Strange behaviour when adding clips

I have trasnferred some videos from my camcorder (sony) using the 'get media' option from Premiere Elements 7. When I add them to the sceneline (one by one or all at the same time) only one clip space is occupied, so I cannot edit transitions, effects or whatever. I dont know if its related but the clip image in the sceneline has an icon on the upper right corner, it looks like a pair of blue screens superimposed one over the other. I have also tried right clicking but none of the options are available.
Any idea? Thanks in advance!!!

Welcome to the forum.
Steve has probably nailed the issue - DD 5.1 SS Audio.
You can see where things are going, if you change to Timeline View Mode. While Sceneline View Mode is good for simple initial editing, you will fall in love with Timeline View Mode, as it offers so very much more control and provides you with a full view of what is going on. Try it - you'll like it.
Good luck,
Hunt

Premiere Elements 9 - Strange behaviour when copying clips?

Hi,
I'm getting some odd behavior with Elements 9 while copying clips. I have a feeling I'm missing something obvious, but I don't know what it is.
There is a specific clip, which has been tailored to a certain length at a certain point in the video, that I need to copy elsewhere in the project. However, when I perform a copy and paste operation on it, the clip appears bu has a small red and white box in the top left corner of its timeline representation. Inside this is written "-15:2". When I play the clip, it is the same length but has reverted to the start of the video it was taken from. The red and white box disappears once I click the clip.None of my other clips do this when copied, and my project relies on accurate timing of clips to sync with some music. I'm going to have to use this particular clip several more times in the project, and I don't want to hand-tailor its starting point each time. What am I doing wrong here?
Thanks!

Thank you for the quick reply!
Here's a quick screenshot of the clip. The red box and the details are both visible. If I were to play it then all attributes would be the same as the clip I copied except for the time of the clip start.

Strange behaviour when adding/deleting files

The following phenomen is interesting:
I have a logo's folder which may contain gif images. I want to add an image dynamically on my JSP whenever an image is available in this folder using the following code:
public boolean checkLogo() {
PublicObject pubObj;
boolean logoFound = false;
try {
for (int i = 0; i < logoFolder.getItemCount(); i++) {
pubObj = logoFolder.getItems(i);
if (pubObj.getName().toLowerCase().endsWith(".gif")) {
logoFound = true;
logoFilename = pubObj.getAnyFolderPath();
} catch (IfsException e) {
e.printStackTrace();
return logoFound;
public String getLogoFilename() {
return logoFilename;
The first method looks if a file with extension .gif exists, and stores the filename in a variable. The second method returns this filename.
I use this in my JSP as follows (using the currcust bean):
<HTML>
<% if (currcust.checkLogo()) {
%> <IMG SRC="<%= currcust.getLogoFilename() %>">
<% }
%>
</HTML>
Now when I copy-paste a gif-file in the logo's directory via file explorer, I see nothing on my webpage. Only when I press F5 (refresh) in MS File Explorer, the file becomes visible on my web page. The same effect with the delete. Pressing the keys DEL-ENTER removes the file in MS File Explorer, but the logo remains on the web page. After pressing F5 in File Explorer the logo is 'really gone'.
Seems like a commit is missing after add/deleting files via File Explorer, where F5 does the commit indeed...

Insert and Delete operations performed by the SMB protocol server should be reflected immediately in the Oracle iFS repository. However, there may be a lag period (no more than a minute) before a new file's content will be stored.
To decrease the lag time, you can disable OPLOCKS in the SMB properties definition file. However, you should take into account the performance costs in doing so.

Strange behaviour when looping MIDI

Hi,
I encounter a strange behaviour when looping MIDI:
1) Created a new MIDI track
2) Recorded two bars of MIDI drum track (e.g. just a bass drum with Indie Kit Live) via my EDIROL and MIDI piano.
3) played it back: works
4) checked the "Loop" box
5) played it back: after the 4th repeat the drum pattern changes. either it misses two beats or does not play the bass drum but the hihat for two beats.
I'm using Logic Pro 8.
Can someone tell me what's going on and how this can be resolved?
Also on some occasions I have the following behaviour:
1) Recorded MIDI in loop mode (a few takes).
2) Played it back: Did not produce any sound.
3) Tried a different take from the take folder: Did not produce any sound.
4) Tried to mute/unmute track and different take from the folder: Did not produce any sound.
5) Tried to MIDI mute/unmute different takes from the folder: Did not produce any sound.
6) Closed/reopened project and MIDI unmuted the take: Played fine.
Thanks a lot for some help with those two problems.
Alex

Did not happen again in Logic 9 and after starting a fresh project.

Strange behaviour when placing text frame on top of image

Hi,
Win XP, FM 8.04
I have a front cover that consists of a TIF image that bleeds off the page. On top of that image I want to put a text frame with the book title.
The strange thing is that when I create the text frame and use the toolbar buttons to nudge it down on the page, the text (but not the frame) suddenly jumps to a totally different place way down on the page, despite only nudging it, say, 10 mm.
Any ideas why this is happening?
/Mats

Hi,
Partly solved:
After some tests, it seems FM does not like when you try to move a text frame over a transparent area in an image. The image in question was made by importing a PDF into Photoshop, then saving as TIF. Since the PDF contained an area that was had full transparency in InDesign (i.e. "Paper"), that area was also in the TIF image.
The strange behaviour starts exactly at the border where the transparency starts. In non-transparent areas, there is no problem.
Seems like a bug.

Strange behaviour when setting client_info and module in v$session

Hello,
I've tried to set the CLIENT_INFO field in V$SESSION using DBMS_APPLICATION_INFO.SET_CLIENT_INFO but found a strange behaviour.
Normally the forms modules seems to set the field MODULE in V$SESSION to its name. If I use DBMS_APPLICATION_INFO.SET_CLIENT_INFO the CLIENT_INFO field is set correctly but the MODULE field is set to 'frmweb.exe' instead of the forms modules name.
I also tried to set the MODULE using DBMS_APPLICATION_INFO.SET_MODULE but then strangely the MODULE and MODULE_HASH field of the original frmweb.exe (the main applet?) entry and the entry for the forms module were the same (set to the new module name). From now on every newly opened module had 'frmweb.exe' as the module entry until I closed the forms application.
Example:
Entries in V$SESSION:
-- After start of forms application there is only one entry for the process:
PROCESS           MODULE            MODULE_HASH            CLIENT_INFO
1596:7204         frmweb.exe        854945150
-- When a new forms module is opened it looks like this:
PROCESS           MODULE            MODULE_HASH            CLIENT_INFO
1596:7204         frmweb.exe        854945150
1596:7204         my_module         1929284615
-- When the modified forms module that sets the client_info/module is opened this happens:
PROCESS           MODULE            MODULE_HASH            CLIENT_INFO
1596:7204         mod_module        3097977240
1596:7204         mod_module        3097977240             my client info
1596:7204         my_module         1929284615As one can see the entry of the forms application seems to be overriden (at least the MODULE and MODULE_HASH fields) but the CLIENT_INFO only changes for one of the entries?
The following code is responsible for the changes of CLIENT_INFO and MODULE:
    -- get client info
    client_info :=
        webutil_clientinfo.get_ip_address
        || ' (' ||
        webutil_clientinfo.get_user_name
        || ')'
    -- set client info
    DBMS_APPLICATION_INFO.SET_CLIENT_INFO(client_info);
    -- get module (set action to '')
    DBMS_APPLICATION_INFO.SET_MODULE(name_in('system.current_form'),''); I really don't understand, why it does not work properly.
Any help is appreciated!
Thanks in advance.

This was an application module pooling, activation / passivation issue.
After view objects had been set-up correctly, the problem disappeared.

Strange behaviour when using connection pooling with proxy authentication

All
I have developed an ASP.NET 1.1 Web application that uses ODP.NET 9.2.0.4 accessing Oracle Database 8i (which is to be upgraded to 10g in the coming months). I have enabled connection pooling and implemented proxy authentication.
I am observing a strange behaviour in the live environment. If two users (User 1 and User 2) are executing SQL statements at the same time (concurrent threads in IIS), the following is occurring:
* User 1 opens a new connection, executes a SELECT statement, and closes this connection. The audit log, which uses the USER function, shows User 1 executed this statement.
* User 2 opens the same connection (before it is released to the connection pool?), excutes an INSERT statement, and closes this connection. The audit log shows User 1, not User 2, executed this statement.
Is this a known issue when using connection pooling with proxy authentication? I appreciate your help.
Regards,
Chris

Hi Chris,
I tried to reproduce your complaint, but was unable to. I didnt use auditting however, just a series of "select user from dual" with proxy authentication. You might want to see if you can put together a small complete testcase for this and open a sr with support.
Cheers

Strange behaviour when running parameterized test

Hello,
I am using Flex 4.5 and FlexUnit 4.1 inside of the Flashdevelop IDE and I am experiencing some very strange behaviour.
If I have 5 parameters to my test the test runs fine. When I add a sixth parameter of the type Array, I get the following error:
"TypeError: Error #1009: Cannot access a property or method of a null object reference."
Please see below for my example code.
The following parameterized test case runs without a problem:
package {
    import org.flexunit.runners.Parameterized;
    [RunWith('org.flexunit.runners.Parameterized')]
    public class ParameterizedTest {
        [Parameters]
        public static var testData:Array = [
            [1,1,new Array(),1,1]
        public function ParameterizedTest(
            param1:uint,
            param2:uint,
            param3:Array,
            param4:uint,
            param5:uint
        ):void {
        [Test]
        public function testOne():void {
            // Test to go here.
When I add an Array as the sixth parameter :
package {
    import org.flexunit.runners.Parameterized;
    [RunWith('org.flexunit.runners.Parameterized')]
    public class ParameterizedTest {
        [Parameters]
        public static var testData:Array = [
            [1,1,new Array(),1,1,new Array()]
        public function ParameterizedTest(
            param1:uint,
            param2:uint,
            param3:Array,
            param4:uint,
            param5:uint,
            param6:Array
        ):void {
        [Test]
        public function testOne():void {
            // Test to go here.
I get this error :

Can anyone help me?

Actually, I do see what's wrong.
When you call a method in the ActionScript universe, you can can usually do a function.apply() and pass it a variable number of args. Unfortunately, constructors are the one type of method where this doesn't work. You can't actually do an apply() so we have to fake it by having a map of static functions which each know how to apply a given number of arguments to the constructor. There is a check in the code that tests if the number of arguments you have exceeds what our static map knows how to apply.
It looks like that check should have thrown the error:
throw new ArgumentError("Sorry, we can't support constructors with more than " + argMap.length + " args out of the box... yes, its dumb, take a look at Constructor.as to modify on your own");
It didn't and I am guessing its because there is a border condition here. So, what happening is that we only support up to 5 arguments right now. That number is arbitrary. When it was written it just seemed like a reasonable number, however, this class was written before Parameterized testing was introduced.
Your three choices right now would be to use the TestNG style of Parameterized testing, which uses functions and not constructor args so it will not suffer this same fate, change the code and compile flexunit for yourself, or we could put a patched Constructor class in your project which fixes it. Longer term, I would like you to file a bug that we should increase the number to 10 or some other quasi-reasonable number. We will never be able to support an infinite number and we will always need to pick som arbitrary line in the sand. It just seems our line should be farther out.

Queue with callback function - strange behaviour when using max_retries

Hi,
I hope someone can tell me what is wrong or can explain the following strange behaviour to me.
I am using one queue with a registered callback function. To test the behavoiur in case of an error I tested different settings, with or without explicit exception queue and with or without parameter max_retries.
Database Version is 11.2.0.2.   Enterprise Edition
I enqueue 10 messages in a loop.
I define no exception queue and do not set max_retries
==> all messages stay in the queuetable with q_name = AQ$_... (implicit exception queue) and retry_count = 5

Hi Chris,
I tried to reproduce your complaint, but was unable to. I didnt use auditting however, just a series of "select user from dual" with proxy authentication. You might want to see if you can put together a small complete testcase for this and open a sr with support.

N8 - Strange problem when adding an OVI email acco...

Hi there.
When adding my GFs OVI email account to her N8 I start the installer which directs me to a page where I can sign up or login.
I choose login as she's already setup an account. The login succeeds and we get the "readying inbox" or a similar message. Then the browser seems to get stuck at reloading a link and finally gives me an error saying the login name or password was incorrect.
Login in on a PC works great.
I didn't have this problem on my N8 but then again I was using email.nokia.com since my previous E52.
Any one have a clue?
Thanks.
Simon

Audio dissapears when adding clips to sequence

When I move a clip from the viewer to the canvas or timeline the audio dissapears....meaning only a silent video clip is added to the sequence. Any ideas? thanks

Hi,
Lets see if the following could be the problem:
On the left hand side of the timeline right next each audio tracks there are two buttons whit the speaker icon on them, one to mute the audio (turns yellow) the other to make the sound audible (turns dark gray together with the respective audio track).
Now, in the bottom left corner of the timeline there's a tiny button with a speaker on it click on it If you can't see the first button I previously mentioned.
Is the first speaker button appearing yellow? Is the second one grayed out? (If so the silent audio track appears grayish?)
In one of these cases you would not hear any sound from the audio track because you clicked either on one or the other button of the audio track.

Strange behaviour when passing many input parameters to web service

Hello!!!
I developed a web service with 52 input parameters using tomcat+axis!
While testing it in my development enviroment everything was working fine
(LAN consisted of three windows 2000 server machines!!!)
When i deployed it in my customer enviroment (VPN with 200 isdn connections) i get a very strange error:
AxisFault
faultCode: {http://xml.apache.org/axis/}HTTP
faultSubcode:
faultString: (0)null
faultActor:
faultNode:
faultDetail:
{}string: return code: 0
(0)null
when i used tcptracer in order to understand what is going on,
I realised that the error occurs when the http request is more than 1350 bytes.
Can someone explain this behaviour?
thanks in advance!
sarantos

Hi Sarantos,
I think, there is nothing wrong in the axis engine nor the http request limits as you said. I tried the same passing a 60 kb String as an argument to an operation , getting the results perfectly.
So problem could be with the method capacity size of your implementation. (I think default it is 64kb)

How can I stop sound track from being divided when adding clips to other tracks in PrE12?

The situation:
I have a project with several minutes of video clips on the timeline (expert view) in "Video 1/Audio 1." There is also music on the sound track (below the empty "Narration" track).
Any time I make an edit to the Video 1 track, PRE cuts the Sound Track. (Note that this is not the Audio 1 track, it's the sound track which is two tracks away.) If I insert a clip, the Sound Track is cut and left with a gap. Same if I do a FreezeFrame insert. This is bad enough (make ten insertions, have the Sound Track chopped into ten separate pieces), but it gets worse: when I try to slide the Sound Track pieces back together, the Video 1 clips will be moved around.
This appears to be a major bug but I'm hoping there is a simple way to deal with it.
Here's what the Manual (p.71) has to say about it (not much).
"When you insert a clip into the Expert view timeline, adjacent clips on all tracks shift to accommodate the new clip. By shifting all clips together, the audio and video of the existing clips remain in sync."
* The question here is, adjacent to what? The Sound Track is a continuous music clip of many minutes; it is alone on the Track, and there is nothing on the track above it (Narration track). So it's not adjacent to anything, and yet it is being chopped up.
The Manual continues:
"Sometimes, you don’t want all clips to shift with each insertion. For example, when you add background music that superimposes the entire movie, you don’t want clips to shift."
*They got that right, but they don't say anything about how to prevent it.
This next makes no sense at all:
"To shift specific clips togather, press the Alt key as you insert. At a time, you can shift specific clips simultaneously on a maximum of two tracks. These include the track receiving the insertion and the track containing the linked audio or video (if any). The affected tracks shift together, remaining aligned. The clips on other tracks are unaffected."
*There is no mention of how to specify what clips would be shifted, or not.
I'm not dealing with linked clips. And they tell me how to shift clips (sort of) but nothing about how to stop clips from being cut up and shifted. This all makes it very hard to create a coordinated product.
Any suggestions or solutions will be much appreciated.

Thanks, ATR,
I wll try this--but I still am unclear on how to do what the Manual says is possible: select clips on another track that WILL be moved, if I so desire, so as to remain synched to the main Video track.
UPDATE:
In the case of inserting Freeze Frame, I just tried both Ctrl method and Alt method, and neither worked.
1. Put Video on Vid1 track
2. Put Music on Sound Track
3. Ran a few seconds of Vid
4. Stopped Vid, selected Freeze Frame
5. Held down Ctrl key while clicking "Insert in Movie" also tried with holding down Alt key.
Result: a 3 second still was inserted int the Vid1 track. A corresponding gap was created in the Sound Track.
6. Slid the final part of the Sound Track to the left along the timeline to re-connect it to the next segment created by the above process.
Result: the video following the final Freeze Frame was pushed to the right end of Video1 track.
7. Slid the Sound Track all the way to the left.
Result: the entire Video 1 Track contents were pushed to the right and divided in pieces.
I documented each step with screen shots which I can send if you want them and if I can figure out how to do it.
UPDATE #2
In the case of inserting a video clip to the Timeline, I just tried both Ctrl method and Alt method, and neither worked.
1. Locate video in Project Assets
2a. R click video in Project Assets (pull-down menu appears), hold down Ctrl, click Insert to Timeline.
Result: Vid clip is inserted on Video 1 track, Sound Track is separated with a corresponding gap.
2b. R click video in Project Assets (pull-down menu appears), push Alt
Result: pull-down menu disappears as soon as Alt is pushed down.
I can stil drag the Vid clip but it's one more manual step...I love shortcuts!!

Strange behaviour when embedding HTML page in Air

Hi,
I'm trying to embedd a HTML page to a Air application.
The HTML page has a simple Flex application (TestFlex4Project.mxml) with a button that changes one HTML element on the web page (TestFlex4Project.html) using ExternalInterface. If I run the Flex application using the HTML page it works just fine and when I click the button the HTML ellement is changed and the mouseover- and onclick events works. If I embedd the HTML page in an Air application the mouseover- and onclick events does not work any more. Why?
If I use Aternative 1 in the HTML code (instead of using Aternative 2 in the HTML code where I'm editing the innerHTML property) the mouseover- and onclick events works when the HTML page is embeded in Air. Why?
Even more strange is that if I remove the line [<img src="http://www.adobe.com/images/shared/download_buttons/get_flash_player.gif" alt="Get Adobe Flash player" />] from the HTML page the Flex application dose not show at all when embedded in Air. Why?
You can try the online sample here and the files here.
The application looks like this:
And if you click the button and click the upper most text you will recieve a message like this:
But not when I use innerHTML and embedd the HTML page in Air. Can anyone please help me with this issue. Is it a bug or what am I doing wrong? I need to change some HTML elements using innerHTML.

Strange behaviour when accessing Oracle 8i table from servlet

Hi there,
First a little background, I've got a 2 column table in an Oracle 8i DB that holds a very simple code to word map. There are no strange characters. Both columns are varchar.
From my desktop machine, when I execute the the following:
<SNIP>
            OracleDataSource ods = new OracleDataSource();
            ods.setDriverType("thin");
            ods.setServerName("DBserver.db");
            ods.setDatabaseName("DB");
            ods.setPortNumber(1527);
            ods.setUser("user");
            ods.setPassword("password");
            Connection connection = ods.getConnection();
            Statement stmt = connection.createStatement();
            ResultSet res = stmt.executeQuery(SQL);
            CachedRowSet crs = new CachedRowSetImpl();
            crs.populate(res);
            while (crs.next()) {
                System.out.println("ID: " + crs.getString(1) +
                                   ", Name: " + crs.getString(2));
            }<SNIP>
Everything works fine, and I get the results I expect (both return values for getString(1) and getString(2) are exactly as they are stored in the table)
HOWEVER:
When I execute the same exact code in a servlet sitting on a Tomcat server (I'm using a simple applet servlet model to access the table and return a response to the applet), crs.getString(int) returns strings like: 0x53, 0x54, 0x4E and so on.
I am unsure what this means, and would be grateful for any assistance. I am wondering where to start to troubleshoot the problem.

I suggest you use the name of the field in your getString() so you can be sure what field its getting.
Example:
from:
crs.getString(1)
to:
crs.getString("first_name");
Also, I suggest you get a connection, use it, and close it (along with closing the resultSet and statement) all within a try/catch/finally block. You have to close the connection when you are done with it or you may run out of connections.
Also, I suggest replacing this:
CachedRowSet crs = new CachedRowSetImpl();
crs.populate(res);
while (crs.next()) {
System.out.println("ID: " + crs.getString(1) +
", Name: " + crs.getString(2));
with something like this:
while(resultSet.next()){
System.out.println("ID"
System.out.println("ID: " + resultSet.getString("first_name") +
", Name: " + resultSet.getString("last_name"));
}
