Help Setting Up FCP HD Workflow

OK, so I may be a little late to the party, but I've started making new projects in HD. Just looking for some advice or pointers to keep the editing a fast as possible and on the export settings.
I make many text/motion graphics heavy TV spots. For reasons of non-FCP users being able to help in production, many of the "cards" are done in Photoshop at 1920x1080 and exported as PNG, TGA or whatever I need and animated. Works out great. These spots are exported as h.264 at a high bitrate and they look great--on my screen. Most stations as for this format without any slate so it can be injested and put on air quickly. I never get to see these things on air since most are scattered around the country. Just wanted to make sure I'm doing it right on my end.
The other area I need advice on is using footage shot in HD. Two formats in particular -- HVX200 which comes in at 1280x1080 and Canon 5D Mark II.
The HVX200 is in DVCPro HD codex at 1280x1080. I know there's a easy setup, but was wondering if there's any difference working in 1280x1080 setting or choosing the full size 1920x1080 HDTV option? I mean you end up with the same pixels in the end.
From what I've read, it's best to convert the 5D footage to ProRes before editing.
In either case, I just want to make sure I get the most out of my 8-core invenstment so I can edit as fast as possible.
Thanks for your time.

For mixing DVCPRO HD and ProRes converted 5D files...use a ProRes sequence. You won't have to render the DVCPRO HD until the final, and it is better to go full raster than the ultra thin raster DVCPRO HD.
As for delivering what the stations will take it...all you can do is make what they ask for, and make sure it looks good before you give it to them. What they do to it to make it airable is out of your control. Just look at what you export, make sure it looks good, and if so...ship it. That's the best you can do.

Portrait (9:16) format screen setting in FCP

Please help!
I am creating the content for Digital Signage. Is there a way to work native 1080 X 1920 (portrait format) in Final Cut. I can not find settings Rotate clockwise 90 deg. for the entire project. Final output must be 1080 X 1920 QT.
Thank You.

You can't rotate your TV set in FCP. You have to create a custom sequence preset that's 1080x1920.

How to set field value in workflow SPD2013?

Hi All,
how to set field value in workflow SPD2013? Actually using Infopath, i need to update a field value through workflow.(Little differnt from SPD2010). How to do this?

As Amit says, some elaboration here would be good. You can use InfoPath as a form for either a list or a library and then set it to trigger a workflow upon item creation. The workflow will consist a number of actions, one of which is the Update
Field Item.
More information on the available steps can be seen here.

Help setting up BTinternet email with Apple Mail

Hello everyone,
I need help setting up a btinternet email account with Apple's Mail sofware. I am setting it up on behalf of my aunt and uncles new macbook pro so I hope i get some solutions quick because Im leaving their place by the end of the weekend and I would love to have their email setup and teach them how to use it.
They have 2 btinternet email accounts, the first one they use alot as its their main email account which is currently setup on MS Outlook on their old computer. The secound one they use rarely and its not setup on MS Outlook.
Heres the problem, when I setup their main email account with apple mail, I have no problem creating the account however once created the inbox is empty - it does not load previous emails. It can send emails fine, if i send an email to the account using my personal email it will receive it but when I switch off the computer and switch it back on the mail box is empty. So I checked the email account by going to yahoo.co.uk and signing in - again even on the web page the mail box is empty.
I then setup the second btinternet email account on Apple Mail shockingly this works perfectly all the old emails got loaded up in mail. So how do I do this for the main account, I know the difference is Outlook mail but I rather not delete that because if it doesnt work then they would lose all their old emails.
Please help
Thanks in advance
PS: ive setup my hotmail and yahoo accounts and they all work fine by the way

Please guys give me something or any random ideas u may have. im running out of time.

Any devices connected to the same icloud account can sync all the data on that account. For this reason an icloud account is really for a single user.
On a mac, if each user has their own account, then the itunes for that mac account should be set up to connect to that user's icloud account (System preferences>icloud).

Help setting up my new IPod Touch on iTunes on windows 7 64bit

Hello there,
I need help setting up my new IPod Touch to my Itunes 10 application on a PC running windows 7 64bit. I have watched the tutorial on how to do it but what the tutorial says it is supposed to do is not what is happenning for me:
1. In the tutorial it tells you to connect your ipod to your computer, then, (if it is for the first time) when the ipod appears and is selected, a window will come up allowing you to name your ipod, and begin selecting the options you wish to use.
I did as instructed but quickly came against some technical issues.
My issues:
1-1: When I selected the new iPod Touch for the dirst time I got an error message.
A) This was quickly fixed once I calld up apple support on the phone (turns out an IE browser setting was blocking it.)
1-2: With that fixed I selected my iPod Touch again but instead of the window indicated by the tutorial, I instead got an iPod registration form window.
1-3: I filled out the form and pressed the submit button (thinking everything was fine), then a new window came up that looks like this:
Free Find My iPhone
Free Find My iPad
Free Find My iPod touch
Set up Find My iPhone for free so you can locate your device if you lose it, remotely lock the screen, or wipe its data.

The first three lines and the first paragraph are indented as if there should be some type of graphic there, but it is missing. The underlined words indicate that they are supposed to be links, but they don't go anywhere, they are broken!
Now wheenever I connect my iPod Touch and select it the above window comes up and nomatter what I try it will not move or change.
Please help!

Try setting up the device in a new user account. or visit register.apple.com and verify your device is registered

"No payload set" error in CQ5 workflow

I'm trying to programmatically start a workflow from an OSGi service/servlet. Everything seems to work fine, I checked the WorkflowData and the model to verify they are correct. However, when the startWorkflow method runs, it creates a new instance of the workflow, but doesn't set the payload, and i get this in the error.log file:
     com.day.cq.workflow.impl.jcr.WorkflowManager No payload set
     com.day.cq.workflow.impl.CQWorkflowSession Workflow instance started with model: /etc/workflow/models/skill-request/jcr:content/model and ID: /etc/workflow/instances/2012-07-17/model_2347856755318064 for payload: skill,Software,barmstrong
As far as I can tell, it has the right data, but refuses to set it to the workflow. Any thoughts or hints would be much appreciated.
My code:
protected void doPost(SlingHttpServletRequest request, SlingHttpServletResponse response) throws IOException
     String skillname = request.getParameter("skillname");
     String skilltype = request.getParameter("skilltype");
     String userid = request.getParameter("userid");
                    // Getting variables ready for a Workflow
                    ResourceResolver resourceResolver = null;
                    Session session = null;
                    try {
                              SlingHttpServletRequest slingReq = (SlingHttpServletRequest) request;
                              session = slingReq.getResourceResolver().adaptTo(Session.class);
                              WorkflowSession wfSession = _workflowService
                                                  .getWorkflowSession(session);
                              String workflowId = "/etc/workflow/models/skill-request/jcr:content/model";
                              // Starting a Workflow
                              WorkflowModel model = wfSession.getModel(workflowId);
                              WorkflowData wfData = wfSession.newWorkflowData("SKILL_DATA",
                                                  skillname + "," + skilltype + "," + userid);
                              Workflow wf = wfSession.startWorkflow(model, wfData);
                    } catch (WorkflowException e) {
                              ps.println(e.getMessage());
                              e.printStackTrace(ps);
                    } catch (Throwable e){
                              ps.println(e.getMessage());
                              e.printStackTrace(ps);

Thanks for the quick response Scott. I tried setting the Object to the path of a repository node:
     WorkflowData wfData = wfSession.newWorkflowData("SKILL_DATA", pagepath);
but it still failed to set as the workflow's payload. I also tried starting the dialog from the Sidekick, which does work.Here are the log messages for the two runs (Sidekick run first, failing run second):
POST /etc/workflow/instances HTTP/1.1] com.day.cq.workflow.impl.CQWorkflowSession Workflow instance started with model: /etc/workflow/models/skill-request/jcr:content/model and ID: /etc/workflow/instances/2012-07-17/model_2352496948786228 for payload: /content/icubed_profile_site/index/resources/barmstrong

Yet the first run sets the payload just fine, while the second sends back the "No payload set" error.

Also made sure I turned off the guest network on the APE. Once it was set up I clicked on Airport in the Airport Utility then wireless Clinets, jotted down the client I wanted to restrict access to (Kid's Laptop) then go back to Airport screen, last option on right Access then MAC Adrs Access Control change to "Timed Access", then click the + on the bottom of the window, type the MAC adrs you want to restrict and set time limits, when complete click done..... Only took me a week and a half to figure it out...... Good luck, if that doesn't help let me know, but I'm no expert...
thanks!!
i think i have the most recent 327w update, because it now shows my modem screen in a red color and it is broken into 3 sections across the screen.
as far as the AEBS is concerned, you did not use it in bridge mode at all?
i thought you had to connect 1 cable from it to the 327w? I have about 5 items i will be connecting, so i will probably run any wired from the AESB, but not sure yet?
thanks, and yaeh last time my network took me a bit of time as well!!
what kind of encryption are you running?
thanks

Teresa,
I think the best way for someone to volunteer to help you would be for them to send you a Private Message (PM) here on the forums. You should see a small envelope in the upper right corner of the screen, when it changes color you will know you have a PM to view.
I would be happy to help, but since I am in North Texas I don't think that is a viable option Sorry....

Need help setting up and configuring rsync

Hello
I need help setting up, or rather configuring rsync to sync data between my brand new iMac and my Macbook Air.
Here is what I would like to:
- I want all of the files on both machines to be an exact mirror or copy of each other. Basically I have an iMac for at home, and then a Macbook Air for the road.
- The main folder on both Macs is called 'Sara' and I want the contents (mainly the 'movies' folder, 'music' folder, 'documents' folder and 'pictures' folder) to immediately sync up with each other when both of them are on my home network.
- this means if I'm working on a file at home on my Macbook, it will immediately write to the same directory on my iMac and vice versa (if I'm working on file(s) on my iMac, it will immediately save the contents to my Macbook). This way, if I'm working on last minute project my iMac, and then have to head out the door to the airport, the file is immediately saved to my Macbook (no usb for USB transfer).
- hopefully this makes sense??
Any help is greatly appreciated!
Thanks

It's a lofty but unrealistic goal. Rsync does not run automatically. There is no realistic method of instantaneously synching two computers over the internet or even on a LAN.
I would suggest you might try using Synk Pro which, in theory, can keep two devices in sync when they are both on the same network (and both have shared and mounted drives.)
If you must do this with rsync then I suggest a Google search for rsync tutorials.

I need help setting up an apple id for my son's phone. It seems his email address has been taken and/or we cant get the password.

Two different things
If you forgot the password
If you forgot your Apple ID password - Apple Support
If the email ID you want to use is in use by someone else - then you may need a new one
The iCloud ID's are usually unique and may be of help if you set one up

Need help Setting up Multiple Static Ip , 1 for each port of the fios router

Need help Setting up multiple Static Ip on my fios router
I have been trying to figure out how to set up multiple ip in my fios router.
However I kind of managed how to set up multiple static ip However the way I want it is for each port of my router to have an external ip signed to it. ( like 4 different modem in 1 )
Verizon gave me 5 static ip but they can not help me how to set it up.
Have anyone here done more then one static ip on different ports? I assume that the process will be the after the second static ip.

You want to set up Static Nat. You will not assign the IP to a port, but rather to a local machine. Figure out what machines you want your IP's to go to. Under the firewall section you will see static nat. Pick the machine you want and enter one of the IP's you were assigned.
