Unhappy with final product - bringing my questions/issues to one thread
I have been trying to get what I consider an acceptable DVD from my new Mac. I have started a couple of threads and posted in a couple of others, but I figured it was better to bring all my questions/problems to one thread. I'm going to try to give all the information that I can think of, in hopes that yall can help me.
I have iMovie11, iDVD7.1, Toast 8 Titanium, and Final Cut Express4.0.1.
At this time, the video I'm working with came from a Flip Ultra HD (the 30fps version, not the newer one that does HD at 60fps).
I have edited an 18 minute project, and created numerous versions of it, which I then burned to DVD with Toast. The final product on each disk all look pretty much the same to me, with the one problem that is making me go nuts --- the video playback does not appear "smooth". It looks like it is playing back at less than 30 frames per second.
I don't expect perfect video quality from the Flip camera - actually the video is acceptably clean and sharp (for me) - it's the frame rate thing that is killing me. In the past I have burned numerous DVDs from MiniDV through Sony Vegas that play back perfectly.
As of tonight, I have discovered that I apparently chose the wrong "easy setup" for FCE, it was on DV-NTSC, and I think I have found that it should have been on HDV-Apple Intermediate Codec 720p30 - although I might be wrong about that as well.
I did not do any kind of conversion to the Flip videos before working with them in FCE - don't know if this would be part of my problem.
In my trying various setting for the export, I have found "Key Frames Every xxx" with a default at 24 - don't know what this is or if it is related to my problem.
I don't mind re-editing the entire project if there is something I can do that will make this better, or if this is as good as it is going to get with this source video.
Also - I've noticed that anytime I add or make any changes to a transition, I have to re-render that section. Is this normal, or is it because I'm using video straight from the Flip (without MPEG Streamclip'ing) it first, or some other reason - maybe related to my wrong easy setup choice?
Please let me know if there is other information I can provide that might help you help me. I can see that I will love working with Final Cut Express and playing with all that it can do once I figure out how to set the export settings like they should be.
All the source video is converted, new project started with correct easy setup, corrected clips imported - the video looks awesome in FCE preview.
I notice that it still requires a re-render where titles are added from Live Type - is that normal or did I have something wrong with the items coming from Live Type?
I also exported a short video 2 different ways:
export - quick time movie - self contained.... This one has a very subtle jump just before and after each transition that I don't see in FCE while editing, it's only in the completed version
and....
export - using qt conversion
format - quicktime movie
options - compression h.264
quality - high
key frame rate - 24
frame reordering - yes
encoding mode - multi-pass
dimensions - compressor native 1280x720
This one does not have the jump before and after transitions, but from what I read earlier in this thread, I should be able to just use the "export - qt movie - self contained" - correct?

Syncing Audio with Merge Clips option and OMF export question/issue
Hi,
In the past when I've edited video, when it came to syncing audio I always did it manually. This time, using Premiere Pro CC, I used the merge clips option, to speed up the syncing audio process, which was a huge time saver with excellent results.
The question/issue I have..is that when I get my OMF exported for my sound editor, will this screw anything up, since on the project file, it doesn't use the original audio file, but the one that was merged. And in the project list, I don't even need to have the original audio file listed, since it's already been merged into a clip, which I used in the project. I know it's the same file used, but will it mess anything up since a merged clip audio was used instead of just dragging the original track onto the timeline?
- KenA good way to know for sure (and therefore feel comfortable that you're doing the right thing) is to do a test OMF export, then open this in Audition. This ill show you exactly what you're exporting.

Problem with final issue of production order components
Hi Gurus,
Currently we have a problem with the production order components.
The problem is that, we needed some components (components which are categorized as dangerous goods) deleted from the production orders.
So we tried to manually tick the final issue indicator and save the production order. However, the reservations reappeared after the MRP Run.
Hence, we then tried to delete the component line items, but then again the reservations reappeared.
Also, since the components are externally procured materials, new purchase requisitions are generated by MRP for these materials.
Kindly request your help on the same.
Thanks and Regards,
SanjuHi Kiran,
Please find the screenshots of MD04 for the header and component in the attachment:

Kindly help me with the same.

Hi,
I am writing to bring to your attention a serious issue I had with your product. My brother bought one iPhone 4, 16 gb mobile phone from US last year and gifted me in India. In few months it had a problem with its home key. I took the phone to service service center and they told me that your phone is having hardware problem and as the phone is under warranty cannot be replace in India. You can come back when this is out of warranty. Now few days back when i walk again to the service center they stated that this phone we cannot repair here in India because of this phone purchased from US.
This a total disgraceful service from such a big brand like apple.
I hope to hear back from you about this incident.
Sincerely,
Niranjan
<Personal Information Edited by Host>No iPhone has a international warranty. Warranty is valid only in
country of original purchase. Since iPhone was bought in the US,
you must return the iPhone to the US. That means you must personally bring
the iPhone to Apple in the US or send it to a friend/relative in the US for them
to take to Apple. After replacement, your friend can ship it back to you. Shipping
and insurance costs are your responsibility.
Apple does not accept international shipments for evaluation/repair
and will not ship replacements out of the country. -
Does Final Cut Express 4 work with mac mini and other questions...?
I have a few questions I need help in answering... I would appreciate opinions on the following:
I am about to make a purchase of a new mac. I already have a mac mini PPC, but it is too slow...
Here is what I am thinking.
Mac mini, 2GB mem, 160GB hard drive. Will this new mac mini work with Final Cut Express 4?
Or should I go with the more powerful iMac?
I like to make movies on my mac but I hate iMovie 08 so I constantly use iMovie HD 06. Should I go to Final Cut Express 4 or just stick with iMovie HD 06?There is no doubt that FCE 4 will run on an Intel mini - the GMA graphics processor is compatible. There is also no doubt that an iMac would give you somewhat better overall performance, though it's important perhaps to note that as complex as FCE is, it is actually a little less demanding on hardware than iMovie has traditionally been, so the difference between a mini with 2Gb RAM and a similarly equipped iMac will not be all that great in FCE, though it will become a little more noticeable if you continue to use iMovie 6.
The main reason for the performance difference between iMovie and FCE is that in order to provide a reasonably sophisticated video editing package that will run on very basic hardware, Apple relied heavily on caching techniques, meaning that while FCE basically spools from video and relies on CPU power, iMovie constantly moves data to and from the hard drive. The mini's hard drive is a (relatively) slow device in comparison to the iMac's - thus the iMac runs iMovie rather more seamlessly. In FCE, the difference is, as said, rather less clear unless you were to go for the top-end model.
If your budget can stretch to an iMac it makes sense to go that route simply because the extra power and overall performance (and the better graphics processor) will give you greater flexibility down the road. On the other hand, if funds are tight and you need to spend as little as reasonably possible, a mini will do fine, and is sufficient;y inexpensive that in a couple of years could be sold off and replaced without severe financial implications.
In terms of the choice between FCE or iMovie, beware that if you haven't used FCE before, the transition is not easy, and the learning curve for it is pretty steep. That said, it has far greater power and flexibility in terms of what you can achieve with it than has ever been possible with iMovie.
That said, for casual and home use, iMovie (version 6 at least) has plenty of power and tools for the majority of projects. iMovie 8 is, in many ways, deeply flawed for those who want that sort of power and workflow tools, being that it is designed for quick and easy creation of movies, not creative and considered productions. It has it's uses, but if you have experience with iMovie already, v8 is really not intended for you at all.
All that said, I've used iMovie 6 on systems will a lot less power than the current Intel minis, and have found it stable and workable, so I have no doubt it would work well on any current Mac. -
VERY UNHAPPY with multiple issues concerning my account.
I have been a Verizon customer for about 3 years now, and I was out of contract after my first two years, and when my iPhone started having issues last month, I took the plunge and purchased another phone, a Galaxy s5, last month, and went back in contract. I am unhappy with MANY things right now:
~When I took in my iPhone, no one in the store could help me as far as knowing anything about the issues my out of contract phone was having. They just wanted to sell me a new phone.
~When I decided to purchase a new phone, I told the salesgal that I didn't want the payment plan/Edge, that I wanted to pay for the phone straight out, I didn't want to pay for insurance, and I did not need a car charger. She said okay. I also purchased a screen saver while I was there, and a phone case, so I had multiple items purchased. My s5 was supposed to be eligible for a $50 rebate, so she started putting stuff in the big Verizon bag, and told me she was printing out my rebate form. I get home (I do not live in the city where I purchased the phone) and guess what? She didn't put in my $50 rebate form that she printed out, and there is a car charger in the bag that she charged me for, which I told her I did not need.
~The next day, an area managerial type of rep from Verizon calls to ask me how my experience was, and I told her. She informs me that I cannot take back the car charger at the Verizon store in my hometown, that I would have to take it back to the store where I purchased it, even though I do not live in that city, and I work two jobs (can't get there). I told her the sales gal did not put my rebate form in the bag that she printed out, and she said that SHE would send me one in the mail, and took my information.
~Guess what? SHE didn't send me the form, either.
~This coincides close to the time where I get my new Verizon bill in the mail...guess what? They added insurance to my account, even though I told them at the store that I didn't want it. I spent 20 minutes on the phone with Verizon getting credited and the insurance taken off.
~I finally get on Verizon chat this week, and the chat rep tries to help me with the rebate form, since two other people obviously can't get it to me. He gets me the information, I enter it in...and now the $50 rebate promotion is saying that it is no longer valid.
~I also find out at work this week, that my company has employee discounts through Verizon. I have worked for this company for a year and a half. This is a 17% discount on my bill, and also on phone purchases, etc. I get on Verizon chat again, and try to see if there is any way my discount could be backdated, since I was never aware of eligibility. I told them I could provide any form of proof of employment they may need. Not only could I have saved 17% for the past 18 months, but I could have just gotten my new phone for $50 cheaper. I was told by the Verizon rep that they couldn't help me, and they could give me a "$5 credit". No offer of compromise, backdating a month or two-nothing.
If you are adding all of this up, here is what I am currently out:
~$50 rebate because two people promised to give me something and didn't, and it ran out.
~$27 for a phone charger I said I didn't want, but was thrown in on the sly with my phone box/phone case/accessories last month with my phone purchase
~Insurance I said I didn't want (I did get this rectified)
~Approximately $324 in company discounts over the past year, and $50 company discount on my phone that I just purchased last month.
This is at least $451 of charges that I have paid for, but shouldn't have...and I get no apologies...just the run around from customer service reps and reasons why they can't help/won't help me. The only person who has been helpful was the phone rep who removed the insurance I didn't want from my account.~When I took in my iPhone, no one in the store could help me as far as knowing anything about the issues my out of contract phone was having. They just wanted to sell me a new phone.
Any problems with an iPhone must be addressed to Apple. Verizon can't touch your iPhone for service.
~When I decided to purchase a new phone, I told the salesgal that I didn't want the payment plan/Edge, that I wanted to pay for the phone straight out, I didn't want to pay for insurance, and I did not need a car charger. She said okay. I also purchased a screen saver while I was there, and a phone case, so I had multiple items purchased. My s5 was supposed to be eligible for a $50 rebate, so she started putting stuff in the big Verizon bag, and told me she was printing out my rebate form. I get home (I do not live in the city where I purchased the phone) and guess what? She didn't put in my $50 rebate form that she printed out, and there is a car charger in the bag that she charged me for, which I told her I did not need.
Before you left the store you signed a receipt for the sale. Why didn't you read it?
~The next day, an area managerial type of rep from Verizon calls to ask me how my experience was, and I told her. She informs me that I cannot take back the car charger at the Verizon store in my hometown, that I would have to take it back to the store where I purchased it, even though I do not live in that city, and I work two jobs (can't get there). I told her the sales gal did not put my rebate form in the bag that she printed out, and she said that SHE would send me one in the mail, and took my information.
I agree it's inconveinient, but I can't see a way around it. You certainly should call and inform the store of the error and that when you can you will return the charger and expect credit.
~Guess what? SHE didn't send me the form, either.
Rebates can be printed online.
~This coincides close to the time where I get my new Verizon bill in the mail...guess what? They added insurance to my account, even though I told them at the store that I didn't want it. I spent 20 minutes on the phone with Verizon getting credited and the insurance taken off.
Also would have been fixed if your read your receipt. Can also be removed from your account online with no need to call customer service.
~I finally get on Verizon chat this week, and the chat rep tries to help me with the rebate form, since two other people obviously can't get it to me. He gets me the information, I enter it in...and now the $50 rebate promotion is saying that it is no longer valid.
Rebates are based on purchase date.
~I also find out at work this week, that my company has employee discounts through Verizon. I have worked for this company for a year and a half. This is a 17% discount on my bill, and also on phone purchases, etc. I get on Verizon chat again, and try to see if there is any way my discount could be backdated, since I was never aware of eligibility.

They are not responsible for you not taking the discount and they never discount phones, only service.
One customer to another, you have no basis for these complaints. I do applaud you for buying your phone outright. That way you also can keep your line discount. ( or have you requested the line discount? It isn't automatic ) -
Premiere Workflow Final Product Quality Question - General
Clarification: This is just a general workflow question regardless of hardware/software/cpu/gpu. I'm also not asking about rendering times - just how the final product looks.
Do any one of the following 3 workflow methods have any bearing on the "quality" or "look/feel" of the final output of a project.
Specific effects are named in my examples just for the heck of it - the root of my question is if any given workflow with any given effects applied affects the quality of the final export/render.
#1) Raw Clip => Apply Sharpness => Apply Levels => Apply Three-Way CC => Export final product.
#2) Raw Clip => Apply Sharpness => Export Clip => Import Clip => Apply Levels => Export Clip => Import Clip => Apply Three-Way CC => Export final product.
#3) Raw Clip (sequence 1) => Apply Sharpness => Create sequence 2 and drag sequence 1 onto it => Apply Levels to sequence 2 => Create sequence 3 and drag sequence 2 onto it => apply Three-Way CC to sequence 3 => Export sequence 3 as final product.Jim's answer is probably based on the fact that no matter what you do to a video, exporting it will degrade the quality almost every time. But that is not only acceptable, but absolutely necessary. What video would you have that did not require some adjustments, even if just a straight cut.
In any case, I think the answer you really want is:
#1 looks normal. So that's fine.
#2 will degrade the image every time you export unless you export to a completely lossless codec like Lagarith - which creates HUGE files and is totally unnecessary. It is just a bad workflow.
#3 is technically the same as #1. It's fine. No problem. In fact, it can be quite handy sometimes to work that way. Nesting does not cause the problems that exporting does. -
Reconfigure issues in EPMA with hyperion products(essbase,HFM,Planning)
Hi All,
Reconfigure issues in EPMA with hyperion products(essbase,HFM,Planning,calc manager,etc.,)
I have created new schema for foundation and one more schema for all other hyperion products and try to reconfigure but i unable to configure and all components are not shown in some hyperion products( in workspace in administer im unable to see classic application, in essbase im unable to see all application...).
as per my understanding im unable to see *"Registerd with shared services"* for each products in the final stages of configure.
Please try to know that what may be the cause.
Thanks & Regards,
Kittu.I can't answer the Import profile, though could you expand on

In planning i was not able to import Security and planning units. Can you please help?Are you trying to import access permissions using LCM ?
If you are importing security into a target application then I believe that the users will need to exist in the tables before you do so.
I would run the provisionusers.cmd or go into the planning app and go to provision dimension security and click migrate identities.

CPU Issues with music production. LOGIC 8
CPU Issues with music production.
Hey guys. I bet this sort of question has been asked so many times, but i really have spent a long time searching google to get an answer. I have had no luck. I found many things on the subject, but nothing about this exact situation.
Okay, I have a Macbook 4.1 which has 2gb of ram, 2.1 GHz Intel core 2 duo processor, and a 111 gb HD with a rpm of 5400.
I have been having major CPU overloads whilst using Logic 8, And it is much worse when using Pro Tools 7.2 M-Powered.
Now, im not that knowledgeable with computer stuff, but I have a plan.
Im about to upgrade my ram to 4gb, and im getting a new hard drive that will be 320 gb and will be 7200 rpm and 16gb cache (whatever that means).
I believe that having a hard drive at 7200 rpm is pretty essential for music programs like these.
Now hopefully this will help me with the CPU, as i have found out I cant upgrade the processor as its soldered on.
Will this machine be able to handle Logic Pro 8 after the mod??
The real question i guess is: Is a "2.1 GHz Intel Core 2 Duo" processor enough to happily run logic 8?
P.S I will not be recording audio. I use the synths etc included.
Thanks in advance guys.Alexander Farrar wrote:

111Gigs is a small disk
How much free space in your system disk?
when a disk contain files from over than 80% and only about 20% is free the speed of the hard drive goes down... some disk can loose more than 50% of fast addressing speed
Leopard require at least 50GB free space for run without problem!
for better performance up to 1/3 of the disk size should be required...
I have been having major CPU overloads whilst using Logic 8, And it is much worse when using Pro Tools 7.2 M-Powered.
you use Logic with a Digidesign Drivers?
try to disconnect the Digi device and use Internal Audio of your Mac...
maybe only that can solve your issue.

buying a 320GB at 7200?
I suggest you a 500GB at 5400 RPM
the 7200 Hard drive are not so good for stay inside Macbook chassis
the working temperature in a 7200 RPM disk should be cause slower speed than a more cool/fresh 5400 RPM
The temperature rise up if disk is full over than 1/3 of its capabilities...
(this rules are related with Disk performance but can be affected also CPU power in the real time processing because the system run on the same disk)
The hard drive temperature is strictly related with disk speed performance
and logic use a lot of streaming from to disc access for the EXS24 virtual memory and other Instruments and Synths...
*this can be the primary cause of CPU spikes*
I believe that having a hard drive at 7200 rpm is pretty essential for music programs like these.
I suggest a 500GB 5400 RPM!

New to Apple products (finally) - can I use my Itunes account with multiple products e.g. Iphone and Ipad?
Oh yes! Apple will be happy for you to buy as many Apple products as you can afford.
As and when needed, each can be given its own selections of content to sync with.

Is my issue with Final Cut Pro or my Macbook pro?
I'm going to try to be as thorough as possible in explaining my situation because I can't figure this problem out and it's exhausting me. I have an early 2011 macbook pro with the 2.2 ghz processor. I upgraded to 16gb of ram almost a year ago. I've been using Final Cut Pro 7 on this computer for several years now without issue and have made no setting changes that would prompt my problems. A few months ago my battery decided to stop holding a charge and now just registers 0%. Around the same time, while editing a short video my computer began behaving like it was overheating. It would crash, restart, crash and then restart again. After I did a disk and permissions repair it began to work normally again and I haven't had any more crashing issues. Around this period of time I began noticing that when my computer turns on it doesn't register the correct time and date. Given a few moments it corrects itself, but for some strange reason it was doing that every time.
Anyway, around that time I tried to upgrade to Mavericks and experienced an issue during installation because my hard drive was apparently damaged in some way and the installation couldn't be completed. I restored my previous OS and tried to carry on as I was with the damaged hard drive for as long as I could. I was still able to do everything I needed on the computer. I could still edit videos with Final Cut. I could still browse the internet. I could still stream Netflix.
About a month ago Final Cut stopped working. I could open the program, start a new project and import media files, but when I dragged them into the timeline, they just stuttered (audio would play but video would lag and then jump several frames then lag and jump frames). At the time I assumed this was because my hard drive finally gave up, but I was still able to do other functions like browse the internet and stream basketball games with nba league pass (granted they weren't crisp hd - on a side note, netflix was also behaving oddly. when I would browse through my list, it wouldn't stop scrolling when I moved the mouse away.) so I assumed the hard drive was my issue.
I just replaced my hard drive with an ssd (crucial m500) and upgraded to mavericks (10.9.1) and now I am having the same issues. Netflix behaves fine. Basketball games stream fine. My battery is still dead (obviously that wasn't going to change). I get the wrong date and time for a minute, but I'm thinking that's battery related now. But Final Cut still lags to the point where I can't use it. Video clips also won't render. I thought this might be an issue with the Final Cut program so I uninstalled it and reinstalled it, but it still did the same thing. Assuming I hadn't correctly/completely uninstalled it, I downloaded HitFilm 2 (an editing program that had a free download promotion at the time), figuring using a different program, if i could edit video with it, then my issue is with Final Cut and not my computer. Unfortunaely, I'm having the same lagging issues with HitFilm as I was with Final Cut.
I'm at a loss as to what the problem is. Sorry if this was a rambling post, but I wanted to get as much of the background out there as possible, should it provides anyone with a clue as to what is the issue here. Does anyone have any idea what could be at fault here? I'm stumped.Hardware Information:

Issues Capturing with Final Cut Express
Hi
I am currently having issues capturing with Final Cut Express. I am using a Firewire 800 gold speed cable 9pin/4pin with my Sony LSF-S58 camera. I use mini DV tapes and usually capture on other computers with no problems. However this time I am using Final Cut Express version 4.0.1 along with a Thunderbolt to Firewire adapter so it'll connect with my MAC Book Pro (Operating system OS X 10.6.8). The issue is when I open Final Cut's capture option there is a message at the bottom that says "No Communicatin" I have tried various settings within easy set-up and nothing seems to work as well as browsing this help board along with others looking for the answer. Any help anyone can provide would be great. Thanks.When I Google LSF-S58, I get a Sony Lens Hood, not a camera. Are you recording in HD or SD?
Have you used the Thunderbolt to Firewire convertor successfully on your computer with other devices?
Have you used the Thunderbolt port successfully with other Thunderbolt devices?
I don't know if this is applicable to your computer, but there is a Thunderbolt software update for 10.6.8 here:

Issue with printing production order after changes through CO02
Hi,
Currently I have one issue with printing production order changes through CO02. If I go for print, all the operations are captured in printout. But after the print, if I add any new operations to this production order, and then go for print, its not capturing the newly added operations. Also, there is information popup coming "Copies will be printed for order. Original list already printed". This message effectively means, even after changes, when I go for print functionality, its just going for printing copies of original printed list.
Can anyone help me out to get the newly added operations reflected in the print through CO02 ?
Regards,
ShivaHi Shiva,

Importing issues with Final Cut Pro X. Green flash and twitches while play back
Hello, I'm having some importing issues with Final Cut Pro X and I can't find any solution whatsoever. Perhaps my importing settings are wrong?
Anyways, I've done a lot of recordings on eye TV and HD PVR with some videos that are about 3 hours long. I exported them into H.264 files, which turns them into mpeg-4 files with AAC audio. Then I import them into final cut pro X and I notice it takes a long time for them to render the videos and I notice that there are some green screens and twitches while I play through the video.
Here is a screenshot of the green screen that I'm talking about:

Could it be my 2 video graphics card that is causing this kind of issues? Or is there any solution to fix this?
In the past, I've used iMovie 09 and it worked out perfectly. However, the new iMovie 11 is terrible because it automatically optimzie my 3 hour long videos into making the importing process to (144 hours long to import). Is there any way to get iMovie 09 back or am I stuck on dealing with this Final Cut Pro X issues?

I have a question about using multiple ipads in our school. Each of our teachers have a iPad and AppleTV in their classroom. The issue is, with our classrooms so close in proximity to one another, is there a way to pair teacher #1 iPad to its AppleTV without effecting/projecting onto the adjacent teachers #2 classroom AppleTV?
Not as such.
Give the AppleTV units unique names and also enable Airplay password in settings with unique passwords for each teacher.
