Single field text glitches with Motion templates in FCP6

I've set up some templates in Motion for use with FCP6. The templates are straps and end boards with text over a moving graphics background.
Occasionally when these templates are used one piece of text glitches, a single field flick to the right of about 20 pixels, whilst the rest of the text is ok. it's always at the same point in the animation, about 2sec in. The graphic is stationary text over a moving vt background, so no "comedy keyframes" going on.
This also happens on strap templates, which are similar. This time the glitch occurs if you cut between two straps (an edit, not a blade cut) in which case the incoming glitches.
Any ideas??

The situation you describe does not seem normal. It should not take nearly that long to render and export your 3:30 movie. Considering that your mac is not one of the most recent vintage, and your are editing in full HD, one could expect it to take a bit of time, but nothing like this.
In the way of troubleshooting, you could try and export just one of these 10 second segments.
I have no way of knowing for sure, but I guess that it might export in a much more reasonable amount of time.
I suspect that memory may be running scarce, which, as has been repeatedly mentioned in these fora, is a problem affecting many of us using FCP X under Lion. You mentioned you used "purge" in the Terminal, but in such a long render you might have had to do it repeatedly...

Looong render times with motion templates

I've been a big advocate for FCPX as there are a lot of great features but there are some things that are just killing me, no.1 render time.
I'm working on some simple presentation edits using motion templates I have built in motion 5 and published to fcpx. The templates all consist of a single dropbox for video with a type field for test messages next to it. These are against a flat white rectangle used to reflect (similar to the coverflow but against a white background) and a subtle camera sweep has been added so it slowly turns from one side to the other by 30 degrees. Each of these is 10 seconds long.
I chop up my imported movie on the timeline (untouched by grade/fx/retiming) and add the template to each of the chopped clips. I then select each applied template in the timeline and use the video well to select the clip below it for the dropzone. I add my text. That's all good. I now have a timeline approx 3 minutes long consisting of these motion graphics templates.
Now, if I chose to either render or export a QT with timeline settings, estimated time is 8 - 9 hrs (I have tried both) I left a 3:30 project exporting last night at 11:45. It finished at 9:00AM.
That is just unacceptable. It is irritating because the functionality of building the sequences in FCPX far outweighs what FCP 7 is capable of but the so-called "renderless" abilities of FCPX
are making life ****.
I use Event Manager X to turn off everything I am not using except the individual project. I have reset preferences in Preference Manager to see if that helps. I have purged using terminal. I have my clips on an external firewire 800 HD. I have no other software running. I accept I need a more powerful Mac - I'm using a 2009 3 Ghz Intel Core Duo iMac with 6gig ram using Lion 10.7.2 and FCPX 10.0.2 but 9 hours for a 3:30 clip?
Any suggestions for where I can cut down on render time are appreciated. The source clip for the video for the dropzones and the final exported presentation movie are HD ProRes.
Cheers

How to export movies with Single Field option on with QuickTime Pro?

Hi,
I've got a rather problematic video file with MJPEG encoding in it. I've been able to save the original AVI into another QuickTime mov-file. Where I thought the deinterlace would help me to get rid of the horizontal lines in the picture, that option didn't work this time. Instead, if I use the Single Field option, I get at least a smooth picture.
But when I try to export this to another mov-file or any other format for a smaller file size, I never get the smooth picture to stay. And in the resulting files the interlace "effect" can't be removed even with that single field on again!
I'm using QuickTime Pro 7.6.6.
Anybody with a solution?

Where I thought the deinterlace would help me to get rid of the horizontal lines in the picture, that option didn't work this time. Instead, if I use the Single Field option, I get at least a smooth picture.
It's my understanding that these QT 7 Pro options are "playback only" property settings utilized by the QT Player and do do not have any effect on the export/re-compression of interlaced content. Have you tried exporting directly to a progressive codec option/setting in QT 7 Pro, tried the motion adaptive deinterlacer in MPEG Streamclip (free) or the JES Deinterlacer (free), or used the "decomb" filter option in HandBrake (free) to see if any of these approaches are more suited to your needs?

FCP7.0.3 crashing with Motion template on Snow Leopard

Have upgraded from a Leopard from the 2009 MacPro install of Final Cut Studio3 to Snow Leopard on the current Westmere hardware with the same Final Cut Studio 3 application. The Motion Templates in the FCP application are causing application crashes. Need help what could be the cause!

Excel cells appear garbled; either multiple values in single field or problem with redrawing of the cells.

In editing a simple, new Excel 2013 file, I am seeing certain cells with multiple, overlapping values in the a single cell. This is in the A-column so, not a matter of margins. Specificially, in one cell, I had "Design", then replaced
that text with "Reqt". Now I see the word "Reqt" written over "Design". when trying to delete the values, I can remove the "Reqt" value, but the "Design" value will not disappear/delete.
I've tried saving and reopenning the file with no effect; problem persists. Makes me think this is a corrupted .xlsx file, even though I just started from scratch 15 minutes before the problem arose.
I appreciate any guidance (or bug submission) you can support.
V/R,

I have successfully inserted seven records in one form submit operation by looping through the command object execute method.
However, the data that is being inserted by the command object is repetition of the first record and the command object is not taking any data from the text boxes for the second record onwards. In this I had used the isert record behavious generated by DW CS4 and modified it to suit my requirement. However, the data inserted in the first row is getting repeated in all the seven rows.
Please help.
Also advise if there are any free dreamweaver server side validation extensions available.

Motion Template

I'm having problems with Motion Template in Final Cut. I've recently changed computers and have discovered that I can't open up Motion Templates in my viewer. It appears as a black screen. I edited the original program using a Mac Book Pro, Motion templates playback very well. After switching computers (Mac Pro) I'm not able to render out or playback these Motion Templates. My only guess is the graphics card. Final Cut Pro recommends an AGP or PCI Express Quarts Extreme. Here are the specs on my system:
Mac OSX version 10.5.3
Processor: 2x266 GHz Dual Core Intel Xeon
Memory: 5 GB 667 MHz DDR2 B-DIMM
Graphics: NVIDIA GeForce 7300 GT
Everything else plays back very well. Have also updated software. it the graphics card? Any thoughts?

The template appears fine in Motion. I loaded it to my sequence and right clicked and opened it up in Motion. I played back fine in Motion, I just can't get it to play back in Final Cut.
What are your thoughts about the graphics card? The very first laptop I had was a MacBook. We had Final Cut Studio loaded on it. I had the same problem where Motion Template would not play in Final Cut. We went to a MacBook Pro and the Motion Template played back fine. Now, I have a Mac tower with more hard drive space, and the Motion Template does not playback. Any other thoughts? Thanks.

Capturing video in Imovie - single field processing (again...)

Hi!
Let's start by saying that I've read a number of threads already on the 'single field processing' issues with iMovie (08 and up). What's not really clear to me yet, is at what stage (during capturing, editing, exporting, etc.) this single field processing is introduced in the process.
Let me explain my situation:
I'm in the process of digitizing my families old home video VHS recordings, I've purchased a Canopus ADVC55 and a JVC HR-S9500 VCR (with TBC). Both are correctly connected to my iMac via Firewire. I have iMovie '09 and Final Cut Pro X. Sadly no iMovie HD, seems hard to find...
"Use Final Cut Pro X for capturing" I hear you scream, but I'm having great difficulty doing this, FCPX continually crashes during video capturing. Also, the sound has a strange 'clicking' when captured (the small bits that do import before FCPX crashing). I don't have these issues while capturing with iMovie 09.
So my idea was to capture the video with iMovie 09 and then import the .dv file with FCPX as a new event. My concern however is the single field processing that bugs iMovie. Can anyone confirm (or deny!) whether every other horizontal line of the video is thrown out during video capture already or not before the movie file is assigned to a project and used for editing? In other words, would my way of working (capture in iMovie, import in FCPX) leave me with the best possible quality or do I really need to look harder for iMovie HD (or fix the problems I'm having with capturing through FCPX)?

I have found that I can import in iMovie 11 witH no loss for DV. My camera does not work for FCPX since FCpX wants to import from a DV camera with time code, and my consumer level camera does not have time code.
I have found that in Final Cut Pro X, I can use the File/Import iMovie Events command and bring all events into FCP.
This may take a while. I recommend running it overnight. When it finishes, close FCP (may take awhile). Then restart your Mac.
When you restart FCP you will find all your iMovie Events available to FCP and it will not use much disk space.
This is because FCP will reference your iMovie event through a Hard Link (much like Time Machine) so you can have two apps referencing the same physical file in different folders.
I had, for example, a 1TB drive with 850GB used. After importing my events into FCP X, I might have 852 GB used, because it does not double u p the dv files, but it does generate thumbnails and analysis files.
Another advantage of doing it this way is that FCP will not import DV Stream. It needs DV stream to be converted to a mov file with separate (not muxed) audio and video tracks. You can do this in Compressor, but it is a pain if you have a lot of files.
However, if you import from iMovie, FCP handles the DV Stream just fine.
Pretty slick!

Does rendering Motion Templates in FCP use the GPU?

I know that FCP when it comes to rendering relies almost completely on the CPU, but when Motion Templates are involved, does it somehow use Motions rendering system and involve the GPU? I only ask because i'm getting stupidly slow rendering times with Motion Templates in FCP, and i'm wondering if a graphics upgrade will help.
Many Thanks in advance.

Multiple Text Boxes Populating a Single Field

I need to create several select lists in a form that can each populate the same field in a table, but obviously need for the select lists in the form to be mutually exclusive so that the user can only enter data into one of them.
There is also a field on the form displayed as a radiogroup, and I would like for the user's selection on this radiogroup to dictate which one of these multiple select lists they use to enter this data.
Before I do any of this, however, I guess my first question is, how do I create multiple text entry fields on a form for just a single field in the table?

hi brice--
if you're coding your form page manually, you'd simply add your extra fields to your page definition and conditionally diplay and use the values you needed. i'm guessing you're asking about wizard generated forms.
you can associate multiple fields with a single database column on your form by simply adding the extra ones you need and conditionally displaying/processing the ones you need. your other questions sound like javascript ones to me. if it were me, i'd take a look at our javascript how-to document at...
http://otn.oracle.com/products/database/htmldb/howtos/htmldb_javascript_howto2.html
...and find the specific javascript i needed from google.
hope this helps,

I created a form with Single Choice fields, 4 days with times listed. But, I want the user to only be able to choose one time, and the time chosen to be unavailable for other users. How do I do this?

I created a form with Single Choice fields, 4 days with times listed. But, I want the user to only be able to choose one time, and the time chosen to be unavailable for other users. How do I do this? I have 4 blocks of Single Choice fields in order for the summary page to give me each day in the final report. But, I need the user to be able to make a selection of any day and time and that apointment to no longer be available to future users when they log in. Plus, when the user clicks on the time, they are unable to change their mind and choose another time. Here's the link if you want to see what I'm talking about: 2015-2016 Workload Apportionment Review

I'm afraid not. It's not rocket science but you need to do some coding.
You'll need to find a script (php) and save it to your local site folder. Then reference the script in your form's action attribute like so.
<form action="path/form-to-email-script.php" >
The input fields in your HTML form need to exactly match the script variables.
I'm assuming you're hosted on a Linux server which uses PHP code. Linux servers are also case sensitive, so upper case names are not the same as lower case names. It's usually best to use all lower case names in your form and script to avoid confusion.

Displaying data from a list into a single field with comma separated values

Hi,
I have a requirement to change a report with an XML structure (simplified version) as below
<Protocol>
<ProtocolNumber>100</ProtocolNumber>
<SiteName>Baxter Building</SiteName>
<ListOfActivity>
<Activity>
<Description>Communication Memo Description.</Description>
<Name>James</Name>
</Activity>
<Activity>
<Description>Visit 4</Description>
<Name>James</Name>
</Activity>
<ListOfActivity/>
</Protocol>
On the report I need to display all the 'Names' for each of the Child (Activities) in a single field at the Parent (Protocol) level, with each Name separated by a comma.
How do I go about getting this to work?
Thanks

Take a look at this: http://blogs.oracle.com/xmlpublisher/entry/inline_grouping
You could do this (ofcourse, you will need to add extra logic to ensure that there is no comma added after the last name..)
<?for-each@inlines:Name?><?.?><?', '?><?end for-each?>
Thanks,
Bipuser

How to validate for non-english character on a single line text field

carácter
Vijayaragavan, MCTS

Hi,
According to your post, my understanding is that you wanted to validate for non-english character on a single line text field.
I recommend to use jQuery to attach regular expression validation. Please refer to:
Using #jQuery to attach regular expression validation to a #SharePoint list form field
In addition, for custom validations you can create your own Types. Refer to
this[^] for creating custom field type

Is it possible to create DVD Templates with Motion for burning Blue Ray DVDs from Final Cut Pro X?

Is it possible to create DVD Templates with Motion for burning Blue Ray DVDs from Final Cut Pro X?

As far as I know, motion templates can only be used with DVD Studio Pro. FCP X only lets you add a background image to the DVD menu.

My new iMac with FCPX crashes when rendering complex templates and crashes when exporting with Motion 5

My new iMac with FCPX crashes when rendering complex templates and crashes when exporting with Motion 5
Using Motion 5.0.6 and Final Cut Pro X 10.0.7 on New iMac (December 2012) Mountain Lion,
Intel Core i7 quad-core a 3,4GHz, Turbo Boost fino a 3,9GHz

During the rendering of complex FCPX mac crashes and I have to force a restart.
I also happens when I try to export movies with Motion 5.
Does anyone have the same problem with my new iMac?

Problems such as yours are sometimes caused by files that should belong to you but are locked or have wrong permissions. This procedure will check for such files. It makes no changes and therefore will not, in itself, solve your problem.
First, empty the Trash.
Launch the Terminal application in any of the following ways:
☞ Enter the first few letters of its name into a Spotlight search. Select it in the results (it should be at the top.)
☞ In the Finder, select Go ▹ Utilities from the menu bar, or press the key combination shift-command-U. The application is in the folder that opens.
☞ Open LaunchPad. Click Utilities, then Terminal in the icon grid.
Triple-click anywhere in the line below to select it, then drag or copy it — do not type — into the Terminal window:
find . $TMPDIR.. $ -flags +sappnd,schg,uappnd,uchg -o ! -user $UID -o ! -perm -600 -o -acl $ 2> /dev/null | wc -l
Press return. The command may take a noticeable amount of time to run. Wait for a new line ending in a dollar sign (“$”) to appear.
The output of this command, on a line directly below what you entered, will be a number such as "35." Please post it in a reply.

The text box with place holder text in my master is uneducable in my template. How can I fix it?

I'm very new to InDesign.
I just created a master based on a page design I liked by drawing its page icon in the layers panel up to the master icon at the top of the panel. Later I applied the master to a blank page in the same document by selecting the page in the layer panel and option clicking on the master page icon. It worked and I can fill the photo frames but the text areas are uneducable. When I go to the layers panel and open the layer with the text it's blank, however when I open the same file in the master, it's filled with text boxes.
How can I add text boxes with placeholder text that is editable?

Master pages themselves can't be a template, but any file in which the master page is used can be a template, just by saving as such. Templates can contain much more information, though, than just master object placement, including styles (very important), color swatches, and multiple pages. You can even have content on the document pages in a template file, and if you are doing placeholder text, it might make more sense to put it on the live document page than it does to put it on a master page.
Master pages are best suited to content that will appear on multiple document pages.
