Stupid Newbie Question-Sending STP back to FCP

So, I send my FCP 6 project to a STP multitrack project. I do some mixing, add sound effects, etc.
Now what? How do I get it back into FCP? Do I even bother? Should I export the audio as AC3 in STP and the video as MPEG-2 and join the two streams in the DVD creator?

First, I duplicate the timeline in FCP so that I keep a timeline intact with original audio. Once I finish my work in STP, I export the mix as an aiff. I bring that aiff into my duplicated timeline in FCP and use it to completely replace the audio in that timeline. There's no way to maintain a multi track project going from FCP to STP and back again. Should you need to open the aiff file in FCP, STP will open the multi track project you originally started with.

Sending multitracks back to FCP

I'm working with HDV. I sent the time line to Color, did my magic and rendered out selected clips on this multi-track timeline. When I sent it back to Final Cut it was okay, then I reopened it later and the clips were not on the time line, but they appeared in the canvas when viewing it, like they were phantom clips? And only their render markers were to be seen....spooky, huh? A few days later someone else opened it and the clips weren't even there, not even on a phantom level, they were completely missing from the timeline.
In addition to this, when I try to open up the rendered color file, the clips are on the timeline but I can't view them, but only the video track under them, with my color corrections on it!
I found a couple of other threads that referred to this issue but only one was answered and I don't think it was exactly the same format I was working with. Does anyone know if there is a setting that I need to adjust or if it would really make the difference to put it all on one track? Has anyone else had this exact same issue? An could you tell me what I'm doing wrong? Thank you in advance.

Thank you for your response. I actually did manage to send it back correctly this time. I think I had responded "no" to quicktime codec originally, also I had tried to just render the shots rather than the timeline in its entirety. I find that the sync problem that is so evident in Color really isn't the issue, it still returns to its original place in FCP if I just match the codec correctly. However, I was surprised to see that my renderings didn't quite look as good as I thought they did in color. Which can quite possibly be a monitor issue.
So yes, its safe to say that its definitely easier with one Vtrack, but its not impossible to work with multiclip. Its just tedious because there's not really a quick and easy way to copy and paste attributes to other clips outside of "drag and drop". If anyone knows of great way, please let me know.
I will use the Media manager option next time I work with it.
Thank you very much.

After sending XML back to FCP, not all clips make it to the timeline :(

The clips I sent from FCP were on 3 video tracks (most of them on the 1st). Mostly DVCProHD 720, with some SD DV and a little 2K (which didn't translate to Color). All clips after the 2K didn't come back to FCP, and none of the clips on the video 2 and video 3 tracks came back, either. I wonder...

There's a question in here somewhere, I'm sure of it...
If your 2K clips were on Layer 1, and COLOR lost the plot there, then nothing on layer 2 or 3 would have been seen either, since clips are numbered consecutively along the Layers, with the first clip on Layer 2 being (last clip # on Layer 1 +1) , and the first clip on Layer 2 being (last clip # on Layer 2 +1) and so on.
Mixed formats are usually a recipe for disaster.

FCP to STP back to FCP now video out of sync

I exported from FCP to STP via multitrack, did my audio edits, then exported back to FCP via xml import. Three video clips in FCP are now out of sequence (they are completely different, like they have different I/O points. These clips are only 1 second long .
Any ideas on why?

I hate when someone doesn't first search threads for answers before posting. That would be ME late last night. After searching, I don't find definitive answers to my issues.
I am using DV NSTC 48Khz preset in FCP.
The FCP Easy setup: Format NTSC, Rate (all rates)
In STP, Preferences, synchronization, frame rate is 30 non-drop. Is this correct?
What is 30/29.97/Drop Frame?
Could this cause my video clips to come back to FCP out of sync and have the wrong I/O points.
I would really like to use STP instead of just doing the sound in FCP.

Newbie question: Send data to printer from ABAP program

Hello, I am a newbie.
I do not use SAPScript nor SmartForms.
But I need to send a printer command stream from my ABAP to printer.
Is it possible?
How can this be possible? Please give me some guideline.
I will reward you points. Promise.
Thanks

hi,
u can send ur program details to printer using submit to sap-spool statement.
SUBMIT TO SAP-SPOOL
Basic form
SUBMIT rep ... TO SAP-SPOOL.
Extras:
1.... DESTINATION dest         ... COPIES cop
        ... LIST NAME name
        ... LIST DATASET dsn
        ... COVER TEXT text
        ... LIST AUTHORITY auth
        ... IMMEDIATELY flag
        ... KEEP IN SPOOL flag
        ... NEW LIST IDENTIFICATION flag

2. ... SPOOL PARAMETERS params
         ... ARCHIVE PARAMETERS arparams
         ... WITHOUT SPOOL DYNPRO
3. ... Further parameters (for passing variants)
        are described in the documentation for SUBMIT
The syntax check performed in an ABAP Objects context is stricter than in other ABAP areas. See Missing print parameters with SUBMIT.
Effect
Calls the report rep with list output to the SAP spool database.
Additions
... DESTINATION dest(output device)
... COPIES cop(number of copies)
... LIST NAME name(name of list)
... LIST DATASET dsn(name of spool dataset)
... COVER TEXT text(title of spool request)
... LIST AUTHORITY auth(authorization for display)
... IMMEDIATELY flag(print immediately ?)
... KEEP IN SPOOL flag(keep list after print ?)
... NEW LIST IDENTIFICATION flag(new spool request ?)
... DATASET EXPIRATION days(number of days list
retained)
... LINE-COUNT lin ( lin lines per page)
... LINE-SIZE col(col columns per line)
... LAYOUT layout(print format)
... SAP COVER PAGE mode(SAP cover sheet ?)
... COVER PAGE flag(selection cover sheet ?)
... RECEIVER rec(SAP user name of
recipient)
... DEPARTMENT dep(name of department)
... ARCHIVE MODE armode(archiving mode)
... ARCHIVE PARAMETERS arparams(structure with archiving
parameters)
... WITHOUT SPOOL DYNPRO(skip print control screen)
With the parameters IMMEDIATELY, KEEP IN SPOOL, NEW LIST IDENTIFICATION and COVER TEXT, flag must be a literal or character field with the length 1. If flag is blank, the parameter is switched off, but any other character switches the parameter on. You can also omit any of the sub-options of PRINT ON. mode with SAP COVER PAGE can accept the values ' ', 'X' and 'D'. These values have the following meaning:
' ' : Do not output cover sheet
'X' : Output cover sheet
'D' : Cover sheet output according to printer setting
armode with ARCHIVE MODE can accept the values '1', '2' and '3'. These values have the following meaning:
'1' : Print only
'2' : Archive only
'3' : Print and archive
arparams with ARCHIVE PARAMETERS must have the same structure as ARC_PARAMS. This parameter should only be processed with the function module GET_PRINT_PARAMETERS.
Effect
Output is to the SAP spool database with the specified parameters. If you omit one of the parameters, the system uses a default value. Before output to the spool, you normally see a screen where you can enter and/or modify the spool parameters. However, you can suppress this screen with the following statement:
... TO SAP-SPOOL WITHOUT SPOOL DYNPRO
You could use this option if all the spool parameters have already been set!
Note
When specifying the LINE-SIZE, you should not give any value > 132 because most printers cannot print wider lists.
Addition 2
... SPOOL PARAMETERS params(structure with print
parameters)
... ARCHIVE PARAMETERS arparams(Structure with archive
parameters)
... WITHOUT SPOOL DYNPRO(skip print parameters
screen)
Effect
Output is to the SAP spool database with the specified parameters. The print parameters are passed by the field string params which must have the structure of PRI_PARAMS. The field string can be filled and modified with the function module GET_PRINT_PARAMETERS. The specification arparams with ARCHIVE PARAMETERS must have the structure of ARC_PARAMS. This parameter should only be processed with the function module GET_PRINT_PARAMETERS. Before output to the spool, you normally see a screen where you can enter and/or modify the spool parameters. However, you can suppress this screen with the following statement:
... WITHOUT SPOOL DYNPRO

Stupid newbie question for A1

How do I use my tablet as a mobile phone

hi tathraman,
If you have a WiFi only tablet, you can try to use apps like Viber, Textplus, or similar to call or send messages. Textplus lets you send free text messages to any mobile phone number in US/Canada.
Best regards,

Probably a stupid Newb question....chkconfig

Hi all,
This is a very nice distro, especially if you wanted to learn linux, not just use it with a pretty GUI, and it has met ( sometimes exceeded ) my expectations.
The searching the forums, using google extensively, the wiki have made the experience most worthwhile. The first distro was mandrake, which lasted about 1 month because I could not learn anything with it. Anyway on to the question at hand.
What is the Arch linux equivalent of chkconfig? Or does one have to download the package itself via pacman?
The reason I ask is that I would like to turn off all unneeded services ( I am a bit of a security hound, at least with a windows box ). The Linux box will just be a workstation for myself, to do email, web surfing, maybe some online buying and eventually development. No remote access to the machine is needed for myself ( as it is off, when I am not using it ).
Hopefully, I phrased the question correctly!
Thanks,
BobL

Thanks for the follow up Phrakture. However, I did not quite follow when you said that chkconfig is a wrapper for make calls. I thought it merely listed running services. I did check on the make command and I cannot find how chkconfig even relates to what you mentioned. Then again the article was mentioned in the context of a RedHat article. So perhaps I am switching terms between different distrubutions....probably not a good idea.
I do know what "wrapping" is...with the programming background I have, I just didn't follow your context.
oh, crap - I mixed it up with checkinstall... my fault :oops: :oops: :oops:

Stupid newbie question

I am trying to learn JSP. To that end, I use published code to learn the syntax. One set of code is the following:
NameHandler.java
package hello;
public class NameHandler {
    private String username;
    public NameHandler() {
        username = null;
    public void setUsername( String name ) {
        username = name;
          public String getUsername() {
        return username;
hellouser.jsp
<%@ page import="hello.NameHandler" %>
<jsp:useBean id="mybean" scope="page" class="hello.NameHandler" />
<jsp:setProperty name="mybean" property="*" />
<html>
<head><title>Hello, User</title></head>
<body bgcolor="#ffffff" background="background.gif">
<%@ include file="dukebanner.html" %>
<table border="0" width="700">
<tr>
<td width="150"> </td>
<td width="550">
<h1>My name is Duke. What's yours?</h1>
</td>
</tr>
<tr>
<td width="150" </td>
<td width="550">
<form method="get">
<input type="text" name="username" size="25">
<br>
<input type="submit" value="Submit">
<input type="reset" value="Reset">
</td>
</tr>
</form>
</table>
<%
    if ( request.getParameter("username") != null ) {
%>
<%@ include file="response.jsp" %>
<%
%>
</body>
</html>There are three other files, but the problem is not necessarily with the other parts. I compiled the java file and have both the .java and .class file in the same folder. I then packaged the site and uploaded it to my hosting site. When I try to run hellouser.jsp, I get the following error:
The value for the useBean class attribute hello.NameHandler is invalid
Now, I did try to find out what the error means on the Internet, but I got somewhat confused. There was suggestions of changing scope to type in the header of the .jsp file. Others suggested declaring a public default constructor. Since I am a newbie to Java and JSP program, I am not exactly sure what that is. Also, the site that published this code had very specific places for folders and their contents for the file to be run. Sadly, I can't exactly copy this structure. How can I tell the code to find the resources it is looking for?
Thank you for your time.

Hello,
you have not included code where you are actually using the bean, something like
username = request.getParameter("username");
mybean.setUsername(username);If you want this bean to be available to all pages in the application change the scope to session
<jsp:useBean id="mybean" scope="session" class="hello.NameHandler" />Sometimes when adding a new class such as NameHandler you need to restart the web server for it to be detected.
Regarding the constructor, you need a "zero argument constructor", which you have done, i.e. there are no parameters in the brackets for NameHandler().
Instead of using null you could try initialising the variable with
private String username = "";but I dont think the problem lies with your class, more likely to be the way you are trying to use it within the JSP

Newbie question: sending IMs within household network only?

I just bought my teen a MacBook, and would like to send/receive instant messages between our Macs over our own household AirPort WiFi network. However, my wife and I are not ready to allow her to send/receive IMs with the outside world just yet.
Is there any setting in iChat that allows IMs to be shared only with those signed into the household network?
I have both my own .Mac account and AIM identity; she has neither. I have never used iChat, only have experience with AIM.
Thanks,
-Jeff

Under the account you could change the privacy to allow specific people. With that option you could add your own family's AIM/.Mac names to that list and she would only be able to talk to them.

Sorry for the stupid newb questions, don't want to make a bad buy

and I am pretty much an idiot when it comes to technology.
Here's what I am looking for. Hopefully, one of you kind souls who are far smarter than I am, can point me in the right direction.
I want an MP3 player for working out. I would really like it to be able to do the following:
-shuffle playlists I add in without always going through the same songs in the same order.
-be able to be used with an armband, or at the very least, a belt clip. (definitely prefer armband though)
-hold enough music to be able to get me through about 2 hours worth of working out.
-be able to withstand a fair amount of shock and wear and tear, as I also do martial arts training. (no, I am not going to try to cleave anyone with it)
One of the things I kept noticing when trying to read through specs, was the listed bit rates for songs in MP3 format. Virtually everything I have is at 320, but the highest I've seen listed is 28.
I'm assuming it will still work, but I wanted to make absolutely sure because I would get extremely frustrated to find out I had to redo a rather huge collection of music.
I was looking at Creative NOMAD? MuVo? 2 as a logical choice, but I wanted to see if I could get an expert opinion on what might be better. Is 52MB going to be enough machine for what I want, or do I need to look at something in the GB and up dept. Also, how much of a beating will it take? Is there a better choice, even if it costs more money?
Also, are the players that start at like 5GB pretty bulky? I would think they would be, which is a big cause for concern. I have enough trouble lifting my weights, without worrying about cramping up while trying to lug a piece of Samsonite filled with melodic electrons. Any input would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks for your help.

If you're expecting the player to be bumped around I would strongly suggest you get a flash player. The largest you can get is Gb (I think either the MuVo N200 or V200), and you've already mentioned the MuVo? 52Mb player which is equally good. Not sure sure if the MuVo N200/V200 shuffle, but I'm sure the MuVo? does.
All Creative players will play 320 kbit/s, this is the highest rate you can encode at for MP3/WMA.

Probably a Stupid Newbie Question, but....

Picked up a 8300 series Curve a couple of weeks ago. Had it synched with my Outlook on my pc. About a week ago the synch stopped working and I noticed that when the phone was plugged into the USB cord the little charger symbol would only stay lit up for about 7 seconds before disappearing. On the Desktop Manager screen its says "Device Connected: (PIN): None" Thinking it was perhaps a faulty USB cord (after unplugging and restarting it several times) I bought a new USB Cord, and now the charger symbol won't even light up and it remains "Device Connected: (PIN): None"
Wondering if anyone has any suggestions?
Thanks

First off, I would suggest uninstalling and reinstalling Desktop Manager.

Stupid newbie question camera card readers

Hello, Well I just purchased a G5 and now I'm ready to open the box. But I want to know if the computer has built in camera memory card reader. I'm not finding anything on the box or under specifications on the website. I don't want to open the box if it does not have a card reader - might need to return the unit without a re-stocking fee. So does a PowerPC G5 iMac have a built in reader? Or do I need an outboard reader?
Thanks
G5 Mac OS X (10.4.5)

Welcome to the discussions!
You might have wanted to look into this before you tied up that kind of cash.
No Mac of any model or generation has a built-in card reader. All Macs have plenty of USB ports to attach a camera or USB card reader to.
Don't let this be a deal breaker. If you are switching, Macs have a lot to offer, even if they don't have a card reader.

Stupid newbie question here: When setting up for hot sync, both PC and smartphone will ask for "device name" but how do I know which devide I'm naming? If I'm on the phone, do I specify the phone or the computer; and vice versa.

Hello and thank you for using the Palm Help Forums!
It's more like naming the partnership. By "naming" your device is doesn't do anything harmful. If you name it Pat's Treo, when syncing it tot he computer, hotsync will say "Syncing with Pat's Treo." You can name your device Fido for all it matters.

Sending Color project back to FCP

Hello Guys,
I am completely new to Color, so I apologize for this silly question.
After grading my footage in Color, I am sensing it to Render Queue for render.
When it's done I go FILE/SEND TO/Final Cut.
First, it asks me if I want to change graded FCP sequence to match QT export codec.???
So that's the first problem, I have no idea what exactly that means??? (I had sent it from FCP to Color in ProRes and set Color Project Settings also to ProRes) so what should I change?
But the main problem is: When I send it back to FCP, footage looks exactly as it looked before being sent to Color. No grade changes. So I am wondering ... what do I miss?
Thank you for any advise.

Thanks for your help jPop.
I didn't use smoothcam. I sent my video from FCP to Color and then I applied a tracker to the pan&scan to do a tracking on the face of my character. I tried importing the "raw" files directly into Color without going through FCP and it did produced a file in the render file. The tracking was there but the image was cut in two... The frame is separated in two parts horizontally, making some kind of tile effect. First time I see something like that.
I found this on the online user manual of Color:
"Animating Pan & Scan parameters is not recommended for projects you’ll be sending back to Final Cut Pro, since neither keyframes nor tracker data can be sent back." :s
I'm going to try again with uncompressed video to see if that makes a difference. Do you think I could use the video that Color send to the render file and import that in FCP? If it is not cut in two...
Best wishes

Color wont send back to FCP- crashes

Really big problem here. Just finished a rather large grade project in color- about 6mins long, but many many cuts. Have rendered the clips in color, and am trying to send it back to FCP for the master.
Problem is- color keeps crashing. Soon as i hit "send to FCP" color quits.
In need of some urgent help!
Thanks-

Only one way to do this -
Re install Color 1.0 (I got a second internal drive and did a system FCP 2.0 installon to it - then I copied the color 1.0 ap to a separate directory on my main drive so I had both 1.0 and 1.01 on there)
Open the graded rendered project in 1.0 and try send to FCP - it should work - Apple broke this in the upgrade and seem to be too busy with I phones and Leopards to fix it.
