Issues with capturing clips.

when i capture clips witht he hidef 1080i60 apple codec it cuts each clip at the scene. instead of one 62 minute clip. how can i change this.

That's the way FCE captures & treats HDV material. It's a change from the way FCE works with DV material.
One can only guess why Apple made that change w/r/t HDV video but I suspect that they not only got a lot of feedback from users who wanted it that way but also considered how very large a 62-minute 1080i60 HDV file could be (49GB ... Bueller .... Bueller .... anyone ... anyone?) and decided that it would be better disk (and risk) management to create smaller files representing individual shots.

Audio Sync Issues with Long Clip

I am about to start editing a multi-cam concert shot on 5 DVX100 cameras without Jam sync TC.
In the past i have had issues with sync when digitizing long clips. is this still the case with FCP? Can i safely digitize 45-60min clips?
I am using a Pro-sumer Panasonic MiniDV Deck for capture. (it is on FCP's 'suppported devices' list)
on the avid i would digitize full tapes to make the Grouping (Multi-clipping) much faster. I want to avoid capturing a bunch of small clips on FCP and then sync them individually.
any info is greatly appreciated.

DEAD ON THE MONEY. And yes, you can do it with the HVX. This is a really cool thing. There is a gotcha-- the dvx and hvx have an internal battery that allows for the retention of things like timecode when the camera is off. You gotta be sure that battery is charged. And the way you charge it is to attach the ac adaptor and plug it into the wall with the camera off for an hour or two.
Once all the cameras are running with freerun code, you can swap batteries etc and the code just keeps going.
Another thing- when you set up your camera pile, you've got to stand a couple of feet in front of the pile when you hit the remote so that the signal gets to all the cameras.

Issues with replacing clip in Premiere with After Effects composition

So basically, i want to track a title to a piece of footage, so i've made my ins and outs and my footage is placed on my timeline in premiere with my title over top. Now I select the two pieces in premiere (the title and the clip) and I hit replace with after effects composition, and it ADOBE does it's thing etc.
but now in my AE project window I have two copies of my title file and two copies of my mp4 clip.
two of them are pre loaded into my timeline and the appropriate ins/outs which is perfect but I can't seem to do anything like tracking to them,
in my project window AE is referring to the ones that show up in the timeline as "compositions" while the extra files that aren't in the timeline are "mp4" and "psd" (the actual file types)
now. if i just delete the two "compositions" that are masquerading as files in my timeline and drag down my mp4 / psd then my tracking becomes available and all is wonderful
EXCEPT
my in's and out's from premiere aren't there and I have to go about all of that all over again and it's very annoying
any ideas?

Copy that! Thanks for the help as it is!
I'll likely have to do as you suggested in the interest of my turnaround but if anyone else out there has any suggestions for my original question of utilizing the dynamic link between PP and AE without the issue mentioned I'd be super stoked!

Can anyone help me out of this.

Excellent Eitan,
Here is what I am trying to Achieve.
In Create Notification IW21 , They need 5 Long Text in Custom Tab ( Say Tab Name is MBR ).
TAB1 NOTIFICATION Standard Information , TAB2 REFERENCE OBJ , TAB 3 MalFunction , Breakdown Standard one...... TAB 7 ( Custom Tab ).
In Custom Tab , I added 5 LONG TEXT ( its 5 WHY Concept ).
When the User enters data in 5 Long text , it should store long text along with Notification number when save.
But Notification number will be generated @ the time of SAVE , but before that its just shows as
%0000000001 ( and Number will be generated 1000065479) at Save.
How to achive this .
I did this:
Added 5 Custom Container. and In PBO / PAI
PROCESS BEFORE OUTPUT.
MODULE STATUS_0100.
PROCESS AFTER INPUT.
MODULE USER_COMMAND_0100.
IN PBO
   CREATE OBJECT TEXT_EDITOR1 ,    CREATE OBJECT TEXT_EDITOR2,    CREATE OBJECT TEXT_EDITOR3 like wise 5
   CALL METHOD TEXT_EDITOR1->SET_TEXT_AS_R3TABLE ,    CALL METHOD TEXT_EDITOR2->SET_TEXT_AS_R3TABLE .. Like wise 5 , So when the user Click on Custom Tab ( MBR ).
It give 5 Long text.
When he click tab1 or tab2 or tab3 .. and again tab MBR , still data is available.
How to store this data for future retrival ( IW22 or IW23 ) ?
Its working fine when I enter first time and goes here and there and finall save .
IN SAVE BADI , I imported the Long text and created Standard Text SO10 with Notification Number with LONG1 , LONG2 .. means 1000065479LONG1 as standard text.
But not working when I entered first time and go to tab1 and tab2 and then to MBR tab and added few more lines , its not exporting full lines and in IMPORT ( SAVE BADI ) giving ZERO Lines.
Please help and thanks for your quick response.

Issues with Sound Clip.getMicrosecondPosition in Mac OS X

Hi All
I am trying to implement sound player in Java as following.
public void play() throws Exception
        AudioInputStream stream = AudioSystem.getAudioInputStream( new FileInputStream(new File(m_path)));
        AudioFormat format = stream.getFormat();
        DataLine.Info info = new DataLine.Info( Clip.class, stream.getFormat(), ((int)stream.getFrameLength()*format.getFrameSize()));
        soundClip = (Clip) AudioSystem.getLine(info);
        soundClip.open(stream);
        soundClip.addLineListener(new LineListener() {
            public void update(LineEvent event) {
                if (event.getType() == LineEvent.Type.STOP)
                    System.out.println("playcomplete event: " + soundClip.getMicrosecondPosition());
               soundClip.start();
    }'soundClip' is instance of javax.sound.sampled.Clip.
After completion of play LineEvent.Type.STOP event is fired.
Method call soundClip.getMicrosecondPosition() displays the proper values in windows but in Mac OSX it always prints 0.
Did any face the similar issue?
Do we have any other approach to know whether the sound play is finished?
Please help me out
Thanks in advance

MacOS is notoriously bad for support for JavaSound as Apple (1) rolls their own JVM (2) doesn't like for things to compete with their products, AKA QuickTime...
Your best bet would be to handle the playing yourself at the Mixer level, and then you'll know you're done playing when you're done writing (plus whatever time it takes to finish playing the buffer, which you can just code a static delay for if you'd like)

Issue with Capture Task Option showing correctly in MDT 2013

I am aware that having the variable of DomainJoin will prevent the capture dialog from appearing when running the task. The problem is, even when the options are greyed out due to the domain settings not being applied from a different setting in the workflow
it still breaks the task.
E.G.
I am using the database, and have my workflow as such:
[Settings]
Priority=Model, TaskSequenceID, LSettings, CRoles, RApps, LApps, MMApps, MMSettings, Default
Properties=MyCustomProperty
DataBase:
Location Settings: Overall settings for Domain join, wizard skips, etc info per gateway
Role Apps: Apps per role
Make/Model Apps: Apps specific to a piece of hardware
CustomSettings INI:
Model/Task Sequence/Default: I have tried to null out the DomainJoin settings with these variables by adding workgroup join by task ID, Model, etc and nothing seems to work. I've verified in other tasks
that these settings take place of what's in the DB, but the DB settings are still there, greyed out and causing an issue.
[X86SYSANDCAP]
JoinDomain=
JoinWorkgroup=WORKGROUP
[VMware Virtual Platform]
JoinDomain=
JoinWorkgroup=WORKGROUP
As shown below the model/TS specify the workgroup (1st pic is normal deploy, 2nd is cap) but the greyed out settings are still having an effect. Skip Capture is set to NO at each level, and when I remove the Domain from the DB it shows up correctly.
Not sure what to do besides removing the domain everytime I want to do a capture, which seems a bit unreasonable and I don;t want my T1s in the DB.

I highly recommend to always use the standard Client task sequence for a build and capture. Much more reliable.

CC 2014 is running into issues with some clips on my timeline and the export gives an unexpected error.

What gets me is that the clips I narrowed the issues down to are from the same camera and same settings from the rest. It gives the error in h.264(any preset even match source), Quicktime, and even match sequence and match I can however get it to export with AVI- DV widescreen 24p but thats only SD. This is 1080 footage. Ive also cleaned my cache and tried exporting with max bit depth and mrq off/on.

Gspot gives limited info and does not analyse mts, I find media info much better.

Issues with movie clips...

Hi. I am attempting to generate a simple site using Flash 10 and AS3.
I have 7 navigation buttons along the left side of the stage, all with varying colors.
Clicking any of the buttons triggers the color of the button to bleed out over the stage, eventually covering the background color so it matches the color of the button.
I am using AS to go to frame X and play, with a stop frame at the end of the animation (once the color has covered the entire stage).
(Button 1 triggers an animation which runs from frame 2 to 32, Button 2 triggers an animation which runs from 33 to 63, and so on...)
For instance, the default background color is a dark grey, and when I click on the green button, a green circle grows until it is larger than the stage, making the background green.
The issue that I am having is when you click on a second button, the background returns to the default (grey) and then runs the animation.
I would like the animation to play over the last frame of the current section.
I think movie clips might be the answer, but I couldn't configure the buttons to trigger them.
Any assistance would be greatly appreciated,

What you could try is to have a movieclip behind the circles animation that only has as many frames as you do background colors and have that fill the stage. When a circle animation occurs... only the circles, remove any background in that animation... as soon as it is done you have the other movieclip move to a frame where the colors match. That way, when the circle animation moves to a new frame to animate again, the existing color is present due to the movieclip behind.

Issue with capturing mini-dv video

Hello, im trying to capture video using my 27" iMac, Mid 2010 and i would like to ask a few questions:
1. has anyone encountered issues (capture stop) while capturing video from Mini-dv tapes using a similar to mine iMac?
2. how do you capture video from mini-dv tapes with your iMac?

think you mean import
most people connect the cam to their computer and import into iphoto, imovie or video capture
most people connect it by firewire or usb

Issues with captured video

I just recently captured a video with the application iShowU and it's a .mov file. For some reason I cannot see the video component of the video, but I can hear everything. Yet on my friend's computer he can watch the complete video. I have OS 10.5.4 with Quicktime Pro 7.5.5 and my friend is the same. What is up?

See if this sheds some light:
http://discussions.apple.com/thread.jspa?messageID=11196064&#11196064
FCPro can handle native HDV and it does not break clips depending on the settings. FCE will split clips every time.
We are assuming HDV is being used. Can you confirm?

Issue with Premiere Clip XML

I've followed the directions for editing a Clip Project in Pro. However, when I got to import the XML file I get the following message, "The Project could not be loaded, it may be damaged or contain outdated elements." I can see the clips, I can play the clips individually, just can't import the project into Pro. Thoughts or suggestions?
Thanks,
Steve

Stefan,
Boy, this is getting weirder by the minute!
Ok. First off, here’s the screen shot I mentioned in our previous conversation.
After I send that, or thought I send it, I went back to test a few more things. I wondered if I could import one of my ‘Clip’ clips into a new project and play the video. Nope.
Now I need to mention that I had rolled back PRO to a previous version as you suggested, but when I went to open one of my template files that I use to streamline my workflow I got the message about it being made with a previous version and so forth. The CLIP project was just for fun, and I’d rather have my primary workflow in tack so I rolled back to the latest version of PRO.
Back to today. So I thought, let’s see what happens when I open on of my completed PRO projects. I now am getting this:
So I go back and do a complete uninstall of PRO, reboot, clean the registry and reinstall PRO. Open a prevision project and get the message stating I need to update the project to the latest version and resave. Do so, project opens, missing links, and select keep them offline, I just want to test that I have audio in PRO. However, I find all my media is offline, so I close project, and PRO, restart latest version and am once again getting:
So, now I can’t seem to use CLIP or PRO. Argh!!
Sincerely,

CS3 issue with ProRes files with projects over 8bpc

Strange issue with ProRes clips I have had in AE projects in the past. Running CS3 on an Intel Mac with 10.5.8. If I bring an SD clip encoded in ProRes and I have the project set to anything over 8bit (16 or float) the clip just turns to noise, both in a comp and in the project viewer window. I can open the clip in AE (double click) and it appears just fine, same with just opening from the desktop. HD clips encoded into ProRes don't have any issue. The strange thing is that I have had some of this material in past projects with no problem. Nothing has really changed on this box since this cropped up. I've trashed prefs and resaved interpretation rules file, with no success. I also stripped out QT components to make sure I was not having a codec conflict. Has anyone run into something similar?
I have a very similar set up at home and I am not having any issue with these same files.

Todd,
I do not. I did see a post of yours earlier regarding CS5 and AJA. Other issues I should look for?

Blue screen of death, surprise restarts, and some captured clips distorted, with blocky artifacts!

Hello,
I've been using my set-up (Premiere Pro 2.0* with Cineform AspectHD) successfully for years, to capture and edit footage. But just recently, my computer has given me the blue screen of death after capturing for about 5-10 minutes or caused my computer to restart in the middle of capturing. I've also noticed that the resulting captured clips are, in some places, distorted and contain blocky artifacts. It isn't a problem with the tape because the footage plays just fine on the camera's preview monitor. I tried re-installing Premiere Pro 2.0 and Cineform AspectHD, but the problem persisted after a successful, but brief capture session (the resulting clips were still distorted and contained blocky artifacts). I have no idea what the problem is! One solution I attempted was to capture on another computer in my house, using the same software. Although I didn't get the blue screen of death or a surprise restart, the captured clips were still distorted and contained blocky artifacts in some spots. Another option I tried, with the second computer, was deselecting the Scene Detect option in the capture dialogue box. As a result, the captured clips are free of distortion and blocky artifacts, but the problem is that the captured clips are too big and very difficult to manage (I shoot a lot because I'm a filmmaker and I'm in the middle of a big project). Why is this happening?!
Any help with this problem would be greatly appreciated!
*I'd use a later version of Premiere, but I spent a lot of money on Cineform AspectHD and the version of Cineform I have only works with Premiere Pro 2.0.

I agree with John T. BSOD's are most often caused hardware issues, such as overheating of a component, or a failing, or undersized PSU.
Also, general system drivers can cause failure. Often, those are outlined (though maybe not in really adequate detail) in the Event Viewer's log. In that article, that John T. linked to, there is another link to "Finding Clues." It goes into more detail on using Event Viewer to explore warning, or error messages. If your testing of your system's components and heat, do not yield a weak link, see that one (no pun intended). It is in Reply # 3.
Good luck,

OS X LION Issues with Full-Screen; iPhoto, Image Capture & Mail

Hello,
I'm experiencing un-Apple-like issues (bugs) with Lion in Full-Screen mode.
For example - iPhoto doesn't seem to like Full-Screen mode. If iPhoto is open and I connect a camera, for which I prefer Image Capture to retrieve my pics... Image Capture opens 'behind' the full-screen iPhoto, but I can't get to it. Image Capture shows as open on the menu bar in iPhoto's full-screen mode. If I go to the desktop (where it should be opening) Image Capture isn't 'on top' and clicking it takes me back to iPhoto full-screen
Similarly, if I get mail and return to the desktop (the only way to see the dock) and I click on the 'Mail' app icon - I am catapulted into Image Capture... or iPhoto. Returning to the Desktop to click the Mail icon from the dock... takes me to Image Capture... or iPhoto. The 3rd try takes me to the Mail.app which is usually always open and in full-screen mode.
While I'm complaining about bugs, I'd like to mention that I am fully dismayed by the loss of control in full-screen mode when using apps such as Mail or iPhoto. The Mail app opens an email to edit (such as a reply) but you can't access any other mail docs to 'cut and paste' info from. I can only click SEND or CANCEL.
What if I don't want to CANCEL? I just want to go to another email and cut a piece to paste.. I have to exit full-screen mode which allows me to open two email documents at once, then cut and paste. Essentially Mail in Full-Screen is only a reader... not a work area. I can only access the document I have open, since it greys out the Message Viewer. You can't click on the message viewer nor access any of the features of Mail.app. You can only write your email and either Cancel or Send. Where is the 'hold on a second while I go cut and paste'? I don't want to cancel.
Can't seem to use Safari since I'm constantly three-finger swiping it away. My cursor hovers over a text field and suddenly it's zooming in and locks text input. I have to iPhone-like swipe to expand to exit this inadvertent partial (very slight) zoom. Sometimes the zoom is so partial that I can't figure out what's going on until I just exit full-screen mode, close the window and start over.
Seems like I'm starting over and over and over... just to do simple things. Inadvertent zooming, inadvertent 3-finger returning to Desktop, inadvertent changing apps... ugh.
I'm willing to let go of the old and embrace the new future but so far it's been pretty uncomfortable for me to constantly monitor my overly sensitive trackpad gesturing combined with constant bugs and glitches. I'll save complaining about iPhoto's over-simplification (apparently for dummies) like the new Edit menu, Export menu, etc.. since it's more iLife than Lion related. Rate Lion: 2 out of 5 stars for ease of use & features complicated by unrefined software issues.

I've tried follwoing these instructions but I have an issue with
