How to create 5D Mark II proxies for rapid editing?

I've never done transcoding workflows, but I have the basic concepts down. I want to take the native h264 footage from the new 5D Mark II camera, transcode to low-res proxies in ProRes 422, but the file size is gigantic. I want a format that will work for doing low-res editing. So I'm not just looking for a setting that's low in resolution and file size, but that the Media Manager or Compressor can create rapidly. I then want to pull the proxies into FCP 6 to edit, but once I finish my final sequence, how do I relink to my original h264 files for high-quality output? Anyone have a suggested workflow? Do I use Compressor to create, then import into FCP? Or use Media Manager within FCP?
Any suggestions on workflow for these priorities would help.
Chris.

ProRes 422 is not a low res codec...not in the PROXIE sense. It is a finishing codec. Has all the quality of uncompressed HD, but the file size and data rate of uncompressed SD. So your files sizes will still be big. DVCPRO HD 720p is a decent codec. They use that as offline for features shot on high end HD...and the data rates are low if you use 720p 23.98. But the offline HD codec that is really low data rates...PROXIE SIZE...is offline RT HD.
Gotta do test encodes to see what the speeds are.

  • How to create backup file on itunes for ipod touch 4g game apps data? Is there a way to do it? I want to try an app on my friend's computer, but you can't add apps on another computer without having your own ipod's data being deleted. Thx for any help!

    How to create backup file on itunes for ipod touch 4g game apps data? Is there a way to do it? I want to try an app on my friend's computer, but you can't add apps on another computer without having your own ipod's data being deleted. Thx for any help!
    I want to know how to create a backup file (because I'm pretty new with itunes, and it's hard to use it for me still), how to store my app data/media/videos, etc. And how I can retrieve them back when I'm done with the app I tried on my friend's computer.
    If anyone can help, it'd be great! Thank you so much!

    Sure-glad to help you. You will not lose any data by changing synching to MacBook Pro from imac. You have set up Time Machine, right? that's how you'd do your backup, so I was told, and how I do my backup on my mac.  You should be able to set a password for it. Save it.  Your stuff should be saved there. So if you want to make your MacBook Pro your primary computer,  I suppose,  back up your stuff with Time machine, turn off Time machine on the iMac, turn it on on the new MacBook Pro, select the hard drive in your Time Capsule, enter your password, and do a backup from there. It might work, and it might take a while, but it should go. As for clogging the hard drive, I can't say. Depends how much stuff you have, and the hard drive's capacity.  As for moving syncing from your iMac to your macbook pro, should be the same. Your phone uses iTunes to sync and so that data should be in the cloud. You can move your iTunes Library to your new Macbook pro
    you should be able to sync your phone on your new MacBook Pro. Don't know if you can move the older backups yet-maybe try someone else, anyways,
    This handy article from Apple explains how
    How to move your iTunes library to a new computer - Apple Support''
    don't forget to de-authorize your iMac if you don't want to play purchased stuff there
    and re-authorize your new macBook Pro
    time machine is an application, and should be found in the Applications folder. it is built in to OS X, so there is nothing else to buy. double click on it, get it going, choose the Hard drive in your Time capsule/Airport as your backup Time Machine  and go for it.  You should see a circle with an arrow on the top right hand of your screen (the Desktop), next to the bluetooth icon, and just after the wifi and eject key (looks sorta like a clock face). This will do automatic backups  of your stuff.

  • How to create a New Tranport Request for changed  Extract structure

    How to create a New Tranport Request for changed  Extract structure ?
    Hi Experts,
    I have a FI AP Generic Datasource containing extract structure with appended fields.
    It has already been activated and transported to Testing System.
    Now, I am to create a new transport request for this DataSource and Extract structure.
    I do not want to delete and recreate the Generic Datasource.
    I am trying to look at the options in the extract structure top menu from where I can create a new Tranport Request.
    Please let me know the steps
    URGENT

    Hi Dev,
    Once you send the transport request for any data source from Dev to Testing you wont find that again in your Dev (I mean the TR). So, when you change anything for this data source or view now in Dev and try to save it, it will ask for a new transport request and here you can mention a new one starting from View then activate it and go to RSO2 regenerate it and use the same transport request for this too. When you transport this TR to Testing Environment the data source will automatically get changed.
    Hope it helps...

  • How to create the change document functionality for a dependent objects?

    May I please know how to create the change document functionality for a dependent objects?
    I have done it follow the same process as for business process objects. But when i try to test it in BOBT, there is no records under "FIELD_CHANGE_WITH_FILTER". It seems the change hasn't been recorded.
    If the way I did to create change document for dependent object is correct, please also kindly advise the possibilities for why there is no record during testing.
    thanks in advance.

    I also have some doubts about the business object.In this case,one abstract BO hase a subnode wihich is root extended.I added the change document for this node under the category "root_extended" and then tested the function in BOBT.I got some error message "can't find the root key".Shall i redefine the method /BOFU/IF_CDO_CREATION~IS_CDO_CREATION_ACTIVE so as to solve the problem?
    Thx.

  • How to create an user input variable for customer exit variable? - BW3.5

    Hi Guru,
    I have a requirement for the selection period of my reports. There are 3 possible reporting periods which should be user selectable:
    1. Month: Current reporting month
    2. Fiscal Year to Date
    3. Project Year to Date
    Here I need 2 variable to do these, 1 customer exit and 1 user input variable. I have created a variable customer exit to calculate all these requirement. But can any1 tell on how to create the user input variable for my customer exit? I need a user input variable with drop down list like below.
    01-Current month
    02- Fiscal Year to Date
    03-Project Year to Date
    I have create a new master data for this variable, but it's not working. What I need now is a standalone master data which do not need to link to any exiting records. Can any1 tell me how to create this?

    Just go to the definition of the variable for which you have created a customer exit. There you will find a check box for "Ready for Input". Just tick that checkbox and the variable will be available as a selection variable in the reports selection screen.

    Yogesh

  • How to create a Unique Member List for PlugAccounts ?

    Hello everybody,
    Does anyone knows or did it in the past how to create a Unique Member List for Plug Accts? If anyone does could you please paste some scripting for reference?
    Thank you very much, JB

                             Dim arrPlugs(100)
                             j = 1     
                                       Plug_Acct_List = HS.Account.List("","")
                                       For Plug_Acct_loop = LBound(Plug_Acct_List) To UBound(Plug_Acct_List)
                                  If Hs.Account.PlugAcct(Plug_Acct_List(Plug_Acct_Loop)) &lt;&gt; "" then
                                       strPlug = Hs.Account.PlugAcct(Plug_Acct_List(Plug_Acct_Loop))
                                       blnFound = False
                                       For i = LBound(arrPlugs) to UBound(arrPlugs)
                                            If arrPlugs(i) = strPlug then blnFound = True
                                       Next
                                       If blnFound = False then
                                            HS.AddMemberToList strPlug
                                            arrPlugs(j) = strPlug
                                            j = j + 1
                                       End If
                                  End If
                             Next

    How to creat an app-enabled accessories for iPhone? Please help me to get an answer..

    To get hardware interfaces and API's via hardware you
    need to join the MFi program.  That info is here:
    https://developer.apple.com/programs/mfi/
    To get the additional software to be able to download
    and test code on any iDevice, you must join the
    iOS Developer Program.  That info is here:
    https://developer.apple.com/programs/ios/
    Both programs require fees and NDA agreements,
    especially hardware as most vendors that supply
    components development tools will not sell you any
    of their tools unless you are a member of the MFi
    program.

  • How to create tick marks within an arched area

    I need to recreate this dial and I've learned how to create evenly spaced tick marks within a circle, but this is an ellipse.  Here, I attempted to draw two ellipse then used the scissors to cut them to size.  Then I used the line tool and drew each of the tick marks.  Then I adjusted the weights of each tick.  This is not a good method because the end ticks are not meeting the ends of the ellipse perfectly, leaving a tiny bit of tick mark outside the ellipse.  There must be a better way to do this. Here is what I ended up with:
    But this is what I need to create:
    (I only need to create the arched part with tick marks of this dial)
    Any help is appreciated, but please note that I am familiar with only the very basics of illustrator, I simply don't do this type of work often enough to completely understand the software.
    Thanks!!!!

    Jber,
    And this is an attempt to give a (hopefully sufficiently) more complete description of the ellipse way, as an amendment of post #4 (overdoing silly things like this makes it difficult to remember to mention all the crucial steps that seem to hide somewhere in the fingers):
    One way that results in constant thickness tick marks might be to (using Stroke>Round Cap/Join or Stroke>Projecting Cap/Miter Join or Stroke>Butt Cap and Miter Join depending on the desired end shape and length, see below, with the layer expanded in the Layers palette, and Smart Guides are your friends, telling you when you when you are in the right spots):
    If you wish to have the tick marks follow an ellipse and at the same time have constant widths (two different widths), you may (see below):
    0) Lock the image of the dial (shown as a grey area below), you may place it at X = 0 to facilitate symmetric building;
    1) Create the thickest tick mark and move a copy to the right, then create a one step blend (Object>Blend Options>Specified Steps = 1, then Object>Blend>Make);
    2) Create the thinnest tick mark and move a copy to the right, then create a five steps blend (Object>Blend Options>Specified Steps = 5, then Object>Blend>Make);
    3) Either of two ways (in both cases make sure to make it as symmetrical as possible):
    3a) Create the midway ellipse, adjusting the top of it to be midway between the two arcs (this is the first way I thought of and the way shown below), or
    3b) Create two ellipses corresponding to the two arcs, then create a one step blend and Object>Blend>Expand to get the midway ellipse and delete the other two;
    4) Drag horizontally with the Line Tool (hold Shift) to make a path between the two spots where the midway ellipse crosses the ends of the dial image (Smarts Guides say intersect), or just create a horizontal path and place it so it crosses the ellipse in the right spots (you can see the symmetry here);
    5) With the horizontal path still selected Object>Path>Divide Objects Below;
    6) Delete the lower superfluous part of the ellipse, then with the Direct Seletion Tool click the horizontal segment and delete it (only click delete once);
    7) Select the remaining midway ellipse part and Object>Path>Offset Path, using half the height of the dial image (at the middle), you may retry until you have it right, this will recreate the top and bottom of the dial and also make ends;
    8) Select the midway ellipse part and Object>Path>Add Anchor Points a few times (see below), and copy the midway ellipse, now you have two on top of each other, one for each of the blends;
    9) Select one of the midway ellipses along with the thin blend from 2) (hold Shift to have them both selected) and Object>Blend>Replace Spine, this will make that ellipse part disappear;
    10) Select the other midway ellipse and the thick blend from 1) (hold Shift to have them both selected) and Object>Blend>Replace Spine;
    11) Hide/Delete the image dial.
    Now you should have the whole dial with both sets of tick marks on top  of the elliptic arch set. In 9) and 10) you may select on the Artboard or through the Layers palette (you can see what you are selecting in both places), and the order (and stacking order) in 1)/2) and 9)/10) can be changed.
    If you wish to move/extend the thick tick marks upwards or both up and down, you may:
    12) Select the thick ticks blend and Object>Blend>Expand, and then Select each of the thick tick marks and tick the appropriate Reference Point in the Transform palette (if you want to extend upwards use the bottom ones (Right for left, Center for centre, Left for right), if you want to extend both up and down use the Center one), then multiply the H value by the desired amount and click Ctrl/Cmd+Enter to make them a bit longer up/outwardly.
    The Object>Path>Add Anchor Points in 8) is to get a even distribution of the thin tick mark blend (not necessary for the thick tick marks blend because it only has one step).
