Non repeating frame - when/how to use

Hi,
How do I use a non repeating frame on it's own.
I have one query in which I have selected 3 fields.
In the paper layout, I have placed 3 fields in a non repeating frame.
When I run the report, I get a REP-1213 error - Filed 'xxx' at frequency below its group.
When I place the 3 fields ina repeating frame, it works, because the repeating frame property inspector allows me to enter the group and the non repeating frame does not.
So, my question is, when and how does one use a non repeating frame.
I need to understand the principle behind it.
Thank you

You mainly use regular frames to group objects together or prevent them from being overwritten. Check the help on About Frames.

Repeated frames when time remapping AVCHD clips in AE

I will try to explain the best I can. Keep in mind I am a novice and by no means highly technical. First some background: I edit sports video for college bound athletes. I put together highlight videos for them. When I am filming I start/stop the camera at the beginning/end of a play so I can easily identify/edit "clips". I have imported 10 AVCHD "clips" from my Sony HDR-SR11 to a Premiere Pro CS4 project. I am using the "AVCHD 1080i anamorphic/29.97fps" sequence setting as my output for this project will be a 1440x1080 mepeg2 file. So I get my clips in the timeline add some transitions, no major edits, render the work area and playback. Everything looks fine, all clips play smooth. Now here's the rub. I want to freeze play, highlight an athlete then continue play. To do this I am using AFTER EFFECTS (NOTE I have done this with HDV footage off my Canon HV20 camera with no problems) so anyway with the new CS4 edition I can right click on a clip in my timeline and choose "replace with after effects composition"....I do and the clip migrates to AE into a a composition ready for me to work my magic. So my method for freezing play is select the "clip" in the composition, Ctrl-Alt-T for time remapping. I add 5 seconds to the duration of the composition since I am going to add time when I freeze the clip. I find the point in the clip where I want to freeze it. I place a "time remap" keyframe at that point. I then drag my mouse to highlight the keyframe I just placed and the keyframe at the end of the clip......I drag them to the right 2 seconds, then cut/paste the keyframe I added which is placed by the CTI (which is still at the original point). Now I have a 2 second freeze in play. I add a white solid and do some masking to highlight the athlete during that freeze. And that's it.....I press "O" then "N" to define the work area then I choose "trim comp to work area" from the composition menu. I repeat this process to all my clips and here is where I see the problem. I go back to my timeline in PP and I play the clips......I see my freeze/highlight edits from AE just fine but on SOME clips......2 out of 5 for example.....I get jittery playback. So I decided to scrub thru the clip frame by frame to see what is going on. So within 29 frames this is what I see. Girl is getting ready to serve a volleyball....Frame 1-15....she steps forward to serve THEN at frame 18 she pops back to the starting point...IT LOOKS LIKE FRAMES 1-12 ARE BEING REPEATED. I scrub the rest of the clip and this happens at random points....a small block of frames gets repeated throughout the clip which in the end looks like "jitter" or "jumpy" motion. I follow the same workflow in AE for each clip BUT this "jitter" does not happen on every clip...only some. So is my workflow at fault or is AE/PP/Adobe still buggy when it comes to working with AVCHD codec?? Anyone else experience this, if so do you have a fix?

I haven't tested your theory yet Andrew but I did do this. In trying to track down exactly where these repeated frames are occurring. In AE I redid one clip that was repeating frames. I went frame by frame in AE and see no repeated frames. These changes should occur automatically in PP since the AE comp is still dynamically linked to my PP timeline. So I scrubbed the "source" (AE comp) file from the PP project panel frame by frame. And low and behold there are repeated frames, so it appears the problem is the handoff from AE to PP Sooooooo, ok I deleted the source file in the PP project panel and reimport it via dynamic link. Open the clip in the source monitor and yes...repeated frames at same point....recheck the comp in AE....no repeated frames. Delete the clip from PP project panel and this time import the clip directly instead of dynamic link.....repeated frames still there. So how about rendering the clip in AE the old fashion way then import to PP. AE Render Queue best settings - lossless.....blah blah blah. I ended up with an .avi file with no repeated frames. So to me the problem is the handoff between AE & PP. So rendering my AVCHD comps in AE first is my work around for now. Andrew...thanks! I will try your theory of converting the clip prior to the comp asap...right now I am trying to meet a deadline.

Why do I get repeating frames when exporting to QT MOV?

I have a Canon 7D and I'm shooting HD video files in 24p. I can import directly to the time
line in PE 7, but sometimes, when I export to a QT MOV file, the 3rd and 4th frame are exactly the same.
Original clips are fine, so it's something in the way PE 7 exports.
Strangely, I can have three clips on the time line, and two of the three will export fine, but one will show the duplicate frames!
I'm using the project setting of 1080i and timebase is 29.97 even though the camera is shooting at 23.97. Has anyone heard of this problem, and more importantly how to fix?
Thank you
Steve

I'm using the project setting of 1080i and timebase is 29.97 even though the camera is shooting at 23.97. Has anyone heard of this problem, and more importantly how to fix?
The Project Preset should match all aspects of your source footage. Having a disparity of 29.97 vs 23.97 will be problematic. Now, I am not sure what the options are for 24p footage in PrE 8.
Also, this ARTICLE links to many resources for DSLR footage and video editing.
Good luck,

When/How to use - "search" parameter type in parameter like other types.

We recently upgraded BI Publisher to 10.1.3.4. I saw new parameter type "search" in parameter section, when creating report. whats the use of it? How to use it ? like other parameter type Text, Menu,Hidden, Date.
I couldn't find any help or release notes on this !
Thanks
Ayaps

I started looking into this parameter type when our drop-down for customer numbers went from 13,000 (manageable) to 45,000 (completely unmanageable).
I imagine this is supposed to mimic the effects of a "Long List" type LOV in Oracle Applications (as I had inquired about in [this thread|http://forums.oracle.com/forums/thread.jspa?threadID=895521&stqc=true|Large List of Values (LoV) hangs. Is there an equivalent for a long list?]), but performance-wise, "Search" does not seem to be any more efficient that using the "Menu" type LOV. Even with the help of having a partial string with a wildcard to match, the "Search" still takes too long to pull up to be of any use to us.

Premiere adding repeated frames when overwriting with transitions

Hi,
Having a bit of a problem (software bug?). I work with groups of clips on a timeline with 5 clips for each group (Intro / segment1 / segment2 / segment3 / outtro) and each week we replace 1 or 2 of each segment so we don't have to do a complete re-edit each week (for example one week we may replace segnemt 2 in each group for the new week and keep 1 & 3 intact)
I'm replacing clips on a timeline using an Overwrite Edit while keeping the transitions from the previous clips intact (cross dissolve with center alignment). The new clip is IDENTICAL in length to the previous clip I'm replacing (so "handels" are already there) however Premiere is adding repeated frames to the head of the new clip (so the incoming image freezes up until half way thorugh the transition). One way I found to fix this is using the SLIP tool to drag the new clip to the left and line up the in point of the new clip to where it should be. I'd use this as a fix, however I'm replacing over 300 clips in some instances and it's just not time efficient to slip and tweak each one.
I hope this makes sense.
Anyways, has anyone else encountered this? Is it a bug? Any workarounds?
Thanks,
Phil

I hear ya, unfortunately in our case we actually don't have a choice deciding where each scene begins and ends because the first frame of the next clip is the next frame in the animation sequence (we have a tile wall floating with moving images over so the flow between the two clips needs to be seemless.) We use a cross dissolve where the overlapping frames match each other during the transition, so the 5 segments stitched together look like one consistant flow). We do this so we can swap out different content segments each week so we can quickly update rather than spending hours re-building the entire segment each week. If you've ever seen the FirstLook conclusion in the movie theaters before the movie starts, that's what I do Sounds like Ann's solution will work for us in this case.
Cheers!

When & how to use default settings option in job scheduling with BO 4.1

Hi,
With BO 4.1 we got new features and one of them is "Default Settings" option in the job scheduling. While scheduling a report in CMC we are getting below attached screen. I want to know when and how to use this option? while scheduling job on queries.
Please guide me to, thanks in advance.
Regards,
Mithun Pati.

Hi Mithun,
Below thread may give you clear idea.
The Purpose of the default settings is to have customized default settings for the enterprise. These settings would apply to any user who has access to Info view and wants to schedule a report. For example you can setup default values for "From" section of email so any scheduled reports use those settings. Similarly another setting we have defaulted is the number of retires involved and the seconds for each retry. Business Objects will not send out a failure emails unless the last retry has failed. The default settings should only be modified by an admin.
Purpose of Default Settings when scheduling a WebI report?

Frame overlaps repeating frame when I run the report

Hi
I created a report manually. On my designer, I have a frame, on top of which I have a repeting frame with all the fields and labels etc. However when I try to run the report, I get the frame on the top as a result the information on the repeating frame is hidden and report comes out to be blank. What am I doing wrong here?
Any help?
Thx!

If you have frames positioning like this, the bottom frame could take place of the top one:
    |             |
    |             |
|             |
|             |
--------------<br>
<p>
Solution is, move both to the left. If its not feasible, other solution is create another outer frame for the first one and maximize that to the left and don't show borders for that frame.
</p>

Hope this helps.

My Animation stops for 1-2 frames when sound is used.

Hello, I'm making an animation on Macromedia Flash Professional 8.
I have 3 layers, Sound, BackGround, and Main.
When I play the animation, and it reaches the sound that is supposed to play, the animation
first freezes, then the sound plays and it happens again when it reaches the next sound, tho nothing gets out of sync.
Is there a way for me to send you guys the animation so you can find the problem?

You may want to ask in the Flash Pro forum.
This is likely caused by something in your Actionscript.

When & how to use Instance.route(activityName) method in OBPM 10gr3.

Hi
Could some one please briefly explain the use of Instance.route(activityName) method & plz share if you have any examples on it
Thanks in advance.
Santosh K.

I tried your code and I have no trouble getting entries back. Looking at the internal code, if and exception occurs the method just returns an empty IList. So you need to check for something like this in the ULS logs "Cannot access ULS share
on \\{0}\logs", appears to be a permissions issue.

How to get the number of rows in a repeating frame ?

Hi all,
When I launch a report from forms then sometimes there are data in the report and sometimes there are no data. And the problem is that when there are no data then the frame containing the repeating frame is still displaying and a blank page displays on the report.
So I want to get the number of rows from the repeating frame so that I can code a format trigger on the frame to display or not the enclosing frame depending on the existence of data from the repeating frame.
Thank you very much indeed.

Dear Friend,
You can achieve this. Define a summary column (say cnt). Select summary type as "COUNT". select any one of columns that are getting displayed in your repeating frame as summary column and provide "reset at" group name (or set this to report if you are defining this field at report level) . This "cnt" variable will contain how many records that will be fetched for your repeating frame (i.e. Group of Repeating frame). You can use this "CNT" variable in your format trigger.
In this case there is no need to write before report trigger or anything.

How to properly create a non-repeat report block?

Hi everyone,
I am trying to create a front page for my report. In the report data mode I have a query only return one record, so why that query in the data model showed as a group? <It has the query name - Q_1 on the top, and a group box at the bottom named G_xxxx.>
Second question is why i use the report block wizard to create the frontpage, the wizard forced me to select a group, otherwise it give warning/error message. I only want to select the client name and his address and no need to repeat <so the frame should use the non-repeatable frame right?>.
At the moment, I have two queries in the data model, first one is the "select" query which will only return one record for the report's front page, second query is a matrix (cross product) query for the main contents of my report. Both query has no link.
This is my first Oracle report so any suggestions are the most welcoming.
Thank you
Bryan

Thanks DC
Thats what I was thinking too. Is this the only way to create a non-repeatable frame; no wizard can be use for create non-repeatable report block? Why I am asking this is because I am lazy, dont want to add all the fields and labels one by one to the frame.
Secondly, in the data model, is there any way to create a query which the data model will not recognise it as a group query but a single record query?
Regards
Bryan

How do i make a frame a enclosing a repeating frame appear only on the last page of a report?

I have a frame that encloses a repeating frame. How so i make them print only on the last page?

Assuming you have other content, you could:
set the Print Object On property to be last page.
anchor it to the main content that repeats on every page, so this frame only prints after the other one is done
Assign a format trigger where you make it display only if current page is equal to total number of pages
create a trailer and move the frame there

Problems accessing parameters within repeating frames.

I hope this is a more readable version of the problem I just submitted.
This is the overall layout of a report I am currently working on
and having problems with, using Oracle Reports 6i.
Departments Commitments Obligations
Dept 1 - Dept 1 Title
RCC 1 - RCC Title
RIC
Non-pay by RIC 308 1 1
Non-pay by RIC 438 1 1
Non-pay by RIC 514 1 1
Subtotal 3 3
Pay by RIC 514 2 2
Total RCC 1 5 5
RCC 2 - RCC Title
RIC
Non-pay by RIC 308 1 1
Non-pay by RIC 438 1 1
Non-pay by RIC 514 1 1
Subtotal 3 3
Pay by RIC 514 1 1
Total RCC 2 5 5
Dept n
Total Dept 1
Non-pay by RIC 308 2 2
Non-pay by RIC 438 2 2
Non-pay by RIC 514 2 2
Subtotal 6 6
Pay RIC 514 4 4
Total Dept1 10 10
I use a format trigger to calculate the data for
Non-pay by RIC 308 (the most inner frame).
If (:RIC = '308') then
Return (True);
Else
Return (False);
End if;
And I do something equivalent for the other two RICs, RIC = 438,
and RIC = 514.
With this approach, I am able to calculate subtotals and totals
for all the RCCs for each Dept.
I work one frame at a time, from the inner frame to the outer
frame.
My problem is to get the Total Dept section at the end of each
Department.
Total Dept 1
Non-pay by RIC 308 2 2
Non-pay by RIC 438 2 2
Non-pay by RIC 514 2 2
Subtotal 6 6
Pay RIC 514 4 4
Total Dept1 10 10
I get a frame error when I try this code in a format trigger
If (:RIC = '308') then
Return (True);
Else
Return (False);
End if;
I know this trigger fails because I am trying to reference the ":RIC"
parameter that is in a different repeating frame.
How can I check for the RIC at this level?
Is there a better way to tackle this problem? Any suggestions?
Thanks,
Carlos

Sounds like the source data for the Graph is the wrong Group.
