Imported files are coming with random pixelated bits?

The original video files (mp4) are fine when I open them in QuickTime, but when I import them to Final Cut Pro X, they come with random bits that become awfully pixelated or messed up (usually 15-20 frames at a time). Here is a screenshot of the damaged import.
It happens to both the Optimized and Proxy file, though like I said the original is fine when opened in another program. I've had this problem for a while now, so both Final Cut and my computer have been restarted multiple times. What can I possibly do to import the files cleanly?

I don't think that would help. I just imported another file straight off my computer (a previously rendered video from Final Cut, so this was never a file actually on the camera card). Again, the file looks pristine in QuickTime, but has random spasms of pixelated mess when I import it to Final Cut.
Could this be a bug in Final Cut itself and I should reinstall or are there other options?

Imported files are really blurry and pixelated?

Help! I'm freaking out a bit over here.
I designed several pages from a book and a magazine in Photoshop (text, images, graphics and all) and am now trying to import them into an InDesign document to send to the printer. I import them the proper way, by going through File > Import. I created everything at 300 ppi.
However, once they're in InDesign, everything is really pixelated! I changed the Display Performance to High and it gets a little better, but still pixelated. Is this just a quirk of InDesign? When the pages are printed, will they look unpixelated? If not, how do I fix this? I'm working on a deadline, so quick advice would be much appreciated.

No, I'm not rasterizing anything. I save the PSD as is, with the text still live, and then place them in InDesign - I didn't know everything was rasterized anyways! The document looks a lot better when I import the PSDs into Illustrator, save as an .ai file, and then place them into InDesign. I've also made all the PSDs exactly to scale in Photoshop, so I don't scale anything up or down in ID.
But the PDF trick works perfectly! Everything actually looks perfect now. Thanks so much!
1. PSD will always ALWAYS output as RASTER. It's a conversion that happens on the fly and there's nothing InDesign nor Photoshop can do about it. The only way around it is to save the file as PDF.
2. Absolutely unnecessary step - same end result as placing them in InDesign. It may look better because the ai file will have a PDF for previewing in InDesign, which may show up slightly better than a low-res thumbnail that Indesign uses for previewing.
3. The PDF would be better - the text layers, vector masks and vector shapes created in Photoshop would retain their vectorness. Anything else, like smart objects, would be rasterised in the PDF to the native res of the file.

From what I've read, you may not have done any work in InDesign excepting to import the Photoshop pdf's to create one final document.
This forum could discuss at lengths end the merits of InDesign vs Photoshop for multilple page documents...let's not right now.
If your Photoshop PDF's were final page files, with nothing added in ID, you would have been better off combining the 50 page files in Acrobat; ID was a hurdle in this case.
Absolutely 90% agree with this.
Technically it would have been more efficient to use InDesign to create the multipage layout. Photoshop PDFs can be quite large, especially when retaining layers for future editing, which can bloat the file. And a larger size file size takes longer to send via email, upload to FTPs etc. and longer to RIP.
By placing the PDFs in InDesign and outputting to PDF from there they may have significantly reduced the overall size of the PDF, which would be beneficial.

Library files files are replaced with new files

Almost everyday, when i start iTunes my library files are replaced with new files & then i need to replce the new ones with my backup set

There are a couple of recommended methods for using more than one iPod on a single computer. Method one is to have two Mac or Windows user accounts which by definition would give you two completely separate libraries. Each account has it's own iTunes folder, Library and iTunes Music folder and you load it with CDs etc just as you did with your original one.
Method two is to set your preferences so that either one or both iPods get updated with only certain playlists within one library. Have a look at this article and see what you think and go for whichever you feel suits your needs best: How To Use Multiple iPods with One Computer
Another option when using a single library is to set one or both of the iPods to manual update: Managing content manually on iPod
Choosing the update option "automatically update selected playlists only" (called Sync Music - Selected playlists in iTunes 7) allows you to create a playlist specifically for each iPod and drag the tracks you want into it. If you tire of the list and want to change it, you just add or remove the songs you don't want. The ones you take out out remain in the library to be used by the other iPod. Make your playlist a Smart playlist and limit the size to just below the advertised capacity of your iPod ( for example, around 3700MB for a 4GB or 1800MB for a 2GB Mini or Nano). You can read more about playlists at these links:

Harisarah,
You can change the default program for opening files with the following:
Set your default programs
Open Default Programs by clicking the Start button , and then clicking Default Programs.
Click Associate a file type or protocol with a program.
Click the file type or protocol that you want the program to act as the default for.
Click Change program.

Hints why all Update Routines are coming with 0.00. Even the simple ones?

Hi,
any hints why about 5 update routines that I have written are coming with 0.00 or blanks.
Even very simple ones such as the one for MyCclQTY in the cube, which has the only line in the update routine between ODS and Cube:
RESULT = SOURCE_FIELDS-QTY.
shows in the cube output as blanks while QTY has data:
e.g. of Cube Output:
QTY-Field2-MyCclQTY----MyCalField2
300--125--BLANK--
0.00
600--42.9-BLANK--
0.00
Basically all my routines, e.g. MyCclQTY, MyCalField2
are not showing values while the direct mappings show the correct data.
In the above simple case, with the routine shown above, I expected to see 300 and 600 for MyCclQTY but they come out blank.
Any hints as to what may be wrong?
Thanks

<Font Face="Tahoma" Color="Blue">
Dear Friend,
Can you please try
RESULT = COMM_STRUCTURE-Qty.
Also please check that you have assigned correct Unit of Measure in the field "Unit of Routine".
Hope it helps.

Imported PAL VOB files are misinterpreted as 540 pixels high

I'm trying to import PAL VOB files into an FCP 5.0.4 sequence and though the import and playback goes well, the files are wrongly reported as being 720x540 instead of 720x576, leaving me with unusable footage because the interlaced PAL video is rendered with horizontal stripes of alternating interlaced/fused fields.
The only way to restore some degree of quality to the footage is to apply an anti-flicker filter at maximum strength, but it's a crummy solution considering the video height should have been properly interpreted in the first place.
Could someone please tell me how I can import these vob files with their proper dimensions?
Thanks for any help.
iMac G5 Mac OS X (10.4.7) FCP 5.0.4

download MPEG Streamclip
open the vob file in MPEG streamclip and use File > Export to Quicktime to convert it to DV PAL (or whatever codec you are using)
Compressor: Apple DV PAL
Quality: 85% (or higher)
Sound: Uncompressed
Frame Size: 720 X 576 (DV-PAL)
Field Dominance: Lower Field First
then click the "Make Movie: button
... import the coverted file into FCP

FCP X freezes and must force quit? I have a FCP installed on a Mac Mini (4 gig memory) and Lion OS. The import files are large ACVHD files from a Canon G10 camera. FCPX freezes and requires a force quit. Is anyone else having these problems?

I am using FCP X on both a MacMini (10.7 with 4 Gig memory) and an iMac (10.6 with 4 gig memory). The files are ACVHD files imported from a Canon G10 camcorder. FCP is constantly freezing and requiring a forced quit. Could it be that FCP X was not tested thoroughly for use on a Mac Mini?

I think it's safe to say that FCPX wasn't tested throroughly for use on anything.
with that out of the way, there are many variables as to what might cause your problems, but I don't think it's the mac mini as long as it meets the specified minimum requirements (especially the graphics card).
You might try creating a camera archive first and then importing from that.
The other issue might be the file format itself; you might need to use Clipwrap first. Maybe someone who has the same camera can chime in.

Photoshop CS6 files are compatable with CC files

My college is using photoshop CS6 and I have installed photoshop CC. I was told that files are not compatable between the two.

Standard Photoshop PSD files can be backwards compatible (with the caveats mentioned) – here is a test of saving back from CC to CS6 & CS5:

There are also some practices you can use to increase compatibility between versions, not just for Photoshop but for all the Adobe CC apps.

MaxL - Import File from DB with &

Hi,
I have Essbase application with DB name contain "&". I'm running the next Command to import file:
import database WD.P&L data from server text data_file 'WD_Exp.txt' using server rules_file 'WD_Rev' on error write to 'C:\errorFile.err';
I get the following msg: " Syntax error near ['&']".
How Can I import the File to specific location without changing DB name???
Thanks in advance,

Have you tried this:
import database WD."P&L" data from server text data_file 'WD_Exp.txt' using server rules_file 'WD_Rev' on error write to 'C:\errorFile.err';
Just my preference here with the double quotes and double slashes:
import database WD."P&L" data from server text data_file "WD_Exp.txt" using server rules_file "WD_Rev" on error write to "C:\\errorFile.err" ;

Importing files are too big

Whenever I try to import my cds onto iTunes, in the bottom bar it says that the file will be about 500 MB. I know this isn't right because whenever I import on a PC or another MAC, it shows up at about 30 MB. My iTunes preferences are set on AAC, which I hear is suggested. I don't know what else to do...

It does make sense. You are probably importing your tunes in Apple Lossless or AIFF. You need to check your import settings.
1. Open iTunes Prefs > Advanced > Importing.
2. Make sure the "Import Using" is set to either AAC or MP3, whichever you prefer.
3. Click OK.
Now you probably need to make sure your existing files are transcoded.
1. Pull down Edit > View Options and click the Kind check box.
2. Sort your Library by the Kind column by clicking on it.
3. Highlight all the files that are not AAC or MP3.
4. Control+click the files and choose "convert selection to XXX."
Once that is done you can then delete the Lossless/AIFF files.

Upon creating a new catalog, all files are renamed with a postfix: "-2"?

My catalog was corrupted, and i decided to create a new catalog from cratch.
To my big surprise alle falenames was renamed from IMG_xxxx.cr2 to IMG_xxxx-2.cr2. Why?
This is i problem sice i still god the old catalog, and try to recover some of the old editorial settings, but since alle files are renamed the are no longer visible in the old catalog. just about 15.000 files are renamed!

Lightroom only adds suffixes when it finds files of the same name in a location it's moving or copying too.
What option did you use on Import? Copy/Add/Move?

What video files are compatible with mac?

I am trying to download videos and movies, which file formats are compatible with mac?

Some types of AVIs and all protected WMA and WMV files aren't. If the component needed to open a movie isn't clear, the free MPEG Streamclip will reveal what it is or if it's possible at all.

does your schema say that this element is "qualified", you would see something like this on your schema elementFormDefault="qualified" which means that root element (CreateOrder.Request) is qualified under your target "urn:com:metasolv:oms:xmlapi:1" namespace.
you can find lots of good articles on namespace & xml..
