Issues with WMV HD Editing & Newbie Questions

Hi,
I am new to PE7, so apologies if some of these have been asked b4, I searched but couldn't come up with direct solutions.
I mainly edit HD WMVs, raw HD videos and MPEGs, to be used on PCs and on the internet. Most used output would be HD 1280x720(wmv).
I am having problems with HD WMVs in PE7, they don't seem to play smoothly for editing, clipping etc(choppy and jumpy are the words that come to mind). At first, I thought this was a memory issue( I have 3 gigs on a Vista computer with a Dual Core processor), but then decided to try editing a couple of  HD MPEGs (same size) and these played smoothly, allowing be to make precise splits etc.
What would be the best setting for editing WMV HD files(as I said, mainly 1280x720 input and output)? I tried the HD and AVCHD settings(when starting the new project), no joy. Is there some way to tweak PE7, or adjust the settings when editing WMVs, or in general, is it best to import MPEGs?
Next question  - I am going to be doing quite a lot of editing over the next few months. Do people find Vista or XP more stable to use with PE7 and Premiere Pro and how much memory would be best for optimal perfomance? If I have to get an XP PC for editing, then that's what I'll have to do. Right now, I'm trying out PE7 and I'm sure I'll have to upgrade to Premiere Pro in a few months, so please bear that in mind.
Any other suggestions, tips and useful links, greatly appreciated.
Thanks

PE7 handles HDV MPEG2 natively... so if you look at a clip on the timeline it will have no line above it, if you look at a HD WMV file on the timeline it will have a red line above it. For the HD WMV file to play back smoothly on your computer (depending on how "beefy" your computer is) you will have to hit the Enter key on your keyboard to render the clip. After rendering the clip will play back smoothly and have a green line above it.
If you are editing 1280x720 HD WMV you could use the HDV 720 30p project preset... however whatever project preset you use you will always have the same need to render the clip.
PE7 and PPro works well with either WinXP or Vista. For editing high definition video I would go with 4G RAM (well your computer will only be able to access 3.2G+ of the RAM). More important is the processor, especially if you venture into editing AVCHD. A fast Quad core is ideal.

  • C5.5 Issue with color/colour in matching question drop down list

    Hi is there a way to change the colour of the letters that appear in the drop down lists for a matching question in 5.5?
    I'm using white text on a grey background for my quiz slides, which is nice and easy to read, but then in the preview the letters in the drop down appear as white text on a white background. I can't see a way to change the font in the drop down back to black (as it is on my editing view), without also changing the colour of the answer text.
    Is there a way to change this?
    I've just tried covering the lists over with a chunk of background image - so that the user doesn't even know they're there, but the quiz slide has ordered the image behind the lists.
    Failing there being a way to change the colour, is there a way to have a matching slide without a drop down list at all?
    Thanks for reading
    Lynn

    Hi Shekhar
    Thanks for the extra info - I'd tried changing the properties and using the object style manager before, but hadn't considered using them together.
    This time, I followed your advice and:
    I set the colour for 'Matching entries' to black in the object style manager
    Then went into each column 1 entry and set the text to white
    The result was white text in the column, with black in the list. Much better than before!
    However, when I changed the text in column 2 to white, the list entries became white as well.
    After a lot of experimentation, I've discovered that if you just select the text object and change the colour, you change all the text including the lettering and numbering of the answer - this changes the list colour.
    If you change the text in the answer by highlighting it, this doesn't affect the lettering/numbering, however it still changes the drop down
    To leave the drop down the right colour you need to change the answer colour by highlighting first, but, and the order is vital, you need to insert a space between the letter/number and the answer text first.
    So, the end result I have is that the column 1 text is the right colour, the column 2 text is the right colour and the text in the drop down is the right colour. Unfortunately the lettering for the column 2 answers has to stay the same  as the letters in the drop down list, so they don't show up brilliantly (black on a dark grey background), but it's a massive improvement on the invisible list I had before!
    Thanks again!

  • SSH/PAM login issue with fresh install: edit wiki or raise bug?

    I recently encountered an issue while setting up Arch on a headless server, and was wondering if I did something stupid, the documentation should be improved or I found a bug.
    The problem was that after adding a new non-root user, I couldn't SSH into that user account. I could still login to root via SSH fine. After some research and playing around I found I was able to login by setting UsePAM to no in /etc/ssh/sshd_config. I later realised that this was because I set the login shell for this account to /usr/bin/bash, and not /bin/bash. The problem is that currently /usr/bin/bash is not in /etc/shells, and the default /etc/ssh/sshd_config sets UsePAM to yes.
    As this is a new default install, and I followed the wiki during the install, I feel that this should have been documented somewhere. I don't mind changing the wiki or reporting this as a bug, just I'm not sure which is the correct course of action:
    1. Should I have known to use /bin/bash and not /usr/bin/bash, i.e. the login shell needs to be in /etc/shells? => edit the wiki [1]
    2. Should /usr/bin/bash be in /etc/shells? => raise a bug against filesystem [2]

    The wiki should be changed. /bin/bash is the correct entry in the list of shells.
    I cannot, however, remember off hand in which context this came up. I just remember this was the developers' response. So I can't point you to evidence to confirm even though I do know that is the correct answer.

  • Issue with child node edit on TreeTable

    Hello,
    I have a treeTable which is based on single VO. My problem is such that, when i select the child node and click on edit, i get values of it's parent :( ....
    but when i have once  edit on any node (either rollback/commit) and hit the browser refresh button now it works as expected and no more issue....
    what the heck is that. I have used backingBean scope and i have jdev 11.1.1.3.0
    Thanks

    Hello Frank,
    Thank you so much for the help.. I have 2 iterator as explained in http://www.oracle.com/technetwork/developer-tools/adf/learnmore/sept2011-otn-harvest-508189.pdf .
    As my treeTable is based on single VO , whenever i select a child node and hit the toolbar edit and/or context menu edit, i get parent node info in the edit form. and this happens until i hitting browser refresh. after that it works as expected....
    when selection is made and edit button is clicked i call the managed bean method to call service operation as:
    public void onTreeTableEditClicked(ActionEvent actionEvent)
    Number id = getSelectedIdFromTree(); // my problem is here ... i am getting parent id until once edit is done(either rollback/commit) and browser refresh is hit. after that i am getting selected it.
    if (id!= null)
    OperationBinding opr =
    ADFBindingUtils.getDCBindingContainer().getOperationBinding("selectMyMethod");
    opr.getParamsMap().put("id", id);
    opr.execute();
    _showPopup(getEditPopup());*
    else
    // show warning.
    public Number getSelectedIdFromTree()
    RowKeySet rks2 = myTreeTable.getSelectedRowKeys();
    Iterator rksIterator = rks2.iterator();
    if (rksIterator.hasNext())
    List<Key> list = (List<Key>) rksIterator.next();
    return ((DBSequence) (list.get(list.size() -

    (MYVORowImpl ) pvo.findByKey(new Key(new Object[]
    { new DBSequence(id) }), 1)[0];
    pvo.setCurrentRow(row);
    and the edit popup has value referenced by editIterator...
    Please let me know where i am wrong, or is there something i am missing.

  • Issue with Responsive Theme, Edit Links and IE

    I've built an example of problem I have at work
    Using Theme 25,
    Build a simple app, 1 page - One Level Tabs, Right Sidebar
    Create a default region.
    In the region create a Popup LOV and, on the same row, another item- I've used a Text item
    Lov will work fine.
    Set the page template to allow edit links.
    Now the Lov won't fire.
    I think that the edit links elements have a console.log call - which IE can't handle so it does nothing.

    Can some-one take a look and see if you can come up with a solution. It took a couple of days to spot where the problem seemed to be.

    Known bug, fixed in 4.2.2
    Before then, Edit the Java Script Debug section of the One Level Tabs - Right Sidebar template and remove the three "console.log" entries.

  • Flip4Mac 2.3 (64 Bit) Issues with WMV Exports and Toast - Be Aware

    I was making DVD's from WMV files and noted they encoded rather swiftly in Toast, which seemed great until it was clear that Toast was encoding roughly 1/2 of the WMV file. Not exactly 1/2 , just around 1/2. 20 minutes would be 9, 11, 8 1/2 etc. Pretty random.
    Reverting to 32-bit 2.2.1.1 (or 2.2.3.7 will do too - I could only find the 2.2.1.1 installer quickly) cured the problem.
    F4M entire support area and forums are busted so no chance to contact support yet but be aware that applications using F4M and QT as the engine may not deliver what you expect. So test one file first.
    I have not tried saving into a MOV container first, which might help. Unfortunately I got behind and there were 132 files to encode so open and "save as" 132 times was not in the cards. Not sure it will work, either but I will try and see if it does. Obviously F4M is not getting the time code right on the source videos.
    In QT7 they are playing OK with the right timing, but not Toast.
    If you face this with Studio, you can use the uninstaller in Applications\Flip4mac, then install a lower version and you won't lose your serial number, etc.

    anyone found the fix for this?

  • Display issue with old TV and more questions

    Hi,
    I'm trying to connect my 24" iMac to an older model TV with RCA and S-Video input. I haven't attempted to connect using S Video but i do have the adaptor for the iMac to use the Yellow RCA cable. I understand that it automatically changes the resoltion to adapt to the TV resolution but my question is this.
    Does S-Video result in a clearer picture with the TV? Because right now it is virtually unusable because of the picture quality. I have tried to reduce the resolution from the iMac with no prevail. Should i pick up an S-Video cable today?
    #2 - Can i turn off the monitor from the iMac without it touching the TV display?
    #3 - I only have two sets of inputs on the back of this TV one for the Tivo and one for the Xbox 360. What would i need to add this additional input and change it remotely?
    Any help with these is greatly appreciated!

    Hi D to the M
    You will do better turning Mirroring Off and select the proper resolution for each, when your running that setup in Mirror mode the resolutions are not matched and it goofs up the iMacs resolution. This will also be true using an S-Video cable, but the overall picture quality should be slightly better. Note that the TV will probably not make a good display for working windows, but will be decent for watching movies, video clips, viewing slideshows and photos.
    My same TV setup has been connected up for over 2 years, and I just switch the TV off or select another input source.

  • Having issues with Aperture while editing...Black Screen!

    I'm having problems when editing with Aperture...For example:
    -Picture goes black after applying an edit, then continues on to all other pictures untill I reboot Aperture
    -Exposure goes out of whack after applying an edit
    -Skin smoothing strocks are shown after being applied
    These are just a few. They do not happen the entire time I am editing, but about 30 minutes in everytime i get on Aperture something goes wrong and i have to reboot. It becoming incedibly frustrating especially when i have delines to meet with clients.
    I love using Aperture, but i can't afford for this to continue happeneing. I may have to consider using a different editing system if this problem contiues.
    Please help!

    I have 5 plug-ins that I never use...I need to delete them, but don't know how.
    At least check, if the plug-ins need updating - look at the manufacturer's website, if they are compatible with Aperture 3.5 and Mavericks.  (see: Aperture 3.4 and later: Some third-party plug-ins are no longer compatible)
    To uninstall plug-ins open the folders 
    ~/Library/Application Support/Aperture/Plug-Ins/
    (that is the user library in the Library folder in your Home folder)
    and
    /Library/Application Support/Aperture/Plug-Ins/
    (that is the in the Library folderat the top level of your MacintoshHD)
    Quit Aperture. Remove any "Edit" or "Export" plug-in, that you do no longer need.
    Your User Library may still be hidden. Open it from your "Home" folder:
    Select the "Home" folder icon in the Finder's sidebar and press the key combination ⌘J to open the view options. Enable "Show Library Folder".
    Then open the Home folder and open the Library folder inside and navigate to ~/Library/Application Support/Aperture/Plug-Ins/.
    For the second location, the system library on your hard drive, simply open the "Library" folder after clicking and opening the HD icon.
    After removing the plug-ins restart the system. Test, if removing the plug-ins will mitigate the problem.
    If not, check, if the problem occurs for all your Aperture libraries. Create a new Test library and check, if the problem depends on the library.

  • Help with creating a FORM Newbie Question

    Hi,
    I have created a FORM which is inserted into the database. I am a little bit confused to acquire the data from database when a user clicks on search button to check if this profile is already in the database.
    Please let me know if there is any TUTORIAL which can help me with this project.
    Thanks in advance to everyone.
    Regards,
    Venkatesha

    Venkatesha,
    I'm not sure I can give you too much help based on this limited information.
    I assume you created an Insert Record form with the Devloper Toolbox's Insert Record Form Wizard. I'm not sure if you are wanting a separeate search page where the user can check if a profile is already there before they try to fill out the form or if you want the page with the form on it to check and see if a user with that profile exists before it inserts the form info into the database.
    If you want a separate search page for checking profiles, you would need to hand code that page with a form to allow the person to check the profile by entering a value and then your code would query the database to see if there was a match. You could probably use the Custom Form Wizard to do some of that.
    If you want the page with the form on it to check and see if a user with that profile exists before it inserts the form info into the database, you would need to create a Custom Trigger on the Insert Record page. This Custom Trigger would need to be set to execute BEFORE the Insert operation. You would need to hand code the Custom Trigger to check the database for matching profiles and throw an error if it finds a matching one.
    Unfortunately, both these options require some hand PHP coding. For info on how to add Custom Triggers with ADDT, read the documentation provided with the ADDT software. Search the forums and tutorial pages for more detailed help.

  • Performance issues with Oracle EE 9.2.0.4 and RedHat 2.1

    Hello,
    I am having some serious performance issues with Oracle Enterprise Edition 9.2.0.4 and RedHat Linux 2.1. The processor goes berserk at 100% for long (some 5 min.) periods of time, and all the ram memory gets used.
    Some environment characteristics:
    Machine: Intel Pentium IV 2.0GHz with 1GB of RAM.
    OS: RedHat Linux 2.1 Enterprise.
    Oracle: Oracle Enterprise Edition 9.2.0.4
    Application: We have a small web-application with 10 users (for now) and very basic queries (all in stored procedures). Also we use the latest version of ODP.NET with default connection settings (some low pooling, etc).
    Does anyone know what could be going on?
    Is anybody else having this similar behavior?
    We change from SQL-Server so we are not the world expert on the matter. But we want a reliable system nonetheless.
    Please help us out, gives some tips, tricks, or guides…
    Thanks to all,
    Frank

    Thank you very much and sorry I couldn’t write sooner. It seems that the administrator doesn’t see the kswap going on so much, so I don’t really know what is going on.
    We are looking at some queries and some indexing but this is nuts, if I had some poor queries, which we don’t really, the server would show pick right?
    But he goes crazy and has two oracle processes taking all the resources. There seems to be little swapping going on.
    Son now what? They are all ready talking about MS-SQL please help me out here, this is crazy!!!
    We have, may be the most powerful combinations here. What is oracle doing?
    We even kill the Working Process of the IIS and have no one do anything with the database and still dose two processes going on.
    Can some one help me?

  • Buy License for single edition....newbie question

    Hi, very new to this forum and DPS. I tried to click the "Buy licence for single edition" link on the left of the page, but was not provided with any cost information - only an adobe product notification page. I am a Adober CS5.5 Design Premium subscriber. Keen to know costings before I learn how to do all this. Cheers

    it depends on the adobe store website and may be a legal issue too, because
    you don't buy software but a licence here (in fact, sth. like a serial

  • Focus issue with CardLayout (Java 2 SDK, Standard Edition 1.4.0_01)

    I am having an issue with focus and CardLayout with Java 2 SDK, Standard Edition 1.4.0_01. I have created a small sample application to illustrate my problem. In general, I am trying to create a "Wizard" that the user will enter information and then press a "Next" button to proceed to the next step.
    When the first card is displayed, the focus is on the first text field as expected.
    When I go to the next card by clicking "Next", the focus is not on the text field that has requested it (through the requestFocusInWindow method). The focus is on the "Cancel" button, which is the next component to receive focus after the "Next" button on that panel. I do notice that if I use my mouse to bring focus to the window the text field will gain focus.
    Similarly, when I proceed to the last card, the focus is not on the "Finish" button until the mouse moves over the window.
    Is there something I am doing wrong or is there a bug with focus and CardLayout?
    One other problem I have noticed is that the buttons no longer respond to the "Enter" key press and instead respond to the space bar. Any suggestions as to why this is the case?

    Manfred,
    Thanks for your reply. I tried requestFocus() and it gives the same results. Also Sun's 1.4.0 API (http://java.sun.com/j2se/1.4/docs/api/) mentions the following with respect to the requestFocus() method in the JComponent class:
    Because the focus behavior of this method is platform-dependent, developers are strongly encouraged to use requestFocusInWindow when possible.
    That is why I used requestFocusInWindow.
    S.L.
