Jpeg to Prores Droplet - Need Help

I've searched all over and can't seem to find an answer. I'm trying to compress my jpeg pics to prores pics (creating a timelapse inside FCP to work along other prores video footage) by means of a droplet. Since there are hundreds of pics I don't want to do them individually (or up to 20) inside of compressor. Instead, I have tried to create a prores droplet without any luck. Dragging jpeg's onto the droplet produces nothing, nothing happens. However, dragging video footage onto the droplet begins the compressor process. I'm not sure what I'm doing wrong here and any help would be much appreciated!
Thanks in advance!

Have you tried setting up a cluster using qmaster in system preferences and submitting to the cluster in compressor.  That can speed things up enormously.  Check out the manual and do some searching here on how to setup.  If you can't figure it out, post back and I'll try to help.
If you need to do this regularly, I think Matrox makes a hardware solution that speeds up h264 exports.

  • Need help to create report with jpeg/gif image

    Hello,
    I need help with creating a form with a special jpeg/gif seal. I never done this Java. Until now, I created all forms with ansi C++ with HP escape characters to draw lines, boxs, and text. This form will contain boxes which is populated with database information read from a text file.
    Since this form contains a special seal on the upper right, I don't think it can be done with old fashion ansi C++. How can I create a form with Java and create it as a simple exe to just print the form to a specified printer.
    Thanks,
    John

    Hi,
    I am creating a form with boxes (lines and text). What is special about this form is that it has an image jpeg or gif at the top right corner. Is is a state department seal. Up to this form, I had used ansi C++ and print out escape HP character to print out the lines, boxes, and text. I have no idea how to print out the image. I am new to JAVA and only 1 class in it. Is there sample code out there to create this type of form with the image? I need a starting point.
    Thanks,
    John

  • I need help making a simple droplet

    Here is what I need it to do.
    I need a droplet to open and save. Yes, that's it.
    The file must go back into its original folder.
    The droplet needs to prevent the jpeg compression dialog from opening during operation.
    PC CS4.
    What I use it for:
    I shoot wireless and the ITP Pixagent server software that I use allows the files to run through a droplet on the way into the folder.
    The reason that I need this particular droplet is that not all software reads the metadata that rotates the "auto rotate" images coming from my Canon 5D.
    Also, once the images have been run through this droplet, they never show the jpeg compression dialog again, which is nice for workflow later down the stream.  The files are all oriented correctly for any software.
    Also when shooting away from the studio, a folder of images can be drug over the desktop droplet's icon and the folder will then batch all the files through the droplet.
    I created this droplet about three years ago and didn't write down the procedure. And forgot! like an idiot. I've tried to duplicate it with no success.
    anyone want a challange?
    I am currently getting an error that "the droplet has quit working"

    As far as I know this will be included in the next ISO release. I solved it by manually bringing the dmraid package to the install and wrote a guide on installing your root system on dmraid. However when the system crashes I have the slight inconvenience of having to install dmraid and manually mount the sets to do a recovery. I guess this is the part you want to get rid of aswell. I decided to wait until the next holy ISO.

  • Need help transfering JPEG into PDF format

    I just want to know how do we transfer JPEG files into PDF

    Hello there,
    Thanks for posting. If you have JPEG files that you need to convert to PDF, there are two immediate online options available to you:
    1. Adobe CreatePDF: http://createpdf.acrobat.com
    2. Acrobat.com: http://www.acrobat.com
    Using either of these services, you can create a PDF file from your JPEG with just a few clicks. If you already have an Adobe ID, you can just sign in with your ID and password; if you've never used these services, you may have to create an Adobe ID (which is free, and takes only a few seconds). Here are some screenshots to help you get started once you've gone to one of the above sites:
    At Adobe CreatePDF (http://createpdf.acrobat.com):
    At Acrobat.com (http://www.acrobat.com):
    Please let me know if you need further assistance.
    Best,

  • IMac froze after accidentally dropping hundreds of jpegs in desktop.......need help to fix.....desktop filled now..thanks

    iMac froze after accidentally dropping hundreds of jpegs in desktop.......need help to fix.....desktop filled now..thanks

    Important: mende's suggestion will remove everything from your Desktop, not just the jpegs. Not good. Do the following instead. Open Terminal in Utilities and copy/paste, then hit return after each. The second will create a folder on the Desktop called "photos." The third command will move all of them into that new  folder, "photos" This will save them. These commands assume you are logged into the account with the troubled Desktop.
    cd ~/Desktop
    mkdir photos
    mv *.jpg photos/
    If you don't care about saving them then the following will delete them. (It is critical that you only use copy/paste.)
    cd ~/Desktop
    rm *.jpg

  • Difference between IN and OUT and Media Start and Media END??  NEED HELP!!!

    As the titles states, what is the difference?
    I edited my film in preview/jpeg mode and now need to online the project to full quality. So far it hasn't gone to well. For example the media starts at 00:09:45:12. When I do a batch capture I watch the camera fly right by the time code that it should start capturing at. What am I doing wrong???
    Some files onlined easy, but there is a set from one tape that just won't sync up or capture.
    It also keeps telling me that I have time code breaks from time to time, but when I play the tapes back they look fine to me. No obvious breaks in time code from start to end.
    thanks for any help or advice

    Recapturing can be really tricky. Takes practice and it's never recommended that you try it out on a critical piece. Timecode breaks can be perceived by FCP as being caused by several things besides actual breaks in the flow of code. The most common is probably tape dropout.
    The clips that are giving you trouble, try parking the tape very close to one of the start points and recapture only that one clip.
    If your in point is too close to a timecode glitch, you will never be able to recapture it. You'll need to capture it using NOW and then recut the clip into the scene.

  • Stuttering flv playback issue- need help asap

    We need help asap. Have a project is due to deliver today (5/14).
    We have a video to go on a dvd-rom, live action with Motion Graphics behind.
    When output is done thru Projector the Motion Graphics stutter as they scroll.
    Here is more technical info:
    Stuttering flv playback issue:
    Prores 422 timeline 29.97fps 1280x720 output from fcp using current settings.
    Mov file is approx 7gb, plays relatively smooth on a mac pro with no raid.
    Frame by frame analysis shows all frames are present with no jumps tears or skips.
    Tried several output paths, programs and settings to create a smooth flv file to no avail.
    We adjusted data rates from 2k, 3.5k, 4k and 8k, no luck
    We adjusted keyframe rates from low to all frames, no luck.
    We tried cs3 flash encoder, cs5 media encoder, squeeze ect, same results.
    Playback in the flash projector seems to choke slightly no matter what we do.
    Have also posted in the Director Forum.
    Any help much appreciated!

    Here are a few ideas off the top of my head:
    Try playing the file using a different xtra, sometimes different ones will work better.  If you have Director 11.5, there is a native flv playback xtra.
    You can build a player easily in Flash using the flvPlayback component, then bring that into Director as a swf.
    Once you have the video in Director, try making the member Direct To Stage (DTS).  If it is already DTS, try making it not DTS.
    Make sure the video is not transparent, and nothing in Director overlaps the video... in fact, when the video is playing, nothing should be moving at all, and try to keep the amount of code that is running to a minimum.
    Try lowering your video's data rate further or try using a different codec.
    Using VBR (Variable Bit Rate) compression often makes the video appear to play smoother.
    Try compressing the flv with different software.  FFMpeg, for example, is free and does a very good job, often better than the Flash Video Encoder that comes with Flash/Creative Suite.

  • Need Help With Adobe Photoshop Elements 2.0

    I have and use Adobe Acrobat and three versions of Adobe Photoshop Elements (2, 5 and 7). I use version 2 frequently as I'm more familiar with it and it's simpler to use for what I need to do. All was fine until recently when my computer was installed with Windows 8. Now I can't save photo edits from Version 2.0...... it aborts each time I try. Why is that? It is costing me a lot of wasted time. The other versions that i have don't do that. Need help. Thanks. Stu Snyder.

    The first thing i would try is deleting the Photoshop Elements 2.0 Prefs folder as explained in the post #2 linked to below:
    http://forums.adobe.com/thread/1254224?tstart=30
    Does it happen when trying to save as any file format or just a certain one like jpeg?

  • Need help with scanned photo....

    I scanned a photo into iphoto'11 using a new fujitsu scansnap s1500m.  Once I saved it, I changed the extension from .pdf to .jpg by going to "get info."  I then imported it into iphoto and I can see the thumbnail -- but when I click on the thumbnail I get a black screen.  I am using a MacBook Pro OS X 10.6.8 if that helps.  Can anyone tell me what did i do wrong?
    I am a senior who is not very tech savvy, but I try.  I have scanned a total of two photos, but can only launch one of them in iphoto.  I have compared the three using "get info" but can't see a difference.  An old lady needs help......

    You should also be able to set the scan type to JPG in, I'm assuming, there's an online preference window for your scanner.  It may be set to PDF as a default in the scanner.
    Here's a Link to a Windows Help page on setting preferences:

    You should be able to do similar things with your Mac.

  • Need help with compression rates with Sorenson Squeeze 6, Compressor3.5.2

    Hopefully somebody can help me with this...
    I am running Sorenson Squeeze 6 on a Mac to try and compress some Apple ProRes 422 videos into an MPEG-2 file. The file will be played in a DirectX application, running on a PC with Windows 7. When being played it looks to be heavily compressed, and I need help with some of the compression settings.
    Let me get more into detail...
    So I have received a Quicktime .mov that has been encoded with FCP using Apple ProRes 422 compression at 720x486 , 29.97 fps, 40.29 Mbit/s , and the file size is 515.7mb.
    So, this is the type of file I will have to compress into an MPEG-2, that will be playing on a...
    1.6 GHz Intel Atom 330 Dual Core
    NVIDIA GeForce 9400M Graphics
    1Gb DDR2 800 Ram
    32Gb SATA Solid State Drive
    Windows 7 Home
    Here is what I have done so far on my Mac using Sorenson Squeeze 6 :
    I have brought the original file in and created some presets.
    First off, I am encoding these MPEG-2 videos using an elementary stream type so I can mux the files using MPEG Streamclip...
    Here is a screenshot of the settings I am using in Sorenson :
    - I have changed many of the data rate settings as low as 3000 Kbps, and as high as 15,000 Kbps, and the end result looks essentially the same
    - The audio isn't a problem, so I'm not going to address that.
    - I have used the crop/deinterlace filter and also not used the filter, and it makes a big difference, so obviously it needs to be deinterlaced.
    From there I will get the .m2v file and the .m2a file, and then mux those with MPEG Streamclip.
    So, I have done 8 different Pre-sets all with various settings playing primarily with the data rate, and the method from 2-pass vbr all the way to 1-pass cbr.
    So again, my end result that is playing back on the windows 7 box (the specs that are listed above) looks to be heavily compressed and pixelation occurs.
    - I have also done the exact same with Apple's Compressor, and have gotten better results muxing while compressing, however the end result still tends to be the same, however the end result is much better. I have gone through 8 or so different compression export settings, and just overall still have the same issue.
    Any help would be greatly appreciated!

  • I need help with creating PDF with Preview...

    Hello
    I need help with creating PDF documetns with Preview. Just a few days ago, I was able to create PDF files composed of scanned images (notes) and everything worked perfectly fine. However, today I was having trouble with it. I scanned my notebook and saved 8 images/pages in jpeg format. I did the usual routine with Preview (select all files>print>PDF>save as PDF>then save). Well this worked a few days ago, but when I tried it today, I was able to save it, but the after opening the PDF file that I have saved, only the first page was there. The other pages weren't included. I really don't see anything wrong with what I'm doing. I really need help. Any help would be greatly appreciated.

    I can't find it.  I went into advanced and then document processing but no batch sequence is there and everything is grayed out.
    EDIT: I realized that you cant do batch sequences in standard.  Any other ideas?
