What is the shift fields filter for?...

Hi everyone,
I exported a movie from after effects in "animation" and imported it to FCP. it automatically added a 'shift fields' filter set to +1. this filter makes the focus soft and i am wondering why it is there and if i need it at all (i don't even know what it's supposed to do...).
btw, the quality of the picture, regardless of the filter, deteriorated quite a bit from the original QT movie that I exported from FCP to AE. i thought that digital copied don't lose quality... or was i supposed to export the movie in a special format? (I used DV pal).

You imported a clip made with the Apple Animation codec which uses upper field order (lines 1,3,5,7,9 etc are written first) into a DV Sequence which uses lower field order (lines 2,4,6,8 etc are written first).
So Final Cut Pro corrected the field order for you. What's not to like?
Never judge the quality of your output based on the FCP Canvas.
It always shows a low res proxy image to better conserve resources for real time playback.
To see the true quality, you need a calibrated external broadcast monitor, or at the very least, an excellent television set.

  • What is the best field type for currency calculations?

    Hiya,
    I am doing a load of currency calculations e.g. here's one line of it
    The 'Total' fields I am using for doing/totalling my calculations has been defined as a local variable that reference an amount field setup in the data dictionary as:
    So in my program I am using these 2 decimal field.
    Of course I now realize this is a problem, as lots of rounding occurs and my values are way out when you deal with amounts in the millions.
    Does anyone know what type of variable they think is best for doing currency calculations?
    And could you provide a simple example?
    Many thanks!

    Hello Robert,
    I guess you can go ahead with ATFLV, incase if you want to display as a currency, you can use the function module  KKEK_CONVERT_FLOAT_TO_CURR.
    DATA: c_lv_float TYPE ATFLV VALUE '4.4500000000000000E+02',
          c_lv_curr TYPE WAERS VALUE 'EUR',
          c_lv_currval TYPE NETWR_AP.
    CALL FUNCTION 'KKEK_CONVERT_FLOAT_TO_CURR'
      EXPORTING
        float_imp          = c_lv_float
        curr_imp            = c_lv_curr
    IMPORTING
      CURR_FIELD_EXP      = c_lv_currval
    EXCEPTIONS
      OVERFLOW            = 1
      OTHERS              = 2.
    IF sy-subrc <> 0.
    MESSAGE ID SY-MSGID TYPE SY-MSGTY NUMBER SY-MSGNO
            WITH SY-MSGV1 SY-MSGV2 SY-MSGV3 SY-MSGV4.
    ENDIF.
    WRITE:/ c_lv_currval.
    Output: 445,00

  • What are the Corresponding fields in CRM for sales order in ECC

    HI! Experts,
    While creating a standard sales order in CRM I want to poulate these fields in ECC Sales order, these fields are
    VBKD-BSARK - Purchase order type
    VBAK-BNAME - Name: user ordered
    VBKD-IHREZ - Web Confirmation Number
    VBAK-TELF1 - Telephone number
    Or the other way round I want to know what are the corresponding fields in CRM for these fields so that when I pass the data in crmd_order in those fields it gets populated in the above mentioned fields.
    Thanks and Regards
    Mayank

    Mayank,
    May I suggest you to create an Order in R/3 with these fields and check that back in CRM. This is not as easy as it may sound. It is possible that some of these fields are "determined" by the system - for example the "Sold-To"'s first telephone number maintained in VBAK-TELF1. So, though it becomes a part of the Order header in R/3, CRM, generally doesn't duplicate them in the transaction but allows to refer back to the master data from the transaction!
    Check the following fields in CRM and see if you find the data you require.
    VBKD-BSARK - Purchase order type There is a field in CRM that "holds" this value. ACTIVITY CATEGORY. This can be found in the ACTIVITY_H set of the transaction. Filed name CATEGORY. Problem with this is, - "Category Type" of a CRM Activity to be mapped to PO type? Didn't workout good for us since the master data for both vary widely. So, we used custom Header Extension data for this (EEWB). So, you have to work
    VBAK-BNAME - Name: user ordered Is usually CREATED_BY in the CRM Order Header (CRMD_ORDERADM_H). But this fills up the VBAK_ERNAM bit not the BNAME.See the next item, that may give a clue if this is related to the next item.
    VBAK-TELF1 - Telephone number is usually "determined". Usually the Sold-To's first telephone number maintained in the Business Partner "Communication" section for that Sold-To.
    VBKD-IHREZ - Web Confirmation Number Actually it is Customer's or vendor's internal reference as per standard use. Looks like your customer is using it for custom purposes. Well, if you maintain the relationship  "Is Correwspondence Recipient for" with the Sold-To partner in CRM, and maintain the details of this Person, then this will be transferred to R/3.
    Hint: Once you have the R/3 order in CRM, try using the Report program (SE38)  CRM_ORDER_READ in CRM. This is a good tool to "dissect and see" and order in CRM. The program needs only the Transaction Number as the input.

  • What is the "variable" field in the timer.swf widget for?

    I have captivate 7, and would like to know what the variable field is for in the timer widget and how to use it...
    Thank you!

    Hi Lilybiri,
    I am playing with $$cpInfoElapsedTimeMS$$....
    I have an action attached to a button in my project that assigns my variable $$TimeSoFar$$ with $$cpInfoElapsedTimeMS$$.  That is all this action does.  I also have a text caption that includes $$TimeSoFar$$ on the same slide.  When I enter the slide  $$TimeSoFar$$ in the text caption is 0, as that is the original value I set to the variable.  This makes sense. When I trigger the for the first time with the button, I receive a negative number in my text caption as the value for $$TimeSoFar$$.  When I trigger that action a second time, it seems to be correct ans is the correct value of $$TimeSoFar$$ . It is also correct everytime after that.
    Any idea why this is happening?
    Thank you !

  • What does the Low-Pass filter do (for dummies)

    Dear colleagues,
    I'm about to encode a lot of content for DVD using Apple Compressor Vers 3.5.2. This project calls for 2.0 Stereo as well as 5.1 surround. I am wondering if I should check or un-check the Low-Pass Filter for the Full Bandwidth Channels for the 2.0 stereo track.
    Same question for the 5.1...
    In case it's important to note, the LFE track of the 5.1 mix has low frequency effects only and nothing else.
    The explanation in the manual seems confusing to me. Would someone be kind enough to help me determine the correct setting?
    Thanks in advance!
    Xavier

    Hi David,
    Thanks for your reply. I think I'll just turn OFF this filter for both my 2.0 Stereo and 5.1 Surround tracks.
    In the name of proper communication however something still doesn't make sense. The compressor manual states the following:
    Full Bandwidth Channels
    Apply Low-Pass Filter: Select this checkbox to turn on a low-pass filter with a cutoff near the available audio bandwidth that is applied to the main input channels. If the digital signal fed to the main input channels does not contain information above the available audio bandwidth, you can turn off this filter. Compressor will automatically determine the available bandwidth.
    Question 1: What/which is the available audio bandwidth?
    Question 2: Why would anyone want to apply a Low-Pass filter to a FULL bandwidth channel? I would think that since these are FULL bandwidth channels you would want to maintain the full range of frequencies. No?

  • Disable automatic shift fields filter

    Hello! FCP is adding a Shift Fields filter automatically to my sequences. I understand the theory and purpose of Field Dominance but for my current sequences it DOES NOT need to be changed - I've tested it. This auto filter application is making extra work for me visa vie I need to delete each individually. Anyway to disable the automatic Field Dominance correction for a specific project / sequence?
    Thanks!
    - Christina

    You can't disable it.
    If you bring in a clip with a different field dominance to what your Sequence Setting is, the filter is applied.
    You didn't mention it, but what video format are you working in, what is the Sequence Setting and what is the field dominance setting of your project?

  • In package /SAPAPO/MAT, what are the /SAPAPO/CL_PR_EEW* classes for?

    General question:
    In package /SAPAPO/MAT, what are the /SAPAPO/CL_PR_EEW* classes for?
    Specific question:
    Assume your client wants to add custom fields to the APO product master and display them on the standard screens displayed by the MATn transactions (e.g. MAT1)
    Will the above EEW "enhancement classes" provide any way to customize the MATn screens (tabs, subscreens or even exits to pop custom screens)?
    If not, then is there anyway to add custom fields to the MAT1 screens without doing a core mod?

    Same question for XMDSER function group, particularly module
    EXIT_SAPMMDUSER_001
    (fires out of screen 100 initial master data maintenance)
    I think this one will probably work, but it maybe a question of "timing", i.e. what customer action fires the PAI routines which ultimately fire the exit.
    If a simple "ENTER" fires the exit, then we're fine.

  • What is the BOL Attribute struc for CN- CHANNELCONTEXT in MKTPRJ_COMMCHNL?

    Component Name: MKTPRJ_COMMCHNL
    View: MKTPRJ_COMMCHNL/OVEFChannels
    Context Node: CHANNELCONTEXT
    What is the BOL Attribute struc for CN- CHANNELCONTEXT in Component MKTPRJ_COMMCHNL?
    I want to enhance this structure to add a new checkbox attribute and bring that in UI using UI Config.
    Please help.

    This is a value node in my opinion. I checked the component CRMD_MKTPL( go to run time repository  editor and check the model) in the GENIL_MODEL_BROWSER as well but i could find any node by that name. ( Not needed though as the context node icon suggests what type of node it is).
    You can add your field directly by right clicking & then use it in your UI configuration.

  • What is the values and meaning for parameter TCLAS in functions

    what is the values and meaning for parameter TCLAS in functions like
    HR_INFOTYPE_OPERATION
    regards
    jan

    Hi Jan,
    Good Morning,
    In TCLAS,
    A, B , T will be there.
    A- Master data and time data.
    B- Applicant data.
    T- Shift Schedule.
    So, here we can say the default value will be integrated according to the above ABT.
    Means in the feature ABKRS, if you give the default values for all the three, your payroll area will appear in Master Data and Time data. And in recruitment ( Appicant data ) and work schedules. Means you are getting ingrated to all the three.
    And you can observe the feature PINCH also.
    If you dont want to get integrate with Master data, then dont give the default value under the A- Master date and Time data. And if you want to get integrate with Recruitment , then give the default value under B.
    I think u got the clear idea about TCLAS.
    Dont forget to give the points
    Thanks in Advance
    Cheers
