Importing Hi8 via Pana-MX500B

Hello everyone.
Got a strange problem where I'm trying to import via the DV passthru feature of the camera. It all seems fine, but when I press the "Import" button, the DV camera starts playing the tape! If I take the tape out, then the import button gets disabled...
Must be something simple, but I can't fathom it. Help!

This sometimes works -put a tape in your minidv camera, and after the connection has been made, take it out again. imovie should import now.
Either that or copy the hi-8 to DV tape and import from that.

Need help importing Hi8 footage into FCE4

Hi all,
I have a Sony Digital 8 TRV310 camcorder. I'd like to be able to import the Sony footage directly into FCE 4 but am having trouble.
I've successfully imported Hi8 footage from the TRV310 into FCE 4 in the past (it's been a couple years) but for the life of me I cannot remember how I did it (it had something to do with Easy Setup and choosing 'device control = none' or something like that. I can't seem to find that option anymore and the only 'device control none' is 'DV-NTSC DV Converter' and that selection doesn't work for the import).
Here is the process that I am going through:
1. I hook my Sony TRV310 up to my Mac Pro via a firewire 400 cable, turn the camera on and switch it to VTR (play) mode. I manually cue to the beginning of the footage I want to capture.
2. Before attempting to import Sony footage into FCE 4 I go to 'easy setup' and dial in format=NTSC and use=DV-NTSC then click the setup button. I then go to file-->capture and a small window pops up indicating that capture is being initialized.
3. The the 'capture window' pops up with preview screen indicating that 'preview has been disabled'
4. I then hit the 'play' button in the capture window and then hit the 'capture now' button.
A black window with 'Final Cut Express and Apple logo' pops up for a few seconds, then a warning window pops up which states 'this operation could not be completed as there is no video'.
Any help with this will be greatly appreciated.
Thanks.
Dennis

Sounds pretty close to me.
Try starting a NEW Project the the DV Converter option selected , you may not have initiated the DV Converter option.
Also there is no device control, so the Capture Now will not work, Start the camera manually and use the Escape key to stop capture.

Problems importing Hi8 to a PC for editing / archiving

Hey Video Experts,
I'm trying to import Hi8 video from my cam-corder through a PCI-E TV Tuner card (s-video) installed in my PC.
In PElements, I'm importing the video by "getting media," using the "Webcam or WDM device" option.    The video does import, but very poor quality, excessive artifacts, packet loss, start/stop, little or now audio... something is obviously wrong.
From several other forums I've seen, it may be that the TV Tuner card is sufficient to digitize the video - this was the intent of including the card in my PC.
So, my questions are:
     1.   Is there a way to use the TV Tuner card and achieve satisfactory results?
     2. Or, do I need some other way to do the conversion from analog to digital.
Footnote.... I purchased Pinnacle Studio several years ago. Using the same set up (PC with TV Tuner card), I got very good results with this. However, the SW went out of date and upgrades were not supported and the SW would no longer load and fuction in it's original state.   This set-up seemed to work before; maybe not with this SW....

It's better not to ask the same question in different discussions. It makes it hard for us to see the whole discussion in a single thread as you might get different answers in the different threads.
However here is a copy of the reply I made to your other thread:
Connect your camera through a FireWire connection. You can then use PRE9 to control and capture directly. If your camera doesn't have FireWire then using an Analog --> Digital bridge is your best option.
Here are links to the FAQ that go further into these options:
What tools can I use to convert my video to DV-AVI?
What is the best device for capturing analog video?
And from Tips & Tricks:
Analog Signal to Digital a Primer
The solution I use is Camera --> Canopus ADVC-300 --> WinDV. This creates the DV-AVI Type 2 video file that can be directly used in PRE with no further conversions needed.
Cheers,
Neale

Problem importing packages via ICE??

Hello,
I am running Portal 6.0 on Windows Server. For one of the business package that is to be implemented in my Portal, i have to deploy two files as a pre-requisite that are associated with SAP Note 660777(https://service.sap.com/sap/support/notes/660777). I have imported the "com.sap.pct.crm.kmconfig40.par" file but having problems deploying "fullupdate_completeBP602.zip". I must admit that i haven't got much idea about importing packages via ICE as i have never used it before.
I tried to import it via, Portal->System Administration->System Configuration. In there, Actions->Import. When i point to the "fullupdate_completeBP602.zip" file and say Preview, i get a error message saying "Enter a valid configuration archive name". Isn't this the right way to import this package? Please guide. Thanks.
Regards,

I suggest you also ask in the KM forum about ICE. There is also some information in the SAP help pages about ICE. For example an overview of it can be found

Premiere Markers export and import: Roundtrip via FCP XML not working

The objective of my project is to create a sports app that records markers and saves it in different formats of XML / CSV that I can then import in different NLE packages.
I have already succeeded with Vegas Pro but also want to support NLEs for MAC-OS.
In order to approach this analytically I have exported a very simple project with 1 sequence including 1 clip and 3 markers (with length zero and length > 0) and exported it
in FCP XML from Adobe Premiere CC and do a round-trip import it via FCP import into Adobe Premiere CC.
This round-trip does not work. Any insight why or any support what other mechanism will work?
Thanks
Thomas

let's go back to the purpose:
I have written a mobile app on which people can during a sports match capture the time of the important moments by pressing buttons.
I then convert the time information into an XML or CSV file that can be read by the different NLE. Given that Sony Vegas allows to import
markers independently from a sequence. Now I look at the same things for Premiere. This allows to edit the highlights very quickly vs watching
the entire match coverage again.
I try to replicate that on Premiere through the FCP XML, but now that the roundtrip works, the issue is that FCP XML in its structure wants a sequence.
I could imagine to provide a dummy sequence that can be overlayed by the real content just to preserve the markers. Any ideas?

Import Invoice via DTW - DocDate

Dear Experts,
I tried to import Invoice via DTW. I filled the 'DocDate' column in the oInvoice template with '20080102'. But when I checked the invoice from the A/R Invoice module the result was 20080504. Why DTW uses my system date instead of the date I put in 'docdate'? How to import this date correctly?
Thank you in advance.

Best methods for importing artwork via Illustrator with tranparency?

I'm new to Final Cut Pro and am tryin to figure out the best methods for importing artwork via Illustrator. So far, I've been saving the artwork as a transparent PNG, but I feel like there should be a better way. Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Hi:
Ussually I have to rebuild in AI the company logo (I use to work for industries) to include in FCP edit.
- If you have CS2, open Photoshop and create a new file using the right preset (i.e. DV PAL) using transparent background. That creates a PSD empty file with all attributes you need (pixels dimensions and aspect ratio) to use later in FCP.
- Select your work (i.e. the final logo) in the AI canvas and copy it.
- Paste it in the empty PSD file as "vextor information" (I don't remember right now the exact words!). That way you can resize it in the PSD file without loosing quality.
- The better ir deciding the size NOW in Photoshop, or create sveral version in different sizes. Yuo'll get better quality id you make the resizings in Photoshop rather that doing a scale in FCP timeline.
- Once your logo is in the right dimension into the PSD file, save a copy and flatten all layers keeping the transparent background. If you don't need the layers during editing in FCP, you better have all layers flattened.
- Import that file in FCP.
That's my workflow, but probably you'll find different flavors here!

A new preference has been added to customize the import delimiter in main code line. This should be available as part of future release.

I used to export cut clips to tape (version 9.0) but recently I bought the 13.0 version of PREMIERE and after cutting (etc) - to keep having the exàct same video-quality as what I IMPORTED/CAPTURED via an (analog) source - I export cut material simply to external HDs (so, actually to the computer)... but whatever I am trying I notice that when I check the export-material with the original clip the first is NOT ONLY SMALLER but ALSO DOES NOT SEEM TO HAVE THE SAME RESOLUTION, DETAILNESS, SHARPNESS (or whatever you may call it) as what I origanally captured !! ... What am I doing wrong? WHICH SETTINGS DO I HAVE TO MAKE - at least- IN ORDER TO KEEP THE SAME IMAGE-QUALITY (or even to enhance it) IN STORING ON THE COMPUTER ?! Thanks, RVH

Passport - Import Contacts Via CSV file

Just got my Passport yesterday... love it. i took a small break from BB but now i'm BACK.. awesome.
i've exported all my contacts to a CSV file but cannot seem to find how to import them via Blend.
is there a process for this? i have hundereds of business contacts that need to be in my phone.
Please help.
thank you

The best way to do it would be to import those contacts into an email account like Outlook.com and then sync that account's contacts to the Passport. Once in Outlook.com you can have those contacts on any device.

Can't import Hi8

Hi,
I'm trying to import a Hi8 tape through the DV connection on a Digital 8 camera. I'm able to see the video fine in FCP's capture preview window, but when I try to "capture now" it just sits there waiting for the timecode... can this feature be turned off so I can just import the video without relying o the timecode?
As an alternative solution, I was able to import the video using iMovie, but can't figure out how to get to the DV files that are created, since the whole iMovie project is contained in one file. Any help would be appreciated...
Thanks.

Since there is no timecode on the tape ....
Capt.
This is not always true. Some consumer Hi8 cameras wrote TC and the tapes could be captured via machine control if you had a proper deck.
Along with its broadcast division Hi8 decks, Sony made the CDV-1000 (looked similar to the DSR-11) which used VISCA control to talk with the NLEs at the time. It was not super frame accurate but did make logging and batch capturing along with recapturing at a higher resolution possible.
Still, passing the tapes through a A/DV converter will strip away any TC so the end result is the same - no TC.

Importing Hi8 video into iMovie with ADVC 300 converter

Anyone know optimal settings for picture quality with this device? Am importing PAL analogue video with this device.
Secondly, when importing into iMovie, the event video window matches the aspect of the viewing window on the old Hi8 camera. In other words, the picture size is the same. However, when moving chosen clips to the project window the picture is effectively zoomed in, and does not match the event video size or the camera size.
How do I get the size in the project to have the same appearance as the event and camera?

Hi Jon,
It appears that you have Stabilization turned on. This causes a slight zoomed in effect. Double-click on a clip to open the Clip Inspector. If checked, uncheck the box labelled "Smooth clip motion". This should fix the problem. See the following screenshot:
Also, to avoid this issue in future, click on the iMovie menu item "iMovie Preferences" and select the Browser tab. If checked, uncheck the boxes labelled "Automatically stabilize clips that have been analyzed" and "Apply rolling shutter correction for clips that have been analyzed". See the following screenshot:

Sharing an imported PDF via a link

I uploaded/imported an AcroForm to my FormCentral (FC) account, added the submit button in FC and now I'd like to share a link to the file for users to access the form, vs me having to send them a the Submission-Enabled PDF version that I downloaded.
I thought there was a way to share the PDF via a link, however, the "copy fillable form link" button is greyed out. My understanding is that the form that I uploaded to my FC account is hosted on the Adobe server, so why can't I generate a link that I can have others point to - to access the form? Or is the option to share direct links to the form ONLY for Web/HTML forms created within FC?
Please advise.

Hi;
The Import AcroForm feature allows you to use a form you have already authored, not requiring you to re-author in FormsCentral, to collect your data in FormsCentral and access features like Submission Reciepts, Notifications and the reporting available allowing you to share access to the responses etc. The Imported PDF does not create an HTML fillable form and does not provide any URL to the form.
You can host your form on a website and create a link to download the PDF from there rather than attaching the PDF to email, but there is no URL provided by FormsCentral. How complex is your form? Could you re-create it using our authoring?
Thanks,
Josh
