Anyone using Canon XL H1, H1a, or H1s with CS4 in hd mode

Anyone successfully editing projects shot with any of these Canon HD cameras in 1080/1440?

Curt,
I guess the question was implied in the word successfully :) I should have been more specific.
A guy that does a fair bit of shooting for me is considering one of these three cameras as an upgrade to his XL2 system. He shoots for several FCP editors, as well, and they have complained about capture and other problems. Since I have no experience editing footage from any of them, I told him I would ask around. I did a search but nothing showed up.

Can I take a frame from my project and use it as a custom menu background with CS4 and its Encore

My project is edited in CS4.
I moved it to Encore CS4.
I don't want to use any of the supplied menu templates in CS4 Encore.
I was hoping CS4 would be all I needed to create custom menus using scenes from my project.
My question is: Can I take a frame from my project and use it as a custom menu background with CS4 and its built in Encore or do I need some other element from the Adobe catalog to make these custom chapter menus and sub-menus?
Thanks Jim

OK, I'm back. Here are my steps for creating Custom Menus with PS, En and PrPro:
In PrPro, move the CTI (Current Time Indicator) to the desired Frame. Check Frames on either side, with the Program Monitor’s Magnification to 100%, or maybe even 200% (you’ll need to scroll, but get a really clear picture). You want the clearest Frame in that area. With AME, in CS4, you’ll want to Export that Frame as .TIFF, or .BMP. I use .TIFF for this.
Now, for a caveat. When you Import this Exported Frame into Photoshop, be sure to check the specs., especially the PAR. You may have to use Image>PAR to adjust this to match your Project’s specs. Or, all might be perfect - just check this out.
Now, at this point, I choose the Library Menu, Blank, so that everything is setup. One can create the Menu from scratch, but careful attention needs to be paid to the exact naming conventions. At the very least, unless you’ve done this dozens of times before, use that Blank Menu, or similar as a guide, so you get things done, as they must be done.
Using that Blank Menu, just drag the Layer from your Exported Frame to your Menu image. It will appear above the black Background.
Add, or manipulate your Button Layer Sets, as is required, keeping them together. Remember that Button #1 will be the Button Layer Set, that is lower down in the Layers Palette. This can play a roll with Button Routing, back in Encore. Lower Button Layer Sets will have lower Button numbers.
Now, I always rename my Button Layer Sets, keeping the required characters - just changing the name. I also do all of my Button text in PS, and make sure to turn OFF Sync Button Names.
When done, Save_As .PSD, and then Import_As_Menu into Encore. Note: if you start with the Blank Menu, you can choose Edit in Photoshop, and then when done in PS, you just need to Save, and it will update in Encore. This is a personal workflow choice. I do the Edit in Photoshop route, but it is not necessary. One just needs to Import the resulting .PSD into Encore with Import_As_Menu, so that Encore does all the things that it needs to and recognizes the .PSD as a Menu.
When deciding what to base your Menu on, remember that you can "populate" your Menu with Buttons from the Functional Content. I’d suggest studying these Assets, and picking the ones that work best for you. You can still alter/edit those back in PS, so you just need to "get close."
Pay special attention to the required naming conventions. You cannot deviate from those first characters in the Button Layer Sets. They MUST be followed.
If you have any questions, do not hesitate to ask.
Good luck,
Hunt

Has anyone used Canon 5D Mark II with PrPro CS4 yet?

Hi,
Has anyone used the Canon 5D with CS4?
Do the files open ok?
Just wondering as I am going to hire the camera for a day as the footage is amazing!
Best wishes,
scott mackenzie

There are plenty of great threads on this material. As John points out, most will pop right up. Be sure to read replies by Jeff Bellune and also PaulieDC. This ARTICLE has some links to useful info on this camera.
Good luck,

Anyone using an HP LaserJet Pro CP1525nw printer with SL?

I'm thinking of getting this printer. Can anyone using this with Snow Leopard please let me know how well it works? Any issues? Nice printer? I will be replacing a Samsung CLP-315 which prints very nicely, but doesn't work well after updating from Tiger to SL.
Thanks

It works just fine. I picked up a 1525 yesterday, configured it using Lion, and I just now configured my wife's SL laptop to work with it. No problems. Just don't install the HP disk and let OS-X grab drivers for it and you should be fine.
It's a little tricky configuring with Lion for wireless printing, but it's doable. See my post at https://discussions.apple.com/thread/3449512 for a checklist.

Has anyone used the Nokia 2700 as a modem with the Macbook 10.6.7

I have managed to sync my Nokia 2700 classic GSM handset to my Macbook through iSync. How can I use the phone as a modem if I have a 3G mobile service?
Many thanks in advance,

Anyone use the Sony MDRV-700 DJ headphones with nano?

Anyone use these with the nano? Did they work well?
http://www.warhogsaudioshop.com/ProductImages/Product%20Pictures/Sony%20Pro-Audi o/MDRV700DJ.jpg
I like big headphones, and want to hear from folks that have used them with their nano.
Thanks for your contributions in advance,
-D.R.

I use Sony MDR-V6 headphones with the nano, and they sound great. These are the same as Sony Pro MDR-7506 (although often the MDR-V6 can be found for less money). These are actually great headphones for sound from nearly any gear (especially at the price), and they provide good isolation.
I don't know how the V-700 headphones work, but I'd stay away from them under the fear that they would be similar to the V-600s which are awful.
You will look ridiculous walking around in MDR-V6 cans unless you are in a recording studio. I hide in my office or at home with them and walk around with either buds (which unfortunately don't work with my ear shape very well - no bass) or Koss Sporta Pro (muddy and too much bass, but somehow musical and adequate for the task if exercising or walking about with ambient noise, plus you can set them around your neck when you aren't using them so they don't take pocket/bag space.)

Anyone using a WD My Book Studio LX with TM?

I've had my iMac for some time now and I am thinking about adding an external drive for regular backups (as we know, there are two kinds of people: those who back up their stuff regularly and those who will...)
My current HD size is 1TB and I am thinking about using an Western Digital My Book Studio LX 2TB - see here. Is anyone using this configuration? Any thoughts? Good or bad experience? Things that I should be aware of?
Thanks in advance for your answers.
L

Loerincz,
I use one of these for Time Machine and it works fine. I would advise you not to load the WD Smartware software that comes with it. You don't need their software unless you want to make use of special functions.

Anyone using one of the new iMac intels with Logic Pro?

Hey people the title says it all really. Anyone using that particular combination? More specifically the newer Core 2 Duo range.
If so, how is it handling Logic and perhaps your 3rd party plug-ins? I used to have a Dual 1.8 gig G5 (see spec below) and that was pretty powerfull but unfortunately one of the processors died so I had to sell it on. Now I'm thinking of getting an iMac due its size and price.
Cheers and beers everyone.
Dual 1.8 G5 Mac OS X (10.4.3) 3 Gig ram,

yup
this has been asked and answered a lot - but i'll bite:
I've got a imac c2d 2.16 2gb ram and it flies. haven't got close to making it sweat yet.
been running upto 8 audio tracks with between 3-7 plugins a track, 2-3 + space designers, stylus rmx with 4/5 instances and fx and maybe 3-4 soft synths - e.g. 2+ absynths and a couple of logic plugins plus an ultrabeat.
dmitedly i am comparing it to my old powerbook - but really it flies and i'm occasionally aso running imovie in the background and surfing the web if the whim takes me.
I'd recommend at least 2 gb ram - but although i bought mine in feb with the full knowledge that a new imac might be introduced soon, i'd have to say wait....check out macrumors buying guide as it's long overdue for an imac new model.
hope that helps,
rounik

Has anyone used canon AVCHD camcorders with cs4?

Im considering getting a Canon HF10 camcorder, and want to know if anyones run into any problems editing with this, or any canon AVCHD camcorders. I hope it works well, because my only other options are ulead and pinnacle (and of course avid, sigh) and those options are pretty bleak.

I have the HF11 and love it...however editing is painful ( and I have a quad core Q9650 w 8GB). I also have a Canon HDV HV30 and like it also, they each have their pro's can con's, but for the ability to just pick it up and go it is hard to beat. Until Adobe can support the higher bit rates (i.e. above 17MB/sec) I am converting mine into cineform lossless codec(Please note they don't have a fully functional CS4 version yet, but it is supposed to be out soon).

Has anyone used the new Panasonic HDC-HS300 camcorder with FCE4 yet?

I'm thinking of buying this new high definition camcorder, but would like to know whether anyone has used it: does the log/transfer manner of getting video into final cut espress work?
I'm also interested in whether anyone has used the new Canon LEGRIA HF S10, with the same question.
thanks,
Steve

Both of the cameras you provided links to should work fine with FCE. For the Canon and Panasonic cameras, you would use Log and Transfer to import the footage. This should work very smoothly as long as you shoot using 60i so it is compatible with the sequence in FCE. I use an AVCHD camcorder similar to the Canon you are looking at an it is working great for me.
Things to keep in mind:
1. Both HDV and AVCHD footage need to be converted to AIC in FCE upon capture/ingestion. FCE will do this automatically, but be prepared for large file sizes. A 15 minute project I created on my AVCHD camcorder at 1920x1080 took up about 15-20 GB of memory once converted to AIC.
2. If you get an HDV or DV camera you will use Capture, not Log and Transfer.
3. Becaues of the way AVCHD footage works, when FCE imports it the program creates intermediate frames between the ones the camera captures. This is normally OK but might be a problem for fast action shots.
4. As Ian said, unless you plan to invest in more expensive equipment the DVDs you burn will actually be SD, not HD. I do this in iDVD and I have always been happy with the results.
So I guess it is up to you: Do you prefer to shoot on tape or hard-drive, use firewire or USB to upload? If the answer is tape, firewire then HDV is for you. If hard-disc, USB, choose AVCHD. In the end it comes down to your personal preference. All of the cameras you have mentioned should be fine working with FCE.

Has anyone used the new JVC GZ-HD7 camera with FCE?

This camera is supposed to export files as an MPG-2 variant. Can they be imported directly into FCE without conversion?
Thanks.
Richard

Hey,
I got one. No you have to convert them into some type of QuickTime file. I downloaded the MPEG-2 QT Plug-In then I use either StreamClip or QuickTime Player to convert them. I convert them into H.264 just because that keeps the file size down some what.

Anyone using pyxis service? They ask for our shared secret

The pyxis reporting system offers enhance analysis of iTunes U reports but because they ask for our shared secret and debug address, I have to ask around to see what others think of this. Is anyone using it? What is your experience with it? Are there privacy issues involved that we should be concerned about?

Not much in the way of information in an entire MONTH!

Anyone Using OFSAA - Profitability Analytics V 5.1

Anyone using the Oracle Financial Services Analytics Application with the Profitability Analytics on top of it?
http://www.oracle.com/us/industries/financial-services/045794.pdf#search="ofsa"
I am interested specially those implementing Version 5.1 of the Profitability Analytics?
Does the product use only Essbase as the data source for OBIEE ?
I understand in V 4.5, the data source for OBIEE was purely relational (star schema).

Try going to the hidden menu (from on hit power off, ok menu. Timing is critical. Under hdmi settings change from auto (the default) to pass through.
Note also may or may not be able to pass signal on from tv to any receiver, depending on your TV.
