Stuck in Rendering ****....

I have a Canon HV-20 and Canon HF100. I want to intermix images, but the HV-20 comes in at 1440x1080 and the AVCHD at 1920x1080. So I get the red "must-render" line whenever I throw AVCHD into the mix. And again whenever I make a slight edit.
There must be a way to force the HF100 files to 1440x1080. I've tried the "conform" button in the edit tab, but don't see any difference.
I'm obviously missing some simple thing but I don't know what it is.
Any thoughts?
/john

Thanks, I'll check into that setting, if there is one.
But now that it's shot is there a way to down-convert it to match the HV-20 footage? Or do I just keep hitting the render button?'
Tnx.

Stuck on "Rendering Standard Previews"

After importing images, Lightroom (2.4) is getting stuck in the "Rendering Standard Previews" process. I have been sitting here for over an hour while Lightroom is stuck at 6 of 117. This happened on an earlier import as well, and I ended up canceling that process -- it was stuck on 1 of 6.
Has anyone else seen this, and is there a fix?
Thanks,
Nick

Actually, I seem to also be stuck on "Preparing File for Editing" as I try to process a photo in Photoshop. Somehow the "process" process is getting stuck.

XML dataset stucks in rendering on html page

Hi
When i choose a test.xml file with 'insert - spry dataset', 'datatype xml', the datapreview in the 'set data options' window display the data correctly.
In the 'choose insert options' i choose 'insert table'. I don't use the setup button there, leaving it to default settings, and click 'done'.
Seems to be correct.
In the design window, the columnheaders are displayed, with the fields name between brackets, like below:
Datum     Inhoud     Link
{datum}     {inhoud}     {link}
the values are not visible in designview.
But in liveview, the page is completely blank.
I'm not hosting it yet on a testsite. Just trying out how to insert XML data in a HTML file.
According to the tutotials it should work - but it doesn't...
the pieces of code in the html that were automatically added:
    <script src="file:///C|/Users/Frank Buurman/AppData/Roaming/Adobe/Dreamweaver CS4/en_US/Configuration/Temp/Assets/eamA7B0.tmp/xpath.js" type="text/javascript"></script>

Could you please help me out ?
tnx a lot !

I have no testing server yet.
The hourglas is in Dreamweaver itself, when rendering the xml sprite - not in a browser.
Attached is a testing html (with associated css and js files) in wich i tried to insert the xml.
When i tried the same on a blank html page (in the same dir), the spry table insertion works fine .
But not within the contentarea of this index.html.
Could it be because of the 'accordion.js' ?
Or the css ?
I really have no idea...
tnx
(ps i've left out the images folder)

Final Cut Express occasionally renders audio "out of order"

I'm running into a very occasional problem, which is just rare and random enough to not be recreatable on demand, and so is proving difficult to troubleshoot.
In a nutshell, sometimes - not very often - when I render an audio stream it will report an estimate of 6 hours or more for something even as small as a 1-second transition. This is not a composite or layered video or audio by any means, just a standard cross-disolve/cross-fade (+3) between two adjacent clips. When this type of extreme estimate occurs, I may find afterward that rendered audio in the sequence has been moved around, sort of like a shell game. Usually this anomaly only happens over a minute or less of the project. Trying to describe this, a portion of the rendered audio from one part of the timeline will replace a portion of rendered audio elsewhere -- as if some audio render segments have gotten linked out-of-order. If memory serves, the displaced audio so far has always appeared earlier in the timeline than it should. The replaced audio just doesn't seem to appear anywhere. So far, if I remove the associated audio render files and re-render, it fixes the problem, but I'm trying to sort out what is causing the behaviour in the first place so that I can take steps to keep it from happening at all. It raises havoc with trying to meet deadlines when I'm stuck re-rendering sometimes entire segments....
For some details about the environment:
     System is a Mac Book Pro, 2.4GHz Intel core duo, 4GB RAM, OSX 10.5.8.
     I'm using FCE4, importing SD clips for TV production from Sony cameras (sorry, I'm not part of the camera crew, and I can't recall the exact model number of their cameras - they are all the same model though, configured the same, so no known variables from that end).
     The cameras record standard-def MPG (Mpeg layer 2, so yes I convert them before importing into FCE), I convert them using the ffmpeg library. I tried FFMPEGX, but I find I have far more control over video/audio parameters and combinations with the command-line version. The parameters I use result in a Quicktime (.mov) file with these parameters: 16-bit integer (little-endian), stereo, 48kHz, DV 720x480 (640x480), Millions (of colors). FCE is generally quite happy with these parameters, and does not require immediate rendering of the audio or video - unless plugins are applied of course. As far as plugs, I generally only use the built-in FCE plugs for comp/lim and parametric EQ. If I have to get much more detailed than that, I'll go to Digital Performer (read on).
     In some cases the audio of the original clips is in quite a bad state, and requires far more detailed restoration than FCE can provide. As I am primarily an audio engineer, I rely on Digital Performer and friends for audio restoration, exporting from there a new clip, usually duplicating the original video (self-contained), though sometimes I do let DP export a reference movie. Final Cut doesn't seem to have any trouble with the .mov files exported from DP either way, and this anomaly doesn't seem to care whether the clips involved were processed by DP or not.
     Disk space, memory, and CPU load are all well within acceptable ranges; and with my previous years of experience as a systems admin, I am well aware of the system impact and ramifications of using internal vs external disks, memory allocation, disk filesystem operating overhead, etc.
As I've mentioned, this is not a show-stopper, I have a work-around to correct it when it happens. It's just a bit of a bugger *when* it happens, and I really wish I could work out the root cause of it, so that I can take steps to avoid the problem in the first place. Any suggestions/insight/help would be greatly appreciated, thank you! :-)

Thank you for your response.
Grr. I had a nice response ready to post, and apparently the system logged me out and wouldn't let me log in while keeping the text. I'll condense it a bit, since I've stumbled across some additional points to ponder while typing.
The clip:
And the sequence:
Yes, I see that the clip is 16-bit integer and the sequence supports 32-bit float, but this should not pose a problem since modern digital audio processing up-converts smaller sample formats to larger ones on the fly for processing, and exports whatever format is desired at the end. If this *was* the problem, I should always be off by a ratio of 2:1 on all audio data, but I'm not.
Additional notes: the system generally has Firewire, USB, and network mounts (all required for my work), and the internal drive (which *is* 7200RPM) is partitioned into a system and a user area to keep audio and video projects out of the system's disk space. Most main clips for a project are placed on the internal user space for speed, externals hold auxilliary files (stills, adverts, livetype, etc).
It was at this point in my previous typing that I began to realise that the anomaly seems to begin in sync with some random livetype object. It then extends a bit past the livetype object, so it's not locked to that object; and multiple instances of the same livetype object DO NOT result in multiple instances of the audio anomaly; it only hits a single instance; and again it usually cleans up when the audio render files are removed and re-processed.
This leads me to wonder about a possible odd combination of events/processes on the system, and whether or not FCE handles livetype natively or requires a livetype helper (i.e., another process stuffed into the system table). This sort of external influence would be a transient sort of event, and therefore could easily be out of the way by the time second render attempt is begun - resulting in the "fix" by removing and re-generating audio render files.
It makes sense to me, but it's still hypothesis and supposition at this point.

After Effects CS6 - Very slow workflow

Hi everyone, my first writing in adobe forums. I've contacted 3 adobe support agents, but I didn't get much help from them. Recently I switched from PC to Mac Pro, having Adobe Production Premium 5.5 for Windows and now upgraded to Adobe Production Premium 6.
First I tried a trial of After Effects CC and I was surprised how slow it is. Now I'm using AE CS6 full version and it's a bit better, but still pretty dang slow. (The video I made for adobe support explaining the problem is here: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-jsZZpH0vYU )
To try to cut long story short. In the video adove, I've created couple of text layers and couple of shape layers. Made them 3D. Added a camera too. When I move the camera, everything is refreshing extremly slow. It's like you're having 100 3D layers and very busy scene,
and actually it's few most simplest 3D layers. The agents from adobe support told me to switch to half rez, or draft mode etc. But the problem is, I do not want to work in half rey, draft mode or something similar, with my configuration it should work pretty normal. Never
had these kind of problems in AE CS5.5. I tried everything, updated the software, updated my Mac OS, disabled global cache, even disabled multiprocessing etc. Btw, rendering is okay.
Is this the way CS6 is made? Is it supposed to be slow? Because, literally I got an answer from the agent that AECS6 is designed like that, in other words, to be slow
I really have no idea anymore how to make this work. I would like to get back to my lovely 5.5, but I only have license for Windows. If you guys could help me, I would really appriciate that.
I use:
* Mac Pro
* 2 x 2,4 GHz 6-Core Intel Xeon
* 64 GB 1333 MHz DDR3
* ATI Radeon HD 5870 1024MB
* 2TB HDD
* 2 x Apple LED Cinema Display 27"
* After Effects CS6 - 11.0.2.11
* Mac OS X 10.8.4
* I haven't had this problems ever before (using ae for quite some time)
* At the moment no 3rd party plugins installed
Thanks!

You'll have to get used to creating Ram Previews and using AE's interface in the right way. You should really go through the getting started materials on the home page and take a look at the FAQ. AE is a layer based pixel calculating beast that will do a lot more to a movie at 60 frames per second than Photoshop will do on to a still image. After Effects is essentially Photoshop for movies with a lot more options.
If you want to smoothly drag through the timeline and playback multiple cuts with simple transitions and two or three layers then use Premiere Pro. If you need to use 20 layers and 60 effects to create a stunning composite or motion graphics effect then you're stuck with rendering at just about any price point.

Client side event for h:outputText... and other JSF component

Hello friends...
I need client side (to use Java script ) event for change in <h:outputText /> or <h:inputText...>.
I want to open a popup window when there is a change in there. I donot want to use onblur() for this. Is there any thing for achiev it.
Thanks.

Hi Jacek,
Unfortunately I think you may be stuck extending Renderer. Another possibility is creating your component via a template, which will be available in JSF 2.0. However, as JSF 2.0 won't be out for a while... you can use JSFTemplating in the meantime:

Good luck!

Premiere Pro CC periodically causes Mac to freeze for 1-2 minutes

I'm working in Premiere Pro CC on OSX 10.8.4 and every once in a while my entire Mac will freeze/stall/hang for 1-2 minutes. During the freeze, the mouse cursor dissapears and the keyboard doesn't work. Once the freeze is done, everything resumes and works like normal.
Things that seem to trigger this event are adjusting effects sliders on layers that have transparency, alpha channels, or low opacity. I mostly work with Quicktime MOV files that have alpha channels and use fonts with an opacity set to 78%.
One time this even happened after I did an export media, and the preview window on the export media panel was stuck at "Rendering Preview".
I'm using one of those newer iMac machines and it has an NVIDIA GeForce GTX 680MX 2048 MB video card. In the project settings, my video rendering and playback is set to "Mercury Playback Engine GPU Accelleration (OpenCL)". I will next try setting it to CUDA to see what happens.

Hi,
I just watched a video podcast for about 30 min - suddenly the video froze, audio went on for a couple of seconds - then the fireball came up for 1 min. Then the video started again for 10 sec and froze again.
Any idea what could be wrong here?
Thanks,
Johannes

Must render every file first????

Hi,
From reading other posts this sounds like it may be a firewire/pci card/ external hard drive issue. I cannot import onto my external hd (which is set up for Mac OS extended) from FCP. I either have to import onto the G5's internal HD then copy onto the external hd or use iMovie to import clips directly to external hd. But now that they are there, when I bring them into a FCP project, they hiccup in the viewer and when I drag them into the timeline, they all have to be rendered first. I have never had that problem. It is already a hassle enough the way I have to get clips onto the external hd, am I stuck with rendering each clip or is there a setting that I must not have right.
Thanks
Dave
PS Each clip plays just fine as a standalone Quicktime File.

Don't capture with iMovie. It saves as a different type of file that FCP does not like.
Make sure your sequence settings match the clips you are putting on there (which will be impossible for files captured in imovie). The biggest cause of having to render every file is sequence settings that don't match the video clips being put on the sequence.
Search first. This comes up daily.

No "Short delay" message = slow workflow

Prior to this round of changes, we got the now-familar "Your message has been posted {...} short delay" confirmation when we submitted a post. It allowed us to edit the message immediately if desired, which it displayed in 'preview' form.
To the extent there must be a short (or not so short) delay before the message is visible in the forum's list, this was a good feature: not only did it allow immediate editing, it also allowed us to jump to any point in the path to the topic using the path links (like Apple.com > Support > Discussions > Using Apple Discussions > Feedback about Discussions) if we wanted to, instead of being forced to wait out the delay while doing nothing, & then being returned to the topic, whether that is where we wanted to go next or not.
It also avoided the uncertainty over if it was accepted before an all too frequent interruption of service/server not found/"We are sorry" error occurred, which appears to be a common reason for duplicate posts.
As it stands now, it appears there will always be a delay before the post is visible, & not infrequently that discussions.apple.com will go offline before the delay is complete.
For all these reasons, I hope that the "short delay" confirmation feature is restored.

After effects CS6 too slow on Mac Pro (simple tasks)

Hi everyone,
I've been trying to find a solution here, but I don't know why my Mac Pro (2010 8 core, 6 RAM, ATI Radeon HD 5770 1024 MB) is this slow even when I use the pen tool when applying a stroke to a text. Why could this be? Some setting that I have to change? It's kind of intermitent. Some times it works well (if I reboot) .But I can't work like this. Sometimes I have to wait even to click on File.
Thanks a lot in advance

CS5.5 question

Everytime I go to shutdown the program, it ends up 'not responding' in task manager and at the top of the window for the software and I have to 'End Task' it in task manager. How do I remedy this?
EDIT: Are there any known issues with this software and NVidia beta drivers 310.70? I'm using a GTX 690

When I go to export a video, the export window is stuck on 'rendering...' in the video preview area. The same thing happens when i try to use Adobe Media Encoder. The preview for the video is stuck on 'rendering...' And i haven't started rendering anything yet.
When I press the Export button or Start queue, both programs give me an error message.
EDIT: I've cleared the media cache files and deleted all render preview files.

Report keeps running in Report Manager

Hi,
I have a report with around 300,000 records and has 25 columns. It has 5 row groups, toggling and sorting set on it which dynamically gets changed based on report parameters. So, based on what parameter is selected the 5 columns gets interchanged and accordingly
grouping, sorting and toggling on them. We have also heavily used many expressions, subtotals and total on the report. In short it is a very complex report.
I have couple of questions -
1) ExecutionLog is displaying the RenderingTime but still report output is not displayed on ReportManager?
2) I feel it is getting stuck while rendering so how to troubleshoot the same?
Any other suggestion to fix the issue would be highly appreciated.

Hi M_MAG,
According to your description, you have a large complex report which takes too long to render on Report Manager. Right?
In this scenario, it takes long time one data retrieval and processing, you can take reference to the articles below to optimize you report:
Troubleshooting Reports: Report Performance
Reporting Services Performance and Optimization
Also this long data retrieval and processing time may cause the time out issue, so we suggest you adjust timeouts in configuration files:
C:\Program Files\Microsoft SQL Server\MSSQL.2\ReportingServices\ReportManager\Web.config C:\Program Files\Microsoft SQL Server\MSSQL.2\Reporting Services\ReportServer\Web.config
<httpRuntime executionTimeout="18000"/>
C:\Program Files\Microsoft SQL Server\MSSQL.2\Reporting Services\ReportServer\rsreportserver.config
<Add Key="SQLCommandTimeoutSeconds" Value="18000"/>
<Add Key="MaxActiveReqForOneUser" Value="20"/>
<Add Key="DatabaseQueryTimeout" Value="18000" />
Also:
Report Manager->Site settings->Report Execution Timeout->select “do not timeout report execution”. And we suggest you cache your report on Report Manager. Please refer to the link below:
Caching SSRS Reports for Performance
Reference:
Setting Time-out Values for Report and Shared Dataset Processing (SSRS)
If you have any question, please feel free to ask.

Stuck halfway through rendering artwork

Hi there.
I am on a Mac. I have been using Illustrator without problems for the last couple of weeks. This evening I was working on a simple graphic; I attempted to use the 3-D effect again, having used it with no problems during the evening. Illustrator immediately froze (after throwing me out a couple of times) and just get stuck halfway through rendering the artwork. The file is only 1.4 meg so I don't see why it should struggle. I've tried to turning off and on again, every time I open the file the bad just get stuck halfway through rendering the artwork. Frustrating. Please help thank you

Thanks for your reply, Larry. Sorry it has taken me a while to notice that you kindly tried to assist me. In the end I just rebooted and it seemed to sort itself out. Thanks again for taking the time. Merry Christmas to you.

HT204534 I activated filevault 4 days ago and it has rendered my macbook pro unworkable. There is no estimated time showing in firevault, it seems stuck in the same place. It will not let me turn off firevault in Sec&P or CMD+R

OS X YOSEMITE 10.10.1. 13inch late 2011 2.4 GHz DDR3 500 gig
AFter installing Yosemite and enabling Firevault my machine has become so slow it is unusable whilst encrypting is in progress.
It will not let me turn it off.
THe estimated time remaining has never revealed itself ... it has been encrypting now for 4 days and the guider has not moved from its one quarter position.
IT will not allow me to turn it off via CMD+R
I am absolutely stuck.
HELP!
I have removed the power save options and keep the computer on all the time now with the Firevault screen visible .. nothing speeds it up.
I regret enabling Firevault .. but it is so unforgiving for the uninformed ... like me.

Back up all data before proceeding. There are ways to back up a computer that isn't fully functional. Ask if you need guidance.
Start up in Recovery mode. When the OS X Utilities screen appears, select Disk Utility. In the Disk Utility window, select the icon of the startup volume from the list on the left. Then, from the menu bar, select
File ▹ Turn Off Encryption
Enter the login password of a user authorized to unlock the volume, or the alternate decryption key that was generated when you activated FileVault.
You can then restart as usual, if the system is working. Decryption will be completed in the background. It may take several hours, and during that time performance will be reduced.

PS4 rendering very "hot" compared to Bridge and LR2- HELP I am stuck

Have done all kinds of tests and still get a difference nearly equal to setting the vibrance to +50 and the saturation to +6 in LR2 to somewhat equal the look of the imported image in PS2.
Here are the facts:
I have used Bridge to convert the NEFs into DNGs using Camera Standard for the D700 with no other changes;
Lightroom 2 and Bridge give the same rederings in terms of colors and relationships of color to each other. PS4 however, adds lots of yelow, brightens reds and blows highlights. I have opened the file three ways in PS4, three attempts through Bridge with Save and convert, another time with Save and option click, another time with Open. All three methods look equally bad. I have opened the file directly through PS4, not using Bridge. Just as bad.
Now here is the interesting part: when I take spot readings for the image in Bridge and the image in PS4, I get the same numbers.
For example: R,G,B for Bridge: 232,205,162 PS4: 232,205,163.
Should look the same, right?
PS4 Color Settings: Prophoto RGB, Gray gamma 2.2,Dot gain 10%,Convert to working profile, ask for mismatch, Engine: Adobe ACE, all other options not checked.
If I desturate monitor colors by about 15% the image looks closer to Bridge and LR2, but is still more yellow. This is not a good solution for printing reasons, however.
PS4 version 11.0.1 Mac OS/X version: 10.5.8 (not using the latest which is SnowLeopard.)
I have sent the query to Adobe Support, but suspect they'll tell me I don't have support and then there is a time lag, also.
Camera Raw: 5.5.097, PS4 11.01, LR2: 2.5 with Camera Raw 5.5 in the dialog box
WHAT VARIABLE HAS NOT BEEN CHANGED?

Yes, sorry, you did mention that the Zoom has replaced the Netgear. Regardless, if the Zoom is providing the NAT & DHCP services ... which I would assume that it is by default, the AEBSn should be reconfigured as a bridge.
With AEBSn still configured as a bridge, please try the following:
o Power-down the Zoom, AEBSn, and computer(s); wait at least 10-15 minutes.
o While the equipment is powered-down, connect one of your computers directly to any available LAN port on the AEBSn using an Ethernet cable.
o Power-up the Zoom; wait at least 10-15 minutes.
o Power-up (plug-into power) the AEBSn; wait at least 5-10 minutes.
o Power-up the computer connected by Ethernet.
The computer should now be able to gain Internet access. Please post back your results.
