CS5 custom build with GTX 285 for long-form 4k projects

I've been researching nonstop for several days, and it's time to ask for your expert opinions. I would appreciate any help.
I'm ordering a new system for Production Premium CS5, and mostly I will use Premiere Pro CS5 to edit long-form projects (huge timelines with thousands of clips) of Red 4k footage. It's a feature film with only a few F/X shots, but we'd like to do as much F/X, sound mixing, and color correction in CS5 as possible.
Here is what I'm considering:
CUSTOM BUILD from CYBERPOWERPC (about $1950 including items not listed):
OS: Windows 7 Professional x64
CPU: Intel® Core™ i7-930 2.80 GHz 8M Intel Smart Cache LGA1366
HDD: 1TB SATA-II 3.0Gb/s 16MB Cache 7200RPM HDD (Single Hard Drive)
MOTHERBOARD: * (3-Way SLI Support) GigaByte GA-X58A-UD5 Intel X58 Chipset SLI/CrossFireX Ultra Durable™3 Mainboard DDR3/1600 ATX Mainboard w/7.1 Dobly Audio,eSATA,Dual GbLAN, USB3.0, 2 x SATA-III RAID,IEEE1394a,4 Gen2 PCIe,2 PCIe X1 &1 PCI [+132]
MEMORY: 12GB (2GBx6) DDR3/1600MHz Triple Channel Memory Module [+219] (Kingston HyperX)
SOUND: Creative Labs SB X-Fi Xtreme Audio 24-BIT PCI Sound Card [+48]
VIDEO: Nvidia GeForce GTX 285 (I will have to take out their card and install this myself for GPU acceleration)
1. Do you see any poor or strange decisions?
2. I liked that mobo because of the chipset's possibilities and because it has 1394 for old-style DV capture. Plus it has 8 SATA 2.0's, 2 SATA 3.0's, 2. eSATA 2.0's, and 2 USB 3.0's for huge/fast storage options in the future. Is there some better alternative if I'm keen to have at least one of each of these formats?
3. I'll clone their 1TB OS drive onto a smaller 250GB drive to use as the OS drive, then use their 1TB drive as part of a 2TB RAID 0 video storage. Will using the mobo's raid controller or some type of virtual RAID (like I did in Xp64) be fine, or do I need a separate RAID controller (like I had in the late 90's).
4. What do you think about that processor and RAM for what I'm doing? Any reason to prefer 2 Quad-Core's (if dual processors are even compatible with CS5)? Please let me know if the current configuration will lag with huge timelines with thousands of 4k clips.
5. Maybe I don't need the Creative sound card and could just use the mobo's sound?
6. Will it be simple for me to remove their graphics card and install an Nvidia GeForce GTX 285 myself?
7. The Nvidia GeForce GTX 285 seems like a good fit for GPU acceleration for me since I'm not expecting to have 4+ layers of videos, though I will be doing multiple effects on 1 or 2 layers. Would having a Quadro FX give any advantage over the GTX 285 for huge timelines with thousands of 4k clips? Or any advantages for any other use?
8. The GTX 285 has 2 DVI's as its only connectors (plus something that looks like S-video). Can I use one DVI for my workstation and one DVI for monitoring video in realtime on an HDMI/DVI-equipped LCD TV or professional HD video monitor. Any problems with viewing/outputting my 4k video in HD in realtime? What is the best setup to view your video on an external monitor? Back in the CS2 days I used a 1394 through a camcorder into an analog professional monitor, but that's not going to be HD, plus I heard there's a sync problem these days.
Thanks for your advice.

Thanks for your advice, everyone!
I'm gaining a lot of knowledge, but I have some followups so I'll break it down into subcategories and hopefully you can chime in on one or more topics.
To give more info about my daily use and purpose:
--smoothly edit huge amounts of RED 4k footage/clips and view the video externally in as high a resolution as possible (2k or minimum of 1k).
---no reason to have more than 3 layers visible at a time.
--the vast majority of the time only 1 video layer (with video effects) will be visible, with perhaps a handful of fades/dissolves during the entire 2-hour feature.
--I don't mind if it takes slightly more time rendering DPX files at the end, but I don't want any hiccups and never want to render during day-to-day editing and monitoring.
GRAPHICS CARD and VIDEO MONITORS
1. I'm pretty much set on the GTX 285, but I wondered if for my purposes I'd get any significant benefit from the Quadro FX 5800 (+$2000-$2600) or the GTX 480 (+$100)? Either in speed of playback or in output to external video monitors. The 5800 has 4GB RAM versus the GTX 285's 1GB, and the GTX 480 has 1.5 GB. Does this RAM matter for what I'm doing or are the cores much more important? Also, if I chose the GTX 480 then I'd have to pray that everything would be stable with a MPE/CUDA/GPU-acceleration hack, or hope Adobe comes through with full support of that card.
2. What is the 3rd output on the GTX 285? There are two DVI outputs and then something that looks like S-Video. Is it S-video out? Or an HD audio out that travels alongside the DVI output to an external video monitor?
3. Does it slow down the system to send the video at 1k or 2k to an external video monitor since you'd be using both DVI outputs simultaneously?
RED 4k PLAYBACK and RAM vs CPU
1. For day-to-day editing, I'm fine scaling to 1/4 resolution if necessary and monitoring video externally at 1k or 2k. Would my current system already achieve that smoothly?
2. From what I've gathered here and elsewhere, for better 2k or 4k playback it might be better to spend extra on CPU rather than RAM. I could spend
--$1000 more for 24GB RAM (instead of 12GB)
--$290 more for an i7 975 Extreme 3.33 GHz 8M Cache
--$686 more for an i7 980x Extreme 3.33 GHz 12M cache.
Given my needs and the current total system cost of $1950, which of these 3 would you choose? Or should I stay with the cheaper i7 930 2.8 GHz and overclock (which I've never done before).
ECBowen:
It sounds like you've used a system similar to what I'm buying to playback RED 4k on a timeline in full, 1/2, and 1/4 scale. I'd greatly appreciate if you could clarify YES/NO for which are possible to have SMOOTH PLAYBACK with your 980x/12GB RAM/GTX 285 system. I know it's a lot to ask, but it would make me feel so much better about this big purchase:
-full scale 4k of 1 layer with 0 video effects
-full scale 4k of 3 layers with 0 video effects
-full scale 4k of 1 layer with 3 video effects
-full scale 4k of 3 layers with 3 video effects (NO, right?)
-1/2 scale of 1 layer with 0 video effects
-1/2 scale of 3 layers with 0 video effects
-1/2 scale of 1 layer with 3 video effects
-1/2 scale of 3 layers with 3 video effects
-1/4 scale of 3 layers with 3 video effects
RAID CONTROLLER
1. I won't use the virtual/software controller. The GigaByte UD5 says it has RAID 0, 1, 5, 10. Does that mean it has an onboard hardware controller that I can configure in Windows 7 or using some software supplied with the mobo?

Slow computer with spinning rainbow for long periods

slow computer with spinning rainbow for long periods, how do I correct this ?

Do you have any experience with hardware upgrades? Even a beginner could install some RAM in a Macbook, that is a very simple process and can often give you a major, noticable speed boost. For a more advanced upgrade, you can also replace your harddrive with a newer, faster one. I recomment ifixit.com for all the parts you might need to upgrade your machine. I have upgraded my White Mid-2010 Unibody macbook to 8GB of RAM and a 1TB SSD and it runs like a champ.

Early 2009 MacPro with GTX 285 (Mac Edition) - Dual Monitor Setup

Hey Guys - I tried going through the forum to find this, and I think I see some common responses, but wanted to detail my question and make sure I have it right.
I have a MacPro (early 2009) with the EVGA GeForce GTX 285 Mac Edition GPU. I replaced the GT120 that came with the MacPro. I was initially planning on attaching two monitors to the GTX 285, but I have heard rumors that for smoother performance, I should hook up the GT120 as well and hook up one monitor to that one.
However, I am reading posts regarding other configurations (4870 and GT120, etc), and it seems like there are different responses. Basically, I am looking for better performance for graphics demanding application (gaming, photo-edit, movie, etc).
Thanks for your time and responses ahead of time.

I'm so happy that you're soooo happy. If you were so so happy, I would be disappointed. Blessed? You honor me Japamac-san. I have not bestowed blessings in years, it must have been accidental. Well, I am getting old, there's a reason people move away from me on the subway. I'm glad you interpreted it that way.
Well, ok, the cats out of the bag. I do expect 10.6.2 to do something significant for this card. For gosh sake something has to one day justify this investment...
Both EVGA and Nvidia say it's all up to Apple.
Apple says,... well Apple never says anything,.. but since they sell it on their website one would think it was in their interest to do their best. It's really not nice to sell one card as a 200 dollar option, granted 350 by itself, and another for well over 400 that is only marginally better. It's like looking for a Ford, changing your mind for the Porsche, and ending up getting a Ford with a Porsche sticker on it. This card wails in Windows, how can Apple deny that performance to it's own OS?
While OS changes are incremental one doesn't necessarily expect that all things related to the industry will be. CUDA and Open CL are emerging technologies, but the 285 is real and out there. And it has been for quite some time now. Perhaps more honest marketing campaigns are needed, something like, "Here's the best video card for the Mac out there in existence, you'll just have to wait a few years to see that for yourself, maybe".
Nah, it's not right, you buy a product for what it is, not for what it could be. If it gets better over time that's great, but right from the start it should be worth the price. The 285 hasn't been that yet.
And we 285 owners waited for Snow, with all the talk of Apple's unleashing the power of the GPU. It came and the card ran slower. 10.6.1,... well at least the OS ran better. 10.6.2, well I can't say much about it, but if one can believe what they read, it looks like Apple is at least aware of certain things to be especially worked on. The question for me is to what degree they fine tune things. Can it really be as difficult to create a driver for Nvidia cards, unlike the drivers for ATIs which seem to work with such ease? It's almost like Apple and ATI are intrinsically bound somehow. For instance, with the 285 a new game like COD4 runs just perfectly for me with a 30" monitor, but another game under Rosetta runs not too well at all. Put the 4870 in and COD4 runs very well but not as good as the 285. The Rosetta game however runs great with the ATI. It's things like that I find to be very weird.
If the history of OS X has shown us anything
The history of anything only shows me we learn nothing from it. That's my biggest fear in this case, but I'm encouraged by what I hear.
Expecting 10.6.1 or even 10.6.2, .3, or even .4 to be perfect
That's an odd thing isn't it? How long would car companies last if they fine tuned their cars by analyzing how they failed and crashed for their customers on the road? "Yo, Edsel, I think we need a way to stop them once they're going".
Yet as much as we pay for our computers and equipment we realize that the companies are using us as their R&D Depts. It's an interesting cycle, we're sold things that don't work well, give feedback to make them work well, and next time we buy the better product and it starts all over again.
Well, it's been an interesting chat, full of sound and fury, signifying... well, probably something.

Spry validation problem for long forms

I used the Spry Validation Widgets for my form validation. It
works great, BUT the problem is that if you have a very long form
and the user doesn’t fill in one of the top required fields,
it doesn’t scroll the browser back up to the required field,
or present a message next to the submit button telling the person
that not all required fields have been filled in. Nothing appears
to happen at all, which would be confusing to users. I added my own
message underneath the Submit button which reads "If this form does
not submit, check for required entries at the top of this page.*",
but is there a way to add an extra popup message that could appear
next to the Submit button instead? (I know that we can't mix the
Validate Form behavior with the Spry Validation widgets.)

Came across the same issue as well. To solve this I added in
three lines of code into the 'SpryValidationTextField.js' file that
is created via DW. Inside of that include look for the following
code:
if (!Spry.Widget.Form.validate) {
Spry.Widget.Form.validate = function(vform) {
var isValid = true;
var isElementValid = true;
var q = Spry.Widget.Form.onSubmitWidgetQueue;
var qlen = q.length;
for (var i = 0; i < qlen; i++) {
if (!q
.isDisabled() && q.form == vform) {
isElementValid = q
.validate();
isValid = isElementValid && isValid;
return isValid;
Right before you return the "isValid" parameter you want to
check and see if the value is false. If it is, have the page
refreshed to a specific html anchor. For example:
if (isValid == false) {
window.location.hash = "formtop";
return isValid;
Where "formtop" is would be the name of your html anchor tag
on the page. So right before my html form starts I have:
<a name="formtop"></a>
Hope that helps ... enjoy!

Issue with Customize program for Dunning Forms

Hi Experts
I have write a perform for dunning form in a outside report apart from standard print program. After doing some calculations I want print some information in the form using the function module "Write_Form", but I am not able write on the form.
Please advise me is there any other settings are additional details are required to print the custome lines in the dunning form. Dunning form also customized in this scenario.
Awaiting for your reply
Thanks
Praveen

Hi Shakeel
Thanks for your help, I am using Write_Form only, but not able to write the statements in the Form.
Let me explain my code here.
1. I wrote the perform in the SAP Script under a text element.
2. In that perform(in the program) I am calling other text elements, where I have to write the statements.
But I dont know, what is the problem here, when I debug the Write_Form FM, in the very first statement itself, it is becoming false and coming out from the whole process. That statement is
check co_perform-active <> true.
Please advise me, am I doing anything wrong or is there any other process to fullfill it.
Thanks
Praveen

Does anybody know how I would go about building a kit designer for a dreamweaver website project im working on please.

Building a sporting website as part of a project im undertaking, want to build a kit designer but not sure where to start, and help or advice would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks.

Its sort of a plugin you would build and add on to a page where people are able to select a a certain shirt for example, and then customise design colour etc, an example of this would be on Rugby Kit Designer | Akuma Sports.

Creation of Custom IDoc with Message control for sales Order

Hi all,
I am trying to create custom Outbound IDoc with message control.
I wrote the code in a function module and i want to register that function module. (as in inbound registration of function module as in BD51).I am not knowing if that registration is necessary for outbound Idoc, if so in which transacition?
Please list me the steps to create a custom IDoc for Message control.
Thanks in advance,
Regards,
John.

Hi,
You need to use FM : MASTER_IDOC_DISTRIBUTE to create outbound idoc.fill the data in the tables EDIDC,EDIDD and generate the IDOC.
check this link:
Re: Master_IDoc_Distribute
and use transaction : WEDI for IDOC configurations.
here you will have all the transactions(step by step) to set the outbound IDOC configurations.

Custom Prompts with manual input for filtering

Hi,
In Bex I need a user prompt which can accept only 1 of 3 possible manual input values:
   Flash
   Actual
   blank
If the input value is Flash, then filter Version = 'ZFL'
If the input value is Actual, then filter Version = '#'
If the input value is blank, then filter Version = 'XYZ'   (goal here is to filter out all values)
Can this be done via Replacement Path processing, or should it be via CMOD assuming that's possible?
Thanks in advance!

Hi ,
If Flash ,Actual ,blank are one info object values
then create a charecterstic variable with user entry default with Single value then automatically it takes only one value.after this restrict flash with ZFL,version with # & blank withXYZ.
If Flash ,Actual ,blank are not one info object values u will go for customer exit.
Hope this helps.
Thanks,
sai.

Dreamweaver CS6 PhoneGap build with Camera support for Android Device

I am trying to build a simple app that triggers the camera in my Samsung N7000 device.
I have built the app using Dreamweaver CS6 using the builting phonegap build support.
I am using the Windows version of Dreamweaver CS6.
When the app is built it shows no errors but when the app is installed on the device it does not trigger the camera.
I can not seem to get this very basic app to trigger the camera.
Any suggestions will be very much appreciated.

Workflow; from (illustrator) design to Flash Builder (with no room for interpretation)

Dear all,
A couple of years ago, we've made quite a bold move to start developing a large ERP application using Flex. The workflow was straight forward; functional and graphic designs were developed almost simultaneously (using Illustrator for the graphic part) and subsequently Catalyst would be used to convert the illustrator designs to usable code in Flash Builder.
Since Catalyst has been discontinued, we've been dealing with a real gap which is recently been widened due to the fact we've started using later versions (Adobe CC). Thus, we are in need of some advice. We need solutions to move from an illustrator design to flash builder without our developers having to execute design tasks or interpret designs while coding. Basically my questions are as follows:
- How do I get .ai files over to Fb leaving no room for interpretation (dimensions, colors, gradients, blends, padding, etc)?
- What is the best flow in case we want to also add some interactivity / animation to our designs without having to dive into the code, in order to convey our ideas to our developers?
I have browsed forums and watched several training videos, but all I can find are workflows from design to web. Surely, you guys can help me out!
Thanks,
David

Frequent Best Buy customer--but won't be for long!!

I want to know where I can bring my complaint. I will be looking for a response, and I will continue to post (and I want to make people aware of this, so not just on the Best Buy forums) and call until I receive an appropriate response. I purchased a dishwasher at the Bridgewater Commons NJ Best Buy on July 18th. The dishwasher was a Samsung, the exact one I wanted, but an open box, so it was discounted at about 50% off. I was told it could not be delivered or installed for 10 days, so I said okay, fine, I will wait. At this point, I had been without a working dishwaher for 2 weeks, and you can imagine, with a family of five, I was anxious for one to be delivered. Ten days later, the delivery arrives, and the delivery/installation company says "you may want to check this out, it's got some scratches." I had thoroughly inspected it at the store, and it was PERFECT. There was nothing wrong, and it was deemed to be in PERFECT condition, and WORKING condition by two store employess. I did see the scratches, and they were not huge, so I said that I would take the dishwasher (meanwhile the store had offered to knock off another $50 to $100) and asked the installer to proceed. At this point, he begins to remove my old one, and the new one comes in, and the other installer says "you might want to check this out--there is a broken part inside." The installer recommends I don't install the dishwasher at this point, and so I call Best Buy and ask them what to do. One employee has told me she will put this farther up the chain (to the escallation dept?) and I will receive a call in 2 to 4 hours. I never do. The next day I am travelling, which makes it hard to call the store, be put on hold, get call backs, etc. but I call several times, and speak to Belchan. He is the department manager. He has no idea where the dishwasher is, and asks me what part is brokem (like I would know) and has no idea the dishwasher is even scratched. He tells me there is no dishwasher that is comparable for that price, and so would I like to buy it new for 20% off? At this point I ask to speak to the store manager, but Belcahn says that his store manager will only offer 20% off a new one. Several times I ask to speak to the store manager, but they never put him on the phone; it is like they offer him a full staff of protectors so he will never have to actually speak to a customer. Finally, I decide that the original dishwasher is a great deal, and it is the one I want, and he has offered another $100 off, so I ask to have it installed anyway, and we can just order the part. These conversations have taken course over a few days, and I am now 2 weeks from the original purchase. Belchan calls me back and tells me he tracked down the dishwasher, and it is unsaleable condition, so I cannot have the original dishwasher. He again offers me 20% off a new one. I again ask to speak to the store manager, and he is unavailable, so I ask for a call back. I never receive one. I am now 3 1/2 weeks without a working dishwasher. I have not heard back from anyone at the Bridgewater Commons Store. I will be spending the whole day tomorrow shopping for a new dishwasher (probably at another location) and looking for resolution with Best Buy. My biggest issue, aside from the lack of call backs, and the promise of a working dishwasher at a given price is this: I have purchased a refridgerator, a wahsher and dryer, and a dishwasher all from Best Buy over the course of three months. I have spent A LOT of money there. Would they really want to lose my business?

Hello cpestorious,
Welcome to the forum. Living in a household of five people (could be more if the kid's friends are over) I can completely understand the need to have a good reliable dishwasher. Ours broke down about 2 years ago, and we were unable to replace until 6 months later so trust me when I say, I can completely relate to how frustrated you are right now. It sounds like buying this open box dishwasher has been quite an ordeal, and I'm very sorry to hear no one has been able to offer you a satisfactory resolution.
Using the e-mail you registered on the forum, I was able to locate the order, and I will be looking into this further to see how I can hopefully turn this into a much better experience for you. We truly appreciate your business, and sincerely would be saddened if you chose somewhere else to purchase your appliances. I assure you I will be in contact as soon as I have more information.
Once again, I apologize for any disappointment this may have caused, and you should hear back from us soon.

Does anyone leave the player with the charger for longer than 3 hou

Like if they decided to charge the player up before going to bed? The book advises against it because of overheating issues, but shouldn't chargers know when to stop repleneshing energy to the battery?

This may be a little off topic, but knowing now it's ok to leave it plugged in and (according to another thread) have it plugged in when transfering files...at the risk of revealing crass ignorance, can I have it plugged in while listening to it so as to preserve battery life still further (ie if I'm sitting on a chair or in bed, not running with 3 km of flex trailing out behind me!)? According to the manual this is a no no, but surely...
