Problem round tripping dpx PPro CS6

hi, I'm having problems finding the correct dpx export settings to maintain the levels as the original video files.
The project is from the 25fps 1080p DSLR template.
I've tested the exporting dpx at 8bit, full range (LOG)  and over range (LOG)  options and at max bitdepth where available.
When reimporting the dpx images into the same project to check levels and setting source characteristics to match exported characteristics for each file, ie: LOG where necessary including black and white points, on dropping them along side the original video the levels in each dpx are within the 0.0 to 1.0 range in the YC Waveform. My original video source file is > 1.0 in the YC Waveform.
I expected to see the same waveform as source in particular for the LOG exports. My understanding is that an inverse LOG op would be done, (preview in bin certainly shows gamma applied preview on LOG sources on setting import characteristics) that the result would be identical in levels to the source. The whole point of transferring 8bit full levels video as RGB image sequences at 10bit is to be able to round trip without clipping or clamping? I've tested the various dpx import options like 8bit levels, 16bit levels or 0.0 to 1.0 all show the same compressed waveform compared to original.
Source files are here:
The original Canon T2i MOV remuxed to remove full range flag metadata to avoid Premiere h264 codec messing with luma levels on import. So get the full 0 - 255 luma. Used in the project above.
http://dl.dropbox.com/u/74780302/MVI_0907.mp4
The original Canon T2i MOV to compare with the mp4 above full range flag still on. Premiere mess's with luma levels in the naive file on import giving 16 - 235 luma. Not used in project.
http://dl.dropbox.com/u/74780302/MVI_0907.MOV
dpx exports as described above:
http://dl.dropbox.com/u/74780302/dpxs.zip
I wonder if someone could explain what settings are necessary to round trip dpx.

ProEXR plugin (Trial) solves the problem, round tripping full range video to levels > 1.0 (over IRE 100%) in image sequences works, first time no hassle. DPX in CS6 appears to be incapable of doing the same even in LOG. OpenEXR better route anyway.

  • New GPU Quadro k5200 installed and having problem with my AE, PPro CS6  not using the GPUs cuda.

    Hi guys, I recently bought a workstation from BOXX tech with a new GPU Quadro k5200 installed in it.
    I am having problem with my AE, PPro CS6 using the GPUs cuda.
    I went to Nvidia Settings and use the specific App to select it to use GPU n- Quadro k5200. But still not working.
    Please help

    If you edited the Cudatextfile in the Adobe Premiere CS6 directory correctly then the acceleration should be enabled. The only way it it's not is if you have the wrong driver for that version of Adobe or did not edit the text file with the exact name of the card. You can use the GPUsniffer in that same Premiere directoy with the command prompt to see the name the GPU should be listed as. The Ray Tracer file in AE has to be edited with the same listing.

  • PPro cs6 - Audition cs6 - PPro, round trip problem

    I'm having trouble completing the round trip. I got my audio tracks from PPro CS6 to Audition CS6 without problems, right by the manual. But I'm having trouble getting that audio work back  into PPro.
    I'm working a mid-sized project (one hour class, two cameras, etc. headed for DVD). Got edit lock. Everything is done now except for cleaning up audio. After the audio I can send the whole lot to Encore for DVD making. But first, audio.
    Took the entire sequence to Audition  via PPro's  "Edit...Edit in Adobe Audition...Sequence..."  path. This worked just fine. It pushed all the audio files to Audition, Audition opened up and gave me a "make an Audition project" dialog box, etc. Nearly 100 files came over to Audition, on the right tracks, in the right order. Very nice. Made my changes. So far so good.
    What I've read in the manual says that all I have to do when I'm done is "File...Save" in Audition, then PPro will have and use the changes. Sorta like Dynamic Link, but different. So I did the the project save.
    At this point, things deviated a little from the plan. I started up PPro, opened the project, and no sign of the Audition work. Can't find a file anywhere in the project panel that says Audition on it. The files on the timeline are still the dark green of the multi-camera edit, not the lighter green of an Audition file. When I've done this for individual clips, I've gotten back a file with a name like "*Audio Extracted_1.wav" that shows up with the same green as the Audition icon on my desktop.
    So I thought, fine. Not as easy as I had hoped. I'll just have to import it manually. But PPro doesn't seem to have any idea how to deal with a *.sesx file, which is the project file from Audition.
    Should I be exporting, say, a *.wav file from Audition (how?) and import that into PPro? And if I do, is there a good workflow to re-sync this audio with my video tracks?
    I'm confused. Don't know what I did wrong. Don't know what do to fix it. Don't know how to avoid this in the future. So any help gratefully received.
    Bruce Watson

    OK, now I *am* confused.
    Just did it again (a different DVD project however), as described in my original post. This time PPro stayed open for me. So I sent all the sequence audio files to Audition via the "Edit...Edit in Adobe Audition...Sequence..." comman, then did my editing in Audition, and saved it the Audition project. Go back to PPro, and... nothing. No sign of any file from Audition in the project panel. No sign on the time line. No sign of any Audition file anywhere in PPro that I can find.
    What gives? What am I doing wrong?
    What I did get was a folder at the same directory level as my PPro project file, a folder in it with the project_name I gave Auditon when it opened from the PPro  "Edit...Edit in Adobe Audition...Sequence..." command, and then two files for every clip in the project (a *.wav and a *.pkf), and finally two more files, a project_name.xml and a project_name.xml.sesx.
    I suppose I can export a *.wav file to PPro manually. Worked before. But I'd like to learn the "correct" way, the way Adobe intends it to work.
    Darned if I can figure out what I'm doing wrong though. Help???

  • Sun Java Studio Enterprise 8 UML Round Trip Engineering Problem on Linux

    Hi all,
    I know Linux is an unsupported platform but I thought I'd mention that the "Navigate to Source" context menu when trying to generate source from UML is missing.
    If you try to work through the "UML Modeling: Developing Applications" tutorial (http://developers.sun.com/prodtech/javatools/jsenterprise/learning/tutorials/jse8/uml_fe.html) on a linux box, everything goes to plan until step 3 "Choose Navigate To Source from the contextual menu" of the "Continuing Development Using Round Trip Engineering" section.
    I haven't tested it on Solaris but it definately appears on Windows.
    Cheers!
    Mike.

    I just tried on JDS3 Linux and I was able to complete this tutorial from the beginning to the end without any issue. I tried the Navigate to Source option on all classes from the project tree under the "bankpack" package node and source file for all classes were opened in the source editors. In fact, all UML quickstart tutorials have been tested and working as expected on all platforms including JDS3 Linux.
    Which Linux system are you having this problem on?
    Which JSE 8 build are you using (look at product line from Help->About, click on Detail tab)?
    Are you able to see "Navigate to Source" from the contextual menu for any other class from this tutorial?
    As Trey indicated in his response that the source must exist to have this menu option, do you see the corresponding source file generated in the Java project?
    Thanks,
    --Peter                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                               

  • When round tripping with photoshop cc, i get a saved psd file with my original raw,the problem is these are high file sizes and taking a lot of space,can i stop this?

    when round tripping with photoshop cc, i get a saved psd file with my original raw,the problem is these are high file sizes and taking a lot of space,can i stop this?

    That's not the workflow that I use. I have my Lightroom preferences set to create TIF images when going to Photoshop. I keep the original raw file and the TIF image (usually reduced to an 8-bit image) and only export JPEG's when they are needed to send to a lab or to send to someone over the Internet. JPEG files are highly compressed. I only create them when they are needed, and they are discarded as soon as they have been used for their intended purpose. I keep the raw file and the Photoshop-created TIF in my library. This requires extra disk space. But I always have the highest quality files available.

    Has anyone had the same problem ?? I would appreciate any suggestions.
    Thanks,
    Frank

    I found the solution :
    The database was running with a multibyte characterset (UTF8).
    After changing that to WE8ISO8859P1 everything worked fine.
    It is strange that Oracle suggest to use UTF8 when installing the new database (9i)
    and on the other hand doesn't support multibyte charactersets for several of the XML-products.
    Cheers,

  • Round trip from photoshop or portraiture causes problems(TIFF)

    And always has to be honest.  2 different computers, with this new LR build and and several before it.  Mac OS latest everything and previous builds..  Macbook Pro and imac..
    Edit in photoshop CS5 (and previous versions) as a TIFF, apply clone corrections and liquify fashion portraits.  Save and close and re-open for some final tweaks in Lightroom.  I still get erratic sliders, slow updates when moving sliders and jumping bars to previous values on TIFFs only.  Even worse when i edit in Portraiture App and skin smooth, save tiff and return to lightroom.  It takes a about 3 minutes to even show itself before editing, keeps flashing up then dissapearing again.
    If i remove Tiffs that have been through photoshop or portraiture and synchronise the folder to import them back into Lightoom my problems disapear..  but its tiring.  I now find myself using C1 more and more because the transitions between apps are smooth and problem free.  However i prefer the flexibilty, speed and control of LRs functions
    Others must be experiance this, it can't be fate this is happening on two different computers, old computers that have been replaced and previous versions of Mac OS and Lightroom.

    Ernie, the photos are captured by Canon XTi so they are in CR2, saved to my internal HD and then "loaded" to Aperture as referenced files.
    As for PS CS3, I am not sure whether I have it set up as a scratch disk or not (if you could let me know where to check it).
    Yesterday, I did yet another round trip and found out that when I finish in PS and SAVE and CLOSE, then the file shows up properly in Aperture. What I was doing before was I SAVEd if but did not close. Then I would SAVE AS in PS to make sure I have some kind of a version of the file if the one in Aperture fails to work.
    So it seems I cracked it but I would still like to hear what you have to say, or anyone for that matter. It seems to me that the SAVE-CLOSE is crucial.

  • Round Trip problems with FCP, Motion and 16:9

    Hello all-
    I've been having some problems with FCP5 and Motion 2. I am working with anamorphic footage (mini dv), and my problem lies in trying to use the "send to" feature in FCP to Motion 2. If I send some footage to Motion 2, edit it, and then go back to FCP to look at my edit, the anamorphic flag has been removed... the video is squished and there are black bars on the right and left sides of the film. I can easily fix this if I find the clip in the FCP browser and check the anamorphic flag, then drag and drop that clip over the original in the sequence, but I was wondering if there was an easier way. Is there a way to make it be anamorphic when it comes back into FCP from Motion 2?
    Thanks!
    Dual 1.8 G5/2GB & 12 PB G4/1.25GB   Mac OS X (10.4.4)  

    Yes, it loses the anamorphic flag on round trip. Just
    ctrl/right-click on the Motion project in your
    timeline, select Properties/Format and click on the
    anamorphic setting column.
    Patrick
    Patrick-
    Thanks for the reply. That's exactly what I've been doing, but I was just wondering if this was an actual bug or not. I guess we will have to wait for Apple to fix it...
    BTW- Whenever I check the anamorphic culumn, I always have to re-drag and drop the clip in the timeline again. Is this right? Or should it go ahead and change it in the timeline automatically?
    Thanks again!

  • Round trip problems: Trying to remove "noise print"

    Hi,
    I am having trouble understanding the nature of STP's round-trip capabilities.
    I have a 40 minute FCP timeline (FCP v5.1.4 on an MacPro). I need to remove some camera "hum" from the majority of the clips (I have 6 clips total).
    My problem began about a week ago when creating a sample clip for the client to see, I used the Send To > STP Multi-track project. I opened the audio clips in the waveform editor and did a reduce noise print for both clips (I had to do this twice for each side of the stereo clips). When going back to FC, I felt the reduce noise was too strong, so I tried to return to the ST Multitrack project and could not undo the reduce noise print. When I checked the actual "capture" clip in the FCP Capture Scratch folder - the reduce noise is saved onto the clip - How and why did STP make that a destructive edit?
    My second issue is with regards to removing the noise print from all the other clips. Do I need to individually edit each clip segment to reduce the noise print? And if so - is there a way to do this non-destructively?
    Any help is greatly appreciated!
    Thanks!
    -J

    I'm guessing here a little . . . you may have done a save when in "audio file project". That will over write a master clip's audio. Simply return to the multitrack project and do a save there instead. Then, the effects will be saved to the sent file, not the master clip.
    Also, anytime I know I'm going to be doing some "heavy duty" audio sweetening, I duplicate the timeline. That way, anything goes awry, I've got a clean timeline to return to.

  • 2 round trip problems.

    We are working on three timelines that we are round tripping through Color....
    Problem #1. Timeline in FCP is DVCPRO HD, 23.98 fps. Send to Color. Color project settings are now set to 29.97 fps DF, grayed out and can not be changed. When rendered and sent back to FCP, sequence settings are 23.98. Is this normal?
    Problem #2. Only 1 of our timelines (the last one tried) will reconnect with the renders once we roundtrip back to FCP. Two will not. Render files do show up in the correct Finder directory. Sequences are conformed correctly in the (from Color) versions but do not link to the graded render files, they are not color corrected sequences.
    I searched for these issues but did not come up with what we are experiencing. Any help is most appreciated.

    OK, an update... Problem #2 was solved by saving all our grades in order, then re-sending the sequences to Color, applying saved grades, rendering and resending to FCP. Don't know why the first round didn't work.
    Question #1 remains, why the mismatch in frame rate?
    EDIT: SOLUTION FOUND... the culprit? PSD file as nested sequence (layered file) caused the frame rate issues, and possibly the roundtrip issue as well.

  • Round trip from Aperture to PS CS3 and back problem

    Hi everyone; I hope someone can help me to solve this. I posted it before but the only suggestion I got was to check if the processed photo is not stacked under, which it isn't.
    I have PS CS3 set as my external photo processing app (exports are PSD 16-bit 300 dpi) in Aperture 2.1.1. When I process the picture in CS3 and then save it(mind you I only SAVE, I do not do SAVE AS) as PSD (or TIFF) Aperture only shows me the original file in preview with the little circle informing me about the round trip to CS3. So the processed file does not show. Instead I only see two identical versions of the same photo or a layer from CS3.( I mean, I see the master and the version with the little circle).
    If I save the work in PS CS3 as jpeg and then import into Aperture, it shows fine. When trying to import the processed and saved PSD and TIFF files, Aperture only shows the original file.
    If it helps, I am working on layered pictures (HDR) where I use different parts of different pictures to get wide dynamic range. I export 3 or so photos from Aperture at once to CS3, process them into one, flatten the picture and save it.
    And then Aperture just shows me the original file as version. I really need your help with this.
    I have done this before 2.1.1 and it worked. Not sure if I have changed anything that might be causing this.
    Thank you for your ideas.

    Ernie, the photos are captured by Canon XTi so they are in CR2, saved to my internal HD and then "loaded" to Aperture as referenced files.

  • How can I get PPro CS6 timeline to correctly show clip stretched in AE?

    I have a 2 second clip in my timeline in PPro CS6 that I want to stretch to roughly 18 seconds.  I did the following steps:
    1. right clicked on the clip in the timeline and chose Replace with AE composition
    2. when AE opened, I clicked on stretch in the composition and stretched it to 1000%
    3. I changed the composition settings to reflect the new duration of 18 seconds so I could view the entire clip in the timeline
    4. With the footage highlighted, I went to layer/frame blending and picked frame mix
    5. on the composition timeline, I toggled the frame blending on
    6. saved the AE composition
    7.  Back in PPro, the clip is now pink and shows that it's a linked AE composition, but the length of the clip has not changed and therefore only plays the 1st 2 seconds of the clip
    In order to see the entire AE linked clip, I have to either click on the AE linked clip that shows in the project panel, down to the timeline or right click on the clip already in the timeline and choose speed/duration.  Unlock the link between duration & speed and change the duration to the length of the AE stretched clip, leaving the speed at 100%.
    My question, how can I make the AE linked clip automatically show correctly in PPro?
    Also a related question, since the composition is a linked compostion in AE, the frame blending box isn't available on the composition timeline so I have to go to Layer/Frame blending to turn frame blending on.  Is this correct?  If so, how can you set the quality to draft or best?  Also should I pick frame mix or pixel motion to get the smoothest frame blending?

    Fuzzy and Ann are correct in my opinion. Premiere Pro thinks that the duration on the timeline is just the first part of a clip that has been given a rather long handle, so to speak.
    Just drag it out as far as it goes. Premiere Pro will not let you drag it out farther than the end of the comp under these particular circumstances.
    Why not do that automagically for you? Too dangerous. What would it do with anything on the sequence out to the right of the clip? Overwrite it or push it?
    Now, I suppose that a good way to do that would be to alert you about the problem when you return to Premiere Pro and ask you how you want it handled, but that would take a Feature Request. And I am not sure what would need to happen if you had made a bunch of changes to other links other than that one before returning to Premiere Pro.
    Before I suggest that you do that, I have to ask why you didn't  just use the Time Remapping feature of Premiere Pro do do the same job. That way Premiere Pro would have known what you wanted to do. I understand that Timewarp and Time Remapping both have different strong and weak points, I am just curious if you tested both and decided on using After Effects for a particular reason.

  • PPro CS6 Crashes on Exit in Windows 7 64bit

    With any PPro project, when I click to exit the program, there's about a 1-2 second delay, the PPro window is dimmed and a few seconds later a dialog pops up stating that "PPro CS6 has stopped working. A problem caused the program to stop working correctly. Windows will close the program and notify you if a solution is available." Closing this dialog then closes PPro. I've uninstalled Production Premium, cleaned out the registry and re-installed it but it still occurs even with default settings.
    Even with a new basic DV-NTSC project with nothing added to it yet, this happens. Open it, wait a few seconds, then close it.
    I have the following additional info:

    Well, it appears that my workspace, that I've used over the past couple of years, was causing the problem. After changing workspaces and creating a new one (and unchecking Import workspace from projects), things are working properly again. I guess it somehow got corrupted. Wow, something so simple.

  • Why Poor DVD quality Encore CS6 with Sony FS100 MTS files from PPro CS6

    I am using PPro CS6 on a MAC Pro Quad zenon with Boot Camp. On PC side I was using PPro CS6 & Encore CS6 with MTS files from  Sony NX 5U with NO Problems.
    I just started using a Sony FS100 recording 1080i (60) format MTS files. When I Dynamic Link to Encore, the quality of the image is very soft compare to image from previous

    Thanks for the advice. I tryed your method with same results.
    I then tried changing project quality settings with somewhat better results
    but not good enough results.
    I looked at some of my previous dvds that used mts files from my Sony NX5U
    and the quality was much better
    that any results I am having using the Sony FS100 mts files. Even still
    pictures do not look good now in Encore.
    I then tried using Roxio Creator 10 Pro to make a dvd.
    The results were excellant! Video files and stills are great.
    I noticed that Encore CS6 is using the "Main Concept" codec to transcode.
    Has something changed in the basic
    settings with my Encore and can I reset my Encore to original defaults???
    Any advice would be welcomed...Thanks again.

  • Best workflow for round trip editing?

    I understand that iPhoto does not support (yet) round trip editing, i.e. a RAW file can be sent from within iPhoto to an external editor but the resulting edited file cannot be saved back directly into iPhoto but has to be temporarily stored somewhere (i.e. desktop) and reimported into iPhoto using the Import function.
    However,this screws up my "roll" filing structure, because the imported file is now part of a new roll and cannot be moved back to its original one.
    Sure, I could process my photos before importing but this only postpones the problem. Indeed, next year, there will be an other iteration of Nikon Capture with new features and I will want to reprocess some old files to get better results ... and they will have to be reimported into iPhoto!
    Has anyone come up with a suitable workaround that allows an imported file to be part of an existing roll or a solution to merge 2 rolls?
    Thanks
    Michel

    Solved!
    It's again RTFM ("Read The F*ng Manual").
    Workflow would be as follows:
    1. Edit RAW photo from roll, say "Xmas '05", with external editor.
    2. Save modified photo as jpg version (so that the modifications are visible in iPhoto) to desktop.
    3. Import into iPhoto (this creates a new roll, say "Roll 112", number is automatically assigned by iPhoto)
    4. Select all photos from "Xmas '05" and "Roll 112" in the iPhoto library
    5. Select Create New Roll from the File menu (all photos are now combined in a single roll, say "Roll 113" with today's date)
    6. Rename Roll 113 into Xmas '05 and change the date to keep the chronological sequence
    Voila! Roll "Xmas '05" has been updated (just tried it. It works).
    I should have completely read the manual before posting.
