Help with system upgrade for CS6
Hello. I am hoping you can give me some advice on what to do (or buy) to improve my video editing system. I am a bit of novice when it comes to the technical/hardware end of things and I’m having some issues with my current system.
I working in Adobe CS6 Master Suite on a Windows 7 Ultimate PC. I mainly use Premiere Pro, After Effects, Photoshop, and Audition. I create very complete animations and videos with many layers and effects (via Boris & Red Giant). I also use Skype to record group video calls (with the program Evaer) for a reality T.V. recap show which I also edit with my Adobe suite. However I have two main problems.
When I render out a 20 minute premier pro project (with several HD video layers and effects) it takes almost 13 hours. It seems like this is very long considering my high end components, and set up. For example I run ONLY my OS off an SSD. My programs are on another SSD. The files I use for the video are on another HDD, and I render to another HDD. I was told by keeping all the aspects on separate hard drives it would speed everything up. Is that true? I also am now reading that rendering to a SSD would speed things up. Should I consider changing my workflow/hard drive set up that way?
My other problem is that when I record my Skype group calls of 4 people (with Evaer) to my SSD the audio is always off when I bring it into Premiere. I don’t know if this is a problem with Evaer, a codec (it records it as H.264/MPEG-4 AVC Codec. At 1280 X 720 and 30fps), that SSDs auto compress files, or that my system just cant handle it. Plus Soundblaster & Nvida both seem to active as audio features on my system I don’t know if that effects anything. Is there any advice any of you have on this issue as well? Perhaps another program to record skype or group calls?
Finally… all that aside. Considering the work I am doing should I just upgrade my system to a better Mobo and graphics card. I see a lot of people are recommending a dual processor work station. If so what is a good motherboard, and processor(s) I should get if I build my own workstation? I have about $4000.00 I could invest in building one if you think would greatly improve my work flow and render times. I also have a quadro k5000 on the way, and id like to be able to use the memory I have already.
I realize I am asking a lot of questions. I would truly appreciate any help, advice or just a point in the right direction. I have included my current system specs below incase that helps with any of my questions. If you have any other questions or need more information just let me know. Thank you again in advance for any help you can provide.

Eric,
I would hardly call the Quadro card an upgrade to a GTX 680!
Regarding getting more speed from a faster MB / CPU, since you already have a 6-core rig with 24GB of RAM I would think that any gains you would get would not be that dramatic.
Check out your cpu usage (Task manager) and see how busy your cores are during a test render. I am guessing that the Boris and / or Red Giant effects could be jumping your projects from gaining the full multi-core capabilities of the Adobe software.
Regards,
Jim

I RECIVED AN EMAIL FROM ADOBE AS : As good will gesture, we can help you with the upgrade for PSE 13. We would request you to place the order for Adobe Photoshop Elements 13 as an upgrade and then we will provide you the full version serial number for the same product against the new upgrade order" IS THIS UPGRADE FREE AND WHAT SHOULD I DO, HOW CAN I HAVE THIS UPGRADE?
Compare with on-line stores. The full version is often cheaper than Adobe's upgrade price.
See this example from Amazon, but check pricing in your own region.

Upgrades for CS6 and Lightroom 4 issues...
I bought both upgrades for CS6 and Lightroom 4. I downloaded the upgrades on my MAC desktop computer. Everything was fine. When I searched for them in applicatins, it showed both CS5 and CS6 and the same for Lightroom 3 and Lightroom 4. Should I delete CS5 and Lightroom 3? Thanks in advance.
Feel free to remove the older versions if you are reasonably sure you have migrated all your files and have no technical issues. Just make sure to run the proper uninstallers, not just trash the apps. Also be warned that you may need to reinstall LR4 and CS6 to fix broken file associations and shared components like Bridge...

Has anyone successfully used the Intuit Quicken compatible with Lion upgrade for investment tracking?
Although I gave up investment tracking for personal reasons (I had used Quicken Deluxe 2002 for many years for that reason), my understanding is that the new Quicken 2007 for Lion/Mt. Lion is completely the same feature wise as Quicken 2007 for PPC. It will run on Snow Leopard, too.
For $15, why not download it and just try it and LET US KNOW! -
Help with Simple Applescript for Midipipe
Hey all, I'm in desperate need of help with some Applescript for use in a program called Midipipe:
http://web.mac.com/nicowald/SubtleSoft/MidiPipe.html
I simply require an Applescript for Midipipe that filters out all OFF notes except for the most recently pressed key, or most recently pressed ON note. So for example, when multiple keys have been pressed, only the most recently pressed key will send an OFF note. I hope that is clear enough, i've had some major issues trying to get this work and my last hope is to hit the forums and find some help .. I've posted on some of the audio forums and i'm hoping someone here knows how to code this.
Thanks so much!! .. Its for an upcomming show next week so i'm hoping someone can get me in the right direction to solving this.
-JesI try to help, but you'll need to apply your brain cells to get it working with what I've already explained (three times with what I offer below). Try something like the following (I am renaming your buttons to ch1,ch2,ch3,ch4,ch5,ch6 so that the same functions can be shared by all buttons...
// this assigns listeners to all 6 buttons
for(var i:uint=1; i<7; i++){
this["ch"+String(i)].addEventListener(MouseEvent.CLICK, fl_ClickToSeekToCuePoint);
// this processes any one of the 6 btns when they are clicked
function fl_ClickToSeekToCuePoint_1(event:MouseEvent):void
var btn = event.currentTarget;
var cuePointInstance:Object = vid.findCuePoint(btn.name);
vid.seek(cuePointInstance.time);
resetButtons(); // this makes all buttons go back to normal
btn.upState = btn.overState; // this makes the clicked button change states
function resetButtons():void {
for(var i:uint=1; i<7; i++){
this["ch"+String(i)].upState = this["ch"+String(i)].hitTestState;
For this to work, your buttons need to have the same artwork in the hit frame as they do in the up frame. -

Need help with Microsoft Office for Mac upgrade question.
My MacBook died, great computer after six years! I just purchased my new MacBook Pro last night. I noticed that the MacBook Pro/OS X Lion does not support PPC software as I was trying to install MS Office 2004, which I have the 2008 upgrade for. Since the 2008 is just the upgrade it wants a previous version already installed and I cannot install 2004 MS Office, does this mean that I have to start over and just buy MS Office 2011?
I'm afraid so. Too bad you didn't apply the 2008 upgrade while your old MacBook was working. Then you could have migrated 2008 to the new machine from the MacBook's hard drive even if the rest of the MacBook was dead.

For example, if I had no idea how to test whether a file exists, I would just scan the big list of classes on the left for names that sound like they might include File operations. Hey look, File! Then I'd look at all of File's methods for something that tests whether it exists or not. Hey, exists! Then if I still couldn't figure out how to use it, I'd do a google search on that particular method. -
What's the best system upgrade for 'older' Mac Mini?
My MacMini is about five years old:
Model Name: Mac mini
Model Identifier: Macmini4,1
Processor Name: Intel Core 2 Duo
Processor Speed: 2.4 GHz
Number Of Processors: 1
Total Number Of Cores: 2
L2 Cache: 3 MB
Memory: 2 GB
Bus Speed: 1.07 GHz
Boot ROM Version: MM41.0042.B00
SMC Version (system): 1.65f2
This mini is still running System 10.6.8, with the 'latest' version of Safari being version 5.1.10.
Lately, Safari fails to perform certain features correctly on certain websites, and I have to switch to Firefox to make the websites work.
Is it time for a system upgrade, so I can run a newer version of Safari? If so, which newer OSX system version would be the best for me to upgrade to?A few other things to consider if you want to upgrade your OS.
If you are using any apps that are still PowerPC apps, they will not run on
any newer Mac OS. So you will need to find replacements ($$$$).
Also, in terms of apps, you need to make sure the apps you are currently
using are compatible with the newer MacOS. You may need to upgrade ($$$$)
or find alternatives.
Also, you will need to make sure any external hardware that you use with
your Mac is also compatible with the newer MacOS. You may simply need to
update drivers or the hardware may no longer be supported ($$$$).
So, upgrading your MacOS could end up costing more than just adding RAM!!! -
Need help with calculator project for an assignment...
Hi all, I please need help with my calculator project that I have to do for an assignment.
Here is the project's specifications that I need to do"
"""Create a console calculator applicaion that:
* Takes one command line argument: your name and surname. When the
program starts, display the date and time with a welcome message for the
user.
* Display all the available options to the user. Your calculator must include
the arithmetic operations as well as at least five scientific operations of the
Math class.
-Your program must also have the ability to round a number and
truncate it.
-When you multiply by 2, you should not use the '*' operator to perform the
operation.
-Your program must also be able to reverse the sign of a number.
* Include sufficient error checking in your program to ensure that the user
only enters valid input. Make use of the String; Character, and other
wrapper classes to help you.
* Your program must be able to do conversions between decimal, octal and
hex numbers.
* Make use of a menu. You should give the user the option to end the
program when entering a certain option.
* When the program exits, display a message for the user, stating the
current time, and calculate and display how long the user used your
program.
* Make use of helper classes where possible.
* Use the SDK to run your program."""
When the program starts, it asks the user for his/her name and surname. I got the program to ask the user again and again for his/her name and surname
when he/she doesn't insert anything or just press 'enter', but if the user enters a number for the name and surname part, the program continues.
Now my question is this: How can I restrict the user to only enter 'letters' (and spaces of course) but allow NO numbers for his/her surname??

*Can you please run my code for yourself and have a look at how this program is constructed*
*and give me ANY feedback on how I can better this code(program) or if I've done anything wrong from your point of view.*
Your help will be much appreciated.

Now my question is this: How can I restrict the user to only enter 'letters' (and spaces of course) but allow NO numbers for his/her surname??You cannot restrict the user. It is a sad fact in programming that the worst bug always sits in front of the Computer.
What you could do is checking the input string for numbers. If it contains numbers, just reprompt for the Name.
AND you might want to ask yourself why the heck a calculator needs to know the users Name. -
PhotoShop Elements 10...I need help with font size for watermark in Processing Multiple Files.....
I have PhotoShop Elements 10, and I am trying to watermark some of my photos, I have successfully added them one at a time with a font large enough to be seen. Now I am trying to add it using the "process multiple files" , I can do that but the font even at 72 the largest setting is so small on the photo you can barely read it! Can anyone help me the size larger on my photos?
Thank you, Michael. I just watched the Russell Brown video again for CS6 and looked real closely at his settings in ACR and he was using 240ppi. I changed my file in image size to 240 ppi and then ran the script and the layer didn't change size this time when I ran the script.
It is kind of annoying to have to change the image size everytime I want to run this script and then change it back again as most of my files are 300 ppi. I used to run his script for edit in ARC in CS5 and recall that if I just remembered to change the settings in ARC to 300 ppi while the script was playing and before pressing 'open' that the image wouldn't change size during the raw processing, but this doesn't seem to be working in CS6. Do you know of a way to use this script and not have to change the ppi for the image to 240?
Thanks again. -
Need help with correction inscript for duplication on regular basis
Hi,
I am using Oracle 10.2.0.4 on Win 2008 R2. We have Archive mode enabled and no rman catalog is used. I have a requirement where i have to duplicate prod sevrer on regular basis to development server.
I have created few batch files so that the entire process in automated. Stored all the scripts in c:\script\clone\ directory.+
I have taken the backup copy of password and spfile from prod server and copied to the development server in same location.
These are the scripts i run in order:
*1_clone.bat*
set ORACLE_SID=orcl
sqlplus / as sysdba @c:\script\clone\2_test.bat
*2_test.bat*
shutdown immediate
startup nomount
host rman target sys/oracle@live nocatalog auxiliary / @c:\script\clone\3_rman.rcv
*3_rman.rcv*
run {
allocate auxiliary channel d1 type disk;
duplicate target database to ORCL NOFILENAMECHECK;
exit
When the duplication process in about to finish, i get below error:
contents of memory script:
shutdown clone;
startup clone nomount;
executing Memory Script
RMAN-03002: failure of duplicate DB command at 07/31/2012 08:02:21
RMAN-03015: error occured in stored script memory script
RMAN-06136: Oracle error from auxiliary database: ORA-01013: user requested cancel of current operation
Recovery Manager complete
SQL>
When i press exit, this window closes and i can run the alter database open resetlogs;+ command from a new sql prompt. I check online and some suggest there might be a window open with system user connected. Please suggest any changes in the script.
Best Regards,Hello;
Having another session with system user will cause rman to throw this error. For example another session used to start up database in nomount mode still being active.
Duriing the cloning process the rman session needs to be exclusively connected to the auxiliary instance (no other session are allowed).

request for help with rman cloning script
