Max clip length?

For some reason I can only get a clip as long as 30 mins. Is that the max?

Have you solved this yet? I'm importing home movies that were stored as DVD iso images. iMovie says it successfully imported my DVD which is 124 minutes. However, the clip length in iMovie is truncated to 35 minutes or so. It looks like there is a 2 GB limit on the .mov file that iMovie creates.

Compressor quality changes with clip length

Hello,
Im on a max OSX 10.6.5, compressor 3.5.3, FCP 7.0.3.
I am taking footage off the SONY XDCAM, running it through the XDCAM Transfer software and having it wrapped in quicktime so i can edit in FCP. The project was filmed in HD 1280x720, XDCAM HD422, 720p60(50 mb/s).
The destination is SD DVD.
Problem- Since going from HD to SD can be a bit tricky, I made a half dozen sample compression clips. I found that the compressor DVD 90min Best quality preset with a slight bitrate change to look the best. When I compress the 3 minute clip, it looks really great. But when I compress the entire sequence (only 83 minutes.. well within the 90 minute preset) it looks like garbage. The difference is night and day. What is the issue? suggestions?
Thanks,
Brian

Sorry for the slow reply, I hit the road for a while shortly after posting...but I'm back.
Also, I'm embarrassed to say that the problem turned out to be the nut holding the tool (in other words, user error). It doesn't matter how carefully one changes the clip length if you somehow forget that clicking on the clip then selecting "pasteover at playhead" does not paste the selected clip but pastes whatever is in memory. As I'm sure you can guess, the clip copied earlier was 3:12 in length.
Sheesh.
Sorry for the false alarm, and thanks to both of you for the help.

Clip length revert in themes

Hey all--
I'm an iMovie newbie with a question about themes. I'd like to use some of the theme elements, but whenever I drop in a clip it reverts to the original clip start point and doesn't retain any of my clip length edits. Do I need to prepare my clips differently or am I missing a setting or..? Any ideas?
Thanks for your help!

Welcome to the forum, Myrah.
You got it just about right; you're not missing something. There's a bug in themes that causes a clip placed in a Drop Zone to play from the beginning of the clip's FILE, not the beginning of the clip.
The trick is to export (share) only that clip to a Full Quality movie, then import THAT movie to the project and drop it in the Drop Zone.
To export (share) just one clip, check the "Share selected clips only" checkbox in the Share dialog window.
After the theme has been rendered you can discard the clip.

How to retreive the max data length of a column

Hello All,
I know how to do a select to get the max data length of a column it is this :
SELECT MAX(LENGTH(COLUMN_NAME) FROM table.
However, I need this information combined with my SQL that returns the Data_type and length from the USER_TAB_COLUMNS. So taking the emp example if the ename column was 50 as VARCHAR2 but the max data entered in it was just 20 I want the information like this:
SELECT COLUMN_NAME, DATA_LENGTH, and the Max length of 20
FROM USER_TAB_COLUMNS WHERE TABLE_NAME='EMP';
I don't know how to get the Max Length of the Column in this table. Can anyone suggest me a hint? An Inline view maybe?
Thanks

Still not sure about your requirements, but how about this
SQL> CREATE OR REPLACE FUNCTION get_max_length(p_table in varchar2, p_col in varchar2) return pls_integer
2 is
3    v_cnt pls_integer;
4 begin
5    execute immediate 'select max(length('||p_col||')) from '||p_table into v_cnt;
6    return v_cnt;
7 end get_max_length;
8 /
Function created.

Clip length and Workflow with iPhoto (I need a pdf for a final...)

I'm feeling like a total lunkhead after taking a number of passes at this in the past year.
Short question:
How do I control clip length in iMovie? Does it work one way when you bring images in and another way when you bring in a slideshow?
Long question:
I need to get from images organized in iphoto to a pdf or ppt presentation and right now this means I am organizing the photos in iPhoto (a breeze), exporting as wmv and then importing this into iMovie. In iMovie I am just adding a title on the first "slide".
Now I am trying to make sure I have no dissolve effects between slides, make sure I can control the length of each slide and to get this exported into a "manually" advanced pdf.
At some point I would like to get some vector based linework into my presentations as well and for some reason I am bypassing Keynote in the above setup.
Can anyone help me get to a manual pdf so I can get out of the ditch here?
Thanks for any help.

It sounds like you've got a somewhat complicated issue.
I'm simply trying to create match a single image file with a 35:00 min podcast so I result in a movie that I can upload to Vimeo (they don't accept audio, only video). I'll watch your post to see if anyone can explain making still images longer (mine caps at 10:00 min).

SELECT_LIST_FROM_QUERY max query length

Is there a max query length for SELECT_LIST_FROM_QUERY?
I have the basis of a list working OK but when I tried to make the query more complex to meet the business requirement I am getting a
ORA-06550: line 1, column 845: PLS-00103: Encountered the symbol "end-of-file" when expecting one of the following: ;
I have tried to ensure that I have all the quotes strings working and the like.
Thanks
Mark

Mark,
How long is your query? The SELECT_LIST_FROM_QUERY function accepts the query as a varchar2, so it’s "limited" to 32767 characters.

Change default import clip length

Is there a way to change the default import clip lengths? It seems the default import length is 5 sec (00:05:00). So all photos import at 5 seconds. I would like to import all my photos to come in at 1 frame (00:00:01).

When you select a photo in the Photos Media pane, does not a "Photo Settings" window appear? You can drag the slider all the way out to 60 seconds if you like.

Imported clip length

I am using iMovie HD 6.03 to import Video 8 via a Canopus ADVC-55.
There seems to be a default imported clip length of just under 20 minutes.
I cannot find a way to adjust this, or a relative article in the iMovie help.
Can anybody advise?

that indicates, you're trying to import to an ext. harddrive, which has the wrong 'format' (fat32=Windows...)
before using an ext. HDD for video processing, you have to use the DiskUtility and 'erase' (format) the mepty drive to hfs/Mac...

Clip Length

I am trying to make an animated movie. How can I make all my clip lengths, several hundred, the same length in one go? eg 0.1 of a second.

oldscotsbloke
From your prior posts, you appear to be working with Premiere Elements 12 on Windows 7 64 bit.
Are these clips - videos or stills? For now I will assume stills.
For now I will assume that you are set up for NTSC (30 frames per second) and not PAL (25 frames per second).
If you want all clips with duration of 0.1 second
a. import, take to Expert workspace Timeline, select all, right click anywhere in the selection, select Time Stretch, and set the Time Stretch dialog Duration field to 0.1 second which would be 3 frames. So you set the timecode Duration readout in the Time Stretch dialog to 00;00;00;03 (hours;minutes;seconds;frames).
or
b. BEFORE importing any, go to Edit Menu/Preferences/General and set the Still Image Duration to 3 frames.
Then AFTERWARD all stills imported into the program will have a duration of 3 seconds until you go back to preferences and change the setting.

Photo clip lengths - trouble adjusting!

I have a new project consisting of 80-100 photos, all with a transition in between. Via Project Properties (Apple Key - J), I can set the photo duration but it's only in even increments -- 2 seconds, 3 seconds, 4 seconds, etc. I want to pick 2 1/2 seconds but the slider scale won't let me do that.
If I try to select just a photo properties (Apple Key - R) manually, from 2:00 to 2:50, it auto-adjusts it to 3:20. Having it set to that (or higher) makes the overall project runtime too long. Can I get it to something between 2 and 2 1/2 seconds??

There is an interplay between clip length or photo length and the length of transitions.
For example, if you have two photos each with length 4 seconds and 0 frames, and a transition between them of 30 frames (1 second), then each photo will have a length of 3 seconds and 15 frames. Note: this behavior can be changed in either Preferences or Project Properties: I can't remember which (this applies to clips).
Further, when you set the length of the photo to 2:50, you are really setting it to 2 seconds and 50 frames. In the NTSC system, one second is approximately 30 frames, so 50 frames yields 1 second and 20 frames ( or a total of 3 seconds and 20 frames, as you observed.)
Two and a half seconds in this notation would be 2:15.

What is the max. cable length that the Differential TTL signals can run in both at high and low frequencies?

Hello,
I want to now the max. cable length that the Differential TTL signals can run in both at high and low frequencies.

That is very dependant on the type of cable, its construction, and inherent impedance and capacitance. This may be of use:

Max track length

I'm working on Garageband 5.1 on my macbook pro
After getting through over 5 hours of editing an audio book I find that GB5.1 limits the length of a track to something like 5 hours 33 mins! I still have another couple of hours to add to my file.
Having read around I can see that reducing the BPM will allow a longer file length, so I have done that - only to find that all my editing is spread out with seconds of dead-air in between the segments of audio.
1. Is there a way to increase the max track length other than changing the BPM?
2. If I have to increase the BPM how can I stop it knackering my editing?
Hope someone can help!

If it's like a book, say 25 chapters, can you not just make it 25 tracks? then you could save each chapter separately and put them in iTunes as Chapter 1, 2, 3... etc.

ACE - MAX PARSE LENGTH

Hi,
Recently, we have tried to migrate one of the web services that is fronted by the Cisco ACE 4710 and we observed that some of the HTTP packets were dropped by the ACE 4710 as the maximum parse length (e.g. HTTP header) exceeded the default length of 4096 bytes.
We’ve resolved the issues by configuring a HTTP parameter to accept HTTP packets with parse length exceeding 4096 bytes.
Sample of configuration
parameter-map type http http_parameter_map
case-insensitive
persistence-rebalance
set header-maxparse-length 8192
set content-maxparse-length 9192
length-exceed continue
Does anyone know what is the recommended parse length to be configured on the Cisco ACE 4710 and are there any security or performance implications to configure the load balancer to accept HTTP packets that exceed the maximum parse length?

Hi Dave,
By default the max parse length as you know is 4096. If ACE has to look in for a cookie or something else in header beyond that then you need to increase the parse length accordingly. Maximum you can set is 65535. If the traffic still gets dropped and you see increase in dropped counter due to max parse length exceeded, then you can configure length-exceed continue which i see you have already done.

Max field length

HI Experts,
In SAP normally max field length is 255 characters.....but if i want to store 1000 character string into my field how can i do this..
any ideas..
Thanks
PT

Hi,
We can store in another way.
By creating table with the fields as in the structure 'TLINE'.
Two fields are there, one is for Line format and another one for Line Content.
In SAPscript, this is the concept used.
Using function module 'CONVERT_ITF_TO_ASCII', you will get your original text.
