Help make my music portable for editing!!!!!

Hello,
I have 74 GB of music on my desktop harddrive and I really want the option to work with playlists and edit track names on my laptop. My laptop does not have enough room to transfer my music to it. I was wondering if there was a way to plug my laptop into my desktop and use it as a "monitor" to access those files from another room. Basically I want to be able access the music files that are stored on my desktop with my laptop so I can work on the files from different locations in my house instead of just my office. I don't want to invest in an external hardrive. What about some sort of extension cord that could plug my desktop into my laptop? Is this possible? Any suggestions?
Thanks,
Matt

With 74 GBs of music, I hope you have some sort of backup strategy.....
External hard drives now run less than $100 for 200-250GBs of storage. Very cheap backup insurance, as well. See This Link
You could directly connect the two computers....
- Connect them through a Router &/or Network
- Directly connect using an Ethernet cable: Straight for using at least one Mac; or Crossover for PC/PC Instructions here.
- Connect them via a USB-to-USB Network Bridge. Example here. There are various types out there (use Google).
Depending on what 'editing' you are doing and though what program, it may or may not be possible to do what you want. More details are needed.

Why doesn't Sony make a music system for it's own products?

I have a Sony Xperia z3 and I would love to have a music system like the iHome. I have been a loyal customer for years and I love Sony products. I believe many people would like to have a music system for Sony phones.

Good day cupicake68 and thank you for the comment. We are more than happy to forward your feedback onto the proper department. We place a very high value on feedback from our customers because it allows us to continue to improve. Thanks again and have a wonderful day. >Joffrey

Make PDF portfolio compatible for editing with earlier versions of Acrobat

I've built a PDF portfolio in Acrobat Pro X and then sent it to someone running Reader v9 and they can't edit it (and need to). Is there a way to save the PDF portfolio down so they can edit it?
Why does Adobe make this so difficult?

PDF Portfolios are based on Flash. It's impossible to view them without Flash. In Acrobat/Reader 9 and X, Flash was built in. In Acrobat/Reader XI, it must be downloaded for security reasons. (I believe the reasoning is that, because only a minority of Acrobat/Reader users use PDF Portfolios or features which require Flash, it's not wise to expect people to do the frequent security updates in Acrobat/Reader that Flash requires.)

You can do this with a dedicated audio editor or in After Effects. Here's a way to do it in After Effects:

The best way to make proxy files for editing?

Hi,
What is the best way to create proxy files for editing? I'm thinking Apple ProRes 422 (Proxy). The original material is DVCPRO HD 1080i50, shot on Panasonic P2 cards, and copied on to hard drives. But as there is about 400 hours of it, I desperately need to find a clever way to make smaller proxy files for editing.
I would also like to make the proxies at a smaller resolution than 1080i for the editing process.
I guess it's possible to import the media and then batch export it to the proxy format, but Is there a better way?

I'm not able to ingest the material directly from the P2-folders as ProRes 422 (Proxy). No matter how much I change the import settings in "Log and transfer", it still ingests as DVCPRO HD 1080i50.
Correct. DVCPRO HD P2 can only come in as DVCPRO HD. You can't transcode it. AVCIntra P2 is what you can bring in as ProRes. (Sorry Tom).
I can of course transcode it form there to the proxy format and delete the ingested files,
Why? Why do that? You have ingested all the files, right? You ALREADY HAVE THEM...right? Why not work with them? You obviously have the room (20TB). Why import all this, then now take the days it would require to make proxies?
Making the ProRes-proxies directly from the P2-material seems more logical, or isn't it?
DVCPRO HD P2 cannot come in as anything else, so the offline/online workflow for them doesn't work unless you import it all, then transcode to a smaller format...but then need to keep the originals online to relink to when you are done. If you wanted to do an offline/online, you needed to research this better...or test it...before you shot your hundreds of hours only to find that what you want to do won't work.

[Desktop][Your Music] Make "Your Music" friendlier to large collections

I've appreciated all the big interface changes that have gone into helping out people who like to collect album-by-album, and the "Your Music" functionality is really great. However, for people with big collections such as myself (well over 6000 songs spanning over 18 straight days of music, although i'm sure I'm not the biggest out there) it's kind of hard to just browse your music looking for an album to listen to. The album art based "Albums" view is very pretty, but for me it only fits 8 albums on screen at a time, which makes browsing your collection by album very slow. My idea is to add a slider, similar to the functionality that lets you change icon size in Windows' File Explorer, by which you could control the size of the albums manually: (Image not mine) It would also be cool to have "List" functionality, like File Explorer; just displaying the albums in a big list next to the artist and year, sort of how the Songs view is now, but for albums. It's a pretty minor gripe, but it would help make Spotify more usable for "music hoarders" such as myself :)

How to make a music video using flash

am trying to make a music video for a uni project, one of the things I'm trying to do in the video is to fade in a word at a time in whilst keeping them all aligned properly as a sentence - is there an easy way to do this?
Any other hints or tips on how to make a video but one especially for music would be much appreciated !! I'm just using Adobe Flash and NOT Adobe Premier, thank you !!

no, they would need to be created dinamically as the possibilities are unlimited,
I was thinking of saving the inputs in variables (starting in a) with previous value 0 following this logic:
if (a==0) {a=36}
else if (b==0) {b=36}
else if (c==0) {c=36}
where 36 is the frame where this button clip starts.
then, when the user is done i would do this at the end frame of each clip
if (a=/=0) {frame=a; a=0; goto frame}
else if (b=/=0) {frame=b; b=0; goto b}
my only problem here would be how do record the video...

Any suggestions for editing Music Videos with Multiclip?

Hi there. I have been reading about the new multiclip feature in FCPHD5. Sounds as if it would be perfect for editing a performance music video with multiple run throughs. In fact it almost seems too good to be true. I was writing to ask if anyone has tried this and what problems they encoutnrered or what workflow they could recommend. I haven't used multiclip before (or editied many music videos either) and would appreciate any suggestions.
This is my idea so far.
capture offlineRT the whole tape, make subclips with an angle setting of each take. Then edit the multiclip in a timeline which includes the song as an audio track. I thought I would synch with inpoints manually set to the beginning of the songs first riff in playback (as there was no clapper on set that day, curse them)
I have questions about onlining as well and how to make it a less tormenting nerve racking experience. Maybe its just me but the thought of trashing all the media, duplicating projects and recapturing makes me break out in a cold sweat. But I'll deal with that later.
Thanks for your thoughts, observations, suggestions.
Have a merry Christmas
Sincerely
Peter Stenhouse

The plan was to sync up the mixed PT audio to the video track. However the club screwed up the recording and I was left with using the audio from one of the tripod mounted cameras that I placed a stereo mike on.< </div>
General advice for live performances:
1. Depending on a computer to make the only recording is a silly idea. Use tape or a minidisk. Take a line feed off the main board and record it on at least one of the cameras.
2. There is nothing that will substitute for missing timecode better than a good countdown. Insist the band develop a creative visual and aural timing cue that all cameras and mics can see.
3. The most important part of shooting a performance or a lipsync gig for mulitcamera assembly is preproduction. The bugs, glitches and gotchas are all well known and thoroughly documented on thousands of band blogs.
4. There is no excuse to go into a location shoot unprepared and carrying a solid backup plan for all of the stuff that will go wrong.
5. A full, all-camera, all-personnel rehearsal is a good idea.
6. The band's lighting guy knows nothing about video. Give him some help or give him the day off.

I have an external server that stores all my movies and music, is there a way to stream it to my apple tv? If not is there a way I can link the folders to itunes (without downloading files to computer) and will that make them view-able for the apple TV?

If none of that works is there a way to get it working alternativly?
Additional Information:
Everything is linked via ethernet cable.
I'm using a PC to set it up.
If you have any other questions feel free to ask and I'll help where I can.
Thank you for any help

(I think the daughter got he better end of the deal!) I believe if you change the password and user id one of the devices it will stop that from occurring. But I'm not the one to tell you how to do it; someone like "Illaass" (Illaass seems to know how to correct / fix almost anything!) will know how if you don't. Just look for the "cat" icon.

Hello MacHeads: I downloaded Handbrake 0.9.1 for Tiger, so I can upload a homemade DVD for editing in imovie. Problem is I can't even access Handbrake Help book, because I think my firewall settings are preventing me. I tried turning off all my firewall settings.? IDK if I'm even doing that right. Can anyone help out here?

You don't need Handbrake for that if it is your own DVD.
You need to convert the VOB files in the TS-Folder of the DVD back to DV which iMovie is designed to handle.
a DVD is in a compresed format called mpeg2, which is standard across all DVDs. This is what is known as a 'final delivery format' and is not suitable for editing. Because is is compressed, a 4.7GB DVD can hold a two hour movie (dual layer DVDs twice that), whereas the DV stream from a video camera, which runs at about 13GB per hour, is not compressed and IS intended for editing.
In other words you have to 'reverse engineer' the DVD back to an uncompressed format in ordfer to edit it. There is a penalty for doing this in terms of slight quality loss, but it is one you can live with.
When you have your DVD as an icon on your desktop, double-click it, and it will open to reveal a TS-Folder containing a number of various files, some called VOB. These are the constituent parts of any video DVD.
When you have downloaded and installed mpegStreamclip, and purchased and installed the Apple mpeg2 plugin, open mpegStreamclip and drag the entire TS Folder into its window. Then using the various menus available to you (just explore them and you will get the hang of it) ask it to convert to DV.
That DV file, which will be many times larger than the original TS Folder, and which can a while to create (be patient - make coffee or prune the roses!) is what you can now import into iMovie for editing etc.
When you have finished doing that, you then have to turn the project back into a DVD.
mpegStreamclip can be downloaded from here:
http://www.apple.com/downloads/macosx/video/mpegstreamclip.html
which is free, but you must also have the Apple mpeg2 plugin :
http://www.apple.com/quicktime/mpeg2/
which is a mere $20.
Another possibility is to use DVDxDV:
http://www.dvdxdv.com/NewFolderLookSite/Products/DVDxDV.overview.htm
which costs $25.
For the benefit of others who may read this thread:
Obviously the foregoing only applies to DVDs you have made yourself, or other home-made DVDs that have been given to you. It will NOT work on copy-protected commercial DVDs, which in any case would be illegal.

i am using this jb 2.1 for add new records to one oracle database and for editing records.
I have one great problem for editing records
I have one objets that is as one of my database table. (PersonaObj.java)
     //personaObj.java
     public class PersonaObj implements Serializable{
          private Integer id_persona; //this ishte database table autonumeric
          private java.lang.String nombre;
          now the set/get methods.
     One field of this objets (bean) is the primary key of the table, and this field is one part of the pk from the entity bean.
     From one session bean i call the entity bena passing the objet
     into the entity bean (interface) i have one methods:
          public getPersona getT56aaat04();
     public void setPersona(PersonaObj obj);
     into the entitybean bean i have:
     public PersonaEntityPK ejbCreate(PersonaObj obj) throws CreateException {
          this.setT56aaat04(obj);
          public abstract Integer getId_persona();
     public abstract void setId_persona(Integer Id_persona);
     public abstract java.lang.String getNombre();
     public abstract void setNombre(java.lang.String Nombre);
     public PersonaObj getPersona() {
          PersonaObj obj = new PersonaObj();
          obj.setId_persona(getId_persona());
          obj.setNombre(getNombre());
          return obj;
     public void setPersona(PersonaObj obj) {
          setId_persona(obj.getId_persona());

Please can you help me to solve this problem?

Hello Werner,
The mappings seem to be alright at a first glance.
Have you tried out un- and redeploying your application? Sometimes values appear to be cached in the server. So if you have deployed the application before you entered DB_BANK as alias this might solve the problem...

Fixed. /Users/x/Library/Application Support/SIMBL/Plugins/AirKeysInputManager.bundle got corrupted by a badly installed safari extension. Deleting this, then reinstalling adobe air did the trick. I wasn't thorough enough on my first try, it was tricky to find everything associated. I had to look for files in the console log then search for them. Spotlight was missing some deep files, EasyFind worked better for me.
