Sequences with different attributes

I am editing a wedding and decided to brek up each major portion. I now have four sequences. When copied sequence two into seguence one, the footage from sequence two. The canvas size was the same at 50%, however the image size from sequence two ws very small in the canvas. The same happened with my other sequences.
The purposes of putting joining the sequences was to put the whole project together. What did I do wrong? Am I not supposed to copy and paste from sequence to sequence?
Please advise.
The easy setup is set to DV/Panasonic DVCPro

Lots of moving parts, but never say never. From what you indicate in your last post, at least part of the material is HD.
You want to do at least two things: get everything into a single editing ceodec (AIC), and conform the clips/sequences to a common frame rate. Same frame size would be nice, but not as important as the codec and rate.
I think your best approach would be to choose the format (size and frame rate) that the majority of your movie was shot in and create a new project and an AIC sequence with those settings. Then you could export your four finished sequences, conform as necessary and reimport them into your project as clips. You would finish and export as QT, current settings (AIC) and you'd have a movie file that could be re-purposed for DVD, the Web, projection, mobile, etc.
If you are able to buy ($49) and learn Compressor, it can do this very well. If you intend to do these sort of projects fairly often, the tool would be worth the investment of $ and time.
The other way would be to export using Quick Time Conversion.
Of course, there's always the option of starting all over and re-importing the footage…
It's been a while since I worked with FCE, amd perhaps someone else will chime in and point out some options that I'm over-looking.
Good luck.

How can i create a .mov file from image sequence with different durations

how do u create an image sequence with different durations? image one stays for 10 seconds and image two may stay for 30 and so on. each one has a custom duration. can this be done with an apple script or a text file saved as an mov file?

Hello Omar,
The example code Programmatic Printing of TestStand Reports - Modular contains a sequence that will convert an XML file to an HTML file given the XML file's path and the path to the stylesheet. It may need to be altered to fit with the modifications you have already made to the report generation routines, but I think it should definitely get you off on the right foot. Let me know if you have any questions!

Two sequences with different settings?

In Premier Pro CS6, is it OK to use two sequences with different settings?

Yes, no problem.
You can make as many sequences with differents settings as you want.

Dynamically calling sequences with different prototypes

Hi,
Is there a way of dynamically calling from one sequence call, two sequences with different prototypes?
Thanks,
krs

I know that this is not really an answer to your question, but could you write some sort of wrapper to the different sequences that has a common interface and call it?

Same Sequence# with different applied value in v$archived_log

Hi everyone,
I have an issue with one of the dataguard servers here.
Basically, looking at the v$managed_standby, it is still applying the latest archived log sequence.
However when I checked for unapplied archived log from v$archived_log, I found at least 1 sequence# which was quite old (around a few days old) not applied.
my query to check this is:
SELECT sequence# from v$archived_log where applied = 'NO';result:
SEQUENCE#
    40154
    40546with a different query I found an interesting result
select sequence#, recid, stamp, status, applied from v$archived_log where sequence# in (40154, 40546);result:
SEQUENCE#      RECID      STAMP S APP
    40154       8093 777156019 D NO
    40154       8095 777156053 D YES
    40546       8486 777673729 D NO
    40546       8487 777673734 D YESAt the time I ran this query, the v$managed_standby are as follow:
select process, status, sequence# from v$managed_standby;result:
PROCESS   STATUS        SEQUENCE#
ARCH      CLOSING           40562
ARCH      CLOSING           40557
MRP0      APPLYING_LOG      40563
RFS       IDLE                  0
RFS       IDLE              40563A simple solution to get those un-applied archived log to be applied is to restart the standby database instance.
Another finding from the production database:
select recid, stamp, sequence#, creator, registrar, standby_dest from v$archived_log where sequence# in (40154, 40546);result:
RECID      STAMP SEQUENCE# CREATOR REGISTR STA
45446 777156011      40154 ARCH    ARCH    NO

46233 777673733      40546 ARCH    ARCH    YESThe question is of course, why is this happening?
Can this be prevented?

Even if old archives applied or not, it will keep transfer the archivelogs from primary. Please confirm that you been executed above query in standby.. is it?Yes I ran it from the standby database

How many remote/standby destinations you have in your DR setup?
Might this query you have executed in primary, You should always use DEST_ID when executing from primary (or) do check in standby database, Because the applied column you have to check in standby , If you see above the same sequence showing applied in one destination & not applied on other instance, so please do select for dest_2 or in standby.I have only 1 standby destination.
The query above was executed in the standby database server as well as to show that the same sequence# has different result in the applied column.

This issue happens when Network glitch while transferring archives from primary to standby RFS , So when is big enough in such conditions it will be in status can be WAIT_FOR_LOG.
BTW, which redo transport you are using? -- recommended to use LGWR
Is there any network problem?
check for exact problem either from primary alert log file or from below query,
SQL> select severity,error_code,message,to_char(timestamp,'DD-MON-YYYY HH24:MI:SS') from v$dataguard_status;
SQL> select sequence#, to_char(completion_time,'DD-MON-YYYY HH24:MI:SS') from v$archived_log where sequence# in (40154, 40546);
HTH.The redolog file size is 100MB and so does the archive log file size.
I'm using LGWR ASYNC
these are the result of the query which I modified slightly:
query:
select severity,error_code,message,to_char(timestamp,'DD-MON-YYYY HH24:MI:SS') from v$dataguard_status where message like '%40154%' or message like '%40546%';result:

CS6 - multicamera sequence with different resolutions?

Hi,
I try to edit a multicam sequence with footage of the RED Epic (3840x2160) and a DSLR (1920x1080).
We shot an interview with two cameras. The final video will be FullHD. So we use the RED footage to generate two shots. A down-scaled and a cropped one.
Normally I use the RED footage in the non-cropped shot by (sorry my Premiere is German) "scale to framesize". So the 3840x2160 will be autmatically scaled down to 1920x1080.
When I use the "scale to framesize" to the multicam sequence also the DSLR-Footage will be shrunken.
So either the RED footage is too big or the DSLR footage is to small for the sequence. And I don´t wanna transcode the RED footage to FullHD cos i want to crop it sometimes, and I don´t yet know when. Is there any help?

No. The footage is made fine by the operator. But we want to do some crops sometimes to get another shot. 2 cameras -> 3 shots. So i don´t want to scale it down right now. Scaling down would help to cut the 2 cameras without another cropped shot. But the cropped shot is a planned shot. We did that many times, but never with the "comfort" of the use of multicam.

Separate Sections of a Sequence with different encoding settings

Hi!
Is it possible to set different encoding settings for different parts of a Final Cut sequence? If yes, what must I do?
Take care,
Christian

All I want to change is the quality setting of the h.264 codec.
It's all about the movies you will find at:
http://www.teachers-corner.org/feeds/TC_RSS.xml
(beware, large files)
All these movies start off with an intro, which needs a quality setting of 75% to look good. The rest of the screencast looks good enough with a setting of 50%.
All other parameters shall remain unchanged.
Did that help?
Take care,
Christian

Illustrator saving vectors with different attributes than assigned prior to saving

I am having a problem whenever I save a document in Illustrator.
Near the edges of the page, I am placing a few rectangular vectors filled in only with black.
When I save the image as a .pdf, two of these get changed.
One on top, and one on bottom, at the exact same x placement.
Prior to saving, they are all completely identical with the same attributes.
I even deleted the old ones, replaced them with new ones, which I copied from other marks that were not messing up, and saved the .ai file as a .pdf again, but to no avail.
Please help as I have no idea what to do to fix this.
I have tried unchecking save as an illustrator editable file, save with layers, etc.
Any advice would be greatly appreciated.

BeeHiver wrote:
Well, I believe that it is simply the way that adobe was displaying it, because if I zoom in on the .pdf file, the added thickness disappears.
The same thing happens when I have the letter I in text, not sure why this happens, but I no longer think it is an issue.
That letter 'l' looking thicker is a known issue with a PDF file... as you've noticed, it clears up when you zoom in and also, it doesn't print like that...

Creating dynamic Text in Flex with different attributes

I am creating a Text field in Flex that looks like this:
<mx:HBox id="lastInfo" styleName="InfoBar" width="100%" visible="false">
 <mx:Text text="Your last question was:" styleName="underlined"/>
 <mx:Text id="lastQuestion" styleName="bold"/>
 <mx:Text text="Within context:"/>
 <mx:Text id="lastContext" styleName="bold"/>
 <mx:Text text="The last answer(s):" styleName="underlined"/>
 <mx:Text id="lastAnswers" styleName="bold"/>
</mx:HBox>
The text that is not dynamic needs to be underlined. The text that come up dynamically needs to be bold.
lastQuestion, lastContext and lastAnswers are populated dynamically. The problem is that if lastAnswers width goes beyond the threshold of the HBox it doesn't carriage return back to the beginning of the complete string.
How can I create this complete string dynamically and with underlines and bold text all into one Text so it will carriage return to the beginning?

Hi Cootis,
Now I understood your question but the approach you are using is not correct I think because in order to format the way you wanted you need to use only a single <mx:Text/> control and assign the htmlText dynamically.
See the sample code below:
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<mx:Application xmlns:mx="http://www.adobe.com/2006/mxml" layout="absolute" creationComplete="init();">
<mx:Script>
<![CDATA[
private var lastQuestion:String = "What is your name.";
 private var lastContext:String = "Your name";
 private var lastAnswers:String = "John John John JohnJohn JohnJohn JohnJohn JohnJohn JohnJohn JohnJohn John";
public function init():void
 variableText.htmlText = "Your last question was:" + lastQuestion + "Within context:" + lastContext + "The last answer(s):" + lastAnswers;
]]>
</mx:Script>
<mx:HBox id="lastInfo" styleName="InfoBar" width="450" visible="true">
 <mx:Text id="variableText" width="100%" />
</mx:HBox>
</mx:Application>
So you need to pouplate the variables dynamically that's it.
Hope this works for you.
If this post answers your question or helps, please kindly mark it as such.

Sequence of the Attribute

hi,
i'm build a XML with JAVA. In this XML are some TAGS with different attributes. These attribures nust be in a specified sequence. But JAVA order them always in alphabetic order.
<R f="4" sf="3" t="6"> must be <R t="6" f="4" sf="3">
my code:
Code:
Element R = root.addElement( "R" )
.addAttribute( "t", "6")
.addAttribute( "f", "4")
.addAttribute( "sf", "3");does someone know if this is possible? And how to to this?

The XML Spec says that the order of attributes is not defined and you should be able to accept them in any sequence. If you want to make sure they are in a specefic sequence because that is what a program that processes them wants, you are free to write your own serializer that puts them in an order that makes your other code happy.
However, any program that is using XML processing routines (as opposed to reading a file of XML content with your own program) should not care what order the attributes are in. Also, if someone is telling you "Give me an XML file and by the way, the attributes must be in a specific sequence" you should have them read the spec.
Look in
http://www.w3.org/TR/2004/REC-xml-20040204/#sec-starttags
where it says: Note that the order of attribute specifications in a start-tag or empty-element tag is not significant.
You will get nowhere if you try to raise this as an issue to the people who maintain any XML-supporting code. The spec says you should not care.
It is pretty easy to accept the attributes in whatever sequence you get them, save them in something like a HashMap and when there are no more, you process them however you want.

How can I use two sequences w/ different frame rates

I shot wedding (on Sony Z5) initially (1st tape) in DV widescreen (29.97/ 30 fps) but tapes 2, 3 & 4 were shot 1080p24 fps Big mistake; now obvious.
Edited all in FCP 6. On trying to cut & paste sequences together I get " cannot nest sequences with different editing timebases".
I have 23 min.intro/ ceremony sequence as stand alone QT mov now. How can I best convert that and/or merge it w/ the rest ( 62 min. 24 fps sequences), or perform other action to unite the diff frame rates into one, w/ best looking quality for the DVD/ bride & groom? Trying to beat Xmas deadline...
Thanks in advance! Happy Holidays to all.
3 Ghz Intel Core 2 Duo / 8 GB / OS 10.6.8 FCP 6.0.6

I went back and forth on this.
Ordinarily, I'd conform to the format that the majority of the footage was shot in. But if you're going to DVD, and it's going to be compressed to 480 anyway, then why not down convert the 1080 footage to 480?. At the same time, I would imagine re-timing the 24 (23.98?) to 29.97 would look reasonably consistent with the 29.97 SD.
This could be done in FCP, but I think Compressor will produce a better result. The adjustments you need are in the Settings menu in the Encoder (with Audio set to pass through), Geometry (720x480 16:9 Anamorphic), and Frame Controls (Resize Filter set to Best).
This will not be a short encode, so I would first test a short section to double check your settings and sound sync are right, and to compare against the quality of tape 1.
Good luck.

Calling a sequence in a new thread with different values

I have a sequence that I want to call that runs in parallel (seperate thread). The question I have is that I want to run this sequence from a lot of different places, but with different values of the variables going into the steps inside the sequence.
If I change the values inside the sequence (running on seperate thread), then I will have to duplicate this sequence over and over. What I really want to be able to do is run a step in a seperate thread, and not wait for it to complete. Is this possible? Or a method of passing step values into a seperate thread. I don't want to use globals unless I really have to.

Hi ADL,
I have attached an example which I hope will illustrate an answer to your question.

Multi UUT with different Sequence-Files

Hi,
We are upgrading our teststations from TestStand 4.2 to TestStand 2013. With TestStand 4.2 we have copied and modified the Sequential-Modell to a Multi-Dut-Modell (10 UUT's). This worked fine. To start the Modell-File we used a Start-Sequence-File. We have to linearize 10 Rf-Sytnheseizers (each UUT has a different Sequence-File, with different Limits). With TestStand 2013 it is not anymore possible to Run a Modell-File .
Actually I would also like to copy and modify the Batch-Modell from NI. But with the Batch-Modell-File always the same Client-Sequence-File is used for each UUT.
A short description of the Tasks:
Loading all UUT’s: Identification of UUT’s (PartNumber, Serialnumber manually or with a Barcode-Reader) (Sequence-Filenames, and Limits for all UUT’s are read from a Database)
Testing UUT 1 with SeqFile1, Saving Measurements of UUT1 To Database
Testint UUT 2 with SeqFile2, Saving Measurements of UUT2 To Database …
Showing Result-Panel with all UUT-Results
Showing Reports for all UUTs
We don’t have parallel taks. What is the best way to realise these matter? Thank you very much for your inputs.

Paul,
First, I'm not exactly sure what you mean by this statement: "With TestStand 2013 it is not anymore possible to run a model file". Could you explain a bit more about what you mean? I can't think of any changes we would have made in TestStand 2013 that would affect the types of sequence files you could call or their interaction with a process model.
Second, it seems to me that the best approach might be to create a separate sequence file for each type of UUT you want to test, and call sequences from these files from one master sequence file. So for example, you might have 3 files:
1. TestStand "master sequence file" which uses the Batch model and includes the necessary callbacks and sequences to identify UUTs and perform actions that are needed for all types of UUTs
2. Sequence file for UUT type A which contains all of the tests for that type of UUT
3. Sequence file for UUT type B which contains all of the tests for that type of UUT
In this example, your master sequence file could make the decision of which type of UUT it is testing, and use a Sequence Call step to call MainSequence in the appropriate other sequence file.
Do you think this type of approach would work for your system? I'm not sure how you were architecting it before, but if there are any other factors that might have an impact on this type of solution, go ahead and post that and we think of some alternative approaches.
Hope it helps!

How to edit with different formats of clips

Hi, I am sorry to as this question, I should know the answer but just ain't sure. I am making my reel and I have a bunch of stuff that is dv dvcpro NTSC and that is what the sequence setting is set to. 29.97 compressor is DV DVCPRO-NTSC. However, I have some footage that is DVCPRO HD 720P60.
When its in the timeline the preview sure makes it look awkward, quality loss. What is the right thing to do here. Also, all my NTSC footage is 4:3, but what does my FC sequence register it as a NTSCDV (3:2) and not NTSC 4:3. Although it looks fine, I just want to understand my timeline settings. Thanks and hope to hear from someone.
Also, can anyone point me in the right direction to learn how to deal with editing footage with different frame rates. For ex, some 29.97 footage, 23.98/24 Thanks
Nat

HI Swarup,
thanx for the response.
i did the same thing...i imported 2 different versions into xi and used in mapping.and interface is working fine.
what i am concerned is : will there be any problem in future while transporting to different environments?
and why it is showing 'segment version' in attribute in Trace in sxmb_moni....
any inputs will be help full....
Thanx in advance.
regards.
