Getting the best from Connect: Ideas, Examples?

I'd like to enhance the production values of my Connect webinars and am looking for examples of how others have used it in creative and unique ways. Are there any tricks or interesting techniques for using any of the pods in creative ways? I want to get as much out of the Connect interface as possible. Any suggestions?

Thanks. That's useful but it's not exactly what I'm looking for. I'm trying to bring a level of production value to my webinars that goes beyond those fixed by Connect and am looking for unique and creatives uses beyond the basics. It may not exist as Connect makes creativity difficult in this environment, but I thought someone might have squeezed a bit of beauty out of it. If so, I'd like to see it.

How to get the best from Lightroom with my Nikon D700

I am having real trouble with the results from Lightroom from my Raw files.
I love Lightroom but am going to have to use another program unless I can figure out what to do.
Can anyone give me any advice?
I have never had to use presets etc. so am in need of basic help please.

Ed
I assume you tried to:
If you are on Mac OS X, drag the "Camera v2 beta" folder to:
/Library/Application Support/Adobe/CameraRaw/CameraProfiles
Do you have admin rights on your mac? Otherwise, I am not to up on macs, and hopefully someone with more expertise can help with the installation.

Getting the best from

I know this is called an MP3 forum but we should remember that Creative are producing "windows" products which support WMA as well. WMA is always improving (MP3 is stuck). Well I have been trying to make WMA files "I" find acceptable. I wasn't happy with the sounds produced by the standard CVR/VBR settings avialble with the usual software, be it Creative or Media Player on my Zen sleek. I want clear treble on cymbals, and good bass. I would prefer this without tweaking using the "custom equaliser". So I decided to download the Windows Media Encoder. After some experimention I found using the Quality75 setting fitted my bill. I can access this setting using Exact Audio Copy, something many using with Lame. To me it sounds better than other VBR compressing options available with Media Encoder even at similer bitrates, it just sounds more like what I hear on my Hi-Fi.
P.S. Quality90 is even better but exceeds the 320 limit far too often. Yes I could use the VBR Peak encoder but this dosn't sound as good as Quality75 in my opinion. It would be great if microsoft would allow more settings such as 80 or 85.

Yes, this software gives you more control over how WMA files are encoded, not to mention a command-line version that can be used with EAC to rip everything from scratched discs to XCP discs (after turning autorun off to block the rootkit, of course). Go to this site, change the dropdown from "Windows Media Player" to "Windows Media Encoder", select the 9 Series encoder, and download.

How to get the best from a PC? Some guides...

I have recently made available three different 'guides' (from my perspective of course) and I thought it might be worthwhile to have it all in one place:
1. A PC buying guide for NLE.
2. Storage rules for an editing rig. Some basics.
3. Guide for installing and tuning a Vista 64 PC.
I hope you can profit from these postings.

Harm,
Have not gone to 64-bit yet, so I only linked to that post. Have not read it, but will, prior to the next build
As for the hardware, some of the comments are on more current CPU's, etc., than I have. From my reading, I do not disagree with any of it.
For the I/O layout, the only thing that I saw (and think I commented on when that first was posted) was the FW-800/external. My comment was based on my personal experiences with my hardware and SD material only. I do not debate that eSATA is better, but I have a lot invested in FW-800 externals, so have not made that jump. Also, my workstation's slots are full, so no eSATA for that box. I do recall that Jim Simon tried FW-800 and had nothing but problems. Guess that I have been lucky. To date, they have worked well for shuffling some Projects between the laptop and the workstation. As an aside, if I can work by the pool for much of a Project vs being in a dark interior room - guess which I will choose. So long as I can struggle by with the 17" monitor, I'll go for the outside. Need the big screens, or more power, and I just cart the external upstairs. Still, I do not disagree with your comments.
Though I have a pretty good I/O system, when I do a new build I will definitely have your article in hand. Things have changed, since my last new machine and there is no reason to not incorporate the latest/best into it. I also have a printout of your "middle-of-the-road" workstation, and will likely model off of that too. Yes, things will change between now and then, but you provided a good template for me to work from.
In total, I really liked all three articles (see comment on the OS one above). You distilled many discussions into concise form. Now, you also furnish a single link to all. Beats doing a Search on the fora, trying to remember which thread Harm, Jeff, Jim, Bill, Eddie, et al replied to with hardware suggestions. You put it all together for all users.
Thanks,
Hunt

How to get the best from 8gb ram in macbook pro_bootcamp Win 7

Hi guys,
I know what you are going to say, (run 64 bit windows) but bare with me. I have brand new 2011 unibody macbook pro 13" 2.8 ghtz dual core 8gb of ram. When running bootcamp windows 7 it shows only 2.16 gb ram usable. I thought that 32 bit windows can handle 4 gb ram so how can I get at least that much grunt out of the machine.
Yes, yes thanks for telling me that I can use 64 bit windows 7, but see I have downloaded a lot of autodesk 32 bit software (at 3gb per program) so it will be a month or so before my broadband is up for that kind of downloads again. I was wondering if you have a solution to at least get closer to the 4gb that should be available.
Cheers

The only way to have Windows use 8GB ram is to, as you said you don't want to hear, use 64 bit Windows. Do the math 2^32 vs 2^64. It does not matter that you don't want to hear it, it is what it is.
BTW, 32 bit programs will run in 64 bit Windows.
And the reason you Windows can't use all your 4GB ram is because some of that 4GB is being used by your graphics etc.

A check on my settings to get the best out of them.

Just checking base with you as you always offer me the best advice.
Have just received my extra 2gb ram (yipee) which now takes me to the max 4gb allowed for my OS.
Everything is working as it should so l'm wondering whether l'm now getting the best from my system (via the settings).
I can overclock the FSB via rocker switches on the mobo by either 10%,15% or 20%. Can't notice any difference if set at 15% or 20% so have left it at 10% as that seems to show more of a difference over the default than the higher settings. Don't know why it's not faster at 15% or 20% but l can't see it.
Also, if l look at my virtual memory settings in System Properties, for the C drive it is set to custom size, initial size 2046mb, maximum size 4092mb. For the D and F drives which have plenty of space on them, the buttons are just set to no paging file.
The total paging file size for all drives says minimum allowed 2mb, recommended 4990mb, currently allocated 2046mb.
Would you recommend any changes for any of these settings?
Thank you

Surely a 32 bit system can take 4gb with most of the 4th gig being used up by the OS and video, which means the actual ram available would be a tad over the 3gb mark, ie 3.2gb ish so you need the 4gb to acheive this?
You're sort of right... of course, you can physically have 4GB of memory, but when using a 32bit OS due to addressing limitations there'll only be about 3-3.5gb available RAM. You can use a 64bit OS which is able to address all the RAM, but any 32bit software you run will face the same limitation.
You'll notice I have 4GB RAM in my machine, but I only use a 32bit OS. I'm not really bothered about having only 3.2GB RAM available, as its still more memory than I had previously, and 3.2GB is more than enough for my needs. There isn't any 64bit software available yet that I'm desperate to use, so I'm holding off on installing a 64bit OS, its certainly not worth it yet just so I can have that 'full 4GB' to use.

You cannot utilize 4096MB in 32bit enviroment, to do so you need 36bits ... just simple math
I doubt if anyone is going to create a 36bit CPU architecture and operating system, just so someone can utilise 4GB of RAM.

I am trying to connect my Sony DCR-TRV350 to iMovie so that I can make DVD's from family videos. I am having problems getting the video camera connected. Any advice on how to do this?

What happens when, after you connect your cam, you go to File > Import Media?
But before that, does your cam require you to export your video files upon USB connection? I have a JVC Everio HD and I have to "Export to Library" from the cam's menu first-thing. This was true even in prior iMovie versions.

My iphone syncs with everything but iphoto. It used to but has now stopped. I cannot get the photos from my phone to my computer. any ideas?

My iphone syncs with everything except iphoto.
It used to be able to do it, but has now stopped.
I'm trying to sync photos so I can upgrade my phone, and keep all my photos taken with my old phone.
But I cannot get the photos from my phone to my computer because when I link my phone to my mac iphoto doesn't recognise it at all.
Any ideas?
Thanks

Lots of folks fix these kinds of issues with a simple restart of the phone. Others require a Reset of the phone.

Hi, my iPad and the camera connection kit is completely useless to me, ever since the update where Apple restricted the device from connecting to certain external devices. I've tried everything, but is there eny way I can get rid of this?

Hi,
My iPad and the camera connection kit is completely useless to me, ever since the update where Apple restricted the device from connecting to certain external devices. I've tried everything, but is there any way I can get rid of this annoying problem? The bottom line is that I'll stay away from apple, because they basically make it so the devices control you, and you don't control the devices. I've even jail broken to try and fix this. I need my USB drives to work as they have many folders. Formatting doesn't work, so it is definetly down to the software and it's restrictions.
Please help.

The camera connection kit is to be used to connect a camera or an SD card and transfer photos/video. You can't fault them for something that happened to work and doesn't any longer. There are drives like the seagate available if you need access to extra storage
