DVCProHD Tape-Based Capture / Transfer to Avid - Best Practices?

I may seem to be going a little "old-school" with this question, so please bear with me.
I am fairly adept in tape-less acquisition and on-set media management, however this next project has me working with several Panasonic HDX900's (tape-based).
The production has decided to use Premiere for the initial Transfer and Avid for the editing (facilities decision).
We will be shooting in the DVCProHD codec.
My question is:
When capturing in Premiere 5.5, what is the best quality codec to use which is cross-platform compatible with Avid Media composer.
I was thinking of having the initial tape capture and audio sync in Premiere and exporting an AAF.
Any comments/suggestions would be much appreciated.
Thank you,

The production has decided to use Premiere for the initial Transfer and Avid for the editing (facilities decision).
This seems a needlessly poor decision.
I can't imagine why the facility would make this choice, aside from
possibly avoiding a scheduling conflict by not using the AVID suite for capturing.
When capturing in Premiere 5.5, what is the best quality codec to use which is cross-platform compatible with Avid Media composer.
You have no selectable control over the capture codec in Premiere.
I have not tested it, but AVID will likely have no problem editing media captured in Premiere.
I Would suggest running a test before you commit to that workflow.

Select One Choice attribute' LoV based on two bind variables, best practice

Hello there,
I am in the process of learning the ADF 11g, I have following requirement,
A page must contain a list of school names which is needed to be fetched based on two parameters, the parameters are student information been inserted in the previous page.
I have defined a read only view "SchoolNamesViewRO", it's query depends on two bind variables :stdDegree and stdCateg.
added that RO View as a view accessor to the entity to which the name attribute belongs, and then add LoV for the name attribute using the ReadOnly view,
added the name attribute as Select One Choice to page2,
and now I need to pass the values of the bind variables of the ReadOnly view,
the information needed to be passed as the bind variables is inserted in the previous page, I could have the data as bindings attribute values in the page2 definition
I have implemented the next two appraoches but both resulted in an empty list :
* added ExecuteWithParams Action to the bindings of the page and then defined an Invoke Action (set refresh condition) in the executable s, set the default values of the parameters to be the attributes values' input value,
in the trace I code see that the binding fetches correct values as supposed , but the select list appears empty, does the this execution for the query considered to be connected to the list ?
* added a method to the ReadOnly view Imp java class to set the bind variables, then I define it as a MethodAction in the bindings , and then create an Invoke action for it , also the select is empty,
if the query been executed with the passed variables, then why the list is empty? is it reading data from another place than the page!
and what is the best practice to implement that requirement?
would the solution be : by setting the default value of the bind variables to be some kind of Expression!
please notice that query execution had the bound variables ( I see in the trace) are set to the correct values.
would you give some hints or redirect me to a useful link,
Thanks in advance

HR data transfer toolkit_ SAP Best practice

Hi All,
I got to know the New toolkit for HR Data Transfer in which SAP has provided the Built in Excel sheets for the certain Infotypes..I got the document through online. But am not able to use the transactions ..can any one help me out ..from where do i download the HR Data transfer toolkit and if any patches which i have install in the system.
Can you please help me out in giving me the Links.or steps from where do i donwload the toolkit.
Advance thanks for the help.
Regards
Rajeshwar

Rajesh,
You have to request basis to apply the sar file that is specified in best business practise documentation.
Also note that data transfer tool for ECC 6.0 is different from ECC 5.0 or R/3.
The data transfer tool is now (in ECC 6) shifted to LSMW.

Separate App Module, View Object based on Select not EO: Best practice?

Hi,
I have a list of base tables(parameters) that are used everywhere in my application for selection components (List, Combo, Radio).
I'm considering creating a separate app module with a view object based on query for each table.
I have created a BaseTableAM application module for managing those tables, Entity objects and View Objects in update mode.
Those tables are rarely changed.
Example of table:
ItemType
item_type_id = primary key
name = description
In the BasetableAM:
ItemTypeEO entity object
ItemTypeVO updateable view object based on related entity object.
Now in my project I will create combo boxes for selection of the item_type_id.
Separate application module:
SelectionViewAM composed of View Objects based on Select statements and not on Entity Objects.
Example of view object ItemTypeViewVO:
SELECT ItemType.ITEM_TYPE_ID,
ItemType.NAME
FROM ITEM_TYPE ItemType
All view objects in this application module will be read-only and for selection only.
By basing all those View Objects on select statements not based on Entity Objects I suppose there will be no locking and "value changed" management => less overhead.
Is this a good practice?
Being read-only I could have based those View Object on Entity Object with flag updateable set to no, what would you recommend?
By creating a separate Application Module for those selection view objects, I know that update will not be possible.
Thank you for your advice.
Frederic

See this article for View Object tuning tips:
http://www.oracle.com/technology/products/jdev/tips/muench/voperftips/index.html
Are you planning to use this AM as a nested AM inside other application modules?
If you don't the "selection AM" will have its own, separate database connection/transaction.
If you do, it will share connection, transaction with its containing "root" AM.
It may not be relevant to your application, but just realize (which is explained in the article I point to above) that view objects that are not related to entity objects do not "see" pending changes in the current transaction. That feature depends on the VO/EO cooperation. It's fine to build VO's without an EO -- in fact we've made it easier to do this in 10.1.2 in the Design Time wizards -- but you just want to make sure you realize what features it's giving up. If you don't need those EO-related features, then by all means create an Expert Mode VO that's not related to EO's.

Sales hierarchy . role based reports and Data access, Best practice and sol

Dear all,
Currently working on a solution for Sales. There a geography and sales position hierarchy.
e.g. (USA,EU,ASIA) --> EU head -->UK head -->Northern UK head -->London head -->East london--> Postal codes in east london.
so altogether 7 roles and 7 positions, all these users can see data at it's level and below.
Also the summary report/ Prompts/ subject area columns for each of these users must be at their corresponding level and just 1 level below.
e.g. EU head by default must see column EU and country UK, UK head will see report only for UK and Northern UK region and so on.
After lots of thinking i am planing to take approach of creating 6 sets of similar dashboard/ different prompts/ different global filters/ reports.
Data level access is not at all issue i am easily able to manage.
Request experts to guide is there is any other better approach to take for objects in catalog.?
many thanks in advance.
Regards,
Yogen

Dear Srini,
Data level Security is not at all issue for me. Have already implement it and so far not a single bug in testing is caught.
It's about object level security and that too for 6 different types of user demanding different reports i.e. columns and detailed drill downs are different.
Again these 6 types of users can be read only users or power users (who can do ad hoc analysis) may be BICONSUMER and BIAUTHOR.
so need help regarding that...as we have to take decision soon.
thanks,
Yogen

Cisco ISE: 802.1x Timers Best Practices / Re-authentication Timers [EAP-TLS]

Dear Folks,
Kindly, suggest the best recommended values for the timers in 802.1x (EAP-TLS)... Should i keep default all or change or some of them?
Also, what do we need reauthentication timers? Any benefit to use it? Does it prompt to users or became invisible? and What are the best values, in case if we need to use it?
Thanks,
Regards,
Mubasher
My Interface Configuration is as below;
interface GigabitEthernet1/34
switchport access vlan 131
switchport mode access
switchport voice vlan 195
ip access-group ACL-DEFAULT in
authentication event fail action authorize vlan 131
authentication event server dead action authorize vlan 131
authentication event server alive action reinitialize
authentication open
authentication order dot1x mab
authentication priority dot1x mab
authentication port-control auto
mab
snmp trap mac-notification change added
dot1x pae authenticator
dot1x timeout tx-period 5
storm-control broadcast level 30.00
spanning-tree portfast
spanning-tree bpduguard enable

Hello Mubashir,
Many timers can be modified as needed in a deployment. Unless you are experiencing a specific problem where adjusting the timer may correct unwanted behavior, it is recommended to leave all timers at their default values except for the 802.1X transmit timer (tx-period).
The tx-period timer defaults to a value of 30 seconds. Leaving this value at 30 seconds provides a default wait of 90 seconds (3 x tx-period) before a switchport will begin the next method of authentication, and begin the MAB process for non-authenticating devices.
Based on numerous deployments, the best-practice recommendation is to set the tx-period value to 10 seconds to provide the optimal time for MAB devices. Setting the value below 10 seconds may result in the port moving to MAC authentication bypass too quickly.
Configure the tx-period timer.
C3750X(config-if-range)#dot1x timeout tx-period 10

How do I capture tape-based media to my external hard drive? There is only one firewire 800 port on the back of my I mac. The manual says to import tape footage directly into fcpx, but then I lose my external hard drive. thanks for your help.

In FCP X How do I capture tape-based media (hdv clips)- which I want to import-to my external hard drive? There is only one firewire 800 port on the back of my I mac. The FCPX manual says to import tape footage directly into final cut, which works, but then I lose my external hard drive Do I have to import it into an event, then copy it over to an external hard drive? On Larry Jordan's tutorial, he has 3 external hard drives that show up on his monitor WHILE he imports his tape based media. How is that done? I can only get either the camera to appear OR my external hard drive. thanks for your help.

Thanks for your response, but that doesn't solve the problem. Yes, the LaCie hard drive has 2 firewire ports-
I have always done what you suggest (works fine in FCP7), but in FCPX when I do that the camcorder icon
does not appear. It only shows up when I DIRECTLY import the footage via firewire. ????

Making DVCPROHD tape clones

hello all,
I know this is not a specific FCP question, but I don't know who else to go to. I have some DVCPRO HD tapes that I would like to clone (backup) and am having a bit of trouble. I have two decks -
1. AJ-HD1200Ap
2. AJ-HD130dcp
The trouble I am having is after looking through the operations manual, there is no talk of a clone procedure. The best I can do is hit record and play on the machines, but that is not a true clone. How can I do this? or where can I go to find more information? I've been to Panasonic's site, but they are no help.
Thanks all

Tape based camcorder is giving me an error. Import was aborted due to dropped frames

Importing into imovie. Tape based camcorder is giving me an error. "import was aborted due to dropped frames" There are spots on the tape that have no image. the tape must have been fast forwarded so some soptes are blank. I just want to capture the video and burn to a dvd disc. Importing into iMovie.
I just wast to record into imovie and burn the home movie to dvd disc. i have done this with other tapes. What do i do? Please help.

the built-in webcam doesn't deliver standard video with a 'clocked' time-base, such as 25 or 30fps.
I assume, when the frame-rate starts to flow too much, FCPX interprets this as a drop-out.
I would suggest to use the Quicktime Player X app to record first, and use a converter tool such as Mpeg Streamclip to 'convert' it into a regular, with a fix timecode, stream.
Plan B)
from my box of silly advices:
give this a try: rise the surrounding brightness - lower frame-rates are used by webcams to compensate low-light conditions.
in general: I would never suggest to use FPCX as a 'recording' tool .......

How to import Sony Z1 and A1 tape based files to FCP X?

Apple support have today told me (eventually) that footage from the Sony HVR Z1 and A1 and the GoPro Hero 2 cameras are not suppported by FCP X, they suggest using a 3rd party convertor, this will add considerably to the time bringing data into the package.
How do others get over this issue as I am assuming that others are using Sony HVR & GoPro cameras as they are market leaders.

Who exactly at Apple support told you this? Z1 and A1 are HDV cameras and are covered by this note
Final Cut Pro X is compatible with most MiniDV tape-based camcorders using DV and HDV formats, which use a FireWire (also known as IEEE 1394 or i.LINK) cable to transfer video.
The GoPro media can be imported an optimized on import. The audio from the cameras is not suitable for FCP, but most people don't use audio from these cameras. If you need audio and video you can batch convert with Compressor or MPEG Streamclip.

Cannot get my tape based media to the timeline in Premiere Pro CC

Cannot get my tape based media to the timeline in Premiere Pro CC, I have eqrlier in my edit, but now I get the hand dragging it with the circle and slash on it . THis will not let the media download to the timeline anymore. What happened.... DId I hit a button and/or cause it to be locked out from loading media intot he timeline. My digital basde media loads fine.

Here is more information: I use Premiere PRo CC 7 and the taped based media in the bins are from a Canon HV30 taped based catured to PP directly in a MPEG format. I have already used some edits from this media as well as my captures from digital, which isnt causing any problems. When I mark the taped based media in the source window and attempt to drag it into the timeline the hand gets a circle and slash line on it and will not let me place it into the timeline. Yet I can still load my digital stuff into the timeline and edit normally. I need some footaghe from the tapes but cannot get it into the timeline from the source monitor even after updating, shutting down and reopening. No avail still when trying to drag the hand with the circle slash still exist not allowing it into the timeline. Previous footage on the timeline works no problem. This started yesterday.

FCP 10.1 Import Tape based media Issue

When I import tape based media in FCP X 10.1 the 'capture' window weirdly flickers between what appears to be the 1st frame on the tape and the one currently being injested. The media does seem to import correctly, and I'm able to skim the clip once it's finished with import, but I'm nervous to start editing with it in case there is some issue with the way it's being injested.
Thanks for any help.
Steve Pustay

Hey Steve,
I'm having the exact same problem. For those who can help but need some additional info: I'm capturing from a Sony HVR -M25U HDV deck via Firewire 800 onto a MAC Pro tower running Mavericks.
also
from a DSR-40 DVcam deck via Firewire 800 onto an IMac also running Mavericks
I've been doing this seamlessly for a few years till 10.1
Additionally, now my "j" and "l" keys are not communicating with either deck. Again this is since the upgrade.
Anyone with ideas on how to solve this one?
Sorry I couldn't help you Steve. Maybe this extra detail will get us some help.
Good Luck

Transfer iphoto library to external harddrive. Best practice?

Need to transfer iphoto library to external harddrive due to space issues. Best practice?

Moving the iPhoto library is safe and simple - quit iPhoto and drag the iPhoto library intact as a single entity to the external drive - depress the option key and launch iPhoto using the "select library" option to point to the new location on the external drive - fully test it and then trash the old library on the internal drive (test one more time prior to emptying the trash)
And be sure that the External drive is formatted Mac OS extended (journaled) (iPhoto does not work with drives with other formats) and that it is always available prior to launching iPhoto
And backup soon and often - having your iPhoto library on an external drive is not a backup and if you are using Time Machine you need to check and be sure that TM is backing up your external drive

Best practice on handling a datacontrol based on a changing webservice

Is there any best practice on how to handle changes to a datacontrol, when a webservice changes ?, it seems the information on
portnumbers, servernames etc. is placed in a number of files, an optimal solution seems to be that Jdeveloper would have functionality
to regenerate all relevant files based on changes to the WSDL, but this does not seem to be supported in Jdeveloper 11g
Regards
Ole Spielberg

Hi,
I think in this case you would better use a WS proxy, wrap this in a POJO and create a data control from this. This allows you to set the port and host programmatically. I agree that there should be a better option to do the same in the WS data control

Best practice in dreamweaver based web design

Hi DW Gurus
I have been learning dreamweaver at work and at home for a while now and I am very interested in getting some details about best practices.
I am aware that my designs are still quite simple and don't expand dreamweaver anyway near its abilities, however as a novice I am sticking with DW CS4 and trying to developing foundation skills before trying to move on to greater adventures in web design. My dream is to eventually leave my employer and start my own freelance design business that I can manage while I am travelling in SE Asia (yeah I know - dream on .....). I am saving for my CS4 master suite license - my current one belongs to my employer.
In particular I have just started to do some free design a community organisation - I am trying to develop a portfolio of sites that I can show new clients (with money) what they could expect for their investments.
I am interested in getting some ideas about work flows - design standards - whether designers use the dreamweaver layouts - whether to code or to use the WYSIWYG.
Anyone care to share how they plan and go about their design work.
In my past life I was a SQL developer and a C#.net programmer - in those feilds there are standards for code and applications . Are there industry standards that would point to good or better designing?
Thanks for your time and interest in my topic,
Respect,
Doug

The first thing you need to learn is html and css, without knowing the programming language will only make DW a hard tool to use. You need to learn coding to WC3 standards.

Yes, you can rely somewhat on DW's layout mode (or what features are left of it), but this will only lead to problems when it comes time to troubleshoot any problem pages that do not render correctly across the various browsers.
A paying client will expect a well designed, fully functional website and you need to have the programming skills to accomplish this for them.
