Removing letterbox when exporting FCE

I am trying to figure this one out...When I export my FCE project and import the quicktime clips into iMovie, why does it import with letterbox? Is there a setting that I need to set when exporting the project?
The reason why I am importing to iMovie is that, I have to do some editing from a HDV camera and a regular DV camera. Thanks for your help.

The format that I am working in FCE is 720p HDV and then I export to quicktime movie. After exporting into quicktime, I import the clips into iMovie DV NTSC. Maybe becuase that I am trying to work with DV and HDV in one project that I am having this problem?

Unwanted letterbox when exporting

I am editing a short film in four different segments on four computers. Three of them export in wide screen and one of them exports in letterbox. The film is all the same quality, what do I do to get rid of the black bars?

Check item properties for the sequence that's letterboxed. Most likely it's 4:3. Change the setup to anamorphic. Then copy and paste the content from the bad sequence to to the good. The clips will be distorted but use the remove attributes function to reset the distortion value.

Final Cut Express FCE Crashes when exporting to Quicktime or Quicktime conv

Final Cut Express FCE Crashes when exporting to Quicktime or Quicktime conversion!
This started completely out of the blue last night. The export gets about 30-50% done and FCE disappears from the screen and the "FCE quit unexpectedly" message pops up. This has never happened before and I was doing exports of this very project all week. All other projects won't expect, the current project won't export when brought into a new file, I tried reinstalling FCE, and I deleted the pref files spoken about in the forum.
Any Ideas!!!????

Try repairing permissions and re-boot.

Where can I give feedback regarding Aperture? I'd love to see the ability to removes EXIF data when exporting, especially to social networks.

Robert,
For any normal Export, simply cilick the list of option and further click on Edit. There deselect to include Metadata, and there will be no EXIF data exported. But no copyright info either.
The option already exists to do what you want. Once a normal Export has deselected that, I believe even exports via plugin for say FB will not have it either. I tested with an export to SmugMug after deselecting in an earlier ordinary export, and EXIF info was not transmitted.

Having problems when exporting .swf file as an animated gif

Hi:
I was wondering if anyone has ever had any issues exporting a
flash file as an animated gif? When I do so, the image quality is
very compromised and the animation is distorted. I know this is not
very specific question, but I have never encountered this issue
before, and I am trying to help a co-worker. I don't understand why
it looks exactly the way we want it to look as an swf file, but not
as an animated gif? Can anyone point me in the right direction as
to what to look for as the potential source of this problem? I have
the swf file, although this would not be very helpful as I don't
have access to the flash file (but I can send it to you if that
would help). We tried unchecking the feature to optimize the image,
and changed the color pallete to adaptive, but this didn't solve
the problem. I also tried removing any unnecessary layers prior to
the export. Basically, I'm not sure as to how to proceed and what
may be causing the problem. I also want to mention there is a
placed image on the stage. Could the type of image placed be
causing the problem when exporting to a gif file, but not as a
.swf? If anyone could help, I would really appreciate it! Thanks.
Sara

I also wanted to mention that the swf file uses sound. I am
reading an old book that I have on Flash and it's saying that Flash
and Shockwave Flash enter a special mode when they encounter a
stream sound in which the animation is forced to keep up with the
sound track, if the animation frames can not be drawn quickly
enough, some frames are skipped. I am also reading that the
animated gif format does not support sound. Again, the only
reference I have is for a very old version of flash, and I'm not
sure it applies to CS3. I am now just thinking that the sound may
be the issue.

Format changing when exporting from InDesign to PDF

I am using Acrobat 8 version 8.1.2, and InDesign version 5.0.2.
I am noticing a very specific problem when exporting some files to PDF from InDesign.
We often have a format where we have a numbered list of right-aligned number, followed by some text, a leader line, and then another number at the end of the line. This is set up with a left indent and a first line left indent (rather than using the numbered list options), and then the necessary tabs later in the lines.
I am finding since we switched to IDCS3, that when I export to PDF, lines containing this format change in the PDF. The text that appears after the number in the front of the line is pushed over on top of the leader line, leaving a huge white space. On rarer occasions, it will move things in lines that have no indents, but contain tabs that aren't being used.
I have been able to get the files to export correctly by removing the left indent and first-line left indent and using tabs instead (or by removing unused tabs). But we have hundreds of files set up in this manner so going in and changing how they are all set up is problematic to say the least.
Is this a known issue? Does anyone know why this might happen and how I can prevent it?

I haven't tried printing to PDF. I will try that and see what happens. Unfortunetly, where I work we are required to export to PDF rather than print to PDF, so if it works it will only be a clue for me rather than a solution.
Thanks for the reply. I'll try a cross post to the InDesign forms.

Error when exporting file from LR5.2 - file created

After updating to LR5.2, I receive an error when exporting files to another disk drive. a file is created, but a warning appears "Unable to Export: "An internal error has occurred: Win32 API error 2 ("The system cannot find the file specified.") when calling ShellExecuteExW from AgWorkspace.shellExecute". I also have CC iunstalled for other applications, but originally installed LR5 as a standalone Adobe application. I tried removing the program and reinstalling through CC, with no change in this behavior.

Hi
Error -50 paramErr Error in user parameter list
Can there be any external hard disks - if so How is/are it/they formatted ? Must be Mac OS Extended (hfs) if used for Video.
UNIX/DOS/FAT32/Mac OS Exchange - works for most but not for VIDEO.
What this means in Your situation is above me.
• free space on internal boot hard disk? How much ?
Video codec
• streamingDV, AIC etc. (not .avi, .mp4, .m4v, .wmv etc as they are containers not codecs)
Pictures
• in what format ? .jpg, .bmp, .tif, else ?
Audio
• from where/what format ? iTunes, .avi, .mp3, .aiff, else ?
The "com.apple.iMovie.plist" file
Many users has not observed that there are TWO libraries.
• Library - at root level
• Library - in user/account folder - THIS IS THE ONE to look into
from Luke Burns
I fixed the problem.. but it was very, very strange. I had a very long section for credits and set the line spacing to 1.0.. for some reason this caused it. I removed it, and it worked fine. I put it back, and I couldn't preview or play the video.
I don't know why that could cause that big of a problem, but it did..

You need more free space on your hard drive.
jonorparkerjon
After phone support from apple I ended up creating a new project and adding all 117 clips back in individually till I found out what clips flagged and would not allow me to export. I had 3 I deleted and replaced and everything works now 1hr after tedious work....
Where do Your material come from
• Camera
• External hard disk
• USB-memory
And all are connected so that iMovie can find it ?

EXIF data filtered when exporting to Flickr

I've noticed that some EXIF data seems to be filtered out when exporting photos to Flickr via Aperture's built-in Flick exporter.
For example, if I export same photo using Flickr's upload page, then using Aperture's built-in Flickr exporter, then re-download original back to my computer, the fields like "lens size" are missing from the copy exported by Aperture.
There's few other fields that are silently filtered out by Aperture. Looking at the differences between two copies of the same photo re-downloaded back from Flickr, examples include fields such as digital zoom, subject distance, focus mode, macro mode, firmware version, serial number, owner name (and the list goes on)...
While one could argue that some fields contain personal information, there's my real name on my Flickr account, so having serial number or owner name in EXIF data removed is kind of pointless for my use case. Also, there's tons of photos I exported in the past to various photo sharing sites containing these headers anyhow.
I'd really like to preserve some interesting and useful (technical) fields such as lens size or subject distance. Is there a way to tell Aperture "I don't care, the world already knows this stuff, don't filter EXIF info when exporting"?

Hi Raja,
Not sure, what version are you in, but must not be in latest.
You have to write a e-text to get csv/txt of the desired format.
By default, if you are not in latest version, you will see some data when you select csv without E-text template

Non-functioning booksmarks when exporting with Acrobat X

Using InDesign CS5, I export my book documents to PDF Print and include bookmarks and hyperlinks. This has been working just fine using Acrobat Standard, and the person reading the document can navigate through the pages using either the document's Table of Contents or the Adobe bookmarks panel. I recently upgraded to Acrobat Pro X, and now this function no longer works properly. When you click on any Table of Contents bookmark, they all take you to the first page of the document. In addition, the bookmarks in the Adobe bookmark panel do not work at all. When I look at the bookmark properties, they all point to p0. It is possible to manually reset the properties of the Adobe panel bookmarks, but not the TOC, but this is time consuming and doesn't solve the problem. Besides removing Acrobat Pro X from my computer, has anyone found another solution for this problem?

I believe this is a known bug when exporting Books from CS5, and that it is not restricted to Acrobat X.
The only workaround I know is to combine the files into one document.

Colour loss when exporting jpeg from Aperture 2.1

I'm having a problem with colour loss in images i'm trying to export to a website.These are jpegs that have been worked on as RAW in Aperture,when exported to desktop and viewed in preview there is no colour loss at all, but when viewed on the site the colour saturation seems very dull and lack lustre - any ideas?? I have checked all the export presets (been going through all the posts to see if i could pickup anyone else finding the same) and they are all at the same settings. Thanks

Go to the tools menu and then assign profile. Choose the display profile that your monitor is using. This will effectively stop preview from doing any translation to your monitor. See if this matches what you are seeing when you upload to the web. If it does then somewhere in your upload, process, web server chain the profile is being removed from the jpg or the browser you are using ignores color profiles (most windows browsers ignore image color profiles, that's why adobeRGB profile images look like crap to most windows users when viewed in Explorer)
Ps if this is the case nothing is wrong you are just getting a preview of how most windows users will see your image on the web. Adjust to taste.

Field value not working as "Can grow" when exported in PDF

Hi, I have a unique problem. We have a report which is using a sub-report. When we run that report in Crystal report and preview then it looks fine. This subreport is designated as "can grow" so if the field length is bigger than the size then it is coming in the second row. Everything works fine except when we export this report in PDF.
When we export in PDF then this field is not working as "Can grow" and remaining value of the fields is truncated. This is happening both in XI and 2008 version of Crystal client.
Thanks,

Hi, This is declared as bug by Business Objects Support and Product team will decide if they want to include fix in next release (or fix). This is not possible before Dec 2009 or Early 2010.
Below are the general steps on how to apply the suggested workaround:
1. Remove the on-demand subreport caption, and add an empty string to it instead.
1.1 In the u201CDesignu201D view of the report, right click on the subreport and select u201CFormat Subreportu2026u201D
1.2 In u201CFormat Editoru201D window, under the tab u201CSubreportu201D, click on the u201CX-2u201D button of the option u201COn-Demand Subreport Captionu201D
1.3 In the u201CFormula Workshopu201D window, highlight the text in the formula, and cut it. ( Ctrl-X)
( We are just copying the text, as we need to use the samething for the formula or text object we will use to replace this. )
1.4 Type the following in the formula: u201Cu201D
1.5 Click on the button u201CSave and closeu201D, to close the u201CFormula Workshopu201D
1.6 Back to the u201CFormat Editoru201D window, click on the u201COKu201D button to accept the change.
2. Create a formula or insert a text object in which you add the text or fields you will like to display
( In the following steps we will be using a formula )
2.1 In the u201CField Exploreru201D, right click on u201CFormula Fieldsu201D and select u201CNewu201D
2.2 In the u201CFormula Nameu201D window, type the name of the formula. ( Example: My subreport caption )
2.3 In the u201CFormula Workshopu201D, copy the text you cut in step 1.3, or simply add the database fields and text you will like to display for your on-demand subreport caption.
2.4 Save and close the formula by clicking on the u201CSave and closeu201D button
3. Insert the formula over the on-demand subreport, and resize the field to be of the desired length.
4. Format the formula to display like a hyperlink. ( Blue font and underlined text )
4.1 Right click on the formula inserted in step 3, and select u201CFormat Fieldu2026u201D
4.2 In the u201CFormat Editoru201D, under the tab u201CFontu201D, set the color to blue
4.3 Still under the tab u201CFontu201D, check the u201CEffectsu201D option u201CUnderlineu201D
4.4 Under the tab u201CCommonu201D, check the option u201CCan Growu201D
4.5 Click on the u201COKu201D button to accept the change
5. Move the formula to the back in order to ensure you can drill-down on the on-demand subreport
5.1 Right click on the formula inserted above the on-demand subreport and select u201CMove u2013 To Backu201D
Now, when exporting the report to PDF format, the formula used to replace the u201Con-demand subreport captionu201D that displays more than one line will all be exported.
This workaround has following limitations:
The User can see the service description in two lines because of the u2018Text Objectu2019, the On demand subreport is not growing into the second line in the crystal report since we removed the caption.
So the user has to carefully click on the first line of the description in the main report to open the subreport. If he clicks on the second line then it wonu2019t open the required subreport and it may create confusion.
If we manually stretch out the subreport to occupy two lines space then it will leave a gap in between when we have only 1 line service description.
So plan ahead of time about how lengthy text in su-report would be.

Errors when Exporting PDF to various formats

I have a 231 Page PDF that consists of text, scanned images/pages of text, metadata, comments and hidden text. The document is a company manual/handbook. I am working on a project to pull all this into InDesign in order to make the document easily and quickly editable. The problem is that the original PDF was created with Word with all the elements I've listed and the main problem being the scanned pages of text (from previous versions of the manual) just inserted in word before being exported. So, I can't just copy and paste everything into InDesign because a lot of the text is actually scanned pages.
Originally, I got around this by running the OCR Engine and then Command-A > Command-C, etc. The problem there is that the formatting is completely messed up. Line breaks all over, etc. I removed all formatting (including line breaks) by copying and pasting all of the text into Safari's Google search box and then copying/pasting that back into Word (which will eventually simply serve as the file InDesign pulls the text from). Now I'm going through adding in text formatting (paragraph breaks, etc.) by flipping pages of the original manual while hitting "Enter" in Word.
Now, I see a feature in Acrobat 9 Pro that allows me to export to Word, RTF, etc. However, I keep getting some errors. I've managed to get rid of all but one - Bad Fonts. Adobe pops up this "Bad Font" error and tells me the file has not been saved. Additionally, I've managed to get through 116 pages of the document saving process when exporting to "Text - Accessible" and then Acrobat 9 Pro just quits.
Any thoughts on how to get around this error or fix it? Any other time saving tips?
Thanks

Hello,
It seems that the problem is related to particular PDF file.
1. Try running OCR on it via Tools -> Text Recognition -> In This File, and then convert the file.
2. Print the file to Adobe PDF printer and then try to Export it into Excel.

Anoop

SSRS XML Errors when exporting to .xlsx from Dynamics NAV Database

We use Dynamics NAV for our ERP and have many SSRS reports. We get xml Errors when exporting to Excel .xlsx. I've seen this happen since SQL 2008 R2 and have posted in many places trying to find an answer, but was hoping MS would solve the
issue. The numeric data types in the Dynamics NAV database are all decimal(38,20) and when the value is zero the Excel renderer throws the errors.
We now have over 400 reports and we export them to Excel 2003 format. I'm starting to feel like this is my new Y2K issue when Excel 2003 is set to sunset. I'm fearing that I'll have to do conversions on all numeric data types for all reports.
Both of these are Microsoft products so I'm wondering is this even on their radar.
We're running SQL Server 2012 SP2, and just rolled out CRM 2015 on SQL Server 2014. I get the errors in SSRS 2008R2, 2012, and 2014. Has anyone seen this before?

Hi Skywalker73,
According to your description, when you export the report to Excel, the error “Excel was able to open the file by repairing or removing the unreadable content.” throws out when opening the Excel file.
Based on my research, it has reported the same issue when exporting to Excel. The issue could cause by numeric columns has a precision of 16 or higher. To fix the issue, we could change data type in the table to a support lower precision, or convert
the numbers in the stored procedure that populates the report. For more information, please refer to this article:
SSRS 2012 Bug – “Excel found unreadable content”. Besides, please refer to this
article to check if non-printing characters exist in the report.
If you have any question, please feel free to ask.
Best regards,
