Timecode Reader Not Matching

I've been having drift problems with the timecode reader in FCP 7. The timecode reader matches the timecode throughout the entire sequence in FCP, yet in the Quicktime ProRes file I export the burned-in timecode slowly drifts throughout the entire video. By the end of the video, the quicktime player says it's 3 seconds ahead compared to the burned-in timecode.
The original footage is 23.98, as is the sequence, and the output file. I've tried the timecode generator, which does the same thing as well. Any ideas?

I'm betting your show is around 60 minutes long? 3.5 seconds is about the difference between non-drop time code (which 23.98 is) and real time (drop frame), which I believe QT player displays.

  • SCC files not matching timeline timecode

    Has anyone run into a problem with their SCC file for Closed Captioning not lining up with the timeline timecode? We had our Captioning done by a professional captioning company and a text file they provided, which matches the SCC file timecodes, lines up perfectly with the timeline in Encore (since we provided them a window burn of the timeline). But when the disc is burned, and played back on a TV, the captions start off right and then over the course of the almost two hour program, drift to be off by 7 seconds near the end. I noticed that the DVD display time does not match my timeline timecode and is off by a few seconds at least. My sources and timelines are all drop-frame, so I tried changing all of the colons in the SCC file to semi-colons using WordPad, but that didn't make a difference. Any help would be appreciated, as I am out of ideas. I am trying a test now with adding the SCC file before I transcode (maybe it didn't like an .m2v file being linked to an SCC).
    Help?!?

    Hi Ruud,
    Yes, the timecode matches the timeline...
    The last line should appear at: 1:52:23:23 as shown in the .txt file that they supplied as a reference.
    --> Display at 01:52:23:23
    --> Erase at 01:52:27:05
    IN THE LAND OF BLOOD AND OIL.
    --> Display at 01:53:15:29
    I don't know what the last "Display" line is for, but below is the actual caption file (SCC) that I opened in WordPad:
    01:52:22:28 9420 9420 9470 9470 97a2 97a2 49ce 2054 c845 204c c1ce c420 4f46 20c2 4c4f 4fc4 20c1 cec4 204f 494c ae80 942c 942c 942f 942f
    01:52:27:03 942c 942c
    01:53:15:27 942c 942c
    They don't seem to match perfectly, but they seem to be really close and both are within frames of my timeline. I tried a test to re-encode within Encore after attaching the SCC file to the video and that made no difference. Any other ideas? Again, my DVD timer has a end time of 01:52:13 or something (depends on the player), which doesn't quite match the timeline (off by 6 or 7 seconds). My source timecode and timeline timecode are identical throughout the program, so I don't get it.

  • Hexadecimal Reading does not match the reading of RealTerm Serial Capture

    Hi 
    I am reading the output of a serial device that spits out hexadecimal  characters. When I read its serial output with the VISA read block (using a string display with HexDisplay option on) I am getting hexadecimal characters. However, when I read the output of the device with a serial data capture program, such as RealTerm, the  captured data does not match with the ones that I read in my string display in LabVIEW. I know for sure that RealTerm spits out the correct hexadecomal characters since these characters are the same as the ones I am expecting. ( I am actually looking for  some specific header characters that I don't seem to get when I read with LabVIEW).
    Is there anyone out there who has an idea what the problem could be?
    Thank you very much.
    Serdar 

    Hi;
    Attached is the screenshot of RealTerm and the LabVIEW output. The hexadecimal character that I am  specifically looking for is 0X777F ( This indicates the beginning of the data whose format is 0x7FFF, 0x71DF, 0x0010, 0xFFF0, 0x0022, 0xFFA0, 0x0050, 0x0CCB, 0x0, 0x0, 0x0145). In the realterm screen shot, we can see  the characters 0XFF7F and the next 10 16-bits data words. Do you have any idea where I am making a mistake?
    By the way, another question: I think 0XFF7F  reads as 777F.  is there any command that I can use in LabVIEW that allows me to read these as 777F right off the bat? 
    Thank you very much for the response.

  • Reader version listed in GUI does not match that of executable file (again)

    I posted regarding this issue before (http://forums.adobe.com/message/4817948), but was never able to find an answer.
    Presently I am deploying Adobe Reader 10.1.5 via the MSI installer and group policy. The issue is that a user shut down her Windows 7 computer midway though the MSI installation interrupting (i.e. screwing up) the installation process. I had to delete a few registry entries and reboot the user's PC in order to re-initiate the Reader installation (something I've done in the past).
    To verify that Reader was installed sucessfully, I browse to the Reader executable (AcroRd32.exe) in Program Files, double click the executable, select About Adobe from the Help menu, check the version number in the information box and see that the version number is 10.1.4 (i.e. the old version that I am upgrading from). However, when I browse to the Reader executable (AcroRd32.exe) in Program Files and and open the file properties, I see that the version is 10.1.5 (i.e. the new version that I am upgrading to).
    So the Reader version listed in GUI does not match that shown in the executable property box.
    This is the second time that this has happened with a Windows 7 PC. I've never experienced this sort of thing with a Windows XP PC.
    Why is the version number different in the GUI? Where is the version number read in from for the GUI? The registry? Can anybody shed some light on this situation?

    Let me clarify that the tool posted on http://labs.adobe.com/downloads/acrobatcleaner.html is not the uninstaller for Reader. Instead it is a cleaner tool used for any botched up installation as mentioned above. This utility should only be used in rare circumstances. Instead reader has its own uninstaller which can be used through ARP (Add Remove Programs) in Windows or you can also use the command line "msiexec /x AcroRead.msi" to uninstall Reader.
    Thanks,
    Vinod

  • Reader version listed in GUI does not match that of executable file

    I have an interesting situation...
    I have Adobe Reader X installed on a Windows 7 desktop. When I go to the Reader installation files right click on the executable (AcroRd32.exe) and open properties, I see that the version is 10.1.4.38 and that the update date is July 28th 2012 (Which is consistent with the Reader X 10.1.4 release date). However, when I double click the same executable file and open About Adobe from the Help menu, the information box that appears states that the reader version is 10.1.3.
    So the Reader version listed in GUI does not match that of executable file's properties. Very, very strange.
    I am fairly sure that the version stated in the property box is correct, but am not 100% certain. So where is the version number read in from for the GUI? The registry? Can anybody shed some light on this situation?

    I don't know why you are seeing that, my Adobe Reader 10.1.4 shows this

  • Length specified in network packet payload did not match number of bytes read; the connection has been closed.

     Hello every one
    I am getting this in my event log from time to time . not sure what is that ?
    Is this a hacker trying to send rubbish data to SQL through the port ?
    Any help is appreciated .

    All the requests are coming from my own ip , i feel this is funny . 
    Is my server hacked then ? 
    Or could be my ISP doing any routine tests ? 
    Also is this is hack attempt , what does this hacker think he will benefit from this ? Could this bring the SQL  server down  ?

  • BT Usage Meter Reading Does not Match Home Hub3 Tr...

    Why am I unable to match my Home Hub3 Traffic Statistics with BT's Usage Meter?
    Currently BT Usage Meter claims I have used 4.93 G bytes over the last 11 days whilst the HUB3 states that only 4.10 G bytes of traffic has been uploaded & downloaded in the same period>
    Robin J Allison CEng, FBCS, CITP, MIEEE, ITU, CITT

    I think the only way they would be close to matching is if HH3 was reset by yourself at the midnight start of the charging period. Even then this is not infallible as the figures would not match, if the hub reset for another reason during the check period. 
    Its also worth noting that HH3 (mine and others I have readabout) reset the data when 5Gb download occurs. I am not sure if the same applies to uploads.

  • Burned iMovie .mov to DVD and it caused movie to skip/have weird transitions between scenes and sound to not match with picture. What can I do to help fix this when reburning?

    Burned iMovie .mov to DVD and it caused movie to skip/have weird transitions between scenes and sound to not match with picture. What can I do to help fix this when reburning?
    Movie details
    QuickTime Movie
    Size: 17.95 GB
    Duration 17:39
    2 audio channels
    Codecs- Linear PCM, Apple ProRes 422, Timecode
    Thanks!!

    You can't use iMovie to create a video DVD - for that you need iDVD:
    Why is there no iDVD on my new Mac? How do I get it and how do I install it?
    https://discussions.apple.com/docs/DOC-3673
    To burn a DVD with iDVD from the latest version of iMovie, you have to export the movie using the Export button and select 480p as the size. Open iDVD and start a new project, then drag that exported movie file into the iDVD menu window, avoiding any drop zones you see.

  • Timecode reader for audio files?

    We've just conducted some interviews which we now need to have transcoded and translated for subtitling.
    Rather than burn a DVD with a burnt in visual timecode, we thought we'd save some time by uploading just the audio file to the web - is there any way a timecode can be embedded in the audio file so the translation matches perfectly?
    Uploading a video file with a visual timecode would result in a huge file size.

    This really depends on what the transcriber can deal with.
    Some quicktime files and the most recent quicktime player can display the timecode track down in the lower left corner of the player (where you normally see a counter).
    The other possibility is to output the timecode to a second audio channel and then the transcriber would need a timecode reader to take that info off of the audio channel. All in all much more hassle then the first option.
    As far as not wanting to create video files for upload keep in mind that in doing a window burn the image quality doesn't need to be great or large. You just need the timecode to be readable.

  • I am trying to activate root account on my MAC.  The directions I've seen do not match what is in System Preference for Accounts or Users

    I am trying to activate the root account on my new Mac Book Pro.  The instructions that I have found do not match what I have in System Preferences.  What is the process when using Users and Groups.  When I click on Join the Network Account Server- Open Directory Utility I don't see a option to  activate root user as the instructions say at http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1528
    OS X Lion
    From the Apple menu choose System Preferences....
    From the View menu choose Users & Groups.
    Click the lock and authenticate as an administrator account.
    Click Login Options....
    Click the "Edit..." or "Join..." button at the bottom right.
    Click the "Open Directory Utility..." button.
    Click the lock in the Directory Utility window.
    Enter an administrator account name and password, then click OK.
    Choose Enable Root User from the Edit menu.
    Enter the root password you wish to use in both the Password and Verify fields, then click OK.

    Do you mean you cannot select "Enable Root User" from the "Edit" menu as shown below?
    Why do you think you need to enable the root user? I've never needed it in the history of OS X.

  • Server failed to start: The domain path does not match the running server

    Hi,
    I've configured Eclipse to run my local weblogic - which actually is working fine.
    The server starts as intended and reaches state RUNNING.
    As soon as this happens, OEPE tries to validate the server and compares the identified server's configuration to the expected configuration.
    This finally results into the error message shown in the subject -- though server is still running.
    !MESSAGE Server watcher[Oracle WebLogic Server 11gR1 PatchSet 1 at localhost]:The domain path does not match the running server.
    Domain RootDirectory retrieved from the MBean of running server is: N:\Oracle\MIDDLE~1\USER_P~1\domains\MYWEBL~1\
    Domain RootDirectory of this server: N:\Oracle\Middleware\user_projects\domains\myWeblogicServer
    Obviously this seems to be an issue with the length of the directory and file names. The domain's configuration and all its start scripts do not have any 8+3 pathes, like USER_P~1 for user_projects. Nevertheless the MBean of the server returns such a "truncated" path which in turn is invalid for OEPE.
    Fix: When setting up the domain in Eclipse, try using that 8+3 representation of the domain's location. Then the comparison will succeed...
    My Question: Where do we need to ask for a fix in OEPE? The 8+3 path is still a valid one ...
    Best Regards
    Philipp

    I haven't been able to reproduce this and 8+3 representation of the domain's location shouldn't be required.
    Can you provide more information:
    - is this a network drive?
    - what is your OS: XP, Vista, Win7?
    - what is the Windows file system type, is it FAT or NTFS
    - Can you try install WLS on C:, e.g. C:\Oracle\Middleware\user_projects and see if it still happens?

  • Can not view cellular data account any more (email address does not match)

    On iPad, was originally able to go into Settings > Cellular Data > View Account and view the account info. Now cannot. If try using correct email address and password, get message that account or password are incorrect. If try entering just the email address and clicking "forgot password", get "the email address you entered does not match the email address on file for this device".
    But the 3G cellular is still working.
    Don't know if related, but this problem began after the reports of the 100,000 iPads/users hack. Leads me to wonder if I got hacked.... or more likely if the system/database that "View Account" normally accesses is offline or being reworked by AT&T.
    Any suggestions? Best AT&T contact via Internet? By phone #? By local AT&T store? Via Apple? Use iTunes to reset to factory defaults and start over (risk loss of unlimited plan?)?.
    Thanks.

    Thanks for the replies, I just had the same problem yesterday and it was a misspelled e-mail address, BUT, it did take me three calls to AT&T and more than two and a half hours. The first person didn't even know what I was talking about and gave me a number for iPad support which turned out to be Apple's, so... no help. The second person told me they were there only to solve iPhone problems until I read her your posts, then she tried and tried until the call was cut off (this is AT&T after all). But the third person finally understood, even though it took her almost an hour to get to their iPad support department (she told me it was busy all the time) not before trying with their "technical department" also. I just can't believe that Apple sells millions of these things and AT&T can't supply a direct phone number for this department, or doesn't even train their personnel.

  • GRC: Negative ack; PI: End tag 'enviNFe' does not match the start tag 'NFe'

    Bom dia SAP Boosters!

    Fiz um teste que parou de dar erro de acknowledgement e chegou a enviar o lote para a sefaz, que retornou erro de schema porque o xml continua vazio:
    Na interface determination gerada quando criei o cenário NFE_BATCH_WebAS_Outbound_Batch, a que contém a interface BATCH_nfeRecepcaoLote_OB, tirei o operation mapping BATCH_nfeRecepcaoLote2_TO_nfeRecepcaoLote2. Embora não seja mais retornada a mensagem de erro na tag, o payload continua no mesmo formato postado acima. Entao coloquei de volta.
    Bem, pesquisando vi que a função que gera o xml é a  /XNFE/006_SIGN_NFE_OUT. As notas aparecem como assinadas no monitor do grc, mas vou ter que ver entao como esta ocorrendo a geraçao do xml por esta funçao, certo?

  • Audio sample rate does not match (HDcam to dvcam)

    I'm trying to import clips and keep getting this message:
    "The audio sample rate of one or more of your captured media files does not match the sample rate on your source tape. This may cause the video and audio of these media files to be out of sync. Make sure the audio sample rate of your capture preset matches the sample rate of your tape."
    Footage was originally shot on HDCAM and transferred to DVCAM elsewhere. Using FCP 5, am importing via firewire from a Sony DSR-11 deck. Using DV NTSC 48kHz Anamorphic as capture settings (though I've tried everything that I thought might possibly work with no success). The audio does not seem to drift over the course of several 5 minute or so clips. Clip settings show audio at 48 kHz (don't know if that's from capture settings or from actual data). Seems to me all audio should be 48 kHz 16 bits, so can't figure out what's going on. I have to export an EDL for the project to be finished in HD. Read some similar threads that ended in December, seemingly without much resolution. My broader concern is why this is happening; my immediate concern is do I need to worry about this right now since the media files will need to be recaptured in HD anyway. Any thoughts?
    Thanks

    A little more info. I'm having this problem on 4 tapes (from different cameras) that were transferred to DVCAM in a squished format to appear full screen on a 4x3 monitor. Video that was letterboxed and I can bring in with the standard DV NTSC capture settings does not have this problem. Still have the problem if I try to import the clips from the squished video with standard settings. Any thoughts?

  • ARD Stuck in a loop - Client does not match administrator

    I have looked through these new forums and have not found an answer.
    For a few years I have had ARD 3.4 running on OSX.5.8 It started as v3.2 and has been upgraded a few times with no real trouble. Over the weekend I updated the MacBook to OSX.6.7 and now I get the error "The Remote Desktop Client software on this computer does not match the Administrator software version." and it then directed me to run software update (or quit). Running software update finds no new software and directs me to quit.
    This is not very helpful.
    I did find direction from 2007 in the forums to run RDAdm320.pkg (copied from the ARD CD to my computer) which is all well and good, but the installer gives me the error SU_TITLE can't be installed on this disk. ISDOWNGRADE" and so is a useless bit of advice.
    I have also tried reinstalling the client, to no avail.
    Am I to uninstall ARD and reinstall from the CD? If so, should I proceed to try and update it through Software Update or just leave well enough alone in the eventuality that this happens again? (As I recall, there were some bugs in v3.2 that made updating useful.)
    Will my 'old' version of ARD even install in OSX.6.7?
    Thanks for the help.

    Discovered that Screen Sharing was also broken (it hung after finding the (mounted) shared drive).
    I got it all to work again by re-installing OSX6 from the DVD, then re-installing ARD 3.3 from the DVD THEN running software Upgrade.
    Slow and boring and should not have been that much work - But I suppose that is just my opinion.
