Problems using livetype files in FCP

hello,
i am working with a regular 48k timeline in FCP 4.0.
i have imported many rendered motion text files from livetype into my sequence.
what's peculiar is that once i render the text in my timeline, there seems to be a stutter of video everytime the text fades in and then again when it fades out...almost as if the video skips a frame....
any ideas of what this may be? looked at my livetype project settings and there doesnt seem to be an issue with that...i also tried nesting the tracks in FCP but to no avail...
thanks!
steve

..the files i am using as my source video and layering livetype on top of are quicktime files i exported from avid express pro hd....these were source QT files that i have not had a problem with in FCP...maybe livetype isnt liking it?
Well Steve you likely have a QT file made with the Avid Meridian codec. I'm not an Avid guy, but you might check with Avid to see if you can download a version that allows you to create QT files that OSX can use.

I am having problems using mov files imported into a project. I get the message "Not rendered" in the Canvas and clip won't play. Can anyone help?

When clips won't play without rendering in the Timeline, it usually means that the clip's specs don't match the Sequence settings.
A .mov file could be made from any number of codecs; the QuickTime Movie designation is merely a container for video files of all kinds. Since FCE only works with the QuickTime DV codec and the Apple Intermediate Codec (AIC) natively, if your mov files aren't one of those two, you need to convert them PRIOR to importing into your FCE project.

Problem: using Dynamic file naming in adapter

Hi
Wat i m doing is using dynamic file configuration as given in this link
/people/michal.krawczyk2/blog/2005/11/10/xi-the-same-filename-from-a-sender-to-a-receiver-file-adapter--sp14 and trying to get file name and content of the file.
I m getting file name in dynamic configuration in SXMB_MONI but payload is empty.Actually i have to pass this payload to BPM.

Subodh,
I understand that using the filename you would like to do the validations, but, am not able to get the entire flow, inclduing your BPM flow.
If you give us the entire interface flow, it would be helpful to understand the problem better.
Just a quick note : Try to do the mapping that gets the filename outside the BPM if you do not get this inside the BPM.
Have not tried this, but I have seen a few posts which found that the dynamic parametrs were not accesible inside the BPM.

Bhavesh

Problem using the File Dialog Box in a Client/Server application

I am developping a client-server application using Labview 5.1 . The application on the server acquires data from some instruments and saves it on file, while the application on the clients displayes such acquired data. For doing this I call some routines on the server via the "Open Application vi" (remote connection). All goes well except when I open on the server the "File Dialog Box vi" : in this case the application on the clients is blocked (is blocked the execution of the called vi on the server). Only when
the File Dialog Box on the server is closed, the execution of the called vi on the server starts again.
I need to use the File Dialog Box on the server, but I don' t want to stop at the same time
the clients !!
I need help for resolving such problem.
Many thanks in advance !!!

A call to the file dialog box will call a modal system dialog. So LV can't go on executing VIs in the user interface thread."
Are you sure? I think, that File Dialog, called by LabVIEW File Dialog from Advanced File Functions Palette doesn't blocking any cycles in subVI, which running in UI Thread. Look in my old example (that was prepared for other topic, but may be good for this topic too).
2 linus:
I think, you must a little bit reorganize you application for to do this. You must put your File Dialog into separated cycle. This cycle, of course, will be blocked when File Dialog appear on the screen. But other cy
cle, which responsible for visualization will run continuosly at the same time...

Using AVI files in FCP and the 3ivx codec

Hello there,
My video camera only films in .AVI files which the Mac cannot 'see' although the audio is fine. From my research it seems like the only codec available to allow you to 'see' the video on .AVI is the 3ivx codec which I downloaded before and which worked fine but then the trial ran out and left nasty watermarks all over my files which were a pain to get rid of. Is buying the codec the only thing to do? Has anyone bought the codec, so I know it's a safe website?
What I had been doing to avoid the codec was using iSquint to convert to mp4 and then using that file in editing software, then converting that to a youtube friendly file and then on to youtube itself, meaning that all the compression left the youtube video very very blurry.
Is the codec my only option?
Thanks for your help on this, it's driving me mental.

What camera only shoots 3ivx, Jenni?
And have you tried Perian yet? It will allow Quicktime to read 3ivx along with many other otherwise unsupported codecs. Suck it and see ... some users have issues with Perian installed, others get along with it just fine.
Converting to mp4 for editing is not recommended, nor is editing in 3ivx or any AVI wrapped codec for that matter. Convert it instead to a proper intraframe editing codec (such as good old fashioned DV) ... you can use the free MPEG Streamclip for this

Using .AVI files in FCP

Hi (this is my first posting),
I have hard drives (XP) full of AVI files that I must use in FCP. When I import them Final Cut says that these files "are not optimized for FCP" and should be recaptured or to use Media Manager to copy.
I'm new to FCP so when I copied in Media Manager - I don't know what happened. I was assuming I'd get a .MOV somewhere?
Do I need to get the original tape and re-capture on my Mac? The video doesn't look degraded and I produced a video ignoring this message with no problems. Now we're going to move to HD.
Is there a way to recapture an AVI from a hard drive, do I need to? What am I doing wrong (besides capturing to .AVI on XP system). Help .....
Dual G5 Mac OS X (10.4.9) Final Cut Studio

I'm having the same problem, with hours and hours of AVI files that I want to sort through and can't recapture. I am trying to use Media Manager -- I choose recompress, and pick my destination, but it only creates more AVI files, not MOV files, and I can't figure out why?
When I try to import these new AVI files into my project, I get the same optimization warning... what am I doing wrong? (using FCP 5.1.4)

Having Problems importing XML file from FCP 6 onto a FCP 5 application

I have a project file that i worked on FCP 6 and wanted to move to FCP 5 app. on a different Pro Mac but when i try to import the xml, it prompts me to "Please choose a Translation Document File". I choose the FCP 6 project file because i wasn't sure what to choose and i get the ERROR: No translation templates matching the selected XML file were found. Unable to import this file.
any ideas?

make sure you exported your XML from FCP6 using a compatible XML version (1, 2 or 3) ... version 3 would make the most sense as its the most recent FCP5 compatible version .... don't export using version 4 (the default for FCP6), that one is for transfering projects between different installations of FCP6 only

Testcase problem using two file adapter and a transformation

We've got an input which looks like this :

<row>
<id>10</id>
<naam>A</naam>
</row>
<row>

</row>

I've created an XSD for this message which looks like this ( straightforward ) :
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>

I've imported this XSD in my ESB project and created a file adapter which reads this type op files.
I've created another file adapter to write the files 1:1 to an output dir.
In the routingservice I've created a very straightforward XSL mapping which maps everything 1:1.
Now the problem
When I use this input :
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
<rows>
<row>
<id>10</id>
<naam>Martin</naam>
</row>
<row>
<id>20</id>
<naam>Edward</naam>
</row>
</rows>
my output result is:
<?xml version="1.0" ?><imp1:rows xmlns:imp1="http://www.test.nl/testschema"/>
I know this is a namespace issue. When I add the namespace
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
<rows xmlns="http://www.test.nl/testschema">
<row>
<id>10</id>
<naam>Martin</naam>
</row>
<row>
<id>20</id>
<naam>Edward</naam>
</row>
</rows>
I get the correct ( and 1:1 output ).
The problem is. In the scenario I'm about to build the input xml messages do not have an namespace. How can I alter my xsd file or anything within my ESB project that all files will be picked up correctly and processed without having an default namespace?
Any help is appreciated!

True,
But its the other way around what is causing my problem.
Because the input xml files contain no namespace at all the xml messages are transformed but result in an almost empty xml message. ( e.g. the root element is there and thats it ).
This is because the XML transformation mapper in ESB ( as well as BPEL ) excplicitly needs a namespace.
I solved it by editing the XSL by hand, removing the :imp1 namespace prefixes in the select="" tags. e.g.
<xsl:for-each select="/imp1:rows/imp1:row"> is updated in
<xsl:for-each select="/rows/row">
As far as I know this is the only workaround at the moment that I could find.

Problem using captivate file in a flash file

Hi,
I am using a captivate file inside a flashfile.
I am experiencing the following problem.
I have a button in a layer above the captivate file. But when
I click that button the button and the captivate file react.
How is this possible, and how can I resolve this?

I don't understand your question.
You 'click a button and the button and the captivate file
react'.
What does that mean?
A bit more clarity in exactly what is happening may help
diagnose the
problem (no promises!).

Problem using "UPLOAD FILE" behavior, in localhost Works fine, in my production server doesnt

Hi
I have been working with a form that uses a "upload file", in my localhost computer works very well BUT in my production server doesnt, the thing is that there is no error messager .. so i cant guess the problem, i already check permissions in my folder that contains the files and all is with Write permissions.
Can you help me pleasE??
thanks in advance

Most likely a permissions issue. Check your production server to see if both the IUSR_[Machine Name] and ASPNET users have read/write/delete permissions on 1. the folder you'll be uploading images to AND 2. the includes\common\lib\file_upload\temp folder (if this doesn't exist, create it manually).
These settings are necessary in order for the ADDT file upload server behavior to function properly.

Using FCE files with FCP?

Hello - does anyone know if I can open FC Express files in FC Pro, and vice versa (with appropriate "save as")? I'm not an experienced user of these programs, but I think I will be soon. My collaborator on a video project uses Final Cut Pro, but I want to be able to make some edits, and can only afford (and probably only need) Express. Will we be able to exchange files in any way?
iMac G5 2.1 ghz Mac OS X (10.4.1)

In most cases FCE will not open an FCP project, unless the project is very simple. FCP will open an FCE project, if the version is new enough. It depends which versions of FCE and FCP you're working with. Once the FCE project is opened in FCP and updated it will most likely no longer open in FCE.

Problems importing audio files in FCP 7.0.1

Has anyone else noticed FCP 7 being much more picky about audio files being imported? MP3s, WAVs & AIFFs that all play on my system or in Quicktime are not being recognized by FCP. The only pattern I can see to these files is they were not created on Macs and may lack certain metadata that FCP expects, but generally, I work under the assumption that if Quicktime can read a file, FCP can too - and that is proving not to be the case.

Thanks for the tip re: JPG v TIFF. And I've done a MP3 -> AIFF conversion now as well.
As it turned out, my problem was not a FCP preferences corruption, but was a matter of where the files came from...we were given a DVD with the still & audio files on them. When I copied those files from the DVD to our Server and then to the Raid hooked up to our Mac, the files would not import. If I went directly from the DVD to the raid, the files imported. Not sure how to make sense of that...but good to be aware of it, and hopefully if anyone else runs into this odd occurrence, this solves it for them...

Problem using excel file as odbc data source

I have the same issue. Does anyone know how to solve it?

Using .swf files in FCP

I need to access an swf file so that I can edit it in FCP. Is it possible to convert it to a Quicktime movie as I can't open it in its current format?
Trish

Ian:
You need to access to a computer (PC or Mac) with Flash app installed and export it as QT movie. It only works if the Flash animation is build frame by frame in Flash timeline; if the Flash animation uses action cripts the QT movie will not see those parts of the animation. You could need a thrid party software to do the conversion in that case.
Hope that helps !

Advice on using .m2ts files in FCP 6.0.6

Hi All,
A client just handed me a usb hard drive with a bunch of files transferred from a sony hdr-sr5. Each folder has a 3 files with .m2ts, .modd, and .moff extensions. I'm not sure how they did the transfer, but I'm guessing it wasn't with video editing in mind. I need to use the footage in a normal SD project to go on a DVD. I had originally thought that I could use the Log and Transfer window to bring the footage in, but trying to do that brings up an error dialog - something about incorrect format for the media...
I've seen some other posts about using mpegstreamclip, but everytime I open up the .m2ts files the program crashes right after it puts up the window of the video. I also saw posts about using Toast 9 to convert and I did a quick test and was able to convert one of the files. I selected DV/DVPRO and the export format and did get a usable file, obviously squeezed though.
So I guess my question is - is there a better way than using Toast to get this footage ingested in a format I can use? Or if Toast is the best method what settings should I use? When Toast opens up the .m2ts file it indicates that it is H.264/1440x1080 29.97fps.
I would appreciate any guidance anyone could provide.
Thanks,
Chris
