Haswell-E build for GH4 work

I'm building a new machine on the Haswell-E platform. The majority of it is already ordered, but I thought I'd ask and see what people think of how I'm setting it up. I'm not expecting to render particularly complex timelines or effects or more than two streams at a time, but this is a long term sort of machine. Currently I've got:
Core i7-5930K
Asus X99 Deluxe
32 GB (4x8) of DDR4-2400
Samsung 850 Pro 512 GB (OS drive)
2x Geforce GTX 880, when it's released (making do with a pair of 7970s for now)
(misc uninteresting cooling and power bits)
Not too worried about that part, as nothing I'm doing suggests that I should go nuts and build a dual Xeon type of system. Quadros/FirePros are also unacceptable, for a variety of reasons. (Chief among them is I'm a game dev.)
The real question is the storage. My plan is:
Samsung 840 Evo 1 TB (general computing data, project drive, FRAPS capture drive)
3x or 4x WD Black 4TB in RAID 0 (the big files)
2 TB Thunderbolt/USB3 drive for transfer purposes
Given that the GH4 files aren't all that big (100 mbit in 4K), I feel like that should be more than adequate. Anyone foresee any spec changes I may want to make?

You are building a really strong single-CPU system and it should have no trouble at all with GH4 files if your system is set up properly. You will read a lot on the www regarding how demanding 4K is to edit, however most of those users are referring to RED 4k and other more professional media formats that are brutal on a system.
For Premiere Pro:
- CPU/motherboard/32GB RAM - just fine; get a good CPU cooler and do a minor OC and it will be even better
- 850 Pro boot drive - 256GB model would be fine for Adobe, only get the larger one if you need it for your game dev. work
- dual GTX 880 - way overkill for this system, but again you may need this for your work; NVIDIA GTX are way better for PPro than ATI cards, so if you have any performance issues using the 7970's, those issues will probably all go away when you go GTX
- drives - you only need the 3x or 4x 4TB in RAID 0 for PPro; it will be plenty fast and the 32GB of RAM will help gloss over any HD latency
- drives - uber performance option - multiple SSDs in RAID 0 perform way better than single large drives (so long as you get SSDs that do RAID 0 well); I already said you do not NEED more drive power for PPro, but if you are still wanting a high-speed data work space think 4x Crucial 256GB SSD in place of the Samsung 1TB EVO

  • Updating my .ipa in DPS App Builder for testing is not working

    Hi there,
    I've build my .ipa file in DPS App Builder for testing on my iPad before I publish it to the app store. No problem. I tested it and saw some modifications to make. I made the changes on my folio, updated it in the folio builder of indesign (on the cloud). Then I get back to DPS App Builder and rebuild an .ipa file from the "Manage" and "Modify" windows, it download and test my certifates, seems to work ok. Then I've created the new .ipa file (after erasing the old one on my desktop and iTunes) but when I synch it back on my iPad it's not updated. It's still the first version of my folio without the changes.
    I tried to create a new app from the beginning but the single edition serial number does not work anymore. So my only solution is to update my folio, right? But what is the right way to do it? Am I missing something? I didn't find any answer in the step by step guide about that.
    Or is it possible to delete completly the first version in DPS App Builder to recreate it without losing my single edition serial number as I didn't submit it to Apple yet?
    Do I have something to do in the Folio Producer?
    Thanks for your help.
    Julien.

    Single Edition Serial is one time use thus modification is not possible from your end directly in case you wish to use the same serial number. For such cases you need to contact DPS Support, who can get an approval on a serial number reset after reviewing the need.
    In this case, I'll take this offline with you in reference to forum post # http://forums.adobe.com/message/5597607.

  • Critique my W530 Build for Post-Production Work

    Hi everyone!
    Please critique the following W530 build for post-production use. Primary applications in use are After Effects, Photoshop, Maya, Boujou, PFTrack, Mocha Pro. Was highly considering the Macbook Pro 15" Retina and the HP Ultrabook. But seems the Thinkpad has the best performance/price ratio in a decently portable form factor. Switching from the Mac side so guidance would be much appreciated!  
    Purchasing from Lenovo online store: 
    CPU - Intel Core i7-3820QM Processor (8M Cache, up to 3.70 GHz)
    GPU - NVIDIA Quadro K2000M Graphics with 2GB DDR3 Memory
    RAM - 8 GB DDR3 - 1600MHz (2 DIMM)
    HDD - 500GB Hard Disk Drive, 7200rpm
    Optical Drive - DVD Recordable
    Total - $1,663.78
    Buying separately: 
    512GB Samsung 830 Series SSD (Will replace with 500GB 7200rpm Drive) 
    Add 180GB SSD or 1TB 7200 RPM HD in Optical drive
    Add 16 to 32 GB of RAM
    My questions:
    Will it be possible for me to do as I've said above (install a Samsung 830 series 512 GB as my Primary disk in place of the 500GB my laptop will ship with? 
    Can I put another SSD or a full TB with atleast 7200RPM in place of the DVD Recordable optical drive?
    I want to upgrade the RAM to 16 or maybe even 32GB for excellent AE/Premiere performance. What clock freq RAM do you suggest/does it matter? If I want 32GB in total, how much should I get from Lenovo and which RAM do you suggest I add. 
    Any other suggestions on improving this build? Other brands you would recommend looking into?

    My build and final specs I've gone with for a similair configuration (heavy VM use, some video editing, some 3D CAD/CAM work in SketchUp and older games like TF2).
    As Shipped:
    CPU - Intel Core i7-3720QM ($200 for less than 5% performance improvement from the 3820 isn't worth it)
    GPU - K2000M (Twice the CUDA, worth it, newer video editors take full advantage)
    RAM - 4GB RAM shipped
    HDD - 320GB 5400RPM Hard Drive (See notes below for the trick)
    Bay - Blank Travel Bezel
    Upgrades:
    RAM - 32GB DDR3 1600Mhz PC12800 from G.Skill
    HDD - 240GB Mushkin Atlas mSATA SSD main boot drive, ~200MB/second random read/write worst-case
    HDD - Software RAID-0 Dual 1TB Western Digital AV-25 hard drives, ~200MB/second sequential read/write
    They've closed this loophole when I just checked, but you WERE previously able to order a W530 w/ a minimal 5400RPM low-power 320GB hard drive and NO CD/DVD drive (which but $180 off the price) by adding, then removing, the hardware RAID option.
    The dual 1TB drives can push 200MB/second easily for sequential throughput when rendering or playing through video, and the SSD can keep up for random read/write as a scratch drive. I will recommend ONLY allocating 200GB of the SSD so there's extra redundancy, that's what I did at least.
    But honestly, the 3820 isn't worth the $200 premium for 3.7Ghz versus 3.6Ghz CPU speed, spend that on the graphics card and/or buying the RAM and/or an SSD later.

  • Release Build for Dev vs. Production environment

    I'm working on a very small project that performs an LDAP
    search using a CFC on our Dev box. The folder structure between
    Development and Production are the same so when I create a release
    build and copy it from the dev environment to the production server
    I get a "send" error on the client. The compiled release build is
    copied to the same folder structure location as it was on the dev
    box, but I believe the application is still trying to point to the
    dev box ip address vs. the production server address. How do I
    handle exporting a release build for a different server than the
    one I'm developing on?

    How is your classpath build up?
    if it's like this:
    SET CLASSPATH=c:\prod;c:\dev
    try
    SET CLASSPATH=c:\prod
    CLASSPATH=%CLASSPATH%;c:\dev
    if that doesn't work try setting your classpath to nothing:
    SET CLASSPATH=%CLASSPATH%
    Please tell me if this helped, I've had a lot of problems with my PATH and CLASSPATH to, and I ain't sure I gave the solution. So please reply to let me know this is the answer or not.

  • Flash in the latest nightly build is not working and causing crashes. Help?

    I'm using an Asus Transformer tf101. I updated Nightly today and now flash does not work in the program. Once I attempt to play any flash video, the program crashes and it crashes one or two more times after that before I can use it again. I disabled all my plugins and cold booted but to no avail.
    Another issue I am having is that it sometimes freezes on the home screen on startup. This instance usually happens after I try to type an address or use a bookmark. The only way I found around it was to tap one of the three top site icons first. Does anyone have a solution to this?
    edit: I have reverted back to the previous build for now. It isn't as nice as the latest version's style but it plays flash video better than the other mobile browsers out there. Controls like pausing, skipping ahead or putting video to full screen are still hit or miss though.

    It is a known issue with the current Nightly builds. We hope to have it sorted out early next week. I don't believe the Aurora builds are affected by this issue. http://www.mozilla.org/en-US/mobile/aurora/

  • Build is not working in SAP NWDS version 7.0.09

    Suddenly the build is not working for my SAP NWDS version 7.0.09. It used to work fine before.
    When you create a DC and do a Development Component --> build . nothing is happening. In the

    Hi Mitul,
    Thanks for your reply.
    It’s strange, if your old build definitions can work using the same TFS Build Server, that indicate your TFS Server configuration is correct and can works. But only new build definition with default TfvcTemplate.12.xaml template cannot build successful.
    Please share your TFS Server detailed environment information here. And share your
    Build Service Properties dialog screenshot here.
    Try to clean the Cache for TFS 2013 manually(delete the content of the folder only, not the cache folder itself):
    Clean the Cache folder on Server machine. The folder path is:
    C:\Program Files\Microsoft Team Foundation Server 12.0\Application Tier\Web Services\_tfs_data.  
    After cleaned, on Server machine, click Start and select
    Run… to open the dialog box, then input iisreset.exe and click OK, wait it run completely.
    Additionally, you can run the TFS 2013 Power Tools BPA to scan the installation of your TFS Server.

    in my system,
    will you please tell me how to create a project for this
    sample.
    I have also read the readme.html file. but i could not follow
    exactly what they are saying.
    what i did is, I unzipped the source code into a folder
    hybridstore.
    I opened the flexbuilder : File -- new -- flexproject ( i
    have selected) then i have given name to my file (hybridstore) ,
    and set the path to the hybridstore folder where the source code
    exists.
    but it as created hybridstore.mxml file also.
    it is not working.
    will you please till me how to create project for this
    application.
    I have created project for other samples like restaurent
    finder, dashboard. they are working fine.
    I got problem with this sample only.

    Hi,
    thanks for your reply,
    I have tried to open using file import, but still it is not
    working.
    in the readme file for this application , contains how to
    Creating a project in Flex Builder for the Hybrid Store
    application:
    Name your default application catalog.mxml.
    Prevent Flex Builder from generating an HTML wrapper: select
    Project > Properties. Select the Flex Compiler page, deselect
    the Generate HTML wrapper file option .
    Create a Run configuration for your project but deselect the
    Use defaults option and instead assign the Run setting to the
    hybridstore.html in your project's bin directory.
    To enable debugging of the Hybrid Store application you must
    create a copy of hybridstore.html. Open it in an editor (you can
    right-click on the file and select Open With > Text Editor).
    Find the line that says "src", "catalog" and change it to "src",

    As i am new to flex , i could not know how to do this.
    please help me how to do this.

  • Video camera for greenscreen work +

    Hi.  I'm going to be setting up an in-home studio for a weekly, 1 hour show (to be viewed on the internet, not sure if could ever get it onto public access stations but might like the option). 
    The studio will be 20' long by 16' wide (probably minus a carveout for a bathroom) - but will retain a 20' length for filming.
    For noise control, planning to hang heavy black curtains on the sides and camera end, add some carpeting, and possibly some simple / inexpensive treatment on ceiling as well.  Will either paint back wall green or get some chromakey material to shoot against.  WIll have a desk with 1-4 people for the show, positioned 6-8 feet from the greenscreen, and the camera on the other end (roughly 12 feet away)
    I'm trying to keep the cost as low as possible, but would like it to be a step up from my $200ish consumer camcorders (a JVC Everio and a Canon HV20), so I've been looking at some used Prosumer or Professional Video Cameras that would allow me to capture the 4:2:2 colorspace I want to do for improved Chroma Keys.  (I have Adobe Master Suite CS6 and will be doing my work in After Effects and Premiere)
    We have a Sony DSLR A200 which came with a couple of lenses, but don't have any additional lenses beyond that (or much camera experience - so all sugestions welcome).
    Cameras I've considered include
    Sony HVR-V1U which I can get locally for about $1000 or less; one just sold on Ebay for $800ish - I'm a bit reluctant to make that big of a purchase there, but might consider it if a well established seller / store - B&H suggested this camera didn't give you 'true' 4:2:2 colorspace via HDMI; Sony said it did give you the colorspace, what was lacking in these earlier models (or hmdi ports maybe) was ability to transmit full intensity data (for brightness)
    Think I might need to buy an HDMI Capturing device to get the 4:2:2 signal  - Atomos Ninja 2 runs just under $700, lets you record directly to Hard Drives so fairly inexpensive option for massive storage; Have also seen a variety of products from Blackmagic (Intensity Pro - and Hyperdeck Shuttle - ranging from $150ish-$350ish)
    Canon XF100 is newer, seems to be a superior camera.  Records onto generic Compact Flash cards (which could help limit expense and make for easy editing); and meets 'broadcast standards' of 50Mbps at full HD, and might not need external HDMI capture - saw these at B&H for between $2000 used, $2500 new;  Currently listed for $2100 at 42nd Street Photo.com - which looks legitimate as best I can tell.
    Heard BlackMagic Pocket Cinema Camera mentioned as well - much cheaper, roughly $1000 for new - but seemed like those might need a variety ofa dd o (dont know if compatible with my Sony lenses) - and require fast (expensive) SD cards
    Would welcome any advice about good video camera for greenscreen work - along with any experience on the Atomos Ninja 2 or Blackmagic products retailed above (and any tidbits on setting up audio/video studio; will be recording some music in there as well)
    Thanks

    It's a trade-off ... which is to say, it's like Life in general, right?
    That many people that close-in is gonna be awful tight. Two people, ok ... three pushing it ... four is gonna work you some. Getting talent any farther away from the background given the limited distance the camera can move is not likely, without getting too wide a view from the cam exposing off-screen areas.
    As to the screen blending into the floor ... you can affix the front edge out from the wall such as to get a curved shape that can visually blend wall into floor, you need a good two-feet radius to pull it off though. And if someone steps back, um ... yea, screens and photog's background paper can easily get a fresh new hole in them.
    The "cove" backdrop support is a common commercial photographers tool ... needs to have at least a two-foot radius to be able to blend it visually from floor into wall. Often made by cutting 1/4" ply into 4-foot squares, then drawing a circle on them with a 2-foot radius, cutting out with a jig saw ... resulting in four corner sections that will be used for building the cove itself. Each with that radius of a circle cut out of it. Screw some small wood blocks onto the straight sides, using these blocks to fasten the cove-form sections to the wall and floor, then maybe three blocks flush with the edges of the cove one in the middle of the arc, then equidistant each side from there. Measure from an inch or two off the cove form onto the floor up flush with the bend of the cove and an inch or two past the cove-form up the wall. Cut a strip of 1/4" ply or masonry board or whatnot (some short of thin bendable but tough sheet good) that fits this dimension, push them tight to the form and screw through the sheets into the woodblocks on the cove forms.
    Then your screen material can just drap over it and you won't step through it. We built one for our studio, it's 12 foot wide, works great ... and put two layers of 1/4" ply over it, the first stopping just at the edge of the cove form, the other going past that another inche and a half or so.

  • Do I need flash builder 4 to work with the flex sdk?

    Is it necessary to use flash builder 4 to work with the flex sdk?
    Can you build apps just using the open source flex sdk. If so are there tutorials and books on how to do so?
    Thanks in advance for your help.

    No, you don't need Flash Builder to use the Flex SDK. If you download the SDK and unzip it, you'll find a 'bin' directory that has the mxmlc compiler in it. You can compile Actionscript or MXML files using that.
    ./mxmlc MyFlexApp.mxml
    If you are building an AIR application, you will use amxmlc
    ./amxmlc MyAIRFlexApp.mxml
    Then, launch your AIR application using adl
    ./adl.exe MyAIRFlexApp-app.xml
    Hope this helps,

  • How to do subtemplate Using XML Publisher Template Builder for Word 5.6.2

    Is it possible to do subtemplate (similar to subreport in crystal report) using XML Publisher Template Builder for Word 5.6.2?. If yes, can anyone explain how to call or import subtemplate from main template?
    Thank you
    V.Piraba

    Hi V. Piraba,
    Here is how it works for me in Microsoft Word 2003. I'm not sure if it will work in Word 5.6.2.
    Creating Subtemplates
    1) Make sure you fill in the “Territory” field when creating Subtemplates. Otherwise there will be no way to import the Subtemplate into another Template. The Import command requires the Territory field to call it from other Templates. You will get a big Java error if you try to import a Subtemplate that does not have the Terriroty field populated.
    Importing Subtemplates
    1) Place the following syntax at the beginning of your XML Publisher template to import a subtemplate (in Oracle Applications)
    <?import:xdo://XDO.[Template Code Name].English.US?>
    Example: <?import:xdo://XDO.WC_SUBTEMPLATE_LOGOS.English.US?>
    2) Use the following commands to importing Subtemplates from local/network drives (outside of Oracle Applications):
    <?import:file:C:/Temp/WC Subtemplate - Logos.rtf?>
    <?import:file:L://Templates/WC Subtemplate - Logos.rtf?>
    <?import: file:///C:WorkChemical.xsl?>
    You can email me at [email protected] if you have further questions.
    Hope this helps!

  • Lightning 1.0 build for the Thunderbird 3b4 build for Solaris 10?

    I use Thunderbird as my primary email client because quite frankly the version of Evolution in Solaris 10 is awful.
    I posted to the mozilla.support.calendar list over in google groups some months ago asking what happened to the Solaris builds of Lightning
    http://groups.google.com/group/mozilla.support.calendar/browse_thread/thread/12e27450b2cc67e0/7877dde2ace2ebf2
    Essentially they said Sun used to provide servers to build Lightning on and now they don't. What does it take to get Sun to provide those again?
    Evolution 1.46 is atrocious. 1999 called and wants there email client back....
    The latest build for Solaris is Lightning 0.9. Of course the project itself has moved on to 1.0+. 0.9 still works with Thunderbird 2. Thunderbird 3 while still in beta is already so much better than Thunderbird 2, but it requires Lightning 1.0 builds. You can download Sun contributed builds of Thunderbird and Firefox from the mozilla releases site. Why not build recent Lightning builds so people can actually use their Sun calendar with the Sun contributed version of Thunderbird?

    A similar question was asked w.r.t. 64-bit Linux builds:
    "Dan, regarding 64bit nightlys, this is somewhat dependant on Thunderbird itself having 64 bit nightlys. We will surely have contrib builds with 64 bits for releases though."
    The latest build for Solaris is Lightning 0.9. Of course the project itself has moved on to 1.0+. The project has not hit 1.0 release (or beta) yet.

  • Can i use flash for ui and interact with c++ builder for the rest

    i know flash can be used in c# in visual studio but i dont remember a thing of this interaction.
    is it possible to interact with c++ builder and how?
    the scenario is simple
    use flash for UI (showing-viewing data) maybe for a kiosk or something without mouse simply with touch input,
    use c++ builder for the rest , database connection data proccessing etc
    any info will be greatly appreciated
    thanks

    I would advise proper punctuation and grammar on a public forum, but to answer your questions, yes, yes you can! Flash can be used to produce any commercial imagery or animations for the purpose of making profit, as long as you have a valid license you purchased from Adobe. You bought it, you can use it for whatever you want.
    By "book", I assume you mean the "tutorial" book series made by Adobe? If so, the name of the series is "Classroom in a Book", there's one for each versions of Flash. Personally it hasn't been of much use and I would advise simply practicing by yourself and getting familiar with the tools. Look for online tutorials and publicly available projects and see how they work.

  • Can't Export Release Build for AIR app...

    Flash Builder 4.7 won't let me export a release build for any AIR apps at all...
    It started when I wanted to make some changes to an old AIR app.  Couldn't even run it in the debugger, so I updated the AIR SDK (using instructions found here: http://helpx.adobe.com/flash-builder/kb/overlay-air-sdk-flash-builder.html   and here: http://helpx.adobe.com/x-productkb/multi/how-overlay-air-sdk-flex-sdk.html )
    So after doing all that, and making some other changes, I finally got my AIR app to run in the debugger in Flash Builder 4.7.  Made the changes I wanted to make, then tried to Export Release Build...  Kept giving me a "Password Incorrect for this certificate" error whenever I tried it -- but it would never let me enter a password.  I went to Project | Export Release Build, and on the first screen there, I would click "Next" and it would jump straight to compiling, skipping over the screen where you're supposed to be able to enter the certificate info and password.
    Figured maybe because it was an old AIR project, that was causing the problem.  So I started a brand new AIR project -- very simple one with just a <s:Label> inside a <s:WindowedApplication>.  Went to Project | Properties | Flash Builder Packaging and created a brand-new self-signed certificate (which seemed to work) but again upon trying to export the release build, it wouldn't let me get to the screen where you enter the password.  Clicking "Next" from the first screen on Project | Export Release Build just jumps straight to compiling and (of course) it gives me the Incorrect Password error, because it never gave me a chance to enter the password.
    So what is going on here?  Why can I not export any release builds for any AIR projects?  This is extremely frustrating -- Flash Builder 4.6 never gave me these kinds of problems.  What can I do to fix Flash Builder 4.7 so it will work properly with AIR projects?
    Thanks,

    Hi,
    I think something's wrong with either your FB 4.7 installation, or how you updated the AIR SDK. I just walked through the exact steps you listed (except I already had the AIR SDK overlayed) and I can build a desktop AIR app without issue. I get prompted for the password and everything.
    I wish I had a better answer, but I'd suggest uninstalling and re-installing FB 4.7, be sure to remove preferences as well. Then before you update the AIR SDK, try building an AIR app with the base SDK that's included in 4.7. If you can get it to compile and prompt you for the password, then it's the way you overlayed the SDK that's messed something up.
    Make sure you download the correct AIR SDK that's specific to Flex. On this download page: http://www.adobe.com/devnet/air/air-sdk-download.html is a reference in small print that says: Note : Flex users will need to download the original AIR SDK without the new compiler. Mac Windows. Make sure it's that version of the SDK (without the ASC 2.0 compiler). Then try overlaying the SDK again and see if that works.
    I can definitely confirm that what you are experiencing isn't the norm, and that you can get the latest AIR SDK to work with FB 4.7
    Good luck!
