Best place for non-timecoded media?

I store all of my video clips on my external media drive. But what about graphics, music, stills, etc? Should I place these on my internal for storage for ongoing projects?
Best.

My preference is to keep as much as possible in the same event and on the same drive. Although I can't prove it, my theory is that having files scattered across different drives and different events during the editing process contributes to the frequency of beachballs and crashes.
But if at the end of the project, stuff is scattered, or I can't remember what and where stuff resides, FCP has some archiving tools that collect and organize files into a single location.
Duplicate a project (the BU). Select Duplicate Project and Used Clips from the dialogue window. Create a new event (leave the render file box unchecked unless you have more storage space than you will ever need.
Go into FCP menu>File>Organize Event Files and all the files that relate to the project being archived will be collected and put in the location you chose.

Where to store non-timecode media

I am starting an animatics job and had a couple of questions. Where is the best place to store all of the media (the story board panels and voice record)? I read that non-timecode media should go in the project folder but in this case there will be a lot of media so I wasn't sure if this was the place. I will also be sending it to an Offline editor afterward. I have mostly used FCP to capture DV footage that went into the Capture Scratch folder so this is a new situation for me. I would appreciate any help.
BD

I put all source material in a sub-folder (job name) in Capture Scratch. This will contain other sub folders for graphics, Motion project files, LiveType etc.
If it is source material, it belongs in Capture Scratch. Makes things easier to find and it's an obvious place to save to.
If you plan on sending the job to another editor, then you should use the Media Manager to copy the project and media. This will consolidate everything to one folder anyway.

Best place for CUA

We've got ECC, BW, XI, EP, SolutionManager installed and want to implement CUA.
I want to know your comment on:
One CUA or more CUAs, we have 3 systems (DEV, QAS, PRD) landscape for each system.
*Where is the best place for CUA?
TIA.

Hi Team FI,
There are other factors that may be considered when deciding where to put CUA. For example:
Are you using Indirect Assignment of roles also? If so, then simplicity would say, put the CUA on the same system as the HR module (saves having to ALE over the PD object -> Role relationships to different CUA system).
High availability - normally your ECC system would have the highest availability due to the critical nature and impact on business, so it would make sense to put it on your ECC system if this is the leading factor.
What is your role integration strategy like? I know some clients that have excellent integration across all systems such that a 'role' is defined as all of the access that you require inclusive of all SAP systems, and LDAPs. If this is the case, then you can have a single CUA system. Assign ONE composite role to the user, which then provisions out single roles to all of the other SAP systems (including non-prod) and synchronises with your LDAP. If your role integration is not as 'good' as this, then you may consider having two CUA systems. One for the prod systems, and the other for the non-prod systems.

Best place for LR catalog (.lrcat) file?

I'm putting together a new PC running Vista and am trying to figure out the best place for the LR catalog (lrcat) file. This PC has multiple hard drives as follows:
C: OS and apps
D: non-photo files (docs, mp3s, etc)
E: photo files
F: video files
All the drives are comparable in read/write speed. The Lightroom app will be installed on the C: drive, and the LR catalog will consist of the images on the E: drive. While working in LR, I sometimes listen to mp3s stored on the D: drive. I'm assuming that the best place for the lrcat file is the F: drive (since I seldom access that drive while working in LR). Does this make sense? Or should the lrcat file go somewhere else?
On a side note, on my last PC, I had the lrcat file in what was originally a dedicated scratch drive (for PS), but I'm doing less and less in Photoshop these days, and my new system will have 12GB of ram, so I decided to do without a dedicated scratch drive for the new system.
Any advise appreciated.

Asking yourself the following questions may help determine which drive is best suited for storing the Lightroom Catalog:
1) Are you the only person using the "Lightroom computer"?
2) Do you have multiple log on accounts?
3) Do multiple log on accounts need access to the Lightroom Catalog?
If you answer yes to #1, its default location might be fine. If you answer yes to #2 or #3, you should concider a central location for the .lrcat file.
By default, the .lrcat file is located in a users document folder. This means that at least one (1) .lrcat file will be created per user account. Seeing that you usually keep photo files on the E Drive, creating a folder on the root of the E Drive might not be a bad idea. Using the root of E schema will then allow mutiple users to access the .lrcat file when they log on. Using the E Drive keeps "photo related" files together, thought Drive D or Drive F would also work. It appears from your description that you keep O/S and Applications only on the C Drive, which I do myself.
Hope that helps!

The best place for content server

Hello,
We need to install content Server . SAP ECC is in Paris .
The users who will use the content server will be in New-York.
Is the best place for content server in Paris or in New-York?
The question could be : Will a document (for ex. a pdf of 100 Mb) to be checked_in the CS be first transferred from frontend to ECC and then from ECC to CS or directly from frontend to content server ?
Thanks

Hi Oda,
If your users are in New-York, then better to have content server there to optimize network traffic and speed. There is something called as distributed content server concept where you can have different storage areas for different geographical locations.
And as far as i know, whenever files are checked-in, they are directly stored in content server and it will not route through the ECC. Only DIR stored in the ECC will be linked to the file in the content server.
Hope this helps.
Regards,
Ravi

If something like this already exists, please let me know.
I often wish when I select a word to right click and choose dictionary to to find out the meaning of the word. Currently I have to copy, go to a dictionary web page, paste and search. And I spent a lot of time for that. I'm not that technically oriented to suggest how this can be achieved but just as an idea, may be Mozilla can partner with dictionary web sites by making a plug ins or include a dictionary with Firefox itself

I am sure there are Extensions that do this.

Best place for the sub.

Hi,
I have a 2.1 speaker system (I-trigue 3400) and was wondering if anybody knows the best place to put the sub so you can hear the deep bass more, it is infront of my legs now, and when i bend down i can hear more, but when i put it above my head i cant hear it again.

To find the best place for a sub is quite complicated. The distance from walls, corners and other objects makes a huge difference. One way is to place the sub where you will be sitting; put it as close to where your head will be as you can. Then play some music with nice deep bass and crawl around the floor. You should notice that there are areas where the bass is louder, these are the best spots to place the sub.

Best place for DSL wireless router to aquire strongest signal

Hi all
I have a Westell DSL wireless router sitting on a Kensington surge protection base with antennas pointing straight up. Is this ok? My wireless internet connection is ok for now. What's the best place for my wireless router for the strongest possible signal?
Thanks for your help
Web dude

Place it clear of HVAC ducting and away from any microwave or cordless phone base stations(s) in the house - these are the primary causes of wifi interference/noise and signal outages. Consider the area you want to cover (including any outdoor areas) and place the unit as near the center as possible.
Download a copy of AP Grapher and observe the signal quality in your intended reception area(s) to help place the router optimally for best signal and lowest noise, including rotating the antennas if needed - vertical is perfectly OK, but you may get marginally better signal or lower noise by rotating them.
AP Grapher can be downloaded from http://www.chimoosoft.com/products/apgrapher/

If you know that you will not be asked to design GUI interfaces, and the C programming course will adhere to command line compilation environments, then get the Xcode command-line developer tools, and skip the extra complication of Xcode until you absolutely need it. Apple has kicked GNU C to the curb and is rightly so, using Clang/LLVM compiler technology.
Sign up for a free Apple Developer account using your Apple ID, and then visit the Mac Dev Center, and towards the bottom of the page, you will see additional downloads. Click on the associated, all down loads link. Know your OS X version beforehand, as the command-line tool releases are tied to general operating system versions, and the most recent Xcode version. That said, there are currently two March 9, 2015 command-line tools for Xcode 6.2 — one for OS X 10.9 Mavericks, and the other for OS X Yosemite.

Best deal for Non-Retina Macbook Pro?

I'm looking to buy a new Macbook Pro (Non-Retina) in the next month or two, and I've narrowed it down to these three options.

Which one of these pages offers me the best bang for my buck? I currently am using a Sony that's about a year old. It has 8 GB of RAM, an I5 2410M at 2.30 GHz, and Intel HD Graphics 3000, It's a 14.4 inch screen. I use it for gaming, watching and streaming movies, word processing and productivity, and internet browsing. I'd prefer to have 8GB of RAM in the new computer.

OK. It was just that the one you had seemed like a decent machine already.
The prices seem so close that I would be inclined to go with the refurb i7 / 8GB RAM / 750GB storage model. But all the models have more CPU and disk space than you need for the tasks you listed, except maybe gaming where Macs are usually weak because of the graphics card. But I guess since you had an Intel 3000 graphics card the 4000 isn't a step back.
You can also save money by getting one of the 4GB RAM models and putting in a cheap non-Apple RAM upgrade yourself, ordering it from a place like OWC:
MacBook Pro 2012 upgrades
One note about Apple. I wouldn't buy refurbs from most companies, but the Apple refurb program is top-notch. They are like new, and come with a full warranty. I've had Apple refurbs that were 100% reliable, and "new" models I paid full price for that needed warranty service.

Best Place for FCS2 Content

Good morning.
I'm wondering if any might be able to advise me on the best place to keep the content files for Soundtrack, Motion, LiveType and DVDPro. Should they be on the same drive as the programs or on an external drive? If on an external drive, is a USB drive sufficient or should I keep them on the same FW drive where I store my other media?
Thanks for your thoughts.
Cheers,
John

There is one situation where installing the content on your system disk would reduce performance, and that's if the content takes up most of the remaining space on the drive. Best not to fill it past 80% capacity.
Other than that situation, I don't think you will notice a difference. I personally keep mine on the system disk.
