Workaround? - Using Interpret Footage AME renders active content only for original movie length

I submitted a bug on this behavior, but I am hoping that someone has found a workaround or maybe I am just using Interpret Footage incorrectly.
Here is the problem:
1. Import 20 second long 23.976fps source file into AME
2. Right-click item in Queue and choose Interpret Footage
3. Choose "Assume this frame rate:" and set to 18fps - Duration will update as expected to 0:00:26;19
Results:
Output file will have correctly re-timed active content up to 0:00:20;00 and then hold that frame (which correctly corresponds to 0:00:15;00 from the source file) to the end of the file at 0:00:26;18
Expected results:
Output file should contain the full content of the source file re-timed for the new duration.
NOTE: This behavior will also be apparent in the Export settings Preview window prior to encoding.
Mac OSX 10.7.5
AME: 6.0.2.81 (64-bit)

We are actually generating the files ourselves and keeping them 23.976fps (or 25fps for PAL-country clients). We're interpreting the incoming 23.976fps file as 18fps because that is the speed at which it was shot. Super-8 sound film like most other sound film was 'supposed' to be shot / projected at 24fps, but many shooters used 18fps to get more time out of a 50-foot camera load. Our company provides 24p (or 25p) files to clients, and in addition to providing 1 to 1 representations of their film at 23.976fps, we also provide 24p files with duplicate frames inserted so they are easy to work with in NLEs, yet approximate the correct motion for material that was shot at 12, 14, 16, 18 or 20 fps. Our Apple Compressor workflow works great for the 90+% of material that is silent or is sound film shot at 24fps. We would experiment with moving the entire speed-correction workflow to AME if it solved the 18in24 sound problem, and it _almost_ does. The behavior I described is obviously a bug and not 'works as intended' - it will then be a question of whether such an outside use case gets any attention. If I can come up with another use case that would be more popular, then I might get more visibility for the bug. I suppose that some may wish to batch out 24p files from 25p files using the same technique. That is, throw a pile of 25p files into AME, interpret them as 23.976 and write them out to 24p files. I would expect that the last 4% of those files would show a freeze frame...

  • SOAP adapter Using XI 3.0 error: invalid content type for SOAP: TEXT/HTML

    Hi All,
      I have the scenario to send a message to proxy via SOAP adapter . My PI server is 7.3 and my BI application server also 7.3. I have created service interface in the ESR and created the ABAP proxy in the Application server. Im using the receiver SOAP adapter with message protocol as XI 3.0. Am running this scenario in the central adapter engine. (That is i didnt create integrated configuration). I am facing the issue in the receiver SOAP channel as 'invalid content type for SOAP: TEXT/HTML: 401 Unauthorized'. But i can able to login into the URL which is given in the channel using the username and password used in the channel.
    Can you please let me know if any addtional settings need to be done in PI side.
    Regards,
    Ramalakshmi.G

    Hi,
      Thanks for your reply. I have done my scenario with the integration configuration. Still i am facing the same issue " SOAP: TEXT/HTML; HTTP 401 Unauthorized". I have given the correct URL, username and password. Is this enough to connect to the receiver integration server from AE. Any settings need to be do in the receiver ABAP system and PI system. If so please share the corressponding note for the same.  What should be the role is assigned to the userid given in the channel.
    I have used sproxy to create the proxy in the receiver ABAP system. In PI i am using the SOAP adapter with XI 3.0 ,message protocol to call to this proxy. I have not done any settings in any of the servers. Do i need to do any settings.

  • Active content fix for ad placement?

    OK, I've read all about the JS fix for active content but
    what do you do if you don't control the HTML container for the
    Flash ad. We're new to Flash ad development, will most sites allow
    us to include a custom JS script to embed the ad or do they just
    take the SWF? If they just take the SWF, how do we address the
    active content issue?

    You complain to whoever hosts the ad .. there is nothing you
    can do yourself
    .. the host for the ad will have to fix their own html.

  • "An error occurred loading this content" problem for rented movies

    I have an AppleTV 2 connected via Ethernet to my BT Home Hub router and HDMI to my TV. My OSX (Lion), iTunes and AppleTV software are all up to date.
    Everything works fine apart from renting movies. When I rent a movie, it shows I can play it rather quickly (too quick in my mind, I thought you had to wait for a certain amount to download) so this is strange. BUT when I do go to play it it states:
    "An error occurred loading this content. Please try again later"
    There is no other error to inidicate the issue. If I do try later (sometimes 2 days later) I still get the error.
    I tried downloading Hall Pass, The Eagle and The Adjustment Bureau, all were the same.
    I can stream YouTube and Radio from the net, I can stream music, pictures and video from my iMac OK. Its only rented movies.
    I contacted Apple and they basically told me there is nothing wrong with the content so sent me some standard troubleshooting links none of which help, and said to post if here. So Apple will not help any more.
    This used to work fine, some months ago I rented a couple of movies OK. The only things that would have changed since then are possibly upgrading AppleTV software (I dont know if I did this after renting a movie OK), and upgrading to Lion and to iTunes latest software.
    Would any of these upgrades, especially to Lion, affect AppleTV rented movies???
    Thanks

    I have the same issue, to temporarily fix it go to Settings > General > Restart.  When it restarts the movie should play.  You have to do this for each movie for the most part.

  • Firefox 3.6 is using a conditional stylesheet that I created only for IE6. Is there any script available to fix this? Thanks

    I am creating a website and I create stylesheets for the look and feel of the website. Because of conflicting browser engines I have to create a separate stylesheet for versions of Internet Explorer.
    I have noticed that FF 3.6 is using the conditional stylesheet I created only for IE6. Please help, this is not happening in later versions of FF or any other browsers.
    Thanks

    There are solutions for those interface issues, but to address your question about keeping the old version, make sure your auto-update is set to ask you before updating you.

  • Rendering Div contents in a flash movie

    I have a webpage containing 2 DIV containers hidden using CSS. The site has a Flash Movie embedded. I want to render the content of these hidden DIV containers from within the Flash movie.
    I'm using CS4, is this possible? and how would i go about doing this?
    Any help would be much appriciated. Thanks for your time,
    Tony
    HTML
    <div id="sectionone">content</div>

    CSS
    hide sectionone div and sectiontwo div
    FLASH
    Display sectionone within flash movie when requested

    I would look into the ExternalInterface class.
    ExternalInterface allows you to communicate directly to javascript on the page.  To make this work you would have the actionscript trigger a javascript function that then returns the requested div value.
    Something like:
    var div1String:String = ExternalInterface.call("getDiv1");
    trace(div1);
    || In Javascript block on page ||
    function getDiv1()
         return document.getElementById("div1").innerHTML;

  • I have recently received a project from someone who has already captured the footage, can I use the footage directly from the capture scratch for my new project?

    Will this in any way effect my footage when working/exporting? I will be working off the same hard drive.

    If all the footage played in FC to begin with and all the media is included in the capture scratch folder you should be good to go but I would check a few things.
    Pull the new footage into your project and look under the compressor column. If any files are H264 or MP4 I would recommend converting these to a PR422 or another FC friendly format.  Also confirm any audio only files are aiff/48Khz(not mp3 or 44.1Khz).
    In my experience you can work with H264,MP4, mp3 & 44.1 in FC7 but you are almost guaranteed to have problems later.

  • Using Airport Extreme and External HD as Destination for iTunes Movies

    I have a 1TB external HD hooked up to my Airport Extreme base station. It has 2 partitions since I only have a 160GB MacBook Pro. I would like to use the other half of the hard drive as a destination for my iTunes movie down loads, or for my aperture photos.
    Is this possible?

    How do you do it?
    in iTunes > preferences > advanced, you have the option to change the +iTunes media folder location+. with the external mounted on your desktop, click on change and navigate to the external. iTunes will put all newly added content there.
    if you want content added to the iTunes folder on your startup disk, point iTunes there via the advanced preference tab.
    if you want to move selected content that already is in your library (on your startup disk), point iTunes to the external, select the content (e.g. all your movies), then right-click (or ctrl-click) and choose +consolidate files+ from the pop up menu. this will copy the selection to the specified location and you can delete the original files from your startup disk using the finder.
    if you then want to purchase a new movie from the iTunes store, first check where iTunes is pointed, then download the file.
    if you want files (e.g. music) to be added to the iTunes folder on your startup disk, temporarily point iTunes back there and import the files, then point iTunes back to the external.

  • Rendering times are ridiculous for simple move of text

    Hello,
    I love Final Cut Studio and get impatient with the rendering process involving simple tasks.
    Today, I used the Boris 3D titler, came with Final Cut 5, created text for a logo (duration one minute long) and then I moved the text just a smidge to center it under the logo and this is after I rendered it for 25 minutes before this and boom! Again I have to render this out 25 minutes more. Wow! Could you tell me what I need to do to hasten this process? Ie...stop using Boris 3D titler, get more RAM, etc. This is unbelievable. For Motion's projects I understand, but for this simple application and process. Enlighten me please.
    Thanks,
    Jordan

    Thanks for the contribution to the thread but your statement is not accurate nor does it apply to the conditions posited by the OP. These tools are capable of heavy duty directory and file maintenance—and they are nice to have in one's toolbox—but they are not indicated at all in this situation. Running DW and TT unnecessarily can create more problems than they solve.

  • Using an External HD with USB 1.1 for Media (Movie files) storage?

    Many thanks for your attention.
    For a Media Storage (mostly movies) HD, I ordered a Maxtor OneTouch II with Firewire and the company mistakenly sent me one with USB 1.1 instead.
    I remember reading that for Media Storage, only the Firwire connection will work (for Macs). Or that there are a lot of problems with USB.
    Before sending this HD back to company, just checking to see if this is so.
    Also (when I get the correct Drive), I've heard that in order to store a Movie File, (a movie on Final Cut Pro or iMovie, etc.), the External Hard Drive MUST be formatted as a "Mac Extended (Journaled)" Hard Drive.
    Posting here for people's thoughts, opinions (hopefully not contradictory).
    - Ross

    Send it back.
    Even USB 2.0 isn't good for media. Fast transfer rate, but not a sustained one.
    USB 1 won't work AT ALL.
    RETURN!

  • Cant used adobe premier elements Interpret footage in premier elements 11

    Cant used adobe premier elements Interpret footage in premier elements 11  help

    doogiehowser72
    This is not Adobe. We are Premiere Elements users trying to help Premiere Elements users. We try to answer as soon as we see an issue presented. But we do not have a fixed schedule.
    We need to backup on this to find out exactly what you want to gain with Interpret Footage. And, what you are doing?
    I am a little concerned when you write "...try to change the aspect ratio of the full screen...". You cannot change the aspect ratio of the full screen with Interpret Footage or anything else within the project.  The Edit Mode monitor that you see before you is determined by the project preset that you or the project is setting.
    In Premiere Elements 11 the program steps in front of you and automatically sets the project preset according to the properties of what you drag to the Timeline for the first time. Sometimes it does it OK, sometimes not. When it does not, then you set the project preset yourself manually before you import your media into the program.
    To do that, open your new project, go to File Menu/New/Project and set the project preset that matches the properties of your source media that you will bring in after you set the project preset. Before leaving the new project dialog, make sure that you have a check mark next to "Force Selected Project Setting on this Project". Then close out of there. In the workspace, go to Add Media and bring in your source media.
    DO NOT use the File Menu/Interpret Footage if you want to change the frame rate or pixel aspect ratio of anything that you have already imported. Go to the imported file in Project Assets, right click it, select Interpret Footage, and work with the Interpret Footage dialog that opens.
    I suspect that you may be using Interpret Footage for something other than what it is supposed to be used for.
    I am getting the Help message, but I cannot help you without details of what you are doing.
    If you are not understanding what I am trying to tell me, do not hesitate to let me know. I will re-write the information if necessary. But to do that I need details to work from.
    We can solve this issue.
    Thank you.

  • Active Content Extension w/ URL Variables

    Hi,
    I am using the Flash Active Content extension and I need my
    .swf to get a variable dynamically from my URL - how do I do
    this?

    I am using the Flash Active Content extension - for more
    info:
    http://www.adobe.com/go/7c29e252
    This extension is a workaround so the user does not have to
    click in the flash area to activate it for use, due to the IE
    Active Content Update. It uses an external .js file to embed the
    .swf file.
    What I am asking is if my URL variable changes from
    "www.website.com/index.php?myURL=red" to
    "www.website.com/index.php?myURL=blue", how do I get the PHP to get
    that information?
