Strange Time Code behaviour

Logic 8.0.2, G5 Quad 5.5Gb Ram, 10.4.11
When I try to copy a timecode position in the transport window (floating or fixed) the highlighted timecode (after double click) changes to random positions.
e.g. the code I want to copy is 00:01:35:12 - I double click on it and it changes to 00:01:24:07
The changes appear to be completely random and unrepeatable.
Any thoughts ?

I checked the Air Disk and the disk on my MacBook and both are ok. I also looked at the bundle through time machine and was able to restore a few files just as a test (from 3 weeks ago) If I let it TM wants to do a complete back up again. I'm going to let it go this time and see what happens. Either it has lost the hook telling it what is already backed up or not performing the incremental back ups as I had hoped.

  • CSM : Strange Round-Robin behaviour

    Hi,
    During validation tests, I am observing a strange server selection behaviour, on independent GET requests (no cookie included) : When a connection request arrives in the CSM within a time window of about 20 seconds after the previous request, then the CSM correctly selects the next real server in the farm (round-robin). However, if the second connection arrives more than 20 sec after the previous request, the CSM selects the same server as for the previous one. Everything looks like the round-robin algorithm would be "reset" after this periood of time.
    Is it a normal behaviour ?
    By the way, how is the server list organized in the CSM RR algorithm ?
    Thank you
    Yves Haemmerli

    Gilles,
    As you requested, I send you the traces showing that when sessions are established with long delay between them, the round-robin load balancing is not consistent.
    Here are some important infos :
    - Client IP address is 141.122.142.197
    - VIP address is 160.213.139.14
    - We NAT the client with the VIP address
    - Servers addresses are :
    -> 160.213.139.163
    -> 160.213.139.164
    -> 160.213.139.165
    -> 160.213.139.166
    -> 160.213.139.171
    -> 160.213.139.172
    -> 160.213.139.173
    -> 160.213.139.174
    I ran two tests. Fore each of them I send you one trace showing the frames (HTTP on TCP port 26000)between the client and the CSM, and a second trace showing the frames between the CSM and the servers. In the trace, please forget about the HTTP code 401 returned by the servers). Also, note that the sessions are kept open by my session generator, in order to do the test.
    In the first test, I sent 16 sessions in the raw without delay between them. Load balancing is perfect, each of the eight servers receives 2 sessions.
    Than, I sent 16 sessions, one after the other, with several seconds between them. As you can see, the load balancing is uneven in this case.
    I can't understand the behaviour as the GET requests in both tests are exactly the same...
    Thank you for your help,

  • No time code overlay media encoder cc 2014

    activating time code overlay in export settings/effects and the overlay is not visible.  All other settings in effects are working.  Applications manager tells me the app is up-to-date.
    encoding an mov file to h.264.

    It is very strange. I don't know what to test next. I encounter the same issue using the Timecode video effect in Premiere Pro. If I tick Field Symbol in the effect controls I see the Field Symbol rendered in the view port. The Field Symbol is also visible in the video file if do a media export. I run Premiere Pro CC 2014.2,  8.2.0 (65) Build. I have the same issue when I run AME or Premiere on my laptop. See attached screen grabs from both AME and Premiere. Thank you for your help.

  • Time Code Effect  Source Monitor and rendered .AVI movie display different timings???

    Im seeing a strange error and hope someone might be able to help me out. I am shooting elementary classroom reading lessons for a study by the University of Michigans School of Education. It is important to the study to see what takes place over about a 2hour period of time.
    Im shooting with 2 cameras. 1 on the teacher the other on the students. Im shooting on mini DV. The first camera I start about 4min ahead of the second so that when the 1hour tape is filled I can switch the tape in camera 1 while still capturing activity on camera 2.
    When I edit the footage I am cutting back and forth between the 2 cameras. One initial shot is of the classroom clock as it ticks from one minute to the next. I later use this footage as a guide when establishing the Time of Day.
    When the entire lesson is edited together and cut. I add two transparent video tracks each with the Timecode effect added. The first I synchronize with the classroom clocksetting the Timecode Source to Generate matching the Starting Timecode with the clock footage. I then crop the frames portion so viewers will know the time of day the footage was shot. The other I leave the Timecode Source set as Clip. I use the size and position controls to move the two timers into the upper left of the screen.
    When I view the finished video in the Program Monitor everything looks great. When I Export|Movie to an .AVI file the video looks correct but the timers are off. The last frame of the video in the Source Monitor displays 11:28:19 for the clock timer and 02;02;00;23 for the total time timer. But when I view the .AVI the last frame displays 11;03;40 for the clock and 01;37;36;25 for the total time.
    So how did I lose 24min between the Source Monitor displays and the rendered .AVI displays?

    Yes. After I had the .AVI I ran through the two side-by-side (.avi and the Source Monitor). I have since experimented with some of the Time Code effect settings trying to see if these might have some impact. I have not been able to find any detailed explanation of what each setting controls/does other than an overview (see link below).
    I suspect that this has something to do with the size/length of the clip 2+ hours. Is there an optimal length for an individual clip? Should I be splitting this into 2 or 3 shorter sequences and then putting them on a DVD with Encore and setting it up to play them back-to-back?

  • Time code zeros out with batch capture

    I've captured DVCam footage that had been logged for 10 min increments. FCP captured all footage successfully from start of tape to end in 10 min clips, but the time code for each clip starts at zero. So I have 4 or 5 clips that all have the same time code, but are different content. Any ideas why this may have happened. Oh and it happened through several tapes before we noticed it. Strangely, the last clip on each tape captured with the correct time code...

    I've seen this happen before. The only fix I've seen is to recapture the footage.

  • Time code nightmare

    time code on captured clips does not match that on the tape. The tapes have continuous code with no breaks. We are looking at media start/end as well as the box in the viewer that indicates tc as you scroll or play through a clip. For some reason FCP continued to capture clips but lost the tc information so they all start at zero--with the exception of the first and last clips captured on each tape, which as I said has accurate time code.

  • Logon credentials failed timer code missing

    Apex  4.2.2.00.11 on Oracle 11.2.x
    Mobile logon page (using a custom region based on Region-With-Title (a few minor rendering mods) does not include the Javascript for the timer countdown when logon auth credentials fails.
    This is what is generated:
    apex.jQuery( 'div[id=P1001]:last' ).on( 'pageinit', function() {
    (function(){apex.da.initDaEventList();})();
    (function(){apex.da.init();})();
    The entire timer code block
    (function(){
    var lTimeoutField = document.getElementById("apex_login_throttle_sec"),
    ..etc...
    ..is missing from that code.
    I do not believe this is the custom region, as reverting back to Region-With-Title has the same behaviour. Have not modded any existing there regions (with the exception of adding a new one). So I'm a bit lost as to where I stuffed up. It seems that the page processing now does not recognise a failure, and despite adding the notification div and timer countdown message, the code to update it and do the countdown is not included.
    Will appreciate pointers in the right direction. Thanks.

    Found problem. XHR call was made (resulting in missing Javascript) as the browser security cache attribute was set. Setting attribute to false results in a POST call and a page refresh (that now contains the timer countdown Javascript).

  • WAITING FOR TIME CODE....again

    Hi, when I try to capture from DV device, the capture window appears "PREVIEW DISABLED" I can remote the dv device, mark time code in or out, play tape, pause tape, the time code in the capture window run and is the same taht the tape, but when I do batch capture, cpture clip or capture now, the preview window of catpure says : "WAITING FOR TIME CODE" "DEVICE MUST IN VTR MODE WHEN DEVICE CONTROL IS ENABLED" and when I abort the capture this message apperas: "THIS OPERATION COULD NOT BE COMPLETED AS THERE IS NO VIDEO", Quicktime pro is unabled to capture too, but IMOVIE capture without this problem. I download the firewire sdk from developer connection of apple and use AVCVideo Cap, and no problem for cature, so , my Firewire or dv devices are ok, with DVHSCap I capture PRO HD JVC very well.
    Resume , I think there is a problem with quicktime and DV format, My Ibook G4 with FCP 5.0.1 capture from DV devices OK, without problem. If anybody resolved this please comment with us. I work to day with FCP 6.0.4 and quicktime 7.5 and Mac os 10.4.11 and 10.5.4 the problem is afected my PowerPC G5 and my powerbook intel. Another point of interest is that this problem is RANDOM, some times I can capture from DV devices in the first time, some times I can't capture.

    Hey AL
    How ya doin buddy?
    "Either way, try an Easy Setup>DV Converter, to match your video standard (Pal or NTSC)."
    Yep - did that
    Yes actually my older Sony TVR-310 camcorder IS a digital unit which can also play back analog tapes.
    As I'm getting my way around now in FCE, I'm coming to some conclusions in regard to FCE's capture capability.
    First let me say that I've also tried capturing some footage in FCE with my other Sony TVR-950, and have had dropped frames, and also breaks in time code.
    I thought dropped frames were strictly a PC issue?
    Anyway, it appears to me that FCE is VERY sensitive to time code issues NO matter which camera is in the chain.
    In fact, I've also read here where folks have a lot of trouble with their Canon GL2's as well. Some of you have even suggested to do your captures in a cheaper Mini DV, or a clam-shell playback machine. This conserves the heads on your GL2 as well.
    But why would FCE do better in regard to capturing and time code, with a cheaper Mini DV Camcorder? Perhaps I'm missing something here?
    Perhaps iMovie doesn't care about the same issue?
    Now my main question is:
    Ok I'll use iMovie6 HD (tried and true), to capture ALL my footage and just save the DV files to be edited later (imported) into FCE.
    Does this sound like a viable solution to FCE's time code issues?
    Will my iMovie captures be JUST AS GOOD as if they were done in FCE?
    Thanx so much guys!

  • How do I get time stamped Wav files created in L7 to lock to time code?

    Hello everyone,
    I did a search about time stamping audio files and was VERY happy to discover the "broadcast wave" format timestamps audio files! So I'm running tests, but cant seem to get logic to actually place the audio file according to the time stamp!
    Method: I'm currently scoring a film, and have each cue as separate logic files. To sync Logic's timecode and the TC window burn, I set in the "sync" song settings that bar 1 play at the start of the cue (no offset). For example, If I want to start writing a cue at 1:06:27:05, I just tell logic that bar 1 starts at 1:06:27:05 and start writing. Both logics TC & The window burn TC match perfectly. When I bounce, I choose my bars and bounce as a "wave," which creates a file with time code stamped. I verify this by looking at the file in the audio window, which shows a clock icon, as well as the specific smpte time code if you select the file before importing into the audio bin.
    From here, how do I get logic to automatically place the audio files according to their time code? I've tried "import audio" directly into the arrange page as well as dragging the file over from the audio bin and neither work. I've also tried then "cutting" these and "paste at original position" hoping it would read the time code, but instead just pastes it where it was originally imported, not according to the time code.
    So I'm stumped! What am I doing wrong?
    thanks in advance for your help!

    Highlight the regions and then from the audio menu select "move regions to original record positions"

  • A frame with time code could not be found error

    Hey all
    So I just started using Speedgrade with my Premiere CS6 timeline exported as EDL, all RED (R3D) footage. When I input the EDL it only loads about 50% of the clips and pops up a red box like this:
    So after a bit of Googling, the only solution I found was to ensure the time code base match, which I changed from 24fps to 23.976 which is exactly what is in my Premiere sequence. I then had to find the clips and drag them onto the gray box where it says "Reel not loaded". No big deal, took me all of 5 minutes.
    I had also thought the above error was due to me having some high FPS clips in my timeline (120fps to be exact). However, even with no clips in the reels panel showing "Reel not loaded" when I stop at a couple of clips on the timeline I get this:
    And as you can see in the reels panel the clip it is referring to has indeed timecode in that range.
    Anyone have any ideas what could be causing this? I'm pretty sure it's related to the whole time base thing and it's dropping frames, but can't see how this can be true now that I've changed all instances of 24fps in the settings to 23.976 and that's what the Premiere sequence is showing, and also what is in the RED files.
    And here's the metadata for the clip as shown in Red Cine X:
    Cheers.

    Facing many of the same problems over the last four days. It's been a total nightmare. Working on Speedgrade CC with .R3D files and conformed the timeline to match the 23.976 footage, yet I'm still seeing clips get rejected, along with dropped frames which both carry over to output files and seem to cause the program to crash.
    Would love an explanation.

  • Time Code displayed on an External Monitor? Is this possible?

    I'm sure this is a dumb question, but is there a way to view your FC time code on your footage through your external monitor? I selected the show time code overlays from the viewer but it only shows up on the monitor on the computer screen and then goes a way when you play a clip. Is there something I’m missing that will allow me to watch the time code on playback, and on an external monitor? Thanks.

    BIG TIME...by Digital Heaven:
    http://www.digital-heaven.co.uk/bigtime/
    This will allow you to have TC display on one of your computer monitors. You cannot have it display on an external monitor...not on any NLE I know of. Not unless you are outputting to a deck and you have TC on the deck (the SUPER out on the back) routed to the monitor.

  • Importing non-time code Audio

    Hi All,
    I have a project coming up where my audio is coming from old fashioned
    cassette tapes.
    I'm thinking the way about doing this would be to run my audio from the player into my dv deck and capture the audio via fire wire through the usual log and capture method. The only thing is the log/capture seems to always be looking for time code. Is there a way I can capture this non-time code audio and create my audio files?

    To do it the way you are trying, you must go to
    AUDIO VIDEO SETTINGS > DEVICE CONTROL PRESETS and choose
    NON CONTROLLABLE DEVICE.
    The only problem with this method is that you would not to be able to recapture the material again with a timecode that relates to your project.
    If that is an issue then you might consider transferring the cassettes to DV tape first, then capture from that. (no need to select non controllable) When the project is complete, you can safely delete the media files knowing that they exist on tape as a timecode source that you can recapture should the need arise.
    Good Luck

  • Why does timer code (by dbasnett) no longer work splendidly?

    Using timer code supplied by dbasnett back in May2014, I was able to see FPS of near 500 for a simple animation. Now, with a more recent 64bit laptop Win 8.1 - -  I run the same code - - - and see poor results similar to standard timers - - where the
    results are "stepped" - - -like either 16FPS or 32FPS or the max I can get is 64FPS.
    This thread back in May2014  - -https://social.msdn.microsoft.com/Forums/vstudio/en-US/9ddb2f16-796a-483a-aa3f-0f9b959e0eea/the-use-of-systemwindowsformstimer-for-time?forum=vbgeneral

    @ Reed Kimble. Thanks for your point about not being OS related. That make sense anyway.
    @ Mr.Monkeyboy. Thanks for your links and points. I had a bit of a read. Mostly over my head. To me it should'nt be a thread priority question because the program is so simple - there is only one thread anyway.
    And I don't think it is a graphics issue, because I altered the program to only manipulate a bitmap - not activate a paint event -  - - but it still performs poorly. I only get 32 Cycles Per Second instead of 50 CPS. See - this is how I altered the

  • Can't find time code from original footage (captured from mini-DV tape)

    Hi. I'm Old to mac, new to FCE, good at iMovieHD ('06). Just got FCE (4.0.1).
    Imported some footage (a few random practice clips) from a mini-DV tape I shot, but I can only see the time coding for each clip, not where that clip begins and ends in terms of the entire one hour mini-DV tape.
    My log is for the entire mini-DV. So this is a problem.
    I suppose I could re-import the entire 60 minute mini-DV tape from the start, but shouldn't the time code be embedded into each frame?
    Help much appreciated.
    d the h

    You can try the free filter FCE Timecode Display with its default settings to display the original timecode of each clip.
