Anyone here using the .Mac?

Is it worth it?
When you can get a new domain + webhost with 1 gigabite, etc for half the prize of .Mac?
Errh.

Is it worth it? When you can get a new domain + webhost with 1 gigabite, etc for half the prize of .Mac?
This is a corollary to, why buy a Mac when you can get a cheaper Windows PC at Wal-Mart. So why did we buy a Mac? Ease of use, reliability, the cool factor, it just works.
I'd dispute the 1/2 price of .Mac idea - I've had to deal with some of the lowball outfits and there are lots of reasons to stay away from them, but sure, I can get a decent service with lots more space and more email addresses for $75 or so.
I have an email address that is at least as reliable as my ISPs and since I seem to change ISPs every couple of years it is nice to have an email address (with aliases) that I don't change frequently. (Yes, I know about Google and I have one.) I can sync my address book and several other applications between my several computers. (Yes, I know there are other solutions but .Mac syncing just works.) I have webmail with an address book that is synced to my computer that I can use when I'm not sitting at my own computer. I have a convenient place to store a few files if I want to move them from one computer to another. It is convenient for posting pictures for family and friends to see.
Why do I use .Mac? For the same reason I use a Mac. For the same reason I let someone else take care of my landscaping, change my oil, and groom my dog. Convenience.

Anyone here use the Camera / Framing behavior?

I have a project with a few video clips in a 3d group. When I set one of the clips as the target of a camera's framing behavior, it doesn't frame the target. Rather, something waythehell off in z space. Sometimes the framing does catch the right target, but on export or re-opening the file it won't be aligned. These framing behaviors are assigned to one camera, not overlapping in the timeline. Bug or human error?

I can't be exactly sure this is your problem (not enough info,) but I have been able to recreate the problem you're describing, somewhat.
Here's the deal -- Framing behaviors need to be "discreet". By this, I mean they should not overlap each other. If you have 2 or more framing behaviors on 2 or more clips (which play at the same time, or IN the same time) and they all exist for the entire durations of the clips, Motion is going to try to do them all at once... and that can lead to the middle of space sometimes ( ) [cross-positioning leads to averaging of values].
Anyway, the other thing that has to happen is that the framing behaviors must be stacked in order, the lowest occuring earliest and the highest to be the last.
You can use I and O to create trim points for just the behaviors and slide them into the time positions at which they need to start.
Once all the framing behaviors are separated into their own "time" and stacked in order of "play" then all your framing problems should resolve.
The thread you referenced has nothing to do with any of this, and if that was an issue in a former release of Motion (version 4 judging by the date), it seems to have been fixed (default transition is set to Constant now and seems to work quite well.)

Does anyone here use the Cewolf API?

I am in the middle of a project where I have to display a linear graph chart which presents the results from a simulation. After som searching I decided to use Cewolf (Chart Enabling Web Object Framework).
http://cewolf.sourceforge.net/new/index.html
Now, I went through the tutorial step by step to make sure I did everything right, but then when it was time to view the results, the jsp page is displayed, but the image doesn't/is blank.
My JSP:

I use Netbeats IDE 5.5 to run my project, if that's any help... I just can't see what it is that I'm doing wrong here

Ok, I moved my JSP page down to the root folder and finally got in touch with Cewolf. But now I've encountered a new problem. I get a long error message instead of a graph:
I took a screenshot and put it up here:

java.lang.NoSuchMethodError
Again, I only used the code example that was provided in the tutorial and it is simply not working... help

Is anyone here using the i phone in the UK?

I am considering purchasing an i phone. There is some confusion about when and where it will be available from in the UK. There are rumours that it will be exclusive to one provider. I currently use Vodafone over here. Would it be possible to buy an i phone from the USA and use the Vodafone sim card over here?

I can understand your confusion in the UK since there has been no official word on its availability and which provider will provide it. Vodafone seems to be one of the front runners. I'm sure there will be one exclusive provider in the UK too but then again who knows at this point.
One thing for certain is that a US iPhone is exclusively locked to ATT so it will not work in the UK on another provider. So you are SOL till it is released in the UK.

Anyone here use the nike+ running app with the ipod touch?

i just got the new ipod touch 5g and wanted to get the nike+ running app because it's free, the alternate would be nike+ sensor is $20 extra.
so i wanted to know:
1. how accurate the nike+ running app is in term of recording distance? since i don't have the iphone i wont be able to use the gps function and im not sure if that'll be affecting the distance measurement.
2. how accurate is the speed tracker? same as above, since the ipod doesn't have a gps function.
3. in the setting for the app, what does it mean to reset calibration?

i just used it for the first time. it recorded that i ran for 2.5 miles, i went home and checked an online map and i only actually ran 2.03 miles. if i calibrate it, will my future runs be more accurate? also, what if one day i decide to run at a different pace or i walk a lot more, will this affect the distance recorded?

Is anyone here using the Aperture to pBase export plugin?

And figured out how to make it work without crashing? What a great little plug in and timesaver! I just wish I could get it to work without crashing Aperture every time I try to export even one photo. Maybe I need to switch to another photo site....... I hate to do that as I have years of photos on pBase.

I'm with you, and bringing this conversation to the forefront, Aperture 2 and export to PBase still aren't cooperating as of today (Jan 22, 09).
Really now... I'm thinking of joining PBase, but no way if I have this much difficulty exporting.
Anyone have any solutions?
Cheers

I want to Connect my Mac Mini as a Slave to a Mac pro Server while at the same time using the Mac mini's thunderbolt ports peripherals ( ie monitor, Sound Card, Hard drives) Creating a poor man's new mac Pro. Can this be Done?

Well, I really would love the new unreleased mac pro however , I'm not sure of the expected cost , Everyone speculates from $3,000 to $8,000, in which I may have to wait a while to purchase.
To the point .... I want fully functional thunderbolt ports to be on the current mac pro's .... wonder if anyone had workarounds yet?... or could I chain the the current mac pro to a mac mini to make that happen?

Trying to reset administrator password by using the Mac OS X Install disc to reset but it won't allow me to without original administrator password. Frustrating.

Trying to reset administrator name/password by using the Mac OS X Install disc to reset but it won't allow me to without original administrator name/password. Frustrating. Reason I'm trying to reset is that it seems to be not recognising the administrator name as have changed password in System Preferences - Accounts.
PowerMac, Mac OS X (10.5.8)

Here's the instructions if you have the discs.
*Mac OS X: Changing or resetting an account password*
http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1274?viewlocale=en_US
Changing your administrator password
http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?path=Mac/10.4/en/mh655.html
Here's one method to reset the password without the install disc:
1. boot computer and hold the "apple" key and the "s" key.
2. wait for terminal show
3. release keys
4. type without the quotes: "/sbin/mount -uaw"
5. press enter
6. type without the quotes: "rm /var/db/.applesetupdone
7. press enter
8. type without the quotes: "reboot"
9. press enter
This will let you create a new admin account when you reboot your computer.
Also, without the discs, look at Mac OS X Tip - No Password, No Root, No CD? No Problem.
http://www.macobserver.com/tip/2003/06/16.1.shtml
Without the discs, try this (OS 10.5 only). *How to Reset User Password via single user mode*
http://macosx.com/forums/howto-faqs/300019-howto-reset-user-password-via-single- user-mode.html
Here is a way to get around not knowing the admin password on Macs.
To reset your OS X password without an OS X CD you need to enter terminal and create a new admin account:
   1. Reboot
   2. Hold apple + s down after you hear the chime.
   3. When you get text prompt enter in these terminal commands to create a brand new admin account (hitting return after each line):
          * mount -uw /
          * rm /var/db/.AppleSetupDone
          * shutdown -h now
   4. After rebooting you should have a brand new admin account. When you login as the new admin you can simply delete the old one and you’re good to go again!

Has anyone here used Premiere CC for historical documentaries and similar archival-heavy projects?

Is anyone here using Premiere CC to edit a PBS-style historical documentary? I'm thinking of an American Experience episode or something similar. Something with thousands of photos and hundreds of low-res archival screener clips that will all have to be replaced with high-res masters for the online, etc.
I ask because I work as an assistant editor for this kind of show, and all the projects I've worked on have been in Media Composer 6.5 or MC 7, or occasionally in FCP 7. But I love using Premiere when I edit my own (non-broadcast) projects. And several producers I know are wary of staying with the discontinued FCP 7, don't like FCP X, and aren't thrilled with Media Composer either. So...I'm wondering if Premiere is a viable option for us.
Please note that I do NOT want to have a general discussion or flamewar here about which NLE is "best," whether Adobe's rental system is good or bad, or whether FCP X is brilliant or a disaster. I really don't want to talk about any of that.
Instead, what I DO want is to learn from those of you who have tried it, how well in practice does Premiere CC work in this kind of project? Specifically:
1) Does it work smoothly with EditShare so multiple editors can work together?
2) How reliable and straightforward is the offline/online workflow (so that screener footage can be replaced by master footage, etc.)?
3) Associate producers and archival researchers often ask me for EDLs of the latest cut (which I clean up in MS Word to make more readable). How reliable is EDL export from a complex Premiere project?
4) We often work with online houses that rely on Avid Symphony for color correction. Is that a no-go for a Premiere project? Or is there some way to get from Premiere into Symphony? If not, is Resolve the preferred tool?
5) We typically keep a Filemaker Pro database to keep track of stills and archival footage. Can we import a lot of image metadata from Filemaker into a Premiere bin the way we do with MC 7?
5) What other issues and problems have you faced in doing this?
6) On the flip side, what are the real advantages?
Again, I'm interested in hearing others' personal experiences. I can read online a lot about how it's SUPPOSED to work. But in my experience, there are always quirks and issues that are not in the documentation that you can only learn through trial and error, or through asking here on the ever-valuable and helpful COW.
Thanks in advance!

We do - but generally with a different workflow. I can't answer all your questions but a few thoughts. ps. We mostly do short —not feature length— projects.
• For online we most often export the sequence (or a series of sequences) at PR444 with an EDL. Haven't found an online house primed for Premiere in a way that would make it easier than that. (again: generally 5-10min long projects.)
• Premiere CC 2014 is a nightmare. CC was great. But recently upgraded to 2014 and have had nothing but problems related to the app crashing. It only seems to happen on projects that include either mixed media or large files that require caching (for us .MXF files.) Haven't received any helpful advice on how to fix.
• Haven't used Avid in a while but the metadata works great for us in Premiere. The integration with Adobe Story is excellent: doc interview set-up, transcribe dialog, import into Story, synch with Premiere and: get an interactive metadata script that can be searched and clicked (word by word) to the related point in the footage.
• Have also found that the integration with AE —turning a clip into an AE composition in the timeline with one click— is one of the more flawless features. Works great for quick clean-up or adjustments to footage.
Hope this helps.

Who is using the mac mini 2.6 gig i7 to edit video?

Who is using the mac mini 2.6 gig i7 to edit video? (16 gigs ram)
I will be using Premiere Pro cs6 (Hoping I can utilize The Adobe Cuda Core acceleration...anyone know?)
also
Gonna be using Final Cut 7
1920-1080P, AVCHD Format. Probably gonna convert to pro-res or mpg2 before editing
* Is the mac mini going to suit my purposes?
* Not sure what to do about drives?? Solid state? Sata? Thunderbolt

I use a 2012 mac mini server 2.0 i7 (quad core) 8GB ram as a second edit station with FCP 7. It works just peachy.
I doubt the CUDA engine is going to do much for you in Premiere. You need a beefy video card designed for CUDA and the mini doesn't have one.
Cut ProResLT and you can use FW800. Anything heavier, you'll want to go thunderbolt.

Anyone here using DVDSP to author Games ???

I was approached by a few clients to produce a whole series of interactive DVD games. I own a Sonic creator and SD2000 encoder system...even though scripting in Sonic creator is fairly sophisticated, it is not enough to author highly interactive games. I freelance at a few post facility with the latest Sonic HD-DVD system with Scenarist. It's a very powerful system. I'm tempted to upgrade my Creator but it is a major and VERY expensive move. Is there anyone here using DVDSP to author highly interactive games for DVD or any other authoring app you have used that's up to par for this tak ???? Thanks.

I'm using Creator 2.1.7, it's the last update before Sonic went with scenarist as their flagship. Beleive it or not, it's still running on OS9. It's a decent system, it has serve me well but it's definitely time to upgrade.
I will meet with the company on Monday and i'll know more about the project, but just from reading the script they sent me, it seems very deep...lots of programming.
I'm new to DVDSP..actually, i just got it this weekend. I was thinking of using it to author smaller projects and get another system for the high end and HD project. It's not an easy decision as what to get since the upgrade from Creator to Sonic HD and Scenarist is over 100K !!! ouch !
Anyways, if anyone here has experience using DVDSP for authoring highly interactive games and-or using it for major titles, i love to hear some feedback. Thanks.
