Plumbing question for Ben (chart Q actually)

Ben I am perhaps in need another "jiggle the handle" solution. I tried writing to a few different property nodes for a WFChart that is "acting a-fool" with no results. Each update mode seems to have its own problems. Specifically, in sweep mode (or is it scope? I forgot immediately after the CLAD) there sometimes appears a second refresh cursor when the x-axis scale is changed, sections of vertical-horizontal lines on the chart come and go as the cursor passes or the front panel is scrolled, the waveform itself clears when the cursor reached the end of the plot area and acts like scope and then returns to sweep sometime later or the waveform itself is thick (as it is set to be) but then is very thin is some sections. In scroll mode when DAQ begins a few samples of data show up on the far end of the plot before beginning normal left-to-write plotting.
I have found some previous posts about video cards in laptops not being sufficient but the posts were pretty old, and it happens on a good desktop too.
Any suggestions? I am considering using a graph, its pretty slow acquisition and I figure there wouldn't be too much of a performance hit. No?
You gurus rock!

P.S. - My brother (a plumber) really appreciated your plumbing story with the power auger.

Can you post a simplified example that duplicates that behaviour?
It looks a lot like what we were talking about in the "What makes chart go wonky" thread. NI reported a CAR but it has been hard geeting examples they can use to enusre they fixed it.
so can you post a simple demo?

Need EXPERT's suggestion for APEX CHART SERIES

Hello Everyone,
I have been trying to solve an issue with my apex line chart. The scenario is as follows:
I have a table called revenue. revenues per year are saved in it. and revenues are generated from three sources which are also saved in the same table.
I have made a line chart on it. works well.
Now I have to show that if the value of one of the sources had fallen, how must have it affected the total. I made a number field that takes an estimated change value, and build my sql query with it. it works but the problem is that it changes the non-affected source too. it must change the value of the affected source only and hence the total value.
I hope I make sense and anybody can suggest something.
bold or I will put it this way, how can I write a select statement for a chart series so that one of the rows value does not change and the other two change. ... ?

Samooray,
Let's work with this question since there is more detail here than in the other one. {thread:id=2543702}
First it's always help to know:
Full APEX version
Full DB/version/edition/host OS
Web server architecture (EPG, OHS or APEX listener/host OS)
Browser(s) and version(s) used
And sometimes this information as well.
Theme
Template(s)
Region/item type(s)
When a question goes unanswered for a while, there is no need to reply to it or to start a new question. You can edit the original question and just add "Bump" at the bottom and save the changes. This will bump it back to the top of the question list. And by that time, you might think of additional information you can add to the question.
Say, why would a question go unanswered? Well, easy questions and frequently asked questions with well-known answers can be answered right away. Your question seems more complicated and I don't think we have all the information we need to understand exactly what the question is.
You are doing a "series" chart. What kind of series chart: bar, column, line? What is each series? For example, components of revenue might be 1) sales, 2) licensing revenue and 3) other. Then you might have one series for sales, a second for licensing revenue and a third for other.
Could you mock up a trivial example on apex.oracle.com http://apex.oracle.com/pls/apex/f?p=4700:1:0::::: ?

Please answer a programming question for an admin

I'm not a programmer (although my interest is growing), so I can't answer this question in a discussion regarding how Win32API w/OLE and COM is SO much better than programming for Unix/OS X applications.
The original discussion was in regards to OS X's superior Unix based security, he devolved to this. Having only begun my venture into programming, his questions are a little above my head at this point. I'm also interested (as an amature programmer), how this would be accomplished in OS X/Unix.
Thanks in advance.
Here's his position:
*(1st entry)*
I have unsed Windows and many flavors of Unix and I have written programs in Assembler, Fortran, Pascal, Cobol, RPG, Smalltak, Basic, PowerBuilder, Delphi, C, C++, C#, Java, and Perl, and I have been programming for over 20 years, so I do have extensive knowledge about programming.
So I have one question for you:
If you had to build a business application that has to allow users to, spell and grammer check, and perform financial calculations, and render the HTML, how would you compare the effort to do this in Windows versus that in Linux, AIX, Solaris or any other Unix operating system?
I can make this business application have these features in ONE DAY on Windows, because COM and OLE lets me, use Word to spell and grammer check, Excel to do the financial calculations, and IE to render the HTML!
I make my living building complex customized business software, and Windows allow me to build these applications by myself in weeks, when it would take me and a team of programmers months to do these same things in Unix because of the lack of an the Win32 API, COM, and OLE, or I would have to BUY third party libraries that did these things, and deal with the licensing, versioning, and vendor problems that go with them, and none of those third party librabries would be close to Word, Excel, and IE in CAPABILITY!
HONESTLY tell me and others reading this thread how you would go about create the customized business application I described above by yourself in a Unix instead of Windows, and tell us how many MONTHS or YEARS it would take you, or how you would have to BUY some other third party libraries to do what Word, Excel, and IE!
Anyone who thinks a Unix has more CAPABILITIES than Windows, has never used Win32API/COM/OLE/.Net, and does not build customized complex business software for a living, because we people that do are the reason that you find some much customized business desktop software for Windows, and so little for any Unix.
I have nothing against Unix, and it is great for simple business tasked server software, but for complex business tasked desktop software Windows with Win32API/COM/OLE/.Net wins hands down!
*(2nd Entry)*
A System administrators view of an operating system and an application developers view are entirely different, and the Win32API/COM/OLE/.NET simply make my job so much easier, and you simply don't understand because you do not have to deal with the "dirty' details of making what a user wants, which is why your definition of "integration" and mines are totally different!
With the spell check you talked about, how will you keep in in synch with the dictionary in Word where the user is constantly adding and removing words?
No, you would have the user to have to maintain two different spell check dictionaries, and you would totally ignore the grammer check requirement!
Cutting and pasting data between applications is simple integration, and not the complex type that I am talking about.
Can you make your application display and use the MacGourmet menus appear in its own window, and to access and use the MacGourmet functionality (ie. search for a recipe) in its own window?
Give me one example of a Unix application that can display the menus of another application, yet alone control its features!
Of course you can't, because you need COM and OLE!
I am quite familiar with different flavors of Unix, but those operating systems do not have the rich API and program integration features namely COM and OLE that Windows has, because it violates the Unix idea of security by process isolation!
Yes that idea of process isolation keeps the operating system safe from malicious code in applications and from one application taking the others down, but you lose the power of programs working together, and you simply cannot build the type of customized business applications that I build by myself, without reinventing the wheel over and over and without having a large team with lots of programmers.
For example, my customers and millions of others spend all day working in Word and Excel, and the Windows idea that I can transparently integrate my complex business applications right in Word and Excel menu, and into their templates and macros, is why third party developers like me prefer Windows over Unix, regardless of how much better security in Unix is.
Do not get me wrong, Java improves business application development on Unix, but unfortuantely it is not feasable to rewrite ever legacy application in Java, and Java does not integrate well with other programming languages.
I used to code business application for both IBM MVS and Sun Solaris, and I never want to go back to those "bad" old days again, once I took the time to learn how to PROPERLY code using Win32API/COM/OLE/.NET!

At risk of feeding the troll I'll wander in here:
NOTE: Since this is an Apple programming boards and I have limited experience programming on traditional Unix systems (and most of that in college) I will confine my answers to the area I know.
If you had to build a business application that has to allow users to, spell and grammer check, and perform financial calculations, and render the HTML, how would you compare the effort to do this in Windows versus that in Linux, AIX, Solaris or any other Unix operating system?
I can make this business application have these features in ONE DAY on Windows, because COM and OLE lets me, use Word to spell and grammer check, Excel to do the financial calculations, and IE to render the HTML!
Note that this scenario assumes the user has Microsoft office installed. The person argues that they don't have to purchase libraries to program but what they are effectively doing is simply transferring that cost to user. I don't have to purchase libraries but everyone of my users needs to. Good for you, very good for Microsoft but bad for your customer - IMHO. OK, I know "But all Windows business users have Office installed already." When it comes free with the system then I'll retract my objection.
Under OS X and Cocoa many of these functions are intrinsic to the system layer and do not require any applications to be installed. Using Cocoa you can write a simple Word processor that has rulers, full font manipulation (including kerning, spacing and leading), Document Save and Load, Printing, Export to PDF as well as spell-checking in under 10 lines of actual code. Adding a custom file type and icon for full system integration will add another 5 minutes to your programing.
In case you think I'm blowing smoke here is a tutorial from 2002 (yes, this has been possible for over 5 years) outlining the 8 line Word Processor build in Cocoa. http://www.stone.com/TheCocoa_Files/What_s_sofunny.html
And yes, Cocoa also includes Webkit so I can add full HTML rendering by dragging in a WebKit window to my user interface. For an experienced Cocoa programmer this certainly sounds like less than a day of programming - in fact it sounds like a good tutorial for a middle-experienced training day or 2 day class in Cocoa.
I won't include the link to the 1 line web browser you can build in Cocoa using Webkit because it's shorter than the description. Feel free to search for it if you want to.
HONESTLY tell me and others reading this thread how you would go about create the customized business application I described above by yourself in a Unix instead of Windows, and tell us how many MONTHS or YEARS it would take you, or how you would have to BUY some other third party libraries to do what Word, Excel, and IE!
BUT this is all done from the stock system that is on every OS X computer not simply those with Office installed. Obviously you'd need to add some features that were more complicated than this - because any halfway decent programmer could turn this stuff out - and polish takes a while but to meet the requirements of the challenge it would take 2 days tops.
Is every *nix programming environment like this? I don't know I can only answer for the system that I have experience with and is the concern of this board. If you really have questions regarding *nix programming then I suggest you find an appropriate board and troll^H^H^H^H^H ask there.
If you're ever serious about programming on the Mac feel free to stop by and actually take a look at it. I think you'll be surprised.

Some dvi questions for those who really know there stuff!

Hi all, haven't lurked these forums in a few weeks but just had a quick question for those who wanna build up some "points". I'm trying to connect my MBP 15" (1.83ghz) to my Dell LCD 26" T.V. via DVI. Anyhoo, the DVI port on an MBP is a DVI-I (Dual link 24 + 5 pin) fenmale port while my Dell LCD sports a DVI-D (Dual link 24 + 1 pin) female port. Anyhoo, I went to my local Circuit City store and picked up a 6.6ft DVI-D (Single link 18 + 1 pin) male cable to hook both devices up. Should this work? If those have no idea what I'm talking about, I've included a link with a picture of allt he different DVI ports:
http://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/thumb/5/59/Dvitypes.png/180px-Dvitypes.png
If I haven't explained myself well, please post and I'll do my best to clarify.

Am I missing something? Do you actually have a problem making this work? If the plugs you chose are mechanically compatible (and both are DVI D, dual-link), then there should not be a problem.
Ah. I see the concern. The extra four pins. I believe they make the connector able to supply hybrid DVI-A and DVI-D. The Mac output is hybrid so it can easily be adapted drive a VGA monitor, too.
I think you should be fine.
I have a ViewSonic 1600x1200 LCD monitor with a DVI (single) and it works superbly with the Mac.

Sounds "sticking" in games and a question for Creat

I'm not sure if this is the best place to do it but I'd like to kind of formally briing forward a bug in games that's not X-Fi dependent. I've had this happen with my Audigy 2 ZS and my Fatalty.
I know this isn't anyone's fault but it's still quite annoying. Sometimes if a player near you starts shooting (usually it's shooting) then the server or he/she lags for a second, his/her gun will be stuck on firing. Till they die or change weapons or fire again, you have that sound looping constantly. At first I thought this was only in BF2 and a bug in the game. However, after playing FEAR online more now, I've had this happen several times. Although it's rare, it is a pain. Sometimes if you ask the player to fire their gun again they will other times they won't.
My question for Creative is, would it be possible to have a "reset" command for the soundcards? Have it flash the RAM real quick or restart the sounds somehow? Just make it a hot key that players could push when it happens?

I am pretty sure I have the same case. The product description on Amazon says VTSO, but the metal tab actually says IVSO. All of the ones I see look like they are probably the same or very similar case with a different name. I bought the QuickShot cover, and it is OK, but it does nothing to protect the corners, which I consider very vulnerable spots. The IVSO/VTSO provides all around coverage. I don't think we are going to find anything much better. If I do I will come back and post.

Question for CL Forum Ad

I have been reading through this forum and there seems to be no shortage of upset customers. They all seems to be asking the same questions over and over again, and the only answer given is, "I'll post more information when I get it".
Now, I'm not a real tech savvy guy, but why is it not possible, to walk over to the desk of the head developer, and say, "Hey Steve, can you tell me why the new drivers are the same as the beta ones?"
And then walk back to your PC and type the answer here. I mean lets be honest, unless you are sending messages via snail mail, I don't understand why this is so hard to do. I suspect you HAVE the answers, but the big cheese at CL has told you to simply deflect the questions for now.
What I am trying to say is that by you saying you'll post information when you get it, does nothing but make your company look completely rag tag. It gives the impression that everyone just works part time from home, and they only meet every other Saturday for a softball game. There is no official statements from CL, you guys don't have any answers, no one knows when anything is being released or what it'll have in it...it just seems like the company is in shambles.
And this brings me to my second question. While you're slow to respond to questions about why things aren't working and such, but you are quicker than a fat man chasing a rolling donut down the street when someone advertises another brand, so my question is what do YOU recommend we do?
Can you suggest some solutions for all of the people who bought CL cards and have no working drivers? I would really appreciate if you didn't simply ignore, or skirt around this question.
I think it's time you threw us a bone here, if you're not going to give us any information, then at least give us some other alternati'ves.

Dude, honestly, I could care less what happened 0 years ago. I have said it before and I'll say it again for you, just because this type of thing keeps happening doesn't mean it's right.
When I buy a product from a company I don't do it thinking, "Hey, maybe if I buy this product then the $200 will help them become the best company in the world, and I don't care if it works or not, I just like the feeling of supporting companies in the hopes they'll do well!"
I buy products, and I expect them to work.
Regardless, if you had actually read my post, you would see that I'm not asking when the drivers will be out, or why they aren't... I am asking why this "world leader" in sound cards can't communicate effecti'vely with it's customers? I am asking why the Admins keep saying the same old mumbo jumbo, and expect us to buy that they can't actually just go talk to the people in charge.
I am also asking if they can't tell me that information, then help me find some alternati'ves.
So, why don't you paypal me a few hundred dollars for a new sound card. You seem to have no problem sitting there giving your sound card "high fi'ves" and talking to it in a sweet voice, "Don't worry little sound card, I know you have amazing potential, I won't give up on you!"
"Do you remember the old days of Windows 2000?" We then cut to a montage of you running through fields of flowers hugging your sound card and a copy of Windows 2000. You shake your fingers at them and say, "Not yet little guys, soon we'll all be together in harmony, we just have to wait!!"

New to this forum, but I am running three Athlon 64 Boards here. The Abit MAX3 the MSI NEO on the KT800 chipsets. Also running a Gigabyte Nforce 3 K8NPro.
You have stated in many posts that the CPU decides what memory it uses, well I have to raise a few points. I have two sticks of Kingston Hyper X with Winbond BH5 work in both the MSI and the Abit, Two sticks of Kingston Hyper X Winbond CH5 will only work in the Abit, not in the MSI, all sticks also work on the Gigabyte. That disproves your theory somewhat. Also Abits bios update has listed as improved memory compatibility, if that is the case, then it is obvious that they cannot change your processor so they must be changing board paameters, relating to timing or voltages. This is a confusing issue.
Regarding the PCI Lock, and that the FSB does not control the hypertransport or PCI clock, why would VIA be busy implementing this in the K8T880 if it had no effect, and why does the hard drive get corruption above 230 fsb if the clock is not changing, it does not happen on the Nforce150 chipset. Also Cool and Quiet works by manipulating the multiplier to change the processor frequency, this is a multiplication of the FSB, and CPU Z also is able to read correctly the FSB.I am not saying that what you say is incorrect, but I am trying to evaluate the situation here.
Some explanation would be welcome as I have not read this explanation anywhere else on the web, and no major hardware review site states this either. Lost Circuits has a pretty thorough review of the chipset and states issues with the PCI clock and hypertransport clock changing. If you use the Nvidia system Utility on the NForce 3 board it also reports the Hypertransport clock, and that is a direct association with the fsb and multiplier. Comments welcome. Also any idea when the voltage issue will be fixed regarding the Vcore, I know of a Beta bios but is it likely to be released soon. Strange thing is the Gigabyte board does almost the same thing, but will og to 1.55 just like the MSI will using windows to overclock.

Hi,
As for the memory controller, see this document:
http://www.amd.com/us-en/assets/content_type/white_papers_and_tech_docs/23932.pdf
As for the via chipset:
http://www.via.com.tw/en/k8-series/k8t800.jsp
Anyway, it's actually funny, as everyone has a different story....
And nobody tells exactly how it's done, not even AMD....
I just gave my best idea of how it works, as nobody seems to know exactly (or doesn't want to say) it's all guessing....
As Anantech has another idea as well:
http://www.anandtech.com/cpu/showdoc.html?i=1856&p=3
He say it's taking it from the HT bus.....and the FSB doesn't exists....
But my MSI manual states that it has an LDT transmitter clock, that controls HT and can only be set Auto, 200, 400, 600 or 800MHz...
So if anyone has a better idea of how it exactly works, please enlighten us all.....
One thing i'm 100% sure of, the memory is controlled by the CPU, not the board

TOP questions for Eseries devices - not so new!

Just noticed that the thread titled:
TOP questions for Eseries devices - start here [new]
Really isn't so new dated 30-Cot-2007 11:48 AM - last edited on 30-Oct-2007 11:48 AM
The post suggests that the first thing to do is update to the latest version of software.
Alas the last update for E72 was 27 October 2010 which is flawed! I know as my phone has misbehaved since installing it and I see other users reporting similar if not the same issues here.
*#0000# reports version 052.005.217.11
Question - How does one down grade to previous version?
The post then suggests "If you still experience problems, you can try if formatting your Eseries device helps. Format the device by dialling *#7370#. The device will request a security code, the default code is 12345 unless you have changed it."
Well actually on the E72 this does nothing! I Type in *#7370# and its displayed to me and nothing else happens. If I enter *#0000# I get the version number so it seems the software/firmware does not understand the code above!
I did try 'factory settings' option from one of the control panel menu's instead at some point of my misery but was surprised by just how little effect that had - many things were not reset.
If your still reading, I thought I would share some steps I have found to sometimes help on E72 when it appears to hang / stall:
1. Try holding down the home button and if the running applications bar is shown try closing the applications by pressing the delete (backspace) key.
2.- If that fails try pressing the off button and selecting 'offline' mode - This sometimes works - if it does then try previous point before going back to an online mode such as 'general'.
3. If that fails - try holding down the power button to turn device off - that sometimes works! But sometimes the keyboard lights simply stay on until the battery goes dead...
4. Remove the battery wait a moment and then re-insert battery. You may then have to enter the time and date. Do check your alarms - during GMT I noticed all my alarms would have incremented by an hour! Not seen this since BST started.

Very strange - or perhaps not that strange but just another issue.... I tried the Hard Reset code again at this time it worked!!! I'm now re-entering my details and remembering what I didn't back up But if it fixes my issues it will be worth it.
FYI from another fine post I found:
FOR SOFT-RESET:
- at Standby Screen type-in => *#7780#
It will ask for “Restore all phone settings-phone’ll restart….”
Then it asks for security code enter factory default => 12345
FOR HARD-RESET:
- at Standby Screen type-in => *#7370#
It will ask for “Restore all phone settings-phone’ll restart….”
Then it asks for security code enter factory default => 12345
FOR FLASHING- TOTAL RESTORE: (Do this if your phone does not boot up)
1) Remove the battery, and then wait for about 20 min or so before putting it back
2) Press and hold these three keys together -Green dial key, Star key[*], Three key [3]
3) switch ON the phone.
4) Do not let go the three keys until you see the WELCOME screen displayed and just let it complete the boot process

Questions for Opinions and Ideas.

Hi,
I have a couple of questions for a few of you to respond.
1) What is the best site for keeping up to date on Java?
2) What is the best site for keeping up to date on technology?
3) What is the best site for news and events in general?
Search questions
1) I have been noticing that when I search on google I seem to get hits that are 3 or more years old? Has the internet become lack luster?
2) Is open source just another way for corporate to give away technology to another country and then outsource to them on pretense that they cannot find anything in the US?
3) Should all open source licenses be for American companies only?
Your answers and comment would be welcomed.

Rooting for them? I guess you didn't have stock in
enron or mci or delphi or maybe the 100's of other
companies that were backdating options or reporting
wrong results. You must also be one who is for
illegal immigrants? I can get more benefits being an
illegal immigrant than I can being an unemployed
white male (never been unemployed until now). I was
one of 3000 that got laid off due to outsourcing.
(company will remain anonymous) Their explanation
was, "They could not get enough technical resources
here in the US, so they were contracting to an
outsourcing company for the services". And so they likely lied. The predominate reason for outsourcing is that the company thinks that they can save money.
Very large companies often can "save" money because...
1. They have absolutely no process control and fail to deliver anything useful with the existing staff anyways. So they save money because it costs less to deliver nothing. (One large company I was aware of one time had a software development department which hadn't delivered anything in 18 months.)
2. They do have stringent process control and thus can deliver actual requirements that means something to the outsourced firm. Given their careful process control they are likely to have found an outsource company that can actually deliver what they promised. This sort of company is very rare.
Smaller companies will never succeed at this unless they have stringent process control as well. And failure here means that the company will be unlikely to survive.
Most companies that think they have process control do not in fact have it. Even with written requirements and written designs the actual product is often built via word of mouth requirements and products don't resemble the designs at all.
Presumably you can judge where your company fits into the above.
Before you
dismiss someone else make sure you think about the
question and why someone would ask. I wish I could
laugh with you.I worked at a company where they laid off 5% of the work force a week before they announced record profits. It had nothing to do with outsourcing.
I have been laid off from several places simply because they weren't making money. In several cases they never made any money. Nothing to do with outsourcing.
One company even had one of those money making ventures in place that involved phony offshore corporations doing phony sales. One of the owners of the company set that up. That had nothing to do with outsourcing either.
In all cases being a competent professional it took me very little time to find another job.

How to Axis labels for Line charts in Business Graphics

Hi
I am planning to do the Business Graphic example using Line chart.As part of this
i didn't clearly understand what is the perpose of Series,Points,categorys?
if i want to set the Labels at X-axis and y axis ,then how to do that?Baiscally i want to put time related data as X-axis label(20min,30min,60 min etc).Please help.
is there any good example to understand the concept?
Thanks
Prasad

Hi Bachier
Thanks for your repsonce.I had seen the example you suggested.but there is no answer for my question.How to set the x-Axis,Y-axis Labels.I had done example for "line chart".But i have same problem:
Hi
I am trying to do example on "line chart" using Business graphics in my webdynpro application.
In the Context i created Node "A" under which i created "B".then it has value attributes xValue,yValue.Then in View i created BG UI element >Series>point-->NumericValue(for xValue) ,NumericaValue(yValue).Now in view init() method i had initialized values to x and y. some output is coming.but i want to know how to set the X-Axis Label,y-Axis Labels.in X-Aix Label i want to mention time in hrs i.e 8.00,8.30AM,9.00AM,9.30AM etc.as part of y-axis labels i want to mention numeric values( .2,.4,.8,2.0 etc). Please tell me how to set this X-Axis,y-Axis labels.at every 30min(8.00Am,8.30AM etc) user enter quality data(i.e .2 etc) then i want to generate chart.Please help in this regard.i will give very good points

How to Enable Alerts for Column Chart

Hi,
I am new to Xcelsius. I have a column Chart with some data, I want to create alerts for that chart but Enable Alerts option is disabled. My question here is Will this option disabled for Column Chart, if not please tell me how to enable this option.
Your reply is always appreciated.
Regards,

Hi,
By default Enable Alert option is un ticked check box, if you try to bring new colum chart and see if that enable or not.
If you get enabled Alert option in new one then delete old one and use new one.

Question for Apple: When do we get "Trackpad Click" in Boot Camp???

Parallels has it. VMWare Fusion has it. Why can't Boot Camp do 'trackpad click'???
I'm buggered if I can work out what was actually UPGRADED in BC 2.0 -- seems to work exactly the same as the beta versions.

Question for Apple
http://www.apple.com/feedback/macosx.html/
And FWIW, I hate trackpad click. Whenever I try to help someone on a laptop which has it on by default, I end up clicking on everything when I'm only trying to move the mouse pointer. So I'm ecstatic that Apple is smart enough to turn it off by default. But I agree that people who have been trained to use this horrible feature ought to have it as an option. But I'm hoping Apple provides the option of focus-follows-mouse for Mac OS X first.

New Sequence Question - for slow motion video

Hi,
I'm a very new user of Premier. I've recently had issues with choppy playback of my preview videos. After much research I believe the issue was down to two things. Firstly my sequence did not match my input clip, I had it set to my desired output. Secondly, I was editing video across my network, rather than bringing it locally to my PC. I've fixed the latter issue by copying video files to my local machine and then moving them back onto the network once I've finished editing.
The advice out there essentially seems to be to match your sequence to your primary input video. I've done that and it helps. However, it's raised a big question for me. My input video is from a GoPro and is at 1080p 50fps. I ultimately want my output video to be slowed down to 25fps (resulting in a constant slow motion effect throughout the entire sequence).
If my sequence settings are set to match the input clip (50fps) and I slow the video down by 50%, will that result in an unsmooth video? My basic understanding is that if I slow 50fps video down by 50% then Premier will have to double the amount of frames. Where as previously, if I slowed it down by 50% Premier had enough frames to play with as the output video was 25fps.
Hopefully my question makes sense! Any advice on what the best approach is? Or is this a complete non-issue when it comes to exporting the video (providing I export to a 25fps formart)?
Thanks,

I think you said it OK, you are just missing the right words to do what you want. Let's walk through this for you, and for others that might read it later.
If you take a 50 frame per second video and put it into a sequence created from it, then slow it down 50% it doubles up each frame to achieve slow motion. Not what you want.
If you take a 50 frame per second video and put it into a 25 fps sequence, it drops half the frames to play at normal speed. Not what you want.
What you want to do is interpret the 50 fps video to 25 fps, then drop it into a 25 fps sequence. Each frame will play at 25 fps and generally be smooth as silk.
I don't have any 50 fps clips handy, but here are examples of taking 60 fps to 30 fps. (Excuse the idiot way that we Americans do things. Our 30 is actually 29.97 etc)
First, right click on the clip in the Project Panel, select Modify, and Interpret Footage. Then change the 50 to 25 - similar to this image:

Question for checking local key-in time

Hi,
I would like to ask one simple question for checking actual key-in time.
Our SAP server located in Europe(CET). The creation date of our orders are based on CET. It is correct. Now I intend to check local time for entering sales order in SAP, for example, our company code is KR01 which located in Korea. Does SAP provide the functionality to check when the order created in local time?
Many Thanks
Aries

Hi Aries,
most applications (like sales order processing) does not provide the option to convert the creation date /time into a local time zone. So your users in Korea have no easy possibility get the date / time displayed in their time zone, even if they have the Korean time zone as user time zone.
Best regards, Ulrich
