Happy New Year, everyone !

You have all been so helpful to me in this Forum. You have taught me things when you probably didn't know you were doing it and at opportune moments you have made me laugh. And that's something to be treasured.
This year I began collecting comments and witticisms that you have posted that I found particularly apropos, witty, ironic, humorous, etc. etc. - and here are a few of my favorites. They made me pause and laugh at the very moments I needed a good laugh. To the authors - I'm sure you will recognize your own , and thank you very much !
"Render files are sneaky little, fast moving, ferret like creatures of sharp intelligence and low morals. I chase them but never seem to catch them ... "
"Wow, and I thought my Fisher Price movie cam, you know, the one that records video on audio cassettes, was awesome ... maybe I should upgrade my gear, eh? ..."
"He once accused me of saving for a rainy day and then being too tight to open my umbrella, which I thought a bit rich coming from him."
And one of my very favorites of all, a response to someone who wanted to know what button to toggle in Final Cut Express to make his videos 'more cinematic' -
"You should "toggle" the "Film school" plugin. You know, the one that takes four years to render, and adds a veneer of style and substance to your timeline. You can find this plug in at many universities around the country. Some are more expensive than others, but they basically all have the same impact on your movie. Good luck."
Happy New Year, everyone !

I'm glad to see that some of the less technologically helpful comments are also noticed!
Of course you do realise that this thread is probably breaking the strict "Terms of Use" of this forum as it does not relate to a current FCE problem!
Happy New Year - at least to those who use the Gregorian Calendar.

  • Happy New Year everyone, and thanks for all your help & insight this year

    Just wanted to thank everyone for all the help & consideration you have given to people who have come to the Forum this year for help & assistance.

    Tom, Ian, Piero, Alchroma, Michel, Victor, Mitchell, David and others too numerous for me to recall at the moment - thanks so much for your contributions. You make this Forum rock !

  • Happy New Year! Don't forget to update your copyright

    Happy New Year, everyone! Hope you & your loved ones are happy & healthy.
    Just a reminder to update any IPTC metadata templates you might be using. I'm using PSE 3 on a Mac, and I use the File Browser to apply an IPTC copyright notice to every image I take. (Hey, I might be famous some day. ;-) )
    If you do something like that, don't forget to change your copyright notice to 2006 as of any photos taken today.

    Tom:
    Or just "dhá mhíle a sé" ("two thousand six" in Irish). Let's hope the coming year is dog-gone funny, rather than dog-eat-dog.
    Barbara:
    Well, Santa sent a raincheck. :-) That's the bad news. The good news is that the lens is back-ordered because it's Sigma's latest and greatest DG model that's "optimized" for digital SLRs. It's supposed to have a coating on the rear of the lens to reduce reflections from the sensor. So I'd rather wait and get the newest lens.
    I did get some interesting photos of water skiers and war protesters with another lens, though.

    Happy New Year Sandra !!
    Hope that drive does not give you trouble.
    (note to self Buy a new External drive)
    LOL! I've already made a note to myself to buy a second external drive, just to avoid the apparent inevitability of both a main drive and a backup drive dying/being murdered at the same time. Luckily, I did manage to save my email files and my Quicken files before the problems occurred. In addition, I can get my Address Book entries and iCal data from my Palm, and I can also transfer my iTunes stuff from my iPod to the new MacBook. But all of my 20+ years of quilting designs, many of our photos and all of my husband's work files are still in question.
    Once again, Happy New Year!

    Hi Guys,
    Happy New Year from down under. We are besiged by bushfires and 44˚C days at the moment. So I might just keep lurking. Keep up the great efforts and hope there is a little more understanding in the New Year.
    Have fun.

    Merry is the glad word, marry is when you match and wed people (or ideas).
    Craig has suggested on his "off line" station gathering pictures of winter and celebrations.
    In fact he's running a [video contest |http://www.kyte.tv/ch/72385-friday-morning-report/292138-florida-winter]so folks can share their winters.
    One of our community members shared a knowledge nugget with me in Twitter: "that my own holiday, Channukah, has some traditions like Diwali (burning an oil lamp)" for example.
    This year was the first time in my life that we did that (rather than just light candles which we did as well).
    I like this [picture|http://www.flickr.com/photos/marilynpratt/3131272327/] that has our neighbors Christmas lights blended with our own Channukah oil lamp.
    It reminds me of the best things community can be: sharing, lightness, illumination.
    Marrying (blending) to make merry (happy) is what our diverse community is all about.
    Happy Holidays and a good season.
    Thanks to everyone who generously wish these things regardless of where in the world they are and what they celebrate.
    We salute you.

  • Real-time HDV importing ..& Happy New Year!

    Hi! Happy 2006!
    Some time in December (?) I said I'd been to the London Apple Store to try importing HDV - with a Sony FX-1 camcorder - into iMovie HD on a PowerMac, to see if it'd import in "real time" ..instead of importing at half or quarter speed, on my PowerBook and Mac mini, while it converts hi-definition footage into Apple's 'Intermediate Codec' (to make HDV MPEG footage editable).
    It couldn't be done in the hour and a half I was there, so an Apple Genius was going to get back to me.
    After a bit of complaining and cajoling, a Genius at 'The Studio' in the Store finally got back to me on Jan 3rd. [I'm now back home, so this is my first visit to Discussions for a while!]
    As I promised that I'd report back, here's what he said:
    "Today I imported HDV 1080i footage into iMovie using the Sony HDR-FX1 Camcorder using a Dual 2.7 G5 Power Mac with 4.5 Gb of Ram and there didn't appear to be any lag, it was realtime. I would recommend having as much memory as possible and having less than 4.5 might mean there is a transcoding lag as iMovie converts the HDC encoded footage using the Apple Intermediate Codec. I do not have any details what the minimum speed processor and memory requirements are to achieve realtime import, however it is hardware dependent.
    As another alternative you may consider using Final Cut Pro 5 software. This software uses the HDV Codec Natively and there is therefore no transcoding required. Capture is in realtime, whatever machine you use, so long as it is within the minimum requirements for Final Cut Pro 5. (Please check http://www.apple.com/finalcutstudio/finalcutpro/specs.html for further detail) For details of using HDV with Final Cut Pro 5 please go to http://www.apple.com/finalcutstudio/finalcutpro/editanything.html
    I hope this goes someway to answering your queries."
    (..So maybe I'll get a post-Christmas present of a quad ..Daniel's should have arrived by now ..wonder if his feet have touched the ground since..)
    So we who patiently wait while iMovie HD imports hi-def HDV at half-speed or slower could achieve 'real-time' importing with a PowerMac and lots of RAM, it seems.
    I also tried an HC-1 (..the compact 1-chip HDV camcorder..) and have to report that the auto-focus isn't anywhere near so fast as the pretty-near-instant focusing of the FX-1, and - predictably - its low-light performance isn't anywhere near the bright, un-grainy, colourful images of the FX-1. But the HC-1 does have NightShot and Super NightShot for shooting (monochrome) in absolute darkness, helped by infra-red LEDS on the camera, which the big, bulky FX-1 doesn't do. The HC-1 has just about all of the other gizmos of the FX-1 (..user-definable preset transitions - to zoom, change focus, adjust white balance, etc, automatically during shots..) but they're accessible mainly through touch-screen menus, instead of via quick push dedicated switches.
    So Happy New Year; hope it's a good one - and a faster Mac DOES mean real-time importing of HDV footage!
    [..I notice that Focus FireStore on-camera hard drives - which mean "say goodbye to importing, because your footage is saved to disc while you shoot" - have an HDV-compatible model ..but I think it still takes time to convert the captured HDV MPEG footage on the drive into Apple's Intermediate Codec for editing within iMovie HD. I'll investigate further..]
    Hope you had a good Christmas/Hanukah/whatever!

    HAPPY NEW YEAR!
