IMovie finished product problem

I have used older imovie software over the years but I haven't come across this problem before. I have imovie09 now and downloaded my footage in the imovie09 software form my camcoder (Sony vx2100) and then finished my movie. I transfered it to iDVD to put it on dvd. I finished burning it on dvd and watched it. I'm very displeased in the quaity of the picture, it looks like you shot the footage with an old VHS camcoder. I been using a G4 mac with ilife06 to burn the dvds with no problem at all. I did alittle test to see where the problem might be. I downloaded some footage into imovie09 (about 2 minutes) and transfered it to iDVD and did a burn on a dvd. the same quaity came out. I did a 2nd test with the footage straight to iDVD instead of going through imovie and the quaity was better. My grip is, this is the way I always done it in the past with older imovie software. why has it changed now??

I have the same gripe. I have used iMovie 5 and have had great results. The video quality looks great coming from a 3-chip MiniDV camera.
I recently "upgraded" to iLife 09 with iMovie 8. I like the feature that you can access other video events but the video quality is horrible. I recently read somewhere that iMovie 8 is geared more toward video editing for online purposes, which is not great if you want to show off your videos on a dvd to be played on a television. I wish I had know that before . . . I will try the suggestion regarding "exporting as Quicktime" and see how that works. Otherwise I will "downgrade" my OS to 10.4 and get my iMovie HD back up and running. Now I just have to figure out how to do that without losing everything . . .

Poor video quality of finished product

Hi all,
I have produced an mp4 file using imovie 08, in which I changed the MP4 settings in various ways such as setting the frame rate to 59.94 fps (as used by my Sanyo Xacti camcorder) the resolution to 640 x 480 and the data rate to 10,000 kbps. Some of the footage I used is from a Canon ixus stills digital camera - 640 x 480 30 fps, the rest is from the xacti - 640 x 480 59.94 fps. I produced the mp4 file for the edited video in PAL format, and I believe that means 25 fps.
When viewed with Quicktime on the mac, it looks great. However, when burned, (and I have ensured that encoding is set to professional quality) I have played it on both the mac and my TV's DVD player and in both instances the video does not flow smoothly (it seems as if there is a problem with the frame per second rate??). It is lovely and smooth however when viewed as an mp4 file in Quicktime. Also, this does not only apply to the 60 fps footage from the xacti but also to the 30 fps footage from the Canon. AGHHHH Very annoying!
Can anyone help??!!

Don't know if this will help or not, but have you tried going into Expert Settings when exporting to Quicktime? It's Share>Quicktime and then when it asks to Compress Movie, select Expert Settings from the dropdown menu, then hit the Share button, then in the next window that opens (Save Exported File As..) choose Options, and a whole range of alternatives opens up. Maybe you've been there.
My personal hang-up is the titles. No matter what you do, they always seem to end up as low resolution with ragged edges on the finished product.

Jumbled clips after importing finished product from DV Camera

I'm pretty new to imovie '08 - My problem is that I have a finished product I had copied back onto a DV tape a few years ago and now when I try to re-import it into iMovie '08 it brings it back in as clips - and worse the clips are reorganized (maybe by date?). If it brought it back in order that would not be a big deal, I at least could just select all the clips in order. But it had a sound track that was underlying a number of the clips.
I would like to know a way to either: Import the final project into iMovie 08 without it automatically cutting it into clips, or import the clips in order.
Any help would be appreciated!
Jason

Hi Jason,
If have exactly the same problem. It seems that all transitions are taken out of the original DV footage and shows up as a small thumbnail (1 - 3 sec). This makes it hardly impossible to restore the footage to its original sequence. Did you find a workaround to import an entire DV tape as one clip in imovie 08?

Cost of finished product repetitive manufacturing

Hi,
My clients produces 5 different finshed products always. I want to map the scenario in Repetitive manufacturing.
Is it possible in REM to get the actual cost of production of 5 products separately?? fir example can i get cost of finished product 1 as Rs200, in the month of Jan2009 for 10 quantity, cost of finished product 2 in the month of Jan2009 for 5 quantity etc etc .
Regards.

Thanks to all for their valuable inputs.
Dear Mangalraj: Its really a challenge for me to decide whether to go for REM or not. The reason why I am not going for discrete is :
1. Client doesnt know how much of ( for example) fertilizers it issues for finished 1 or finished 2 . client says he knows that in a month how much he has used for example 100 kg of fertilizers in total, not on basis of finished goods. So, i think i will have problem during BOM creation and goods issue in particular.
2. Since finished products are rose plants, jasmine plants etc, client says i dont how much to do Goods reciept. few plants may still be not ready to be able to do goods reciept.Client says its very difficult for me to count flower plants everyday and then say out of 1000, 10 are ready to be done Goods reciept and 15 are dead so these should be scrapped etc.
These are the resons why i thought it to map to REM. But client also wants to know price of each plant , means whats the price of rose plant(per plant), price of jasmine plant( per plant).
Request you all to throw some light on this..
Regards.

i am developing an Batch wise consumption report, in that i want to know the finish product name, is there any FM or a table where we can find the name of the Finish Goods or Product name,,,

Usually, it depends on your business requirements.
Bare minimum fields will be MARA-MATNR, MARD-LGORT (storage location), MARC-WERKS (plant), MARA-NETPR (Price), qty, shel-life expiration date, batch number, vendor, etc.

STOCK OF FINISHED PRODUCT BY PIR NOT CONSIDERING WHILE TAKING MRP RUN

DEAR SAPGURUS,
I have finished product stock of 50 nos through planned independent requairement. now i am creating sales order for finished product but mrp run generate the planned order for finished product. I dont have planned order for finished product because material already have stock. what can i do please give solution.
thanks.
Regards
Atul

Hi Atul,
Please describe your problem better, it's not easy to understand...
Strategy 10 is net reqirement planning:
- SAP considers only PIRs as requirements, SOs are not considered
- SAP considers stock levels
- requirements should be LSF (check in MD04)
If you input sales order SAP won't create PldOrd for it. If you have stock and you want to create more to fulfil you SO, you have to input PIR accordingly and run MRP.
Please clarify your problem...in a way that we may understand it.

Third Party for finished product

normally I sell a product and it is maintained as a Finished product.
But now I dont have the enough Inventory for that product.
So I have asked my Vendor to supply that material to the customer.
In this case I cant maintain this product as the Trading good.
how should i configure this scenario.
regards,
sheetal

Hi
there is no need to maintain a thirdparty material as trading goods. you just maintain as a standard finished product.
and in VOV4 maintain a TAS(thisrd party) as manual item category for your standard item combination (lets say ORNORM-+- = TAN TAS)....
<b>when processing a sales order just change the item category to TAS whenever you need a thisrd party order,.............</b>
Hope this will resolve your problem

Revaluate Finish product GI

Hi,
We have Production order with settlement rule as follow:
Sender:production Order
reciever : material (Finish product)
Type:Full
and also we assign this Finish product to network and during month posting GI of following material to related network,when I make settle in current period according to settlement rule I expected that production cost transferred to material price but after settle only balance of order was zero and material price did not change,
I have a doubt why material price did not change and how actual price of Finish product will transfer to network that I assign this material ,
with tracking project actual cost via CJI3 ,finish product price is standard price of previous period and because of at the first period we considering standard price of finish product as 1 $ therefore all unit price of finish product in project is 1 and I dont have actual cost of project .
The worst side of my problem is that because of business problem I could not settle production orders for 3 month and during following periods all GI posting with unit price 1 $ and we dont have actual price in network,
How I can revaluate all GI of previous periods to have real cost of project up to know?
It would be my pleasure if you help me as soon as possible,
Regards,
Azam

Hi
1. GI revaluation is ruled out w/o Material Ledger in place, as said above.... However, I wont recommend Price Control V for SFG/FG either
2. In a similar scenario, what I have seen a possble workaround is this
a. The scenario was project driven MTO... .i.e. Production order was tagged to WBS element.. This scenario is called Production Lot scenario in SAP
b. Each time you create a Production order, you create a project 1st and then create the Prod order...
c. The Price control of the material was kept as V
d. No partial GR was done from Prod order as a matter of policy to avoid unfav situations
e. After GR, the prod order was settled so that any variance would be inventorized.... Even if not settled, and the stock is consumed, the variance will be booked on the WBS element... It wont tamper the entire FG valuation
However, this workaround might not help you because you wish to revaluate the GI, which is not possible w/o ML

Creating finished-product with necessary semi-finished product with BAPI

Hi,
I really need help to be able to save materials made up of several parts with BAPI.
Let me show you the idea by using the example of car (finished product):
Car is built from a lot of components, for instance:
- 1 engine
- 4 tires
- 2 front lights
etc.
My task is to implement a method responsible for creating a finished product and all necessary semi-finished products which are connected with ready prod and save them in SAP. Furthermore I've got to create a bill of materials.
Has somebody faced such a problem? How have you solved it?
Looking forward your answers.
BR,
Rafal

ok....but do u know which option I am supposed to enable to create BOM?
According to my best knowledge there is no BAPI to create BOM...i tried to find.
I found out that I have to create material master record for trading goods(type: HAWA ) and create Semifinished products (HALB) by using BAPI_MATERIAL_SAVEDATA (hopefully I'm right), but I still don't know how to connect them with each other and then use to create BOM.
Every help will be warmly appreciated.
If somebody may provide me an example it will be great.
BR,

Error creating a requisition for a finished product

Hello,
I am having the following error message while trying to order a finished product(FERT):
"Material not subj. to inventory mgmt. in plant XXX (Pl. check your input)".
I have maintained the plant/storage location view for that plant.
But I'm still getting the same error.
Please help.

Hi Chaka,
This problem will occur if you not copied plant but created plant indivisually. Please check whether value updation and qty updation tick is there for material type.
This will solve your prob 100 %

Dismantling of a Finished Product

Hi Gurus,
I am facing a Problem
My client sends a finished product 'A' to his customer.
It is returned back as customer return and Quality people does quality inspection and keep it in the block stock.
Now my client wants to dismantle the finished product 'A' and
use the component which he got by dismantling the finished product 'A' in the new production order.
For that after dismantling of the material 'A', The BOM of Component of finished material 'A' has to be updated in the stock.
How can I map this Senario.
Please guide me.
Thanx and Regards,
Praveen Kumar.S

Dear Praveenkumar,
Checkout this procedure,
1.A production order without material using CO07 will be created .
2.And in the BOM components will be entered in - ve quantity,so that their stock will get uploaded using 531 movement as a By-
Product.And enter the header material in + quantity so,that its getting issued using 261 movement.
3.But for this ,the same has to finalised with FICO & MM consultants as accoutn determination for 531 movement should be
configured.

Mm- valuation of finished product

dear gurus,
i have a problem...
a production process is going on as such :
rejection
A>B>C>D>E (final finished product)
Quality Check
at stage D we get finished product but after this step the product is going for Quality Check and thus after this we get rejection as well as the final finished product.
i want to have the valuation of this final finished product only and not of the QA and rejection material.
please help me out response me soon.
thanks:
piyush singh

Hi,
TO change the valuation class there should not be any stock, Produciton order, Purchaser order or PR. If stock is there then issue to some cost center then change the valuation class then bring back the stock.

Avoid posting of Goods receipt of finished product without consumption of components in Subcontracting process

I have one requirement:
I provide components using movement type 541 to the subcontracting vendor.
Now system will allow the goods receipt of the finished product using movement type 101.
If the components which are to be consumed using movement type 543 O are unchecked when doing goods receipt of the finished product then system will allow to do the goods receipt.
As a result of which the component consumption will not be done.
Subsequent adjustment can be done but,
I want to have a check that without consuming the components the system will throw an error message when tried to do goods receipt using movement 101.
Please advice if it can be done, if so how to achieve it.

Hi,
It depends on what you want your subcontractor to do with the faulty raw material stock - if you want them to scrap it you can scrap stock from subcontractor stock using movement type 551 and special stock "O" (the system should prompt you to enter the vendor code). If you want it returned for you to scrap it - movement 542 to return it then scrap it from your own stock.
You shouldn't receive an additional 20 of the finished parts - as you only received 80 not 100. Close the purchase order off to close off the balance of 20 remaining.
Thanks

Creation of Production order for FInished Product through Project

Hi,
Pls clear me on how we can create a Production Order for finished product.
If we confirm the production orders in PP, cant the same be confirmed in PS.. Should we consider the same activity types in both PS and PP
Pls clarify

hi srikanth,
your answer has been very helpful... but could u clarify why MRP is run in MD51 for WBS element and in MD02 for network..
Pls clarify... My scenario is like this ...
A
                        B                                                                                C
                D E F G H I                                                                                J K L M N O
I have a Assemblies B and C which are always delivered in sets.. under assemblies B and C, we have 6 sub assemblies which has its own components. I am assigning sub assemblies to differenet WBS elements 01 and 02. so, initially these sub-assemblies are produced to stock. this should happen in PP i.e., through production orders generated in MRP run ( MD51 ). In the next phase i will assign Assemblies B and C to another WBS element. Again system should generate two Production orders thru MRP for this. Here the 6 sub-assemblies produced earlier will be consumed in confirmation of the production order...
What i am doing is this correct...
and the procurement for the components is happening thru the purchase requisition generated via MRP. the components themselves are not directly assigned to the project..
Pls advise and clarify?

Automatic creation of purchase requisition for semi-finished product HALB

Hi Gurus,
We want the MRP to generate automatically a purchase requisition, instead of a planned order, for a semi-finished product. Of course, we still want to be able to convert it to a planned order.
thanks
Jean-Francois Millaire

Hi Jean-Francois Millaire,
You want a purchase requisition after MRP run & you should also able to convert that purchase requisition to planned order,If i understood correctly, hope this is your requirement
First one is possible -in MD01/MD02 maintain create purchase requisition as "1"
Second is not possible,its not possibel to conver a PR(purchase requisition to Planned order where as vice versa is possible
confirm my understanding,pls revert if you differ
