Interesting problem with rendering clips into B&W

I returned to working on a project after a month hiatus. Half of my project, the clips have been successfully rendered to b&w. But beginning last night, I could no longer do that rendering. It would either make the clip all black, or as for tonight, no apparent difference. Now last night an interesting iMovie 06 window popped up while I was working that asked if I wanted to continue with the new settings or the original. Having never seen this window before, I clicked on the new settings option without fully thinking it through. I wonder if that is my problem.
I am using the imovie video efx as well as the Slick software, both of which I have absolutely no trouble in the past. Other options seem to work just fine.
Does anyone have any idea as to what's going on? Do I need to save the project and re-load the iMovie from disk?
One other note. From first working on the project to now, the project has been moved to drive storage unit and I am working from that unit. Shouldn't make any difference, but then again, who knows with machines...
thanks in advance.

when you create a new sequence (Cmd-N), you have a bunch of choices for formats. You can't change one you've already created in FCE. Choose the one that best matches your video.
Even if you can't match it exactly, (because FCE is limited in the types of sequences you can create) usually it is not a problem as long as you have Real Time processing on and a reasonable mac that can handle converting formats in realtime.
In FC Pro you can make a sequence with whatever settings you want.

Two problems with audio clips

Hello,
I'm having two problems with audio clips:
1. When I try to drag a clip from the viewer, I can't do it because it won't let me drag the clip. It only lets me drag the pointer around within the clip.
2. When I drag an audio clip from the browser into the timeline I don't get any audio, just a series of beeps (and yes, my audio media is on-line -- I can listen to it in the viewer, just not the timeline).
What am I doing wrong?
Thanks.

1. Drag the little hand on speaker icon to drag from
the Viewer...
Thanks! (Does it actually say that in the documentation anywhere? I try to RTFM, but the FM seems to be a little, er, mute on this point.)
2. It means your sequence settings don't match the
properties of the source audio you're putting in it,
and you either need to change the settings in the
sequence, or render the audio.
Ah, that would explain it. Thanks!

Having problems with rendering clipls

I am new to Premier elements, and am having problems with my clips needing frequent rendering. Clips that have been rendered go from green (line) to red when a transition is added or if it is trimmed and must be rendered again. Also rendering seems to take a very long time, sometimes going fast, sometimes going a frame per second or slower. One possible problem is that I am mixing clips from two different cameras, one a HD and the other a standard def camera. I don't know if this is a factor or not.

If your clips are initially importing with a red line your project preset may be wrong - what preset are you using?
After applying transitions or effects it is normal for those segments to go red line.
It doesn't help to use two different types of video in one project. What is your final output intent - DVD or BluRay? If DVD then it would be better to convert your HD material to DV-AVI. See the Gspot link below - analyse both types of clip you are using and post the screen images here.
Some basics:
Install all Windows Updates.
Install latest version of Apple QuickTime (v7.6.7 at time of writing). Even if you don't use QuickTime, PRE relies heavily on it.
Install most recent graphics and sound drivers from the manufacturers web sites.
Run Disk Cleanup.
Run Defragmenter.
Temporarily disable any anti-virus realtime scanning.
Use the GSpot Codec Information Utility to analyse the file and post screen image.
Post back here with the necessary information described here: Got a Problem? How to Get Started

Problems with importing images into Lightroom cc

Problems with importing images into Lightroom cc
I have installed lightroom cc and having trouble imortera images from my Canon 1DX.
Lightroom starting the capture, but then nothing happens more, if I turn off the camera, I get error message photo 100-200 could not be loaded.
Now I have left lightroom 5 and where the input port works fine.
What happened to the upgrade from Lightroom 5 to lightroom cc?
The camera has the latest software.

I've now tested in various ways.
First, I have images on both memory cards in the camera.
Test1) Selects Not all of the photos in the camera at the input port bearings, it seems to work fine.
Test 2) selects all cards in the camera and then get the following, Lightroom starts inportera short but stops and nothing happens (Fig.1).
I turn the camera off after a while and get the next meddelnade (picture 1)
Which can be translated:
"The following files were not imported because they could not read (351)
Property 1-100
etc. "

Problems with rendering quality in Premiere Elements 9

Hello, I've made a few videos with PE 9 now, and I get very poor quality rendering despite trying several different settings. I saw on a help thread earlier that I needed to try changing to HD when creating the new file from the beginning. I did that, but it only made my PE 9 run more slowly, and the rendering quality was not improved. I also read somewhere that using .MOV files as a source can cause problems with rendering; is that true? I hope not! I use a Lumix bridge camera for my videos, and the video quality is very good. And when I'm working with these videos within PE 9 the quality is great. It's only when exporting to various file types that the quality suddenly becomes poor. For the most part I have made compilation videos of gymnasts, and when their legs move they are often so lined or pixelated that they become invisible. Here is an example of a short gym video I made yesterday: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-0s7tUBcSZk. The last girl jumping gives the best example of this invisible leg problem.
You can see the original source films here: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=zmUMi9oN8dQ
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=OEzcJZjhxiI
and http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=I53twqPQMV4
The sequences I took in my compilation video start at about 20 seconds in the source videos.
Youtube does reduce the quality of the videos slightly, but in any case you can definitely see a difference in quality between the source videos and the PE 9 rendered compilation video.
I'm quite disappointed because I made a longer compilation video set to music (which was a lot of work), and it looks so much nicer on PE 9 than on any of the rendered formats, but of course I can't share the PE 9 version!
Thanks very much for your help.

Thanks Steve. I'm not sure what resolution I'm shooting in, actually. However, the thing is that when I make these compilations, I like to go back to source videos I've made in the past sometimes. Sometimes these videos come from a Canon camera, and sometimes they even come from my Samsung mobile telephone. I like being able to creatively combine historic moments, and these moments might have been recorded without any intention at the time of making a compilation video. Is it not possible to combine several kinds of video sources?
I'm uploading an example of a compilation with mixed source videos from various kinds of cameras. It's 710 Megs so it will take a while, but when it's finished you will be able to see it at http://youtu.be/CslpULRe4LU.
I opened up the file for the compilation of the four girls on the beam (video posted in original message), and I do indeed see those red lines in the timeline. Is there anything I can do now about that, or do I have to start the project all over?
I'm confused about the processor requirements. Even if I can see my video perfectly in PE 9, the actual export process will be affected if my system is not up to par? If so, that's a bit disappointing! I'm not sure what my processor details are, but I will find out and let you know.
Many thanks.

Problem with rendering RGB with alpha

I have AE 6.5. I suddenly began having .AVI's with alpha channel rendering with a flickering background with numerous flashing colors.
I did system restore, reinstalled 6.5 with no help.
No new programs, not hooked to internet, using 2 gigs RAM with AMD athalon FX 53,Nvidia GeForce FX 5500.
I tried several different projects which have previously worked and they do the same thing.
Rendering as Video for Windows with no compression. RGB + Alpha
Rendering with just RGB doesn't have the flickering, etc.
Preview set to "off" in comp window.
Any help would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks in advance.

> I have AE 6.5. I suddenly began having .AVI's with alpha channel rendering with a flickering background with numerous flashing colors.
But when you composite these lcips I'll bet the alpha content is not really there.
We used to have this problem with the Media 100 hardware codec when rendering form After Effects. The alpha channel was full of the creepiest stuff, frame buffers motion blur and effects from other compsand it was really there. Playing the clip back in Media 100 or in QT showed the alpha channel's bizarre content.
However, if you turned off RGB and viewed alpha only, the stuff was gone, absolutely transparent. If you dropped the clip into a timeline, the alpha behaved normally.
We never did figure it out, just lived with it.

Problems with rendering for playback

Hi all,
I am using Final Cut Pro 7 to work with clips from two different cameras, 5D MkII and Canon G11. Both of them are using H.264 codec. After some research I realized converting them to Apple Prores 422 is better for editing, so I change them to 422 using Compressor, and with the same settings (frame size is 100% of original and both of them playing at 30fps).
Unfortunately, when I put the clips into timeline of FCP, with sequence settings set to 1920X1080, the clips from G11 (640X480) have the orange rendering bar and requires rendering. This is very annoying because playback is laggy, and FCP takes ages to render and it eats a lot of HDD space. More annoyingly when I try to use clips from "Apple Training Series: FCP7", even the clips have different resolution and different codec, only the green rendering bar appears but not the orange one.
Anyone can help suggest solutions to the rendering problem?
Many Thanks,
Anders

Yes, that is exactly what I needed. Thanks!
Just to clarify for anyone else who stumbles across this -
the extra .swf files (which contain the skin for the player) need
to be in the same directory as the .html doc which is displaying
the video .swf. Hope that helps someone else!

After Effects - Problems with rendering - please help :(

Hello everybody,
i am sorry about my bad english, but i hope    you can help me somehow. I pruchased the Productions Pro Premium from Adobe some time ago.
I created some Layers in Photoshop CS4 and animated them    in After Effects CS4. After that, i rendered a raw file out and imported it    back into After Effects CS4 to save render and preview time. Then the    problems started... my After Effects became laggy and didnt respond for    3-4Seconds. After starting rendering, my PC waited for 10-20 minutes until he    started to render... and longer and later i unchecked the box Write XMP data    in the render settings and the problem has gone. Do you know what i did    wong or why that happens? It has something to do with my losless rendered    .Avis and XMP Metadata... the strange thing is, that this doesnt happens always and with every clips, but maybe there is an anwser for me...
I got a W7 Os and my PC is very strong with    an i7 cpu and 6gbs of ram..
I hope you can help me..
Best    Regards

Problem with rendered tables in JHeadstart 10.1.3.3.87

Hi,
We have recently upgraded from Jhs 10.1.3.3.52 to 10.1.3.3.87 (using JDev 10.1.3.4.0.4270) and have run into a problem with a window using regions. We have horizontal region containers, vertical region containers, stacked region containers and detail group regions. The tables in these containers/regions are not rendering at all. When I compared the .jspx pages of both versions of Jhs I noticed the 10.1.3.3.52 version had the following code (which works) as
<af:panelGroup rendered="#{(bindings.AwardView1Iterator.*currentRowIndexInRange!=-1* and bindings.AwardView1Iterator.findMode!='true')}" id="AwardView1DetailGroupsBelow" partialTriggers="AwardView1Table">
and the 10.1.3.3.87 version had the following code as
<af:panelGroup rendered="#{(bindings.AwardView1Iterator.*currentRow!=null* and bindings.AwardView1Iterator.findMode!='true')}" id="AwardView1DetailGroupsBelow" partialTriggers="AwardView1Table">
the problem seems to be in the following line in the horizontalRegionContainer.vm and stackedRegionContainer.vm -
#JHS_PROP("rendered" $subRegion.rendered)
as in line 33 of the horizontalRegionContainer.vm - <af:panelGroup #REGION_PARTIAL_TRIGGERS($subRegion) *#JHS_PROP("rendered" $subRegion.rendered)* id="#REGION_ID()${subRegion.name}PanelGroup" and
as in line 32 of the stackedRegionContainer.vm - <af:showDetailItem text="#REGION_TITLE($subRegion)" *#JHS_PROP("rendered" $subRegion.rendered)* #JHS_PROP("disabled" $subRegion.disabled) #REGION_PARTIAL_TRIGGERS($subRegion) id="#REGION_ID()${subRegion.name}Tab">
has anyone run into a similar problem?
thanks,
Lana

Thanks Steven!
We appreciate the reply and this solution. Could you, or anyone, point us in the direction of helpful documentation with respect to Velocity Templates. We don't really have as good an understanding as we would like, and most of our customizations are our best guess.
Thanks very much.

Problem with rendering my project

Hello,
today I tried to render my latest project in Premiere Pro CS6 to upload it to youtube. With an estimated file size of ~2 Gigabytes I started the rendering process and waited for it to finish (about 50 minutes).
After it had finished with rendering I checked the file and what I saw was a 35 Megabytes file with the worst video quality one can even imagine. What is wrong with my premiere pro -.-
I've put many time and effort in my project and now it doesn't render properly. The interesting thing is that the preview in the full resolution inside my premiere pro application looks way better than the rendering result. WTF!?
Later I tried the option "render workspace" which took just about the same time (about 50 minutes) and brought me 7 rendered video previews... summed up 40 Gigabytes.
I am like kinda mad and sad at the same time and really can't figure out what is wrong. Please help me.
Here are my Output settings:
H.264 codec
1920 * 1080
29,97 FPS
high profile and 5.1
Bitrate: I tried everything from 8 to 100 (output always about ~40 Megabytes)
maximum depth
and maximum render quality
Please mention it if you need more information about this as I will be happy to provide detailed information and excuse my bad english, it isn't my mother tongue.

Yeah, but as you could may imagine i watched the render result
I could just go ahead and render it in 240p same result... Its way off in points of quality even compared to the preview on the top right
I mean I am not using premiere pro for the first time and this is the first time that i have to encounter this kind of problem. maybe I should try to render some of my old projects to see if they too result in 45 Mb ****** videos.
Someone help me

Trimming tool problems with merged clips

I'm trying to edit a filmstyle sequence with merged clips (created video and audio synched, then merged into new clips). This works fine, except when I try to trim edits in the sequence - the trim tool works, but the picture in the left and right trim windows jump to different parts of the clips being trimmed, and do not show the correct frames being trimmed. The trim tool works fine when used with unmerged clips, but somehow can't seem to work with the synched up clips
The footage being edited was shot on RED and is in pro rez 4:4:4 format.
Has anyone else experienced this problem? Is this a bug, or is there a way around this? Thanks for any pointers...

I created a new user account and trashed my preferences and I have the same problems. I created a new project, and new sequences. Same problems.
It only happens with 23.98 (batch reverse telecined using Cinema Tools) NTSC DV clips that have been merged with separate 24-bit 48 khz Quicktime audio clips (converted from BWF using BWF2XML). Clips that were captured from the tape with audio and video simultaneously don't have this problem. The discrepancies between the actual amounts trimmed and the white numbers in the trim windows are consistent. If it's off by 6:10 on a clip, every time I try to trim that clip it will be off by the same amount. But the number varies from clip to clip. It's generally 5-8 seconds.
If I try to trim only the audio, I don't have any trouble. If I trim the audio and video at the same time I don't have any trouble. It's only when I trim the video on its own. If I use the original video clip before it's merged with an audio track then it trims fine. If I cut the merged clip into a sequence then delete the audio track from the sequence the problem remains.

Problems with movie clips in time line-program keeps quiting

Not sure if I love this new iMovie version. I have imported many clips with my Sony Digital Hi 8. No problem with past versions. Everything went good until trying to put the clips into the time line. Everytime I try working with the time line and the imported movie clips the program quits...every time. Is this normal. Its getting pretty frusterating.
Thanks for any help.
Shane

I feel your pain in that the same things are happening to us. My wife is trying to edit many video clips imported from a Panasonic PV - GS39. iMovie crashes constantly when trying to work with this particular project. I have successfully edited a project that consisted of mainly still pics with only a few short video clips thrown in. I've tried many of the suggestions from this discussion group (QT plugs, trashing prefs, etc...) with no success. I'll keep trying for a solution though.

Problems with Rendering - Freezing at %50

Hi there
Windows 7
8gb RAM
Intel Core i7 930
Nvideo Gefore GTX 480
I've been having problems with my Premiere Pro CS4 renders. I've recently rendered Photoshop based graphics with LOTS of layers in an HD format without problem.
But now working with 1080p AVCHD, I've been having issues. I've had 2results:
1.) Doing a small chunk (about 450 frames), it has frozen at %50 3 times in a row.
2.) Doing a bigger chunk, it completed the render but then didn't update the sequence window with the green line, playback wasn't working and then moments later the whole program froze.
My exports work completely fine though, just not the renders.
my only thought is, is that I specified I'd be working at 1080i30 (60i) because I'm 90% sure that's what the video was shot in, but maybe I was wrong.

I lied, 30p is just as bad... I can only do 1 opacity fade or 1 video transition.. once I do 2, Premiere stutters and pauses on the transtion, then gets unstuck but the video goes into hyper speed for a second.
I tried updating video card and changing audio, no success.
I have a feeling it's CS4, Adobe rushed CS4 with AVCHD support to get quick sales... the really AVCHD support is in CS5... I mean... Adobe forgot to put in the LPCM audio codec which is AVCHDs main audio codec and is an audio codec that has been around since the 80s...
Frustrating, any other suggestions? I think I'm going to have to reformat, and do a driver by driver/codec by codec installation... maybe I installed a codec I shound't have or something.
*edit*
Also, I'm 90% sure that when trying to render effects, it's the video transitions that Adobe Premiere is getting stuck on during the render... It doesn't make any sense, I can playback the transitions but I can't render them? I can play through one transition completely fine if there is only 1 transition in the entire project, but if I have 2 then all the transitions become choppy?
Like I'm only doing BASIC cut, paste, copy, transition video editing here...

How do I split a single event with many clips into multiples events, one event per date?

I archived the video from my AVCHD camera into a Final Cut video archive. Later I imported this into iMovie. All the clips from this archive (spanning several months) are dumped into a single event. If I recall, older versions of iMovie would import video into separate events for each day. Then I would go through and give each event a meaningful name (e.g., "Mary's Birthday").
This is what I would like. Is there a way to split this very long event into multiple events, one for each day that is present in the event?

Not automatically but with imovie 10 you can create new events with any name you like then move clips into them from other events (Just like FCP 10.1). See:
http://help.apple.com/imovie/mac/10.0/#mov1d890f00b
You can also choose to display clips in an event grouped by date.

Problems with sending IDocs into R/3 using BPM

Hi Vishnu,
as I have read the forum, you have experience with sending IDocs into R/3 from XI using the BPM.
Did you have problem, that this sending takes very long time?
My BPM splits the xml, sends IDoc into R/3 immediately, but the processing of the 2nd IDoc takes 6-10 minutes!
Do you have any idea, what could be wrong?
Thanx 4 answer, Peter

Vishnu, I was discussing this problem in another thread, but no helpful answer was sent, and I have read, that you have experience, so - just for explanation
Well,
yes, this situation is really strange.. New facts are:
when I send into XI XML, which is splitted in the BPM only into 1 IDoc, it is processed immediately. When I send there XML for 2 IDocs, the first is processed immediately, the 2nd starts immediately, but end of process is after 6-10 minutes, it depends... Then I tried to send there XML for 10 IDocs - and now attention please! 5 of them have been processed almost immediately, 5 of them after 8 minutes... The last test was with 16 items - 6 processed immediately, 10 after 10 minutes... And all these 10 minutes was my 4 processor XI box unavailable, with over 60% load... But finally the IDocs arrive!!
Any explanation???
This is really unbelievable situation!
Port name is SAPDEV, rfc destination DEVCLNT100
Actually, when I was creating the scenarion using the wizard and trying to add my communication channel(IDoc type) to receiver agreement, I got error - communication channel is not configured correctly, use another one. But somewhere I read, that I should create the receiver agreement manually. So I did.
To my BPM:
-receive MSG
-switch (but I'm testing only one branch now) - and the MSG message is always passed here, it's ok
-then I have transformation to MultiMSG (message with multiple DATA for multiple IDOCS)
-then comes the split mapping Multi2SingleMSG
-then ForEach Block with sending the Single MSG
this is the end of the BPM, and outside the BPM comes the mapping Single2IdocMSG and sending the IDoc into R/3
before I had the Single2Idoc mapping in the BPM, but thought, that this could be the bottleneck, so moved the mapping after the BPM... It didn't help...
So, what do you say?
Peter
