Help this newbie save her film UNSQUASHED before she loses her mind!!

I'm working on my first project in FCP v6. Managed to work out everything except how to get the thing saved at a suitable size without it being SQUASHED.
I've read just about everything I can find about this and tried all sorts of different settings. No joy. Squashed every time, and it takes about 45 minutes to save each 10 minute clip. I've been trying to do this for six weeks! HELP!
It was a mini DV clip and I need to save it for web streaming / YouTube.
I'm exporting using Quicktime conversion.
Can someone please kindly hold my hand?
THANK YOU

first of all:
make an IN (I) and OUT (O) in your timeline for testing a 5sec clip, so you don`t have to render the whole sequence or movie again and again to test the settings we`ll try.
now a few questions:
1) is your sequence playing with the correct settings in fcp? with other words, is it be squashed before or after rendering out the movie?
2) is it 16:9 or 4:3 footage?
3) do you have the Compressor Application in your system?
4) Please right click one clip in your timeline and choose "format" or Object Settings".
Please post again with the answers....

Technically the Music, apps are not hers but yours as your Apple ID was used to get them. And as a consequnce they are tied to your Apple ID.
If she creates her own Apple ID she will need to get her own music, apps, etc...

HELP!! my babysitter synced her iphone 4s with my computer and i didnt notice she deleted all my contacts when she did this. so when i synced mine it deleted all the contacts on my phone! is there any way to restore from before the sync? HELP!!!

if you see the option to restore in itunes, click it. Your phone will give you the option to restore as new, or restore from backup.

The above article walks you through it, and has pictures. As for your contacts, if you had them saved to Outlook (windows contacts?) you can follow this other article for getting them back. I know it says ipod, but it will work the same.

I am totally confused! Please help this newbie :-)

Hi there,
I am sorta new to Java. I've learned the basics of the language, but now I am finding myself totally confused with all the new stuff. There is SOOOOO much stuff on the java.sun.com website that I don't know where to begin.
Ok, here is my question. Well, questions.
1. Is there a document that describes when exactly one would want to use the J2EE as opposed to the J2SE?
2. I want to develop a multi-platform small business desktop application. This application needs to support multiple users accessing a database on a server. It also needs to be capable of accessing a web service via the Internet. And there will be a web-based version of the application. So given these requirements, how do I know if I need the J2EE or not? I would like to avoid requiring the J2EE. The idea being to have a desktop application that can be sold for around $100 per seat license. J2EE application servers are relatively expensive, are they not?
Where do I even begin? Can someone point me to a document or some information?
Incidentally, I want to do all my development on Linux.
Thanks for any help!

Suppose somebody said to you "I have just started to learn to cook, and I would like to open a restaurant in Paris. What should I serve, and will I need to know French?" What advice would you give that person? Well, hopefully you would tell that person to get a job washing dishes or waiting tables at a local restaurant and learn the business starting from the ground up.
Same answer in your case. Start with J2SE and work on learning Java. Also learn about Internet technologies. Then probably after several months to a year you will start to understand the business, and the answers to your questions will become clearer.

Any Java experts,please help this Newbie.

Hey,any one of you knows how do you call a program from a button?

By clicking on a button on the peer to peer share program,the chat program would open in a new window.
Please Help Me!
Thanks alot.

Please help this newbie make a start with LabView 7

Sorry for these very very basics but I failed to resolve these myself though I did my best.
I try to make a GPIB i/o on a block diagram.How to ?
I cannot find such in the functions menu.
I find only a vi for typing direct commands ( which does work ).
I tried many many variances, but end of all i get stuck, e.g. at : file>new>instrument i/o(gpib)>read and display>right click>controls>search>i/o....i get stuck.
I am afraid I do miss a lot.....
I have a NI GPIB PCI 488.2 card and some HPIB instuments.
The PCI card and the NI 488.2 drivers work.
I can read the instruments' dev.#.
How should I implement instruments' r/w commands in an i/o block diagram ( if possible at all ).
I cannot use VISA ( I
assume C++ or VB is needed for that, which is beyond my capabilities ).
Any help will be gratefully welcomed.
Peter van Daalen.

LabVIEW can do VISA and NI-488.2 directly; you don't need C++ or VB.
First of all, you should see if there are instrument drivers available for your instruments. There are thousands of free drivers available on http://ni.com/idnet/. Search there first, because if you can find a driver for any of your instruments, it will save you a lot of time.
If you can't find a driver, you will have to send and receive messages from the instrument directly, and this is where NI-VISA and NI-488.2 come in. The simplest way to get started with this direct communcation is to use the "Instrument I/O Assistant". This is in your "Functions->Input" palette, and you can read about it in the online help.
The Instrument I/O Assistant will bring up a dialog to select th
e device, send it a command and parse the results. Once you click "OK", it creates an Express VI on your diagram for you to incorporate into the rest of your application.
I hope this helps you get started.

Please help this Newbie.

I have an iMac which I just picked up used. My problem is that I just installed an HP 1600 all in one. I downloaded the OS X drivers for it and everything went well. However the computer has an older version of Mac: Word & Excel (2001) and when I use these programs it goes into what I think is called classic mode. Then when I go to print, the printer I just installed is not present. In fact, when I go to the chooser there is a list of printers that I have no idea where they came from. How can I print to this newly installed printer from these programs and how do I delete these other printers which I don't have.
Ps. When I go to the Print Center the only printer present is the newly installed HP. Also when I click on the configure button it does nothing. Did I do something wrong during the install?
iMac Mac OS X (10.2.x)

Hi, alpinecow -
If that printer is usable in OS 9, you will probably need to install software for it into OS 9. Check the CD that came with the printer to see if there is an OS 9 (or Classic) set of software for it.
I'm not familiar with that specific model HP printer, but may HP printers, particularly laser ones, are comfortable using OS 9's LaserWriter 8 driver. In Chooser, try clicking on LaserWriter 8 in the left pane; if the printer then shows up in the right pane, click it, then the Create or Setup button that becomes active at the bottom of that pane.
There are some things that work differently in Classic vs. how they work in OS 9. If that printer needs AppleTalk, you may need to enable AppleTalk in Chooser. Not sure how that works in Classic, since OSX is running the hardware.
As far as getting rid of other printers, go into the OS 9 (Classic) System Folder (not the folder named System, that's OSX), here - System Folder >> Printing Prefs >> Parsed PPD Folder, and from that folder discard the items for printers that no longer exist for that machine.

Please help this newbie - Link to a Tabbed widget

I have 4 Categories/links on the main splash page which I need to link to a widget on a separate page. I need each link to go to the appropriate tab on the widget. Is this something that is possible? I have used the anchor/place gun on each tab and I have linked to them. But when I preview, it each link goes to the same tab. What am I missing?

Thanks for the suggestion. I had considered that and wondered if that would work, however, we were trying to avoid having to have the extra pages. Hopefully in the next update we will get this ability.

Help this newbie with a 1067 error code on a SIMPLE ActionScript please

Hi, I am new to this. I am creating a presention in flash and I want to link to the narration mp3 files as oppsed to embedding them as they will change in the future..
I have two different books with 2 different pieces of script to use though the overall process is the pretty much same. For both I get the exact same error.
See below:
1120: Access of undefined property nar1.

Thanks Ned.
It's the posting. I had a nice little post written up for my initial request but when I posted-it truncated and I had to retype everything (it's the kind of morning I am having ) I will fix my typing.
I suppose I could add the mp3 files to the library and update that way but I was hoping to set the files up so that files could be overwritten as the slides were changed or swapped out without the extra steps.

Array to DataGrid not working. Please help before I lose my mind (and my hair) completely.

Hi,
I'm new to the whole flex/as/flash builder, but I'm trying to do a seemingly simple thing and it's not working.
Flex Mobile project has a button and data grid. When I press the button a 2 dimensional array is build with random numbers. Then I want to show the array on datagrid.
The array does get build but it's not showing up on data grid.
Any help would be appreciated as I've spent lots of time on this without any solution.
Thanks,

This is obviously a bug - is there a way around it? (before i lose my mind?)

solved - if you are on a mac: http://forums.adobe.com/thread/507589?tstart=0
i'm on a lovely somewhat new macbook pro.
i cannot activate due to the painful E_ADEPT_REQUEST_EXPIRED message. i have trashed my copy. checked my date and time, then re-installed - the date/time/timezone not changing between downloading it and trying to activate it. i have done that exercise five times now.
i've looked around here - lots of this message, but outside of "the time thing", i have not seen a solution. this is obviously a flaw with the program, but has someone found a way around it other then the adobe recommendation of "the time thing"?
i really want to use this reader, but i am really losing my patience!

Thanks for your reply
I solved my problem,
Definitely a bug in syncing through itunes.
- Connect Iphone with MacBook Pro through USB
- Go to iphone on itunes, photos, deselect photo synchronization.
- Sync (all pics will be removed from iphone)
- Close itunes, iphoto, disconnect iphone
- Select in finder: (home)-pictures-iphoto library.
- Sec click on iphoto library and choose "show package contents"
- Delete iPod Photo Cache
- Close finder
- Empty trash
- Reconnect iphone
- Allow photo synchronization again and everything works smooth.
After this, changes made in iphoto are instantaneously reflected in iphone photos.
Once every hundred photos, one gets detached from iphoto and then changes are no longer reflected (buggy) :-(
In this case I erase the photo in iphoto, sync, go back to iphoto trash, reestablish the photo from the trash and sync again.
Hope this improves. Still have to try cloud though.
Thanks

No, you won't. Back it up anyway; you may want to use a program such as Carbon Copy Cloner or SuperDuper to create a bootable clone on another drive.
