Best way to start on capture with no timecode?

To my dismay, I quickly discovered that my cam didn't have its timecode set correctly. Therefore, when I captured, I got a HUGE continuous clip.
1. What is the best way to work with this mammoth clip? I'd love to be able to quickly and manually cut each scene change into separate clips, the way auto detect would have done, so it's more manageable. But if not, how should I start to manage the clip? I'm a former PC Pinnacle Studio amateur, so be gentle.
2. I tried adding a fade in on the front of the clip, and I can't lengthen it from 1/10 second, even if I try to drag over the right side. How do I make it X seconds?
Thanks, FCE community!

You can still make suclips if you like. Search for start/stop points manually or just break it up to say 5 minute intervals. eg:
Move the playhead in the Viewer 5 minutes in, hit the M key. Move the playhead another 5 mins, hit the M key and so on. You end up with a bunch of markers manually placed instead of the auto DV detection style, same deal.
Modify>Make Subclips using the method as already discussed then work with the subbies.
Due to FCE being non-destructive you can also put the one large clip in the Viewer.
Set an in/out point, then edit to the Timeline. Only the bit between the in/out point is edited into the Timeline.
Go back to the Viewer, set a new in/out point then edit to the Timeline on so on.
This method allows for handles so transitions will work OK. Using the subclip method you will need to set in/out points to each subclip if you wish to have transitions with them.
Personally, I'd use the later method.

  • Best way to start a new catalog for 2009 ?

    Hi,
    What's the best way to start a new catalog for the new year, with all the keywords and all the presets of the modules (without having to export all the folders) of previous catalog 2008 ?
    Thanks,
    Dominique

    Well there is a cost too in not being able to find all your images in a single step, and inconsistencies soon develop - eg a keyword is plural in one catalogue, singular in another. Speed or stability issues are not simply related to catalogue size, and I've seen decently-performing catalogues 50% bigger than yours (as well as slow ones of a few hundred images). Have you optimized the catalogue recently?
    But if you think it's a good idea to fragment control of your picture collection.... Presets will be carried over to a new catalogue as they belong to the machine (unless you have the save with catalogue preference turned on). Keywords can be moved via the Metadata > Export and Import Keywords command. If you have lots of collections and smart collections, then maybe make a copy of your existing catalogue and then remove all the items from it - making sure you don't trash them of course.

  • Best way to build a website with hundreds of pages

    What is the best way to build a website with hundreds of pages that include businesses in every city of the U.S. I will be building it in Dreamweaver CS4 and pulling the data from an MS Excel spreadsheet.
    I started building it by building the first page and then saving a new page with new data and so on.
    There must be a way to pull from the Excel doc without copying and pasting each page of data, and there must be a way to build this site smaller and easier to make changes when needed.
    Thanks

    You already have other people addressing the DB issues - so I will bring up the other... You are just saving a copy as a new page and then copy and pasting the changed content into  it?
    What you want to do is take the first page, once you have your design done - and save it as a template (file - save as - Dreamweaver Template).
    Then you want to select the areas (most likely the divs you have content in) that will have content changed, and select the div or p or whatever element... and go to Insert - Template Objects - Editible Region.
    Make sure you don't made editable the areas that are the primary design - such as a logo element, a header image, the navigation etc.  If you want to change those - you would do so by making the change on the template, and then it will automatically update all pages made based on that template.
    Once you are done setting up the templates - go to your new page and choose Modify - Templates - Apply Template To Page
    Select the template you just created (note it will be placed inside of a new folder titled "templates" automatically by Dreamweaver).
    Now, any of the areas you selected to add different content into will be selectable, and you can copy/paste or however you are doing so.
    Good luck

  • Best way to share a video with someone in another city...

    What is the best way to share a video with someone in another city?
    I know that FCPX contains all sorts of share options which create different resolutions and file sizes appropriate for different sites like YouTube, Facebook, and others.  But how to create the videos really isn't the problem.
    I want to know how to share them.  I'm creating videos that are ultimately to be viewed on the internet.  When I have a completed video, I want to show it to the person who it is for before I finalize it.  I know that if it very small, I could email it.  And if it's larger, I could use something like Dropbox.  But I don't necessarily want them to have a copy of it (though I could do that and put a watermark on it).
    I'd like to upload it to a site like YouTube or Vimeo, but those sites seem to be about sharing videos with a wide audience.  I know you can make a video private on YouTube, but, from what I've read, they permanently have the right to use the content, which I definitely don't want.
    So what's the best way to do this?  I'm going to have to do it regularly, so I'm willing to pay for a service if it assures privacy and does not try to assert some right to my content.
    I know there is an issue to be considered with people screen capturing content, but I'll use a watermark to lessen the chances of that.

    Hi Russ--
    I'll have to read through Vimeo's terms of service, but I have to think they're asserting some right to the content like YouTube does.
    Plus, these are commercial videos, and I don't think they allow that.  Of course, if they're private, I'm obviously not trying to sell anything.  But I have to think that it somehow is against their TOS since me posting a bunch of private videos that nobody can see really doesn't do them any good at all.

  • Need Best way to start learning Oracle 11g  DBA

    Hi.This is Tejaswi.
    I want to learn Oracle 11g DBA.I've downloaded all software's and Documentation for Orcl 11g R2. Now. i want to start Learning DBA. Can any one suggest me the best way to Start learning DBA?
    Please suggest me the good books For Oracle Architecture and SQL.......

    Hello Tejaswi,
    The advice you got about reading the Oracle Concepts and 2 Day DBA documentation is very good advice.
    I found that knowing some SQL*Plus and SQL Developer was also very helpful as, they both provide a way to interface with the database and try the things you read about. For SQL Plus, I used the book:
    Oracle SQL*Plus: The Definitive Guide, 2nd Edition
    By Jonathan Gennick
    Publisher : O'Reilly
    ISBN : 0-596-00746-9 I openly recommend it. It is easy to read, the book is very well thought out, it covers what you really need to know (and more too). The author explains the subjects very well. I would definitely learn some SQL Plus and SQL developer before getting into the 2 Day DBA document (make those 2 days about 7 days each if not more).
    To learn SQL, I "sort of" used (I say "sort of" because I only read some parts of it available online and at the local bookstore):
    Oracle SQL by Example
    By Alice Rischert
    Publisher: Prentice Hallit probably has more SQL than you'd need as a DBA but, it is an excellent book you may want to consider.
    If you are starting from scratch, as I did, you'll find that you need to learn multiple things at the same time. I believe SQL Plus is the best place to start, along with possibly the Concepts document. That will give you a base to build upon.
    HTH,
    John.

  • Please suggest me the best way to start learning about Oracle Purchasing.

    Hi,
    I have started reading about Oracle Procurement. I have an over all idea of how ERP functions. Anyhow I am like a fresher to ORACLE APPS. Can you pleasesuggest me what is the best way to start learning about Oracle Purchasing.
    Is it is throuhg user guides or some thing else..... can you please specify the references also.......
    Thank you so much.

    If you have a sponsorship, I would recommend taking classes with Oracle University. The other resources are documentation, functional and technical depending on what your interests are.
    If you can load Vision database or access vision database (I think solutionbeacon offers a free account to login and play around), that will be another resource as well.
    As you learn, join as much user groups like this one, and review all questions and answers in the discussions to understand and learn more.
    Hope this helps.

  • Sysctl.conf - best way to start at boot?

    Hi all! 
    My arch box serves as firewall/router to other boxes on my home network. Obviously, I have to use NAT and net.ipv4 forwarding set to 1 (via sysctl.conf file).
    My question is: what's the best way to start sysctl at boot, so those kernel variables are set (forwarding, syncookies etc.)?
    Currently, I've:
    - put my little script with "sysctl -p" line in rc.d directory;
    - call that script from rc.conf;
    - sysctl.conf is in /etc .
    It works... but, I wander what is the better/proper way of doing it.

    Thanks aCoder.
    With some other distros, it would be done automatically (sysctl at boot). User just needs to set values of the sysctl.conf file.
    With Arch, both steps are manual - and I didn't know any better way. In other hand, that's what Arch is about, eh!
    Cheers,

  • Best way to fill a datagird with A LOT of data?

    What's the best way to fill a datagrid with A LOT of data.
    I'm talking about something like 10,000 rows. Can the datagrid
    handle it? No screen is large enough to show 10,000 records..... is
    there a way to load 50, and then when a user scrolls down it loads
    the next 50 etc...?

    Right. It's not recommended that you load 10,000 rows into
    the datagrid at once. Using the data management service with paging
    enabled is a much better solution. See the Configuring the Data
    Management Service chapter in the Flex2 Developer's Guide for more

  • The best way to start with JDeveloper

    Can anybody tell me what the best way is to start using JDeveloper? Besides Oracle Manuals, are there other ones? Thanks for responding!!

    It would be nice if you can specify what is your background. Which tools/languages you used before?
    If you don't know Java pick up a Java book that will teach you the basics and the syntax.
    A good free online book is : http://www.mindview.net/Books/TIJ/
    Then use JDeveloper to do the code samples in the book.
    Use this tutorial to understand the basic of the JDeveloper IDE:
    http://www.oracle.com/technology/obe/obe1013jdev/10131/introide/introjdevide.htm
    Then once you got the basics you should probably try out the ADF tutorial to see how you build a complete Web application that interacts with a database:
    http://www.oracle.com/technology/products/adf/learnadf.html
    This page also contains the ADF Developer Guide book.
    In addition the JDeveloper home page has links to more demos tutorials and how-to's:

  • What is the best way to start "fresh" with iPhoto '08?

    I am running iPhoto '08 on a mid-2007 iMac. When I set up the machine, I moved all the photos from my PC to the Mac retaining the existing directory structure that I had on the PC. I then imported all the pictures into iPhoto with no problems.
    Unfortunately, the other person who uses the Mac needs to be able to use the directory structure as it existed on the PC (that structure involves several subfolders with specific names etc.), and it appears that iPhoto is not designed to work that way. I know the photos can still be manipulated in the folders I imported, but then I run the risk of at best, being out of synch with iPhoto and at worst, corrupting iPhoto completely.
    That said, what I would like to do is delete or remove the current iPhoto library (or whatever iPhoto accesses; not the whole application unless necessary) and then selectively import photos to iPhoto. That way, the other user can access the photos in the familiar folder structure and manipulate them at will without disturbing the iPhoto db and, once photos are edited etc. and ready for primetime, they can be imported to iPhoto to gain the advantages of displaying using Front Row etc.
    My question is what is the best way to achieve what I am looking for? Just backup then delete the iPhoto pkg file in the HD/Library/Receipts folder? Uninstall the entire application and start over?
    All assistance greatly appreciated.

    ETRA
    Welcome to the Apple Discussions.
    You don't need to re-install iPhoto, just change the library - and you may not even need to do that.
    1. You can easily recreate your Directory structure in iPhoto. Simply start at the bottom of your structure and drag a folder of images to the Source (or left hand) pane of the iPhoto Window. iPhoto will create an Album of the same name. The create your enclosing folders (File -> New Folder) and drag the albums to it. This way you can quickly recreate what you have/
    2. The other user of the files can access them directly via the iPhoto Window or a Media Browser such as THIS. The advantage of this system is that your directory structure is available to them ina convenient and recognisable way. They can then drag the pics from the iPhoto Window / Media Browser to the app they as the need. (A whole lot faster than fumbling around in Folder after Folder etc, plus the advantage of keyword searching.)
    3. Is this necessary for working with an editor? You can set Photoshop (or any image editor) as an external editor in iPhoto. (Preferences -> General -> Edit Photo: Choose from the Drop Down Menu.) This way, when you double click a pic to edit in iPhoto it will open automatically in Photoshop or your Image Editor, and when you save it it's sent back to iPhoto automatically. Btw this is the only way that edits made in iPhoto will be visible in iPhoto.
    4. Finally, if you do wish to go as you described: Simply trash the iPhoto Library from the Pictures Folder. Start iPhoto and it will create an new empty library. If you wish to recover the files from the Library first, then Right Click on the iPhoto Library and go 'Show Package Contents'. Your files are in the Originals Folder.

  • What is best way to start up to secure processes with encrypted passwords

    Please redirect me if this should be in another Java forum ...
    I want to have 2 Java applications running on a secure server. Both contain a password in memory that needs to be kept highly secure. Also, I want each application to be able to restart the application if one fails (I already am doing this with other appications). Finally, I want assurances when an app is restarted, the source is identical to when processes were first brought up manually.
    Essentially, here is what I'm thinking about, but there's probably a better way:
    Items Required:
    App1 Code
    App1 Password
    App1 Code Hash
    App2 Code
    App2 Password
    App2 Code Hash
    When a server is initially brought up, App1 Code is started manually by Admin. App1 will prompt for App1 Password, and App2 Password (Admin will enter these manually). App1 will also display App1 Code Hash and App2 Code Hash. Admin will verify the Hashes match the expected value. App1 will automatically start App2. Upon initially being started, App2 will begin listening on SSLServerSocket. App1 will connect to this socket, and pass App2 both App1 and App2 Passwords, as well as App1 and App2 Code Hashes. At this point, both Apps are running, and both will have both Passwords and Code Hashes in memory. If either App fails, the other App will catch it (through a periodic process check). Before restarting, the Hash of the Code will be rechecked (of the App being restarted), and the Passwords/Hashes will be repassed to the restarted App through SSL session.
    Any holes here?
    Any better ways of implementing?
    Thanks!

    First, you should have to Apple IDs
    Second, you must have a Wi-Fi connection.
    Facetime Calls
    To add them go to address book and put in the Apple ID username under email.
    Go to facetime, click the contacts button on the bottom. Click the name they gave them. Click the email you used for their Apple ID. It should start a call with the device hooked up with that Apple ID.
    Set-Up Facetime
    Go to settings. Click facetime. Sign-in with the Apple ID you are using. When someone calls that address it should give you a notification.
    Texting
    If you are getting a new iPod you will be getting with iOS 5 wich includes iMessage to other iOS 5 devices. Just click iMessage at the home screen and type in the name of the person with the Apple ID you want to text OR type in the Apple ID you want to text. You should start a convorsation with the iDevice hooked up to that Apple ID.
    Set-Up iMessage (a.k.a. Texting)
    Go to settings. Click iMessage. Sign-in with the Apple ID you are using. When someone texts that address it will notify you.
    Hope I helped!
