Working with super 8 material
i recently shot some stuff using super 8 color negative film. the film was transferred to mini dv and i captured it to fcp 5.1.4.
since it was negative film, i inverted it using the channel/invert function. the issue i'm having is with the colors. it was color negative film, but the positive image looks terrible, it's like it was stripped of its colors. am i doing something wrong? is there a color correction filter that i can apply to fix this?
thanks very much for your help.

Yeah, what's wrong is the film transfer I'd suggest. Should not be negative, but should be positive. I don't think that the filter you're using was intended for the purpose of what you're trying to do.

Hey everyone,
Just wondering if anyone has experience working with Super-8 in Final Cut? I'm looking to get a camera and the only thing thats putting me off is that it seems a quite expensive process to digitise 8mm for use with FCP.
Does anyone else work in this medium? and if so, how have you found the digitisation process?
Alternatively, does anyone know if there is a way to create this effect using filters etc or any software???
Any advice, general chat would be really appreciated
Cheers
MattyAlso :
Shooting on film as opposed to video and using effects is superior in many aspects. A few are, film exhibits no color compression, it is true progressive, on higher end super 8 cameras you can up your framerate to 72fps (which only VERY expensive digital cameras can do), produces a random grain pattern image that sees light like your eye sees light. There is NO substitute for film. Period.
It's debated on whether or not super 8 is worth scanning at 1080P. I say it is, as do many experts, because though the silver halide grain pattern is slightly lower than HD quality, you must consider the pattern from frame to frame. At 24fps, the random grain pattern produces stunningly crisp images that are on par with 16mm these days. Film technology has come a LONG way since the 70s. You be the judge. Go look at film scanned in HD. I can see the difference.
There are a TON of ways to telecine (scan) footage. You can use an old projector and point your video camera at it (lame cause it flickers). You can use a MovieStuff telecine (which works great for reversal film), or you can send it to a good place to transfer. Some places use a true HD scanner... and these can cost a LOT. 500 bucks/hour of telecine. OR, some places oversample in SD and give you a resulting HD scan. This is 1/2 the price and is about 95% of true HD quality. Not a bad ratio and saves a lot of cash.
Do some homework, join some communities, and do your own thing. Opinions are like ********. See what works best for you, but you'll spend some cash learning. I sure did.. but I prefer to shoot film. You'll see the difference in your product... your shooting style and your storyboarding. It's a cleaner way to work since you have to keep things tight! Film aint cheap... but the end product is mesmerizing. -
Oracle equals_path condition NOT working with table and materialized view
The user i am using is xdb with dba role.
1.When i try to use the statement
SELECT PATH FROM xdb.path_VIEW
WHERE
EQUALS_PATH(res, '/home/OE/PurchaseOrders/2002')=1
the result is
/home/OE/PurchaseOrders/2002
2. When i drop the path_view and recreated it like materialized view with statement
create MATERIALIZED view path_view as
select /*+ ORDERED */ t2.path path, t.res res,
xmltype.createxml(xdb.xdb_link_type(NULL, r2.xmldata.dispname, t.name,
h.name, h.flags, h.parent_oid, h.child_oid),
'http://xmlns.oracle.com/xdb/XDBStandard.xsd', 'LINK') link,
t.resid
from ( select xdb.all_path(9999) paths, value(p) res, p.sys_nc_oid$ resid,
p.xmldata.dispname name
from xdb.xdb$resource p
where xdb.under_path(value(p), '/', 9999)=1 ) t,
TABLE( cast (t.paths as xdb.path_array) ) t2,
xdb.xdb$h_link h, xdb.xdb$resource r2
where t2.parent_oid = h.parent_oid and t2.childname = h.name and
t2.parent_oid = r2.sys_nc_oid$
then the equals_path condition STOP working !!!
3. The same experiment, but i recreate it like table
create table path_view as .... using the rest of the statement ...
Can someone help me to understand why equals_path is NOT working on table and materialized view !Thanks Jonah. I was under the impression that I already had it but seems like it has to be a direct priv - thru a role doesn't work.
I granted the reqd privs and then it worked fine. Thx for your help! -
Able to work with Full HD material?
I'm intending to start working with video editing and finishing at my office with my 24" iMac 3.06 GHz Intel Core 2 Duo, I've installed the latest version of FCP, the 7.
However, some video editing professionals I've been consulting lately they are telling me that my iMac couldn't stand to work with full HD video material (of over a hour of full HD video material, I've been told), that I should have acquired a Mac Pro, to work with full HD video material.
I'd like to know if there is some true in all this, since I've spent a great deal of money buying an iMac.
Message was edited by: SemNick01Don't use an iMac for editing and finishing RED footage. C'mon... all this great camera goodness, all this PROFESSIONAL stuff on the front end and you will stick a consumer computer to edit it? iMacs are fine for offline/creative editing, but NOT finishing. Red is a very demanding format, and when you only have access to firewire drives...you are shooting yourself in the foot.
Just because it is the most powerful iMac, doesn't mean it is good for editing high end HD. HDV, maybe...AVCHD, sure. RED? C'mon. If you shoot professionally, EDIT professionally. Don't throw ALL your money at production and RED, then go "we have NOTHING LEFT! Now what?" Too many people do this, and it is wrong.
Get a MacPro...two cheap 20" monitors, and use that. If you plan on finishing...meaning color correction and output...you are going to need a capture card or IO device to get the image onto a broadcast monitor...and you can't do that with an iMac.
And please don't ask "do I really need to have that?" Yes, you do.

Device not working with Log and Transfer in FCP
I am trying to get some footage off my camera into final cut pro, but Final Cut Pro does not recognise my device when I try to use Log & Transfer
The camera is question is a Cannon Legria FS20, here is a link
http://www.canon.co.uk/ForHome/Product_Finder/Camcorders/flash_memory/LEGRIAFS20/
I have looked around but can't seem to find any plug-ins to get it to work with Final Cut Pro, does anyone know any way I can get it to work with Log and Transfer
Upon inspecting the hard drive, it saves video files in .MOD format with an .MOI file (which i assume is a metadata file
How can I get it so that my device works with log and transfer?
ThanksHi -
I did a little Google searching for information on your camera and it appears that it is a Standard Definition Camera that records in the MPEG-2 format.
Log and Transfer only works with High Definition material.
You will need to convert your video clips into a format that will work with FCP.
I know nothing about working in PAL, but you want to download an free application called MPEG Streamclip from
http://www.squared5.com/svideo/mpeg-streamclip-mac.html
This application will convert your MPEG-2 files into a format that you can use directly in FCP.
Once you have converted the files to Apple DV-PAL, with the correct frame rate (25fps?) and field dominance you can either simply drag the converted files into FCP or import them using File > Import.
Hope this helps.

BI iviews not working without super admin role in portal
Hi all,
I have published reports to the portal from BI and then created Bex iviews using the querystrings and attached iviews to roles.
They all run with my user ID which has super admin access.
But for the end users the we get a portal runtime error when he tries to view the report through iview.
Portal runtime error.
An exception occurred while processing your request. Send the exception ID to your portal administrator.
Exception ID: 06:24_31/03/11_0185_2598150
Refer to the log file for details about this exception.
If I give superadmin role to the end user the iviews run fine.
Please tell me how to access this iview without superadmin role.

Does the DCR-SR62 30GB Sony Handycam work with Final Cut Express hd 3.5?
Hi,
I am a new mac user and I want to get a good camera that will work with Final Cut Express hd, I am currently looking at the DCR-SR62 30GB and the HDR-UX1 dvd both by sony and I would like to know if these to cameras or one of them will work with Final Cut Express Hd. Thanks.Niether one of these cams are the best choice for FCE. FC can not directly work with either DVD or HD (as in Hard drive) camcorders. You will have to convert and/or rip the output of either camera, giving you an extra work step and perhaps diminishing the quality of your footage
FCE is designed to work with DV/HDV material ... from a tape, throught a Firewire connection
There is software like MPEG Streamclip which will allow you to convert those cam's output to work with FC but if you haven't bought them yet, I would hold off and look at a good quality tape based cam -

Problem with *serial no. profile* in work sheduling view of material master
Hi ! !
I am here with a problem with serial no. profile in work sheduling view of material master.
By mistake for some FHMI type ( PRODUCTION RESOURCE TOOLS )materials, serial no profile exist in 'work sheduling' view. Due to that we are facing problem in GRN.
when I am trying to remove that with MM02. i m getting a message as Serial numbers already assigned to this material
Please suggest how to remove serial no. profile.
Thanks in advance,
PrabHi,
go to MMBE and check the Current Serial number...for FHMI type
and go to IQ02 and close the Serial number range at the Current number range...
Now you can assign this serial number range to another material type...
Thx

My hard drive crashed on my Imac 24" 2009, I installed a new hard drive 2TB and a SSD drive 240 GB and removed the optical drive.
What external DVD can I get to work with the IMac? The Apple super drive is not compatible.Virtually any DVD burner that can connect to your Mac will work. They start at $40 on Amazon.

Best Sequence settings to work with HDV on FCP6
Friends
I'm a wedding videographer, I just got FCP6 and I have some doubts regarding Sequence Settings to work with HDV, if possible, could someone please help me?
I have a MacBook Pro, Intel Core 2 Duo 2.33 ghz and 2 GB Ram...
I started my FCP6 and selected Easy Setup as HDV-1080i60 FireWire Basic
1-) On Sequence Settings, General Tab, I left it as the easy setup set for me (Compressor HDV 1080i60, quality 100%, field UPPER, etc...).
2-) On Video Processing tab which options should I select?
a) Render in 8 bit YUV or Render all YUV material in High Precision YUV ?
b) Motion Filter Quality as Normal or Best ?
c) In Process Maximum White should I selected White or Super White ?
3-) On Render Control tab:
a) I set codec to Apple ProRes 422.
b) in Master Templates and Motion Projects, should I set Quality to NORMAL or BEST ?
c) in Master Templates and Motion Projects, should I check the box "Always Use Best Quality When Rendering Movies" ?
thanks ererybody for your attention.
Regards
MarceloHi Marcelo
After choosing your Easy Setup my advice would be to leave everything on its default setting, except for switching the Render Control to Apple ProRes 422. Don't sweat the details, it really is that simple.
Stand by tho ... others will almost certainly chime in quickly with all the details you can shake a stick at, but if they all get rather confusing then revert to plan A above and enjoy.

} If I change the GUI constructor to empty and extend JFrame instead of JDialog and change the call to super the ActionListener stops working. I've never known this problem before (i.e. I always use e.getSource()). I've even cast the object to a JButton to ensure that the right button is pressed and it is all ok.
Is there something fundamentally wrong when I make those simple changes to JFrame?
Regards,
ChrisI think rather the approach is your action handling in terms of the buttons. The giant actionPerformed method is difficult to read and maintain.
I would recommend the following things:
1. Split your ActionListener into multiple smaller listeners. There's not really even a reason for the GUI class to be an action listener. Instead of having GUI implement ActionListener and trying to keep all of the functionality in one place, use anonymous classes:
button3.addActionListener(new ActionListener()
public void actionPerformed(ActionEvent e)
name = field3.getText();
Message deleteMessage = new Message(DELETE_FILE);
deleteMessage.setFileName(name);
sendMessageToServer(deleteMessage);
field3.setText(defaultText);
button4.addActionListener(new ActionListener()
public void actionPerformed(ActionEvent e)
name = field4.getText();
Message createMessage = new Message(CREATE_FILE);
createMessage.setFileName(name);
sendMessageToServer(createMessage);
field4.setText(defaultText);
2. Only use the == operator on primitives. There are very few cases in which you can properly use the == operator on objects and, in every one of those cases I have experienced, the equals(Object) method produces the same result.
3. Name your variables more descriptively. There is really very little reason for your buttons to be named button1, button2, and so on. Give them names that mean something. For example, button1 should be named something like uploadFileButton or buttonUpload. That will give us significant information about what it is expected to do, whereas button1 does not. You may be able to remember what button1 does, but you wrote the code. I keep having to refer back to the instantiation of the button to get a hint as to what it does and, in a few months' time, so will you. :) The same goes for your labels and fields, as well.
I'm not sure why you aren't getting the behavior you want. However, have you checked to determine that the event source of the button click is actually the button when the whole thing is inside of a JFrame? I would expect it to be, but you never know. This is why I recommend using different ActionListeners for each button. That way, you can be sure of what caused the event.
Just my 2c. Good luck to you. :) -
Can't seem to get this computer to work with 3D
I just got this qosmio f755-3d350 today.
I've spent a half day trying to get it working, and I'm starting to get frusterated with it.
and the level of support.
Comon Toshiba, you know better then releasing a product that doesn't work. and little support.
the only thing that seems to work as far as 3D is loading a video in the blue ray player.
I've tried games, 3d viewers, mpo's, videos, even iz3d as well.
so i'm going through this link i found on the web as to check to see if everything is up to date.
and I found this
How to check if the updates have been installed correctly
NVIDIA display driver
- Run [PC Diagnostic Tool] from [Start] Menu -> [All Programs] -> [TOSHIBA] -> [Utilities]
- Check the version of [Video] if it is 8.17.12.9039 or later
Super-D IC Driver
- Open [Control Panel]
- Select [Programs] – [Uninstall a program]
- Find [SuperD spd2900gs]
- Check if the version is 1.0.1613.809 or later
TOSHIBA Blu-ray Disc™ Player
- Open [Control Panel]
- Select [Programs] – [Uninstall a program]
- Find [TOSHIBA Blu-ray Disc™ Player ]
- Check if the version is 1.0.1.299 or later
BIOS
- Run [PC Diagnostic Tool] from [Start] Menu -> [All Programs] -> [TOSHIBA] -> [Utilities]
- Check the [BIOS Version] if it is 2.00 or later
so in checking all my drivers to make sure they are all up to date, i noticed something odd.
eeven though i downloaded and installed the latest superd driver.
Super-D IC Driver(v1.0.1613.809; 12-16-2011; 53.66M)
when i go to my control panel/program files
it says the superd driver is
version 1.0.0.0
i redownloaded the latest file and did an uninstal and reinstall. same thing.
so either this driver is mislabeled, or the version isn't updated in the code.
I don't really know, but wht i do know is I can't get this thing to do any 3D
except use the one installed movie viewer.
any help on this would be appreciated. I'd rather not have to use third party drivers to try
to trick my computer into working.
this really needs to be resolved and supported by toshiba. especially when people are paying 1300 - 1700 for these things.I tried some of the games that were already installed. not 1 worked.
I tried downloading a 3d vision approved game but I got too frusterated to test it
I tried all my 3d vision apps, that work on my glasses display like cycerlink powerdvd
or me image manipulation tools for editing 3d images. Not 1 worked.
The only app I've seen work is the mp4 viewer that comes with the thing. and it only plays a couple of formats
and some vids work and some don't.
I bought the laptop so I could create my own 3D images. and display them. But not 1 thing works that works on
all other nvidia vision computers with glasses displays.ou
This to me is kinda unacceptable since this laptop claims it supports 3D and all you can do is play
a few mp4's or dvd's.
If I would have known this. I never would have bought it.
And the most aggrevating is toshiba doesn't seem to care.
If toshiba can write a driver that makes the camera turn on, and play some mp4 movies.
they can surely fix the problem.
Especially is IZ3D is doing their job for them. but mickymouse, and works with some things.
This is unaccceptable when people are paying $1700.00 for these.
It should do what it claims to do -
How to Work With Still Images in Premiere Elements 10
I am struggling with the still images in my Titles for my video project, and would really appreciate some help. I have done a lot of googling on this and searched this forum, but can't seem to find the answer I need, maybe not searching the right questions or just "not getting it". Not even PE Adobe tips or Adobe TV cover this, although it seems important to know. I am not clear how PE10 will handle the resolution of an imported still image or graphic art from Photoshop. Perhaps this topic will also help others as well.
I am working on a video project for my job, editing an old training video. Created new Title graphics in Photoshop, inserted the Title images and integrated with video clips, then exported the video segments as MPEG files. I burned the whole video to DVD.
When the final DVD plays on a computer or TV screen, the photo images in the titles are fuzzy even though they were clear 300 dpi images. (I know dpi doesn't matter in video). The title text is also a bit fuzzy and the title text that has animation applied to it is even more fuzzy. Yet the old MPEG video clips look fine - it's just my title graphics and text that look bad (embarrasing).
So I need to know how to improve the quality of the still images/graphics for a video??
Project settings:
- Hard Disk, Standard 48kHz
- Editing Mode: DV NTSC
- Frame: 720 x 480 (0.9091)
- Frame rate: 29.97fps
- with "Optimize Stills" box checked
Using these settings because I am working with MPEG files from an old training video CD.
File Export: MPEG, NTSC DVD Standard
I export the video clips as MPEGS because they will be burned to a CD or DVD for distribution to our staff offices.
Work Details:
In Photoshop, I created still image graphics for each Title sized at 720 x480 with high resolution photos and company logo (300 dpi), and save them as a bitmap to import into PE10. In the Timeline, I insert the still image in "Video 1" track, then in Video 2 track create a Title over it for text (some animated, some still). Sometimes I stack 2 or three titles with text in separate video tracks over one still title image. Yes, there is a red line across the top in the Timeline because I didn't render the still images.
Questions:
• What is the best resolution for images imported into PE10 from Photoshop?
• Should I be creating title graphics/images at 720 x 480 or a larger ratio like 1920 x 1080 so it will display better when seen on a computer or TV?
• Do I need to render each title image in the timeline so that it will eventually display better in the MPEG?
• Is it better to create a title and then insert the still image into the title so they are integrated, rather than layered on separate video tracks?
I would greatly appreciate any assistance.When the final DVD plays on a computer or TV screen, the photo images in the titles are fuzzy even though they were clear 300 dpi images. (I know dpi doesn't matter in video). The title text is also a bit fuzzy and the title text that has animation applied to it is even more fuzzy. Yet the old MPEG video clips look fine - it's just my title graphics and text that look bad (embarrasing).
Remember that DVD-Video was designed for CRT TV sets, and was a major step up from VHS tape. However, when viewed on an HD computer monitor, or HD TV *, it is still ONLY 720 x 480, with is about 1/4 of the resolution as 1920 x 1080, which is about what we are used to seeing on those display devices. That is but only 25% of the quality. It can never look as good as HD material.
Good luck, and if I missed something, please point that out to me.

* With the advent of BD players, and up-rezzing DVD players, things HAVE improved, when viewing a DVD-Video on an HD TV. The newer players have up-rezzing chips, that do a very good job of "improving" the viewed material's quality. However, even with those amazing chips, DVD-Video will NEVER be as good as a full-HD source. Also, computers do not have those up-rezzing chips, so when one views a DVD-Video on a high-rez computer monitor, it will still look pretty bad. There ARE a couple of new DVD software players, that improve the quality of DVD-Video played on a high-rez computer monitor, and a few look fairly promising. I speculate that we will see some more development in the DVD-Video area, especially as BD is not proving to be the big seller, that many promised. Even 3D is not helping BD realize its promise.
