JIttery final product

I guess I'm not really sure if this should go here or in the iDVD spot, since I don't know what the problem is, but here it goes. I did a project in FCE 4, exported it, the .mov files looks great, run smooth, the whole nine yards. I threw them into iDVD, and even the quick preview thing on there looks great. However, when I actually burn a disc the movie is very jittery (i.e. low framerate) for no apparent reason, no matter what I play it on. Does anyone have any clue as to why it is doing this? I really need these DVDs to be out by tomorrow but I can't bring myself to give them to people being this jittery.

Ok, as an update, it would appear that exporting it as a DV Stream (a .dv file) it works fine. WHen played back on the computer the quality actually appears to be a little worse, but I suppose I could burn it to a disc and see how it looks on a tv, where it really matters. I suppose it's not like SD video ever looks great on a computer screen.

Control of serial numbers in productions (parts and final product serials)

Hi,
We are starting using our production module in SBO 9.0 PL11 and it is all quite messy.
We need to manufacture an item that has a serial number made of parts, some of which have serial numbers. Just imagine a car. The car will have its own serial number, but the engine, the radio and so on will have their own serial numbers. But the cables, tyres, etc do not have a serial of their own.
We set a BOM model, made of every part (with or without serial) and set every line to manual.
Then we place a PO for our parts, and then do a Goods Receipt and enter the individual items' serials.
Then, we issue a Production order for our final product made of all of our parts in the BOM. Then we release it for production.
Next, it all gets messi. If we create a receipt from production, we can issue the serial number of each of our final products.
If we create an Issue for Production, we can choose what serials to pick for production.
Big problem is that we loose all traceability. There is no way (or we can't find it) to know what are the serials of the parts that created the final product.
Not only this, issue for production looks (serial number transaction report-wise) looks like a goods issue, so just a way to decrease your parts stock. And receipt of production looks like a goods receipt. So you just now you received something for production or that you issued it to production, but there doesn't seem to be a link between them. No traceability at all.
Can anyone throw some light into this? I am sure we are doing something really wrong, but can't see what.

Hi,
1. But how do we control what serial numbers for each part we used to create the final product specific serial? (I use engine #003 and radio #376) to create product with serial #076. And we always produce in quantities greater than 1.
Please provide an sample process production with FG item and components with required serial format to check
2. This query is not returning any rows. I am inputing a final product code, with production orders, and nothing shows up.
As mentioned, the above query works for batch managed items. Once we conclude process, I can try modify above query to meet your purpose.
3. It sounds really complicated to have to open both receipt and issue to track a single manufacturing operation.
You can use relationship map option to view both issue and receipt for single production.
4. Besides that, what is the exact workflow? I don't quite understand issue and receipt, should I run both independently?
Standard work flow for production order:
1. Create bill of material
2. Create planned production order based on above BOM
3. Make sure required components are arrived.
4. Change planned to released status.
5. Issue components to production by issue production
6. Receive finished item from production through receipt from production.
Thanks & Regards,

Is there a way to develop the same raw file multiple times, each time keeping the final product?

I've been working with my NEF raw files. When I import one into LR I can start developing it right away, which I've done. I also know that the modifications aren't made to the raw file but kept in an XMP file. Since the I'm not actually changing the raw file do you know if there is a way to make a secondary edit of the file?
Here's an example. Let's say I have a raw file and I want to develop it in color. Then when I'm all done I want to start over and develop it again and black and white but keep the color one as well.
I know I can undo all the edits I've made but then I lose all that work too.
Is there a way to develop an image twice and keep both final products? I know copying the raw file and renaming it is one crude way but I have to believe there's a better, easier way.

Yes, you can make a virtual copy at any time.
If you want the virtual copy to be un-edited after you have done some editing to the "non-virtual copy", you could open the "non-virtual copy" in the Develop Module, click on Reset, create the virtual copy, then undo the Reset operation (click on the last real edit in the History Panel)

Final product of raw material

Hi,
I need to develop a report, when I give a raw material end result must be a final product omitting all other semifinished assemblies.
can anyone guide how to solve this

Hi Krishnan,
Study the report CS15, it is doing what you are expected to do. The only difference is, it reads all levels upto the top parent.
Anyway you can use the FM - > CS_WHERE_USED_MAT to achieve the same. You need to loop back the output to input & this way read all the way upto the top parent.
But a word of caution, if a single raw material is associated with multiple top parents, then you will have to handle this case.
Hope the above helps.
Regards,
Vivek

Final Product stage confirmation in REM or Discrete?

hi we have decided to go with REM for one manfacturing process in this final product is not going to be dispatched as it will be packed and final packed item will be dispatched so for final item entry in system can i use same REM backflush (MFBF) for packing material+SFG for final packed item or i need to create manual production order for final item?
and Is there any impact if i go with REM?
Thanks
Pari
Edited by: parinethadevi on Feb 17, 2011 6:22 PM

Hi,
it depends on how you want to settle the cost on the product, you can go for REM if you want to settle the cost on periodic basis i.e. monthly.
if you want to settle the cost by batch wise, then go for prod.order.

Premiere Workflow Final Product Quality Question - General

Clarification: This is just a general workflow question regardless of hardware/software/cpu/gpu. I'm also not asking about rendering times - just how the final product looks.
Do any one of the following 3 workflow methods have any bearing on the "quality" or "look/feel" of the final output of a project.
Specific effects are named in my examples just for the heck of it - the root of my question is if any given workflow with any given effects applied affects the quality of the final export/render.
#1) Raw Clip => Apply Sharpness => Apply Levels => Apply Three-Way CC => Export final product.
#2) Raw Clip => Apply Sharpness => Export Clip => Import Clip => Apply Levels => Export Clip => Import Clip => Apply Three-Way CC => Export final product.
#3) Raw Clip (sequence 1) => Apply Sharpness => Create sequence 2 and drag sequence 1 onto it => Apply Levels to sequence 2 => Create sequence 3 and drag sequence 2 onto it => apply Three-Way CC to sequence 3 => Export sequence 3 as final product.

Jim's answer is probably based on the fact that no matter what you do to a video, exporting it will degrade the quality almost every time. But that is not only acceptable, but absolutely necessary. What video would you have that did not require some adjustments, even if just a straight cut.
In any case, I think the answer you really want is:
#1 looks normal. So that's fine.
#2 will degrade the image every time you export unless you export to a completely lossless codec like Lagarith - which creates HUGE files and is totally unnecessary. It is just a bad workflow.
#3 is technically the same as #1. It's fine. No problem. In fact, it can be quite handy sometimes to work that way. Nesting does not cause the problems that exporting does.

BLURRY FINAL PRODUCT!!

Very VERY FRUSTRATED. Just spent hours and hours putting together a slide show using Premiere Elements 12 - and the final product (after rendering) turned out VERY BLURRY! I don't understand how this happened. All the pictures and slides added were crystal clear until rendering. And watching the final DVD was a total disappointment. I am not happy that we spent all this money on a program that is not simple to use. The free program I used to use worked better than this. Please help me fix this slideshow.

jenn
Thanks for the reply. I will post information in whatever format you feel that you best understand so that we can get you the Premiere Elements end product that you seek. From what you have written, you want your slideshow in DVD-VIDEO format on a DVD disc. That is the format that will play back on the TV DVD player. Whether that DVD-VIDEO is standard 4:3 or DVD-VIDEO standard widescreen 16:9 will depend on how you set up the Premiere Elements project that produced it.
This all leads us back to what project settings you used to produce the DVD-VIDEO on DVD disc and how you did or did not match up the properties of the source media with the project preset (also known as the project settings). This is not complicated, but it does require details consideration so that you get a decent end product.
Also, in your end product is it your source videos or photos that are showing as blurry or is it both? Does anything display non blurry?
You have said that your source video media are coming from
GoPro camera
iPhone
Nikon Digital Camera
Kodak (underwater)
Each may be giving you source video in different formats (sizing et al). A Premiere Elements project has only one project preset. So if you are importing different formats into that one Timeline, you need to set priorities. Pick you prime source, set the project preset for that, and then fit all the rest as best you can after you import them.
Is it possible for you to round up the brand/model/settings for each of the above sources for your video in this project? There are all sorts of pitfalls to avoid so that you are not left with burn to failures, blurry images, black borders, etc. iPhone video may present with a variable frame rate and not let you import it or give you out of sync audio. Photos grossly oversized for the project can cause failures and crashes. The above is my overview of the situation.
The answers will be in the details. And, there are many that cannot be overlooked especially when you come with "Blurray End Product" as your thread title.
Please think about the above. Please try to give us the details of the source media going into the project that will produce your DVD. Then we will help you put all that information together (step by step) for a Premiere Elements project to produced the DVD-VIDEO on DVD disc.
Thanks.

Burning an HD final product

I am editing a project using footage taped in HD from a Canon HV10 digital video camera. I burned a DVD to look at the final product, and it is very distorted. I have never used HD stuff before and I am not sure what's going on. Any suggestions?

You need to set the track in DVD SP to be a 16:9 track so it will letterbox on 4:3 screens and allow for full screen on a 16:9 TV set...

To find Components final product BOM.

Dear experts,
I need to know final product form component, Where used list shows first level BOM material but I need final product which is sold to customer (Finished Product), not SUB assays.
Thanks in Advance,
Jayakumar.M

HI,
*LOADING FINISHED MATERIALS INTO AN INTERNAL TABLE
select matnr
         mtart
    into table it_mara1
    from mara
    where matnr in so_matnr
      and mtart = 'FERT'. " For finished material
if sy-subrc = 0.
    sort it_mara1 by matnr.

For getting the BOM components use the function module.

Reply from malinis on 12/27/2002 5:24:00 AM
The required fields for this function module are :
Material
Plant
Date
Application(CAPID)
Values for CAPID can be found in table TC04
For production BOM it is PP01 .
The BOM sub components are stored in the Tables parameter of the above specified Function Module STB of type STPOX.
Compare this parameter with it_mara1, using field IDNRK with those componemts existing in it_mara1( with matnr field of it_mara1).
Hope this helps.

Unhappy with final product - bringing my questions/issues to one thread

I have been trying to get what I consider an acceptable DVD from my new Mac. I have started a couple of threads and posted in a couple of others, but I figured it was better to bring all my questions/problems to one thread. I'm going to try to give all the information that I can think of, in hopes that yall can help me.
I have iMovie11, iDVD7.1, Toast 8 Titanium, and Final Cut Express4.0.1.
At this time, the video I'm working with came from a Flip Ultra HD (the 30fps version, not the newer one that does HD at 60fps).
I have edited an 18 minute project, and created numerous versions of it, which I then burned to DVD with Toast. The final product on each disk all look pretty much the same to me, with the one problem that is making me go nuts --- the video playback does not appear "smooth". It looks like it is playing back at less than 30 frames per second.
I don't expect perfect video quality from the Flip camera - actually the video is acceptably clean and sharp (for me) - it's the frame rate thing that is killing me. In the past I have burned numerous DVDs from MiniDV through Sony Vegas that play back perfectly.
As of tonight, I have discovered that I apparently chose the wrong "easy setup" for FCE, it was on DV-NTSC, and I think I have found that it should have been on HDV-Apple Intermediate Codec 720p30 - although I might be wrong about that as well.
I did not do any kind of conversion to the Flip videos before working with them in FCE - don't know if this would be part of my problem.
In my trying various setting for the export, I have found "Key Frames Every xxx" with a default at 24 - don't know what this is or if it is related to my problem.
I don't mind re-editing the entire project if there is something I can do that will make this better, or if this is as good as it is going to get with this source video.
Also - I've noticed that anytime I add or make any changes to a transition, I have to re-render that section. Is this normal, or is it because I'm using video straight from the Flip (without MPEG Streamclip'ing) it first, or some other reason - maybe related to my wrong easy setup choice?
Please let me know if there is other information I can provide that might help you help me. I can see that I will love working with Final Cut Express and playing with all that it can do once I figure out how to set the export settings like they should be.

All the source video is converted, new project started with correct easy setup, corrected clips imported - the video looks awesome in FCE preview.
I notice that it still requires a re-render where titles are added from Live Type - is that normal or did I have something wrong with the items coming from Live Type?
I also exported a short video 2 different ways:
export - quick time movie - self contained.... This one has a very subtle jump just before and after each transition that I don't see in FCE while editing, it's only in the completed version
and....
export - using qt conversion
format - quicktime movie
options - compression h.264
quality - high
key frame rate - 24
frame reordering - yes
encoding mode - multi-pass
dimensions - compressor native 1280x720
This one does not have the jump before and after transitions, but from what I read earlier in this thread, I should be able to just use the "export - qt movie - self contained" - correct?

CONVERTING FINAL PRODUCT TO FLV FORMAT FOR ZMAG DIGITAL MAGAZINE

I am trying to get my final product into a flv format to send to my bosses to use on our new zmag online digital magazine. I have no clue how to export or convert my final product in final cut pro 6.0.1 to this type of file. I am able to do wmv, mov, avi etc. Can someone help me and explain how I can get my video into flv format?
Thank you sooo much!
Victoria

Smaller files typically equate to lower quality.
With that understanding, you'd lower the video and audio bit rates (trial & error) until you get the size file you want.
Consider Tony's suggestion of making a H.264 file and changing the file descriptor to .flv
H.264 is an excellent codec for internet distribution.

FCPX final product has been exported but it is choppy and seems like its missing frames

The Problem: FCP X .mov finished product is choppy in its play back (i checked through different programs, itunes, vlc, windows media player, QT, Also different computer platforms and operating systems. same choppy playback) so its a problem on FCPX's rendering etc.
What I know: The input file is a ripped DVD I own thats been handbraked to mp4. Its a clean rip and convert, I can play it through any media player on any platform/OS and its very smooth just like the DVD.
                       My project settings are for SD DVD video. They are NTSC SD, 720x480 DV Anamorphic and 23.98p fps settings. During the editing process
                       I have not touched the video so all those setting are default or should be anyways.
                       The only things i can think of now out of the ordinary are:
                       1. The settings of DV Anamorphic, should it just be 720x480 DV or 720x480 in the settings for resolution- I don't know what DV or anamorphic                            means.
                       2. The mp4 file input (the harry potter dvd rip) is resolution 720x360. Does that factor in?
                       3. This is FCP X the trial version. I dont know if that changes anything.
Background Info: I'm taking the harry potter DVD and matching it with the audio from Brad Neely's soundtracks. The timing is perfect, the sound is ok. Now I was hoping the finished product would be good to go, but its not.
Any idea of why the FCP X output file is choppy (like its missing a few frames here and there and skips from frame to frame so its not smooth) when watching the final product?
system specs:
                       Mac OS X (10.7.4)
                       2.5 GHz Intel Core i5
                       4GB 1333 MHz DDR3
Any help is greatly appreciated. Thanks.

i also forgot to add that in some places there is a green screen for a brief second.

Jittery, poor quality, final product

I have been using FCP through Versions 2,3,4,4.5 and now I am on 5. The quality of my latest project looked awful on the TV screen - both when viewed directly from the FCP timeline (all rendered with blue/gray lines above the timeline) playing through an S-video cable and when exported to iDVD, encoded and burned as a DVD. With a Field Dominance of None, the pictures were not clear and when they moved, they were very jittery. With the Field Dominance on Lower, they moved fine but had very jagged edges when they were still.
In general, I am building timelines of moving stills with transitions. I never had this problem before and cannot find any settings in FCP 5 that are different from what I think I had in FCP 4.
Any suggestions?

Search is your friend, there is a whole bunch out there on this subject, it comes up often.

Blurry Final Product - Motion & Final Cut

I'm trying to do a simple video project moving logos around for a charity event on Saturday night - but whether I render out of Motion or out of Final Cut, I keep getting a blurry product. Any ideas?
I'm son Final Cut Studio HD

Yes.
Open the QuickTime movie in QuickTime Player 7 or earlier (not QuickTime X).
The default of QuickTime player when showing DV is to display 1 field and double height the image. This is to avoid interlace combing on the non-interlaced computer display.
IF you type ⌘j and bring up the info for your clip, thusly:
In the lower right corner you'll notice the High Quality flag:
Setting it will take you from this:
to this:
Alternatively, you can go into the QuickTime Player preferences and set the default there:
Make sense?
