Problems with rendering a 16:9 project with Chapter markers to iDVD

Hi there
I'm having an issue where I'm trying to export a DVD for a client with chapter markers as it's required. Problem is when I put the project into iDVD the project squishes back to 4:3 ratio.
One solution that was on here was to use the Quicktime Conversion to create a 16:9 video however when I use Quicktime conversion I lose the chapter markers
I need to have both 16:9 ratio and Chapter Markers in the DVD how do I overcome this problem?

Anamorphicizer didn't work.
I can use Quicktime Pro cause I currently have Quicktime X on my computer (snow leopard) which doesn't have a Pro upgrade.
Any myDVDedit is really confusing to use do I have to export the DVD into a VIDEO_TS file to fix it? I'm still puzzled

Exporting QT with Chapter markers for iDVD

When I export a QT with Chapter markers for iDVD I get one movie file then a number of "AV" files - what are these and what do I do with them?
workflow as follows:
1.Place chapter markers in timeline using mm the Add Chapter Markers
2. set in/out points in timeline
3. export quicktime movie
4. select include Chapter Markers and include audio/video
5. do NOT select recompress all frames
6. DO select make self contained movie.
7. Open exported movie file in Quicktime and chapter markers are present
8. import ONLY the movie file to iDVD (NOT the AV files?) and answer yes to read all chapter markers
9. burn seems to work fine but when I playback on DVD player there is digital stuttering in the picture
Any ideas on how to remedy the problem?
thanks in advance
patrick

The project is only 75 minutes. Do think it is the codec that iDVD is using that is causing the stutter. I assumed that it always encodes using MPG2.
Any idea what the AV files are?
When I export as an uncompressed DV stream the file is 15 GB.
When I export as uncompressed QT I get one file (movie) at 2.5 GB then
5 more "AV" files that are each 2.5 as well. So when I import the movie file without the AV files am I missing something?
Should I look into DVD Studio Pro? I have version 1.5 but I am fairly unfamiliar with it.

Burning movies with chapter markers crash iDVD in snow leopard

Hi Everyone-
When attempting to burn movies that have had chapter markers added in iDVD, my machine will crash during rendering. Removing chapters fixes the problem, but I would like to use that functionality. I've tried the usual fixes (delete plist files, permissions repair, re-install iDVD, re-install snow leopard) with no luck.
Any advice out there?
Thanks

Hi
*Not knowing the origin to Your problem - General approach when in trouble is as follows.*
• Delete iDVD pref file - *or rather start a new user/account* - log into this and re-try
iDVD pref file resides.
Mac Hard Disk (start-up HD)/Users/"Your account"/Library/Preferences
and is named. com.apple.iDVD.plist
While iDVD is NOT RUNNING - move this file out to desk-top.
Now restart iDVD.
• Free space on internal (start-up) hard disk if it is less than 10Gb should rather have 25Gb
• Hard disk is untidy. Repair Permissions, Repair Hard disk (Apple Disc Util tool)
• Program miss-match. iDVD 5.0.2, Mac OS X.4.11 AND QuickTime 7.5.5 - is OK - DON’T work under Leopard
• Program miss-match. iDVD 6.0.4, Mac OS X.4.11 AND QuickTime 7.5.5 - is OK (might work under Leopard)
• Program miss-match. iDVD’08 v. 7.0.1, Mac OS X.4.11 AND QuickTime 7.5.5 - is OK (might work under Leopard)
• iDVD (08) v7 Locate theme folder. Move out iDVD1, iDVD 2 and eventually iDVD4 folders to desktop - re-try
• Try a Cleaning CD/DVD that cleans the laser lens on the DVD burner/player
iDVD 6.0.4 and iDVD 7.0.1 are compatible with Mac OS X 10.5 Leopard
Last resort. from Craig. Solved the problem!! Finally!!
I deleted every iDVD application and folder from my boot drive,
emptied the trash and then installed iDVD 08 using the customize option
and I am up and running.
If You do a re-install be sure to get rid of all iDVD old parts AND then EMPTY the Trash-basket !
iDVD updated ?
Apple Codec updated ?
Start a New Clean project - or delete project assets
No of Colors - must be set to millions
Yours Bengt W

Exporting 16:9 with chapter markers to idvd

I have been triyng to export a video in 16:9 with chapter markers but when opened with idvd I can only get either the format or the chapters by using two diferent procedures. Is there any way I can have it in the right format and with the chapter markers? If not, is there any other program, lets say dvd studio pro, that can do it. How should I export them?
Thank you all for your help.

Hi
Got problem with Chapters too - It was my own fault.
A. Must Use Chapter Marks - not just only Marks
B. Must NOT - fiddle with the text in this box set - I thought me to be clever by renaming as I wanted them to be - Result = No Chapter Marks.
Do the re-naming in iDVD - here it's OK and works.
C. The export over to iDVD Export as
• EXPORT With Chapter Marks
• Not self-containing - not important but saves Time and Space
• QuickTime movie - NO QUICKTIME CONVERSION - AT ALL ! !
D. This file I import (drop) into a BRAND NEW iDVD Project - Never go back to update as this set's off the iDVD BUG. If error in movie found and need of change - THEN Start a Brand New iDVD project and all will be well.
(E. Never let iDVD convert from NTCS to PAL or other way around and not feed it 24fps video - as result will be BAD) - If of need - Please come back for instr. on how.
Yours Bengt W

Problem exporting Premiere Pro CS5.5 projects with still photos and h264 video

I'm a longtime Final Cut Pro user and evaluating Premiere Pro for my workplace before making the switch. I have been running into several problems when I try to export raw h264 video from a Canon 5D combined with still images on a Macbook Pro. Either I receive an error in Premiere Pro saying, "Error compiling movie. Unknown error." or Adobe Media Encoder appears to continue exporting (the time elapsed bar continues to move) even though the time remaining stays frozen once it hits a photo it doesn't like. It's not always the same photo.
I've spent several days trying to troubleshoot the issue, including batch resizing all photos to 1920 wide (to match the video settings), and it hasn't work. The sequence is currently set to render in ProRes 422. I've also tried HDV 1080p30 and MPEG-4. I cannot find any consistency with the errors. Occasionally an export will work, but every couple still photos will look like green static. I've also tried batch converting the photos in Photoshop to PNG and GIF without any luck. I'd include my default export settings but I've pretty much tried it all. I'm just trying to figure out what's causing the error since the message is very vague.
Couple other notes:
There's plenty hard drive space available for export
I can export the DSLR video (h264, 1080p30) without still photos no problem
I can edit the same still photos and video in Final Cut with no problem
I have the same problem with auto-save on and off
I tried re-installing production premium, deleting the preference files and cleaning the media cache - no luck. I also tried exporting under a different user account and it wouldn't work.
This is driving absolutely crazy. I'm affraid to use PP on deadline because I don't see any issues until it's time to export. Any ideas would be greatly appreciated. Thanks!
- McKenna

Thanks Todd. Your questions were actually very helpful. I'm using a Macbook Pro with an Intel Core i7 processor and NVIDIA GeForce GT 330M graphics card. I'm running OS 10.6.8 and have the latest updates installed.
When I disabled the GPU acceleration, I was able to render and export without a problem. The problem only occured when using the GPU acceleration and mixing h264 with still photos. It also affected both rendered previews and the final export. I'm assuming its a support issue with the graphics cards, but it would be great if you had any other ideas. I appreciate your help.

Problems with using old web service project with new WLS/OEPE install

I developed a java web service two years ago using WLS 10.3.3 and OEPE. After development I checked the workspace into Subversion including the .metadata directory. The web service was deployed to a production WLS box and is running fine.
Now I have a new Windows 7 desktop computer. I have installed WLS 10.3.3 and OEPE on my new desktop and am trying to get the web service I wrote two years ago to run locally. When OEPE launches I point the workspace to the workspace project directory (from two yrs ago) that I have just checked out from Subversion. However when the OEPE IDE comes up I have many errors in the java code. Pretty much every java class is flagged with a "cannot be resolved to a type" error.
Also, when I try to create a new server and domain, I have a problem there. I select "Oracle WebLogic Server 11gR1 PatchSet 2" as the server type, click Next on the wizard, but then on the next window where you select the Domain, the Domain Directory is disabled and will not let me enter a value, and the link to allow you to create a new Domian is not visible.
Feeling kind of stupid as this should be really simple to do. Am I proceeding correctly by saving off the entire workspace and then trying to use that workspace in the new WLS/OEPE install? Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Have you tried creating a new workspace, then import the project from your subversion workspace?

Reuse Model Project - Problems in the integration of 2 projects with ADF

Hi there.
We have in production one application with ADF and UIX of average composed dimension for 9 placed services inside of one root to share cache. At this moment we are to develop another application, much more simple, to join with the first one. The problem that we have, is the synchronization of caches. Therefore for example, let us assume in the first application we insert a record in the table of employees, in the second application we do not obtain to see this employe while we do it execute query.
Anyone can explain to us some way of different applications share cache of model in some way, or to make synchronization of caches between them, or other soluction ...
Thanks in advance.
http://www.meitner.pt

Sounds pretty difficult, the whole cache thing has been brought up so many times. You havfe this problem even when one user tries to view the changes of another user. The short answer is you just have to be smart about when to clear cache/reexecute query. If your page has a common entry point do it there, otherwise simply put a refresh button on the page that will do it. I think people get too wound up on caches, unless your app is under some serious load, clearing the cache quite often is not going to hurt anything, after all you do have the database doing caching on it's end too.

Project with profit center was not created for entire period

Hi everybody,
I need a help with a problem here.
The alert mesage "project with profit center was not created for entire period" was displayed.
Then I searched for the creation dates and the profit center was created before the project gets its firsts postings. Therefore, some line itens don't exist in profit center (ledgers).
My two questions:
The first one, is it possible to input line itens in a retroactive way?
Everytime I need to use the project master data this alert is displayed. How can I fix avoid this message?
Thanks,

Hi,
Regarding your issue, it is theoretically possible to reverse all settlements up to the start of the project and then to settle again it
is a must to check in standard if the profit center is valid from the project start date onwards.
Check the attached note 1048945.
The system generates error message KM700 ('Profit center <PRCTR> does not exist for <date>') when you enter a profit center on a project definition if the profit center is not valid in the entire period between the basic start and the basic finish date of the project definition . However, only one warning message should only be generated in this case.

Waman

Replace existing footage with new footage, while keeping chapter markers ?

I have prepared my DVD with menus and chapter markers etc ready for burn.
I just noticed that my edit is wrong. Is their a way to replace exiting edit with the new one ? while maintaining chapter markers ?
Thanks in advance.

Replacing content like that almost always results in problems trying to encode/multiplex the project. You need to start a new project and reinsert your chapter marks. Sorry.

Problem with rendering my project

Hello,
today I tried to render my latest project in Premiere Pro CS6 to upload it to youtube. With an estimated file size of ~2 Gigabytes I started the rendering process and waited for it to finish (about 50 minutes).
After it had finished with rendering I checked the file and what I saw was a 35 Megabytes file with the worst video quality one can even imagine. What is wrong with my premiere pro -.-
I've put many time and effort in my project and now it doesn't render properly. The interesting thing is that the preview in the full resolution inside my premiere pro application looks way better than the rendering result. WTF!?
Later I tried the option "render workspace" which took just about the same time (about 50 minutes) and brought me 7 rendered video previews... summed up 40 Gigabytes.
I am like kinda mad and sad at the same time and really can't figure out what is wrong. Please help me.
Here are my Output settings:
H.264 codec
1920 * 1080
29,97 FPS
high profile and 5.1
Bitrate: I tried everything from 8 to 100 (output always about ~40 Megabytes)
maximum depth
and maximum render quality
Please mention it if you need more information about this as I will be happy to provide detailed information and excuse my bad english, it isn't my mother tongue.

Yeah, but as you could may imagine i watched the render result
I could just go ahead and render it in 240p same result... Its way off in points of quality even compared to the preview on the top right
I mean I am not using premiere pro for the first time and this is the first time that i have to encounter this kind of problem. maybe I should try to render some of my old projects to see if they too result in 45 Mb ****** videos.
Someone help me

Problems rendering Every-line Composer texts with Adobe Media Encoder

I find the text paragraph setting "Adobe Every-line Composer" a huge time saver when dealing with large amounts of text in after effects. I rarely have to do any manual tracking or line breaks to make it look good, as opposed to working with the standard Single-line Composer.
The problem is that when I render through Adobe Media Encoder (which I'm forced to do since they removed H264-mp4 support from AE:s internal renderer) the text is treated like single-line composed text. So the final render doesn't look like my AE project.
I've found two solutions to this problem:
1. Render a lossless video file in the AE renderer and then compress it with Media Encoder. This takes more time and HDD space, and it doesn't allow me to continue working in AE while rendering.
2. Only use Single-line composed text and make all adjustments manually, the old school way. This would not be a problem if I had not already used, and fallen in love with, the Every-line option.
Is there anyone that can think of a third, and preferably better, solution?
I use the CC 2014 versions of AE and AMC.

No, the text doesn't animate at all. It's just a normal static text box. The text part is extremely simple. All animations are done in other layers and pre-comps, combined with pre-rendered 3D graphics from Cinema 4D, rendered as image sequences. My problem is a bug, plain and simple. Or perhaps you could call it a "lack of feature support" or an "incompatibility between AE and Adobe Media Encoder".
My problem appears only when my AE project has text boxes with the "Every-line Composer" option enabled (press the menu button in the Paragraph window to find it), AND the project is rendered through Adobe Media Encoder, no matter which output format I use. I have no problems what so ever inside of after effects, or when rendering Single-line Composer text in AMC.
So, the problem is that Media Encoder doesn't recognize Every-line composed text. Instead it changes it to Single-line composed text, messing up text tracking and line breaks.
To clarify: the Adobe Every-line Composer is analyzing the entire text box instead of only the current line. That way it can automatically change the tracking of individual lines to better distribute the line breaks and build a better whole, avoiding those stray words on the last line for example. Extremely handy, if you could only render it.
I never wrote anything about animating text or that the codec is related to the text problems in any way. AMC is the problem. The codec is only a secondary problem since its the lack of mp4 H264 support that forces me to use Media Encoder in the first place, instead of using the AE render queue as I did in previous versions of AE. I like many things about rendering through AMC, like being able to continue working in AE while rendering, but there are still way too many glitches. And of course, there's the inability to render flv-files in AMC CC 2014, and Adobe's inability to provide a solution other than "Use an older version of AMC". Flv is their own damn format for christ's sake.
Well, enough rambling.
To put it simple:
Has anyone had a problem with "Every-line Composer" in combination with Adobe Media Encoder? Did you find a solution other than the two less-than-perfect ones in my first message?
Thanks!

Problem with rendering RGB with alpha

I have AE 6.5. I suddenly began having .AVI's with alpha channel rendering with a flickering background with numerous flashing colors.
I did system restore, reinstalled 6.5 with no help.
No new programs, not hooked to internet, using 2 gigs RAM with AMD athalon FX 53,Nvidia GeForce FX 5500.
I tried several different projects which have previously worked and they do the same thing.
Rendering as Video for Windows with no compression. RGB + Alpha
Rendering with just RGB doesn't have the flickering, etc.
Preview set to "off" in comp window.
Any help would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks in advance.
John Rich

> I have AE 6.5. I suddenly began having .AVI's with alpha channel rendering with a flickering background with numerous flashing colors.
But when you composite these lcips I'll bet the alpha content is not really there.
We used to have this problem with the Media 100 hardware codec when rendering form After Effects. The alpha channel was full of the creepiest stuff, frame buffers motion blur and effects from other compsand it was really there. Playing the clip back in Media 100 or in QT showed the alpha channel's bizarre content.
However, if you turned off RGB and viewed alpha only, the stuff was gone, absolutely transparent. If you dropped the clip into a timeline, the alpha behaved normally.
We never did figure it out, just lived with it.

Problems with rendering quality in Premiere Elements 9

Hello, I've made a few videos with PE 9 now, and I get very poor quality rendering despite trying several different settings. I saw on a help thread earlier that I needed to try changing to HD when creating the new file from the beginning. I did that, but it only made my PE 9 run more slowly, and the rendering quality was not improved. I also read somewhere that using .MOV files as a source can cause problems with rendering; is that true? I hope not! I use a Lumix bridge camera for my videos, and the video quality is very good. And when I'm working with these videos within PE 9 the quality is great. It's only when exporting to various file types that the quality suddenly becomes poor. For the most part I have made compilation videos of gymnasts, and when their legs move they are often so lined or pixelated that they become invisible. Here is an example of a short gym video I made yesterday: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-0s7tUBcSZk. The last girl jumping gives the best example of this invisible leg problem.
You can see the original source films here: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=zmUMi9oN8dQ
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=OEzcJZjhxiI
and http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=I53twqPQMV4
The sequences I took in my compilation video start at about 20 seconds in the source videos.
Youtube does reduce the quality of the videos slightly, but in any case you can definitely see a difference in quality between the source videos and the PE 9 rendered compilation video.
I'm quite disappointed because I made a longer compilation video set to music (which was a lot of work), and it looks so much nicer on PE 9 than on any of the rendered formats, but of course I can't share the PE 9 version!
Thanks very much for your help.
Chleste

Thanks Steve. I'm not sure what resolution I'm shooting in, actually. However, the thing is that when I make these compilations, I like to go back to source videos I've made in the past sometimes. Sometimes these videos come from a Canon camera, and sometimes they even come from my Samsung mobile telephone. I like being able to creatively combine historic moments, and these moments might have been recorded without any intention at the time of making a compilation video. Is it not possible to combine several kinds of video sources?
I'm uploading an example of a compilation with mixed source videos from various kinds of cameras. It's 710 Megs so it will take a while, but when it's finished you will be able to see it at http://youtu.be/CslpULRe4LU.
I opened up the file for the compilation of the four girls on the beam (video posted in original message), and I do indeed see those red lines in the timeline. Is there anything I can do now about that, or do I have to start the project all over?
I'm confused about the processor requirements. Even if I can see my video perfectly in PE 9, the actual export process will be affected if my system is not up to par? If so, that's a bit disappointing! I'm not sure what my processor details are, but I will find out and let you know.
Many thanks.

Having problems with rendering clipls

I am new to Premier elements, and am having problems with my clips needing frequent rendering. Clips that have been rendered go from green (line) to red when a transition is added or if it is trimmed and must be rendered again. Also rendering seems to take a very long time, sometimes going fast, sometimes going a frame per second or slower. One possible problem is that I am mixing clips from two different cameras, one a HD and the other a standard def camera. I don't know if this is a factor or not.

If your clips are initially importing with a red line your project preset may be wrong - what preset are you using?
After applying transitions or effects it is normal for those segments to go red line.
It doesn't help to use two different types of video in one project. What is your final output intent - DVD or BluRay? If DVD then it would be better to convert your HD material to DV-AVI. See the Gspot link below - analyse both types of clip you are using and post the screen images here.
Some basics:
Install all Windows Updates.
Install latest version of Apple QuickTime (v7.6.7 at time of writing). Even if you don't use QuickTime, PRE relies heavily on it.
Install most recent graphics and sound drivers from the manufacturers web sites.
Run Disk Cleanup.
Run Defragmenter.
Temporarily disable any anti-virus realtime scanning.
Use the GSpot Codec Information Utility to analyse the file and post screen image.
Post back here with the necessary information described here: Got a Problem? How to Get Started

Neale
