Best way to do video with MIDI keyboard input

A year or so ago I bought a TASCAM digital interface (US-144), good mike and a Yamaha P-70. Used this setup with GarageBand 08 with great success to produce female voice lead over MIDI piano. Also recently checked out iMovie 09 to produce a YouTube video using only an audio file and iPhoto pictures with Ken Burns effect.
Now I want to find the best way to produce a video of a piano performance using the MIDI input, rather than the recorded audio. Should I pursue iMovie or GarageBand, and if GarageBand (09), biggest question is how to get video that is synched correctly with the MIDI input. I could use the built-in cam on my MacBook Pro 13" for starters just to see if it worked. Suggestions appreciated.

say i took just the vocal from a track (lionel all
night long for example) and the instrumental just
music from like queen and in logic put the vocal over
the instrumental and created my own lionel/queen
remix how would i get the video to sync with that
when i came to fcp?know its a case of cuting and
editing it but if my vocal had to have been its tempo
increased to fit the instrumental in fcp i would have
to speed the video up to get it in sync?
sorry scott, you really need to spell things out like this for the middle-agers on the board like me. i don't know about the integration with logic but i would assume there's a way to use a timecode-based timeline instead of a beats-based timeline? base your clips on timecode and fcp can speed adjustments to it's clips up to a point. you may need to look for something like twixtor.
there are more knowledgeable folk here that have far more comprehensive knowledge on this than i and hopefully they'll contribute their voices.

What is the best way to format Videos for ipod touch?

What is the best way to format Videos for ipod touch? Used Quicktime Pro/ Export (iPhone setting). Videos aren't as crisp as downloaded Videos. Compressors /ipod video Setting also looks crapy (with bitrate med & High). What should I use?

Visualhub is a transcoder with multiple input and output formats with specific setting for iPod,iPod touch. Costs around $19-used to work great but recently everything I convert suffers audio crash than closes out the player. Hopefully they will fix it.
Elgato H.264 hardware transcoder is $99 dollars(USB stick that plugs in to Mac)-speeds up encoding of any file quicktime can handle, settings for apple tv, iphone/touch, ipod,Sony PSP. Worth the cost if you transcode a lot of video for the Touch or own an elgato HD tuner. Files work flawlessly and look great.
Mpeg streamclip-free. Works great, has presets or can customize the output.

Best way to manage video

hi, i just got a video iPod (30GB) for my birthday and i want to know the best way to put video's on my iPod. i have many of my video's in a quicktime format on my external hard drive therefore i do not want them in iTunes, but i do what them on my iPod?
thanks

Hi Macmanman,
(i have many of my video's in a quicktime format )
That doesn't guarantee that they will play on your ipod - they should be in mp4 format for an ipod to recognise them. If they are not you can open them in Quicktime and export them to that format or there are various third party applications that will convert to iPod friendly formats - 'Viddyup' 'VisualHub' and 'iSquint' which is free - you can get it here:
http://www.isquint.org/
(i do not want them in iTunes, but i do what them on my iPod?)
They have to be in iTunes in order for your iPod to sync with them - this doesn't mean that you have to move them from your external drive, however.
if you open iTunes and choose preferences from the menu, under Advanced deselect 'copy files to iTunes music folder when adding to library' This will add the movies to iTunes but leave the files on your ex drive. Remember to change the preference back when your done.

Whats the best way to stream videos?

whats the best way to stream video thru plumtree portal?What all it requires? (technology/application/server/plumtree development?)

Hello Kuljit,
For the windows platform you could set up Windows Media services. It can be configured to play all sorts of media files. I created a "radio station" portlet that multiple channels and from the portal I could select a drop down and the station would play that stream. I would make sure that media services are not being gatewayed and that anyone that can see your portal can see the videos. Here is my html that I made a portlet out of: This will not show the video window. You can increase the size of the object to show the video window with controls. Check out MSDN online for configuration of the <object>
<FORM NAME="streamForm"> <INPUT NAME="btnPlay" TYPE="Button" VALUE="Play" onclick="MediaPlayer1.controls.Play();"> <INPUT NAME="btnStop" TYPE="Button" VALUE="Stop" onclick="MediaPlayer1.controls.stop();"> <select name="musicGroup" onChange="changeStream()"> <option value="">-- Select --</option> <option value="barenakedladies">Barenaked Ladies</option> <option value="pinkfloyd">Pink Floyd</option> </select> </FORM>
<OBJECT CLASSID="clsid:6BF52A52-394A-11D3-B153-00C04F79FAA6" ID="MediaPlayer1" height="0" width="00"> <PARAM NAME="Name" VALUE="MediaPlayer1"> <param name="uiMode" value="invisible"> <PARAM NAME="TransparentAtStart" Value="true"> <PARAM NAME="AutoStart" Value="true"> <PARAM NAME="AnimationatStart" Value="false"> <PARAM NAME="ShowControls" VALUE="0"> <PARAM NAME="autoSize" Value="false"> <PARAM NAME="displaySize" Value="0"></OBJECT><script language="javascript">function changeStream(){ df = document.streamForm; if(df.musicGroup.selectedIndex != 0) { MediaPlayer1.url = "mms://MBRUCELT-W3k/"+df.musicGroup[df.musicGroup.selectedIndex].value; } }</script>
This works for the latest version of Window Media Player. The mms:// in my script is a call to Windows Media Services. That is the part that should be accessible from outside the portal.

Best way to share analytics with 3rd party?

What's the best way to share analytics with a third party (our client in this case)? Setup a new DPS user and restrict access to just analytics (is that even possible)? Is there some other software out there to accomplish this? Perhaps something that scrapes itunesconnect? Basically, our client wants sales numbers. I'd like to go a step further and provide content stats.
Any ideas?
Thanks,

What is the best way to upload videos to your PC.

What is the best way to download videos from your iphone to your PC.

There's no "best" way per se, and there's differences depending on what application created the video. If you used the standard Camera app to take the video, simply connect your phone to your computer, after iTunes syncs you can close iTunes or minimize it, and open My Computer (Windows XP) or Computer (Windows Vista/7), and in the folder window you'll see a removable device called iPhone with a camera icon. When you open that window, you'll see the contents of your Camera Roll where you can cut or copy the item, then paste onto Desktop or into another folder. Other applications have different methods. Some save to the Camera Roll so you can move those the same way, others, like iMovie, you have to first "share" the video to your Camera Roll after the film is complete, then remove the same way. Other apps, like Silent Film for example, set up an FTP connection to your LAN and you retrieve the video via an FTP client (or a web browser as web browsers can log into FTP connections).
Hope that helps.

Best ways to embed Video??

What is teh best way to embed video in DW? Quicktime, WMV,
streaming? I have tried a few with varing results across different
browsers...
And suggestions - I have seen some very cool interfaces out
there but sadly the source for the player interfaces I cannot
find..
Any help would be appreciated..
I need the ability to set auto play or not - and other
options for video in the browser window or at least in DW.
Thanks in advance

If you have the entire Studio, I would definitely convert to
Flash Video and
use the DW Insert/Flash Video dialogue to insert it. You have
a choice of
skins and you can set a lot of options .. surely the ones you
mention. Best
part is Flash Video is crystal clear with the ON2 codec in
Flash 8 and you
won't believe how small the file is, compared to the other
options.

What is the best way to stream sports with Apple TV

What is the best way to stream sports with apple TV

Your question is a little too broad. Hard to know what sports you are talking about.
If you have a newer Mac, you can use airplay to mirror anything on your Mac to your apple tv. Or use the ESPN app.
But a lot of sports just can't be streamed as they are available, though I bet this year sees a lot of new livestreams on sports on YouTube or Ustream.

The Best Way to engage InDesign with InCopy

Hello Mr./Ms.
I have some question about collaborating between InDesign with InCopy. My question is which one the best way to engage InDesign with InCopy, the way number one or number two?
Usually, I make assignment first in InDesign, and I put that file (.inca) on a server. So the editor can open the inca file from server. Instead of Editor, I take the incx file from server.
The Editor directly open Indd File from server, so I'm not necessary to create assignment file.
I hope someone can help to solve this my problem. Thank you very much for attention.
note: What server and network requirement for best result InDesign and InCopy workflow?
Best Regards,
Bambang Damayanto
[email protected]

I respectfully disagree; I think assignments are in most cases (not all) more trouble that they're worth. For your local work, continue w/INDD files only. It just makes things simpler.
When an editor wants to work on something off-site, the designer can make an assignment on the fly for them. It could even be the entire document as one large assignment. Since the stories are already exported, you just need to make the assignment (Create New Assignment from the Assignment panel menu) and the drag/drop the linked stories to that assignment. Other people can still open the INDD file but they won't be able to edit the stories that were packaged for the remote editor.

What is the best way to clean a white Apple keyboard?

What is the best way to clean a white Apple keyboard?

Take the batteries out if applicable, and use a very slightly damped lint-free cloth. Be very careful not to get any actual liquid into it. A brush would also be useful for cleaning between the keys: if you want to get fancy you can buy mini-vacuum cleaners for this, such as this one.

Best way to export data with r.t. prompts and have dense dim mbrs on rows?

Hi All-
What is the best way to export data with Run time prompts out of Essbase?
One thought was to use Business Rules with run time variables and DATAEXPORT command, but I came across at least one limitation where I cannot have months (part of dense Time Periods dimension) on rows.
I have only two dense dimensions: Accounts and Time Periods and I need both of these on rows. This would come handy when user enter Start and End month and year for data to be exported e.g. If start period is Feb 2010 and end is Jan 2011, I get data for all months in 2010 and 2011.

Best way to control voltage with my code?

I need to be able to control current and voltage of a power supply. What would be the best way to implement this with my code? I realize that I need to use a DAQmx Start and Stop task. I *think* I would like the task to start when the user runs the program. The voltage and current should be 0 when I start it, or a really low number.
Currently, the program I am working off of using TraditionalDAQ. It uses 'AO Write One Update.vi' to update the voltage and current.
How can I use DAQmx to achieve the same? Is it possible to also have the DAQmx code in an event structure in the same way?
Can I do this in my event structure, in a new event? The code below shows my code. There are two loops, the bottom one handles acquisition and logging. The top one handles the events.

There are an excellent series of NI Tutorials on DAQmx. Not that they are easy to find, but start here: DAQmx White Papers. This is an especially useful White Paper: The Top 10 DAQmx Functions.
Something that also helps a lot is to configure your device using MAX (and use MAX to run it to be sure it is working correctly). Once you have it configured, save it as a Task, which encapsulates all of the "picky details" (such as channel names/numbers, sampling rates, clock sources, etc.). When you go to write your code, simply right-click on the Start Task VI and create a constant, expand the Constant (which should show you MAX's Tasks), and choose the Task you just created. No need for numerous confusing DAQmx Configuration VIs.

Best way to bundle JavaHelp with application

What is the best way to bundle JavaHelp with an application....
At present I have to run the application that uses JavaHelp as follows
java -classpath ;lib/jhall.jar HelpMenu
Is there a better way? so that when the application is moved to a client machine the classpath to the javaHelp jhall.jar does not have to be supplied as above?
Cheers :)

If you don't want to specify the classpath you can
1> either create a batch/shell script with lauches the app with the appropriate classpath
2> You jar your app and specify the classpath in your jars's MANIFEST.MF file like this.
Main-Class: main class name which will launch the app
Class-Path: jhall.jar
The above entries assume jhall.jar is in the same dir as your main jar. You can put more jars in the classpath above by separating them with space.
With this the app can be just lauched by typing: java -jar filaname.jar
