Titles and DV Codec Alternative?

I need to make some titles for a doc in FCP.
However, after reading Phillip Hodgett's article on Ken Stone's website I am leary now since the article highlights the weaknesses of the DV codec for titles.
(Great Titles with the DV Codec---- http://www.kenstone.net/fcphomepage/perfect_titlesphil.html)
The footage was shot with a MINI DV so I am using the standard DV NTSC Sequence preset (anamorphic).
Is it possible to make the titles in another codec? IF so , when I import the subtitles into my DV NTSC Timiline, they will inevitably be subjected to the DV codec? Correct?
Any suggestions?
Thanks,
Curtis

Is there any benefit to burning to Dual Layer DVD's.
ie. Larger capacity so not as much compression so better quality product?
It doesn't work that way.
Encoding rates are established according to the length of the video, but can't exceed a maximum bit rate for recordable DVD discs.
Staying below 7.4 is advised with Dolby 2 audio. Otherwise many set tops can't maintain the throughput.
Your last sentence is essentially correct

  • Report generation toolkit: Avoid a separation of title and image at pagebreak in a work document.

    I want to generate a report with the report generation toolkit in LV7.1.
    In that report I use several report VIs to append text, titles and frontpanel images to a word document template (Office 2003). That works fine.
    Depending on the size and text of my generated report, I have sometimes a problem with pagebreaks: A image is set to a new page if there is not enough space to place it on the old one. That’s ok. The text/title above the image is still on the old page. That's right, but I don’t want this. I know in Word you can use the paragraph formatting options to avoid a separation. But with the corresponding VI from the toolkit (word format paragraph (adv)) it seems not to work. With this VI you should have access to "indents and spacing" and to "line and page breaks". I always and only can change the "indents and spacing". En- or Disabling line or page breaks with this VI does not work, nothing changes in a word document.
    Has anyone some suggestions or other solutions?
    Thanks in advance!

    Thanks for your input. You are right, that works and could be an alternative.
    In the meantime I found a solution with creating my own activex vi instead of that from the toolkit as you can see in the attached image. Maybe this could help someone with similar problems...

  • How to include Change Request Title and Description in Approval email

    Trying to figure out how to include the title and description of a Change Request in the email that goes to the managers when they approve it. Below is what we have now in the email template.
    Change request $Context/Path[Relationship='CustomSystem_WorkItem_Activity_Library!System.WorkItemContainsActivity' SeedRole='Target' TypeConstraint='WorkItem!System.WorkItem']/Property[Type='WorkItem!System.WorkItem']/Id$: $Context/Path[Relationship='CustomSystem_WorkItem_Activity_Library!System.WorkItemContainsActivity'
    SeedRole='Target' TypeConstraint='WorkItem!System.WorkItem']/Property[Type='WorkItem!System.WorkItem']/Title$, created by $Context/Path[Relationship='WorkItem!System.WorkItemCreatedByUser' TypeConstraint='System!System.User']$?$DisplayName$?, requires your
    approval.
    You can complete this request by replying to this message with [Approved] or [Rejected] in your message body (note the brackets).
    Alternatively, you can complete the request by looking up Review Activity $Context/Property[Type='WorkItem!System.WorkItem']/Id$ under the Activity Management views in the Service Manager Console and manually approving or rejecting it there.
    This basically translates to:
    Change request CR#: Test Change Request, created by TestUser1, requires your approval.
     You can complete this request by replying to this message with [Approved] or [Rejected] in your message body (note the brackets).
    Alternatively, you can complete the request by looking up Review Activity RA# under the Activity Management views in the Service Manager Console and manually approving or rejecting it there.
    When I click on Insert, there is a huge list of items and sub-items with all kinds of properties and I don't know what to select.
    The Targeted Class of the template is Activity

    $Context/Path[Relationship='CustomSystem_WorkItem_Activity_Library!System.WorkItemContainsActivity' SeedRole='Target'
    TypeConstraint='WorkItem!System.WorkItem']/Property[Type='WorkItem!System.WorkItem']/Title$
    This translates to the Title of the CR (given that the targeted activity is contained in a CR). Simply replace
    Title with Description.
    Also if the Change Manager can approve a CR just by the description you have bigger issues (or just putting everything in the description). What about a reason? Implementation
    plan, rollback plan, testing, etc.?

  • Titles and gifs not displayed when re-opened

    I had a project that was edited in 2.0. When I open it up in CS3, all of the title clips and animated gifs are shown on the program monitor as offline (red media offline screen). In the Bin, the titles and gifs are shown online. I went through each clip: Reveal in Project; Replace with Clip from Bin. I was able to correct the 50 or so "Media Offline" clips. When I save the project and then reopen it, the titles and gifs are gone again. If I import the project with the missing clips to another project, the clips are OK. But then, when I close that new project and reopen it, the clips are "offline" again.
    This project was originally shot in HD (Sony FX-1) but the finished video is just on a regular DVD. The project settings I selected were DV-NTSC Widescreen 48Hz. The mpeg video clips are always there but not the titles that were created in 2.0 nor the animated gifs.
    Then I added an animated gif in CS3. It too goes "Media Offline" when the project is reopened. Again, the titles and gifs are shown online in the Bin and can be reloaded to the Timeline but go away when the project is reopened.
    I have another project that was shot in standard definition video and edited in 2.0. I selected DV-NTSC Standard 48Hz. It works fine in CS3. But, as I mentioned, the HD video clips are not missing, it's the titles and gifs that are missing.

    One change in Firefox 4 is to by default stop Firefox displaying the warning message, but it can be turned back on by changing some preferences.
    # Type '''about:config''' into the location bar and press enter
    # Accept the warning message that appears, you will be taken to a list of preferences
    # Locate the preference '''browser.tabs.warnOnClose''', if its value is set to '''false''', double-click on it to change its value to '''true'''
    # Repeat this for these 3 preferences '''browser.warnOnQuit''', '''browser.warnOnRestart''' and '''browser.showQuitWarning'''
    If you always open the last set of tabs, an alternative approach is this:
    # Click the orange Firefox button, then select options to open the options window
    # Go to the General panel
    # Change the setting "When Firefox starts" to "Show my windows and tabs from last time"

    QUESTION.
    Hallo , my question is ;whenever I delete a photo and restore it through Time machine and Western digital external hard drive , I am able to restore the photo but not the titles and descriptions . Western Digital inform me that it isn't their external hard drive problem and suggest that it is an Apple software problem ?

    Hallo  Kieth ,
    I am not quite ready to restore the full iphoto library , as I have days of work re - imputting titles,descriptions and enhancement . I hope that your suggestion works , as I use my Macbook basically to work with digital photography. Through time , I will need to delete my library to recover more disc space and I would hate to have to spend more time re - imputting titles and descriptions all over again .
    Thanks for your interest and advice.

  • How do I get the book title and author to appear on all pages?

    I'm trying to create a new layout, and I can't quite figure out some of the auto-text boxes.
    I'd like the book title, and author to appear at the top of the pages.
    Also, I'd like the chapter title to be at the top of the page for the subsequent chapter pages, but not in the same size as the chapter title at the beginning of the chapter.
    I've tried copying the chapter text box in layouts, then applying it to the chapter pages.  However, when I reformat the copied box for text size and orientation, the reformat effects all instances of that text box.  Grr.
    (I know this all sounds like too much text and garbage on each page, but it's for an instructional piece that people will likely print a page or two at a time)

    Hello Andy,
    Have you looked at the Layout Section.
    If it is not visible pull down the handle and the master pages are there down the list for you to add and change.
    Just first duplicate any page that you may want to change and then add the name and author titles to that page and press "APPLY"
    I hope this helps…

  • Report Title and Text Area issue when exported to pdf using Viewer

    Hi there,
    We are using OracleBI Discoverer Version 10.1.2.55.26
    We have reports that displays Report title containing the following
    - Report Title
    - Runt Date and Time
    - Page No
    And text area which displays 'Last Page'
    Following properties are set at the worksheet level using page setup
    Report Title --> 'Print on every Page'
    Text Area --> 'Print on last page'
    The report when exported to PDF using Discoverer plus works fine and displays report title and text area as defeined.
    But when we try to export the same report to pdf from Discoverer viewer, it displays
    - Report title on first page only.
    - text area on all pages
    All our users accesses report using discoverer viewer so we cannot open discoverer plus to them.
    Is there a solution which will enable us to export the report in pdf using discoverer viewer and displays the same output as discoverer plus.
    Please let me know... If you have any questions then please feel free to ask.
    Thanks in advance for your help...

    but when opened on other os x machines some text is colored differently than it should be
    Well, if typographic objects are colour managed, the colour appearance is dependent on the source ICC profile that describes the colourants in the typographic objects and the destination ICC profile that describes the colours the display is able to form and the RBC colourant combinations that will form those colours.
    In general, typographic objects should have special treatment, since the expectation is not that typographic objects should be colour managed, but that typographic objects should simple be set to the maximum density of dark. On a display, that is R=0 G=0 B=0 and on a seperations device (a lithographic press) that is C=0 M=0 Y=0 K=100.
    If for some reason typographic objects are colour managed, and if the ICC profiles for the displays are off by half a mile or more in relation to the actual state of the display system, then the colours will not be the same. On the other hand, if those displays are calibrated and characterized, then the colourants will be converted to form the same colours on the displays.

  • How can I use two single-dimensional arrays-one for the titles and array

    I want to Use two single-dimensional arrays-one for the titles and one for the ID
    Could everyone help me how can i write the code for it?
    Flower
    public class Video
    public static void main(String[] args) throws Exception
    int[][] ID =
    { {145,147,148},
    {146,149, 150} };
    String[][] Titles=
    { {"Barney","True Grit","The night before Christmas"},
    {"Lalla", "Jacke Chan", "Metal"} };
    int x, y;
    int r, c;
    System.out.println("List before Sort");
    for(c =0; c< 3; ++c)
    for(r=0; r< 3; ++ r)
    System.out.println("ID:" + ID[c][r]+ "\tTitle: " + Titles[c][r]);
    System.out.println("\nAfter Sort:");
    for(c =0; c< 3; ++c)
    for(r=0; r< 3; ++ r)
    System.out.println("ID:" + ID[c][r]+ "\tTitle: " + Titles[c][r]);

    This is one of the most bizarre questions I have seen here:
    public class Video
    public static void main(String[] args) throws Exception
    int[] ID = {145,147,148, 146,149, 150};
    String[] Titles= {"Barney","True Grit","The night before Christmas", "Lalla", "Jacke Chan", "Metal"};
    System.out.println("List before Sort");
    for(int i = 0; i < Titles.length; i++)
       System.out.println("ID:" + ID[i]+ "\tTitle: " + Titles);
    System.out.println("\nAfter Sort:");
    for(int i = 0; c < Titles.length; i++)
    System.out.println("ID:" + ID[i]+ "\tTitle: " + Titles[i]);
    Generally you don't use prefix (++c) operators in you for loop. Use postfix (c++).
    Prefix means that it will increment the variable before the loop body is executed. Postfix will cause it to increment after.

  • Is there a way of showing more info than just the title and author for books in my iPad "library", say date downloaded, or date last read, eg ?

    Sometimes I forget the title of a book I am currently reading, and have to check through each book in my long list of titles in my "library" to find it again. I cant see any way of adding any additional information to each title (and author), like date downloaded, or date last read, which would help me find a particular book again quickly. 
    I may be missing something simple, so can anyone please help?

  • Multiple lines of event title and location failed to show for All Day event in SharePoint 2010 Calendar

    I have a calendar with SPD workflow to display multiple lines for Title, Attendees, Location.
    1. Created a custom columne "Breaklines" and set to "Multiple lines of text"
    2. Set Monthly View to display the "Breaklines"
    3. in SPD I created a workflow like this:
    4. On the Calendar page, I used a javascript to remove the <br/>
    <script src="http://code.jquery.com/jquery-1.10.2.min.js"
    type="text/javascript"></script><script
    type="text/javascript">
    function updateCalendarWeekday()
       $('.ms-acal-title').each(function(){
        var str = $(this).html();
        str = str.replace(/&lt;/g,
    "<");
        str = str.replace(/&gt;/g,
    ">");
        $(this).html(str);
    _spBodyOnLoadFunctionNames.push('calendarEventLinkIntercept');
    // hook into the existing SharePoint calendar load function
    function calendarEventLinkIntercept()
       var OldCalendarNotify4a
    = SP.UI.ApplicationPages.CalendarNotify.$4a;
       SP.UI.ApplicationPages.CalendarNotify.$4a
    = function ()
          OldCalendarNotify4a();
          updateCalendarWeekday();
    }</script><style>
    .ms-acal-item
                    HEIGHT:
    60px !important
    .ms-acal-summary-itemrow
                    HEIGHT:
    85px !important
    }</style>
    Everything works fine, except that when the All Day event is checked, the display screwed like this:
    I guess that when the event is All Day Event, the Start Time and End Time is not filled by the user (although they show in the form as 12:00 am -11:59PM), so the top line space is now used to display Title and Location. Since the Top Space for
    Start and End Time is a single line, it displays everything on one line. Plus the script does not act on this space.
    Does anyone know a fix for this problem?
    Thanks for any tips!

    Is there a way to modify the javescript so that it also works in the "start-end time" space?

  • Transfer iphoto photos and videos from one mac to another and retain all the titles and face names

    Can I transfer an event of multiple photos that are in my iPhoto application on my macbook air (mid 2012) to my iPhoto application on my iMac ( mid 2011), and have the photos, after the transfer to the iMac, also retain all titles and other identifying data that had been added while on the macbook air?  Using 10.9.5 OSX on both.  Using iPhoto 9.5.1 on both.  I did try this: drag and drop this event to a new folder on the desktop of the macbook air, the using Airdrop, drop copy of this event folder into the iMac.  After the iMac displayed this file as completed received into the iMac, I then opened iPhoto to import this folder into iPhoto.  The photos were imported, but without any identifying info, only the usual tag, such as IMG_4368. (Incidentally, the event of photos on the macbook air includes photos and videos taken on an iPhone 5c, and photos and videos taken on a nikon D3100.  The photos that I transferred using Airdrop did show the camera meta data when Iclicked on the "info" button in iPhoto on the iMac) (Why did I do this in the first place? - While on a trip, I knew I would need to off-load photos and videos form my low capacity iPhone to the portable macbook air in order to free up space on the iPhone, and thought it would be easy enough to transfer to the high capacity iMac later.)  Thanks for any input.  Signed: No longer quite so "new-to-apple", but always trying to learn

    Moving photos from old iMac to memory stick
         Open Photos in iPhoto
         Select All photos (which happens to be 2193 at the moment in my case)
         Drag Photos on to the Memory Stick icon
    That is not moving an iPhoto Library. It will not retain Faces, Titles and lots of other metadata. That's moving the Previews (only) from one Library to a thumb drive and then importing them to another Library.
    To move a Library:
    To move an iPhoto Library to a new machine:
    Link the two Macs together: there are several ways to do this: Wireless Network,Firewire Target Disk Mode, Ethernet, or even just copy the Library to an external HD and then on to the new machine...
    But however you do choose to link the two machines...
    Simply copy the iPhoto Library from the Pictures Folder on the old Machine to the Pictures Folder on the new Machine.
    Then launch iPhoto. That's it.
    This moves photos, events, albums, books, keywords, slideshows and everything else.
    I'll ask the same question that I posed
    above - can you do this for Mail and iTunes?
    Most certainly not. You need to ask on those forums for the correct way to move those databases.

  • Is there any way to turn off the auto formatting in Pages?  I just want to type a letter and add pictures and titles, and Pages keeps changing font sizes and doesn't let me "Do it my way".  I HATE this!

    Is there any way to turn off the auto formatting in Pages?  I'm using a blank document, so I figured I could write my letter and add pictures any way I wanted to.  But NO!  Pages keeps changing the font size!  I typed a large heading as a title, and when I try to change to a smaller font for the body of the letter, it changes the size back to the larger size!  I am getting SO FRUSTRATED!  I've spent over an hour trying to get the stupid program to let me just type my letter!  Can anyone help?

    The only one left is the "unsubmitted text" dialogue, which would not be a problem if I were not a Facebook user; after updating the "Richard is..." field (which does not require a manual submit to actually send) I get the above message. This is obviously Safari just not realising that the info has been sent and is therefore (I imagine) one for Apple themselves to answer!!
    You're welcome Rich. Glad to help.
    Not being a Facebook User, I'm not sure how to respond to the error situation. However, this would be something to report to Apple as a bug via the Safari Menu. First, open to the page in question, then select "Report Bugs to Apple".

    You need to put your title in the page header if you want it to appear on every page.  The report header only displays once per report.

Maybe you are looking for
