Cool idea. I played around with the Crop and 4 point Garbage Matte effects and was able to achieve something similar.
Thanks,

Effects questions for hiphop

i was wondering if anyone had any suggestions for some vst pluggins for reverb and delay to use in hiphop.i wanna ad some space to the vocal so itll sound more professional. and if you have any suggested type of settings. i kno i could jus play around with it, but im looking for a good starting point. im not looking to add tons of reverb or delay but i need an idea to get a nice sound with them without overdoing it. also if anyone has any suggestions for cleaning vocals to get them to sound crystal clear. i get good quality, i jus want to bring the vocal out to get the most of it. i already kno people will say eq n blah blah...but im looking for a more in depth solution. as far as the vsts are concerned, ive been using the stock effects in audition since ive had them, and im actually pretty bored and know theres gotta more professional ones that sound better. if needed i could post a sample of an audio vocal to get an idea of what it sounds like. thanks in advance!

Well, in my opinion, if you can't do it with the effects in Audition then you are going to struggle to find anything that will do it. Expensive VST plugins such as those from Izotope or Waves may give slightly better results but I don't think they will help you much unless you can get the basics right first using what you have in Audition. There is no magic wand that you can wave over your audio, you have to work at it and understand what is going on with it and find out what you really need to make it sound better. Often it is all down to the original recording of the vocals in the first place, the mic used, the audio interface and acoustics of the recording space.

OWB general questions for effective use.

Hi all,
I have been using OWB for a while now, and am getting to the point where I want to make sure I am using it effectively.
For example, how does one decide what to include in one project, or to split it up into multiple projects? I am loading a warehouse, and so far I am only loading raw data into tables.
My next step will be to perform ETL on the raw data and start forming more structured warehouse data. Would that step be better contained in a separate project? Would I need to repeat the definitions of the tables in the loading project? Should I just keep the whole thing in one project? The loading project is quite large, as we have raw data from many sources, and it seems to get one file in takes about 5 - 7 OWB objects (flat file, ext table, 2 - 3 mappings, process flow, 1 - 2 tables.)
So I have dozens of mappings, tables, etc.
Even though much of the data comes from different places, it is generally used together by the end users, and the ETL will likely also need to use most of it together.
Is there any "Best Practices" posted anywhere?
Another question that has come up is this: It seems the idea is to create the warehouse structures completely in OWB and deploy to the DB. However OWB doesn't allow for a full table definition, for things like Triggers, or for advanced features due to a later DB version.
So does one just create a "phantom" entry in OWB that is never deployed, and then create the actual table manually, or deploy and then modify manually to add the trigger?
Or are we not supposed to be using DB triggers, and instead control everything through OWB?
Any insight would be appreciated.
Thanks

Hi
I think the kind of questions you are asking are more aimed at methodology's not so much OWB. There are plenty of sites you can get this kind of info from one but not necessarily the best being <http://www.ittoolbox.com/>
In any case we use three projects and multiple schemas
project & schema 1 is used to collect data quickly from multiple sources
project & schema 2 normalizes the data (acts as the storage repository)
project & schema 3 is where the datamarts exist (de-normalized data)
this approach allows you to isolate your integration layer from your reporting layer. most changes only affect one of the layers, not all.
as far as creating your structures in owb is concerned I seen no problem, provided you are using a good ER tool and have ironed out any potential problems.
I have certainly created triggers manually and added them after deployment, but in most cases you can use Transformations, post-mapping, and pre-mapping processes to do the same thing, after all the data should only get into the target through a mapping. If it gets in any other way, you have a hole in you bucket.

A very important question for every After Effects user

a very important question for every After Effects user, from product manager Steve Forde:
http://adobe.ly/1exI6tI

Tom Daigon Great idea everybody! Encourage Adobe to do ONLY ONE THING with AE for 2014. Since theres not a heck of a lot of development that can be done on the present foundation, they can really stretch the rental scheme out for many years.And once you get used to the concept, every year they will do ONE THING to placate you. So now they have you swallowing no "ownership" of software and limited development.

Please answer a programming question for an admin

I'm not a programmer (although my interest is growing), so I can't answer this question in a discussion regarding how Win32API w/OLE and COM is SO much better than programming for Unix/OS X applications.
The original discussion was in regards to OS X's superior Unix based security, he devolved to this. Having only begun my venture into programming, his questions are a little above my head at this point. I'm also interested (as an amature programmer), how this would be accomplished in OS X/Unix.
Thanks in advance.
Here's his position:
*(1st entry)*
I have unsed Windows and many flavors of Unix and I have written programs in Assembler, Fortran, Pascal, Cobol, RPG, Smalltak, Basic, PowerBuilder, Delphi, C, C++, C#, Java, and Perl, and I have been programming for over 20 years, so I do have extensive knowledge about programming.
So I have one question for you:
If you had to build a business application that has to allow users to, spell and grammer check, and perform financial calculations, and render the HTML, how would you compare the effort to do this in Windows versus that in Linux, AIX, Solaris or any other Unix operating system?
I can make this business application have these features in ONE DAY on Windows, because COM and OLE lets me, use Word to spell and grammer check, Excel to do the financial calculations, and IE to render the HTML!
I make my living building complex customized business software, and Windows allow me to build these applications by myself in weeks, when it would take me and a team of programmers months to do these same things in Unix because of the lack of an the Win32 API, COM, and OLE, or I would have to BUY third party libraries that did these things, and deal with the licensing, versioning, and vendor problems that go with them, and none of those third party librabries would be close to Word, Excel, and IE in CAPABILITY!
HONESTLY tell me and others reading this thread how you would go about create the customized business application I described above by yourself in a Unix instead of Windows, and tell us how many MONTHS or YEARS it would take you, or how you would have to BUY some other third party libraries to do what Word, Excel, and IE!
Anyone who thinks a Unix has more CAPABILITIES than Windows, has never used Win32API/COM/OLE/.Net, and does not build customized complex business software for a living, because we people that do are the reason that you find some much customized business desktop software for Windows, and so little for any Unix.
I have nothing against Unix, and it is great for simple business tasked server software, but for complex business tasked desktop software Windows with Win32API/COM/OLE/.Net wins hands down!
*(2nd Entry)*
A System administrators view of an operating system and an application developers view are entirely different, and the Win32API/COM/OLE/.NET simply make my job so much easier, and you simply don't understand because you do not have to deal with the "dirty' details of making what a user wants, which is why your definition of "integration" and mines are totally different!
With the spell check you talked about, how will you keep in in synch with the dictionary in Word where the user is constantly adding and removing words?
No, you would have the user to have to maintain two different spell check dictionaries, and you would totally ignore the grammer check requirement!
Cutting and pasting data between applications is simple integration, and not the complex type that I am talking about.
Can you make your application display and use the MacGourmet menus appear in its own window, and to access and use the MacGourmet functionality (ie. search for a recipe) in its own window?
Give me one example of a Unix application that can display the menus of another application, yet alone control its features!
Of course you can't, because you need COM and OLE!
I am quite familiar with different flavors of Unix, but those operating systems do not have the rich API and program integration features namely COM and OLE that Windows has, because it violates the Unix idea of security by process isolation!
Yes that idea of process isolation keeps the operating system safe from malicious code in applications and from one application taking the others down, but you lose the power of programs working together, and you simply cannot build the type of customized business applications that I build by myself, without reinventing the wheel over and over and without having a large team with lots of programmers.
For example, my customers and millions of others spend all day working in Word and Excel, and the Windows idea that I can transparently integrate my complex business applications right in Word and Excel menu, and into their templates and macros, is why third party developers like me prefer Windows over Unix, regardless of how much better security in Unix is.
Do not get me wrong, Java improves business application development on Unix, but unfortuantely it is not feasable to rewrite ever legacy application in Java, and Java does not integrate well with other programming languages.
I used to code business application for both IBM MVS and Sun Solaris, and I never want to go back to those "bad" old days again, once I took the time to learn how to PROPERLY code using Win32API/COM/OLE/.NET!

At risk of feeding the troll I'll wander in here:
NOTE: Since this is an Apple programming boards and I have limited experience programming on traditional Unix systems (and most of that in college) I will confine my answers to the area I know.
If you had to build a business application that has to allow users to, spell and grammer check, and perform financial calculations, and render the HTML, how would you compare the effort to do this in Windows versus that in Linux, AIX, Solaris or any other Unix operating system?
I can make this business application have these features in ONE DAY on Windows, because COM and OLE lets me, use Word to spell and grammer check, Excel to do the financial calculations, and IE to render the HTML!
Note that this scenario assumes the user has Microsoft office installed. The person argues that they don't have to purchase libraries to program but what they are effectively doing is simply transferring that cost to user. I don't have to purchase libraries but everyone of my users needs to. Good for you, very good for Microsoft but bad for your customer - IMHO. OK, I know "But all Windows business users have Office installed already." When it comes free with the system then I'll retract my objection.
Under OS X and Cocoa many of these functions are intrinsic to the system layer and do not require any applications to be installed. Using Cocoa you can write a simple Word processor that has rulers, full font manipulation (including kerning, spacing and leading), Document Save and Load, Printing, Export to PDF as well as spell-checking in under 10 lines of actual code. Adding a custom file type and icon for full system integration will add another 5 minutes to your programing.
In case you think I'm blowing smoke here is a tutorial from 2002 (yes, this has been possible for over 5 years) outlining the 8 line Word Processor build in Cocoa. http://www.stone.com/TheCocoa_Files/What_s_sofunny.html
And yes, Cocoa also includes Webkit so I can add full HTML rendering by dragging in a WebKit window to my user interface. For an experienced Cocoa programmer this certainly sounds like less than a day of programming - in fact it sounds like a good tutorial for a middle-experienced training day or 2 day class in Cocoa.
I won't include the link to the 1 line web browser you can build in Cocoa using Webkit because it's shorter than the description. Feel free to search for it if you want to.
HONESTLY tell me and others reading this thread how you would go about create the customized business application I described above by yourself in a Unix instead of Windows, and tell us how many MONTHS or YEARS it would take you, or how you would have to BUY some other third party libraries to do what Word, Excel, and IE!
BUT this is all done from the stock system that is on every OS X computer not simply those with Office installed. Obviously you'd need to add some features that were more complicated than this - because any halfway decent programmer could turn this stuff out - and polish takes a while but to meet the requirements of the challenge it would take 2 days tops.
Is every *nix programming environment like this? I don't know I can only answer for the system that I have experience with and is the concern of this board. If you really have questions regarding *nix programming then I suggest you find an appropriate board and troll^H^H^H^H^H ask there.
If you're ever serious about programming on the Mac feel free to stop by and actually take a look at it. I think you'll be surprised.

Error Message FMBAS202 Year of cash effectivity mandatory for budget cat 9G

Hi all,
I activated BCS and use update profile 000350 (Separate PB/CB budget lines; standard), we tried to post simple FI posting and the error come up
==============================================================
Year of cash effectivity mandatory for budget category 9G
Message no. FMBAS202
Diagnosis
The FM update profile does not support the year of cash effectivity for commitment/actual values (posting ledger 9B). However, the year of cash effectivity is mandatory in BCS budgeting for budget category 9G and FM area 0100: the minimum value in this case is 2009.
System Response
Processing of the commitment/actual data record stops.
Procedure
Deactivate the year of cash effectivity for the corresponding budget category 9G and FM area 0100 in the IMG activity Choose Budget Category.
===============================================================
So I click the link and it goes to Define Budget Category screen where we assign budget category (9G) and time horizon (1) to a FM area, but not mention of deactivating year of cash activity.
My question is:
1. Where is the button to deactivate the year of cash effectivity?
2. What's the difference between budget category 9B and 9G? Both are Commitment Budget.
3. I dont remember assigning budget category 9B to an FM area. Where is the setting?
Thanks

Hi,
When you go to IMG - Public Sector Management - Funds Management Government - Budget Control System (BCS) - BCS Budgeting - Basic Settings - Definition of Budget Data - Choose Budget Category, what's the settings for 'Time horizon' field? It should be blank for 9G(commitment), if you don't work with cash effectivity.
9B is posting ledger, while 9G is budget ledger. You don't have to assign 9A/9B to FM area.
Regards,
Eli

Effective date for a Formulation row

Hi,
our customer manage in JDE the effective date for each formulation row.
I.e.: In a particular formulation a particular salt is valid from 1-gen-2013 to 1-feb-2013.
In the same formulation another salt is valid from 2-feb-2013 to 1-mar-2013.
Is there a way to handle this also in PLM4P? Are there other customer that have the same formula management?
I hope my question is clear.
Thanks and regards.
Stefano.

Hi Stefano,
have you thought about using the Alternate Input Items to achieve this scenario? you can put description to clarify that the particular salt only available in certain amount of time. Hope this will be helpful.
Thanks,
Jessie

Year of cash effectivity mandatory for budget category 9F

Hi,
While creating a PO/Goods Issue I am getting the below error.
Year of cash effectivity mandatory for budget category 9F
I have activated the payment budget and commitment budget. Time horizon for payment budget is 5yrs and commitment budget is nil.
i have not checked the "Start next year" checkbox.
Please advice.
Regards
Shekhar

Hi,
You have two similar questions, so i try to help on this one.
You can only use the Year of Cash Effectivity in BCS budgeting, if you use an appropriate FM update profile for updating posting data to FM.
If you use an FM update profile, which does not support the year of cash effectivity (=>field RGNJHR is always SPACE or 0000 in table FMIT) then you MUST set the time horizon to Space or 0 for all budget categories you want to use (ledgers 9F and 9G), in BCS customizing "Define Budget Categories".
The posting data for ledgers 9A and 9B which you have created with Former Budgeting remain valid, even with BCS active (the activation of BCS does not change the way how postings are updated to FM!.
However, if you have used an FM update profile without Year of Cash Effectivity before, together with Former Budgeting, and if you have now changed to another FM update profile WITH Year of Cash Effectivity, then you must migrate all existing posting (or FM update) data in your system, for all fiscal years since the activation of BCS, by filling the field RGNJHR or GNJHR in the corresponding FM tables (FMIT, FMIFIIT and FMIOI) with some valid value (i.e. greater or equal to the fiscal ).
I hope this help you.
Regards, JLB

Question for Mike - LaCie FireWire & iDVD5

Mike - Can you help please ? John Beatty suggested I post this to you :
I have just bought a LaCie Double Layer bus-powered Firewire DVD. It is an NEC DVD+-RW ND-6550A device. The drive came with Toast 6 Titanium, which is now installed.
I also have an internal Matshita DVD reader/ CD writer as part of the original G4 setup.
When I attempt to burn a project in iDVD5.0.1, the internal drive opens up and I get a message telling me to insert a DVD, even though this is not a DVD writer. I've tried Control-clicking the Burn icon, but nothing different happens. There is no option for drive selection in the iDVD menu structure either.
I don't really want to spend ages writing Disk Images, then writing to the LaCie, and I've searched this forum for a similar issue - but 'fraid I can't find anything similar. Does anyone have any suggestions that will enable iDVD to recognise the external LaCie ?
Appreciate any advice
Paul
G4 AGP 500Mhz; Mac OS X (10.4); 768MB RAM
RE: How do I get iDVD5 to recognise my external DVD Drive ?
Don't skip this route - the amount of "extra" time is almost zero - in effect iDVD is doing this anyway behind the scenes to some degree. And separating encoding from burning makes a lot of sense. I always "Save as Disk Image" and burn separately.
And there is a guy that works for LaCie that frequent this forum:
http://discussions.info.apple.com/webx?224@@[email protected]/7
I think you just need the proper disk burning profile from LaCie. You could probably e-mail Mike at the address on his profile. Or post a new thread titled "Question for Mike - LaCie Firewire and iDVD5"
John B.

Mike
Thanks. I tried burning a disk image for a 48min video in iDVD. That worked fine when previewed. I then burnt it to DVD in Toast 6.1 using the Copy (Image File option) Tab.
The resultant DVD will not play in either my internal Drive, nor my normal DVD player - which is a multi region player. The DVD is only recognised in the external LaCie. BUT, playing the movie only shows chapter 1 of 12, and there is no sound at all. (despite the preview showing it to be ok).
As a test, I burnt the movie in iDVD5 using the Pfurz & Hurz plugins. It burnt ok, but I got the same result - chapter 1 only and no sound.
My supplier for the LaCie rive suggested I also try and export the movie from iMovie to a Quick Time compression at full DV quality to make sure that worked. It doesn't - despite a 35Gb spare capacity on the Hard Drive, I either get a complete system hang with hard restarts required, Error 36 or the occasional short clip compressing OK. I'm at a loss - the fact that I get a decent image file from iDVD indicated there's nothing wrong with the video files...
Any suggestions ??!

Question for CL Forum Ad

I have been reading through this forum and there seems to be no shortage of upset customers. They all seems to be asking the same questions over and over again, and the only answer given is, "I'll post more information when I get it".
Now, I'm not a real tech savvy guy, but why is it not possible, to walk over to the desk of the head developer, and say, "Hey Steve, can you tell me why the new drivers are the same as the beta ones?"
And then walk back to your PC and type the answer here. I mean lets be honest, unless you are sending messages via snail mail, I don't understand why this is so hard to do. I suspect you HAVE the answers, but the big cheese at CL has told you to simply deflect the questions for now.
What I am trying to say is that by you saying you'll post information when you get it, does nothing but make your company look completely rag tag. It gives the impression that everyone just works part time from home, and they only meet every other Saturday for a softball game. There is no official statements from CL, you guys don't have any answers, no one knows when anything is being released or what it'll have in it...it just seems like the company is in shambles.
And this brings me to my second question. While you're slow to respond to questions about why things aren't working and such, but you are quicker than a fat man chasing a rolling donut down the street when someone advertises another brand, so my question is what do YOU recommend we do?
Can you suggest some solutions for all of the people who bought CL cards and have no working drivers? I would really appreciate if you didn't simply ignore, or skirt around this question.
I think it's time you threw us a bone here, if you're not going to give us any information, then at least give us some other alternati'ves.

Dude, honestly, I could care less what happened 0 years ago. I have said it before and I'll say it again for you, just because this type of thing keeps happening doesn't mean it's right.
When I buy a product from a company I don't do it thinking, "Hey, maybe if I buy this product then the $200 will help them become the best company in the world, and I don't care if it works or not, I just like the feeling of supporting companies in the hopes they'll do well!"
I buy products, and I expect them to work.
Regardless, if you had actually read my post, you would see that I'm not asking when the drivers will be out, or why they aren't... I am asking why this "world leader" in sound cards can't communicate effecti'vely with it's customers? I am asking why the Admins keep saying the same old mumbo jumbo, and expect us to buy that they can't actually just go talk to the people in charge.
I am also asking if they can't tell me that information, then help me find some alternati'ves.
So, why don't you paypal me a few hundred dollars for a new sound card. You seem to have no problem sitting there giving your sound card "high fi'ves" and talking to it in a sweet voice, "Don't worry little sound card, I know you have amazing potential, I won't give up on you!"
"Do you remember the old days of Windows 2000?" We then cut to a montage of you running through fields of flowers hugging your sound card and a copy of Windows 2000. You shake your fingers at them and say, "Not yet little guys, soon we'll all be together in harmony, we just have to wait!!"

Premiere Pro CS3 then After Effects CS3 for Color Correction?

Hello All,
I'm at a bit of a loss here, it seems like it's a no brainer to be able to do this. I'm trying to edit my film in Premiere and then use After Effects to do color correction using Color Finesse 2. But there doesn't seem to be ANY way to keep a project so you can continue to edit in premiere while you also keep all your color correction??
You can do color correction in AE and export a premiere project but premiere won't recognize the Color Finesse Filter so you lose all you color correction!
Or I can edit the whole project in premiere and open it in after effects to do color correction, but then if there is a single edit change that needs to be done in premiere again i've once again lost my Color Correction to bring it back.
Is this really the case that I can't use these expensive packages together this way? It seems like there has to be a solution! If Adobe just made it so Premiere kept the "links" to your filters in the project, instead of killing an unrecognizable one. Then when you opened it back in after effects after your edit your Color Correction would still be there.
Any one have any advice?
Thanks,
-Ethan

Thanks for all the suggestions guys, all good ideas.
Aanarav, Your idea to just get Color Finesse for premiere I suppose I could do. It's $545 which isn't exactly pocket change, but it would probably be worth it, if there is another way other than breaking the bank book for software I already own i'd like to try to get away with it.
Steven Gotz
Dynamic link is unfortunately a feature only of the production studio package which is like $1100 upgrade from what I have...so that's kinda out of the question for me.
Jon Sands
Great idea here. I really thought it might work since premiere seems to use what are called after effects plugin files too. But after copying and pasting for a while it doesn't look like it actually sees it as a plugin anywhere I paste it. :( If anyone knows of a way to get that to work I would be seriously grateful!
I guess it sounds like the only way out is to spend cash, sigh such is so often the case is seems.

Questions for BAS

Questions for BAS
New to this forum, but I am running three Athlon 64 Boards here. The Abit MAX3 the MSI NEO on the KT800 chipsets. Also running a Gigabyte Nforce 3 K8NPro.
You have stated in many posts that the CPU decides what memory it uses, well I have to raise a few points. I have two sticks of Kingston Hyper X with Winbond BH5 work in both the MSI and the Abit, Two sticks of Kingston Hyper X Winbond CH5 will only work in the Abit, not in the MSI, all sticks also work on the Gigabyte. That disproves your theory somewhat. Also Abits bios update has listed as improved memory compatibility, if that is the case, then it is obvious that they cannot change your processor so they must be changing board paameters, relating to timing or voltages. This is a confusing issue.
Regarding the PCI Lock, and that the FSB does not control the hypertransport or PCI clock, why would VIA be busy implementing this in the K8T880 if it had no effect, and why does the hard drive get corruption above 230 fsb if the clock is not changing, it does not happen on the Nforce150 chipset. Also Cool and Quiet works by manipulating the multiplier to change the processor frequency, this is a multiplication of the FSB, and CPU Z also is able to read correctly the FSB.I am not saying that what you say is incorrect, but I am trying to evaluate the situation here.
Some explanation would be welcome as I have not read this explanation anywhere else on the web, and no major hardware review site states this either. Lost Circuits has a pretty thorough review of the chipset and states issues with the PCI clock and hypertransport clock changing. If you use the Nvidia system Utility on the NForce 3 board it also reports the Hypertransport clock, and that is a direct association with the fsb and multiplier. Comments welcome. Also any idea when the voltage issue will be fixed regarding the Vcore, I know of a Beta bios but is it likely to be released soon. Strange thing is the Gigabyte board does almost the same thing, but will og to 1.55 just like the MSI will using windows to overclock.

Hi,
As for the memory controller, see this document:
http://www.amd.com/us-en/assets/content_type/white_papers_and_tech_docs/23932.pdf
As for the via chipset:
http://www.via.com.tw/en/k8-series/k8t800.jsp
Anyway, it's actually funny, as everyone has a different story....
And nobody tells exactly how it's done, not even AMD....
I just gave my best idea of how it works, as nobody seems to know exactly (or doesn't want to say) it's all guessing....
As Anantech has another idea as well:
http://www.anandtech.com/cpu/showdoc.html?i=1856&p=3
He say it's taking it from the HT bus.....and the FSB doesn't exists....
But my MSI manual states that it has an LDT transmitter clock, that controls HT and can only be set Auto, 200, 400, 600 or 800MHz...
So if anyone has a better idea of how it exactly works, please enlighten us all.....
One thing i'm 100% sure of, the memory is controlled by the CPU, not the board

Channel Changing effect question.

Question for the professionals: How can I create a “channel change” with distortion, etc. effect on Final Cut Pro? I need it for a sketch so with each segue, or scene, it looks like the “viewer” changed the channel. Any help would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks,
Matt

Why not just follow Christina's original response - you should be able to make what you need...

TOP questions for Eseries devices - not so new!

Just noticed that the thread titled:
TOP questions for Eseries devices - start here [new]
Really isn't so new dated 30-Cot-2007 11:48 AM - last edited on 30-Oct-2007 11:48 AM
The post suggests that the first thing to do is update to the latest version of software.
Alas the last update for E72 was 27 October 2010 which is flawed! I know as my phone has misbehaved since installing it and I see other users reporting similar if not the same issues here.
*#0000# reports version 052.005.217.11
Question - How does one down grade to previous version?
The post then suggests "If you still experience problems, you can try if formatting your Eseries device helps. Format the device by dialling *#7370#. The device will request a security code, the default code is 12345 unless you have changed it."
Well actually on the E72 this does nothing! I Type in *#7370# and its displayed to me and nothing else happens. If I enter *#0000# I get the version number so it seems the software/firmware does not understand the code above!
I did try 'factory settings' option from one of the control panel menu's instead at some point of my misery but was surprised by just how little effect that had - many things were not reset.
If your still reading, I thought I would share some steps I have found to sometimes help on E72 when it appears to hang / stall:
1. Try holding down the home button and if the running applications bar is shown try closing the applications by pressing the delete (backspace) key.
2.- If that fails try pressing the off button and selecting 'offline' mode - This sometimes works - if it does then try previous point before going back to an online mode such as 'general'.
3. If that fails - try holding down the power button to turn device off - that sometimes works! But sometimes the keyboard lights simply stay on until the battery goes dead...
4. Remove the battery wait a moment and then re-insert battery. You may then have to enter the time and date. Do check your alarms - during GMT I noticed all my alarms would have incremented by an hour! Not seen this since BST started.

Very strange - or perhaps not that strange but just another issue.... I tried the Hard Reset code again at this time it worked!!! I'm now re-entering my details and remembering what I didn't back up But if it fixes my issues it will be worth it.
FYI from another fine post I found:
FOR SOFT-RESET:
- at Standby Screen type-in => *#7780#
It will ask for “Restore all phone settings-phone’ll restart….”
Then it asks for security code enter factory default => 12345
FOR HARD-RESET:
- at Standby Screen type-in => *#7370#
It will ask for “Restore all phone settings-phone’ll restart….”
Then it asks for security code enter factory default => 12345
FOR FLASHING- TOTAL RESTORE: (Do this if your phone does not boot up)
1) Remove the battery, and then wait for about 20 min or so before putting it back
2) Press and hold these three keys together -Green dial key, Star key[*], Three key [3]
3) switch ON the phone.
4) Do not let go the three keys until you see the WELCOME screen displayed and just let it complete the boot process

Questions for the october release

Hey there,
two questions for the october release update:
1. We often use filmconvert in our workflow. Is it possible to send a sequence via Direct Link to SpeedGrade and keep and see the effect?
2. Can I send a sequence with some AfterEffects Dynamic Link pieces in it to SpeedGrade to grade the project or will the connection get lost?
Thanks for your help
Jesko

All effects should come over. No mention about Linked comps, though.
