Issue with "Reimporting from Cameras /Camera Archives"

I'm testing to see if I can save disk storage space by archiving events that have the Original Media files deleted. I created a test project and event, and imported clips from a P2 card and from Final Cut Camera Archives. Once I placed some clips on the timeline, I quit FCPX and in the Finder I trashed the files from the Original Media folder. Then I re-opened FCPX and saw the usual red 'missing file' clips in the event browser and the timeline. I then selected the event with the missing file clips, went to the File menu to Import > Reimport from Camera /Archive command and found that it reimported the files from the P2 card, but didn't reimport the clips that came from the Camera Archives. When I retry, it says: "Nothing to Reimport - all of the selected clips have their original media in place or were not originally imported from a camera." When I try to select the clips individually, the Reimport from Camera /Archive command is grayed out. the clips were imported from the same Camera Archives, so I don't know why it doesn't find the Archives file to reimport? They are availble for FCPX to see, since I can see them mounted in the Import Window. The 2 Camera Archive files I used for the test clips came from 1. Canon 5D CF card to Camera Archive and 2. DVCPRO Tape to Camera Archive. I don't know if I'm missing something or is there a known bug with this feature? I haven't used the reimport feature until now. Thanks for any input on this.

Hi Tom,
maybe you're thinking of the "Relink Event Files" command? I tried that, and it takes you to a window that searches for files with the same name of the original files, which were deleted from the event to save space for archiving purposes. I thought the purpose of using the FCPX camera archiving was supposed to automatically find and reimport these original media files. Oh well, I guess my testing shows that I better not delete the original files if I want to restore the project at a later date. Too bad that it has to be stored twice - as camera archives and in the event (although I know you can use the duplicate project feature to create a new event for archiving that will eliminate media files not used in the final project).

The 'Reimport from Camera / Archive' button does not appear in my file menu.

My last attempt to import material from my camera was interupted so not all the footage was imported to iMovie. I have re-attached the camera to try and reimport and the message on iMovie says that I should select the 'Reimport from Camera / Archie' option from the File Menu. Unfortunately, there is no such option in my file menu. I am using the latest version of iMovie 10.0 and my camera is a Panasonic HX-DC3. Help?

i wasn't even interupted, it told me it had imported everything from my gopro then i aimlessly went onto edit. ejected the gopro, went down stairs. came up to continue only to find half of the vids missing from the project screen. telling me the file was missing as it was still on the camera. so i went to import again. it told me done. no not done still on camera only. then when i go to consolidate event files it tells me they are already there. no not there. i went to share finish project (after pluging gopro back in and finishing project with half the vids in the libary and the other half stillon the camera) it lets me share to the new iMovie theater but when i go to youTube it it tells me it cant as half of the files are still on the camera.
i hover over the camera icon on the video file in the project screen where it pops up a info window telling to reimport from camera/archive......... from the file/menu...
hm hmmmm
nowhere to be found.
think you forgot a few things apple.........
fix it up

Reimport from camera crashes

İ finish my movie edit but İ cannot export it.
İt says This item cannot be shared while it is still referencing media on the camera
the solution i can find is reimport from camera but when it starts to reimport, it errors and crashes every time.
How can i get rid of the crash? is there a way?

Try making a camera archive and then rreimporting from it.

Issues with importing from excel

I have been running into a several issues with importing from Excel.
First my configuration
I am running SQL Developer ver 1.5.5 Build MAIN-5969
I am on a Windows XP Professional Version 2002 with Service Pack 3
I am importing into an Oracle 10g database.
1. SQL Developer doesn't work on Excel 2007, I have to save all my files into Excel 97-2003 format before I can use them.
2. If I run into an error loading and stop the process, SQL Developer doesn't release the Excel file and I get a sharing violation if I try to save the spreadsheet without closing SQL Developer.
3. I have found that I have to set print area to the area I want to work with, otherwise the import wizard tries to keep adding rows.
4. When using the Import wizard, it keeps adding commas on fields with numerics unless I specify the column in excel as text. Currently the column is formatted as General in the spreadsheet or I can change the wizard format to say the column is an integer, but it actually is just a code field with numeric characters so it may have leading zeroes that I need to keep.
This might be related,
I have a column in excel defined as text but only contains numerics. It is of length 4, but the wizard sets a precision of 5 with a datatype of VARCHAR2. If I try to change it to 4, I get an error saying the field is not large enough. Yet, when I do a LEN on the column, it only gives me a 4. I have other fields in the same sheet that a 3 position numeric and 2 position numeric and those are fine. I am thinking this is related to the comma being inserted in a numeric field for anything greater than 3 positions.
5. Importing excel dates to oracle dates doesn't work. I have to convert the excel date column to text then import as a VARCHAR, then convert to Date once in the database.
6. The default of nullible is not set on any columns and I have to set them before the import. (I would prefer it set to nullible and I have to uncheck the box to make it not nullible. I would prefer to import all of the data and then deal with the nulls after they have been pulled in)
7. When I select header columns included it uses that as the column names. Is it possible to do the name length check then? It has bit me a few times where I try to import and forget to check the name length and then I get an error when I start running the import.
8. If one of the columns to import has all nulls, then the precision comes out to 0 and if it isn't changed an error occurs on import. Could this situation default to a precision of 1?
9. It would be nice if there was a completion message displayed and a cancel option while running.

On point 3.
I have a column in excel that consists of numbers. 4 digit numeric codes. Ex, 1111, 2345, etc
The column's format is general. It displays as just 4 numbers.
When I start the wizard initially, the column appears with data as 1,111, 2,345, etc, on the Data Preview screen.
It determines the precision to be 5 on the column definition screen.
If I change the precision to 4 then continue, that field will error out when I verify with "not big enough to hold the data in source columns"
If, I change the excel column to a TEXT column.
Excel still displays as 1111, 2345, etc
The wizard then displays the same data 1111, 2345 on the Data Previeiw screen
Yet, when I get to the column definition screen it still sizes it as a 5
If I change it to a 4, I get the same error when verifying.
If I leave them alone as 5, then it processes just fine.

My "undo" command does not work in the new version of GB. Please advise. This is a real problem. I had no issues with GB from iLife 11.

Most likely you have Office 2004 which are PPC-only applications and will not work in Lion. Upgrade to Office 2011. Other alternatives are:
Apple's iWork suite (Pages, Numbers, and Keynote.)
Open Office (Office 2007-like suite compatible with OS X.)
NeoOffice (similar to Open Office.)
LibreOffice (a new direction for the Open Office suite.)

Issues with my AVCHD camera connecting to iMovie 08 with upgrade to Leopard

I have 2 Intel Mac's and both experience identical problems. when connecting via USB, the finder mounts and sees the camera (AVCHD hard disk camera) but iMovie doesn't respond. When I click on "Import from Camera" it uses the iSight camera. The camera iMovie 08 and Tiger all got along in harmony. WIth Leopard there seems to be an issue as iMovie can't seem to make the connection. Anyone else experiencing this?
I have tried the usual, unplug, re-start, different usb cable, plugging the camera in with iMovie open then again with the app. closed, connecting the camera with power off then turning the power on, having the power on and plugging into the computer all resulting in the same outcome: Mounts in the finder not in iMovie 08. Both iMovie and Leopard have fully been updated to the most recent versions.

Issue was the battery. I needed to not only plug in the camera but remove the battery too!

Your Experience With Direct-From-Camera Hard Disc Recorders

I've been exploring purchasing a FireStore camera-mounted hard disc recorder, and was wondering if anyone has any experience using one of these devices.
Right now I'm wary of them, due to the fact that I would want to have the time code on my video tapes perfectly synchronized with the time code on the disc's video files, so I could use FCP to re-capture the footage later if necessary. It seems unlikely that they are capable of maintaining this synchronization, especially if you wanted to review a shot in the field.
Thanks,
Zap

Zap...be wary. Be VERY WARY of these devices. Among issues with this device are the fact that because it is formatted FAT-32 you only get 2GB file sizes...little over 2 min chunks of video. And during the transition from one 2GB file to the next, between 1 and 5 frames are dropped...lost...not recorded.
I highly recommend the P2 card and ONLY the P2 cards. When the video switches from one card to the second, not one frame is lost.
And a recapture with this format isn't a re-capture per se, but a re-import. Because you save the original files that the HVX records on separate hard drives than your media drives. The footage is imported.
Have you seen my tutorial?
Firestore is a bad idea. Cineporter...if it ever sees the light of day, might be an option.

Import from camera archive without copying files?

I created a few camera archives from DV tapes. Is there a way to import footage from the archive without copying (duplicating) the files into the Events Folder? The option is greyed out on the import window.
When I open the archive package contents I can see all the .mov files, so I'm hoping there's a way to create a reference file instead of duplicating the file. I'm trying to save some hard drive space.
Thanks.

When you are copying from a hard drive that does not access the camera import function of the import window. The purpose of an archive is as a backup, to keep a separate set of media which cannot get corrupted by use or computer or drive failure. Generally it's in a separate drive from that used directly in production.

Render issues with footage from Color

I'll start off by noting that this issue only happens running Snow Leopard.
I am having terrible problems when trying to apply and render some effects on footage which has come from Color…specifically, the Bad Film filter. Either at the render completion or during the render, I'll get all sorts of "screen draw" problems, like green and pink pixels everywhere. Sometimes they will only appear in the Canvas window, but if I launch any other app, the new app's is nothing but the screen error and the app is useless, thought I think it still functions, though useless to the point that I'm only left with having to restart. Occasionally, it'll throw that error telling me I must restart (in several different languages). I have occasionally had success with very short clips, but anything much more than 30 seconds is useless. I would think this is a hardware issue; however, it only happens under Snow Leopard and is not an issue with Leopard.
I have performed a clean install from a zeroed disk with both 10.5 and 10.6 and upgraded to the latest point release. I'm not really sure where to go from here. Has anyone experienced anything like this? I have the early 2008 8-core 2.8GHz Mac Pro with 16Gigs of RAM and two monitors connected to the ATI HD 2600 XT. I've also tried rebooting to just one monitor, but no dice. I've run hardware tests from TechTools that came with my ACD's AppleCare and all appears rosy. Real Time effects seem to work just fine and I don't have issues with all effects that require rendering. Most befuddling, I'm having no issue on clips that have not first gone through Color. Strange, huh?

Sorry about that.... The footage is ProRes422 1440x1080 going into Color and ProRes422 1920x1080 coming out. I've tried exporting at 8-bit Uncompressed out of Color with the same results.
Originally, this is 24p footage from an HV20 taken to ProRes via this: http://support.apple.com/kb/HT2410 method.
I'm still just not sure why this only happens in Snow Leopard, while everything works peachy in Leopard, though I think you may be on the right track with this being an FxPlug filter. I know I would occasionally get messages stating, basiclly, "Your GFX card is a wimp, these filters won't work" when trying 10-bit sequences under Leopard, thus I tried the 8-bit setting with this issue and all without any luck. I'll will try "Light Rays" and "Bloom" this evening to see if I get the same result.
To make this stranger still, Bad TV seems to render just fine, as far as I can recall, only Bad Film give me problems. I suppose this particular filter may not be compatible with my configuration. Perhaps, I shoud be getting that message instead of a crash.

Oracle 10g - issue with "DELETE from TABLE WHERE ID in (1,2,3)" (cfqueryparam used)

Hello, everyone.
I am having issues with running a DELETE statement on an Oracle 10g database.
DELETE
FROM tableA
WHERE ID in (1,2,3)
If there is only one ID for the IN clause, it works. But if more than one ID is supplied, I get an "SQL command not properly ended" error message. Here is the query as CF:
DELETE
FROM TRAINING
WHERE userID = <cfqueryparam cfsqltype="CF_SQL_VARCHAR" value="#trim(form.userID)#">
AND TRAINING_ID in <cfqueryparam value="#form.trainingIDs#" cfsqltype="CF_SQL_INTEGER" list="yes">
Anyone work with Oracle that can help me with this? I'm an experienced MS-SQL developer; Oracle is new to me.
Thanks,
^_^

Nevermind.. a co-worker just told me that I still have to use parenthesis around the values for the IN clause.

I also have a question regarding dimensions. I have a model in PAS which has data from different data sources (BW and excel). In excel I have dimensions which are not loaded from BW (they don't exist there). How to create such dimenison?
Thank you a lot in advance.
Best regards,
Petra

Petra,
The Forum isn't really designed as a training system but rather where people can share questions or get a separate pair of eyes to look afresh at issues that aren't working for some reason. This is particularly the case for something which is as important as creating dimensions.
The idea of the SSM Cube Builder/Model Designer was to enable people to build models with their relevant dimensions and metrics for demos and simple initial systems using manual data entry. If you are getting into building dimensions that will be outside BW then you are moving into the implementation arena rather than demo creation and need to work carefully so that things tie up.
I doubt people would expect to be able to set up/implement BW without training and SSM is the same.
If you would like training or would like to collaborate on a first project to enable skills transfer then my colleague Pedro and I would be happy to discuss this. We have done this with other people and it has worked well.
Regards
Colin

Quality issues with calls from US to Korea

I've always been a big fan of Skype. I have a premium account and I use "Skype to go" to call from the US to South Korea. Starting about 5 months ago, the quality of these calls has severely degraded. It is almost not worth the call. It is very difficult for me to hear the people I've called and for them to hear me as well. There is no Skype customer support contact phone number listed anywhere on the Skype website that I can find. Otherwise, I'd be addressing this issue with a real person. Is there a reason for this call quality degradation? Is there a fix in work? Is there a customer service number I can call? Is it time for me to leave Skype?

rates are available on http://www.skype.com/en/rates/ just enter Itay in the destination and check the rates lower down the page.
If you are going to make a lot of calls - check the subscriptions available too...
There are subscriptions that include landlines and mobiles as well

BO XI issues with properties from BPC

Hi all,
I post again my message (it was not in the good forum) and I complete with answers to Andrey.
We created an universe on a BPC cube, after creation, we see all the properties of the dimension, but this is impossible to see the values of the properties, only their names.
Andrey asked "What do you mean by "to see the values of the properties""
What I mean is that if we make a request with WEBI on the universe, then we cannot see the values of the properties, ie I cannot see the value of the property "EVDESCRIPTION" in my request for example.
My colleague is trying to make a request that displays some accounts in line with the description of the account for example, and we can only see the ID of the account, but the EVDESCRIPTION property is empty each time, and this is the same with all properties of all dimensions.
Did someone already encounter this issue ?
Thanks

Post from thread: Re: BO reporting on top of BPC NW
Problem during Query development:
1. If we put unverse's dimension (in terms of BO) to Query and then execute query we can see the data from the dimension.
2. BUT
when we add an object "Measure" (for example YTD) to "Dimension" and run query - we have no data returned back. (even just Dimension data).
I found this issue documented in SAP note 1495455
It says:
Symptom
Business Objects Enterprise report has been created using the ODBO provider delivered with BPC 7.5 NW.
Report works well with only dimensions retrieved.
Same report using measures, gives error:
" The 'No data to retrieve. Query 1' "
Environment
BPC 7.5 NW.
Cause
This is because of the default behavior of ODBO provider.
If no restriction on any dimension, the ODBO provider takes the default member of a dimension to build the query.
The default member is the first member along a hierarchy.
The original ODBO comment is:
"We loop through our contexts and for each context, we create a
fully-qualified tuple consisting of the member as specified in the
context followed by the default member(s) of the
hierarchy(s) on the slicer axis as derived above."
Resolution
So the cube does not have transaction data and the WebI reports the no data message.
This is not a bug.
I took this to mean that you need to set a filter on each dimension (class in the Universe). Once I did this, I was able to get data.
