Workflow for creating one project that can be burned to both Blu-ray and standard DVD?

Hi,
I have a 20 minute project and I'm creating a simple single menu with a play button. I'd like to create it once and be able to burn both a 1080p Blu-ray and a standard DVD. Is this possible?
Thanks

Hi,
Let me explain how transcoding works for DVD and Blueray.
Encore transcodes the files separately for DVD and Blueray and once the transcode is done and status shows transcoded the options for transcoding are greyed out, this means you have already transcoded the file and you cannot transcode again without reverting to original.
For example you have blueray selected in project settings and you click transcode now from project panel the files will be transcoded for blueray, but after transcoding if for any reason you decide to change the transcode settings and transcode the asset again with different settings you have to revert to original.
But in this case when you want to transcode the assets for DVD you don’t need to revert to original and loose the transcoding done for blueray. You can change the project settings from blueray to DVD after that you will be able to transcode for DVD without losing the transcoded files for blueray.

Can Adobe Configurator 3 create one panel that can be installed in other versions of Photoshop?

Hi,
I am able to create a new panel for CS5 and CS6, however, if I create a CS5 panel (thinking it should work in CS6 as well), when I try to install the panel ZXP file in CS6 Extenstion Manager, I am unable to do so...meaning, the CS5 panel will not load for users with CS6? Is there any way to create a panel in Configurator 3 that will export one zxp (or similar package file) that can install in multple versions of Photoshop?
I note in Configurator 2, I was able to export an mxi file that I could convert in Extension Magager 3 and that seemed to open without issue, however with Configurator 3, I don't see any other export options but zxp. Any help on this would be great! Thank you!!
Evan

Because of the difference of scripting interface of CS5 and CS6, Configurator cannot create a panel that works for multiple versions of Photoshop. You need to create two of them for CS5 and CS6. In your case, I suggest you create a panel of CS5, and then create a version of CS6 by clicking "Edit->Convert to CS6". (Some buttons will be lost if those buttons are not supported in CS6)
Configurator 3 creates the zxp for you and you need not to create one with mxi file and Extension Manager.

FCPX can't burn to a Blu-Ray disc

I purchased a Blu-Ray drive and some Blu-Ray discs. But FCP can't use the drive becasue it says some other application is using it. I went into system preferences --> CD's and DVD's and set all options to ignore such that no applicaton should be trying to use the device. But FCPx still can't use the device becasue it says it's in use.
How can I find out which application is attempting to utilize the BD drive?
When I insert a disc into the BD drive, I can hear it churning away as if soemone it attempting to read the disc I just inserted. But it's a blank disc and there is really nothing to read.
Any help appreciated.
Thanks, Jim

Welcome to the Apple Discussions. Are you able to burn a CD from another application or the Finder? If so then try deleting the iPhoto preference file, com.apple.iPhoto.plist, that resides in your User/Library/Preferences folder.
If not, how much free space do you have on your boot drive?
TIP: For insurance against the iPhoto database corruption that many users have experienced I recommend making a backup copy of the Library6.iPhoto (iPhoto.Library for iPhoto 5 and earlier) database file and keep it current. If problems crop up where iPhoto suddenly can't see any photos or thinks there are no photos in the library, replacing the working Library6.iPhoto file with the backup will often get the library back. By keeping it current I mean backup after each import and/or any serious editing or work on books, slideshows, calendars, cards, etc. That insures that if a problem pops up and you do need to replace the database file, you'll retain all those efforts. It doesn't take long to make the backup and it's good insurance.
I've created an Automator workflow application (requires Tiger or later), iPhoto dB File Backup, that will copy the selected Library6.iPhoto file from your iPhoto Library folder to the Pictures folder, replacing any previous version of it. It's compatible with iPhoto 6 and 7 libraries and Tiger and Leopard. iPhoto does not have to be closed to run the application, just idle. You can download it at Toad's Cellar. Be sure to read the Read Me pdf file.≤br>
Note: There now an Automator backup application for iPhoto 5 that will work with Tiger or Leopard.

How do I create a form that can be filled out, saved with data, and returned?

We don't want to use EchoSign or any kind of service or account. We just want to send a form to clients via email and have them returned to us with their data. Simple. Intuitive. Requires virtually no explanation or bother. Why can't I find any way to do this in Acrobat any more? Is it hidden, or completely disabled? (Acrobat Pro 10.1.7)

In Acrobat you can Reader-enable the file. For Acrobat 11, the menu item to do this is: File > Save as Other > Reader Extended PDF > Enable More Tools
Do this as the last step before you distribute the form. Note that this isn't needed for Reader 11 since it is capable of saving a non-enabled PDF form that was created with Acrobat (as opposed to LiveCycle Designer).

Best workflow for burning Blu-ray and DVD

Hi,
What's the best workflow for effciency sake for burning both a Blu-ray and a DVD of the same project?
Essientially I'd like to export and create a menu once, then be able to downrez to DVD. However, I'm not sure that is possible since blu-ray and DVD are differnt codecs.
Thank you

The only way that you can get acceptable re-scaling of menus is to go from BR to DVD, and do the editing in Photoshop. Simply re-scaling the menu here will not give acceptable results.
I usually copy the various button layers from the BR menu to a new DVD menu file created using the provided Photoshop preset. You will still have to do some manual re-scaling and alignment. The thing that has given me the most trouble over the years is round button highlights - a segment is often chopped off. Font sizes will probably need adjusting too.
Unless you are adept with handling layers and groups within Photoshop, it may be easier to start again.
Any attempt to convert within Encore is unlikely to produce acceptable menus in my experience.

Can I create a project that dynamically pulls in outside content.

I need to create a project that has a block of information
via an image or a html block that can reference information outside
of the project. The idea here is I want to include Images that
drive users to other presentations, but would like to make those
blocks dynamic, such that I can modify the block outside and not
have to edit and re-generate the presentation from
Captivate.

The generic answer to your question is that Captivate does
not have dynamic load capability.
You would need to create that functionality in Flash and
import it into Captivate as an animation. The process is fairly
straightforward and any decent Flash developer could do it for you.
And, as Rick alluded to, Paul Dewhurst is a very decent Flash
developer.
The only really tricky part seems to be making sure the Flash
animation takes into account the internal structure of the
published Captivate project. Published Captivate projects have a
predefined layer order that may affect what you're trying to
do.

Whats the best software for photo editing and creating product catalogues that can be saved as PDF's

Whats the best software for photo editing and creating product catalogues that can be saved as PDF's

You are asking two different questiions:
1. What's a good photo editor? Answer to that here is probably obvious.
2. What's a good desktop publishing/page layout program for creating PDF files for production? Answer, not PSE. It's a photo editor, not a page layout program.

Best workflow for creating logsheets before ingesting.

I'm looking for the best workflow for creating detailed log sheets of my avchd footage before ingesting/transferring it to FCP. I have many hours of footage shot with my Sony NX5U and only want to ingest the necessary clips. I'm using FCP 6.5 on a MacPro tower. Thanks.

>I'm using FCP 6.5
NO you are not. You might be using FCP 6.0.5.
Well, the only way you can ingest only sections of tapeless media is by using Log and Transfer. And you cannot Log clips first, and transfer later. You cannot do the same thing you did with tape, make a Batch Capture list. So you would look at your footage in the FCP L&T interface, and you can send one to be transcoded while you move onto the next one to watch. That can happen at the same time.
But, there's another issue here. The Sony NX5U uses an AVCHD format that is slightly different than normal...not that there is a normal. But I discovered that importing clips up to 10 min in length work fine, but anything over 10 min, and it took 4-5 times longer to import. meaning a 30 min clip took just over two hours. It was something that ClipWrap2 addressed before FCP did...and they only addressed the issue with the FCP 7.0.3 update. FCP 6.0.5...or even the last update for that version, 6.0.6, doesn't address this. There might be issues in importing this footage into FCP 6.
And the other options...Avid Media Composer and Adobe Premiere...don't have a "log and transfer" type interface. They bring in the full clips only. With Premiere, you are stuck with them being full length. But with Avid, you acccess the footage via AMA (Avid Media Access), and then you'd make your selects on a sequence, and then consolidate/transcode only the footage on the sequence.
And no, there's no way to make a logging sheet for these apps either.
The best you can do is watch the footage, note the timecode, and manually enter those numbers when you go to bring in the footage.

Best workflow for creating games for pc and starling games in AIR

best workflow for creating games for pc and starling games in AIR.
I need to develop for tablets with starling and AIR as well as for pc without starling ie: downloading from a server.
In starling you have to
1. instantiate starling
2. use texture atlases for loading graphic assets - well its the recommended way
3. use juggler
etc...
ie: with all these differences is it best to:
1. create completely different projects
2. just create different classes for the starling specific parts
3. use a conditional compile constant
    eg: CONFIG::STARLING
            "then do this"
or      CONFIG::CPU
          "then do this"
I currently have the latter but it feels a little messy. I would prefer separate classes for each platform where the image loading is concerned.
There must be so many game developers out there but in large gaming companies that know exactly what to do. Perhaps you can point me in the right direction with a book or something.
CHEERS

The other thing is that I can't see the games being very different as you suggest. I have downloaded Lee Brimelows tut on creating a starling game on Lynda.com and the code is great for creating games using states for menu, play, gameover etc... The only difference is that he uses texture atlas and there is a great difference in loading them etc... so technically you would only need to handle them in a different class as collision and the rest of game play should be the same in both. I think!!!
Well, actually not exactly but near enough - maybe it might be easier to create separate projects and just cut and paste the new code introduced.

Looking for form filling app that can do this

I am looking for an iPad app that can do this. I know it would need some type of cloud/web based backend to setup and manage but I'm looking for the following:
We are a fire and security company. Many jobs require multiple documents to be created such as a service ticket, alarm activity log and maybe another form. The problem is if the tech needs to fill out the service ticket and activity log, those forms require in many ways the same information such as description of problem and end results and then each form has it's own separate info required. Right now the tech either has to retype all the similar data or try to copy and paste between the different fillable PDF files.
I'm looking for a solution that will allow me to select which forms are needed and then it will populate the required fields to fill in and when complete it will export it to PDF on the appropriate company document templates and allow signatures to be placed before printing via AirPrint and emailing it to customer and our office.
Does anyone know of a solution like this? It is not an easy thing to look for on Google.

Creating a class library in VS2013 that can be referenced by a VB6 application and newer applications

I need to create a class library in VS2013 that can be referenced by a VB6 application and newer applications. I heard something about
COM Interop but have no idea where to start. I am assuming I would develop a class library in VS2013 and then package the assembly for COM. Any good sample projects on this out there?

Hello,
>> Any good sample projects on this out there?
Not suer if you are using C# as the develop language, if it is, i think you would find a lot of articles about this topic with your favorite search engine, here are some related links:

How to create a vi that can be connected to any type of array

I would enjoy to create a vi that can perform an operation (like resizing) on any type of array (array of string, of cluster, of num,...): Which type of control or indicator could I use for this purpose? Any Idea?
Thank's for your help

Olivier,
to do this you have to use a variant input. You can wire any type of data to a variant input. Inside the VI you flatten the variant to a string. The flattened string of an array contains both data and length of the array. You reshape the array manipulating the string. When done, you unflatten the data to a variant and output it from the VI. The caller has to convert the variant input to the source array type. OpenG.org provides a quite extensive toolkit to manipulate variant data. Some VIs specifically manipulates arrays. To see a description of VIs go to : http://opengtoolkit.sourceforge.net/lvdata/index.html
LabVIEW Data Tools can be downloaded from http://sourceforge.net/projects/opengtoolkit/
You need both packages lvdata AND error.

I am looking for a good app that can help a college student with reading books that cannot be found on audio book. I have tried voice over and it works but it's very monotone and it really strings things together.
- I'm willing to pay for a good app but I can't seem to sort though the many that are out there. Any suggestions.

Ah. I'm surprised, but there we go.

Didn't have time to do more than skim, but 'Ardour' looked promising. Protools is the only one I've used, the full product is one of the industry standards, but the free 'lite' version listed here seems to be limited to 2 in/out as well.
Referring to your original post, I'd think trying to write or 'script' something would be a nightmare ... synchronisation of streams within something like Applescript would be a major issue, quite apart from anything else.
