Problems with Batch Capture

I have a G5 Quad and Final Cut Studio (with FCP 5) and am running Leopard. Everything was running smoothly until about 2 months ago. I reinstalled Leopard ... from a clean install. I reinstalled FCP and everything worked well, EXCEPT. Now when I try a Batch Capture ... I set up 5 or 6 clips then tell FCP to capture all. It will rewind to the first clip ... the screen shows "go to cueing source material" ... less than a second of the clip shows, the screen then shows "go to cueing source material" ... then I get an error message - "dropped frames"
This is the same camera that I used before the install. I am hoping that this is just some "dumb" thing I forgot to click.
Any suggestions

Which camera? Also post the last time you had it serviced... if the heads get dirty or the tracking is off one whit, you'll get these error messages.

Online help with Batch Capture

I'm trying to online a sequence in a tapeless workflow. I'm using Log & Transfer along with Batch Capture but Batch Capture keeps looking for a deck. How do I get it to look for my Hi-Res digital files?

Yeah...that's the problem.
You directly imported it and worked with it natively? What is this footage? From what camera?
The only way to offline/online with tapeless is to bring in the footage via Log and Transfer. Log and Transfer to ProRes Proxy...then you can Batch Capture to a higher data rate ProRes format.

Are they custom EQ settings in iTunes on the computer?
Per:
https://discussions.apple.com/message/17383922#17383922
"Do the EQ settings from my iTunes library transfer to my iPhone when I sync it"
Yes.
" thus causing my iPhone to over process the data when I turn it's EQ on? "
No. If the EQ ison, the iPhone will use the EQ setting you assigned in iTunes. It will use only the preset EQ. If you have a custom setting or do not have an EQ setting, it will not be used and will use the setting on the iPhone.

Problem with Video capture Device

i have a problem with FME. i am using Avermedia TV capture
device and Canon 3ccd Digital Video Camcorder ( PAL ) when i open
the FME interface the warning given for " Problem with Video
Capture Device".
i read all the topics in Flash Media Encoder Category, if
this problem occures my capture device ( i expect MPEG ) how to
solve this problem?
Thanks,

The Device Matrix is something we'll be updating in the
future as we continue to test more and more equipement. Ideally, I
would like for users such as yourselves to be able to add to it and
tell us what has worked for you as well. If anyone has any ideas
about what technology we should use to do this (e.g., this forum? a
wiki?) please let me know.
Regarding the devices not working - the main problem we see
is that the system requirements are not being met. Here is what to
check for:
- are you running on Windows XP (only supported OS right
now)?
- do you have DirectX client runtime version 9c or higher
installed?
- do you have hardware acceleration enabled?
- do you have 32bit graphics enabled?
- do you have the latest direct show drivers from the
card/device manufacturer?

The second message that you are getting "The selected audio device "Beholder Aud Capture (SAA7135)" doesn't allow setting volume intensity. Disabling the volume slider control." is because your device does not let you change intensity of volume. This warning message is just to tell user that volume slider will remain disabled for the selecetd device. This is new addition in FMLE 3.0 and was not there in FMLE 2.5
Also for first message, please make sure that no other instance of FMLE is already running using this device. You can verify this from task manager. If any other instance of FMLE is running then please close that instance so that device gets free for new instance.

Problem with video capture device, with a virtual camera

I try to use Adobe Flash Media Live Encoder 3 with a virtual camera(DirectShow Filter) but met such a problem:

Problem with Video Capture, and question towards solution

Yesterday I worked on a commercial for which we captured 9 clips (roughly 10 seconds or shorter in length). The clips all had text/titles superimposed on them by an outside machine and looked good in the monitors when they were exported and captured into FCP (ie: none of the text was chopped off).
I edited the commercial and then was exporting it out, only to discover that the text on the bottom of the clips was getting chopped off.
My first question is this: is there some setting in the capture process that could have done this? something that might have gotten tweaked accidently, or corrupted in some manner? Didn't have this problem with footage captured the previous day. And since it looked good before it was put into FCP, thinking it had to be a problem with FCP.
Also, in trying to tweak the footage in FCP, I came across a 'there must be an easier way to do it' question. Is there a way to alter parameters on multiple clips (such as raising them, like I had to)? I tried selecting all and double clicking, hoping that the changes I made would affect them all, but it only affected the one I directly clicked. I'm sure there's something simple (and obvious) that I'm overlooking...
thanks!

For how and why this could have happened, would you mind sharing your capture and sequence settings?
As far as applying parameters to multiple clips, I think you can make use of the Paste Attributes function in FCP...
Alter one of your problematic clips
Select that clip in the Timeline, then press Command-C (or control-click and choose Copy from the contextual menu)
Select the remainder of your problematic clips
With your clips selected press Option-V (or control-click on one of them and select Paste Attributes from the contextual menu) to bring up the Paste Attributes dialog
Select Basic Motion - under the Video options, on your left-hand side - then click OK
(Basic Motion because, if I understand your solution correctly, you altered the Center property - either in the Motion tab of the Viewer or manually in the Canvas - of your clips. You nudged them all up a bit, right? If you did, then that would fall under the Basic Motion attribute.)
All your selected clips should be nudged up appropriately.
But, again, I'm making a bit of leap since I'm not entirely sure what caused your issue in the first place.

Help with Batch Capturing, Timecode Issues?

Hi Final Cut Pro Pro's. I've just come over from Avid.
I have a problem with capturing - I have a lot of tapes to capture and there is no way I will make deadline doing it by individual capture - I need to batch capture. My tape shows no timecode breaks and I have already spent hours logging all the various clips. It shows it has registered all of the media start/end timecodes, but when I click on batch capture, it says
BATCH CAPTURE: TIMECODE ERROR: UNABLE TO LOCATE THE SPECIFIED TIMECODE. YOU MAY HAVE SPECIFIED A TIMECODE WITH INSUFFICIENT ROOM FOR A PRE/POST ROLL OPERATION.
I don't understand as there is clearly a functioning timecode? This is going to break my balls if I have to go through this individually, no time! Anyone? Any ideas?
Thank you.

I'm capturing from the camera directly, a Sony DSR-250...
It turns out that yes, if you have marked the in/out point too close to the head or the tail of the tape, or even if you have marked it okay and are currently at the start/end of tape when pressing on batch capture it cannot send the command to the device. If you move forward or backward accordingly by five or six seconds it doesn't come up anymore.
Thanks for all the responses, I'm going to make deadline now. Apple forums are my hot hot S€X.

Troublw with Batch Capture

I am currently reimporting a sequence I originally edited in ProRes Proxy from AVCHD camera originals. I have made an off line copy of the sequence in media manager with 1 sec handles. When I batch capture the new sequence log and transfer finds all the correct original clips and begins the re-import process. I can watch the mov files being created in the scratch capture folder. After each mov file is created it is then mysteriously deleted when Log and Transfer moves on to the next clip. At the end of the process the final clip is automatically deleted from the folder leaving it empty. Manually importing clips from the same mounted volumes work correctly. This problem occurs no matter what the drive array I capture to and no matter what ProRes resolution I capture in. I am on FCP Ver.7. Anybody have any ideas how to remedy this situation. Thanks.

try capturing to your startup drive as a test. if that works, I would suspect a problem with the raid.

Problems with batch in fpc 5

I have a large project with many clips and sequences.
I dont want to batch everything right now.
Can i remove the funtion "add additional items found window" that shows up every time when youre about to batch something?
This function takes me about 2-3 minutes to just go thru all the items in my large project(140mb).
Mac OS X (10.3.9)

I must say, it's a bit difficult to understand your problem exactly if you don't give many details and it's also more inviting for someone to offer help.
Look, your project is wayyyy!!! too big. But, maybe it needs to be, who knows? Either way, I think your talking about "batch capturing" only select clips at a time. If so, create a seperate bin and drag only those inside of it. Make that bin your LOGGING BIN-control>set logging bin. The program will disregard other clips. I've done this myself on huge project.
If this is not what you're referring too, then refer to top of this post.

Problem with batch in outbound delivery

Hi gurues...I´m newby in SD and I have the followin problem.
I confirm an outbound delivery that need a batch, without the batch.
Obviously I can´t post goods receipt, but when i do the shipment,
it creates the bill but it don´t post goods receipt because it says that i need a batch in the position. How can i do to avoid that the shipment creates the billing without the batch??????.....

Jorge,
Here I am giving you more idea batch determination so that it will be more easy for you to correct the isue as you are new.
On batch determination, the whole process, how it is determined automatically in the order.
1) Normally we use batch determination at delivery level, because at the time of order material may or may not be created. For this material should be configured with batch and batch determination should be checked in sales views of material.
2) A2) Batch Determination during order Creation.
For this you need to maintain Classes d for you Material. Depending on the Manufacturing process you can define the characteristics for your material.
Ex: Purity for Medicines, Resistance for Electric Items.
You need to create a class (You might have to create a new class type) which incorporates the characteristic.
First Create the Characteristic Using Ct04 and then using Cl02 create the Class including this characteristic.
Then in your material master Classification View Enter this class.
Then Create a Batch for the particular plant and Stor Loc using MSC1N.Give the value of the characteristics in this batch.
Then go to SPRO ->Logistics General ->Batch Management and maintain the Condition Technique (Procedure, Strategy Types and assignment to sales docs etc).
Then Create the Batch Determination Record using VCH1.

Problem with image capture

I am having a weird issue with Image capture. When I connect my digital camera, my computer does not always recognize that there is a digital camera being attached, so I can not get the camera to mount and get the pictures of the camera.
It is not a cable issue. The camera mounts instantly when I use a Win 2000 machine that I have at work using the same cable. I have tried to reformat the SD card several times.
I have OS 10.4.8 on a 17 inch iMac Rev B). I have iPhoto v 5.0.4. This used to work very well initially, and has steadily gotten worse.
Any tips? Thanks
17 iMac Rev B Mac OS X (10.4.1)

Hi, Romulo.
1. What make/model of camera? Is it listed on the Mac OS X Digital Camera Support page?
2. Since you've mentioned Image Capture, I presume you do not mean iPhoto, i.e. you expect the Image Capture application (located in the Macintosh HD > Applications folder) to launch when you connect the camera. Is the camera recognized in iPhoto?
3. Try connecting the camera to a different USB port on your Mac. If you're connecting the camera to a USB hub (and your keyboard is a USB hub), try connecting the camera to a USB port directly on your Mac.
4. Is the camera battery fully charged, or is the camera powered via an AC power supply when you connect it to the Mac?
5. Try deleting the Image Capture preferences. There are at least four preferences files associated with Image Capture:• The file com.apple.ImageCaptureApp.plist in your Home > Library > Preferences folder.
• In your Home > Library > Preferences > ByHost folder, the files:• com.apple.ImageCapture2.xxx.plist
• com.apple.ImageCaptureExtension2.xxx.plist
• com.apple.ImageCaptureCamera.xxx.plist
where xxx is an alphanumeric string.6. You indicated the problem is intermittent: are you using certain other USB peripherals when the problem occurs vs. when it does not?
7. Immediately after the problem occurs, check the ends of these Console logs for clues. Clues might include messages related to Image Capture or USB at the time the problem occurs.
Good luck!

Problem with Image Capture Download Folders

Hi there - I was wondering if anyone might be able to help with a problem I'm having with Image Capture (version 3.0.3 (333))?
I use image capture to download photos from my digital camera and normally have no problems.
When I tried to do some downloads this morning, my normal list of folders in the "Download to" drop-down box is completely blank. It didn't even have the "Other" option to chose a folder. The Automatic Task drop down was also blank, I could not open preferences and in the "options" box, the ColourSync profile would not load anything.
I could not download the photos to anywhere - when I tried to "download some" it gave me an error message saying that I need to choose a download folder, but of course I am unable to do this.
This morning I tried repairing permissions in disk utilities, and removing the com.apple.imagecaptureapplist file and rebooting as suggested here:
http://discussions.apple.com/thread.jspa?messageID=10368631&#10368631
but that hasn't worked completely. I can now download the photos but they just automatically go to the "Pictures". At least I can download them now, but if I can get the two drop down boxes working again, and the other things working (preferences etc), that would be great.
One other thing, about a month ago I foolishly tried to rename my Home Folder without doing it the proper way. I had thought I had gotten everything back to normal with my library etc, but maybe there are a few unknown implications still out there, and this is one of them as I don't think I have tried to download any photos since then.
Your help is greatly appreciated!
Thanks,
Antony

Hi and thanks again
OK:
1. I found the photo and have put it back as the login page icon as close as I could to what it used to look like..
2. I trashed the user's .com.apple.systempreference file but it didn't work.
3. I then copied my .com.apple.systempreference file to their library>preferences folder but no luck.
4. Finally, I noticed the other user account had no system preferences file in their "Applications" folder. So I copied the system preferences file from my application folder across and used that to open system preferences, and that has seemed to fix it, ie. system preferences now opens directly from the apple menu.
So I am noticing a few things now:
5. The other user's "Applications" folder doesn't have many applications in it. It only has:
- Utilities
- Adobe Version Cue CS2
- Real Player
- iTunes (which was only downloaded there recently - post Home Folder name change I think)
- Imagecapture which I copied there yesterday
- and now System preferences
6. This is compared to my user account applications folder which has loads of other files in it, eg. Preview, Stuffit Expander, iDVD, iChat, Calculator, Chess, Skype, etc etc etc. I just can't remember if this was the case before the Home Folder rename.
7. Now, my user account used to be the only admin account, so it makes sense that my "Applications Folder" has more in it because programs could only have been downloaded there for a long time. The other person's user account has only been an admin account much more recently - say in the last year and very few applications (if any) would have been downloaded there.
8. Interestingly, while the other user account doesn't have the Skype or Preview file in their "Applications" folder, it does appear in their bar along the bottom of the screen that has the dashboard and finder icons (is this called the dock?).
9. Anyway, if you are in the other user's account and you click on Skype, iCal, Word or Preview in their Dock for example, those programs open no problem so the dock icons must somehow have survived the Home Folder renaming and stayed linked to the corresponding files in my "Applications" folder? But some other programs, eg. system preferences, image capture etc didn't survive it and became "delinked".
10. I also notice internetconnect still works in the other user account, even though there is no internetconnect file in that user's "Applications" folder.
11. So it seems that some links between the other user and my account have been severed, and some have survived.
Some other information:
12. Everything that was on the other user's desktop appears to have been recovered since the Home Folder debacle (I think getting the Library back helped this?), and I managed to redo the desktop picture/wallpaper.
13. I'm not sure if it is relevant, but in my account, Finder has a side bar on the left that is divided into an upper section and a lower section. The lower section has my home folder, a documents folder, a desktop folder, a pictures folder etc. On the upper section it has the macintosh disk icon, and also a Network Icon (that contains a library file and another file which I can't remember just now but can let you know if that helps). The other user account does not have the Network icon however. Do you think this might make a difference?
14. In addition to the other user account there is also a guest account on this computer which has suffered the same problems, eg. not being able to open imagecapture or systempreferences. However, when I fixed the problems in the other user account by copying over the imagecapture and system preferences files from my account to the other user account, the problems in the guest account were automatically fixed!
15. So it seems the guest login is somehow linked to the fixes in the other user account, but the other user account and the guest account are suffering some problems with links to my user account. Perhaps the latter was badly broken with the Home Folder rename incident?
16. Finally, if you go into Finder while in the other user's account, you can navigate to the applications folder in my account and access all the applications there, ie. Macintosh HD>Users>MyHomeFolderName>Applications. My applications folder is not blocked like some of the other ones, eg. Library, Desktop, Pictures etc.
17. Is there someway to re-establish the link between the other user account and my application's folder? I don't want to copy all the applications across even if I can do that, because it just takes up more space on the HD, but if that is all that can be done, then I will consider doing it...
Thanks again BDAqua!

Problem with change capture

HI,
we've a problem with the Change Capture in the DAC's Execution Plan.
We've cretead a new data model but we want to reuse the image table and the Change Capture process, so we've perfomed the following step:
1) create the mapping SDE e SIL for the new tables of datamodel in Informatica Power Center
2) register these mapping in the DAC
3) create a subject areas and associate these tasks to this
4) create execution plan including "change capture" and "change capture sync"
5) execute our "execution plan"
the problem is the following:
from the Execute -> Current Run Tab -> task
we can see that execution time of change capture is 0
from the Execute -> Current Run Tab -> task details
there aren't any change capture details
So, our image table are empty.
Do you have any idea?
Thanks in advance,
Antonello.

HI Antonello,
I am also having the same issue like you. I have created a new execution plan in DAC 101341 and ran it. It seems like the task Change Capture For Siebel OLTP completed in 0 seconds and there are no details for that particular task. Can you please let me know if you have resolved this issue? Your help is much appreciated.
Thanks
Ravi
