Does FCPx make use of GeForce GT 750M?

    I am considering a MacBook Pro for FCPx editing. I have a tricked out iMac at home but need something for use when gone. I have an older Macbook Pro that is functional but slow and it requires me to do all my work in Proxy when I get any multicam editing (two camera) on the timeline.
    I'm looking for the minimum configuration that will let me do 2 camera multicam without worrying about creating proxy or optimized footage and as I look at that I wonder if FCPx really makes full use of the GeForce GT found on the top of the line MacBook Pro. If it doesn't, there's no need to throw money at it. FCPx is the only app I run that would make any difference to me with regard to the graphics card.
     I'll get an SSD for sure, 256 is enough. I have too much footage to even think about internal storage so all that's needed for the machine is the OS and apps. 16GB ram is a no brainer so I can run multiple apps more easily. The question for me seems to come down to processor speed selection and whether I need the discreet graphics card. I figured I'd find the answer easily but not so. Thoughts?

I found a review at https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=s4rgL9dW7mw that answers the question in the affirmative. The video card is used to a great extent and makes for a much better fcpx platform.

Lightroom does NOT make use of new/fast hardwares!

For those who are considering a new computer here's my experience....
Lightroom 4 does NOT make full use of new/fast CPUs / SSDs!
I’ve been frustrated with Lightroom speed since launch and held on to my “old” Xeon work station for two years…. I recently invested in the latest Intel CPU and IO technology and I'm very disappointed how Lightroom 4 does not make use of it. It's most noticeably sluggish from one photo to the next during editing. This may seem small but when I edits hundreds of images everyday it really slow me down.
See my system specs at very bottom of this post. I don't think there's a bottle neck in performance! I love my new setup and it's a pleasure to use the OS. BUT I'm so disapointed everytime I load up Lightroom. (My typical Lightroom edits are 600-900 sRAW images - I edit down my photos in Photo Mechanic 5! It's just too slow in Lightroom)
Lightroom still take time to load each image when advance from one image to the next (During editing). Isn’t smart enough to cache 100 images in advance let say. (1:1 previews as been created!)
Won’t make use of more than 8GB ram. No matter how big the RAW working set is.
Very slow switching from one working module to another
Lightroom Jpeg export won’t make use of more than 25% of new Intel Xeon E5 series dual processors processing power 12 cores. 6-9 cores are literally taking a nap during export!
I’ve tried everything found in Adobe suggestion link below:
http://helpx.adobe.com/lightroom/kb/optimize-performance-lightroom.html
* I definately tried 1:1 render preview and all of the other jazz found in link directly above!
* Running all latest firmwares and updates
I hope the next version of Lightroom will actually make use of good hardware instead of adding on more features. We desperately need a snappy/responsive Lightroom for sake of productivity! I'm not here to put down Adobe. I'm a big fan of Adobe and Intel and have been using them for 15 years.
My Setup:
Dell Workstation T7600
Dual Xeon E5-2630 2.5GHz (12 Cores Total)
64GB 1600Mhz RAM
OCZ RevoDrive 3X2 - 1500MB/s (Boot / Camera Raw Cache)
4 Intel 520 Series SSD in RAID0 with dedicated 1GB Cache SAS/SATA PCIe 3.0 controller (Working RAW files)
Nvidia GTX680 - 4GB VRAM (I know this made for 3D but it has PCIe 3.0 connectivity - Quadro 4000 PCIe 2.0 wasn't any better)
Drobo-S 2GBx5 (Strictly Storage)
Windows 7 Ultimate (Bare minimum! Just Adobe CS6 suite and Microsoft Office 2010)

Can you copy this to the Feature Request forum so we can vote on it please? http://feedback.photoshop.com/photoshop_family And then post the link here so we can find it. It'll get my vote.
There are a couple of others you might like to vote on too, such as using the embedded preview for editing down. http://feedback.photoshop.com/photoshop_family/topics/lightroom_capability_to_display_embe dded_preview
In terms of workarounds for now, if you haven't tried the 4.2RC yet, you might find the module switching a bit faster. And for better use of your exports processing power, try splitting your export into 3 or 4 and running them concurrently (i.e. set the first going, and immediately set the second going, etc.) as that'll make better use of the extra cores if your hard drives are able to keep up with them.

Does Logic make use of Midi Time Stamp

Hi,
Id like to know if Logic make use of MTS or "Midi Time Stamp" to get enhanced midi timing with MOTU or Digidesign midi interfaces?

IPhone 4 does not make or receive calls/text at a location it used to.HELP!

I started experiencing this sometime last week. It does not make any sense to me so I ask you. My phone does not make or receive phone calls and texts while I am at my workplace. It had worked find from when I got the phone (Late August) through January. If it stopped working completely I'd figure it was a dead zone or something, although they do not just pop up out of nowhere. But it works sporadically. Like if i got to send a text maybe 1 out of every 4 will work, same with receiving them. And this is the same with phone calls. I will receive a call, get through maybe 15 seconds of it, then the call gets dropped. Then for the remainder of the day (as I do not use it much during work) it will not receive a call, it goes right to voicemail. I have tested this by repeatedly calling my phone from my work landline. It rings fine on that end, so others wouldn't suspect I am having an issue, and goes to voicemail. I left a voicemail and my phone did not alert me to it for over 10 minutes (it never told me I had a missed call) During this timeframe I also attempted to make phone calls from my iPhone, they would not ring, it would immediately drop. But again, it is sporadic. So after 5 or 6 times of attempting making phone calls one goes through. I had made an appointment at the Apple Store the first day that this happened but once I was on the road to the store I got all my texts, voicemails, pictures that I had attempted to send earlier, so I thought it pointless since I had no real proof of this happening. But now it seems to happen everyday, it just happened which prompted me to write this. Again, its only at work, and only recently started happening. There is no cell tower issue, everyone elses phone works here. I have turned off the phone, both a soft and hard reset, reset network setting, turned off/on 3G, Cell Data, taken out the SIM, moved it, etc. Everything short of getting another phone, but it works perfectly fine everywhere else. Any ideas???

I ended up taking my phone in to the Genius Bar, but we were unable to diagnose the problem. The genius said she had never seen anything like this before. We tried everything to figure out if it was hardware or software related, but never concluded anything. Instead of paying >$150 to fix/replace, I bought the iPhone5. iPhone5 is amazing. Maybe it was fate.

Hey guyz.. i wanna ask if i get an updated version from itunes when i plug my iPhone into the Pc, i get a letter tells me that there is an update for your iPhone ... i wanna ask is it safe to download ?? and does it make any side effects on longTerm using

It is safe to download if your phone is not jailbroken. Before you download it, however, take some precautions:
Reboot your computer
Disable your antivirus and firewall
Connect the phone cable to a USB port directly on the computer, not a hub
Before updating right click on the name of the phone in iTunes and choose "Backup"
When you are given the choice choose "Download only", not "Download and Update"
After the download completes successfully click the Update button to install it.
Most of these steps are just being overly cautious, as most people ignore them and have no problems. But occasionally the extra steps save grief.

What versions of Xerces-J and Xalan-J does JDK 1.5 make use of

Can any one tell me what versions of Xerces-J and Xalan-J does JDK 1.5 make use of.

Hi all,
I have a class which has a Vector<Vector> data
member.
I expect its collection to contain more collections
hence the Vector<Vector> type.Everything is OK with your concept, except that you just declared a variable of type "Vector of Vectors". Instead, you need to declare it as "Vector of Vector of Objects":
private Vector<Vector<Object>> coll;and initialize it with
coll= new Vector<Vector<Object>>();

Does JCE 1.2.2 make use of a certificate with an expiration date?

Does JCE 1.2.2 make use of a certificate with an expiration
date?
If so, what's the date?

The validation code which checked for certificate expiration was only found in JCE 1.2.1. It WAS REMOVED from JCE 1.2.2 and all successive releases like JCE in JDK 1.4.x and 5.x (and soon in 6.x). This expiration problem was the primary reason for releasing JCE 1.2.2 over three years ago. Export control regulations changed following the release of JCE 1.2.1, and Sun released 1.2.2 shortly thereafter so that customers wouldn't have this expiration problem.
This change is documented as the first bullet in the change log for JCE 1.2.2, which is found both in the product distribution itself and on the following JCE product page:
http://java.sun.com/products/jce/jce122_changes.html
That said, JCE 1.2.2 is indeed signed with a certificate which is valid until October 2006, HOWEVER the JCE 1.2.2 and JCE in JDK 1.4.x/5.x code no longer checks that expiration date. All it cares about is that the code signature is valid.
My understanding is that BOTH JDK 1.3.x and JCE 1.2.2 are slated for End-of-Life on March 30th, 2006, and will no longer be supported by Sun. Both should continue to work after that time, but will no longer be supported.
I hope that helps clear the confusion.

When i import movies from my iPhoto app to my iMovie app does it make a copy (thereby using double the hard disk space) or does it link to my iPhoto app? The reason i ask is i want to archive all my videos from iPhoto/iMovie. HELP!

Hi - I'm having the same problem with freeing up space on the HD. If I can't free space if I'm using any part of the clip, how can I split up the clips so that I can discard the part I won't use? This is crazy! I have only 4 GB of free space left!
Also, I've tried to transfer the project file to my external HD but I keep getting an error saying I can't transfer it. I've been told this is because I don't have enough space on the HD for the transfer. I tried a similar transfer with another computer with plenty of HD space but the same error occurred. Is there a way to break up the project file into small pieces for the transfer (I'm thinking the whole movie file is just too big)?
Thanks for any info!

Does it makes sense to create an index on a column used for partitioning

I am new to using partitions along with index. Can someone help me with the situation below?
I have a table defined like below
CREATE TABLE FACT_MASTER
PERIODCODE NUMBER(8) NOT NULL,
PRODUCT_CD NUMBER(10) NOT NULL,
DPT_CD NUMBER(3),
FACT_VALUE1 NUMBER,
FACT_VALUE2 NUMBER,
FACT_VALUE3 NUMBER,
FACT_VALUE50 NUMBER
PARTITION BY RANGE (PERIODCODE)
partition P1 values less than (2002),
partition P2 values less than (2003),
partition P3 values less than (2004),
This table is partitioned by range on Period code.
In a select query on this table, period code and product code are being used. I am planning to create an index to boost the performance. Does it make sense to include the period code column also in the index? I am planning to create index only for the product code column. I am thinking that the partition itself will act like an index for periodcode. Can someone tell me if this is correct? I am using 10g.

In your scenario I think it's better not to create an index on PERIODCODE because this column probaly has a only few distinct values.
In other scenarios, when in the same partition there are many distinct values of the partitioning key, creating an index can be an advantage for query performances..
But it depends on the specific context...

First time use of camera does not make a sound but use again then shutter sound can be heard

when i first usse the camera on my i phone 4s the shutter does noy make a sound.
when used again then the shutter soound works.....any ideas/????????????

so chris...
It IS in fact "New" as it started a couple of days ago - AND - something indeed has changed = "... updated to iOS 8.1" - BUT - a little unclear about the context of "... when (f)irst released all ok" part? are these two separate statements? "... updated to iOS 8.1 when it [was] first released" and "all was OK prior that point" and then started misbehaving right after the update? - OR are you saying that when "updated to iOS 8.1 [WHEN IT WAS] first released, all was OK - as in the shutter-snap sound worked fine and THEN suddenly began misbehaving"
In these forums, it may be to your advantage to try not using IDevice 'texting' practice of being brief... in here, MORE is more better.
If the update was the beginning of the issue, that may be added to the list of strange things that happen to some and not to others.
I would suggest a visit to the Genius Bar if one is nearby, but older iPhone may only get you so far if you don't stick by your claim that "everything was fine until I updated my iOS 8 version"
as I cannot help, I will leave you in this forum and further advice you may get here in Using iPhone (you know that you started the question out in Using Apple Support Communities forum)

Does my modem need to support 5G in order to make use of the 5G characteristics of my AirPort Extreme?

Hi,
I have a Fritzbox 7360 router which does not support 5G. I have also bought an Airport Extreme and uses this in bridge modus. So the Fritzbox only serves as a modem. The modem does not support 5G however, do I need to have different type of modem in order to optimally make use of the 5G characteristics of the Airport Extreme?
Thanks

No

Does Apple make/sell the new "Apple In-Ear Headphones with Remote and Mic" with a one sided configuration? So that a person that is deaf in one can hear both sides of a stereo recording? Also, since the "other" bud is not necessary/useful...it's removed.

Does Apple make/sell the new "Apple In-Ear Headphones with Remote and Mic" with a one sided configuration? So that a person that is deaf in one can hear both sides of a stereo recording? Also, since the "other" bud is not necessary/useful...it's removed.

As far as I know, Apple sells no such configuration. However, under Settings > General > Accessability, there is an option to play back audio in monoural mode, which would then play both halves of a stereo mix in each earbud.
Hope that helps.

Does not make sense in evaluating data using isnull(Command.name)

Hi,
Environment:
Os - Windows 7
Crystal report developed in CR2008 - .rpt developed and running successfully here with the same formula.
VS2010
CRforVS2010
Does not make sense in evaluating data using isnull(Command.name) function when the report is integrated into VS2010 using Crystal report for VS2010 (13.0.2).
But the same report is running in crystal report 2008 (12.3.0.601) report Dev environment when previewed.
Please reply me ASAP.

Thank you and are you using the MS SQL Native 10 drivers.
And still need to know if you are using ODBC or OLE DB?
Can you copy the SQL in and use the PUBS sample database? Or import the xtreme.mdb and use one those tables. You can get it from our sample reports:

Does PRE10 64-bit REALLY make use of any extra RAM?

I am in the middle of a DVD Burn to Folder with Premier Elements 10 64-bit (installed on Windows 7 Ultimate 64-bit). I have 5 gigs of RAM but according to Task Manager only 2.11 gigs total are in use. Soooo....does the advertised benefit of being able to make use of more RAM really exist? In theory it should, but I feel a bit duped by what I'm seeing.

After taking a closer look at all the Physical Memory items under the Performance tab in Task Manager as well as the Memory tab in Resource Monitor, I realized I didn't quite understand memory usage like I thought I did. I did a bit of Internet searching on the subject and ran across http://brandonlive.com/2010/02/21/measuring-memory-usage-in-windows-7/ which did a good job of clearing things up.
While the Memory bar graph in Task Manager>Performance was showing only 2.11 gigs being used it showed nearly as much memory being Cached. Apparently the two values have to be added in order to determine the total amount of data actually in RAM. The cached data is information that is not currently being dealt with by the processor and held in RAM rather than being written to a page file on the hard drive. Apparently all of my RAM (except for a few MB's) was in use after all.
I am working with VHS captured video that was captured in an H.264 format. Since it is SD video I guess that would help to explain the lower amount of Physical Memory actually in use than what I expected.
Live and learn...
As far as the 5 GB of RAM...yeah it is a bit peculiar. The computer is an older Dell XPS 600 with a Dual-Core 3GHz Pentium and an 800 MHz bus. It originally had 4GB of RAM (Four 1GB sticks). I came into posession of a 2GB stick of RAM and had to pull one of the existing 1GB sticks to use it. So the three original 1GB sticks plus the "newer" 2GB stick gave me a total of 5GB's.
