Familiar with the term "box cut"?

Editing a project for a new client - in their written requests, they've asked for a "box cut" a couple of times. Not familiar with this term. Anyone know what they might be referring to? Could it be montage of several clips sliding on screen in boxes? Like a grid? I've seen this treatment in some of their past work.
Thanks!

One of my all time favorite stories, read many years ago in some trade magazine (if the author will come forward, I'll be happy to give them the credit):
The scene: Darkened Avid edit bay. Editor with new, inexperienced, agency client.
Client: "Can we make the type red?"
Editor: (jokingly): "Sorry, we're all out of red today"
Client: (sobbing, nearly in tears) "But - but - I need to make it red! They told me to make it red. The client specifically asked for it to be red!".
Editor: (now realizing anything he says will make him look like a jerk) "Well, we have a FedEx delivery due soon, and we ordered the red yesterday, so let's break for lunch."
After lunch . . .
Editor: "Yep, they got the red installed while we were eating - we're good to go!"

My ipad is hung with the dialogue box saying "this iPad hasn't been backed up in 4 weeks. Backup happen when this iPad is plugged in, locked and connected to WiFi". Even after doing that, I am not able to do anything with the iPad - neither able to reboot nor able to get to the homescreen. The dialogue box doesn't go at all even after pressing OK a hundred times. I treid tacking the back up through itunes and through 3G conncetion but of no avail. Please help

I too have been having this issue since about 12/14. That is around the same time I got the Ipad for my kids. I am unsure if it is related. I have tried logging out of icloud/deleting it and trying again. Removing most of the apps to sync. I reset my router. All of the attempts have produced zero results. I will be anxiously watching this thread for some help. Good luck to you also

How can I open FireFox with the 'Find' box/bar always open?

When FireFox opens, click 'Edit' and 'Find'. This opens the box/bar at the bottom of the screen. I use it so often, I would like FireFox to open with the 'Find' box/bar already open.

You are welcome. Happy New Year, Aivas.

Anyone familiar with "The Standby Wizard for Oracle "

Is anyone familiar with "The Standby Wizard for Oracle " by Relational Database Consultants, Inc?
It is a GUI app that supposedly simplifies and automates the creation, maintenance, and switchback functions necessary to implement Oracle's standby database paradigm for high-availability.
I have a very small IT shop and simplification with data protection is important to me.
I'd like to read anyones thoughts if you have such.

Hi
I never used this tool. However it is important that you have the right infrastructure, too. A standby database wrong implemented is useless. You can try to call a consult in near you to implement the dataguard.
Does Relational Database Consultants has a documentation about the product?

When I sign into iTunes for updates, a secondary username appears and I need to enter a password. I am not familiar with the second user name. Any Suggestions?

Are you using iTunes on your iPad or the actual program on a Mac/PC?
If you are using on your iPad check the ID being used by going to Settings>iTunes & App Store if the Apple ID displayed isn't yours tap it and select Sign Out then sign in with your own Apple ID.
If you are referring to iTunes on a Mac/PC select the Store Menu and check the Account Name next to the View Account text, if this isn't you select the Sign Out option directly above it then Sign In with the relevant credentials.

Try:
- iOS: Not responding or does not turn on
- Also try DFU mode after try recovery mode

- If not successful and you can't fully turn the iOS device fully off, let the battery fully drain. After charging for an least an hour try the above again.
- Try on anoterh computer to help determine if you have an iPod or computer problem.
- If still not successful that usually indicates a hardware problem and an appointment at the Genius Bar of an Apple store is in order.

Can I download and use final cut pro 7 on new mac pro tower?,or I must work with the new final cut pro x only?

can I download and use final cut pro 7 on new mac pro tower?,or I must work with the new final cut pro x only?

Disclaimer: This response assumes that a "new mac pro tower" is the new cylindrical model.
1. You cannot download Final Cut Pro 7. FCP7 is part of Final Cut Studio (2009) a.k.a "FCS3" and it was only released on a DVD set. It can still be purchased online (maybe even from Apple) for prices ranging from a few hundred to $1K and it is 5 years old and unsupported.
2. Although there are reports of systems running FCS3 on Mavericks, there are also a host of problems associated with this OS/software combination.
3. A new version of iMovie Pro Final Cut Pro X has been released which is reportedly very fast and is supported.
It's all a matter of what kind of movies you make...

What happens to Apple Color users with the new Final Cut Pro x

What happens to Apple Color users with the new Final Cut Pro x?

Some of the functions of Color have been incorporated into FCP X, meaning you will have more than the 3-Way-Color-Corrector but less than Color.
Since you cannot share projects between FCP and FCP X, you might want to stay with FCS if you rely on Color.

Anybody familiar with the details of implementing the Adobe PDF virtual printer?

Hello, all.
We need to implement a virtual printer similar to the legendary one by Adobe. The images processed by it will be detailed CAD drawing.
Can a kind soul point me in the appropriate direction? For starters: what type of data (what format) is the virtual printer expected to receive?
This will be for Windows.
TIA,
-RFH

Well... it isn't really a data format. A device driver (which includes a printer driver) provides a number of callbacks which correspond to the graphical calls made by a printing program. (At least, that's how it was when I looked into it a very long time ago). A driver might be asked to draw lines or boxes, to output text with particular fonts and attributes, or to accept a variety of raster graphics. This is something for an experienced programmer, or team, already very familiar with Windows graphic models such as GDI: device drivers are not easy to develop or debug, and because they run with special privileges; bugs in them have the potential to completely crash the system (blue screen of death) (although I read of something called "user mode drivers" which might be safer).
http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/windows/hardware/gg463348.aspx is a place where some of this seems to be discussed. I don't know whether you have to sign up with Microsoft. You might, because recent OSs will only install signed drivers.
Updated: if you still want to make a PDF, this is an enormous task, so big that Adobe dropped the two drivers they once had. Adobe don't even write the Adobe PDF driver. Rather, they use the operating system's PostScript driver, then convert PostScript to PDF using Distiller, a tool they conveniently already had. Adobe provide what I think is called a "print monitor" (?) that takes the output from the driver once it is fully formatted. If you can process PostScript you could do the same. (Note: a PostScript interpreter from scratch is a considerably larger task than a print driver, so that isn't an easy option; look at 5-10 person years if the people are sufficiently skilled).

Anybody familiar with the TUNE TRANSFER for Ipod program?

This software product was created by Valu-Soft. It was designed to recover music files from iPod to a NEW PC. However, it appears that this program does not work with a PC that has already iTunes library. Are there any shortcuts or commands to circumvent this condition?

How many registration keys come with the new Final Cut Studio

Hi I'm thinking of buying the new final cut studio and am trying to find out how many registration keys come with the box. I have 2 others in the family that would use it on their comps as well, and my friend had gotten the previous version of final cut studio 2 (final cut pro 6) and said it came with 3 keys inside, which would be great for me. So I'm just making sure that's true. Thanks.
Also you can bring final cut pro 6 files from another computer onto a computer with final cut pro 7 and still work on them right?

Hello Gibbs,
Welcome to the forum.
Re: your question.
Your friend is a pathological lier (or delusional - sometimes it's hard to tell the difference).
FCP is licensed for one laptop and one desktop as long as:
1. Both machines are owned by YOU (your inlaws don't count as you)
and
2. They are not used at the same time.
If your family wants FCS, time for them to purchase their own copies. (Apple has dropped the price so low that even Junior High School students can afford their own copies now.)
Yes, FCP6 files will open without issue on FCP7. The reverse is not true.
Have fun.

When I open a new tab, my pins do not show up, and I cannot find the square with the 9 boxes to turn it on at the top, what do I do

When I open a new tab, the page is blank, and I cannot view my pins. I tried searching for the box with the 9 squares in it at the top of the screen to turn it back on, but it does not show up. How do I get my pins back?

Hello,
First go to '''Tools''' >> '''Options''' >> '''Privacy''' >> '''Firefox will''' change to '''Remember history''', then go to '''about:config''' and search for '''browser.newtab.url''' change its value to '''about:newtab'''.
