Lighting issue during capture

During the capture process, when I monitor the picture on the camera's LCD viewer it appears bright & normal. But in the viewing window on FCP during the capture it appears much darker. Likewise, after the capture is complete and I run the clip in the viewer it also appears just as dark as it did in the viewer during capture. Likewise, it's just as dark when placed in the time-line and viewed in the canvas. Hence, is it a setting during capture or something else that causes the picture to become much darker in FCP? THX!

Nothing is being adjusted during the capture process. The images being brought into the computer are what the camera really recorded.
If so, why do they look so different? It could be someone turned up the "brightness" on your camera viewfinder to see images on a sunny day. It could be your computer monitors are set way too dark.
The truth will not be found until you view the image on an adjusted external monitor designed to play that video format. Until then, you have no real idea of the lightness/darkness of the image.

Turning OFF Audio Playback during capture?

When capturing a tape from my video camera in Premiere Pro, How do I turn off the audio playback while recording?
I want to record the audio and the video, but I don't want to hear the tape's audio playing back through my computer speakers while recording. The technician I spoke to over the phone was extremely unhelpful and suggested I simply mute my computer speakers if I don't want to hear it. What if I want to listen to music or am trying to watch another video file in a different program without having to hear the premiere pro audio blaring over it. Please someone tell me the rude technician I spoke to did not understand clearly what I was asking and if anyone knows how to accomplish this or can shed anymore light on the topic.
I just spent 40 minutes on the phone with an adobe tech support rep who took 40 minutes to correctly understand the issue I was calling for and then informed me that the functionality does not exist within the premiere pro software. Sorry if this comes off as a little edgy, but my tech "support" call was extremely frustrating and now to find that premiere pro wont let you listen to anything in any other program while recording seems a little rediculous.
Thanks,

It is risky to run other applications while capturing footage. May lead to dropped frames. I have found that Premiere is a resource hog and more likely to have this problem than other capture programs. Not that Premiere is a bad program for capture, but you might find an alternative that provides a better solution for your specific need.
It has been a few years since using Scenalyzer, but I always found that program to be extremely reliable and flexible. And it has the capability of silencing the audio during capture. Since you didn't say what format you are capturing I can't say whether Scenalyzer will work for you. Check it out.
I don't think Harm was being condesending at all. He is simply warning you about the potential problems your system may face by attempting to multi-task in the manner you describe. It's up to you to decide if you want to follow the advice you seek here.
Good luck

Critical Issues During SAP Implementation or After Golive

Can anybody tell me one of the most critical/ challenging issues During SAP Implementation or After Golive
in these modules:-
MM implementation
PP implementation
SD implementation
FI/CO implementation
PS implementation
QM implementation
HR implementation
BI implementation
XI implementation
Thanks and regards
RS

hi,
I will list out few of critical issues in
Implementation :
1 . Ensure 100% mapping of business process for all modules with SAP(avoid customization in support phase)
2. Unit & Integeration testing should be through with all validations
3. Master datas(Vendor,Customer) care must be taken will uploading datas thru LSMW,
If there are common vendors for all plants,Create a vendor for a plant extend it to other plants
4. Check tax procedures are customized according to requirements.
5. Complete all print document customizations before go live
6. Complete end user training(2 or more cycles) should be top priority before go live(This will avoid
cancellation/reversal of documents after post go live)
7. Ready with standard MIS reports & customized reports for business decision making
8. Excise opening balance updation in tables for RG1 register in tables(Note 951955) on go live
9. Check all tables datas are updating correctly
10. Declare go live to SAP Support
11. Check All user authorization should be correct according to their roles.
12. Centeralize all master datas creation(avoid duplication)
13. Create transaction variants to avoid entires in unnecessary fields & make certain fields mandatory.
14. Ensure document numbering is completed for all documents
15. Validate accounting entries are hit properly according to requirement in quality client with FI CTM(Core team member).
After Go live :
1. Missing authorization for users will play key part here,For ex : PGI while doing delivery,Excise capture & post in MIGO/J1IEX.
2. Do internal audit every month,identify transactions if there will possibility for misuse or wrong entries,requires validation,identify users weak in certain areas.
3. Identify there is enhancements to be done in transaction process(By step-2)
4. Prepare a list of month & year end activities to be performed for all modules give to users
5. Prepare a list of frequently used transaction codes module wise give it to users
6. If there is subcontracting,ensure challan creation,GR,reconcillation should be done regulary(monthly)
7. Train the users,take reports in respective modules.
8. Additonal customization might be done in print documents.
9. Instruct users/CTM's to adapt SAP Standard practise
10. Update excise tax rates after every indian budget
Hope it helps.

Hi, First i set the flash light off to capture images in daylight.It worked fine.I exited the camera then and reopened it.Now i tried to take a picture using camera and flash light was on now. Why the camera is not able to remember its previous flash light mode....

I love my C5 .
My phone does not have flash light issue .
I brought it from US directly to my home town .
And this was only possible with the help of http://www.viaddress.com) The Global Leader in Package Forwarding.
This company is very cheap and relieble too .
I really recommend you all for shopping from US

File manager crash during capture

Using the latest version, I am getting consistent crash during capture of the file manager. Using an IBM T61P that has a 7200rpm drive. If I do frequent saves during capture I don't loose the work before the next crash. I hope I don't have to use an external drive to make this problem go away.
Any ideas out there?

Dennis already said it, but a single disk is not enough. Minimum requirements are a DEDICATED 7200 RPM (e)SATA disk for capturing. Add to that the fact that your system is dead slow (at least 50 times slower than a fast system) and that one should not do anything else during capturing, and that the system may not be tuned at all for editing and disaster is waiting to strike.
Have a look here: Adobe Forums: Guide for installing and tuning a Vista... which also applies to Win7, for a band-aid. It will not solve the issue of an extremely slow CPU, possibly integrated Intel graphics, which should be avoided at all times, shared memory, which is another no-go and the lacking disk setup.

FCP HD 4.5 footage freezes during capture

Hello
Here we go again!
I just upgraded to Tiger 10.4.9 and QT 7.1.6 and I'm having issues with capturing footage. Basically the video in Log and Capture window freezes for 2-5 seconds periodically while capturing, so it skips and when I playback the captured clip, I get a jumpcut. The tape keeps rolling during capture and camera responds to all the controls. Any ideas on how to fix this glitch? Please advise!
Thank you.

Audio echo during capture CS3

During capture I get this terrible audio echo. If I go into the Windows mixer panel and set a slider called Premiere down to zero that will stop it. But if I then wish to hear the audio (from Premiere) after the capture I have to turn it up again. Sureley this is not the correct way to do it.
It seems as though the input audio is being monitored and the delayed Premiere output at the same time. This will only happen when the capture screen is open.
Anyone any idea how to stop this without constantly playing with the mixer?
Very annoying.

Problem is only while the capture screen is being used. The delay is very pronounced.
So, your Captured footage does not exhibit this echo. Is that correct? Obviously, you have a latency issue. What are your Audio playback settings? I would also wonder about the Matrox card, as these have caused all sorts of Audio issues, though I do not recall any with Capture.
If the first statement is true, then your footage is clean and good, and all you have to do is adjust the necessary settings during Capture.
Good luck,
Hunt

Multibridge Pro no audio monitoring during capture

I cannot get audio monitoring during capture, from betacam (component) or dv, I tried everything I can think of, does anybody else is running to the same problem?
(running mac pro, plenty of ram, Os version 10.5.2, decklink software 6.6.2, FCP 6.0.2)
Thanks for any suggestions.

I tried to reboot the multibridge many but to no avail. Regarding the monitoring, I do not really care about monitoring the upload, but I want to be able to log the clip via final cut, and it should work, however it does not.
Also I wanted to know if users of the multibridge have issues with the video levels? I just switch from a HD Decklink card and the difference in level is not right, the multibridge is much to bright. Any suggestions?

Video Stuttering during capture

I know this has been discussed in the past, but I cannot seem to find it; hope someone will help.
I am capturing old VHS tapes using Premiere 10 media capture via a Canopus ADVC55. The clips I'm transferring suffer from stuttering during capture (approx every 1 sec). I seem to remember that this indicated a timing issue from stretched tape or something. I hate to think that's the case. Could it be anythng else, and is there a workaround?
Thanks,
Julian

Steve,
I had an informative (but ulimately depressing) talk today with an engineer at Grass Valley. He said that the ADVC55 adherence to the NSTC spec is quite tight, and suggested I try another source as an input to the device. I plugged in a Sony camcorder and it converted seamlessly. He suggested the VHS player (or tape) doesn't meet the NSTC spec, and that I try another VHS player that may be tighter to the spec. If is also possible that my old VHS camcorder originally used to create the tapes didn't meet the spec. The ADVC-300 contains time-base correction that could alleviate this, but is substantially more costly. The cheap Diamond A/V converter probably isn't as sensitive to the spec, and is therefor more forgiving.
All interesting, but in the end, I have a fairly expensive device that won't help me. I guess I can look for another VHS player to try, but it sounds like a lot of effort for a long shot. Any ideas on a work-around? I'm stuck.
By the way, MediaInfo shows the following for the Diamond device:
Format: YUU
Codec: UYUY http://www.iis.fraunhofer.de/en/bf/amm/http://
Frame Rate: 59.940 fps
Resolution: 480x720
The link must be to the developer.

Dropped Frames and "freezing" during capture

I'm having a problem capturing video....it mostly captures although I get "freezes" where the sound continues but the video frames are dropped. If I leave the Quit capture upon dropped frames I can't capture too much as the freezing happens about every 15 to 30 seconds. Any help?
I'm having the same problems on both computers and also when I try to set the hard drive as the scratch as opposed to my external HD.
MacBook Pro (INtel)
iMac (800mhz)
FCE 2.0
Thanks in advance
Zack

Tom,
Same issue here. I've been capturing well with the same setup months ago and have not had this issue until now.
The video "freezing" happens during writing to the hard disk during capture. Using Activity Monitor, you can see 2 second "bursts" of data written to disk every 30 seconds. The video in the capture window freezes during these bursts.
Activity Monitor also shows zero bytes of data being written to disk in between the bursts, but that doesn't seem right, because I know the video is being captured. (You can play it back in FCE)
The freezing can be seen during capture and when playing the captured clip in the viewer. Audio playback is fine.
I tried 3 different Scratch Disk settings with the same results:
External USB 2.0
External FW 800
Internal disk on PowerMac
Dual 2.0 GHz G5 (Cheese-Grater) PowerMac
10.4.9
FCE HD 3.0
QT Pro 7.1.5
3.5 GB Ram (100% set for FCE in settings)
FCE Easy Setup for DV Converter
Canopus ADVC110 converter
Analog VCR input into Canopus (Default settings on Canopus)
Firewire connection from Canopus to Mac
I couldn't find anything in your FCE Editing Workshop book that could help with this either. Everything worked fine a few months ago.

[SOLVED] Source Game Lighting Issue

When playing older source games such as Team Fortress 2 and HL2 I am able to see the glow of light fixtures through walls. I don't have this issue in newer source games like Left 4 Dead 2. I am using wine 1.3.2 and have all games running with directx 9. I tried using dx8 and I had the same lighting issue. I google'd around but couldn't find anything really relevant to my issue, I might have missed something. Any help would be greatly appreciated.
edit: I have a gtx260 and I am using the latest nvidia drivers.

Usually it´s a good idea to first check wine´s appdb:
http://appdb.winehq.org/objectManager.p … 0&sAllBugs
Video
On modern GPUs Half-Life 2 should be able to run in all dx-levels (70, 80, 81, 90). However there are might be some visual problems on higher dx-levels.
Whatever "some visual problems" means
The page also suggests:
To fix number of problems with "water in the sky" and lighting add this to the registry:
[HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Wine\Direct3D]
"OffscreenRenderingMode"="fbo"
And well..if nothing helps I would capture a small video showing the problem and report a bug to wine. Playing around with your vid drivers and wine in other versions might help.
That is the good and most basic thing people often seem to forget. Open Source devs are often very open to bugs you report and their projects can only get better if people report bugs.

Unable to monitor audio during capture

I'm using FCP6 to capture footage shot with a JVC GY-HD100U at HDV 720p24. I'm using a JVC BR-HD50 deck to capture from, connected to my MacPro 3 GHz quad via firewire.
In the Audio/Video Setting dialog box, the Sequence Preset is "HDV 720P24". My Capture Preset is "HDV", Device Control Preset "HDV FireWire". Video Playback shows "[Missing] Apple Firewire NTSC (720 x 480)" and offers only the options of None and Digital Cinema Desktop Preview–Main as alternate choices. Both HDV options are greyed out. The Audio Playback option is set to Default.
With this setup, controlling the deck remotely from the capture window, I get video but no audio. The only audio I get is when the deck is connected to my video monitor and I use it to monitor the output of the deck. The audio is there when I play back the clips after capture but I cannot monitor the sound with the computer's speakers. If I go to the A/V Devices tab, under Video, it shows the same "[Missing] Apple Firewire NTSC (720 x 480) with the same choices described above, and the Options button next to it doesn't do anything.
Can anyone think of anything I've missed in the initial setup?

Keith,
For whatever reason (perhaps the intense processor needs) HDV does not allow you to monitor your audio during capture. The computer just will not do it. What I have done, if I really want to hear what's happening durning capture, is plug my speakers into the headphone jack of my XL H1. Due to the processing that's going on, the audio "lags" behind the video by a couple of seconds.
I'm pretty sure this is not a setup problem, but just a limitation due to the nature of your format.
Hope that helps!

Red interference during capture with FCP 5.1.4

I have FCP version 5.1.4 . I am using OSX 10.6 snow leopard (Macbook Pro). Have captured and edited without any problems. All of a sudden I am getting an interference during capture. This interference comes in the form of a bright red color which suddenly fills half my screen from corner to corner forming a right angled triangle and hiding half of my picture triangularly. it flashes and then remains. Anyone know what the **** this is and how I can rectify it?
I would be EXTREMELY for any help anyone can give me. Thanks in advance.

This is happening to me today as well. Has it got something to do with 10.6.7 I have just updated and now I seem to be having the same problem

Issues during Component Batch Determination for Process Orders

Hi,
I am encountering a strange issue during component batch determination of process order.
1. During creation of process order, when I execute batch determination, systems does determination based on strategies we have set and when I click on Copy it gives an error
"Log cannot be saved: Object/subobject not specified"
Message no. BL201
*Diagnosis
Log save cancelled because at least one log contains no object or subobject.
Object and subobject are needed to classify application logs because there are several log types. Only a few logs are managed in main memory at runtime, so this classification is not needed.
If the logs are to be saved in the database, object/subobject must be specified for later retrieval.
Procedure for System Administration
Object/sub object can be passed when a log is created (function module BAL_LOG_CREATE) and changed with BAL_LOG_CHANGE.
The possible values for object and sub object must be configured in transaction SLG0.*
If I save the order with CRTD status and come back again in change mode and do determination, It works fine.
Again when the order is in REL status and do the determination, It gives the same error.
This happens only for a specific plant, In other plants batch determination works in all scenarios.
I checked for all plant related Config for batch determination and coudn't find any discrepancies.
Please advise how to resolve this issue. Thanks in advance for your help
Regards,
Aheesh

There Is no direct solution for your requirement just try this work around.
While defining the batch determination search strategy for process order in COB1, there is one column Quantity proposal where you can attach the Routines (This is written in ABAB code ) make use of this, define New Routines with ABAB help to fulfill your requirement. Try this if found useful award full points.
