Need serious help with rendering small files

Okay so I have adobe after effects cc 2014 watched and spent probably over 30 hours watching tutorials and trying to render videos and everything is 10gb plus i feel like this is a joke seeing as everyone else i know is rendering 200mb by doing exactly what im doing in the same program.
Wasting my time & money here and starting to lose my mind please can someone help!

Basic Workflow
Watch the last video on rendering using the Adobe Media Encoder. That's the best tool to create a deliverable product. You can also use AME to create Digital Intermediates with production quality lossless or nearly lossless 10 bit or better codecs. Rendering is a very important part of making any video with any program and it's important that you at least understand the basics of Compression and MPEG (h.264) streams. The Vimeo or YouTube presets will work for just about any delivery system.
Type "rendering" in the Search Help field at the top right corner of After Effects and go through the resources you find there. I've been using AE since it was being developed by COSA and have been part of the development teams on plug-ins and even I use this new Search Help field all the time. Don't forget to use it.

Need urgent help with creating .war file ...

My boss gave me one day to create an app. that runs on Apache Tomcat 4.0.6. I managed to get it done, but now I'm trying to move it from my machine to the web server. Each time I try to create a .war file I get an error saying "no such file or directory". Am I missing a step here??
What I do is: go to the webapps/<appname> directory where the app. is located, type in jar cvf * path/to/application/appname.war.
I then get the "no such file..." message, then a message that says "added manifest" then lines on the screen that say adding: blah blah file. It goes through all the files in my app directory but I get no resulting .war file.
I'm so frustrated and confused at this point, any help would be greatly appreciated.

>

You just need to put the WAR name before the list of files.

What did you do to control the senstivity of the touchpad. Do you set it to low or med or high I tried all, it is very upsetting not to be able to master something as simple as this. I love the player I just got it yesterday the sound is beautifull although I accidently had it turn to high when it started to play.

I need serious help with my nano!!

So I was running the lastest iPod updater tool from Apple and I hit restore. The line went all the way then it said factory settings have been restored, although both the restore and update buttons were blacked out in the updater tool. The iPod never restarted like its supposed to when you restore it, it just kept on blinking do not disconnect. So I held down menu and the center button to manually restart it. It restarted in black and while blinking do not disconnect. The iPod updater program froze. I went to my computer and it said something like "Removable device" instead of "Andrew's iPod" and I clicked on it and it said it had to be formated. I hit no and then clicked "safely disconnect" and safely disconnected the iPod. I unplugged it and it showed a check mark saying "ok to disconnect". So then I disconnected to cable and it showed some battery ion then shut off. That makes no sense because it had been sharging for hours prior to this. Now when I plug it in it doesn't do anything. Nothing shows up on the iPod and I hit every button and nothing happens. The computer doesn't recognize anything. I need some help big time.

figured it out myself

Need help with rendering my files..."preparing video for display."

I don't know if I sent something to the trash folder from Final Cut, but for some reason all of my files in the timeline are unrendered, and every time I render them a message appears saying that it is "preparing video for display," and then they are unrendered again. What is this? Did I send something to the trash folder that keeps doing this? Is it a settings mode? Does it have to do with the space on my drives?

I'm having the same problems.
A friend of mine told me to trash the render files and re-render my whole project. He finds it some times gets rid of some of the glitches when you render along the way in steps.
I trashed the render files and of course the project says I need to re-render which I do. I can save the project, close it, and when it opens I get the "preparing video for display". Once that's done it has nothing rendered at all.
So I re-render, and its fine. I tab to another window and then back and it gives me the same message, completes and all my stuff is un-rendered.
So now I have a project that every time I render it can't save it or somehow it deletes the render files if I tab out of the program.

I really need some help with rendering

I am creating a video for a client, and he is going to stream it through his own player. He requires the video to play using dimentions of 430 x 242.
He wants to keep the file sizes as small as possible.
I am currently creating his videos using a 1280 x 720 composition, as this is the same aspect ratio as his specific dimentions.
I am unsure of the best settings to use for the best quality. I've tried MOV but am getting files that are 600+ MB, and I'm also trying MPEG4 but getting blurry, washed out results that look nothing like the preview in AE. I've tried Flash and it stutters.
My questions:
1. Should I render in 1280 x 720 and just ask him to re-size them through his player? (I assume most players can do this?) or should I render to the dimensions of 430 x 242? He doesn't have too much knowledge of video.
2. What is the best file format and settings?
3. Is it possible to re-set the render option defaults? I've played around with all of the setting so much that I can't remember how each file format was set before I started this project. I've tried re-starting AE but it still leaves me with the same settings as when I closed it.
Every time I post a question like this I get people telling me to 'read the basics' or 'we get asked this time and time again etc'. Please note that I have a disability and am finding this very tough - if it isn't too much trouble I'd just appriciate someone giving the information so that I can learn in from here. It will need to be explained simply as yes I am fairly new to AE.
I just can't seem to find anything which works. MPEG4's are giving me a suitable file size but then look blurred and washed out.
Many thanks for any help.

First question: What player is your client going to be using to play this? Everything depends on that. For example, if he's going to be playing the file using QuickTime Player, then the answer is pretty easy: create a QuickTime movie (.mov).
> Should I render in 1280 x 720 and just ask him to re-size them through his player?
No, not if you've been told that he wants a 430x242 file. If you make a big movie (in terms of frame dimensions) and have him resize it, then you're going to create much larger files than necessary.
> I am unsure of the best settings to use for the best quality. I've tried MOV but am getting files that are 600+ MB
The QuickTime movie (.mov) format is just a container format. It can contain video encoded using any of a large number of codecs, with any of a range of quality settings. The default is a lossless compression (using the Animation codec) that creates perfect images at the expense of larger files.
After you've added your composition to the render queue, choose QuickTime as your format in the Output Module Settings dialog box and then click the Format Options button in the Output Module Settings dialog box. You can choose a compression type, set quality, et cetera. People seem to like the H.264 codec for a good balance of size and quality.
See "Encoding and compression options for movies" for more information.

Need serious help with JSP + JDBC/Database connection

Hey all,
I have to build an assignment using JSP pages. I am still pretty new and only learning through trial and error. I understand a bit now, and I have managed to get a bit done for it.
I am having the most trouble with a Login Screen. The requirements are that the a form in a webpage has Username/Number and Password, the user clicks Login, and thats about it. The values for the username/number and password NEED to come from the database and I cannot manage to do this. The thing I have done is basically hardcode the values into the SQL statement in the .jsp file. This works, but only for that one user.
I need it so it checks the username/number and password entered by the user, checks the database to see if they are in it, and if so, give access. I seriously am stuck and have no idea on what to do.
I dont even know if I have made these JSP pages correct for starters, I can send them out if someone is willing to look/help.
I have setup 3 other forms required for the assignment and they are reading data from the db and displaying within tables, I need to do this with non-hardcoded values aswell. Im pretty sure I need to use for example 'SELECT .... FROM .... WHERE username= +usrnm' (a variable instead of username="john" , this is hardcoded), I just CANNOT figure out how to go about it.
Its hard to explain through here so I hope I gave enough info. A friend of mine gave some psuedocode i should use to make it, it seems ok to follow, its just I do not know enough to do it. He suggested:
get the username and pass from the env vars
open the db
make an sql (eg SELECT user, pass FROM users WHERE user = envuser)
index.jsp points to login.jsp
login.jsp get the vars you put into index.jsp
opened the db
is the query returns nothing - then the user is wrong
OR if the passwords dont match
- redirect back to index.jsp
if it does match
- set up a session
- redirect to mainmenu.jsp
Anyway, thanks for any help you can give.
-Aaron

Hi,
Try this... it may help you...
mainMenu.jsp
<html>
<body>
<form method="POST" action="login.jsp">
Username: <input type="text" name="cust_no">
<p>
Password: <input type="password" name="password">
<p>
<input type="submit" value="LOGIN">
</form>
</body>
</html>
login.jsp
<%@ page import="java.io.*, java.sql.*"%>
<html>
<body>
<%
try {
Class.forName("sun.jdbc.odbc.JdbcOdbcDriver");
Connection connection = DriverManager.getConnection("jdbc:odbc:rocky");
Statement statement = connection.createStatement();
String query = "SELECT cust_no, password FROM customers WHERE cust_no='";
query += request.getParameter("cust_no") + "' AND password='";
query += request.getParameter("password") + "';";
ResultSet resSum = statement.executeQuery(query);
if (request.getParameter("cust_no").equalsIgnoreCase(resSum.getString("cust_no") && request.getParameter("password").equalsIgnoreCase(resSum.getString("password"))
%>
<h2>You are logged in!</h2>
<%
else
%>
<h2>You better check your username and password!</h2>
<%
}catch (ClassNotFoundException cnfe){
System.err.println(cnfe);
}catch (SQLException ex ){
System.err.println( ex);
}catch (Exception er){
er.printStackTrace();
%>
</body>
</html>
I didn't check the code that I wrote. So you may have to fix some part of it. Also this may not be the best solution, but it will help you to understand the process easily.
The more efficient method is to check whether the result set returned from the database is null or not.... I hope you got the idea... Good luck!

Nothing. i get a prompt saying "the feature you are trying to use is on a resource that is unavailable." and then it goes on to say.. "Click ok to try again or enter an alternate path to a folder containing the installation package 'quicktime.msi' in the box below." and it already has two diffrent paths located in the entry box and i have tried them both and it keeps giving me the same message as i posted above. i am so lost and it dont help that i dont really know a whole lot about computers. i am stuck between a rock and a hard place.any input would be greatly appreciated. thanks!

Unfortunately, these sorts of msi-related troubles have gotten more complicated to deal with ever since Microsoft pulled the Windows Installer CleanUp utility from their Download Center on June 25. First we have to find a copy of the utility.
Let's try Googling. (Best not to use Bing, I think.) Look for a working download site for at least version 3.0 of the Windows Installer CleanUp utility. After downloading the utility installer file (msicuu2.exe), scan the file for malware, just in case. (I use the free version of Malwarebytes AntiMalware to do single-file scans for that.)
If the file is clean, to install the utility, doubleclick the msicuu2.exe file you've downloaded.
Now run the utility ("Start > All Programs > Windows Install Clean Up"). In the list of programs that appears in CleanUp, select any QuickTime entries and click "Remove".
Quit out of CleanUp, restart the PC and try installing QuickTime again. Does the install go through properly this time?
(If you do find a clean download site for the correct version of CleanUp, please don't tell me where it is. Without wishing to sound paranoid (although I grant it does sound paranoid), there is a non-zero chance that posting links to download locations for the utility here at Discussions leads to that download location being shut down.)

Need Your Help with Swapping SWF files

Hello,
I am need to swap Two SWF files. I am acheving this by make
one swf as a holder. call it main.fla main.swf file. Embed that
file into my html document. In that file I placed one button with
the
following action :
on (release) {
loadMovieNum("second.swf", 1);
in that file have a button with action to load the 3rd file :
on (release) {
loadMovieNum("3rd.swf", 1);
by loading them in same level (1) they will replace each
other. My problem is that my SWF files obtain some information
using combination of PHP and XML file. I have noticed when I place
the SWF with it’s required PHP and XML in separate folders
the SWF file is uploaded (swapped) but since the PHP files are NOT
run by the server my dynamically generated XML files are empty and
therefore the uploaded SWF file has not information expect the SWF
file. Is there any way to get round this problem?
Thank you in advance for your help and hope you have a great
day.
Cheers,
Babak

Need urgent help with service and file removal

Hi,
I need a powershell script that would stop a windows service ,wait for 2 mins, delete a particular file from C:\documents&settings and then start the service again.Is this possible ?
Thanks

Thanks for the reply chen. May be i was not clear in my query
I plan this because a particular file of configmgr is corrupt on workstations. So the service has to be stopped first before the deletion. I need to run this on many computers remotely. The import file will have the machines that need the script to be run.
The script has to run all the four steps on the machines based on the import file and export to a file with the results.How can i modify ?
The sequence will be as follows
Stop-Service -Name BITS -Verbose
Start-Sleep -Seconds 120
Remove-Item -Path C:\documents&settings\***** -Force -Verbose
Start-Service -Name BITS -Verbose

Need serious help with Vienna Soundfont studio

Hi there,
I am fairly new to the program, and would like to ask if anyone knows his/her way around my problem.
My intention is, playing a (percussi've) midi note via a program called 'guitar pro'.
This is no problem when I open an existing SF2 file in Vienna, but when I try to create my own virtual drumkit (-from hell by East West/Quantum Leap), things get screwy:
I managed to let Vienna load the current soundbank, but I wish to replace the samples in that soundbank with the ones from drumkit from hell.
The thing is that at one time, I could hear that tight triggered bass drum sound which I had imported in the current soundbank, on note 35, but I tried and tried, and I'm really stuck here...
could anyone please help me?
X-Fi Elite pro.
Guitar pro 5.

Well I hate the StringTokenizer I don't know why... but..
your while loop will loop through all three lines reassigning those two ints so you will only get the day/time of the last line.
I would return true if the day is available.
The way you are doing your return seems wrong you should only return false when you have an already booked date. In other words keep it all in the loop except put a return true after the loop because that means the date is not booked.

Need your Help with Swapping SWF File Problem

Hello,
I have two separate Flash SWF files which I would like upload
into the same HTML file. But I would like to load only one of them
at the time and would like to have a Button on each SWF Flash file
which causes the other SWF to be loaded.
hmmm.. I am not sure if I managed to make sense. :o) Let me
try it one more time. :o) I would like to swap one SWF file for
another SWF file by clicking on the buttons which are placed on the
SWF files! :o)
I was wondering if that is possible or I should think of
another way to get around this problem of mine.
Thank you very much for your help and have a great day.

I NEED SERIOUS HELP WITH THIS, i cant even USE my ipod, whatsoever....

I just got a new IPOD classic 80 GB for my birthday. I needed to update my itunes. Keep in mind, i had 7.3 before trying to update. So its downloaded, and as i start the process....not even 4 seconds in a screen comes up saying
"Another Installation is in progress. You must complete that one before contuining this one" along with a screen saying "MsiExec.exe has encountered a problem...". i've restarted my computer, uninstalled my itunes thinking that may have been causing the problem. i have no idea what program i need to install or is in the process already! the only thing i think i possibly need to register my ipod. this has been happening for about 2 hours and i'd really like some advice in solving the issue.

Registering your iPod just puts you in the Apple systems for tech support, etc. So it doesn't really change anything with your computer.
What I'd recommend, though is to completely uninstall all the software and reinstall like in this article. But if that doesn't work, I find that installing through another user account can usually resolve the issue for me (since it actually installs systemwide instead of just user specific).
I hope I was helpful,

Need some help with a small issue.

Im running my computer with a K8T Neo2, a Gigabyte Maya II R9700Pro, and 4x512 400 Mhz memorys (Unsure about the label.).
Recently i also purshased & installed a Creative X-Fi Platinum (Togheter with the sound system i bought a few days earlier.)
Also, at first i was just using 2x 512 RAM (Might be worth mentioning >.>).
Well, the problem is that for some unknown reason my screen goes wierd all of the sudden, I've tried all the "usuall" solutions (Re-installing the graphic drivers.. flashing the Bios, re-installed windows twice...etc etc.)
Ah, a picture says more then i can... http://img166.imageshack.us/img166/921/issuevn5.jpg
(Yes the lines appears to be blue while in the browser, but on the desktop they are red.
Everything was working just fine, untill a few weeks ago when the lines appeard for a short period of time, and all i had to do was start a game (Like World Of Warcraft), for them to dissapear.
But they keept appearing more and more often, and it became harder and harder to get rid of them.
(Now i got them permanently).
I've removed all the components in the computer atleast twice, and put them back in place.
It didnt help at all.
The PSU im using was kinda cheap (Some cheap 520w i bought to be sure it would be able to hold my system when i whent over to AMD64.), but its been working just fine untill recently so i kinda doubt that is the problem.
My first guess was the graphic card offcourse, Ive had it sinch 2k4 (i think...) and its been working "flawless" (Except for the issuess with AGP 8x), untill now. (Also tried it in another computer, it was working fine, atleast for the time we ran it.)
My 2nd guess was the heat, so i connected all the fans and pulled them up to maximum efficency So now i cant get it above 45 degrees. But this didnt help either.
So now im asking around if anyone knows what the problem is.

First off the Cheap PSU may be the cause. Look at the lable and make sure you have at least 24a on the 12v rail.
Second run Memtest86 and make sure your RAM is passing all tests several times.
Drop any Overclock you may have.
Make sure that you have the right Bios version for your CPU. The 3.x versions are for Clawhammers, Newcastles, and Winchesters. All other cores use 9.x Bios's. An X2 or dual core opteron should use 9.3.
Make sure you try setting 2T command rate as you have 4 sticks of RAM and most A64's will not handle 1T command rates when using more than 2 sticks.
Make sure both the front and rear case fans are operating.
Hopefully this is a clean install of Windows but if it isn't you are making your own troubles.
Oh and yah... POST COMPLETE SPECS... We aren't mind readers you know...

Need serious help with insatlling Leopard problem! Im gonna cry soon

I got a replacement Leopard DVD today from Apple, I lost original. So I installed it and all seemed fine but after it said it had to restart, I just have the blue scree, apple logo and spinning grey ball. My hard drive failed last week and I had to go back to Tiger on new hard drive and I have this cloned on external hard drive. What should I do. Please any suggestions will save my nerves from fraying any further! Thanks, Tracy

I have a repalcement Leopard DVD, I cancelled last time so Im trying again after booting from disc and verifying HD. Will post back. What does kernal Panic mean,
who mentioned kernel panics?
I don't believe you've had one. when a kernel panic happens you'll see a message in several languages that your need to restart your computer by holding down the power button. did you have one of those? You also, didn't answer my question. what kind of install are you doing? do you have tiger on your system right now? are you trying update and install? I think with a failed install you need to do an erase and install. boot from the leopard install DVD, reformat the hard drive using Disk Utility from Utilities menu and proceed with an erase and install.
