Render issues with footage from Color

I'll start off by noting that this issue only happens running Snow Leopard.
I am having terrible problems when trying to apply and render some effects on footage which has come from Color…specifically, the Bad Film filter. Either at the render completion or during the render, I'll get all sorts of "screen draw" problems, like green and pink pixels everywhere. Sometimes they will only appear in the Canvas window, but if I launch any other app, the new app's is nothing but the screen error and the app is useless, thought I think it still functions, though useless to the point that I'm only left with having to restart. Occasionally, it'll throw that error telling me I must restart (in several different languages). I have occasionally had success with very short clips, but anything much more than 30 seconds is useless. I would think this is a hardware issue; however, it only happens under Snow Leopard and is not an issue with Leopard.
I have performed a clean install from a zeroed disk with both 10.5 and 10.6 and upgraded to the latest point release. I'm not really sure where to go from here. Has anyone experienced anything like this? I have the early 2008 8-core 2.8GHz Mac Pro with 16Gigs of RAM and two monitors connected to the ATI HD 2600 XT. I've also tried rebooting to just one monitor, but no dice. I've run hardware tests from TechTools that came with my ACD's AppleCare and all appears rosy. Real Time effects seem to work just fine and I don't have issues with all effects that require rendering. Most befuddling, I'm having no issue on clips that have not first gone through Color. Strange, huh?

Sorry about that.... The footage is ProRes422 1440x1080 going into Color and ProRes422 1920x1080 coming out. I've tried exporting at 8-bit Uncompressed out of Color with the same results.
Originally, this is 24p footage from an HV20 taken to ProRes via this: http://support.apple.com/kb/HT2410 method.
I'm still just not sure why this only happens in Snow Leopard, while everything works peachy in Leopard, though I think you may be on the right track with this being an FxPlug filter. I know I would occasionally get messages stating, basiclly, "Your GFX card is a wimp, these filters won't work" when trying 10-bit sequences under Leopard, thus I tried the 8-bit setting with this issue and all without any luck. I'll will try "Light Rays" and "Bloom" this evening to see if I get the same result.
To make this stranger still, Bad TV seems to render just fine, as far as I can recall, only Bad Film give me problems. I suppose this particular filter may not be compatible with my configuration. Perhaps, I shoud be getting that message instead of a crash.

Issues with importing from excel

I have been running into a several issues with importing from Excel.
First my configuration
I am running SQL Developer ver 1.5.5 Build MAIN-5969
I am on a Windows XP Professional Version 2002 with Service Pack 3
I am importing into an Oracle 10g database.
1. SQL Developer doesn't work on Excel 2007, I have to save all my files into Excel 97-2003 format before I can use them.
2. If I run into an error loading and stop the process, SQL Developer doesn't release the Excel file and I get a sharing violation if I try to save the spreadsheet without closing SQL Developer.
3. I have found that I have to set print area to the area I want to work with, otherwise the import wizard tries to keep adding rows.
4. When using the Import wizard, it keeps adding commas on fields with numerics unless I specify the column in excel as text. Currently the column is formatted as General in the spreadsheet or I can change the wizard format to say the column is an integer, but it actually is just a code field with numeric characters so it may have leading zeroes that I need to keep.
This might be related,
I have a column in excel defined as text but only contains numerics. It is of length 4, but the wizard sets a precision of 5 with a datatype of VARCHAR2. If I try to change it to 4, I get an error saying the field is not large enough. Yet, when I do a LEN on the column, it only gives me a 4. I have other fields in the same sheet that a 3 position numeric and 2 position numeric and those are fine. I am thinking this is related to the comma being inserted in a numeric field for anything greater than 3 positions.
5. Importing excel dates to oracle dates doesn't work. I have to convert the excel date column to text then import as a VARCHAR, then convert to Date once in the database.
6. The default of nullible is not set on any columns and I have to set them before the import. (I would prefer it set to nullible and I have to uncheck the box to make it not nullible. I would prefer to import all of the data and then deal with the nulls after they have been pulled in)
7. When I select header columns included it uses that as the column names. Is it possible to do the name length check then? It has bit me a few times where I try to import and forget to check the name length and then I get an error when I start running the import.
8. If one of the columns to import has all nulls, then the precision comes out to 0 and if it isn't changed an error occurs on import. Could this situation default to a precision of 1?
9. It would be nice if there was a completion message displayed and a cancel option while running.

On point 3.
I have a column in excel that consists of numbers. 4 digit numeric codes. Ex, 1111, 2345, etc
The column's format is general. It displays as just 4 numbers.
When I start the wizard initially, the column appears with data as 1,111, 2,345, etc, on the Data Preview screen.
It determines the precision to be 5 on the column definition screen.
If I change the precision to 4 then continue, that field will error out when I verify with "not big enough to hold the data in source columns"
If, I change the excel column to a TEXT column.
Excel still displays as 1111, 2345, etc
The wizard then displays the same data 1111, 2345 on the Data Previeiw screen
Yet, when I get to the column definition screen it still sizes it as a 5
If I change it to a 4, I get the same error when verifying.
If I leave them alone as 5, then it processes just fine.

I have been having a issue with getting the colors on my monitor to match the colors fro my print lab. I now have the monitor calibrated to match the prints but when I open elements it doesn't use the same colors. If i have it use the calibrated profile by changing the color management settings, the color picker no longer shows true white or black. How do I get elements 12 to honor the new calibrated settings?

Ok so I've done what you said and this is what it's come back ....
I don't know that these are the errors , but they're the things which don't look right ...
Throughout the shut down there is a recurring line ;
It says ;
Com.apple.launchd 1 0x100600e70.anonymous.unmount 301 PID still valid
Then there are 2 more which I think are related ;
Com.apple.securityd 29 PID job has I overstayed its welcome , forcing removal.
Then the same with fseventd 48 and diskarbitrationd 13
Oh and on Launchd1 : System : stray anonymous job at shut down : PID 301 PPID13 PGID 13 unmount...
Then the last process says "about to call: reboot (RB_AUTOBOOT).
Continuing...
And stops ...
Hope this means something to you ... Thanks again for your help so far :-)

Most likely you have Office 2004 which are PPC-only applications and will not work in Lion. Upgrade to Office 2011. Other alternatives are:
Apple's iWork suite (Pages, Numbers, and Keynote.)
Open Office (Office 2007-like suite compatible with OS X.)
NeoOffice (similar to Open Office.)
LibreOffice (a new direction for the Open Office suite.)

Printing issues with Aperture 3 - color management

I just made three prints of the same images, two with Aperture 3 that turned out very dark and off color, almost as it they were printed without color management or double profiles. I then printed the third by exporting the image to CS4 and printing with the same settings (rendering intend, printer settings and custom printer profile) and that print looks fine. Has anyone else run into similar problems with A#? I did not have this issue with Aperture 2.
Thanks,
Message was edited by: pcalvin

I print on an Epson 2880 with Lyson inks and custom profiles. In Aperture 2 it worked perfectly, with exactly the same settings as for printing Photoshop - using the laboratory prescribed settings:perceptual and no black point compensation in Photoshop, and Adobe RGB Gamma 2.2 in the Print settings.
Using the same profile and settings with Aperture 3, the colours are way, way off - exactly as described.
I then tried with Aperture 3 turning off the Adobe RGB setting, so there was no colour space adjustment in the Print setting. This gave a slightly better result, but rather dead and slightly blue.
I ran some tests with the GretagMacbeth colour chart used in preparing the profiles, which confirmed the above but also shows a lack of sharpness when printing from Aperture 3, and a blue border on three sides of the image - even though the border was set to 0.00. I have checked the printer head adjustments and run the test chart through Photoshop again to verify these are Aperture 3 artefacts.
Unless this is resolved, it renders Aperture completely useless! (I have tried reinstalling printer drivers, to no effect).

Oracle 10g - issue with "DELETE from TABLE WHERE ID in (1,2,3)" (cfqueryparam used)

Hello, everyone.
I am having issues with running a DELETE statement on an Oracle 10g database.
DELETE
FROM tableA
WHERE ID in (1,2,3)
If there is only one ID for the IN clause, it works. But if more than one ID is supplied, I get an "SQL command not properly ended" error message. Here is the query as CF:
DELETE
FROM TRAINING
WHERE userID = <cfqueryparam cfsqltype="CF_SQL_VARCHAR" value="#trim(form.userID)#">
AND TRAINING_ID in <cfqueryparam value="#form.trainingIDs#" cfsqltype="CF_SQL_INTEGER" list="yes">
Anyone work with Oracle that can help me with this? I'm an experienced MS-SQL developer; Oracle is new to me.
Thanks,
^_^

Nevermind.. a co-worker just told me that I still have to use parenthesis around the values for the IN clause.

The loaded data looks like this:
The data for store C2 is loaded also on store C1 so everything is messed up.
I also have a question regarding dimensions. I have a model in PAS which has data from different data sources (BW and excel). In excel I have dimensions which are not loaded from BW (they don't exist there). How to create such dimenison?
Thank you a lot in advance.
Best regards,
Petra

Petra,
The Forum isn't really designed as a training system but rather where people can share questions or get a separate pair of eyes to look afresh at issues that aren't working for some reason. This is particularly the case for something which is as important as creating dimensions.
The idea of the SSM Cube Builder/Model Designer was to enable people to build models with their relevant dimensions and metrics for demos and simple initial systems using manual data entry. If you are getting into building dimensions that will be outside BW then you are moving into the implementation arena rather than demo creation and need to work carefully so that things tie up.
I doubt people would expect to be able to set up/implement BW without training and SSM is the same.
If you would like training or would like to collaborate on a first project to enable skills transfer then my colleague Pedro and I would be happy to discuss this. We have done this with other people and it has worked well.
Regards
Colin

Quality issues with calls from US to Korea

I've always been a big fan of Skype. I have a premium account and I use "Skype to go" to call from the US to South Korea. Starting about 5 months ago, the quality of these calls has severely degraded. It is almost not worth the call. It is very difficult for me to hear the people I've called and for them to hear me as well. There is no Skype customer support contact phone number listed anywhere on the Skype website that I can find. Otherwise, I'd be addressing this issue with a real person. Is there a reason for this call quality degradation? Is there a fix in work? Is there a customer service number I can call? Is it time for me to leave Skype?

rates are available on http://www.skype.com/en/rates/ just enter Itay in the destination and check the rates lower down the page.
If you are going to make a lot of calls - check the subscriptions available too...
There are subscriptions that include landlines and mobiles as well

BO XI issues with properties from BPC

Hi all,
I post again my message (it was not in the good forum) and I complete with answers to Andrey.
We created an universe on a BPC cube, after creation, we see all the properties of the dimension, but this is impossible to see the values of the properties, only their names.
Andrey asked "What do you mean by "to see the values of the properties""
What I mean is that if we make a request with WEBI on the universe, then we cannot see the values of the properties, ie I cannot see the value of the property "EVDESCRIPTION" in my request for example.
My colleague is trying to make a request that displays some accounts in line with the description of the account for example, and we can only see the ID of the account, but the EVDESCRIPTION property is empty each time, and this is the same with all properties of all dimensions.
Did someone already encounter this issue ?
Thanks

Post from thread: Re: BO reporting on top of BPC NW
Problem during Query development:
1. If we put unverse's dimension (in terms of BO) to Query and then execute query we can see the data from the dimension.
2. BUT
when we add an object "Measure" (for example YTD) to "Dimension" and run query - we have no data returned back. (even just Dimension data).
I found this issue documented in SAP note 1495455
It says:
Symptom
Business Objects Enterprise report has been created using the ODBO provider delivered with BPC 7.5 NW.
Report works well with only dimensions retrieved.
Same report using measures, gives error:
" The 'No data to retrieve. Query 1' "
Environment
BPC 7.5 NW.
Cause
This is because of the default behavior of ODBO provider.
If no restriction on any dimension, the ODBO provider takes the default member of a dimension to build the query.
The default member is the first member along a hierarchy.
The original ODBO comment is:
"We loop through our contexts and for each context, we create a
fully-qualified tuple consisting of the member as specified in the
context followed by the default member(s) of the
hierarchy(s) on the slicer axis as derived above."
Resolution
So the cube does not have transaction data and the WebI reports the no data message.
This is not a bug.
I took this to mean that you need to set a filter on each dimension (class in the Universe). Once I did this, I was able to get data.

Issues with charsets from NUC ERP system to UC BI System

Hi guys
We are actually in the process of Upgrading and Unicode Migration for BI and ERP Landscape
BI Landscape is the first stage so we are facing an issue with char sets
ERP system generates a plain txt file which is later pick up by BI system to run a chain process.
This plain txt file, contains Spanish Special chars which are causing the issues.
I have found a note which converts file at OS level from one code page to another code page
Is there another more transparent solution, like forcing NUC ERP System to generate the plain file in a format which can be read by UC BI System

Help Needed re:Spry Tooltip and render issue with XP

I have an issue with spry tooltip and XP not sure why ?
Here it is I am designing/building a website for a restaurant, I am making use of the spry tooltip on the menu page as a rollover for a larger menu image to appear, which it does. Everything is cool in Vista etc. but if you are using XP for some reason the rollover effect only works once and then no more until the page is refreshed which is really annoying and certainly not the effect i am looking for. I know this is occuring because of this line of code :-
<meta http-equiv="X-UA-Compatible" content="IE=EmulateIE7"> which I need to keep in.
Does ANYONE know a quick fix ? or ran into this problem before ?
I am sure the attached .JS file is the key to fix.
Thanks in advance
Andy....!

This is one of those situations you may need to see to believe,
whats happening is only on an XP IE8 browser which the ******** client is looking at (what are the odds)?
On newer systems and other browsers NO problem:-
You bring up the menu page and mouse over spry triggers and it works PERFECTLY, but only ONCE when you try again the cursor flickers as the trigger is engaged and nothing is revealed? I am sure the spry is working but somehow it is being hidden from rendering correctly as if trapped behind another image or on a delay, and then when you mouse off maybe 500ms later the image flickers into view and dissappears almost instantly. (an obvious error of some sort)
This only occurs when I place this source code in the head tags:-
<meta http-equiv="X-UA-Compatible" content="IE=EmulateIE7">
Without code works fine, but I need to include this code for it to look as it should cross browser.
Ask me anything I will help as much as I can but right now I am at a loss !
Thanks in advance
Andy....!

Issue with load from livecache

Dear all
In our APO system we have encountered a strange issue with data loaded from livecache into the infocube.
Problem is in the infocube, where there are two requests with a forecast version data with the same amount of data.
When I look in my infocube in APO I see e.g. the two following request IDs for a given product:
REQU_4CZ4SQ5PSM9V5PHJCHTIS24GK is the most recent load from Livecache (replacing any previous livecache loads).
APO_R43U3KZLM0V3WVK112YEK3KKLE cannot be located. It is not available on the infocube manage section
Ultimately this results in double data for this given product.
Do any of you have an idea as to what this APO_* request could be triggered from?
This is the input from the BW-team:
This indicates that an APO program has modified the infocube data without updating the request tab of the manage infocube. But it has updated the request id of the data which is transformed. With subsequent loads into the infocube, these records are split based on different request idu2019s, and loaded collectively into BI.
I hope you can help me out.
Best regards,
Anders Thinggaard

Hi Visu
It seems I made a typing error in my description of the problem. It is of course the DESTINATION combination, not the SOURCE combination, that is written into the infocube when realigning on the infocube.
This, of course, creates the request ID starting with APO. Besides that I get the request starting with REQU when I load from livecache using an infopackage. So far so good.
What confuses me though is that when I load back into livecache (load my planning area) is seems to pick up the correct amount of data (not taking the APO* request into account) whereas my load to my external BW out of my APO infocube seems to pick up both the REQU* and the APO* requests, resulting in dublicate data.
Have you had this challenge as well?
My first idea is to make the BW team make some ABAP coding leaving out any request ID starting with APO*. However it seems to me that this is a stardard functionality of APO, and I'd like to get to the bottom of this...
Best regards,
Anders
P.S. As I understand, the copy logic only dertermines whether data from source combination is added to or overwriting the data for the destination combination.

I have made a short 1 min movie, and have rendered it. I want to download to youtube, but when I try to export using quicktime conversion, it shows render issues wherever I have text. Once I get cancel out, it shows no render problems.
When I remove the text, the render problem still remains. I can export with quicktime, but not sure youtube will allow this to be downloaded.

Sending footage from Color to Final Cut problem

Hello guys,
I am shooting 7D video so I transcode everything to Apple Prores (progressive).
Then.. I edit in FCP and send it to Color. When I finish coloring I send to FCP again, and then I export my timeline to a quicktime video. MY HUGE problem is that whenever I color correct my footage in Color..using the workflow I just described, the final quicktime file becomes interlaced!!!! If I avoid doing color correction in Color I dont get this problem.
Any ideas???
Thank you very much.

Could you 2x your sequence settings in FCP? Make sure it's a prores progressive at the start of this process.
Also, you're just exporting a QT 'full' (or reference) - not a QT conversion, right?
