Time code problems.....

Hello! Have a 2G phone, newest software, and a problem: The time code of the short messages is totaly wrong?! Any one else has that problem?
E.G. getting a short message at 14.00, it is indicated with 6 a.m.?!
Greets from Germany, Andreas

I don't have an iphone but a friend did and had this problem.
Turns out it was set to the wrong time zone.
check your time zone, most likely in preferences...

  • Help! time code problem

    I am just trying to batch capture some footage with no known time-code breaks but I keep getting a notice saying it was unable to read time-code and that I may have not created sufficiant room for pre-post roll blah blah. How can I fix this?

    hi KK
    when you logged the tape, how close to the head of the tape did you log?
    you have to be sure not to log withing the first few seconds, because when FCP does the capture it needs about 3 seconds to before the capture point for 'pre-roll' (which allows the camera/deck play the tape and lock onto the timecode before it hits the capture point) ...
    you can change the pre and post roll settings in the Final Cut Pro > Audio/Video Settings > Device Contol tab
    hope it helps

  • Batch capure/Time code problem

    Having big issues with the batch capture option i FCP.
    I had these problem a while back and someone suggested leaving a 5sec gap between clip. I have done this but on this particular project the batch capture problem is back.
    What other trouble shooting would you suggest on this problem.
    Using a Canon XH A1 with FCP 6
    Thanks

    Change your device control setting to "non controllable device" then use capture now and play the tape back manually... hit escape to stop the capture.
    It ignores the timecode.
    Or dub the tape via FW between two cameras/deck etc... and get new TC that way.

  • Export  to tape Time code problem

    Premiere Elements 3.0
    During "Export to Tape" operation, the "End Timecode" is stuck at 13 minutes even though the edited video is 30 minutes long. There does not seem to be an obvious way to set this parameter. I can't get the whole thing to transfer. Ideas, please!

    Can I have that in writing? I get so many arguments to contrary, William.
    Glad I could help though!

  • Time Code Sync Problem

    I am new to final cut, and have been having a very tough time with a project that I am working on. In short, I am attempting to create a music video, and I began by laying the music tracks down first. As I go to cover the music with video, the video that I lay over the music is about two to three seconds off from the time code in which I set an in point on the source material.
    As you can imagine, this is giving me quite a headache as I have to back-time my in point on the source material to accommodate this error. The same glitch is occurring with other projects as well. Although I am new to final cut, I am experienced with other programs, and have never had anything of this nature happen, especially with such a basic project.
    Any help would be greatly appreciated!

    Yes, thanks for your interest. I began by laying down the audio tracks on channels one and two. When editing video over the tracks, I set an in and out point on the timeline, and drag my video material into the viewer display. I then set an in point on the raw video, and select "overwrite" in the canvas display.
    At this point, the clip will drop to the timeline and display a thumbnail corresponding to the clip in which I set an in point. When I render the video, and look at the timeline, the video is two to three seconds ahead of what I had marked as an in point.
    I have experimented with this by starting a new project and simply setting an in and out point on the source material and adding it to an empty timeline. As before, the video will be offset by a couple seconds.
    Thanks for your feedback!

  • 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!

  • Messy code problem while translating XString to String in OfficeControl

    Hi Expert,
        I have messy code problem while translating XString to String in XML-Format Word Doc in OfficeControl.
    I upload an XML-Format template Word Doc to server as a MIME Object.
    When OfficeControl is started in Web Dynpro, OfficeControl automatically open the XML-Format template.
    For the first time, I get the XString-type Context attribute bind to the content of the Word Doc,
    then translate it to string, I got the XML-format content, it's great!
    However, after the first time, when I input any new contents in MS Word in Web Dynpro,
    no matter I execute "Ctrl + S" or click the "savedocument" button,
    when I translate the XString Context attribute to String, I got messy code. (but the first time, it is good plain text)
    I use the function module: ECATT_CONV_XSTRING_TO_STRING (good for first time, dump after first time),
    SCMS_XSTRING_TO_BINARY, SCMS_BINARY_TO_STRING (good for first time, messy code after first time).
    My Demo source code is in: (system) SMV --> (local object) zhaode --> (Dynpro Component) ztest_office_control
    core source code is as:
    clear itab.
    CALL FUNCTION 'SCMS_XSTRING_TO_BINARY'
    EXPORTING
    BUFFER = lv_datas
    IMPORTING
    OUTPUT_LENGTH = lv_length
    TABLES
    binary_tab = itab.
    CALL FUNCTION 'SCMS_BINARY_TO_STRING'
    EXPORTING
    input_length = lv_length
    mimetype = 'text/plain; charset=utf-8'
    IMPORTING
    text_buffer = lv_datas_string
    output_length = lv_data_len
    TABLES
    binary_tab = itab.
    Can you give me some advice?
    Many thanks in advance.

  • Time offset problems with file i/o

    Hello everyone, I'm having a problem with the file i/o VI's. I require my application to save serial data at constant five minute intervals. The problem I'm currently seeing is that on each save to a file a time offset is being added which eventually becomes seconds, then minutes and so on. Since this application is meant to be run for a whole year this is a serious problem.
    Attached is the VI, an Arduino program simulating how the DAQ sends data and a file showing my time offset problem. 
    Any ideas/suggestions/fixes are appreciated.
    Thanks
    Jose Molina
    P.S.
    To run the VI upload the code to an Arduino, select it's serial port in the popup VI then click on Ok. The VI will wait for a time that is a modulo of 5 then create a folder structure inside the same location as the LLB. Inside this folder structure should be a file with the data which should be saved every five minutes if left at the default averaging time.

    Sorry I forgot to mention that the averaging time is configurable in the pop up vi at the start. I tried 20 seconds because it's much faster for testing than 5 minutes. Timing is being done by a simple counter that increments each time data is received. So if I receive data the timer increments by 5 because data is sent every 5 seconds. Once the timer is equal to the averaging time the data is sent to the enqueue function and then the blocking dequeue function on the second loop sends the data to the file save vi which then saves the data to the file.

  • 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.

  • 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

  • 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.

  • Time Code discrepancies

    Hi all
    Does anybody have an idea how to get FCP to display the correct time and key code of the clips I am importing in my timeline? The clips are telecines the contain both video tc and film frame numbers.
    Thanks

    I was given file based stuff. The tc cinema tools sees is of by two frames. The key code once you set it up (according to the burned one) is OK. In Quick time, in one machine the time code shows correctly in the other the tc track is not checked and cannot be read or extracted. Once in FCP, in one machine the code is off by a minute, in the other, the file cannot even be imported getting the message that the file (the same as the file name) is missing and the movie will not play. I tried everything I could think of, i.e. resetting FCP and QT (via preferences and cashes) getting rid of third party codecs I have leaving only the fcp ones. The material was given to me as 8 bit uncompressed video but whatever I do the problems remain. I even converted it to dvcpro 50 and imported the tc (in the machine where qt can read it) but the problem remains. FCP either does not read the code correctly or, in the case of the second mac, does not import the file. I guess this is how one can get hooked to drugs...

  • Placing a time code generator

    I am trying to place a time code generator on my sequence. It keeps failing. I receive "invalid file error" and "missing plug-ins" messages. What is the real problem and how can it be corrected?

    Sorry, I can not duplicate the error. The standard answers would be try trashing your preferences and if that doesn't work, a re-install.

  • Drop Frame video (29.97) with Non-Drop Frame Time Code

    Howdy All,
    I understand that DF TC & Non-Drop frame TC are numbering issues and not frame
    count issues, That said,
    If I have an encoded file captured from an analog Beta Cam SP that has NDF TC
    and that file has been encoded as 29.97, so that the resulting file has
    a Frame rate of 29.97 with NDF TC from the source tape,
    1) Does this constitute an error?.
    2) Will this cause problems for the next guy?.
    (having been "The Next Guy" in the past I prefer to handle such things on this end if it requires handling)
    I have been looking for a straight answer but this specific cause/effect
    is tough to track down.
    Thanks in advance for any assistance,
    KA

    Well, starting as a linear editor I can tell you jam syncing and converting to DF will really screw up the TC. Every 10 seconds you'll have a TC number that's incompatible with the DF counting sequence.
    If these are source tapes, you have nothing to worry about. I actually prefer NDF source while editing (I'm very old school) beacuse if I trim 5 frames on a mark I can calculate in my head where the new point would land regarding TC. With DF, I trim and often have to do a double take because the math didn't make sense.
    Do NOT ever alter the time code on any source material unless you have a capture failure that you have absolutely no other way of working around.
    Anyone can mix DF and NDF source time code on any system without any issues. The only problem with NDF is determining EXCACT running time of a completed program when delivering for broadcast.

  • Time code and line input

    Greetings all,
    I am trying to import 16X9 beta footage into my FCP. Since I don't have a Kona card or other direct imput device, I am having to go through my JVC BR-HD50 tape deck as a line input. Then set the FCP to import from a noncontrolable device. It works, with only one problem. I obviously can't get the original timecode that way. Is there a way to change the time code once it's in FCP or, is there a way to do it as it is being brought in?
    Any hideas?

    Sure. Determine what it should be in each clip you capture, then select a clip, and from the modify menu, select timecode... it will change it in the media file to be what's on the tape.
