1080i to 720p via After Effects Best Practice?

Hi, I have some footage which was shot at 1080i, the required output is going to be 720p. The problem is that I would like to use some of the extra frame to reframe some of the shots and as there were two camera's used, the colour varies, so I will also need to fix that.
My initial plan was to cut the sequence in Premiere using a 1080i preset then DL the sequence from within After Effects using a 720p composition. From here I can do the reframing and colour work. However will this take care of deinterlacing? Or does anyone know of a better workflow to get the results I need?
Cheers

Just to update this incase somebody else finds it useful, decided I would have to spend some time testing the best route before actually starting the project.
So the source footage was shot @ 1080 50i AVCHD (Cannon Legria HF21 and Panasonic HDC-HS700). The desired outcome of the footage is web distribution, so mp4 @ 720p 25fps.
During editing I really wanted to re-frame some of the shots and also give some motion to some i.e. slow panning. On top of that the two cameras used, always seem to give different colours in post - no matter how much you try to match the LCD display's during the actual shoot.
Ok so the problem I initally encountered was with jaggered edges when deinterlacing (can't afford any third pary plugin's at the moment).
So that's the background - I tried a couple of different routes, however the best way I have found is to edit the footage in Premiere using the default 1080i AVCHD preset, keeping the Cannon footage on video 1 and the Panasonic footage on video 2. Once all the editing is done, duplicate the sequence and in one enable video 1 and in the other enable video 2.
Then jump into After Effects use dynamic link to open the the two sequences - here I open the interpret footage settings and make sure that the field order is set correctly and that 'Preserve Edges' is ticked.
I then created a new composition with 720p settings and put the the two Premiere sequences in it. Then it is just a case of using keyframes to reframe the footage. Also it allows for applying different colour correction to the footage shot on each camera.
I also found that this process decreases the jagged edges found going from interlace to progressive.
Hope that helps someone, or someone can tell me I am going the long way round

Is Motion or After Effects best for animation of High res. photographs

Hi everyone. I’m a novice when it comes to Motion, having worked more with FCP, and I am encountering some confusing differences!
I’m making an animation from a high res. Scanned ‘photograph’ of a flower, and I hope to maintain the great image quality, plus working with a short sound file (breathing) as a guide for the movement. (The final output is going to be large scale projection using a HD projector, which I understand is 1920 x 1080, with smaller versions for pre-view purposes.)
The move to Motion from FCP has phased me (co-decs, pre-sets etc.. so many options) I could re-size it to suit, DV, HD or most of the ‘sizes’ supported by Motion but I’m lost as to which settings would be best for my purposes.
I have done various tests with different pre-sets and have found that the longer and more complex the animation gets, the more jittery the playback is. I am wondering if there is a way I can work with Motion that resolves the the perforamnce thing, or if what I am doing ( length and size of animation) would be more suited to After Effects.
I love Motion, esp. the language used in the manual and would prefer to stay with it.
Thanking you all. I really want to understand this whole ‘video’ to ‘still-image’ move I’m making.

First of all, you could do your video in either program and would likely get similar results (depending on your relative skill in each program). There's certainly no reason not to stay in Motion if you're happy with the interface. After Effects has just as many confusing settings as Motion when it comes to output so you're probably not going to feel any better there.
Considering your output, I would start your project with the Broadcast HD preset. That will give you the 1920x1080 frame size which should look great on your projected screen. I would tend always to work in an HD framework when working with stills since typically they'll be of high quality.
Make sure your stills are prepped properly for video (which is different from how they would be scanned for print work). Scan them in at a good size resolution 2500 px along the longest side at 72 dpi (high dpi is not necessary for video work). Also, use uncompressed pic formats like TGA, TIF, or PSD.
You didn't mention how long the sequence was, and length does make a difference at times because Motion is run primarily through the graphics card as opposed to the processor. This is a primary difference between Motion and AE.
When you are talking about jittery playback, keep in mind that it's the gfx card that is providing the "real-time" playback to begin with. So the larger the project, the less likely that the card is going to be able to play back in real-time. If timing is an issue you can change the view to draft (default is normal), or you can do a RAM preview (CMD+R). AE has NO real-time playback without a RAM preview, so keep that in mind.
One more thing. There are several ways to do the same thing in Motion. Some of them put more pressure on the card than others. Keep your project as simplified as you can while working, and turn off things like thumbnails and previews to speed up performance.
Good luck,
Andy

After Vcenter best practice documentation - running as a VM

Hi there,
We are currently running our vcenter as a physical machine. A few weeks back I saw something on twitter saying vmware had changed their best practice to recommend running vcenter as a virtual machine. We are looking into this as a way of running one less physical server.
Can anyone point me in the direction of any (revised) good practice documentation from vmware?

here's a couple things as well
http://www.vmware.com/pdf/vsphere4/r40_u1/vsp_40_u1_esx_vc_installation_guide.pdf
Although a little dated, it still applies
http://www.vmware.com/pdf/vi3_vc_in_vm.pdf
I would also consider setting your restart priority to HIGH for your vCenter VM. If you run your vCenter DB instance on a VM, I would also consider setting us a DRS rule to keep them together for better performance, as well as setting a HIGH restart priority for your VCDB

sorry My bad english

Yea, I guess Unix and Linux...I guess it was made for those OS's...I really went out of my way to do my homework on this as far as being a good free tool to use...I don't understand why it didn't come with an uninstaller for Windows...I understand it's free and all...but I feel that as an author/creator there should be some kind of documentation to let users know that certain things take place differently for other OS's it was intentionally meant for. I am in negative state of mind right now because I had to go through the process of reinstalling so many programs back to my computer (Internet Explorer, Music Programs, Photoshop, PreE 8, Zips Opener, etc, etc, etc. to many programs to list which it rendered unusable.
As far as going back to restore point...that was a big mistake on my part...a while back I caught one of those free Anitvirus 2010 program auto installers from visiting a website and it was a nightmare trying to get rid of it and one of the procedures to remove it was to turn off restore point, well I forgot to turn it back on after I removed it off my comp.

Best Practices for Connecting to WebHelp via an application?

Greetings,
My first post on these forums, so I appologize if this has already been covered (I've done some limited searching w/o success). I'm developing a .Net application which is accessing my orginazation's RoboHelp-generated webhelp. My organization's RoboHelp documentation team is still new with the software and so it's been up to me to chart the course for establishing the workflow for connecting to the help from the application. I've read up on Peter Grange's 'calling webhelp' section off his blog, but I'm still a bit unclear about what might be the best practices approach for connecting to webhelp.
To date, my org. has been delayed in letting me know their TopicIDs or MapIDs for their various documented topics. However, I have been able to acquire the relative paths to those topics (I achieved this by manually browsing their online help and extracting out the paths). And I've been able to use the strategy of creating the link via constructing a URL (following the strategy of using the following syntax: "<root URL>?#<relative URI path>" alternating with "<root URL>??#<relative URI path>"). It strikes me, however, that this approach is somewhat of a hack - since RoboHelp provides other approaches to linking to their documentation via TopicID and MapID.
What is the recommended/best-practices approach here? Are they all equally valid or are there pitfalls I'm missing. I'm inclined to use the URI methodology that I've established above since it works for my needs so far, but I'm worried that I'm not seeing the forest for the trees...
Regards,
Brett

PS: we're using RoboHelp 9.0

I've been giving this some thought over the weekend and this is the best answer I've come up with from a developer's perspective:
(1) Connecting via URL is convenient if (#1) you have an established naming convention that works for everyone (as Peter mentioned in his reply above)
(2) Connecting via URL has the disadvantage that changes to the file names and/or folder structure by the author will break connectivity
(3) Connecting via TopicID/MapID has the advantage that if there is no naming convention or if it's fluid or under construction, the author can maintain that ID after making changes to his/her file or folder structure and still maintain the application connectivity. Another approach to solving this problem if you're working with URLs would be to set up a web service that would match file addresses to some identifier utilized by the developer (basically a TopicID/MapID coming from the other direction).
(4) Connecting via TopicID has an aesthetic appeal in the code since it's easy to provide a more english-readable identifier. As a .Net developer, I find it easy and convenient to construct an enum that matches my TopicIDs and to utilize that enum to construct my identifier when it comes time to make the documentation call.
(5) Connecting via URL is more convenient for the author, since he/she doesn't have to worry about maintaining IDs
(6) Connecting via TopicIDs/MapIDs forces the author to maintain those IDs and allows the documentation to be more easily used into the future by other applications worked by developers who might have their own preference in one direction or another as to how they make their connection.
Hope that helps for posterity. I'd be interested if anyone else had thoughts to add.

Best practice to restart weblogic and managed servers after changing pass

hi
i need to know if have an installation with the following structer what is the best practice to restart the servers after we change weblogic password ?and i know that i should change boot.properties with the new password ,is there anything else to change ? please advise .
oracle access manager &oid (dose it affected by weblogic password change ?)
thank you
Edited by: hsweiss on Jul 31, 2012 10:45 AM

the order is to restart:All managed servers and followed by Admin server
If your weblogic server is integrated with oid, you need to change the credentilas in both the places ie weblogic server(boot.properties) and idm server
if your weblogic server is using your internal ldap for the authentication, your idm and oam wil not effect with this change
if you change the boot.properties file that is enough, you don't need to change anywhere

Audio is missing when I export longer mp4s from After Effects File via AME. Can you help?

I’m using After Effects to colour correct and add some titles to long .mov files. (typically 45 mins to 1.5 hours in length).
I am then rendering out to the Vimeo 720 25 preset (.mp4s with h.264) using AME.
The problem occurs when I try to render out larger compositions (anything over an hour).
I start to get audio issues, such as no audio, glitchy audio or audio that only starts after 40 minutes for example.
The shorter compositions work fine. And RAM previews always work fine.
(I’m using Creative Cloud on an iMac running Mountain Lion.)
Has anybody experienced this bug, or know a way to fix it?
Thanks

Hi,
I tried to reproduce this issue by adding a shape and a table in Publisher, export it as an index.htm file, copy and paste the HTML code which in the <head>
tag and <body> tag only.
It turns out that the original design is gone.
When digging into the HTML code, I found that the HTML code from Publisher might not be compatible with SharePoint page.
For example, a shape which is added in Publisher, the corresponding HTML code would be something like:
<span style='
width:228px;height:231px'><img alt="shape here" width=228 height=231
src="index_files/image296.png" v:shapes="_x0000_s1026"></span>
We can see that, the value “src” attribute of the <img> tag represents a relative path which can’t be found in the existing SharePoint site structure, it means
that the shape will not appear in SharePoint page.
In Publisher:
In SharePoint page:
As a common practice, I would suggest you create a new HTML file using Visual Studio or SharePoint Designer and examine the design in browser during the development,
it would be easier to compose a valid and browser-compatible HTML file.

I've exported my pages graphics document as a PDF file and can't seem to reduce the file size without compromising the quality of the photo's used even after choosing "best" quality. I'm trying to send the file via e-mail but it's too big. ??????

I am trying to e-mail a graphics pages document I made as a PDF file. After trying to resize the file, the photo's quality is compromised (really blurry) even after choosing "Best" quality. What am I doing wrong. As a regular full sized file (PDF) it's fine, but when it gets reduced, it's bad and it needs to get printed from the e-mail copy I'm trying to send. HELP! Please.

If there are a lot and/or large images the file will inevitably be large, no matter what.
You can reduce them down as far as possible by cropping and scaling them to the final size before creating the pdf. You can do this by opening the images in Preview .app and using Menu > Tools to reduce the resolution and to crop.
If you have used transparency effects eg shadow, reflection, transparency, 3D charts, OSX will by default render these at 72dpi in the pdf.

Best practice "changing several related objects via BDT" (Business Data Toolset) / Mehrere verbundene Objekte per BDT ändern

Hallo,
I want to start a
discussion, to find a best practice method to change several related master
data objects via BDT. At the moment we are faced with miscellaneous requirements,
where we have a master data object which uses BDT framework for maintenance (in
our case an insured objects). While changing or creating the insured objects a
several related objects e.g. Business Partner should also be changed or
created. So am searching for a best practices approach how to implement such a
solution.
One Idea was to so call a
report via SUBMIT AND RETURN in Event DSAVC or DSAVE. Unfortunately this implementation
method has only poor options to handle errors. Second it is also hard to keep LUW
together.
Another idea is to call an additional
BDT instance in the DCHCK-event via FM BDT_INSTANCE_SELECT and the parameters
iv_xpush_classic = ‘X’ and iv_xpop_classic = ‘X’. At this time we didn’t get
this solution working correctly, because there is always something missing
(e.g. global memory is not transferred correctly between the two BDT instances).
So hopefully you can report
about your implementations to find a best practice approach for facing such
requirements.
Hallo
ich möchte an der Stelle eine Diskussion starten um einen Best Practice
Ansatz zu finden, der eine BDT Implementierung/Erweiterung beschreibt, bei der
verschiedene abhängige BDT-Objekte geändert werden. Momentan treffen bei uns
mehrere Anforderungen an, bei deinen Änderungen eines BDT Objektes an ein
anderes BDT Objekte vererbt werden sollen. Sprich es sollen weitere Objekte geänderte
werden, wenn ein Objekt (in unserem Fall ein Versicherungsvertrag) angelegt
oder geändert wird (zum Beispiel ein Geschäftspartner)
Die erste unserer Ideen war es, im Zeitpunkt DSAVC oder DSAVE einen
Report per SUBMIT AND RETURN aufzurufen. Dieser sollte dann die abhängigen Änderungen
durchführen. Allerdings gibt es hier Probleme mit der Fehlerbehandlung, da
diese asynchrone stattfinden muss. Weiterhin ist es auch schwer die Konsistenz der
LUW zu garantieren.
Ein anderer Ansatz den wir verfolgt hatten, war im Zeitpunkt
DCHCK per FuBA BDT_INSTANCE_SELECT und den Parameter iv_xpush_classic = ‘X’ and
iv_xpop_classic = ‘X’ eine neue BDT Instanz zu erzeugen. Leider konnten wir diese
Lösung nicht endgültig zum Laufen bekommen, da es immer Probleme beim
Übertragen der globalen Speicher der einzelnen BDT Instanzen gab.
Ich hoffe Ihr könnt hier eure Implementierungen kurz beschreiben, dass wir
eine Best Practice Ansatz für das Thema finden können

Direct access to document image via webservice - best practice?

Howdy,
   Rookie "Post-er".... be gentle. I've searched and I've read... didn't find this. I've not taken training. I may be way off base.
We have multiple manufacturing sites around the world with local Operator Qualification appls that want to access the enterprise SAP DMS mfg document images (stop dual maint - enterprise & local).... without dependency on SAP ECC being up. If we can pass them DMS meta-data via near-realtime msgs (including the document image access "key" data); then we would assume they can direclty access KPRO for the document image as needed.
Would this be considered a "best practice"?   Webservice controlled (access only from known source).
Is PHIO-ID the only dynamic variable needed (based on info below I found in WIKI)?
*Alternatively, the url as below can be used to retrieve the documents from the content server[*http://<Server_Name>:<Port_No>/archive.dll?get&pVersion=<Version_No>&contRep=<Content_Rep>&docId=<PHIO_ID|http://<Server_Name>:<Port_No>/archive.dll?get&pVersion=<Version_No>&contRep=<Content_Rep>&docId=<PHIO_ID|\||]>
            <Server_Name> = Content server (IP address or name of content server)
            <Port_No> = Port No. of the server
            <Version_No> = Version No of content server (Transaction OACT)
            <Content_Rep> = content category of the server (Transaction OAC0)
            <PHIO_ID> = PHIO Id derived for each upload method

Hello,
This reply posted to help others who may refer this in the future.
As Amit Maheshwari mentioned, it is possible to give access to a document stored in the Content Server even when the partner system(ECC) is down.
As per your requirement, you want to access documents when the ECC System is down, but the content server is up and running.
The following steps can be of help to you:
1 - Create a program, that will create URL for the documents stored in the content server and send the URL to the external system.(Refer: FM- SDOK_PHIO_GET_URL_FOR_GET)
The URL refers to the public IP of the Internet Server on which the content server is hosted on.
2 - With this URL and few configurations on the Content Server (to allow access from external systems) you can fetch the file from the content server to the external system. Access privileges may vary based on your security settings.
Note: Since the ECC system will be down, creating URL for all the documents can be a bottleneck.
Probable Solution: While adding a document to the ECC system, the respective URL can be created and transferred to the external system along with the master details and stored there.
This can be undertaken if it is really important for the business, as it will increase the load for the external system. The solution can be modified based on the business requirement.
Thank you,

Need best practice when accessing an ucm content after being transferred.

Hi All,
I have a business requirement where I need to auto-transfer the content to another UCM when this content expires in the source UCM.
This content needs to be deleted after it spends a certain duration in the target UCM.
Can anybody advise me the best practice to do this in the Oracle UCM?
I have set up an expiration date and trying to auto Replicate the content to the target UCM once the content reaches the expiration date.
I am not aware of the best practice to access the content when it is in the target UCM?
Any help in this case would be greatly appreciated.
Regards,
Ashwin

SR,
Unfortunately temp tables are the way to go. In Apex we call them collections (not the same as PL/SQL collections) and there's an API for working with them. In other words, the majority of the leg work has already been done for you. You don't have to create the tables or worry about tying data to different sessions. Start you learning here:

Best practice for customizing EJB property after deployment

Hi Gurus,
What is the best practice for customizing EJB property after deployment in NW7.1? I have a stateless session bean and it needs to get some environment information before acting. While the information can only be known at runtime. What should I do to achieve it? I thought I can bind the property with a JNDI context but I did not find out where to declare and change the context value. Please advise. Thanks.
B.R.

Hi.
I have a similar problem. But I still can not edit the properties of the ejb-jar.xml.
I tried to stop the web service, but the properties still remain unmodifiable.
Could you advise me how to change them?
