Problem Importing Sequence and Changing Speed

Got a good one. I imported 2 sequences into a new project, but when I try to change the speed to anything over 100%, the end of the clip is black. If I try cutting this part out, what happens is the black screen increases, chopping off more of the clip/sequence!!! I've tried everything, and I know it has to do with the sequence being imported, but is there a workaround for this?? I've even tried putting a title/image in another video track, and same thing happens - more black screen, that cuts off even more of the clip. Help please!!

4) clicking on "speed/duration", and changing the speed to, let's say "125%",
Ok, back to my question of post 1. Where exactly are you doing this? To the individual clips, or to the nested sequence?
I suspect the former, given the results. And this is perfectly normal. When you speed up the footage, it takes less time and creates a shorter sequence, but the nest doesn't automatically shrink to compensate, so the last bit of it will be black. It's no different than if you were to remove a couple of clips from the original sequence. All you need do is trim the nested sequence back to the last frame of footage.
Or you could make the speed changes first and then nest it afterwards. Then there would be no black. (And this is what you were seeing when you went back to the first project and changed it there. The end result was that the speed changed before you nested. The black only shows up when you shorten the original after nesting.)
So, bottom line, everything is working normally. You were just unaware of how it worked.

Importing sequences and encoding

Hello,
I've imported two sequences from two different projects into another project and am encoding them as one project. It's 17 minutes total and the video is fine, but, I'm not getting any audio on what I'm producing (MPEG 2). All the settings look fine and I'm getting audio when I scrub from the timeline window??????
Help!

Hi,
I want to export it just so I can preview the two sections together. I'm producing a documentary and I've split it up into 5 sections which I'm working on in different projects. My thought was to import all the finished projects (sections) into one master project and then produce it from there. Is that not a good way to do things? I'd love suggestions to the contrary.
So, I had two contiguous sections completed and I wanted to export them just so I could view them, not to reimport, and I ran into the problem of the imported sequences not producing with audio.
I guess I need to know what gets imported when you import a sequence from another project. Where is the audio? Also, what settings are for multiplexing on the encoder?
Thanks for your time and help all.

Problem importing classes and beans

Hey there. Im having one major fustrating problem! When I code supporting classes and beans for my JSPs I get a code 500 internal server error when trying to import (via <%@ page import="class" %> and <jsp:useBean/>) Im storing my classes and beans in the WEB-INF folder and the calling JSPs are located in /ROOT/tests/8/jsp.jsp. Im using the following to import a class or bean:
<%@ import="aClass" %>
Seen as tho its in the WEB-INF folder I won't have to explicitly refer to where the class is located, just the class name.
I never had this problem when I was using my hosting service. Its only on my localhost server in which I get the Internal Server error.
Help appreciated, thx.
PS: Im quite new to JSP/Java Servlet.

import (via <%@ page import="class" %> and
<jsp:useBean/>) Im storing my classes and beans in the
WEB-INF folder try put your class file in WEB-INF/classes.
or first put bean in the package, like WEB-INF/classes/packagename/beanclass
in jsp page:
<jsp:useBean id="Mybean" class="packagename.beanclass" scope="request" />
Question: is /ROOT a context entry in your server.xml?
Which JSP Container (version) you use? Maybe your localhost server's set up is different with your hosting.

Importing metadata and changing locations

Hello!
I've encountered a problem regarding imported data. I was developing a datawarehouse on a temporary system with OWB installed. I created lots of mappings and tables etc. No we have set up a new database server and I've installed the new OWB repository to this new system. Everything seems to work fine otherwise, but I'm having trouble importing the old data.
I have exported the metadata in the old system and then imported it straight to the new system. The process itself goes smoothly, but I am unable to update the location information of the database modules. When I import for example a table module, everything seems to go alright, but the object does not appear in the control center at all. If I try to configure the table object, I see that the location field is empty and I can't set it to any value. The locations and users in the new system are different than in the old system due to bad naming conventions used in the old system.
Do I have to have exactly the same usernames, location names and module names in the new system as in the old system if I want to import metadata AND be able to deploy it as well?
I hope someone can understand what I mean here.
Regards,
Erik

Hello Oleg,
No. I did not install OWB software on Server2. It is an AIX server which is supposed to only host the full production database of our organization and no additional software components. I used the repository assistant to create a new repository owner on Server2. This process went smoothly.
Then I connected to the Server2 repository via the Design Center on my workstation. I then created a new user via the Global Explorer --> Security --> Users. The new user had the "used as a target schema" tagged. I proceeded then to create the database modules as usual.
The configuration for the whole system is illustrated here (Figure 2-5):
http://download.oracle.com/docs/cd/B31080_01/doc/install.102/b28224/install_rep02.htm#BGBGEFJD
As for Server2 using the Server1 Control Center:
In the (Design Centers) Connection Explorer panel I added a new Control Center (SERVER1_CONTROL_CENTER) in the Control Center menu. I added the Server1 (repository owner) connection details to the prompts. Then I opened up the DEFAULT_CONFIGURATION from my selected project module and selected the new SERVER1_CONTROL_CENTER as the Control Center for the opened project. After this I could use the Control Center normally... except for the mapping deployment bug.
Thanks for taking a look at my issue.

Problems importing photos and iTunes

Have been using iMovie for years - current version 11. All of a sudden, I cannot import photos and music from iTunes into my project. It looks like it will (green plus sign and green bar) but then the perpetual beach ball starts and never stops. I have 22 GB hard drive left and should have plenty of RAM. Bad time for a snag - graduation videos coming up. Any suggestions ? Thanks in advance.

You cannot actually sync photos to iTunes, it just accesses the folder you specified and copies the contents to your iPod. When it says it will replace all photos, it means the ones on the iPod, as you can only either sync (and mirror the contents of your photo folder, whatever it may contain) or not sync (and keep the photos on your iPod the way they are)
Also, copying them to the iPod drive will save them there, but to view them on the iPod, you need to go through iTunes.
Hope this helps.

Having problems with macbook pro trackpad its like it wont register where im trying to lead it to go to... and sometimes bounces around in different directions ... already turned off and changed speed setting

not sure what else to try? and im kind of technology challenged so if any one can help with some step by step answers would greatly appreciate it.

This is what Apple has to say about this problem.

Problem with layout and changing content

Hi, I`m new to Swing and I have a problem with layout.
I want to make a menu using JButtons so that depending on which button you click you`ll get different content in the window. And first of all I don`t know how to center the buttons.
I have a JFrame called GameWindow that has a JPanel field called content. My idea was to create a JPanel with buttons and then using ActionListeners change the JPanel held in 'content'.
Here`s the code:
public class GameWindow extends JFrame{
     private static final long serialVersionUID = 1L;
     private JPanel content;
     private Player player;
     public GameWindow(){
          super("Dawn Crystal");
          Dimension screenSize = Toolkit.getDefaultToolkit().getScreenSize();
          setDefaultCloseOperation(JFrame.DO_NOTHING_ON_CLOSE);
          setSize((int)screenSize.getWidth(), (int)screenSize.getHeight());
          setExtendedState(MAXIMIZED_BOTH);
     public void mainMenu(){
          content = new MainMenu(this);
          Dimension dim = content.getSize();
          setLayout(null);
          Dimension screen = Toolkit.getDefaultToolkit().getScreenSize();
          int x = (int)((screen.getWidth() - dim.getWidth()) / 2);
          int y = (int)((screen.getHeight() - dim.getHeight()) / 2);
          int dimX = (int)dim.getWidth();
          int dimY = (int)dim.getHeight();
          content.setBounds(x, y, 120, 120);
          getContentPane().add(content);
          setVisible(true);
     public void adventureScreen(){
          //so far empty
     public void createNewPlayer(){
          content.setVisible(false);
          content = new NewPlayerCreationWindow();
          getContentPane().add(content);
          content.setVisible(true);
          //setVisible(true);
     public void setPlayer(Player p){ player=p; }
public class MainMenu extends JPanel{
     private static final long serialVersionUID = 1L;
     private JPanel mainMenuButtons;
     private JButton newGame;
     private JButton loadGame;
     private JButton options;
     private JButton exit;
     public MainMenu(GameWindow par){
          mainMenuButtons = new JPanel();
          //create buttons
          newGame = new JButton("NEW GAME");
          loadGame = new JButton("LOAD GAME");
          options = new JButton("OPTIONS");
          exit = new JButton("EXIT");
          //create action listeners
          newGame.addActionListener(new NewGameListener());
          exit.addActionListener(new ExitListener(par));
          //add buttons to panel
          mainMenuButtons.setLayout( new GridLayout(4,1));
          mainMenuButtons.add(newGame);
          mainMenuButtons.add(loadGame);
          mainMenuButtons.add(options);
          mainMenuButtons.add(exit);
          add(mainMenuButtons);
}When it displays the buttons are at the top of the frame rather than in the center - I thought that was how the default layout would behave. So that`s my first question - how to center it.
Secondly I have NewPlayerCreationWindow written but when I call createNewPlayer() I get an empty frame - what am I doing wrong?
Finally I`d like to ask how can I make the frame appear as maximized when the application is started? The setExtendedState(MAXIMIZED_BOTH); doesn`t help actually because the window`s height is too big and a part of window is hidden under the system bar. I want to have it maximized regardless of screen resolution.

Problem in building and changes are not reflecting

Hi Team,
When I am building my DC, It is building without any errors,
But it is not showing anything like build failed yes or no.
I feel Its not building my DC,bcoz in tasks its not showing my DC name.
When I deploy, It is deploying without any errors, but my changes are not effecting.
What could be the problem ?
Thanks in advance.
Regards,
Naresh

Hi Ayyapparaj,
Thank you very much for your reply.
I have reverted the activity i have created for the DC, and deleted the activity.
I have deleted that DC from my NWDS also.
Now I have created the project again, with new activity.
And made the changes, build and deploy.
But still the changes are not effected.
When I build my DC, It is not showing any errors in tasks,
but My DC name is not there in tasks.
I feel my Dc is not building at all.
If some other user is created any activity on same DC but not checked in, then will create this kind of problem ??
I am not sure , where it is going wrong?
Its not showing like build failed---NO.
Its not showing any errors also.
Build is happening within 2 seconds.
Can you please sort it out..??
Thanks in advance.

Naresh

Problem importing Sequence from FCP 7 to Color 1.5!!!!!

I am trying to export a Sequence from FCP 7 into Color and am experiencing problems. When I send the Sequence to Color from FCP 7 Color receives the incorrect in and out points for many of the clips in my original FCP sequence. All of the footage being used was captured with the same settings from the same camera (Canon xha1). I have made all of the clips in my sequence that had basic motion effects into self-contained QT movies, so the basic motion ramping I've done shouldnt be a problem, right? There are no filters on the clips either. After hours and hours of searching, reading, and trial and error I cant figure out why Color will not recognize and play the clips as they appear in FCP. This is killing me and the project I am working on is due ASAP.
Any idea what I am doing wrong? Thanks.

In the Logging Info tab in Item Properties, the self contained QT movies I made have a TC Rate of 24 whereas the normal clips from the sequence have a TC rate of 30. Could this be the reason Color wont read the sequence correctly?
I have tried to remake the self contained QT movies with the Apple ProRes 422 1440x1080 30p 48khz setting, yet still the TC Rate shows 24. What am I doing wrong?
You probably have "24" fps media on a 29.97 fps timeline, which would explain a few other things, especially why the in/out points are wrong on the COLOR timeline. COLOR does not look at express timecodes -- it functions like a good old fashioned EDL and works on durations -- so if the frame rate disagrees, the trims will also be incorrect.
I have no idea how you are making the self-contained QTs. Are you using Export QT, or Conversion? Are you manipulating the export settings in any way? Are you exporting from the timeline?
I myself am very disappointed with Apple's inability to cope with 23.98/29.97, because you are also dealing with three flavours of cadence/pull-down, not all of which are handled correctly, especially with ProRes.

Problems Importing LPs and other recorded music to my iMac

Hi All
I am trying to import my vinyl LPs and other music to my iMac using my JVC MIDI System with a record dec attached. The only output connection is for a standard jackplug (headphone) socket, other than the cable connection point for stereo speakers (at the rear of the system). I was sold a standard cable with a jackplug at either end and told that by connecting this to the input side of my Mac it should work. This does not seem to regognise any form of imput from my MIDI system can anybody help please!
Thanks in advance.

Hi Martin
Thanks for your response I have only used this forum once before and wasn't tosure what details where relevant. I am also not sure if I can provide answers to all your questions but will do my best;-
It would help if you tell us the exact make & model of the equipment you are using.
Your Mac? -IMac 11,1
What JVC MIDI system? Unfortunately it is an old system now and I don't appear to have kept the manual. It is a JVC COMPACT COMPONENT MD SYSTEM MX-MD9R R-D-S EON.
What "record dec?" Actually, what do you mean by "record dec" in the first place? Do you mean yourturntable? It is an AIWA PX-E800 turntable which i connect and play through the aux side of the JVC system
Is your JVC MIDI system capable of providing the RIAA EQ for vinyl LP's? dont know
What software are you using on your Mac to do the recordings? ITunes 11.0.2
In general, I wouldn't use a MIDI device for recording analog audio. They weren't intended for that purpose.
Thanks for your help Paul

Problems with Preview and changes made to images

i occasionally use Preview.app (v3.0.9) to rotate or crop image files (jpegs in this instance). if I then close the image, save changes and re-open, the image is changed. however, the icon doesn't update to the new orientation/crop and if I drag-and-drop the image into Mail.app or Photoshop.app (i'm using a very old Elements 2.0) I get the original image without the changes.
is this a fault or am I just not understanding the way it's supposed to function? surely there's a way to crop/rotate images on a Mac without 3rd party software like Photoshop?
(i'm not talking about images i want to retain in iPhoto either, i'm a business user and don't use iPhoto for work )

Here's several freeware graphics apps that you might want to try.

Import midi and change to software intrument

New to Mac and Logic Pro. Formerly PC and Cubase. New Macbook Pro, Logic Studio, MOTU Ultralite MK3 Hybrid and an M Audio Keystation Pro 88 controller. I am trying to work with purchased midi tracks (full songs including up to 16 tracks). Using parts of these midi projects as backing tracks to fill out a small band. So I'll take a 10 track midi project and drop the piano/keys, guitar and bass and use the drums and strings, etc. as backing tracks; eventually mixing down to an audio file.
Some of these projects I've opened or imported into Logic and I've been able to switch the GM Device instruments to Logic Instruments or even 3rd party virtual instruments like Ivory 2 and Omnisphere. However, I can't get any sound out of certain tracks when I play the midi file even after I've switched the designated GM Device to a software instrument.
Bottom line is that I am asking the best way to use the Notes only from a midi file for multiple tracks, (I delete the other stuff such as Program and Control commands and mix it my own way), get that into a Logic Project so I can assign the tracks to software instruments, and get it to work.

How Best to Import iPhone 4 video into Premier Pro CS5 - Settings for new import "sequence preset"?

Shooting video with my iPhone 4 (ATT version) and am trying to import file into Premiere Pro CS5 (5.0.3) running on Macintosh OS 10.6.6.
The problem is that I am simply guessing on how to import sequence, and the result is that I am getting motion artifacts and generally inferior quality. I am using iMovie 11 as my basis for comparison.   Not surprisingly, iMovie 11 imports from iPhone beautifully, but when I've looked around inside of it for properties, there isn't much to see.
From using Apple's built in quicktime "inspector," it is possible to see that iPhone4 video has following properties:

Seeking advice on how to smoothly and *losslessly* import/ingest iphone4 footage into PPro CS5. (I am not worried about exporting for iPhone display, which is what most of the information I can find relates to).
Thanks in advance, Michael

Wow. Thanks Colin.
When I follow your approach, I don't get the same "sequence preset" dialog box popping up.
FU question, though, the motion is frequently jagged. Is there a way to smooth out/increase the quality of the rendering?    I have 16gb ram, Mac Pro.   which is able to handle iPhone video rending fine in quicktime.   (I've tried rendering for "performance" and "memory" but both seem to produce, eh results.).

Continual problem importing CDs

For years now I have had problems importing CDs, and I am at my wit's end. Many times when I import a CD, I finish, eject the CD, and find that my songs are no where to be found on itunes. Often time they will hang out in the "recently added" playlist, but even then, if I had gone through the trouble of "getting info" and changing the song descriptions and what not, those changes would surely not be shown there. Furthermore, I can't seem to get itunes to recognize the tunes even when they are in this recently added area.
Please help.

I have lost songs in the past and this is what I did to fix it. iTunes uses an on-line service called Gracenote to get the details like song titles, album title, artists, genre and so on. One of those bits of info is whether or not the CD in question is a compilation. This data was entered by people like you and me. If Gracenote doesn't have it in its database, it will prompt you to enter the info and the next person will have it ready to go.
You can search under artist (CTL+B) to look for "Compilations" or you can also look under "Various Artists"
iTunes files albums by ALBUM ARTIST when possible. Gracenote doesn't give that info so if there is a guest artist on one song, that song shows up as a separate album. I fix this by highlighting every song in that album and right-click to GET INFO (CTL+I) and fill in the blank for ALBUM ARTIST.
A more basic check is to look in EDIT > PREFERENCES > ADVANCED to see where iTunes puts things by default. I have a pretty big library, so I installed a separate drive and made that my default. Right below the drive location is a couple of important check boxes.
"Keep iTunes Media Folder Organized" means that iTunes will create folders by ALBUM ARTIST (or ARTIST if you didn't fill in the blanks) and each album as a sub-folder.
"Copy Files To iTunes Media Folder when adding to Library" If you have music files in your computer (thumb drive, desktop, e-mail, MP3 disc, etc) and you add them to your iTunes Library, they stay right there if this box is not checked. iTunes knows where to find them (until you pull the thumb drive out) If you check this box, iTunes puts a copy in the Library: MUSIC > ALBUM ARTIST > ALBUM >
There is another check box that helps find lost songs FILE > LIBRARY > ORGANIZE LIBRARY > CONSOLIDATE FILES
