Cross-compatibility between FCP7 & AE CS4 on Win7-64 - how to make it work?

I'm currently capturing from an Intensity Pro on a mac OS X 10.5.8 thru HDMI so my source is very high quality.
I've been capturing to ProRes 422 HQ.
I'd like to edit in FCP7, then output clips that would be used with AE CS4 on Win7-64.
Also on the PC, I'd like to be able to use SynthEyes to view the clips to get motion tracking data.
I want to them be able to move my output from AE CS4 on Win7-64 back to the Mac for final editing.
The roadblock seems to be the lack of ProRes 422 HQ on win7-64 (unless I'm missing something).
I'm open to using another Codec (like Cineform?).
If I have to, I'll capture in Premiere (and maybe look at an Mx02 Mini while I'm at it) but I'd prefer to do my final editing in FCP7 - so I'll need a way to get the clips over to the Mac without degrading them.
Any ideas on how to make this workflow work?

my only issue is how to get the resulting files back to FCP so that, when I mix them in with other ProRes files, I won't have some massive re-rendering headache.
Exactly. And the Windows machine cannot encode ProRes.
I've asked the CineForm folks if they can output a ProRes container (packaged with their codec inside) - and maybe this will work?
No...they don't do ProREs. That is an Apple codec. They do CINEFORM codec. If you convert everything to Cineform, and encode to that format on both, then you have no rendering. But I'm sure you'll need to get two licenses...one on each machine.
What codec could you use on both machines that is comparable to ProRes? Well...Cineform. Sheer by Bitjazz. Not sure if the UNCOMPRESSED codecs are cross platform, meaning that the PC can render to this. I have always exported an Animation codec to the FX guys. They do their stuff, send back Animation, then I convert to the format I am working with. Yeah, that is a lot of converting. Which is why it might be wise to use one codec both machines can read/encode.

  • Need help with XML Compatibility between CS3 and CS4

    I'm not a Dreamweaver guru but I am hoping someone will recognize my issue and be able to provide meaningful feedback.
    Background:
    A developer buddy and I are working together to create a new home page for an online retailer that utilizes flash banners.  We're using XML to update the content of the banners.  My buddy is creating the XML file and sending it to me to populate with content (i.e. descriptions, images, image paths, etc.).  He is creating the XML file in CS3 and I am editing in CS4.  Here's the issue:  Whenever he uploads the populated XML file to the server the banners are displayed correctly.  If I take the same file and upload it without editing, it works great.  However, if I open the file, edit and resave before uploading to the web server, the the banners all have extra spaces between each line of content - almost as if it were double spaced.  If you look at the code, the code looks fine.  In fact, the code looks exactly like it did when my buddy sent the file to me.  I believe we have isolated the problem to something weird with my installation of DW.  I have downloaded and installed any and all updates.  Oh yeah he's using a MAC version and I am using the PC version of DW.
    Has anyone seen anything like this before???
    Help...

    Thank you for your response.
    The code is listed below and to tell you the truth the following code is both good and bad.  As I mentioned before, if my buddy sends me this xml file and I upload it to the server, it works fine.  If I open the file and immediately save it without making any changes then upload it, I experience the previously described promblem.  It's very strange.  The code in both files is identical.
    To get a clearer picture of what I am describing, go to http://www.everythingministry.com/beta3.htm.  The book descriptions appear correctly under the "New and Recommended" tab.  However, whenever I edit any one of the six xml files that control the content for each of these tabs it ends up looking like what you currently see under the "New Music" tab.  I have actually tried to update from 2 different machines running DW CS4.
    Below are the xml files for the two tabs I referenced in the paragraph above:

  • In limbo between Snow Leopard and Lion.  would love to make everything work in 10.6.8 again.

    I had installed Lion, and saw that a number of my applications were no long available (including Quicken, Microsoft Office, some profession specific applications, not sure what else.  You can't even update the older Quicken files to newer versions in Lion).  This happened to coincide with my harddrive crashing.  Off to the Genius bar, luckily I back up with Time Machine.  I had Snow Leopard reinstalled as part of the visit to the Genius bar.  Now I have the problem of other applications no longer working with Snow Leopard.  iPhoto, Desktop/screen saver in System preferences, Mail seems to have lost all old emails and preferences.  I am still looking around to see what else is acting quirky.
    So, at this point I am trying to figure out how to get things working in Snow leopard again, or find out if I need to update other applications to be Lion compatible, and if I am stuck going back to Lion, (I kinda prefer Snow Leopard) How do I determine how many and which unsupported applications I would need to update before doing so.

    thank you William for taking the time to help.
    Just going to take a moment to be clear on what is going on with my MacMail.  It seems that any messages that I had in my generic mailbox are all still there, however I had several addtional mailboxes for sorting out mail from different companies, people, etc.  I also had Rules for all the corresponding mailboxes.  These all seem to have disappeared.  Also I seem to be running Version 4.5 (1084).
    I can't seem to find the Library folder you mention.  I went "Finder>Go>Home" clicked on home and I got a folder containing the following folders (plus a few others) Applications, Desktop, Documents, Downloads etc...
    Am I looking in the right place.  I also did a spotlight search for "Library" and no folders with that name came up. 
    I am not sure how much of a speed bump that is.
    Thank you again for your help

  • Mix between MS Outlook Calendar and Mac Contacts - how I got to work

    I've tried to mix my work PC computer with Microsoft Outlook Calendar with my Mac based iPhone. This is how I did it. Can this be done by mobileme?
    For Now it this works with Outlook over USB.
    My Microsoft Office Outlook 2003 windows XP within firewall is now synchronized to my Phone
    It now works great .. even if not wireless [can live with that..at least for now] and even if attachment does not sync no pdf, word, excel or pictures in the notes is synchronized.
    Amazingly simple, I'm sure I tried this before ..but maybe the 2.01 changed something or iTunes 7.7.1 ..
    My set up
    I have my master mac synced to the iPhone itself i.e. iPod/music and pictures
    I have my contacts and mail synced as MobileMe.
    I Turned off the iCal MobileMe
    I connected the office laptop with usb connector to iPhone. ..it asks for where/how to sync photos. [To turn this off: On PC go to Control panel- Scanners & Hardware - Cameras. Select "Apple iPhone" ] and opens ITunes.
    ITunes ask what to do since my iPhone is linked with another computer.. I click merge, make sure nothing on the iTunes is selected ..more than calendar and outlook.
    Appears to sync fawlessy and update both to and from iPhone… subject and location and notes sync but no attachment. Notes have a characther limit. with a meeting request, I do not seam to be able to access participants. With alarm set this pops up even with screen/iPhone locked similar to how a SMS is displayed
    It appears that most of the time I need to reconnect because ITunes reports "ITunes cannot sync information because sync has been disabled…Do you want to enable syncing" Clicking OK appears to fix it i.e. at least fix it temporarily
    Syncing with MS Outlook works with it running but also when not running.
    The first sync took some time, possibly because it also backs up the iPhone [some 10gb data]. Repeated sync takes a minute or less
    ..and in atypical PC fashion you need to restart iTunes and disconnect iPhone from time to time.
    Great!

    The HP applications no longer work under Snow Leopard. Support for printing and scanning with HP devices is now built in to the OS. See http://support.apple.com/kb/HT3669. Updated HP drivers are available at http://support.apple.com/kb/DL907
    I was unsure about which HP software to delete so I used the HP uninstall app to delete it all. Unfortunately, it deleted the new Snow Leopard installed drivers as well. I then had to download the HP driver set from Apple to restore functionality. Printing is just as it was before, but scanning is done differently and feels a bit strange at first. All in all, it is probably a good thing as I always found HP's software to be a bit clunky and crash prone. I do miss being able to scan from within Photoshop via the TWAIN selection, though. Perhaps that will return in time.

  • Compatibility between the iPhone 6 and certain vehicles, and the hands free connectivity in those vehicles?

    How can I findout about the compatibility between the iPhone 6 and certain vehicles, and the hands free connectivity in those vehicles?
    I am interested in the iPhone 6 but have several meetings that have to call into for work.  Where can I find out about the compatibility with iPhone 6 and if there are issues I need to be aware of for connecting to hands free option in the car?
    Please point me to the right direction. The dealership was useless in helping me. I figured Verizon can be more helpful.

        ShaM1,
    I understand the importance of the bluetooth compatibility between your new device and your car.  What make and model is your vehicle? 
    Here is the information that Verizon Wireless has on Bluetooth Car Kit compatibility; http://www.verizonwireless.com/support/how-to-use-bluetooth-car-kit-compatibility/.  However, Apple does not have any information listed here.  We can assume that the latest and greatest iPhone 6 has the technology to be compatible with most vehicles.  If you'd like to discover further information I'd suggest contacting Apple directly; 800-275-2273.
    Let us know if you need anything else!

  • Compatibility between CRM 4.0 and IS-U 4.64

    Hi,
    My company is using SAP IS-U 4.64 and is studying the use of SAP CRM. Does there is any problem of processus compatibility between these two versions ?
    I don't find any document on the market place or in sdn. Does there is a document that shows the optimization for cross application use of SAP ?
    Thanks
    Thomas

    Hi Gaurav,
    I've dealt with both realities (specially in IC Webclient) and from the configuration point of view and in my opinion, it is basically the same.
    For me the main change is that, in IC webclient scenario, instead of you do some customizing in a XML code, in CRM5 you'll do it by configuring tables.
    In CRM5, you'll have some nice functionalities that CRM4 doesn't have (e.g.: You can choose with channels your transactions are allowed, Email Workbench, ERMS categorization is time dependent, and so on...), but the big jump is given when you compare CRM5 to CRM6 (or CRM 2007).
    Kind regards,
    Bruno

  • Cross-reference between structured and unstructured FM documents

    Hello,
    Is it possible to retain FM cross-references from structured to unstructured FM documents during an XML round trip?
    From what I know, cross-references between or inside structured documents form pairs of ID and IDREF, while cross-references to unstructured documents are dumped as normal text and lose their functionality.
    The unstructured target documents might be converted to Structured FM at some point, but for the time being I'd like to find another solution. Do you know any solution to this?
    Thanks,
    Johannes

    Johannes,
    This is just a guess, because I do not do this.
    First, of course, you cannot export the unstructured file to XML, because it is unstructured.
    Second, IF the cross-reference from the structured file to the unstructured file were done via your cross-reference ELEMENT, then the cross-reference element should export to XML as an XML element with one of its IDref attribute set to the ID of something in the unstructured file. When you open the XML file in FrameMaker, the cross-reference is re-established.
    In other words, when exporting to XML, FrameMaker does not care to what you are referencing. It just converts the cross-reference element into an element with an attribute in the XML file. So, it should work as expected when opened in FrameMaker. Of course, I am assuming your read-write file is set up to handle cross-references.
    On the other hand, IF you are creating your cross-reference from the structured file by simply inserting a cross-reference, that is NOT as an element, then I do not know what happens. If it is being exported as text, then I am not sure FrameMaker will know what to do with it when you reopen the XML file.
    Hope this helps,
    Van

  • Compatibility between Java crypto and open ssl

    Hello
    I have some question about compatibility between java crypto and openssl library.
    This is my case:
    1.I created DESede key and stored it to file:
    SecretKey key = KeyGenerator.getInstance("TripleDES").generateKey();
    File f = new File("c:\\key.dat");
    DataOutputStream dos =new DataOutputStream(new FileOutputStream(f));
    dos.write(key.getEncoded());
    dos3.close();2.I encrypt some file "c:\\normal.dat" through:
    ecipher.init(Cipher.ENCRYPT_MODE, key2);
      byte[] enc = ecipher.doFinal(normalData);
      File f2 = new File("c:\\enc.dat");
      DataOutputStream dos =new DataOutputStream(new FileOutputStream(f2));
      dos.write(enc);
      dos.close();

    You have carefully left out some critical java code, namely the Cipher.getInstance() method. You'll notice in the documentation for this method that there 3 components to the "transform" argument of this method, the algorithm, the mode, and the padding. All of these must match exactly with the what openssl is using. Furthermore, if you are using one of the modes which require an IV, like CBC mode, then this must match exactly too. If you don't explicitly specify some of these parameters, you might get default values supplied. It is up to you to find out what these are.

  • I have activated 2 iPhones using my iTunes account, but I now would like to take one iPhone off this account, and start its own iTunes "pairing" in order to back up, without cross syncing between purchases, how can I do this?

    Whats the best method for this?

    Many thanks

    Whenever a menu choice is grayed out, that is because you have Restrictions turned on in Settings.  Be sure to turn it off.
    You are confusing an itunes store account with an icloud account.  You two can continue using the same ID for itunes (thus sharing purchased music, apps, etc.), but you really should have separate accounts (different IDs) for icloud, since an account is intended for one user to keep his/her devices in sync.
    To create a new icloud account, go to
    http://www.apple.com/icloud/setup/
    Then go to Settings>icloud and scroll to the bottom of the screen and tap Delete Account.  (have restrictions turned off)  That will disconnect the device from the account but will not delete data in icloud or other devices.  Then sign in using the new ID.

  • How do I get home video clips from iMovie Mac to iMovie iPad?  Surely there is some degree of cross-compatibility?  I have a load of clips in iMovie on my MBP that I wanna download to my iPad2 so that I can edit movies on the move.  Any ideas?

    How do I get home video clips from iMovie Mac to iMovie iPad?  Surely there is some degree of cross-compatibility?  I have a load of clips in iMovie on my MBP that I wanna download to my iPad2 so that I can edit movies on the move.  Any ideas?  (The clips are in a .mov format, they have been imported / converted into this format in iMovie, original files were from a JVC camcorder in some other strange format.)

    I copied the iTunes file from the external drive and it's in both places.  I thought all I would need is the iTunes program (which I downloaded to new computer) and my iTunes library file.  There must be something else that's missing.  My iTunes library looks the same on the new computer as it does when I open it on the external drive.  If I click on an iTunes library song from my new computer, it will only play if I have the external drive plugged in.
    My back-up drive is a mess.  I have multiple copies of music, video, photo, and document files and I don't know how that happened. ={  Obviously, I don't know how to back up stuff properly and there are back-up files extending over a 6- to 8-year period.  I think all I did was just drag and drop the main folders from the back-up drive to the same main folders on the C: drive.  Also (and I'm kind of fuzzy on this) Windows used to automatically save music files in a folder within my document files (which makes no sense to me).  As my Jewish friends would say, "Oy Vey!"

    iWeb cannot import published files so you would need rebuild the site.
    Yahoo hosting is notoriously poor and their tech support is awful. I would suggest you look for new hosting and start afresh. Some pointers for choosing hosting...

    If you do choose to go this route, transfer your domain name registration away from Yahoo to your new host.
