Preview issue - scope monitor

hey all - i have color 1.0.4 - i bought a new imac i7 - intel quad core - because my power mac g5 was so slow it was killing me - SO i go to load my final cut studio 2 (works great) except for the color program (1.0.4) everything is fine except the preview in the scope viewer - it is this crazy red, blue thing that looks like its some sort of weird color waveform thing - the thumb nails are all normal - the still store images are normal until I try and bring them up in the preview viewer window - anyone have a clue:
few more details: files are apple prores, graphic card is - ATI Radeon HD 4850 512 Vram
thanks adam

I think what asantelli might have been referring to is something else--an issue I'm having as well, where the Preview pane in the Scopes window does not display a regular image, but rather various colors overlaid on the image. It's somewhat reminiscent of the "False Color" feature on the Red & some monitors--that is, highlights come up red & yellow, etc. However, most of the image is black.
I also am using an ATI Radeon card and Color 1.0.4. This issue is really annoying as it makes the Video Preview pane almost completely useless, and although I am monitoring through an MXO2 Le to an external monitor, I'd like to be able to see the Video Preview window for setting up secondaries, etc.
Has anyone else had this issue, and, if so, do you know how to fix it? Thanks in advance.

RAM Preview issue

Hi,
I'm wondering if anyone has seen this or can provide some direction for further investigation. This is on a new Mac Pro on which I have just installed FCS
In some projects the RAM preview has no effect on playback performance. After generating a RAM preview, the project will play at the same speed (say 2 fps) and as soon as I pause playing, the green progress bar that indicates project is loaded in RAM disappears or becomes fragmented - without modifying the project in any way. When this happens it also becomes nearly impossible to do additional editing as every simple task (as simple as resetting the play range) can result in the spinning beachball. There was a recent thread on RAM preview issues (http://discussions.apple.com/thread.jspa?messageID=12215113&#12215113) but it appears the problem there was due to a long HDV project. The projects I experience this on generally have a lot of particles or replicated elements, but are standard 720 x 486 resolution projects lasting less than 10 sec. System memory usage is relatively small, less than 4 GB.
These issues arise on a recently purchased MacPro (3.33 GHz 6-Core, 16 GB RAM, ATI 5870). The boot disc is an OWC SSD, and user folders, scratch, etc are on separate hard drives. I installed the operating system on the SSD using the installation disc, and have manually installed all my programs from their original discs. (I initially used migration assistant to bring over applications, but that failed with some applications, so I wiped clean and started over). There have also been some past threads on how different hardware configurations can affect performance, but I don't seem to be doing anything abnormal here.
What I have done:
Tested ram using memtestosx
Verified memory usage through activity monitor. The projects I have tested on use up less than 4 GB of system memory
Before each test or comparison I reset preferences.
I do not have this flakey behavior with an older MBP (17" 2.93 GHz Core 2 MBP with NVIDIA 9600) running the same OS (10.6.4) and motion version (4.0.3). Running the same project on the MBP will take longer for the RAM preview to complete, but when it does, the project plays at full frame rate.
The upgrade to a MacPro was mainly for other CPU and RAM intensive applications unrelated to video or graphics, but I expected motion to show a nice performance boost over the MBP on this new machine. Anyhow, any insight or direction for further investigation that I should pursue will be appreciated.
Thanks.

I tried your project (nice, BTW), and yes, 20,000+ particles take some time to render. However, when I did a RAM Preview, I had no problems - after render it played at full speed.
UNTIL...
I selected the emitter. Then playback went to the pre-RAM-Preview speeds. As soon as I turned off overlays or made sure the emitter was not selected, the playback instantly sped back up to full speed. I believe this is because Motion needs to image the constantly changing outline of the emitter. This means it needs to be re-drawn every frame after Motion determines the extent/size of the 20,000 particles on their random journey.
I think this is backed up by the fact that near the end of your project, there are only a few particles to keep track of and the playback appropriately speeds up. Also, CPU usage vastly increases when I turn on the overlays.
Moral of the story? To ensure the quickest possible playback, turn off overlays (⌘/) or ensure that something like a particle emitter is not selected during playback.

Preview issue. Send to iPhoto option is grayed out after Lion upgrade

Preview issue. Send to iPhoto option is greyed out after Lion upgrade.
In Snow Leopard it was an option to send pics from Preview to iPhoto, but now it is greyed out if I right-click on the pic. I have searced and tried everything, but I cannot fix it, so does anyone have a fix for it? Please :-)

I can offer no help but would also like to see this issue resolved. Firstly, it would be useful to know if this problem is seen by everyone. When viewing photos in Preview, with thumbnails in the sidebar, right-clicking on any of the thumbnails results in this:
Prior to the upgrade to Lion, "Send to iPhoto" was not greyed out and worked as expected.

Full screen preview with one monitor

Hello,
I'm using Premiere Pro CS5 on a Mac with a single monitor. I would like to see the full screen preview on this monitor, hiding all GUI elements.
By reading around, I could only find the suggestion of selecting the Preview pane and press the ~ or ` key. Unfortunatly, it seems that this shortcut only triggers the Maximize or Return to the Original Size commands. GUI elements remain in the display.
Is there some preference to select somewhere?
Thank you, Paolo

That's as close as you can get with Premiere; it doesn't do a single-monitor fullscreen the way FCP does.

Quick preview issues

I’m using a late 2008 MBP and SL 10.6.4 with AP3. After importing around 5000 RAW to a new project, quick preview in full screen isn’t working properly. Viewing the photos in full screen at full resolution is not an issue. Only when switching to quick preview, the image disappears and the screen goes black. When flipping through the photos in full screen and quick preview on, the photos flash up for a blink of an eye before the screen goes black again.
What I’ve tried so far is to delete and generate new previews, repair permissions and the library and rebuild the library. However, as a result all projects now have the same issue. Moreover, photos aren’t shared with other (iLife) applications. The projects in the photo browser in Mail as well as the control panel for desktop background are empty. Sharing with iTunes, i.e. syncing photos on my iPhone, doesn’t work (again, projects have 0 photos). Of course, sharing is enabled in AP preferences. I’ve read several articles about this sharing problem but the solutions posted didn’t work for me. As sharing uses the jpg files, I guess this is somehow related to the quick preview issue.
It seems that for some reason Aperture does not read the jpg files. Any ideas what else I can try to solve this? Thanks!

Unfortunately, I do not have a solution for you because I am struggling with a similar problem since the release of AP3. I have also experienced the blink of an eye appearance and disappearance of some previews. Also, sometimes the thumbnails and the preview pictures shown are unrelated, or the previews are scrambled. I have tried every AP2 to AP3 conversion strategy in the book; the result is always the same. Hope Apple finds a solution for this quickly.

Video preview through second monitor

I'm running PPro CS5 on a mid 2010 Mac Pro with an ATI Radeon HD 5770 graphics card. The card can feed up to 3 monitors - of which I have two connected right now. In Encore I can choose to preview from either monitor, but in PPro I seem to get only two options - 'None' and 'DV'. In CS3 (on a PC) I used to be to enable this with the Desktop setting.
How please do I set things up to find my second monitor? I have updated my Mac's software (which should pick up the latest approved graphics drivers), so I don't think it's an ATI problem.
Thanks very much
Julian

Here you go Jim. A little cramped for me having the main Premiere interface on one screen, but it will do for now. If I can get the third screen running, I wn't really need my MX02 Mini - which doesn't yet work properly on the Mac anyway...
Good luck with making your system work this way. Let me know if I can help further.

Performance issue entering monitor etc

Dear Sirs,
Our system currently feels quite slow. When entering the monitor for a load, or managing a cube the system it takes a while.
In SM50 I can see it reads at table (sequential) på RSMONIPTAB (which contains 1 millions records).
SAP help.sap.com describes a process u201CArchivation of Request Administration Datau201D, which might help? Look below. However, I do not like the paragraph marked in bold. What kind of features do they reference to.
http://help.sap.com/saphelp_nw04s/helpdata/en/42/ead8d7b55e1bd2e10000000a11466f/frameset.htm
Archiving request administration data allows you to store the administration and log information for a request in an archive. In BI, tables store the totals records that the system requires so that the request is not set to red because information is missing. This function allows you to limit the size of the administration and log tables, RSDONE und RSMON. This improves performance for actions performed for the request and in the affected InfoProviders and saves memory space in the database without affecting the status set by the system.
For certain functions and processes that access requests, you have to reload request administration data to the BI administration and log tables.
Any hints on the issue in general; performance issue with monitor, please let me know.
Best regards,
Jørgen

Guess note below describes gives more info about situation. However, not with a clear solution :=)
SAP Note 694895 - Performance and tables RSMON, RSDONE
Note Language: English Version: 5 Validity: Valid Since 29.11.2005
Summary
Symptom
Tables RSMON* (for example, table RSMONMESS) and tables RS*DONE (for
example, table RSSELDONE) continuously increase in size in the BW system
with each request that is created.
Currently there is no option to reduce these tables.
Do not delete any entries from these tables. If you did, this would have
the following consequences:
When you carry out the next check for the requests for which you have
deleted records from these tables, the check will not run properly.
The status of the relevant requests turns RED in the monitor, and also in
all affected data targets that contain the request.
The affected request and all subsequent requests are no longer visible in
the reporting - all queries on the affected data targets then only display
old data.
Numerous dumps will occur in various situations.
You will not be able to repair the errors caused by the deletion.
More Terms
RSMONMESS; RSSELDONE; Performance; RSMON; RSDONE;
Cause and Prerequisites
This is caused by a program error.
Solution
In the next BW release (BI in SAP NetWeaver 2004s - that is BW 7.0), you
will be able to archive entries from the RSMON* and RS*DONE tables using a
request archiving process that archives the administrative information for
requests.
After archiving, these tables are then considerably reduced in size.
Until then, there is unfortunately no option for reducing the tables.

RAM previewing issue

Hi,
I'm working in After Effects CS4, and I'm having a problem when I try to RAM preview short sections of an animation project. The RAM preview keeps stopping before it reaches the end of the work area, and beginning again. I'm pretty new to the program, but I've also noticed the little green bars that, I believe, tell you if the section has rendered/processed always have little gaps in them. That may be related. I don't know.
Does anyone know what may be causing this RAM previewing issue?
On a side note, I'm using After Effects on a Macbook (not a Macbook Pro), and I'm wondering whether this problem may be due to the Macbook not being sufficient for After Effects and CS4 in general. (I had originally intended to install the program on my 2004-era G5 tower, but it wouldn't install After Effects CS4 because apparently the program won't work with PowerPC processors, only Intel ones. At least that's what I was told.) Anyway, I've wondered whether the RAM previewing issue may be due to the Macbook not being enough computer for After Effects/CS4. My Macbook has a 2 GHz Intel Core 2 Duo, 2 GB 1067 MHz DDR3 and 106 GB of available space.
Any insights on the RAM previewing issue and whether my Macbook isn't a suitable computer for these programs would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks a lot,
Neil

From the theoretical specs there is nothing that speaks against your notebook. Apparently the biggest hurdle for some users is to get it to run in the first place, but now that it runs, it's safe to say that you will be able to use it properly. Of course, to let truth have its way, you will become slightly peeved at a point and get that yearning for a new machine, when you use more functions and your projects become more complex. Especially the only 2GB RAM will then often become a show stopper and you will really hate Adobe when one of those dreaded "Could not creat X x Y buffer" or similar out of memory warnings pop up. Still, no need to rush. Take your time and see, if AE is even everything you thought it would be and then make clear, structured plans for getting a new computer. You wouldn't wanna spend another 2000 bucks on a spiffy machine just to run AE once a month.

Adobe Content Viewer (desktop preview) issues

The Adobe Content Viewer (desktop preview) runs off the bottom of my screen (27") when viewing content from InDesign for the new iPad. Would like to be able to alter window size and be able to scroll down to view artwork at full size. Am I missing something simple?
I've downloaded the latest updates for the folio producer tools as well as the folio panel update.

The Adobe Content Viewer for the desktop currently doesn't preview new iPad (2048x1536) folios properly. This desktop preview issue should be fixed in the next release.

What is Road map Analysis, Issue tracking,, Monitoring, Reporting?

Hi
Friends
what is Road map Analysis, Issue tracking,, Monitoring, Reporting?
can any one clear my doubts in detail full points will be given

Dear Venkat,
Your questions are very high level questions.
Roadmap Analysis: This term is generally used in SAP Implementation where we compare the project status with the SAP roadmap. Generally in ASAP Roadmap, we have SAP specified standard deliverables, and there can be custom deliverables as per the client's requirements. If we need to do an analysis of custom deliverables viz standard deliverables or standard roadmap viz custom roadmap, we call it as roadmap analysis.
Issue Tracking: Very broad level term - can be in Implementation as well as support projects. Issues are either support problems or implementation problems which are documented and recorded for solutioning and approval. These are generally steering committee terms used in a project.
Monitoring: Again a broad level term. Any watch process can be termed as monitoring. Eg: Monitoring of Backup; Monitoring of System health check etc.
Reporting: Again a broad level term. It is the same as defined in the english dictionary. Nothing related to any process in SAP with technical solution in mind.

Anirban

AE CC 2014 mercury preview on second monitor suddenly lost

Hi
First mercury preview was working fine on my second system monitor and through blackmagic (beside the lack of scaling the image through BM)-
Then because AE suddenly had a problem with initialising Media Core I un-installed AE and re-installed again.
Now I don't have the mercury preview on my second monitor anymore! (I need it because only this way I can monitor scope format)
The preview of standard HD works fine through Blackmagic instead!
Anyone knows how to solve this (urgent)
Thanks.
Regards,
Uli

Hi Tim
Thanks for getting back to me about this issue.
Actually this is a minor problem, or none at all.
What is a bit frustrating that Blackmagic won't do any scaling. Aja does a pretty niche job.
This is mentioned in the AE_video_preview document as well.
The point is that it is possible because Davinci Resolve does it with the same card.
Best regards,
Uli

Pdf portfolio document preview issue

I'm creating a pdf portfolio in Acrobat XI and have run into a problem when using grid view. When viewing the pdf portfolio on my 15" laptop, the document preview is cropped in both the thumbnail and larger preview. But when I view the pdf portfolio on a larger monitor, both previews are fine. Any ideas on how I can fix this issue? Thanks so much for reading.

Hi Vikrantt,
I'm using Acrobat 11.0.07. Any other ideas on how I can solve this problem? Thank you.

No preview or scopes information in Apple Color

This is the second time I've had this issue in around 3 months. I had initially solved the issue but had to do a full clean install of OSX and also my Final Cut Studio package. It's occured again for no apparent reason and to be honest I don't want to waste another few days doing a clean install of both my operating system and editing package again.
The issue is, my project in FCP 7 is ready for grading and when I click 'Send To > Apple Color', it brings the project over into Color and every clip can be scrubbed through on the timeline. However there are no previews showing up of the clips in the preview window, as well as no colour information/data showing up in the scopes. It's as if there is not video within my project even though there is a good 9 or 10 minutes of footage that needs to be graded!
I want to sort this problem as soon as possible due to this being a project that is of utmost value!
I've attached an image of the issue to this post. Thanks in advance.

Ladies and gents I'd just like to let you know I've solved this issue! It was a bit of a eureka moment but it seemed to do the trick. I'll explain below.
Basically I have a short section of the film that was shot on Super 8mm film. The Telecine I had meant the footage came back as a perfect 4:3 square, but I wanted a more traditional smooth/feathered/curved/rounded frame over the footage, so I'd created a PNG file with a black border and transparent centre to overlay on top.
For no apparent reason I decided to delete this image file and try sending the project to Color. Low and behold it's worked no problem and I can now finally see my video in the video preview section, as well as the colour data and information in the scopes.
A massive thank you to everyone who commented on this thread! Thanks for your time.

Mercury transmit issue - 2nd monitor won't play on 2nd monitor (!)

Hi there
Having an issue with mercury transmit. Am attempting to get playback on my second monitor out of after effects, however all it will do once Transmit is activated is display the feed overlaid on the same screen (i.e. my 'home' screen) rather than on the second monitor.
Have tried every setting I can find, varied preferences, monitor locations, screen sizes etc but nothing seems to work. It works absolutely fine out of Premiere so it is purely an After Effects issue. It is outputting via HDMI to a Panasonic Viera monitor and am working on a new Mac Pro 3Ghz 8-Core Xeon E5 with dual AMD FirePro D700 cards.
Any suggestions gratefully accepted!

Thanks for the screenshot, Zen.
Given all the troubleshooting you have done, and the fact that I can not reproduce the problem, I'm at a loss for an explanation. What appears to be happening is that After Effects is using incorrect coordinates for the second monitor. Whether it is receiving incorrect coordinates from Mac OS or it is incorrectly adjusting the coordinates itself, I can't tell.
That's not to say I'm out of ideas yet.
One question is what do you have plugged into the Thunderbolt ports on the Mac Pro? I assume your primary monitor is connect to one, but what else is connected and which ports are they plugged into?
There are 6 Thunderbolt ports on the Mac Pro, but they only serve 3 Thunderbolt busses, and the HDMI shares one of the busses (ports 1 & 3 are bus 1; ports 2 & 4 are bus 2; ports 5, 6, & HDMI are bus 0). It's recommended you do not have more than one display device connected to a single bus.
So, if you have more than one display device connected to a single Thunderbolt bus, or if your primary display is on bus 0, try changing the ports the displays are plugged into.
Here's a number of other ideas and questions off the top of my head:
- In the Preview panel, is the Full Screen option enabled?
- In System Preferences > Display, for that monitor, what happens if you set the Resolution to Scaled and set the resolution to 1280x720, or any other value?
- Try creating a new user account, and test After Effects under that account. Sometimes there are non-obvious preferences or settings, this is the easiest way to isolate to that.
- Try resetting the SMC and/or NVRAM (PRAM):

Feature Request: Preset Preview on Second Monitor

Currently, when you have monitor 2 set on "Loupe" mode and it is set for a "Live" view, and then scroll across the filmstrip on monitor 1, you can see the images change on the second monitor.
I would like to have the ability to set monitor 2 on "Loupe" mode with a "Preset" view, so you can see the effects a preset will have in the larger view, as you scroll over the presets you have created on monitor 1.
The ability to see what effects a preset will have on an image is a great tool. The only issue I have with it in its current condition is the size of the preview window. IMHO, being able to see how the image would be effected full-screen before having to actually apply a preset would take this feature to another level.
Any comments or suggestions would be appreciated.
Regards, JML

This is an absolute must.
