Time remaining counter--capture clip

Newest version of FCP, in the capture window the value for "Time Remaining to capture" is always at the full length of the clip. Isn't it supposed to count down during capture??
Thanks

Looks like it, but complaining here won't do any good.

Seeing time remaining on a clip during playback?

Is there a way to see the time remaining when playing back a clip (preferably to the out point)
I am wanting to use it for playback during a live event, but so far all I can do is give estimated time remaining, or do it the old fashioned way and back-time it in my head using notes and the current playhead position time.
I know it's risky using it for live playback rather than a dedicated video playout server, but it allows me to make last minute edits so much easier

Hi Tracy,
I would suggest these things:
Do this first: Premiere Pro CC, CC 2014, or 2014.1 freezing on startup or crashing while working (Mac OS X 10.9, and later)
If that doesn't help, Change the Video Renderer to Mercury Playback Engine software only under File > Project settings > General. Delete previews after clicking on OK.
If nothing helps, try this:
Go to the following locations:
Location 1: When in Finder, click on Go > Go to Folder > ~/Library/Application Support/Adobe
Location 2: Go > Go to Folder > ~/Library/Preferences/Adobe
Location 3: Documents > Adobe
In all the locations, rename the 'Adobe' folders to 'OldAdobe'
Launch Premiere, accept the License Agreement and see if it works.
Note: You will lose your customized workspaces, keyboard shortcuts and media cache.
Thanks,

"Time Remaining" counter on MCU Conferences page

Hello!
When scheduling a conference in TMS involving a MCU, after the conference starts the remaining time as expressed in the MCU is around 15 minutes longer than what you scheduled.
Is this some sort of padding that TMS sends to the MCU, kind of like TMS considering an endpoint in an ad hoc call as being busy for the next 5 minutes?
This is seen in the following combinations: TMS14.3 (beta)/MCU 4.4(3.54) & TMS13.0/MCU 4.3(2.32)
Thanks!

Hi Kjetil,
If that is the case... then when will the "Audio notifications" from the MCU play indicating that the Conference is about to end in X minutes. Because as far as the MCU is concerned then the conference will only end 15mins after it is scheduled to end by the TMS. Therefore the MCU will not get a chance to play the "Audio notifications" as the TMS will tear down the conference 15 minutes prior. Hence if we have an Audio only participant in the conference they will never hear the "Audio notifications" that the conference is scheduled to end soon.
Below is the definition of the Audio notifications Home > Settings > Conferences from the MCU (MCU 4501) help file
Audio notifications
Audio notifications Allows various audible in-conference features to be enabled or disabled.
The options are:
Conference timing: audible messages to indicate when the conference's scheduled end time is approaching.
Join and leave indications: audible messages indicating when other participants join and leave the conference.
Conference status: audible status messages for example indicating to a participant that he is the only participant in a conference.

Mayank

Captured Clips Not in Browser

Am having a problem capturing video. The clips exist in the Capture Scratch folder but they have never made it to the project browser window.
Running 10.4.9 in an iBook G4. Using FCE HD 3.5. Scratch Disk set to an external hd (Maxtor 120) and Easy Setup to DV-NTSC 32 kHz Firewire Basic because my video camera is a Canon ZR 45. Using DV tape---no HD. What else? Initially had a problem with camera recognition, but did the QT thing which solved that.
Capturing is a problem, yet when I played the QT clips in the Capture Scratch folder they seem OK.
Anyone have an idea about what is (isn’t) going on? Maybe these clips were never captured at all. So why are they in the folder?

G'Day Lee.
If they are on the Scratch Disc and play correctly then the capture side of things is OK.
The only thing I can think of is that you may have had more than one Sequence open at the time and the captured clips in question have been associted with the Browser Folder that was the active capture bin.
Always look for a little clapper board icon at the top left of the Browser. It's into this Folder/Bin all captures appear. If so:
Open your Seqeunce, use File>Import Files, then navigate to your Scratch Disc where the files are you wish to have in Browser, select them and hopefully it's all good.

When watching an item ending in ebay/firefox, the time remaining doesn't count down.

When watching an item ending in ebay/firefox, the time remaining doesn't count down. However I'm sure it used too.

Just an update...
I took my computer into the Apple Store and they gave me a new battery (again). I also erased my hard drive and reinstalled Lion. I am still having the same problem with my battery icon not counting down (when i have the power cord unplugged). Another thing I may have not talked about is when I unplug my power adapter from my MacBook the screen used to dim slightly, It no longer does that. Hmm. And yes I have checked the power settings.
I am seeing a big difference in my new battery though. The 6 month old battery I was using before my replacement wasn't lasting but maybe and hour before completely turning off my laptop. SInce I got my replacement battery I am back to a regular battery life. Maybe a couple issues going on here...
As a fix, I purchased Battery Guard from the app store and placed the icon on my tool bar. It actually counts down my battery life as a percentage. So its a huge help. I just don't know why the native Mac icon isn't working properly?? One thing I have noticed is the 3rd party app will only count down using a Percentage. But, like the native Mac icon it will not count down using time. Something else to add... After using my battery, and I plug my MacBook back in, the battery icon will count up. Kinda strange that it will count up but not down.
Dstppy, any luck at the Apple Store?

Media encoder time remaining stops decreasing and processor drops to zero. Time elapsed keeps going up! File won't complete!

Please help anyone who can.
Firstly I know I have very little RAM on my system, only 4GB but I've been rendering the same kinds of files for weeks with no problems until the last few days.
They biggest issues is as follows:
My timeline in Premiere Pro CC 2014 has 1080p 50mbps MXF footage from a Sony PMW 200 and some similar footage replaced with an After Effects comp for green screen keying.
The clip, approx 2min, starts with a linked comp from after effects, then cuts to the mxf footage and back to a linked comp at the end.
I am exporting via media encoder to h264 1080p. The file rendered fine for about 40min with the processor at 50% approx. The processor then shot up to 99% for 10 mins and the render progress bar
went up to almost 90% complete.
Then the progress bar stopped, the processor dropped to 0%, time remaining is steadily climbing and so is time elapsed. I've tried pausing and un pausing the render que and nothing else is running in background.
I need these files rendered tonight!! I've tried this a few times and this problem keeps occurring sometimes with the remaining time shooting up to 74 hours!!
Can anybody tell me what I'm doing wrong?!
Windows 7 Professional (64 bit)
Dell Precision workstation 690
Intel xeon X5365 3ghz (x2)
4 GB RAM

Sounds exactly like what is happening to me. This is frustrating because it was a 30 hour encoding process and the place where it is stuck is right at the very end of the sequence on the 2nd pass, although there is still about 12% of the progress bar remaining. I guess that this is where it takes all its work and puts the separate files into the single video file. I really don't want to go through this again. The final video file is showing up though and is shown having the size that I am expecting it to be.
Any workarounds to somehow get this unstuck? I am hesitant to just try and open the file. I am going to try a couple of things and if I am successful at getting this to finish without restarting then I will be sure to post it here.
Also, I don't know if this has anything to do with this problem, but I looked at my system Activity Monitor, and there is a CPU process highlighted in red, it states:
Adobe QT32 Server (not responding)
Thirty minutes later...
I was incorrect above as to the actual problem. I paused the queue encoding that was stuck, then opened up the project again in Premiere Pro only to discover that there was an offline still image which I stupidly had renamed during the day. So I renamed the file back to its original name, reconnected the picture, saved the PP project. Then I started the encoding back up and still no luck.
So I paused the encoding again, went back into the PP project and rendered just the area under question, saved it, and exported it into the queue. Then just to be safe I went to the paused item in AME, and duplicated it adding another version into the queue.
Then I unpaused the encoding and ... SUCCESS!! Not sure which of the final steps did the trick, but I am guessing that it was the rendering of the part of the sequence that it was stuck on. Hope this helps someone.

Captured clips are playing back at least TWICE as fast

Hey all- I am capturing HD footage from a JVC Pro HD camera - footage shot at 24P. Everything seems fine with the capture (except for the fact that there is no device control - only capture now), but when I play back the captured clips I hear the audio playing at normal speed but the video is playing back at leat at twice the speed - all actors are in FAST motion. I hear the crew and director speaking, getting ready to shoot as I watch the scene start and speed through and end right as the clip ends.
Any ideas? Is it a setting on the OUTPUT for the camera?
Thanks for any help.

Neither Final Cut Express nor Final Cut Pro support
720p24 material. You need a product like HDVxDV to
bring it in.
Tom-
Thanks for getting back to me last night. You seem to be a master in these parts. I am new here. I am really a director and writer but through my production company I have done a number of things in FCP over the years, always without any problems. That is until the introduction of HD and 24p at which time I sort of started saying to our amazing editor "whatver you say" and clouding over with confusion. After I got your message I went and got FCP 5 from the Apple store in an attempt to keep my friend, whose short we were trying to edit, from crying. Once installed and running we had the same issue as we had in FCE HD - the video - in terms of quality - was captured perfectly, but the clips would play back at almost twice the speed that they should have. I tried virtually every easy set-up that pertained to HD and nothing worked. On a few of them I could get an actual Log and Capture window to come up but when I went to play the material via device control there was no image, althoug I could see TC running. A friend suggested that you have to take the captured HD 24p clip and bring it into the timeline and render it for it to work. Is that true? I tried it to no avail. So, he shot on JVC GY-HD 100 at 24p. I now have FCP 5 HD and am considering buying LUMIERE software that purports to streamline this very issue. Any thoughts or suggestions you may have for me would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks so much,
M Cayce Lindner

Document Directory 'Number of Times Accessed' count

Not really an api question, but i couldnt find anything else that matched better...
Is the process that updates the Number of Times Accessed count a batch process and if so, how often does it run?
The reason i ask is that i have some docs in my directory whose count is remaining zero, even after I have accessed them, whilst others whose count is increasing over time quite happily.
Does anyone have any ideas why this might be the case?
thans

No, I think what's going on is that rather than update the counter every time a user clicks through, we use a randomized algorithm where there's a 1 in N chance that the portal will add N to the count. For example if N is 5 and you open a document 5 times you would expect to see the counter behave something like: 0 0 0 5 5
This means there's a margin of error (think opinion polls) but the margin decreases as the count increases, so you might know a given document has been accessed 12,450 times with a 5% margin of error. The benefit is that we reduce the load on the database for this particular SQL update by a factor of N. I believe there's a setting somewhere to modify N if you need more accuracte counts, in fact you can set it to 1 if you need a precise count.

I have been using time machine to back up my Mac Book Pro 3.1 to my Time Capsule. Now the Time machine hangs up on "calculating time remaining".

I have been using time machine to back up my Mac Book Pro 3.1 to my Time Capsule. Now the Time machine hangs up on "calculating time remaining".
Mac Book Pro - 3.1-15-inch 2.4/2.2GHz), Processor 2.2 GHz Intel Core 2 Duo
Operating system : OS X 10.10.1
Time Machine Version 1.3, Copyright 2007-2014 Apple Inc., Modified Tuesday, September 9, 2014 at 6:03 PM
Time Capsule: 500 GB C 2007
This Time Machine software worked satisfactory until Monday Nov, 10 2014 and I have backups until that time. For several years, the software deleted the oldest back up to save the latest one. This is acceptable to me as I have off site storage that is updated every 3 months. How do I get Time machine working again?

I have spent a couple of days trying to respond to Linc Davis. Finally I figured it out . The following is a copy of data from my console from the initiation of a time machine backup until it gets stuck trying to calculate the time remaining. There is no indication that anything starts saving. I copied about 3 minutes of data. This is probably way too much data, but I do not know what is relevant.
Thanks for the help,

Time remaining on a dvd

Hi there,
I am historically a Roxio user, and I'm used to being able to see a "space full" bar at the bottom to see how much of the DVD I have "filled up" with video. I don't see a comparable time remaining bar on iDVD. In other words, how can I easily tell how much movie room is left on a DVD?
Thanks
Susan

iDVD works on time; for a single-layer disc you get up to 60 minutes of content in Best Performance mode and up to 120 minutes for High Quality and Professional Quality encoding. Your menu content counts. If you go into Project>Project Info (in the iDVD menu bar) you will see a capacity indicator.

I have to render every time i move a clip!

i am a musician and im trying to use fcp to edit my videos to match my final product with my mp3 final project audio from garage band. i recorded in photobooth and recorded at the same time as garage band using my condenser mic for better audio. i changed my files to pro res 422, but every time i move any clip some portion needs to be re rendered, ive set the sequence to pro res 422 but i still cant figure out whats going on. i have a drum, piano, vocal, guitar videos that all match to the audio but i cant really do much when it takes 14 minutes to render a 3 minute clip.
this is what it looks like.

Your problem stems from the video recording software you used. The clips in your browser are all showing as frame rates ranging from 9fps to 11fps. But your sequence is 29.97. FCP is trying to stretch those video files out to match the sequence frame rate, but it requires rendering to do so.
Some video capture programs produce videos that are in some way incompatible with FCP because FCP reads the fps wrong. Snapz Pro is one, there are probably others. If you actually recorded the files in 29.97, then you need to run them through compressor to make them FCP compatible. Choose a pro res preset, but make sure that in the video settings that 29.97 is selected (and not "current").

COMPRESSOR 3 NOT WORKING, i just get "Unknown time remaining"

Ok, I'm running on a g5 tower with 10.4.9 OSX, it's a 2x2.66 Dual-Core Intel Xeon with 4 GB 667 Mhx DDR2 FB-DIMM.
I just installed FCS 2 last week. I'm converting 24 minute quicktime files to mp2 in compressor. First 5 episodes work great. So then i set up 7 more episodes and go home hoping that when i come into work today all will be converted. But no, the computer froze shortly after i left. Ok, no biggie, reboot try again. But now, when i try to compress something, instead of counting down telling me how much time is left on the conversion, it just says "unknown time remaining" But i let it sit overnight AGAIN, and nothing got converted.
I tried re-installing FCS 2, didn't fix it, I tried deleting the preferences, didn't fix it. I've tried changing the location, different formats, different EVERYTHING and NOTHING WORKS.
I've searched all morning on many forums for help but can't find anything. I've found that other people have this problem, but no ideas how to fix it. PLEASE PLEASE, if anyone knows how to fix this I'd be so thankful. My job is potentially on the line hear as I have to have this files delivered on DVD very soon.
Oh, and I also tried updating my compressor to 3.01, but that didn't do anything either.
Ok, I pray to God someone can help me.

Hey all. I was having the same "unknown time remaining" issue until I found this post. Special thanks to all of you for the help. This is a particularly annoying bug that I have been able to repeat endlessly and I will say that the fix works. After I downloaded the updates for my purchased final cut 2, I was able to fix the problem. However, after 10 or so uses of Compressor, it seems to reappear. I have made a copy of the qmaster file on my desktop and by emptying it, and then "reset background processing", I have been able to start a new compression batch. It seems that I am asking a lot of compressor because I will open about 100 five minute videos, then set up my own single h264 compression to 800kpbs, 640 X 480, with brightness and contrast tweaked, and my watermark added... Compressor has been quitting almost every time. When I do 2 or 3 videos at a time, it seems to work fine. (btw: I have 4 gigs of RAM) Does anyone know if Compressor is supposed to be able to output 100 videos like this? Do i need a Mac Pro with 16 gigs RAM? Does that Sorensons Squeeze work any better? Any advice is appreciated. peace, dix.

Timecodes Missing on Captured Clips?

After capturing DV clips, FCE refuses to show the timecode information. The FCE Browser window won't show the Media Start or End timecodes. Cntrl-click on the browser headings refuses to allow switching to logging vs standard view. The camcorder (Sony TRV9) is in the Apple approved list, and controls fine from the FCE capture window: even allowing specifying timecode start and end for the clip: then doing the clip capture at the correct times. captured video and audio are fine. But Edit-Item Properties on a captured clip in the Browser shows only format information: no tab for timecode data. Yet when I installed the i5m video filter to overlay timecode data on top of a video clip: it shows up correctly in the Viewer window: the timecode data is clearly in the clip file, but FCE refuses access to it! Tried trashing prefs, reinstalling FCE, using a different user account, rebooting and restarting camera, changing from NTSC firewire to firewire basic etc. OS 10.4.3 and FCE 3.0.1 are latest version of everything as of 12/19/05. Anyone else run into this?

Tom: thanks: my confusion came from the Final Cut Express Help pdf file, but evidently its in error, and must be confusing FCP with FCE. I had even called Apple User Support and they thought the timecodes should show, but indicated that sometimes the FCE documenation confuses features that are only in FCP.
thanks for the quick response!

Can FCP7 Regen Time Code when capturing from tape to allow for TC Breaks?

Can FCP7 Regen Time Code when capturing from tape to allow for TC Breaks? Or does it start capturing with time code from the tape and then just keeps rolling regardless of TC breaks on the tape, thus not matching code after the first TC break? I don't see any preferences where you can ask it to regenerate the code it is writing based on the code it's receiving from the tape (i.e. continuous jam). I'm guessing it just keeps on going with the code it started with. Anyone know different?
Thanks!

It is not clear from your post what you want FCP to do when it encounters the timecode break on the tape that it is ingesting.
You have three choices:
If you choose "Make New Clip" then FCP will stop, roll the tape forward to legitimate code, and then attempt a pre-roll and start capturing again. The new clip will have timecode that corresponds to the timecode on the tape.
If you choose "Warn After Capture", FCP will keep ingesting and the timecode will continue contiguously from the source code of your starting clip, meaning it won't match the tape after the point of the break.

Capture Clip Limit 9:25:15

I just installed Final Cut, bought my computer with specificiations chosen for the program, and while trying to capture clips it stops at exactly 9:25:15 saying "There is a lack of disk space." I have a 500 gb hard drive and 500 gb external, and 2gb of RAM that I know the computer isn't utilizing fully. As far as I can tell I can't find limiters to recording time. The consistency of clip time before "disk space" error is strange as well. Any help would be amazing!

This sounds an awful lot like your problem to me. The forum search tool is your friend...
