Quicktime Reference with XDCam HD

I'm trying to export QT Ref clips from an XDCam HD timeline.
Seems no faster than a regular export, with the same results as self-contained movie. Is it possible to export reference files with xdcam originals?
Thanks anyone!

I don't believe so.
XDCam (like its little brother, HDV) is an Open GOP MPEG-2 format and QuickTime doesn't really like Open GOP formats. Capturing to/importing them is fine, but exporting within the FCP/QT ecosystem (to the best of my knowledge) isn't possible.
So, when exporting movies out of FCP as HDV or XDCam, FCP converts those Open GOP files to closed GOP. In other words, no reference movies since FCP/QT is actually converting the files a bit, resulting in the extended processing time and full-length movies.

Aspect ratio, quicktime reference movie

Hi, I'm trying to compress my movie edited in 1080i HDV to the h.264 Sequence iPod video 640x480.
I've done this many many times exporting directly from FCP to compressor and it usually works.. But I have read (here and other places) that it is better to
1. make a quicktime reference movie
2. open that in compressor..
3. render (compress) into the correct format
When I do that it messes up the aspect ratio (making it even wider) any suggestions?
J

When converting like you did in the past, (where it changed the aspect of your image) did you go into the geometry controls of compressor and also select the proper aspect, found in the Frame Size controls.
If you fail to do this, you would end up with the wrong aspect being applied. You may also have to pad your video, using the "Output Image Inset (Padding) controls as well to maintain your 16x9 aspect on a 4x3 aspect.

Quicktime reference

Greetings all,
Apologies if this is an overasked question - but I have found no reference to it when searching.
If I export a 2 hr quicktime reference movie from Avid and then make a dvdsp project - will dvdsp automatically compress the qucktime to whatever quality it needs to fit it on a DVD ?
Be great if it did or do I have to work it out in advance ?
I know lots of stuff but I don't know this,
Thanks in advance

macbookpro Mac OS X (10.4.7) Bought primarily to edit on but you know how it is with macs - they do so much m

Your best bet is to make a self contained movie and encode outside of DVD SP, depending on the settings the movie may or may not fit and it will also have uncompressed audio, better to use AC3
To use Compressor to m2v and AC3- http://dvdstepbystep.com/fasttrackover.php gives the process (download the movie if you wish, Compressor sections starts at about the minute mark)
http://www.videohelp.com/calc.htm shows how to calculate the rate based on running time, best not to set the MAX rate for video over 7.2

Getting beach balls on some videos using Quicktime X with Perian

Hi, Some of my videos play perfectly using Quicktime X with Perian and with others I get the spinning beach balls. These videos seem to play fine when using VLC. Is this normal? Thanks

Is this normal?
It could be. The "spinning ball" indicates the application is "busy" -- i.e., actively involved in some activity. QT is very touchy about things like timecode breaks and proper file terminations. In some cases, like "muxed" MPEG-2 content, the QT player actually has to trace the data stream from beginning to end before playback will begin. VLC, on the other hand, containes its own codecs and is geared to Windows specific contetnt types which may not rely on external time references like QT or whose data may be open-ended or contain numerous timecode breaks. Additional delays may be caused by continuous switching between 32- and 64-bit modes of operation and/or other complications/problems.

My iPod no longer appears as folder/file in Itunes when connected. Library, genius, playlists, etc. are present, but there is no longer cross reference with the iPod itself. Help!?

I just tried it again and this time a different message showed up "The iPod 'name' cannot be synced. The required folder cannot be found." I have no clue what folder it could be talking about.

Change price in Sales Order created with reference with Quote

Hi Experts,
Need to change price (eg..1000USD to 1100USD) in sales order (va02). Here Sales Order is created (va01)with reference with Quote(va21) where price in maintained (as 1000USD). so price in Sales Order is copied from Quote. Now, If I want to do the change in Sales Order (from 1000USD to 1100USD) kindly suggest me what are all the possible ways. Can I do the changes within the existing documents rather than creating new docs. due to the change.
Note: User is creating new Quote with 1100USD and creating subsequent new Sales Order with new Quote.
Thanks
Viswanathan

Hi,
In va02 you double-click on the material that has been entered, then in the new screen goto the condition tab, here u will find the $1000 that you have entered, and then change it to $1100.

I had this video file and I was trying to flip it to a format that would work with iMovie. It used to have the Quicktime image with it. So, I assume it was a QT file. But, somehow I've changed the file from a video to a folder.

How?
Please detail ALL you have done so far in the way of troubleshooting? Need this info to avoid the been there done that scenarios.
it's the only copy of this video.
Where did you get the video from?
From the pic I noticed that the folder is 841.9mb. What's inside? Or what happens when you click on it?

Access of possibly undefined property number through a reference with static type...

Hello everyone !
I run into this problem today ... take a look on the code :
import com.trick7.effects.TeraFire;
for (var j:uint=0; j<10; j++) {
    var fire:TeraFire = new TeraFire();
    fire.x = j * 40 + 20;
    fire.y = 100;
    fire.number = j; //This line is causeing the problem
    addChild(fire);
    fire.buttonMode = true;
TeraFire class creates fire particles. The compiler error is :
Scene 1, Layer 'Layer 1', Frame 1, Line 7
1119: Access of possibly undefined property number through a reference with static type com.trick7.effects:TeraFire.
Anyone can help me to find a solution to this problem.
I can do that ".number" with a movieclip but not in this case. What can I do ?

I borrowed that class from the internet.
I made the changes you suggested: imported flash.Display.MovieClip and also made the class extend MovieClip.
The error is still throwing in compiler errors. I am not really good enough to edit this class because there are some functions I don't still understand very good. This is the class below:

I you can clarify a little bit further I would appreciate it a lot because I wasted some good time on this.

Access of undefined method/property through reference with a static type Class

I get the following error: (it's not word for word but you get the idea)
Error: Access of undefined method getStatus through reference with a static type Class.
Here's what's happening in the code. I'm trying to create a User class that is instantiated at the start of my app. I want the User class to have properties like mainStatus, with helper methods like setStatus etc. Pretty simple.
so on my HardDisk I have my flash_working folder with all my flash projects. I created my class file/package under the directory com.mypackage
package com.mypackage
    import flash.display.*;
    public class User extends Sprite
        public var mainStatus:int;
        public function User()
            trace("User Created!");
            mainStatus = 0;
        public function setStatus(status:int):void
         mainStatus = status;
    public function getStatus():int
        return mainStatus;
Ok, so far so good.
now I created a new .fla file under the root of /flash_working/. The class file is in /com/mypackage/User.as
in my .fla file I have:
import com.mypackage.User;
var myUser:User = new User();
var i = User.getStatus();
trace(i);
That's all the code I have. Could someone please explain why it's giving me that error?
If I try to access the public var mainStatus through user.mainStatus that gives a similar error saying:
Error: Access of undefined property mainStatus through reference with a static type Class.
Thanks for any help!
jef3189

the public getStatus() function that you created needs to be referred to through an instance of the class.
So:
import com.mypackage.User;
var myUser:User = new User();
var i = myUser.getStatus();
trace(i);
Also, an aside. You can create a getter/setter for status, to avoid having to do the function as such.
package com.mypackage
    import flash.display.*;
    public class User extends Sprite
        public var mainStatus:int;
        public function get status():int
            return mainStatus;
        public function set status(value:int):void
             mainStatus = value as int;
          public function User()
            trace("User Created!");
            mainStatus = 0;
And then, you can call it as:
import com.mypackage.User;
var myUser:User = new User();
trace(myUser.status);
EDIT
I just noticed that you made the variable public as well, which means you can access it without getter/setter or function.
import com.mypackage.User;
var myUser:User = new User();
trace(myUser.mainStatus);

Tds line item not simulating while posting as reference with FBR2

Dear All
When I am posting an Invoice using previous document as reference with Tcode FBR2 WTax line Item not simulating, but while I am posting without reference i.e. with Tcode FB60 it is simulating, this problem i am facing in production server from this fiscal year but in development server it is working properly.
what is the possible cause and how to solve this problem.

Hi,
For WHT cannot be deducted by using F-02 OR FB01. It seems system is using the same transaction in background and not FB60 and hence tds is bnot getting deducted.

Creating a QuickTime movie with the new Canon T5i camera in iMovie 9.0.9.

Help needed creating a QuickTime movie with the new Canon T5i camera in iMovie 9.0.9. The project is done and looks good...I need help understanding what settings need to be set so I can make a QuickTime movie in the highest quality that would fit the ratio of 16.9 to be sent out to my YouTube page. I played around with some of the settings and have not come with the right setting for the video. I want the highest quality with the lowest amount of megabytes…thanks

I would suggest using SHARE/EXPORT MOVIE and choose 1920x1080 (if your source material supports this).
That should work well in YouTube.
If you want to go further with custom QuickTime settings, here are some that should work, but in my experience, it will be no better than using SHARE/EXPORT MOVIE.
follow the instructions below to create a .mov video that will work on YouTube:
In iMovie, select Share > Export Using QuickTime
Next, you may want to check your Options to verify that the following settings are correct:Video settings
Compression Type: H.264
Frame Rate: 30 is preferred. 23.98, 24, 25, 29.97 are also acceptable.
Data Rate: Automatic
Key Frames: Automatic
Frame Reordering: Unchecked
Audio/Sound settings
Format: AAC
Click Show advanced settings and choose Constant Bit Rate as encoding strategy
Other settings
Size: Choose the original size of the video

Call to a possibly undefined method getClipboardContents through a reference with static type flashx.textLayout.edit:ISelectionManager.

Hi Guys,
As i am using the nigtly build of TLF 4.0.0.11073.
I want to copy some text from the TLF, by copy operation. I am getting this type of Error.
- Call to a possibly undefined method getClipboardContents through a reference with static type flashx.textLayout.edit:ISelectionManager.
In the previous build, i dont use to get this type of error, but in this nightly builds i am getting this type of error.
Can anyone help me to fix the same or any workaound.
Thanks in advance.
Krishna

This functionality is still available, but it has moved. It's now in a TextClipboard class, in the same flashx.textLayout.edit package. So you should replace calls to getClipboardFormat() with TextClipboard.getContents().
Hope this helps,
