Esata vs fw800 user preferences set up for scratch drive

I would like to switch scratch disc capture from a current fw800 setup (and setting) to esata. I purchased a express card34 esata. scratch disc is an external 3.5in 750gb 7200rpm hdd esata
My question is this: should I make an adjustment in user preferences in regards to "limit real-time" Currently i have it set for fw800 at 42mb.
Also my deck is connected via fw800 to scratch drive. Will this present a complication when capturing via capture devise fw800> scatch drive esata> fcp?
I have search the manual and here without any references to this.

Found it. Page 1820 of the FCP 7 user manual (.pdf)
+Limit real-time video to N MB/s: Final Cut Pro uses this number to limit how many video streams can play back from your scratch disk in real time. This is useful when multiple editing systems are sharing the same media (such as a storage area network, or SAN), or when you have a scratch disk with a limited data rate, such as a portable computer hard disk.+
+For example, suppose you try to play a sequence with six simultaneous video tracks containing DV media, and Final Cut Pro warns you that frames were dropped during playback. If you then try to play a sequence with five simultaneous video tracks and no frames are dropped, you know that your scratch disk can handle no more than five simultaneous DV video streams. Since DV has a data rate of 3.6 MB/sec., you can select the “Limit real-time video to” option and enter 18 MB/sec. (5 x 3.6 MB/sec.) in the number field. Now, if a sequence requires a sustained data rate of more than 18 MB/sec. for+
+playback, Final Cut Pro shows a red render bar over this portion of the sequence.+
+Note: Final Cut Pro always allows a single video stream to play, even if the data rate limit you set is below the data rate of a single video stream. For example, if you set the data rate limit to 1 MB/sec., Final Cut Pro would still play back a single DV video stream, even though its data rate is 3.6 MB/sec.+

How to set default User preferences in Analyzer for all users

How to set default User preferences in Analyzer for all users Hi, I would like to set some settings in Analyzer as default for all users. For example: 1. Display | Char 2. right mouse click on char | Chart Properties 3. Axes tab 4. "Format: Currency" i would like to change to "Format: Number". How to set default values to all users? Is this possible? Thanks, Grofaty

I'm pretty sure higher access superceedes, so you could set up a group with no actual access, just to get the preferences working, then their individual security will dictate what they can do. I haven't tested this fully, but I beleive this is how it will work. As far as setting the preferences, go into the admin console and right click on the group, then select Preferences. To apply the group preferences to a user, add the user to the group, then right click on the user, select preferences and from the upper left corner, use the drop down to select the active preference, in this case, it will be the group you created and added them to.

User Preferences setting in R12

Hi All,
We have upgraded from 11.5.10 to 12.1.3.
I have a doubt in user preferences setup in R12. For Ex.,In 11i, we have the Incentive Compensation Super User responsibility, where we used to set the preferences to restrict the number of records, set the language, etc (Navigation: Incentive Compensation Super User --> Profiles), so that the user can set their preferences. But in R12, this responsibility is obsolete and is has been replaced with the Compensation Manager responsibility. When I was looking for the preferences settings (to view certain number of rows in a page, to set the language) in Compensation Manager responsibility, I was not able to find it.
Any pointers on setting the user preferences in R12. Is there any profile option which controls this in R12?.
Please give some inputs if you have come across any

Mohan

Global user preference setting?

Hi there,
Is there any global user preference settings that apply to all users? Say, I wanted all users use interactive webi viewer by default.
Thanks,

Backup for Scratch Drive?

I'm setting up backups for my hard drives. My Photoshop CS 5 scratch drive is on a separate drive. Should I back it up?

There is no useful data there, so no. Kind of like a scratch pad when it is working.

Multi-user, networked set-up for Macs - ideas wanted!

Let me say at the outset that my preference would be to wait for the new Mac Pro Towers to come out. Having said that, however, I'm looking for some ideas on setting up some sort of network environment for editing with either iMacs or Mac Minis.
I run a University Lab with 4 student work stations and 3 office editing suites. All are connected to the network via gigabit. In the past, we successfully used the FCP Server as an edit-in-place device. Well... it was successful at *that* anyway We shoot long-format, multicam, HD AVCHD (and we want to edit it natively). Typically 4 or 5 two-camera, hour long shoots a week. We also do occassional P2 work (2 or 3 camera shoots), DSLR (short pieces) and several three-camera (or more) multicam theater productions (2-4 hours each - AVCHD).
Does anyone have recommendations for a fast and reliable network solution (ideally over ethernet unless Thunderbolt would be a better solution) that would support, say, 4 simultaneous editors? For the moment, let's say price is not as much of an issue as speed and reliablility. I already have a 16TB network for medium-term storage of finished archived pieces and raw footage. I'm looking for something smaller (4 TB), for working projects over the course of a semester. TPTB would like to have it stored in the Server Room (which is why I said Ethernet over Thunderbolt).
As to computers... I'm no fan of iMacs (I prefer Minis) but the highest end one seems to have an Adobe supported graphics card. As far as I can tell the minis don't. Both iMacs and Minis have Thunderbolt but I really **really** don't want the nightmare of multiple external harddrives (been there, done that, hated it!). Does anyone have experience using Premiere on either a mini or iMac?
Any other thoughts would be greatly appreciated. This isn't the route I want to go, but the money is available now and the new Mac Towers are not.
Thanks
Allynn

I have NO idea if these "exact problems" pertain to Macs, since I think most of these discussions are about Windows... but, some reading (not all PPro, but I put all the links I have saved, just for general information)

Allow User to set dpi for "Edit in Photoshop"

It is very frustrating to continually have to change image dpi to 300 in Photoshop from the 240 default in Lightroom. Please let user set a preference to their desired dpi workspace.

OK, that's the info I was looking for. For work in PS the dpi doesn't
make any difference [and 300 is - I have a few years of advertising
and production behind me, too - overkill in most cases].

Allowing user to set password for form?

I have a performance evaluation form that has been rights-extended so users can save data typed into the form, but the users would like to be able to set their own passwords for security purposes. Is there any way to do this? My last resort I guess will be to just tell them to zip the pdf file into a password protected zip file, but I feel like there must be a way to script something in the doc:ready event??
Thanks,
Jo

Hi,
I designed a sample to protect a form with a password.
Therefore I use 2 hidden fields somewhere in the form that store either the password and the state of the form (protected or unprotected).
The I added two script, one in the preSave:event one in the docReady:event.
The preSave script check if the form state is set to unprotected (0), if so it opens a response box to enter a password, that is stored in the hidden password field.
After that the form fields are set to invisible and the form is saved.
When the form is reopend the docReady script check if the form state is set to protected (1).
If so, it asks for the password.
If the password is wrong or empty the form fields stay invisible.
The preSave:event script:
if (xfa.resolveNode("#pageSet.Master.Protected").rawValue == "0")
     var pw = xfa.host.response("Enter Password", "Enter Password", "", true);
     if (pw != null)
          xfa.resolveNode("#pageSet.Master.PW").rawValue = pw;
          xfa.resolveNode("#pageSet.Master.Protected").rawValue = "1";
          Form1.Page.presence = "invisible";
The docReady:event script
if (xfa.resolveNode("Form1.#pageSet.Master.Protected").rawValue != "0")
     var chk = xfa.host.response("Password required", "Password required", "", true);
     var pw = xfa.resolveNode("Form1.#pageSet.Master.PW").rawValue;
     this.presence = chk === pw? "visible":"invisible";

Are my After Effects preferences set up for best performance?

I'm just wondering if my current settings are going to give me the best performance with what I have. Would you please look over these and see if I should change anything? Thank you.
I have a Windows 7 laptop. It has an Intel Core 2 Duo T6500 Mobile Processor @ 2.1 GHz and 3GB of RAM.
Here are my important preferences:
Previews
Display
Media & Disk Cache
Memory & Multiprocessing
I have a couple of specific questions pertaining to that last link. I'm confused what Minimum allocation per CPU does. And for my setup, would it be better to have longer RAM previews or Faster Rendering? Also, should Prevent DLL Address Space Fragmentation?
Thank you so much for your help! I greatly appreciate it!!

Why is it when I set my preferences to Install for instance, Drive D: vs Drive C, it does not?

Greetings Everyone,
I am not sure if anyone else has this problem but I noticed that The Adobe Creative Cloud Manager App, allows you to go to Preference and choose a preferred Install Location. I chose a folder on Drive D vs, my OS drive, C... I noticed a few were in the Drive D but the rest just went to drive C... Thinking it was an error on my behalf, I uninstalled everything then reinstalled it for some unknown reason, and tried it again, but the same thing occurred.. and what's weird is, it installs in my preferred location periodically, or in the C: Programs files, or in C: Programsx86 files.... I was hoping just to have everything in one folder like my previous editions.... Can anyone help?
Thanks for your time!
Kim

It works as it should and always has: Shared components and auxiliary programs such as Bridge always are installed on the system root. There is no way to change that.

7200 or 5400 portable hard drive for scratch drive?

I am trying to decide whether to buy a f7200rpm or 5400rpm portable hard drive to store some of my video footage on but seem to have conflicting answers on the topic. Basically, I need to offload some of my unedited footage from my MBP as it is taking up lots of room but I need also to have this with me when travelling so that I can continue working on it, therefore the need for a small portable hard drive. I have pretty much decided to get one of the G-tech mini drives, but should I get a faster 7200rpm for video, or will this make no difference, in which case a 5400rpm will have more capacity for the same price. I emailed G-Tech and their reply was a bit vague, basically saying that with firewire 800 there "might be a slight increase in performance", but I am still not sure what this means in real terms when working with video.
I thought the best place to ask was here, so if anyone can advise I would be grateful, thanks.

I have a single G-Tech mini fw400 case with a 5400 rpm drive that is perfectly useful for capturing and editing simple DV. But, I purchased it for simply capturing video while I was out of the studio. I would not use it for serious multi layer editing. If pressed, I would guess the limits have more to do with it being fw400 than the rotational speed.
What a faster rotational speed often does is give you faster seek times.
Still, if I were in the market today, I'd go with something like a two drive miniRAID system (eg Caldigit VRmini) that can connect via FW400, 800 or eSATA.

Advice please: which is best? Internal or external for scratch drive?

My new iMac has so much hard drive space, I could use its internal drive for my scratch disk, as I don't do that much FCE. Is that a mistake? Is it better to have the media on an external drive?

There's a lot of debate about this.
Will it work? Yes.
Will it work fine? Yes, until your disk gets about 50-60% full. After that point as you use up more & more space you may notice an increasing incidence of dropped frames, stutters, etc. This is due to the physical characteristics of the hard drive. I limit my system HD to about 20-30% full (not including video files) and I don't have problems editing with FCE.
Is it preferable to use an external drive? Some people are convinced so in all cases. Certainly if you're doing a lot of video editing an external drive is a good idea. And it's always a good idea for backup !

Solid State or Thunderbolt for scratch drive?

My new MacPro is a speed demon - but the internal drive is TINY. I work on huge PShop files, and even with a secondary external drive designated as Scratch Disk, I get frequent promps that boot disk is almost full (its not -just virtual memory overload). So I think the thing to do is have a dedicated (external) scratch disk, that is keep mostly free. I would think that a Solid State drive would be best for speed. But they are $$$. Wondering if I would notice the difference if a Thunderbolt drive was used instead. They are comparatively more affordable, but abut 130mbps as opposed to around 400mbps.
Anyone using a similar setup?
Suggestions?
Thanks

You can still go with a Thunderbolt2 interface with a Thunderbolt case that supports PCIe and add SSDs, I would try to get the new devices, you need less, they are 3x faster than "traditional" SSDs.
Mac Pro => Thunderbolt2 => TB2 expansion case with PCIe slots, using
http://eshop.macsales.com/shop/Thunderbolt/External-Drive/OWC/ThunderBay-4 $449 (no drives) but dual TB2 interface
and then using the same blade technology as your internal unit you now have, meaning you should be able to use 2+ and get 2.4GB/sec. for your scratch. Basically extending your boot drive with scratch that is at least as fast or a multiple of that.

Omg what a dumb storage mode. I don't think this will even work when i'll reinstall my OS and place back this file. Anyway, i found it by monitoring my entire system.
C:\Documents and Settings\All Users\Application Data\Creative\CADI\Preset
There will be only one file named:
PCI_BUSXXXX-X-XXXXXXXX-XXXX.dat
Replace all "X" with probably random numbers and letters.
Though i can confirm it worked for existing session (removing and adding this file back indeed affcted EQ presets).
Hope this helps to anyone else too. This is for X-Fi series.
