Blender: border rendering is not supported by sequencer - blender

Im using blender to edit a video and when i try to render it, it comes up with the error: border rendering is not supported by sequencer.
Using blender 2.80

Disabling Render Region fixed the problem for me.

Turning off border rendering (render region blender 2.8) in Rendering -> Properties -> Output properties
fixed it for me.
I recall playing with menus and the hypothesis is that I checked it somewhere along the way to cause that problem in the first place.

I cant comment yet bc of reputation apparently, so I guess I have to leave my comment behind here. I do have an answer but I'm not sure if it is a correct one.
I had the same problem, and I think i fixed it by unchecking the sequencer box under Post processing in the same tab as where you edit the format and encoding etc. But now that it does let me render my video (just a picture with audio under it) the render result is audio only? Could be a seperate problem or part of this solution, idk. Would unchecking that box help for you?

stange lines in videojs

Started to use videojs.
When the download rate is slow and the video get stuk (while buffering) I get a very strange "jumping lines" effect.
Any ideas ?
Please take a look at the following short video :

That's the loading spinner, but you must have some CSS that's altering its appearance. Look for styles you have targeting .vjs-loading-spinner.

webvtt position wrong when using css translate on parent (slider)

In my project I'm using swiper.js as a slideshow, each slide either contains and image or a html5 video with webvtt captions / subtitles.
On debugging, we noticed that the subtitle position is wrong (too low, cuts off screen) on webkit browsers.
After much debugging it turned out that this css3 rule on the parent div (the swiper-wrapper) makes the vtt position wrongly:
transform: translate3d(-1024px, 0px, 0px)
When you put the video in the first slide, all goes well, since there's no css translate yet.
This seems to be a core webkit issue: default webvtt positioning breaks when using css translation on a parent.
The workaround I found is to add a line positioning in the vtt itself to every subtitle element, like so:
WEBVTT
00:00:02.160 --> 00:00:06.440 line:90%
hello world
00:00:06.560 --> 00:00:11.920 line:90%
testing subtitles
Any sentence without the "line: 90%" part is rendered partly offscreen. It seems this setting forces the webvtt parser / renderer to set itself to the correct position.
QUESTION: did anyone encounter this issue yet and is there any other (easier) workaround for this bug? Adding the "line:" part to all subtitles would be a hell of a job.. unless there's a good editor that can do that stuff in batch.
QUESTION 2: Since this seems to be a webkit vtt parser bug, anyone know where to best report this?
Test setup here: http://orgonemedia.nl/webvtt-bug/
I'm currently debugging some WebVTT files for English captions and other languages too. I'm experiencing a similar problem, although I can't say what is exactly causing it. I'm going to try the line:90% fix you've suggested here.
ANSWER TO YOUR QUESTION 1: Regarding the job of adding it to all the subtitles, you'll be happy to know that's actually pretty easy with the right tool. I use Sublime Text Editor. The way I would do it is use "Find all" to find all the occurrences of -->, then simultaneously edit each of those lines, using the arrow key to navigate across to the right place on the line (since each subtitle out-time is the same number of characters, 12), then type in line:90%
UPDATE:
So I implemented your suggestion, using the method I outlined, and it successfully repositioned my captions.
More details: I was only experiencing the problem of captions being half off the bottom of the video when viewing on an iPad. Oddly enough, viewing the same page on an iPhone, they were positioned correctly without any change. The 90% change still adjusted it up though.
Intriguingly the line:90% code does nothing to adjust caption position when viewing the page on Chrome.
I'm having trouble getting much at all to display on Safari desktop. I think there's something invalid about my file format, but I'm darned if I can find it.
When editing the captions through my video hosting service's caption editor (I'm using JWPlayer), the timecodes show up as being invalid:
Image showing caption editor with invalid warning

How to create a bitmap cropping control in WinJS

I want to create controls that lets the user decide crop area of a bitmap, in the common way, having four corners on the image. I saw that there is a sample C# app in the Microsoft site for this - http://www.microsoft.com/en-us/showcase/details.aspx?uuid=bef08d57-fa4d-4d9c-9080-6ee55b8623c0
But I cannot figure out how to do this strictly WinJS. Do I need to create custom controls - if so how? Any sample code will help a great deal.
I have an example in my codeSHOW project. It's the demo called Rx Crop. It uses Reactive Extensions (which are awesome by the way), but if you didn't want that dependency you could probably just use the example to figure out how to do it without.
BTW, the codeSHOW project has a bug and a usability issue currently. I have an update in certification. For now, just make sure you select the Rx Crop demo on the home screen and then click See the Code. If you hit See the Code with no demo selected it will crash.
Do me a favor and rate the app. Thanks.

Workaround for Webkit SVG foreignObject background layering bug?

When embedding html inside of SVG using the foreignObject tag, webkit based browsers render the backgrounds of the embedded html elements behind the svg elements. See http://code.google.com/p/chromium/issues/detail?id=35545 .
Here's an example : http://www.mxgraph.com/demo/markup/webkitbg.html
The green div should be on top of the red.
Does anyone know of a workaround for this issue? Maybe some incantation of z-index and/or grouping of elements or something in svg to fool webkit into doing the right thing?
This is webkit bug 58417, fixed on 2011-11-10. The fix is in Chromium version 17, which is currently in beta as of 2012-01-09, and should be released in early February. Not sure when the fix will land in Safari, but luckily I don't need to support it.
So the workaround seems to be "wait a month"...
I've just been hit by the same issue. Even though the bug is fixed since a long time in Chrome, Safari seems to be ages behind with the codebase.
My solution is to add style="display:inline-block" to the first child of the foreignObject tag. This seems to fix the problem.

Search and Highlight text in PDF for IPad

I am working on the PDF App for iPad and facing an issue: how to search a text in PDF and also how to highlight that text?
Yours is the same big problem I'm having. My understanding is that, currently on iOS 4.0, the main public API is CGPDF . It allows us to parse PDF, and with it we can search strings in it. See also this Quartz 2D document. It also allows us to render it on the screen using CGContextDrawPage. However, it's not yet possible to get the position of a text in the rendered image. (On OS X it's possible using PDFKit.)
So, I'm afraid that you need to implement the PDF spec yourself to get that info. I think GoodReader etc. is working very very hard to implement these.
I had the same trouble recently and then I found FastPDFKit. Have tested the package and it's working great.
