Keynote Slipping Positioning after FCP export

I am importing Keynote ('09) movies into Final Cut Pro (latest version). The movies come in at 1280x720, 29.97 frame rate... the same video settings as my FCP sequence.
I set my in and out points, insert it into the timeline in FCP, and everything looks ducky. But when I export the whole sequence through Compressor, the Keynote videos have moved from their in and out points by 2-3 seconds!
I'm totally at a loss as to why the Keynote stuff is shifting, especially when it's all cued correctly in the FCP timeline. It did this in earlier Keynote and FCP versions alike.
Help!

Hi Tom,
Thanks for your reply. The codec is HDV 720p30 in both Keynote and FCP. I tried exporting the sequence to Quicktime, and then into Compressor, and that still did not work. I'm stumped as to why my timing is slipping...

16x9 aspect ratio lost after FCP export to QT movie

I initially complained about the same problem when exporting from Motion to QT movie, then importing in FCP. This was fixed, and I really enjoy it.
I work 99% in DV anamorphic and all my Applications are set this way. It bothers me however that I lose my anamorphic aspect ratio when I export from FCP to Quicktime movie. Maybe I'm doing something wrong?
I hope this will be fixed in the next patch as it waists a lot of time correcting it manually. I often export from FCP and into QT Pro, fix aspect ratio and then off to the web. If anyone knows of a better way, I would appreciate the help.

No, you're not doing anything wrong - this is a quirk in the way that FCP writes anamorphic QT movies when using the DV codecs.
As you've discovered, the flag is not recognized by QT Player unless you export via QT Conversion and either set the display size manually or, in QT 7.1.0 or higher, select 16:9 output in your Movie Settings.
Sorry if that's no help...

QUICKTIME GLITCHYNESS AFTER FCP EXPORT!

HELLO EVERYONE!
THIS IS A HUGE PROBLEM! CLIPS LOOKED GOOD IN FINAL CUT BUT WHEN I EXPORTED AND OPENED UP IN QUICKTIME GLITCHES APPEARD. EVEN WORSE, SOMETIMES THEY WERE THERE SOME TIMES THEY WERE NOT. LIK I WOULD PLAY THE VIDEO, SAW GLITCH. PLAYD BACK ONCE AGAIN IT WASNT THERE ANYMORE. I EXPORTED THE SEQUENCE FROM FCP WITH THE EXACT SETTINGS THEY WERE BROUGHT IN! HELP
THANKS!

Please reply to David's questions. It will enable us to give a more nuanced answer.
The sledgehammer answer is your machine in unable to play back the file without hiccuping - ie the data rate exceeds the ability of your hard drive, video card and/or CPU to pass it through.
The solution to the above situation is:
a. to export in a codec your system can support
or
b. get a different machine that can play back the codec without issues.
Cheers,

FCE-No quit option after quicktime export...

Hi everyone,
I've noticed that after saving a large movie as a quicktime file, that FCE does not give me the option to save and then quit. It saves the initial project fine, but I've had to force quit FCE from the dock.(maybe i don't have to?)
After this I have been fine to drag the FCE movie file to iDVD and burn away, so no probs there, but I'm curious as to why the application is still... I suppose "in use" having finished converting the file to Quicktime. (I hope this makes sense).
The only reason I've wanted to quit FCE was to ease the workload on the machine from having large apps./projects open whilst it's trying to burn.
Am I being over-cautious here?
BTW, the discussions here have been a fantastic help in my first 2 months with FCE, cheers to all contributors !!

I don't know the differences between FCE and FCP, so not sure how much help I'll be...
I can't imagine you should be having to force quit FCE after an export. Could be corrupt preferences...
search this forum or FCE forum for 'FCP Rescue'. There may/may not be a version for FCE, but it might help. There are also manual processes for this as well.
Hopefully someone else may chime in with better info.

Can't save pictures on original folder position after edit...since I'm upgraded to IOS7 on IPad2.

can't save pictures on original folder position after edit, get save popup to save at different position, also still on toubles to get them back to original folder positon since I'm upgraded to IOS7 on IPad2.

I say the problem is probably noted, and probably will be resolved. Not that i can speak for Apple. I find the "problems" of wallpaper to be pretty minor compared to the advantages of iOS 7. The fun of wallpaper has always been pretty insignificant here.

&DISPLAY_USER not working properly after import/export of application

I'm getting some weird functionality.
Several variables are no longer working after I exported and imported a page into the same HTMLDB environment
for example at the bottom of the page I now get:
User: &DISPLAY_USER Language: &BROWSER_LANGUAGE
I verified that the template are the same in both cases.
I also get the same error in one of my links
with
&SESSION not resolving.
Any suggestions are welcome.
Thanks,
Erik

Erik,
Items using that syntax need a period at the end (&DISPLAY_USER.) when the application uses "exact substitutions mode". Some of our older applications used "non-exact substitutions mode". Perhaps you exported the page from such an application.

Table Problems after Word Export from RH8

I am running RoboHelp HTML 8 as part of Technical Communications Suite 2 on Windows XP Professional and exporting to Word 2007. This is a recent upgrade. Previously, I was just running RoboHelp 8 without TCS. All of the Adobe software is completely patched and up-to-date.
The help system I am converting to Word is large and results in over 600 pages of Word content with a lot of tables (generally just for data presentation and not layout purposes). I'm also using build tags and single-sourcing this document to another, shorter document that is over 400 pages long.
I have exported various documents from RoboHelp to Word many, many times before, and although I don't like the amount of reformatting I have to do, I'm used to the effort involved. However, the behavior seems to have changed recently.
These days (possibly after the conversion to TCS?), after I export the help system to Word, all tables are set to have the text wrap around them (Table Properties | Table | Text wrapping | Around). Before, this setting always defaulted to no wrapping. I wouldn't mind this, because I could simply set the tables to have no wrapping, but even after I do so, the full functionality of tables is still not available to me. For example, I can't set to header row to repeat across pages (Layout ribbon | Repeat Header Rows). I also can't set rows to not break across pages (Table Properties | Row | Allow to break across pages). In fact, I can't select a single row of the table generally without selecting the entire table. My coworker found out that you can copy each table into Word Pad and then copy it back into Word as a workaround, but that is extremely tedious. We already waste a lot of time reformatting these documents for various other reasons.
As a (probably irrelevant) footnote, I convert to .doc rather than .docx, because RoboHelp crashes when I export to .doc. I then save the .doc as a .docx file to conserve file size. The same problem exists in both file formats.
Thanks in advance for any help you can provide!

Hi, Peter. Thank you for your thoughtful response.
Yes, after exporting to Word, I couldn't set the tables' heading rows to repeat and couldn't select individual rows. Also, if I selected the entire table, normally Word would offer me the option to convert the table to text. However, Word seems to think that the table isn't a table, so instead it offers me the option to convert the text to a table. Good times. :-)
I write the above in the past tense, however, because I discovered a solution. I found a table in the Word output that didn't have the problem, possibly the only one of its kind in the project. In RoboHelp, I compared the HTML source of that table to a table that did have the problem. I discovered that the problematic table had two HTML tags that the unproblematic table did not: <?rh-align_start align="left" ?> and <?rh-align_end ?>. I deleted the tags and presto! The problem was fixed for this table in the Word output. This worked for a couple of other bad tables as well, so I decided to do a global find and replace. Using Find and replace in files in RoboHelp, I replaced each of these tags with nothing (i.e., a null value, essentially deleting them). Searching for the entire string didn't detect all instances, so I searched again for "rh-align" only and found about 50 instances, which I manually corrected in the HTML source.
So far, so good!
I didn't try the options you suggested, but I was suspecting a template problem as well. Thank God it wasn't because I wasn't relishing the prospect of tracking that down.
And yes! We tried your macros. Actually, the world-class tech writer Sue McKinney, who works with me, tried it, and she says it took three minutes to reformat the rows in the tables so they wouldn't break, which is a requirement of ours. We look forward to implementing the other table-related macro functionality you developed. Thanks for providing it for our use!

After I exported a PDF to a Word doc and downloaded it, I can't get the pointer tool to work.

After I exported a PDF to a Word doc and downloaded it, I can't get the pointer tool to work. When I click on the document text, the only tool is the "move" tool. I can't edit or select text. Please advise.

Version of Adobe: Adobe ExportPDF (not Pro)
Operating system: Windows 8.1
Steps I am taking: When the PDF file is selected and opened, I clicked on Tools menu on right side of the screen; then I clicked on Select PDF file; then under Convert To, I selected Microsoft Word (*.docx); then I hit the box below that; and clicked Convert. I then see the message that says it is Converting to Export PDF Online. Then I see a link below that, that says Download Converted File. This takes me online to Adobe Acrobat .com, where, I see the command, Export PDF, and see a blue box on the same screen that says Select PDF Files to Export. I click on the thumbnail of the file I want to export. This brings up, online, a screen containing the file I wanted to convert to Word. Then, on the same screen, I click on the icon on the right hand of the screen that says Download. then I click on the box on the bottom the screen that contains the Word document I had wanted to convert. This brings up the Word doc. in Compatibility Mode the latest Word version, which I am unfamiliar with and which has a Picture Tools tab that I cannot escape from and I cannot get any selection tool other that the Move pointer, and I cannot find the Select text pointer to select any text on the page. I don't want this Word version and do not know how to return to the old version of Word that I am familiar with.
Can you help me, please?

Hi,
thank you for your help.
I am using an Adobe Acrobat XI Pro.

I tried the "Save as" option and the same problem happened.

Scroll bar does not retain its position after or before pack

Hi
My Scroll bar does not retain its position after pack in my application.
But i need to retain its state.
My code snippet is :
System.out.println("VAlue--->" + getHXValue());
scrollPane.getHorizontalScrollBar().setValue(getHXValue());
pack();
My VAlue printed is 100.
But my positon of scroll bar is at 0 th location.
Can any one help me.....

Swing related questions should be posted in the Swing forum.
My code snippet is :Snippets don't help.
If you need further help then you need to create a "Short, Self Contained, Compilable and Executable, Example Program (SSCCE)",
see http://homepage1.nifty.com/algafield/sscce.html,
that demonstrates the incorrect behaviour, because I can't guess exactly what you are doing based on the information provided.
Don't forget to use the "Code Formatting Tags",
see http://forum.java.sun.com/help.jspa?sec=formatting,
so the posted code retains its original formatting.

FCP export settings for import in iMovie '08

Q: What QT/ Compressor export settings do I need to use in FCP in order to be able to import the MOV file in iLife '08?
The reason for using iLife '08 is solely for sharing the movie to dotMac.
(if you know alternatives bypassing iMovie '08 ... be my guest).
Background:
I create my footage with a Sony HDR-HC7.
I capture the footage on my Macs (G5 and MBP) via FCP.
I edit my sequence in FCP using the HDV sequence presets
I output using FCP export to Quicktime. MOV file has HDV properties.
Funny: the captured MOV file with HDV properties can be read by iMovie '08 , the edited sequence with exactly the same HDV properties can not be read by iMovie '08 .
I tried a Compressor conversion to:
- Apple preset iTV --> no import
- Apple preset iPod video --> no import
- Apple preset m2v and m4v --> both no import
- Apple preset mp4 --> no import
iLife help mentiones that it accepts DV, mp4 and some MOV formats.
Q: what is the list of "some"
Please help.

Q: What QT/ Compressor export settings do I need to use in FCP in order to be able to import the MOV file in iLife '08?
Don't have FCP v5/6 but with older FCP/FCE usually use AIC for crossover in MOV file container.
iLife help mentiones that it accepts DV, mp4 and some MOV formats.
Q: what is the list of "some"
I have personally used DV, AIC, MJPEG, MPEG4, H.264 and i believe Photo-JPEG with which another individual indicated he was having problems. As to audio for these files, usually use DV, Linear PCM ("Big Endian" Integer), AAC, or even uncompressed. Avoid Apple Animation and Apple Video compression formats which will import/edit but will not correctly export. However, be advised that there are some caveats. E.g., a "Large or Full" slideshow export from iPhoto places the MPEG4/AAC data in an MOV file container which iMovie '08 will not import. However, if you use the MPEG Streamclip "Save As..." File menu option to save the same data in an MP4 file container. Therefore, would say that some problems here may be associated with iMovie '08 "pre-scanning" of files and possible minor bugs in proper error trapping on compression formats vs file containers.

FCP export of rendered seq: some 'offline media' warnings in exported file

Hi,
We had an issue last weekend with a file that was exported from FCP:
- sequence was fully rendered in FCP
- export Quicktime movie (not a QTref)
- the exported file had an almost 1minute red 'media offline' warning in the middle of the file
- when we checked the sequence again at that sport, all the media was still there and all was fully rendered
- we did another export and all was fine ...
Anyone that had has this issue ?

Not particularly, but have you tried trashing all renders, then re-rendering?
It's possible the sequence was seeing a render file (but not connecting to it on export), when in actuality the clip/media is in fact off-line.
Give it a shot if you haven't and let us know.
Might also fill us in on details about your system and media you're working with.

How to enforce position after decimal point

Hi,
i need to enforce a position after the decimal point in an SAPScript Form.
The Form is MEDRUCK_RV and the field ist RM06P-PRMG1.
I tried to enforce it with RM06P-PRMG1(Z9.1) but it doesn't work.
I need to cut the left-hand zeros and display one position after the decimal point.
Can someone help?

Hi,
Try this.
DATA : DFORMAT TYPE XUDCPFM,
L TYPE I.
SHIFT RM06P-PRMG1 LEFT DELETING LEADING '0'.
SELECT SINGLE DCPFM FROM USR01
INTO DFORMAT WHERE BNAME = SY-UNAME.
IF SY-SUBRC EQ 0.
IF DFORMAT EQ 'X'.
SEARCH RM06P-PRMG1 FOR '...'.
ELSE.
SEARCH RM06P-PRMG1 FOR ','.
ENDIF.
ENDIF.
IF SY-FDPOS NE 0.
L = SY-FDPOS + 2.
RM06P-PRMG1 = RM06P-PRMG1+0(L).
ENDIF.
Thank You,
Saritha

My Imovie looks great on mac but it is discolored and grainy after I export to dvd.

My Imovie looks great on mac but it is discolored and grainy after I export to dvd. I need help, it looks awful when projected even playing from my mac.

It's my understanding based on what another long time contributor stated that Share to iDVD converts direct to a MPEG-2 format and drops it directly into the iDVD Project for you. Share to Media Browser saves it to .MP4 (actually .m4v which is what apple uses for iTunes video,etc) then that gets converted by iDVD into MPEG-2. So something about the export direct to MPEG-2 when you choose Share to iDVD is introducing the problem. That's why Share to Media Browser seems to get around that limitation, it uses a different encoding path altogether.

After Effects exports picture as a black frame?

I just graded a simple picture in AE and after I exported the picture I went to look at the image file and all It was was a black frame. I'ved tried different formats, and I've tried exporting it as a .psd for photoshop but it still won't work. Can somebody help me with this?

You have not provided proper information on your file and settings nor your system. Based on your tags we can assume that you are using MB Colorista and then you may simply exhaust its limits or there is a general issue with your graphics hardwre, since the effect uses GPU acceleration.
