Saving correctly in FCP

Im having a silly dumb issue in saving in FCP.
I do a SAVE PROJECT, quit and when I reopen the file I loose all my work that I have done.
I have to reopen a autosave file and do a SAVE PROJECT AS over the old current
file to get back to where I was.
Why isnt my SAVE PROJECT not working?
Do I have to do a SAVE ALL or what, I dont understand why SAVE PROJECT doesnt ever save my current work in whatever project Im in, usually one
project at a time.

Hi there
In addition to what I said previously there are some other golden rules IMO.
renders, capture to the external drive (you can of course use an extra internal drive and gain big performance)
(NEVER capture to your system drive though)
make sure your drive is formatted OS extended ..some drives come pre formatted FAT32 (PC) when you buy them. deep format them with disk utility as OS extended (no journalling)
Personally I wouldn't bother with a backup media drive, unless you can afford it, I'd prefer to have a system drive backed up and media which can be re-digitised (note. always use log & capture rather than capture now)
Install some (shareware) mac utilities and put them on a usb drive for when things (inevitably) go wrong
my basics would be
YASU
FCP rescue/FCPattic
lastly, never update your software mid - project!!

Microsoft Outlook 2010 The delegates settings were not saved correctly. Cannot activate Send-on-behalf-of list. You do not have sufficient permission to perform this operation on this object.

I am trying to assign delegation to a user and I receive the following message.
The delegates settings were not saved correctly. Cannot activate Send-on-behalf-of list. You do not have sufficient permission to perform this operation on this object.
We are using 2010 for the server and client. There are only specific mailboxes that this is happening for after being migrated from Lotus Notes. The user can use their mailfile fine however it is just the delegation that appears corrupted somehow.
I'm not sure how to fix this. I have checked the access through the security tab in ad and that looks fine.
Any help would be appreciated.

I did some more digging and I solved it.
This would be the solution:
In Active Directory Users and Computers
-Click on VIEW
-Click on ADVANCE FEATURES (this is important otherwise you won't see
the complete list in the next steps)
-Click on the USERS container
-Find the problem user's account
-Right mouse the account and click on PROPERTIES
-Click on the SECURITY tab
-In the top box, click on the SELF account
-In the bottom portion of the screen make sure the READ PERSONAL
INFORMATION & WRITE PERSONAL INFORMATION should both be checked for
ALLOW
If you can compare the permissions for 'SELF' with another user you probably should set them accordingly to be safe. I noticed that for the user where setting delegates (SOB) did
not work, more than those 2 permissions were missing.
Good luck!

Interaction Centre: Survey not saved correctly

Hi,
We are using SAP CRM 5.0 Interaction Centre. While creating a customer feedback transaction with survey in Interaction Centre, following is the observation:
1. We open the customer feedback transaction, enter the mandate information in the details tab and save the transaction.
2. Then navigate to questionaire tab and fill-in the survey questions and save the survey.
3. Navigate back to details tab and save the transaction. The survey and the transaction are saved correctly. Instead, without navigating back to details tab, when we try to save the transaction from the questionaire tab, neither the survey nor the transaction is saved.
Recently the application was upgraded from SP15 to SP16.
Please provide your inputs in solving this issue.
Thanks in advance.
Regards,
Venkat

Hi Hongyan Shao,
Thanks for taking your time to answer my issue.
Actually we have two issue in this
1.When users press the End button, ideally, the current screens should be closed and default screen of Accoutn Identification should be shown.
This does not happen.
Actually, nothing happens when users press the End button.
Users cannot click on anything else too and the screen seems to be frozen.
Users have to close the IC session and relogin.
2.And one more issue is when user ends call by click on end button it goes to account identification but Name of the account still be there on top left top side where it shown account name. but it allows agent to take another call and create service ticket.
Please note that we are using CTI( Avaya phone)
Now since these two are an intermittent issues, i do not have reproduction steps.
Thanks and regards,
Teja

Hyperlinks not saved correctly in PDF and Excel

Hi,
I have a few reports with hyperlinks to other reports that contain multiple input parameters, which makes the links very long. ( greater than 400 characters )
When the reports are saved as excel, I am unable to invoke the child report on clicking the link as the link is not saved entirely ( can see that when i try to edit the hyperlink in excel ). Therefore the child report opens but prompts for inputs as not all the inputs are passed
When saved as pdf, the link is not saved correctly and i cannot invoke the child report at all
Please can you suggest a solution/workaround? Alternately is it possible to disable the hyperlinks when saved as excel/pdf?
Regards
Sameer

Hello,
I think this is a limitation in Excel where URL syntax has to be 255 characters or less
In order to prove that it's coming from excel and not BO, try in excel to create a false hyperlink which contains more than 255 characters.
A workaround might be to modify the cell as text and will not be recognized as a URL. So you should get it entirely.
Please let me know if it helps you

Outlook error "The Delegate settings were not saved correctly. cannot activate send-on-behalf-of list. The operation failed"

Hi,
Re: "The Delegate settings were not saved correctly. cannot activate send-on-behalf-of list. The operation failed"
I have a client who is getting the above error when attempting to change delegate permissions in Outlook 2010.
She is also getting this error when she tries to remove a delegate.
I have tried recreating her mail profile.
I have also tried kb2593557. The auto fix didn't work at all and the registry fix only removes the error message and not the problem. This client would like to be able to edit her delegate permissions.
She is on Exchange 2010
Any assistance would be appreciated.

What am I doing wrong here? Vids look correct in FCP but not in Quicktime..

Hi,
I have a few quicktime movies that I made a long time ago. I have dragged them to my hard drive and they look great and play exactly how I edited them in Final Cut Pro. However, when I open them in Quicktime or try to play them into any other format (Flash) they appear wider.
Now I am confused as it appears every movie I have ever saved seems to be distorted when I play it in Quicktime.
Are there some settings within FCP or Quicktime that I am not aware of?
Are both programs accurately playing what is recorded?

I am having this exact same issue. My sequence is 352x288 the video looks great in FCP but every time I Export this sequence straight out through QuickTime (not QT Conversion or Compressor) self-contained and using the current settings it plays back in QuickTime as 720x480 (640x480) millions in DV format. I even tried to force the export to a customized setting with the 352x288 frame size and it still plays back at 720x480 making the video look fuzzy and stretched. We've already spent a few hours testing other options with no success.
Oh and what's odd is if I open the same exported file in FCP's Viewer the size is correct and when I view the exported file's info (Apple+I) it says Dimensions: 352x288. Codec is DV/DVCPRO - NTSC. One thing I just thought of while typing this is would changing the codec make a difference since the original footage is 720p from an HVX200 camera? If I should change it what should I change it too?
The viewers will be watching this in QT Player. I'm using FCP7 and QT7 also tested with QTX with the same results.
Any idea is better than none, thanks!

Headings not saved correctly. Difficult to fix.

I opened a saved draft. When the file was saved, all headings were styled Futura LT Medium. When I opened the file, they had all changed to Lucida Grande in the document, though the styles themselves are still Futura LT Medium.
Further, I tried to correct it three different ways.
Select all uses of <style>, Revert to Defined Style
Failed because: Revert to Defined Style is greyed out when all uses are selected but works on individual headings.
Select all uses of <style>, use font drop-down to specify correct font
Failed because: font drop-down has no reflect (after selecting a font, it still displays empty and no fonts change).
Select one heading at a time, Revert to Defined Style
This works, but it's immensely time consuming. This is a 13 page report with many headings.
Eventually, after fixing a couple headings and wanting to be sure that I can save and reopen it without it reverting these changes, I used "Save a Version" and then quit Pages entirely. I reopened the document. The headings all appear to have spontaneously fixed themselves, but when selected the style shows a red triangle down arrow and can be Reverted even though this doesn't appear to change the heading in any way. So somehow Pages has corrected the headings but still thinks they deviate from the style.
What on earth is going on? Is this some kind of Pages/OS X Lion bug? Any advice or work-arounds?
Edit: Corrected second to last paragraph because it was not accurate.

Sounds to me like you have altered the template but haven't captured the changes to the master pages.
When you are inserting new sections they are coming from the original master pages with the old style.e

Photoshop CS6 - Spot channels are not saved correctly in the psd files.

Hi,
I'm using Photoshop CS6 and something happent a few days ago....some Windows or Adobe update messed up everything...I don't know...
Here's how things are.
If I add to an image a couple of new spot channels (any Pantone color) and remove the informations from the CMYK channels (or not-the problem it's there anyway), I should have an image with 6 color plates (CMYK and the 2 Pantone). It doesn't happened anymore...
I'm using Corel to print the files and the previous saved files are fine, I have all the Spot colors there. Now, If I edit any file I've worked on before, and save it again, the spot colors dissapear when I'm importing the psd file in my Corel document. And if there is no information on the CMYK channels, I'm getting a blank image...
I hope someone will give me some ideas because I don't know what to do anymore...
Codrut

Right. It's not reading these new saved files correctly. The old ones are fine.
I forgot to mention one thing. I've got this CS6 as an upgrade and I still have the CS5 one running on the same computer. The CS5 version does the same thing...
Today I tryed again to open a PSD (CS6) with another CS5 version from another computer and came with an error message "Could not complete your request because the specified color book cannot be found". And the file didn't opened....
Who messed up my color book and how can I fix it?

Saving issues with FCP 5.1.4

I have recently been finding that when I save my work only some of it is saving. For instance, Thursday I added a bunch of work to my sequence and things that I did earlier in the day did not save but things that I did later on in the day did save. There is no clear reasoning to me behind the things that are saving and those that are not. Some transitions, new footage and new audio saved. While on the other hand some new audio, transitions and new footage were lost. The same thing happened on Friday when I finished putting all the changes that were lost back in and saved, I opened it today and it was gone again. Even the autosave files only have some of the new work in it and not everything that was done.
I am also finding that the black and red designated for "media offline" is appearing on my video clips in my sequence. They are not offline though. And one some of the clip images the black and red only covers parts of the clip image in the sequence. But they still play fine. It never indicates when playing that the files are "offline." I have even tried to create a new project and sequence and copy and paste everything into the new project.
Any suggestions?

Are you sure that you haven't change the name or location that you are saving to... in other words, is it possible you saved multiple copies of this project with different names?
As for the "black and red" image in the timeline, sounds like the clip may be offline, but FCP is still connected to and playing back a render file. You might try deleting the existing render files and Render Cache.
If the weirdness persists, you might also try trashing FCP Preferences. Download FCP Rescue to help with this. First time you use it, backup, then trash preferences, do not restore.

Saving Files on FCP 6.0.2 and XSan

Hello All,
We're running into very frustrating issues as we are trying to save and open Final Cut Pro project files. We are currently using an XSan with ACLs set up to store FCP documents and related files. The six workstations aren't directly attached to the SAN, they connect via GigE to AFP shares (not an ideal solution, but it's what we can afford right now). It should be noted that our setup is currently using the "Golden Triangle" of directory services (AD user accounts and groups).
In December we upgraded our XSan to version 2 (which was a nightmare in itself), and all of our clients were upgraded to 10.5 with FCS2. After the upgrades, a few issues have arisen:
1. When a user attempts to save a FCP project, sometimes they receive the error message that the file is locked. From what I read on apples support site, this is due to permissions-- a file cannot be saved by one person, and then opened and saved by another. If the ACLs set on the folder reflect the groups that have full access to the files in which the project resides (recursively), why is this an issue? Or is this just another case of bad execution on apples part?
2. After concluding a "Save As", most of the time the alternate project file is able to be opened. We've run into several instances, however, when the project file is a very small size (16k or so), and gives the error message "Unable to open project file".. and it's pretty much trash. In these cases, the autosaves are behaving in a similar manner, being a very low size and not opening.
So my question is, does this all sound like permissions issues.. or is there something inherently wrong with the XSan at this point (e.g. corruption)? How are other people using XSan volumes in conjunction with FCP 6.0.2/FCS2 to edit and store files? Perhaps we're going about the whole setup the wrong way..
Thanks for your time and any advice you can provide..

Hi,
Thanks for taking the time to reply.
We have six producers.
Each producer has their own storage folder on the SAN: Producer 1, Producer 2, Producer 3, Producer 4, Producer 5, Producer 6. Each of these folders are located in One sharepoint called "Producers".
So we have one main producer, Well call Joan Smith. Joan has full access, recursively throughout her folder, which is producer 1. Joan has interns that work for her, who use an account called pro1edit1. Pro1edit1 has full access to Producer 1's folders as well, recursively. Joan and her intern never work on the same project at the same time from two different workstations. Each project is edited by one and only one user from one workstation.
Either Joan or her intern logs into the Mac (using either Joan's username/password, or the intern using their generic username and password [pro1edit1]). These accounts are AD Accounts. After a login, OD sends MCX policies to the clients (such as auto-mounting the AFP share points ["Producers", for instance] with their username and password). The user browses to their folder. If they create a new project, the create a folder with the project name. They then open FCP and set the settings (scratch, etc) to point to that folder. They save a project file with the name of the project within this same folder, keeping everything as one general "package" in the folder. For instance: /Volumes/Producers/Producer\ 1/5-Minute-Piece/FiveMinutePiece.fcp. All of the other folders are also located in here, scratch disks, autosaves, captures, etc.
When the user is done, they save, close final cut, and quit.
The next say, either Joan or her intern come in to do some work on the project. They log into one of the workstations, and they open the file. They conclude some edits, and upon trying to save the file they receive the error message that the file is locked. They then save the file as an alternate filename. Sometimes this works. Sometimes it says it saves it fine, but the next attempt at opening the file yields the error that the project cannot be opened. Upon inspection of the file, it's about 16k in size.
Using Producers folder/sharepoint, the permissions are as follows:
Producers:
<AD Domain>\grpStaffProduction: Allow: Read Only: This folder. *
<AD Domain\grpProEdit: Allow: Read Only: This folder. **
<AD Domain\grpProduction: Allow: Read Only: This folder. *
<AD Domain\grpEditAdmins: Allow: Full Control: This Folder, Children, all descendants. [inherited]
<AD Domain\grpDomainAdmins: Allow: Full Control: This Folder, Children, all descendants. [inherited]
Local Administrator: Allow: Full Control: This Folder, Children, all descendants. [inherited]
POSIX:
admin: RW: This Folder
staff: R: This folder
Others: None: This folder
Using Producer 1 (within the above folder), the permissions are as follows:
<AD Domain>\JoanSmith: Allow: Full control: This Folder, Children, all descendants.
<AD Domain>\pro1edit1: Allow: Full Control: This Folder, Children, all descendants.
<AD Domain\grpEditAdmins: Allow: Full Control: This Folder, Children, all descendants. [inherited]
<AD Domain\grpDomainAdmins: Allow: Full Control: This Folder, Children, all descendants. [inherited]
Local Administrator: Allow: Full Control: This Folder, Children, all descendants. [inherited]
POSIX:
admin: RW: This folder.
staff: R: This folder.
Others: R: This folder.
+* This group is used for another producer folder. This allows AFP to mount the share, and for the users to see their producer folder.+
+** This group is used for another producer folder. This allows AFP to mount the share, and for the users to see their producer folder.+
+* Joan, all other users in production, and their interns are apart of this group. This allows them to mount the AFP share and see which folders they have access to.+
So that's some more detail on our permissions and general workflow. We're up for suggestions. I appreciate your response!

Text layers not saved correctly as PDF from PS?

I frequently save layouts I do in Photoshop as PDF's. Lately I very often will discover the text does not display correctly in the PDF. One or two lines of text will display as white with a thin black outline, rather than as the basic solid black I'd specified.
I work on a Windows 7 machine with the current version of PS. The text is on layers when I save the file to PDF (from PS), but I do not include the layers in the PDF, so they should be flattening down.
Any ideas why this happens? I noticed a few weeks ago when it was also doing this that I updated the program a day later and the PDF's were not exhibiting this issue. But, now it's starting again. A big timewaster for me.
Thanks for any suggestions offered.

Text doesn't flatten until you tell it to. In fact that may be the problem here - you are telling the PDF maker to not retain vector text and when it tries to flatten, some layer style or something else gets in the way. Try to play with the PDF options. also manaulyl flatten the document in PS before saving to PDF...

Why is my text not saving correctly in Acrobat Pro XI?

I use Adobe Acrobat XI Pro. When I use the add text function, everything shows up correctly. I save the file and close it. Later on, when I open the saved file, some of the text (especially capital letters and symbols) show up as little boxes with an X in them. I have to highlight, cut, and paste everything in order for the text to show back up. Once it happens one time, it usually does not happen again. However, if I open up a document, fix the boxes, add additional notes, those notes then turn into boxed Xs the next time I open the document.
How do I fix this?

Edited photos not saving correctly

Sorry about the name. I am new to this program and I tried to join for an hour without success then my hubby took over!!! Now to my serious headache causing problem. After editing photos I saved them to my folder exactly as Adobe Help suggests, in Jpeg format. I can see them in my folder but the icon is blank and Properties suggest they are File format and not Jpeg. What am I doing wrong and how can I correct it...please?

Can you try an experiment.
1. Open Full Edit by clicking the edit button on the welcome screen.
2. On the menu click File à Open
3. Then open one of your images that has not been edited previously
4. Make a quick edit e.g. on the menu click Enhance à Auto Levels
5. Then on the menu click File à Save As
6. In the save as dialog click the dropdown for Format
7. Choose jpeg from the list and save.
Let us know if that is working OK.

Touchpad sensitivity not saving correctly

for some reason in system preferences when i try to change the touchpad tracking speed...it doesnt get saved if i put it on a certain level. it saves correctly on highest, 2nd highest, and 5th highest.
if i try to save it on 4th highest sensitivity, and close and reopen system preferences, then it gets saved as 5th highest instead of 4th.
if i try to save it on 3rd highest sensitivity (the one i want) and do the same thing, the sensitivity gets saved as 4th highest

Hi Jilian,
The first thing would be to confirm this unexpected behaviour by yourself doing some tests. Indeed evenif you trust your user, the sentence "a user who says..." is not much to start a debugging process.
Then if it is confirmed, you should check on which list it is happening. My first idea is for example if you update the "deliverables" list, if the PM changes back the deliverables values to the former values from Project Pro, the develirables list in Sharepoint
will be updated back to the old value.
I would also recommend to activate the versioning on those lists, so you can ensure that nobody changes back the list item to the old value.
Finally you could check the user profile of the 2-3 users that encounter this issue, and eventually recreate it.
Hope this helps.
