Anybody running LP projects on an External HD?

anybody running LP projects on an External HD?
If you do, have you met any problem? like Jam?~

I understand that firewire 800 is preferable to 400. Faster anyway. I don't have 800 capability on my computer but I do know that an external firewire drive uses less of the computer's processing power which is why you get a performance boost. It's not massive but on my computer the cpu levels were down 10 to 15 percent. The ideal situation is 2 external drives; one for projects and the other for samples and loops. I can't speak to esata drives because I have no experience with them. Regarding rpm, most external drives run at 7200 unless they're very small portable ones. That being something of a constant the real issues are quality of the drive and its transfer rate.

  • Anyone know which render format I should use, my film will be used on a video wall (12 screens) and I need super quality. My footage format is 1080p HD resolution 1920x1080. I will be running the project from a mac with a direct line to video wall. Thanks

    Anyone know which render format I should use, my film will be used on a video wall (12 screens) and I need super quality. My footage format is 1080p HD resolution 1920x1080. I will be running the project from a mac with a direct line to video wall. Thanks in advance.

    I do some VJ-type work, involving playback of QuickTime files from the computer to projections, and I get good results using ProRes 422. That's convenient, because ProRes 422 is such a great editing codec, too.
    Traditionally, VJs use PhotoJPEG codec, which also works well, but it's a bad editing codec. So you would have to export an edited master, then convert.
    If you want it to look as good as possible, definitely schedule some time to test the footage on the wall. You may want to change the color correction of your footage to match the projectors. And if you feed the video wall some flat gray, you can see if any of the projectors need to be  adjusted.
    I'm not sure what application you're using for playback, but QuickTime Player 7 works well. It has an option to play fullscreen on an external monitor (View > Present Movie…).

  • XMl parser version problem for running struts project in jdeveloper 10.1.3

    Dear All.
    I am trying to run a struts (v 1.2.9) based project in Jdeveloper 10.1.3.1.0.The struts version in Jdeveloper is 1.1.
    when i am trying to run the index.jsp i get an error:
    org.xml.sax.SAXNotRecognizedException: http://apache.org/xml/features/validation/dynamic
    I think the XML parser version is a problem.Jdeveloper has OracleXMLParser v2 and i think the XML Parser apis used in building the project is different.I have placedcustiom xml parser apis and the xerces.jar in the jdevbin/jdev/lib folder and included these jar in the bootclasspath as follows:
    AddVMOption -Xbootclasspath/p:../lib/xml-apis.jar
    AddVMOption -Xbootclasspath/p:../lib/xerces-2.6.2.jar
    But even then the Exception persists.Is the syntax for Xbootclasspath wrong or i need to place these custom api's in some other location of jdev.
    I am not being able to figure out the XMl parser problem.
    Any help wud be great.
    Is it that i cant run the project in jdeveloper.Just to mention the application is deployed in OC4J on the server and runs fine..But its only that i kant run it locally through jdeveloper

    I am also facing the same issue on my laptop. I searched for forum but no luck.
    appreciate if anybody can throw some light on this.

  • Premiere projects stored on external hard drive & re-editing

    Hi guys, I seem to be one of the few Mac users editing on Premiere Pro 5.5 with AVCHD (from Panasonic HDC-SD700) files. Luckily I can use even the 1080p/50 files, but I have this problem: After I move the project folder (all Premiere files inc. the footage which I store copying everything from SD-cards and not changing the file names) to an external hard drive and later copy it back onto the computer for further editing, it asks where the files are. This should be fine if I know where the original file is but the problem arises as I am not renaming the footage - I understand this could be a problem with AVCHD files - and it is impossible for me to know which one of the 00000.MTS or 00004.MTS files is the correct one. (This obviously only applies to projects where I have recorded footage on more than one SD-card. In my case all the projects seem to be that big - I am an artist rather than a computer person. Apologies if the lingo is not quite right!) I tend to edit hours of footage together by speeding it up and using split-screen. Is there an easy way around this problem when saving the projects on an external hard drive or should I just start changing the file names to something like SD1clip1 without a worry? Or do I just randomly choose one of the similarly numbered clips and check if it happened to be the correct one and everything in the project falls in place? This seems silly and time-consuming too. Many thanks for your suggestions. Elisa

    according to other opinions in different threads NOT to put all media in one folder, i wouldn't necessarily go with this approach. sometimes it's the best you can do. and you can always manage your footage with the editing programm, creating folders and alike.
    in some cases you're left with no choice - in AVID e.g. unless you use its AMA (avid media acess) interfaceand sort of soft-link to your media AVID will first transcode and then story everything in one folder by default. it then creates a little index file that tells you right away if something is missing.
    personally, if i knew i have multiple folders with the same structure and file names i cannot change (cause it'd disrupt the file structure), i'd definitely put in the initial time to transcode to not to run into obstacles later on.
    advantages: better codec, less choppy playback, less rendering, no relink issues
    disadvantages: transcoding time, less disk space, probably larger files
    sure, nowadays software is designed to avoid just that and all my conversations with PP pros showed me that the basic thought behind PP is to "just slam your footage in and start editing" - but this isn't always the wisest choice. not because the software is not able to handle the codecs - but because you'll run into problems with data structures.
    plan your postproduction like you would plan a nice dinner.

  • If i move my iphoto & iMovie source library / Events and Projects to an external hard disk, due to size, will my existing slideshows work ?

    I need to move my photo library and Movies (Events and Projects) to an external hard disk as my 700gb drive on my iMac is now full (*see note below)
    I have brought 2 Samsung External drives (3TB each) which I plan to partition each for Photos and Movies i.e 2 partitions on each drive, and will use one for use with iPhoto and iMovie, and the other drive for a dedicated backup. I will backup the remainder of my iMac hardisk to a seperate disk.
    What has just occured to me is that after I have moved the libraries I cannot see how existing iMovie projects and iPhoto Slideshows will work, as each Application will be looking for the source files on the original iMac hardisc (I assume).
    I am running Snow Leopard v10.6.8 ( I did not want to upgrade to Mountain Lion as I was told the iPhoto and iMovie changes were a 'backward' step. However I now want to upgrade to Mountain Lion, for security updates reasons mainly, and so need to free up my hard drive.
    Can anyone advise on the best way to proceed ?
    * - the iMac hard disk become full very suddenly, possibly due to duplicates, as I have noticed duplicate events and clips in my iMovies event library. I have noticed that some events are also now not showing, with message 'No video clips match the current selection' (I have not search criteria set).
    Thanks

    I was planning on manually backing up my external to the time capsule - but is there a way to set it up to back up automatically instead?
    Time Machine will backup up automatically - you can not have your iPhoto library on the same volume as the TM backup (it will not work and it would not be a backup)
    Dragging the iPhoto library to any external drive will backup it us also
    I was also thinking about having the library copied to another external (I mean we're talking about irreplaceable photos here) - would i just drag a copy of the library to that drive as well?
    Yes - that is a good idea - I run TM giving me hourly backups and a daily clone of my entire system giving me a bootable backup - plus do an occasional TM backup at our second home so I have one off site
    is it possible to deal with my imovie library in the same way? so all my movies and photos are on my external?
    Probably - but I use iMovie very little - better question for the iMovie forum

  • Can Aperture store projects on an external drive?

    Is it possible to store my aperture projects on an external drive or must it reside on the Mac drive? I use an external USB drive to store all of my photos on and just cannot see using HD space for these photos.
    Is it possible?

    Just physically move the Aperture project file to the external drive (when Aperture is not running). Then, when you re-launch Aperture, go to preferences, select library location, and find it on the external drive. You'll have to quit and re-launch, but voila you're done.
    A bit hairier than it could be, but it's a one time thing -- takes about 30 seconds and you're done.

  • Can I move idvd projects to an external hard drive?

    I need to make space on my hard drive and would like to move all the dvd projects to an external hard drive.  Can I do this without causing any problems with accessing them again?

    Yes and No
    The Yes part:
    It is possible to run an iPhoto Library with the Originals stored outside the Library folder, but I strongly caution against it - especially if the Library and the files are on different volumes, as you propose. Why? the short answer: if the files become detached from the database then you will end up reconnecting every single one, one by one. For more see this:
    https://discussions.apple.com/thread/3062728?tstart=0
    Further, if the external is not plugged in when you launch iphoto it will ask you where each file is. All of them. One by one.
    So that's really a 'Yes... but...' I suppose.
    The No part:
    You have currently got a Managed Library. There's no way to convert to a Referenced one.
    Then there's the... 'how much money do you want to throw at this' bit?
    If you purchase Aperture this is a cinch. It can relocate masters, reconnect them if they get seperated and so on. Pay more, get more options. And Aperture can use the same Library as iPhoto, but there is a bigger learngn curve.

  • Error when I run a Project

    When I first installed Java Studio Creator on Solaris, it worked totally fine, but after using it a couple times, when I run a project, an error message comes out :
    The Sun Java System Application Server 8 could not start.
    More information about the cause is in the Server log file.
    Possible reasons include:
    -Port conflicts. (use netstat -a to detect possible port numbers already used by the operation system.)
    -Incorrect server configuration (domain.xml to be corrected manually)
    - Corrupted Deployed Applications preventing the server to start.(This can be seen in the server.log file. In this case, domain.xml needs to be modified).
    I'm just rookie to this program, I don't know what i did wrong and
    if anybody wants to see my server.log file, I would be glad to post it up.
    thank you

    Hi Jack,
    Please do post the server log file here so that we can try and find a solution for the problem you are facing.
    I had a problem a while ago with the app server too. While trying to run an application, after a few times, it would give me an error message saying the Application Server cannot be started. I rebooted my machine and thankfully it worked again. Just try this too and see if it works.
    If it doesnt we can go through the server log and try to identify the cause of the problem.
    Cheers :-)

  • Moving projects to an external hard drive in FCPX?

    Hello, in previous versions of Final Cut Pro 10 was no problem moving projects to an external hard drive. In the latest version I do not get this. Anybody have any tips?
    Regards Marius

    File>Open Library>New.
    Set the location of your new library in the save dialog.
    In the Libraries pane, drag the event that contains your project into the new library. It will make a copy. Or use the Move or Copy commands from the File menu.

  • Transferring Video Projects to and External Harddrive

    Can I transfer a video project to an external harddrive and delete the original from my computer. If so, whats the best way to do it"?

    What version of Premiere Elements are you using and on what computer operating system is it running?
    Depending on the circumstances yet to be exchanged, the easy way out would seem to be to archive the existing project via the program's Project Archiver/Copy Option with the Copied Folder pointed to the external hard drive. That folder will contain the project file (project.prel) and its assets including copies of source media that went into the project. Then you can delete the project file, its assets, and source media from the Local Disc C. DO NOT DELETE SOURCE MEDIA ON LOCAL DISC C THAT ARE ALSO BEING USED IN ANOTHER ACTIVE PROJECT.
    http://help.adobe.com/en_US/premiereelements/using/WS09e4b3c48f3a79fc19b622510385d4355c-7d cb.html
    After that you can work with that particular program from that location.
    Before you start a new project, you can set the project Save In: (new project dialog) and program assets (including Scratch Disks) to the external hard drive, best to its own folder.
    In this type of situation, the prime concern to to avoid media disconnect issues. If you move or delete source media that went into a project after the project's save/close, you are going to have major problems with "Where is file....?" and the like.

    ALV Grid control is based on the custom controls on the screen. When the program is scheduled in background, it tries to create GUI related front-end objects and hence the error u201CFatal Error u2013 GUI cannot be reachedu201D. This type of problem is common with all the programs that use the ALV grid control to display the output.
    Solution:
    Whenever we execute this type of programs in background, we should be passing a blank docking container instead of the custom container as parent to our grid control. 
    The docking container doesnu2019t need any of the custom controls on the screen; instead it attaches an area to any or all of the four edges of the screen (top, left, right or bottom). The behavior of the areas in the container is determined by the sequence in which they are initialized. Docking Containers are attached to the screen from the inside out. This means that when you create a second container, it is attached to the edge of the screen, and the container that was already there is pushed outwards. 
    Let us modify the standard program (by taking a copy of it) to enable it to execute it in background.
    Following modifications have to be made:
    ·        Define a docking container in the program
    data: or_doc  type ref to cl_gui_docking_container .
    ·        At the time of creating a custom container, check if the program is being executed in background or foreground. If the program is scheduled in background, then create a docking container instead of custom container.
    if cl_gui_alv_grid=>offline( ) is initial.
        create object or_custom_container
               exporting container_name = c_container.
      create object or_grid
             exporting i_parent = or_custom_container.
    else .
    create object or_grid
             exporting i_parent = or_doc .
    endif . 
    Now test executing the program in background. The report would be generated.

  • I am using Iphoto 11 ver 9.4.3 on mac using oxs 10.8.5 i want to export calendar projects to an external hard drive. what is the easiest way to do this? i have tried export and import but it didn't seem to work.

    I am using Iphoto 11 ver 9.4.3 on mac using oxs 10.8.5 i want to export calendar projects to an external hard drive. my goal is to store them in an external hard drive so it doesn't use up memory on the mac hard drive. is it possible to copy the specific projects without copying the entire library? what is the easiest way to do this? i have tried export and import but it didn't seem to work.

    What do you not understand?
    You can duplicate the iPhoto library (command - D ) and delete everything except the project and its photos from the copy and move that
    Or
    However the calendar takes very little space - it is simpy database entries - it is the photos in the calendar that take space - and for most people you would wnat to keep those photos in your library
    you can use a photo in 50 calendars and it still is only one photo in your library - as I explained calenders do not exist as such - they are simply database entries telling iPhotop how to display the calendar - they take almost no space at all

  • Unable to run ADF Project Using with Jdev 10 and Weblogic server 9.2

    Dear All,
    I am unable to run ADF Project on Weblogic Server 9.2. I am created Sample Project with ADF Control. This was when we create jsp at that time i am selected libraries ADF. After created war file. This war i am deploying into Server. At that time i am getting error java.lang.noclassfound error.
    so please tell me how we can run these application.
    Regards,
    Suresh.V

    Hard to help you here. JDev 10 used to work with OAS 10g as application server. This does not mean that you can't use Weblogic9.2, but because it is not the default configuration you may have some problems doing this.
    One problem is that you need to install the ADF runtime libraries in the WLS 9.2 server, but there is no installer I know of. You can try to deploy the needed libraries together with your app, but you have to figure out which libraries you need.
    Next thing is that you should deploy an EAR instead of a WAR.

  • How can I export a project on an external drive in the latest version of iMovie?

    Before the latest release of iMovie I easily managed to export a project on an external usb drive and re-import such project on a different Mac... In the latest iMovie version, however, I cannot see my drive any more..
    So, how can I export a project on an external drive in the latest version of iMovie?
    Thank you in advance

    I'm not sure this is the best way, but you could create a new iMovie Library, move your project to that Library, then close the library. Then move the Library to your USB drive. Then, on the other Mac, in iMovie open the Library.

Maybe you are looking for
