Anyone is using AVA of BPC 10.0 MS?

We are designing AVA (Automated Variance Analysis) feature for BPC 10.1 MS. I'd like to know if anyone is using or has used this feature in BPC 10.0 MS and hear your feedbacks. what's good and what need to be improved?
Best Regards
Gavin Du
BPC Product Manager

replying myself, ok if I skip to select "define variance" after changing model and click ok immediatly (so I get error message: "Base value not set" it updates the existing values in category for selected model (in reality the refresh should be done after changing model)
would be a nice Little fix (if hard just make a refresh button)

Has anyone successfully used a "WD My Book for Mac" via NAS (plugged into USB port on router) as a Time Machine back-up drive?

Has anyone successfully used a "WD My Book for Mac" via NAS (plugged into USB port on router) as a Time Machine back-up drive? Apple support tech tried to tell me it wasn't possible and that the only NAS Time Machine could back up to is the Time Capsule, but I'm not buying it. I know it's doable, but I'm having a hard time figuring out which External HDDs will work and which ones won't. If not My Book for Mac, is there an External HDD that will work? (Running OS X 10.9.1 - Mavericks, btw...)

Given the nature of backups, my recommendation has always been to use a strategy that is unequivocally supported by Apple. As you already determined Apple Support unequivocally informed you that your proposal will not work, unless your router is an Apple AirPort Extreme or Time Capsule.
The exhaustive list of devices supported by Time Machine amounts to the following:
AirPort Time Capsule's built-in hard disk (any model)
External USB hard disk drive connected to a Time Capsule (any model)
External USB hard disk drive connected to an AirPort Extreme (current model only)
A hard disk drive directly connected to your Mac
That is all.
Use whatever backup device you want, but you should be aware that this site is full of reports of misery from hapless individuals who had been using NAS devices for Time Machine backups, only to find that they were incomplete, corrupted, or useless when they were required. Apple won't care if you lose your data while using a Time Machine configuration specifically excluded from their technical support documents.

Digital Signatures - how to prevent anyone from using my name

I've created a bunch of forms that have digital signatures enabled. When I've created one either with the PKCS or the Windows Certificate, what's to prevent anyone else from just typing my name, email address and Company Name? Yes, I can create one and save it with a password, but anyone can do that. I'm confused how I can ask our users to use digital signatures on internal documents, then have them email to accounting or HR, yet there's nothing to prevent anyone from using anyone else's name (ie how can I prove that it wasn't me that signed it)?
Is there nothing that's tied to Windows ie I can't use my login ID on our domain unless I use my network password? That's really the ONLY way I can prove I'm me.

Self-signed digital signatures are precisely that - the person creating them is the only one attesting to the contents, so you can make a perfectly-valid self-signed ID for Canta Claus of you want to. The critical thing to remember is that a self-signed ID will only validate if the recipient has your keyfile to compare it to. On your own machine it will show as valid because the key is present, but if you send the PDF to anyone else it will show as invalid unless you have separately transferred them a copy of your keyfile. It's that second file which tells them the ID is really yours, as they can physically check where it came from (e.g. by phoning you up). The recipient would then have to manually add the keyfile to the trusted list in Acrobat or Adobe Reader, and finally your PDF signature will get the green tick.
Self-signed IDs are find for internal company workflows as everyone can share their keyfiles, and the IT department can manage what's going on. If you're using digital IDs in a public setting you should never use self-signed certificates, instead you should purchase an ID from a Certificate Authority - a company whose IDs are tied to the 'root certificates' embedded in Acrobat and Adobe Reader. The CA will require proof of identity before selling you the cert, and so anyone can verify it's genuine without needing to contact you. CAS-issued certs for signing PDF files are not cheap, there are several vendors out there and I won't comment on which may be better.

Does anyone actually use automatic panning?

I've tried the automatic panning feature, and I don't understand how it could ever be useful. For example, using Captivate 5.5 for Mac, I'd like to set a recording area smaller than the application window and have the recording area move with the mouse, but I'd like the recording area to stay withing the application window borders. The results are jerky, unpredictable pans and the recording area invariably roams beyond the application window borders, showing undesired screen elements (other apps, Mac menu bar, etc.,) despite my specifying "Application" for my recording settings. I've had to resort to manual panning--which is very difficult to use smoothly; I had to create a "single axis movement" key command on my trackball mouse to help control horizontal/vertical movement, but even that isn't 100% reliable to ensure smoothness.
Am I missing something, or is it simply not possible to control automatic panning in the manner that I'd like? (I've read that Camtasia does this flawlessly, but I've never used it. And I am not certain whether it could be used for eLearning, not to mention it's video based, thus large files.)
I'm having a hard time understanding how this feature could be useful, unless you don't mind very jerky pans and your application is full screen and running on Windows (no OS menu bar to distract the user, although I suppose the bottom task bar could get in the way but at least that could be hidden).
Has anyone actually used automatic panning for a project, and were you pleased with the results?

Hi there
Until Captivate 6, I've long advised folks that if "panning is your thing", skip Captivate and go look at Camtasia.
That being said, it's worth noting that while Camtasia and Captivate both capture what goes on with your screen, they take two different approaches.
With Camtasia, you pretty much record the full screen at the start, then later determine the size you want to produce at. Since you are already full screen and you later determine where the pan goes, it's much better and silky smooth in operation.
As you have seen, with Captivate you get, ummm, how do I say this nicely? Ummm, "less than desirable" pans. So if you are on Captivate 5.5 or earlier, fuhgeddaboudit when it comes to panning.
But I'm aware that Adobe has put lots of effort into Captivate's full motion recording engine. Whether it will now rival Camtasia's remains to be seen. But it's greatly improved in version 6 of Captivate. You did mention Mac. I'm not a Machead and tend to avoid them for value considerations, so I'm ill equipped to say whether Adobe updated the Mac version along with the Windows version for 6. I know TechSmith has different release cycles as well as different feature sets for Mac VS Windows on Camtasia. Perhaps Adobe is better in this respect.
So you might try version 6. Download it, kick the tires and see if upgrading is worth it for you.
Cheers... Rick

Anyone here use a DrumKAT with Garageband?

Maybe someone can help. My setup is DrumKAT (dk10) into iMac with MIDI-USB cable. My problem is when I close the HiHat with my Pintech pedal, all the pad sound start wavering with tremelo. It does not happen if I play through EZDrummer with Garageband closed, but I'll be needing to record in Garageband and I like the standard drum sounds in Garageband '09.
Does anyone have the answer as to why this is happening? Or if you have a DrumKAT and do not notice this, what is your setup?

Update, Here we are a month later. I upgraded from a DrumKAT dk10 to a 3.8. I did this because I discovered the dk10 didn't have a continuously variable hit hat control function. Well, one of the first things I did after getting lost in the complicated DrumKAT interface for a few hours, was controlling Garageband.
No boing boing with the 3.8.....however, now the hat pedal raises the note like a tympani pedal. I'm sure this is not an Apple problem, but a DrumKAT problem, but still, if anyone is using any KAT with any Apple computer, please respond.

Anyone who used WordPerfect remembers their macros--atimesaving "mini-program" (I think they called it) so you wouldn't have to retype often-used text like your name, address, phone number. How do I do this in Firefox?

I'm sure Firefox has a shortcut so I don't have to retype often-used text over and over again (like my name, address, phone #).
If anyone remembers using WordPerfect, "macros" was their tool for accomplishing this.
What's the shortcut in Firefox?

Firefox does have what is called "Form Autocomplete". It remembers frequently used form entries (such as a name), and suggests them next time you fill out a form.
[https://support.mozilla.org/en-US/kb/Form-autocomplete https://support.mozilla.org/en-US/kb/Form-autocomplete] explains the feature in more detail, as well as info to make sure it is working properly.

Is anyone successfully using Digieffects Camera Mapper with CS5

Hello all,
I greatly want to use Digieffects Camera Mapper with After Effects CS5 in Windows 7..
http://digieffects.com/product/camera_mapper
But it keeps crashing my installation of After Effects.
I'm using the demo CS5 version downloaded from the DigieEffects website. Digieffects support says the demo version works the same as the paid version (except for the watermark.). No problem there -- if I can get the demo version to work then I will buy it.
Digieffects support says it works fine with their Windows 7 CS5 installation of After Effects.
I went so far as to completley reinstall windows and reinstall CS5 master collection. But after all that work I get the same crash.
We are talking about a clean install of Windows 7 and a clean install of the CS5 master collection with nothing else installed on the computer.
And I keep getting the crash.
So my question here, is anyone succesfully using Digieffects Camera Mapper with CS5. Are there any tips that I should know of. Please look at my screen captuers of the steps I take which end up in a crash.
As I said this is a new (just a few hours old) installation of Windows 7 Professional and a new (just a few hours old) installation of CS5 Master Collection. No other plug-ins or programs installed.
Thanks
...Rowby

I'm sorry to say I have not heard from Digieffects regarding Windows 7 CS5 compatibility with Camera Mapper.
It is strange because I've had at least one phone call from them, and then a few weeks ago they said they confirmed there was a problem and their engineer was working on it, and I should expect to receive an update of the plug-in that works with Windows 7 CS5.
Since then I haven't heard a peep, even though I sent them 2 follow up support requests.
In my case I was testing a demo, but Digieffects support said the demo was the same as the non-demo version (except for the demo watermark).
Below is a link to Digieffects' compatibility page which shows that Camera Mapper is compatible with CS5.
http://www.digieffects.com/support/compatibility
Their silence on this issue, after their assurances to me that a fix is eminent, is baffling.
Below is Digieffects support's last communication with me, on October 11.
>>
Rowby,
I think the engineer has this one figured out. Turned out to be a problem in the plugin- I will send you an updated one at some point today as soon as I recieve it from the engineer. Thanks for your patience and help with this one

Has anyone ever used this CF8 host?

Hi,
I'm currently using HostMySite - but it's just for my
personal site and it seems like I'm paying just too much for what I
use it for $23.95 USD (about £12 GBP) per month.
This company (
http://www.hostingfuse.com/index.php/fuseaction/hosting.webhosting
) seem to be Australian, offering reasonable CF8 hosting for $10
AUD (about £4.5 GBP).
Just wanted to know if anyone has used them and what they're
like? Or if someone has alternative solutions?
Thanks,
Mikey.

You may only want an Australia Host but I like
http://www.gearhost.com They are
located in CO
and have very reasonable prices. The nice thing is
that you can use CF, ASP or PHP with any account.

Does anyone else use a PDF form to extract data they can then use to populate Dynamic Content in Ill

Does anyone else use a PDF form to extract data they can then use to populate Dynamic Content in Illustrator?

You can connect the form to the DB using anODBC connection. This functionality comes as part of Acrobat but the form must be Reader Extended by the full LiveCycle Server version of Reader Extension to allow this in Reader. In your case, if your system is the only on ethat will interact with the DB then this might be a viable solution (but you woudl have to use Acrobat). This solution woudl involve create an ODBC connection in your system then configuring the form to make use of that connection.
Does that make sense?

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.

Anyone tried using Billings 3 in Yosemite - what are the issues, if any?

Anyone tried using Billings 3 in Yosemite - what are the issues, if any?

Hi
Logic Express is essentially the same as Logic Pro, minus a few Instrument plugins and a few Effects Plugins (there are some other slight differences, but nothing that is likely to cause any significant problems).
You/she will be able to open Pro projects in Express fine, but if any of the 'missing plugins' have been used these will not be found in Express. For Instruments plugs, this might cause a problem because the tracks will not play unless a replacement plugin is selected. For Effects plugins, you might be missing some, but the project should play OK, just sound a little different.
Should these issues become a problem, one solution would be to use the "Bounce in Place" feature to print these tracks as audio temporarily in Logic Pro.
Logic Studio (Logic Pro) comes with all the Jampacks, Express does not. If any loops from the Jampacks have been used, you should be OK as long as the project has been "Saved with Assets.. including Imported Audio". This will copy any loops used into the project folder.
In short, nothing insurmountable.

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.
