How does Mercalli compare with FCP X's Image Stabilizer?

Last night we were shown some videos which had been stabilised using Mercalli.
http://www.prodad.com/home/products/videostabilizing/300391667,l-us.xhtml
The steadiness was excellent but as we were not shown the original footage there was no way of judging the improvement.
Has anyone used this system and if so how does it compare with FCP X's stabiliser?

aside Luis' excellent reply:
* consider to upload your video to YouTube and set it there to 'hidden' or 'privat'. By eMail, share its URL. Many ISP have a max for eMail attachements, and video is huge by nature...
* poor-man's-Compressor is the free tool Mpeg Streamclip.
It offers in its various Options lots of settings, you usually would do in Compressor. Just share a Master from FCPX, open it in Streamclip and then 'export' it in any compressed form you like, e.g. reducing resolution, frame-rate, bit-rate. Less convenient than Compressor, which would allow to add your very own settings/'destinations' into FCPX... but cost-free.-

  • How Does FXHome compare with the latest version of Motion?

    Motion is the only application in the FCS suit that I dont have much experience with. I suspect there are quite a few people like myself that would tend to put motion as a last priority when getting to grips with FCS.
    I've been spending some time looking at the FXHome website (http://fxhome.com/) and watching their tutorials. It looks very impressive for what you get for the money. There are a suit of applications that they bundle which appear to cover everything motion can do and a whole lot more.
    IS there anyone using the FXHome software with Final Cut Studio? I'd be really interested to know.
    thanks

    hi
    i dont know much about fxhome, but looking at the site briefly it appears to be a hole mess of products and add ons. it says it works with fcp and premiere, so i presume its a plug-in type thing? it seems to double up on a lot of the features of motion, and while some of them may be more features, i doubt it offers the flexibilty and power that motion offers overall.
    i'd say make motion a higher priority!

  • How does ARD compare with Screen Sharing

    I make a lot of use of Screen Sharing for managing multiple computers across the internet. However, with the drastically reduced price of ARD on the App Store I am tempted to replace my Screen sharing usage. However, if all I need is screen sharing do I gain anything ?

    Only the ability to show multiple computers at once
    http://www.apple.com/remotedesktop/remoteassistance.html
    and perhaps Curtain Mode (that may be in the normal screen sharing; I can't recall). Other than that, ignoring all the other features and functions of ARD, then unless there's something I'm not thinking of, the screen sharing capabilities are the same.
    Regards.

  • Anybody use Word Perfect?  How does 'Pages' compare?

    For anyone who wants to cut to the quick, just read the question....the last paragraph.
    I need some comfort. It's probably normal to get frustrated with a new Word Processing program like 'Pages' after only 2 days of using it so I'm willing to be patient, but I have a general question, which actually appears in the Title of this post.
    I've used Word Perfect on my non-Mac computers for 20 years and although the program is without equal in it's sophistication and ease of use (IMO), I do believe it caused some big problems for other programs on my computer (incompatibility problems with other software). I've wanted an iMac for a long time just to get rid of all the problem I had with those other computers, thinking I'd be rid of WordPerfect, which I blamed for many of the problems. I wanted a fresh, clean start, so I sure don't want to mess up my 2 day-old iMac by loading up a word-processor like WordPerfect again....that'll just mess everything up again.
    But I have mixed emotions. After my past experience with Word Perfect, it's just hard for me to believe that the WP people actually got rid of all their bugs, and wouldn't inadvertently stick them all into an Apple product. I'm paranoid, I know. I'm asking this question because word-processing is the most important thing to me in using a computer and I found WordPerfect to be perfect, as a word-processor, that is.
    I'm certainly willing to give 'Pages' a fair try, and hope it works out for me. But, is there anyone here who uses WordPerfect on their Mac (and with which OS) and does it cause you any problems? Also, in your opinion how does it compare with 'Pages'?

    I was an avid WP user (DOS, AtariST, and Mac versions) for years and I was a beta tester for the Atari and Mac versions. I was never all that impressed with the Windows versions. When the program was sold to Novel support and quality became uneven and after Novel sold it to Corel, well, let's let sleeping dogs lie, eh?
    Pages isn't WP - it is a consumer word processor and desktop publishing program. Still it is quite powerful and easy to use...once you accept its conventions. That is a sticking point for a lot of people. With OS X, Apple has taken the toolbar and adapted it to its own purpose. Unlike some programs that attempt to put every command in toolbars, Apple prefers to target a smaller number and allow the user some ability to custom it. Apple has also adopted the idea of palettes - one palette actually. The inspector. In OS X the inspector is used to take commands that might be buried in the menu hierarchy and puts them out front. With Pages, like many OS X programs, getting to know the Inspector is key to using Pages.
    As I said, Pages isn't WP or MS Word. That's good and bad. The good is that the program is cleaner and easier to learn. It also means that lots of features you might consider important are missing. You should have a demo version of iWork on your new iMac and you have 30 days to use it before you have to decide to keep it or ditch it.

  • How does Blogger compare to iWeb 09, and starting tips?

    I've never had a blog site, but I would like to start one, with an 'About me', posts, and comment ability that I can handle. Some have recommended opening a free site with Blogger. Now that I have iWeb 09 (3.0.1, still unopened) and a MobileMe account, I'd like to ask:
    1) How does iWeb compare to Blogger (or any other blogging software)
    2) What should I know before starting a blog with iWeb?
    Best regards, Isshi.

    If you use one of the industrial strength blogging sites that have been suggested here you might be able to add it to an iWeb page using an HTML snippet and iFrame code as in this demo page: Embed One Site Within an iWeb Page.

  • Java Gurus: How does Java compare to 4GLs?

    I've been using Java for a year now. I love Java. As a 3GL, how does Java compare to a 4GL?
    (I can't say I know a whole lot about fourth generation languages. The only 4GL that I'm a little familiar with is Clarion.)
    What are your thoughts?

    What is 3GLs and 4GLs? You mean Programming Language and Scripting Language?

  • How does Muse compare to Apple's iWeb?

    I just heard about Muse.
    How does Muse compare to Apple's iWeb?
    Is it a similar type of user experience?
    Is it more or less versitile?

    I just migrated from iWeb to Muse.
    I've run my very small but well-established business in iWeb for almost 5 years and I was so sad to see Apple cut off iWeb. It worked super-well for my needs.
    I looked around and chose Muse because I could build what I wanted without being hemmed in by a template. In every other program I tried I either had to live life in a template or know how to code. I just wanted mine to be a simple straight-forward website that harmonized with my content. My followers don't need or want or like a lot of bells and whistles, they are interested in my content and in ease of navigating around.
    I moved my iWeb site from mobileme to another server about 3 months ago and then two days ago began moving into my new Muse site.
    In the last couple of days I have had about 600 or so of my followers find Muse and many have written to say they like my new site, that it loads fast for them and (as I suspected) they like that it is simple and easy to use.
    Mind you, I have a TON of work to do before my move is complete, but so far it is all I hoped it would be. I wish it had a couple of features more (such as a way to collapse and store pages when I'm not working on them) but I'm hoping they'll come in the future.
    Do I miss iWeb? Yes, because I knew how to run it so well and easily, but for my level of web participation Muse is a good replacement.
    Hope this helps.

  • How does Remote work with Apple TV?

    How does Remote work with Apple TV?
    1. Does Remote, "Play" the music that resides on your iPod Touch>Apple TV>Home Speakers.
    OR
    Does Remote "Control" the music that resides on Apple TV HD>Home Speakers.
    (If so... say you have a iPod Touch that only holds 8GB's but your music collection on your Apple TV exceeds that amount.
    Will Remote still "Control" the larger music collection on Apple TV or your computer?)
    2. Will iPod Wifi work on a patio outside a home to control Apple TV inside the home?
    thank you in advance, Tom

    Remote is a way to control iTunes on either your computer or Apple TV using a WiFi connection. See this article for complete instructions.

  • How does one deal with transparency in a placed file in InDesign?

    I suppose this may seem elementary, but I'm relatively new to it so here goes:
    First off, my print shop says that placed images should be in EPS format. I'm creating my files in Illustrator and some of them use a gradient mask to fade an object away. When saved as an EPS, the gradient mask shows as a white box instead of fading into the background. When I copy/paste my Illustrator image into a new Photoshop file, save it as a PSD, bring that PSD into Illustrator and save it as an EPS, the whole file is in a white box.
    Example. I want those aisle markers to not be in white boxes.

    How does one deal with transparency in a placed image in InDesign?
    Thanks.

    If possible, one finds a new printer who can handle your files properly and doesn't insist on .eps.
    What format are you delivering to the Printer? If it's anything other than PDF (and that's at their request) all the more reason to reread the first sentence. Why on earth are you moving things from Illustrator to Photoshop and back to Illustrator? Either one of those will save as .eps (ugh), though you need to use a clipping path for transparent areas coming out of photoshop (don't really know how Illy handles it when you say to save .eps with transparent background), but you are FAR better off with either native .AI or .PSD, both of which support transparencey, unlike .eps.If yo are delivering PDF, as you should be, it makes no difference to the printer what format the placed content uses (and it shouldn't matter to him even with native files unless he's hopelessly stuck in the 90s).
    In any event, when importing from Illustrator, make sure to show the import options and check the transparent background box.

  • How does RFC adapter with EO/EOIO work? Kindly help!

    Hi Experts,
            How does a sender or receiver RFC adapter works when QOS is EO or EOIO (Async)? In other words, for EOIO, are the messages are queued? How does this queueing work? Does it use FIFO logic? where do we specify the max limit of messages that can be queued?
    Also what is the significance of 'Initial connection' and 'maximum connections' in communication channel? I have given the default value 1 for both. What should be the ideal value and why?
    In my Async RFC - XI scenario sometimes XI is able to receive the messages but sometimes it doesnot even though the sender system is UP and running.
    I cannot see any messages in SXMB_MONI even though the sender has sent the messade.
    Why RFC adapter is behaving like this? What could be the issue?
    Kindly help!

    EOIO: How does this queueing work? Does it use FIFO logic?
    >> yes it uses FIFO logic in EOIO.

  • How does Photos fit with iPhoto?

    How does Photos fit with iPhoto?

    iPhoto is no longer developed. At some point in the future (though not in the lifetime of Yosemite) an OS Update will come along that may disable it completely. How you choose to go forward is up to you. Some folks go all-in with the new app, some may hold back to see how it develops over time. But eventually, iPhoto will no longer work.

  • How does iPhoto compare to Picassa which I have used a long time?

    How does iPhoto compare?  And is it simple to bring all to iPhoto in the same organization?
    Thanks!

    Very vague question... in what way? You obviously know the strngths of Picasa. The feature list of  iPhoto is on the Apple Site.
    Best advice I can give is to make a library and import 100 pics and explore. See what you like - or don't. It'll help you to ask pointed questions that will get you better quality answers (that this one )
    As to migration... there is no path from Picasa and it will depend on what Picasa can export.

  • How does QoS work with WAAS WCCP? What's the interaction between QoS Traffic Classification and WAE Traffic Application Policy?

    How does QoS work with WAAS WCCP? What's the interaction between Router QoS Traffic Classification and WAE Traffic Application Policy?

    By default, WAAS preserves the DSCP marking on intercepted packets.  There is a configuration option to set/override the DSCP value at the global (device), application, and classifier levels.  Currently WAAS provides marking only.  There is no action taken by WAAS based on the DSCP value.
