I don't know the answer. I am just trying to understand.
I just tried to suggest that there is much, much, much more to organize than just doing 'folders'.
A year of my soccer recordings is about ~2TB either (but in diff. Events, I have to confess), no prob for FCPX - and for my no-budget hardware!
.... I got 'sensitized' when PC-friends proudly showed me there music-Libraries .... all handcrafted, matryoshka-esk folders-in-folders-in ... demoing how simple iTunes creates specific playlists by using tags&keywords made them speechless ..
smart tagging alllows to find a specific sentence, a specific 'face', a specific stunt with a single click. And you're not limited in FCPX by a few tech. data (timestamp for example), but it starts with simple 'favorite-ising' and 'find people' (which, partly, works incredible precise!), and ends with your dozen, very own criteria, you can combine and mix as you like. And need.-
... and due to its data-base character of FCPX, size of media shouldn't matter ... imho.

  • How to organize 100+ sample applications in FB

    I am building up a library of simple (about 50-100 lines

    Currently I have about 50 in one project and this causes the
    "building workspace" process to be very slow, and often crashes FB

    How would you organize this under FB? I may have hundreds

    Are there any FB settings that would help?

  • How to organize apps into folders and make them stick in iphone 3gs?

    Four hours down the drain! Darn, I decided to finally learn how to organize my apps into folders and do it right. Instead I spent four hours and must have got it wrong.
    I opened iTunes on my MacBook with my iPhone attached. Then clicked on the iPhone in the left side list of my iTunes. Then clicked on apps which brought up a nice page with all my iPhone apps listed in one window on the left and all the pages of the apps that are on my iPhone in the window on the right. So far this is what I think the User Manual and Help said to do.
    At that point I created new folders by dragging one app over another. For example, I would find a photography app and drag it onto another photography app. That automatically created a folder with the name photography. Just what I wanted. I then looked for more photography apps and dragged them to the folder.
    This is not too easy because I had eight pages of apps. At first, I would grab an app on a page and drag it to where I knew the corresponding folder would be and put it into the folder.
    Later I found another way was to use the list of my apps on the right to put them in apps.
    In the end, from what appeared on the screen, it seemed to me that most of my apps were in folders and the folders were either on page one, two, or three. At that point I thought that I should sync the MacBook with the iPhone, I believe, and did so.
    When the sync was finished I took the iPhone off the computer and looked at it. NONE of the folders I created, nor the organization into folders of the apps were on my iPhone!
    Obviously, I did something wrong since the same mess was on the iPhone as before, with apps all over the place and impossible to locate without taking too much time. This after four hours of work looking at a 13 in. laptop screen!
    What I hope is that someone smarter than me will look at what I did and tell me where I went wrong.
    I want the apps on the iPhone to be organized into logical folders so it is easier to find them. Something along the lines of a good database, you know?
    Thank you for reading to the end of this question,

    OK, I spent another afternoon doing the job started yesterday. Last night (could not sleep, so might as well think) I got to thinking that I really must have missed a step or something because all my work was done on the Mac and I did not recall any time when I transferred the new setup with folders to the iPhone.
    Sure enough, when I tried it today I did find that missing step. When looking at the Home Page of the iPhone or any page being worked on, in the lower right hand corner two buttons say
    SYNC APPLY
    I do not recall using the APPLY button on the first day trying this, but I used it this time.
    After making changes, I hit APPLY and the computer began to sync with the iPhone.
    This time, although there is nothing telling the user what is going on, the sync actually makes the iPhone pages to look exactly like the pages created on the Mac.
    Too bad the instructions and help did not say to do things in this way, which is the only correct way, as far as I can tell.
    I have about 155 apps on the iPhone, making the job extra lengthy. However, I never could do it on the iPhone’s tiny screen, even though it is possible, so this was good - working on the larger screen of the MacBook.
    There are also some (undocumented?) tricks in using the MacBook for this task. For example, it is possible to create a folder and then, using the list of all apps on the iPhone that is on the left side of screen, open the folder, click on the check box next to any app you want to put in the folder and it will jump right in!
    If the check box already has a check mark, just click the box to remove it, click again to put the check mark in the box and voila the app takes off for the folder. This also works to just put apps onto a certain page, if you want to do that, but dragging apps around sometimes works better.
    I hope it will not be necessary to do this again because of the time involved, and he need for quite a bit of thinking on how to move the apps and folders around to get everything just where you want it on the iPhone. The work reminded me of an old kids game that has a small square case with, I guess eleven movable numbers, that are all mixed up, and one space that is not filled with a number. You can move the little squares with the numbers around inside the case to try to line the numbers up in order from 1-11 and do it faster than anybody else.
    Well, unfortunately lining up all my apps was like that because each page of the iPhone only holds 16 folders or apps and each folder is limited to 12 apps. Starting with 155 apps it takes too much mouse maneuvering to make the process easy.
    Finally, the automatic folder names are very broad, as in MUSIC, LIFESTYLE, SPORTS and such, so I often just deleted the given categories and put my in my own. Also, some day I may break down the folders more because twelve apps in one folder means the apps are still pretty much out of view.
    I wrote this in case anyone else finds it and has the same irksome product. If I just reinvented the wheel, please do not tell me now.

  • How to organize 250hrs of footage?

    Dear FCPX users,
    at this moment I'm capturing hundreds of hours of my VHS-archives. All of those contain registrations of live performances and I want to save and edit the best parts. The biggest challenge will be how to organize in such way, that I'll be able to group similar subjects and themes. Each VHS-tape is between 1 and 4 hours long. When I'm done capturing the tapes, there will be approx 75 videos with a total duration of 250 hours.
    I am aware that an event of 250 hours isn't anything new, but the peculiarity is the duration of each file, which makes it a chore to look at in the event window.
    What I would like to to is go through each video in a timeline, cut and delete the bad parts, tag the good stuff. In the event the keywords should appear and when selected, only the parts tagged with that keyword should appear, NOT the full video of which some part or parts are tagged with that keyword. How can that be achieved?
    In the end I'd love to trim the project (like in Premiere) only to keep the good parts, which will be 10% or probably less.
    Thanks in advance for any help.

    …And what am I doing wrong if I see the full video (tiny selections within those 4 hours) instead of the selections only?…
    then, you do look at the Event, not at the keyword-collection..
    Lessson #5 Lessons for FCPX
    You should really get familiar with the awesome organizing tools of FCPX before launching such a large project.
    Another excellent advice can be found here
    http://www.fcp.co/final-cut-pro/tutorials/1436-log-like-a-ninja-in-final-cut-pro -x-with-michael-garber
    Title is a bit funny … but working with tags, keywords and smart-collections is real fun!!
    is it possible to cut in the timeline, tag the remaining parts of the clip and see those tags in the event?
    any used parts are tagged automatically as <cough> used, which for sure you can set as (part of) a filter for some smart-collection.
    But the recommended workflow is, to tag first in the Events-browser, and switch then to your Project.
    Tagging is done much faster, more flexible and detailed, just 'better' in a step before editing.

  • ProRes - how many Gigabytes per hour?

    I'm wanting to use ProRes for a project. I'm not sure I'm understanding the articles written about it - which state it has less of a storage footprint than SD? I'm trying to calculate how much storage space I'll need for a project that may have more than 100 hours of material ... if I convert everything to ProRes?
    All ears,
    Ben

    Got my very own Aja calculator. Thank you. To know what the ProRes will require do I set the calculator to NTSC 8 bit (the only SD format I can see in the choices)?
    Then you don't have the latest one. The latest one lists PRORES as an option.
    the idea of capturing 5-10 hours (in ProRes)
    Can't do that with DV and VHS without a capture device. And HDV as ProRes requires special steps.
    then 'rendering' out (in ProRes) only the selects to create a new 'media' folder for all the material we might actually USE in the edit... am I being naive?
    You are being naive. Sorry...you are throwing around concepts and ideas with no real understanding of them, nor ability to follow them thru. NO capture card...no ProRes. HDV as ProRes, yes, but that's it. BetaSP requires a capture card too.
    You need to figure out a LOT of things here...especially if you will be working with HD and SD sources. A lot of ducks to get in a row. And you will need to start investing in more hardware if you want to get serious about this. Or you can capture as DV and use Compressor to upconvert later...and spend weeks doing it.
    There is WAY too much to go into on a forum post...

  • How to organize iTunes playlist--specific question

    Hello,
    Can someone please tell me how to organize my iTunes library so that it displays in the following order:
    1) Alphabetically
    2) Numbers (Songs that begin with a number, such as 24 Hours To Go)
    3) Punctuation (Songs that begin with a punctuation sign, such as, "Miles and Miles")
    My iTunes has always been organized this way, but somehow it recently switched so that it is reversed (Punctuation first, numbers second, and alphabetical last). There must be a preference or something to make it switch around, but I've looked everywhere and can't figure it out.
    Thanks!!

    Hi--
    I think I'm not describing the problem correctly. If I do as you suggested, then the order just "flips" to the other way around. What I'm looking to achieve is this following order:
    1) Alphabetical
    2) Punctuation
    3) Numbers
    Numberical-named songs (such as 24 Hours to Go) always used to be at the bottom of my list. It was always alphabetic first, then punctuation, then numbers at the end. But I can't get it to set up like that any more---the "numbers" songs always end up in the middle between alphabetical and punctuation---no matter which way I flip it. How do I get it at the bottom?

  • How to organize the import statements in FXML Files?

    Hello,
    I'm a user of NetBeans IDE and it can organize the import statements in *.java files. Now, I'm using JavaFX and editing the *.fxml files as well. I want to know how to organize the import statements in *.fxml files?
    Thanks a lot.

    You should use Scene Builder, it will make all these import statements for you.
    Moreover, it will greatly simplify the writing of your FXML files, since you only have to Drag&Drop JavaFX objects on the scene. Then, it automatically generates FXML files.

  • Mine, her's & ours – how to organize photos in a multi-Mac family?

    Hi folks,
    from a quick search at Apple discussions I realize that my following problem is a very common, but essentially an unsolved one. So rather than a final solution, I'm looking for ideas and discussion on how to organize photos in a family setting…
    The problem started when my wife got her own MacBook a few weeks ago, and when we started having two iPhoto libraries instead of one. We do have some photos that can be definitely labeled as 'mine' or 'hers'. But how should we organize family photos? What if one of us wanted to just grab their MacBook and show off the kids' pictures to a friend?
    Duplicating photos involves a lot of manual extra work, and labels and keywords will inevitably run out of sync. If we keep photos on a network drive we can't just take them away from home. It seems like the problem is not just related to iPhoto, but to digital photography in general. Or is there another photo organizer – Aperture? Lightroom? Whatever else? – that serves families well?
    If you've faced this problem, I'd like to hear how you approached it.
    cheers
    Hendrik

    You could put an external HD connected to the TC. Then each time one of you take new photos upload them to a folder on your Desktop. Name the folder with the date of the shoot (this assumes that each of your delete the memory card in the camera after each shoot and upload) and a brief description like: 01/16/10-Aidan's 4th Bday Party. You can also rename the photos in the folder. I use the international date and a brief description: 2010-01-16-Aidans 4th-001.JPG, -002.JPG, etc. You an use a file renaming application likeRenamer4Mac orName Mangler to do the job.
    Next import the folder into your iPhoto. This will create an Event with the same name as the folder. Then drag the folder to the hard drive on the Time Capsule. Then each of you can view the folders on the external HD and import those folders which you don't have - or not.
    This will also act as a backup of the original files. I'm not sure what format the external HD needs to be to work in this manner but it shouldn't matter as long as you're only storing files. You can't run a iPhoto library from it if it isn't formatted OS X Extended (journaled). Also running a library wirelessly is fraught with problems like dropouts which can damage the database file.
    That way you will have 3 backup copies of your photos - actually 2 as the two libraries on the TC really only count as one since they are on the same drive.

  • How do I calculate hours in Numbers?

    How do I calculate hours in Numbers? Example: I inserts 7:00 in a cell and 11:30 in another cell. What function do I write to get 4:30?

    Hi Interlaga,
    Enter start time in A2. Enter finish time in B2. They will become Cell > Data Format > Automatic with Date and Time (Date None).
    Formula in C2
    =B2−A2
    That becomes Cell > Data Format  >Automatic
    Refinement is to use 'Date and Time' Format for start and finish, and 'Duration' format for the difference.
    Remember that in Numbers, every Date has a Time attached, and every Time has a Date attached (even if they are not displayed in the cell). So if you enter the times on different days (the 'crossing midnight' problem) the finish time will be 24 hours later .
    It took me a while to understand this, but a Time or a Date is an instant since 1 January 1904.
    Call back for more help.
    Regards,
    Ian.

  • How to upload 100 Mb+ video on Azure storage using PHP

    Dear Sirs,

    Can somebody please instruct me how to upload 100 Mb+ file size into Azure storage using PHP code?
    In advance thanks for your help.
    Best regards,
    Luiz Doi

    Hi Manu, Im having the same problem as Luiz, getting the same type of errors. I'm not a dev so I thought I ask for more details to clear things out.
    I have a Joomla site that was configured in though Azure hosting but I can't upload anything into Joomla less than 8MB. So basically having Azure storage blobs and media services for Joomla is useless if I can't use the larger files into the site or out
    of the site into Azure storage/Media services acct.   
    I even manually changed the upload_max_filesize and post_max_size parameters on the admin and then directly on the site code and even added a php.ini file on the root to override all as I read
    here but still nothing worked. 
    Therefore the code you posted above seems the solution but just wanted to be sure if it will solve my issue.
    1. I need my Azure hosted site to allow larger files up to 500MB.
    2. I need the files people upload on my site front end through a form see
    here to be sent to my Azure blob. What code do I need to paste on the Joomla's forms admn. So basically files first go into site and then to storage.
    3. After I upload the Php SDk and then the Http_Request2 PEAR
    and paste your code in the SDK how does the code recognize my Azure site and my azure blob/containers? Where in the code do I plug in my info?
    Kindly advise.

  • How to organize Mail folders?

    Hello,
    I am having a heck of a time trying to figure out how to do something in Mac Mail (I'm on Mountain Lion with a MacBook Pro with Retina Display).
    In the past (pre-Mountain Lion), I had individual folders for each of my mail accounts. For example, I had a folder for Comcast mail, Gmail, Hotmail, iCloud, and Yahoo. In the left-hand column of the main Mail window, it was nicely organized so that there was the "main" folder for a particular email service, and then underneath that folder there would be other folders such as Sent, Trash, etc.
    However, the way it appears now is that there is one single "Inbox", and underneath that Inbox are MORE Inboxes, with each one being a different mail service. For example, under my Inbox, the next thing down is "POP Account", then "GMail", then iCloud". But they ALL fall under the main heading of "Inbox".
    I really don't care for it to be set up this way. I much prefer having a dedicated Inbox for each mail service, and then the various folders that relate only to that service underneath.
    I hope I'm describing this correctly. For years, it was set up the way that I liked it. I'm not sure when it self-changed to the way it is now, but I really don't care for it. I've gone through all of the menus and I can not figure out how to get it back to the way it was.
    Any assistance would be greatly appreciated. Thank you!

    The “On My Mac” folder has never existed as such, neither in Mail 1.x nor in Mail 2.x. Mail uses that term to differentiate custom mailboxes stored locally on your computer from mailboxes stored on the server of IMAP accounts.
    In Mail 1.x such mailboxes appeared in the mailbox list grouped under an “On My Mac” icon, whether that’s how you wanted them to appear or not. In Mail 2.x, this changed to offer greater flexibility in how the user wants his/her custom mailboxes to be organized — see Mail Help’s “My mailbox organization was lost after upgrading Mac OS X” article. This allows the user to have multiple top-level “On My Mac” hierarchies, or name the group differently, or have custom mailboxes appear directly at the top level of the mailbox list for greater convenience, etc.
    To answer your question, no, you aren’t stuck with how Mail organizes custom mailboxes, but as you have found out, Mail has some bugs & glitches when it comes to reorganizing mailboxes, and you should make a back up of at least your ~/Library/Mail/ folder before start making changes, just in case.
    I sometimes reorganize my own custom mailboxes by renaming and/or moving them, and have never experienced any issues myself, so you should certainly be able to do things like that. There are only two things I recommend not doing in Mail when reorganizing mailboxes:
    1. Even though Mail allows it, don’t use a folder as both a mailbox (i.e. to store messages of its own) and as a parent folder for other folders.
    2. Never, ever, rename a folder just to change its capitalization. If you want to change from uppercase to lowercase or vice versa, rename the folder to something different first.
    A more thorough discussion of these issues, for those who might be interested, can be found in the following thread, for example:

  • How to organize documents in KM?

    Hi all,
    Can somebody comment on as how to organize the documents in KM.Is there any standard guideline to follow while creating folders and sub folders in KM so that while viewing a user will get a classified structure of documents which he/she can browse easily.
    thanx and regards,
    anuradha

    HI
    Repositories in KM can be organized on the basis of functional requirements and actually real time way of keeping the doccuments in folders structure  there is no such hard and fast rule .to make  user view a classified doccuments you can use KM Navigation Iview as well KM Doccument iviews for specific doccuments. Each KM Iview available in PCD has a specific purpose  which need to be studied throughly before implementing and when you create one it specifically states you the purpose of the iview and always remember the path property in any KM iview is important for doccuments to be displayed and navigated in the repository.
    Hope this helps u

  • How to Organize the Website With Different Themes?

    This is a question about HOW TO ORGANIZE MY WEBSITE. This requires understanding of what PAGES means and what SITES means, and I am not too sure.
    Please clarify for me what iWeb means by a website. Specifically, I want to make a website which has several different mutually exclusive themes but which are all accessible from each page:
    Some pages dedicated to my husband, who passed away in 2000.
    Some pages for individual friends.
    Some pages for a group of about 10 people. I want a page for each person in the group.
    Would those all be considered a different website? A different site? Or are they all in ONE website with my one URL, but just all interconnected?
    — Lorna in Southern California

    Lorna,
    James' link didn't work because it is just an example
    Your URL will depend on where you upload your
    site.
    It sounds to me like you really want three separate
    sites. Why not do this - create FOUR sites. Make the
    TOP site just one page, and make text links to each
    of the top pages of the three other sites on that
    page. You could even add photos or graphics to
    represent each site and link to them.
    Here's an example: http://web.mac.com/varkgirl is my
    main .mac url and I have made my "top" site an index
    site with links to all other sites I have made.
    If you do this, visitors to yourdomain.com will reach
    this "table of contents" page which can take them to
    yourdomain.com/family or yourdomain.com/hobbies, etc
    etc. The your three separate sites can include all of
    their pages in the nav bar so when someone visits
    Site A or Site B they will see the links available to
    them.
    PS - it might be a good idea to put a text link or
    something at the bottom of each page in all sites to
    send visitors back to the main page (index page).
    Something like, "Click here to go back to Lorna's
    main page"
    Well, now this certainly would be another way of doing it! So my main URL would be the first Welcome — Table of Contents page, probably configured with photos and a phrase underneath? And then a viewer clicks onto Picture 1
    and gets transported to the top page of whatever that Picture 1 represents? And on that page 1, there are other sub-pages to click onto? So, Picture 1 might be "Hey, lookit the swim team!", and when people click onto that picture, a page comes up with about 5 hot links that take the viewer further down the road to (1) A group picture of the team with short bios under each photo, and then (2) a news report of the last swim meet that they won in Orlando, Florida, and then (3) an interview of the swim coach?
    Is that what you mean? Am I on the right track and reading you correctly?
    And at the bottom of each page (or somewhere noticeable), I woud put a "Go back to the Home Page" button?
    And within the swim team pages, at the top of the page there is a navigation bar that shows all the other pages in that site???
    Now, James suggested something different. (James Tseng) James said to make only ONE Mother Site and make separate Child Pages all equally sheltered under the Mother Site, but not all necessarily having links to all the other pages in the site.
    This is actually a good situation for me: to have two seemingly equally viable, legitimate, workable solutions to the issue of organizing my themes and pages within the website. Thank you. Hope the weather in Florida stays Flat Water.
