Warning - Playback format affects export format

I know we have had some threads on this a while back, but I think the wrong conclusion was stated.
In my recent experience, I have found that if I am using proxy media for playback, if I then export (for example to a quicktime movie) it will use the proxy media as the source for rendering, even if my original media is online.
Calling it a "playback preference" is thus very misleading.
So just make sure you are not using proxy media when you want to export something!

Jeaux wrote:
Switch Preferences/Playback to "original or optimized media" when you want to export your proxy project to a high-res movie. This has been covered in the threads that I've read.
I had read some early threads that said or implied the opposite, so that's why I wanted to at least give people a separate thread if there was anyone else out there who might be in the same boat.
Granted, exporting a proxy project directly to a high-resolution movie under the current FCPX setup is unintuitive and misleading.
That's mainly my point! Playback preferences shouldn't affect final export preferences. of course, we don't have export preferences yet. maybe that will change.

[SOLVED] WARNING: bad format of line 333654 of /etc/fstab

Hi everyone,
I know that there are couple of topics concerning my problem but non of them was helpful, because my computer doesn't even boot.
Here's how it started:
I was trying to mount a game for the first time and something went wrong. I got message in terminal saying: the file couldn't be found in /etc/fstab so I pasted the iso image in /etc/fstab. I quit trying to mount and changed the appearance of my desktop (changed the theme, wallpaper the size of the folders etc.) and restarted the computer. When the booting started everything was normal until the message WARNING: bad format of line 333654 of /etc/fstab showed up it started to go on and on and on - the same message with different numbers and it doesn't stop.
What should I do?
I've tried to use my apple laptop to go to my linux Arch pc but I get the message "Host is down"
I also have a Kubuntu 9.10 i386 cd.
I really don't want to re-install. I thought maybe there is a way to somehow get to /etc/fstab and delete the file I pasted.
p.s
I am new in Linux and Arch linux, I am still trying things and often do something silly that I have to find a way to fix

/etc/fstab exists to be a file system table. It does not and indeed should not contain the contents of an image file such as an ISO. Disk images contain filesystems themselves, so the most you would need to put in /etc/fstab to mount them at boot is a line describing where the image sits and at what place in the filesystem it should be mounted.
That message about not being able to find it in /etc/fstab appeared because you either didn't specify a mount point for the image or the specified mount point did not exist. But, first, you will need a live CD of some sort to fix your boot issue. You could use the Arch installation live CD to do it—I recommend it. Whatever you choose, you need to mount your root partition and edit <mountpoint>/etc/fstab. If you need to figure out what your root partition's name is in /dev/, type blkid. For example, on my system I would do something like this from the live cd to mount my root partition:
# blkid
/dev/sdb1: UUID="06f29dbd-8ce8-4d98-82ee-9e84b7d44758" TYPE="ext2"
/dev/sdb2: UUID="3747c62b-2be0-415e-bdba-58ca44a67f6d" TYPE="swap"
/dev/sdb3: LABEL="roothome" UUID="50f8625e-3eeb-4578-9229-e7030bd2a082" TYPE="ext4"
/dev/sda1: UUID="7CAC3BEAAC3B9D98" TYPE="ntfs" LABEL="System Reserved"
/dev/sda2: LABEL="halite_windows" UUID="92863FB7863F9AA5" TYPE="ntfs"
/dev/sdc1: LABEL="citrine" UUID="35987e49-a4e7-4c5f-81cb-1a4e87373ecc" TYPE="ext4"
# mkdir /mnt/roothome
# mount -t ext4 /dev/sdb3 /mnt/roothome
# vim /mnt/roothome/etc/fstab # to edit the fstab
Once chrooted, edit the /etc/fstab file with your favorite console editor, e.g. vim, nano, emacs, and remove all the stuff you pasted in. It might be helpful to copy the first 20-30 lines of the file – that should be about all your fstab should need – truncate it, and then add the mounts that you copied. (Indeed, it should be possible to use sed or another utility to truncate the file after the last line of the fstab, before the data image begins.)
In the future, if you see a message about not being able to find the file in /etc/fstab, create a mountpoint for it:
# mkdir /mnt/iso
# mount -t iso9660 image.iso /mnt/iso/

Warning: Unknown formatting object ^html

Hi,
I am trying to convert an .fo file into PDF format using a servlet. The code compiled, but when I try to run the servlet it gives me the following warning:
Unknown formatting object ^html
Exception in transformation: null
and does not create the pdf file.
The line: 'driver.buildFOTree(parser, in);' seems to be the problem.
Here is the code ('in' is the .fo file):
XMLReader parser = XMLReaderFactory.createXMLReader();
Driver driver = new Driver();
driver.setRenderer("org.apache.fop.render.pdf.PDFRenderer",
               Version.getVersion());
driver.addElementMapping               ("org.apache.fop.fo.StandardElementMapping");
driver.addElementMapping("org.apache.fop.svg.SVGElementMapping");
driver.addPropertyList               ("org.apache.fop.fo.StandardPropertyListMapping");
driver.addPropertyList               ("org.apache.fop.svg.SVGPropertyListMapping");
driver.buildFOTree(parser, in);
driver.format();
driver.setWriter(new PrintWriter(new FileWriter("new_file.pdf")));
driver.render();
out.flush();
Does anyone know what might be the problem here?
Thanks in advance!
Elena.

I see - the other part of the code that is converting an xml file into an .fo file converted it into an .html file instead.
public void doGet( HttpServletRequest request, HttpServletResponse response ) throws ServletException, IOException {
System.setProperty("javax.xml.transform.TransformerFactory",
"org.apache.xalan.processor.TransformerFactoryImpl");
System.setProperty("javax.xml.parsers.DocumentBuilderFactory",
"org.apache.xerces.jaxp.DocumentBuilderFactoryImpl");
System.setProperty("javax.xml.parsers.SaxParserFactory",
"xorg.apache.xerces.jaxp.SaxParserFactoryImpl");
System.setProperty("javax.xml.parsers.SAXParserFactory","org.apache.xerces.jaxp.SAXParserFactoryImpl");
response.setContentType("application/pdf");
PrintWriter out = response.getWriter();
String xslPath = "top.xsl";
String xmlPath = "top.xml";
String foPath = "top.fo";
          try{
               TransformerFactory tfactory = TransformerFactory.newInstance();
               String filepath = foPath;
               Transformer transformer = tfactory.newTransformer(new StreamSource(getServletContext().getResource(xslPath).toString()));
               transformer.transform(new StreamSource(getServletContext().getResource(xmlPath).toString()),new StreamResult(new FileOutputStream(filepath )));
               InputSource fopfile = new InputSource(filepath);
               buildPDFFromFO(fopfile,out);
               out.flush();
          catch(Exception ex){
               System.out.println          }
The fo file that resulted from this looks like this:
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
<html>
<body>
<table bgcolor="yellow" border="2">
<tr>
<th>Artist</th>
<th>Song</th>

<tr>
<td>Pinky</td>
<td>Bye-bye</td>
</tr>
<tr>
<td>LOLO3</td>
<td>Austin</td>
</tr>
<tr>
<td>Hello</td>
<td>Kuku</td>
</tr>
</table>
</body>
</html>
Does anybody know why it didn't convert it correctly.
I am really new to all this stuff.
Thanks in advance for your help!!!

Images displaying differently in Library view to Develop - also affecting Exports

I've run in to a strange problem since the 4.1 upgrade.
When displayed in the Library view, images are not appearing correctly. In my case, there is a huge amount more noise in the Library view compared to the Develop view. This is also affecting Exports.
I have been unable to find any answers online, and only found one other case of this reported via a You Tube video.
Any ideas?!
Many thanks
Rick

I am assuming you have a correctly calibrated monitor calibrated using a hardware calibrator. Lightroom sometimes shows the aforementioned problems with canned monitor profiles on windows machines. Now that out of the way:
I am also having this problem - the library view is closer to the printer output - very frustrating! In dev mode the image is lighter - sometimes appears to be too hot, but in library and during print it is just right. This was not a problem in 3 - what's the fix?
Have you tried seeing what happens when you soft proof for the paper profile in the Develop module?
It seem the fit views do not match up...the confusion comes in that it seems the fill views sometimes do, and sometimes do not match. when the images appear different, I've the sense in dev the images are brighter and hotter.
This can happen if your image is very noisy or has a lot of high frequency detail. The sharpening preview in fit view that is applied in Develop tends to brighten images with lots of noise or detail. It also happens when you are applying a lot of color noise reduction and have a lot of colored detail. SInce Lightroom cannot really show you the result of this correctly but for when looking at 1:1, this results in the Fit preview showing more color saturation than there really is.

While loading the update, 4.0.1, I'm asked to format my disk, followed by a warning that formatting will lose all the files. WTF?

It asks me to format my disk, then warns me to fear formatting my disk. Tell me why I need to format my disk and why I won't lose everything on it? THIS IS ABOUT DOWNLOADING THE NEW UPDATE, NOT ABOUT OPERATING THE PROGRAM!

This is from the automatic update system? That's really strange. (Maybe you last downloaded to a CD drive or something??)
If you are coming from 3.6.17 to 4.0.1, go ahead and download from the source:
http://www.mozilla.com/
Before installing, I recommend backing up your Firefox settings in case something goes wrong. See [https://support.mozilla.com/en-US/kb/Backing+up+your+information Backing up your information]. (You can copy your entire Firefox profile folder somewhere outside of the Mozilla folder.)
And definitely don't format anything.

Video Playback/Formats

I have a JVC Hard Disk Camcorder. I have tried to download video onto my iMac. But it comes up .MOV on my iMac but MPEG on my PC. Is there any way I can get these videos to play? Thanks

Did you repair permissions & restart your computer after installing MPEG Streamclip & VLC?
The following I found after doing a Google search:
+"First off, get the freeware program called MPEG Streamclip.+
+Import your .mod files (one by one or by batch)+
+Choose destination folder to save to.+
+Choose what format to save in (in your case choose quicktime).+
+Hit Go and sit back and wait.+
+It is a fairly FAST conversion.+
+The .mod files renamed as .mpeg files will enable quicktime to show the video, but it wont playback the sound. By using mpeg streamclip, you will get both audio and sound."+

Playback/format not supported

When I try to 'throw' content to my Sony TV (BRAVIA KDL-46HX850), I get messages like 'playback not available' and 'Format not supported'. These are images supplied with the phone. I am able to display othe images taken with the phone.

I don't have sdcard. Perhaps you mean internal flashram. THe images came with the phone...so they are in the memory. Image quality is 3kx2k so it should handle it as others of this size are displayed. Is it a protection issue?

CD-Rs playback "format unsupported"

In the past, I have had no trouble burning and playing CD-Rs on other media (i.e. CD player, car radio). I was using the Maxell CD-R. Recently, I tried to burn more CD-Rs..some were Maxell CD-Rs and some were SONY CD-Rs. It looks like they have burned to the CD-Rs because I can play the CDs in my computer. However, when I try to play on other media, it receive an error message "format unsupported". Can someone please help me resolve this?....thanks!

have had no trouble burning and playing CD-Rs on other media (i.e. CD player, car radio).
Media is what the info is on such as a CD, DVD or floppy.
A player is CD player, car radio, computer, etc.
Open iTunes prefs -> Advanced - Burning.
Make sure it is set to Audio CD, NOT MP3 or data.

WARNING ON FORMATING DRIVE !!!

Ok so if you are reading this post I must tell ALL OF YOU TO BACK UP THE C: DRIVE that holds your software
"OneKey Antivirus; OneKey Recovery; Win DVD 8.0; Power2Go 5.5; LVT Menu; PC-cillin 2007; Mode Switch 2.0; Driver& Application Auto-Installation; Lenovo Rescue System 2.0; Microsoft Office Trial 2007; Earthlink 1.0; Intel® Viiv (select models)"
If you atempt to format the drive into a single c: drive you will LOSE YOUR SOFTWARE. Lenovo recovery disk does not have a backup on the recovery CD nor on the Vista DVD.
BEWARE....
so... if there is a nice person out there that would like to give me a hand please e-mail me   [email protected]
I have provided some help on the power dial / Power Supply Unit in the other postings. Please help a Vet. Thanks.

Here is the thing.
Go into computer management (under administrator tools).
After loading the program, there is an option for disk managment, go into that. You will notice one of two things.
On drive 0, you will have either a C and D drive (or C drive if you combined particians during Vista reinstall).
Also on Drive 0, is about an 18 GB EISA configuration "drive" which Windows cannot touch. If you right click, it says help or what is this. This drive area has no drive letter, nothing, it just is labelled EISA configuration.
I think the Lenovo files are hidden there. When I re-installed Vista from the DVD, it formated my C partician (however, I left D in place). I dont remember Vista (during reinstall) telling me there was an 18 GB partician availble at all. So somehow this is hidden from the OS.
To access Lenovo recovery, during the computer reboot screen (before starting vista), press the red ring/black button on the Lenovo keyboard. it brings up the menu. I will be playing with the software reinstall tonight. I did a system restore to put it back like it was before I played with the red ring. It was late and I didnt like what it did. I want to keep Vista lean without all the stuff Lenovo self installs, so I am going to cancel the program installs. After the main cancel, I think you can go in and install only what you want individually.
I typed this a work, not at the computer. Will review once I get home and start playing with it again.

Playback glitch on export always at same TC

Premiere CS5.5 appears to be causing a glitch/stutter at the same spot consistently. I've trashed the renders and re-rendered, I've un-nested the sequence and re-rendered + recompressed, I've exported to MPEG2 via Pr and via dynamic link using Media Encoder and I still can't overcome this error. I've checked the source footage and the glitch is not present there (source foorage was a tape capture). All source files are transcoded to DV 29;97 NTSC 4:3 QT files.
The glitch itself is similar to a playback stutter but only at one specific point and always at that point. This glitch is also present on the SD DVD created in Encore. That's how I first noticed the error.
The timeline itself is almost 2 hours; I can export a shorter section around the glitch and that encodes without errors but I don't understand why encoding the entire timeline causes this reoccurring glitch/error.
I'm running production CS 5.5.1 (updated to current version), on a Win7 SP1 64-bit box, 16GB ram. Mercury Playback Engine is disabled since my card doesn't support it.
Any suggestion or help would be greatly appreciated. I've spent the last two night troubleshooting this issue and would love to get back to producing something instead of troubleshooting.

Can you offer insight into Harm's comment. Should I avoid QT in favor of AVI for future projects since I'm on a Windows machine?
Quicktime is not a requirement to run PrPro on windows. But if you want full suite-wide feature support and optimal performance, it is highly recommended that you install quicktime on windows. That's not my opinion, it's an official Adobe statement:
http://www.adobe.com/products/premiere/tech-specs.html
"QuickTime 7.6.6 software required for QuickTime features"
I've had no problems with mov files on windows as long as I have the latest qt installed. A lot of people hate QT, although I'm not sure if they've actually had any problems with it or if its just part of mac vs pc animosity.... kinda like snowboarding vs skiing or Yankeees vs Sox. Different people prefer one or the other for different reasons and I've been unable to PROVE that one is always superior or inferior to the other. (I'm pretty sure the Yankees are evil though)
But if you're working mainly in SD and exclusively on windows, then I would definately recommend using DV AVI as your format of choice. But I would still say you should have QT installed, eespecially if you're running the production suite on there.

I get this warning when trying to export a project from iMovie.

The project could not be prepared for publishing because an error occurred. (-50).
Does anyone know why?
Thanks

Hi
Error -50 paramErr Error in user parameter list
Can there be any external hard disks - if so How is/are it/they formatted ? Must be Mac OS Extended (hfs) if used for Video.
UNIX/DOS/FAT32/Mac OS Exchange - works for most but not for VIDEO.
What this means in Your situation is above me.
• free space on internal boot hard disk? How much ?
Video codec
• streamingDV, AIC etc. (not .avi, .mp4, .m4v, .wmv etc as they are containers not codecs)
Pictures
• in what format ? .jpg, .bmp, .tif, else ?
Audio
• from where/what format ? iTunes, .avi, .mp3, .aiff, else ?
The "com.apple.iMovie.plist" file
Many users has not observed that there are TWO libraries.
• Library - at root level
• Library - in user/account folder - THIS IS THE ONE to look into
from Luke Burns
I fixed the problem.. but it was very, very strange. I had a very long section for credits and set the line spacing to 1.0.. for some reason this caused it. I removed it, and it worked fine. I put it back, and I couldn't preview or play the video.
I don't know why that could cause that big of a problem, but it did..

You need more free space on your hard drive.
jonorparkerjon
After phone support from apple I ended up creating a new project and adding all 117 clips back in individually till I found out what clips flagged and would not allow me to export. I had 3 I deleted and replaced and everything works now 1hr after tedious work....
Where do Your material come from
• Camera
• External hard disk
• USB-memory
And all are connected so that iMovie can find it ?

Premiere Pro CC 2014 - Black flickering lines during playback and when exporting video

I am fairly new to Premiere and have recently started using creative cloud on my new MacBook Pro retina - 2.3 GHz Intel Core i7 - 16GB Memory - OSX Version 10.9.4
I shot a music video using my friends camera and all the shots were absolutely fine, I dropped them into Premiere and started editing the video together.
Some of the clips are perfectly fine during playback, although sometimes my playback stutters a little, but some of the clips have strange horizontal lines that flash through them when I watch it back. I have only used basic things such as the highlight/shadow and sharpen tools in Premiere. I thought that it maybe fine once I exported the video but when I open up the exported file on my desktop in Quicktime the little black flashes/glitches are still there in some of the shots.
Here is a screenshot you can see a line halfway between the top of my head and the top of the screen, when you watch the video there are lots of these flashing about.
Could this be something that I have set up wrong?
CPU/GPU related?
Thanks,
Jordan

Warning: Sometimes Final Cut exports a non-drop sequence as drop-frame

Just a heads up. This has been maddening for me. On occasion I will export my program for compressor and it will be drop frame when it should be non-drop.
These are sequences which have exported fine before. There is no rhyme or reason to it. Tonight I've lost about 2 hours because of this. At least I knew to check it before compressing the file and sending it out to our contractor because it has happened in the past.
By the way shutting down FCP and opening it up again seems to cure the problem.

Video playback being affected by events outside of flash

I have created a video player which functions pretty well.
The problem I am encountering is that while a video is playing, if
I move the mouse around the rest of the any instance where I hover
over a link causes the video playback to be interrupted. The same
is true if I use teh mouse wheel to rapidly scroll up and down the
page. I have yet to experience this behaviour with video players
similar to youtubes - could anyone be so kind to suggest why I am
experiencing such?
Many thanks in advance.

very good, i see

Does Motion Filtering setting affect Export Using Compressor?

Hello!
Can anyone tell me if my Motion Filtering setting in the video processing tab of my sequence settings has any effect on the ultimate quality of my export when using the "Export Using Compressor" command? I know it certainly would when exporting to Quicktime, but I'm wondering if it matters if I'm going directly to Compressor. I am sending a completely unrendered sequence.
Thanks!
Cameron

Don't feel too bad. None of us can match what the big guys do with our software encoders and burners.
They have the advantage of very expensive encoding hardware/software. They have tons of technical expertise (the so called black art of encoding). And they are working with source material that is expertly lighted, shot and graded. Then they physically stamp their disks, rather than relying on dyes.
It's not a fair fight.
But we can do a very decent job using FCP and/or Compressor and/or DVD Studio Pro and/or iDVD. (I've seen – and made myself – some great looking DVDs by simply taking a ProRes 422 file into iDVD and choosing Professional Quality.)
I always start with a Pro Res master file – either 422 or HQ, depending on the original material. When possible the frame rate and size are the same as what was shot.
A Compressor>Create DVD or Compressor >DVD Studio Pro can produce superior results because you have more control over the process. Starting with the DVD stock preset, you adjust as necessary – bit rate and sometimes Frame Controls. So, for example, using Frame Controls you could reduce the chances of introducing artifacts in the down-convert from HD to SD by turning on the Resize Filter.
Open up the Preview window. Set in and out points to encode a manageable length test file with he stock settings. Burn a test DVD directly from Compressor using a DVD-RW disk. If you like it, great. Make a disk image (select HD as output device in Job Actions) and burn. Or if you want better menus, use Toast,
We're seeing less and less interlaced footage these days, but if working with a video intended for the Web or computer display, the video should be de-interlaced – again, in Frame Controls.
Finally, buy good media like Verbatim.
Good luck.
