Loading Wheel in Final Output

I have a project that contains four recorded video slides and two with just text. I have recorded some separate audio that goes with the files. When I publish my project as an MP4 each recording slide appears as it should but for a few moments has the loading wheel appear on it...
The wheel does not appear in the original recordings or in the slides or when I playback the project within Captivate.
How can I prevent this from happening?
Thanks,

Hi Rod, Thanks for coming back to me.
I am not testing this content on a web server. I have published my complete project as an MP4 video file and when I play that back from my hard drive the video file contains these wheels.
So while i agree that it would indicate files taking time to generate, I can't uderstand why these are showing up in a published video? It should be rendering the file, taking as long as it needs, without displaying these loading wheels.
Any ideas why it is doing that?

Data Mismatch in the final output

Hi,
I am using the eclipse version downloaded from here
http://www.businessobjects.com/campaigns/forms/downloads/crystal/eclipse/datasave.asp
In the final output, data seems to be corrupted.
Example
Column A
3500
9852
7533
Sum 35.4
The sum value reflects the right value, where as the value in column A is displayed from a different page.
In short the Column A values are randomly swapped between pages.
I tested the same report with Visual Studio with the same parameters. It works fine.
Can some one please provide me a direction.
Thanks
Raman

For your questions,
1. I have this problem when previewing report in the crystal report viewer. This is not specific to exporting to a third party format, Previewing and even exporting to PDF results in same incorrect output.
2. I tried exporting it to RPT format and its resulting in exception, See below the exception stack.

i switch on my mac book pro and all i get is the apple logo and below a loading wheel , but its stuck there for like an hour !!! help??

Take each of these steps that you haven't already tried. Stop when the problem is resolved.
Step 1
The first step in dealing with a boot failure is to secure your data. If you want to preserve the contents of the startup drive, and you don't already have at least one current backup, you must try to back up now, before you do anything else. It may or may not be possible. If you don't care about the data that has changed since your last backup, you can skip this step.
There are several ways to back up a Mac that is unable to boot. You need an external hard drive to hold the backup data.
a. Boot into the Recovery partition, or from a local Time Machine backup volume (option key at startup.) When the OS X Utilities screen appears, launch Disk Utility and follow the instructions in this support article, under “Instructions for backing up to an external hard disk via Disk Utility.”
b. If you have access to a working Mac, and both it and the non-working Mac have FireWire or Thunderbolt ports, boot the non-working Mac in target disk mode. Use the working Mac to copy the data to another drive. This technique won't work with USB, Ethernet, Wi-Fi, or Bluetooth.
c. If the internal drive of the non-working Mac is user-replaceable, remove it and mount it in an external enclosure or drive dock. Use another Mac to copy the data.
Step 2
If the startup process stops at a blank gray screen with no Apple logo or spinning "daisy wheel," then the startup volume may be full. If you had previously seen warnings of low disk space, this is almost certainly the case. The easiest way to deal with the problem is to boot from an external drive, or else to use either of the techniques in Steps 1b and 1c to mount the internal drive and delete some files. According to Apple documentation, you need at least 9 GB of available space on the startup volume (as shown in the Finder Info window) for normal operation.
Step 3
Sometimes a boot failure can be resolved by resetting the NVRAM.
Step 4
If you use a wireless keyboard, trackpad, or mouse, replace or recharge the batteries. The battery level shown in the Bluetooth menu item may not be accurate.
Step 5
If there's a built-in optical drive, a disc may be stuck in it. Follow these instructions to eject it.
Step 6
Press and hold the power button until the power shuts off. Disconnect all wired peripherals except those needed to boot, and remove all aftermarket expansion cards. Use a different keyboard and/or mouse, if those devices are wired. If you can boot now, one of the devices you disconnected, or a combination of them, is causing the problem. Finding out which one is a process of elimination.
Step 7
If you've booted from an external storage device, make sure that your internal boot volume is selected in the Startup Disk pane of System Preferences.
Boot in safe mode. Note: If FileVault is enabled, or if a firmware password is set, or if the boot volume is a software RAID, you can’t do this. Post for further instructions.
Safe mode is much slower to boot and run than normal, and some things won’t work at all, including wireless networking on certain Macs.
The login screen appears even if you usually log in automatically. You must know your login password in order to log in. If you’ve forgotten the password, you will need to reset it before you begin.
When you boot in safe mode, it's normal to see a dark gray progress bar on a light gray background. If the progress bar gets stuck for more than a few minutes, or if the system shuts down automatically while the progress bar is displayed, your boot volume is corrupt and the drive is probably malfunctioning. In that case, go to Step 6.
If you can boot and log in now, empty the Trash, and then open the Finder Info window on your boot volume ("Macintosh HD," unless you gave it a different name.) Check that you have at least 9 GB of available space, as shown in the window. If you don't, copy as many files as necessary to another volume (not another folder on the same volume) and delete the originals. Deletion isn't complete until you empty the Trash again. Do this until the available space is more than 9 GB. Then reboot as usual (i.e., not in safe mode.)
If the boot process hangs again, the problem is likely caused by a third-party system modification that you installed. Post for further instructions.
Step 8
Launch Disk Utility in Recovery mode (see Step 1.) Select your startup volume, then run Repair Disk. If any problems are found, repeat until clear. If Disk Utility reports that the volume can't be repaired, the drive has malfunctioned and should be replaced. You might choose to tolerate one such malfunction in the life of the drive. In that case, erase the volume and restore from a backup. If the same thing ever happens again, replace the drive immediately.
This is one of the rare situations in which you should also run Repair Permissions, ignoring the false warnings it may produce. Look for the line "Permissions repair complete" at the end of the output. Then reboot as usual.
Step 9
Reinstall the OS. If your Mac was upgraded from an older version of OS X, you’ll need the Apple ID and password you used to upgrade.
Step 10
Repeat Step 9, but this time erase the boot volume in Disk Utility before installing. The system should automatically reboot into the Setup Assistant. Follow the prompts to transfer your data from a Time Machine or other backup.
Step 11
This step applies only to models that have a logic-board ("PRAM") battery: all Mac Pro's and some others (not current models.) Both desktop and portable Macs used to have such a battery. The logic-board battery, if there is one, is separate from the main battery of a portable. A dead logic-board battery can cause a boot failure. Typically the failure will be preceded by loss of the settings for the startup disk and system clock. See the user manual for replacement instructions. You may have to take the machine to a service provider to have the battery replaced.
Step 12
If you get this far, you're probably dealing with a hardware fault. Make a "Genius" appointment at an Apple Store, or go to another authorized service provider.

Importing Illustrator files into AE CS6 render lo-res in final output video

Everything imports, loads, plays and renders from Illustrator into AfterEffects CS6. When I render the final video, the AI files are appearing lo-res in the HD video (1280x720).
Do I have a lo-res output setting turned on?

What version of After Effects? Include the minor version number (e.g., After Effects CS5.5 with the 10.5.1 update).
    CS6
Have you installed the recent updates? (If not, you should. They fix a lot of problems.)
    No, but I don't think this has anything to do with an update.
What operating system? This should include specific minor version numbers, like "Mac OSX v10.6.8"---not just "Mac".
    Mac OS X 10.8
What kind(s) of source footage? When telling about your source footage, tell us about the codecs, not just the container types. For example, "H.264 in a .mov container", not just "QuickTime".
     Adobe Illustrator CS6 file
If you are getting error message(s), what is the full text of the error message(s)?
     No errors
What were you doing when the problem occurred?
     The AI file is not rendering hi-res
Has this ever worked before?
     No
What other software are you running?
    Photoshop CS6 and Illustrator CS6
Do you have any third-party effects or codecs installed?
    No
Tell us about your computer hardware. Include CPU type and number of processor cores, amount of RAM installed, GPU, number of disk drives, and how any external drives are connected.
   Mac Mini with 8 GB of RAM, 500 GB hard drive, 2.5 GHz duo-core Intel i5
Do you have any third-party I/O hardware (e.g., AJA, Matrox, Blackmagic, MOTU)?
     No
Are you using OpenGL features in After Effects?
   No
Does the problem only happen with your final output, RAM preview, or both?
     Preview and final output
Are you using Render Multiple Frames Simultaneously multiprocessing?
     No
Screen shot of HD video. Graphic to right of (live action) actor is not rendering hi-res.

Final output of Final Cut Express HD 3.5 is blurry and out of focus.

Using clear/sharp '.mov' files as clips. Doing simple editing, nothing fancy. When I finally output the project using 'Export/Using QuickTime Conversion,' the final is blurry and out of focus. I've tried every compression type (H264, Animation, etc.). Same problem. Anyone know why this is happening?
Although the specs for my computer are well within the Final Cut Express guidelines (I've even upgraded my graphics card to a Radeon 9800 Pro 256 MB), I'm still thinking that perhaps the G4 I'm using doesn't have enough juice to run the FCE software. By the way, I don't have any other programs active when using FCE. Any help on this would be greatly appreciated. Thanks.

Thanks for your response.
Here's what I'm (trying) to do:
I'm creating short 5 minute tutorial movies that will be distributed as QuickTime movies (burned to disk) for short run distribution (college).
Here's the process: the movie itself is a recording of monitor screen actions recorded (audio and video) using Snapz Pro movie mode. The recorded size is 800 x 600. There might be 5 such 1 or 2 minute clips. The quality is excellent. I bring them in to FCE, drop all the clips on the same track, and add simple transitions. That's it.
Now I need to somehow get a final QuickTime movie, with close to the same quality I had in the clips.
So... I take the FCE file, output it using 'Export>QuickTime Conversion,' using the same size I originally recorded in, 800 x 600. Tried every codec available. Every time, the end result is a very blurred version of the original Snapz Pro recordings.
I've even tried outputting the FCE file as 'Export>QuickTime Move' (not using the conversion method). Opened that up in QuickTime Pro with the same result: blurred and out of focus.
I'm viewing the exported file in QuickTime Pro, with the 'Movie Properties' setting of 'High Quality.'
Any clue? This is driving me crazy. But I'm determined to get this right.

I am not able to use the ftp export in Muse. When I enter my host, name and password, I get a long interlude of rainbow wheel and finally the message that my ftp host cannot be found. I have verified the name and that it is port 21. I can export to html and use another ftp client to upload (to the same server) but this is tedious and making minor changes is painful. Have you encountered this and found a solution?

Hi Susan,
In that case I will recommend that you consult a local technician/IT team and see if there is some network connectivity issue with your machine.

Put your install DVD into the optical drive (CD/DVD drive) and reboot. Be sure to either use the disc that came with your Mac, or, if you installed a later Mac OS X version from disc, use the newer disc. As soon as you hear the boot chime, hold down the "c" key on your keyboard (or the Option Key until the Install Disk shows up) until the apple shows up. That will force your MacBook to boot from the install DVD in the optical drive.
Or if you are running 10.7 Lion, boot from the recovery partition (Command +R on boot) and use Disk Utility to repair your OS 10.7 partition.
When it does start up, you'll see a panel asking you to choose your language. Choose your language and press the Return key on your keyboard once. It will then present you with an Installation window. Completely ignore this window and click on Utilities in the top menu and scroll down to Disk Utility and click it. When it comes up is your Hard Drive in the list on the left?
If it is, then click on the Mac OS partition of your hard drive in the left hand list. Then select the First Aid Tab and run Repair Disk. The Repair Disk button won't be available until you've clicked on the Mac OS partition on your hard drive. If that repairs any problems run it again until the green OK appears and then run Repair Permissions. After repairing use Startup Disk from the same menu to choose your hard drive for restarting from your hard drive.
If your hard drive isn’t recognized in Disk Utility then your hard drive is probably dead.

Is the canvas something like "the final output"? Or is that the viewer?

I am making a video of my HD footage i shot with my Full HD Camcorder (Sony HDR-SR12).
When i go through te timeline and play something, it shows fully in my viewer, but in the canvas i get only a selection of the full image (it seems that it is zoomed in)... So, my question is, do i have to "make the video smaller" by choosing image+wireframe in the canvas? Because i am afraid that when i output on to a DVD, i will also get the zoomed-in video? Or is the Viewer the "final output?"... I am getting crazy, because i can't let two or more clips play after eachother in the Viewer, right?
Also, what is the best way to output my full HD footage? (without loosing to much quality) Just click "Export -> Quicktime Movie"? Wil quicktime not lose the HD? Thanx...

The canvas always displays the final result and quality of your editing in the current sequence in the timeline; the viewer is just a way to monitor single clips (not the composition of clips as in the canvas) and displays the quality of the clip usually before you edit it into the timeline.
This is important, because if (for example) your sequence (in the timeline) is a standard DV while your captured clips are HD, when you look at a clip in the viewer opened from the browser, you watch it at +HD quality+, when you drag (edit) the same clip into the timeline it is down-converted to the +DV lower quality+; and this is what you see in the canvas. Instead if you open a clip from the timeline (not browser) in the viewer, you see the exact same quality as in the canvas, but only for that single clip. So the best way is to always check quality in the canvas, since it shows the result of all your editing, conversions, and composition, as it will show up in the exported movie.
Now, to really verify the result in the canvas you must also make sure to:
- use Fit to Window (from the small zoom button on top of the canvas window) when you want see the full frame and its composition, but not the final quality
- instead use 100% (same button) to see the final quality for HD
- or even better connect the firewire output to an HDTV through a HDV deck (or camcorder) for HD, or to a standard TV through a D/A converter (or camcorder) for standard DV. The advantage of this solution is that you see the final result on the final output device while editing, without having to burn DVDs to check it (and this is almost mandatory when you import images and want to have control over interlacing artifacts).
When you export to iDVD you always use Export/Quicktime Movie even if you burn the DVD on different Mac; if the burner is on the same Mac you can uncheck the Make Movie Self-Contained option, so the file will be smaller and the export faster; otherwise you leave that option checked, and the file will contain all video and audio media necessary for burning (but the file much larger, and export much longer).
One more note: the Image+Wireframe option in the 2nd small button on top of the canvas (or also viewer) window allows you to apply changes to the frame size and position directly in the canvas without using the Basic Motion control of the viewer; in any case, whatever change you apply and you see in the canvas will be reflected also to the exported movie.
My guess in your case is that you are using a wrong (standard DV) setup for your sequence even if you captured HD, and that probably you zoomed in too much so that both the canvas and the exported movie show a small portion of the original frame.
I hope this helps a bit

While in email today, the computer began flashing. I had to turn off with button. When I turned it back on, I got the apple icon and the moving loading wheel. It would turn for about 60 seconds and then stop. I turned off again. I now have a black screen.

Speedgrade CS6 won't apply my Look in the final output

So I have this problem where I try to output a quick color graded version of my source footage, but the final output shows no difference. In other words, I import DSLR footage, make all the necessary adjustments (in this case I just applied a look that I saved previously) in SG then render it out as a ProRes 422. The ProRes version looks the same as my source (DSLR) footage (minus a few megabytes) and doesn't look as if my saved look was ever applied.
My Output settings are as follows: (NOTE: I have changed all of my output settings trying to solve this problem and, no dice. So I can only assume that it's not a problem with my output settings)
Output:
Format & Options = Apple ProRes 422. Automatic color calibration = Unchecked. Write ALE file to output path = Unchecked. Render annotations = Checked
Use the same burn-in as playback, No calibration lookup table, Time code source = Source
Framing:
Full Image (No Proxy). 1:1 (square). 1080p
Render
Offline Quality (fast).
My system specs are:
Mac Pro OS X 10.10.1 (Late 2013)
3.5 GHz 6-Core Intel Xeon E5
16 GB 1866 MHz DDR3 ECC
AMD FirePro D500 3072 MB
Hop I provided enough info.
Any help is appreciated.
Thanks!

With your theory in mind of it being a permissions problem, I went ahead and moved my Looks from an external drive to my computer. Still no dice. Although, do you believe that it might need to be in a particular place on my computer? Like say, a SpeedGrade folder inside and Adobe folder inside my library folder? I don't see why that would matter. I found a rather time consuming fix. If I open the Look in After Effects, I can apply it to the video clip but that's just a little convoluted.
I'll keep searching for a solution and post any updates. Thanks for your help thus far!

HD to SD final output question

Hello Forum,
I have just completed Jeff Bellune’s excellent HD to SD tutorial called “hd2sd - High Quality Scaling From HD to SD”. For weeks I have been trying in vain to downscale my 1920 x1080i AVI-8bit YUV HD footage for output to PAL DVD without much luck, resulting in terrible output quality, but for anyone experiencing the same problem I would like to let you know that the quality of the conversion with Jeff's method is absolutely amazing. http://bellunevideo.com/tutlist.php Thanks for the post Jeff you are a star!
But I have one small problem. In the final process when using VirtualDub to open your AviSynth script file and then saving it out to a Lagarith AVI file.
The process works as described with great results however the final output file is exported at an output size of 720x576 - 1.250 (5:4) aspect ratio. (Size data extracted from GSpot) The problem is when I import this into Encore the footage does not fill the whole screen.
My to the forum question is does anyone know how I can change the output file size in VirtualDub to a (16.9) aspect ratio so that when imported into Encore the footage takes up the whole screen in a (16:9) widescreen format.
Can VirtualDub be used to do this and if so does anyone know the exact settings to be used?
Any assistance with this will help me greatly.
Thanks in advance.
Rex.

Thank you Jeff
You are a brilliant person, thank you very much as you solved my long standing and draining problem in one answer!
The output result is second to none as a matter of fact I can’t even tell the difference from the original footage!
Everything is fine now but while the Big man himself is about I wonder if you could possibly answer these 3 questions?
1) I am using Premiere CS5.5, Should I have used the Maximum render quality setting when exporting my MPEG2 file from premiere (this wasn’t mentioned in the CS4 tutorial)
2).My original source footage used in my test project is 1920 X1080i (1.0) 50Hz Pal - and I have exported 3 versions, one Lower field first, one upper field first and one Progressive no fields. Using the Interpret Footage techniques from your advice I created 3 separate Encore projects in each field setting the thing is I can’t tell the difference between them in my test DVDs. (Q. which field setting do you recommend me use for my final project output to Pal DVD (Note Encore Pal Project settings make reference to Lower field first).
2) Could I re-import the exported VirtualDub avi file back into premiere. Then edit my project adding effects and titles and when the project is complete export the finished project into Encore either by uncompressed AVI or MPEG2-DVD?. If this is possible will I lose much quality on export? And would you know how I could Interpret the Footage to PAL Widescreen (1.4587).in premiere? (I ask this as it would be much easier to edit with these smaller files as my original files are very resource consuming)
Again I would be most grateful if you have some advice on these questions as I am a newbie to HD editing but embracing the challenge.
Thanks again.
Rex.

Export quality poor on final output

I'm working on a macbook pro using iLife09.
I've edited everything in FCE 4 and the final output after burning in idvd has 3 movies on it and one of them, about halfway through, continues to have a very pixelated section lasting about 1 minute. it plays choppy and blurry.
in fce 4 I exported>quicktime movie. I've tried making it self contained and not self contained. Same results on both. I use verbatim dvd-R, burn at slowest possible speed, and at professional quality. I've repaired disk permissions, deleted idvd prefs, and saved as "disk image." the results are the same on the disk image. I think this means it is an encoding/burning problem.
All my audio has been converted to .aiff and is 44.1 KHz.
is this an export issue within FCE 4? what other options should I try?

thanks for your quick response. I've been working on it ever since.
the exported QT movie does not display the pixellation.
I switched it to Best Performance as opposed to Professional Quality, but this didn't solve the problem. It seems that the content was too close to filling up the capacity of the dvd. once I shortened the content, the problem went away.
thanks for the suggestions, this gives me other options when other things go wrong in the future.
