DVCPRO HD Workflow? What is the CODEC?

What is the best or preferred workflow to edit and export the final project for highest quality output? Background: we shot our film on The HVX 200 - 24p, 16 x 9 - 720p. Our editor imported the files with this codec, however, I'm not confident that we are seeing the highest quality HD in the final product. How do check I if the codec is correct and what do I export to for the highest HD output?
Your help is greatly appreciated.

The client did not specify a specific output other that simply "The Best". I realize that does not help
Not at all. Ignorant clients make things difficult. They need to choose a format...and they need to make an informed choice on that format. First off, find out what formats these festivals take...that is crucial.
The client did not specify a specific output other that simply "The Best". I realize that does not help
As I stated, DVCPRO HD 720p24.
what should we be exporting the final to for highest quality? DVCPRO HD tape is the best I can do?
Again, depends on what people want and will accept. HDCAM SR is the best you can export...but that is HIGHLY expensive and very FEW companies and festivals have those decks. DVCPRO HD deck will record in the EXACT SAME quality that you shot, so that will be pretty good. But it sounds like you too are a bit in the dark about working with HD. I highly suggest hiring an HD Consultant (post facility) before you get in too deep. Relying on forums for basic support is good, but are full of people who might not know what they are talking about. And I only go so far as I earn a living as a consultant.

What is the best workflow for me, need heavy post production

Hi,
I recently filmed a video where a person was in front of a green screen. The camera broke the video up into several clips. I am going to chroma key out the green screen and there are a lot of effects I want to do.
I'd like to skip straight to AE because I know it better and I have a lot of work there to do. The problem is, I can't hear the audio and it plays real slow.
Is it possible to start in AE or should I start in Premiere? Can you recommend a short series of steps I should take to make this work?
Thanks
Stan

I recently filmed a video where a person was in front of a green screen.
Using what kind of camera? What's the footage's acquisition codec? I'll assume that you're well-versed in lighting for green screen.

It appears you need to know a little more about AE, specifically about RAM previewing:

It would also be good to know what you mean by "skip straight to AE". How are you capturing this video you shot?
Is it possible to start in AE or should I start in Premiere?
I don't know what the rest of your project is like, but for just about any project I've ever heard of, the workflow is to capture video, edit the video, and export the parts that require work in AE. The fact that you have a ton of green-screen clips doesn't have a lot of bearing on that workflow.

What is the best codec to edit footage?

I feel this may be a simple question. I have DVCPROHD footage at 1080p. What is the most efficient way to import my .mov files into Final Cut and which codec should I use when I edit?
Currently, I've been edited in the DVCPROHD format and I use a lot of graphic images in my video. Maybe another question I have is if I should be editing in 720 or 1080? Most of my videos are for the web and I find that when I import my images, I have to scale them up to fit in the frame which causes a drop in quality.
Any advice would be helpful. Thanks.

If you shot DVCPRO HD at 1080p, then you should edit DVCPRO HD 1080p. If you have images, compose them to fit your frame.
You can go to 720p, but then you have encode time added to your process. So if you want 720p, why not shoot 720p?

Why jpeg file exported from Aperture with 300 dpi's it opens with 72 dpi's on PS ( image size)? I've tried several combinations and all give different results. And I am confused on what is the best workflow for me.

Ok.
My workflow is
RAW > Aperture Library > export jpeg high resolution 300 dpi's > one file on PS > edit > Save us jpeg. The I realised that files from PS were being save in a smaller size from the ones exported form Aperture. That is when I went o see <image size> on PS and files were with 72.
Since ten I've trying different things
1. Aperture > export as PSD > open on PS > edit > Save us jpeg = small file (around 15 MB)
2. Aperture > export as jpeg high resolution 300 dpi's > open on PS > CHANGE dpi's to 300 on <image size> edit > Save us jpeg = big file (Huge, actually)
What am I doing wrong? Would someone give me guidance and tell me what is the best workflow, considering I edit photos to deliver to my clients and I shall give them 300 dpi's.
Thank you

What is the Design to Deployment Workflow using DW with WordPress?

I am a Designer and Developer/programmer. This is a complete workflow question: What is the Design to Deployment Workflow using DW with WordPress? For example, is it:
PS/IL > DW > WP? (Photoshop or Illustrator, Dreamweaver, WordPress?)
Or is Edge Reflow inserted between PS and DW?
PS > ER > DW > WP?
Are these workflows iterative and, whats the word, recursive - we are able to go back and forth?
My understanding is that the Edge tools are not up to the coding standards of DW, and ER > DW (Edge Reflow to Dreamweaver) is not seamless or even practical.
Where does the Stack come in? MAMP (or LAMP/WAMP) of course, jQuery/jQuery UI, WordPress and other items; how integrated are these things?
I used to be a Flex developer and quite comfortable with the Design to Dynamic Deployment workflow of Illustrator or Photoshop to Flash Catalyst to Flash Builder; moreover, I thought the Eclipse IDE was excellent with its database introspection capabiliities, debugging etc. Adobe really pushed this workflow, then instead of innovating and standing behind its own product with 98% market penetration, Adobe disembowelled Flash right before everyones eyes.
What about Prototyping, which is certainly part of the process? Fireworks is on the kibosh. Illustrator, while excelling at some aspects falls short of making a functional prototype (unless you're tying in Acrobat to link the pages), and while Photoshop is Edge Reflows darling, Edge seems redundant with DW and spits out twacky code.
(Muse of course is unusable for professional developers, but it makes you wonder why some of those UI elements where not employed in DW whose interface seems antiquated by comparison).
It seems Adobe is bloody all over the place, more like a rabbing drunk with a microphone rather than the dependable go-to software company for creatives the world over.
In my opinion, workflow from beginning to end is important. Having a million different options to try to accomodate everyone is not. Some guidance in this department is greatly appreciated!
Best,
Dylan

I have not used Edge Reflow myself. Nor do I espically like WordPress. But my typical workflow is:
PS for Design Concept and web images.
DW for CSS, HTML & JavaScript.
3rd party editors like Zend Studio & Navicat for PHP & MySql development.

What is the difference between Windows Workflow Activities And SharePoint Workflow Activities in Workflows?

Hi All,
What is the difference between Windows Workflow Activities And SharePoint Workflow Activities in Workflows?
Thanks in Advance!

Hi,
Both are developed with .NET framework, per my knowledge, the biggest difference would be the environment they applied to: one for Windows platform, one for SharePoint platform:

What are the fundamental procurement workflows and tasks?

A discussion has begun in the Knowledge Management branch of SAP about the [Help documentation for SAP Sourcing|http://help.sap.com/saphelp_sourcing_wave7_p/helpdata/en/39/8ee60a3d74482e9e0111c46dc1e23d/frameset.htm]. Many feel that Help could better serve the needs of SAP Sourcing users if it were organized and written along the lines of the regular workflows and tasks performed by procurement professionals. Some questions arise from this discussion that would best be answered by the community of procurement professionals. That's you. Care to take a shot?
What do you think about the idea of reorganizing Help according to procurement workflows?
What exactly are the fundamental workflows and tasks you execute frequently toward the accomplishment of procurement goals?
Take a look at the Table of Contents/navigation bar toward the left side of the SAP Sourcing Help page. Currently, its top-level topics are Getting Started, Workbench, Spend and Compliance, etc. If you could rename those top-level topics with the names of fundamental procurement workflows, what would you name them?
Going down a level, what are the fundamental tasks you must execute within any of the fundamental procurement workflows mentioned above?
Any input you'd give on these questions will help us improve how Help is organized and written as we go forward. It will be greatly appreciated.

What is the best workflow procedure for importing DV SP 16x9 footage into FCP7 and then exporting the best quality 16x9 to standard DVD so that it looks great (or at least good) on a 50" Samsung LCD TV ?????? Please help! anybody?? Thanks!

We are using a Sony HDV-Z7U camera for acquisition. We recently recorded an event using the camera's non HD capabilities. We set the camera to record "DV SP" 16x9 settings on both Mini-DV tape and CF card.
To import the DV SP footage into FCP7 we chose the "DV NTSC anamorphic" setting in the log and transfer settings window. After a successful transfer from the CF card (the CF card held approximately 83 minutes) we checked the size of the file and found it to be 16 Gigs! Why so big? An 83 miniDV tape shot in SD should easily fit on a standard 4.7 gig MPEG2 DVD.
We need to burn DVDs of this show - we sent it to compressor and got horrible quality.
What is the best setting to use in FCP7's log and transfer settings window to import DV SP 16x9 standard def. footage and what is the best method for exporting for outputting this footage to DVD that preserves the original quality of the DV SP footage?? Anyone? Many thanks

> Why so big? An 83 miniDV tape shot in SD should easily fit on a standard 4.7 gig MPEG2 DVD.
No it doesn't. DV is 13GB per hour.
In any case, a Video DVD uses the MPEG 2 codec, not DV.
>What is the best setting to use in FCP7's log and transfer settings window to import DV SP 16x9 standard def.
DV NTSC anamorphic.
>what is the best method for exporting for outputting this footage to DVD...
Use the Compressor DVD preset "Best Quality 90 mins".
>...that preserves the original quality of the DV SP footage?
Not going to happen, you are compressing by a factor of 1:4. Shooting as HDV would have given you better quality material to start with. DV is at the bottom end of the scale.

What's the work can we do for the position SAP-Workflow developer live link

Hi,
I got the requirement as a workflow developer.
The requirement is to work as a SAP-Workflow live link open text developer.
What does the live link open text means?
Early reply is highely appriciable.
Regards,
Chow.

Hi,
OpenText is a company providing different document management and archiving solutions. LiveLink is one of their archiving solutions. (Just use Google for more reference.)
My guess is that you need to work with a workflow process that involves archiving of scanned invoices.

What is the windows server 2013 license version than I need to install workflow manager 1.0

what is the windows server 2013 license version than I need to install workflow manager 1.0?
enterprise or standard? can I install it on datacenter?
please provide me with the reference.
thanks

Workflow Manager will work with either SharePoint Enterprise or Standard. It doesn't work well with Foundations since it depends on User Profiles to pass user identity to the workflow. And yes you can install it on Windows Server datacenter edition.
Here are the supported platforms for installation
http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/jj193487(v=azure.10).aspx
This article talks about integration with SharePoint and states that Foundation is not supported, but it doesn't differentiate between the Server editions, so any edition will do.

What are the versions in workflow?

Hi,
What are the versiond in workflow and what is the difference between the versions?
Regards,
Chow

My understanding of the versions is as follows -
In older releases ( I do not have the release numbers here ) whenever you transport a workflow to production then you need to create a new version in development . This was because the next time you transport it , if u use the same version then the workflows running in production could have inconsistent behaviour .
In newer releases , this problem does not occur as if you retransport using the same version , the running workflows in the traget system still work on the older version( version which was active when they were started ) and the workflow system automatically creates a new version number so that the new workflows uses the latest transported information . If there are no workflows active at the time of the transport then the version number in the target is overwritten and no new version is created .

Hi Leela,
Your question is very straight question.

And i'll give some theory answer for ur questions
i.e.,SAP Business Workflow can be used to define business processes that are not yet mapped in the R/3 System. These may be simple release or approval procedures, or more complex business processes such as creating a material master and the associated coordination of the departments involved. SAP Business Workflow is particularly suitable for situations in which work processes have to be run through repeatedly, or situations in which the business process requires the involvement of a large number of agents in a specific sequence.
You can also use SAP Business Workflow to respond to errors and exceptions in other, existing business processes. You can start a workflow when predefined events occur, for example an event can be triggered if particular errors are found during an automatic check.
SAP provides several workflows that map predefined business processes. These workflows do not require much implementation. For an overview of these SAP workflows, refer to Workflow Scenarios in Applications.
Integration
SAP Business Workflow uses the existing transactions and functions of the R/3 System and does not change the functions. You can combine the existing functions of the R/3 System to form new business processes with SAP Business Workflow. The workflow system takes over control of the business processes. If you are already using SAP Organizational Management, you can use the organizational structure created there to have the relevant agents carry out the individual activities. It is possible to have an activity carried out by a position. This ensures that the respective occupiers of the position can carry out the individual activities during execution of the workflow. This means that personnel changes in your organization are taken into account immediately in the execution of a workflow.
Features
SAP Business Workflow provides a number of tools for defining and analyzing workflows as well as for monitoring operation.
The Workflow Builder is for displaying and making changes to workflows. You can make small extensions directly to the original workflows supplied by SAP, such as carrying out your own agent assignments or changing deadline monitoring.
There are several Workflow Wizards to support you in the definition of workflows, with which you can create specific parts of a workflow. The Workflow Wizard Explorer gives you an overview of the existing Workflow Wizards.
In order to make the functions of the R/3 Systems available to a workflow, you use business objects, which you can define and analyze in the Business Object Builder. These business objects are made available to the workflow in reusable tasks. The Business Wizard Explorer gives you an overview of all existing tasks.
The end user receives information about the activities they are to carry out in their Business Workplace. This provides them with a central overview of all the activities that they are authorized to carry out. They can commence the activities from here.
Several tools are available to the workflow system administrator, with which they can control and analyze the current workflows. The workflow system administrator is notified of problems automatically by the system.
Workflow tutorials with step-by-step and with screenshots are available at http://www.****************/Tutorials/Workflow/Workflow.htm
This has a step by step procedure :
