Some ProRes clips are off when XML sent to Color

Hey guys, I have a timeline which I have tried exporting an XML and also using "Send to Color" but having an issue with both methods. My timeline is a mix of ProRes 422, AIC codec, 1080P scaled to 720P and 720p native footage. Alot of the footage is RED footage which I have rendered to 720 and 1080 ProRes. I also have HDV footage which has been captured in ProRes and AIC. The RED ProRes footage and HDV footage in AIC I am having no problem with. It's ONLY the HDV which was captured to ProRes. When I pull the timeline into Color, all the HDV ProRes footage has slipped for some reason. I can't figure out why the HDV ProRes is doing that. Everything about it seems to be right. In fact, the only difference I can see between the RED ProRes and HDV ProRes is that the RED stuff is at 7.2mb a second compared to 6.8mb for HDV.
Does anyone have a clue why this is happening and how to fix it? I've got Color 1.51.
Thanks,
Matthew

You haven't mentioned anything about the base framerate of the project.
How did you transcode the media?
And while mixing codecs, resolutions and frame dominances on a sequence sent to COLOR is not strictly speaking an open invitation to disaster, it is the next best thing.
COLOR does not look at source time codes for its I/O points. It calculates those by counting frames from a known point (usually the beginning of the source clip way back there in your Capture Scratch directory, for instance) and making an educated guess about that based on the project frame rate.
That's one of the reasons why keyframes are not successful on speed adjusted media.
There also could have been some kind of error built in on the transcode, where the HDV i-frame could have been misinterpreted.

Timeline Saying Clips are Offline, when Browser Shows Clips to be OK

I have a few clips in my timeline that fews the OFFLINE WINDOW. Yet when I check my browser, the clips have no offline slash and can be seen as edited in the canvas. How do I make the clips show normally on the timeline. Also clips are trying to show the actual clip photo, bu only show half. And yes I have tried reconnecting the media, does not work.
Thanks

Trash your thumbnail cache file... it's location is set in the Scratch Disk Settings near the bottom of the window if you don't know where you've put them... just trash them and the offline media thumbnails will go away. It's caused by opening a project file without the media online, then saving it. The thumbnails don't get rewritten with the proper pictures when you do that.

Flash CS4: why movie clips are static when exporting to video formats ?

Does anyone know why the movie clips are non animated when I export my flash animation into a video format ?
Please see the next flash example I made: (4 KB)
http://dl.dropbox.com/u/22717206/Flash/flash_movieclip.swf
And now see how it looks like once exported into video format: (160 KB)
http://dl.dropbox.com/u/22717206/Flash/Video_movieclip.avi

You must need a suitable codec for that like DivX codec, it will also import the nested movieclip animations. otherwise whatever you have on the main timeline is exported for avi. you will get the codec on the export settings for avi.

Problem with clip area occurred when table content is transited

Platform: JavaFX 1.2.1.
Hi all
Preface: I created my own table because the cell content should be not standart: buttons, progress bars, etc...and text as well.
There is no standart decision for this and simple there is no table control in JavaFx as well :) (swing JTable in a SwingComponent wrap
doesn't fix the problem - only combo box, check box, text box can be placed into a cell). So, I did the following: I created a sequence
of instances of the Group class. Each instance represents one cell of the table. I put a rectangle (Rectangle class) as a cell visualization
and other controls(buttons, progress bars, text, etc. as a cell content) to each Group instance (cell). All cells in the sequence are located
in rows and columns as in a usual table. and I put this sequence of cells to one common Group. The whole area of all rows and columns is large
so I use the clip variable of the Group class (common Group) and two scrollbars (vertical and horizontal) to transit the rows and
columns. It's simple thing as in a usual table.
Problem description: when I transit a thumb of a scrollbar (whatever horizontal or vertical) part of each border cells appear out of common
Group clip area, i.e. that part of each border cell (as on the left, rigth side of the clip area for horizontal scrollbar so as on the top, botton
side of the clip area for vertical scrollbar) that should be disapeared is appeared over other GUI controls located near this table. I tried to
use ClipView - the problem is reproduced as well. Screenshot here:

Some AAC files are truncated when iTunes plays them

When I had iTunes 6, I went through and converted all my MP3's to AAC using the Advanced > Convert Selection to AAC option. When I upgraded to iTunes 7, it stopped handling some AAC files correctly. When they play, they get almost to the end, then abruptly stop and the next song plays. Quicktime handles these files perfectly, and plays them through the end.
A. Why is this happening? (Are they encoded badly? I feel like this can't be the case, since I've only used iTunes to encode my files, and Quicktime handles them fine)
B. How can I fix it?

Actually, no I don't have crossfade playback on. The files cut out anywhere from 5 - 60 seconds before the file is supposed to finish, it really has nothing to do with crossfade...

URGENT- DOING MEMORIAL VIDEO sound and video are off when sent to iDVD

I watch the video in iMovie and the sound and video are in sync. When I send to iDVD, the two are no longer in sync. I have made changes to the iMovie project since my last DVD burn. With the initial burn, there were no sound issues.
I've tried all of the following:
1. closing and reopening iMovie and iDVD
2. resending from iMovie to iDVD
3. readding the clip and removing the original clip from the iMovie project
4. restarting my computer
The only things I have not done are the following:
1. redownloading the original video clip from my camcorder
2. recreating the project
3. trying a different project to see if that one has the same audio/video issue (this will be my next step)
#2 above is literally so intense as I have a lot of editing on this. To make it clear to you, I have video footage of a memorial.... and after the memorial I chose little 20-30 second clips here and there. I don't have audio with those clips -- just iTunes music overlay.... so, those I don't need to worry about sound coinciding.... just the 30 minute clip that is the actual memorial service.
This is time sensitive.... it is a memorial video and I don't have time to redo the thing from the beginning, especially considering how long it took me to find those 20-30 second clips of the post-memorial.
Please help!

Yes... I had seen that.... and, yep, have the latest software.... and even rebooted my machine thinking that maybe it hadn't been restarted since the update (can't remember how long ago the update was).
I did a test run with a mobile size (it takes over an hour when I share with iDVD, which has been annoying with all my attempts to "fixing") file sharing with media browser and still the sound was not matched.
I started another project alltogether in iMovie and it does not have the sound issue when sent to iDVD....
I can copy and paste the more difficult editing I did between the "bad original copy" and my "do-over"... but, it seems to not copy exact length of each clip (it decreased it by a second each clip on the ones I copied over but that is weird since it did copy over the slowed % I had on the original) ..... see the more complex editing I have has the sound silenced and I have music overlay on that....
I have many more to go... and can't copy text directly from one project to another... in fact, there is a lot you can't just copy over.... I have to redo the music, special effects etc. This is not going to be a walk in the park if I can't find a way to make my "bad original copy" work.
Still looking for more suggestions (than to start all over), but will have to start over if I spend too much time making the one I have work.... then it becomes more sensical to just start over. I have quite a bit of time in the original, but if I can copy and paste the clips, that takes a majority of the work out.... but, if any of my copy and pastes somehow "corrupt" the sound sync on the portion that isn't silenced and music overlaid, then, there is a lot of work having to recreate all my edits from scratch.

Why are my movie clips cut off when imported?

I am importing movie clips from my flip camera and only half the clip is being imported. HELP!!!

Are the episodes being shortened when you publish to a local folder and launch them in the browser as well as when published to the server? See this page under "Troubleshooting"...
http://www.iwebformusicians.com/iWeb/iWeb-Tips.html
If the local files are OK it would suggest the problem is on the server. Otherwise you need to troubleshoot iWeb.
If the problem is files that are too large, you can reduce the sampling rate and/or convert to mono if the content is mostly speech rather than music.

Some PDF attachments are corrupted when emailed using javamail

I have a java class that takes a file name, 'To' email, and 'From' email as parameters, and then emails the named file to the specified address as a Multipart email.
The problem that I am facing is that sometimes the PDF cannot be opened when it arrives because it is corrupt. I know that prior to sending, the PDF opens without issue, so the problem is in the code somewhere.
There are a couple of oddities here:
1) PDFs that get corrupted and PDFs that do not get corrupted are generated from the same source (Oracle Report), so I believe that rules out a problem with malformed emails?
2) If I compare the PDF before it gets sent to the PDF that arrives in my inbox using a hex editor (XVI32), the files are identical except that an extra character is getting added to the corrupt PDFs at the end of each line - hex '0A', which corresponds to ASCII linefeed. This indicates to me that maybe there is a problem with the way that the file is getting encoded when it is read. If I remove all of the 0A characters, the file opens correctly.
I believe that the code I am using is set up correctly, as I have looked at countless examples of this online to try to find my problem. Hopefully someone can point me in the right direction. Code is included below.

Normally pdf files are text, with any binary data represented as encoded text. If your pdf files
include raw binary data, JavaMail can be confused. JavaMail will try to guess what encoding
is appropriate for your data. If the data is mostly text, JavaMail will use quoted-printable encoding,
and will canonicalize the text lines to end with CRLF (0x0D, 0x0A). A 0x0D in the binary will look
like an end of line and will turn into 0x0D, 0x0A.
You can force JavaMail to use base64 encoding for your data, which will preserve the binary
data exactly, by using
attachFilePart.setHeader("Content-Transfer-Encoding", "base64");
after setting the content for the part.
Alternatively, you could figure out how to generate pdf files that don't include raw binary data.

Font Book on/off is confused (thinking fonts are off when they are on)

So my Font Book activates and deactivates font properly and other apps react accordingly.
Problem is the On/Off label next to each font inside Font Book. Font Book is completely ignoring the correct statues of each font. So it is stuck on a specific label. If a font is deactivated, and I try to activate, it works fine, BUT the label is stuck displaying 'OFF' instead of turning into 'ON'.
This seemed like a small issue, until i needed to deactivate a font that says 'OFF'! now I am stuck, since right clicking on it says 'Activate family' while it should say 'Deactive family'! Font book thinks its deactivated while in reality its activated!
i can activate but not deactivate since the labels are wrong and font book is confused!
Here are the things that i already tried: restart, check for damaged fonts, repair permissions, run iTools, run disk utility, deleting font book preferences.
Only thing that I have not tried is deleting all fonts, rebooting font book and doing everything again. (i have around 3100 fonts)
how do i resolve this? anyone else encountering this problem?

so after much research, trial and errors and several backups later:
Trashed the fb.db file in my ~Users > Gaith > Library > Application Support > Font Book folder.

Some ebay buttons are wrong when I specify visited site color.

I selected my own colors for visited and unvisited sites. I checked "use sysem colors" and unchecked "allow pages to use their own colors . . ." It works fine. But when I visit ebay, their "buy it now" button is messed up, like when a color photo in the news paper has the different colors misaligned because the paper shifted. In amazon.com the search boxes don't show, but if I hover I can use the boxes. They're just invisible, but still function. I wish I could send a screen shots.

If you disable "allow pages to use their own colors . . ." then you suppress background images as well. 
So any buttons and other elements that use background images can become invisible.
You can use the NoSquint extension to set font sizes (text/page zoom) and text colors on web pages.

Clips are getting distorted after rendering a color grade; any solutions?

I've been experiencing this problem as I've been learning to color grade. Once I have all of my layers set the way I want them (initial correction, color alteration, masking, and sometimes adding a vinette) and I go to render, my clip will become completely distorted. Is there any solution to this when it happens, or will I have to restart the grade completely? Could there just be something I'm doing wrong in my workflow? I'm open to any and all answers.

Pure guess, do you have set in preferences high quality in playback.

How can I make sure the relays are off on a 1324 module when it powers up.

We have an application using the SCXI 1324 module. When the module losses power the relays keep their state. The control program attempts to set all the relays off when it starts up, but the 1324 assumes the relays are off when it powers up and the CVI call to turn the relay off does nothing until I cycle the relay on and back off again.

OK, the 1324 is a terminal block. The relays in question are in the SCXI-1160 module.

How Adobe Premier Pro's linked video clips are ID in Bridge?

I just finished a FEATURE-FILM in HD comprised of 40 + different Adobe Premier Projects;
Obviously, at the end you end up with many video clips associated to manyAdobe Premier Projects (i.e.; one video clip could be being used by 17 Adobe Premier Projects), and some video clips are associated to none.
So this is the thing: I need to delete 5,000 + useless-not associated video clips, however, to make sure that I am not breaking any link, I need to know that they are, or they are not associated with any of my Adobe Premier Projects.
How does Bridge indicate that a video clip is or is not associated (linked) to an Adobe Premier Project?
Thank you in advance for your help

Have you tried posting on the Premier Pro forum?
A hint for future posts. If you do not get a response in a reasonalble time rather than reposting, just reply to it yourself with anything and it will be moved to the top of the list again.

Hi Graffiti,
Thanks so much for your resply. I am happy to say that the problem has been fixed by my customer updating her version of Adobe Reader 9 to the latest version. I had sent her a few suggestions on how to try to fix the problem including that one from info I had read on the forum etc.. and that was the solution that worked. I am so relieved that I was able to fix the problem and to answer your question the blank pages were only graphics no text but they were the only pages that the graphics took up the whole page. I thought that was strange and had her change a setting in preferences for printing large images a solution I read in the forum but it did not work.
