Are Automatic Duck's (now) free products likely to sway any more pros towards FCP X . . . .

. . . . . or are there still too many omissions and problems with the new app?
http://www.automaticduck.com/products/download/index.html
Shane announced it a couple of weeks ago but there was no real follow up, so do I take it that the free offer was too little, too late?

Well, most of the Duck products are for apps OTHER than FCX. Getting sequences and media from FCP to Avid...FCP to Smoke and After Effects. Avid to Legacy FCP. ONE to get from FCX out to something else. Nothing there go get INTO FCX.
The new app still lacks many many tools I need to get work done. Besides that, it reinvented editing when editing didn't need to be reinvented. I use apps that allow me to cut quickly, ones that I have known for years. I have no reason to try to spend months figuring out a whole new editing paradigm...especially when that tool lacks features I need.

Automatic Duck is now offering their plug-ins for free

Automatic Duck is now offering their plug-ins for free! Go here to pick up the plug-ins:

From Wes and Harry:
October 28, 2011
If you missed our mail last month you should check it out as it got a lot of people talking. Today we have a follow-up.
Our web site has relaunched* and while the overall look of the site is similar there is a dramatic difference in how we are distributing our plug-ins.
Starting today Pro Import AE, Pro Import FCP and Pro Export FCP (both versions, for FCP7 and FCPX) are available at no charge. You read this right. Free.
We are unable to provide support at the same level as we have over the years, but we didn't want these plug-ins to go away while they remain useful. So if you can make use of these plug-ins in your projects, enjoy!
Thank you to all of our users, working with you for the last 10 1/2 years was a truly wonderful experience.

I don't have anything to add to my original reply - http://forums.adobe.com/thread/1433512. Which bit didn't you understand? And no, you don't need a folder for kaleidoscopes - you just put it in the filters folder as I originally told you.
And here's a kaleidoscoped sunflower

Hello.. I have one problem. I used automator to automaticly sync my photos to iphoto. Now I don't want it any more. How can I disable it?

If you have iPhoto v9.6.1 then just launch it. Done.
IF you don't, download it:
Go to the App Store and check out the Purchases List. If iPhoto is there then it will be v9.6.1
If it is there, then drag your existing iPhoto app (not the library, just the app) to the trash
Install the App from the App Store.
Sometimes iPhoto is not visible on the Purchases List. it may be hidden. See this article for details on how to unhide it.

One question often asked: Will I lose my Photos if I reinstall?
iPhoto the application and the iPhoto Library are two different parts of the iPhoto programme. So, reinstalling the app should not affect the Library. BUT you should always have a back up before doing this kind of work. Always.

FAQ: What are the limitations of the free, 30-day trial version of Premiere Pro?

The free, 30-day trial version of Adobe Premiere Pro CS5 and earlier lacked many of the most useful and popular codecs, including codecs for MPEG-2, AVCHD, and RED media. This meant that people had a hard time evaluating the software for real-world use.
Not any longer.
The trial version of Adobe Premiere Pro CS5.5, and later includes all of the codecs that are included with the full version of Adobe Premiere Pro CS5.5. This means that you can import and export to all of the supported file formats using the trial version.
See this page for more details about the trial version.
For lists of formats that you can import into and export from Adobe Premiere Pro, see these pages:
formats that you can import into Adobe Premiere Pro CS5.5
formats that you can export from Adobe Premiere Pro CS5.5 through Adobe Media Encoder
formats that you can export directly from Adobe Premiere Pro CS5.5

There are no limitations for 30 days, it will work exactly as if you have a subscription. But if you don't get a subscription, after 30 days, you will no longer be able to launch the program.

Can I reset my search engine to Wikipedia? I don't want any of those default Search Engines anymore they are too intrusive. And I can not Empty Cache any more and Google has taken over the address bar?

Can someone please explain how this now works? And am I obligated to load Mountain Lion. It's a very expensive price to pay for online privacy that isn't even Private anymore. I am old enough that I don't have to pay ransome. I can just quit.
I didn't say and was never asked If I wanted Mountain Lion. I can no longer 'Empty Cache' at the end of a session online and when I do a search now (and this has all changed overnight) the query is typed into what used to be the address bar and when the search results appear, after reading the first result and I want to read the second or fifth or Any of the other results of the query I am forced to resubmit the search in the address bar because the 'Page Back' button has been removed and the Little Red Dot closes the Search Results Page altogether.
What else am I in for with Mountain Lion? I already know that I do NOT want anything to do with iCloud. I am willing to bet a lot of money that a pharmaceutical company one day is going to be holding me for ransome with a new drug that was created out of the symptoms of a once - upon - a - time naturally occuring symptom of aging. At least I can turn my Macbook off and leave it that way and the world will not cease to exist. (Or will it?)

Computer operation 101.
Get a bootable, external HD (preferably FireWire, since it's 40-50% faster than USB 2 and designed for data transfers), make a bootable backup/clone before updating/upgrading, using something like Carbon Copy Cloner or SuperDuper!, and ensure that it's bootable and works like the original. That allows you to revert to the previous good state without having to reinstall or reset anything. See these for details:

http://www.macmaps.com/backup.html
http://www.thexlab.com/faqs/installswupdates.html

If you only have a Time Machine backup, ensure that you can reliably restore it to another disk/volume/partition before updating/upgrading.

HT204150 Installed latest iCloud version today and now Outlook can't send emails any more

Somehow the iCloud plugin in Outlook marks every email in the out-tray as "not ready to send".
But only when the out-tray is being displayed. Hence one workaround would be to have any other
tray/folder open while sending emails.
Does anyone know how I can fix this?
For now, I disabled the iCloud PlugIn and can send emails again.

Uninstall iCloud, reboot, reinstall iCloud.

A new update for iphone 4is yesterday and right now, my mobil doesn't foncion any more

Yesterday at night, i did accept to download the last version OS5 for my iphone, and since this morning, it's just imposible to use it : there is a BIG problem, neither i can phone : what happens ? what do i have to do ?
thanks for your help

You will need to use that old Apple ID and password to update any apps you purchased using that account. So you will either need to recover that Apple ID, which if you forgot the password you should be able to reset here:
http://iforgot.apple.com
or you will need to delete all those apps and repurchase them using your current Apple ID.

Exporting OMF files using Automatic Duck

So I downloaded the (now free) automatic duck Pro Export FCP in order to export an OMF from FCPX, and I have a couple questions....
First, has anyone here had any experience with using this method to export and work with OMF files? I know it's a fairly new addition to FCP X, but how well does it work? Many glitches? How well does automatic duck do at creating omfs? Was the transition to Pro Tools pretty seamless?
Second, I tried exporting an OMF of my sequence and about 3/4ths of the way through, automatic duck crashed and the file was corrupted as a result. I tried again two more times with the same result. Has anyone else encountered this? Any ideas of what could be causing the crash and how to fix it?
Thanks!

Automatic Duck no longer works at all with FCPX- I believe it broke several versions back. And since the developer was hired by Adobe it was abandoned. In order to get a mix into ProTools you'll need X2Pro:

Free Automatic Duck .AAF export plug-in not compatible w/After Effects 6.5?

Greetings,
There is a free export/import module for FCP that Automatic Duck produces for Apple that lets you export your time line as an AAF sequence. As most of you know, the AAF sequence can be imported in to After Effects and other programs that support AAF, and all of the cuts are in place exactly where they are in the exported FCP sequence. For those of you who do not know the plug-in can be found at the following address, " http://images.apple.com/movies/us/downloads/AutomaticDuckAAF.dmg.sit "
There is still an issue when importing a FCP produced AAF sequence into After Effects 6.5. Does any one know of a go around or solution to this problem?
I spend extensive time searching the film/video web community to find the answer, to no avail!!! I do not believe I am doing anything out of skew to cause the problem, but I will explain the steps that I am taking. First, I take a sequence in FCP that is CUTS ONLY, and with the sequence (timeline) itself active or selected (and not in the browser window) I go to the "file" menu -> "export" -> "Automatic Duck AAF". I save the sequence and it is parsed by the plug-in. Then in After Effect 6.5, I import the AAF sequence. Every-time, every way I have tried, I get an error in After effects that says, " After Effects: AEGF Plugin AAF: Error during parsing: Invalid document structure (5027 12) " and "Error occurred while creating project"
I really need a solution to this problem, because I have a cut that all green screen and of course is is not consistent. Exporting a QT reference is going to be a pain, so I need to get this working. Any help would be greatly appreciated.

I own approximately half of Automatic Duck.

Older Mac purchases require a paid purchase of these applications.

All my i photo pictures are on my desktop, now my computer is extremely slow

ll my i photo pictures are on my desktop, now my computer is extremely slow

No surprise there!
You iPhoto Library belongs in your Pictures folder.
Performance tip: Keep the Desktop clutter-free (empty, if possible)
Mac OS X's Desktop is the de facto location for downloaded files, and for many users, in-progress works that will either be organized later or deleted altogether. The desktop can also be gluttonous, however, becoming a catch-all for files that linger indefinitely.
Unfortunately - aside from the effect of disarray it creates - keeping dozens or hundreds of files on the Desktop can significantly degrade performance. Not necessarily because the system is sluggish with regard to rendering the icons on the desktop and storing them in memory persistently (which may be true in some cases), but more likely because keeping an excessive number of items on the Desktop can cause the windowserver process to generate reams of logfiles, which obviously draws resources away from other system tasks. Each of your icons on your desktop is stored as a window in the window server, not as an alias. The more you have stored, the more strain it puts on the window server. Check your desktop for unnecessary icons and clear them out.
Keeping as few items as possible on the Desktop can prove a surprisingly effective performance boon. Even creating a single folder on your Desktop and placing all current and future clutter inside, then logging out and back in can provide an immediately noticeable speed boost, particularly for the Finder.
And it is why Apple invented 'Stacks' for Leopard.

Automatic Duck Pro Import

Hi everyone,
So, general workflow question:
I need to capture media at offline quality (DVCPRO HD, thinking of using Mr. Ross' process of DV/NTSC for offline) and then need to recapture at full 720p24 HD for the online. The offline editorial is being conducted by a different company using Avid. I will use Automatic Duck to import the omf file, but the confusion is occuring at the recapture.
I don't use capture now, I don't like it and I've heard/read nothing but bad things about it. I am doing the capturing for the company because I will have the deck. If I do a batch capture, that will take quite a bit of time to do, if I do a capture now, I can't recapture (correct?). What is the best option?
Should I have the company create a batch list for me to use and then batch capture off of that? If I did use capture now, is it possible to recapture what I need by highlighting the clips in the timeline and capturing only that media?
Any help is MUCH appreciated!
Thanks In Advance!
~Athen

If you are going to be onlining a show, you would never use Capture Now. That is only for offline capture. You will be batch capturing. And yes, it takes time. This is why when we online shows it takes 2-3 days. One day just to capture. That is the nature of the beast, and part of the online cost that you pass down to the client. If they are used to the offline/online workflow, they are used to this time.
If you capture now it will not reconnect the media. You must batch capture.

How to re-install an app downloaded in now free time without being charged

It means I've never purchased it and had no backup on iTunes or any other Apple devices, I just downloaded in now free time now deleted. But someone told me that's ok, once you download it in any way successfully including give your money to buy it or downloaded in now free time, both of them will be taken as an purchased item, it means you will find it under purchased category and you can keep updating and re-installing out of charge all the time if you want to
But for my case, I failed to find it and when I re-installed it, I was asked for being charged, does it do the right way? Thx

Hidden? Are you sure about that? This app has been deleted on my device, it's about re-installing an app one has been installed in the past not the order of icons, right?
So...
The ideal situation is when I check the button cash number displayed on which will be turned into an Install button with a cross on the left top, right? But it didn't happen with a certain app I installed in now free time and deleted and I want to re-install again
Thx for your response !
