Basic HDV Workflow (newbie question)

I recently purchased a Canon HV20 and I'm using iMovie HD 6 on a PowerMAC G4 Dual 1.25.
Can someone please recommend settings that can be used to produce a movie that looks as good as (or very close to) what I see in the full screen preview in iMovie, when played in Quicktime?
I tried various custom settings for exporting to quicktime movie, but results are disappoiting - jagged edges where there is movement.
Even when I play the captured clips from the media folder in Quicktime I see the same jagged edges.
Thanks in advance.
PowerMAC G4 Dual 1.25 Mac OS X (10.4.9)

try these settings..
export to quicktime movie:
Video settings:
H.264 encoder
1280x720
millions of colors
30 FPS
7000kbps
Audio settings:
AAC
Stereo (L R)
44.100kHz

WebDynPro Newb question

Hey All,
I need to begin working with WebDynPro. I have a couple of Newb questions:
1) I need to jump right in fairly quickly, so can anyone suggest any good documentation that could help me get the basics down about working with WebDynPro?
2) I loaded a Sample WebDynPro project into NetWeaverDev Studio, but I am unable to export this to our instance of EP on our Development Server. For a .par file its easy to do exports, but I can't for the life of me find where i go in NetWeaverDev Studio to do an export of a WebDynPro project. When I goto export in the WebDynPro perspective, it appears to only want to allow me to export locally, but I need to push to a different server. Can anyone help me with this?
I appreciate any advice and suggestions. Thanks All!!
Take care,
-Kevin

Hey Rich,
I have the Engine setup, but I do not get prompted for the SDM password, do I need to configure that somewhere? I get the following error when trying to deploy:

Newbie question - cloning to a new server

Hi all,
I am very new to the EBS world, so please forgive the "newbie" question. We are running 12.0.4, and we have approximately 12 different environments. We probably do 3 to 4 clones a week, generally from production to one of the existing environments.
However, we now have a couple brand new Linux servers, and we want to set them up as a new environment to clone to (one will be apps server, one will be DB server). I am looking at some of the Metalink documents on how to do this. But my basic question is this - do I first have to do a basic EBS installation onto these servers, before I will be able to clone an environment over to them?
Thanks!!

MailServer Newbie Question..

So my first time i setup a Mail Server with Mac OS X Server.
Everything works like a charme. I can send and receive emails internally. That means
i can send and receive emails from mac to pc and vice versa. Now my question.
How do I setup the Server to catch my external eMail adresses and send it to my internal account.
And how do I setup to send throw my server to the rest of the world without getting banned and
blacklisted
I how someone can write a small tutorial for me or can post a link for this newbie question.
Thanx in advance..
mike
P.S.: Sorry for my bad English. But I am from Germany

how to configure the server to accept mail for my own domain ?
Any domain you want to receive mail for goes into the Local Host Aliases pane (in Advanced-> Hosting tab). However, you said that you can already send and receive internally so presumably you have it set up for a domain already? If this is not the same domain as you want to use, just change whatever settings you are using to your real domain. You can then test sending and receiving internally for your own domain but without changing your external (public) mail provider. When you are ready to change your outside mail server for your own one, get the public MX record changed so that all external mail starts getting directed to your own server.
how to get the public DNS record (MX Record)
If you have a 'real' domain then someone is hosting your DNS for that domain. THis is probably whoever you bought the domain from. You need to get them to change your MX record (or the IP address for the host name record which the MX points to - see my first post).
Is it really impossible to catch the external email-accounts with the server via pop.
my idea behind that is to synchronize the external email accounts with the email accounts on the server..
I have never really looked into getting a mail server to use a pop download from another external mail server - it may be possible by manual configuration but it never made sense to me. Why have two mail servers in a 'chain'? Basically, the public will see only one server responsible for your mail (via MX record) - you have to decide whether you want to leave this with your external provider or take the responsibility yourself.
Your configuration for the incoming mail seems to me like you would change the
external email server completely to my internal server.. right ??
Correct. Once the public MX record is changed then all other mail servers will send to your server and not your current provider. You can always revert back by changing the MX record back to your existing provider (as long as your account is still open).

MEGA-Newbie Question

This has to be the most newbie of all newbie questions. Interestingly enough, it is the one that is most rarely answered in a non-technical way that the novice can understand.
What exactly do I need Motion for? What, in common-sense, regular-language terms, does it do?
My manuals tell me how to do all the things it does. But they assume I am an experienced editor (I'm an experienced filmmaker, but only just started working in editing) who already knows all the things that CAN be done and only wants to know HOW to do them in Motion. This is not me.
So, say I am making a 90-minute HDV feature music doc. I have footage, I have stills. I will need captions, titles and text on screen. I will need an end credit roll. What is it I will probably want Motion to do for me that FCP can't do on its own?
I'd appreciate an answer in somewhat non-technical language that addresses the practical use -- from a filmmaker's point of view -- of this no doubt amazing program.
Thank you.

hi Paul,
You are right you can do much of the things Motion does in FCP, but Motion takes them further and often makes them easier to do.
Briefly whereas FCP is generally for editing moving pictures from rushes to a coherent whole, Motion is used to composite or layers of moving pictures to make a new coherent whole picture.
So i plain words, you can meld different sources of video, stills text and other sources together to make a new end peice. You can animate text, warp pictures, create fires, smoke, hide bits ( masking), animate graphical elements. In short whenever you need to layer up multiple sources of imagery Motion is your man. Sure FCP can handle a lot of this, but Motion is designed specifically and only to do this, and does it very well. ( You would not want to edit in Motion!)
In your 90 minute example you could do it all in FCP and make it look very nice. But you might need to go the extra mile with the title sequence, perhaps the captions will have some kind of generic strap line ( lower third) under All these things could be done easier and better in motion. However you would not want to import the whole 90 minute programme into Motion and start throwing captions on it. Rather you would want to build each element ( strap line, animating titles, opening sequence etc) in Motion and then import them into FCP for the final mastering. Motion is for short sequences, and FCP is used to collect them all into one programme.
I make music commercials for a living, do all the cutting on FCP and build all the graphic elements in Motion, take a look at my site for some examples if you'd like,

Newbie question. coldFusion w/ Flex 2 tutorial

Hello.
I am very new to F2 and CF. Fairly proficient at Flash, DW,
css, html, etc. I have purchased and worked through a couple really
great F2 and CF books. I am able to construct some good basic stuff
with either. But am not really finding a tutorial or book that is
exclusively committed just to the subject of to using CF with Flex
2. There always seems to be a just a cursory mention, or a
brush-by, but not much more than that. I get it: if you got this
far, you probably arlready know everything about the two and
shouldn't need such.
If you could point me to a couple good references, I'd be
very appreciative. I'm looking for a good step-by-step, just on
this subject.

Thank you. You are right on with the direction of your
answer.
Immediately, I am just trying to create a simple method of
add/edit/delete records to tables from forms that I could access
remotely with Flex 2. I just assumed that CF would be the best
method, both being Macradobe products. If I am wrong about that, so
be it. Utlimately, I would like to print specific "quotes" relative
to specific customers and products to .pdf. This is for my own
personal use (as an insurance broker). Not commercial. Nor is
anyone paying me to develop this.
Maybe a better newbie question would be: what would be the
preferred method to add/edit/delete records, remotely, from a Flex
2 application for later printing to .pdf based on various selection
criteria? I have figured out how to do this on my own stand-alone
machine. Now I want to be able to do it remotely from anywhere.
I'm
not looking for instruction from anyone here, just direction
to your favorite learning tools so that I can dig in and learn.
I bought the books you recommended (adding to my own Library
of Congress).
Thanks again!

Total Newbie Question ... Sorry :-(

I know it's a windows thing, and I am now converted to Mac but I gotta know this because it's doing my head in. It's a complete stupid green gilled newbie question.
When installing new programs on a Mac can you create shortcuts to the programs on the Dock? I did what I THOUGHT it would be, i.e I made an Alias and stuck it in the dock, but on rebooting my Mac later on, in place of the shortcuts where 3 question marks which when clicked on did absolutely nothing???
Help?

You aren't installing something from a dmg file are you? The dmg is a disk image – kind of a virtual CD. So when you double click the dmg and then get the little disk/hardrive/custom icon on your desktop that is the same as if you had mounted a CD. You then need to drag the application off of that "CD" into your application folder. Then it is truly installed.
You can then "eject" the icon your your desktop. This is what happens when you shutdown and without remounting the image your dock shortcut can't find the original.
Just a thought.

Newbie Question about FM 8 and Acrobat Pro 9

Hello:
I have some dcouments that I've written in FM v8.0p277. I print them to PDF so that I can have a copy to include on a CD and I also print some hard copies.
My newbie question is whether there is a way to create a PDF for hard copy where I mainitain the colors in photos and figures but that the text that is hyperlinked doesn't appear as blue. I want to keep the links live within the soft copy. Is there something I can change within Frame or with Acrobat?
TIA,
Kimberly

Kimberly,
How comes the text is blue in the first place? I guess the cross-reference formats use some character format which makes them blue? There are many options:
Temporarily change the color definition for the color used in the cross-reference format to black.
Temporarily change the character format to not use that color.
Temporarily change the cross-reference definition to not used that character format.
Whichever method you choose, I would create a separate document with the changed format setting and import those format into your book, create the PDF and then import the same format from the official template.

Domain name settings - Newbie question

Sorry for a newbie question!
I am already pointing a domain name to web hosting for email account. Now, I need an application server to run ERP software and Oracle, and installing Solaris and Oracle need a domain name.
If I point my domain name to the server, how do I receive emails from web hosting???
Install an email server to the application server instead? What can I do if I want the same domain name? Any option?

Setting up a mailserver and making sure it doesn't suddenly turn into a spambox is not something you do with the use of a few commands. I suggest to dive into the Solaris admin guide on docs.sun.com and read up on e-mail and network services.
If that is asking too much of your time you'll be better off getting your ISP to handle all this for you.

Your questions are completely off-topic for the forum.
These SunOS forums are for questions on "how do I install my OS"
You particular question is in the "how can I install Solaris while using the CD drive" forum.
So, if you had a question on how to edit the /etc/inet/hosts file to establish a FQDN on the computer, then it might be appropriate for the forum.
Unfortunately, I don't have a clue on where to redirect you, except perhaps to the Sun Java Enterprise System suite of applications?

Newbie Question: How much computer do I need?

Newbie Question:
I would like to use MainStage 3 in a live performance environment to play bars, parties, etc. I'm not looping, using it to playback recordings, processing outboard equipment or vocal processing. I want to stop carrying Rolands, Nords, Korgs, etc and get to a controller and a rack with a Mac Mini in it.
I tested a download of Mainstage 3 on my home Mac Mini (late 2012, 3.5 Ghz i5, 4GB RAM, 500GB drive) and it seemed to run fairly well. $30 well invested so I trekked forward... I purchased a Mac Mini (late 2009, 2.52GHz Core 2 Duo, 6GB RAM, 128GB SSD) for $200. I started to do more elaborate keyboard setups to see how the CPU would hold up. It typically runs from 30% to 50% of capacity (CPU and Memory) It actually boots and runs better than the i5. I hear the occasion gitch, but it actually seems to be getting better in time (or I'm rock and roll deaf.
I got a rack, an Airport Express, a Radial USB interface and a Nektar Panorama P6. It's starting to get expensive, but I'm emboldened by the actual quality for the sound and the flexibility of arranging for live performance. What used to take me two and three keyboards to play, I can now fit on one performance patch.
OK, now the question... am I at the limits of this little Core 2 Duo? Should I upgrade the i5 with more RAM and a bigger SSD and use that? Should I get a new(er) i7 and bite the $1,500 bullet for the additional RAM and SSD?
I see that most of you are running pretty nice Macbook Pros with i7 and lots of everything. My needs are modest; am I OK?
BTW, I want to run a Mac Mini in a box because I don't want to carry a laptop out in the open. If I was doing bigger shows I wouldn't care but I play some rowdy bars and constantly have folks hanging off me while I'm playing. It's fun, but hard on gear. If you can't drop it or dip it in beer, it won't last long where I work.
Matt Donnelly

Rule of thumb: newer and faster is better. But, depending the complexity of your needs you may be OK with an older Mac. Some glitches that happen in a live performance are due to loss of communication with USB or Firewire inputs, so make sure they're secure. I recently upgraded from a 2010 Mac Mini 2.6 dual core with 16 GB RAM, which was used live for nearly four years, to the latest Mac Mini 3.0 i7 with 16 GB RAM and a 500 GB SSD. I was getting an occasional stuck note with the older one. The new one is rock solid. Some of my patches may have up to a dozen channel strips mapped to three keyboards. The Mini is mounted in a rack next to a MOTU Ultralite Hybrid. It is a good idea to map a panic button on your keyboard to controller # 123(all notes off). Also, you might want to invest in a battery backup power supply(APC, Cyberpower, etc.-$40-$60) to protect your Mac against power loss, which can damage you hard drive.

Multiple version of JRE in company..How to manage? (newbie question)

Greetings..this is a newbie question
We have 48 versions of JRE running in on XP IE6 in our company.
Some version beat up other JAVA applications.
It's a mess.
How can anyone manage this many versions?
Can we consolidate down to a few versions?
I saw some posts on changing the JRE dynamically or perhaps using a wrapper with a product from "sourceforge".
Are these viable?
Thanks in advance

How can anyone manage this many versions?you don't, each computer should periodically upgrade (IMO) but you shouldn't care. if you do, tell your users to load the latest version
Can we consolidate down to a few versions?sure

Workflow design questions: FM vs WF to call FM

Hereu2019s a couple of workflow design questions.
1. We have Workitem 123 that allow user to navigate to a custom transaction TX1. User can make changes in TX1. At save or at user command of TX1, the program will call a FM (FM1) to delete WI 123 and create a new WI to send to a different agent.
Since Workitem 123 is still open and lock, the FM1 cannot delete it immediately, it has to use a DO loop to check if the Workitem 123 is dequeued before performing the WI delete.
Alternative: instead of calling the FM1, the program can raise an event which calls a new workflow, which has 1 step/task/new method which call the FM1. Even with this alternative, the Workitem 123 can still be locked when the new workflowu2019s task/method calls the FM1.
I do not like the alternative, which calls the same FM1 indirectly via a new workflow/step/task/method.
2. When an application object changes, the user exit will call a FMx which is related to workflow. The ABAP developer do not want to call the FMx directly, she wants to raise an event which call a workflow .. step .. task .. method .. FMx indirectly. This way any commit that happens in the FMx will not affect the application objectu2019s COMMIT.
My recommendation is to call the FMx using u2018in Update tasku2019 so that the FMx is only called after the COMMIT of the application object.
Any recommendation?
Amy

Mike,
Yes, in my first design, the TX can 1. raise a terminating event for the existing workitem/workflow and then 2. raise another event to call another workflow. Both 1 and 2 will be in FM1.
Then the design question is: Should the FM1 be called from TX directly or should the TX raise an event to call a new workflow which has 1 step/task, which calls a method in the Business object, and the method calls the FM1?
In my second design question, when an application object changes, the user exit will call a FMx which is related to workflow. The ABAP developer do not want to call the FMx directly, she wants to raise an event which call a workflow, which has 1 step/task, which calls a method, which calls the FMx indirectly. This way any commit that happens in the FMx will not affect the application objectu2019s COMMIT.
My recommendation is either call the FMx using u2018in Update tasku2019 so that the FMx is only called after the COMMIT of the application object or raise an event to call a receiver FM (FMx).
Thanks.
Amy

Newbie question - XML version, searching by artist

Probably quite a common problems - apologies for newbie questions.
I've changed the URL of my MP3s in my XML to a new location and refreshed my feed. Is there a way of seeing what version of the XML iTunes is using? (it takes around 24 housr to refresh, right?)
Also, when I'm searching for my podcast by author it's not coming up (<channel><itunes:author>) - is there a reason for this or a way to get it to show up when people search for the artist, other than doubling it in the title? (This works by the way, but I'd prefer not to!)
Thanks.

you can do it in just one loop, going through all the image
tags in index_content and for each tag fill the values of all four
arrays
for (i...) {
get the appropriate child of index_content
first_array[ i ] = value of first tag
second_array[ i ] = value of second tag
no need for multiple loops.
flash has functionality for xml files, but it helps to write
a little wrapper around it, to simplify programming, especially if
you work with xml a lot.. I wrote my for work, so I can't show it
to you, but it's not very complicated to do
