New Capture Issue

Whether Batch Capturing or Now Capturing long clips, recently I find that when I leave FCP capturing and launch Safari or Photoshop, etc., I can't get back into FCP like I could in older versions by clicking on any of the FCP windows. Exposé can't help with this, nor can quitting the other applications. The only way I get back to FCP is when the Batch Capture has reached an end, or Capture Now gets to a timecode break or end of tape. This is extremely irritating, and I wonder if anyone else is experiencing this?

Brian,
Points well taken. But every FCP guru, Avid expert I've ever worked with or been taught by has said that the whole point of logging and then batching is to potentially save drive space, know your material, and to take advantage of batching time to do other stuff, especially when you have multple processor computers that allow you to multi-task. This problem with FCP is not a small one and I find it difficult to accept all these responses that imply I am not paying attention to my work (is going for a walk paying attention?) without addressing a very basic problem that should NOT occur with a sophisticated application and hardware like FCP and Mac.

HV20/FCP6/FW Problems/Capture Issues/WTH?!?!?!?!?!

Hello everyone. I have a Canon HV20 that was working fine for a day or two while I was capturing both HDV and DV footage from MIni DV tapes. I opened the log and capture window after changing tapes and BAM! it said it couldn't find the deck.
At first, I set the app up just like the Apple site said, and everything worked perfectly, even when dumping DV footage. Cameras setting never changed from factory default. Now this, and what's worse is that my computer won't recognize the FW device. I do have a G-tech plugged in as well, and with no HV20 the computer recognizes it in the FW800 port, but as soon as I plug in the HV20 the computer doesn't recognize anything though the drive still operates.
I get this from FCP:
"Device is not connected or the capture preset is not setup correctly. You may still log offline clips.
This might also happen if you play DV footage in an HDV device."
I get this from System Profiler:
"FireWire Bus:
Warning: Unable to list FireWire devices.
Maximum Speed: Up to 800 Mb/sec"
If your advice is to purchase a new 17" MBP, I just might since i have had it with this POS right now.

Assuming the your FCP6 setup has not changed:
Canon cameras do not play well with other devices (hard drive for example) on the same FW bus. My son had capture issues with a Canon HV30 and G-Raid 2 on a 2007 Quad Mac Pro.
The work-around:
Capture to an internal drive and move the media to the external, switch scratch disk, and reconnect media. (not ideal).
The "fix":
Purchase a FW card for the MBP Express card slot and connect one of the FW devices to it. (Each device on different FW Buses.

Looking from the many users complaining, I am a bit scared whether should i proceed update to ios 8.0.2 to my ipad 2 or not? Does any one know news whether issues will be really fixed or should i stay on version 7 only?

looking from the many users complaining, I am a bit scared whether should i proceed update to ios 8.0.2 to my ipad 2 or not? Does any one know news whether issues will be really fixed or should i stay on version 7 only? Can appl,e has any plan to migrate their Ipad 2 customers to use or take new Ipad with some exchange offers ?
please I expect a quick responce to my queries. I am waiting eagerly what to do now?

Ipad Air dead after installing IOS 8.0.2
I have just downloaded and installed this version of IOS on my Ipad Air and it is DEAD.
It won't start up.
When I connect my Ipad to my MacbookPro, Itunes tells me the following:
"iTunes has detected an iPad in recovery mode. You must restore this iPad before it can be used with iTunes."
What now? restore? try to remove 8.0.2?
what a misery!!

Select the textfield that is inside the movieclip and in the properties panel you should see a dropdown for selecting the type of textfield. If you select Dynamic and then assign an instance name to the textfield you can use that instance name in your code to assign the text when the file runs. If you were to name the textfield "tField", then the code you would use inside an instance of your movieclip named "mClip1" would be...
mClip1.tField.text = "your text";
So, if I have multiple buttons, using your example, would the code read
mClip1.tField.text = "your text";
mClip1.tField2.text = "your text2";
mClip1.tField3.text = "your text3";
mClip1.tField4.text = "your text4";
And my buttons are built inside movieclips, ie
Main Timeline > aboutButton_mc > aboutText_mc > "about"
 > contactsButton_mc > contactsText_mc > "contacts"
can the code be put at any level, or does it need to reside on the Main Timeline to access all the movie clips' text fields?
Just in case this may be too complex to get into via this forum, if you know of any good tutorials, that would be awesome too!
I tried doing a search, but it's so hard to tell if they might be in AS2, or AS3, and if they would apply to newer versions of Adobe Flash (I have CS5)

New format issues

Hi,
I guess these might be issues with incomplete migration to the new format but I'll post them here nevertheless:
Incorrect post count - The "total number of posts" in the user information seems to reflect the total number of posts online at the time of the transition instead of total number of posts to date
Joined date changed - the "date joined" in the user info seems to have changed for me - no biggy but this might point to other problems
Incorrect migration of old formats - the old discussions had the editor shortcuts "ii " at the beginning of a new line to create italic text - all these post now display "i " at the start of such lines (with the text not being in bold)
Level info missing - according to the help file, a user should be able to see his/her level per topic as well as overall - I was not able to find this information at all
But then, I am happy to see that you are keeping to make improvements to this forum and I thank all of you for your work - I am especially happy about the new "Preview" button for new messages!

Another items is:
Email Notification do not use subject of topic -
In old system the email notifications showed for example "New Formatting issues", or "Re: New Formatting issues". On new system email notifications so as example:"Apple Discussions forum "Feedback about New Discussions" has been updated by Andreas Amann", or "Apple Discussions forum "Feedback about New Discussions" has been updated by John Smith", and so on. Makes it impossible to thread post by topics because all notifications only change if the post is from another group.

Macam or Parian cause capture issues???

Hello all - I've been having capture issues with my HDV stuff (Crashes during capture - I posted the details under 'Crash under HDV log and Capture' if anyone can help me out with that issue and this is slightly related...
People elsewhere say that Macam or Parian can affect Final Cut - any experiences with that? any other programs that I should avoid that could negatively affect my fcp performance?
Thanks!
- John

I'm using FCP7 on Snow Leopard.
Any idea as to what could cause fcp to crash during capture (HDV to ProRes) if it's worked more then a dozen times prior??? Any other programs could affect such things? Nothing has been installed or changed on my system in over a month.

24p advanced capture issue

hi, folks...
posing an old question that was never completely resolved because i've bumped up against it again.
here's the situation: i've shot and edited hours of footage at 24p advanced on a canon xl2. captured using 2:3:3:2 advanced pulldown removal without problems-- edited nicely into sequence.
but somewhere along the line something happened. now when i capture 24p footage and edit into the timeline i get motion blur every fourth frame (the pulldown frame?) the only way i can get a clean clip is if i capture 23.98 footage using the DV NTSC (30 fps) setting rather than 2:3:3:2 pulldown, then use the "advanced pulldown removal" feature from the tool bar after the fact (thanks patrick for this work-around).
so... situation is i can deal with this funky capture issue but it's an extra step and a pain in the rear-- anyone have any theories on how this happened and/or a permanent fix so i can shoot and capture the way fcp is supposed to work?
btw: checked the camera set-up again -- still 24p advanced, triple checked my fcp capture and sequence settings-- it's all at 2:3:3:2 pulldown removal and 23.98 as it should be. clip analysis on captured clips shows frame rate coming in at 23.98... as it should. couldn't find anything on topic in the search. appreciate thoughts. thanks much.

have you changed or downloaded anything at all that
might force the change in procedure, like a quicktime
update perchance, ipod update maybe???? just fishing
for a clue......
thanks, zeb... but no. i do remember the day things went haywire-- i captured footage off one of the reels and noticed two of five clips had captured at 29.97 instead of 23.98. it was puzzling but i went back through capture presets, sequence, etc and remember double checking and resetting all the pertinent settings before going back and recapturing the footage that had come in a 29.97. it then captured at 23.98-- but the every-fourth-frame motion blur issue cropped up at that point. and it's been happening ever since.
i know the fcp settings are correct -- i just don't get it.
fyi... i notice that as footage plays out through the firewire from the xl2, it looks fine in the camera viewfinder but i can see the motion issues on the log and capture window as it plays-- this is obvious even before initiating capture.

So many capturing issues...Can anyone help?

Hello fellow editors,
Over the past 2 weeks I have been struggling to fix my capturing issue. I have read the forums and have tried everything people have said about revlevant issues. So I ask for some help please.
I am editing on FCP 5 I use a Duel 2.0 G5 2.0 GB ram, I use 2 internal drives and 2 Lacies external. My deck is a JVC Mini DV/SVHS combo model number SR-VS30U.
So here are the issues either the deck fails to initilize or FCP sees the deck but the Preview is disabled and not allowing me to capture.
How do I fix this, I have been capturing often but just recently have started seeing all these issues.

So here are the issues either the deck fails to
initilize or FCP sees the deck but the Preview is
disabled and not allowing me to capture.
An obvious question: any adjustments - upgrades to Mac OS X, FCP, QuickTime 7 or alterations in hardware - in your system since your system decided to go AWOL on you?
Also, in terms of FireWire control, (not familiar with the exact model, so sorry if this isn't applicable) do you have device control but just not the ability to preview within the Log & Capture Window?
And do you have the ability to monitor externally? I've found that - in FCP 5 - if the deck is turned off for any reason - I shut it off once when a tape got jammed - the Log & Capture window will not be able to Preview but I was still able to Capture - and Batch Capture, at that - thanks to external monitoring.

New iMovie '08 problems -- FireWire or new device issues?

Not sure if this is an iMovie '08 problem or an OS X problem. Here's the story --
Prior camcorder was a Panasonic, MiniDV format. Hooks up nicely with iMovie, via FireWire (400). I also have a WD My Book (500 GB) device to store the raw data (Event Library), which connects via FireWire (800). In the past, all three devices (Panasonic, My Book and MacBook Pro) all played nicely together.
Fast forward to now. Bought a new camcorder (problems with the Panasonic). It's a Canon ZR950 (MiniDV). With iMovie running, I first connect the WD device which is successfully mounted. I then hookup the new Canon and within a few seconds I get an error about a "device not cleanly shut down" (or words to that effect). Odd .... and when I try to connect to my new camcorder, I get a "no camera connected" error.
Rebooted, retried .... same issues. Another time I first connected the Canon and this time, iMovie successfully sees it. I go to connect the My Book and then the camcorder drops out.
So, it seems I can have only one FireWire device connected at a time, which is odd since I didn't have this issue with the old Panasonic.
Help!

Interesting that you based your purchase on CR magazine because I too use it like a bible. However, when it comes to video cameras, I think they are way off base when not considering the editing side of video making that goes along with any camcorder. Who shoots video simply to plug it into a TV for playback?? If they were doing responsible reporting on this particular subject, they would also include computer capture and editing details in the reviews. Lots of the new format cams don't even work with Macs and the ones that do generally give lesser quality after conversion than what you can still get with tape. At least you made the right decision there!

Opening a form in a new window issue

Hi..
I have this requirement where I have this page(say XYZPG.xml) which contains a table which is auto populated based on a particular setWhereClause and all this happens in the processRequest as the page loads.
This page opens on clicking a button in a previous page from where all the parameters for the setWhereClause is sent using fireAction.
Each Row in the results table in XYZPG has a "detail" button which opens another page in a new window using _blank in the Target Frame.
The issue is that when Iam clicking the "detail" button,the new form opens in the new window and after closing the form that opened in the new window when I start to perform any action in XYZPG a null pointer is encountered in the processRequest while trying to fetch the setWhereClause parameters.
Please help in this issue.Its urgent.
Thanks

That's because when you close the child window, control returns back to parent form's processRequest. Which version of EBS you are working on? OAF has in-built popup windows feature supported on latest EBS versions which is very useful on many occasions as it has good features like popup closing automatically when a submit button is clicked etc. Check JDev user guide and see if you can use popup windows for your project. If not, you have to capture the event in processRequest and perform required actions again.
Thanks

FI-New GL Issue - Inconsistencies in time of creation in Table FAGLFLEXA an

Hi,
We are facing the following issue in ECC 5.0 with New GL Active
When a journal entry is created, the current time is captured (EST) at the header level of the document and is available in the BKPF table. The same document is also updated in FAGLFLEXA table. However, in this table the current EST time is not shown as the time at which the document posted. It is showing corresponding GMT time.
So for example if the document is created at 13:00:00 EST, in BKPF the time shown is 13:00:00. However in the FAGLFLEXA table, for the same document, the time stamp is 18:00:00. (which happens to be GMT time).
This is resulting in inconsistencies with respect to BW extraction.
All the configuration relating to time zone at the general settings level are set to EST.
If any of you have faced this issue and resolved it, please inform as to how you had resolved it.
Regards
Kiran I

Hi,
Use the safety interval (lower limit) as a buffer.
Safety interval = Difference ( EST - GMT) + Actual safety interval (example 1800 s).
Hope this helps.
Kind Regards,
Kurt

Lumia 1520 Purple Tint Issue/Video Capturing Issue

Hello all..Just got my 1520 yesterday and found out video captured at low light contains purple-ish/pink-ish color around the corners. So I went back to the Nokia store and ask for change, but turned out all three devices tested also having the same issue. The staff said this is the quality of low light video, nothing's wrong, and they cannot change a new one to me.
I went and do a testing on the gradient color map and turn out the gray colors are indeed show as purple, exactly the same issue on my old N8, just this time is even worst, it's affecting the quality of the video.
Besides, checked on few videos on youtube, some of videos having same issue too...
Anyone else having this problem? Reckon the issue due to software or hardware? Thanks.

If your doing testing indoors where your using CFL light bulbs i think its a know feature
even my eyes did it yesterday when i stared at a CFL light bulb and looked away hehe
but hey i might jsut be mad :¬)

File naming-new capture

Just upgraded to PP6 and have a bit of a problem. When I do a new video capture from tape, PP will not let me name the file. The process seems the same, but when I type in my new file name, I get an error message saying "cannot change file, keeping original name". When I check my folder, the file is there with the name "untitled clip 01", ect. I can rename the clip in the folder, but when working on a large project this gets to be a pain. I figure this is a feature of some sort (auto save?), but can't figure it out. Any help?
Thanks,
Steve

Has this been fixed in the new update 6.0.2? I'm afraid to update with all the issues coming from 6.0.2.
Thanks!
Anybody?

Adobe premiere pro cs4 capturing issue.

The camera that I have is a sony hdv cam £1200, my pc is a quad core system with a firewire port on the back of the motherboard (new system). My friend who used it previously used it on his apple mac and had no problems in capturing. This is the first problem, I plug in the firewire cable with no notification of new hardware installing(dont know if there usually is). I load up cs4, hit F5 and it states that the device is offline. The settings on the camera, as far as i can see, are all setup aswell as well as the preferences on premiere.
Thanks for reading and if anyone can shed some light on this then thanks!

Welcome to the forum.
I'd suggest starting a new thread, so as to not get folk confused on your particular system and issues. Heck, I have trouble not being confused with but one system.
When you do post, the more info that you can provide, the fewer questions that will be asked. This ARTICLE will give you some tips. In your case, you would add all necessary info on your camera too.
Good luck,
Hunt

Freakish capture issue

I have been successfully capturing HDV footage from my Sony Z1U over 86 reels since last year with no problem.
Until today, Reel 87 comes up with a conundrum. And it's an important job (graduation) for a big client (to us.)
What happens is this: At 10:38 into the clip, the captured clip starts back at an earlier point and continues that until media end. In other words, we are unable to capture the final four minutes of the footage beause it is overwritten with earlier footage from the same clip.
I have been using Capture Now a lot, and have never had such an issue. One of my attempts to fix has included logging and batch capture, which results in the exact same clip error. The clip looks the same in Quicktime, so it's not just an FCP viewing error.
After deleting the clip, I have tried to recapture several times, changing hard drives by unchecking the first one where the problem occurred. Every time the result is the same: last four minutes overwritten by earlier footage, even though the missing footage is visible on the monitor as it is being captured.
Is there any other way around this?
I would really appreciate any help on this issue.
G4, dual 1Ghz Mac OS X (10.4.6) 2 internal, five firewire

I went back to the original drive, and found that in Quicktime the clip is fine.
But when I import that clip into FCP, it goes back to the truncated condition, just as before. Making a copy of the clip on the desktop does not work, nor does importing into a new project.
So the problem resides in FCP, not in the capture process itself. Timecode appears normal, as it does in the truncated FCP clip.
Needs more work. Thanks for the suggestions. All helpful.
Did FCP make some error in its internal data during the original capture? Is there any way to clear that data?
