FCP 7 Optimized Codec Performance

Cramming for that FCP 7 recert and going through a list of new features. One I am trying to chase down is "Optimized Codec Performance", that is briefly described as rendering XDCAM HD, EX, HDV and XDCAM HD422 faster. The description further goes on to say that you have greater freedom creating complex multilayers. The question is, is that native or that all of them are now supported as Pro Res render options in sequence settings?

I think all it means is that rendering is now faster, so having a lot of video tracks is less of a hassle in terms of waiting for re-renders.
Doubt if it's anything to do with ProRes.

  • Optimizing tempdb performance in SQL Server 2012

    SQL Server 2008 R2 BOL contains a topic on optimizing tempdb: SQL Server 2008 R2 Books Online > Database Engine > Development > Designing and Implementing Structured Storage > Databases > Optimizing Databases > Optimizing tempdb Performance.
    I have been unable to locate a comparable topic in BOL for SQL Server 2012.  Is this type of performance tuning for tempdb no longer necessary in SQL Server 2012?

    Is this type of performance tuning for tempdb no longer necessary in SQL Server 2012?
    That's incorrect. Looks like topic is missing in SQL 2012 BOL. I will alert the author and report back if needed. Meantime, you can follow the same for 2012 as well.

  • The website recommending that I download Codec Performer opens in a new window about every 10 seconds. How can I stop this?

    A website recommending that I install Codec Performer opens a new window about every 10 seconds. How can I stop this?

    One potential cause of this is an unwanted extension. Try disabling ALL nonessential or unrecognized extensions on the Add-ons page. Either:
    * Ctrl+Shift+a
    * orange Firefox button (or Tools menu) > Add-ons
    In the left column, click Extensions. Then, if in doubt, disable.
    Usually a link will appear above at least one disabled extension to restart Firefox. You can complete your work on the tab and click one of the links as the last step.
    If you are adventurous about installing software from various websites, you may have loaded a bundle that contains some, well, crap. To review recent additions, go to your Windows Control Panel, Uninstall a Program, and click the "Installed on" column heading to bring the most recent items to the top. Remove anything unexpected or unwanted.

  • Stuck at Optimizing System Performance after installing Security Patch

    24" iMac seems to be stuck at "Optimizing System Performance" after installing the latest Security Update. Software Update won't quit. Nervous to force the computer to shutdown during that process. It's working fine at the moment other than that the Software Update box won't go away.
    What do you think?

    Well kind of answered my own question. Tried to run Activity Monitor which only started halfway and then crashed. I remembered the whole computer is backed up to an external drive everyday so I figured if it won't start at least I can start up from the external drive.
    Forced the shutdown by holding the power button. Started up w/o a hiccup; ran Repair Permissions which checked out and the Verify the Disk with First Aid which also checked out fine.
    So I guess it's ok though I may unplug that external for a day or two.

  • Optimizing system performance hangs during Tiger install

    When I try to install Tiger on my Powermac G3 B&W it gets to optimizing system performance and hangs there for hours and when I reboot it starts to install off disk 2 and it hangs again at optimizing system performance part of the install. What do I need to do to fix this because I need to get the computer going

    *Hi Colton, Welcome back* to Apple's Users Help Users Forums.
    Were you using the puter during Install—that's a no-no.
    Follow standard precautions as listed all over the forums:
    Quit all apps
    Unplug all except KB and Mouse.
    Repair Disc via Install Disc. Repair Permissions via HD. (That one receives some debate but it's quick.)
    etc.

  • OS X 10.4.4 DOWNLOAD HANGING AT "Optimizing System Performance" STAGE

    I began downloading 10.4.4 update about 1.5 hours ago; most of the download executed fairly quickly--within 10 minutes. But then the download got to the "Optimizing System Performance" stage, and has been hanging in it ever since. It's accompanied by the spinning beach ball.
    Is this common, or at least normal?
    If not, what should I do? How long should I wait? I don't know if I can even get my iBook to force quit at this stage.
    thanks in advance for your help.
    T.W.

    Timothy,
    What you are experiencing is not common or normal, but can hopefully be rectified.
    According to iBook: If the Computer Won't Respond you can Force Quit by holding the power button for several seconds.
    Restart from the Tiger Installation CD and run the Disk Utility as directed in the Try Disk Utility paragraph of Using Disk Utility and fsck to resolve startup issues or perform disk maintenance.
    Next, attempt a normal startup of your computer.
    Mac OS X: Troubleshooting installation and software updates says this about optimization failures:
    Installation fails during "optimization"
    If the installation fails during "optimization," all of the software was installed. There is no risk of an "incomplete installation." The optimization phase of an installation only affects performance and not stability or features. You may force optimization to be repeated by reinstalling the software. If you were using the Software Update pane of System Preferences on the first attempt, you will need to download the standalone installer of the same software from Apple Downloads in order to reinstall the software.;~)

  • Optimizing for performance

    A few days ago, we did a live web presentation and Q&A session about optimizing for performance for Adobe Premiere Pro and After Effects. Here is a blog post that gives a link to the recording and links to supporting materials:
    "optimizing for performance: Adobe Premiere Pro and After Effects"
    Thanks to Harm (and others) for some great forum threads that I could refer people to for good advice.

    hi ,
    1.) try to avoid ' into correspondig field of ' option in select query
    use ' into table tanle_name'.
    2.) fro all the select queries containing addition
    ' FOR ALL ENTRIES IN TABLE_NAME'  check the condition
    IF TABLE_NAME[] IS NOT INITIAL.
    ENDIF
    before the select query.
    3.)  before the read statement sort the table by any key field and
    use the addition BINARY SEARCH with READ statement.
    4.) For modifying the internal table always use index.
    5.) <b>never use select statement inside loop.</b>
    for ur case u can use internal table for selecting 'NAME1' from 'KNA1'.
    Inside the loop perform the read operation for this internal table.
    in the same way avoid the other select statement which u have used in the loop.

  • Expoting H.264 from FCP 5.1 "Codec error"

    The Problem:
    I am trying to export a QT movie from FCP 5.1 with the H.264 codec
    using "export/quicktime movie" and I get a "Codec error" message.
    The Situation:
    I am using FCP 5.1 to sequence imported QT movies I have made in Foto Magico (640x480-30 fps-H.264 Codec). I have no problem getting these to run in the timeline as long as I match these sequence settings (they run fine/no rendering needed). When I try to export using "export/quicktime movie" I get a "Codec error" message. My understanding of this export path is that it doesn't recompress clips like the "export/using quicktime conversion" does. It will export a H.264 movie using "export/using quicktime conversion" but it takes forever and I have a lot of media to crunch, Any suggestions?
    Thanks...

  • FCP 5.1 Poor Performance

    To make a long story short, I recently wiped out my machine and did a clean install of everything including the new Universal Verison of FC Studio. Before this I had FCPHD, including all software updates.
    The new one doesn't seem to be performing as well. Has anyone else noticed this? It seems everytime I move a clip on teh timeline I have to wait for it to "perpare video for disply," and it seems as if RT isn't as effective as it was with the old version. I seem to be doing a lot more waiting on it to process little chages before I can continue to work. The old version was a million bucks, itr worked like a dream. Infact, I noticed last night at a certain point when I just dropped a clip with no effects or anything on it into the timeline, the red "needs renedering" bar was at the top right away and was there for a few second before turning to green, and meanwhile it can't process things as quickly.
    The only differences in my new setup that I can thnk of are:
    FCP 5.1 from FCPHD
    Updates to OS
    Working off of Startup Volume (which is empty except for OS and apps - plenty of room), VS used to work off of seperate volume.
    Latest version of CHUD now which doesn't support NAP
    Thanks for any and all suggestions!

    Well, the size of the App alone has more than doubled since FCP 4.5 (and that's 5.0.4 - non-universal binary)...
    There's a lot of new stuff to support HDV and other good things, and the OS takes up more space these days as well. If you wanna, keep 4.5 around - I have it and use it on occasion - mostly when I need to edit a client project that must stay in 4.5...

  • FCP using Matrox Codec?

    Hello all. New FCP user here.
    We just upgraded our two old Matrox Digisuite MAX NLE's and are now working with two FCP Quad G5 systems.
    Anyone else out there make the switch from Matrox to FCP? If so, did you have any luck transferring your old Matrox clips to the FCP system? I can't seem to find any render codec that looks right. Either too "jiggly" or too "jaggy". Obviously some sort of field-related problem, but I am stumped so far (did I mention I was a new user to FCP...)
    I have TONS of footage to transfer over, so the "quickest/easiest" method is preferred.
    Any help here would be great. Thanks.

    Yes and yes.
    Interestingly enough, Mac AE wont even recognize the Matrox clips to import! I was totally surprised by that. FCP would import them, but not AE.
    I have spent several hours working with FCP and Compressor to find some settings that would work, but with no luck. Hence my post here finally.
    I am hoping to find another former Matrox user who might have solved this already...

  • FCP P2 import codecs

    My FCP is in French so please excuse.....my French.
    I'm importing my images filmed with the panasonic HVX200 using setting 1080i/25P. I use the setting on FCP, DVCPRO HD – 1080i50. I understand that progressive on the HVX is a sort of double interlacing.
    When I import into FCP using « list and transfer » the compressor in the clip listing is DVCPRO HD 1080p25 – when I analyse the shot in tools I get Codec : DVCPRO HD 1080p25 medium quality.
    However, if I import into FCP using P2LOG PRO the compressor of the same shot is DVCPRO HD 1080i50 ( analysis of shot in tools - Codec 1080i50 maximum quality).
    When I do « command i » on the QT images imported using both methods the codec of the shot is DVCPRO HD 1080i50.
    In the timeline I have the possibility of putting the settings of the sequence as DVCPRO HD 1080i50 ou DVCPRO HD 1080p25.
    All this suggests that sometimes 1080p25 is treated as if it was the same as 1080i50 and sometimes not.
    Is the difference in codecs just a different codec for reading the images and the same codec is used for importing?
    I'm quite confused, and don't want to introduce an unwanted compression to my images.
    Thankyou in advance.

    If I remember correctly, 25p is simply 50i with the same image recorded twice.
    Put the material in the sequence setting that matches those on the camera when you recorded the material and edit away.

  • Pointers for optimizing system performance (run time) while running DP process chain with parallel processing

    Hi Experts,
    We are running APO DP process chain with parallel processing in our company, we are experiencing some issues regarding run time of process chain, need your help on below points;
    - What are the ways we can optimize process chain run time.
    - Special points we need to take care of in case of parallel processing profiles used in process chain.
    - Any specific sequence to be followed for different processes in process chain - if there is some best practice followed.
    - Any notes suggesting ways to improve system performance for APO version 7 with different enhancement packs 1 and 2.
    Any help will be really appreciated.
    Regards

    HI Neelesh,
    There are many ways to optimize performance of the process chains (background jobs) in APO system.
    Firstly I would recommend you to identify the pain areas (steps) which are completing with more runtimes. Then each one of the step has got different approaches to decrease the runtime.
    Like you may end up with steps like infopackage executions, DTPs, DP mass processing jobs etc which might be running with more runtimes. So now target each one of them differently and find out the ways to optimize. At the same time the approach you follow should be technically possible with basis perspective (system load and utilization) as well.
    And coming to parallel processing, you can use parallel processing for different for different jobs. You can further r explore on the same using parallel processing. Like loading an infocube, mass processing, infopackage execution, DTP, TSCOPY etc.
    Check the below link for more info

    Let me know if you require further info.

  • FCP keeps freezing, when performing color correction on new macbook pro

    I'm trying to do some color correction on a couple of videos. No problems doing this, until I try to render them: sometimes it'll do the job just fine, but more than often it just gets stuck about halfway through rendering, and everything freezes up. I tried using a seperate hard drive instead of the standard hard drive in my macbook pro, but this did not seem to help things.. Any other advice?

    Motion JPEG?
    Not really a good editing codec.
    Convert your MPEG 2 to Quicktime using at least the DV codec or one of the others as found in the Easy Setups menu.
