PE 10 Scene seperation ?

When I capture video in PE 10 there is no scene seperation even though there are say 10-12 stop and starts on a 10 minute video with totaly different scenes. How do I get it to do it?

Hey JM, I appreciate your extra input. I have a few thoughts to add, plus a couple extra questions for you.
My subject was a band performing multiple takes on stage, from the same camera position, so Scene Detection was not able to find the cuts. Next time I will put a card in front of the lens at the start of each take (or, heck why not a clapboard/ slate, which would also help immensely with synching tracks and my identification of takes... Wow... is this a new idea? LOL!)
When you say, "I separate the scenes during capture manually, when using PREL" are you saying that you stop capture after each take, and then go back into capture for the next take? That sounds promising. Also, it would be a great way to get familiarized with the footage. I think the DV age has pushed many of us farther and farther away from maintaining shooting logs, logging in footage on paper (or in a .doc)--not to mention using a clapboard/ slate!
You said: "It's not an issue to capture with iMovie, then import with PREL", but I was wondering if there is a quality difference between iMovie's .mov files and PREL's .mpeg files? I am working with footage from my HV20 and my Canon 5Dmii.
Due to the subject matter and and having a second track to synch to, I will definitely be editing this project in PREL. I just find it very hard to navigate the clips. I might do a rough cut in iMovie and use those notes to do a final cut in PE10.
Do you do this kind of work, that is, live music performance video? If so, I sure could use a tutorial on workflow and editing techniques. The online tutorials have so far been very rudimentary. If you know of any good existing sources for this, please provide links... when you have time!
Much appreciated,
Jerry

Seperate scenes into different files

Dear all,
I am a newcomer in video and therfore I am missing the right words to search inside the forum.
I am struggling the following problem:
All my videos are on DV-cassettes I now want to "copy" to my computer.
I do NOT want to have one huge 10GByte-file from every cassette. But I want to have all the scenes seperated into different files.
Is there a chance to have this done by PE10, hopefully mostly automatically.
Thanks for your support.
Michael
If it shall be of importance:
The Software is installed on a Win XP SP3 systhem, supporting Firewire.

Michael _in_Hamm wrote:
Exsate DV capturing Live was a bit better the PRE using timecode, but it was also not perfect.
After roughly 14 minutes it stopped capturing asking to register.
That shouldn't happen. The software is completely free to use for capturing unlimited lengths. They do sell a commercial product "Exsate Video Express" so perhaps you downloaded the wrong product.

How do you save or export an edited clip or sequence to use in another project without losing qualit

Does anyone else like to edit each scene seperately. Render and save, then compile a completed movie of the scenes? What format in elements?

You can edit one scene at a time within a single project - setting the WorkAreaBar to cover an individual scene will limit preview rendering to that scene. Once satisfied with a particular scene you can Share it to a separate file if you want to reuse them in other projects - use the WorkAreaBar to cover the range you wish to export. Use the DV-AVI format to maintain quality. Or if you don't mind adding additional codecs add the Lagarith Lossless Video Codec. Bill Hunt has written a Tips & Tricks article on using this.
This FAQ entry will also be helpful: How can I use footage from one project in another?

Help merging 3d files into one 3d-pdf-scene

Is it possible with the LCS to merge 3d-files into a single 3d-pdf-scene just like it is in the Adobe 3D Reviewer? I don't have a "Master"-file that defines an assembly like a catia *.CATProduct file so I can't refer supporting documents in the Generator3D. I also tried the assembler-service but with that I was only able to create a PDF that holds all the single 3d-data on different pages and therefore in seperated 3d-scenes.
thanks

Hi Timo,
If you are still interested in this functionality to merge 3D files in batch, please contact me at [email protected] to discuss further.
Thanks.

How do you make a scene selection?

i recently made about 18 movies on imove with a total length of 9 hours and 43 minutes so they are all exported seperately.
i want to be able to put them on idvd with a scene selection but i want to know if there is a way to put a "play all" button.
Another question - what would the best way to distribute the movie (like is there a way to fit this much movie on a dvd)
Any help is apprectiated!

Hi
A. iDVD limit is about 240 minutes on DL-DVDs and that is Movie + MENU (and this can take significant space/minutes)
iDVD 08, 09 & 11 has three levels of qualities. (version 7.0.1, 7,0.4 & 7.1.1)
iDVD 6 has the two last ones
• Professional Quality
(movies + menus up to 120 min.) - BEST (but not always for short movies e.g. up to 45 minutes in total)
• Best Performances
(movies + menus less than 60 min.) - High quality on final DVD (Can be best for short movies)
• High Quality (in iDVD08 or 09) / Best Quality (in iDVD6)
(movies + menus up to 120 min.) - slightly lower quality than above
About double on DL DVDs.
B. Scene selections - is as I get it Chapters and they are preferably set in the movie editor e.g. iMovie or FinalCut. iDVD will create Scene Selection sub-menu automatically.
C. Play all button - No there are non in iDVD - but can be faked in two ways.
• Double movie way - all parts + one full movie containing all
Pro - easy to do and easy to understand
Cons - takes up x2 space
• Put movies into a SlideShow and un-cheque limit picture size
Pro - x1 space
Cons - To me the Audio was severely degraded
D. Total space
• iDVD - 240 minutes (iDVD do not care about Gbs at all only duration)
• Roxio Toast™ - Can squees in 10 hours on a SL-DVD and about x2 on DL-DVD (I guess)
CONS - The Quality will be severely degraded making old VHS tapes recorded in LP-mode look fabulous when compared - Yes 10 hours will look awful.

Splitting comma seperated column data into multiple rows

Hi Gurus,
Please help me for solving below scenario. I have multiple value in single column with comma seperated values and my requirement is load that data into multiple rows.
Below is the example:
Source Data:
Product         Size                                 Stock
ABC              X,XL,XXL,M,L,S                 1,2,3,4,5,6
Target Data:
Product         Size                                 Stock
ABC              X                                     1
ABC              XL                                   2
ABC              XXL                                 3
ABC              M                                    4

ABC             S                                        6
Which transformation we need to use for getting this output?
Thanks in advance !

Hello,
Do you need to do this tranformation through OWB mapping only? And can you please tell what type of source you are using? Is it a flat file or a table?
Thanks

IMovie capture from DV tape without auto scene break

Has anyone figured out to prevent iMovie from automatically inserting scene breaks in iMovie'11.
I am importing previously edited footage for conversion. This still contains the timestamps.
After importing, iMovie automatically places each clip by time/date order in Events - which means it is jumbled up because it has previously been edited.
Basically what I want is either 1) to import as a single clip, i.e. disable auto scene break, or 2) to be able to sort clips into same time/date order that they were imported.
Cheers

iMovie will assume that anything imported in DV Stream is coming directly off a camcorder, and therefore will be sorted in chronological order.
If you still have access to the software where you created these movies, you can share them out in something other than DV Stream.
For example, if you have iMovie 06, you can import it without auto scene breaks. Then Export Using QuickTime to an mov container in the DV codec. That will produce an mov file that iMOvie 11 will import in the correct order.

No cell seperator shown after adding rows to table

Hi All,
I'm trying to add rows for the user to click on to 'add new' similar to the contacts application. It works, but when the new row displays it has no separator. My code is inside the setEditing overridden method as shown...
- (void)setEditing:(BOOL)editing animated:(BOOL)animated {
// call super first
[super setEditing:editing animated:animated];
// add/remove placeholder items
[self.tableView beginUpdates];
NSMutableArray *indexPaths = [[NSMutableArray alloc] init];
for (int g=0; g < editGroups.count; g++)
if ([[editGroups objectAtIndex:g] isArray])
// get the count of objects for this group
SEL propertySelector = NSSelectorFromString([[[[editGroups objectAtIndex:g] editFields] objectAtIndex:0] fieldName]);
[indexPaths addObject:[NSIndexPath indexPathForRow:[[editObject performSelector:propertySelector] count] inSection:g]];
if (editing)
// Show the placeholder rows
[self.tableView insertRowsAtIndexPaths:indexPaths withRowAnimation:UITableViewRowAnimationFade];
else
// Hide the placeholder rows.
[self.tableView deleteRowsAtIndexPaths:indexPaths withRowAnimation:UITableViewRowAnimationTop];
// send object did update message to delegate
[delegate didUpdateObject];
[self.tableView endUpdates];
Thanks
Ray

I just found the problem, and for anyone else out there with the same issue. I had to remove the [super setEditing:editing animated:animated] at the beginning of my method. My super is UITableViewController, and for some reason calling the super on this method causes the seperator lines to vanish.
Thanks All

Display contents of a loop in SCENE

Hi all,
Can i display the contents of a for loop one after another in a "Scene".
The code below displays the contents of "for" loop in OUTPUT window as well as in the "SCENE". But the problem is that the contents of "for" loop are displayed in the scene graph only after the for loop exits.
how can i rectify this code to generate the output similar to the OUTPUT window in SCENE graph.?
import javafx.scene.Scene;
import javafx.stage.Stage;
import javafx.scene.text.Text;
import ranno.*;
import javafx.scene.control.Button;
import javafx.scene.Group;
import generateResult.*;
var number: Integer[];
var msg : String ;
var a : String[];
var locX: Integer;
var locY: Integer;
def canvas = Group { };
var display : Button =Button {
translateX: 100
translateY: 100
width : 100
height : 30
text : "Click"
var text : Text
action:function(){
delete canvas.content;
for(i in [0..1])
java.lang.Thread.sleep(1000);
number=i;
println(number[i]);
a=Integer.toString(number[i]);
locX=20;
locY=20;
msg = "{a}";
text = Text{
x: locX
y: locY+20*i
content : msg
insert text into canvas.content;
Stage
title: "Numbers"
var array : String[];
var i : Integer;
scene : Scene
width: 400
height: 200
content :
[display,canvas]
If you haven't understood my question,please execute this code and compare the output in the OUTPUT window with the SCENE output.
I want the output in SCENE to be similar to the output in OUTPUT window.
Please help me in modifying my code .

Since you haven't used the CODE button, the source code is messed up (star means bold here).
But the short answer is: don't use a loop with sleep()!
JavaFX provides Timelines and Transitions to animate things and add stuff progressively to the scenegraph.

Some questions about how to change scenes

i have something like the following:
fxml (view/main/MainMenu.fxml):
<Scene fx:controller="view.main.CtrlMainMenu" xmlns:fx="http://javafx.com/fxml" stylesheets="view/main/main.css">
    <GridPane xmlns:fx="http://javafx.com/fxml" alignment="center" id="backgorund" hgap="10" vgap="10">
        
        <VBox spacing="8" GridPane.columnIndex="0" GridPane.rowIndex="1">
            <Button text="Start" onAction="#Start"/>
            <Button text="Options" onAction="#Options"/>
            <Button text="Exit" onAction="#Exit"/>
        </VBox>
    </GridPane>
</Scene>main loop (cotroller/main.java):
public class main extends Application{
    public static void main(String[] args){
        launch(main.class, args);
    public void start(Stage stage) throws Exception{
        stage.setTitle(CtrlLanguage.get(CtrlLanguage.TITLE));
        CtrlMainMenu main = new CtrlMainMenu();
        Scene scene = main.main();          //don't know how to make Scene scene = (Scene)FXMLLoader.load(getClass().getResource("MainMenu.fxml")); work on here since MainMenu.fxml is in view/main while the main class is in controller and ended up putting CtrlMainMenu in the view although is not very correct
        stage.setScene(scene);
        stage.setWidth(1080);
        stage.setHeight(720);
        stage.show();
}view controller (view/main/CtrlMainMenu.java):
public class CtrlMainMenu{
    //other buttons actions
    public Scene main() throws Exception{
        return (Scene)FXMLLoader.load(getClass().getResource("MainMenu.fxml"));
    @FXML protected void Start(ActionEvent event){
    @FXML protected void Options(ActionEvent event){
    @FXML protected void Exit(ActionEvent event){
        System.exit(0);          //is there any other way to finish the program than using a system.exit?
}got few questions currently:
1. i'd like to be able to keep using CtrlMainMenu for other buttons while the ones that appear there go to the main (since will be reusing those classes from other scenes)
tried adding fx:controller on panes instead of the scene, but it doesnt work at all (it crashes) else directly in CtrlMainMenu change the scenes of the stage, but then, i have to send the stage to every controller i use? (or how do i know the stage of the scene?)
and in the case of options, i'd like after done, go back to the previous scene, is that possible? if so, how?
2.if i want to implement languages, how do i do to change the text? tried with setText() but depending on where do i put it, it crashes, so dont know where do i have to put it
3.im doing a game that may have different number of players, so, is there some way to erase/hide/add data from a gridpane with fxml?

1. ok, found the way to change scenes, with this way:
@FXML protected void Start(ActionEvent event) throws Exception{
     Node node = (Node)event.getSource();
     Stage stage = (Stage)node.getScene().getWindow();
     Scene scene = (Scene)FXMLLoader.load(getClass().getResource("../view/main/MainMenu.fxml"));     //this is just an example, will change to go to another scene
     stage.setScene(scene);
     stage.show();
}but now i have another problem, when i click on the button the stage scene is changed, but the scene is transformed to a very small one at the top left (the size seems the same as when i dont put the set width/height on the stage when creating it), the stage size remains the same, and when i resize the window, it gets "repaired"
the options, i thought on using a pane over the current pane so this way instead of going back would be just removing that new pane, would that work well?
2. found about languages that is by using <Label text="%myText"/> and java.util.ResourceBundle but don't know how to use it, can someone provide me an example, please?
3. still haven't looked on it...

Wrong payslip in case of seperation

Dear all ,
While running payroll for seperated employees the system is displaying wron information in payslip , like the amounts , tax etc. is coming right but the no. of paid days is wrong.
What could be the possible error.
Regards,
neha

Hi Friends,
I am also facing the same problem, In my scenario,
Iif the employee is a regular, it show the full days in salary slip(ie.30/31), but when employee seprated from the orgnisation on suppose 15th of that month it is showing 13 days in salary slip. why this difference is coming.( salary is calculating correct).
Can you please give the solution.

Problem with persistence across scenes

I have a student who has created some code- see below. At the moment this code is in Scene 5 - but the blocks also appear on other scenes.
How does he limit this code to just one scene?
Can he replicate this to be used on other scenes, but starting out fresh.
Currently, 50 blocks spawn on top of one another. These are used for teaching addition or multiplication. When they've been dragged out into a pattern, we don't want that pattern on another scene, we want them on on top of the other.
The code is not overly elegant, but it does work - except for being repeated across scenes.
block = []
//this function creates a block at a certain location and adds it to an array
//new identifiers are block30 and so on
function spawnBlock(){
blockSpawn = attachMovie("block","block"+_root.getNextHighestDepth(),_root.getNextHighestDepth(),{_x:5 50,_y:300});
block.push(blockSpawn._name);
//this runs the spawnBlock funtion 50 times creating 50 new blocks
//change 50 to the number of blocks desired
for(i=0;i<50;i++){
spawnBlock();
//trace(block[i]); //testing if the funtion was working
function dragSetup(clip){ //this is used to assign a movie clip to funtion that can be reused with each block that is created
clip.onPress = function(){
startDrag(this);
clip.onRelease = clip.onReleaseOutside=function(){ //same as above
stopDrag();
//this lets each block that is needed to be dragged
//add in more lines to let more blocks get dragged
dragSetup(block0);
dragSetup(block1);
dragSetup(block2);
dragSetup(block3);
dragSetup(block4);
dragSetup(block5);
dragSetup(block6);
dragSetup(block7);
dragSetup(block8);
dragSetup(block9);
remainder removed for brevity.

use:
function clear_blockF():Void{
for(var i:Number=block.length-1;i>=0;i--){
this[block[i]].removeMovieClip();
block.length=0;

AS2 open another scene and play a label inside a mc

I'm looking for a piece of AS2 script that will open a different scene and play a label from inside a mc.
So it should be something like...
On release go to scene x and play x label from inside x mc.
I can get to the scene via the button "on release gotoandplay scene 2 .
Once in the scene I can get a button to gotoandplay themc.mc and the label.
But what I really want to do is get the button on one page to go to the scene and play the label on the second scene.
Any ideas?

use:
gotoAndPlay("scene2_frame1");
this.onEnterFrame=someF;
function someF(){
yourmovieclip.gotoAndPlay("some label");
delete this.onEnterFrame;
