Best way to do mass final billing?

Hello, what is the best approach for mass final billing of a given list of accounts which belong to different bill cycles? The objective is to avoid having to do it manually.
Thanks in advance for any suggestions.

It depends on how you have setup your Accounts and Service Agreements.
When the last service agreement linked to an account is stopped, the account’s bill cycle will be changed so that the account will be final billed when billing next executes. Refer in the help documentation to What Happens At Finalization Time? for more information.
Obviously you can always run a simple SQL script to update the Bill Cycle of a list of Accounts, but make sure you consider the consequences of doing this.

Best way to go from Final Cut to DVD preserving Color Corrections

What is the best way to take my video project from Final Cut and burn it on a DVD (using DVD Studio), I need to preserve the color corrections I have made (used an external video monitor)? Also my camera shoots at black level IRE 0 and I have edited it that way, but as we all know NTSC TVs use IRE 7.5 is there anyway DVD Studio or FCP can convert the IRE so it matches?

from FC; export to compressor
In compressor, choose appropriate preset (i.e. best quality, >90 minutes, 16x9)
encode the sound as dolby 2 (if you choose "all" you'll get an extra aif file)
take the 2 files (video and audio) into dvd studio to encode.
Not sure about your IRE 7.5 question, I always assumed it was automatically converted but now you have me thinking...

Best way to add mass unorganized mp3 library to iTunes to stream on AppleTV

Ok so I have a fairly large mp3 collection(well over 100 GB). It is somewhat organized. It is all on an external HDD under the folder music then from there there are subfolders for genres, then bands, then albums. I am not sure I want to add all of it to my itunes library since there is a lot of it I never use, but I would like to add a good chunk of it to the itunes library so I can stream it to my appletv in the other room. I am trying to figure out the best way to do this. If I click "add folder to library" it only lets me select the Main Music folder instead of the subfolders inside. Any suggestions on how to simplify a mass add to the library would be much appreciatted. Thanks in advance.

If I click "add folder to library" it only lets me select the Main Music folder instead of the subfolders inside.
That is not correct. When you click File > Add Folder to LIbrary, it opens a dialog from which you can navigate to any folder. If it happens to start with Music, then double-click to open until you find the folder you want, and then click Select.
Try it first with a small folder so you can see how it arranges the music within iTunes. Once you are happy with it, start doing slightly larger batches.

Best way for exporting a final cut file

Hi, I'm exporting a final cut project so i can use it in dvd studio pro 4. But it's over two hours. does anybody know the best way to compress it?

Your post isn't clear.
Are you exporting it through compressor to mpeg2/m2v or are you exporting a self contained movie to be encoded in Compressor?
There's a different.
If self contained, use the current settings default.
In any case, clarify what you are doing.

Best way to RTFM on Final Cut Express HD 3.5?

Is anyone aware of a good book on Final Cut Express HD that's been updated for version 3.5? I need to upgrade as I'm switching to Intel, and I'm looking for something written for someone experienced in NLE (but not specifically FCE) that will include mention of the newest additions.
Powermac G5 (soon to be Mac Pro) Mac OS X (10.4.7)

imho the single biggest additions in 3.5 are that effects can now be keyframed + in-canvas motion keyframes.
Tom Wolsky's book is still the best thing out there to get started, don't be put off that it was written for FCE2, there isn't all that much different w/r/t basic functions & editing in FCE3 or 3.5. Tom has also recently announced a training DVD for FCE-HD; and at some point I trust he will publish material about keyframing in v3.5.
You might also want to take a look at the articles on Ken Stone's website - they are very helpful & thought provoking.

Best way to archive the final version of Aperture?

I'm not going to migrate to Photos, and I'm still running 3.4.5 on 10.7.5. I don't want to upgrade now, but I won't have a choice when I buy a new computer.
I want to have the final version of Aperture available to me when that happens. I'm moving to LR, but I still want access to my Aperture library.
Suggestions?
Thanks

You first have to install it, then copy the installed version from the Applications folder to a backup drive. Applications from the App Store are stand-alone versions. You can restore them by copying them back from a backup. And if you upgraded to Aperture 3.6, the App Store should show it in your Purchases for downloading again, even if it will no longer be sold at the AppStore.
But before you can back it up, you need to install the upgrade. The update is only available from the AppStore, not from the downloads page, and the App Store will only show you the update, if you have a compatible MacOS X version installed. You can only update to Aperture 3.6 from a Mac that is running Aperture 3.6.
Both Photos and iPhoto will be able to open your Aperture Library for browsing. But you would need iPhoto 9.6.1 and this update also requires a Mac running Yosemite.
There's no way to archive the app to disk? What happens if someone has a hard drive failure after they pull it from the App Store? Are they just out of luck?
I'm bot sure, if I understood your question correctly, DLS, but you an always restore Aperture from your Time Machine backup or bootable clone.
Only, you cannot download a version of Aperture, if your installed MacOS X is not compatible with that version. To be able to archive Aperture 3.6 now, you need first a compatible system.

Best Way to export from Final Cut

Hi,
I have just completed work on a projct using extensively TIF files, with Audio. The client wants this rendered to the highest quality. There is music and voice overs with the images. What is the best method to export this so that I get the best quality.
Ultimately they want TV, H264 and 3GPP versions.
Any help would be appreciated.
Thanks.

Hi There
These questions are more FCP than compressor but I'll give it a shot. Firstly, to get the highest quality rendering out of FCP your need to make some changes in the Video Processing tab in the Sequence Settings section of the Sequence dropdown. Change 'Render in 8-bit YUV' to 'Render all YUV material in high-precision YUV' and Process Maximum White as: Super-White, and Motion Filtering Quality: Best
The quality you get is also dependant on what project preset you've used - the resolution of DV, for example is much less than 10-bit uncompressed.
To output for television the highest quality you can go id HD, then Digi-beta, then DVCPro, then DV, then SP Beta (this is not my field so I might be mistaken with this order a bit), but to output to any uncompressed format you need a capture card and codecs to do this like in my case the Decklink Extreme card (can't do HD - couldn't afford that card).
I have supplied TVCs to a satellite distribution company using high bitrate self contained mpeg files (9-11mbps) - this may be an option for you if the project is short enough.
Your other options of H264 and 3GPP are pretty straight forward - you can do these directly out of FCP using Quicktime export.
Hope all thats not too confusing.
Good luck

R12 Suppliers mass upload (what is the best way?)

Hi everyone,
I just want to make sure what is the best way to upload mass numbers of suppliers in R12. I have tried the Interface before. But is there a non technical way like Web ADI for example? I have tried the dataload but it is really not practical when I tried it.
Any advice would be appreciated

Hi,
To load any data from Excel into forms I use a freeware winparrot .
You have to launch the recorder (It record key and mouse events with screenshots), thereafter it can replay and loop using your Excel spreadsheet (For each record you can write results into the sheet).
I write macros in the test environment (blue forms) and it can recognize the field in production environment (green forms).
After recording you have to insert 4 functions:
To loop: Goto()
To read from Excel : XlsReadData()
To write into Excel : XlsWriteData()
To check 'One record saved...' : Ifshape() + move the red square over the expected message
that all.
Hope it helps.
Regards,
Delphine

What is the best way of compressing a large 3 hour final cut file

What is the best way of compressing a large 3 hour final cut file. I shot the play and it is in final cut and I rndered it so now I have a 22gb file that I need to put on a dvd . Any suggestions
Thanks
Macbook Pro

using Lion as operating system

Presuming your menus aren't complicated(include audio or video) the total size for the MPG-2 and AC3 files should probably be under 8GB for a dual layer disk. The inspector will tell you the estimated size. 2-pass varible bit rate would be recommended.
Trying to fit 3 hours on a DVD-5 will only bring very noticable quality hits. Compressor will let you change the average bit rate so that you can fit 174 minutes but trade-off isn't worth it in my opinion.
Be aware that dual-layer -R and +R media may not play well for everyone everywhere.
I presume you are not making 1000 or more copies? If you were replication could solve this.
One other alternative would be to break-up the show into two parts and spread it across two DVD-5s.

What is the best way to capture off of an AVCHD Camera in final cut?

Im kinda new to final cut pro so, please don't flame me. I was hoping to capture some extra footage on to my system through my AVCHD camcorder. And i want to know the best way to do so? Thanks for the answers.

I was not successful using mpegstreamclip for this. However, I found VoltaicHD from ShedWorx and it works great. Simply load all the clips you want to convert, assign a location and walk away. The result is beautiful HD .movs ready to be imported into FCP. I paid about $35 for it and it was well worth it.

Best way to export from Motion 2 into Final Cut Pro 5, working in DV?

I am working in DV in Final Cut Pro 5, and I would like to get the best quality from anything I bring in from Motion 2 into Final Cut Pro 5, I keep hearing use the Animation codec. I would like to hear from the Panel of experts.
Happy Thanksgiving,
Sebastian

The Best way is to round-trip from FCP. Or simply import the .motn file directly into FCP. If you require an alpha channel and for some reason don't want to bring the .motn file in, Animation with millions+ for the colors (+ is the alpha channel) will work, But if you just want straight DV, you should export a DV file.

I finally was successful in burning a CD of a slideshow I created in iPhoto, however, it is blurry. What is the best way to burn to a CD or DVD for clarity. Also, I realize if burned in iPhoto it will only be playable in iPhoto. Help! This is needed soon!

I finally was successful in burning a CD of a slideshow I created in iPhoto, however, it is blurry. What is the best way to burn to a CD or DVD for clarity. Also, I realize if burned in iPhoto it will only be playable in iPhoto. Help! This is needed soon for a wedding reception!

What version of iPhoto are you using? How do you plan to view the slideshow at the wedding reception, on a TV screen? If so then you will need to send the slideshow to iDVD and burn a disk from there.
If you're in iPhoto 11 and the slideshow was created in the slideshow mode and not from an album, then go to the Share menu and select iDVD. That will create a QT movie of the slideshow and import it into iDVD.
In iDVD select your theme and setup the menu as you'd like. If you want the movie to begin plahying immediately when the disk is inserted into the DVD player go into the Gallery mode and drag the movie into the Autostart bin at the left.
Click to view full size
If you want the movie to loop continuously go to the Advanced menu and select Loop.
Click to view full size
When you're finished setting upb the iDVD project save it as a disk image via the File ➙ Save as Disk Image menu option. This will allow you to check it with DVD Player before tryingto burn to disk. Mount the disk imnage by double clicking on it and launch DVD Player and play. If the movie plays as you want and everything is good you can burn to disk with Disk Utility at the slowest speed available to assure the best burn quality. Always use top quality media: Verbatium, Maxell or Taiyo Yuden DVD-R are the most recommended in these forums.
