Sound at beginning of slide gets cut off after publishing

Hi,
Any idea why a perfectly good slide might have just the
beginning of the sound consistently cutting off the beginning of
the slide? It didn't happen in Preview, but now it's happening
since I've published it to the Web.
Also, I found when playing it in Safari on a Mac this morning
that suddently the audio got ahead of the slides, then paused, the
slides slowly caught up, and then started syncing again. Any idea
what might be causing this?
Bob

Rick,
Once again, a huge help. I would never have thought of daisy
chaining as the solution and after reading your link, I can see why
this is probably the culprit. I am wondering...I have a three
button "menu" early on that either continues or jumps to the end of
the slides to show a couple of short pieces, (about the author,
management tracking). I want to have all three accessible at any
point in the slideshow, so I'm wondering how daisy chaining them
might effect this, if at all. Could someone in the third part of
the daisy chain easily jump back to the first? Or instead, should I
move the short pieces into the first piece? I guess I'm wondering
if daisy chaining allows the broswer to unload the previous ones to
free up memory, and therefore not allowing the user to access the
earlier pieces. Thanks again. You've been a great help...and on New
Year's Day at that!
Bob

HT5622 Hi, My IP5 when I answer it at home makes this googling sound and the person ringing gets cut off or cant speak.

Hi, My IP5 when I answer it at home makes this googling sound and the person ringing gets cut off or cant speak.
I have spoken to Virgin and their reply was if it does it again contact Apple.
Wondering if this is a common problen and whether the problem is with the phone or carrier. thx

Hey Bidja,
Thanks for the question. I understand you are having issues with calls on your iPhone 5. The following troubleshooting assistant may help to resolve your issue:
Apple - Support - iPhone - Calls Troubleshooting Assistant
http://www.apple.com/support/iphone/assistant/calls/
If you continue to have issues, see the following article:
iPhone: Sound muffled or low from the speaker or when speaking into the mic
http://support.apple.com/kb/TS1631
This article speaks of checking the top microphone for debris. On the iPhone 5, this microphone is located on the back of the phone near the camera flash.
Also, you mentioned this happens when you answer a call at home. I interpret that as it does not happen in other locations, is this accurate? If so, then it may be network related, and you'll want to contact your carrier. If not, the steps included above should help to resolve the issue.
Thanks,
Matt M.

Text / Titles Get Cut Off After 3 Lines?

I did some searching but couldn't find a discussion on this. When I add a Title of any kind and try to fill it with more words that fit on the screen (in vertical space) it just cuts them off at the bottom. I've attached an image that shows the third "wednesdays" text in my project and you can see it cuts off the bottom of the Y. If I add a fourth "wednesdays" you don't see it at all. Using the transform tool only stretches the text, it doesn't increase the vertical space available for more text. I am running Lion if it matters.
Has anyone found a fix for adding more vertical space for text or is this a known bug? Or am I missing something really easy?
Thanks!

You should turn on the TV Safe Area and make sure that everything that you care about is within this area. Anything outside the area is subject to the over-scan of TV sets.

Audio cut off after publishing

Hi,
We are currenlty experiancing the following problem with
Captivate.
For E-Learning purposes we import Powerpoint into Captivate
after which we add a voice over to each individual slide. After
publishing one of our captivate movies we noticed that the audio is
stopped before the end of the slide.
We checked the timing in the captivate file itself but there
is even 1 second of silence added after the audio stops, so there
should be no problem. When listening in Captivate to the audio, the
problem does not occur.
FYI. When importing the Audio file into Captivate we select
the option to extend the duration of the slide to the duration of
the audio file and we do not use fade in and fade out of the audio
on the slide.
Can somebody help us with this issue???
Kind regards
Erik

I am having a similar problem. I recorded a tutorial with
audio at the same time using an external mic. After I published,
the audio would play through about 5 slides then it would just cut
out. I'm not sure what you mean by add one second of silence to the
end of each slide - If I do that it will mess up the audio that
goes with the tutorial. Is adding the one second the only way to
get the audio to play consistantly? Would it be different if I
added the audio afterward?
Thanks for any advice.

Tape delay gets cut off in the middle of a project

I'm working on a multichannel 24bit, 48kHz audio project in Soundtrack Pro version 1.1.
I'm using WAVs as source material.
One of the audiotracks contains a short sample of 1 second, that has a Tape Delay effect on it with the feedback on 55%, so it keeps repeating for about a minute. At least, that's what is should do.
The problem is that it gets cut off after around 15 seconds.
This does not happen when I solo the track or some of the tracks.
I've converted the 24bit, 48kHZ source WAVs to 24bit & 16bit AIFFs, but this doesn't make a difference.
I found a work around, by solo exporting & importing the track with the delay on it, but this is not how it should be.
Has anyone had similar problems and maybe found a solution?
Thanks.
G5 Dual 1.8Ghz Mac OS X (10.4.9)

For everybody who has the same problem: I found a solution.
Soundtrack appears to end an effect abruptly after around 15 seconds when there are no new clips on the timeline in that track.
The solution is adding 'silent clips' in those tracks every 10 or 15 seconds for as long as the effect has to continue. Not very elegant, but it works.

Imported AVI files getting cut off

I'm trying to import an avi file into my captivate project
and it seems to be getting cut off. When I use the slidebar the avi
plays completely but when I do a preview or a publish it cuts off
about 8 seconds of the avi. Can anyone help? I've tryed this with a
few different avi files and the same thing happens. Your help is
greatly appreciated.

The default slide time for a Captivate project varies
depending on version and preference settings - but it sounds like
all you really have to do is extend the time-to-play for the AVI
object on the time-line (thus also extending the slide display time
itself), to allow the converted AVI enough time to open and
complete its play.
This will have to be a trial and error, probably, because the
time isn't displayed for the converted animation.

DVD video gets cut off, but preview shows dvd as good

Having a problem getting my video to output from dvd burning without getting cut off.
Computer is Win xp pro, 3gb ram, 2.33ghz cpu, 40gb free hd space
Using Adobe Premiere Elements 3.0.2.
I have video which I've recorded from my Sanyo xacti 720p avc camera, which records in mpeg4 format. I've converted the video(s) to mpeg 1,2 for dvd using my "Need4 Video Converter 5.9". At first I tried putting several mpeg1's into my premeire project, then I also merged all the video files into one, but still had the same problem.
I put the video(s) into my premiere project, added some titles on the other video track. Also added some music on another audio track. So, the total size of the videos is about 3.5gb. I preview my project it looks great, I added some dvd scenes and used a nice template with scene selection and captions..the works. Now I try to burn it several ways, to a dvd, to a file folder on high or low settings, but everytime I only end up with about 1.5gb of data, and 25 mins of video, so it is cut off. My original video is an hour and 50 mins.
The encoding takes about 3 hrs after I hit burn. No errors or anything.
So, I cannot understand what I need to do. I don't want to convert to a smaller or lower format, bcz I dont' want to lose quality. I'm at a loss bcz I've tried so many different formats and combinations, let this stuff run for so many hours this past weekend, and still can't get it to work. Is there some kind of setting I'm missing? Something in premiere?
I've read some best practices on the forum, and I understand to use bit rate of 7mbs or less, and to burn on slow speed. Is it at all bcz I'm burning it to my hard drive? but i don't think this is my issue. is it the old software? it came with my Sanyo camera, so I would think its good enough.
Please help if you can. I was thinking my next shot might be to convert it down to a much smaller size, and maybe it will fit(but quality may be an issue). Thanks in advance. -Ron

Ron,
Yes, PE is a scaled down version of P-Pro, but also has some additional features, plus an easier way of doing many things, that its "big brother" does not. As to the ability to Export/Share frame sizes, I think that most are included in PE (would have to open each and explore precisely to tell you if it's all there). I do not think that this is your issue.
As to the conversion, I'd step back to your original footage, Sanyo MP4, right? Unless Sanyo is using a proprietary CODEC to create the MP4's, you *should* be able to Open these files in QuickTime and play them. If you have QuickTime Pro (costs about US$30 to upgrade to "Pro), you *should* be able to Export and choose DV-AVI as your Export setting. Note: the term ".AVI" can mean so very many things. What you want is DV-AVI. This is the "native" format for PE - what it converts all other file formats to, to edit. The quality loss going with this format can be measured in a lab, but is almost totally impossible to see on any TV with the human eye. Doing this will likely enhance your entire editing experience.
As for quality and conversions and compression, your camera has already done one conversion, when it wrote to MP4. You cannot get around that. Conversion to DV-AVI will be "virtually" lossless, though the file size WILL increase. The reason is that with MP4, not all "frames" exist with full content - part of its compression. With DV-AVI each "frame" will exist with full content. Be prepared for LARGE files, but files with all of the info.
Then, when you Burn to DVD, you WILL recompress your data to MPEG-2 format, the DVD standard. You will loose some quality there, but it cannot be avoided. It is how DVD's hold their Audio & Video data.
I still do not have any ideas that would directly affect your movie not burning completely. If the Duration of your movie has exceeded the capacity of a DVD-5, you would/should get an error message to that effect. You do not.
One thing to go back and look for in your original Project's Timeline would be "gaps" in the Video. These can cause problems (or sometimes not). I zoom my Timeline way up, and use the PageUp & PageDn keys to "step" through the various Clips. The CTI (Current Time Indicator - that little doobie that marks where you are on the Timeline) should move in a linear fashion from Clip to Clip. If you see it pause, or hiccup, then zoom WAY in to the max and study the Timeline there. Are all Clips butted up to each other? Now, you can have Clips on Video Tracks above #1, that would allow you to have "gaps" in the Video on VT 1. That is OK, but if you have any spots on the Timeline, where there is NO Video, you'll likely want to fix these. You can close up the gaps by moving the Clips, so that they do butt up, or if you want "black" there, just go to the New icon and choose Black Video. Size it to fit the gap, and you will be fine. You can also extend the Clip before the gap, or after the gap, if that does not mess up your editing. Several choices and each should be based on what you want to have happen. If you find a bunch of gaps (even one can be deadly) try to Export/Burn again. Note: I've seen one 1-frame gap cause problems, but just had to re-edit a Project where I fixed 900+ gaps, and that Project had already Burned 4 DVD's. Go figure.
Last thing to look at would be to hit the "\" key in Timeline mode. This will zoom out to show the full Timeline. Do you have anything stuck out by itself, past where you thought the end was? This should yield other problems, but not the one you are experiencing. Still, who knows? It's also a good thing to do, when you believe you are done, just to check that something didn't get "orphaned" out beyond where one normally looks on the Timeline.
Good luck,
Hunt
[Edit] 01:50 is longish for a DVD-5. You will not be able to set a very high bit-rate (Quality slider), but you should still get the full Timeline, or an error message.

PDF attachment getting cut off

Hi,
I managed to make it work, I changed the attach_base64 as per your recommendations but made my own slight change :-
PROCEDURE attach_base64_fromfile
(conn IN OUT NOCOPY utl_smtp.connection,
                    filename IN VARCHAR2,
floc IN VARCHAR2,
               mime_type IN VARCHAR2 DEFAULT 'application/octet',
                    inline IN BOOLEAN DEFAULT TRUE,
                    last IN BOOLEAN DEFAULT FALSE) IS
i PLS_INTEGER;
len PLS_INTEGER;
fh Utl_File.File_Type;
buf raw(32767);
BEGIN
begin_attachment(conn, mime_type, inline, filename, 'base64');
fh := Utl_File.Fopen (
location => floc,
filename => filename,
open_mode => 'r');
BEGIN
Utl_File.Get_Raw (
file => fh,
buffer => buf);
i := 1;
len := utl_raw.LENGTH(buf);
WHILE (i < len) LOOP
IF (i + MAX_BASE64_LINE_WIDTH < len) THEN
utl_smtp.write_raw_data(conn, utl_encode.base64_encode(buf));
utl_smtp.write_data(conn, utl_tcp.CRLF);
END IF;
i := i + MAX_BASE64_LINE_WIDTH;
END LOOP;
EXCEPTION
WHEN no_data_found THEN NULL;
END;
Utl_File.Fclose ( file => fh );
end_attachment(conn, LAST);
END;
and created another procedure to call send_mail.attach_base64_fromfile :-
CREATE OR REPLACE PROCEDURE send_email_attachment IS
conn utl_smtp.connection;
BEGIN
conn := Send_Mail.begin_mail(
sender => '[email protected]', -- sender email address
recipients => '[email protected]', -- recipient email address
subject => 'Attachment Test',
mime_type => Send_Mail.MULTIPART_MIME_TYPE);
send_mail_vv.attach_base64_fromfile(
conn => conn,
filename => 'test.pdf', -- file name
floc => 'TEST', -- file location
mime_type => 'application/octet',
inline => TRUE);
Send_Mail.end_attachment( conn => conn );
Send_Mail.end_mail( conn => conn );
END;
Thanks for all your help.

When scanning or copy top gets cut off

When I copy or scan the document gets cut off at the top about 1" , when I turn the document around to see if will copy or scan any better I have 2" of space at the top and gives me 1/4" space at the bottom. When I print from the computer it is perfect. Have any of you had this problem with other printers and what did you do to fix it? Brenda

Hello , Welcome to the HP Forums! I'd like to help you with the copy issue you are having on your HP ENVY 7640 e-All-in-One printer. It sounds like it could be an issue with the way the document is being put onto the glass, or with the settings that the printer is using for the copy. When you are putting the original on the glass, are you lining up the top left hand corner of the page in the bottom right hand corner of the glass? If not, let's try that. I'll get you to check the settings you are using as well: Touch Copy on the printer home screen.Touch Settings (should look like a little gear).Check Paper Size, Margin Shift (should be off), and Resize (should be Actual).Are you trying to make the copy on regular letter size paper? I look forward to hearing back and working towards a resolution for this issue!

Text in Dynamic Textfield gets cut off

Hi
I have a dynamic text field which is just one line of text.
For some reason letters like g or p that go below the regular
line of text get cut off.
I have made the field bigger, and also played around with the
_height Property but it doesn't make a difference.
I have imported the font into the Library. When I embed it
the font doesn't cut off but looks very different. And if I change
the field to a static field it doesn't cut off either, but the font
looks a little different as well.
Any ideas?

Why should I start a new thread if this one was never resolved and I am still having the same problem?
ANYWAY,
I was able to fix this by finding an answer on a different forum.
Simply increase the text leading using the text format option, like so:
var format:TextFormat = new TextFormat();
format.leading = 2;
field_txt.defaultTextFormat=format;

XLST-mapping get's cut off after 4440 characters per tag

Hi there,
I currently have a problem with a XSLT-mapping in SAP PI: The mapping itself is working fine and correct. It is transforming the input-xml and the creates a well-formed xml-output.
But I have a problem when a xml-tag is having more than 4440 characters in it. In this case the XML-output just gets cut off, eaven there are plenty more chararcters left. Is there any way that this xml-tag still get's created?

What size should my movies be to not get cut off?

I am making a tutorial DVD. I used Snapz Pro to record a bunch of screen capture movies and then edited them together in FCP and exported them as 1024x768 animation movies and they look great. Now I want to burn them to DVD. When I take them as they are and put them on a DVD the top and bottom of the screen get cut off. Can I just resize the movies in QT pro to a different size so they won't cut off? If so what size? Is there a better way?

Scott,
A mix of this QuickTime Pro: How to Make Picture-in-Picture at http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?artnum=42633 and the following procedure I put together a couple of years ago to use the small movies produced by still digital cameras in iMovie/iDVD:
1. Create a 640 x 480 black mask with a slightly lighter black 320 x 240 center in Photoshop. Save it as a JPG file.
2. Open your DiMage X movie in QuickTime Pro. Open the saved mask in another QuickTime Pro player (at 15 fps).
3. Select the mask clip and edit->select all and then edit->copy
4. Select the DiMage X clip and then edit -> add scaled the mask
5. Next, select movie -> get movie properties
6. Select video 2 on the left box and layers on the right box. Set the layers to 1 (that moves the mask to the back).
7. Select video one on the left box and size on the right box. Click on adjust. Red hack marks appear around the video. Click on the picture (not the mark) and center the video on the lightened 320 x 240 box.
8. The video may not completely cover the lighter box, but the hack marks should line up. When you view the movie, if you used a "slightly lighter" black for the center area, you won't a notice a lighter area when played in iDVD.
9. Export it as a DV stream. Bring it into iDVD.
will give you an idea on how to proceed. Obviously, you will need to come up with your own mask and cut-out size - 640x480 ISN'T what YOU want.

Tops of Signatures get cut off...

Can anyone tell me why or, better yet, how to fix the following issue I keep having?
When using Adobe Reader and the "Sign>I Need To Sign>Place Signature" function with "Signature Style 4" the top of some of the letters of signatures gets cut off (see screenshot below).
I cannot find a way to rejustify the text nor am I able to enlarge only the box that the text is located in. The single enlarging feature for the box is a diagonal enlargement tool which inherently also enlarges the text when it is used. So it defeats the purpose of what I'm trying to fix and only makes the issue into a larger size.
Any assistance in correcting this issue is greatly appreciated!
--CR4

There are several situations where this could happen.
1) If you have 4:3 footage (standard def) in a 16:9 project (widescreen) and select CROP in the Rotate, Crop, Ken Burns Tool, then it will cut off the top and bottom of your clips to make them fill the screen. If you select FIT instead of CROP, it will letterbox (add black bars) so you see the whole clip.
2) This can also happen when you automatically apply image stabilization. Stabilization works by zooming in. You can turn off stabilization in the Clip Inspector.
3) If you have iPhone clips and the iPhone was held vertically, then this will be an issue for you, because iMovie always sets the aspect ratio to match a TV screen, so the horizontal dimension will always be the longest. For best results, shoot all movies in landscape mode on your iPhone. If you have already shot in Portrait Mode, I suggest using FIT rather than CROP so you do not cut off the heads.
