Clean, Lean & Mean Editing Machine - One Workflow

Many people run low on System Resources, while editing. Often, this is because they have a lot of other programs and Processes loaded, running and sapping their Resources. Here is how I handle these programs and Processes, to get the most out of my computers.
The first thing that I do, before I do any editing, is clean out my system, using MSCONFIG to eliminate all unnecessary programs and Processes at boot. These are things like MS Messenger, iTunes Helper, Bonjour Services (I do need this for one progarm on my laptop, so I keep it there), and the like. These are little things that are usually installed by the OS, other programs, or the folk, who build the machine. Unless subsequent installs add this sort of stuff back, this is a one-shot deal. I do this, when I take delivery of any new computer, and check carefully, should I install, or update anything.
Next, I manually Exit from my AV, spyware sweepers and pop-up blockers. The reason that I do this manually is that most of these programs are designed to not let themselves be shut down by any software, as many Trojans will attempt to do this, so they can do their nefarious work undetected.
Last, I run a little utility, called EndItAll2, to then shut down all unnecessary programs and Processes (on a session basis, and not permanently, like MSCONFIG), prior to editing.
This gets my machine in as lean, clean and mean a status, as I can. Then, I edit.

You guys must be super intellegent. Sorry but I dont understand any of that stuff and if I muck with it I am only sure of one thing,
I will stuff up my system. All I want to do is speed up my editing of video, which I am now doing with an ancient computer with premier CS3.
It was already getting slower and slower and crashing often, but is still four times faster than this beautiful, latest, fastest piece of junk I am now on.
Gosh, you know the curser on this page cant even keep up with my typing, have to keep going back and inserting missed letters.
trouble is there doesn't seem to be a computer tech in New Zealand that knows anything about video editing programs. So I spend my time trying to decifer stuff thats way over my head on these forums.
Thanks to you all for your advice and help. Maybe the penny will drop one day. I will not give up, my income depends on it.

  • One workflow, edited by multiple users

    Hi,
    can anyone tell me if it is possible to have one workflowtransaction that is edited by multiple users? My customer wants the transfer workflow to be initiated by the supervisor, which will fill several fields, and then be sent to an HR Representative, who will fill another set of fields, and then sent to a payroll administrative worker who has to fill in the rest of the fields. Then it will go into an approval workflow.
    The latter I know how to do, but I don't know if you can have multiple roles into one workflow.
    Please help.
    Corné

    An approver can update the transaction if the Edit Transaction profiles are set to Yes.
    Please note, it is not function specific . So, all functions with HRSSA workflow will be enabled for edit by approvers.
    I don't remember the profiles names now, but SSHR Implementation guide has the details.

  • Want to build a video editing machine for Premiere Pro CC

    I will only be using this machine for Premiere pro CC.I would like you guys to have a look at the specs I have chosen,give your suggestions:
    i5 4th gen 4670K 3.4 Ghz LGA 1150 (Keeping in mind the benchmark tests found on this site for CC)
    Ram Corsair 16 GB Corsair DDR3 @ 1333Mhz. Either 4GB  x 4 or 4GB x 2 + 8GB X 1.I already have 8 GB of ram so I am stuck with 1333Mhz.Will this really matter? is 1600mhz better for video editing ?
    Motherboard has to be in MSI as I had bad experiences with Asus and Intel original.I am confused about the chipset though..Has to be Z series right??
    HDD - 2TB x 1 @ 7200rpm Seagate
               1TB x 1 @ 7200rpm Seagate     I already have the HDDs from the last machine.
    Graphics Card - Within 12k INR.No choice in particular though I had good experience with Sapphire AMD  6670 AND R7 250. I hear AMD is no good for video editing?is it true?
    Prefrences- Saphire for AMD
                        Zotac for Nvidia
    Please recomend me a PSU.What shoud be the wattage? Also, need some guidance for buying a UPS.Have this one as of now:
    http://www.snapdeal.com/product/zebronics-power-ups-u111/653520?utm_source=earth_feed&utm_ campaign=21_56&utm_medium=101239537
    psst- Do I need a cooling option if I am not running this machine in an air conditioned room?
    As for the OS is Microsoft Windows 8 / 8.1 SL OEM 64 bit ok ?
    I am also looking to buy a Full HD monitor under 12K INR. 
    Thanks a lot in advance !!

    The new Haswell E CPU is out now. THAT is what you want for a new editing machine. ESPECIALLY for heading into the future, which will involve 4K and other, maybe more DEMANDING codecs. SEE Eric Bowen's posting here on this forum regarding the test results for video editing using the Haswell E...vs. the older CPUs.
    The Haswell E now has a new chipset,( X99), that brings MANY new features, AND, the Haswell E NOW features "quad  channel" memory...to handle large amounts of data FASTER. The new motherboards have TEN SATA III ports, for a variety of HIGH SPEED storage options !! The OLDER motherboards are LIMITED to TWO SATA III ports.....PREVENTING creating FAST onboard RAID setups. The Haswell E is available with EIGHT,or, SIX cores...you choose !! Use at least 32 GB of system memory. Soon, Eric will post the results of the new Nvidia 970 and 980 video cards. in his video editing test. The 980 is ALREADY the top card in GAMING...BEATING the 780ti, DESPITE having LESS data throughput. The 980 MAY be the card you want....it is MUCH cheaper than the 780ti......down in the $500 plus range.
    Use the new Samsung 850 Pro SSDs in your  new system...or, the cheaper Crucial M550 series SSDs. The SSDs are now WAY more reliable than HDDs and are WAY FASTER, in many ways.

    I have just started using Time Machine. I was thinking about deleting old E-Mails on my Mac to clean. Does Time Machine back up the E-Mails , if so how can I find them in Time Machine ??

    If you back up your mac before deleting your emails, Time Machine should back up your e-mails.
    I never tried this so i'm not sure to find them in Time Machine. To browse in your backups simply click the Time Machine icon in your dock. In the right bar, you can select an backup. Than you can browse in finder, in your backkup.
    EDIT: Just browsed and CT above was right. This topic might help you:

  • Iba allow others to make text edits. What workflow are you guys using to allow others to make text edits once the iBook has been layed out and formatted?  Is it too late? Do I need to export txt then reimport the editted text and reformat it all again?

    iba allow others to make text edits. What workflow are you guys using to allow others to make text edits once the iBook has been layed out and formatted?  Is it too late? Do I need to export txt then reimport the editted text and reformat it all again?

    Hi Ken,
    Thanks for the reply. The project I am working on is a test project for a customer. They could potentially want a number of their educational subjects presented as an interactive text book. The intent of this first project with them is to establish a logical workflow that will allow us to efficiently estimate costs and allow for review throughout the design process. Having worked with customers on creative projects in the past I can anticipate that they will want a number of changes made once they see a working version of the interactive text book.
    It is a grim reality that no project can be fully edited and planned prior to working on it and I know revisions and changes are always made once the customer can see their product. It is ok with me if there is no easy way to pass the text back and forth from the customer and me without having to reformat everything but I just want to know that is the way it works in order to provide a realistic time estimate for the project.
    My hope was I would be able to export the formatted text, allow them to make edits and then reimport that formatted text. The style sheets I am using are from one of the iBooks Author templates.
    Do you know if there is a way to use (or export ) this style sheet so it can be used in a Pages Document?
    Or, would the best option be to have the customer install iBooks Author? This would require the customer to have a mac and the software so it doesn't work for all cases.
    Another idea I was considering would be to export the book as a PDF and have the customer add markup and notes to the PDF.
    All of these options do not seem too great to me.
    I am open to any ideas.
    Thanks,
    Rob

  • Looking for Pre-Rendered Editing / Color Grading Workflow suggestions.

    Looking for Pre-Rendered Editing / Color Grading Workflow suggestions.
    All my material is rendered via RenderMan, our resolution is 1280x544, and our format is generally .exr in 32 bit space.
    Our editor has been converting over to 32-bit tiffs, and using Apple Intermediate Codec for editing, mostly for speed concerns.
    We need to re-vamp our workflow so that we can edit our footage, and then do color grading of the edit head to tail to smooth the look between scenes. We want to do this in Color, being fed by Final Cut Pro's timeline.
    We want to keep our bit depth as high as possible when coming into Color.
    My question is, does anyone here have any workflow suggestions for doing what I am talking about.
    I wasn't sure if we should just export and EDL from FCP and try to get Color to load our single frames from that. Or if there is a special Quicktime wrapper we should be using, or converting our 32-bit .exr files into some other format more readily available for using in Color?
    Any thoughts would be great, thanks in advance!

    You're not going to get anywhere beyond 10-bit. That's it.
    Try encoding to 10-bit LOG dpx if you need upscale RGB.

  • One workflow to join docs and pdfs to one big pdf

    Hi! I've been trying to do something that, until now, just hasn't worked.
    I have a bunch of word docs in a folder and I want to convert them to pdf and join them together. I have no problem with that. But, can I use the same workflow to join pdfs together that were not word docs to begin with? An action to "ignore the conversion" if the file is already a pdf.
    Furthermore, can I grab a bunch of docs and pdfs and join them in one giant pdf so that the docs will be converted and then the multiple pdfs joined with just one workflow?
    If so, how?
    Thank you very much.

    I am having the same issue, I have tried repairing the installation and it did not work, I have uninstalled and then reinstalled and still no right click options. I have 3 computers with this issue and each of them when you right click will not show any of the acrobat options, but they do have a blank line (no text) that when clicked will open the combine window. Any help or suggestions would be greatly appreciated!

  • Create one workflow ( 2 level approval - manager and financial manager). An

    Hi
    I have requirement to Create one workflow ( *2 level approval - manager and financial manager).* And escalate it after 1 day to Financial manager's supervisor
    I have no idea about escalation through BPEL Compoiste in OIM
    Can please any help me out

    The status can be alerted and the task assigned to weblogic due to a fault in your process. Without looking at your process or the exception, it can be difficult to say what went wrong, but check if you have the user in the system to whom you are trying to assign the task to.
    As for escalation, you need to go through that link to configure escalations and in escalations you can select management chain as the route. This would escalate it to manager's manager if the manager does not work on the request for specified time. For other requirements around escalation, you will have to first get a basics right and working for you. Once you are done with that, you can post here any questions which you might have about making the complex ones and we can try to help.

  • Multipal Event  in One Workflow

    Hello Everybody ,
    Can we Used two Triggaring  Event in  one  Workflow  with two different transaction ? .
    My Req is that I used Bus2038  for  PM  Notification Using Create Event (  Tcode :  IW21  ) .
    When Notification is Created ( IW21)  user can get mail in his  INBOX he  excuted  the Work Item
    ( IW22  here  user are creating Maintance Order  )  .
    After Excute Work Item ( using Tcode  IW22  i.e  After Creating Maintance Order )  User should directly goes to another  transaction  i.e   ( IW32   i.e  Change Maintance Order )  .
    is it  Possible  such kind of Req  . 
    can we triggered  Two  Event  in One workflow ?
    Regards,
    Sandeep Jadhav

    Hi,
    Suggest you the following steps.
    1. Create delegation object type ZBUS2038 of standard BUS2038.
    2. Use the created event of BUS2038 as start event in the Basic data of your workflow.
    3. Then include a send mail step to notify the agent.(user)
    4. create a custom method Z_call_IW22  for ZBUS2038->within the method call transaction IW22.
    5. Then include an activity step in the workflow->create a Task for this activity step->within that Task
        attach BOR ZBUS2038, method Z_call_IW22.
    6. Set your user as Agent for this activity step, so that at runtime user will receive work item for this step and that WI will take him to transaction IW22.
    7. Then include another activity step in the workflow and follow the same process to call IW32.
    Thanks,
    Sonali.

  • One workflow for two list

    Hello:
    Is there a possibility to have one workflow and use it for two list. For example, I have a workflow1 for list A and the document A has been approved, in list 2 Can I use workflow 1 ? If I can use the workflow1, then if I upload a document A, will I see the
    status as 'Approved' ?
    What I am looking for is that once the document is approved via certain workflow and if user upload this document on their MySite document library then they should know by uploading the document if it has been already approved or not somewhere else.
    Thanks
    SharePoint Developer

    I am not sure if the Metadata associated with the file in List 1 will be carried over to list 2 if the user is going to upload the same file to list 2. Incase of InfoPath forms this is possible by creating a column in the form.
    @Udaya - Even if Visual studio is used to create workflows and attach it to many list, every user will have his or her own mysite, so how will we know on whose mysite the workflow should be associated?
    Let me check on this further.
