Any suggestions RE: aftermarket cards to accelerate rendering for FCP?????
Any suggestions RE: aftermarket cards to accelerate rendering for FCP? I will be purchasing a Mac Pro system when FCP6 gets released.
I'm about to come over from Adobe Pre Pro2 & the Matrox Card(which added a tremendous amount of RT to Premiere)
What cards would you recommend to do the same in a Mac Pro?
Are they reliable?
My budget for a card is under $2000.
One with some aditional inputs & outs wouldn't hurt but my main concern is as little rendering as possible.
I will be doing mostly DV, but within a year or so will be doing HDV.
Here's your chance to turn a PC guy,
Steve from NY
Their cards will enable MORE effects to be RT for certain codecs, like HDV and DVCPRO HD. The 3-way color corrector is an RT effect already. But what also helps with RT effects, mainly with PiP and multi-layers is a really fast RAID array. MULTIPLE STREAMS is the term used for multiple layers of video. So with a single firewire 400 drive, you can get one stream of DVCPRO HD. But with a 5 drive RAID, you can get about 6 streams.

I am having issues with my personal hotspot. I can connect an iPAD to it but the MacBook Pro gives a connection timeout error. Sometimes it asks for a password but when I type in the correct one it doesn't recognise it. Any suggestions? My software is up to date and I have deleted the password in key chain but this doesn't seem to help. I am a bit technically challenged so simple language please. Thanks in advance for any suggestions.
Fixed!
Two things together have restored connectivity.
1. I changed the name under Settings > General > About > Name from My Name's iPad to iPad of My Name. I read somewhere that iOS 7.0.1 or 7.0.2 (I forget which) sometimes had issues with apostrophes here. Easy enough to test.
2. I then reset (again) the APN settings under Settings > Cellular Data > APN Settings > Personal Hotspot and reentered our provider's info (APN, Username, Password) there.
I don't know WHY it worked, but the personal hotspot is now happily sharing (again) internet connectivity with my MacBook Pro. -

Can anyone suggest.

Any suggestions on a good video editing software for MacBook Pro
I have just joined the MacBook Pro community would like an idea for good video software options
Also, compare the hardware specification (not just minimums) needed to actually
use the video editing software; plus consider external storage options of huge
capacity since most portable computers don't really have all that much storage.
A few years ago some suggested Avid Media Composer as professional software
but then in the same discussion, said the MacBook Pro may not be able to handle
the demands of the application; and went on to suggest an Apple Mac Pro tower.
Some software needs require further study prior to committing resources & funds
to discover perhaps the product may/may not be adequate. Avid likely is still costly.
Hopefully you can get a great editor with a few creative options, for a decent price.
Good luck & happy computing! -
Thebattery on my iPhone 4s will die when it says it is half charged. It seems like the halfway point is actually end point for the battery.
Sounds like the device was dropped at some point and damaged as a result.
Take it to Apple for evaluation and a replacement. -
Just wondering if anyone knows of a plug-in that would allow FCP to use multiple computers to accelerate its renders.
I know Compressor has distributed rendering. Would be great to see it implemented in FCP.It's always helpful to search as you can find answers that way too:

I have an iPod 4s and I am trying to update to IOS 6.1.6. I keep trying to download but it will not allow me to click download and install. I have checked my storage and I have more than enough storage space available. Do you guys have any suggestions?
The only available, signed, iOS, for your iPod, is iOS 7.1. That's why you can't install iOS 6.1.6.

I Can't seem to be able to download (or update) any apps on IOS 8.0, and I have been able to download apps on IOS 7 and IOS 6. I have 5.2 GB of available space on my iPad (4th generation) and I have only used 7.1 GB on my 16GB ipad. I have a full two bars of Internet. Again I have been able to download things with two bars in the past using IOS 7 and IOS 6. Any suggestions would be helpful. =3 Sorry for the incorrect spelling
You might try just waiting. There are millions of people activating their iPhones today and people still trying to get iOS8, so the servers are swamped. I'd give it a couple of days and if it still doesn't work then try some troubleshooting.

screen is blank with apple logo after downloading new ios 7. Any suggestions?
Hi, ronia90.
Thank you for visiting Apple Support Communities.
I would first try a reset of the device. To reset a device, press and hold both the Sleep/Wake and Home buttons for at least ten seconds, until the Apple logo appears. You may need to attempt this multiple times.
iOS: Turning off and on (restarting) and resetting
http://support.apple.com/kb/ht1430
If the issue persists, you may need to attempt a restore on the device via forced recovery.
iOS: Unable to update or restore

Hi,
I cut 9 hours worth of broadcast video in PP CC 2014 8.0. (The yellow interface.) I had no issues. It was all great. For some reason, before I exported the finished cuts for broadcast, I updated the Adobe CC 2014 suite to v1.8.0.447 (PP has the blue interface). I feel stupid. I broke my own rule of not updating software until the projects you work on are done. Now I can't open this project without Red Frames in my timeline and in my exports. I have been reading about this Red Frame that seemed to first appear in PP CC 7. (Maybe even as early as 2006) I never had the problem then, I run Premiere Pro everyday.
My Issue seems to be a bit different than most of the issues that have read. I have cleared the cache, & I have ditched the preview files. This did not fix it as stated it would in previous forum posts. I have moved the footage location from a server to a local thunderbolt SSDrive and renamed the folders and re-linked the video footage. Still Red Frames.
What is odd, is when I boot up the project and after all media has loaded, it looks like it is going to work for a few minutes. I get happy and scrub the timeline checking for the red frames, hoping the problem solved when I cleaned the cache etc.. Everything seems to be fine, audio synch, picture, lower thirds and graphics all appear fine. Then the red frames appear over time, and by 5 minutes after scrubbing, I see mostly red frames. Audio is still there though. Even weirder, is that when I resize the height of the video track, the red frame comes and goes with no real pattern. The clip preview picture flickers with the red frame. The red frames export through through Premiere and through a Media Encoder cue which say .MXF read error so I'm hooped. ( it does render the video, but has the red frames )
I run a Mac Pro;
OSX Yosemite 10.10
3.5 GHz 6-cor Intel Xeon E5
16 GB Ram
AMD FirePro D500 3072 MB
Canon XF-305
.MXF files
1080p 29.97
5 Cam Multicam Seq.
Adobe CC 2014
Version 1.8.0.447
released on October 6, 2014
I am noticing something interesting with my source footage folders. I am getting some .mxfindex files with really long names, like temp files almost, that don't go away. I still get Red Frames after deleting them, clearing cache, changing drive locations and file and folder names and relinking. When I delete these long files the software wont boot the project very well and crashes a few times before it opens, still with red frames. This problem with this project occurs on every computer (4) in the studio, which are the same as mine, we all updated at the same time.
Files look like this:
What happened in that update? Is there a fix for this? Any suggestions? If not, Is it possible for me to roll back my whole CC 2014 version to 8.0? I am terrified to open any other of our projects... I am under time pressure and am starting to do the re-edit of this in CS6 which seems to run flawlessly, but because of Adobe's RIDICULOUS FAIL in backward compatibility, I can not open this project in anything but PP CC 2014. 120 hrs of lost editing will certainly have me scratching my head about continued use. Any suggestion, links or information would be appreciated.
Thanks .Hi 5neaky c,

You should still have a Premiere Pro CC 2014.0.1 (8.0.1) project file available to you by default. Can't you go back to that version and complete your project? That's what I'm recommending those having this problem do.

As long as you ingest the footage via the Media Browser and do not update the project file, you shouldn't have issues like this. I have heard complaints in new projects with Premiere Pro CC 2014.1 (8.1), so I have reopened a previously closed bug.

If this is not working, please complete your project in Premiere Pro CC 2014.0.1 (8.0.1)

Yes, I've seen this with another customer's updated project.

Sometimes, deleting sidecar files can help the situation but not always. It looks like you are having trouble when deleting them.

A bug that was fixed for red frames in 8.1 was somehow broken by the time we shipped this version. We have reopened the bug, but currently, there is no fix.
5neaky c wrote:

Yes, see my blog post here: Install a previous version of any Creative Cloud application
Included in the post is a patch for Premiere Pro CC 2014.0.1 (8.0.1).

Thanks .
You can always try exporting a FCPXML for backward compatibility, but for complex sequences (like multicamera), this isn't always an option. There aren't many NLEs providing backward compatibility, sorry. Feel free to request that, if you like, here: http://adobe.ly/feature_request

Can't get my audio clip to work in Keynote except in edit mode. I've followed Help instructions to the letter. Any suggestions?
Hi Gary - thanks so much for your help. I'd already done that, but finally stumbled across the answer for my situation. I'm new to iMac and this is the first time I used Keynote, so maybe this info will help someone else along the way - I still haven't found this in any of the Keynote documentation or forums I've read.
My slides were all set up with at least one text box in which the text was animated. The sound was the last thing I added to each slide, exactly following the info in Keynote Help re: adding audio. The audio would work when I tested it in Inspector mode, and also if I switched to soundtrack instead. But not if sound was added to each individual slide. Hmmm. After I submitted the question above, I was running through the (auto) slide show one final time to check text, animation, etc. when I noticed that on just one single slide the sound effect came through, but at the very tail end of the slide. Hmm again. Why?
Through trial & error, the answer was in the animation section - not very intuitive re: audio. The steps to correct the issue were: 1) click on the sound icon embedded in each slide, 2) click on the animation tab in Inspector. 3) There's a drop-down menu there that allows you to reposition the audio clip to the #1 spot (if it was added after other "animation"). This allows the sound to begin before the text animation begins on each slide. Before doing this, I guess the sound was in there but the slides were transitioning before it had a chance to play.
Since this is the first time I've used Keynote and it's the most recent version, I'm not sure if this is a new feature to allow users to choose where within a slide to play a sound effect, but I'm guessing that might be why was unable to find any info on how to solve it. Hopefully this will help others who get stumped.
Thanks again for jumping in to help! I really appreciate it.
