Help with Workflow FCP to Compressor then DVD Pro and Shaky footage
Hi, I am new to using a MAC and also to Final Cut Studio so if this question has been asked before or seems obvious then I offer my apologies.
I have a clip on the timeline which is a little shaky but I need to use it. I have added a SmoothCam filter and when I playback in FCP all seems OK however after sending to Compressor then eventually to DVD Pro the clip shows as being shaky again, almost as if the filter had been deleted in the Compressor. Could someone perhaps talk me through the correct workflow I should be using and maybe suggest where I am going wrong please. As I said this is my first attempt to author a DVD with FCP on my MAC.
The footage was captured on my Panasonic Home camcorder. The settings in my camera were set at 1920 x 1080 HG mode for High Definition.
In my camera user guide it refers to the images being based upon the MPEG-4 AVC/H.264 codec so should I have set something similar when capturing into FCP.
Any advice would be welcomed.
Regards
Fred
Hi Mike I tried everything to try and resolve this one, I tried all combinations of field dominance. I also followed the recommendations from the Apple help to use the intermediate codec (search under AVCHD in the Help files) If I get anywhere I will mail you

Fred
PS I had some advice from another forum group who said to try and export a Quicktime movie into DVD Pro and not to send to Compressor, I will try that later and see if that helps.

Help with Optical Audio, w/X-Fi Elite Pro, and Logitech Z-5
Hi,
I need help with optical audio on my X-Fi Elite Pro, and Logitech Z-5500 speakers. I have everything connected, and sound comes out, but NO 5. Surround. This is pissing me off beyond belief. I have it all connected, and set to 5. Surround, and on my Logitech's I have it set to opical in, and have tried ALL effects, stereo, strereo 2x,[Dolby Sign] PL II Movie, [Dolby Sign] PL II Music. I have tried the sound card set for an external decoder, and the sound cards' decoder, and tried both with all optical settings on the sound card. It doesn't give me surround with optical... And I would REALLY appreciate help.
My drivers are up to date.
Thanks for the help!!!!!!!!!!!

Wonder if anyone can help? Have just bought a new Macbook pro and installed FCP7. I thought that I would get quicktime pro as standard but stuck with QTX. Downloaded QT7 but it won't let me install it. Says I can't do install as I already have QTX. Does FCP not come with QTpro or am I jsut being stupid. Any suggestions would be great. Thanks. B
Hi there,
Are you running Lion or Snow Leopard? either way this may help by the looks of it.

RED ONE camera to FCP to compressor for DVD
My client used RED ONE camera for filming. He used FCP to edit it then exported it in 1920x1080 Apple ProRes 422 (HQ). He sent it to me by mail (external HD) for me to use that QT movie Apple ProRes 422 for Compressor to compress it into SD DVD MPEG-2 5.0 2-pass with Progressive (Best Quality). I used DVD Studio Pro and found it very unsatisfied with the quality of video because I'm seeing a lot of pixels around those letters during open/close credits. Not only that, I also see a lot of bad interlaced video. I set it up for Progressive and YET I'm still seeing interlaced in it. What's did I do wrong? How can I make it the best quality video for SD DVD from Red One camera or Apple ProRes 422 (HQ)? I know Blue-ray is the best answer but a lot of my costumers don't own blue-ray dvd player. (I'm sure you're aware that HD DVD don't work on any DVD players, only on Mac computer which is very unfortunate for me!) Please help! I'm flirting the deadline right now:)
1. Take your sequence into an uncompressed 720x480 16x9 anamorphic sequence. It needs to be 720x480 first since thats the resolution of NTSC DVD - create a 720x480 uncompressed 16x9 anamorphic sequence
2. With a bitrate calculator, you would need to determine the best bitrate. How long is your DVD? (include menus as well) plug it into the calc. here's a good one:
http://www.videohelp.com/calc.htm
3. Export out through compressor as an MPEG2 file and the bitrates from above. make sure you match field order of your source if interlaced
4. Import into DVDSP and author away -
Should I delete all my .MTS files? Help with workflow desperately needed
I use a Sony NEX 6 to film a lot of personal projects. My workflow has so far been
Film Import to lightroom Export as H.264 to hardrive Import to iMovie
But now I am going to start using final cut pro x. Apparently Final Cut X is unable to import .MTS files so again, workflow at the moment is
Film Import to lightroom Export as H.264 Import to Final Cut Pro X and convert to ProRes
My hardrive has quickly filled up and I've realised that I stupidly have my footage saved in 3 different locations. Lightrooms catalogue (.MTS), the file on my hardrive that I export the footage from lightroom to (export as H.264 but file type says it's mp4?) and Final Cut Pro's catalogue (ProRes).
I want a system where my footage is saved in one place on my laptops hardrive, then I will back my computer up with an external hardrive.
How does this workflow sound?
Film Import to lightroom Export as H.264 Import to Final Cut Pro X Delete footage from lightroom Delete exported file on computer Backup laptop on external hardrive
Can anyone suggest a better workflow?
Will I come across any problems in the future by deleting everything except the ProRes files?
Is lightroom a good enough program to be exporting my footage from or should I use a dedicated converter?Thank you for your help, yes I will be backing up elsewhere. I'm a massive noob at all this and after an afternoon of searching I think I've got my head around it. Best option for future footage
Import AVCHD directly from camera into Final Cut Pro. Convert it to ProRes if I have the space or if I'm not happy with the speed of working with native footage.
For all the footage that I have in lightroom but no longer have on a memory card my plan is to
Rewrap the files (I'm using a trial of clipwrap which changes the .MTS to .MOV).
Import the .Mov files into FCP, transfer file into FCP catalogue
Delete the movies from lightroom and the lightroom catalogue -
Need help with Workflow Issue: One notification sending out non-stop email.
Hi,
We've created a custom PO Approval Workflow based on standard PO Approval Workflow and we've had this for a while now. Last week, we encountered an issue where the notification keeps on sending email to the Suppliers and Buyers. We found out that the particular notification_id in the WF_NOTIFICATIONS table keeps getting updated by the minute setting the MAIL_STATUS to INVALID then back to SENT then back to INVALID again and so on. We think that whatever is updating this table is the cause but up until now we haven't found what's updating it. Below are some information of our instance.
Oracle Applications: 11.5.10.2
Database: 10.2.0.4 64 bit
OS: AIX
Custom Workflow based on revision 115.127.11510.16
Customizations:
- Created custom notification XX_EMAIL_PO_PDF_SUPP based on EMAIL_PO_PDF_SUPP.
- Created custom message XX_EMAIL_PO_PDF based on EMAIL_PO_PDF.
- Added #WFM_CC to XX_EMAIL_PO_PDF.
- Created custom attribute XX_PO_WF_EMAIL_PERFORMER and set as Performer to notification XX_EMAIL_PO_PDF_SUPP.
- Created custom function XX_ADDTL_STARTUP_VAL right after function "Set Workflow Startup Values". This function sets #WFM_CC attribute and XX_PO_WF_EMAIL_PERFORMER attribute.
Not sure if the customizations have anything to do with the issue since not all POs have this issue. Have anyone experience this? Would really appreciate any help with this.
Thanks,

hi. Noob here.. so forgive my stupidity !!
what I am trying to achieve is this ... trying to get infopath form submission repeating values into a sharepoint library as fields.
So I have managed to get the following fields promoted to sharepoint.
Product - product1;product2;product 3;product 4
Price - £50;£60;£70;£80
Qty - 1;50;10;60
How can I parse these strings and extract the substrings into list fields ? Can I do this with a workflow ?
Appreciate any help with this ! thanksHi,
According to your post, my understanding is that you wanted to use the workflow to extract the substrings.
To achieve your scenario, we should first retrieve the data from the InfoPath form.
If your workflow is running on an InfoPath form, you can use the technique described in How to retrieve InfoPath form data in a SharePoint
workflow.
If your workflow is running on a list item or document that is not an InfoPath form, you will have to download the InfoPath form from the library in which it is located, and use XPath expressions to access and modify data in the form. See
Specifying namespaces to use XPath queries in InfoPath for examples.
Then we can use the Utility Actions, such as the
Extract Substring from Index of String to extrach the substrings.
There is a good article, you can hava a look at it.

Please help with workflow inspired SQL
Hi everyone, I need some help with a piece of sql I need to create. It will be used in a workflow scenario and is therefore a bit hairy and has some limitations. So here goes..
I have 2 current tables that will be used in this query. The first is a table used as a supervisor cross reference, and the second will be used for signing authority, or approval authorization. In short...the first table will give you the supervisor for the particular employee or employee in the where clause. This tells us who to route to. The second table has the operators authority level. As an example.... 1, 2, 3, or 4. A 1 could signify that this supervisor can approve for up to $5,000, and a 4 could signify that this person can approve up to $250,000. thats the basic idea.
So what I need to do in ONE statement is get the requestor's supervisor, and then check his/hers authority level for level 1, 2, 3 or 4. The authority level needed will be passed into the query, so I will have that as well as the requestor. And here is the hard part...... If no rows are returned (the supervisor does not have authority to approve) I need the query to apply the same logic to the next supervisor. In other words, the supervisor's supervisor. Every requestor will have a supervisor. Every supervisor will also have a supervisor....so it goes until we get to the CEO. So the query needs to keep going until it finds a row matching the signing authority.
So the limitations are......this needs to happen in one SQL query, and this query can only return ONE field!
Here are some creates and inserts to give you something to work with. Been suffering with this one for a few days so your help is GREATLY appreciated.

)Hi,
Welcome to the forum!
Thanks for posting the CREATE TABLE and INSERT statements; that's very helpful!
Whenever you have a question, also post the results you want to get from the sample data your posted.
Always say what version of Oracle you're suing.
In the sample data you posted, I only see one row in each table. Does that really give a good picture of the problem? If the problem involves going up the chain of command 1, 2, 3 or more levels, then shouldn't you have a chain of at least 3 people to show the problem and test the results?
I think what you need is CONNECT BY Query , which works on a table with a parent-child relationship. Given a parent, you can find that ow's children, the children's children, their children, and so on, however many generations there are.
I don't think I can demonstrate this with your sample data, so I'll use the scott.emp table, whcih you should be able to query.
The emp table contains a hierarcy of employees, including this data:
NAME EMPNO MGR SAL JOB
KING 7839 5000 PRESIDENT
JONES 7566 7839 2975 MANAGER
SCOTT 7788 7566 3000 ANALYST
ADAMS 7876 7788 1100 CLERK
FORD 7902 7566 3000 ANALYST
SMITH 7369 7902 800 CLERK
BLAKE 7698 7839 2850 MANAGER
ALLEN 7499 7698 1600 SALESMAN
WARD 7521 7698 1250 SALESMAN
MARTIN 7654 7698 1250 SALESMAN
TURNER 7844 7698 1500 SALESMAN
JAMES 7900 7698 950 CLERK
CLARK 7782 7839 2450 MANAGER
MILLER 7934 7782 1300 CLERKThis show, among other things, that the employee with ename='KING' (empno=7839) has no boss.
JONES (empno=7566) does have a boss (mgr=7839), namely KING.
SCOTT (empno=7788) has a bos (mgr=7566), who is JONES.
I got the results above using this CONNECT BY query:
SELECT LPAD ( ' '
, 3 * (LEVEL - 1)
) || ename AS name
, empno
, mgr
, sal
, job
FROM scott.emp
START WITH mgr IS NULL
CONNECT BY mgr = PRIOR empno
;This is an example of a Top-Down Query , where we start with a parent, then find its children, grandchildren, and so on.
In your probelm, you want to do a Bottom-Up Query ; given a child, you want to see if its parent has a certain level of authority. If not, you need to look at that parent's parent, and keep going until to either reach someone with the right qualifications, or you reach the end of the chain of command.
That's similar to this problem: given a set of employees in scott.emp (say, everyone with job='CLERK') we want to find their closest ancestor who has a sal of 3000 or more. Look at the data above: you can see that SMITH is a CLERK, and SMITH'S boss, FORD, has sal=3000, so we want a row of output that shows SMITH and FORD.
For a different example, looks at MILLER. MILLER's boss, CLARK, only has sal=2450, so we need to look at CLARK's boss, KING.
One way to do that in a CONNECT BY query is:
SELECT CONNECT_BY_ROOT ename AS subordinate
, ename
, LEVEL - 1 AS steps_apart
FROM scott.emp
WHERE CONNECT_BY_ISLEAF = 1
START WITH job = 'CLERK'
CONNECT BY empno = PRIOR mgr
AND PRIOR sal < 3000
;Output:
SUBORDINAT ENAME STEPS_APART
SMITH FORD 1
ADAMS SCOTT 1
JAMES KING 2
MILLER KING 2You should be all set to write the query now.
Just kidding. I'll bet there's a lot of stuff in this message that's new to you. It's all documented in the SQL Language manual:
http://download.oracle.com/docs/cd/B28359_01/server.111/b28286/index.htm
If you'd like help, post your version, a more complete set of sample data, and the results you want from that data.
Explain, with specific examples, how you get the results you posted from the data you posted.
Do as much of the query as you can, and post your code. -
Help with workflow - out of hard drive space?
Help... not sure the best way to deal with this.
I've got a Quad G5, 2 hard drives... 1 as O/S and the other for storing stuff. Well, my hard drive is full now and I've got a feeling (even if I got a new 500gig hard drive) it would be full again within 6 months. How do I deal with this?
Should I buy external drives and just run the photos off the external drives? When one get's full, go to the next? Is this the best "workflow" method. Does someone recommend something better?
And... if that is the best... won't using external hard drives slow my performance? Time is money...
Thanks,

G5 Quad, 4gig Mac OS X (10.4.7)I think these are the options, or at least some of them:
* Burn a DVD with a bunch of your pictures. Import that DVD as a folder to Aperture. You will just have references (and versions and modifications) in Aperture, and thereby save some space.
* Take an existing Folder and Export it and put the exported file (with extension ".approject") on a DVD. If you are really short of space, delete the Folder from Aperture afterwards. Once you drag the exported file back from the DVD to Aperture, everything will be restored (I hope).
In the above paragraphs you can of course replace "DVD" with "external harddrive" or something more powerful -
Archive applet. Help with adding files to archive, then show.
I need help with this applet: http://pastebin.com/589064
The user is supposed to add, remove and open archives with text in it.
My problem is now the highlited area in the code (the lines with the @@'s).
This button should list all files i have added to the archive, however when i press the button, i only get a numberlisting. eg, if i have added 4 files to the archive I get: 0123
However I want the Joptionpane to show a listing of the files in the archive.
When I press "open" i can choose a file, press add, then open a new file, press add, and then when i click show archive, the filenames of the two files i added, should list through a Joptionpane..as you can see, i've tried, but i'm very unfamiliar with this.OK..i've done it
check out http://pastebin.com/589268
however, now i'd like to change the code, so that if i try to add to files with the same filename, the applet should show an error message..
How do i do that, please? :-) -
Need help with Installing Canon LBP 2900B on Macbook Pro OSX 10.6.8
I know this is going to sound silly, but really need help with this, URGENTLY!!!
Bought a Canon LBP2900B printer more than a year ago, and was using it on my MacBook Pro with OSX Snow Leopard (10.6.8) very well. My hard disk recently crashed and now I cannot reinstall the printer, nor can I find the driver for it anywhere for the Mac.
Have searched all the forums and followed all discussion threads on the Apple Communities as well, but none of the solutions seem to work. Even went back to @Dexter's solution with trying to download the file from the link http://boolet.free.fr/CAPT.zip (this is what I had done when I bought the printer, and it worked perfectly) but the link doesn't exist anymore.
Extremely grateful if anyone can put up a solution to this, or alternatively, IF ANYONE HAS THE OLD CAPT.ZIP FILE AND CAN UPLOAD IT.
Thanks in advance. Look forward to your solutions.
CheersDepends on how the partitons are arranged. If they're exactly as quoted, then yes.
Open Disk Utility and select the partition tab.
In the diagram, the top partition needs to be the one you're booted from, and partition 2 the middle one.
Select Partiton 2 so that it's highlighted, and click the '-' button below the diagram.
Drag the bottom right corner of partition 1 down to meet partition 3.
