Is anyone using JVC ProHD clip manager with premier pro?

i recently purchased a JVC GY-HM150U camcorder (my 1st experience with JVC) and am trying to figure out how to use their ProHd clip manager software to get recorded clips imported into premier. i can do it one clip at a time, but it is pretty darn cumbersome; there must be a better way?

I disagree. Any advantage AVCHD has in visual quality over bitrate quotient is not worth the computing overhead for RT editing. I've not used Panasonic AVCCAM cameras in particular, but general implementation of AVCHD is not very flexible with resolutions and framerates, like shooting 720p 60. And the cameras that do offer more settings options go outside of the AVCHD standard into propreitary implementations that have spotty support.
* edit  -  It looks like I was wrong about 720 60p being non-standard for AVCHD. I guess it is just non-standard on the several Cannon Vixia models I have used, including my own. One of the Vixias we have at work uses h.264 in an .mp4 wrapper for 720 at either 4 or 9 mbps.
My main gripe with AVCHD is its RT performance as a native source in Premiere. I edit multiple AVCHD and Cannon XF projects each week. Using Premiere CS5.03 on a six core i7 980 with a GTX 480, Projects using AVCHD take about 3x long to export than comparable projects that are using Cannon's XF codec (similar to XDcam 25-50mbps). Also, on several systems properly configured systems, ie. -core i5 2500k, i7 2600k, i7 980, CS5x & CS6x, 12gb to 32GB memory, GTX cards, CS5x & CS6x,.... on each system the XF codec projects invariable run smoother than AVCHD projects. The AVCHD project's timelines are more prone to random choppiness and bugginess. With AVCHD, even if the sequence matches the source footage properly, there is still a yellow line above footage on the timeline, meaning playback will play by rendering each frame for preview in mpeg I-frame just before the CTI reaches it. The HD mpeg2 employed with Sony XDcam, Cannon XF, and JVC's XDcam  EX variant will not have a yellow line above the footage on the timeline and will not need to render preview frames for display.
The advantage of the simple HD codec becomes more apparent as the projects become more complex, like when adding video fx or multiple video streams.  When editing in Premiere's multicam panel gui, the AVCHD footage looks awful compared to Cannon XF. Also, you need a much more power system to do multi-camera editing with AVCHD.
There is not a debate on whether AVCHD has better quality/bitrate. If one were using higher bitrate intermediate footage like a FCP or Avid workflow, then AVCHD would be a better aquisition choice. However when editing native footage in Premiere, while AVCHD works, HD mpeg footage offers a faster, smoother and more stable editing experience. This comes into play even more when your computer hasn't really enough muscle for AVCHD.

  • Is anyone using the novation impulse keyboard with Logic pro x?

    is anyone using the novation impulse keyboard with Logic pro x?
    I currently have an M-Audio Axium controller but I cannot map any of the controllers.
    I need to buy a 25 key controller anyway so I was hoping to get one that works well with Logic Pro X

    I have the Logitech S530 keyboard and mouse. I had no problems with it while I was using it with 2 PowerMac G5 and one Dell XPS, but when I got the MacPro I found that it doesn't work with MacPro and a KVM switch. Logitech says their keyboard and mice are NOT made to work with KVM switches, but I didn't find that until I started using it with the Mac Pro.
    The other small con is that the mouse is made for right handed people. On the other hand, I love the looks and feel of the keyboard and all the keys. It also will do the boot up holding down the Option key for choosing your startup drive and holding down the Shift key for Safe Mode, which the Kensington keyboard will not do.

  • Has anyone used "Final Cut Library Manager" with FCP X 10.1?

    I've just noticed this inexpensive app which looks interesting.
    http://www.arcticwhiteness.com/finalcutlibrarymanager/
    Has anyone used it?
    Comments?

    I assume you are referring to Event Manager which I also found extremely good.
    On the face of it, this looks rather like EM's  successor plus a more "FCP X"  looking interface.
    At first sight it promises to be a "must have" app,  but it's only by using it that its true worth and any potential flaws will be revealed.
    What's good is that you can download the demo version (not quite fully functional) to try out before you buy.

  • Anyone use Oracle Privileged Account Manager  with OEM

    Our security folks are pushing us to lock the "oracle" account and use OPAM. Have others done this? Is it possible?
    What they are hoping we do is create a named account, and only su into oracle if need be. I realise these doesnt audit much of anything .. but alas..
    If we lock "oracle" - can OEM pull passwords from OPAM? I think thats what they are looking for us to do. OPAM would rotate passwords and such. We as dbas should never need to know the oracle password.
    I could be totally off on this ..
    Anyone gone down this road before?
    Daryl

    Hi,
    I want to check  did you start the any service before running the security store? Go with create option as you are created different domain for OPAM.
    Let me know.

  • Anyone using Antares Auto-Tune 5 with Logic Pro 8 on a Mac Intel?

    I just bought the upgrade from Auto-Tune 4 to Auto-Tune 5 since v4 didn't work with the Intel machines, and I'm using a Mac Pro.
    After trying to tune one simple part of one song, I'm going nuts. The plug-in is full of bugs, it seems -- mostly in graphical mode. Is anyone else either successfully using this set-up or experiencing major bugs with it?

    I'm thinking it's an Intel thing.
    When I try to use the various tools in the graphical view, the plug-in will just basically stop responding. I can't close out the plug-in window, and sometimes the "options" window of AT 5 will pop up for no reason and freeze. Its "cancel" and "OK" buttons are non-functioning at that point.
    I've hard to force quit Logic a few times now, which pains me to say. Not to mention that it's setting my project back.
    Antares doesn't have a forum, and I can't find anything else about this apparent anomaly online anywhere.
    Unrelated: I've had problems with Drumagog in LP8 as well. If I try to drag the Drumagog pop-up window around the screen, the only thing that moves is the semi-transparent LP 8 "container". The actual Drumagog window stays put as the LP 8 window that frames the Drumagog window moves about. Very strange.

    Is anyone using iPhoto having a problem with the slide show using shatter where it does not let you put a title over photo? It use to work but it no longer lets you place a title over the opening photo.

    Is your signature still current?(iPhoto '08, OS X Mountain Lion (10.8.4))    I can confirm this for iPhoto '11; Shatter will only show the text slide title between the slides. Ken Burns and Classic theme can still be set to overlay the caption and title directly over the slides.

    And which device to buy for travel? As far as I know other smartphone platforms even don't have an update facility like AppStore. And by the way what are your criteria for the perfect travel phone? I would place being able to use it in other countries (world phone), having easy access to internet and email and ability to remotely sync Contacts and Calendar on top of my list. All of which iPhone is capable like few other phones.
    I'm sorry, John, but your statement seems like utter nonsense and is misleading for others. First being able to update apps doesn't cross my mind as a main functionality for travel. Second I was just travelling to SC and easily installed a new app from iPhone and updated an existing one. In your case I believe there's a mishap with AppStore. Probably you have a false update notification. Just compare versions of the apps you have with the versions of the same apps AppStore shows. I bet version are same. That's why it doesn't let you install.
    If you want to sync your iPhone Contacts and Calendar (which seems more like a genuine travel requirement) you can do it via MobileMe or Yahoo and few other similar web services.

    anyone using kmymoney personal finance management system on a mini?

    The ability to retrieve a set of distinct values (across all nodes) for a given Property Definition is not a built-in capability.
    However, you can add this capability, like this:
    - find an external storage location for storing this data (basically a 1:m relationship from String propDef to propDefValue) -- see below for some ideas.
    First, process existing nodes:
    - for each property definition on the specified type:
    - retrieve all nodes of that type (by iterating, or by query)
    - for each node of that type:
    - retrieve the property value
    - check if the property value is in the external storage location; if not, add it
    - end for
    - end for
    Once this is complete, you only need to process new nodes:
    - when node of the specified type is added, for each property definition:
    - check if the property value is in the external storage location; if not, add it.
    You can construct your drop-down list from the external storage data.
    Several ideas for the external storage location:
    - unrestricted property choices on the associated PropertyDefinition on the ObjectClass.
    - database table
    - content nodes of a new type.

  • Using Thinkpad Trackpoint USB Keyboard with MacBook Pro, Air, Retina (with pictures)

    Using Thinkpad Trackpoint USB Keyboard with MacBook Pro, Air, Retina (with pictures)
    The purpose of this discussion thread is to:
    (1) Get community thoughts around using alternative and complimentary mousing approaches with MacBooks 
    (2) To share a current and searchable set of resources for those interested in leveraging a best-of-both-worlds approach for using a non-Apple Trackpoint Keyboard with an Apple MacBook.
    (3) To level-set the fact that a Thinkpad Trackpoint USB Keyboard works with MacBooks automatically and instantly out-of-the-box.
    Note: I created this discussion because I found that all the other discussion threads related to using a Thinkpad Trackpoint Keyboard with MacBooks were archived and therefore I could not post my thoughts there.
    I have been using MacBooks for 3+ years now.  Airs, Pros, Retinas etc.  I LOVE the built-in MacBook Apple Trackpad.  It is wonderful.  Apple has no equal as far as Trackpads go.
    In addition, I have been using the Thinkpad Trackpoint USB Keyboard with my MacBooks for ~2 years, and below is why I have found BOTH the Apple Trackpad and Thinkpad Trackpoint to be great.
    The Trackpoint and Trackpad both have their sweet spots.  Personally I use the built-in Apple Trackpad on my MacBooks when I'm using my MacBook for less than 1 hour, loosely speaking.  If I am going to be heads-down for more than 1 hr writing, reading, surfing, graphic designing, programming, workshop facilitating, teaching, mindmapping, presenting, demoing, etc. then I pull out my "Lenovo Thinkpad USB Keyboard with Trackpoint (55Y9003) > https://www.google.com/search?&q=lenovo+thinkpad+trackpoint+usb+keyboard
    I know many will laugh at me for using a Thinkpad Trackpoint Keyboard with a MacBook...  Keeping an open mind, let's just agree that there is historical precedence for alternative mousing devices.  If I could only choose one, I would use the Apple MacBook built-in Trackpad exclusively, however with alternatives come potential benefits.  Keep in mind that Apple, Microsoft, Logitech and many other companies make millions of dollars each year providing alternative peripheral devices for computers, and mousing is no exception.  Regardless, I just want to share my positive experiences using both. :-)
    Why should you care?  For *some* people the following is true and meaningful.  The Trackpoint (the little red eraser head stick thingy) in the midle of the keyboard enables useful and unique dynamics/use-cases, including:
    You don't have to take your hand(s) off the keyboard to mouse
    You can independantly click without accidentally moving the mouse (Yes I know some people don't have issues with this)
    You don't run out of finger-gesture runway when you're moving your mouse across the screen (I know this is a gray area for some people)
    For mouse-movement-heavy applications (e.g. Graphics, drawing, etc.) the Trackpoint *is at times* more exacting
    Below I share some pictures (which I know *look* ridiculous to some people, but none-the-less help demystify what this looks like.  And, while ridiculous looking, it is actually quite thin and elegant once you get over the initial shock of seeing these two diverse technologies combined in this way.
    Rest assured, the keyboard shown below (google "55Y9003") is VERY light, thin and fits in almost any laptop case/backpack easily so it is not a big deal to carry it, if you work on-the-go.  In addition:
    It is UNCANNY how well it fits on top of the keyboard space of all MacBooks. 
    It fits perfectly around the corners of the MacBook Pro/Air/Retina keyboard
    Note: I took one of the 5 rubber feet/pads off the bottom of my keyboard, the one in the middle
    Lastly, you can actually use the built-in Apple Trackpad at the SAME TIME as the Trackpoint Keyboard. 
    It is quite a nice best-of-both-worlds approach for people that like the benefits of the "Why should you care?" use cases above.
    Please reply and comment with your thoughts and please let's keep it positive, constructive and friendly :-)
    Pictures Below:
    My two Retina MBPs, one with and one without the keyboard, so you can easily see the difference.  (As if you wouldn't)

    Newer Bluetooth version of the ThinkPad External Trackpoint Keyboard available...
    The new version is smaller, so you can use your MacBook Trackpad at the same time as your Trackpoint keyboard.
    Here is the Lenovo model/Part Number# 0B47190
    Here is a picture of what it looks like:
    Note: Just like the older larger USB model keyboard, there is a rubbery footpad in the middle of the bottom of the keyboard that I just peeled off.  Otherwise, it makes the "H" key press accidentally under-neath the keyboard.  Once I took that off, it fit perfectly over and around the built-in MacBook keyboard, so I can optionally put it on top of my MacBook for easy typing. :-)

  • Does anyone still have problems with Premier Pro on Maverick? and is there any known fix?

    Does anyone still have problems with Premier Pro on Maverick? and is there any known fix?

    I know OSX 10.9 Mavericks introduced a power saving feature called App Nap which is meant to slow down applications that it determins are inactive (or when minimized). This would mostly likely cause problems if you're dynamically linking After Effects comps to your timeline or sometimes exporting to Media Encoder.
    Try disabling App Nap for all your Adobe App files...
    Go to your Applications folder
    Go into individual Adobe app folders (ie. Adobe Premiere Pro CC)
    Right-click on the Adobe app file (ie. Adobe Premiere Pro CC.app) and select Get Info
    When the info window opens up, add a checkmark beside "Prevent App Nap"
    Restart the application
    This fixed all my performance issues.

  • Can i use my mini Mbox 2 with logic pro 9 on iMac os x lion?

    Can i use my mini Mbox 2 with logic pro 9 on iMac os x lion?

    Hi there,
    Did you find out anything more in regard to this?
    I have been using Pro Tools 8 with the MBox 2 connected to my iMac operating Leopard. It worked a treat for nearly four years.
    However the hardrive has just been replaced on the iMac which now has Snowleopard.  I don't want to have to update to Lion and then fork out £500 for Pro Tools 10. 
    I would be content to get Logic Pro 9 if I can attach the MBox 2 to it.
    Your advice would be appreciated

  • Can I use Dell AOI 922 printer with MacBook Pro?

    Can I use Dell AOI 922 printer with MacBook Pro?

    Cisco:
    Very helpful!   My set up was Mac/ Lion trying to Print off a Dell Photo A10 922
    Lion does not store any Lexmark, nor dow Apple, but I went to the lexmark site, and found this-
    http://support.lexmark.com/index?productCode=LEXMARK_X5270&page=product&locale=E N&userlocale=EN_US#1
    Downloaded that, then hooked up the printer, Cmd-P, and the Mac found the drivers I had loaded.
    Works fine.  Now when I go to my sisters, I can print!
    byw, I'm probably just a Level 2  "GIYF"er, but your the only one ( of MANY folks) who thought to search Lexmart. I've seen posts by MANY geeks saying a Mac could not print to ANY Dell printer.
    Nice job,

    I would like to be able to quickly bounce down my mixes,  through the Zed outputs. 

    Pancenter...
    Yes... but I have come across some setups that came with a native SL (and even one Lion!) installation.. that somehow had a corrupted or older Prokit installed for some unknown reason... and given it's a quick fix to try.. I thought I'd mention it..
    I frankly don't think it is entirely a Prokit issue itself, but it wouldn't do any harm to try and install v7 just in case it is part of the problem...
    +1 on the UAD stuff....
    Also, at the time it crashed... according to the logs...the OP was running Ableton Live at the same time, presumably rewired with Logic... so add all that together with UAD plugins... and that's quite a load on the system...
    Finally in thread 32 there is a weird exception msg relating to the Trash2 plugin.. that I haven't seen before...
    Thread 32:

    That might be nothing... but as i said, I haven't seen that one before and given what else is going on.. it might be involved too... or nothing to do with that at all!
