How to use different video formats in the one timeline?

Hi everyone,
So I am in the middle of stringing together a rough cut for a surf flick/documentary shot in some remote Indonesian islands…
Things so far are going well, but I am slightly confused regarding the best way to tackle a slight issue (hopefully slight!) of video format compatibility.
The main shooting for the film was done with .mov video format and this has been imported/captured into final cut pro 7 using the correct settings, which has now formed the basis for my rough cut.
However, I did a lot of filming with some other cameras (underwater, POV etc) and so also have some crucial footage in different formats that to my knowledge will not be compatible with the timeline that I have already created in FCP.
The files are as following:
AVI
MOD
MP4
I am assuming the best way to go about things is convert all these different files into a compatible form that I can then drop straight into my existing timeline.
Unfortunately, I am just beginning to learn the more techy aspects of editing and I don’t have the first idea of how to go about doing this…?
Any helpful feedback would be greatly appreciated…
Thanks in advance,
m

Although there are kinds of standard workflows for best quality in final product, it helps to know a bit more about your setup... what is your primary format? Without knowing that, the best way forward is to convert all of your footage to Apple ProRes. Especially the MP4 stuff. There are different ways about doing that, but I personally recommend Compressor. This can take some time depending on the amount and lengths of your shots, but it is well worth the process.
Make sure you choose 48k / 16bit AIF for all of your shots that have audio. If some of your footage is 1080p and some is 720p, I personally leave that alone because when you have this type of a difference in footage, I like to set my sequence to 720p giving me the option to move or pan the 1080p clips inside of the 720p sequence. Final Cut Pro is very good at handling that difference.
Hope the edit goes well; sounds like a nice project!

can anyone please show me how to resolve this?
thank you
SR

in one Portal page, i have several subtables that they are mapped to the same webdynpro application, and i want add an other subtables to the others, but that one has/mapped to a different webdynpro application..
exampl :
one portal page containes a subtables that have at the moment only one Web Dynpro Application( HRTMC_01) and Web Dynpro configuration(ZHRTMC_01) so, i want to add another subtables that have another Web Dynpro Applicat(HRTMC_02) and a different Web Dynpro configuration(ZHRTMC_02).

How to use different font styles in the same boolean text?

Hi all,
As reported here http://digital.ni.com/public.nsf/allkb/6BD344ACA4DEE20A8625692700737E16, it is possible to change font color, size or other font properties of a subtext in a string indicator. This can be applied to a caption too.
I'd like to apply this properties to a boolean text but it does not work. The boolean control has the Text.selectionStart and End property node but it does not appear to function.
Can you help me?
Thanks all

This is a bug in the development environment (I think it showed up around LV8).
There's a workaround, but it seems to work intermittently: Place some floating text on your front panel, then edit it's font styles. Select and copy the floating text. Select the boolean text (double click on it). Paste.

Different HD formats on the same timeline

Hi
I am currently editing a 6 camera HD project in FC Studio 2, I have footage that is 5D 1920x1080i H264, other footage is 1920x1080p prores, and then I have some footage that is 1920x1080i and the compression is 1440x1080 frame rates are 30frms some are 15frms.
My question: is there any way to edit the timeline with out needs only render. I have to synch clips by sound du to the fact that I have no matching TC so option p really wouldn't work. example some 10sec clips need 20 minutes to render, was just wondering if there was anyway to disable needs render until I finish the edit.
I hope that I explained this easily enough, I have a feeling that I'm just going to have to suffer through it.
Best,
S

You should probably convert all your media to a single format, like ProRes422,
with all the same frame rate. Create a new FCP project with the converted media
nicely imported and well-named.
Then use Media Manager to make lower-resolution proxies for editing
(FCP Manual IV-114). Start your mulitclip editing process by getting your
sync perfect. Take some extra time to verify that you've got it figured out.
As you edit using a multiclip, don't render the timeline. That disables
the multiclip editing function. If you need to render to check out your
work in detail, be sure to trash the render file before continuing to edit.
When you're done with the edit, use Media Manger to reconnect your
clips to the full-resolution version.

I have Video camera movies that are HD format.. I am doing editing work on them using Final Cut Pro, but using DV PAL format for the projects I am editing. When I then tried to copy my work done in FCP Project that's originally DV PAL , into a new FCP Pro

I have Video camera movies that are HD format.. I am doing editing work on them using Final Cut Pro, but using DV PAL format for the projects I am editing. When I then tried to copy my work done in FCP Project that's originally DV PAL , into a new FCP Project that is HD, and tried reconnect media with original HD movies (video), the sequence project got distorted for all the text, shapes used and all.. everything changed its orientation and scale.. Is there a way by which I can preserve my work done on DV PAL and switch it preserving its proportions, scale and orientation, but on a HD project sequence?? Appreciate your help and advice..

Yes. A couple of ways that might work.
First Way
What you need to do is load one of your hd clips in the viewer and edit into a new HD sequence. Does it display correctionly?
OK, select the clip in the hd timeline and copy (command-c). Now go to the HD sequence with the material that's distorted. Select all (command-a) and paste attributes (option-v) and choose basic motion and distort. That should maek things work. What won't work is anything that you've adjusted as far as basic motion or distort in your PAL sequence. That I'm pretty sure you'll have to redo.
Second Way.
Choose your original PAL sequence and do a Media Manage changing the sequence preset to the appropriate HD paramenters with the media offline. You then should be able to reconnect these clips with your original HD media.

How can i recover application that i have purchased in a different app store than the one i am using now ?

I Have purchased some apps from a different app store than the one i am using currently. Is it possible to recover them as i am not finding them in my list of purchases. Thx

If I create a new iTunes account for the German itunes store, what happened with my previous purchases? Do they remain on my iPhone and my Mac's iTunes?
Nothing will happen to your existing purchases. Your computer will remain authorized - you can authorize a single computer to up to five iTunes Store accounts - and the apps and content will remain in place.
Can I switch from one acount to the other every time I want to update an application or purchase a new one?
As long as you're in the relevant country, yes. Again, the terms of use say that you agree not to even attempt to use an iTunes Store from outside of its country.

Problem with SQL*Loader and different date formats in the same file

DB: Oracle Database 10g Enterprise Edition Release 10.2.0.4.0 - 64bi
System: AIX 5.3.0.0
Hello,
I'm using SQL*Loader to import semi-colon separated values into a table. The files are delivered to us by a data provider who concatenates data from different sources and this results in us having different date formats within the same file. For example:
...;2010-12-31;22/11/1932;...
I load this data using the following lines in the control file:
EXECUTIONDATE1 TIMESTAMP NULLIF EXECUTIONDATE1=BLANKS "TO_DATE(:EXECUTIONDATE1, 'YYYY-MM-DD')",
DELDOB TIMESTAMP NULLIF DELDOB=BLANKS "TO_DATE(:DELDOB, 'DD/MM/YYYY')",
The relevant NLS parameters:
NLS_LANGUAGE=FRENCH
NLS_DATE_FORMAT=DD/MM/RR
NLS_DATE_LANGUAGE=FRENCH
If I load this file as is the values loaded into the table are 31 dec 2010 and 22 nov *2032*, aven though the years are on 4 digits. If I change the NLS_DATE_FORMAT to DD/MM/YYYY then the second date value will be loaded correctly, but the first value will be loaded as 31 dec *2020* !!
How can I get both date values to load correctly?
Thanks!
Sylvain

This is very strange, after running a few tests I realized that if the year is 19XX then it will get loaded as 2019, and if it is 20XX then it will be 2020. I'm guessing it may have something to do with certain env variables that aren't set up properly because I'm fairly sure my SQL*Loader control file is correct... I'll run more tests :-(

How to publish to video format avi , wmv , mov or mpg ?

How to publish to video format avi , wmv , mov or mpg ?

Hello there,
You can publish as MP4 from Captivate and then use any video converters to convert from MP4 to whatever format you need. But, as Lilybiri mentioned, there won't be any interactivity in the videos.
Thanks,

Different video formats

Hi, I need some help.
I've been using Premiere Pro for about a month now, so I know the basics, but I'm still not an expert.
My problem is that the filming I've been doing (using Fraps) is in 3 different video formats :
1. 640x400 with 120 fps
2. 720x450 with 120 fps
3. 1280x800 with 30 fps
I've tried putting them all together in a sequence and editted the video sizes/formats so they all fit each other, but it seems to ruin the quality of the videos and also make it blurry at places (especially when exporting). Now my question is, if it is possible to have all 3 video formats in one sequence without it ruining the quality?
I've thought of changing the video formats before importing them into Premiere Pro - just not sure if this is possible.
Thanks in advance!
[Moved from the generic Cloud forum to the specific Program forum... Mod]

Upscaling that 640 footage to anything "higher" would be problematic, so you'd be limited at best to the 720 to get really usable output. But if you're downscaling to the 640, then if done properly should look good. What's your settings for sequence & export?

How can i transfer videos without losing the sound to my iPhone 3G?

Hi
I have bought my iPhone 3G yesterday. I have found out how to transfer music from iTunes however i can't transfer videos. I'm selecting the videos i want to transfer on the videos tab after i chose my iphone from the side menu and pressing apply. iTunes says that its syncing my iphone but it doesnt transfer the videos.
Lately i have found out a function on the advanced menu for movies as "create iphone or ipod version". When i used that it transfered that video to my iPhone however the sound was completely lost besides that action takes too much time(around 10 mins for a 3 min video and i have a pretty strong computer).
How can i transfer videos without losing the sound to my iPhone 3G?

One thing I'd recommend is that you make sure the video/audio you're trying to transfer falls within the guidelines listed in the 'Video' section here:
http://www.apple.com/iphone/specs.html
What's most likely happening is that the file is not converted as such so when you try to transfer it, it's wanting to convert it but is unable to for any number of reasons.
There's software out there that might make this easier for you but I can't recommend anything specifically.

How to manage different supply parameters for the same item based on demand quantity?

We are using unconstrained ASCP. We have some products that can be produced in a 'small' machine or can be produced in a large tank. If ASCP has created a planned order for a quantity less than 1000 it will be made on the small machine with the supply quantity = demand quantity. For example, we have a demand of 250, we will make exactly 250 on the small machine. But if the demand quantity is greater than 1000 we will make the supply in the tank with a fixed order quantity of 1590. Financially it will cost us less to do this and scrap the difference because the small machine is very expensive to run compared to the tank.
The challenge is, say we need 1200. ASCP generates a planned order for 1200 and all the dependent demands support 1200. Now we want to make 1590 and we are short of materials. This assumes we have set the item with no supply parameters. On the other hand, if we set a fixed order quantity of 1590 but only need 100 then we we have to scrap the materials for the balance due to a short shelf life.
Any ideas how to set a supply quantity using different parameters based on the demand quantity?
Mark Madal

Hi Mark,
I personally don’t see any standard solution for this requirement especially with an unconstrained plan.
However, if it is feasible, you can try below solution with a 'constrained plan with decision rules enabled' and check if it works,
1.   1. Define two different items – Item A and Item B
2.   2. Item A uses small machine in its routing and can have any demand that is below 999. So, Max order quantity = 999.
3.   3. Item B uses Large Tank in its routing and is a substitute of item A. Also, fixed order quantity = 1590.
4.   4. Define component substitution relationship between A and B. A and B will have identical BOM.
In a constrained plan with decision rules enabled, optimization logic will ensure that planned orders are generated for Item A whenever there is demand below 999. And for Item A, supply will always be equal to demand quantity. When the demand is more than 999, optimization engine will select substitute item B and will generated fixed supply of 1590 for it.
Check if this satisfies your requirement.

Durgesh P
