Transition Issues/Problems on Exported File with FCP7

Basically the video looks fine when played back in FCP, but gets messed up when output into Quicktime or any other video player. In most programs it appears as a gamma shift during the FCP transitions and before/after any FCP generated text on the output file, again, it is fine in FCP when played back.
I'm using Snow Leopard and FCS 7. All of my footage is 24p 1080 ProRes (standard) with 16bit 48k audio. My timelline matches this. I used 5DtoRGB for transcoding. I 100% made sure to render everything (and made sure all of the render options were checked) before exporting. My settings are all default and have not been changed by me since the program was working fine. I am using some FCP notch filters on the audio, but no video filters (other than the transitions), no 3rd party filters/plugins are being used. I'm not utilizing XML files from any other FCS programs. I'm watching all of this, including playback in FCP and QT, on an Apple Cinema Display. My work files are on a G mini fw800 7200rpm drive.
Here's my typical workflow: export without self-containing file, open in Quicktime 7 and export to MP4 or Quicktime File (pros I know use this same process, it normally yields great results). When looking at the initial non self-contained file, there are very slight gamma shifts at the transition/text spots described above. After converting in Quicktime, the gamma shifts are much more apparent. I tried using compressor to export and not surprisingly had the same exact large gamma shifts on transitions/text as I did with QT7. Out of curiousity, I open the non self-contained file in Quicktime X and it actually "zooms in" during the same spots where there's a gamma shift, crazy.
Anyone want to take a swing at this? Any help would be greatly appreciated. I'll start by saying that I've tried extensively troubleshooting the problem and reading up on the web with no solution. I just can't find anyone else that's reporting anything similar to this. Even tried a full reinstall after wiping all FCP-related files from my computer; I did this when upgrading my OS and it fixed it temporary...I had the same problem come up a couple of months ago, but I upgraded my software and OS to 10.6.7 and it went away completely for that period. This is driving me insane and costing me a lot of cash and time, plus I have six projects on deck that need to be done next week, this is the worst time this could have happened. First serious bug/problem I've encountered on an Apple program in 10 years of using their products.
Thanks.

Great to see a reply, thanks.
In the Advanced section under the General Tab in the Sequence Settings, compressors settings are as follows:
Gamma Correction: Automatic (should this be turned off by chance?)
Interlaced (not selected)
Enable Chroma Filtering (not selected)
Video Processing Settings for Sequence:
Render 10-bit material in high-precision YUV
Process Max White as: White
Motion Filtering Quality: Normal
Render Controls for Sequence:
Filters and Frame Blending for Speed (both selected)
Frame Rate: 100%
Resolution: 100%
Codec: Same as Sequence Codec
Master Templates and Motion Projects (Quality=Normal, Best Quality is not selected)

How to export file with original filename number suffix, but with more digits

Is there a way to keep the original filename number suffix, but change the formatting of the number, adding leading zeros for instance?
When I import photos from my camera I like to rename them, and give them sequential numbers, e.g. "2015-01 Hamburg 1.cr2", "2015-01 Hamburg 2.cr2", "2015-01 Hamburg 10.cr2", .. "2015-01 Hamburg 134.cr2", and so on.
Normally when I export photos I like to keep the file names exacly as I imported them (except the extension) e.g. 2015-01 Hamburg 1.jpg, "2015-01 Hamburg 2.jpg", .. "2015-01 Hamburg 10.jpg", .. "2015-01 Hamburg 134.jpg".
But sometimes I would like to export them with leading zeros, typically when adding photos to a web site or blog where there are sort mechanisms that only support simple sort algorithms based on file names, meaning the sort order of my photos with their original file names would become "2015-01 Hamburg 1.jpg, "2015-01 Hamburg 10.jpg", .. "2015-01 Hamburg 134.jpg", "2015-01 Hamburg 2.jpg".
So I would like the file names to be "2015-01 Hamburg 001.jpg", "2015-01 Hamburg 002.jpg", "2015-01 Hamburg 010.jpg", "2015-01 Hamburg 134.jpg".
By keeping the original file number suffix I can easily go back to the original file whenever I need to, and the sort order would work even with simple sorting.
The export Filename Template Editor gives quite advanced support for numbering files when exporting, see attached screenshot. There's support for exporting files with custom file names, and adding sequence, total and image number with padding (up to 9999/####). But those add new numbers, they do not consider the original filename number suffix. If I use the "Image # (001)" for instance, my example above would export as "2015-01 Hamburg 001.jpg", "2015-01 Hamburg 002.jpg", "2015-01 Hamburg 003.jpg", "2015-01 Hamburg 004.jpg", if those were the four photos I wanted to export, making it hard for me to trace them back to the original photo.
I have found no way of adding such padding on the original file number.
Does anyone know if this is possible or have suggestions for a workaround?
It shouldn't be too hard for Adobe to support this I'd imagine.
export pattern rename files file_number filename_template_editor

I do not know if you can do what you explained above, but there is a workaround to this (and a way to avoid having to do it in the future):
In the Library module, make sure your images are sorted by Capture Date (this will put them in the right order, even with suffixes like 1, 13, etc.)
Select all images, and then Rename them, using a Custom text followed by a Sequence number. The Custom text in this case should be the original name (such as, 2015-01 Hamburg, as in your example). Make sure the Sequence number is formatted with enough zeroes to include all the numbers in your images.
In the future, when you rename images during Import, make sure you select the Sequence number format that will include all the needed zeroes, so you don't have to go through this again.

Problem opening PDF files with adobe

I cannot get adobe to open my pdf files. Not from internet nor from desktop.
I downloads fine,. I have installed and reinstalled several times.

New problem opening Pagemaker files with InDesign

I have quite a lot of archive files made in Pagemaker 6 and 7 and now use InDesign CS2. Until recently I could open pagemaker files from InDesign then save them as InDesign files and away I went.
But now I am just getting an error message saying the document is damaged and cannot be recovered. First off I thought it really was a damaged document but then realised all my old .pmds were saying the same.
Is there a known issue maybe with a recent upgrade of InDesign or something?
I would really love to be able to access my old pmds!!
Thanks in anticipation.

Yes Joel you're right - XP and recently installed SP3.
Just pondering the best way forward.
I'm responsible for the IT for a small charity with 8 staff members.
I have Master Suite CS3 and use a variety of the programmes but the other staff members are only using InDesign and MS Office.
We're not a high end design set up but producing all the sort of leaflets, posters bits and pieces that we need day to day.
Decided to upgrade to Office 2010 and to do that I had to install SP3.
Stuck with ID2 for everyone else (and went to great lengths to buy some extra licenses to do so) because opening an ID2 file with ID3 creates a new file which is a big nuisance and it's expensive to upgrade across the board (even with charities having access to educational licensing concessions).
Fact of life is we do tend to have quite long-lived files and I will go on wanting to open pagemaker ones for some time to come.
I probably only want to convert a pmd once a month I guess - it's just suddenly a huge nuisance not to be able to do those few ...
I can't roll back to SP2 because of Office 2010.
I could re-set one workstation wtih XP2, Office XP and InDesign CS2 purely to be able to convert pmds. Again, nuisance and ties up a licence on a little-used machine.
I could bite the bullet and move everyone over to InDesign CS3 - will I definitely be able to open pmds from there?
Ah, just thought - I have an ID3 licence but not loaded on my computer. If I load that and use it just for opening pmds then export them for backwards compatibility with ID2 like this http://livedocs.adobe.com/en_US/InDesign/5.0/help.html?content=WSa285fff53dea4f86173837510 01ea8cb3f-6d4d.html will I then be a happy bunny?
Would be glad of expert comment before I start faffing about!
Thanks

Problems running jsp files with tags on tomcat 4.0

hi,
i had some jsp1.1 stuff running on tomcat3.3.
last week i moved to tomcat 4.0 , changed the tags to fit jsp1.2 and... everything is wrong now. while trying to run jsp with tags i get an error message (same for all files):
---->

the jsp files with no tags and servlets are running ok.
I NEED YOUR HELP!!!

cyclid,
i have the same environment setup and the same troubles. after searching the forums, it seems that there are others with the same, if not similar issues, yet no solutions. if you find the solution to this one, could you please post it. i would really appreciate it since i have been on this one for several days with no success. i even tried the helloworld jsp/custom tag examples from a jsp profession book that i have and that won't work.
Anyone out there,
if you have any idea why this problem exists, any solutions, ideas would be appreciated.

Problem opening pdf files with Adobe Reader in Windows 7

I bought a new Dell (Inspiron 5110) with pre-installed Windows 7 Home Premium (Version 6.1 SP1, 64 bit) and pre-installed Adobe Reader X (10.1.1). I cannot open ANY of my old pdf files with the Adobe reader (even after I re-installed the Adobe Reader). On another computer with Windows 7 I get the same error message. When I installed several other pdf-readers (Sumatra, Foxit, ..) I can still not open the pdf's -- but all the pdf's still open under Windows XP on my old computer and they also open on all my colleagues' non-Windows 7 computers. So it appears to be a Windows 7 problem. The Adobe error message says 'Adobe Reader could not open _.pdf because it is either not a supported file type or because the file has been damaged (…..).
N.B.: I can download pdf files from the internet and can then open these 'new' pdf files with Adobe Reader X.
N.B.2.: Most of the 'old' pdf files are scientific articles downloaded from various journal websites 2002-2011, so their quality should be out of question.
N.B.3.:I've transfered the files via memory stick and portable HD.
N.B.4.: If I try to open the pdf's via 'Open with' the problem remains the same.
N.B.5.: When, on my Win7 Dell, I've uploaded/attached one of these old pdf files to an email the rtecipient could not tead it. But he could read it when I'd sent the same file from my old Win XP computer.
N.B.6.: I have repeated this last observation: When I upload an old pdf file on my Win7 Dell to my email account and then send it to myself, I cannot open/read it on my Win XP (nor on the Dell, of course). Although the file size is precisely the same.
N.B.7.: When I download a new pdf on my Dell, then upload/attach it to an email also on the Dell and send it to myself, I can download and read the attached pdf on both computers.
Would be grateful for any suggestions.

This is really strange.
Please correct me if I am wrong, but from what I can understand, any PDF which is launched on your Win 7 OS fails to open, even though the same file works perfectly fine on your Win XP machine?
Could you please run a full system anti virus scan on the said PDFs that are present on your local system. It could be a case of infected PDFs.
Also, it would be great if you could try and download some of the erroneous PDFs from the web again, and see if you experience the same behavior.
Thanks

[File] Problem while creating files with long pathnames

Hello everybody
I'm trying to create File objects corresponding to physical files. These files have very long pathnames because they are located in directories tree with large depth. So, my pathname conatins a lot of directories plus the name of the file itself.
It seems, that there is a limitation in the length of the pathname that I pass to the File constructor because files with small pathnames are OK bu the ones with very large pathnames cannot be created.
I tried the different File constructors (File(String pathname) and File(File parent, String childname)) but it still does not work. Even if the second constructor is a little bit better as it succeeds on files where the first constructor failed. But still, it's not enough.
Please Help!
Thank you
Hugo

RESOLVED!
The problem was from the OS itself (Windows XP) which accepts at most 255 characters long path names.

Need to export file with different layers selected automatically

I have a file with a background and various text layers.
I want to select each text layer individually and export them to a file, but I don't want to do this manually because it would take a lot of work.
My question is, how would i tell photoshop to export X numbers of files. Where X=number of text boxes.

I still don’t quite follow: Should the resulting files combine one of the text-layers with the lowermost layer or display only one of the layers?
Because I thought Export Layers to Files would do the second.
Anyway, the following might help, You would have to enter Your intended gif-settings in the Script manually though (see »Photoshop CS4 JavaScript Ref.pdf« or ExtendSctipt Toolkit’s Help > Object Model Viewer for the correct nomenclature for the various options).
And You should adjust the naming-procedure to Your liking, I didn’t use the actual layer-names to avoid possibly overly long names.
Paste the following text into a new file in ExtendScript Toolkit (part of Photoshop’s installation) and save it as a jsx-file into Photoshop’s Presets/Scripts-folder.
After restarting Photoshop theScript should be available under File > Scripts and can be assigned a Keyboard Shortcut directly, recorded into an Action or (in CS4) be used in a Configurator-Panel.
// saves gif-copies of the backgoud-layer with one of the other layers visible in the same location as the original file;

Exporting files with keywords

When exporting files using the export command, only some keyworks will show up in the File info panel (even if I select all). But if I open the same image from Lightroom with the "Edit photo with Photoshop CS-6" all the keywords show up in the file info panel. Any idea as to what I'm doing wrong
Francis

I've done some more testing. Opened my RAW files catalog, checked many images to see if the "will export" versus the "Keywords and Containing Keywords" would show exactly the same keywords. They did. Then. Then, I exported one .dng file as a .tif file, opened it in Photoshop, the File Info shows exactly the same keywords. So based on my workflow which consists in adding the keywords to the .dng file in Bridge, then processing the file with ACR and saving it as .tif somewhow prevents Lightroom from exporting all the keywords even if they show in the "Keywords and Containing Keywords" pane.

Export file with member alias

Hi,
I am exporting the data via DataExport command. I need the export file to contain the alias
of the members from all dimensions along with the exported data.
Currently the file contains the members names.
Is it possible what I need?
Thanks,
CM

CM,
I don't think you can export aliases using a Dataexport command. You can consider following as an alternative:
1. Export the Alias table using the following:
query database 'Sample'.'Basic' list alias_names in alias_table 'default';
2. Write a report script that outputs all the members (either all or level zero). With a report script you can use OUTALTNAMES to output alias names and OUTALTSELECT to specify which alias table you want to use.
Hope it helps...

Problem about locating file with similar filename "Info_*.dat"

Dear all,
I am a big problem in file locating and reading, please help and greatful to reply me with sample code.
How can I locate and read in files with similar file name ( Info_*.dat ) one-by-one. For example , Info_AAA.dat, Info_BBB.dat, Info_CCC.dat. I want to read in Info_AAA.dat first, and then Info_BBB.dat , and lastly Info_CCC.dat, where AAA, BBB and CCC are random number. These files are stored in the same directory.
How can I make use of * ? such as Info*.dat . Is that possible to use * with java ? Please show me a sample if possible.
help Help..Urgent !
Thanks a lot.
MRW.

That's easy with PathPattern class from JRegex:
import java.util;
import jregex.util.io.PathPattern;
Enumeration files=new PathPattern("Info_*.dat").enumerateFiles();
while(e.hasMoreElements()){
File f=(File)e.nextElement();
doWhatever(f);
...There are also any-char "?" and any-directory "**" wildcards.

Audio problems when exporting files from Premiere Pro CS5

I try to post in English.
I have audio problems in Premiere Pro CS5 when exporting a film.
I cut an interview. The sound seems not to be synchronized when exporting a file. It doesn´t matter what file format I export. On cutting points the sound is different to the sound I hear in premiere. In premiere the audio sounds very good but in exported file I hear cracks on cutting points.
When I reimport the audio file an put it in the timeline the synch point is correct but the interview differs about 2 frames to the original audio in premiere.
The material was filmed on Sony ex3. The files are XDCam HD. I have updated the production suite.
Thanks for answers
Frieder

Also, make sure that you check the box marked "Export Audio" if you want a MP4 extension.

Problem processing multiple files with dll

I'm using a function in a dll that turns a binary data file into a TSV file with actual numbers. The function takes three inputs, a pointer to a string for the input file path, a pointer to a string for the file to write and an integer for "integrity check" which as far as I can tell does nothing. I have the dll in a subvi, pass it a string corresponding to the input file path and let it convert the file. This works but will only convert the first 254 files then errors out. The only way I can get it to work again is to close labview completely and reopen it. My experiment requires the conversion of literally thousands of files so closing and reopening labview gets old real quick. I have tried creating a reference to the subvi and closing it for each file but this still does not work, I have also tried on windows xp and windows 7. When the new files are created they have a size of 0 kB and are empty until I close labview then they assume a reasonable size (few kB) and have data in them. Additionally if I try to delete one of the newly created files while labview is open I get an error saying the file is open in labview. I can delete the files when labview is closed. I have also tried opening each file and closing it after the conversion but that does not work either.
I believe this is some sort of file open limitation but I don't know how to get around it, I'm almost to the point of writing one of those mouse move/button click macros nerds use for games to convert the files because this is driving me insane.

I managed to get the c code for the dll (it was somewhere on the computer). I can only pass an integer to validity otherwise it errors, is there an unsighed char in labview?
_declspec (dllexport) int converting(char *filetoRead, char *filetoWrite, unsighed char validity)

Problem saving fdf file with a file extenstion

When I download a file with a 'FDF' extension, the file contains the name of the PDF template to be used. Preview or ADOBE is supposed to get the PDF and populate it with the data in the FDF file. This works fine with Firefox and IE under Windows, but in Firefox on the MAC the FDF file is saved without an extension. If I rename if to whatever.fdf, it works like it's supposed to.
Does anyone know why the OS is not saving the FDF file with an extension?

No, the value of the /F key in the FDF dictionary (which is what FDFSetFile sets) must be a file specification. See the PDF Reference for more information about file specifications.
