Mastering onto DV from FCP - help please

Can anyone help? I shoot Sony EX1 (1080 25P).
I can edit happily using FCP on a Mac book Pro but I'm trying to master onto dv tape via firewire onto a Sony HVR M15 deck, but it won't happen.
It could also solve my other problem which is outputting work to a monitor. I have all the correct HDMI leads etc into a 1080 HD TV / Monitor, but it just won't play ball. At the moment I just use the fcp window - not ideal
Do I need to adjust the fcp sequence to make it all marry up ?
Thanks in advance

I'm still struggling I'm afraid. In seq settings what would you suggest the render codec should be set at - 'same as seq' or 'pro res 422'
When I use 'edit to tape' the preview is disabled and still no playback (any ideas on device settings for that?).
Even 'print to video' doesn't work, I get a slightly distorted playback on the mac screen but nothing on the monitor screen.
It's very frustrating, I'm sure it's got to be something simple, prob to do with formats.
Thanks again

Having trouble exporting mpeg2 files from FCP 3 - please help me!

I haven't made a DVD for a little while, in the meantime have upgraded my operating system from 10.3 to 10.4 and am completely up to date with QT etc. I have Final Cut Pro 3, DVD Studio Pro 1.5 and Quicktime 7.3. The problem now is that when I try to export my edited video as mpeg2 from FCP, FCP immediately quits- I just can't figure it out... it leaves a file icon in the destination folder but apparently the error in the crash report means that I'm trying to write to a read only destination!?
look! ->

thanks for reading this far! anyway I've tried suggestions for similar sounding problems, they haven't worked - anybody
got any ideas?

Can you use DVDSP to do the encoding for you?
FCP3 was really not intended to be run from Tiger, in fact, I believe it will not install on a clean 10.4 disk.

Novice. Creating a DVD from camcorder - help please..

Hi all,
I am tasked with creating a DVD from some of my dads camcorder tapes. Can anyone provide a simple advice list. I assume that iDVD (which i have never used) will be the software to use?
Look forward to hearing from you helpful and intelligent people out there.
From a complete simpleton.
Kind regards,
Alan

Hello, Alan,
First, you need to determine if these tapes are digital or not. If they are not digital, you will need to convert them into a digital media format that your version of iMovie can accept. (For example, iMovie 6 can accept only DV footage).
Does your dad have the camcorder that he used to record the tapes? If his tapes are not digital, you can connect his camcorder to a digital camcorder and record each tape to digital miniDV tape. I think it is easier to use iMovie 6 for your movie-making, especially if you are thinking about editing this footage, cropping out bad parts, adding titles, effects and/or audio clips. That is why I am recommending recording to miniDV tapes.
Having the original footage on miniDV digital tapes is also a good way to store the originals, takes up very little space.
If his tapes are some other format, post back for info regarding how to proceed,
What version of iMovie do you have? I am assuming that you have iMovie08 since you are posting in iDVD08. As stated, I recommend that you do this project in iMovie 6. If you don't have it on your computer, you can download it here:
http://www.apple.com/support/downloads/imovieHD6.html
And, I recommend viewing this tutorial: http://www.apple.com/support/imovie/tutorial/
Once you have the footage on the miniDV tapes, you can connect your digital camcorder to your computer's Firewire port, open a new iMovie project and import the footage. You should limit each iMovie to about an hour and a half, if possible. A single-layer DVD can hold about 2 hours of content maximum. It doesn't matter what the size of the iMovie is in GB, only its length matters for iDVD.
After you import the footage you want, you can edit the clips and place them on iMovie's timeline in the order you wish. You can choose to add titles, transitions, effects and audio. iMovie has one video and two audio tracks so you can easily see what you are doing. If you want to have different chapters(scenes), you mark them in iMovie. Another advantage of iMovie 6 over iMovie 8 is that you can put chapter markers where you want them, not just at specified intervals.
After your movie is finished, close iMovie.
Open iDVD, create a new project in which to place your movie.
You should do this tutorial before you begin to work in iDVD:
http://www.apple.com/ilife/tutorials/#idvd-create-63
Once you get your first iDVD project ready to burn, do a 'save as disk image' and then burn the actual DVD from the disk image using Disk Utility. You will need to use a good brand of DVD-R disks, such as Verbatim or Maxell. Memorex has been problematic for many, and don't use a cheap store brand. Select a slow burn speed, 4x or less.
That's a brief summary.....
Post back if you need further information! Good luck with your task!

I'm trying to get the pictures from my ipod onto my computer. I did it earlier but i earsed them. Now when i plug in my ipod it says '''no new photos or videos' how do i get my pictures back on my dell computer to upload onto facechipz?? HELP PLEASE!!

what am i spoopsed to type here?!?!?!

Photos taken by and saved to the iPod are included in the backup that iTunes makes evetime you sync or if do a manual or iCloud backup.
Per the following the backup includes:
iTunes: About iOS backups
Camera Roll (Photos, screenshots, images saved, and videos taken. Videos greater than 2 GB are backed up with iOS 4.0 and later.)
Note: For devices without a camera, Camera Roll is called Saved Photos.
Thus if you backed up after the photos were taken yuo can restore an iDevice from that backup

DVD from Animations - Help please if you can

We have an 3min animation sequence that needs to be put to DVD.
Animation was created in Maya, it's a 3D building walkthrough, constant movement.
It is supplied as AVI (video track is WRAW) 720x576 (for PAL)
We have placed it on FCP sequence set to Animation, best, millions colours, keyframe every frame.
Sent to compressor - 8Mbps CBR, best motion, GOP size =7 / Structure =IBP, closed.
The resulting M2V looks fine in QT
It also looks fine in DVDSP Simulator
However the DVD created (from an image) both in Apple's DVD player and on set top players looks badly pixelated, grainy and flickery.
Is there something in the make up of the animation that doesn't suit DVD playback? Why wouldn't we see it in the Simulator?
Any help greatly appreciated.

Thanks Colin,
I have exported the supplied file as QT movies using different QT Codecs, DV PAL, Animation, Motion JPEG, also DV stream. If the option is there I have set the field order to Lower first. I have also imported the supplied AVI to FCP onto sequences with differing compression settings as above. All produce the same effect.
I have exported the AVI from QT as an image sequence, once as is and once with the deinterlace ticked in movie properties and imported each image as a frame to FCP onto a DV PAL timeline, this you would think would work around any issue of field order and behave as the sequence settings dictate? I get the same result, the final DVD image looks fine in DVD Player, unless you UNTICK "deinterlace" (which is wierd in itself), then it flickers badly, as does a DVD written from the image.
The best result I have had so far is following your instructions (thanks) in another post for 24fps NTSC, the final DVD was not flickering anywhere as badly but motion overall was a bit jittery. Is there a work around for animation like this with PAL do you know?
Also - maybe this might be a clue?
When I have the clip looking fine in FCP as a DV clip or image sequence on a DV timeline, with the play line stopped or running, the Canvas ONLY looks good at 100%, anything smaller or larger creates this striping moire effect on the image, visible even with the play line in stop.

HP Stream 7-Windows 10 doesn't boot, I can't recovery 8.1 because can't boot from USB-HELP please!!

Hi everybody, I'm new here!
I am (scuse me: WAS) enjoying a Stream 7
Some days ago I tried to install Windows 10 TP upgrading 8.1 with Bing. After some waiting time it succeeded, but unfortunately I forgave to put in the tablet's SSD the hp drivers, thinking they weren't necessary. So touchscreen, WiFi and all the other stuff didn't work. After I collegated via OTG a keyboard and a mouse I managed to use Windows 10.
Trying to install drivers, my fault, I opened an .exe of Realtek (maybe for the audio), tablet asked to reboot and after that I cannot access to Windows anymore.
I tried to boot Windows 8.1 from a USB, but it doesn't boot, the same even if i disable secure boot.
With disabled bitlocker Windows gives this error
In boot option I set these settings
I put the usb in this way:
The Stream doesn't consider the USB absolutely XD
If I enable again the secure boot Windows gives this error (that at 99% is caused by the .exe I installed):
Rebooting the Stream a couple of time with secure boot it goes in a menu (where touchscreen works) where there are a lot of options to reset Windows, but none of them works. If I try to format from this menu it asks for my account's password, but it doesn't accepts the mine :/
If I try to open the recovery (from volume minus button when it starts) it gives this message:
Waiting for help,
Thank you for your patience!
This question was solved.
View Solution.

Hi everyone. I think I have found a solution to this problem. Short background story, I too tried to install Windows 10 (10049) via Windows Update but I was never successful - got stuck at around 30% for more than an hour. I tried to restore to 8.1 but it gave me that 0xc000000f error. Luckily I had made a recovery image to USB before updating to Windows 10.
Please note that by doing this method, you will obviously lose your data.
Here's what you'll need:
- Recovery USB (if you don't have one, grab it from this link and I thank you that person from another post). Follow the instructions, this is just basically clean, format to FAT32, set primary and active, and then drag and drop the files and folders from the USB folder to the root USB drive. This particular recovery is from a 5701 model, there is actually no difference between Stream 7 models in terms of hardware, but software is configured differently (different language setup/format) depending on the country/region it's sold.
- OTG cable
- Powered USB hub
- USB Mouse and Keyboard
- A moment of your time
1. Plug in the OTG cable to the tablet, and then plug in the USB hub to power and to the OTG. After that, plug in the USB mouse and keyboard and Recovery USB to the USB hub.
2. Boot the tablet to BIOS by holding down Power + Volume Down at the same time, until you reach the Startup Menu.
3. Press F10 and navigate to System Configuration > Boot Options. In this menu, we'll have to restore the settings to default.
So if you have disabled Secure Boot, you first need to Clear All Secure Boot Keys and then Load HP Factory Default Keys. Then enable Secure Boot.
Make sure UEFI Boot Order is also default to as follows: OS boot Manager, USB Diskette, USB CD/DVD, Network Adapter.
If you did not make any changes, proceed to 4.
4. Be prepared to go back to the Startup Menu, because as soon as you press F10 and hit Yes, the tablet will automatically restart. So press and hold the Volume Down button after you hit on Yes.
5. Press F9 and select Boot From EFI File. If you've done the recovery image ghosting correctly onto the Recovery USB, you should see two entries. One should be RECOVERY and the other may depend (it could be SYSTEM or No label). Select RECOVERY, and then select bootmgr.efi.
At this point the tablet will boot off from the USB and will bring you to Windows Recovery.
6. Select your keyboard layout, and navigate to Troubleshoot > Reset your PC.
If the drive partition/boot manager is not damaged, it will ask for a recovery key. You can actually skip this step and hide the numpad, revealing the option Skip this drive if you don't have the recovery key anymore, or just really want to start anew.
If the drive partition/boot manager is damaged, the Reset will proceed and will ask you to select a target operating system. In my case it was Windows 8.1.
7. The next screen will be about Reset your PC telling you what's going to happen. Tap Yes > Yes, repartition the drives > Fully clean the drive > Reset.
The tablet will now do its thing and restore to factory default.
After restoration, a BIOS screen will come up asking if you want to clear the TPM keys. Select Yes, and this will create a new key for the restored installation, bringing you back to a fully factory default tablet.
Notes:
I recommend not installing a generic Windows 8.1 ISO that is copied straight to the USB drive using the Windows 7 USB/DVD Tool or RUFUS. They won't be compressed or the same as WIMBOOT, which will take up more storage space than stock recovery.
You could actually install another version of Windows 8.1 on the tablet, assuming you know what you are doing (ie. making a WIMBOOT image).
You could also actually install Windows Technical Preview directly, again, assuming you know what you are doing.
This is just a guide to help you try recover your tablet from a failed Technical Preview installation. I hold no responsiblities over your actions.
What I recommend is that use 8.1 for now, and wait for the official release (or at least a more stable Technical Preview release for this tablet if you can't wait that long) of Windows 10.

Recovery itunes library from iPod (help PLEASE)

So I was stupid and didn't back up my iTunes library, I've now lost it all apart from a 128gb iPod.
Can anyone PLEASE advise how to transfer those songs from my iPod back into my iTunes library (iMac running OSX Yosemite)?
Much appreciate any help that can be offered...
Dan

Your i-device was not designed for unique storage of your media. It is not a backup device and media transfer was planned with you maintaining a master copy of your media on a computer which is itself independently backed up against loss. To use a device with a new computer you transfer the content from the old computer (or its backup) directly to the new computer, not the device to the new computer. Media syncing is one way, computer to device, updating the device content to the content on the computer, not updating or restoring content on a computer. The exception is iTunes Store purchases which can be transferred to a computer.
iTunes Store: Transferring purchases from your iOS device or iPod to a computer - http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1848 - only purchases from iTunes Store
For transferring other items from an i-device to a computer you will have to use third party commercial software. See this document by turingtest2: Recovering your iTunes library from your iPod or iOS device - https://discussions.apple.com/docs/DOC-3991

"no access to the digital certificate" - Trying to export my first iOS app from Flash - Help please

Hello
I'm trying to export my first iOS app from flash to my desktop / on the device (Flash Pro CC, Iphone5)
I followed the instructions on the adobe website to build an air app for iOS but on the last step it
doesn't export the app.
What I've done so far:
- Apple developer account
- creating the certificate + convert it to .p12
- app ID / Name etc.
- creating the provisioning profile from apple
- iOS Air app in flash (Only Text "Hello world" with a tween)
Now i have to load the certificates into Flash & enter a password (is it the password that
i entered in the certificate or from my developer account/ Apple ID password? Both didn't work at the end)
When i klick on publish in the last step than it loads a while but then i get the Error:
"no access to the digital certificate"
What is wrong? Can you help me please.

Also, I should say, when I go into my phone on the computer and try to install an app, I get this message:
Unable to start operation. Installer is already in use.
Any ideas

Capture Edirol V-8 into FCP - help please!

OK, here's my setup:
2 - Panasonic DVX100B's
1- MacPro (Quad)
1- Edirol V-8 (http://www.edirol.net/products/en/V-8/index.html)
FCP software
Here is my dilemma. I just bought the Edirol V-8 video mixer but have not gotten it yet. It does everything that I need it to do in a video mixer, but it does not have a Firewire output.
I do a 2-camera shoot (1 side, 1 overhead). I am trying to mix these signals on-the-fly thus avoiding a lot of FCP editing in post.
My question(s): What is the best way to capture the signal directly into FCP (using capture now) from the V-8? It has BNC and S-Video outputs but I've heard that these signals are of a low quality. I need this to be SD, DVD quality.
Do I need a card like a Aja Kona LS SD to capture the S-Video or BNC signal to FCP?
(http://www.usedvideogear.com/catalog/aja-kona-ls-sd-10bit-digital-and-12bit-anal og-capture-and-outp-p-748.html)
Should I return the V-8 and get something else that is in the $2K price range?
Should I get a miniDV deck, hook up the cameras to the V-8, then the V-8 to the miniDV deck and then go firewire into FCP?
I am "learning as I go" here, so ANY help is greatly appreciated!

Before you buy...make sure FCP will recognize the unit as a DV device...DON't take a salespersons advice on this factor.
We have the Videonics (now Focusinfo) MXProDV 4 channel switcher...4 analog in/2 out - 2DV in / 1 out.
We have two issues...FCP won't recognize it as a FW device, so can't directly do 'Capture Now' with it.
Secondly, our cameras are anywhere from 25 to 100 ft from the unit. FW cable length is best when under 12 ft or so. There are some FW repeater/boosters available (search this forum or google), which might help, but we've not tried them. (Besides we're limited to 2 FW inputs and work w/4 cameras)
I have been partially successful getting the switcher to recognize DV cameras on 25' FW cables, but not consistently.
If you purchase the unit, make sure it's from a reputable dealer (who will take the unit back if necessary) and save your receipts...run some tests to make sure it's solid before committing to it.
Hope it works for you. If it does, post back and let us know.

Sound problem with QuickTime .dv files exported from iMovie ~ help please

Hi
I have been working for ages on an important project which is intended to wind-up as a numbered edition DVD, limited to 50 copies.
When I worked in iMovie HD 5 this NEW PROBLEM didn't arise: I did what I thought was the right thing and bought iLife '06, then upgraded from the Apple site, so now I am using iMovie HD 6.0.1, iDVD 6.0.1 and QuickTime Player 7.0.4.
I've designed my own menus and the procedure as most anyone will know [thanks iCreate magazine!] is...you have to 'export' (or now 'share') the iMovie to QuickTime (or with QuickTime) which produces a .dv file which you then drag-and-drop into iDVD.
I've got 4 of these .dv files for the start-up and some menus.
THE PROBLEM IS whereas the sound (it's actually music) has been faded out (in synch with the image) ~ in iMovie everything seems fine ~ but THE QUICKTIME .dv FILES HAVE AN ANNOYING LITTLE "FLARE-UP" OF MUSIC AT THE END OF THEM.
Imported into iDVD, in preview: sure enough! ~ you hear the annoying, untidy-sounding snips at the end.
It's ruining my project ~ please help, someone!

I am having the exact problem, it's a real show stopper.
I have tested hardware, software, media as below.
Tested on
1 Intel 17inch iMac
2 G4 AGP 450 + 1.2Ghz Model
Each have a fresh install of iLife 06 on
Each have been tested with different project files.
Differnet music files
The issue seems to be with apples iLife software to me.
I am on the phone to apple right now, they only surgest I create a new user as it generates new prefs, but the above test has already rulled out preference files!
Also rebuilding and reinstalling, but again the above test has rulled that out as the 3 machines were freshly built.
I have already upgraded my graphics card in my machine at home to sort out preview problems with iMovie, hopefully it's not going to be an expensive audio card aswell.
If any 1 can throw any light on this please do as apple support can't.
Regards
Paul

Acrobat 9 Form won't mail from Vista- help please?

Id like to thank all past help from the forum. Sorry I haven't written my gratatude before this. That doesn't mean I don't apreciate the help. I've gone from one super frustrated and dissapointed user to someone slowly begining to apreciate exactly what Adobe 9 Pro really is, mainly from what I've picked up in this forum.
So far I've managed to make a registeration form that can be e-mailed to people, they fill it in and click the send button and I get it back. When it arrives, it even updates the database properly. I'm so proud about this achievment too... Except for when a Windows Visa and probably Windows 7 user tells me it doesn't work. They report an error when trying to send the form back! Grrrrr. What have I done wrong?
Just when I thought I was doing so well, this happens. It's been very hard for me to learn the fundamentals of Acrobat 9 Pro at an age when most people around where I live are struggling to understand how to program their microwave! -- Well not quite but I'm sure you get the meaning.
When I get a problem like this all I think of is that if I took the time to understand what I was doing it wouldn't happen. Then I wonder if maybe an easier solution exists. When I calm down and realise there are still some people in the world who are willing to help and not trash your efforts, I'm sure someone here will know the answer and hopefully, point me to it.
Once again, thanks for the help in getting me going with this software. I'm glad now I didn't buy some cheap clone stuff.
Doug.

I'm unsure if I can post a link here to the form. But I'll give you a run down. I used the "forms" selection of Acrobat 9 Pro to create a registeration form. It can be downloaded from my web site and sometimes we attach it to an email. Interested people fill in the form (at this stage it is being seen with acrobat reader in a web browser). There is a purple line at the top of the form with instructions to click submit form to return the completed form.
The form is "distributed" although I'm unsure what Adobe mean by this description. My guess is that the return end that does the record keeping is activated.
I might point out that I've had a lot of problems with forms and the Adobe solution is one my instructor at night school suggested. I thought offering the ability to return it by email or if that didn't work, print it and fax it back was enough until I learn a better way of doing it.
Although this looks like quite an nice way to do it, the delay in loading the form is one issue I am concerned with and the fact at least 4 of my 40 replies (so far) have had to fax it bothers me. I'm open to any suggestion (costly or otherwise) that is going to overcome this problem as forms become more and more important for my operations.
Thanks for your reply. If I can discover it it is in order to post a URL here to the form, I will.
Doug

How to create/call dynamic XML feed from CFC - HELP PLEASE!!

Hi All,
First off I'm a newb to web services. I'm trying to create the invoke a web service on a CFC for a XML feed. When I call the CFC directly all looks fine and is correctly formatted etc:

Can anyone please tell me where I am going wrong, or how the output for a XML feed called from a CFC should look in a browser etc?

Hey Dan....thanks for the prompt reply.
I added the wsdl and this is what I get when I call the service from this cfm page: http://www.prevu.tv/xyzTest.cfm
Have never seen output like this. Is this correct?
The web service I'm writing is also for some .net developers so it may be that I need to output as string also - this discussion has not taken place yet.

Losing audio when importing from QT, help please

I have been unable to capture footage from a handycam to FCP HD, so I decided to capture in imove instead and then export the footage as QT files so I can import into FCP. Exporting is fine, and when I play the files in QT I get both audio and video, but when I import the same files into FCP I only get the video and the audio has disappeared.
When I try to import the imovie dv clips, they play for a second and then the video stops but the audio continues. That's why I decided to convert them to QT.
I have no idea how to fix this. I tried extracting the audio in imovie and exporting that way too, but same result.
Any advice would be appreciated. Thanks!!
(The whole reason for these problems is that I can't seem to capture in FCP. FCP recognizes the camera, but can't seem to control it. It is set on Firewire NTSC basic, and I've played around with different settings on that as well. The camera is set to VTR with AV/DV out on........can't figure out why it won't work.)
Sorry for the long version.

Personally i'd try to iron out the wrinkles in your fcp capture process.
Is your camera on the approved devices list? If not, you might think about a new camera. if it's a sony, you ought to use firewire, not firewire basic as your device protocol.
Can you play out to the camera?
imovie captures a dv stream, not a mov and therein lies the problem with imovie files in fcp. but you ought to be getting unrendered audio (beeps until rendered) not no audio at all. Interesting.
What exactly is the camera?

Dv73060us connected to t v via HDMI Audio only from PC Help, please OS is Windows 7

I have connected my pc , using HDMI cable, to the TV, Everything seems to work well except for the fact that the audio is through the pc only. I went to control panel. hardware, sound and made the hdmi option the default.Audio still from pc only. Someone's help, please

wcrawf,
The brand of TV makes a difference sometmes... older Philips TVs in particular are fussy and have their own setup in the control panels (cannot recall where, this is from a thread from last ... Oct? I think I can find it if you need the info).
There is an "Order of Events" that needs to be followed; it is more important sometimes than others.
If the issue is a "simple one", then this may help as a "Check List":
Resolving HDMI Display and Sound Issues
Reprint of an earlier post - something here may work:
NOTE: If this does work, the "Hard Reset" rule applies - it should "stick", that is, you shouldn't have to do it this way each time - it's just a matter of getting it set up.
Order of Events - A "Hard Reset" of the HDMI Audio Setup:
Enable Digital Audio (S/PDIF)
Connect HDMI from computer toTV’s HDMI/DVI input port
Set your TV input to HDMI/DVI input. (You won’t have sound yet.)
Turn of the TV. Shut down the computer.
Boot the computer - wait for it to boot all the way. Log in.
Sound should be "dead" - no system sounds at this point.
All the audio should be going through the HDMI port.
If not, and you are getting sound, try setting "Digital Audio" setting (if you have it) as an option, [quote] "although this should not be necessary."
Remove any headphones and any other non-HDMI output from computer and Reboot.
If you get sound, it's still not ready - play with the sound output.
When you get it to the point where the sound is "dead" (while the HDMI port is still connected) after you reboot, you are ready.
Turn on the TV.
Check for Sound through the HDMI port. Should be working.
The FIX-ALL Link for HDMI:
I could take credit for this - but, you know - this is just not my area of expertise... Your solution may be here - almost everything that can happen to HDMI has happened to someone at some point. I've used this forum before - it's a great reference.

I hope this helps.

Cannot ssh into Mac from outside - help, please

Cross posting from another forum as suggested
This is a networking / DNS / Airport / SSH issue

Well, just for yuks, I would try configurating the
AEBS to forward port 22 rather than "another port
number", and see if that works.
The log snippet you posted says "Accepted password
for igor"; did you get prompted for your password
before ssh timed out? If so, that means that your
ssh client did manage to connect to your main
home Mac -- so maybe it isn't an AEBS
configuration problem
I suspect it is more of a How the Newer OS X Implemented SSH issue -- like turning on the reverse lookup by default.
