What is the best Book or online class for Adobe Indesign, Photoshop & the rest in Australia?

Hi All,
I live in australia and love using the creative cloud platform. I would like to further my training both basic and advanced in a few of the services. Is there a good set of books or physical online class (like through Seek learning etc) for Adobe??
Regards,
Sam

You can't beat the online www.Lynda.com online classes.
If you want a beginner's book on InDesign, I recommend Sandee Cohen's InDesign Visual QuickStart Guide (Peachpit Press). For an advanced class, look for Real World InDesign (Peachpit Press).

  • What's the best DIVX file conversion solutions for Adobe Premiere Pro CS4, Windows XP OS.

    I am on a PC with CS4 Adobe Premiere Pro using XP OS.
    I have VIO POV 1 (helmet cam) footage that I need to edit within my CS4 project.  The Footage is DIVX MPEG4 AVI and Premiere doesn't recognize the video.  I need to figure out the best conversion to maintain the highest quality format that Premiere will recognize.
    What is your best recommendation on how to convert (and what format to convert to to maintain the best quality) and can you recommend a good converter program?  Free perhaps if I don't have to buy one.
    I have spent days looking for a solution and reviewing posts but to no avail.  I have tried MPEG Streamclip, Virtual Dub, Digital Media Converter, Prism and many selected others.
    -MPEG Streamclip doesn't seem to recognize the DIVX files (even after the 3IVX codec installed)
    -Digital Media Converter (free watermarked version) seems to work to produce the DV AVI files (type II) but the quality is pretty low so not really wanting to pay $50 to use the low quality conversion -does the converter program have much to do with the quality of the output?  It also produces a MPEG2 that seems a little better quality than the DV AVI file it produces.
    -Prism does convert to a high quality AVI file that does output a really high quality file that plays in Media Player (latest version) but not in Premiere Pro CS4. Prism also converts to a WMV (windows media vid) that I can use on PP but is not quite the quality of the above noted AVI.  This may be my best option???? Or is it a bad idea to use a compressed codec as wmv to edit and eventually output for the complete PP movie?
    http://www.nchsoftware.com/prism/index.html
    Any insight is very much appreciated. I must get on with my editing project!!! Thanks,
    Aaron.

    Jeff, thanks so much, but I'm still not quite there!  Agreed, codec packs can be dangerous but apparently the DIVX one is OK!
    So I downloaded the DIVX pack, and the VirtualDub did work and converted via VirtualDub to AVI,... then tried in PremierePro.  Again no luck viewing... sound OK but the video freezes on the first frame or two.  I can view those outputs in MediaPlayer or DIVX player though. So I tried rerunning the UT codec installer and the logarith but still can't view the outputs from VirtualDub in PP.
    I tried (in VirtualDub) converting the previously converted AVI file I did in Prism converter and again, can see the output in PP (still minor artifacts here and there though).
    ?Maybe I should just be happy with a the DIVX converted to a .wmv file but I think I will be sacrificing quality on already pretty grainy footage that I'm inserting into a largely HD film project so kinda shotty?
    Any more suggestions? The help is greatly appreciated!
    Aaron.

  • What is the best digital microscope to buy for optimal compatibility with the Mac?

    I do not know which scope to buy for optimal compatibility. Any help one can give would be greatly appreciated. Thanks

    Omax digital microscope works great with Macs.  What you have to do is ignore the cd that comes with it that contains Windows software and connect the scope to your computer.  Boot up the Phone Booth app and it will display what is viewed in the scope.

  • What's the best way to save clips for general viewing on the web?

    I am new to iMovie, but not to Macs or file formats.
    I have taken some video of kittens at a local cat shelter, hoping to post the clips at the shelter's website in efforts to get the kittens adopted.
    I managed to work through iMovie myself, saving the clips so that the person responsible for the website can post them. I first saved them as .mov files - the web person can view them, but others cannot. (They are all using IBM-compatibles) She is trying to get them to launch from an html page. So I tried saving them as .wmv files, but the little fade-outs I placed at the ends of the clips were truncated... the fade-ins were there, but not the fade-outs.
    The video started out very good quality, and I would like to retain as much of that quality as possible, while of course keeping them small and manageable. But first of all, I need the web person to be able to post them, and then need everyone to be able to view them.
    Am I asking too much, given there are so many ibms out there?

    you ask for a solution of a very common problem: the universal video format...
    due to sheer market power, .avi and .wmv are the most used standards.
    avi is just a container, little supported on Mac; you can choose it as an export option in iM, but it offers just a few compressors (dv/bmp = nice looking, but large, cinepak=small but ugly...)
    for export to .wmv, you need, as mish mentioned, to buy a plug-in from flip4mac, we do read enthusiastic responses on that product... but, Mac-users need additional software to read these files (the free plug-in from flip4mac or the free wmv player for Mac from Microsoft)
    RealPlayer needs costly encoders, and again special players...
    a nice option is .flv, flash-video... needs investment into FlashMX, $$$$ or shareware as VisualHub...
    finally, which works for me and my few PC friends, is usage of mp4... without .mov container; choose "mpeg4" in the expert options... your friend has to open that file once in Windows MediaPlayer manually once and save it again, to get rid of some meta-data "Quicktime needed" (which isn't true)... some PCs open these mp4 by double-click, some PCs demand for QT4Windows.. but, as said, manually (open dialog from within WMP) these mp4s are compatible..
    better pic results are earned with that little free app iSquint, I LOVE to recommend, it has an excellent algorithm...
    sorry, lots of tech blabla... difficult issue...

  • What's the best logic reverb to use for trumpets and sax

    what's the best logic reverb to use for trumpets and sax.

    The lower transmit frequency limit is in there to make the device meet FCC regulations.. that is a regulation imposed of US regions and, to a lesser extent, Latin american regions that border with the US.
    In addition, you'll be pleased to know that the N900 will not use certain European WiFi channels if a) the sim card is removed or b) the phone has a sim card but is OUT of 3G coverage.. again, to make the device meet FCC regulations.. (seriously.. when you go out of 3G coverage, the kernel reports it is switching from EU wifi to US wifi!!)
    Let me put this into perspective..
    From: http://www.nokia.com/results/Nokia_results2009Q3e.pdf
    Nokia sold 3.1million handsets in the US 2009 Q3
    Nokia sold 27.1million handsets in Europe during the same period.. That is 9 times as many.
    The USA has its OWN firmware
    and yet ALL versions of the firmware (including the UK specific one) are crippled to meet the requirements of a region that produces the lowest sales figures by a factor of 3 (Latin America produced 9.7 million units in 2009Q3)
    Why the HELL are we suffering because of US restrictions..
    That's like saying you can't use bluetooth because it isn't allowed on the Christmas islands.. (it is allowed.. not picking on you, Christmas Islands, but you are small!)
    If the FCC wants a phone that doesn't allow broadcasts on sub 88Mhz frequences, and doesn't want certain Wifi channels to be used, the ALTER THE US FIRMWARE..
    What next, BMWs have with left hand steering in the UK because the US drives on the Left?
    Phillips TVs that only work on 120V because the US uses 120V..
    I don't give a **** what the FCC say.. I'm not in the US and I have my own european and UK legislation to adhere to..
    For a company that INSISTS on having a billion regional firmware versions, they don't appear to be able to get that right either!!! The UK version lacks UK specific restrictions such as the ability to us UK frequencies for wifi and FM transmission!!
    Crazy and very very irritating

  • Best audio gear to buy for adobe audition to make audiobook & podcast & elearning screencast ?

    what is the best audio gear to buy for adobe audition to make audiobook and podcast and screencast video tutorials?
    I will work alone with one microphone only in my bedroom.
    Thanks

    I'll assume that initially you won't want to spend a fortune, but also, you won't want stuff that you will later regret purchasing. And to do this sensibly, you'll want to spend a bit more money on the microphone than on the external sound device.
    For a microphone, you could do a lot worse than to get a Rode NT1-A complete vocal recording solution. With the kit, you get a mic cable, shockmount, pop shield, a bag for it - and also a tutorial DVD, but you can safely ignore that... The kits are generally available at quite a competitive price, and Rode microphones have a good value-for-money reputation. You'll still need some sort of a stand, either desk or floor mounting - but they're easy to find.
    For a sound device, you could consider something like the Focusrite Scarlett 2i2 USB interface. This has all the useful bits you'll need - like the ability to plug a pair of headphones into the front for direct monitoring. Focusrite kit has a good reputation, and isn't overly expensive for what it is. This is a basic solution that would actually let you use two mics if you wanted, so there's a little room for expansion if you need. If you want to spend less money there are options like the Tascam US-122 - but I'd personally spend just a little more on the Focusrite - they have better mic preamps.
    Yes you'll need a pair of headphones, but here the choice is rather up to you, although I'd recommend that you look at Beyer and Sennheiser for clean consistent results, although they aren't the only ones. You need closed-back ones though if you use them near the mic - something like the Beyer DT-250 is a good choice, because they have replacable leads, and the feed is into one side of the headphone only - and they're comfortable.
    Since I don't know where you are located, I don't know what this is actually going to cost you, but it's good basic kit that should last you for a while, and produce decent results without spending a fortune. Yes it's possible to spend a heck of a lot of money on stuff like this, but the law of diminishing returns sets in quite early, and you can get remarkably good results these days without spending a lot at all. There are a few brands that are generally better avoided, like Behringer. Nothing wrong with Behringer electronics, but they economise on their hardware, and invariably things like sockets stop working, and knobs fall off. Oh, and they use cheap level controls etc, and these become noisy quite fast. You get what you pay for - it's cheap but it won't last long before you experience trouble.

  • What is the best book on developing ios apps?

    I'm a beginner looking to develop ios apps. Can someone recommend a good beginner book?

    The answer really depends upon your previous development experience, if any. If you're new to programming, or don't have any experience with C, I'd start with "Learn C on the Mac" by Dave Mark. Here it is at Safari Books Online:
    http://my.safaribooksonline.com/book/programming/c/9781430218098
    This has nothing to do with iOS, but it will lay the foundations for learning Objective-C, for which Stephen Kochan's "Programming in Objective-C" is always highly recommended. The 3rd edition just came out recently (June 2011):
    http://techbus.safaribooksonline.com/book/programming/objective-c/9780321712172
    Again, not iOS specific, but this gives you a solid foundation in the languages. I still haven't decided what is the best book for iOS app development in particular, but my favorite so far is Craig Hockenberry's "iPhone App Development: The Missing Manual":
    http://my.safaribooksonline.com/9780596809997?portal=oreilly&cid=orm-cat-readnow -9780596809997
    Hockenberry's book might be all you need if you have some C and/or Objective-C experience. And it's a good guide, in any case, in that it covers iPhone app development from start to finish, including such things as signing up for a develper account, setting up your iPhone so you can test your apps on it, and submitting your apps to the app store.

  • What is the best books for MCSA 2012

    pleas can you advice me what are the best books and materials for pass MCSA 2012?
    thank you.

    Hi, HFAA.
    I understand you want to earn the MCSA title for something with a version number of
    2012.
    There are six (6) different MCSA certification titles currently available. Two of them are version 2012, which are Windows Server 2012 and SQL Server 2012. Here is the web page that describes all six (6) MCSA titles:
    http://www.microsoft.com/learning/en-us/mcsa-certification.aspx
    I am going to assume that you are interested in the most popular MCSA 2012 title:
    MCSA: Windows Server 2012.
    The MCSA: Windows Server 2012 description web page is located here:
    http://www.microsoft.com/learning/en-us/mcsa-windows-server-certification.aspx
    Exams
    You need to pass three (3) required exams to earn this title. If you click each of the links below, you will find the exams' descriptions with a
    Skills measured section describing what is on each exam. As well, you will see a Preparation options section full of study resources for each exam. 
    70-410 Installing and Configuring Windows Server 2012
    70-411 Administering Windows Server 2012
    70-412 Configuring Advanced Windows Server 2012 Services
    Preparation Materials
    Unfortunately, Microsoft has recently updated the content for these three (3) exams for
    Windows Server 2012 R2. These new exams will officially be released on January 28th, 2014 (nine (9) days away). Because of that, all of the previously released study materials (books, exams, etc.) for 70-410, 70-411, and 70-412
    will only be partially helpful in getting you ready for the exams.
    However, Microsoft Press and O'Reilly Media are currently updating their books to include the new
    R2 content and will be releasing them in February, March, and April of this year. The previous releases of their books seem to get the best reviews on Amazon for helping students prepare. Here are the books, with links on Amazon and
    O'Reilly. As time goes by, books from other publishers will also be released.
    Amazon:
    http://www.amazon.com/s/ref=nb_sb_noss?url=search-alias%3Daps&field-keywords=%22Windows%20server%202012%20r2%22%20exam
    O'Reilly Media:
    http://search.oreilly.com/?q=%22Server+2012+R2%22+exam&x=9&y=15
    By the way, I tend to believe the O'Reilly's release dates are more accurate since they are the folks who are actually releasing the books!
    WARNING: As of today (01/19/2014), I don't believe any of the three legitimate Practice Test Providers (Transcender, SelfTest, and MeasureUp) have updated their practice exams for Windows Server 2012 R2 - yet. If I am wrong, I hope someone
    will correct me.
    Focus all your studies on Windows Server 2012 R2 and should be ready to take on an exam. Always prepare for one exam at a time and then take it.
    Also, make sure you take advantage of Microsoft's free Second Shot voucher program, which allows you to retake an exam for free in case you fail it the first time. This program will retire in May.
    http://www.microsoft.com/learning/en-us/second-shot.aspx
    Good luck!
    Best wishes, Davin Mickelson

  • Whats the best book on JSTL?

    Whats the best book on JSTL?

    Actually I would recommend getting the specification.
    It is quite readable, and shows exactly what all the tags do.
    http://java.sun.com/products/jsp/jstl/reference/api/index.html
    If you want an actual book, then JSTL in Action is good. It is a little out of date being based on JSTL1.0, but there were not that many changes to the JSTL itself coming into 1.1 - mainly the changes were to the JSP spec. Everything it says pretty much still applies.
