A question about Frame Rate in FCPX and Motion 5

I use a Canon Legria HV40 shooting at a frame rate of 25fps
Is it essential to set the frame rate in Final Cut Pro X and Motion 5 to 25fps as well?
The reason I'm asking this is that I recently put together a series of clips shot with the HV40 in a FCPX project with the default settings of 60fps and it didn't seem to matter - everything worked as expected..

FCPX automatically 'confirms' any clip rate to the Projects settings.
But ... more rendering to do (=time), 'un-eveness' could lead to blur/quality loss (=how do you divide 25 frames over 60 equally?) ...
Best practice is: cam, project, delivery = same frame-rate.
Exception: for nice slow-mo: HFR on cam, low fps on Project ....

Question about frame rates in Flash

If I create a Flash animation using 12 frames per second set in the Flash properties and I then export the timeline as a quicktime movie at PAL settings (25 frames per second) so that I can use it in a Premiere Pro timeline with other PAL video clips shot with a camcorder, does that affect the speed at which the original Flash timeline will play when converted to a quicktime movie?
I don't want to have to animate the Flash clip at 25 frames per second in Flash because it requires about twice as much drawing, but I also want to preserve whatever sense of action timing there is in the Flash action and not have it play too fast or too slow when incorporated into a video project.
Thanks for any advice on how best to do this.

For what you show so far, you can probably create it all in Flash without concern for slicing and whatnot.. For starters....
First create the buttons... select Insert -> New Symbol -> Button. Buttons have 3 visual frames... one for Up, one for Over, and one for Down. The 4th frame is useful for defining a larger Hit area for small items. So create a new button symbol and draw the different views you want for the button. When you are done you should be able to make the button work visually without the need for any code. You will want to add code to control the feature displays.

Questions about final cut studio 7 and motion 5

Hello!
I have two questions:
1. How do I find all the updates to the final cut studio? Last came out before the final cut pro x came out.
2. Works Motion 5 good up to final cut pro 7? Will there by any problem to use both prorammene against each other? And if so, what kind of problem can arise?
I would be grateful if someone could tell me this because I had settings alert Motion 4 (which now crashes at startup). And considering buying Motion 5 for I will not have to be automatically installed again my whole system that works one hundred percent. The job I would rather not do.
I'm not so good English so I hope you understand what I mean.
Can any help me for this little crisis I have a lot of work left and wait. :-(

This I have done to run instaleringen the entire final cut studio re-enter. Ran software product update. Have checked the final cut pro and then I have version 7 and version7.0.3 as I had before.
Before this, I have thrown the preference files for Motion 4, but disk utility to repair permissions on the system drive, I have not used.
But how can a fjærne entire final cut studio package also put it in again so we have aclean new installation of the programs?
How can we explain that this has happened? Just what I do not understand.
Are happy for all the tips I get. For I dread to put reindeer speakers the whole thing sinceit worked so well as it did before this happened.
Thanks to all who will help me. I will be very happy if this can be solved in an easymanner without having to spend a whole day on automatically installed everythingagain.

Basic questions about Exchange Rate Differences

Hi Experts?
I have few questions about exchange rates:
1. Currently in 2007, under what circumstances are exchange rate differences not posted automatically? In the previous version, it was this case when invoices are linked to payment, and manual exchage rate differences had to be run.
2. What are unrealized exchange rates? and When do unrealized exchange rates occurs?
3. In account oo logical pinciples, why is there a need to auto reverse Exchange rate differences or Conversion rate differences during the opening of a new posting period??
Much Thanks!
Warmest Regards,
Chinho

Hi Chinho,

As a rule, in version 2007 it's the unrealised exchange rate differences on the BP side that are relevant since with the introduction of the unified internal reconciliation engine realised partial exchange rate differences are automatically posted. You also use the functionality to post exchange rate differences for FC GL accounts at a particular execution day.

Here's a very basic question about 2 TB external drives and Time Machine.

Here's a very basic question about 2 TB external drives and Time Machine.
Ihave a Mac Pro with a .75 TB and 1 TB drive. It also has a 1 TB 2ndinternal drive. My current external drive is too small so I'll begetting a 1.5 TB or 2 TB drive.
Obviouslythe new larger 2 TB drive will backup everything on the Mac Prointernal drive with Time Machine. But there will be 1 TB of space leftover going to waste.
ShouldI partition the external drive so that the TM portion will be 1 TB andthe use the remaining extra partition for additional file backups withCarbon Copy?
Thanks for any insights.
I tried searching around on the new Apple discussion forum, but I find it much harder to use than the old forum I used to use.

The problem with terabyte drives is that that a 3 TB is about as big as you can get without going into RAID territory. Ideally, a Time Machine drive should be 3 times as large as all the drives you are backing up. So, if you have 2.75 TB of internal storage, you should have 8 TB of Time Machine space.
Of course, that is "should". If your TB drives are mostly empty, then you can get away with something 3 times the size of your used disk space. Just remember that you are pushing it. Linc is right about Time Machine needing space to work.
It is unlikely that you have regular churn on 2.75 TB of disk. I suggest identifying which drives and folders have the most activity and excluding those drives and directories that don't change much. It would be better to archive the data that doesn't change often and keep it out of Time Machine. Then you may be able to get away with a 2 TB Time Machine drive.

John,
I'm not sure why you posted in the iMac forum so I'm going to attempt to get you to the correct spot. I would recommend reposting in the Time Machine Forum, this is part of the OS X forums (Leopard or Snow Leopard) because you are using Snow Leopard (your profile indicates you are) please click Apple Support Communities and type Snow Leopard. Then you can narrow the search down by clicking Refine this List.

2 questions - one about Frame Rates, the other about Rendering

These are two areas I need to learn more about.
Any answers to my 2 specific questions below would be appreciated, but also, I need to gain a deeper understanding of these 2 areas, so if you have any recommendations on how/where to learn more, I'd appreciate that, as well.
1. I'm trying to copy a tape from an older 8mm Sony Handycam to my Canon XL-1 mini-DV, in order to be able to import the footage into FCP, however, it comes out all messed up, skipping and jumping in a way that makes me think the frame rate of the two cameras is not in sync. I don't know of a way to change, or even to confirm, the frame rate of either one of these cameras and have found nothing online. Yet, I was able to successfully copy a tape a few years ago, with the same equipment I'm using now, so I'm thinking maybe the frame rate was changed on one of these??? I don't know.
2. I've never really understood rendering - why some clips require it while others do not. The latest example was with footage from my Canon and a different (newer) Sony DCR-SR68. Because the format of this Sony is wider than that of the Canon, I shot it knowing that I'd be cropping off some of the left and right of the frame. So, in FCP, when I click and drag the corner of the wireframe in the canvas to make the Sony footage fill the square, it needs to be rendered in the Timeline. However, if I do the same with the Canon footage, it does not require rendering. I'm trying to understand why. If it makes a difference, the Canon footage was imported directly from the camera, whereas the Sony footage needed to be first imported into iMovie and saved as an MPEG before being imported into FCP.
Thanks a lot.

Hi Mr. Chappell,
Many older tapes have sat on shelves etc. for many years, It is
a good idea to,
First make sure your 8mm is mechanically sound, throw in a blank or
unimportant tape and make sure it will play etc. without causing any
phisical damage to the tape.
Then put in a tape to transfer and Fast forward to the end and then rewind
to the begginning, this will re-pack/tension the tape.
then play the tape back briefly while looking thru the viewfinder or monitoring
with a tv, hopefully all looks well.
then connect and transfer to the mini-dv (best to use a tbc, but should work
without)then playback the DV tape briefly, again, with either viewfinder or TV,
if all looks good you should have no problems unless they are related
to capture settings (they should match the DV cameras video and audio sampling
rate, check for 32K).
Hope this helps,

FCPX Mixed Frame Rates? 30fps AND 24fps in same project?

Just got done doing a multicam shoot for a large event where I had multiple people helping me out. We all shot at 1080p on a variety of Canon DSLR cameras and a Go Pro and a MiniDV Consumer Cam. I thought everyone got the memo to shoot at 30fps, and most everyone did, however one of my Canon cameras shot at 24fps. I know I've heard in the past mixing frame rates can cause issue in other programs, and I know FCPX can handle multiple frame rates, but what sort of trouble am I in for if I want to use footage from cameras using 30fps and a camera using 24fps in the same final product? Is the 24fps stuff going to choppy or weird if I use it in a 30fps sequence/project? My final deliverable at this point can be 30fps or 24fps, it is not stated and I want to make sure evrything looks good so what should I set my project settings for? Any ideas?

Ah - no - conforming simply resets the frame rate information. You should re-conform it back to 29.97...
Here's what I think you'll need to do. If the majority of your material is at 23.98, make your main sequence that. Cut everything at that 23.98 - you'll have to render any 29.97 material then, but when you've locked picture, look at the sections with 29.97 stuff and if it looks okay, just skip to making the DVD. If it doesn't, you'll have to insert a pulldown by exporting your sequence then bringing the quicktime back in, adding a pulldown with Shake ($500) or Nattress frame rate converter ($99) - OR try this - edit it to tape and a pulldown will be inserted, then recapture.
Once you have a 29.97 version of your clip, cut it into a 29.97 sequence and re-cut in the 29.97 material (now you won't need to render). Then export for your DVD.
Now - after all this, are you sure that your 30fps material is NOT 29.97 with a pulldown? Did you check this yet?

I have a question about Data Rates.

Hello All.
This is a bit of a noob question I'm sure. I don't think I really understand Data Rates and how it applies to Motion... therefore I'm not even sure what kind of questions to ask. I've been reading up online and thought I would ask some questions here. Thanks to all in advance.
I've never really worried about Data Rates until now. I am creating an Apple Motion piece with about 15 different video clips in it. And 1/2 of them have alpha channels.
What exactly is Data Rate? Is it the rate in which video clip data is read (in bits/second) from the Disc and placed into my screen? In Motion- is the Data Rate for video only? What if the clip has audio? If a HDD is simply a plastic disc with a dye read by "1" laser... how come my computer can pull "2" files off the disc at the same time? Is that what data transfer is all about? Is that were RAM comes into play?
I have crunched my clips as much as I can. They are short clips (10-15seconds each). I've compressed them with the Animation codec to preserve the Alpha channel and sized them proportionally smaller (320x240). This dropped their data rate significantly. I've also taken out any audio that was associated with them.
Is data rate what is slowing my system down?
The data rates are all under 2MBs. Some are as low as 230Kbs. They were MUCH higher. However, my animation still plays VERY slowly.
I'm running a 3GigRam Powerbook Pro 2.33GHz.
I store all my media on a 1TB GRaid Firewire 800 drive. However for portability I'm using a USB 2 smartdisk external drive. I think the speed is 5200rpm.
I'm guessing this all plays into the speed at which motion can function.
If I total my data rate transfer I get somewhere in the vicinity of 11MBs/second. Is that what motion needs for it to play smoothly a 11MBs/second data connection? USB 2.0 is like what 480Mbs/second. So there is no way it's going to play quickly. What if I played it from my hard drive? What is the data rate of my internal HDD?
I guess my overall question is.
#1. Is my thinking correct on all of these topics? Do my bits, bytes and megs make sense. Is my thought process correct?
#2. Barring getting a new machine or buying new hardware. What can I do to speed up this workflow? Working with 15 different video clips is bogging Motion down and becoming frustrating to work with. Even if only 3-4 of the clips are up at a time it bogs things down. Especially if I throw on a glow effect or something.
Any help is greatly appreciated.
-Fraky

Data rate DOES make a difference, but I'd say your real problem has more to do with the fact that you're working on a Powerbook. Motion's real time capabilities derive from the capability of the video card. Not the processor. Some cards do better than others, but laptops are not even recommended for running Motion.
To improve your workflow on a laptop will be limited, but there are a few things that you can try.
Make sure that thumbnails and previews are turned off.
Make sure that you are operating in Draft Mode.
Lower the display resolution to half, or quarter.
Don't expect to be getting real time playback. Treat it more like After Effects.
Compressing your clips into smaller Animations does help because it lowers the data rate, but you're still dealing with the animation codec which is a high data rate codec. Unfortunately, it sounds necessary in your case because you're dealing with alpha channels.
The data rate comes into play with your setup trying to play through your USB drive. USB drives are never recommended for editing or Motion work. Their throughput is not consistent enough for video work. a small FW drive would be better, though your real problem as I said is the Powerbook.
If you must work on the powerbook, then don't expect real-time playback. Instead, build your animation, step through it, and do RAM previews to view sections in real time.
I hope this helps.

Some questions about the integration between BIEE and EBS

Hi, dear,
I'm a new bie of BIEE. In these days, have a look about BIEE architecture and the BIEE components. In the next project, there are some work about BIEE development based on EBS application. I have some questions about the integration :
1) generally, is the BIEE database and application server decentralized with EBS database and application? Both BIEE 10g and 11g version can be integrated with EBS R12?
2) In BIEE administrator tool, the first step is to create physical tables. if the source appliation is EBS, is it still needed to create the physical tables?
3) if the physical tables creation is needed, how to complete the data transfer from the EBS source tables to BIEE physical tables? which ETL tool is prefer for most developers? warehouse builder or Oracle Data Integration?
4) During data transfer phase, if there are many many large volume data needs to transfer, how to keep the completeness? for example, it needs to transfer 1 million rows from source database to BIEE physical tables, when 50%is completed, the users try to open the BIEE report, can they see the new 50% data on the reports? is there some transaction control in ETL phase?
could anyone give some guide for me? I'm very appreciated if you can also give any other information.
Thanks in advance.

1) generally, is the BIEE database and application server decentralized with EBS database and application? Both BIEE 10g and 11g version can be integrated with EBS R12?You, shud consider OBI Application here which uses OBIEE as a reporting tool with different pre-built modules. Both 10g & 11g comes with different versions of BI apps which supports sources like Siebel CRM, EBS, Peoplesoft, JD Edwards etc..
2) In BIEE administrator tool, the first step is to create physical tables. if the source appliation is EBS, is it still needed to create the physical tables?Its independent of any soure. This is OBIEE modeling to create RPD with all the layers. If you build it from scratch then you will require to create all the layers else if BI Apps is used then you will get pre-built RPD along with other pre-built components.
3) if the physical tables creation is needed, how to complete the data transfer from the EBS source tables to BIEE physical tables? which ETL tool is prefer for most developers? warehouse builder or Oracle Data Integration?BI apps comes with pre-built ETL mapping to use with the tools majorly with Informatica. Only BI Apps 7.9.5.2 comes with ODI but oracle has plans to have only ODI for any further releases.
4) During data transfer phase, if there are many many large volume data needs to transfer, how to keep the completeness? for example, it needs to transfer 1 million rows from source database to BIEE physical tables, when 50%is completed, the users try to open the BIEE report, can they see the new 50% data on the reports? is there some transaction control in ETL phase?User will still see old data because its good to turn on Cache and purge it after every load.

Questions about CIN tax procedure choice and pricing schemas

Hi all,
I have to implement SAP on a Indian company and I'm verifying all particularity about this country (in particular tax procedures and the great number of differents tax conditions used).
I have two questions about tax procedures and pricing schemas. Every feedback about thse points will be appreciated.
a) To choose tax procedure TAXINN or TAXINJ which are the elements that I have to consider?
I have read lot of documentation about CIN implementation and Iu2019m oriented to choose TAXINN schema, but If possible I would to understand better which are on behalf of one choice or another.
b) To define pricing schemas for India, after check with local users and using examples of documents (in particular tax invoice) actually produced, I have understood that taxes have to be applied on amount defined starting from price list, minus discounts recognized to customer plus surcharges eventually to bill (packing, transport, etc.).
Itu2019s correct for any type of taxes that tax amount is calculated on u201Cnet valueu201D defined at item level or there are exceptions to this rule?
Thanks in advance
Gianpaolo

hi,
this is to inform you that,
a) About point 1 I know the difference between the 2 tax procedures (conditions or formulas). I also have read in others post in the FORUM that TAXINN is preferable. So I would to understand which are the advantages to choose instead TAXINJ. There are particular reasons or it'a only an alternative customizing setting?
a.a. for give for posting the link : plese give me the advantages of TAXINJ and TAXINN
CIN - TAXINN and TAXINJ
b) About point 2, to define which value has to be used as base amount to calculate taxes isn't a choice, but is defined depending by fiscal requirement of the country, in this case India fiscal requirement. I know that, as Lakshmipathi
write as answer on my question, exception could be, but it was important for me to understand if I have understood correctly the sequence of the pricing condition in the schema in "normal" situation.
b.b. you can create your own pricing procedure for this and go ahead.
hope this clears your issue.

Question about the notification center (Mails and Reminders)

Hello together,
I just started using Mountain Lion and now I have some few questions about the notification center.
1. Is it possible to show all reminds in the notification center? I have a lot of reminds without an date / time and they don't appear in the notification center.
2. Is it possible to show the last five Mails in the notification center? I'm just seeing new incoming mails, but I would prefer it, if I could see the last five mails
     (no matter if readed or unreaded).
Thank you very much for you help.

Only reminders with dates appear in the notification center - undated ones don't. Once an email has been read, it is removed from the notification center. Apple has a feedback center where you can offer suggestions.

A few question about iPhone OS in CS5 and CS5 in general.

Hi,
I'm an IT trainer and I am trying to introduce my students to programming for iPhone/iPod Touch. (They are Secondary 2 students. 14 years old) The school is using a windows computer and CS5 right now is the best for the class (Not a steep learning curve and a user-friendly program). I know about the problems over the iPhone OS in CS5 with Apple but I was told it is still available for use. Furthermore, we have no intention of bringing the apps created to the Apple Store. I've tried the trial version and before I make any purchase, I would actually like to ask a few questions.
Is the iPhone OS in the trial version itself complete? Is there anything left out from the trial version because when I tried it, it seems fine however I did not try publishing to an iPhone due to the certificates. Is there a reason for the certificate? Is there any way around it because if there isn't do I need to get a certificate for every single student? (I'm looking at a class of 40 students.) Is the certificate available for windows platform?
Lets say, I got myself a certificate, create a simple program and then publish it, can I immediately bring it over to iTunes and then sync? Will it work that way? I don't want it to be too tedious for the students to see the end result. I've done quite a few research and have come across people having problems bringing it into their devices. Those people mention about bringing it to Cydia and needing to jailbreak the device. The devices made available for the students are not jailbroken. Will iPhone OS with proper certification still need Cydia for use with their device? Will only jailbroken device allow a CS5 app? I hope you get what I'm trying to say. We as trainers do not support teaching students to jailbreak, so that's definitely a no-no.
Another thing about CS5. Previously I have called customer support about the CS4 the school is using now and the problem with nested animation when publishing the animation as a video file, is this problem still in CS5? Does CS5 allow nested animation to be published as a video file? If it isn't, is there any way around it?
Thank you for your time and patience in answering my questions.

Some questions about javacard 2.1.1 and smartcardio

3.) Another problem is that i am not able to send the modulus of a public key from the host applikation to the smard card
new CommandAPDU((byte) 0xb0, (byte) 0x20, (byte) 0x01, (byte) 0x00, modulus.toByteArray()); // create the apdu
// the method in the applet
private void setServerKeyMod(APDU apdu) {
        byte[] buffer = apdu.getBuffer();
        try {
            byte byteRead = (byte) (apdu.setIncomingAndReceive());
            short off = ISO7816.OFFSET_CDATA;
            // strip of any integer padding
            if (buffer[off] == 0) {
                off++;
                byteRead--;
            publicKeyServer.setModulus(buffer, off, byteRead);
        } catch (APDUException ex) {
            ISOException.throwIt((short) (SW_APDU_EXCEPTION + ex.getReason()));
    }The error code is 6700
4.) My last problem ist, that i am not able to use a value bigger than 0x7F as the ne field in the apducommand, because i get the following error
CommandAPDU((byte) 0xb0, (byte) 0x60, (byte) 0x01, (byte) 0x00, data, (byte) 0xff);
java.lang.IllegalArgumentException: ne must not be negative
        at javax.smartcardio.CommandAPDU.<init>(CommandAPDU.java:371)
        at javax.smartcardio.CommandAPDU.<init>(CommandAPDU.java:252)I thought that it this should be possible in order to use all the bytes of the response apdu.
If you need more code to help please let me know.
Cheers

2) What is PKCS? what is the difference between
PKCS#11 and PKCS#15??PKCS is the abbreviation of "Public-Key Cryptography Standards"
PKCS #11: Cryptographic Token Interface Standard
See http://www.rsasecurity.com/rsalabs/node.asp?id=2133
PKCS #15: Cryptographic Token Information Format Standard
http://www.rsasecurity.com/rsalabs/node.asp?id=2141
If you want to use yor smartcard as secure token it doesn't have to be a JavaCard.
BTW: I don't remember a way to access PKCS#15 tokens on a JavaCard from within an oncard JavaCard program. If you want to use keys in your oncard program, you have to transfer it onto the card or generate it oncard and export the public key by your own oncard/offcard code.

Some basic questions about rmi registry context "bind" and "lookup"

We have more processing to do than can be accomplished with a single computer. To solve the problem I've implemented a distributed computing solution using RMI. (The first time I saw RMI was about 2 weeks ago, so please bear with me!)
The implementation is a proof of concept not a fully fleshed out system. I have one "Workunit Distributor" computer and any number of "Data Processor" computers all on the same lan segment. "Workunit Distributor" and "Data Processor" computers are both RMI client and server to each other. The "Data Processor" computers are given the ip address and name of the "Data Distributor" on the commandline when they start. They communicate their willingness to receive and process a workunit to the ""Workunit Distributor" via a RMI call. Work units are sent to available "DataProcessors" and results are eventually returned to the "WorkunitDistributor" (minutes or hours later). The model program works quite well, and appears to be capable of doing the processing we need to get done.
But now that it seems viable, I've been asked to make it a little more scalable, flexible and self configuring. In particular, instead of one "Workunit Distributor", any number of "Workunit Distributors" should be allowed to show up or disappear from the lan at any time and the system should continue to function. I've worked out a good scheme for how this can be done, but I have a couple of questions about the RMI registry (registries?). I'm trying to keep from implementing some functionality that may already be available as a library or subsystem.
With my current model design, each computer binds to its own registry with a unique name. For instance:
CRDataProcessorImpl crdpi = new CRDataProcessorImpl(svr);
Context crDataProcessingContext = new InitialContext();
crDataProcessingContext.bind("rmi:"+hostName, crdpi);
Currently the "Data Processors" get the info they need for a Context lookup() of the one and only "Workunit Distributor" from the commandline. And the info the "Workunit Distributor" needs to do a Context lookup() of a "DataProcessor" is passed to it from each "DataProcessor" via a RMI call.
But in the newer (yet to be implemented) scheme where any and all "Workunit Distributors" show up and disappear whenever they feel like, the naming bootstrapping scheme described above won't work.
I can imagine a few ways of solving this problem. For instance, having "Workunit Distributors" multicast their contact information on the lan and have a worker thread on each "Data Processor" keep track of the naming information that was multicast. Another alternative (more organized, but more complex) might be to have a dedicated host with a "well known" address and port that "Workunit Distributors" and "Data Processors" could all go to, to register or look up at an application level. Sort of a "domain name service" for RMI. But both these schemes look like a lot of work to implement , debug and maintain.
The BEST thing would be if there was one plain vanilla RMI registry that was usable by all RMI enabled computers instead of having each computer have its own local name registry. In volume 2 of the Core Java2 book it says that every registry must be local. I'm only hoping there's been progress since the book was published and now a central rmi registry is available.
If you have any ideas about this I'd like to hear what you know.
Thanks in advance for any advice.

ps - I don't believe web services, as full featured as it is, is a useful alternative. I'm moving 100's (in the future possibly 1000's) of megabytes back an forth for processing.

The local bind/rebind/unbind restriction is still there and it will always be there.
I would look at
(a) RMI/IIOP, where you use COSNaming as a registry, which doesn't have that registriction, and which also has location-independent object identifiers
(b) Jini.
