Project settings, Selected Libraries

I'm new to JDeveloper and I think I just inadvertently deleted my default setting of the Selected Libraries. Can someone tell me what it was referencing?
Also, if I define a new J2SE version, how do I un-define it later if choose not to use that version anymore?
thanks everyone.
ld

I think I figured it out.

NullPointerException when showing libraries page in JDev project settings

I'm running 10.1.3.0.4 on Windows and also Linux. Both systems are referencing the same external libraries, which are defined with relative paths to avoid naming convention problems across systems. This has been fine for at least 3 years until recently when some developers started using 10.1.3.x (as opposed to 10.1.2) on a number of machines the following occurs.
When double-clicking on the project to open the project settings page and then selecting "Libraries" i'm getting the following exception in a popup window.

It's always a problem now on linux machines and some windows versions.

I eventually fixed this by removing the following block from all the affected project files (.jpr)
<hash n="internalDefinitions">
<list n="jdkDefinitions"/>
<list n="libraryDefinitions"/>
</hash>
<hash n="jdkReference">
<value n="id" v="1.4.2_04"/>
<value n="isJDK" v="true"/>

How to select new motion 5 project settings

When I choose project settings, it only gives me for 1920 "Broadcast TV" at 59.94fps, but how to create 1920x1080p at 23.98fps?

From the Preset pop-up in the Project browser, select custom at the bottom of the list. This will allow you to manually enter custom settings and change the default frame rate. You can also go into the preferences for Motion and there is a Preset tab. You can use this to create any custom preset you want.

Batch capture settings do not match project settings

Batch capture audio settings do not conform to project settings-
PROJECT SETTINGS ON CREATION OF NEW PROJECT:
For editing with IEEE1394 (FireWire/i.LINK) DV equipment.
Standard NTSC video (4:3 interlaced).
48kHz (16 bit) audio.
Drop-Frame Timecode numbering.

Please note audio setting for project 48kHz (16 bit) audio.
When I set for batch capture by creating off-line clips using the "Log Clip" option the off-line clip shows audio as
32KHZ 16-bit everyting else is correct as project settings.
Just prior to creating the off-line batch capture clip I had sucessfully captured from the same device using the same tape shot with the above settings including 48khz 16-bit audio by using standard " Capture" by setting in & out then clicking Capture>In/Out.
I've looked at capture settings etc...unable to determine to change audio settings etc or why the audio settings under batch capture do not conform to project settings...
Any ideas?
Tnx,
mick

Thanks for your reply, Harm....
Well now...having negated all the possibilities you listed, I decided to do a an actual batch capture with clips which I previously logged which reported audio at 32kHz instead of the project setting of 48kHz:
1. two clips were selected from the same device/tape ( both selected from the logging util which erroneously reported audio at 32kHz) for the batch
2. both clips captured "flawlessly"
3. both clips after the batch capture then reported audio as being 48kHz
Btw, I also did a batch capture from the same device/tape in Pr 6.x...and it reported and captured at 48khz...I must say, I must prefer the legacy version of Pr 6 for batch capture which creates a log .pbl file which can then be easily exported as a csv to and .xls etc..IMO, much more useful...and useable..

So it would appear there is some kind of bug in the Pr cs4 batch capture util that is erroneously reporting audio settings?
Should this go to the devel as a possible bug?
Tnx,

Project Settings vs. Encoding and Encore Resolution for BR

I am editing HDV footage from a Canon HV20. When I setup my project in Pr Pro I used the recommended
default HDV project settings. Hopefully these are correct. I will be burning a Blu-Ray disc for the project.
I assume like other products I have used, the best answer here is the native resolution of your source which hopefully is what I am getting.
Now when I render it via media encoder, it asks me for the "frame size"/resolution for the Blu-Ray disc output.
Also when opening a new project in Encore, it asks for similar information. I am in NTSC land.
I am familiar with the HD standard and resolutions, and the end result of this project is a Blu-Ray disc played on HDTV's.
However what is the best media encoder resolutoin and encore "frame size" settings for a Blu-Ray disc with an HDV source?
I saw several articles and videos from Adobe about these settings and they explain what they are, but not what the recommended selections are.
As a sidenote, once you are working on a project in PP can you change the settings/resolution of the project?
Thanks,
BJBBJB1
PS...Did not know which forum to post this in as it straddles all 3 products!!

First, thanks to both of you for your help! Hmmm, I am sure the confusion is on my end....
Both of you recommend H.264 vs. MPEG 2 for encoding. If I am rendering a 1 hour 20 minute Blu-ray, for burning Blu-Rays that I need to paly on a white variety of standalone players, what is the better choice and whay? I was planning on burning to single layer Blu-Ray at best quality. I am also using 5.1 audio.
For the encoder, I was going to use "HDTV 1080i 29.97 High Quality" as my rendering preset with MPEG2.
However now I am wondering if I should be using H.264? Harm, you mention it and you also mention "square pixels". I am familiar with this concept due to my photography work and slide shows vs. video, but where is this "square pixel" setting in the media encoder??
Anna, I appreciate your comment regarding keeping it simple, however, although I am far from a PPro expert, I definitely am into Home Video and understand quality and resolutions, etc., so I want to get the best quality even if I have to do a little work.. So I'll get there. I see that clicking on that menu item allows you to choose maximum render quality. I have plenty of RAM but since I am not going SD to HD or SD to HD, perhaps it won't matter much. However I am confused by the resolution you are showing there, 1440x1080?
As far as my initial question regarding how to setup my encore project, I may have answered it myself by playing around with the media encoder box. I opened up the drop down advanced section and I see it presents the frame dimensions there. I would assume I would use the exact same frame dimensions in Encore when setting up my project.
So I guess at this point my only decisions are:
1) What codec should I use when exporting from PPro? h.264 or MPEG-2. If it matters, I am using 5.1 audio also. (thanks for all your help with that Harm months ago, it works great!).
2) What resolution to use in media encoder?
3) How do I set square pixels?
4) Once exported, in Encore, is my assumption correct that I will just use the same resolution as exported from P Pro.
Perhaps that is what Anna was recommending, keep the same resolution and then let Encore render to 1920X1080 however I would want to get all my rendering out of the way during the export process and just keep it all the same in Encore if that is a good workflow.
Thanks again for all the help!

I film with an iPhone and edit in PE10, what project settings would be best?

     So I'm filming a short film with my iPhone 4S, and editing in PE10. The recommended project setting for the iPhone 4S's footage is 'Flip Mino HD and Ultra HD 29_97'. However, I film using an App called FilmicPro, which allows me to customize frames per second, resolution and audio capture with some settings. In my case, I've set the app to film at 30fps and with a resolution of 1920x1080. I still use the above mentioned project setting. So my first question is:
-If I'm filming in 1080x190 at 30fps, is there a different setting I should be using for the project?
     Now for the second part. The first part of my editing process is I start a project, select 'Flip Mino HD and Ultra HD 29_97', then I splice and string together the raw footage from FilmicPro like normal. Next I export the project with the settings:
Quicktime (For email and playback on Mac)
Output: 1920x1080, 29_97fps, Progressive, Quality 100 48000hz, Mono, H.264
Source: Clip, Sequence 01,
               1280x720 (1.0), 29_97 fps, Progressive, *insert duration*, 48000 Hz, Stereo
Audio Codec: AAC
Sample Rate: 48000 Hz Mono
Video Codec: H.264
Field Type: Progressive
Aspect: Square Pixels (1.0)
Render at Max. Depth: 24 bit
     After I export the project, I start another project (not changing the project settings from before), and then I import the finished project as media so I can add special FX (in this case muzzle flashes, blood, etc.). However when I add the video, PE10 states the project settings dont match, and asks if I'd like the program to choose the correct settings. I select yes. This changes the project settings to 'DSLR-1080p-DSLR 1080p30'. I edit without issues, and use the same export settings as I did for the base draft. I also notice when I view the project settings in the second project after it changes settings, that it says the editing mode is now 'Sony XDCAM EX 720p'. So my second question is:
-Should I use the setting that PE10 switches to? Or select 'No' and still use the Flip Mino setting i used for the first draft?
     The end video still looks great (for an iphone), although of course there is still noise. I'm basically trying to get the absolute best quality possible. If this is as good as it gets, and It turns out ive been doing this right, then that's fine. But if anyone can recomend better settings to use, then please tell. Thanks.
Forgot to mention, I'm using an unmodified MacBook Pro (2006) with Adobe Premiere Elements 10. Dont know if that info is needed, but thought I'd include it.

Why? Where did the 720p30 come from?
If you have 720p30 footage, you should be using
NTSC
AVCHD
AVCHD LITE 720p30
If that is what you have, do you really want to export that as 1920 x 1080 or 1280 x 720?
If an export of 1280 x 720, please look at
Share
Computer
AVCHD
Presets = MP4 - H.264 1920 x 1080 p30
and change the settings under the Advanced Button/Video Tab to look like
Please check out the export settings adjustments that you can make under Advanced Button/Video Tab and Audio Tab for the preset that you select.

Project settings menu does not appear

Running OS 10.9.5 and iMovie 10.0.5 on a macbook pro.
I'm trying to set the aspect ratio of my project. I have seen several docs and threads that say I should click File->Project Settings and the project settings menu will come up. However, I can't find that. The file menu does not contain Project Settings or anything like that. Neither do the other pull down menus.
I have also seen threads describing how when I create a new project (trailer or movie) and there is supposed to be point at which I can select the aspect ratio. Nope, don't see that either. For example, when I click the big "+" that is used to create a project, I get to choose between a trailer and a movie, then I get to choose a theme, then it asks for a name and I click OK and that's it.
I have also used Command-J, which is supposed to bring up the properties menu. That does give me the movie properties, but there is no place to choose an aspect ratio. I get the same results, or lack thereof, when I do Window->Move Properties (not surprising since command-J is the short cut key for this).
Question -- is this supposed to work with 10.0.5? I have tried to find a later version of iMovie but the only one I found on the apple store site was 10.0.6.
Any ideas?????

I have finally found where it is stated that iMovie 10 does not support project properties or changing the aspect ratio.
I love Apple and would never consider switching to a PD, but really, folks, this is just a plain dumb decision on Apple's part and IMHO reflects the continuing siphoning of quality resources from OS-X/laptops/desktops to iPhone and other gadgets. yuck.
consider this discussion closed (I don't know how to close it) and I will fire up my old iMini that has OS 10.6 on it and see if I can get the job done there.
yuck.

Frame size discrepancies in project settings?

Hi Guys
I have some new information and some observations on my problems with getting full screen output.
I looked through all the project settings and I noticed that the ones I was trying to use…
HD 1080i (60i) and HDV 1080i 30 say that the output is at a16 to 9 ratio and have a frame size of 1440 by 1080i.
This is the frame size or ratio, I kept trying to import.
I finally realized that this isn't a frame size that is proportional to the image ratio that it lists.
16 by 9 would really be proportional to 1440 by 810.
The 1440 by 1080 video that I import using either of these,does not export full screen even if it’s exported the same size it comes in, i.e.1440 in and 1440 out.
So I looked through the project setting for a selection where the stated ratio and the frame size matched.
I found HDV 720p 30.
16 by 9 at a 1280 by 720 frame size.
This would be an easy size for my to work in.
So I made a video at that size then loaded it into PE8 and it exported fine.
Full screen no border. In fact it comes out full screen no matter what size I export it.
When I exported the same video at 1600 by 900 it exported full screen and looked fine.
Then I went back and loaded the same 1280 by 720 video inthe HDV 1080i 30 settings.
It also came out full screen with no border.
So the problem is that as far as I can see the selection screen is wrong about the frame size for both the HD 1080i and the HDV 1080isettings.
You really have to load in something at 1600 by 900 or proportional to that.
And as far a I can find there is no setting that supports any thing other the wide screen except for the Standard 48kHz settings.
It looks like unless you want to go to a wide screen format 720 by 480 is the only option.
Now I’ll have to decide whether I want to do future projects wide screen or live with the restrictions on frame size.
I hate to change horses in the middle of the stream so I may just stick with the smaller size for the Lucy videos but other projects I will do wide screen.
Thanks again for all the help.
Mike

This question is from some other forum member. Don't know why they're linked to my e-mail address.

Subject: Re: Frame size discrepancies in project settings?
Hi Guys
Ok, I think I get it at last.
So when I create a 1440 by 1080 file, to use in the 1080i format, it should change the PAR from 1 to 1.333 when I create it, but since I can't control that I get an image that is too small, even though the pixel size is the same. The aspect ration should still end up 16 by 9.
So since Poser creates everything with a PAR of 1, my only option if I want a wide screen video is to actually pick a 16 by 9 ratio when I output it and ignore the listed frame size.
I still don't quite get why the image is both shorter and narrower, it seems like it should only be narrower but I'll live with it.
And there is no way to make PE8 output a full height image in the wide screen format that 3 by 4 except to drag it larger in the preview window.
And there is no advantage in doing that since I'm still using a 16 by 9 window and getting the file size that goes with it.
So if I want to work in a 3 by 4 format then the Standard 48kHz format it the only option.
Well at least I know what to do next time.
That should save a lot of time.
I may just give up and go to 16 by 9 and quit fighting it.
Thanks again.

Premiere Elements 12, Project settings to burn a DVD

Hi,
I'm a little confused about the project settings. I try to burn a DVD of 3 mpg-files. Here is a screenshot of the file info's, also one of the project settings:
According to the file information, I think the settings are correct, though the timeline shows an orange bar.
All files have the same informations.
When I go to finish the project to burn it on a DVD (output setting is PAL_Dolby DVD) it takes at least 14 hours, I don't think this is normal.
My system is a Macbook Pro, OS 10.9.1, 2.5 GHz, 16 GB RAM.
Any ideas what is wrong here?
Thank you in advance.
Jessie

Jessie
Great news with your troubleshooting. Great job.
Let us now look at what you wrote
The only thing that's left now is why I'm not able to save a project when I added one of my self created menue template
from the point of view of
a. how you created the menu template
and
b. where you placed it
Creation of the menus...
a. What did you put in the theme folder...just the main menu .psd file and scene menu.psd file or more? What were the exact names that you gave the main menu .psd file and scene menu .psd file? What program did you use to create your menus? We will get to the Layer Set structure in the Layers Palette of the .psd file(s) next if necessary.
b. I do not have a Mac computer so I cannot talk in terms of .psd file location in Mac. I will now talk in terms of Windows and hope that you can translate the following into the right Mac location for the theme files (assumed also .psd type).
Local Disk C
Program Files
Adobe
Adobe Premiere Elements 12
DVD Templates
Common
and, in the Common Folder, create a new folder named My Specials. In the My Specials Folder create a new folder named My XXX Theme. Inside the XXX Theme Folder goes the XXX .psd files and other theme assets.
In Windows, the menu theme (Slideshow/Pan and Zoom) that comes with the program is found in the above location. The menus that require Content download are in the Windows Program Data path that leads to the Online Folder. I do not want you to use that latter path counterpart in your Mac.
But let me ask this basic questions...
a. After you have placed the menu that you created in the computer, when you open Premiere Elements 12, do you see that menu in Movie Menu Display of menu choices
b. If so, can you click on its choice, hit Continue, and have the theme appear in the Movie Menu customization area of the opened project
c. If so, can you Preview the customized or uncustomized menu there and does it look good.
d. When all is done, how many main menu pages and how many scene selection pages do you have?
Let us start here, review the above, and then decide what next.
Thank you.
ATR
Add On...Additional focus may be computer resources, placement of Timeline markers, and spacing between Timeline markers, as well as fine details of Layer Sets in the Layers Palette of the .psd file, whatever else you may be placing in the Theme Folder of the menu that you made yourself.

RH 9 - Not able to edit project settings (styles)

Hi.
Once I import my FM 9 files I'm not able to edit my project settings via the Project Settings dialog. I can access the dialog, but when I try to edit the Style settings, none of the current style settings display. I followed the directions in Online Help and it did not indicate that this could not be done with imported documents as opposed to linked documents. Could that be the reason why?
Thanks in advance.

While importing a FM document, the style settings can be done through import wizard. Following steps may be followed.
1. Click File->Import->FrameMaker Document menu item.
2. "Import File" dialog opens. Browse and select the desried FrameMaker document.
3. "Content Settings" dialog appears. Do any TOC/Index/Glossary related setting if required. Click Next.
4. Click "Edit" button.
5. "Conversion Settings" dialog opens where style related settings can be done. The dialog will show all the styles of the FrameMaker document being imported currently.
This way style settings can be done for FrameMaker document being imported.
The "Conversion Settings" dialog opened through "Project Settings" dialog displays the styles of all the linked documents and not of imported document. However, if some settings are done for a linked document, those settings are available by default for all the FM documents being imported in the project.
I hope this resolves the issue.
Please let us know in case you have further queries.

Can't change settings in Project Settings dialog

Hi,
I'm using the CS4 version of Premiere Pro and Encore on Windows 7. I started with footage from an AVC HD camera. I brought it into Premiere Pro and created a sequence from the "AVHCD 1080i30 (60i)" preset. This results in a 1920x1080 frame with square pixels. I then used Dynamic Link to export that sequence to Encore.
Now, in Encore, if I display the Project Settings dialog, all of the options on the Basic tab are disabled except Authoring Mode (Blu-ray or DVD). It only lets me create an NTSC, 720x480 project.
Any idea why Encore doesn't let me select other project settings?
Bob

> what do you need to author to?
I want to author a "wide screen" DVD. I'm struggling to understand what it means to author a "standard" vs. "wide screen" DVD. I just posted a question on that subject in this same forum.
> Do you not see those options for a BD Project?
Curiously, no. If I select Blu-Ray, the only option it lets me play with is the Codec (MPEG-2 or H.264). All of the other settings are ghosted.
I guess what I'm starting to realize is that my project output options are constrained by the source matarial I've imported into Encore. But I haven't found anything that directly talks about how the zillions of possible source formats interact with the types of output I can generate using Encore.

Project Settings

I have done several projects before but just purchased Premier 12 and am learning more and more. That said I am finding that for some of the features that I want to do what I have my project set for is critical, so this is what I am taking pictures with, I have a Nikon Coolpix S 9100 and have it set for HD 1080 30 P (1920X1080) In doing some research and reading I am finding that Premier 12 automatically presets my project to fit the media that I import, am I correct in assuming that? So with that said I am doing a project and it set my project for NTSC-AVCHD-Full HD 1080 i 30. Before I add my images I edit my photos in Photoshop, I crop the photo usually to a 5x7 with a resolution of 150 thus giving me a 1050x750 image So all of that said these are my questions:
Should I be editing my photos in a different format size? (I did a test project and changed it to a 2000 x 1500) but than some of my photo on the time line was outside of the "safe margin" perimeter and wondering if at that higher resolution that I might run into crash issues as I tend to have allot of photos in a project)
What should my Capture Format be at? (Right now it is at HDV)
Under Video Rendering should I check the box Maximum Bit Depth?
In the new project set up should I check force selected project settings?
I know that I am asking allot but it seems like the more projects that I undertake the more questions that I have. Thank you for you support and help

hello
I'd open a clip in quicktime player and check video track in movie properties to see what codec is being used then set my easy setup to match. did you inherit the project as a project? if so in the browser you can find frame size compresser and number of audio tracks and audio sample rate for each piece of media in their rtespective columns. Use the appropriate settings on you3r system/ Hopefully you didn't inherit the project cause it was messed up.

How to choose the right project settings?

I'm new in taking video's and in editing them. I bought a Sanyo HD Xacti Video camera and made a lot of clips in my last holiday. The clips are transferred to my compter and have the format .MP4 1280-720 depth 1280 and 29,97 fps.
I want to create after editing en DVD which I can show on my TV 16:9 (PAL-Netherlands)
When I create a new project I have to choose the seetings and I really do not know how to choose!!
What Project settings should I choose because in the settings I only see 30 fps under de NTSC systems. Is there some where a general explanation how to do?
Help will be appreciated very much!!
Greetings Willem

Before the NTSC to PAL, I believe there are other major considerations.
1. You are recording 720p30 1280 x 720 16:9 at 30 frames per second, using the MPEG-AVC/H.264 codec). That sounds to me like your are dealing with what they call "AVCHD-Lite". If so, there are major basic problems editing that in Premiere Elements 7. See Steve Grisetti's FAQ
http://forums.adobe.com/thread/454585?tstart=0
2. Your remarks would suggest that you want to create at DVD-VIDEO widescree (16:9) of your Timeline.
3. So before all else, I would determine if you can successful bring your video into Premiere Elements 7 and export the DVD-VIDEO in the NTSC system before you think about converting an NTSC video to a PAL end product.
4. Typically you select the project preset (new project dialog) to match the properties of your video. Once done that does not stop you from changing the export preset later. In the case of your NTSC 720p30 Sanyo video, I would suggest the project preset (new project dialog) = NTSC HDV HDV 720p30. Think of the project preset as a template from which you can edit your video. Although this 720p is a variant of AVCHD, I suggest the HDV category since there is no 720p preset under AVCHD. Note that the descriptions to the right of where you set the preset.
5. In Share/Disc/Disc, in the Burn Dialog, then select the preset: NTSC_Widecreen_Dolby DVD. If that is all completed successfully then we can talk about conversion of NTSC 1280 x 720 16:9 to a PAL DVD-VIDEO (720 x 576 25 frames per second with a 16:9 flag to stretch the video on display after encoding).

After mixing a project i select bounce and burn the disc that is burned plays on any cd player but when i try to burn the wav or mp3 file that was created the resulting disc will only play in a computer this also happens with video projects help please

after mixing a project i select bounce and burn the disc that is burned plays on any cd player but when i try to burn the wav or mp3 file that was created the resulting disc will only play in a computer this also happens with video projects help please are there any settings i need to alter as it seems the wav or mp3 file i ceated is being converted to a data file somewhere between the folder and disc drive

Same thing for a movie file.. If you want to play back the movie via a DVD and a DVD player you must create a Movie DVD and not just burn files to a data DVD... as Data DVDs are just storage devices for files and therefore will only work with computers...
Movie DVDs are special formats that include things like menus and special file formats.. so they can playback via a DVD Player...
You will need a 3rd party DVD Burning app like Toast which is what i actually use.... or the more popular DVD Creator app...to create and then burn a Movie DVD that will playback on a DVD Player....

Projects settings for AVCHD MTS files in Adobe Premiere Elements 8

Hello,
I have read several discussions already, about importing AVCHD MTS file in Adobe Elements (version 8), but I'm also confused a littlebit, so I would like to confirm if I'm correct.
FYI, I have a Canon Legria HFR26 camera and am using Adobe Premiere Elements 8 (with the latest updates installed).
According to the specs in the Canon instruction manual:
Videos are recorded in high definition using AVCHD specifications
(MPEG-4/H.264 compression).
Audio compression: Dolby Digital 2ch
The camera supports making video's in different format, but I have done it in the default SP format, which results in a resolution of 1440x1080 (50 fields per second, interlaced).
I have copied the video from the camera to my harddisk, and Windows also mentions the video's as AVCHD of 1440x1080 (Bitrate 7672kbps).
The frame rate is 25 frames/second. I assume this is correct for 50i?
So, when I import my video's into Adobe Elements 8, I select the following projects settings:
PAL, AVCHD, HD 1080i 25
Because the description matches my video files:
- For editing with 1440x1080i AVCHD camcorders.
- 16:9 interlaced HD video at 25 frames per second.
- 48kHz audio.
The video's are imported correctly and I can play them. However, as soon as I drop a video on the timeline, Adobe immediately starts background rendering the video (a red line appears on the timeline).
What I understand from some discussions, is that this shouldn't happen, because the video format doesn't match the project settings. On the other hand, I have also read that for Adobe Elements 8 this is normal behaviour and it always start background rendering AVCHD video's.
Is this expected behaviour or should I chance my projects settings or maybe even convert my video files to a different format?
Thanks,
Michiel

The ability to work natively with AVCHD files was not added until version 10, Michiel. So you'll still have to render while you work in version 8.
