Is HDMI OUT on motherboard a useful option for editing?

ASUS has motherboards with HDMI OUT. Is this useful for Premiere? Can this be used for having an external HD monitor for editing?

Not with PP. For an external monitor you may need a BlackMagic or AJA card.

and when I next connect the external hard drive how will I easily get the newly downloaded media onto the external HD
you'd have to point +iTunes media folder location+ back to the external via preferences > advanced > iTunes media folder location, then file > library, organize library > consolidate files
and essentially, to have it easily readable on both machines?
in that case it might be best to copy the entire iTunes folder to the external. then, on each machine, launch iTunes while pressing option on your keyboard. when prompted, click on +choose library+ and navigate to the iTunes folder on the external.
note only one iTunes can access the iTunes library @ a time !
also, make sure the external is mounted on either machine before launching iTunes.

Can I use the HDMI Out on my macbook pro retina for audio without connecting a video device?

While the MBP has TOSLINK output from the headphone jack, TOSLINK does not have the bandwidth to carry the high resolution audio from many blu-rays and DVD-Audio disks. I would like to hook my MBP to an audio-only HDMI sink so I can pipe the multichannel output to my surround speaker setup.
My concern is that the MBP will get "confused" and do one of the following things - both of which are "bad":
1) It will decide that a video device is there, and put the desktop on the nonexistent HDMI display OR
2) It will decide to send no signal at all (no video, no audio) because it sees no video device.
Any thoughts on this?
In short - thinking of using something like this: http://www.ambery.com/2hddodtsdihd.html
with the HDMI out of the MBP and then piping its 6 discrete analog outputs to my old (but excellent for computer speakers) Logitech Z680 setup.
But I want any movie video to remain unperterbed on my Thunderbolt display. And if I am not watching a movie and am just listening to multichannel FLACs or something, then I'd like to run the media player normally and have the usual desktop on my MBP or Thunderbolt display.
Any thoughts?
Thanks to all!!

Not from Apple, you can go to the grey market if you choose but it is most likely that the only MB that will work is the one you already have.

Maybe, if the Sonnet is properly Thunderbolt compatible it should.

Airport Extreme Drop Outs - Best Firmware/set-up options for mixed Airport Devices

I have an Airport Extreme (4th Gen) that I have connected to a Comcast modem. I use this devise as a primary base station for my wireless network, and route an Ethernet cable from this Extreme to a D-Link 24 port switch. The D-link is then connected to the various ports around my house via Cat5.
Recently, I have been having trouble with my Internet connection dropping out periodically (not just wireless, but the Internet as well). Had comcast out and all look good with the lines, signal, etc. When I connect a computer directly to the Comcast modem (i.e. bypassing the Extreme), no drop outs. So, I figured it was the Extreme (or potentially the D-Link, but feels more like the Extreme) so I bough a new Extreme (but have not installed yet).
I have read in some of the forums that the firmware update on the Airport Extreme may be the culprit, but after downgrading, the issue still remains. I have a couple of Airpirt Expresses as well, of mixed Generations.
2 questions:
1 - My buddy seemed to recall a site or page that showed the best Airport firmware options for a mixed generation Airport network. I can't find it anywhere. Anyone know if this exists or where I might find something like this.
2 - I am currently extending the network wirelessly, but also have that extender plugged in via Ethernet for faster speed when I want to connect via Ethernet. Could this be causing issue. I am now thinking I should have set the express up as a bridge (i.e. roaming network) rather than extender, and will do that when I install the new Extreme. Could having the Express set up the way I currently do (wirelessly extending network AND connected via Ethernet) causing the issue (it has worked fine for the longest time, but maybe the new firmware doesn't like that). I am not really that good with network stuff, so may be that's just a snipe hunt.
FWIW - I also just bought a brand new IMAC with Mavericks that is now on the network (via Ethernet). I mention this only because I feel like people have also mentioned connectivity issues with Mavericks.
Any help would be appreicated.

First just install the new extreme to see if dropouts go away
For the express, it should be setup to extend via wired (not wirelessly); power it off for now and just make sure the new extreme isn't suffering from dropouts
Then factory reset the express so that it can be a wired extender, don't worry, it will also provide a wifi signal with the same credentials as your main extreme

Acrobat X Pro Ctrl E option for Edit Document Text tool

Hi,
When I use the "Edit Document Text" tool (formerly TouchUp Text) in Adobe X Pro and press Ctrl E, it's saying "Properties No current selection".
However, pressing Ctrl E on other tools such as Comments, Link etc, the Properties toolbar is showing properly. And when I switch back into using the "Edit Document Text" tool, the Properties toolbar will show as grayed out.
I tried using Adobe Acrobat 9 Pro and it's doing the same thing.
Is the Ctrl E Properties toolbar is not really available for "Edit Document Text" tool? Do I really have to right click on the area and choose Properties?

Hi gracet41265898,
Please refer the page associated with this Link (Unable to access Acrobat's Tool properties toolbar (greyed out, or "no current selection") ).
Please let me know if this resolves your issue or in case your problem persists.

GPU options for editing RED 4k via Mercury Engine

Hi Everyone,
I've done a fair bit of research in terms of GPU options, but have yet to have found any decent information regarding specifically the RED 4k workflow.
I'm currently in the process of building this workstation:
i7 2600 Overclocked @ around 3.8Ghz with Corsair H80
Gigabyte Z68X-UD3H Mobo
16GB 1600MHZ Corsair Blue
2x HDs in RAID 0
1x SSD for operating system
2x 24in Dell Ultrasharp @ 1920x1200
My three options currently are:
GTX 570 1.2Ghz @ £220 - 480 CUDA Cores - 320bit
GTX 580 1.5Ghz @ £350 - 512 CUDA Cores - 384bit
GTX 580 3.0Ghz @ £430 - 512 CUDA Cores - 384bit
The sole purpose of this workstation is to be able to edit 4K R3D files at 1/2 res. Does anyone have a similar setup, if so how does it perform with R3D files?
My financial situation isn't great after just shelling out £15,000 on a Scarlet, but seeing as this setup is built solely for the purpose of editing RED content it seems silly to shoot myself in the foot trying to save a buck on the GPU . The 570 is a third cheaper than the 580, but would I notice any real world difference in the editing capabilities of my workstation?
Does Premiere CS5.5 fully utilise the extra 32 cores between the 570 and 580? Are there any advantages of having the extra GPU processor speed between the 1.5Ghz and 3.0Ghz when it comes to Premiere, such as being able to have more 4K streams in the timeline for instance? Are there any obvious bottlenecks in the proposed system?
I understand that Quadros would be the best way forward for workstation acceleration, however unfortunately these cards are out of my budget.
Thanks for your time.
Ross

Ross,
In a thread from 2011 (http://forums.adobe.com/thread/883259) I posted the following test results:
...my test results with the RED 4.5k footage on a high-end PC that does not have any special hardware installed (RED Rocket, etc.), I've summarized my findings below:
PC: Intel i7-970 at 4.2GHz, 7x1TB RAID 5 array, and a GTX 480 with 1.5GB GDDR5 VRAM:
TEST 1a: Hardware MPE and un-rendered timeline:
- Scrubbing and playback at 1/2 resolution - perfect quality, no lag whatsoever, CPU usage around 70% (wow, that's with 6 real cores and 6 hyperthread pseudo cores!)
- Scrubbing and playback at full resolution - HORRIBLE, unusable
TEST 1b: Hardware MPE and fully rendered timeline:
- Scrubbing and playback at full resolution - perfect quality, no lag whatsoever, CPU usage around 20% for playback
- Full timeline render is pretty slow - about 9 minutes for 1 minute and 20 seconds of clips on the timeline
TEST 2a: Hardware MPE and un-rendered timeline; this time with 4 layers displayed simultaneously (each at 50% size and in a separate corner):
- Scrubbing and playback at 1/4 resolution - perfect quality, no lag whatsoever, CPU usage around 100% (again, wow!); also, I have to add that RED at only 1/4 resolution is still pretty stunning!
- Scrubbing and playback at full resolution - HORRIBLE, unusable
TEST 2b: Hardware MPE and fully rendered timeline; same 4 layers as test 2A:
- Scrubbing and playback at full resolution - perfect quality, no lag whatsoever, CPU usage around 20% for playback
- Full timeline render is again pretty slow - about 7 minutes for 4 clips around 20 seconds each
I'm very unqualified to tell someone how to build a system for RED, but my sense from running those quick tests was that RED taxes your CPU massively, but the GPU not so much.
If you have not purchased your CPU yet, go for the 2600k model and shoot for a higher OC, say around 4.4GHz. I think that you will want and / or need lots of CPU "grunt".

Jim

I need to get away from iphoto.   I use pixelmator for editing almost exclusively. I have a Sony disc hx200v camera and a Kodak.   I will need to know if my cameras (on mac) will be seamlessly supported and how to get all my existing photos safely to lig

I have several questions.   iPhoto does not meet my needs.    I would use lightroom mainly for organization and downloading photos from my camera cards.   My cameras are Sony disc-hx200v and a little Kodak I will need to know if they are fine with light room. Also I use pixelmator for photo editing and likely will use iskysoft dvd maker for mac to create my dvds once edited.      I am desperate to find a way to make my work flow work.   i.e.   I need to get photos somewhere on my mac, in this case it would be lightroom then I need to edit them in lightroom and pixelmator, then be able to get that album/slideshow/folder whatever you call it Into the dvd maker to voiceover and finish the project.      It looks like aperture would have been more to my taste but they are
also taking that away.   Yeah! Go Apple.   About all I will have left of use is an operating system and mail.     Will appreciate any help. I am 73 and doing dvd's for Amazon so I really can't afford any more programs that are snatched away and learning curves that change every 6 months.

Are you shooting in raw or jpeg?
I’m not sure there is raw support for your Sony model and you don’t say which Kodak you have. But for jpegs Lightroom will normally work.
For your existing photos it would usually be necessary to export versions to the desktop or create new folders in Finder. Those duplicates will contain the editing adjustments you have already made and can be imported into Lightroom using “Add” in the import dialog.
I would suggest you download Lightroom and use it free for 30 days. You can then test it to ensure it meets your needs. You can download from this link:

Load Options for Edit Sub Step

Hi Ppl,
I have created a custom step type which has a edit sub step with LabVIEW adapter. When invoke the edit sub step for the first time, it takes a while to load the edit sub step and there is a noticebale delay for the first time. I want the edit sub step module to be loaded when TestStand is open or when the sequence file is open. I was not able to locate any location where we can specify the load and unload options of the edit sub step. Is there any way to do this ?
Thanks,
Sathish

This is probably because of the launching of LabVIEW development system.
Have you tried setting the Load option for the SequenceFile to 'Preload when opening sequence file'

Imac 27inch is a better option for editing?

Hi! i am having intel based Imac 17 inch computer .I want to go for 27inch . Is that good for editing?
The imac 27inch has only one firewire 800 and i want to connect to my external hardrive and to my external monitor. So i need two firewire ports atleast. what should i do? help me please.

Monitors do not connect to Macs through Firewire ports. You use the Mini DisplayPort for that, along with a suitable adaptor like the Mini DisplayPort to DVI Adapter or Mini DisplayPort to VGA Adapter.
You can also daisy chain several Firewire devices on a single Firewire port, for instance to use several Firewire HD's or a HD & some other Firewire-connected device.

I am looking to buy an imac, should i wait a bit for a new version to come out soon? I use it for photo and video editing

I have a very old MBP it is almost too slow to edit large files and video on any more it does ok but I am a pro photographer and video guy and I edit a lot
I would like to know if I should get a new imac right now or wait a few weeks incase a new one will come out soon, anyone have any insider info or help? thanks mac rumors says one may come in about 70 days but isk if i want to wait that long

I just got PS elements 6 and want to use it for editing with my organizer

being IPHOTO. I have read this is a good way to get the best from both products. Question being: My photos have been moved/stored on an ext. HD (my book) and photoshop pulls them out when opened.... Next time I import photos (haven't imported any since I bought the ext. HD) do I save them to the ext. HD, and will IPhoto always be able to find them?
I tried figuring out Bridge, but my picture folders on My Book are so confusing, because when I started importing photos, they were (because I didn't know what I was doing)put helter skelter in many different folders. But when I got the Mac, the IPhoto pulled them all together, and I was able to organize them into events. This has worked wonderfully well for me, and I don't see why I should bother with Bridge.....

Using Photoshop (or Photoshop Elements) as Your Editor of Choice in iPhoto.
1 - select Photoshop as your editor of choice in iPhoto's General Preference Section's under the "Edit photo:" menu.
2 - double click on the thumbnail in iPhoto to open it in Photoshop. When you're finished editing click on the Save button. If you immediately get the JPEG Options window make your selection (Baseline standard seems to be the most compatible jpeg format) and click on the OK button. Your done.
3 - however, if you get the navigation window that indicates that PS wants to save it as a PS formatted file. You'll need to either select JPEG from the menu and save (top image) or click on the desktop in the Navigation window (bottom image) and save it to the desktop for importing as a new photo.
This method will let iPhoto know that the photo has been editied and will update the thumbnail file to reflect the edit..
NOTE: With Photoshop Elements 6 the Saving File preferences should be configured: "On First Save: Save Over Current File". Also I suggest the Maximize PSD File Compatabilty be set to Always.
If you want to use both iPhoto's editing mode and PS without having to go back and forth to the Preference pane, once you've selected PS as your editor of choice, reset the Preferences back to "Open in main window". That will let you either edit in iPhoto (double click on the thumbnail) or in PS (Control-click on the thumbnail and seledt "Edit in external editor" in the Contextual menu). This way you get the best of both worlds
2 - double click on the thumbnail in iPhoto to open it in Photoshop. When you're finished editing click on the Save button. If you immediately get the JPEG Options window make your selection (Baseline standard seems to be the most compatible jpeg format) and click on the OK button. Your done.

This method will let iPhoto know that the photo has been editied and will update the thumbnail file to reflect the edit..
TIP: For insurance against the iPhoto database corruption that many users have experienced I recommend making a backup copy of the Library6.iPhoto (iPhoto.Library for iPhoto 5 and earlier) database file and keep it current. If problems crop up where iPhoto suddenly can't see any photos or thinks there are no photos in the library, replacing the working Library6.iPhoto file with the backup will often get the library back. By keeping it current I mean backup after each import and/or any serious editing or work on books, slideshows, calendars, cards, etc. That insures that if a problem pops up and you do need to replace the database file, you'll retain all those efforts. It doesn't take long to make the backup and it's good insurance.
I've created an Automator workflow application (requires Tiger or later), iPhoto dB File Backup, that will copy the selected Library6.iPhoto file from your iPhoto Library folder to the Pictures folder, replacing any previous version of it. It's compatible with iPhoto 6 and 7 libraries and Tiger and Leopard. Just put the application in the Dock and click on it whenever you want to backup the dB file. iPhoto does not have to be closed to run the application, just idle. You can download it at Toad's Cellar. Be sure to read the Read Me pdf file.
Note: There's now an Automator backup application for iPhoto 5 that will work with Tiger or Leopard.

I want to use my photos in alphabet templates. Can I create or buy? I use CS2 for editing.

I wondered if it was possible to create alphabet letter templates with CS2 wherein I can use the template over my wildflower photos? If this isn't possible, is there any digital photo template software available for this?

If I remember correctly CS2 was capable of clipping masks. Take a look at the properties of your layers panel and see if clipping masks is listed. On windows holding down the alt key while the cursor is between two layer would change the icon and once clicked with the mouse, a clipping mask is created.
Another option is look at the text tool and see if mask tools are listed there as well. By using the mask for text instead of text you can fill it with any image you choose by using the paste into command.

Why is Photoshop CS6 not an option for editing iPhoto image?

I've read everywhere that to edit iPhoto pictures in Photoshop CS6, I need to select it as the application to used to edit the image. However, I don't have that as an option, only Preview. And yes, I do have Photoshop installed, I use it every day. Any ideas on how to get it to where Photoshop is the visual editor? Frustrating. Thanks.

You already have selected preview as your external editor - to change it select it again and then select the new external editor
