/config.xml");
    BufferedReader br = new BufferedReader(new InputStreamReader(is));
    String line;
    while ((line = br.readLine()) != null) {
    System.out.println(line); // It works fine here, which means that the inputstream is correct
    // process the XML stream I read from above
    NodeIterator ni = processXPath("//grid/gridinfo", is);
    Below is the processXPath() function I have written:
    public static NodeIterator processXPath(String xpath, InputStream byteStream) throws Exception {
    // Set up a DOM tree to query.
    InputSource in = new InputSource(byteStream);
    DocumentBuilderFactory dfactory = DocumentBuilderFactory.newInstance();
    dfactory.setNamespaceAware(true);
    Document doc = dfactory.newDocumentBuilder().parse(in);
    // Use the simple XPath API to select a nodeIterator.
    System.out.println("Querying DOM using " + xpath);
    NodeIterator ni = XPathAPI.selectNodeIterator(doc, xpath);
    return ni;

    org.xml.sax.SAXParseException: The root element is required in a well-formed document.This often means that the parser can't find the document. You think it should be able to find the document because your test code could. However if your test code was not in the same package as your real (failing) code, your test is no good because getResourceAsStream("conf/config.xml") is looking for that file name relative to the package of the class that contains that line of code.
    If your test code wasn't in any package, put a slash before the filename and see if that works.

  • Help with processing groups of records in database

    Ok i'm at work right now trying to finish up a project for my class and what it is is a basic class to process an inner join sql statement generated table from access and order it by the student id in order to group each student together. I have written the sql statement and logic to access the database and return the array of row objects to the command line so i know it is grouping and returning info properly. I have written the conditional if statement to get the gradePoints for A = 4, B = 3, C = 2, D = 1, and F = 0 in a class method (KEEP IN MIND THE GENERATED TABLE CONSISTS OF SID, NAME, COURSE#, COURSETITLE, AND LETTERGRADE) now I just need to process each group of students individually and calculate their overall gpa's. Here in lies the problem. I imagine i need to define current student variables as like
    currentID = s[0].getStudentID();
    currentName = s[0].getStudentName();
    then loop through the values of the array with something like
    for(int j = 0; j < s; ++j)
    if(s[j].getStudentID != currentID)
    Process the grade records for the group Then reset the
    current student to the next in line with another variable
    assignment like
    currentID = s[j].getStudentID();
    currentName = s[j].getStudentName();
    }(end of if)
    Process the row object for the student created by this loop and then add it to the output string
    } (end of for loop)
    Ok so where i need help is the logic to process the grade records for the individual groups and then processing the row object. We haven't gone over anything like this in class and it is the last thing on my list to to do so any help would be appreciated. Also, if you think i'm an idiot keep it to yourself please it's not fun for people who really need help and really would like to know for future reference how to do something to be belittled. Thanks again

    sorry i guess is hopuld explain this better...I know
    sql relatively well and the sql statement for my
    query string is rediculously long with two inner
    joins and what it returns is the sid, name,
    coursenumber, coursename, and lettergrade So if you know SQL so well, why haven't you created a ViEW using this "ridiculously long" query and made your life easier?
    Two inner joins? Nothing extraordinary about that.
    this query
    generated table is then used to populate an array of
    objects for each entry in the table. They are already
    put in order depending on sid by the sql statement
    (for example)
    11111 matt deClercq 3380 intro to java A
    11111 matt deClercq 3382 database management A
    11112 john doe 3380 intro to java A>
    and so on. The problem i am having is within the for
    loop to detect the end of each student and process
    their grades for each class and calculate the gpa for
    the whole group of grades that that student has.SQL is a declarative language, not procedural. If you're "looping", it suggests to me that you're pulling all that data into the middle tier and doing the calculation in Java.
    I'm suggesting that there's a perfectly good way to do this calculation in SQL without using your ridiculous query. You might be better served if you try and figure out what that is.
    Hope this makes things a little more clear and makes
    me look a little bit more intelligent than i seemStop worrying about what people think and concentrate on your problem. You're a student. It's unlikely that you're going to appear to be on the level of Bill Joy at this point in your career. I'd be a lot more impressed if you'd stop whining about how people perceive you.

  • Need help to process attachment data

    Dear all,
    I have the following use case.
    1. I have one BPEL process which takes multipart MIME attachment with others parameters.
    2. i have to save the attachment to the database through DBAdpter and do some business process.
    My BPEL process taking attachment from standalone client and another BPEL process requester, All workings fine when the content-Id of the mime part is the physical address of the attachment file and the client and BPEL process in the same machine. By readFile() function i can get the file.
    But if i will send file with content-id:<[email protected]> - certainly it's not working.
    I would like to get any information how the Mime attachment works in BPEL process also how to retrieve the mime attachment from the SOAP message in BPEL.

    poppy-
    Aperture is a hardware hog. Unfortunately your iMac  has a weak processing unit and relatively weak graphics, both of which are important for Aperture performance. Your iMac will never run Aperture particularly well; it may or may not be adequate for your needs.
    I ran Aperture with weak hardware (2.33 GHz Core 2 Duo 2006 Macbook Pro, 3 GB RAM) for years. It was tolerable because I also used a Mac Pro for heavy editing work. With weak hardware we need to optimize everywhere we can. I suggest:
    • Do not bother running Aperture until you add RAM.
    • Before each Aperture session restart the Mac to clear possible memory leaks, and run only Aperture by itself unless you have 6 GB or more RAM on board.
    • Drives slow as they fill so verify that all hard drives are no more than approximately 70% full as a guideline. Even less full is better.
    • Keep the Library size reasonable by using a referenced-Masters workflow with Masters on external drives. Back up originals before import into Aperture or any other images app.
    Good luck!

  • Help: Concurrent Processing Java Method every certain Time Interval

    Hello, I am creating a program to access a database after adding items to cart via UPC code. When adding items, the program accesses the database to get product name and price. The program needs to have functionality for when the database is down. In this instance, the main program will store all UPC codes in a temporary Array List of integers, and once connection is reestablised, reference all these items from the database and add them to the main program (showing name and price). I need help with a method to be invoked when connection originally goes down. This method needs to check for database connectivity every 10 seconds until connection is reestablished so that all items can be dumped from temporary Array List to database for retrieval. What can I use for concurrent processing to have a method running in the background to check for connectivity every 10 seconds (while allowing user to continue adding items to cart). I have messed with the thread.sleep( ) but I am left with no other functionalities (program freezes) when the waitForConnection( ) loop method is invoked. What can I use? Thanks for your input everyone.

    I understand the help topics are difficult to find...
    Some tips:
    - use only local objects (create infopackages localy in the production client to build the process chains, so you don't have to transport them).
    - the secret for good process chain is organization. Separate texts, attributes and transactional data in separated process chains. Use a "master" global process chain to call the sub-process chains.
    - careful assure the necessary precedences. Make sure you load attribues and activate the master data before the transactional data.
