Totally confused about mixing videos with different field orders.

I have PPcs5 on the pc.
I edit for many different shooters. As such I get everything: Progressive, upper field , lower field . Not to mention from a zillion different cameras & different resolutions.
I output 95% so far to dvd ntsc, 5% BR.
I get dv tapes on some & HD files also.Many times I get a mixure of both on each job. Also Iphone HD files too. Going crazy trying to fiquer out how to set up my sequence when I have upper field or progressive by themselves & also when they are mixed with lower field dv foot...Do I force everything into a lower field seq if going to dvd?
Do I have to deinterlace anything?
If I drag a clip to the new "create seq" icon, it will match the clips properties but is that correct if its a progressive only project or an Upper field project going out to dvd ntsc?
Do I need to RT click on the clips in the project window & "interpet Footage" & force it into a lower field there 1st? Is there a difference between setting up a seq to be played on a progressive DVD player hdmi to a prog TV as apposed to setting up a seq for a non hdmi or non progressive tv?
Does outputting to dvd automatically force it to lower field ?
If my seq isnt set up correctly I notice a big interlace problem when the cams pan from side to side, especially when there are multiple cams with different field orders. Have been unable to find any good discussions or articles on the topic.
How do you guys do it without going crazzzzzzzy?Are there rules? What are the rules? A rule book would really help:-) I Yern for the old DVCAM/DV days:-)

DV is always lower and HD is upper or progressive.
As you are having all fields in one timeline i would make it progressive.
Premiere does a good job in deinterlacing.
Only use Interprete footage when the footage is interprete wrong.
Set up a progressive timeline and drop everything in it. If a clip does not behave correctly you can change fields in the Field Options.
Export from Premiere and import into Encore. That is what i would do......

Need to setup Premiere CS6 sequence for two file types with different field orders

I have a client who has shot video for me using two cameras, one camera was set to progressive, and the other to interlaced upper field first. I need to use both file types in the edit and have been struggling to set up the sequence to get the best look for the end product, a DVD. I have several videos to do for her that were all shot in the same way, so I need a solution!
I would appreciate help figuring out how to set up this work flow from beginning to end.
Should I convert one of the files from the beginning so they match field orders before going into a sequence? Or do I just need to do some adjusting of the files once they are in the sequence? Is it just as simple as changing the transcode settings to favor the upper field first? I'm definitely having issues once the video is transcoded in Encore and you can see a lot of jagged edges and lines especially during movement. My client isn't happy and I've tried several workarounds, but to no avail.
Here are the two file types I have:
File extension: .MOV
H.264, 1920x1080, Linear PCM, 16 bit little-endian signed integer, 48000 Hz, stereo
FPS 29.97
No Fields: Progressive Scan
File extension: .MTS (my Mac finder can't read these files, but they are read in Premiere)
Image Size: 1920 x 1080
Frame Rate: 29.97
Source Audio Format: 48000 Hz - compressed - 6 channels
Pixel Aspect Ratio: 1.0
Upper Field First
I am using Adobe Premiere CS 6.0.2
Encore 6.0.1
Media Encoder 6.0.2.81
I am running it on an iMac 27-inch, Mid 2011
with Mac OS X Lion 10.7.5
Processor 3.4 GHz Intel Core i7
Graphics AMD Radeon HD 6970M 1024 MB
I've just been setting the sequence to match the .MOV files since they look much better than the .MTS files. I've done the opposite as well, setting the sequence to match the .MTS files and it doesn't seem to help. I've also changed the field order of the files once they are in the sequence by changing the field options and have tried converting the .MTS files in the Media Encoder, but nothing I've done has worked.
Any help would be so appreciated! The client I have is a photographer, so she wasn't aware of this issue when she first shot these videos. So I have 10 videos with these issues I need to get back to her, hopefully issue free! I'm struggling as an editor because my last job I was using FCP and was working with videographers who knew what they were doing, so I've never faced such problems before. Plus I'm new to the Adobe software. Not a good combination. Please forgive me if I didn't give all the information you need. I will happily respond with whatever more information you may need to help me out!

I wonder if you could do your edit ignoring any visual issues of the interlaced footage but keeping the different sources separate ( checkerboard edit Vid 1/ Vid 2 )
Lock it down then export the interlaced part of the edit as a Digital Intermediate.
Maybe Export the other source as well to the same codec. DI
Bring them back together in a New Sequence. You wold have to deal with the black spacing.

Flickering video with correct field order? help!

On the moment I've got a long term running problem.
I've got a uncompressed 8bit quicktime movie, saved using the sheer video codec with adobe's premiere pro on a machine running windows.
I convert this file to a m2v file so I can import it in DVDSP and burn it on a DVD. When viewed on a CRT (tv) monitor, all movement 'flickers' awkward. This seemed to me a clear case of wrong interlacing. After checking this didn't seem to be the problem, field choice was correctly set to 'bottomfield', the right choice for PAL interlaced video.
My second thought was this could be a windows-mac misinterpretation of some kind. Therefore I encoded the sheer uncompressed file another time to a uncompressed file using compressor, and then compressed it to a mpeg2 file. This didn't help; the video was still flickering on TV.
I thought, in this case, compressor somehow wasn't able to make it bottomfield, so I started trying all kinds of combinations and software to get the stuff lower field.
Two things helped. The first was to de-interlace the material in compressor, but this isn't the nicest option when your base-material is interlaced.
The second was to import the uncompressed sheer file into Adobe's After Effects (interpret as: lower field interlaced) and exporting it as uncompressed progressive; compressing this file to mpeg 2 (interlaced: lower field) using compressor solved the problem. hurrah!
But then another problem arose..
When interpreting the material as lower field in AE, the titles at the end of the movie turned really ugly, like a mouse had bitten small bits out of them..
This didn't occur when the material is interpreted as progressive, but when this is rendered to a 8bit uncompressed quicktime file, and then compressed to mpeg2 using compressor the movement flickering turns up again on CRT monitors.
The (base)material is full of strokes when viewed in Quicktime and filmed using a Betacam SP camera PAL, so it can't be progressive.
Is there another explanation for the flickering except from wrong interlacing?
So yes, How do I solve this? (with compressor)
So no, How can it that the flickering still occurs even when I export on fields: lower with compressor?
I hope that someone can help me cause it's really eating my nerves now..
(ps I hope that I didn't make to much faults in my english..)

Vikram - I had carried out that process.
Srinivas - My problem is in the field of purchase order value where i am getting double the value 4000 in the place of 2000 in INR. As my client is INDIAN client he has a transaction in USD ones for which it is showing 250 in the place of 250 USD( no changes for this) in SAP R/3 side when i check my data source 2LIS_02_SCL in RSA3.

Mixing Ram with different CAS latencies in K7n2 Delta-L?

I have been using 512mb Kingston Value Ram in my computer, pc3200, with CAS latency of 3.0. I just purchased some Corsair value select 512mb ram pc3200 with CAS latency of 2.5. I know you are not supposed to mix ram with different speeds (like 400 vs. 333) but does it matter if the CAS latencies are different?
I'm running an AMD XP 1800+, K7n2 delta-L, nforce2 motherboard from MSI. Someone at a computer shop told me they tried mixing Kingston 3.0 CAS with Corsair 2.5 CAS, and said his computer wouldn't even post. So I'm wondering if this is an isolated problem, or you will always run into this problem if you mix ram with different CAS latencies.
If anyone has experience with this issue, please share with the board. Thanks!

The age old question, will the components I bought be compatible ? There are those that have bought identical matching memory that didn't work. In my case, I had an ECS K7S5A that used PC2100 Crucial memory, the sticks neither matched (at one time they did, but one stick died and they sent me the closest thing they had.). Neither of these Crucial sticks was identified by a configurator as being compatible with the K7N2 Delta L that I decided to buy. In the end, not only did both sticks work, but I put them in as single channel mode (ram slots 1 & 2), but later changed the configuration to dual channel mode (ram slots 1 & 3, even 2 & 3). It worked flawlessly in all three configurations. Sorry for the long answer, but in essence, there are no guarantees and your worries will drive you crazy. When memory is mixed, you reduce the likelihood of compatibility, even when you go beyond the recommended products that were specifically identified.
That guy at the computer shop, did he ever indicate or isolate the true reason why the memory wouldn't work ? Maybe, maybe not. I would think with a disparity in memory, the bios is the key to setting the settings for the worst stick of the bunch. Then again, the products you get might overclock to what the better sticks run at. My assumption is that mixed sticks, the bios retards settings to this in "auto" mode. When you force it manually, it may work or it may fail. One thing you oughta know, each and every stick has the manufacturers id encoded onto them at the very least, just like the firmware on other items indicates a manufacturer code and other data that allows these things to be compatible. So know you face that battle going in with any of them. If the bios programming doesn't allow it to work, from that perspective, there'll be problems.

How to go about multiple inclination with different data selection in Delta

We have to copy large amount of data ( more than 42lak of recodes) selectivly from on ODS to other ODS. in delata load ( BW 3.5 enverioment)
I thought of loading data in slices through delta loading with selection condition.
step 1> Do The initialization with selection condition as for calyear =2001 ( Init without data transfer )
step 2> Take the delta load .. it will take all delta record with same selection
step 3> Now I want to do Initialization with selection condition as for calyear =2002
step 4> take the delta now it will take delta for year 2001 and 2002 both Right ?
Here what problem I am facing.. while doing 2nd time initialization it prompt me to delete the last initialization request form scheduler menu.
if i delete the last request .. will it take the delta for previous initialization selection and new initialization selection. ?
Please advice how to go about multiple inclination with different data selection in delta loading.
Looking forward your reply.

Hi,
step 1> Do The initialization with selection condition as for calyear =2001 ( Init without data transfer )
step 2> Take the delta load .. it will take all delta record with same selection
step 3> Now I want to do Initialization with selection condition as for calyear =2002
step 4> take the delta now it will take delta for year 2001 and 2002 both Right ?
You are correct with this scenario normally. The message you mentioned normally comes up when you open a infopackage and don't change the selection first or in case you have overlapping selections with an already done init.

Design a single template for multiple reports with different column order

Hi,
I need to migrate the existing reports from SQL Server Reporting Services to Crystal Report 2008, and the column order in the report is very important to the clients since clients have existing code to ingest these reports into their database. Now I want to create a single template with lot of parameters for all reports. My question is how I might use one template to create multiple reports with different column orders in the reports?
For example, client A has the following column order in their report: firstName, LastName, DateBirth, SSN. Client B has the following column order in their report: SSN, DateBirth, LastName, FirstName. Can I use one template to create these multiple reports?
Thanks in advance.

-As I mentioned you can find Template Field object in Insert menu of crystal report Designer 2008.
As soon as you select Template Field object you will be able to see a box beside ur mouse cursor. Drag and drop this box at required place. Now when you place this object in report you will get some thing like this "<TemplateField1>" listed under Formula Fields tree. Double click "<TemplateField1>" formula to add your conditions.
-I have not tested it for large amount of Customers. However as the number of customer increases the number of conditions will get increased.
For the customer that want the same ordering of columns you can put those customers under one condition.
    for Example...
          if(?Client in ['clientA','clientA']) then
                    <TableName>.<Field>......
-What do you mean be 40 columns? Do you mean 40 fields or you want to show 40 columns in report? Please elaborate.
Regards,
Amrita

BE[Elect], MBA[SCM], 4 yrs Exp as BD. Totally confused about which SAP module

Hello,
Niranjan here from Mumbai. i am currently working as Lead member, Business development in engineering company for past 4+ years. Prior i have completed my BE from Mumbai university & MBA in supply change management.
Now i am planning to have a shift to SAP. But confused about any specific module.
On doing some ground work, found SD module of my use, but not sure about it.
Also found CRM of my use on discussion with some of those working on field.
Totally confused. ...
Plz pour in your suggestions.
thanks in advance.
Niranjan Watve

Hi Niranjan,
As for my opinion, SAP CRM Sales exactly suits to you. However, you have done Supply Chain Management you can also opt for SAP SD as well.
But give a preference to SAP CRM Sales Instead of SAP SD.

Combining items with different fields

I have users that want to built a report that shows all the products in the same table. Problem is certain fields will only be populated for certain products.
For example, a table with 15 fields, first 5 are constant across both products, 2nd 5 only for product A, 3rd 5 only for product B.
When you select product A from a drop down they want the table to only show the first 10 fields, when you select product B they want the table to only show the first and last 5. If no product is selected all fields should show.
Am I right in thinking this could be achieved with the union to combine results?
Thanks

Assuming that you have the same total number of columns for each product (in your example product A and B both have 10) then yes, you could use a UNION. The first part of the UNION would include the 5 common fields and the additional 5 that pertain to product A. The second part would have the common ones and also those that belong to B. You could include an extra column into which you'd store a string, either 'productA' or 'productB'. Then could then filter on this extra column to show the product you're interested in.
But if the number of columns isn't the same for both products that won't work. You could pull all the columns into the analysis and then create a separate table view for each product. You could exclude out whatever columns that don't make sense and then use a view selector to move between the different tables.
I guess it depends upon how you want to display the data. How many different products are there?

Mixing Video with Music

Hello.
I am new to iTunes. I own a PC and normally use Windows Media Player for songs and music videos. I create playlists in Media Player which contain both songs and videos mixed together and play them in full screen for gatherings in my home as my computer is connected to my TV and it makes for nice entertainment for everyone while mingling.
I really like the quality of the downloads available from iTunes but cannot seem to get videos and songs to play together like I can with Windows Media Player. With iTunes, it seems to be either one or the other, not both!
How do I create a playlist in iTunes to play both video and music at full screen? Is this not possible with iTunes 6.0?
Thanks,
cmc123

Thank you for the reply. Microsoft Windows Media Player has been able to do this for over ten years now, but, yes, I have found out from other people as well mixing video and music under the same playlist is impossible with Apple software. Shame.
Well, I will just have to abandon Apple and go back to Microsoft, but thank you for answering.
Best wishes,

Mixing materials with different Goods Receipt date in the same Storage Unit

Hello everybody,
I´d like to know how FIFO strategy would affect to this example:
Adding boxes from one storage unit (pallet) to another storage unit (pallet). Both storage units have different goods receipt dates, so there is a pallet which has boxes with different GR dates.
Would FIFO make difference among boxes inside the storage unit?. As far as I know, when adding stock (boxes) to a handling unit (pallet), the system keeps the oldest GR date and does not create new quant number for the incoming boxes
Thanks in advance for your help

Hi Nagesh,
Thank you for the input. I am receiving Stock from vendor and while creating Inbound delivery i created the Handling Unit and also packed it and i could also post it (PG Receipt). Now when i am creating TO i have that error message. The Storage Location where i am receiving is 9001and i have also maintained the partner Storage location,,, its like this Plant(1000)-SLoc(9001)-Partner SLoc(9002).... now the Storage Location 9002 is not HU managed,, the reason i gave this Storage location is, initially i gave 9001, but system said "Storage Location 9001 and 9001 must have different management systems". So now kindly tell me what is the purpose of the partner Storage location and which storage location should i give, as my partner Storage location across "1000-9001-????" thank you again for ur inputs.
Regards,
Samuel

And within one Line item you can add multiple service lines.

Premier Elements 7 - confusion over mixing video formats

Hi
I have been using a DV camcorder (SD quality) for some time, originally recording in 4:3 format, and more recently in 16:9 format (as we bought a wide screen telly).
I have just treated myself to a new AVCHD Panasonic video recorder recording High Definition footage in 1080 16:9 PAL format onto an SD memory card.
I wanted to take all this footage and put it on my computer to edit it together and start making some films to keep for the future - on DVD for now, and at some point on Blue Ray. To this end I have just purchased Adobe Premier Element 7.0, with Photoshop Elements 7.0 bundled together.
My confusion is that it appears I can only use one format in a "project" as I need to define the parameters for the "project" in terms of SD vs HD and 4:3 vs 16:9. I was hoping to be able to store all of my footage of various quality definitions and screen ratils into a "library" (which I see is called "Organiser" in Adobe terms) on the hard disk, and then pick and choose from the "library" what to put into each "film project" as I make them, mixing formats as I wish. I realise that in this way, the output would itself switch from 3:4 to 16:9 etc on accasions as I switch scene to use a different format, and so may not appear to be the smoothest edit.... but I thought that would be my decision to do if I wanted it. Instead it appears I cannot mix a few minutes if 4:3 SD footage of my son as a baby, with more recent 16:9 1080 HD footage of him as a boy - which is a real shame as it is what I wanted to do....
Have I misunderstood, or am I right in thinking I am limited in this way?
Why can I mix still photos of any format with video , but not mix different formats of PAL video?
Many thanks

Thanks Paul
I have been having go, as you suggest, and as you said, I cannot edit my AVCHD footage in Scene mode as it has 5.1 audio (which I cannot change on the videocam) This is very disappointing as I really wanted the simplicity of the scene editing rather than timeline.... This is compounded by the fact that timeline editing seems even more complicated than normal as each new AVCHD clip I add is placed onto a different video track (not all on track 4 as you thought)- so it is real mess to work out on my screen.... Is this a bug, the way PRE treats 5.1 tracks - or is it just oversight and poor design? Do you think it might be addressed by Adobe?
Anyhow, thanks for explaining what is going on, as without your warning, I would have assumed that the PRE 7 sceneline feature was broken - you would have thought there would be some warning / documentation from Adobe about this, as effectively, a big feature is now unavailable to me as an AVCHD user - and the product claims to be compatible with AVCHD!
Would you be able to advise on a couple more of my "newbie" file format questions?
How do the settings work between setting the initial PROJECT format, and then choosing the various OUTPUT (sharing) settings. For example, if I want to edit a project using AVCHD clips only, and output it to DVD quality to watch on a PC or burn to DVD disk, do I get the same thing if I set the project setting to PAL AVCHD High Def 1080 5.1 and then the share setting to DVD quality output, as I would if I set the project settings to DV 48hz and the share setting to DVD quality output?
My ideal would be to retain the High Definition of the footage through the editing process and then be able to output to DVD quality now, but to be able to come back to the finished edited project in the future and choose to output it to Blueray when I have upgraded my TV and bought a blueray player. i.e. I am trying to make my filming and edited projects a bit futureproof....
Finally, I am just not up enough on all the different format lingos (Mpeg1, MPeg2, H.116 etc) to know what I should be choosing from the list for:
1) outputting edited footage to burn onto a DVD to be used on a DVD player
2) outputting edited footage to save onto a PC to view in the best possible quality on a PC
Do you know?
Many thanks

Video with different language audiotracks

Hi,
do someone know a way to solve this problem:
I want to produce a video for an mobile app, which comes with three different languages.
The aim is, that there shall be one video and three different language audiotracks in the app. When the user chooses his language, the video shall play with his chosen language track. When he chooses another language, the same video shall play with the other language.
So, the videofile and the audiotracks exist independently in the app. I want NOT to put three complete versions of the video in the app, but only one videofile which shall be combined in runtime with the audio, after the user chooses his language.
Maybe there is a way...
Thanks
Markus

Hi Markus,
In Captivate 6 we have an option in the On Success Actions to "Play Audio",
So you can have just one video and three audio tracks, and 3 buttons which on click plays the corresponding audio..
If you dont have Captivate 6, then you might have to associate each audio to an object (say highlight box with transparency) and then hide or show the object when you click on the button,
Please let me know if you want more detailed steps on this..
regards,
Hari

Video width / length - videos with different resolutions

I have been downloading videos of youtube. Each video seems to have different screen width / length (resolutions).
This is obviously effecting my project.
Does anybody know of any good, free tools to download youtube videos in good quality and specifying the resolution required?
- I am new to this, so im not sure if its even possible - would it effect the video?
- I know there are various types of youtube formats (regular / high quality)
My finished project is only going to be placed back on youtube - my main aim here is to get these various video clips of the same size!
Any help is appreciated. Regards

I assume that you are getting FLV files from YouTube. Is that correct?
PrPro CS5 should be able to Import the FLV's. Just use the fixed Effect>Motion>Scale to Scale any smaller Clips up to the Frame Size of your Project. That is basically what a conversion program will be doing, and with CS5, Scaling got even better. Still, and even with CS5, you are trying to edit material that has been heavily compressed many times, so quality will never be that good.
Good luck, and hope that helps.

Making the move to 16:9, but totally confused about what settings to use!

Hi, It seems to me that since all new TV's being sold are wide-screen, it is time for me to stop making videos in 4:3. But I am completely stumped by the procedure to work in 16:9. I have shot my footage in standard definition, 16:9. The final product will be a DVD created in DVD Studio Pro. I would like the picture to fill a widescreen TV, and.... when played on a 4:3 screen, I would like it to fill the width of the screen and be letterboxed on top and bottom.
I think that I am correct to capture this footage into Final Cut Express, using Easy Setup, and choosing 'Anamorphic'. At least that gives me a 16:9 screen in FCE.
But can someone tell me what settings to use in DVDSP when I when I import that video? I tried to import Anamorphic video into DVDSP, and went to Preferences, and chose 16:9 Letterbox. I got a wide screen, but my footage came in as a squished 4:3 image. I'm totally at a loss, and would very much appreciate any help you can give.
Thanks very much, Bob

Yes, Anamorphic is the Easy Setup you'd want to use in FCE.
When I say it's distorted, that means anamorphic is recorded to tape squished (much like how it imports into DVDSP for you) and that the format demands being unsqueezed during playback. Sorry, if I scared you.
The encoding settings are also available in DVDSP's Preferences under the Encoding tab.
Also - and this is the single most important element of this workflow - in addition to setting the default Display Mode to 16:9 Letterbox, be sure to confirm that this is not overridden (for whatever reason) after you've placed your clips onto a track. So check the Inspector and make sure Display mode is correct. (It's been known to happen once in a blue moon and, if not readjusted, will mean that your DVD will not display correctly on any proper setup)
