Problems trying to adjust imported subtitle file

I'm trying to move some of the subtitle timings around slightly by dragging backward and forward and trimming etc but some refuse to budge. Any suggestions?

Can Premier Elements Import Subtitle files?

Can Premier Elements Import Subtitle files in one of the following formats (DFXP, SBV, SRT, SSI, TXT, VTT)?
Thank you,

No. Premiere Elements does not support subtitles. If you want subtitles you can workaround it by having two versions of your video, one with text added to the video track and one without - but you wouldn't be able to toggle between them during playback.

Import Subtitle File (STL)

Hi -
I am trying to work out how to import a text subtitle file for use with DVD Studio Pro 4. I've been reading the manual and, from Page 456 it gave this example:
$FontName = Arial
$FontSize = 65
//The following subtitles are for scene one.
00:00:12:04 , 00:00:14:12 , Lemurs are the bullies of the wild.
00:00:16:14 , 00:00:19:08 , Here we see them bring down a moose.
So, I take that bit of text, copy it into TextEdit, save it as an RTF file (Unicode, as recommended) and go to import the file and nothing happens. No subtitle. I've tried both right-clicking in the subtitle track as well as going to the inspector there to insert it that way. No luck.
I've even tried saving the file with different extensions (.txt, .stl, .rtf) and in different character sets (unicode-8, macroman) to no avail. Most often I get: "No corresponding subtitles found" but with some of the attempts it just does nothing. No error; no subtitle.
Anyone have a file I can test that works or tips ? I am stumped since I copied it right out of the book.
Thanks,
Damon
PS: I do have a corresponding video track in place already.

I finally got it working, what I had to do was try another example. Not sure why this didn't work for two of us but did work for someone else ... as I said, despite various format shifts (unicode-8, macroman) and file types (rtf, txt, stl) I couldn't get the DVD Studio Pro example to work. I found another example on the web, however, and this one did work. The only difference that I see is the number of "options/settings". I even tried removing some of these options/setting at it stopped working. I'm not sure if DVD Studio Pro is requiring all these for a successful import. So, I am making it work by using all the options and then just changing them (and "applying to stream") to get it to work. See the example below from: http://www.geocities.com/mcpoodle43/DVDMaestro/stl_format.html
//English subtitles
$FontName = Arial
$FontSize = 36
$HorzAlign = Center
$VertAlign = Bottom
$XOffset = 0
$YOffset = 0
$ColorIndex1 = 0
$ColorIndex2 = 2
$ColorIndex3 = 8
$ColorIndex4 = 3
$Contrast1 = 15
$Contrast2 = 0
$Contrast3 = 15
$Contrast4 = 0
$ForceDisplay = FALSE
$FadeIn = 3
$FadeOut = 7
$TapeOffset = FALSE
00:00:03:24 , 00:00:06:29 , Did you read the paper today?
00:00:10:07 , 00:00:12:21 , No, did Edwards quote me right?

Importing subtitle file - no subtitles

I'm exporting an xml file from fcp of preexisting subtitle tracks and using TEP to convert to an STL file. I look at it in textedit and it looks fine. I can import into dvdsp (by control clicking in a subittle track). It tells me that it imported subtitles but the subtitle track is empty. I can create a subtitle from within dvdsp without a problem on that track.
Any ideas?

me stupid. Finally realized that dvdsp sets default sequence start tc at 0:00:00:00 while fcp sets it at 1 hr. Changed sequence tc in fcp to 00:00:00:00 and all is well.

Problem trying to cataloge a jar file OBPM 10.3.1.0

Hi,
I´m having problems when i cataloge a jar file, in OBPM suite 10.3.1.0, it is an itext jar file. I´ve been trying to cataloge older and newer versions of the Itext jar file but there´s no difference in the outcome.
I create the external resource, but when i try to cataloge the package it doesn´t work
The message it returns is:
[Error] Excepción de introspección: Internal Error: java.lang.VerifyError: (class: com/lowagie/text/RectangleReadOnly, method: <init> signature: (Lcom/lowagie/text/Rectangle;)V) Bad access to protected data..
is there anything i can do to solve this problem?..
Thanks for your time

Hi Dan,
I´ve done what you told me, i buid a helper class to invoke the iText classes ,and i just cataloge the helper class keeping all the jar files only in the external resource
When i run my class out of OBPM it works fine, but when i try to invoke my class from OBPM with the same jar classes i use in a external way i get the following message:
     at fuego.component.ExecutionThread.work(ExecutionThread.java:839)

i change the version of iText.jar many times and i get the same message..

Importing Subtitle files from CaptionMaker

Trying to import either a .son or a .stl file. DVDSP imports less than half the files, starting with #600 something out of 1200 files. Going back and forth with the subtitle program (CaptionMaker CPC 700) to see if the export settings are incorrect, or if it's a DVDSP issue. Anyone encounter this before? Is there a specific setting in CaptionMaker that DVDSP likes?

Hi Nathan,
A couple of obvious places to start.
Check that the timecode start matches the mpeg you are using.
Secondly check the validity of the font on your system which is specified in the srt file.
They are the most obvious problems.
Good Luck

Import subtitle file error

I have a project that was split across two tapes. The tapes were sent out for subtitling and I received back two separate STL files, one for each tape.
In my build, I dropped the assets from the two tapes one after the other on track 1. Everything works fine and the subtitles for the first tape dropped in without a hitch. However, I keep getting an error when I try to import the second set of subtitles. It says "No corresponding subtitles found.
The video asset timecode may not correspond with the timecode specified for the subtitles in the import file or the file is invalid."
I reazlie that I must eventually have one big STL file. Importing an STL file wipes out any previously existing subtitles. But I can;t the second set to import at all. I cannot seem to shift the timecodes on the second STL to get the subtitles to import. My asset-based and zero-based timecodes read the same.
I can place a subtitle by hand at a particular location in the second tape footage, but when I use the same timecode in the STL file, I get the above error.
Should I have created my project with the two tapes on separate tracks? I did a quick test with that and it seems to work that way, but it would involve redoing a bunch of navigation so I would like to avoid it if possible. It seems that there should be a way to get this working on one track as I have it.
Thanks in advance!
Todd Nocera

I am using STLEdit to shift timecodes in the STL file. I can shift the timecode values for Tape 2's STL file. That is not a problem. But no matter how I shift the timecode, I still get the quoted error when I try to import the STL file.
In DVDSP, on Track 1, I place the wiper on a shot change that I know corresponds to a particular timecode for Tape 2. I determine the proper offset to apply and I shift the timecode values in the STL file. That part works fine. But then I get the errror on import. I doesn't load any of the subtitles. It claims the timecodes don't match but I am looking at the timecode in the timeline and it should be a perfect match.
Thanks.

Problem viewing data after import TDMS file

Environment SignalExpress 3.0. Windows XP.
I have a number of logs created and saved in a SignalExpress 3.0 project. I'm trying to import a single log into a new project and view the data in a data view window.
So I do:
Open SignalExpress
File->Import->Logged Signal from SignalExpress TDMS files
Navigate to the log folder named - "25062009_135820_-_Nano_Carbon_Pyrograf_T1"
Double click the tdms file named - "Voltage.tdms"
I see the following tree structure in the Logs pane :
Logs
    - 25/06/2009 13:58:20
        - Nano Carbon Pyrograf T1
            - Voltage - Dev3_ai0.
If I then try to drag Voltage - Dev3_ai0 onto a data view it doesn't work.
I've inspected the original project which I used to create the log tried to import above. Comparing the tree structure it looks:
Logs
    - 25/06/2009 13:58:20 - Nano Carbon Pyrograf T1
        - Voltage
            - Dev3_ai0
In this project I can drag Dev3_ai0 onto a data view with no problem.
Notice the difference in tree structure in the Logs pane? I'm pretty sure SignalExpress is parsing the log wrongly when it imports it!
Mike

Hi Mike
I know that we have communicated over email but I just wanted to respond here so others can see the workaround.
I have investigated the issue and have been able to reproduce the issue, even in Signal Express 2009. The problem is caused by the name you specify for the log when you begin recording. If the character "-" is present at any point in the name of the log, Signal Express does not import the tdms file correctly. This is not an issue with the tdms file, as it opens fine with LabVIEW, but must be an issue with Signal Express. I have reported this as bug under reference #182846. For now, you should not use the "-" character in the name of your log.

Problem, trying to play many sound files

hello,
I did not find a specific answer to my question in most of the archives and so I am posting here.
my problem is that I have to play a sound when mouse moves over an object and another sound when the same object is clicked.
there are many such items on the screen and so it is expected that when the mouse entered from the mouse listener is fired, the sound must play.
but what really happens is that when the mouse moves over the first object the sound plays all right. but there is no sound played when the mouse click happens.
I have properly loaded the sound files and I am sure that the code is right.
infact the major thing that has frustrated me is that if I move the mouse on an opject (an icon) the sound is properly played. and if I wait for a long time and then move the mouse on another icon the other sound is played as well. but if I move the mouse quickly from one object to another no sound is played for the second object. or if I click the mouse on an icon after a long holt even the click sound playes.
what could be the problem. why is it that sound only play when the actions are done after long haults?
is it an issue of java performance. should I try to do the sound playing stuff in different threads for each icon's mouse events?
I also tried to stop the file on the mouse exit method to make sure that there is no sound left playing.
this game is depending a lot on mouse movements with sounds and so I have to get the sounds playing at the same time mouse moves over the objects.
I use the audioClip to load my sounds with the method in the applet class.
I really don't know abt the latest java media api and will like to know if that is what I must use for my task or audioClip is ok with me.
thanks
Krishnakant.

I dont know exactly, but I dont know if applets support various files at one time.
Have your tried to do that with javax.media or with javax.sound.sampled?
Or could your post the code?

Problems trying to "hot-deploy" class files in iPlanet. Want to deploy a compiled class (i.e. servlet, jsp) without having to bounce the server. Known issue in iPlanet? How can I get around?

Currently iPlanet is not allowing us to hot deploy a modified class file(i.e., servlet) as it advertises. It doesn't seem to have a problem with jsp's however. But everytime we modify a servlet(say in an emergency), and wish to deploy, we still have to bounce the KJS. We would like to avoid this if possible. How? I heard this might be a known issue in iPlanet.

I apologize but this is a clarification of this problem. We are having a problem dynamically reloading java classes that are referenced by jsp's and servlets. The problem DOES NOT exist when trying to reload jsps or servlets themselves. We would like to reload these classes without having to restart the processes. Any thoughts would be helpful. Thanks.

A frustrating problem I'm having importing PSD files into ID CS3

I am doing some page layouts for ads for magazines, and I've had a frustrating problem with Photoshop and InDesign CS3 for the longest time. Basically, I want to drag the PSD files we have already made for our products into my layout and use them as-is, but when I do so, they display as garbled ugly things in my InDesign CS3 layout, no matter what. The fix is for me to load the PSD, copy the contents, make a new file, paste the contents of the last other file, and save it as a new PSD file -- then things will work great. But this is a big pain in the buttocks and I'd like to fix the problem and eliminate this step.
You can see an example : http://twitpic.com/1kxp33 .
Basically, the image on the left shows the garbled image which has been dragged into the layout. It's just a normal PSD, single layer, but perhaps saved with some incompatibilty such as not being saved in "maximum compatibility mode" or having been saved with a color file attached. The pic on the right shows the correct image that I have manually resaved and imported.
Can anyone help me figure out why all of my PSD files are being garbled when I drag them into InDesign?

I just did a test there and the Maximise Compatibility had minimal effect (ironically) on how the image looks in InDesign CS3 or in InDesign CS5
However, I did get a warning that the image was saved witout Maximise compatibility and it may have an effect on performance, nothing else.
Perhaps the other people are not on the same version of photoshop as you are, perhaps run the adobe updater and make sure you're all on the same version update for both apps.
Trashing preferences might clear up your photoshop images - hold down the three modifier keys bottom left corner of the keyboard when starting photoshop (sorry Peter I don't remember the Mac Combo )
Really hard to know why this is happening though.

Problems trying to publish a flash file with flv component onto a dreamweaver site

Hi, I posted this on the flash forum too, but maybe here is
more appropriate....
if anyone can help me out with this, I would really
appreciate it. I have put a flv file into a flash document,
published it for progressive downloading (the video lasts about 4
minutes) all seems fine when I test the movie.
I then wanted to embed it into my website. Everything seems
fine there too, except that when I preview it in a browser, it
looses its skin.
I copied the swf file and the skin into my remote server
along with the flv file that is placed in the swf.
However when i upload the page, there is no video.......
Is the file to big? Or have I done something wrong. Is there
a script that I'm supposed to do?
Sorry to seem stupid, I'm learning as I go along from the
help topics, and I cant seem to find my answer,
Thanks
John

It had me puzzled too until I realised I had exceeded the
amount of webspace my ISP had granted me. By uploading a FLV file
to my ISP, I had exceeded the 100mb they grant me for nothing. It
was tricky to work this out because there didn't seem to be any
indication that the flv file hadn't uploaded.

HP MediaSmart Playback Error "There are some problems trying to play the music file ..." Why?

The error message pops up for all WAV files. All the same files play fine with other software. What is wrong with the HP software?

Winston, you CAN sync without transferring the files to the Apple TV HDD.
That's not correct, although I now understand you.
Select Custom sync and choose not to transfer files.
As I say I realise what you are saying, but it is your library database file that is synced, your music is streamed.
It has worked in the past for me and it still works now, I can see all the albums on the Apple TV in 'My Music' only when I go to play a file: silence. Both on the television and on the stereo.
Have you by any chance turned the volume down on the tv.
And yes, there is a reason to disable sound output via HDMI, because there is no use to have two audio streams outputting at the same time.
Sorry I don't follow your reasoning here. We don't use the DVD player in the car, I haven't considered disabling it though.

Actions not working to imported swf files in Flash Catalyst

Hi,
I have a problem with manipulating my imported swf files (created in Flash professional) in Flash Catalyst CS5. Whenever I add any of the swf control actions to a swf file in the timeline such as 'stop', the animation ignores it and keeps replaying. I tried to add action sequence when a certain button is pressed, and also tried to create 'On application Start' and added 'stop' so that the animation stops immediately when the application opens. No matter what I do, the animation refuses to perform the actions and simply replays. The animation is a simple shape tween between 2 states with no action script attached to it. I published the animation as an swf and exported it to Flash Catalyst. Is there any suggestions whatsoever on why this is happening? Is it something to do with setting up my flash file prior to import? The only way I figured out to stop the animation from playing is adding action script to the flash file in Flash Professional however this is not what I want because I would like the animation to be controlled by components in my flash Catalyst document.
Thanks

You can make you swf a custom component with 2 states.
The first state will be empty and rename it "OFF" the second state will have your swf file and name it ON.
Then go back to your artboard/project, add your 2 buttons ON & OFF.
For the ON button add interaction "play transition to custom component ON"
For the OFF button add interaction "play transition to custom component OFF"
Here is an example swf_control

appreciate that, but what we need to do is find out if its a problem with the import function or the files you are importing ... best way is to use the export xml function which we know shoud provide a compatible xml to test with the import xml function
