Does the Panasonic AG-HMC150 AVCHD work well with FCE?

My buying finger is poised over the "send" button so that I can buy a Panasonic AG-AMC150 AVCHD camcorder, but I read a couple of reviews which have given me pause.
One says that FCE does not work well with this camcorder and I need a REaLLY powerful Mac or I am sunk.
Yet another says that working with this 'corder's AVCHD and FCE is a pain in the neck.
A little first hand knowledge would be an enormous help. Thank you.
(PS They did not use the words 'sunk' or 'neck.')

Sasha, once again, thank you.
No questions, but for the sake of completeness, and to assist those who may read this thread, let me make a couple of comments.
I like this camcorder, because of its features and price, and I am about to buy it. If I were doing event work, such as weddings, I don't think I would. I make family documentaries and scripted movies, so a shoulder mount is not important to me.
I like to buy from Amazon. They sported a low price and I have always had an excellent experience with them. Their supplier is Willoughby's whom I looked up on Sellerratings.com. The reviews I read there led me to decide to buy nothing else from Willoughby's, just the camera, and to examine it carefully when it arrives to make sure that it is in its original sealed packing. I recommend that you check Sellerratings.com before placing an order, too. I trust Amazon, but I am sending off my order with some trepidation. I shall buy a larger battery and some SD cards elsewhere. (The battery that comes withe the camcorder seems to be universally despised.)
Beware of the reviews on the Amazon site. A large number of them, mostly mis-spelled, are, to me anyway, suspiciously rapturous. No camcorder is that good. One reviewer said that the HMC150 changed his life. Really?
The Panasonic site has a wealth of detail about this camcorder.
I found some good and useful info on YouTube, too, particularly one video which showed a videographer using the this camcorder and explaining his set-up procedures step by step.
Much about requirements and compatability can be seen in this thread. Thank you Sasha
OK That is enough. Hope this was of some help.

Is the hp envy 27-k309 work well with photoshop cc 2014 ?

is the hp envy 27-k309 work well with photoshop cc 2014 ?

Did you already ask in the HP site?
The chances of finding someone in this user forums who has that device without specifying your platform is not that good.
BOILERPLATE TEXT:
Note that because this is boilerplate text.
If you give complete and detailed information about your setup and the issue at hand,
such as your platform (Mac or Win),
exact versions of your OS, of Photoshop (not just "CS6", but something like CS6v.13.0.6) and of Bridge,
your settings in Photoshop > Preference > Performance
the type of file you were working on,
machine specs, such as total installed RAM, scratch file HDs, total available HD space, video card specs, including total VRAM installed,
what troubleshooting steps you have taken so far,
what error message(s) you receive,
if having issues opening raw files also the exact camera make and model that generated them,
if you're having printing issues, indicate the exact make and model of your printer, paper size, image dimensions in pixels (so many pixels wide by so many pixels high). if going through a RIP, specify that too.
etc.,
someone may be able to help you (not necessarily this poster).
a screen shot of your settings or of the image could be very helpful too.

Does APC's PowerChute V1.34 work well with Tiger?

Has anyone loaded APC's PowerChute personal edition V1.34 software for Mac?
Does it work well with Tiger/Leopard or cause problems?

Although I installed the APC PowerChute 1.3.4 (the version that supports Intel-based Macs, which is what I have), I ended up trying to use the 'Energy Saver' tab-> UPS (settings) -> UPS.
In there, I set it to have the computer :
1) Shutdown the computer when it has been on UPS power for : 5 mins
2) Shutdown the computer when the time left on UPS power is : 15 mins
3) Shutdown the computer when the UPS power level drops to : 70%
I unplugged the UPS from the wall and watched the timer tick down, and the battery capacity drain... it was unplugged for well over 10 mins (criteria 1 should have fired, but didn't), it went down below 10 mins left on UPS, based on the tool bar indicator (criteria 2 should have fired, but didn't), it went down to about 45% full (criteria 3 should have fired).
Net result, I didn't wait for the Mac to crash, eventually, I lost in the game of chicken, and plugged the UPS back into the wall, with about 7 minutes of UPS time, 40% of UPS Battery Level, and having unplugged the UPS for about 10 minutes +.
Why is the Mac not shutting down ?
I do have the cable plugged into the UPS (APC UPS ES 650 G), and the other end is plugged into the USB port (I'm guessing I have that connected right, otherwise, the tab wouldn't show up in Energy Saver, and I wouldn't have the information about the UPS status available to me on the Mac).
Help ?
Thanks,
Andy

Does a belkin pre-n router work well with a macbook?

Hello, I have a macbook and am going to purchase a wireless router. I've been looking at the belkin pre-n router and have read some great reviews, but none used a mac to test the router. So does anyone have experience with this router and if so, would you recommend it? (or does anyone recommend a different router?) Thanks.

Using a MacBook you would not gain any of the alleged benefits of using a pre-n router.
Performance wise, a MacBook would work just as well with any wifi certified 802.11g wireless router.

Does Office 2004 Student Teacher edition work well with our new MBP?

Hello All,
I have an older copy of MS Office 2004 for Mac: Student/teacher. Does it run well on our new MBP's?
I also run iWork 09' but need Office for work. I have read online that the newest MS Office is not that good.
Thanks

Hi,Office 2004 is designed for PowerPC processors, so you have to use Rossetta to have it work with the new mbp, as it is based on Intel processors, and the performance may not be very satisfactory.
Office 2008 is a Universal application and runs well on Intel Macs.

Does the Mac Operating System not work properly with Youtube?

I noticed that my Messages on youtube are instantly deleted when I comment on some peoples Youtube channels. I don't think its the person that owns the youtube channels doing it because it is deleted almost instantly after I log out. It's very odd and I don't think its youtube censoring my comment because I'm not cursing in the comment and I don't believe cursing is against the TOS on Youtube anyways.
Another thing I notice is that when I'm on a flash based chatroom that when someone I am talking to has left the chatroom it will still say they are in the chatroom until I click on my friendlist and than they turn red as if they are gone. It is very odd that I am noticing these strange bugs. However the chatroom thing could be a chatroom problem because it might do that on my Windows side which I never checked because I'm usually on that chatroom on my Mac side.

The Adobe flash version could be checked to see if the system is actually using
their latest version (see Adobe, not a third party prompt from elsewhere to get it)
as that may be dated or you may have a newer -and- older Flash, and if so,
the later one may not be in use. Within OS X you can choose the newer one.
http://helpx.adobe.com/flash-player.html
{see the links further down in the above linked page, should you have additional
Mac OS X problems with Flash player or issues in general with installing it}
Also, some of youtube can be run in HTML5 and depending on the author, should
be visible even without a Flash player installed. youtube is a google product and
they also have a help section for dealing with their content. And browser settings
may affect how things work. Depending on what browser you use, this varies.
Good luck & happy computing!

Does the DSC 8.2 module work ok with Labview 8.2b23 versión

Hi all, I have the Labview 8.2 20th, but when starting in the right hand lower corner there is a 82b23 versión. I would like to get the DSC 8.2 module but I´m no sure if that version of Labview is ok for this DSC module.
Could anyone confirm this question?
Thanks in advance

See this. It's bad enough that some people are getting unlicensed versions of LabVIEW but then they also expect support.Message Edited by Dennis Knutson on 10-26-2006 06:41 AM

How well does the wireless "Wild Charge" pad work with the iPhone?

how well does the wireless "Wild Charge" pad work with the iPhone?

I have tried similar things, and no, it has not become corrupted. So it should be fine

HT1602 Hi, does my iPhone need to be on the left side of my body to work well with the Nike+ sensor in my shoes? I used it on my right side and the calibration was so off point.

Hi, does my iPhone need to be on the left side of my body to work well with the Nike+ sensor in my shoes? I used it on my right side and the calibration was so off point. I recently got a Bluetooth headphone and the antennae is on the right ear piece. For seamless connection am required to have my iPhone on my right arm if am using the headphone outdoors.

I was wondering this too. Did you ever get an answer? I just bought a non-nike pair of sneakers and have a pod pouch now on my laces. I have it tight, at the lower part of the laces so its flat. When its on the left side my time is very similar to what it was when I used the nike shoes. When it is on the right side, my time is about 35sec/mile higher. I wonder which is more accurate and if you are supposed to have them on the same side. If so, then that is as accurate as with my nike shoes. Hope we get an answer soon. Im about to return everything its so frustrating.

What external drives work well with a late 2011 MacBook Pro? I ask because I just found out the hard way that a Samsung EVO 840 does not. Also should I avail myself of something that works with Thunderbolt or Firewire?

What external drives work well with a late 2011 MacBook Pro (I7, Lion OS) apart from my Kingston flash and USB drive, and the SD drives that I use in my cameras and recording devices? I ask because I just found out the hard way that a Samsung EVO 840 does not. Also, should I avail myself of something that works with the Thunderbolt or Firewire connections? I'm looking to back up music and video files created and/or processed in Logic Pro and the Adobe Production Premium software suite (Premier Pro, After Effects, Audition, etc).

Hmm, not sure what problems you had installing this drive. The review here gives it good marks for Mac:
http://www.amazon.com/Samsung-Electronics-EVO-Series-2-5-Inch-MZ-7TE1T0BW/produc t-reviews/B00E3W16OU
There does seem to be a lot of prep to make it work:
"1. Preparation to install your new shiny SSD
1.a You will need a migration tool (I used the Sabrent kit USB 3.0 to Sata that was suggested in these review) see link http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B00DQJME7Y/ref=oh_details_o03_s01_i01?ie=UTF8&p sc=1
1.b You will need to download a trim enabler (mid 2012 macbooks only support native trim with apple brand ssd's) I recommend going to cindori.org and downloading trim enabler version 3.xx. You can do this step before or after the OS migration
1.c You cannot use the Samsung SSD migration software *don't worry Mac has its own imaging/migration utility*"
Also in those reviews:
" Only down side when using this product in a Mac Mini is you will be required to download and install Trim Enabler so that your drive performs optimally on your Mac device. This is an Apple issue, not Samsung, but it is an extra step you will have to take after you install the hard drive, and any time you perform an OS upgrade." He rant's on.
Personally I only deal with OWC:
http://eshop.macsales.com/shop/SSD/OWC/
They are very knowledgable and if there's a problem they will gladly take back the item. (Never happened to me yet - 8 years and counting).
Just upgraded my 13" MBP 2011 to 120 GB for $79. Adobe CS 6 opens in 3 seconds! Awesome!
When I was in Chicago I had a pro photographer for a client. She wound up with 4 internal drives in her Pro, 4 external drives and an dual array locked in a steel vault in the basement. All from OWC. OK she was a bit paranoid. Great client though.
As far as value for price:
http://eshop.macsales.com/item/OWC/MES3FH7500G/
500 GB for $130.
However as far as reliability is concerned:
http://www.rockpapershotgun.com/2014/01/30/are-ssds-reliable/
http://www.extremetech.com/computing/173887-ssd-stress-testing-finds-intel-might -be-the-only-reliable-drive-manufacturer
So sudden power loss is an issue with SSDs.
Personally I'd go with a moderate sized SSD internally and a conventional external for backup. An array would be the most reliable.

Does the iphone 3gs works well with ios 5

I need to buy an iphone 3gs for my daughter and need to know if it works well with the new IOS 5 or what ?

I have the nearly the same problem.
My problem is exactly that the music will play, but not over the internal loud speakers.
When in plug in the earphones i will hear the music.
Also the loud speakers would be fine, because the loudspeakers would work when i make a hands free phone call.
There must be a bug in the ios 5.1.
I also had a phenomen when I was connected in my local network, I have some airport express, I see these airport express device, the dock connector, but not the internal speaker or the iphone to select as an sound source.
And i tried to make a reset. Doesn't help.
Maybe i try next to set back the phone to manufacturer settings and restore it.
