Losing in an out points when sending to compressor

Hi
Have just upgraded to FCP7.
In the past I could set in and out points on my timeline in FCP and when exported to compressor it would just compress the material between those points. This was very useful but is not happening in the new version. So for example, if I have some black at the beginning of the timeline it is compressing that despite the fact that before I could set IN at the beginning of the edit and it would automatically go from there. I am exporting it by using the Send to compressor method.
Thanks,
Pete Snowdon

You'll have to step into the nest, select all the clips you want, then send them to Motion.

Out of sync in/out points when exporting from FCP

When I import a sequence from FCP6 as both an XML and straight into using Send to, a lot of the clips in my timeline contain incorrect in/out points.
On some clips it is a completely different shot altogether although the durations are correct.
I have read the release notes about issues with importing sequences and the boxes are checked this end.
Has anyone been experiencing these problems too? If it helps, this only seems to be on sequences shot on the Panasonic HVX200 at: 720p25
I would appreciate any help!

Has anyone discovered the source of this problem? I just ran into this today. This is a VERY serious problem in my opinion. The whole benefit of Color (from my point of view) is to allow high end color correction without having to re-export your clips into an external app, adding another layer of degradation to your clips, or having to deal with huge uncompressed files. This bug makes that workflow useless so I sincerely hope this is fixable.

Problems with in/out points when submitting jobs via Terminal/command-line

I've writting a GUI based script which allows a user to select a source Quicktime file, and will encode that file to multiple formats, and trims each destination based on specific timecode in/out points. However, I'm having problems getting the Compressor command-line interface to honor the in/out timecodes that I've explicitly set for multiple jobs within a single commandline.
In other words, if I want to encode a source Quicktime between 01:00:00:00 and 01:00:29:23 with just ONE setting/destination, then the following commandline works:
/Applications/Final\ Cut\ Studio/Compressor.app/Contents/MacOS/Compressor -clustername MHM -batchname CLI_BATCH -jobpath /Volumes/mel/temp/20120329/TEST_SRC.mov -settingpath /Volumes/common/settings/compressor/M9_Slave/_Local_/OTWC.setting -destinationpath /Volumes/mel/temp/20120329/TEST1234_Testing30_OTWC.mov -in 01000000 -out 01002923
But if I try to append multiple settings/destinations to the commandline, Compressor will only honor the -in/-out arguments which appear in the LAST -jobpath instance in the commandline.
For example, the following commandline will properly encode the file to multiple destination files, using the appropriate .settings file, but it ignores the -in/-out points that were set for any -jobpath instance that appears before the last -jobpath instance (in other words, every file is output using 00:59:57:00/01:00:30:01 as the in/out points, instead of having the "*_OTWC.mov" file output using 01:00:00:00 as the in point)
/Applications/Final\ Cut\ Studio/Compressor.app/Contents/MacOS/Compressor -clustername MHM -batchname CLI_BATCH -jobpath /Volumes/mel/temp/20120329/TEST_SRC.mov -settingpath /Volumes/common/settings/compressor/M9_Slave/_Local_/OTWC.setting -destinationpath /Volumes/mel/temp/20120329/TEST1234_Testing30_OTWC.mov -in 01000000 -out 01002923 -jobpath /Volumes/mel/temp/20120329/TEST_SRC.mov -settingpath /Volumes/common/settings/compressor/M9_Slave/_Local_/HNN-HD.setting -destinationpath /Volumes/mel/temp/20120329/TEST1234_Testing30_HNN-HD.mov -in 00595700 -out 01003001
It's wierd that everything else about this command-line syntax works as expected (and as explicitly stated in the Compressor -help output, which says "when submitting individual source files. (The) Following parameters are repeated to enter multiple job targets in a batch"), except for the -in/-out points.
I've even tried quoting the -in/-out arguments using colons (e.g., -in "01:00:00;00") , but this doesnt appear to change the behavior.
Is this a bug, or am I missing something here?

Prelude not creating In/Out points when ingesting P2 footage

I'm working on a Windows 7 (64bit) machine and I'm ingesting footage off of a P2 card reader (connected via usb). In the Ingest panel I marked In/Out points on several P2 files using "I" and "O" keyboard shortcuts. I ingested the footage with the transfer options set to transfer to a new directory on the hard drive (no transcode) with the verify transfer checked. The files seemed to transfer fine and they showed up in the Project panel. When I played them in the monitor I discovered that the In/Out points I set prior to the ingest were ignored.
Prior to ingesting the P2 footage I ingested some AVCHD footage with a transfer and transcode to P2 Movie. In that case the in/out points that I added in the ingest panel were respected when I played them back in the monitor after the ingest.
So, does the setting of in/out point in the ingest panel only take effect if you are transcoding footage?

Current input suggests creating subclips would be acceptable. So the net result you would see in the project panel after ingesting a clip with In/Outs set would be a master clip (representing the full clip) and a subclip representing the In/Out range specified.
Is this what you would also expect?
Michael,
Thanks for your quick response. Yes, making subclips makes sense...although I guess I don't see much advantage of creating subclips prior to ingest vs after...especially when after ingest you can establish multiple subclips on one master clip. On this specific project I had lengthy pre and post roll on several shots which I was hoping to eliminate by setting in/out points prior to ingest - so that after injest I would have only clips with relavant action.

FCP 10.1 Crashes when sending to Compressor

Since automatically upgrading to FCP 10.1, I can't send any jobs to Compressor (4.1). When I do File>Send To Compressor, FCP, just crashes. Also, if I just try to open Compressor on its own, it crashes and fails to open.
Please help!
Thanks,
Mark

I thought I wes being pretty precice when I said:

Fcp x 10.0.9 I can't select in and out points while importing media, and scrubber won't work in event browser.

I have two problems, and I have already un installed and reinstalled FCP X, and still have the issues.
1) In the import media window I can no longer select my in and out points to import. Pressing the "I" and "O" keys, I just get the audible error beep.
2) in the event browser I can select the in and out points, but it will no longer scrub through the clip with the cursor.
I do have OSX Mavericks installed, but the issue was prior to the install.

Tom, perhaps I used the wrong terminology, skimming not scrubbing. In the event browser on the thumbnails of my clips, I recall being able to skim to a point and then select the in and out points. It apparently is solved. I guess the reinstall fixed it. Well like taking your car to a mechanic its not making the clicking sound now.
As far as the import. I think by your response you solved the problem. I can select the in and out point when I import from a camera or my iphone, but I did not realize you could not select the in and out points from a video file already on my hard drive.
I appreciate your responce, and have a great day.

Insufficient content for edit, four point editing, ignore out point on source

Hello folks,
I'm a long time FCP 7 and Avid editor currently using 8.2 for two short form museum films and have been running into all sort of questions. This one comes up multiple times a day. I tried to search for this here but didn't find my exact issue or answers.
I am trying to do a four point edit and I keep getting the "Insufficient Content for Edit" error. My source is marked in and out for 5 sec and my timeline in and out is marked for 8 sec. Four points total. I have already checked the Ignore Source Out point in the Fit Clip window and have checked the "Remember" box as well. My source definitely have enough footage to fill the marked 8 sec in the timeline. So why isn't PP ignoring the source out point when I commit the edit? Of course, I works properly if I go to the Source window and remove the out point manually but that's a pain and shouldn't be the way. Is PP not capable of this? or Am I doing something wrong? What is the point of the "Ignore Source Out Point" if it doesn't apply to this very common situation?
Thanks for any help you folks can offer.
CHL

I think I know what the issue is.
When the Fit Clip dialog opens for me and the source is shorter than the destination, "Ignore Source In Point" and "Ignore Source Out Point" are grayed out. In other words, when the source is shorter than the destination, my only option is to ignore sequence in or out points.
If my source is longer than my destination then it allows me to check ignore source in or out. However, if I have Premiere remember this choice, when I try to insert a source clip that is shorter than the destination, I get the error that you get.
It's obviously a terrible setup and shouldn't be like this, but that's why it's happening.

Compressor 3.02 In and Out Points Not Correct

This is a follow up to my compressor truncating movies post. I'd like to reiterate that my workflow has not changed and no new software has been added to my system. This work flow used to work like a charm, however after the most recent pro applications update this bug surfaced.
If i drag and drop any uncompressed .mov into compressor, compressor incorrectly detects the in and out points for that clip and truncates the file on output. It seems to be by the same amount every time.
Example:
Clip 1 is a 320x240 uncompressed .mov file created and exported directly from final cut pro (exported as self-contained). the file is 1:53:32 in duration.
Drop that clip into compressor and it sets the in-point at 59:56:09 (it does this every time no matter what clip i try to compress...) and incorrectly reports the duration of the movie as 1:53:05. these in and out times and duration are found in the preview window. no in and out points are set in compressor.
this being said, the resulting output file (same size, same frame rate - no changes to timing) is truncated and the last 4 seconds and change are cropped off the end of the clip.
Any ideas? anybody else have the same kind of problem and find a fix?
I've trashed preferences to no avail... help!
karl

right - the question is... what do we do about it?
i have been able to narrow this down to a problem with footage that's 23.98 fps only however as this is part of my 24p workflow - and because it's the only reason i'm using fcp at this point -- in essence, this problem renders the entire final cut studio useless.
so frustrating!
who's found a workaround/fix for this?? i've been using this same workflow successfully for years and in previous versions of final cut. this problem only surfaced in the past couple of weeks.
AAARGH!

Failed batch send to compressor

Hi guys
I'm trying to export a huge amount of footage from FC to Compressor (FC6.06) for a client review. My project disks, in FC and all my destinations on Compressor are set to the external disk. Yet when I run the batch I get a start up disk almost full message from the finder. I have 2 free gigs on the startup dick (I know! I know!), but why would my start up disk be used? Is there a setting for the FC cache, and does that get used when sending to compressor?

But is the OS writing files when FC exports to Compressor?
Constantly.
You can move FCS media content to an external drive: Copy the top level folder to where you want it, then point the application at the new location. Delete the original.
Let's remove some stuff you don't need by installing more!
Download [Monolingual|http://monolingual.sourceforge.net> and remove all the foreign language packs from your applications -most come with a variety of localization files in languages that you neither speak nor read. If you never use iTunes with Latvian menues, it can go. (Apologies if you are in fact Latvian -but you get the idea). If your Mac OS runs in a language other than English, you must still keep it. This will save around 2.5 GB on a standard Mac OS X installation.
Download [Applejack|http://applejack.sourceforge.net> and clear out system and user cache files. Applejack is also an excellent maintenance utility. Read the instructions carefully.
How many printers do you have? Mac OS X installs over a gigabyte of printer drivers from various manufacturers. Get rid of them and install drivers for the device you actually use.
Read Me files, License.txt and other documentation. You already read them, you don't need those items any more. Off to the trash.

I am losing my carriage returns when sending emails. How to keep? uses SMTP Email MIME Text Content-Type.vi

I am losing my carriage returns when sending emails using the Internet email vi's.
All carriage returns are stripped out and I get one long word wrapped paragraph.
I want to avoid html.
Ideally, using the vi's for rich text would be perfect, but a simple text message with carriage returns and line feeds in any font ok.
uses SMTP Email MIME Text Content-Type.vi
i have tried text/plain, text/html, and mixed yada something

You need to use Line feed constant and then use concatenate function.See the screen shot.

Compressor Losing IN/Out Points from FCP

I recently loaded my fcp studio to a new (to me) 2x3ghz quad core intel xeon mac pro with OS 10.6.7. Running FCP 7.0.3 and Compressor 3.5.3
When I export a sequence from FCP to Compressor using the "file;send to;compressor", Compressor sees the whole sequence, ignoring the In and Out points I have set. I can't seem to figure this out. I have taken to setting in/outs and exporting a reference QT using "file; export; QT movie", then importing the file into compressor. An extra step that is really slowing me down.
Any suggestions?

Adding a sequence to the render queue is sort of like duplicaitng it. Each time you put a sequence into the render queue, it will stay in that state (same edit, ins & outs) regardless of what you do to the original. I use this behavios to batch export several selects of the same sequence - changing the in and out and dragging a new instance to the export queue.
The thing about the export queue is that it will lose its contents when you quit FCP. If you want to be able to mark the same portion of a sequence over again, you might try putting a marker with a duration or pair of markers and use Mark to Markers - (^A) to set the same in and out each time.
hope this helps -

Out of office message when sending mail to Lotus Notes from SAP

Hi,
Is it possible to have an 'out of office' message when sending mail to Lotus Notes from SAP?
I'm sending account statements by mail via a modified version of function FI_OPT_ARCHIVE_CORRESPONDENCE. The SAP username is send as a parameter, and later converted to the e-mail saved in the user profile. This works, - but I would like to have an out of office reply if the user I send to is out of office.
Hope someone can help...
Regards,
Lene

As Thomas pointed out, you can use regular SMTP mail to send the contents to Lotus Notes. You can use the function module SO_OBJECT_SEND or any of the SAP Office function modules to do this.
Only thing to remember is that the SMTP may have been disabled by your basis team due to security risks involved. An alternative could be a lotus notes connector available from IBM.

Connection timed out when sending messages

Hi, I have a Thunderbird connection time-out issue when trying to send messages. Other similar problems in the KnowledgeBase did not help to solve the problem. I get the following message:
"Sending of message failed. The message could not be sent because the connection to SMTP server (server name) timed out. Try again or contact your network administrator." This is a fairly new computer (four months old) and Thunderbird worked fine until now. Details: Win8.1, TB 31, AV Nod Eset (not Security). The only change that took place recently was in the telephone line which was changed from mine to my husband's name. The telephone company added me as a complimentary user. I was able to send a few messages after this change, so it does not appear to be the cause. I have checked that the server details are correct. I also uninstalled (via Control Panel) and reinstalled Thunderbird, although it seemed that it was not properly uninstalled, because all the messages were there when I reinstalled. What could be the problem?

Please check the hosts file for the new IP,
Also cehck the Agnet service login for wheter the user has the privledges to do a FTP access to the server or also connect to the server

String index out of range: 0 error when sending to SOAP Receiver

Hi experts,
I have an interface
IDOC -> XI -> SOAP
Occasionally I will get this error message from RWB when sending to the SOAP service:
Delivery of the message to the application using connection AFW failed, due to: String index out of range: 0
To trace the soap message, I sent the message through a TCPMonitor, the error does not occur anymore.
Has anyone met with this problem before?
How do I resolve this?
Thanks!

I did not do any substring in the mappings.
The strange thing is, with the same message, I can re-send without any error if I send this message through the SOAP TCP Monitor.
