*** Best way to SHOW my HDV footage?

I need to show my HDV footage the best way possible this weekend. Here's my current set-up and plan. Could anyone let me know if it's a good plan or if they have any suggestions to improve the quality. Ultimately I need to be able to show the best quality possible without incurring much expense beyond what I already have. My main question is whether I should play my project from the timeline in FCP (risky) or what the next best quaality output option would be. For example, would exporting it as a full-quality Quicktime Movie be the best option or burn an "HD-DVD" DVD and play it off my tower. Which would be the best option?
Equipment:
Powermac G5 DP 2.7 with 4 gb ram
32" Philips LCD TV
The Plan:
To bring the G5 tower in and play the HDV footage directly to my LCD tv via DVI (out) and HDMI (in). Native resolution of my LCD TV is 1366x768 so it looks better than playing it on most plasmas.
Thoughts? Suggestions?

The sequence I just worked on was almost all slow motion, which seems to be rather difficult with HDV and the basic FCP Speed filter. I have been experimenting with lots of Quicktime Movie exports and Compressor settings to get a decent anamorphic SD DVD. Nothing comes anywhere near the Print To Tape of my HDV footage. I'm viewing everything on a Sony 32" HD Plasma. Which by the way is not Native 1080i, as many HD TV's are not. Just got Sony's new SXRD HD TV which is native 1080i, but haven't tested on that yet. (either SD DVD or HDV from camera)
I don't know how long your sequence is, but dump it over and over to tape and run that. Assuming it's OK to rewind every 60 minutes.

Best way to show the following data?

Hi Experts,
I am designing a validation solution in java webdynpro.
I need to process 1000 records against certain logic and need to show the errors in the interface..Each record has more than 30 columns. I would like to get your suggestions on,
1. How to display 1000 records with nearly 30 columns? A normal table with scrolling is enough or i need to split into 2 or 3 tabs based on some grouping and show these 1000 records?
2. What would be the best way to show the error messages on these records?, Is it advisable to show the error messages on a tooltip? Is it possible to show a tooltip for each record in a table?
Any suggestions would be really helpful for my work...
Thanks in advance..
Regards,
Senthil

Hi,
Depending on your data would use a TableColumnGroup to group your 30 columns under a common header (displaying only the most significant data)
Expanding the row would then show all 30 columns' data
To display the errors, I would display the common header rows in bold red to make them stand out from the non-erroneous rows.
Furthermore, I would add a toggle button, to alternate between 'all records' and 'erroneous records only'

What is the best way to import and export footage from the 5D Mark II?

Hello,
I've just finished shooting what I am considering to be my directorial masterpiece. Shot it on the Canon 5D (1080p, 24fps), and the footage looks amazing. Now I am ready to start editing and have been using premiere lately, but I have yet to figure out the proper pipeline. I want to know the best way to retain resolution before I delve into this project.
My questions:
1) What is the best way to start a new project and import the footage without having to render whilst editing, so as to retain all resolution and originality of the source footage?
2) What is the best way/ codec/ format to export this same footage once editing is complete so as to retain that crisp 1080p for which the 5D is so recognized?
3) What is the best way/ codec/ format to import and export/ render between premiere and after effects? I am speaking mostly of vfx and color correction. I also have some 30fps footage that I intend to slow down in AE and then import into premiere.
I know this is pretty broad, but as a solo filmmaker I really need someone's guidance. I rarely ever finish my films with the same, crisp look as the footage. I need pipeline help, and really appreciate it!

1. Follow the advice above. Also use the Media Browser to import the footage in case you have spanned media files. Import files with the Media Browser.
2. It largely depends on what you wish to ouput to: Blu-ray, web, etc. This FAQ gives the best answer: What are the best export settings?
3. Use the Replace with Adobe After Effects Composition function.

Best way to show a hierarchical tree report in APEX 4.2

I have a hierarchical query spanning four levels over two tables. The query works great and also includes hierarchical sum columns (i.e. the parent shows the sum of all children) using functions.
I'm wondering what the best way to display this data to users is?
At the moment I'm thinking I would have a collection holding my report with an extra 'show' column. Then I would include HTML to set the correct show/hide values and refresh the report when a node is clicked. I feel this would probably work but it can't be the best way.
I stripped down my query to the columns needed (no sum columns) and the APEX tree regions work nicely for this. Is there any alternative jquery plugin or anything that people have experience with that will give me the native 4.2 tree structure whilst also allowing me to display extra columns with links?
If I need to provide any more info just let me know!

The best you can do is to concatenate multiple columns into single with some separator. I have not tested give a try it might resolve your issue.

Best way to show movie release date by year under "Movies" section

I am a proud owner of a new 2nd gen Apple TV. It does everything I hoped. I am using IDentity 2 to capture the movie Metadata and import into a new m4v file. All data is trnsferred into iTunes. The question: What is the best way to have the release year show in Apple TV? I currently have a description, actor, director, time, etc showing. The Metadata is taken from IMDB, so the release date is listed in the video description when I "get info" in iTunes. As you can imagine, I don't want to manually input the release year in every movie file name. Any suggestions?

No asnswer. I can't find an answer on the web either. How many more years till Apple fixes this?

What is the best way to show/hide n number of columns ?

Hi Andy,
Yes, I replaced the code calling the same things in a loop to one loop getting the Table reference once and I build an array of column numbers at the time the report is built so I don't have to get the column number each time....
it is a couple of seconds faster in about a 30 second response time. It will have to do it for now, no more time unless you see something in this new code...
Thank you! Bill

Best way to show a "kiosk type" video done with final cut pro. Any ideas?

Hi,
Was hoping to get some pro opinions (no pun intended) on the best way to send my edited final cut vid (png format for super clear text) to 32 inch monitors that will play them in the "store". We have 4 tvs, and they all need to show the video, and the sound (music) accompanying the video. The video is around 8 hours long (bunch of edited video clips to music) and will have to loop somehow. It's much too long for a dvd, as I want to keep the quality primo, so I was considering either a video ipod, or an actual computer. Just the ipod is so mall and frail (lol not really but around the people I work with it would be), and a computer might be overkill. Any ideas or opinions would be highly appreciated.
Thanks.

Best way to show multiple copies of same data to different users

Hi,
I am new to configuring and using Oracle. I have an oracle db installed on a server machine and I loaded it with a set of data. I have multiple users who would all like to access the tables but they need to see unique copies of the data.
What is my best approach? Should I create a new database instance? If so what is the best way to copy data to the new instance?
Any help is greatly appreciated.

Each developer should copy from the 'base' schema to his own the tables he requires to do his work. Give each developer select privileges on the 'base schema' tables so he cannot change them. This way, the developer can refresh his data as needed on his own. Public synonyms for the base schema tables will enable developers to only have to copy tables they wish to modify.
Creating a separate fully loaded schema for each developer is going to create a never ending load of work for you as developers will be constantly asking you to refresh their schemas. Alternatively, you could create an export of production on a schedule and let the developers do the import to their schema when they wish.
Basically, these folks are developers and, IMNSHO, should be managing their own development schemas.

Best way to show data of multiple lists - List Dashboard

Hi,
I am using SP 2013. I have around 10 custom lists, in which users add items. When a item is added a custom Visual studio approval workflow is triggerred.
I am trying to create a visual webpart (VS 2012) , which will show the items that the logged-in user has created under each of the list. I want to show the data in a list-by-list manner (kind of a dashboard). Each of the list has different kind of columns.
Which would be ideal way to achieve this? Should it be a dynamic table or a dynamic SPGridView or is there any other way to achieve this?
There would be multiple entries the user would have added under each list. So a paging would help.
Thanks

Hi,
According to your post, my understanding is that you wanted to display all the items that the logged-in users had created under each of the list in the site.
I don’t think it’s a good idea to display all the items that the logged-in users had created under each of the list in the site in a visual web part.
As we all known, different list has different fields, it will be different to display different list fields in a visual web part.
If you still want to use the visual web part, I recommend you use the common fields that all the lists contained, suach as the Title, Createdy by, etc.
Then query all the lists in the site by the created by field to compare with the current user.
As a workaround, I recommend you use a page to display all the items that the logged-in users had created in the site.
You can create a custom view based on current user for the lists, then add the lists web part in a page with the custom view.
Now the page would only show the current users items.

What’s more, you can also use the target audience to achieve it.

Best way to show webpages in AE

Hi folks... this is my first post here.
I am a recent convert to AE having spent most of the last 5yrs glued to Premier.
I have been asked to create a sequence that shows a webpage on the right and a panel containng text on the left.
I need to move around the webpage showing points of interest in time with a voiceover.
I can do this in Premier quite easily but I think AE would make a better job of it.
Question is can anyone suggest ways to improve the graphics, I'm currently just working with bitmap screen grabs but they are'nt great close up.
or? is there a completely different/better way of doing this?
thx

Open the screen grabs in Photoshop and enlarge the with "Image Size..." Enable "Resample Image" and set it to "nearset Neighbor" and enlarge width and height with 500 per cent.
Save as a new file and import into AE. You can now get close and keep the screens sharply pixelated.
If you are outputting for broadcast, add the "Reduce Interlace Flicker" set to at least 1.0 on an Adjustment layer.

I have a newer Sony FS100, What is the best way I can get my footage into a workable format?

It does not appear as an available camera during import mode, and when I try to import my video files any other way they are dimmed out and i can't even click on them. I should hope there will be support in the near future for this camera but until then, is there another application that anyone can suggest that will let me at least work with the video I have?

Nick -
This was my first "big" problem for the last 3 days with iMac and FCProX and my new Sony FS100. To make a long story short: Buy the latest versions of ClpWare amd install it (se end of this note). I got it yesterday after a lot of not-useful inreaction - an then some *very useful interaction* - on this forum.... (and solution came after I began writing to the makers, Divergent.com) - they knew IMMEDIATELY what was to be the solution for me - and told me/lined me to a (new?) version available that, when I got it, fixed all my SONY FS100U import / AVCHD/MTS problems. I was really overjoyed.
To get there took almost all day. But I'm a giant step closer, now. Honestly. That is STEP ONE: get the proper version to import your files...it gets MUCH easier to work with the product once you have the native import issue resolved. Lots...
So, I imported everything from the hi-speed SanDisk 32Gb card, finally, and in beautiful quality, just using the defaut "REWRAP" settings. (I have yet to try to import via the Pro Res or ProRes Proxy settings - but mabe today I will try...time and ENERGY permitting). I feel I need a day off from all of this, completely, after 3 days of angst and disappointment...but ultimately all which lead to a GREAT outcome. So for me it's [next] onto STEP 2: experimenting more with the product features, mastering more of them; outputting the size clips w/effects. etc and quality I want.
This IS a different animal. But I still suppport it and its advent.
One thing at a time...it is a huge learning curve since I am actually working with 3 new technologies all at once (actually more - that have nothing to do with FCProX video, directly...just indirectly....which I won't get into) - but again, below is the link to a FAST middleware transcoder (ClipWrap) that will get your AVCHD files into your Mac. Hopefully it's a fast Mac.
I benchmarkd yesterday on both my Intel core5 iMac (very fast) vs. a slower MacBook Pro Core 2 Duo (?) - both have 8 Gb DRMM; anyway - while the import worked just as well on either machine - seemilngly just about as quickly on the MBPro, too...the playback from that laptop wasn't as [quite] perfect after rendering a clip, out with defaut settings (to keep things simple, for now)....but that ALSO may be because I decided to play devil's advocte while I was at it and imported/exported both the same AVCHD files to an Firewire 800 external HD on the MBPro, and secondly, re-imported. re-rendered and re-expoerted same clip to the MBPro *internal drive*...just to see what might happen in quality or playback speeds of a re-render. While both worked, the playback (via the "422 and H.264 codec output" experiments I did with the same, short 1.06 min. clip - but with NO EFFECTS/transitions with that one, (unlike the iMac verison wich I loaded down, every few seconds, with numerous transitions) - the 1.06 min. test clips WERE, not surprisingly, different in playback. The AVCHD imported to and exported from the MBPro internal HD was a bit more "acceptable" in quality...but the import/export from my much faster iMac (internal HD) tops everything. Hands down. If I do get a Thunderbolt machine...which I MIGHT, God willing and back account still permitting...I hope that new TB 15" fully-qoutfittd MacBook Pro I now have my eye on will result in still-better throughput - and NOT introduce a whole new layer of problems. God - I hope not...then there is LION coming...sheesh! What [new] problems might THAT indroduce???
One needs to experiment a lot here, but once you are able to get the files in from the cam (finally, and easily) - things start to get way better. After that...it's the learning curve of what input / output settings/decsions suit your needs. That is the NEXT BIG curve ahead...for me at least.
I really do like FDProX a lot..a REAL lot...but obviously, like allof us, I am still learing it.
There is a lot to learn, obviously..just read along in this forum! FCProX has its own big "internal" curve to master, when it comes to details.
I found and have been able to use the Precision Editor.. got a first-ever finally and easily) import of several AVCHD native clips "edited"...but got jumbled up - somewhere - (?) in the Precision Editor - and over-duped/dubbed some of the part of the clips I cut up to see what would happen. So the end results with that clp were messed up to say the least...but it did output beautifully...I am still confused about the auto/background renderering and o-going "transcoding and analysis" issue....I sotp it and render out to QT format anyway..it seems to work...tho I id end up with the last moments of the PRditor version misssing the last few seconds...which I did OT deliberatelu splice out and delete!!
Just plain old trial and error...now. Obviously I did something wrong (easy to do in a program as new as FCProX)....but again : I have YET to print out the manual or even read a page of it. So for that - considering how far I've gotten (a "surface scratch" only, still, to be honest) - it's a testament to what the program DOES do by iteself for you that helps you SOME with that learning curve...it's refining the editing/final cut output process for me, now - getting past the kinks or not-obvious pitfalls...I get there...we all will and we'll help one another along....and getting an output that looks and works the way I/we planned for in the final analysis.
We're all stil learning here. Esp. me. I am out of energy. I've been asleep for the last 6 hours...and am headed back to bed. In 10 minutes!
Here is the link to purchase the apparently tweaked and PROPER ClipWare version ($50 - worth it!) - and comment from Divergent; as noted: so, in review - I purchased it yesterday, that solved my AVCHD 1080p60 FS100 SONY cam/raw clip import issues and SAVED THE DAY - for now:
(https://store.divergentmedia.com) - "you'll receive a serial number which will unlock it after you buy it. It'll automatically update to the final release of 2.4.2 when we release that (after Lion ships)", from what I was told by Divergent.
Best of luck,
Mike

Best FCP settings for 1920x1080 HDV footage @24fps

...shooting film on small community river with a Canon XH-A1...and want to work with cinematic style "beauty shots" So far I'm assuming that import presets in FCP should be set at AppleProRes 422(HQ)...although this taxes my processor...I will be doing simple graphics and project will be about 20 minutes in length. I'd love some opinions on what to watch for and how best to proceed from anyone who is familiar and has worked with this type of set up. Thanks a mil.

Best way to sync multi camera footage and audio?

Hi guys,
I know a lot of people use PluralEyes to sync clips in time. However, is there an easy way to do this without external software? I am missing something in Premiere? Did Adobe really not think of making this? I would imagine after all this time, this feature would be included.
What are your guys' preferred methods?
Thanks guys,

And, yes, I did search the forum before hand.
Oh, and another thing I should mention:
My DSLR (canon 5d Mark 2) Actually records the DATE and the TIME of when I hit the record button. This is located under the "Date Created" meta data which is viewable in the windows media browser(explorer). AND, it also says "Date Modified" to indicate when I stopped recording. This is very useful,
but is this a good way I can multiple cams synced in time?
Thanks!
Dave
