Can I choose which Video Card SpeedGrade uses by default?

I have a Nvidia GTX 480 which has one monitor on it that I use for color correction.
I also have a GTX 275 that I have 2 older monitors on it for extra realestate.
When I use speed grade it appears to be utilizing my gtx 275 by default acording to the display setting in SpeedGrade.
I want it to utilize the GTX480. Can anyone help me out with this?
Also I have 2 monitors horizontal and my 480 color correction monitor is in Portrait mode. Speed Grade doesn't seem to be very custom workspace friendly. Can I set it up like I can in Premiere? Currently I can't use dual monitor correctly as it doesn't work well on the to landscape monitors. All the dimensions are wrong for filling the monitor screen.
Any advice for setting SG up?
Thanks.

Hey Paul,
I would typically use the "0" button on the numpad for easy comparison between grade / no grade. If you want to be more granular, use the dot (or colon on some other languages) on the numpad to disable the current layer active in the layer stack.
The split screen option can be really handy once you add a second playhead.
Check this for some more info:

If you want a more traditional A/B split between graded / ungraded footage, I suggest to simply create a copy of the entire timeline (you can do so by using the drag handle, then hold down CTRL and simply move the mouse up a bit beyond the current timeline. Then release it - you got a full blown copy. Sounds harder than it is once you've don it once )
You can then turn off grading for the second timeline.
This is also rather useful if you want to compare online vs. offline data (to ensure you got all edits, correct shots onlined etc.).
Hope this is helpful.

One other question: I am trying to run splitscreen or side by side view on the dual display window, I have it running but it is not showing any color comparasons. Both images are showing the same color looks applied. it won't show Graded vs Ungraded. This goes for any configuration, ie split screen or side by side. Thoughts?
Thanks.

How do I choose which video card AE uses?

Howdy,
I have two video cards in my system which I use for editing, motion grahics and animation. My new card has 3x the amount of ram as the older card yet AE chooses the older card for previews. Is there somewhere I can change that in prefs?
Thanks,
Curtis

Regarding video RAM: There is some benefit in giving the OpenGL renderer more texture memory (if you're using the OpenGL renderer at all, that is).
from "Render with OpenGL":
"To modify the amount of texture memory, choose Edit > Preferences > Previews (Windows) or After Effects > Preferences > Previews (Mac OS), click OpenGL Info, and enter a value for Texture Memory of no more than 80% of the installed video RAM (VRAM) on your video card."
The default is set way too low for modern cards, which have so much more memory.
But, all that said, the OpenGL renderer isn't really worth giving much thought to in After Effects. I only ever use it for the OpenGL - Interactive previews.

Can I choose which season artwork is used for display over the whole TV show?

I have a TV show with multiple seasons and multiple album covers, but iTunes chooses one to display over the whole show list that I don't like. Is there some way to choose which season cover is displayed over my whole show, you know, WITHOUT changing all the album artworks of all the episodes?

LaunchPad-Control was very useful to do exactly what you want on OS X Lion the developer has stated that there are problems when running on Mountain Lion and will not provide any support.
Your only option now is to create folders with related applications. Click on an application in Launchpad then drop it onto another thus creating a folder then rename the folder to something meaningful.

How do I know/how can I control which video card a particular application uses?

Hey there--
Simple question: I have the ATI Radeon HD 2600 256 MB and the NVIDIA Quadro FX 5600 1536 MB installed via PCIe ports on an early 2008 Mac Pro. I've decided for a multitude of reasons that I'd like my displays to be plugged into the HD 2600, but I want certain applications-- Final Cut, games, etc-- to use the FX 5600. How can I be sure that this is happening? Is it possible? Will more intensive applications automatically utilize the proper card?
Thanks much.

Yes, it means the 7970 requires 1 x 6 pin and 1 x 8 pin. The Mac Pro supplies 2 x 6 pin, which is 75 Watts each.
So Mac Pro can supply 75 Watts from PCIe slot and 2 x 75 Watts from 2 x 6 pin for the total of 225 Watts.
The 7970 requires more than 225 Watts. There are people that run these cards from internal power and say the additional power pulled over the traces on the Mainboard won't damage the board, but I've seen several reports of burned out Mainboards and more commonly the PSU just shuts the Mac Pro down hard for safety reasons. Remember: the 2 x 6 pin ports power runs over traces(!) on the board, not over cables. If you over tax them this is a lot more dangerous as with cables.
It's up to everyone to decide for themself if they want to risk running cards above the power provided by the Mac Pro.
The safe way is always to go for 2 x SATA to 1 x 6 pin adapter and 2 x 6 pin to 1 x 8 pin adapters and provide the power for 7970 / R9 280x or GTX 780 in the Mac Pro like that. Or get an external / additional PSU for power hungry GPUs. That works, too.
But you will obviously lose 2 x SATA ports. I run eSATA with RAID5 anyway, since RAID5 in the Mac Pro is too much of a hassle.
Of course all that matters if it works in the end. But official power specifications are a matter you shouldn't take too lightly.

Which video card to use?

I have a 24" external monitor attached to my MBP. Should I be using the better graphics card (9600M GT, or the normal 9600M)? Currently I am using the 9600M and things seem ok. I'm just wondering what advantages would come from using the better one?

If you use only 9400M there are not much point using MB Pro!
Nope. Not unless you want a thin, sleek, sturdy, lightweight 15" notebook computer with FireWire and an ExpressCard expansion slot, that runs Leopard and all the latest Mac software with ease and stays amazingly cool doing it. If none of those things matter to you, then certainly there's no point in having a MBP.
But there are a lot of people who value those attributes and so would rather have a 15" MBP than a 13" MacBook, even if it means paying for a second GPU for which they have little or no use. I'm one of those people.

How can i choose which email client safari uses to email web pages?

Right now it tries to use gmail (google chrome symbol). When i click on the arrow, next to the address bar, the google chrome symbol appears next to the option email this page. If selected, it then opens google chrome on the gmail sign in website.

Nevermind I found out that my email reader was changed to google chrome, within my mail preferences.

Need advice on choosing a video card.

I am in the process of assembling a newer PC for editing & rendering footage primarily from Nikon dslrs. I have a 5960X chip, Gigabyte GA-99 MB with 24 GB RAM and 512 GB SSD for C: drive. At NAB I talked with Adobe, Nvidia & AMD reps and I'm still confused on choosing a video card within reasonable cost and the BEST performance! My choices so far are the AMD 8100 for ~1000$ & Nvidia 2000 for ~350$, 4000 for ~790$, 4200 for ~890$ and can't afford the 6000. Of my choices which would be the better choice (or your suggestions)?

None of them. The only sensible choices would be the nVidia GTX 970 or 980.
See Tweakers Page
The AMD is twice the price of the 980 and delivers half the performance. The Quadro K4200 is also overpriced and performs no better than the old GTX 660Ti for around € 275.
Better increase memory to 32 or 64 GB. 24 causes slow performance because of not using the quad channel architecture.

Which video card for video editing?

I am about to order my first iMac. I've always had MacBook Pros and have never had to choose a video card as I always just got the one that came with the laptop. I will primarlily use the iMac for video editing using FCPX
I do not know what kind of impact the video card has on vdeo editing with FCPX.
I do not play video games and I do not create complex 3D graphics.
Will I notice any better performance if I go for the faster, more expensive video card that is offered for the iMac?

not on edit.
on Im-/Export, a 'faster' GPU with more VRam could make a difference.
but ... 'waiting' 12 or 15minutes? ... is a 20% improvement, but less than a coffee/cigarette/hello-my-dear-texting. Plus,you can do other things meanwhile ...

How to set up set which NIC card to use for multicast?..

 I just downloaded Rolling Patch 1 for WLS6.0SP2.
 While reading the README file it says
 " ISSUE 42518: Provided a way to set which NIC card to use for multicast traffic
 Can anyone tell me how to set this?. on my WebApplication server it has two NIC
 cards and I want to use the NICcard which is being used to talk to internal network
 for multicast messages.
 One more thing,
 Can anyone one tell how to search for bugs (ISSUES) in weblogic. I am looking
 place where I enter ISSUE number and should get the detailed description of bug/issue
 etc..
 Thanks for helping,
 Nilesh


 Thanks Kumar, I'll try this.
 Does this -Dweblogic.interfaceAddress used only for multicast. Or this is also
 used to talk to AdminServer?.
 The other problem I am facing is when I restart the AdminServer in recovery mode
 it's not finding my WebApp servers, because my webapp servers are on public network
 and my admin (management) server is on private network.
 please look at http://newsgroups.bea.com/cgi-bin/dnewsweb?cmd=article&group=weblogic.developer.interest.management&item=1217&utag=
 , for more details about my problem.
 Thanks,

Can I choose which programs or apps upload data to iCloud?

My iCloud account tells me that my 5GB are full (that's right from the start when I updated the software to iOS5 :-S) Well, I noticed that there are actually just a few apps that I would want to make data backups for in iCloud. Can I choose which programs use that function? The only option I found so far is to turn the data backup function off or on, for ALL the apps. But I only want to use it for a FEW ones! Is this supported in iOS5??
PS. How come it gets full so quickly? The programs that uses most data (Hipstamatic for example) use only barely 0,5GB. So what I can see the 5GB shouldn't be full yet. What have I missed?

I think starting from the second home screen, the new app will be placed in the first available space. If this is the case, you would be able to control the placement manually by making sure your landing screen has empty icon slots and all previous screens, with the exception of the first one, have all of the icon slots occupied. I did run across an app that seemed like it would allow the user to create placeholder icons on the home screens but I can not think of the keywords to pull it up now. There are several icon creators/enhancers that may do the same thing. You can use one of these apps or use the Safari button to Add to Home Screen, to fill up the screens. You could even use a folder to store and deploy your screen filler icons. It seems like it would be more trouble than it's worth but I do have my home screens assigned for different roles. Hopefully Apple will continue to refine the user interface.

How can I tell what video card and how much video memory does my iMac have?

How or where can I find out: which video card does my iMac have and how much video memory does it have? I've tried looking in System profiler, but I did not see it there. Thank you.

Once you open System Profiler there should be a line called "memory" which is the RAM (vs. hard drive size which is not what is called memory), e.g., Memory: 1.5 GB
For video click on the line Graphics/Displays and look at the chipset line, e.g., Chipset Model: GeForce2 TwinView
Kappy's instructions are handy for checking the original configuration of your computer, but that may have been changed at some time, especially if you bought it secondhand.

Choose which content type to use in sharepoint 2013 list using InfoPath 2013

So, in my head it seems pretty simple and a feature that might be standard to InfoPath so much in fact I can't find anything on it... My goal is to a have one list where you can do a drop down or buttons to choose which content type to use.
I will be royally disappointed if this is not possible. =(
So, c'mon you giants of MS Support. Give me a happy answer.

Hi Lincoln,
According to your description, my understanding is that you want to use multiple content types in a list.
For achieving it, you can do as the followings:
Open the list.
Go to List Settings->Advanced Settings.
Under ‘Allow management of content type’, select ‘Yes’, click OK.
In the Content Types section, click ‘Add from existing site content types’
Then add the content types that you want to add, click OK
Go back to the list, click ITEMS->New Item, then all content types are displayed in the drop-down list
When you click an item, you can select the new item is created based on one of these content types
I hope this helps.
Thanks,
Wendy

Which video card to buy for Mac Pro and AE CS3

I am about to purchase a new Mac Pro and am curious which video card to buy - particularly when it comes to rendering speed.
Apple offers the ATI Radeon HD 2600 XT with 256MB of GDDR3 as a standard option, with the NVIDIA GeForce 8800 GT with 512MB of GDDR3 as a $150 BTO option.
I primarily use AE CS3 using adaptive resolution in lieu of Open GL. The projects are very 3d intensive. My initial thought is that the NVIDIA card has more VRAM and would be a better pick - but would my $$$ be better off toward more RAM? Does using CS4 make a difference?
Any thoughts would be appreciated. And yes, I have searched the forums but have not found anything definitive.

Personally, I'd buy more RAM. The standard display card supplied with the Mac Pro will have perfectly good specs for AE and Prem Pro.
Yes, CS4 should render faster than CS3.
