Output file is different than timeline

Hello everyone,
This is my first post here, hope you can help me out with an issue I'm having on Premiere Elements 8.
What happens is the following:
I'm creating a video with a mix of movie files and still images. The format is a 16:9 Widescreen. As some files do not fit the size, I have unchecked Scale to Frame Size, and I have streched them out a bit. It doesn't look 100%, but it works fine for what I need. So, I have filled the whole black space in the timeline there with the videos and still images. I have added some pan and zooms in the still images, so it doesn't look so boring.
Now, when I export the video, I'm doing these settings: WMV format HD 720p 30 fps 1.0 Square Pixels.
Most of the video (98% I would say) exports perfectly. There are only 3 still images which aren't positioned as they were supposed to be. They are all too much to the right side of the screen, therefore showing the black edge on the left and cutting the right side of the image off-screen. All other still images and video files are positioned exactly as I see creating the video. I have done some tests, like 1.21 Pixels, but then it messed up the whole thing, all out of place.
One problem is that it takes me about 1 hour to export in this WMV format HD 720p 30 fps, so for testing stuff it takes hours.
Anyway... any clue of what could be wrong for those images to be wrong in the output file?
I could also try another format, but this is the only one I could find which the quality was fairly good in the output file (size about 170mb). It's for a YouTube video, so I'm looking for a decent quality for a video there, about 5 minutes long, HQ.
Well, I say beforehand than I'm a noob with video editing in general and Premiere Elements specifically. So, a little help would be extremelly important.
Thanks a lot for reading my challenge here.
Fernando

Great, it worked fine now. No more weird behavior with the still images. I resized them in Photoshop Elements, and imported again into Premiere Elements. All beautiful and file size is smaller in the end.
NOW... may I use this same thread for another novice question?
When I'm starting a project, I'm choosing the following configuration:
NTSC DV Widescreen
Would I get a better result if using NTSC HDV 720p 30?
Because at the end, I'm exporting my movie as Windows Media (.WMV) HD 720p 30.
Thanks!

The way Aperture renders my Nikon RAW (NEF) files look different than...

The was Aperture renders my NEF files looks different than NX...
Ok so I use all the in camera setting/tools to the best of abilities to try and cut my editing down as much as possible but when shooting RAW I end up having to tweak every images to get them back to what they really look like... I shoot often RAW and JPG combined and when I open a NEF in NX and a JPG in PS they are identical and need very little work, when I use Aperture the NEF files are very different looking from the JPG (or NEF in NX) and every single one needs tweaking (I get more redish/pinkish skin, often a hint of green cast to (slightly off WB/tone thing) and more contrast.
Below is screenshot showing the difference between a JPG (or NEF in NX) and a RAW file in Aperture
[img]http://www.pbase.com/ray645/image/120052970/original.jpg[/img]
This is just a silly snap shot in very flat overcast light, and has the least amount of shift or difference of any image type so far, when I use strobes, shoot for a more contrasty image, gel for color and manual WB the differences are huge almost to the point that you would think you where looking at two completely different images and not the same NEF opened in different software.
How do I go about getting Aperture to render my NEF's more like what I shot like NEF in NX, JPG in anything, and even the back of the camera screen?

Thank you, that seems like will work, just having the boost turned down a bit on import has helped tremendously but I cant stop feeling like I am moving towards the "Fix it in post" mentality
I will need to get better at tweaking my images... No matter how I try I cant kill the pinking skin or the very faint green glow in blond hair or bright neutral tones without affecting other areas of the image.. I am sure I will figure it out but anyone having any tips or links that could speed up my process I would appreciate it.
The green is weird its like someone snuck a small florescent light into all my shoots without telling me, not major but enough to be annoying.
I shoot a ton of motor sports (3000 images a weekend) and shoot JPG and have gotten good at using in camera pre sets, knowing what I got and getting it right in the camera, I wish Nikon would give up the code or whatever is needed for all the info to be carried over to Aperture..... I would pay the $100 or whatever to use the NX engine in Aperture

Background Job spool / output file in different app server

We are working with 2 ECC app servers, A and B.
I've defined in app server A a background job to run an abap report and this report creates and submit 4 other background jobs.
Each of these 4 jobs is regarding an abap report which outputs a text file in the server.
The question is, why are the jobs generating the files in different app servers randomically?
The same file, in the 1st execution was generated in app server A, and without any change was generated in app server B, in the job 2nd execution?
Thank you!

Hi,
You can specify server name whille creating a batch job , so that it gets executed to that server only.
there is one field (in SM36 during creation or SM37 while modifying batch job) called "Exec Target " , where you can specify server name.
Hence you can plan to run your some batch jobs on server A or B.

Rupali

Software Update File Size Different than Apple Downloads File Size

Background:
I am running software update and it retrieves the update for "MacBook, MacBook Pro Software update 1.1" File size is listed as 768K. When I go to the Apple Downloads page for this update, the file size is 979K.
Download ID is 16618 and URl is http://www.apple.com/downloads/macosx/apple/macosx_updates/macbookmacbookprosoft wareupdate11.html
Question:
Is this discrepancy normal based on the way that Software Update calculates file size or should I be concerned? There is no hash to confirm integrity of the file.

File size, and the volume of space it takes up are 2 different things. Space will very from computer to computer. Chances are, the larger the drive the more space it takes up. Reason? The file system (HSF + on macs with Leopard). The file sytem divides the drive into specific number of sections. That number may be 10 M, say. So, even if you have a thumbnail that is 4 kb, it will still require the minimum size of the file system. Make sense? There is a lot of wasted space on very large drives.
Note: Leopard is set up to use a new file system that apple may soon adopt. It will not use the division method HFS + uses, and so will save a lot of space, if adopted.

CS2 Help Files Problem - Different than those Previously listed

I installed PSCS2 and the installation appeared to go OK and for the most part the program runs as I would expect.
The issue I have is with the help files. When I try to access the help files the Adobe Help Center opens but the only help available is for PS Elements 4. I did NOT remove PSE4 prior to installing PSCS2 and it is still on my machine.
This is a Dell Dimension XPS, running Win XP Pro, 2.8 G Pentium 4 processor, 1G DDR RAM.
Thanks in advance,
Ken Kovak

Thanks to everyone that posted suggestions on how to fix this. I think that deleting the folders/files can't hurt, but I'm not sure it's really necessary.
The problem for many of us is that the CS2 help package is simply gone. I tried everything suggested in all the other threads - including completely removing and reinstalling several applications - and nothing worked until I simply downloaded the help package from Adobe, placed it in the packages folder, and ran help.
AHC.exe is obviously smart enough to check that folder before opening so if it finds a new package it will apparently rebuild the database and "install" it.
The worst thing in my mind is that Adobe hasn't addressed this problem even though it's a known issue and should have been fixed in the 9.01 update release. How lame is that? It's extremely lame to answer my own question Yes, I'm "teaked" that I've wasted so much time on something Adobe should have fixed but is too lazy to address. Kind of like the Bridge problem...... I grow more disenchanted with Adobe all the time...
Anyone that installed Elements 4.0 (for it's superior management and viewing capabilities) may face this problem.
Again, thanks to all the helpful users and an extremely rotten tomato to Adobe.....

File structure different than iMac?

My AppleTV displays photos from my iMac but not the same "name", file sequence that they are set up in the iMac. I'm a real noob in the Apple world so please go easy!

Any help with this?

Output jpeg looks different than edited RAW image

I just got CS6 and have been working on some new images in RAW. Once I finished the editing I wanted to do in RAW, I saved the image as a jpeg, then clicked "open image" at the bottom of the RAW window. The image that came up in Photoshop looked nothing like my edited RAW image. It's as if none of the edits ever occurred. I've looked on the internet and tried figuring it out on my own. I'm at a loss and would appreciate the help.

Noel - first of all, thanks much for taking the time to respond to my question. You helped me realize (and I should have realized this last night) that my question and problem statement lacked a lot of detail. I'm new to Photoshop, but I've learned a good lesson. Here's some more details: I use a Nikon D700, WIndows XP OS, and CS6. After taking the images from my memory card directly into Bridge, I can see that the images look "good", meaning they match what I was seeing on my camera display. The metadata for my photo of interest states that the color profile is RGB, and I assume this is sRGB? I open the .nef file directly into CS6 RAW. Once again the image in RAW looks just like it did in Bridge and on my camera display. I like how it looks in general, but I make the manipulations I want in RAW (removing blemishes, softening skin, etc). Prior to saving the manipulated image, I click on the Workflow Options link below the image and choose 8-bit, sRGB, then save it as a .jpeg. Photoshop's color space has also previously been set to sRGB, so the two match. If I open the image from RAW directly into Photoshop or open the newly created .jpeg from Bridge into Photoshop, the image no longer looks like what I saw in RAW. The image looks sort of hazy, the black background that was completely black in the RAW image is now visible in the Photoshop image, and the model's skin, which looked nice and smooth in RAW, now looks pixelated.
You suggestions about color management make sense, and I bet I'm still making some sort of mistake in that regard. Any ideas?

Ftp images have file names different than camera

Using FTPonTheGoPRO pictures are uploaded with image file names that are not in the order the pics were taken - is there a way to re-name the images before they get uploaded?

One more thing....Its not so much that ShutterSnitch is buggy but that it wasn't developed for what I'm trying to do.

Creating an output file using 'GUI_DOWNLOAD' function

Hi SapAll.
when i try to create an out put text file using the FM 'GUI_DOWNLOAD' by wiring the follwoing below source code
CONCATENATE 'ASORT' c_tab 'ASORTYP' c_tab
                'VKORG' c_tab 'DATAB' c_tab
                'DATBI' INTO outtab-txt.
iam not able to create the text file with more than 16 fields.i have tried to create an out put file with 24 fields but i can only see 16 fields in it.so could any body help me in finding out how i can create an Output file with more than 16 fields in the file.
your help will be appreciated.
regards.
Varma

check your output definition....are you doing something like below? SAP will transfer 1024 bytes per line with GUI_DOWNLOAD.    After you download, how do you view the data? Be sure you're looking at the data with something that will show all 1024 bytes, and not jsut 256 or 512.
types: begin of outline,
           txt(1024),
         end of outline.
data: outtab type table of outline,
         ls_out type outline.

1 input file to 2 output file mapping. Please help!

Hi Experts,
I have a snenario where from one input file I have to generate two output files. My sender and receiver systems are the same since I want to generate the output files in the same location. I am using both the systems same just for testing purpose.
So in IR I have created
1. one outbound interface for the input file
2. two inbound interfaces for the output files
3. one message mapping containing one input message
      transformation to two output messages.
4. one interface mapping containing one input interface
      transformation to two output interfaces.
In ID I have created
    1. one file sender channel and two receiver channels for two output files with different names.
    2. two receiver agreements
    3. one sender agreement
    4. one interface determination of type "Enhanced".
    5. one receiver determination
But when I run the scenario given one valid input file I am getting the error in the sxmb_moni : RuntimeException in Message-Mapping transformation: Cannot produce target element.
However message mapping and interface mapping works perfectly if I test it in IR with the same input file.
Can somebody help me understand what I might be doing wrong?
Have I done the configuration correctly for 1:N mapping?
Please help! I will be greatfull to you if you can help me.
Thanks
Gopal

If my input file is like this:
   <ns1:LocationMsg_MT xmlns:ns1="http://www.abc.com/Gopal">
         <Location>
         </Location>
</ns1:LocationMsg_MT >
Then my scenario is working.
But my input file will be like this:
<LocationMsg_MT>
         <Location>
         </Location>
<LocationMsg_MT >
This is giving problem.
How to handle this kind of file?
Thanks
Gopal

Read lines from more than 1 file of different file extensions, extract the data and output to screen

Hi,
I am trying to read data from more than one file at once. The files are different types e.g. one is a text file one is an xml file like so, StudentInformation.txt, CollegeInformation.xml. The files are all stored in one place, in this case on the D drive of
a local computer. I am trying to locate any files in the D drive with a file extension of .txt or of .xml (there may be more than two of these files in the future, so I'm trying to allow for that). Then I want to open all of these files, extract the information
and output all the information in one display window. I want all the information from these two or more files to be displayed together in the display window.
Here is the code so far. It is throwing up errors.
//Load from txt or xml files
private void btnLoad_Click(object sender, RoutedEventArgs e)
IEnumerable<string> fileContents = Directory.EnumerateFiles("D:\\", "*.*", SearchOption.TopDirectoryOnly)
.Select(x => new FileInfo(x))
.Where(x => x.Extension == ".xml" || x.Extension == ".txt")
.Select(file => ParseFile(file));}
private string ParseFile(FileInfo file)
try
using (StreamReader sr = new StreamReader(file.FullName))
string line;
while ((line = sr.ReadLine()) != null)
//Logic here to determine if this is the correct file and append accordingly
lbDisplay.Items.Add(line);
return line;
catch (Exception ex)
// Let the user know what went wrong
MessageBox.Show("The file could not be read: ");
MessageBox.Show(ex.Message);
The error it throws up is:
Error 1
'BookList.MainWindow.ParseFile(System.IO.FileInfo)': not all code paths return a value

This is the Small Basic programming language so moving to a C# forum.
But you need all paths to return a value, including if an exception is called and it jumps to the catch, perhaps just:
// Let the user know what went wrong
MessageBox.Show("The file could not be read: ");
MessageBox.Show(ex.Message);
return "";

How to load and unload more than one external swf files in different frames?

I do not have much experience on Adobe Flash or Action Script 3, but I know the basics.
I am Arabic language teacher, and I design an application to teach Arabic, I just would like to learn how to load and unload more than one external swf files in different frames.
Thanks

Look into using the Loader class to load the swf files. If you want to have it happen in different frames then you can put the code into the different frames.

In RoboHelp 11 Responsive HTML5, is it possible to have 2 different language outputs in one generated output file?

In RoboHelp 11 Responsive HTML5, is it possible to have 2 different language outputs in one generated output file, similar to WebHelp where the use can select the language from a drop-down list? In Webhelp output you could create multiple Content categories. Is there something similar with the responsive output, or am I forced to have a completely separate set of output files for each language (for example, English, Japanese, Chinese, Korean, and Arabic)?

As Rick, mentions, there's no default way.
Having said that, there's nothing stopping you from doing it yourself. You can add a kind of language selector to the layout and set that for every html5 output. With some JavaScript, you can have the user switch between your outputs. It would look like content categories, but you'll have build it yourself.

RFC to XI File - can NEVER EVER get more than one record in Output file.

Hi guys
This might be related to my other post on File conversion but whatever I do I just can't seem to get more than one record in the output file
the payload from R3==> XI seems fine
for example
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8" ?>
- <rfc:Z_XI_005_RFC xmlns:rfc="urn:sap-com:document:sap:rfc:functions">
- <IP_CUSTOMER_HEADER>
- <item>
<CUSTOMERID>1000001</CUSTOMERID>
<COMPANY>One-time ship-to</COMPANY>
<SHORT_NAME>ONE-TIME</SHORT_NAME>
<STREET />
<STREET2 />
<STREET3 />
<STREET4 />
...... more data
</item>
then next customer master data and so on
- <item>
<CUSTOMERID>1000005</CUSTOMERID>
<COMPANY>ddfask</COMPANY>
<SHORT_NAME>;LK;L</SHORT_NAME>
<STREET />
<STREET2 />
<STREET3 />
<STREET4/>
etc etc until
<HKUNNR>60000</HKUNNR>
<SALES_REGION />
</item>
</IP_CUSTOMER_HEADER>
</rfc:Z_XI_005_RFC>
All I get on the Output target file
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8" ?>
- <ns1:MT_customer_header xmlns:ns1="http://avenue.com/xi/test">
<CustomerId>1000001</CustomerId>
<company>One-time ship-to</company>
<shortname>ONE-TIME</shortname>
.... more data
</ns1:MT_customer_header>
the <item> and subsequent records all seem to have vanished.
I must be doing something PARTICULARLY stupid as nobody else ever seems to have this problem -- I've tried almost every possible combination but still to no avail
The function module is passing a table to XI in the correct structure and the payload seems to be fine so what on earth is broken here !!!,.
Cheers
Jimbo

Thanks everybody -- it's working now
RFC call was passing data correctly
function z_xi_005_rfc.
""Local interface:
*" TABLES
*" IP_CUSTOMER_HEADER STRUCTURE ZAP_CUSTOMER_INFO_2
endfunction.
in debug mode table data was fine -- in this instance 3 records were being passed.
3 errors in mapping etc fixed (with help from SDN - thanks)
1) missing the ITEM level in the Data type (hence mapping)
2) needed 0:unbounded in the occurrence
3) also mapping Item====>Item was missing (sub fields were ok)
Points awarded
final file output ok output now ok (with 3 fields only for testing)
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8" ?>
- <ns1:MT_customer_header xmlns:ns1="http://avenue.com/xi/test">
- <item>
<Customerid>1000001</Customerid>
<company>One-time ship-to</company>
<shortname>ONE-TIME</shortname>
</item>
- <item>
<Customerid>1000005</Customerid>
<company>ddfask</company>
<shortname>;LK;L</shortname>
</item>
- <item>
<Customerid>1000010</Customerid>
<company>One Time Customer Test</company>
<shortname>SADFIWQEFG</shortname>
</item>
</ns1:MT_customer_header>
Now only the final problem to make file content conversion work.
Once again thanks --sometimes what seem trivial or simple problems take AGES to fix until someone else gives you a clue --that's why boards like SDN are great value.
Cheers
Jimbo
