Set sequence to low res, chromakey and then render full res

I have a sequence (original footage is DV50) and I'm working with stills for background.
Everytime I do something, I have to re-render.
I'd like to set the sequence to a setting where I can put down all my assets, set ins and outs (with fades and stuff) and be able to get a good grip. Then I'd like to render at full resolution and make any necessary changes.
I'm experimenting with the "RT" button, but even when all settings to low, I get "Unrendered".
Any help is greatly appreciated!

4499x3301 is huge for FCP. That's way.
Are you aware of things like 'Option \' (Play every frame).
It plays every frame full res, but only on the speed that it can cope with. Saves you lots of renders (and thus rendertime and diskspace)
Or use QuickView (Option 8) on a part from in to out point. That makes it possible to see only a part of a clip that needs to be rendered.
Or when you need to view timing of moving objects, you can choose to use the wireframes of the images. With the desired clips selected in the timeline and the pointer being within the selection, press 'w', until you see the wireframes only. (Use 'w' once or twice again to toggle to normal view and normal view with wireframes).

  • How do i change  ringtone volume to ring with low volume first and then gradually increase to the max volume ?

    how do i change  ringtone volume to ring with low volume first and then gradually increase to the max volume ? this feature was available before but is  still available now ? this is for IOS8 running on Iphone 5c.

    I've never been aware of a function like this in the past. You could create a personal ringtone that would last 30 seconds or less and set the volume on that ringtone to do that with an audio editor, such as Audacity.

  • Can convert my files to a lower quality to edit, and then render it to get the full original HD?

    I have Adobe Media Converter (obvisiouly) and I need to find a way where I can lower the quality in the clips to make it really smooth to edit, and then render it in the original full HD.

    The better option is to update your computer hardware.

    Can iTunes be set to play only one song and then stop when the song is finished and not go on to play another unless commanded?

    If you uncheck all of the songs, they will only play if explicitly commanded. Command-click in a checkbox and they will all be unchecked. Command-clicking again will check the all again should you want to do that.

  • I have dell xps it runs at 3840 x 2167 and bridge lightroom and photoshop are unusable as the type is so small if win is re scaled to a low res the products still use full res and you canot see text can you help!

    I am about to buy the above products for home and a laptop I bought the high res laptop for editing photos and the photos look great on the display but I cannot use photo shop and lightroom
    has any body had this problem and is there a simple fix that I have missed
    taking the res down in the control panel reduces the res but does not effect the programme
    by the way the dell xps is great
    dave

    Thanks for the info I know that there were problems with the high res
    I am using the latest photoshop and bridge from the cloud but only using the trial copy at the
    moment  
    I will look closer and try to scale it to a suitable level
    thanks dave

    There is that pitfall in buying HiDpi laptops for Windows.
    Only Photoshop CC 2014 has the option to scale the UI 200% in order to make it usable on these hires screens.
    CC and earlier does not have this and Adobe would have to retrofit them. Not likely with older products.

    Make an appointment at an Apple Store to have your device examined by a technician. That will cost nothing and you will then know what the problem is and what alternatives you have for a fix.

  • After Effects wont render full res - possible RAM issue?

    Not sure if this has ever come up before - I'm unable to render out of after effects and RAM preview half res. When I try and RAM preview the comp just goes black and when I send it to render I get the following message:
    After Effects warning: Logged one error - "error Rendering while writing to file. An output module failed. The file may be damaged or corrupted(-1610153464)"
    I'm able to RAM preview half res okay, and can render out half res as well. I've tried it with rendering multiple frames simultaneously on and off, clearing the disk cache and turning off any RAM hogging effects.
    An obvious cause I've identified is that I've recently upgraded and replaced the RAM on my machine, however, after effects has been the only software effected. Cinema 4D renders no problems and I've had no other problems with the general running of my machine.
    Have there ever been any cases before of After Effects not working with certain types of RAM? 
    My set up -
    Mac Pro - Early 2008
    OSX Mavericks 20.9.2
    2 x 2.8 Ghz Quad-Core Intel Xeon
    16GB 800MHz DDR2 FB-DIMM
    250GB Samsung SSD

    I'm running After Effects CC 12.2.1.5
    Sorry should have mentioned, no matter what format I render as, whether it be QT or TIFF sequence, I still get the exact same error.
    QT version i'm using is 7.6.6
    In terms of reproducing the error, it seems to happen to pretty much anything I try and render, unless it's an extremely simple one layer comp. Rendering a comp with 2 image sequence layers (1920 x 1080) will cause this to happen, but if there's just the one image sequence alone in the comp (and no other layers) then it will render.

  • Jumpy playback from image sequences rendered in Apple Prores and then exported to h264

    I will start by saying I have been using FCP since 1.0 and am in no way new to this software, but this issue has me going crazy.
    First the Specs:
    MacPro 2 x 2.66 Quad cor Intel Xeon
    16 gig Ram
    OS 10.9.2
    FCP 7.0.3 (sorry but I am not a fan of FCP10 at all)
    In other words, a beast of a system that has played back everything I have ever built on it for years until now. So now for the issue: I work with an amazing 3D Max builder and we have created a building animation exported from that program into and image sequence ( we have tried JPG, TGA and PNG still all with the same effect). I open Quicktime 7 Pro, build the image sequence, save as .mov, import into FCP and drop it into my 1080p30 Apple Prores (HQ ... we also tried SQ) timelines. The timeline renders perfectly and I can play the video perfectly through my system out of Firewire 800 to my Motu V4HD device which then converts the signal to HDMI to my 55" LED TV. The video and playback is perfect.... until:
    If I try to play back the same exact time line into an exported video file, the file will play back with random jumpyness in it. I say random since you can play it back 10 times and it will hiccup during playback at different spots in the video. If you review every frame in the file though using Quicktime 10, 7 or VLC viewer, every frame is perfect. So, it must be the data rate right? Wrong. I have exported now to H264 MP4, M4V, MOV , ect, etc at different data rates from 4mb to 40 mb per second. They all have the same randow jumpyness to it. So it must be my computer right? Nope. I have a Macbook pro that is more powerful than this machine and I rebuild the file using the same method (something I have done a thousand times before) and the exported file does the same thing on that machine. I had my friend do it on his machine... same thing. ERRRR....
    We have even tried using After Effects and Premier to the same result. Rendered it straight from Quicktime Pro, same. Rendered it to 720p30, same. Render it to 24fps, same. I had another editor render it using whatever methods he wanted to use... same. Tried Compressor, SAME.  Tried Adobe Media Encoder, SAME......We even, god forbid, used a PC running Premier and built the image sequence and rendered to h264 at 30fps, 5mbs.... @#$@#$ SAME!
    We just remade the 3D Studio Max export into a 60fps animation since I thought that the individual frames we appearing too far apart and thus causing the jumpyness. That was causing the playback of the upclose objects flying across the screen fast to appear jittery, but not the random playback jumps. The 60fps did smooth out the animation greatly during fast flybys, but the playback jumps are still there in all players, QT, VLC, the web, etc.
    I was starting to think this issue is realted to Mavericks, but since the PC did the same thing that is not it either. I have linked a sample of the clip below exported to 720p30, 25mbs... something that is much smaller than the original and should playback smooth very easily on any of my systems.
    FYI: I have now opened numerous projects I have edited over the last few years and noticed that all of them are now jumpy, so this isn't just an image sequence issue. While the other projects don't use image sequences and instead are shot footage edited together, there is still the random jump (far less than the image sequence as you will see) but they are now there... ***? I have cleared preferences in FCP which helps for a short period of time, but once exported I get the same glitch.
    As I said... I am stumped... ANYONE have ideas for me to try?
    Here is a sample file for you all to see and please tell me if anyone does not see the issue after playing it several times in a row.
    www.media3lv.com/switch/NORTH-sample-720p30_25mb-sec.zip
    One last thing to note... my main goal for these videos is YouTube or Vimeo playback via our company website. I have a few other animations online right now using YouTube and the problem is also showing there. At first I thought it was just my videos, but I have looked at numerous YouTube videos now showing 3D animation and alot of them are jumpy.
    www.supernap.com/supernap-building-design.html
    www.supernap.com/supernap-tscif-exchange.html
    These don't show the issue as bad since the camera fly is much slower, but why is this occuring and is it coming from my source, or is this a known youtube issue? I can program this using out own modules, but YouTube and Vimeo allow for multiple resolutions and a checker script which makes it easier to share over all devices at all quality up to 1080p.
    Advice is welcome and appreciated?

    I have tried at actual, full screen, using 1080p30 size from the original compressed to 4mbs (something my system can handle without blinking), 720p30, etc. etc. etc.  Nothing stops the jumps. Even the activity monitor shows only 5%-15% processing being used by QT and/or FCP.
    I plan to pull my old G5 out of the closet, it runs 10.6.8 and is still rock solid for video editing in FCP7.  If it plays smooth on that 8 year old system then I know it's Mavericks. I'll try that tonight. It floors me though why the original 1080p30 will playback perfect via FCP and Motu, but once I turn of external monitoring and just try to play it via the preview monitor it is jumpy as **** and then the exported file does the same thing.  So strange.  I even deleted prefences of FCP and that does help with screen playback initially, but it always gets jumps in it after playing for a while.
    I knew I should not have started using Mavericks and I HATE FCP10.

  • Restore DB from backup with move - need to set to single user mode first and then reset to multiuser?

    Im going to restore a recent backup from a production server DB to a test server DB and I want to do it through tsql.  The DB already exists on the test server, I just want to overwrite it with a fresh copy.  There may or may not be some activity
    on the test server that is connected to the database, but its not important and can be abandoned/discarded.
    This is what Im getting ready to do
    First, get an idea of what the file paths are specified in the backup file
    RESTORE FILELISTONLY FROM DISK = 'file_back_to_backup here .back .dat etc'
    Then, set the DB to singleuser mode, and discard any connections/transactions currently started
    ALTER DATABASE MyDBName
    SET SINGLE_USER WITH
    ROLLBACK IMMEDIATE
    Then, do the restore, specifying the paths to the mdf/ldf files that already exist.
    RESTORE DATABASE MyDBName
    FROM DISK
    WITH MOVE 'db logical name' TO 'new data path .mdf', MOVE 'log logical name' TO 'new log path.ldf';
    Questions:
    (1) If I specify the data and log file paths as ones that already exist, will they be overwritten?  This is what I want, as I just want to copy the prod db over to the test server.
    (2) Do I need to explicitly reset the DB back to multiuser mode, or does this happen after the restore?
    (3) Anything missing from the above script(s) ?  Suggestions?

    1.Just restore the backup with REPLACE command and it will overwrite the current database.
    2.No , database will be automatically put to Multi user mode if you are restoring with recovery
    3. Single user script is fine .Change restore script like no need to use with move option
    restore database db_name from disk='location' with replace
    Please mark this reply as the answer or vote as helpful, as appropriate, to make it useful for other readers
    I think I will still need WITH MOVE, as the files in the backup are using a different path than where they are located on the test server, correct?
    RESTORE DATABASE MyDBName
    FROM DISK
    WITH MOVE 'db logical name' TO 'new data path .mdf', MOVE 'log logical name' TO 'new log path.ldf' WITH

    Hello Creative Cloud Illustrator Community:
    Help Please!
    This is with regard to creating a compound path:
    I have set some white type on a circle and then created outlines. I then placed the outlined type on a black stroked ring which I then selected "outlined stroke." I then put both "outlined" graphical elements on a separate solid bkg. (all 3 are on the same layer). Lastly, I then selected the top two elements and went to "make" a "compound path" (because I want the type to be the "holes" so I can see through to the background). However, the only effect I get is the white outlined type turning black (the same color as the black ring). What am i doing wrong? I can achieve the desired result with simple boxes but it won't work with a circular type path, a stroked ring and a solid bkg.
    Any help on this would be greatly appreciated!
    Thank You!

    Thanks for the response Jacob.
    Unfortunately, I tried your suggestion with no success. BTW, minus front is now Subtract. Apparently, by clicking option>subtract, it works in the same way as minus front. I tried this to no avail.
    Let me reiterate please.
    I have 3 graphic elements-all on the same layer:
    1. Background: Gold circle with a fill and no stroke.
    2. Middle: Black ring (Stroked) inside gold background circle.
    3. Top: White copy set on a circular type path and placed directly on top of middle black ring.
    Both the middle black ring and top type path HAVE BEEN CONVERTED TO OUTLINES.
    LASTLY, I select the Middle and Top, go to Compound Paths and choose "Make" and my white copy turns to black. Wrong!
    WHAT I WANT TO HAPPEN: I want the white copy to become HOLES, so the GOLD background shows through.
    Any solutions would be very much appreciated!

  • Aperture and D90 - no full res files

    I downloaded yesterday's update to support the D90 file format and Aperture now displays the Nefs in the main window except it thinks all my full res images are only 256*172 pixels ... ViewNX sees them correctly at 4288x2848. I am shooting NEF+basic.
    Anyone has seen the same problem ?

    Hi,
    Aperture doesn’t automatically apply the Raw update to the D90 NEFs already inside the Aperture library. Newly imported NEFs from the D90 should be displayed correctly at the right resolution.
    To get Aperture to use the new Raw converter select all the D90 NEFs and then choose the menu File > Migrate Images.
    (See page 145 in the Aperture 2 manual for a better description of what to do).

  • Why is Time machine making a few incrementals and then only full back ups?

    Is there anybody out there using Time Machine and Time capsule with a laptop? After 3 weeks I am extremely frustrated!
    I made an initial full back up and everything went well for a couple of days. Then one day and I think it was after I took my laptop away on my return it started making a full back up again (takes 8 hours to do so). I let it do its thing, thinking it might for some reason not be feeling comfortable with the gap in between or that perhaps it had been at some crucial phase in its backing up and I should perhaps have stopped it making the incremental back up when I took the laptop away. So, after that I tried stopping the back up when I needed to go away. Same result: Next time I open my laptop a full back up starts.
    Last Tuesday when I wanted to restore something I discovered it had not made any back up's since Sunday. Only reason I can think off the fact that I had been out of the house most of the time and perhaps hadn't connected to the time capsule long enough for it to do its thing. Yesterday I had a full back up finishing at 12.54pm, then I had incrementals until 5.54 pm and then suddenly (I did not move or close the laptop) at 6.54 it started on a full back up. I stopped that back up at 7.15 because I needed to go somewhere, but started it again at 10.30pm when I got back. I left the laptop open, but this morning it had not got any further than 5. something gb.
    I should probably start all over again, but if I don't know what I am doing wrong I can see myself end up in the same pickle again.
    On Tuesday I did have another interesting thing happen that may or may not have anything to do with it: I closed my laptop and opened it again and all the settings of anything that is connected through time capsule to the internet had gone as well as the content of my inbox.
    Anybody any ideas?

    TM recognizes that the drive is different, so it will want to do a full backup. I believe there may be a workaround listed here:
