Import subtitle file error

I have a project that was split across two tapes. The tapes were sent out for subtitling and I received back two separate STL files, one for each tape.
In my build, I dropped the assets from the two tapes one after the other on track 1. Everything works fine and the subtitles for the first tape dropped in without a hitch. However, I keep getting an error when I try to import the second set of subtitles. It says "No corresponding subtitles found.
The video asset timecode may not correspond with the timecode specified for the subtitles in the import file or the file is invalid."
I reazlie that I must eventually have one big STL file. Importing an STL file wipes out any previously existing subtitles. But I can;t the second set to import at all. I cannot seem to shift the timecodes on the second STL to get the subtitles to import. My asset-based and zero-based timecodes read the same.
I can place a subtitle by hand at a particular location in the second tape footage, but when I use the same timecode in the STL file, I get the above error.
Should I have created my project with the two tapes on separate tracks? I did a quick test with that and it seems to work that way, but it would involve redoing a bunch of navigation so I would like to avoid it if possible. It seems that there should be a way to get this working on one track as I have it.
Thanks in advance!

I am using STLEdit to shift timecodes in the STL file. I can shift the timecode values for Tape 2's STL file. That is not a problem. But no matter how I shift the timecode, I still get the quoted error when I try to import the STL file.
In DVDSP, on Track 1, I place the wiper on a shot change that I know corresponds to a particular timecode for Tape 2. I determine the proper offset to apply and I shift the timecode values in the STL file. That part works fine. But then I get the errror on import. I doesn't load any of the subtitles. It claims the timecodes don't match but I am looking at the timecode in the timeline and it should be a perfect match.
Thanks.

Can Premier Elements Import Subtitle files?

Can Premier Elements Import Subtitle files in one of the following formats (DFXP, SBV, SRT, SSI, TXT, VTT)?
Thank you,

No. Premiere Elements does not support subtitles. If you want subtitles you can workaround it by having two versions of your video, one with text added to the video track and one without - but you wouldn't be able to toggle between them during playback.

Import Subtitle File (STL)

Hi -
I am trying to work out how to import a text subtitle file for use with DVD Studio Pro 4. I've been reading the manual and, from Page 456 it gave this example:
$FontName = Arial
$FontSize = 65
//The following subtitles are for scene one.
00:00:12:04 , 00:00:14:12 , Lemurs are the bullies of the wild.
00:00:16:14 , 00:00:19:08 , Here we see them bring down a moose.
So, I take that bit of text, copy it into TextEdit, save it as an RTF file (Unicode, as recommended) and go to import the file and nothing happens. No subtitle. I've tried both right-clicking in the subtitle track as well as going to the inspector there to insert it that way. No luck.
I've even tried saving the file with different extensions (.txt, .stl, .rtf) and in different character sets (unicode-8, macroman) to no avail. Most often I get: "No corresponding subtitles found" but with some of the attempts it just does nothing. No error; no subtitle.
Anyone have a file I can test that works or tips ? I am stumped since I copied it right out of the book.
Thanks,
Damon
PS: I do have a corresponding video track in place already.

I finally got it working, what I had to do was try another example. Not sure why this didn't work for two of us but did work for someone else ... as I said, despite various format shifts (unicode-8, macroman) and file types (rtf, txt, stl) I couldn't get the DVD Studio Pro example to work. I found another example on the web, however, and this one did work. The only difference that I see is the number of "options/settings". I even tried removing some of these options/setting at it stopped working. I'm not sure if DVD Studio Pro is requiring all these for a successful import. So, I am making it work by using all the options and then just changing them (and "applying to stream") to get it to work. See the example below from: http://www.geocities.com/mcpoodle43/DVDMaestro/stl_format.html
//English subtitles
$FontName = Arial
$FontSize = 36
$HorzAlign = Center
$VertAlign = Bottom
$XOffset = 0
$YOffset = 0
$ColorIndex1 = 0
$ColorIndex2 = 2
$ColorIndex3 = 8
$ColorIndex4 = 3
$Contrast1 = 15
$Contrast2 = 0
$Contrast3 = 15
$Contrast4 = 0
$ForceDisplay = FALSE
$FadeIn = 3
$FadeOut = 7
$TapeOffset = FALSE
00:00:03:24 , 00:00:06:29 , Did you read the paper today?
00:00:10:07 , 00:00:12:21 , No, did Edwards quote me right?
00:00:14:19 , 00:00:25:28 , Actually, ^IBrillstein^I said you were | unimaginably full of yourself.

Can't Import TIFF -- File Error

I am trying to import a TIFF image into my FCP project; something I've done a hundred times. This time, however, the file will not come in. "File Error". This image was made by someone else, but it opens in my ancient Photoshop CS2..so why won't it come in with my FCP 5? It's a logo, with alpha. I've done this countless times, but don't know what to do now. Please advise. Thanks.

There used to be an issue with FCP and graphic files that were created with Photoshop on a windows machine. The answer for that was to simply open it with PS on your Mac and re-save the file before importing to FCP. Not sure if that's the problem here but worth a shot.

Automator Action "Import Audio Files" error message

I use this automator action daily when it is activated via an alarm time in iCal. It is the 3rd workflow run in a series of 7 worlflows to create audio files while I'm at work (I record XM programming for use later on my iPod). Since I upgraded to OSX Lion yesterday, I'm getting a new error message I've never seen and I can't find any info on it. Can anyone help? The error message in a popup dialogue box is:
The action “Import Audio Files” encountered an error.
Check the actionʼs properties and try running the workflow again.
Under the Log for the workflow I get this message:
The operation couldn't be completed. (OSStatus error -1712.) (-1712)
The imported audio file does actually get inputted into iTunes and converted properly via iTunes, but the error creates two problems. One is the source file isn't deleted after the action runs (which is a checkbox option in that particular action). This isn't a big deal, because I can create another workflow seperately to delete the file, so I'm not as concerned with that. The major problem is that the error dialoge box displays and the sebsequent workflows that are scheduled to run right after this one can't run becasue Automator is occupied with the error message.
I'm looking for any advice I can find, I've been using this series of workflows for a long time without issue, but seems like everytime there is a new OS I have to go through the geriatrics of figuring out what slight changes apple made to the Automator actions.
Thanks for reading,
Chris

Hi,
I just solved the problem pretty easily: earlier, on Snow Leopard, automator had to be set to work in 32bit instead of 64bit otherwise there has been a lot of error messages.
I tried to do the same with iTunes on Lion and, oh miracle, it works:
close iTunes then go to Applications -> right click on iTunes -> read informations -> check the box to run the app in 32bits and restart iTunes and .... that's it.
I work in a local radio in Belgium and I rely on automator on an everyday basis to download then add prerecorded broadcasts to iTunes to be aired with Lion server and I was stuck since a few weeks because of that problem. Now I can finally work again :-)
English is not my native language so please forgive me for my mistakes ... :-)
Apple RULES (but you already know that )

Importing subtitle file - no subtitles

I'm exporting an xml file from fcp of preexisting subtitle tracks and using TEP to convert to an STL file. I look at it in textedit and it looks fine. I can import into dvdsp (by control clicking in a subittle track). It tells me that it imported subtitles but the subtitle track is empty. I can create a subtitle from within dvdsp without a problem on that track.
Any ideas?

me stupid. Finally realized that dvdsp sets default sequence start tc at 0:00:00:00 while fcp sets it at 1 hr. Changed sequence tc in fcp to 00:00:00:00 and all is well.

Importing .mov file Error

Video capture from game World of Warcraft
Codecs: Apple Intermediate and H.264 (tried both, prefer using H.264 - seems to give smaller filesize with no discernable audiovisual degradation)
1344x840 - unfortunately the game won't let me record at 1280x720, which I believe is what my final FCE product will be in anyway.
23.98 fps or 29.97 makes no difference
Sound AAC Stereo 44.100kHz
File Error: 1 file(s) recognized, 0 access denied, 1 unknown.
This issue is forcing me to open the file in Quicktime Pro (or MPEG Streamclip, VLC Player or iMovie) for the only currently known way of re-compressing(?) this .mov file into something that FCE will be able to import.
Question: What is the determining factor in FCE not being able to import a Quicktime-format file?
Sequence Settings?
Resolution?
Audio recorded at 44.100kHz v.v. 48kHz?

Don't compress the audio to AAC is the only other thing I can think of. FCE only works in specific standard video formats. Uncompressed stereo audio at 48K. AIC either 29.97 or 25fps. 1440x1080 or 1280x720.

Unable to import jpg file: Error: This file is in an unrecognized format.

I have an iMac 2009 with Mavericks 10.9.3 and iPhoto 11 (v 9.5.1) and am getting an error message trying to load 1000 .jpg photos from ScanCafe. The error message is: this file is in an unrecognized format.
I have tried the following but am still unsuccesful:
1) Upgraded all software
2) Disk Utility repair permissions.
3) Rebooted system.
4) Deleted com.apple.iPhoto plist files.
4) Tried to import the photos into a new test library within iphoto.
Interestingly, my son's MacBook is able to load the photos into iphoto. His ancient laptop is using Mountain Lion 10.8.5 and the same iPhoto 11 (9.5.1). I have also tried to upload the file from his computer to mine, but the same "unrecognized format" error is received.
Does anyone have any suggestion

That's a problem with the format of the photos sent to you by ScanCafe. The original poster in this topic contacted ScanCafe and had new disks sent to him which solved the problem:
Re: ScanCafe jpeg photo file unrecognized format in iPhoto, not Preview
I suggest you contact Carl at ScanCafe and get replacement disks with correctly formatted files.

Importing m2v-file: Error loading transcode preset

Dear all,
Just have Encore 1.51 a few weeks now (eBay). But sofar I couldn't get a project together. Only problems when importing (good) m2v files. Also on the forum almost no solutions.
Once again I have an Error loading transcode preset. I just made a DVD from a video on my DVD recorder, demuxed it on my computer, but can't import it :((
I also have posted 2 previous topics concerning my other problems with Encore, but sofar nobody has an answer. I just want to have working software.
Can anyone really help. Otherwise it's wiser to sell this software.
Han Bouman

>Resolution: 704*576
Although Encore will accept 704x576 it will always re-transcode it to 720x576. That shouldn't be the reason for the "abnormal condition" error however.
Maybe Neil's suggestion of a DVD-Video illegal GOP structure applies.
You could do some more testing with
MPEG Validator
. Are any of the GOPs larger than 15 frames? Does MPEG Validator report anything it doesn't like?

RH8 & Office 2010 import Word file error/failure

We are running RH8.02.208 on XP. We just upgraded to Office 2010. When we try to use file/import Word Document we are getting this error message
Word is installed correctly, and this kills the process.
Does anyone have an idea why we have hit this solid brick wall? And how to get around it? Thank you!!!

Hi Teri
Sorry, but Jeff is correct. Only RoboHelp 9 works with Office 2010. No patch I'm afraid.
I guess if enough folks screamed at Adobe about it one might emerge, but I'd personally not be holding my breath.
Cheers... Rick

Importing Subtitle files from CaptionMaker

Trying to import either a .son or a .stl file. DVDSP imports less than half the files, starting with #600 something out of 1200 files. Going back and forth with the subtitle program (CaptionMaker CPC 700) to see if the export settings are incorrect, or if it's a DVDSP issue. Anyone encounter this before? Is there a specific setting in CaptionMaker that DVDSP likes?

Hi Nathan,
A couple of obvious places to start.
Check that the timecode start matches the mpeg you are using.
Secondly check the validity of the font on your system which is specified in the srt file.
They are the most obvious problems.
Good Luck

Import Dump file error IMP 00015

Hello,
I have two separate users in Database 11g R2 on RHEL 5. User1 and Test.
Both database contains same tables. I would like to upgrade test database with User1 contents.
sql> imp system/****** file=location/file.dmp log=location/details.log fromuser=User1 touser=test;
But the imp responds with " IMP - 00015: following statement failed because the object already exist: "
for every tables.
What could be the possible statement to overwrite the user.
Thanks in advance.

I would do
Drop user test ==> create user test (so the user is clean now and doesn't contain anything) ==> imp file=x fromuser=user1 touser=test grants=y indexes=y constraints=y
This will cleanly overwrite the user.
Even if you use ignore=y, there might be a chance that u miss data with a matching primary key but different values in other columns.
Truncating all the tables in the target schema and importing the data with grants=n indexes=n constraints=n could be another option but very lengthy.
Regards,
CSM

Problems trying to adjust imported subtitle file

I'm trying to move some of the subtitle timings around slightly by dragging backward and forward and trimming etc but some refuse to budge. Any suggestions?
Message was edited by: Marc Morris

It had me puzzled too until I realised I had exceeded the
amount of webspace my ISP had granted me. By uploading a FLV file
to my ISP, I had exceeded the 100mb they grant me for nothing. It
was tricky to work this out because there didn't seem to be any
indication that the flv file hadn't uploaded.
Check your webspace allocation to see if it's the same
problem.
