Coding for editing... help needed

Hello,
My mate has filmed my wedding on an HD TV camera and is asking me what coding to put the rushes onto so I can edit them on Imovie HD6.
Can anyone tell mw what I should be telling him? I've looked around the Mac site and it seems to suggest using Mpeg4, but I'm guessing that will be pretty low quality?
Any advice much appreciated!

Welcome to the discussions.
iMovie 6HD edits HD in "Apple Intermediate Codec" ("AIC") and the footage should be in 720p or 1080i.
Note that if you want to burn a DVD, that's Standard Definition. SD footage should be in DV, in your case DV-PAL.

Applescript for QuickTime help needed.

I have some mkv files that I would like to re-encapsulate as mov files.
Through the GUI I would normally open the mkv in quicktime, then Save or Save As with self-contained option selected, and just hit enter. This would save the re-encapsulate the movie with no re-encoding to the same directory with the same filename, but now with the .mov extension. This works with no issues.
Now, I want to be able to automate this process, but the only thing I can't figure out is how to tell the movie to *save self contained* with the *+same name in the same directory+*.
Thanks in advance for any help you can offer!

I don't know what the rest of your script is, but the following snippet will save the front document - no error checking (such as existing files or loaded state of the document) is done:
<pre style="
font-family: Monaco, 'Courier New', Courier, monospace;
font-size: 10px;
font-weight: normal;
margin: 0px;
padding: 5px;
border: 1px solid #000000;
width: 720px;
color: #000000;
background-color: #DAFFB6;
overflow: auto;"
title="this text can be pasted into the AppleScript Editor">
tell application "QuickTime Player 7" to tell document 1
set thePath to it's path & ".mov" -- just add a new extension to the existing file path
save self contained it in thePath
-- close
end tell
</pre>

AIM: to build an ass kicking video editing & music production PC
Just wanted to say thanks to the peeps who contribute to this forum. Although I have only just registered I have been coming here for the past month and have put together all the missing pieces of my first ever PC Build project. My previous experience was to upgrade the odd part. This forum has enabled me to make the equipment choices, tackle the engineering & build (including fitting the CPU fan which was my worst worry), update the bios & load the drivers & software in the correct order. 99% of the items have been sourced from eBay to save money and so far no DOA's.
Still got some way to go, so any suggestions regarding my future upgrades would be welcome…..
The Winfast graphics card is possibly the weakest link (borrowed from my outgoing PC) and I am looking for an ATI x800xt PE vivo.
Looking to replace the HDD with two WD Raptors in Raid?
Not sure If I will fit My Terratec Sound Card (the front plate has all the connections which is not good for the door on the front of my case) or to go the Audigy way?
I have no idea how to overclock and not sure if I need to go this way for video editing, if yes would the dane-elec memory need to be upgraded? How do I test this?
I gather from previous posts that once all this kit is added I may need to be upgrade the 400w PSU due to a shortage of amps? I am a little reluctant as it is almost totally silent @ 14db. I like the look of the OCZ moonsomething?
Finally, the case Tsunami Dream case is a little noisy. I just purchased some acoustic absorption mats to help. Has anyone had any luck changing the stock Tsunami 120mm fans to quieter ones?
Thanks Again

Hi. Happy you have found the forum helpful.
I would buy a good PSU first. Otherwise you risk damaging your new equiment. Recommended makes are Enermax, Tagan, Hiper and OCZ with amps on the 12 rail at least in the mid twenties, but preferably around 30.
For video cards, I have preferred nvidia-based cards in recent years because of their better driver support. The 6800GT is a good choice. The ultra version, IMHO, is not worth the added cost since you can ususally OC the GT ot ultra speeds.
Raptors in RAID offer the best performace but suffer a big price premium over 7200 SATA drives.
I would leave the Audio issue for last. You just might like the on-board audio.
Deciding whether to chage the case might be the very first thing to decide since it would be awfully inconvenient to install everything and then have to resinstall because of a case change. I wish there was a way to get a totally silent case/fan combo, but I don't. Maybe someone else will help you on this.
Good luck.

Adobe digital editions (help needed asap)

I keep getting an error message saying adobe digital editions 2.0 has stopped working, How do i fix

Depends why it stopped working. You could try uninstall and reinstall.
Unfortunately, ADE2.0/2.0.1 is a terrible program riddled with bugs,
unless you need a feature it does not have the best solution is to install 1.7.2.
There are lots of bugs in ADE2.0 (and 2.0.1). Try replacing ADE2.0 with the older but more reliable v1.7.2.
(You can have them both installed at once if you like.)
Version 1.7.2, it is a little difficult to find, available on Adobe site for Windows and for Mac.
http://helpx.adobe.com/digital-editions/kb/cant-install-digital-editions.html
The forum software is sometimes corrupting the link above. There shouldn't be a blank in 'editio ns.html'. The following redirects to the same page: http://tinyurl.com/diged172
Some people have found ADE trying to upgrade automatically.
It appears (not 100% sure) that if you install ADE2.0 as a new install (not as an upgrade) that your 1.7.2 will continue to run.
Probably best to say no if 2.0.x installation asks if you want to migrate your library.

Want to use Logic 8 Pro for Podcasting, help needed

I have a few problems. I just switched over to Logic after using ProTools for 4 years so I'm a newbie. I'm about to start a podcast soon and I want to use Logic 8 Pro to do so. Is there a book that someone can recommend me for getting familiar with Logic?
Here are the things I need to get done:
I have a mixer and I need to know how to record the sounds playing through my computer to end up in Logic. I basically want to be able to capture the audio playing on my computer and have that be on the podcast. How do I do this?
Secondly, I'm confused about what Input 1 and Input 2 are. What is the difference?
I'd appreciate anyone who could IM me to help me further with Logic if I have a quick question or anything. My AIM screen name is DirtyVibes. Any help would be appreciated.
Thank you,
-RandomSkater

Is there a book that someone can recommend me for getting familiar with Logic?
Yes, the Getting Started manual, you can download it from Apple.
I have a mixer and I need to know how to record the sounds playing through my
computer to end up in Logic. I basically want to be able to capture the audio
playing on my computer and have that be on the podcast. How do I do this?
I'm not sure what you are asking here. If you want to record the whole output of your computer, I recommend using a virtual audio driver like Soundflower or Jack.
Secondly, I'm confused about what Input 1 and Input 2 are. What is the difference?
Input 1 is the input marked "1" on your audio interface (or the left channel on a stereo pair).
Input 2 is the input marked "2".
If your audio interface has more than 2 inputs, they will all show up, so you can record different inputs to different tracks if required.
You might be better off using Garageband to record your podcasts, it's simpler and has dedicated podcast functions (like adding iTunes artwork and so on).

Images smaller printed then edited, help needed

Hello everyone.
I'm using LiveCycle Manager 8.0 on Win XP SP3
When building a new form i got various problems with images being printed smaller then what is defined and shown in the edited and also in preview mode.
The problem occurs with images that are being included with Image Fields.
The problem gets even bigger if i place the images by showing them by the push of a button (script)
Pictures will not be x/y placed and sized as defined in the layout parameter
Here are some details about the pics:
Larger header pic 17.7 x 8.0 cm, 300dpi
Smaller pics bellow 17.7 x 1.6 cm, 300dpi
Here are some screen shoots to show you how it looks.
Any help would be great as I really tried a lot but can't find a solution.
Designmode:
Preview Mode
Final PDF messed up
PS: LiveCycle Manager also seems to run very bugy. Sometimes it crashes when changing a image parameter.

Hi,
OK I am trying to get to grips with what you are trying to achieve.
The preview now shows how the form will look in Acrobat (Form / Properties / Preview / Interactive).
In the top imageField I cannot explain why the displayed image is not as per the design view. Because it works for an image object (rev 1 in previous post), I suspect that it is a bug in the imageField object.
There are workarounds however it would depend on the number of options (images) that the user has to select and if these images will change over time. If there are a small number of options, you could include all of the images in a series of image objects that are hidden and then change the visibility depending on what the user selects. This would be easier for the user because they would not have to browse to an image location.
In relation to the "Geben Sie hier einen Titel ein |" header; if you are looking to change the background colour, then there is a simpler way, which i have included in rev 2.
You can script rectangles for presence, colour, etc. The rectangle cannot contain the script, but you can include script in a button that will affect the presence and appearance (look) of the rectangle.
Hope that helps,
Niall

Flash and publishing for iOS (Help Needed)

I currently own Adobe Create Suite 3 Design Premium. I just recently heard that CS 5.5 can develop iOS Apps. So I downloaded trial 2 days ago and thought I would see if I could develop some apps and if things go well upgrade.
Here is the issue I'm running into. I created the CSR file with openssl since I don't own a mac, only a windows 7 based pc. Apples developers program accepted my CSR and created the provisioning file for it.
However, when I go to publish the for iOS it asks for a .p12 file. I found online that is my CSR file. However, it asks for a password. I have no password for it. It does not allow leaving the password field blank, and anything I put in it is incorrect.
All I need help with is the .p12 file and getting past the password and I will be good to go.
Anyone know a step by step guide or could walk me though this part. Thank you and I greatly appreciate it.
~Chris

the only thing is that i havent got a password set to my computer but i will have a look in to that thanks for the help

Manual Router CFG editing Help Needed!!

Ok so what I'm trying to do is to configure my Linksys WRT54GL by either editing the .CFG file that I can download from it or by maybe uploading a configuration file to it through tftp. I have not found an editor that will let me work with the .CFG file!
Ultimate goal: I need to put more port forwarding options in then the 10 that it will let me on the web page. Please help!!

Linksys firmware is limited to 10 port forward slots. You can not change it.

Simple Narration Editing Help Needed

Hello,
I am brand new to audio editing and SB. I have recorded a narration. There was a little bit of background noise and the peak levels were a little too high (going into the red a little too often). I selected a piece of the background recording where no narration exists and used the "Capture Noise Print" in the Clean Up Audi0 - Noise panel to get rid of the background noise. Then I "Equalized Volume Level" to take care of the peaking problem. However, now the voice is a little on the tinny side. Can anyone suggest how I can get rid of that tinny sound and bring back the richness? Or perhaps a tutorial?
Any suggestion on how to record with proper levels would be helpful as well.
Thanks,
Mike

I have the same problem.
Did you ever figure this out?
Using the Effect Fix:Remove Hiss seemed to work better, but there is still a significant amount of background noise when no one is talking.
It did seem to help to set the Noise -> Reduction value down to 30 or so using the Preview and Green switch to hear the difference.
I'm still looking for the best workflow to cleanup a group discussion setting and would appreciate anyone else's experience.

Making click track for drums, help needed!

Hello, newbie here. I don't have that much experience with Logic and am using Logic 8. Our band is making a backing track with midi bass panned one way and metronome click the other for our drummer. My keyboardist managed to programme the metronome to change because we have lots of time signature changes mid song. We've got all that working fine but our drummer is struggling to hear the click tone. I could make an audio track with a cowbell sound but it would take ages and we've got the metronome doing what we want it to. So...would ideally like the metronome click to be changed to a cowbell. I've managed to change it from Klopfgeist to garage band drum kit but it only does a tinkly bell sound and then a whistle. There doesn't seem to be an interface for it where I can change to a different drum percussion sound. I've got Battery 3 and libraries. I've tried loading this in the box below I/O but i then lose the metronome click altogether on playback. Any ideas? I've attached a couple of screenshots...
Cheers

you could also just not use the metronome at all. My default is an instrument track with hihats. If you load an intrument (like maybe ultra beat, or an EXS drumkit) then use the pencil tool to creat a region on a MIDI track, you could double-click the region and draw the notes on whatever beats, with whatever instruments. If you want to preview sounds, just hit your keyboard controller until you find what you like. The transport will show what note it is. Or the little keyboard on the left side in the editor. Edit the MIDI region to taste.
Or... if you're not comfortable with the editing, just load an instrument, find the sounds you like, then record a couple of bars of how you want your click, then quantize to the smallest note value you have in your click. (usually 8th, sometimes 16th depending on the complexity of the click you've created.)

Expert editing help needed

OK, so here is the situation. I filmed my friends son's christening. The ceremony was a feast for the eyes and ears. The audio track is beautiful, and a complete record of the ceremony.
I want to preserve the audio track and much of the video, while I overlay video clips (without their audio), and stills in places where my camera faltered.
My problem is, how do I put video/pics over the audio, and cut back to the video of the ceremony while maintaining the synch between the audio/video of the original footage?
I only know how to trim/split/crop clips, and it seems like it would be near impossible to get the audio and video to match-up every time I splice in new footage.
I am extracting the audio from the original footage as we speak.
Thanks in advance
-Tim

Under the Advanced menu, use "paste over at playhead" instead of manually cropping/splitting/pasting. Prior to using this command, you will need to copy your clip into memory (command-c).
This command pastes your clip into your movie, while not affecting the audio track. The movie will get automatically cut the same exact length as the clip you are pasting.

Waiting For Activation, help needed.

Hi, I have bought a iPhone 3G 8GB from ebay. I have checked the IMEI number on "checkmend" and there are no reported problems. It is apparently on o2 but I want to unlock it for use on Vodafone. I have bought a o2 pay as you go sim card so that I can get it unlocked properly but when I insert it I get the message "Waiting for activation, this may take a while" but it never goes until I press "dismiss" then it just says "No Service".
Under the carrier menu the only provider listed is Orange but under the "phone" menu in settings the last box does say o2!
Can anyone help? I've tried googling, restoring the iphone, uninstalling and re-installing itunes. Does anyone know what the problem could be or better still anyone know of a solution?

No way to tell really - I am always suspicious about 'the worlds largest,best, greatest ' etc checkers of anything. The four/five UK carriers all operate an IMEI block agreement between them and somehow I doubt that they would give up that information to a small company operating out of a Coach House in Gloucester
That said, who knows - its practically impossible to tell where a phone came from - you are not the first to ask by far! The others didnt manage to find out either. Sorry I cannot be more helpful - the only online checker that Apple have is a warranty checker but that won;t even tell you the country - just how much warranty left on it. https://selfsolve.apple.com/GetWarranty.do
