How many Encodes before you have a Top Quality DVD with FCS2?

Hello
I am wanting to buy Final Cut Pro Studio as I am having problems creating good quality DVDs with FCE4 and iDVD. I was wondering how many encodes does it take to create a top quality DVD with FCS2?

Do you mean you are expecting the software to solve problems for you? It doesn't; only adds problems by forcing you to make many more decisions yourself. FCE-to-iDVD is actually a very fine production flow.
FCS and DVDSP give you far more options: many more ways to accomplish tasks and to exert subjective control over your images, sound, and video. All of those option require elevated patience, understanding, comprehension.

    how many playlists can you have or create

    There is no documented limit. 
    Note that Smart Playlists with Live Updating use extra processing, so if you have more than a few dozen of them you may notice a slowdown.
    Some people think they should create a playlist for each album.  If by any chance that is the reason you are asking the question, you will find it is much easier to get to an album via the column browser.

    Yes, I believe they do.  The places data is associated with GPS coordinates tagged on each photo.  I think the faces data works the same way -- it is associated with each photo regardless of what album it is in.

  • How many tasks can you have in a plan?

    How many tasks can you have in a plan?
    What is the maximum number of tasks I can reasonably expect to have in a newScale service (version 2007)? 
    I have approximately 30 tasks in my service.  When the authorizations are complete, and the tasks are initially scheduled, my server response time (between clicking Approve and seeing the next screen) is about 30 seconds. 
    Does this sound unusual?  Am I trying to do too much with my service?
    Thanks!

    Hi Joe,
    There is no "upper limit" on the number of tasks that you can have in a plan. Having said that, the complexity of a plan -- including conditions and the use of external tasks -- can certainly be a factor in response times.
    Having said this, 30 seconds seems like a long time and I strongly suggest that you open a case with customer care on this item.

  • How many devices can you have on 1 icloud account

    how many devices can you have on 1 icloud accout?

    It's unusual for a whole family to use the same icloud account, since that way everyone gets the same emails, contacts, calenders, etc.  All it takes is one family member to delete a contact by mistake and then it will be deleted from everyone's devices.  Not good.  The usual advice is for every individual to have their own icloud account.
    The iTunes store is another issue - everyone can use the same Apple ID to access the same itunes account to download music, apps, etc. without everyone having to buy the items multiple times.

  • How many times do you have to pay for Creative Cloud complete plan prepaid if it says an amount of money per year? do you have to pay that every year?

    how many times do you have to pay for a Creative Cloud complete plan prepaid if it says an amount of money per year? do you have to pay that every year?

    Perhaps the unclear part here is that the Cloud is a subscription offering. You never pay for it outright and never actually own it.
    12 months pre-paid simply means paying the full 12 months subscription upfront. The following year, you do the same. And the same every year after that.
    Like any subscription, if you want to keep using the software, you keep paying the monthly (or annual) fee every month (or year), year in, year out.
    When you cancel your subscription, or it expires and you don't renew, then the software stops working.

  • How many albums do you have?

    How many albums do you have? How much variation do you have between albums?
    I have so many pictures I'm having a hard time deciding on how to setup albums.

    John,
    I don't have a lot of albums. There's no one-to-one correspondence between photos and albums, so I choose not to use them as my main organizational scheme. I prefer working in Library view, where I do get each photo once and only once. (I use V6 Film Rolls, which is the same as Events in '08.) When importing photos, I place them in my most recent, current roll (event) or begin a new one. Then I keyword all of the new photos, and they're good to go. Working chronologically makes sense to me, and I pretty much remember where my photos are. In addition, I can find any photo or group of photos in my library by filtering by keywords and date.
    I use albums for special collections and projects. I have some smart albums for the best photos of my kids' birthdays. I gather photos into albums to prepare for printing. I also create albums for the purpose of adding slideshows to my home movies in iDVD, and to use as title frames in iMovie.
    That's just my system; it works for me. iPhoto is so flexible and powerful that in time you'll find one that works for you.
    Regards.

  • How do you tell how many Safari's you have open?

    I am new MacBook user and am haven't figured out how to tell how many Safari windows I have open or how to quickly navigate between them. When using XP I would just click on the IE I want from the taskbar, or if they are grouped select the one I want from within in the group.
    For Safari it appears I can either click on Windows -> select from the bottom of the list, or click and hold the Safari icon and wait until a list appears and then select from that list. Both of these options seem slow and laborious for a keyboarder.
    - Is there a way to make the individual Safari's show up when I do a Command -> Tab?
    - Or is there some functionality I am just unaware of to flip between Safari windows?

    Hi
    Welcome to Apple Discussions and Mac Computing
    I am new MacBook user and am haven't figured out how to tell how many Safari windows I have open or how to quickly navigate between them.
    The best way to navigate with Safari is to activate Tabs via the Safari Menu (at the top of the screen, to the right of the Apple Menu)>Preferences. In the Preference panel, click on Tabs and check the 3 boxes.
    Using your "hot keys" Command/T keys will create a new tab.
    In the browser window, various Tabs that are opened will appear below the Tool Bar (where the web site address is displayed). Clicking on a tab takes you from one site to the next (similar to what you see in Internet Explorer (where the Tabs are along the bottom of the screen).
    If you install 3rd party add-on Glims, you'll add a number of very useful features to Safari, including more options with the Tabs. Once installed, you'll find the Glims options as a separate panel in Safari Preferences panel.

  • How many FLVs before you get problems?

    I have built a small project in Captivate 4 (30 screens with 15 FLV files ranging in duration from 30 - 60 ; FLV sizes are between 3 and 6 mb).  I am encountering the following issue:
    Course plays fine when FLVs are unsynched
    FLVs "stutter" randomly when synched to project
    The video was shot at 29.97 FPS but I have re-exported it at 30 FPS.  I also set preload to 100% and strangely this reduced the severity of the issue but did not fix it (I say strange as the FLVs should not be affected by the pre-loader)
    Has anyone else experienced this issue?  My questions are:
    How can I synch FLVs without stutter during playback
    Is there a limt on the number of FLVs that can be included in an individual project?
    Is there a limit on the total duration of FLV footage that can be included in a project?
    Much zen and good wishes to all who reply (and potential consulting gigs!!!)
    Cheers
    Mark

    How many times do you get a new iPhone because of manufacturing  defects, before you can ask for an newer model?
    You don't.  Apple's warranty provides for replacing your device with an identical model (same model, carrier, capacity & color).
    And you aren't getting a new iPhone.  You'll be getting a remanufactured iPhone, which has gone through a more thorough inspection than any new iPhone ever does.
    If you want a newer model, then trade-in or privately sell your current device and use the proceeds towards purchasing another device.

  • Question: How many photos can you have per album?

    I am a new ipad user and I am curious as to how many photos I can have per album? Thanks in advance.

    We'll have a look at three different issues.
    - If you want to carry over your tags structure from one catalog to a new one created for the new year, use the small dropdown menu in the title bar of the keywords panel. There is an option to copy the tags and categories structure to a text file. There is another option you'll use when you have created the new empty catalog: it will recreate the same structure of categories and keywords.
    - The catalog is hidden by default. I don't know if you can make that folder visible in the Mac, but you can move or copy it to another visible location in your file structure from the finder.  The catalog copy will be found in 'custom' location from the catalog manager. Alternatively, you can shut the Organizer and double click on the catalog.pse10db file to open the organizer with the catalog copy.
    - I have already reported the bug about not being able to delete a big number of files at the same time. It's sort of acknowledged, but without any clear hope of solution. When I upgraded to PSE13 in Windows, I could see that there was an improvement due to the fact that it is now a 64 bits application which can use all of my 8 GB RAM. The problem is that the process uses all the available RAM progressively, and aborts when there is no more. So, we should avoid workflows implying mass deletions.

  • Install Log - how many errors did you have?

    After 30 minutes of the machine saying it would be done in "about a minute" I decided there must be something wrong, so I looked at the Install Log, to make sure things were still happening.
    Surprise! over 1500 Errors logged! Is that normal? I've never looked at the Install Log for an OS install, so I'm not sure how many are typical. How many errors did you guys have?
    Note: I performed an "Install & Archive"

    Install the admin software on the laptop. 
    Client software is built into the OS, so just enable it on the Desktop in System Prefs -> Sharing -> Remote Management
