Media Disappears After Exporting to Soundtrack Pro

I have an HD project I'm working on that was shot on the HVX200. The files have been converted and imported into FCPS2 and the edit went fine. Then I tried to export the sequence to Soundtrack Pro for audio editing and clips started disappearing from the drive. The only solution I have found is to re-convert and import the files.
This has happened twice now and all the same files. What's happening? Does anyone know of a way to prevent this?

Reports of this strange file disappearing behavior surface every few months and almost always involve having both apps (STP and FCP) open at the same time. Speculation has been that somewhere in the round trip, FCP gets confused and believes the original files are renders and are deleted. And when FCP deletes something, it is gone.
The work around has been to make sure that both apps are not running at the same time - i.e. export your file from FCP then close FCP. Launch STP, make changes then export back and close STP. Launch FCP, import edited file back in and continue on your merry way.
This is a pain for certain. The other way is make sure you always have a set of the media stored offline (which you would anyway with P2 sourced files) and simply do an offline/online reconnect when the files go missing.
Good luck.

After exporting in Premier Pro CS6 my text flickers in the video

After exporting in Premier Pro CS6 my text flickers in the video, how do I fix it?

I have the exact same problem, but I'm actually using CC. I don't have an option for "match source high bitrate." Is anyone responding to forum questions out there?

Exporting from Soundtrack Pro - Trouble

I am having problems exporting from Soundtrack Pro. I haven't had these problems before.
I have tried to export a track to MP3 and to Compressor but all I get is the Exporting window and that's as far as it goes. It says, 'Time Remaining: Estimating...' but then that's it. I had even left it for a few hours and still nothing happened.
The program isn't frozen, just the export isn't working. Is this a common problem? Can it be fixed?
Many thanks.

I have the same problem...
I finished working on a project and when I tried to export it - it would start out just, tell me that it would be done in less than a minute and the just suddenly stop 1/4 of the way for no reason. Same thing happens whatever I do - in the same exact place. I spent a lot of time finishing this edit so I really want to get it back to FCP.
Can anyone help?

Export file disappears after exporting

Export file disappears after exporting
Tried dataexport(calc script), report script,need du=ynamic calc members too..
its urgent now....please help
But I have lots and lots of dynamic calc members...its huge...will take hours together to change...so I planned to make stored for only those members which are required in export file...but now...It seems that default calc is not getting executed... may be that happened because I changed few member properties...
Any thoguths why now dynamic calc is not working?
Thanks a lot for any help..its really urgent now...

Regardless of which limited export process you are using (dataexport calc script, report script, or MaxL/Esscmd export) I can't imagine the export file disappearing if it in fact gets written out at all.
As rinku wrote, if it's a true Esssbase export it's either in the app folder or where ever you wrote it with MaxL/Esscmd.
There are known issues with dynamic calc and dataexport. I've seen this myself and ultimately gave up on exporting the dynamic members. Yes, your changes could cause your exising aggregation scripts to give different results.
How about this:
1) Reduce scope of export process and remove dynamically calculated Accounts/Periods (a guess on my part, but likely right)
2) Export to known location (app folder under Essbase folder or some server-addressable folder). Btw, how are you doing the export? It wasn't clear from your post, but I guess it doesn't really matter.
3) See if that works, and if so, expand until failure. That will tell you what is and isn't going to work.

Audio Disappears After Export

I've come across a bug that's occurred twice to me in the past 3-4 months. When exporting a sequence out of Premiere Pro, the resulting file loses some of its audio. Here are the details:
A section of 10 minutes of audio towards the end of the project disappear in the resulting .mov QuickTime file
Export settings are
I cannot get the problem to reoccur after it has happened. It seems to be at random.
The first time this issue occurred, I used H.264 as the codec. So I know that does not fix the issue.
Both times I have sent the sequence to Adobe Media Encoder for export.
Here is a screenshot of the project, showing that everything in the audio mixer window is fine, as well as individual tracks in the timeline. I've set in/out points over the section that disappeared in the export. The green audio track in this area is the audio that was missing, the disabled clip above it is scratch audio and is supposed to be disabled.
Can anyone help me figure out why this issue has occurred? Both times it has happened have been in critical scenarios where the file needs to work (one being a backup in case our satellite feed has issues, and this most recent time it happened on our television broadcast without me knowing until after).

Hi Codyn,
I'm really not sure. And it sounds like it is not easily repeatable. Can you file a bug report? Here is the link: http://adobe.ly/ReportBug

Urgent: Can't export to SoundTrack Pro

This is really driving me crazy. Until 2 days ago, FCP and Soundtrack Pro were working together seamlessly.
Now, when I go to "Send" a sequence to Soundtrack, everything seems to be going fine, the progress bar is cranking, but when it hits 100% it tells me there was an error exporting to SoundtrackPro. The error window doesn't give any details.
This happens EVERY time. Whether I am exporting an Audio File Project or a MultiTrack Project.
Any help would be GREATLY appreciated. Thanks!

Hi,
I was wondering; did you ever solve your problem ? By trashing FCP preference and cash files for instance. Perhaps your problems started to occur after an automatic software update and you can relate it to that moment ? (You're on 10.4.4 right ?)
10.4.4 and the latest software updates have caused me nothing but problems and stange behaviour so far and believe me, I'm know a "little bit" about Apple software and solving problems. I think we might have to wait 'till 10.4.5. + Pro Application support 3.2 to get everything and running again
Nevertheless, I hope you've already got your SoundTrack up-and-running again, Cheers JFP

InDesign CC: Text in editable text fields disappearing after exporting

Hi,
I'm having an issue of text disappearing from editable text fields after exporting the document as an interactive pdf. I've created the text that needs to be editable in acrobat with InDesign CC. So for example, I want to have an editable text field that already says "I'm Mary." I want users to have an ability to change "Mary" to "Tom" or "Ben" in Acrobat. So the pdf should have an editable text form saying "I'm Mary" sentence when users open the pdf in Acrobat. However, after exporting, the text fields remains but the text itself "I'm Mary." is gone. I don't understand why this happens because the text is there when previewed in SWF preview window in InDesign.
The below is the list of steps I took.
STEP 1: Create some texts (For example, m with the text frame tool in InDesign CC
STEP 2: Right click the frame, and click on "Interactive > Convert to Text Field"
OR
STEP 2: Select the text frame, open "Buttons and Forms" window and change the type as "Text Field"
STEP 3: Export the document as an interactive pdf. The setting is default.
Result: When I open the pdf in Acrobat, the text field is there, but it is blank.
Please help me to resolve this issue. I know this is possible because a person before me at my job did it.
Thank you!

As far as I know, to have a pre-populated text form [I'm Mary] appear in the text field, you will need to set the Default Value of the text field in Acrobat. You can do that by selecting the property of the field > Options > Default Value

Corrupted audio when exporting in Soundtrack Pro 2.0.2

Hello, I am a sound designer and have been evaluating Soundtrack Pro 2.0.2 as an alternative to Pro Tools (I work with video editors who use FCP). The program has been working well until I have tried to export my work.
I have created a project containing audio of the same sample rate as both the project and the computer's hardware - 48kHz (eliminating a problem already highlighted by others) and using no DSP. Although realtime playback is fine, the exported audio contains blocks silence as well as wrongly mixed levels.
I have noticed firstly that the problem changes depending on where the loop markers are set. The problem is sometimes eliminated if there is a reasonable amount of silence at the beginning and end of the region being exported. Secondly, I notice that fades are not being exported correctly - either being exported as silence or as full level (as if there is no fade applied).
I have also tried using Soundtrack Pro version 1, and this exports fine. It's worth noting, however, that this version of the software does not allow the user to apply fades to the audio (without opening and editing the waveform itself).
Any help/suggestions would be greatly appreciated.

I know the problem you mean - the plugin settings are lost when exporting. I think this is a separate issue that has been fixed. An example of the problem would be when adding a fade to a sound, and then exporting. The fade portion of the sound would export as silence, but the rest of the sound would export fine. Very bizarre, and if no-one else is experiencing it, possibly it is to do with my machine. Unfortunately it makes the software unusable for me. My colleague, who is running the same setup as me, has exactly the same problem.
The main thing I like about Soundtrack is the ability to add effects non-destructively to each sound, and then go back and edit each effect later on. Also, the video display is good- showing you the video at the beginning and end of a sound when moving it, plus also where your mouse pointer is clicked. It has the potential to be a very good program.
Pro Tools HD is very good but very expensive. I know some people who don't like it, so I think its down to personal preference. It is used in every professional studio I have worked in, making it good for compatibility. You also won't find nasty bugs like the one i've described in Soundtrack - they've been developing the software for a long time. Personally, I find Pro Tools very quick to work with and very stable. Also, I would recommend Pro Tools LE if you're not going to be restricted by 48 tracks and lack of surround mixing.

Can I export my Soundtrack Pro audio files, including the video?

I'm new to soundtrack pro 2, could I export my audio files including the video?
I tried, but all i get was audio...
thanks!

Export -> Master Mix - choose the File Type -> *Using Compressor*, this will give you options for re-encoding or preserving the video file.

Help Needed : Video Glitch after exporting from Premiere Pro CC

Hi all ,
            I have been experiencing this issue for sometime now. I occasionally encounter a video glitch after exporting a video from Premiere Pro CS6 or CC. Sometimes it happens in my NLE timeline , which I have to remove the affected clip that has the glitch/flicker problem from my bin and re-import the clip from my original source, which solves the problem.
             However , the worst part is when the glitch/flicker happens when I have already exported the video when everything seems fine in the timeline of Premiere . My sequence settings do match with the clip . This issue happens intermittently as I always have to hope for the best when the video exports.
Here is an Example of what I mean, the glitch/flicker happens at 3:28 of the music video.
             Hopefully those who have the same issue can share how to troubleshoot this problem . Thank you.

Formatted fields disappear after exporting to Infoview

Hi Experts,
In my CR2008 report file, I have date fields which are disappeared after opening in Infoview.
Here is an example of the formatted date field:
{@StatementDate} =
if {@Timezone}="EST"
then cstr(dateadd("n",(5+{?Offset})*60,),{?DateFormat})
else if {@Timezone}="EDT"
then cstr(dateadd("n",(4+{?Offset})*60,),{?DateFormat})
{@Timezone} : This formula field checks if the PrintTimeZone falls in Daylight Savings or not and returns either EST or EDT
Similary, another formula field uses CurrentDateTime and returns the report run date in user timezone based on the {?Offset} value.
When {@StatementDate} is used in the report in CR2008, there is no issue. Everything comes up correctly. When the same report is opened through Infoview, the {@StatementDate} field is showing blank.
Please suggest at the earliest .Thanks in advance.
Regards,
Naresh

HI Jamie,
I've tried your suggestion. When using the Timezone formula to display in Infoview, it's returning 'E' instead of 'EST', where actually the formula is failing.
Timezone formula is based on PrintTimeZone function of CR2008 to extract the abbreviated form of the User Timezone who logs in and runs a report. So, it checks for daylight savings and returns the abbreviated form like EST or EDT or IST so on.....
In Timezone formula there is a loop which tried to extract the first character of the PrintTimeZone function and returns the abbreviated formula. If PrintTimeZone is Eastern Standard Time, -300, Daylight Saving, -60, 03.0.0 2:00,11.1.0 1:00, it first checks whether the current month and date falls in Daylight Savings or not and returns True if Daylight Savings, Then, it returns EST or EDT. This works for all the TimeZone across the globe
So, in Infoview, it returns 'E' and failing to extract the rest of the characters to form EST or EDT. Any clue as why this could happen? For now, I've hard coded the formula to return EST or EDT depending on the Daylight savings true or false.
Thanks
Naresh

Why did my sequence disappear after exporting the project?

After a late night of editing, I rendered and exported the project (mp4). This morning the client asked for an edit, but when I open the project, only the source media are there. There is no sequence, and I haven't been able to find the file. Suggestions?
(First project in Premiere Pro after several years of using Premiere Elements.)

Here are the steps I would take...
1) Look closely into your project panel to see if maybe it's in there, just looking like media to you (I've made that mistake before) -- maybe switch to list view and it might be easier to tell the difference and compare the names/types. Also try searching on the sequence name if you know it.
2) If it's definitely not in the project panel, then go to File > Open recent > and see if maybe there is another project in the recent list that may contain the sequence you need.
3) If it's still not there, then like Jim said, you must have deleted it... Go to your 'Adobe Premiere Pro Auto-Save' folder (usually in the same parent directory as your Pr project files) and open older saved versions until you (hopefully) find one with the sequence you need intact.
4) If all else fails... Do you use time machine or some other incremental backup system? If so, roll back to a state where the sequence is still available.

Picture disappears after exporting to Excel and saving.

Afternoon,
I appologise if this question has been asked before, but I did try search past posts.
I am using CR4E, the latest version.
I have designed a report with a Logo in the Page Header. (JPG). If I export the report as a Excel Report (Page Based), the
Picture is displayed as expected.
I can open and close the Excel Report as many times as I want and the picture remains. BUT as soon as I make a change to the
spreadsheet, and save, the Picture disappears.
I have tried using a BMP file, but still the same, I have tried having the picture in different sections but no luck.
If anyone has any ideas as to how I can keep the picture after saving the Excel version I would be greatly in your debt.
Cheers
Darren

Morning,
I have managed to find a work around, although I am not 100% why it works but it does.
I was unable to find a solution to the problem using the Eclipse version of CR, but I found a version of CR2008 at the office, and
using that, inserted a OLE Object attached to my Logo (JPG) and placed this OLE object on the report. My original Picture of the logo was left in its correct placement.
With this OLE Object, it appears that I am not able to export the XLS file and then manipulate the spreadsheet and save as many times
as I wish and the logo remains.
The only issue I have with the OLE Object, and this is probably down to my lack of knowledge, is that the Object contains
a text reference to the file name "Company_Logo.jpg" and that it. It does not display the picture or anything but the text.
I am then unable to hide this text or change the colour of the font to "hide" it. What I have had to do is make the object as small
as possible and place it in the bottom right corner of the report and hope no one notices it
So as you can see my solution is not the greatest but it is working.
Krishnan, I tried you suggestion of moving it the picture object back and forward did not help, and then your File Export Options
idea is not possible in Eclipse Crystal Reports (not that I could find). What version of CR would you be refering to?
Thanks for the suggestions/help.
Cheers
Darren
