Doing first project with film. EDL questions.

So I'm doing my first project with Super16 in a month or two and I've got a couple of questions. The workflow will be shoot on 16 > edit in 24p DV > finish on film. I know how to do almost everything right up until we finish editing, but actually getting all the information ready to do a negative cut is something I don't know about. How does Cinema Tools factor into this? What do I need to do about the audio? What sort of windowburn or keycode information do I need to have? Do I do anything different when I import the 24p DV footage? Your help is greatly appreciated.

I have not done what you are attempting, but my understanding is that you should get flex files to bring into Cinema Tools that reflect the keycode/timecode relationship created in telecine. From there you can export a cutlist that should give you keycodes that the neg cutter can work from.
Have you read the manual for Cinema Tools?

First project with 16:9 film

I am doing my first project with film that was captured using the 16:9 mode on my sony camera. My question is if I have to do anything different when importing this footage from the DV tapes to FCE? I noticed there are many posts on this but just want to make sure I am taking the right steps. Thanks.

Anamorphic refers 16:9 and has nothing to do with audio. 32K is the audio sample rate. FireWire Basic should only be used with Canon cameras.
You can select the captured items and in the Anamorphic browser column check them to tell the application the material is supposed to be treated as 16:9.
Also make sure you make a new sequence that's in the correct widescreen aspect after you've changed to the correct settings.

Newbie - First Project with SAP Team... Monitoring Solutions/Strategy?

I just started my first job out of school two weeks ago. My first project is to work on a "monitoring strategy" for our large SAP enterprise system. We have CRM, SRM, ERP, Sol Man, EDOS, XI, etc... I am supposed to dig into each of these portions of SAP and determine what may need monitored and how to set that up... Does anyone have any ideas of how I should get started? I am new to SAP but have a decent high level understanding of it. Any help would be appreciated. Thanks

The first thing about being a newbie (welcome though!) to monitoring questions at SDN is that you need to read the "rules of engagement" first.
These clearly state:
>- Please do not Cross post.
> Post your question in the most appropriate forum; not multiple forums. This is bad netiquette and will might only aggravate potential repliers.
Well, as this NW Admin forum is the most appropriate one and the other 5 which you have cross-posted to are (in my opinion) not, I will not lock this thread here. Most likely your other threads will be deleted or locked by other moderators though.
Please also read the rest of the rules by end of week three... which explain further about what is monitoried in the forums...
Cheers,
Julius

First project completed with FCPX Music Video

I just finished up my first project with FCPX
Its a music video for one of my songs.
I shot and edited the video myself with the help of wife and daughter. The video has since gone off to
a video production house, to transfer to broadcast format for here in Australia (digital beta) and its on its way to TV stations for broadcast.
I have very very little experience with video, and had only just gotten FCPX a couple of weeks before along with
the new canon hfs 20 which i used to shoot the video. It was a whirlwind learning curve 8).
I learned plenty about what not to do the next time I make one. 8)
I got some really great help here on the forum and wanted to say thanks, I wouldnt have been able to do it without it.
www.ozlandmusic.com
is my website where you can see the video.
I have no previous experience as I said with video editing, before FCPX and found the process reasonably intuitive.
It was great to be able to sync the video and audio together..and the effects in FCPX were easy to use, as was keyframing which
i didnt even know existed a couple of weeks back 8)
I really like the product. I am happy with how the video turned out, and I am looking forward to making a better one next time.
Again thanks for the help
cheers
Wiz

Thanks everyone for the kind words.
re first bit of video editing...8)
well, I had used iMovie a couple of times to transfer VHS tapes to DVD and sony home studio once about 4 years ago, and I used windows movie maker once.... but I had never done any "editing" so I take your comment as a compliment.
I literally have no more experience than that. I guess its a testament to how easy FCPX is to use for someone new. I found the things like keyframing, very intuitive, and I have a strong audio background (logic, cubase, sonar etc) and have run a recording studio for many years. So I applied the same sort of techniques to video ediiting, eg look at other peoples work, and try and work out how they do what they do, and then try and duplicate it. There are a wealth of training videos available, and I watched a heap of those, within the first couple of weeks (you tube videos) about how to do things like keyframing, color correction, effects, transform etc.
I certainly am not trying to portray myself as a newbie, whilst secretly having years of experience. I honestly only just started and I hope you can take me at face value.
Just wanted to clear that up.
Again thanks everyone for your support and well wishes. Perhaps some day I can repay some of that to the group.
cheers

First contact with project nile.

hey!
I've written a tiny javafx app which is a [screen ruler|http://www.superduper.org/personal/blog/wordpress/?p=111] which required quite some lines of code.
To shorten it i made my first contact with project nile and i'd like to sum up my experience.
First of all - i watched a few screencasts and it looked really promosing. I instantly installed and exported some graphics. So far so easy, but as soon as I wanted to use the .fx file that was created i got tons of "class .... " not found and "package loader.fxd...." not found. I wasted at least half and hour to figure out that i have to add the javafx-fx.jar file (how come this isn't mentioned in any screencast? or did just I miss this?). Ultimately I figured stuff out, but have a few things i don't like a lot and i think are worth mentioning.
#1 why does it create so many png files? wouldn't it be possible to just inline the binary data?
#2 why do i need that javafx-fxd.... jar file? i really don't want to include a 500k library on a 1k source project.
#3 why multiple files at all? i'd prefer if <my-export-name>.fx was the only file created and needed.
ok, back to netbeans now...
have a great day!

Hello,
thanks for your feedback and sorry about installation problems. Regarding your questions:
#1 why does it create so many png files? wouldn't it be possible to just inline the binary data?The Nile release 1.0 which is planned for end of October will do exactly what you are asking for. Export will create one file, a kind of archive, that will contain the scene description and binary assets like fonts and images.
#2 why do i need that javafx-fxd.... jar file? i really don't want to include a 500k library on a 1k source project.Agreed. We try to make it smaller and eventually the Nile runtime should become part of JavaFX SDK.
#3 why multiple files at all? i'd prefer if <my-export-name>.fx was the only file created and needed.There is a significant distinction between the files <my-export-name>.fxd and <my-export-name>UI.fx. The fxd file contains graphic content and can be used alone as it is. It is preferred for a static content. However if the graphic is "live" and some interaction with code is required then the fx file is useful. We call it UI stub and it serves as an connection link between JavaFX script application logic and 'significant' visual elements. This stub also hides the complexity of the purely visual graphic elements and exposes only the nodes that are used from application logic to create dynamic behavior.
Best regards,
Pavel

Limited navigation in projects with questions

I have a project with special instruction slides provided to support a number of question slides. The question slides and quiz preferences are set for one try and one retake. Students use the skin to navigate back and forth in the project and use the back and submit buttons to work in the questions. Students do not seem to have unlimited back and forth capabilities. Once they are in the retake version of the quiz, when they try to go back and get clarification on special instructions, they are blocked from going forward. Is my only option to separate my instruction slides and question slides into two projects?

Hi, Jon
Thanks for your help.
I will use an unconfigured LH file manager(I mean the file path and name will not be specified.).
Currently, find the temp file will be created in C:\Documents and Settings\$user_name\Local Settings\Temp in windows.
I have two questions on temp file.
1) Does tangosol supply a mechanism to maintain the temp files?
2) In solaris, which place will the temp file be created in?
Thanks,

What does the folder with a question mark mean?

When I power on my black Macbook a white screen appears with a folder with a question mark flashing. what does the folder with a question mark mean? I just replaced the hard drive. When I put the install disc in the cd drive makes a very loud whirring noise then eventually the disc pops back out. Any ideas?

You will need to reinstall:
Reinstall OS X without erasing the drive
Do the following:
1. Repair the Hard Drive and Permissions
Boot from your Snow Leopard Installer disc. After the installer loads select your language and click on the Continue button. When the menu bar appears select Disk Utility from the Utilities menu. After DU loads select your hard drive entry (mfgr.'s ID and drive size) from the the left side list. In the DU status area you will see an entry for the S.M.A.R.T. status of the hard drive. If it does not say "Verified" then the hard drive is failing or failed. (SMART status is not reported on external Firewire or USB drives.) If the drive is "Verified" then select your OS X volume from the list on the left (sub-entry below the drive entry,) click on the First Aid tab, then click on the Repair Disk button. If DU reports any errors that have been fixed, then re-run Repair Disk until no errors are reported. If no errors are reported click on the Repair Permissions button. Wait until the operation completes, then quit DU and return to the installer.
If DU reports errors it cannot fix, then you will need Disk Warrior and/or Tech Tool Pro to repair the drive. If you don't have either of them or if neither of them can fix the drive, then you will need to reformat the drive and reinstall OS X.
2. Reinstall Snow Leopard
If the drive is OK then quit DU and return to the installer. Proceed with reinstalling OS X. Note that the Snow Leopard installer will not erase your drive or disturb your files. After installing a fresh copy of OS X the installer will move your Home folder, third-party applications, support items, and network preferences into the newly installed system.
Download and install the Combo Updater for the version you prefer from support.apple.com/downloads/.

Hello-
I am trying to project a film from an ipad mini with a vga cable to a projector. When tested, the film played, but the ipad did not mirror what was being projected, it was a black screen. I am trying to be able to mirror the devices AND figure out how isolate the window so I can use different menus with the film still playing.
Any one know an app or softward that i can use?
Thank you!

To move an iPhoto Library to a new machine:
Link the two Macs together: there are several ways to do this: Wireless Network,Firewire Target Disk Mode, Ethernet, or even just copy the Library to an external HD and then on to the new machine...
But however you do choose to link the two machines...
Simply copy the iPhoto Library from the Pictures Folder on the old Machine to the Pictures Folder on the new Machine.
Then hold down the option (or alt) key key and launch iPhoto. From the resulting menu select 'Choose Library'
and select the Library that you moved. That's it.
This moves photos, events, albums, books, keywords, slideshows and everything else.
Your first option didn't work because you imported one Library to another. Every version and thumbnail is imported like a distinct photo, you lose all your Albums, Keywords etc., the link between Original and Previews is destroyed, the non-destructive editing feature is ruined and so on. In summary: it's mess.
Your second option didn't work because you simply referenced her library on the old machine.

TD

I have decided to dedicate this thread to the wonderful errors of Lion OSX. Each time I find a huge problem with Lion I will make note of it here.
Today I discovered a new treasure of doggie poop in Lion. No Save As......
I repeat. No Save As. In text editor I couldn't save the file with a new extension. I finally accomplished this oh so majorly difficult task (because we all know how difficult it should be to save a file with a new extension) by pressing duplicate and then saving a copy of the file with a new extension. Yet then I had to delete the first copy and send it to trash. And of course then I have to secure empty trash because if I have to do this the rest of my mac's life I will be taking up a quarter of percentage of space with duplicate files. So this is the real reason they got rid of Save As: so that it would garble up some extra GB on the ole hard disk.
So about 20 minutes of my time were wasted while doing my homework and studying for an exam because I had to look up "how to save a file with a new extension in mac Lion" and then wasted time sitting here and ranting on this forum until someone over at Apple wakes up from their OSX-coma.
are you freaking kidding me Apple? I mean REALLY?!!!! who the heck designed this?!!! I want to know. I want his or her name and I want to sit down with them and have a long chat. and then I'd probably splash cold water on their face to wake them up.
I am starting to believe that Apple is Satan.

Question
HAVING A PROBLEM WHEN I PRINT A WEB PAGE WHICH IS MORE THAT ONE PAGE LONG. ONLY THE FIRST PAGE PRINTS TO SCALE...THE REMAINING PAGES PRINT OFF THE PAGE????HELP-IT IS DEFINITELY A PROBLEM WITH FIREFOX BECAUSE IT DOES NOT HAPPEN WITH SAFARI??

Thank you for the response. I tried to fix the problem with some of the suggestions on that page, but none seem to work. I believe that is the only website that I'm having that problem on. I got to fooling with it a bit more and when I highlight the whole page and select to print the selected area, it actually prints the whole page then, but it won't do it as a default. I guess I can just do it like that from now on, but I thought there would be something in the settings that I could have changed. Thanks again for the help.

High School Student Having Trouble With Film Project

Hey everyone,
This is the first project I'm making with Final Cut, and whenever I log and capture a clip I get the following message:
"The audio sample rate of one or more of your captured media files does not match the sample rate on your source tape. This may cause the video and audio of these media files to be out of sync. Make sure the audio sample rate of your capture preset matches the sample rate of your tape."
Does anybody know how I can fix this? Where can I find the sample rate of my tape?
Thanks!

Each cam may be a little different, but drill down into your cam's menu to find something like Audio Settings. You are looking for 48K or 32K. Your project's Easy Setup has to match those settings ... DV NTSC for 48K or DV 32 or 32K
Now, I was working with a version of Final Cut (5.1? not really sure) that gave that warning even when everything was kosher.
But definitely check to make sure everything matches .. if it doesnt, it will lead to sync issues

Film? Have you dropped a movie file into your Logic project as well? You need to be a little clearer.

How do I download Adobe Flash Player on my MacBook Pro? It says that I have to disable my antivirus software but I never installed one. Does it come with the Mac in the first place?

How do I download Adobe Flash Player on my MacBook Pro? It says that I have to disable my antivirus software but I never installed one. Does it come with the Mac in the first place? If so, how can I disable it or get Adobe Flash Player?

That message is just a standard one issued, mainly for Windows users, you can disregard it if you didn't install any anti-virus. (OS X has one installed by Apple that doesn't interfere)
It's just some forms of anti-malware are really paranoid and lock the entire machine down. (like Norton)

HT5312 So I have a problem with iTunes not letting me download anything without first responding to some security questions which I don't remember setting up, how can fix it? Oh, and it won't let me reset the questions either!

So I have a problem with iTunes not letting me download anything without first responding to some security questions which I don't remember setting up, how can fix it? Oh, and it won't let me reset the questions either!

If you mean that you aren't getting the reset link, then from the page that you posted from :
Note: The option to send an email to reset your security questions and answers will not be available if a rescue email address is not provided. You will need to contact iTunes Store support in order to do so.
You can contact iTunes Support in your country via this page : http://support.apple.com/kb/HT5699
When they've been reset you can then use the steps half-way down the HT5312 page that you posted from to add a rescue email address for potential future use
