"Notching" a quicktime file and getting color to recognize it.

I am long time TV/Film editor with some good technical background. I am little stumped how to get FCP & Color 1.5 to do what I want.
What I have are a number of Quicktime files of already competed shows. Now I want to do shot to shot color correction. The manual solution which works is to simply go back and blade the entire timeline at each shot. This new sequence passes fine into Color 1.5. However since I have a number of these QT movies, I would much prefer to find an automated solution.
I have downloaded trial versions of Scene Detector and and Tokai. They both seem to do an adequate job of detecting shot to shot. With Scene Detector, I can can output an XML file and an EDL. Importing the XML back into FCP7, I get a 'new' master clip with the right video and a whole new series of Markers which are on the cuts. As for EDL's made from Scene Detector (there are 4 kinds) none can be imported in FCP7. More importantly, I can get neither the XML or EDL imported into color. I think I am creating a new color project each time but I am little uncertain. How can I tell if a Color Project is locked.
Using Tokai, I got something to import into Color 1.5 once, but now I can not repeat it. Using FCP, I can import a Tokai EDL, but its now just a a number of new clips in a timeline that won't link back up to the media (well I haven't figure that out).
Thanks
Doug

COLOR is designed to import QT's with CMX EDL's, but razoring the QT on an FCP timeline is how the roundtrip workflow gets established. It is not obviously advantageous, since it entails a bit of work -- but it allows you to make some choices that will make life in COLOR a little bit easier. Usually a CMX EDL will set up a series of "in-frame" events to define dissolves (since this is how it was done in the '80s when this approach was invented) -- but its not actually what you want to do in an NLE application. You will discover that grades cannot be pasted into keyframes, individual room corrections have to be pasted in, one at a time -- so its a tradeoff depending on how complex the finished video is.

  • In 10g can we dump control file and get SCN info.

    Hi,
    I have a question can any one help me on this.
    In 9.2.0.5 we could dump the control file and get the SCN using the command :
    alter session set events 'immediate trace name CONTROLF level 10';
    In 10.1.0.4.0 the output of the dump has changed and we do not get the SCN. or any of the following information :
    DATABASE ENTRY
    CHECKPOINT PROGRESS RECORDS
    EXTENDED DATABASE ENTRY
    REDO THREAD RECORDS
    LOG FILE RECORDS
    DATA FILE RECORDS
    RMAN CONFIGURATION RECORDS
    LOG FILE HISTORY RECORDS
    OFFLINE RANGE RECORDS
    ARCHIVED LOG RECORDS
    BACKUP SET RECORDS
    BACKUP PIECE RECORDS
    BACKUP DATAFILE RECORDS
    Can I get similar output in 10g as 9i ?
    with regards,
    Dilip.

    Hi.
    What are you trying to achieve here? If you just want the current SCN, you can get it using one of these:
    SQL> select current_scn from v$database;
    CURRENT_SCN
    8058824527
    1 row selected.
    SQL>or
    SQL> select dbms_flashback.get_system_change_number from dual;
    GET_SYSTEM_CHANGE_NUMBER
                  8079317404
    1 row selected.

  • Time machine: I get the following message: The backup disk image "/Volumes/Data-1/Clemens's iMac.sparsebundle" is already in use - what to do? Where and how do I find that file and get rid of it?

    time machine: I get the following message: The backup disk image “/Volumes/Data-1/Clemens’s iMac.sparsebundle” is already in use - what to do? Where and how do I find that file and get rid of it?

    I'm on Mountain Lion and have version 6.1 of AirPort utility so there is no button to "Disconnect All Users"and the only other option of "removing and re-selecting the drive via Time Machine Prefs" doesn't work either. So this will work.
    Launch Airport Utility and select the TC "Edit" button, then select the Disks tab. Deselect "Enable File Sharing" and click "Update". The TC will reboot then follow the same procedure and reselect "Enable File Sharing" and click "Update". After TC reboots again you'll be up and running. Not the neatest way to do it but saves having to unplug the TC which risks disk damage and the whole procedure takes less than a minute.The "Enable File Sharing" button seems to have replaced the "Disconnect All Users" button but with the slight disadvantage that it reboots the TC which takes up additional time.

  • Open an audio file and get sampled data

    Hello,
    there is a way to open an audio file and get an array with sampled data in Java?
    I need to perform an fft of my audio file.
    Best Regard
    Manuel

    Dear Mr Thompson,
    this is my first post on this topic.
    I have already tried various way to get samples from audio file, in particular I focused my attention on this:
    http://jvalentino2.tripod.com/dft/index.html
    I have implemented the code illustrated in the tutorial but the result is unsatisfactory. If I try to plot the samples of obtained from a pure tone the result is not the expected waveform but something very different, a Fourier analysis of this data is completely useless. Hence I am looking for a way to read data in a similar manner to the matlab's function auread (http://www.mathworks.com/access/helpdesk_r13/help/techdoc/ref/auread.html).
    Fft is not really hard to implement but I'm using a scientific library (http://www.ee.ucl.ac.uk/~mflanaga/java/) for obtain values in frequency space.
    I apologize for the inaccuracies.
    Regards

  • Parse JavaScript '.pac' file and get proxy details using C# code

    Hi,
    I have PAC  file --> (A proxy auto-config (PAC) file defines how web browsers and other user agents can automatically choose the appropriate proxy server (access method) for a given URL (inbound request)).
    This PAC file contains a JavaScript function “FindProxyForURL(url, host)”. This function returns a string with one or more access method specifications. These specifications cause the user agent to use a particular proxy server or to connect directly.
    Eg:
    function FindProxyForURL(url, host)
                    // declare variable strings
                    //incorrect proxy value
                    var use_proxy_yes = "PROXY MyWrongServerAddress:8080";
                    //correct proxy value
                    //var use_proxy_yes = "PROXY MyCorrectServerAddress:8080";
                    var use_proxy_no = "DIRECT";
                    //we can keep adding all the url here for which we do not want proxy
                    if (shExpMatch(url, "*.MyWebsite.com*")) { return use_proxy_no; }
                    // Proxy anything else
                    return use_proxy_yes;
    } This method will be saved as 'proxy.pac' file.
    From C# code i have to parse the above 'proxy.pac' file and get the proxy value that it returns based some condition specified in above method.
    Please someone help me know how i can achieve the above requirement. Thanks in advance.

  • Files downloaded turn into QuickTime files and not iTune Files!

    Hi folks,
    I am downloading some songs from mp3search.ru (very very cheap mp3 site) and they are downloaded as iTune files (which is what I require), however, when they download fully they become Quicktime files!
    I now have to change them individually to be opened with iTunes but they remain QT files!!
    How do I stop QuickTime from being the default and dictating itself as the main MP3 player?!
    Thanks
    Tc

    well, today I browsed iTunes, happened to find something I liked and thought I'd give it a go..
    After checking this bit:
    Import in An Instant
    To import songs into iTunes, just insert a CD into your computer and click Import CD. Or set up iTunes to automatically add music when you insert a CD. Either way, iTunes imports music in a snap. iTunes saves music from your CDs as high-quality AAC files — a format that builds upon state-of-the-art audio technology from Dolby Labs. But you can choose different audio formats, too. iTunes lets you convert music to MP3s at high bit-rate at no extra charge. Using AAC or MP3, you can store more than 100 songs in the same amount of space as a single CD. iTunes also supports the Apple Lossless format, which gives you CD-quality audio in about half the storage space.
    then registering an account I felt sort of confident, not in the lack of looking, the information is just hot air anyway rwitten by halfwits, but this was what it seemed..
    BUT LOW AND BEHOLD,
    None of this happened

  • HELP! Can not play quicktime files and no audio when it does!!!

    i tried opening a .mov file and the message said "you are missing a component that is necessary to open...blah, blah." then it gave me the link to the quicktime site for the 3rd party filters...but which one do i need? there were several and i have no idea. plus, the audio thing is making me mad.
    quicktime was pretty much didn't exist, so i popped in a itunes install disk and re-installed quicktime and that corrected my video problem. but now i'm having all this other stuff. and help will do. thank you.

    "quicktime was pretty much didn't exist, so i popped in a itunes install disk and re-installed quicktime"
    You lost me.
    I have never heard of an "iTunes" install disk. Where did you get this disk from?
    The latest version of QuickTime is v7.1.3. Is this the version you currently have?

  • Quicktime Pro and getting videos off the web

    I am bound and determined to get videos off the web and use them to make my own videos and what not. I was wondering if quicktime pro is the best program to use for my project. I have downloaded other programs that don't work and I am sick of the hassle. If there is a sure thing program anyone knows about, I'd love to know. Otherwise, it would be great to hear about quicktime pro and it's adeptness or otherwise at successfully getting videos off the web.

    Okay I figured out how to do that, but once it is downloaded, I am still having trouble. I don't know which application to use to open the file. Quicktime won't open it because it says it's not a movie file. I downloaded a standalone player and that couldn't open it either. What do I do?

  • Safari 5.0.5 Unable To Play QuickTime Files, and Less Sites Can Be Opened

    Not a day goes by, where I have to once or twice switch to Firefox to open quicktime files, or in some cases, open the site. I understand that each website has to be set-up in a certain way, but, it's, sort of ironic, not to be able to open a QT(Apple)file with Safari. This would happen every once an awhile, now it's a daily occurrence. These are always new pages(To me), not something visited before. Are fewer and fewer sites supporting Safari? Just curious.

    Thank you for your reply.
    From what I can determine after accessing this website that requires JRE 1.4.2_12, the registry has been updated by JRE 1.5.0_10. All the clsids for all JREs have been updated to point to c:\Program Files\Java\jre1.5.0_10\ssv.dll.
    Example:
    CAFEEFAC-*0014-0002-0012*-ABCDEFFEDCBA\InprocServer32 points to c:\Program Files\Java\jre*1.5.0_10*\bin\ssv.dll.
    I've seen a few postings where setting the EnableSecureStaticVersioning stops JRE 1.5.0_10 from dynamic versioning but I am unable to get that to work. One posting said to set it in HKCU and HKLM but that does not work either.

  • I am a virtual tour provider. My toursare quicktime files and until I upgraded to Firefox 8.0.1 today I could navigate the tour smoothy around the room with the cursor. Now it is very choppy. Do you know why??

    Here is a sample.
    http://spinvirtualtours.com/tours/new_vtour/1045_skyland_dr

    So I'm basically just a simple photographer. But from what I understand my Quicktime tours will no longer run smoothly as they have on all browsers for the last four years with these new updates? Unless I change to a new file format which is yet to be decided? The tours run fine as individual quicktime files so it is not quicktime. They just start to operate badly once loaded into the web template/skin and viewed on these updated browsers. Take a look at an example on the new firefox browser and than check it out on an older version or safari all is good.
    http://spinvirtualtours.com/tours/new_vtour/1045_skyland_dr
    If you check the drop down in the lower right corner of the tour template and choose "save as quicktime movie" and then just click the movie it runs smoothly from the desktop.
    It is already a big enough job to get people to be able to view these so the idea of having to give people more instructions to go in and change setting is Quicktime isn't realistic and I couldn't even figure it out. (Not surprising because I am not a programmer.) One of my competitors uses Flash which I thought would die out while Quicktime and Html5 would become the norm. At least the flash tours are reliable on these updated browsers. I'm confused and frustrated since delivering these tours is half the revenue of a very good business and all of a sudden they work terribly.

  • When playing QuickTime file, I get sound but no picture

    Someone provided me with some Quicktime files. Regardless of what program I use to play them, (iMovie 6, QuickTime Player, MPEG Streamclip) I get the sound but there is no picture. I'm thinking that maybe there is a codec that I don't have. I really need to get these files to work with iMovie 6. Any suggestions?

    Thanks for the suggestion, Kirk. They sent me a sample 10-second file in H.264 and it works. I think the picture quality is diminished--not too bad, though. Which codec would have the best quality and still work in iMovie6? Keep in mind I will be editing the video and then exporting it to iDVD. Thanks.

  • HT204382 Help!  I just followed all instructions . . . downloaded DivX on my MacBook Pro so that I can view all of the avi movies but it still won't let me see them.  When I bring down the file and get info I can view it in the little box that only that.

    Okay so . . . just bought a new Mac OS X because my last MacBook Pro burned up.  I was luckily able to put everything on an external hard drive.  But when I try to play my movies from the hard drive or any other DVD that were downloads that are AVI  it says "QuickTime Player can't open "Genetic Roulette_(360p).avi" because a required codec isn't available."  So I went ahead and followed the instructions and download the DivX but it still will not play.  Can anyone out there help me?

    Download and install VLC. http://www.videolan.org/vlc/index.html and get rid of DivX.
