Any Do's or Don'ts for submitting a :30 spot to Cable TV?

Hi,
I'm editing a :30 commercial (just graphics, VO and background music) for cable tv. I'm wondering if I need to put the fade up from black and back down from black at the beginning and end before sending the file to Time Warner to run on air? Or do they do the fading themselves when they run the spot?
Also, what is the best format to send them the final video in? There are so many options and I'm confused about how to submit the final file.
Thanks so much in advance for any advice.

If you want fades, you will have to put them in.
The best format for submission is what they want. Have you asked them?
Historical aside: Once upon a time commercials were submitted in 16 or 35mm film and they were spliced together by the stations in the order desired for the particular time slot. Hot splices were used, which destroyed a frame every time you made one. And because the sound reader on projectors is 16 frames ahead of the picture gate, you had to allow 16 perfectly silent frames at the head of your spot, AFTER the fade in, which was eaten away every time a hot splice was made. THAT was a pain in the *ss. After a spot had been in rotation for a while, there was hardly anything left at all.

What is the precise wording of the message that is occurring?
Are you attempting to update via iTunes on a computer or over the air on the device?
How much free space is actually on the device?
If updating via iTunes on the computer, how much free space on the computer?

Any Best Practices (i.e. DOs and Don'ts) for source to target MAPPINGs?

Hi Experts,
Any Best Practices (i.e. DOs and Don'ts) for source to target MAPPINGs?
I will appreciate any hints on this.
Thanks

Hi,
I am assuming that you are asking about transformation mapping between source and target..
1) One to One mapping
2)Avoid using complex calculations
3) if any calculations required use routine instead of formulas
4)if possible avoid Using field routine (you can do start or end routine )
5)Do not map unwanted fields ( unnecessary process time,database occupant, also problem while activation of DSO data )
6)Avoid using master data read mapping option instead you can use routine to fetch the master data
7) no need of using infosurce
8)Use standard time conversions for time fields
Generally these things we need to consider while mapping..

Satya

OK I just transitioned to MacMail, iCal, and Mac address book. Goodbye Outlook, It was great for 18 years and painful for the last year. Microsoft is losing share with subpar software development.

Any free video hosting services meant for iTunes podcasts?

Any free video hosting services meant for iTunes podcasts? I have found free audio hosting ones for iTunes podcasts, but are there any videos ones? THANKS!

The best I found was after searching YouTube for, how to prepare a video podcast to submit to iTunes Directory.
Several instructional videos come up that are worth watching. The two I initially found are recommended are podbean.com and podomatic.com.
I tried podbean.com, which easily generated the RSS feed iTunes requires, which I was able to successfully copy into the iTunes store line on Submit a Podcast to the iTunes Directory. Podbean has many helpful instructions on how to use their site and submit your video to iTunes.
Since I wasted 3 weeks trying to understand https://discussions.apple.com/message/23110806#23110806, other apple.com insructions, searching the internet, calling senior advisors in Apple Care (none of whom knew or could read this apple.com page either) I was really happy just to find one way to be able to do it. And easily too.
The only way you can possibly get an answer from Apple is to email [email protected], the iTunes Store says, since there is no phone support. Then I was told to wait 10 working days for a reply.
Thank goodness I finally searched YouTube. (There were many other confusing and difficult instructions on the internet.)
After uploading small video files onto my new site at podbean.com, at least I got 3 short videos onto iTunes that show in my computer's iTunes podcast subscriptions and they downloaded successfully. I understand I must wait a few days to get an ID from iTunes directory, which will then list my videos to the pubic as available in ITunes.
Podbean.com does have up to 100 mb free web hosting. (No video can bemore than 30 mb.) But it does allow everything iTunes needs, including a cover photo and description. All future feeds will be automatiically seen by iTunes through the podbean url that was given you, that you pasted into iTunes when you first submitted your podcast. So you only have to do this once, I understand.
Podbean wants to entice you to purchase more space so they show various prices.
I'm still wondering if somehow I could link my existing youtube videos (or facebook, myspace, vimeo, Flickr duplicates) in a field somewhere and link to them. Maybe?
Now that I know to use a web host that generates all the xml and RSS feed behind the scenes (since I don't know how) I'll explore these options, and the other site, podomatic.com.
Let us know if there are other good, free ones for video.
(One YouTube video said mypodcast.com is good for mp3 audio podcasts, FYI.)

I have an old file with an .A4P video from 1999. I don't own any Adobe products (and don't really want to buy any). I just want to be able to convert the file to something that I can actually view. Any help?

I was a kid when I made a documentary for a school project. I've been trying to figure out how to retrieve the file. 4 years ago, I was able to get the files off the Iomega Zip drive (finally), but I now see the file is saved as a .A4P. There is also a file saved as a .PKG as well, but I don't know how to open this with my Windows 8 COmputer.

.a4p is an Authorware v.4 (Windows) project.
Interesting you have it as a .pkg...usually that's a published-on-a- Mac extension, if I recall.
At any rate, can you put the file up on a Box, Dropbox, FTP, etc...and send me a URL?
I should be able to published it so you can view the project (it would be an .exe).
It can't be converted to anything though - not without manual effort.

Hello everyone, Very recently itunes on my windows computer does not let me access any items in my Library except for "Apps" and "Ringtones". When I click on any other items it flashes the redcircle meaning forbidden".

Hello everyone, Very recently itunes on my windows computer does not let me access any items in my Library except for "Apps" and "Ringtones". When I click on any other items it flashes the redcircle meaning forbidden".
When I connect my iPhone or iPad I can see every items on them but not on the iTunes Library.
They sync fine with iTunes.
I browse all the menus in iTunes but cannot find any clues to what I have done for it to happen. It worked fine previously.
Thanks for any suggestion.

You should really read the manual.
"How do you restore from backup? "
Restore. When given the choice, choose to use backup.
"And how can I check to see if the pics and videos are on my computer somewhere first??"
They would only be where you put them. What program did you use to import them? Pics/vids taken with ipod are not part of the sync process at all. You should be importing them just as you would with any digital camera.
If you did not import them, then they are not on your computer.

Is there any type of HiFi Station available for the 2nd Gen. iPod shuffle?

I was wondering if there is any type of HiFi Station available for the 2nd Gen. iPod shuffle.
With HiFi Station I mean those docking stations which directly play the music from your iPod, so that you don´t need to connect to your Computer f.e.
Does anybody know if something like this exist, or if it is only available for ALL other iPod models???
Thanks already!
Stefan

YOu can use one of these with any other iPod "HiFi Station": http://www.griffintechnology.com/products/dockshuffle/
Use your 2nd generation iPod shuffle in full-size Universal Dock devices.
Your iPod shuffle is an incredible entertainment value in an incredibly small package. It delivers the music just like its full-size iPod cousins. But one thing it doesn't do is fit in the dock well in your made-for-iPod speaker system.
That's why we made a Dock Adapter especially for 2nd generation iPod shuffle. The Dock Adapter is shaped just like the dock connector on the bottom of every full-size iPod. Plug it into your iPod shuffle's headphone jack, and suddenly the little guy fits in your iPod speakers just like the big guys.
Take Griffin Dock Adapter with you, and you can play your iPod shuffle wherever there's a set of Universal Dock speakers.

Will i lose any work i have done if i stop using elements 6 and use 4

>also is there any video help on using 4 and 6 online i do read the help but i still get confused as what to do i would prefer to see it actually happen thankyou.
I suggest that you look at
http://graphicssoft.about.com/od/pselements/Photoshop_Elements_Tutorials_and_User_Resource s.htm
where Sue Chastain has written multiple tutorials with screen shots and instructions. Now they may not be video format, but they do have the screen shots to show you the actions.
>if i dont buy 6 and my trial finishes what will happen to any work i have done when i start using 4 again?
In general - any photos that you have imported from your camera and the edited photo files will remain on your hard drive. However, many/most of the changes you have made in the Organizer work space will be lost.
You will need to import the photo files done in v6 again once you switch back to v4: if you originally imported from your camera in v6, you would now import from the hard drive location after going back to v4. If you saved in a Version Set in v6, that version set will not exist in v4 - so you will have separate thumbnails for the original and the edited photo.
It may be possible to keep some of the newly applied tags because PSE does sometimes write Tags to the photo file itself. I think that the Write Tags to File command still exists in v6.
Hopefully someone who has done this fallback will post detailed information.

Do we have any option to see all the WIKIs submitted/published by me?

Dear Experts,
Do we have any option to see all the WIKIs submitted/published by me (logged in user)? This option is available for Blogs and Articles.
If it is not available, can we give a thought to implement the same?
It would be very helpfull for the authors to findout their Own WIKIs. Else we need to search in SCN to find out even the own WIKIs.
Thanks,
Vinod.

HI,
Some days back I remember that , there was a blog discussing on the new look and feel of the [wiki home page|http://wiki.sdn.sap.com/wiki/pages/viewpage.action?title=Home&spaceKey=WHP&maxRecentlyUpdatedPageCount=20], so Iam not much sure how much it helps you, but you can expand the REcently Updated link which is available on the right corner in the middle of the page where it is displaying the recently submitted contents...

I need to use sigma plot in my Mac, does any one has a good advise for alternatives. If not, will it be ok to install windows in my mac?

See if Deltagraph is still around. We used to use that for plotting scientific data on Macs. I don't know if it is at all transferrable with Sigmaplot if you have a colleague who uses it, but if you're doing this on your own I would look at getting DG vs, doing a dual boot etc.

HT5787 Hallo , i don't remember the answer to my security questions and my apple ID is my old Email address whice not active any more and i don't have access to it

Hallo , i don't remember the answer to my security questions and my apple ID is my old Email address whice not active any more and i don't have access to it.
During the last year i was using my Iphone under this APPLE ID :***** , but i forgot to change it on "FIND MY IPHONE"

Kind regards

<Email Edited By Host>

If you changed your Apple ID from the old email address (that is showing up) to a new one, but just forgot to update it on your iPhone, try these steps.
1. Use your current Apple ID password
Trying using your current Apple ID password. If that doesn't work, continue to the next step.
2. Sign out and back in to iMessage or FaceTime
If you are currently signed in to iMessage or FaceTime
Sign out of iMessage or FaceTime:
iMessage: Go to Settings > Messages > Send & Receive, tap your Apple ID, then tap Sign Out.
FaceTime: Go to Settings > FaceTime, tap your Apple ID, then tap Sign Out.
Sign back in to iMessage or FaceTime:
iMessage: Go to Settings > Messages, then tap "Use your Apple ID for iMessage".
FaceTime: Go to Settings > FaceTime, then tap "Use your Apple ID for FaceTime".
You should now be able to sign out of iCloud. You will still see your previous Apple ID when signing out.
If you are not signed in to iMessage or FaceTime
Sign in to iMessage or FaceTime:
iMessage: Go to Settings > Messages, then tap "Use your Apple ID for iMessage".
FaceTime: Go to Settings > FaceTime, then tap "Use your Apple ID for FaceTime".
You should now be able to sign out of iCloud. You will still see your previous Apple ID when signing out.
3. Change your Apple ID temporarily
If signing out and back in to iMessage or FaceTime didn't work, try these steps:
Change your Apple ID to the Apple ID you used previously. You shouldn't need to verify the email address.
Tap Settings > iCloud and try to sign out.
Change your Apple ID to the new email address that you want to use. You'll need to verify the email address.
Tap Settings > iCloud and sign in with the new Apple ID.
