How do I eliminate VCR transfer artifact?  (the thin line on screen bottom)

Hi,
The source I am working with is a DVD, however given the age, quality of the material and artifact in question, I am 99.9% sure the original source was a VHS tape.
What is the best way - with respect to quality - to get rid of the thin buzzing black/white line of the bottom of the screen when seen on a computer.
I understand that this isn't a problem on a TV because of Overscan. However, on a computer it is and I want to make movies that I people can watch on their computer without seeing the line - for example, let's say I export it for an iPod.
I have the Quicktime Mpeg2 codec and I will be using MPEG Streamclip to export the source DVD's VOB to a DV Stream. At this export point, I have the opportunity to ZOOM or Crop. Is this a good time to get rid of the white line and what are the best settings?
I will be editing the DV Stream in iMovie. When I go to export in Expert Settings, I will also have a simular opportunity to fiddle, but I don't think my Zoom/Crop options will be a malleable. However, does anybody know if this is the time, and not the MPEG Screamclip export, to get rid of the VCR line?
Thanks.

Hello, Matthew,

    Hi Aneumann,
    Welcome to the Forums.
    You have to just right click on the clip imported, in the project panel and select new sequence from clip. You can also go to file menu>new>sequence and create a sequence and then drag the clips after importing them , into the timeline.

  • CS4: How can I copy named potions of the time line to the projects panel?

    I am trying to copy named portion of my time line to the project panel & I can't past the segment.
    I copied a large AVI file to the time line, split it up into sections, & am trying to place the individual rename section into the Projects Panel. I can Copy the segment, but when I try to Paste it into the Projects Panel the Paste command is not "lighted up".
    How can I copy named potions of the time line to the projects panel?
     

    I found a way albeit a tedious method:
    positioned the render bar( I do not know the proper name) to encompass each segment separately.
    Exported that segment to Media.
    Media in turn transferred the segment to the Media Encoder program.
    The Media Encoder, after processing the segments, deposited the files in a temporary folder.
    Lastly, imported the content of the folder to the Project Panel,
    Thank you for all your suggestions.

  • How can I start System Preferences from the command line?

    Hello All,
    I have an issue I'm not quite sure how to solve. I have been tasked within my business environment  with tightening security on a Mac Leopard system and I've been granted Admin Rights to do this on a temporary basis.
    The problem is as follows:
    1) The original Sys Admin that set up this system is gone, no longer available.
    2) He was a Dvorak Keyboard fan and set up the system for a Dvorak Keyboard.
    3) The system actually has a standard Apple keyboard and is marked accordingly, i.e., qwerty (Most Users in the building have stopped using this system altogether - a terrible waste of a good system - even though some of their apps can be run normally (US style qwerty settings). The command line is useless, as is texteditor.app and a few others unless you know Dvorak layout)
    5) When I open System Preferences, the Dvorak keyboard checkbox is grayed out and I cannot change it. There is no lock at the bottom of that particular screen for me to unlock.
    6) Even though I select the US Keyboard at Login, and some apps work accordingly (like MatLab for example) the terminal is borderline useless. I spent over 2 hrs yesterday doing what should have been able to be done in about 30 minutes. I estimate a frustrating and mistake prone additional 8 to 10 hours to do what is normally a a 4 hour job at the command-line.
    7) I do not have the time or desire to re-mark all the keys on the keyboard, particularly since it is not my call to do so, nor do I have the time to re-learn Dvorak touch-typing, and finally I do not want to re-load the entire system. I just want to change the darn keyboard to a standard qwerty keyboard that is somewhat useful in a terminal environment with vi, command line, etc. It's either that or I go mildly insane
    This is frustrating as all get-out. The new Admin logged in and was able to uncheck his Dvorak settings (he is not a UNIX guy, nor is he comfortable om Macs), and we were hoping this was a system wide setting, but No. We re-booted the system, I logged in, still Dvorak, and the checkbox was still grayed out.
    So I figure, short of re-loading the entre system and all the applications necesary, I can either start the Systems Preferences GUI using sudo and hopefully that will change system-wide settings, or I can delete the .AppleSetupDone file and resetup the system (if the keyboard settings are part of the setup) without spending a couple of days reloading everything and re-setting up users, networks, etc.
    Needless to say, I am hoping for the easiest and quickest solution to this extremely frustrating and  aggravating problem.
    Thanks.

    For my situation the following C# code does the job:
        Process.Start(
           @"c:\Program Files\National Instruments\CVI71\cvi.exe",
           @"c:\temp\experiment.c" );
    The file must already exist.

  • How to initialize consumer from supplier via the command line ?

    We have a small directory that gets loaded from scratch every night.
    We also setted up replication to a couple of consumers (read only).
    The problem is that since the data is loaded everynight, we get compliants in logs "Replica has a different generation ID than local database"
    I can initialize the consumers via the gui. But how to do it from the command line from the master ? I know that an option is to do a db2ldif and then an ldif2db on the consumer but it's not an option for us.
    I also tried setting the nsds5beginreplicarefresh to start, but that doesn't seem to do a full init.
    There must be a way, as the gui actually does it.
    TIA

    Basically it's very simple. Supposing your replication is already setup and you reload data to your master. If you want the initialization pushed to all the replicas automatically, you can simply setup a flag in all the agreements. This flag is called nsDS5BeginReplicaRefresh.
    Please check the link:
    http://docs.sun.com/source/816-6699-10/confattr.html#18194
    nsDS5BeginReplicaRefresh
    Allows you to initialize a replica. This attribute is absent by default. However, if you add this attribute with a value of start, the server reinitializes the replica and removes the attribute value.
    Property
    Value
    Entry DN
    cn=ReplicationAgreementName,cn=replica,cn="suffixName",
    cn=mapping tree,cn=config
    Valid Range
    stop | start
    Default Value
    N/A
    Syntax
    DirectoryString
    Example
    nsDS5BeginReplicaRefresh: start
    Please note that this value is absent by default and will disappear whenever initialization to replica finished. Next time whenever you want it to happen again, use ldapmodify to set this flag up.
    Also, if you want this happen to all the master's replicas, you have to setup for all the agreements.
    I already tested and it turns out very magic.
    So what you should do is whenver your master get reloaded, when it gets finished, call ldapmodify to set the attribute to be "start".
    Hope it helps!

  • How do I change my password on the command line?

    How does a user change their password on the command line in 10.4? This user is not an admin. I can try "passwd" and it asks for my old password, and then new password. Then it just says "Sorry" and does not change my password.
    Thanks!

    Is the user able to change the password from "System Preferences" > "Accounts" - i.e is the problem specific to the command line? If the user is unable to change their password at all, and the Mini has an Intel processor, they may be affected by the issue described here:
    http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?artnum=304703
    Other users have posted here indicating that reinstalling the 10.4.8 update using the "combo" updater as suggested in the article has resolved the issue for them...

  • How many items can be displayed on the same line in APEX form?

    Hello,
    I have 5 items that I want to display on the same line in a form, but the fifth item is displaying on the next line eventhough I defined it as "no" in Begin On New Line and "no" in ...Field. Is there a limmitted number of items that can be display on the same line? Any help is greatly appreciated, thanks so much in advance.
    I want the 5 items to be display like this,
    Appendix1 _____ 2 _____ 3 _____ 4 _____ 5 _____
    But it is displaying,
    Appendix1 _____ 2 _____ 3 _____ 4_____ 5
    Thank you,
    MT

    If you define the 'Begin On New Line' property to 'No', it should work. I just tested it. Do you absolutely need to set the 'Begin On New Field' property to 'No'? That might change the facts.
    Best regards,
    Mathieu

  • How to place two text fields on the same line in adobe

    I am trying to create a form on adobe and I would like to have two unique text fields on the same line. Is this posible? 

    If you are using FormsCentral it is, the fields can be placed "side by side" in a row.  There is a "+" sign on the right side of the field that brings up a toolbar to add a field adjacent.  You can also right click on a field and select "Insert beside", or you can "drag and drop" fields next to one another or to a new row.
    Thanks,
    Josh
    PS - One note, if you are using the "desktop" application of FormsCentral that comes with Acroat Pro XI make sure the application is up to date by either using the "Help" - "Check for updates" menu item or by signing into the application so that you have the latest features including the side by side layout.

  • How to make a round circle with the notch line

    Hi
    If I in Illustrator on the same layer make a Elipse with a 50pt stroke (blue color) and then i make 2 lines with a 20pt stroke (black color), so its lookslike a cross and rotate it 45 degr.
    Then i Outline the 3 elements "Outline Stroke" and align the 3 elements H and V Align Center.
    Now i want to cut the black lines out of the blue cirkel, so I get 4 pices with a "non-color" space between, but wjen i select the 3 elements and use Pathfinder -> Shape Modes, then i can't cut the lines out...
    What do i do wrong.
    What i want to end up with is something like this cirkel, so i can tage the 3 pices and give em another color.

    I did it this way.
    1) Ungroup a copy of a pie chart to disconnect the data.
    2) Draw a filled circle on top of the chart.
    3) Pathfinder Divide and delete the pieces in the centre.
    4) Select the remaining pieces and Object > Expand.
    5) Select just the expanded strokes and pathfinder Unite
    6) Pathfinder Divide and delete the United stroke.
