FNC photog Working between 4x3 and 16x9, almost daily needs help!

Will be working with 16x9 and 4x3 for some time. What is the best and safest way to change 4x3 to 16x9 for broadcast standard quality. Working mainly between footage shot shot on beta sp 400A's in 4x3 and have now switched to Panasonic AJ-HPX 2000 SD/HD camera and Panasonic HVX 200 P2 camera. Both of which shoot on 16 or 32 gb p2 cards. I shoot for the Fox News Channnel and all of our photogs are experiencing difficulties between these formats, so we would just like a formula we can use every time we have go between the two. Right now we broadcast in sd, but shoot 16X9 or squeeze as they call it with the 200 camera. That will change in Feb. 09, I believe. Any info would be greatly appreciated as this will be used by about 60 different photogs.
thanks
Brian

Yeah, I really question the wisdom of trying to make network policy on an Internet forum. That seems kinda nuts to me.
But we can still treat this question as a sort of academic exercise.
An alternative to shooting 4x3 safe inside 16x9 is to settle on 14x9 as your single aspect ratio during the transitionary period. I used to work pretty closely with WFAA-TV in Dallas during their SD-to-HD transition about ten years ago, and they used 14x9 in those days. Slightly letterboxed on 4x3, slightly pillarboxed on 16x9, but the same picture on all formats. Whether being consistent in terms of framing between widescreen and old-school presentations is worth the hassle of shooting 14x9 safe and converting everything is left as an exercise for the reader.

How is the XMP workflow supposed to work between CS6 and LR4.1

Can somebody please enlighten me ?
I have a raw file in Lightroom, xmp files turned on.
I open the file as a smart object in Photoshop.
Back in Lightroom I do some edits, and to be sure, I save the edits back to the XMP.
Back in Photoshop, no matter what I try, my edits are not picked up. I tried opening the smart object etc...but ACR does not pick up the edits I just made in Lightroom (even when the XMP file is up to date).
If I resubmit the edited image from Lightroom, my edits are picked up, but this can't be the way it's supposed to work, can it ? What good is a smart object if you need to resubmit it each time...
Isn't the XMP workflow supposed to be seamless between adobe applications, picking up any edit, no matter where the edit is made (from acr to lightroom and vice versa) ?
I'm probably missing something, but would appreciate some help.

Taking a little distance and looking at it from that angle, I can understand why it works the way it does now.
Still, I feel there are some missed opportunities here.
Compared to working between indesign and photoshop, when I have an indesign layout and I later edit the placed photoshop document, Indesign gives me a warning that my version is changed and I can update it to reflect the latest state.
A similar thing could be done here inside photoshop "update to latest Lightroom edits" or something similar which could be totally optional for the end user to use or not.
My confusion was mostly caused by the XMP files, it stuck in my head that these were external files holding all knowledge and no matter which Adobe program you used, it would work with those same xmp files... but I understood wrong apparently.
I still have a lot to learn, thanks for all the answers, it is very helpfull.

Hi,
usually when you upgrade, it should not delete your files, but if it happens, than you should have a backup.
Unfortunately it is very common, that people don't know, what exactly is in the backup.
The question is, what files exactly you are missing? Own pictures, or taken with the device? Purchased music form the iTunes Store, or own? ....
Documents and files are mostly up to the developer of the app, if they are part of the backup, usually not and you need to transfer them before.
In the backup you will find just pictures from the Camera Rolle folder, everything else you should have on the PC, if you had it on the device.
Same then for music, you can transfer purchased music from the device, but your own works just one direction, from PC to device, from device to PC it doesn't work.
In future I recomand you to be sure how the backup works or use a 3rd party app (iExplorer) where you have a little bit more "freedome" than with iTunes.
Or you maybe just restored from the worng backup

HT5887 Why doesn't AirDrop work between iOS and OSX?

Apple has almost always never fail to seamlessly integrate its devices, until now? I understand that there is iCloud for content sharing between devices. However, AirDrop was introduced as a simpler way for users to not only share contents between their own devices but as well as other users. I understand that the logic behind AirDrop was practiced by windows users since the creation of modem, though it requires many complex steps and compatibility checks to achieve a simple logic. (and Windows never really bothered with perfecting it over all these years, its improved, still buggy)
My question is, why can't we share contents between iOS and OSX? Everytime I need to transfer some files/content, the quickest way I could think of is to send an email to myself. Just the other day I tried to have my colleague AirDrop a file from his 5S to my MBP. I told him with great confidence that this tech existed long ago, and finally Apple decide to kick some DOS *** and launch a super simple version. And that it should by right work with any device with BT and/or WiFi, but knowing Apple, it would only be for their own products. Not in my wildest dreams it didn't work cross OS.
Forget the embarassment, I want to be pampered by this seamless technology. I want the type of exclusiveness with my fellow family and friends of which majority are Apple lovers. I want to regain the confidence that whenever I step out of my room, whichever device I carry/left out, I can do/resume/engage everything as long as I carry an Apple device.
Music, Videos, E-mails, Docs, Images, iMessages, are all checked. So why not Content Sharing?

We would like to know the answer as much as you would. All you can to direct your questions to the only people who can really answer: http://www.apple.com/feedback/

Home Sharing no longer works between iTunes and Apple TV.

I've been through all the forums, tried all the solutions provided and I have come to the conclusion that Home Sharing just no longer works between iTunes on a PC and my Apple TV. Does anyone know if this issue will be addressed or should I list my Apple TV up on eBay? (along with my iPad, iPod, and iPhone, since all system no longer sync together as before.)
My issue:
My iTunes library is no longer listed under "Computers" on the Apple TV.
The airplay icon no longer shows up in iTunes. (Version 11)
I cannot play music/content from my iPhone or iPad via remote that is stored in my iTunes library through my Apple TV.
I can however play music/content that is stored locally on my iPhone and iPad through my Apple TV.
My firewall settings are allowing access to Apple TV.
After logging into my router, I see no issues there.
I've logged in/out, turned home sharing on/off, de-authorized/authorized, and restarted my PC, Apple TV, and Router.
All devices are logged into the same iTunes account, and are on the same wireless network.
Time for a solution Apple.

If you turn off wifi on your Computer and connect it to the apple tv using an ethernet cable can you see your library under computers in Apple TV.
If yes the issue is with your wifi not the Apple TV

iTunes Home Sharing Not Working
Not working and sometimes when it is working, it cuts out in the middle, or when you click on the computer name, the focus goes away from the library. In other words, really weird.
What it is
iTunes has a feature called "Home Sharing" - it basically allows you to share your entire or part of your library with other instances of iTunes in your home network. It requires you to login to your iTunes account on both computers. A typical scenario is to enable Home Sharing on your desktop machine and then access the library from your iPad, Apple TV, iPhone, Mac, etc.
In my case, I have iTunes on my desktop machine running Windows XP in the attic with Home Sharing enabled and then I access the library from my Macbook and Apple TV, depending on what I want. How to use Home Sharing can be found here.
Symptoms
Home Sharing machine not showing up in Apple TV or the Macbook
The Macbook home sharing not showing up on my desktop
Home Sharing working intermittently
Connections getting cut of intermittently
Usually, restarting iTunes or the desktop computer will make things work.
Sometimes, restarting the Macbook or the Apple TV will make things work.
The "working" doesn't last long
The FixOn the desktop computer where the Home Sharing is enabled, I disabled the "QoS Packet Scheduler" from the network connection:
Open Control Panel
Open Network Connections
Right-Click on your connection (in my case, it was "Wireless Network Connection 4"
Select Properties
Uncheck "QoS Packet Scheduler"
Click OK
Restart iTunes if necessary
After doing the above, Home Sharing worked like a charm.

Back to my Mac - will it work between iCloud and MobileMe?

Just updated my MBookPro to Lion so it would work with iCloud and my new 4S. Everything moved over OK but there's one thing I'm concerned about: will Back to My Mac work now between machines that are not part of the iCloud account? I ask this because my Mac Pro at the office is still on Snow Leopard (and may remain that way, since I use it for editing+graphics and prefer to keep it clean and stable) and I use BtMM all the time to look at the MacPro while I'm at home. I took the precaution of logging out of MobileMe on the MacPro before I moved the account to iCloud on my laptop so there wouldn't be any weirdness. I imagine that if I went and logged in on it now I would no longer have the option of using BtMM on the same Apple ID anymore, yes? I have another Apple ID that's still under MobileMe, so I wonder if I could start using that one now on both machines under the old MobileMe system pref and link the two machines back together?

UPDATE: forget about signing in with a different MobileMe account once you've signed in to iCloud; even though both prefs exist, Lion will NOT let you sign in to both iCloud and MobileMe at the same time, even if they're different accounts.
Grrrr...guess it's back to Remote Desktop for me.

First Project - Poor resolution when working between FCE and LT

I've put together a 1 minute sequence in FCE 4 (1920X1080) and it looks great when I export to QuickTime movie.
I then use that movie as a background in LiveType, adding a bunch of titles and graphics.
If I then render the movie in LiveType the rendered movie chokes and skips. If I import it back into FCE and export it back to a QT movie, it looks poor - compression artifacts and the text doesn't look crisp.
Is there a better way to:
1) Sequence and edit my clips (1 min movie)
2) Add tiles/graphics throughout
3) Output to HD format
Thanks!

I figured it out.....
Rather than rendering the movie in LT and importing to FCE, I just imported the LT project itself. Working between the two apps simultaneously, I can position the text and graphics from LiveType, save, then instantly see the results in FCE.
Everything is looking crisper....

Working Between Illustrator and Photoshop

Hi guys,
I guess you could call me a novice when it comes to working between products, but I am using both photoshop and illustrator. Photoshop, I'm obviously using for image editing and touch ups, illustrator I am using to create graphics. I am wondering if there is an easier way to work between the two (that is having a file simultaneously updated through both programs. (when you edit the file one program, the edit appears on the other). It just a pain to work between the two, because I can't always anticipate what my work will look like on one program when I am designing on another. Plus, the quality of my images seem to decrease as I import images into illustrator.
Thanks for your help!

You get what you ask for:
I usually start in Illustrator, creat some vector artwork, add some brushes to it in photoshop....
PS, for all intents and purposes, is pixel based. The only way to retain vector editability would be to use smart objects, but then again none of this matters when you go back to AI as it has its own share of issues dealing with PS files. It's really your workflow.. You should try to only do the parts in PS that you realyl must and then export them as a separate document with transparency which then can be imported and integrated in AI...

Why doesn't air drop work between osx and iOS?

Air drop doesn't work between my MacBook and my ipad.

It is not designed to work that way. AirDrop in iOS only works with other iOS devices, not Macs.
Note: AirDrop for iOS supports only iOS 7 devices. You cannot use AirDrop on iOS to share with OS X, and OS X users can't use AirDrop to share with iOS devices.

Working between Photoshop and Illustrator

Hi,
I am trying to work between the two programs without losing quality, but I am not having any luck.
I usually start in Illustrator, creat some vector artwork, add some brushes to it in photoshop....
by the time i come back to illustrator it looks like my original design has been rasterized.
The vector artwork is pixelated.
Tried saving in a few different formats from photoshop but can't figure it out.
I'm sure it is sometihng basic.
Thanks for the help.

IMessage no longer works between me and my girlfriend?

I have an iPhone 4 and my girlfriend has an iPhone 4S both with 5.1.1. We went on an international trip and she used a local simcard for a while. When we returend iMessaging no longer works between us. It works between all other iPhone users though. How do we fix this? We have tried hard resets of both phones. Thanks.

This worked for a while but now it's back to the same old problem. Any other ideas? This is super annoying.

Hi Z,
Lets check the Port Forwarding at your end.
Does this Zyxel have UPnP at all ?
If so use that and disable the Port Forwarding.
If not then these ports need to be forwarded.
I will list with Protocols as some device need these.
TCP 5190 for AIM Login and text chats (can be substituted for 443)
TCP 5220, 5222 and 5223 for Jabber (the last is for OS X servers and GoogleTalk)
TCP 5298 this is part of the Bonjour set up for iChat if you have other Macs
UDP 5060 this is for the SIP negotiation that iChat needs
UDP 5678 this is where the visible invites come and go out on.
UDP 5190 for AIM file sending and Group chats
UDP 16384-16403 This group of 20 ports is where any Audio or Video chat takes place.
As the 443 port is below 1024 (the NAT threshold) you should not have to Forward this.
