Here is a question does anyone ever want to just kill final cut sometimes for doing things that seriously just make no sense

I would, but then would be out 1200 dollars.

Does anyone know why Log & Transfer in Final Cut Express is cutting clips short?

I am using Final Cut Express 4.0.1. For some reason, Log & Transfer in Final Cut Express is cutting short my clips. It's only a few seconds on each clip, and I've noticed it cuts off more the larger the clip is. However, I does not appear to cap my clip length or size, which means it is not due to some maximum size import setting.
Any help here would be greatly appreciated, as this is really frustrating!
Thanks!

Hi Cade,
SD card readers should work fine to Log and Transfer the footage in FCE, as long as the SD card stores the full file directory.

Question does anyone know a great app to get find and download free books instead of ibooks

Question does anyone know a great app to get find and download free books instead of using ibooks?

wanting everything in a single resource is too much to ask. You should split your query into three:
1) how to make platform games
2) how to make games in a windowed environment
3) how to do games in applets
For the first, that is quite difficult to put in a book as a generic topic. What you are looking for is how to make games, with that knowledge you should be able to figure out how to do a platform game. That is quite an involving task. You will have to find out:
1.1) how to efficiently blit graphics
1.2) 2D collision detection
1.3) framerate independent animations and movement
1.4) the "game loop"
as a start.
Making games in a windowed environment is not much different than fullscreen games actually; only the size of the screen is different. Other than that there shouldn't be much difference between the two, other than at the hardware level which you will probably not have to worry about too much in your beginning game development endeavors.
How to do a game in an applet: it is not much different from doing a game in a regular Swing application. I would start there and then later figure out how to do it in an applet. Using a Swing timer and custom painting on a JPanel should get you far enough, I would think.
For later projects you may want to look into the Slick library, which you can find here: http://slick.cokeandcode.com/ . I wouldn't start there though, start simpler with Swing only.

Hi, Dave.
If you're using the BlackBerry browser, you can't configure anything to bypass the RIM servers. I believe you may do so by using the Opera browser, but I haven't tried it myself so cannot comment with authority.
I hope that clears up the issue for you.

Does anyone ever get a human being when calling prepaid support at 888-294-6804?an stay on the line, but it just keeps repeating the menu options and eventually hangs up on me. That is really irrita

Does anyone ever get a human being when calling prepaid support at 888-294-6804? It tells me call volumes are higher then normal and I can stay on the line, but it just keeps repeating the menu options and eventually hangs up on me. That is really irritating!! I'd at least like the option to wait on hold. I guess I should have listened to the warnings about prepaid support before switching to prepaid last week.
The reason I'm calling support is I'd like to know when I will be getting the extra 500MB of data when signing up for auto pay. This is one of the reasons I switched to a 4G Allset plan. I signed up for auto pay promptly after setting up my online account when I switched from post paid to pre paid on Thursday July 17, 2014.

I'm sorry you are having trouble reaching a representative, mhaider60. When calling our Prepaid department you can reach a representative using the following number and prompts: 888-294-6804 when prompted, select 4, 6, and 4 to reach a representative.

Use MPEG Streamclip to convert it. Depending on the type of file you might need to purchase the MPEG-2 playback component.

I have been using final cut express for years and now want to switch to final cut studio 3. do I have to remove final cut express before installing final cut studio 3 or can I have them both installed at the same time on one computer?

I am using a macpro 12 core computer

You can have them both on the same computer as I and many others have done for years.
Just go ahead and install FCS 3 normally.
There will be absolutely no problems.

Hello i am new to the HP forum and have a lot of questions. does anyone know a lot about computers

hello all, I am new to this forum and hope to find some help. I have a HP pavillion thats about 2 years old and having a bunch of minor issues and trying to find someone that can help. when i had HP warranty they seemed to do more damage than good. my computer starts up in selective mode always and I dont know much about booting and safe boot. I tried doing a system restore but it starts and will go for days without ever completing, so thats one issue. also I have alot running at startup and not sure what to disable and when i do disable it its still there after a restart. does anyone know a lot about PCs and can help me. I would greatly appreciate it.

1. yes. there's no one place to find out how to do that. you'll need to learn how to use flash software. it's mature software with many features and there's no shortcut to learning how to use it. it would be a surprise if you could build a decent game with those specs in less than 100 hours working with flash.
2. insignificant issue.
3. for someone unfamiliar with porting flash apps to iOS apps, no.

SIM compatability question - does anyone know?

Does anyone know? My daughter has a LGKS360 slide phone with an Orange SIM.
Will that SIM fit into a Nokia Lumia 800 does anyone know (before we go off and buy one). What she wants a Nokia windows phone for I do not know! Mine's poo.
Still, I said I'd find out so if anyone knows, please do let me know! Thanks

As you claimed to have used a Lumia before you'd know it uses a microSIM
If the current phone does not have such a SIM Orange will be able to provide one if required.

I don't think it's possible to edit a slideshow and the accompanying thumbnails and caption/labels through in browser editing. Does anyone else want that?

Does anyone aside from me see this as a valuable new feature? Not sure it's possible...

You can edit slideshow hero images with thumbnails and captions through In browser editing. Are you facing any issue while editing those ?
Please provide details and screenshot which will help us to identify the issue.

What does modified file mean? and other Final Cut Library questions...

1.After updating to Libraries and the newest version of Final Cut X some of my media including multi cam clips and regualr clips show the red "modified media" screen. How do I get rid of this and get it back to the original media? Do I relink project files??
2. Before I updated to Libraries I was running all my media as proxy. Now that I have updated, I have to run it as optimized or origional or a red "Missing Proxy" screen appear. How can I go back to using proxy media?
3. Before I updated to the Libraries and the newest version of Final Cut X I would store my raw footage on external harddrive 1 and I would create all my projects under harddrive 2. I was told that its much better to do it this way because it puts less strain on external harddrives. Is this true? Also, if I choose to keep doing it this way, how would I do this with the new Libraries set up?
4-Whats the best way to backup Libraries on multiple harddrives in case a harddrive fails? I used to be able to back up just the projects but now when I try to back up a Library it's too many gigs.
Any advice would be great.

I upgraded to 10.0.1 in the middle of a complex multicam (6 Sony XDCam 422 HD @ 50 MB/Sec) with many effect/title/transitions w/o any issues - so I keep wondering -- what's happening with others?
Yes, relink to original (if needed) transcode more proxies/optimised (if needed). Inside of your libraries (control click in finder) you should be able to see all that is there in the package contents - but don't alter anything in the Finder.
Since I upgraded, I routinely generate masters ofo my daily Projects in PorRes and copy to my Lacie Raid. I copy the new (daily) library(s) to the Lacie then delete the ones from the previous day (this Takes time as I secure delete) - i update the Final Cut Pro Backups folder to the lacie every day. Once a week I use Carbon Copy Cloner to backup whatever has changed (and archive what is unique to the b/u drive) via a USB 3 drive.
The Libraies are getting huge but I prefer working off my internal Flash storage because it is so fast. I never used to do that - I preached putting "scrtach" on a drive seperate from OS but now my internal is so big and fast & since it is PCIe Flash & doesn't write like platters- I'm in love with the speed of renders and exports. I work from it.
That is what I do & haven't had a hiccup. Theonly surprise is that System Pal has twice shown me that I was down to only a few megs of ram (from 16 gigs). So I watch that.
Good luck

Does new MacBookPro 13" (Apr2010) run all Final Cut Studio applications?

Does the new MacBookPro 13" (April 2010) run all Final Cut Studio applications, and reasonably well?
I've looked at the FCS specs, CPU, RAM and hard disc minimums are more than satisfied with the MBP 13".
Now that the 13" has a discreet Nvidia (albeit sharing memory with main RAM) graphics card, that requirement is also satisfied.
The Color app needs a screen resolution of at least 1680x1050: Is this really a hard requirement?
i.e. will the Color app exit with an error message saying not supported at this resolution or will it work but with less space for items in its user interface? For example Adobe Premiere Pro 1.5 used to say minimum resolutions but I can run it on my Toshiba NB100 netbook at 1024x600 just fine. (BTW as an aside even this 200pound netbook has an eSATA port!)
Also I intend to use an external 23" 1920x1080 screen plugged into the MBP13" a lot of the time at home.
Also what about the Core 2 Duo on the 13" versus the i5 dual core hyperthreaded = 4 threads or i7 quad core = 8 threads on the new (Apr2010) 15" and 17" MBPs.
I intend to capture from solid state flash card, so dropped frames due to slow(is) internal 5400rpm non-raid hard drive capturing from real time playout of tape is not an issue.
Where would I notice the difference in speed? Where would the MBP 13" run noticeably slower compared with the new 15" and 17"?
I would expect the entry 2.4Ghz 13" Apr2010 model to run FCS/FCP reasonably well, given that people have coped with this sort of spec in the past.
As long as editing works reasonably smoothly on the 13" MPB, e.g. I can go backwards and forwards through my work, preview multiple tracks/effects (at lower resolution, if necessary - by using RTExtreme feature with ProRes422Proxy) and then leave it render to maximum high quality overnight, then I would be happy.
The smaller size of the 13" and lower cost make it more attractive to gain a more rounded cross platform skillset by entering into the Mac scene and for future opportunities requiring those skills.
The benefits buying a higher end notebook diminish against cost and increasing screen size (more to carry around), also that only the cumbersome (IMHO) 17" has ExpressCard34 for SATA input.

Thanks for your quick response and for the reassurance, my responses back...

What sorts of things did you want to work on?

Music videos, small projects to start with. I've come from working with Adobe Premiere Pro 1.5 on Windows XP on a 30minute documentary that took 18months part and fulltime to produce with 3 staff (http://www.youtube.com/mediamotioninvision for a clip of it). I feel the next level up would be to work with what many professionals are using: Final Cut Studio, as I was told at Cannes Film Festival in 2009. So to progress my craft I want to develop the skillset of the professionals.
{quote:title=NLEdit wrote:}
You also have to consider the i/o issue. How will you get footage in and out of the machine to an external drive and from a firewire camera if you go that route?
{quote}
Many film/video cameras, both low end/entry level consumer prosumer and higher end professional are recording onto solid state flash memory cards, e.g. SD. So transferring from that into the notebook is straightforward. This used to be more of an issue with tape-based cameras, as the footage transfer was real time and dropped frames could occur if the host recieving notebook could not handle the amount of data be sent from the camera, e.g due to slow hard drive/bus.
That said, even though solid state media eliminates the problem of dropped frames due to real time transfer of tape, it is a profound crying shame of a misguided decision that Apple decided to omit the ExpressCard34 interface (and therefore block high-speed eSATA/RAID hard drive options) from the 'Pro' range of 13" and 15" MacBookPros and reserve it for the 17", when the equivalent Windows notebooks have this for half the price.
So I'm reluctant to invest more money in a higher spec machine 1) because of limited budget 2) but also the higher spec 15" appears to be sadly unbalanced in that there is up to quad core of processing power etc but a lacking in external interfaces i.e. maximum of FireWire 800 for connecting external drives to. More better in my view to spend just enough on a 'sketch' grade notebook, for learning on and reasonable performance and benefit from the smaller size and cost.
Playback, previewing while editing the work may be a little compromised owing to the throughput of the internal harddrive, but, from my reading, I understand that RTExtreme and ProRes422Proxy technologies can help this situation of limited hard drive bandwidth/transfer rate whereby lower bitrates are used combined with reduction in preview quality to allow smoother playback. That is acceptable to me as long as I can get a good idea of how it looks. I intend to leave it running overnight to do the final maximum high quality render.
