IMovie User needs help moving up...

Ive been editing for a while in iMovieHD, but also have FCHD, and would really appreciate a little help in translating my iMovie editing process to FC.
Im editing single-camera shoots of 1-take process demos, so the most typical thing I do, after extracting the audio, is to slice up longish single clips to whittle them down to the essentials, deleting the pauses, errors and redundant footage, as opposed to dragging together lots of separate clips after adjusting I/O points. I do the same thing with the associated audio of course, but the edits are almost never in the same place, and it still needs to be synced to the video action that does make the cut. So I do a lot of relinking of audio to later clips before I delete earlier footage. I also do a lot of pasting over at playhead with stills, both from the video footage and from Photoshop, to go with audio that doesnt have appropriate video, or to stop motion so that details can be seen better.
So, Im having a hard time seeing the FC way to do what Im already doing pretty efficiently, but often not precisely enough, in iMovie. None of the instructional material Ive got for FC seems to cover precisely this kind of weeding-out editing in which the audio and the video need to be weeded separately, but still stay (or get) synced.
Sorry to be so long-winded; hope Ive actually managed to clearly describe my situation.
Anybody else doing something similar in FC or know of some good links/books/vids that cover this kind of editing?
Many thanks for any comments!

I'm a little confused as to what you are editing.
is your picture and sound coming in together?
I had a little play around with imovie but i find it a little wierd.
its almost like it encourages you to pull huge chunks of footage into the timeline then cut out the bits you don't want.
a bit perverse by my reckoning.
I select the shots (I/O points) in the source monitor before pasting them into the timeline.
then any work you do in the timeline is trimming etc.
it's funny you ask this because the first time i used FCP it was a mac in a graphic design company.
I was in between jobs (i.e. unemployed).
they asked if i could cut a music promo for them and i said well yeh but i'll have to learn FCP as i'm going.
they were cool with that.
the funny thing was, one of the designers was watching me cutting one day and commented on the way that i used the timeline/source-edit monitors in a completely different way to him.
the thing is he's from a graphics/web design background and i mainly work in drama/features.
the beauty and also the pain in some respects of FCP is it is endlessly adaptable to you personal working style.
I suppose in a way what i'm saying is there's an element of trial and error going on here.
feel your way around the system.
don't worry about learning the ins & outs in record time.
pick up the basics and the rest will come.
enjoy!

Imovie user needs help in final cut!

hi, i am an imovie editor who has made the smart move to final cut pro. but i am confused sometimes on what to do. i am editing a promo video for my school, i have an audio clip that runs the whole promo (voiceover)and i want to cut out a piece of it out. in imovie i would just "split" the audio at the beginning and end, reselect it and delete it. not sure how to do it in final cut. any help would be much appreciated. thanks
aaron

To do that same technique in FCP... use the B tool (for razor).
If you hit it once, it will only cut items linked at a certain spot... if you hit it twice it will cut the whole timeline.
Then... use the del key over by HOME and the media on the timeline will close when you delete the selected material. If you just want to LIFE out the section and leave the hole... use the delete key by the += key.
Yes?
Good luck and welcome!

MSSQL user needs help moving to Oracle! SQLXML, updategrams, diffgrams

I'm looking for the Oracle equivalent of Microsoft's SQLXML package.
Is there something similar to the diffgram or updategram?
Is SQLX the Oracle way of doing FOR XML, or does FOR XML work in Oracle?
Or more generally,
What's the standard architecture for getting data set changes in a web application back into the oracle database, without writing custom webservices?
Thanks for helping a newbie,

New PC user needs help moving stuff from MAC

I have just had to resort to getting a PC and I don't know how to get all my stuff from my mac to my PC. Specifically; iPhoto library, itunes folder, mailboxes and signatures in Mail, bookmarks in firefox or safari, 'address book' v cards, and all my textedit docs (AAARRRGGHHHH!).
Can anyone help me? My new PC is a Quad core acer running vista.

Apple devices are designed to only allow you to sync to one itunes library at a time. If you try, it will replace everything on the deivce with the itunes library you are syncing to.
If she has already synced her ipad to another computer, then this is normal behavior.
It would be best to create a library just for her. If you can import/export the music and photos on the computer into her own itunes library.
Syncing multiple devices with one computer
http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1495
The reason that content from her ipad is showing up on your iphone is probably due to you both sharing the same apple id and having automatic downloads turned on in the settings.
You can turn this off by going to settings/itunes and app stores/automatic downloads/turn off

Frustrated: Novice Illustrator User Needs HELP

Frustrated: Novice Illustrator User Needs HELP
Hello All
I am a novice user of Illustrator [after you read my question it will probably be obvious] running Illustrator 14.0.0 (CS4) - on a MAC iMac running 10.4.11. I am a small business owner and have to wear many hats and so I am forced to be my graphic designer by default - ha ha
PROBLEM - If I make a box using the RECTANGLE TOOL... The box should have a point at each Corner and the Middle of the box, as well as, in the Middle of each Side, and middle of Top and Bottom for a total of 9 anchor points... but it only has 5... missing the 4 anchor points in the Middle of each Side, and middle of Top and Bottom. It is the same on Text Boxes too.. I can NOT find a setting to change this.... More, when running Illustrator on my MAC Laptop, It has all 9 anchors on the box... I looked at Preferences etc... and matched everything to be the same but the problem is not fixed?
Any help would be greatly appreciated
Thanks-

Aw, c'mon James. Chill it a bit.
Yeah. You continually throw around your little personal jibes, and then if someone calls your bluff, you think you can back out of it with the old "can't you take a joke?" comeback.
In my previous work environment where everyone used Illie, Freehand was a word to be used cautiously – a bit like Macbeth in the theatre.
Well, I didn't work in your previous environment. And FreeHand specifically had nothing to do with this thread until you brought it up. Seems to me it's you who has a FreeHand chip on his shoulder.
I thought you knew my way of expressing myself better...
What, you think I keep a personality registry of regulars here or something? I'll tell you what I don't do: I don't engage in personal insults here. Yet your personal jibes are frequent enough for me to have grown weary of them.
I think I was not dismissing bounding boxes as useless...
Excuse me? "There's absolutely no need to use bounding boxes"?
You are probably right that bounding boxes came with Illie 9.
Probably before that. But I can personally recall that the current-selection bounding box was present in AI9. Unlike some, I try to avoid making claims that I can't immediately substantiate.
I hopped straight from 6 to 9 and that was the first time I had seen them outside of Freewotever.
I'm not familiar with "Freewotever." But if you're again trying to be funny, you are also again revealing your near complete unfamiliarity with it. FreeHand is not the program that continually cluttered the interface with bounding boxes. In fact, for many years that is exactly one of the distractions FreeHand users complained about re Illustrator.
First off, FreeHand's interface doesn't display bounding boxes. It displays only bounding box handles (four dots) on non-basic constructs like clipping paths. (Somewehere around FH 9, it implemented the optional Transform Handles, but that's another thing.) In the cases of rectangles and ellipses, FreeHand doesn't display Bounding Boxes per se. Working in FreeHand has always provided more functionality with much less visual clutter (and tool glut) than Illustrator's defaults.
The difference is that FreeHand has always provided proper live geometric shape primitives--something which Illustrator still doesn't provide, even though it's one of the most basic of all vector drawing interface expectations, being present in just about any vector drawing program on the planet--except Illustrator. That point of confusion is common among those who are experienced only with Illustrator's chronically outdated and archaic interface.
Quite to the contrary, a rectangle drawn in a program that does provide basic live primitives doesn't need a bounding box to perform the bare-bones basic manipulation exemplified, because you can change the aspect ratio of it (and corner radius) anytime you want, regardless of its rotation. You can do this not only in FreeHand, but Canvas, Inkscape, Xara Designer, and even in just about any basic drawing module of just about any "works" or "office" bundle. It's just Illustrator that still fails to provide live shape primitives, and therefore needs a rotated bounding box to provide a very limited subset of such common functionality. You draw a rectangle (or any other geometric primitive) in Illustrator, and all you get is a dumb path. So Illustrator actually needs bounding boxes more than other programs, because of its anemic core funciton set and its hideous user interface.
But of course, someone who is familiar only with Illustrator wouldn't know that. Which is fine...so long as they don't spew derision at programs they know next to nothing about (and users of such programs).
...bearing in mind that I have been at this job since the days of Rotring pens with nosebleeds.
So? I was using Rapidographs and constructing compound rotation in isometric on the board for about a decade before I came to prefer Staedtler pens because I found them less prone to clog. What does that have to do with anything?
Obviously newcomers should be encouraged to use new features, but preferably not before they have grasped the basics thoroughly. How basic bounding boxes are is perhaps a moot point.
Nonsense. Other self-proclaimed "experts" in Illustrator would no doubt argue that bounding boxes were added for the benefit of "beginners." Again, this is not a "new feature." And yes, it is bare-bones basic; just implemented in a half-baked manner in Illustrator.
As for step 3 you are right, but if you turn off the preview you can use the pixels on the paths for alignment,
Egads. That's really grasping at straws, Steve.
...Or use bounding boxes.
Or use bounding boxes.

I need help moving my Photoshop 7 from my old laptop to my new laptop which is running Windows 7 Enterprise. I’ve tried two routes unsuccessfully. I install the CD, it does not autoplay. I execute Autoplay.exe at the root directory, I am welcomed, I choose English, I accept the EULA, I get the Install/Explore choices window, with the Install button already selected, I click the Photoshop button, the CD spins, and nothing happens. In the 2nd attempt I execute Setup.exe in the Photoshop directory, and nothing happens at all. I’m never even offered the opportunity to enter my product code. What should I do?

There could is likely a compatibility problem between the old software and the newer operating system.

New MAC user, old Picasa user - need help!

recently purchased my IMAC - and while I have loved it - I haven't loved used iphoto. I'm an old picasa user and when I copied all of my picasa fotos in iphoto - while the pictures transfers all the names and dates of the folders that the pictures were in did not - so they are all randomly scattered through out.
What I would really like to do is use Picasa for Mac and have it recognize my external drive, storing and altering all of the pictures there. Is this possible? I need help!

Sure - you can use any software you choose - you can not use both iPhoto and Picasa - they do not work together
For iPhoto support this is a good pace
For Picasa support yu need to go to the Picasa forums
And note that while Picasa is a very good package iPhoto is a dabase program and is much more powerful - but it does have a learning curve

Newbie Needs Help - Moving to CD

I'm running winXP and have downloaded the latest CS 5.5 version of Dreamweaver - I've created a small series of interlinking web pages with the 'main site' being a folder on my Desktop called Testsite. As far as I'm aware all the relevant pages/documets/images are contaned within my Desktop folder and everything runs from index.html which sits within my testsite folder. Ultimately, I would like to be able put a CD in a drive and automatically launch a browser that would open my home page (i.e. index.html). I need help on all this but I will googe for the auto launch bit - at the moment I would appreciate any advice on burnng my site to a CD. Because I have created the site on my PC I'm assuming all my dreamweaver internals/links are in the form C:\Documents and Settings\username\Desktop\Testsite - so I'm guessing if I just copy my Desktop Testsite folder to a CD and run index.html on another PC my little web site is not going to work. I have googled but keep getting pages about running the actual Dreamweaver applicaton from a CD and installing it on a PC - not the way I want to do it. I'm not interested in moving Dreamweaver to a CD - just the site/pages I have created. Any advice apprecited.

All long as all of your files are linked with relative links (eg: /path/to/file.jpg and not http://www.domain.com/path/to/file.jpg) you should be fine. Auto-starting can be an issue because there are some operating systems that don't auto start discs. So you should maybe include instructions with your disc in case the autorun does not work.

VoiceOver user needs help with reminders

I am using VoiceOver and I need help setting up a reminder. I type the name and then go into the details to have it remind me on a day and I can't seem to control what day and time it reminds me on. It always defaults to the top of the next hour. How can I change this to a time I choose?

#3 is even easier
Go to Hub settings, then display and actions and drag down, you'll see the option 'delete'.

New User,need help, charging, using, everythi

I recently bought a Zen V Plus and have no tech savy so need help. I've checked with support but don't get th answers I need so thought someone here could help. Here are my questions.
1. Is there anything else that can be used as a charger besides a Zen product. I have several cell phone chargers both for house and can, can any of these be used? need to save money
2. Can the Zen be used while charging? All I get is the docked message and nothing else?
3. I use my player mainly for audio books and the battery doesn't hold for a whole book so I have to charge but when I do the book goes? back to the first part instead of holding my place. I do I hold my place?
Anybody that can give me simple clear answers please help. Because of my age I have trouble reading and the player allows me to enjoy books but I have trouble understanding how to make it work. Don't laugh but my 3 year old grandson would probably have better luck with getting it to work.
Thanks for any help provided

Li'vewolf,
First, no three year old will do better than you can with the player. That said, spend some time reading the tutorials listed under support at the top of this page, and use the search in this forum to find everything you can about the Zen V Plus.
When I shut down my Zen V plus, while reading my current audiobook, I just hit the pause button and then pull down the slide button on the left for "shutting down". Some of my books seem to do better with just a shut down instead of pause first. I have found that the bookmark feature is more trouble than it is worth. I use audiobooks from NetLibrary and Overdri've and a few extra from a forum on audiobooks. It seems that they all work differently when shutting down and holding a place.
Anyway, spend some time trying different methods of bookmarking. The Zen V Plus is fairly forgiving player.
Best Wishes.
luvmyrescuedogs
One more thought for recharging your battery. Try Amazon or eBay for a recharger, if you can't afford the Creative charger, but remember that you can fry the player if you use the wrong one and the warranty doesn't cover that damage. The easiest and cheapest way to recharge is to use the computer.

BB Curve/Mac OS 10.4.11 User - Need help!

Hi
I have many questions.
First -
Pocket Mac
What do I need to DL and install from the BB site?
I have the Blackberry Curve but due to lack of know how I am underutilizing it's abilities.. I need help with this!
There are a lot of choices and I think I may need to DL more than one choice but I just don't know.
https://www.blackberry.com/Downloads/entry.do?code=A8BAA56554F96369AB93E4F3BB068C22
Seems there are a lot of issues. I have no immediate "tech support" [the ex is gone] and am not sure about several things.
What software exactly do I DL and install so I can sync up computer and BB?
Music:
The T-Mobile people told me that the BB could function as an I-pod. How do I UL all my music in my I Tunes library to my BB?
Email/Calendar:
Does the BB sync with gmail? I heard it did. How do I do that?
My MS office 04 Entourage is shot and I can't get a new install from ex so-
Calendar- Does Gmail calendar work?
Photos:
Works with I Photo right? Once I get the right Pocket Mac software?
SAFETY
I read someone lost their phone from installing Pocket Mac.
Word on that? It is my only phone, I don't have insurance on it. I am simply trying to utilize all that it offers and am a bit lost! I can figure stuff out but I worry that I will do that to the detriment of my files and/or device.
Recommendations to help this newbie get acclimated to the digital world?
Thanks!

1. You will want PocketMac 4.1 on that list.
2. iTunes are not usable on the BB until you remove the Digitial Rights from them; for instance, you can burn the iTunes to a CD and then burn the songs to a CD and then import them to iTunes and they will be DRM free.
3. It doesn't "sync" but it does reconcile your deleted messages to and from the BB to your Gmail account. However, your sent messages from the BB won't be synced to your Gmail account.
4. Gmail Calendar sync does work.
5. PocketMac works well for many, I have read some who don't like it. You shouldn't really have any problems, especially with it bricking your device.
Good luck.
