Is it possible to edit Sony MPEG4 Proxy's in FCP6?

The TV-company I work for ownes a Sony PDW530P XDCAM camera that's able to write low-res files on a CF card simultaneously with the highres footage. I suppose (but do not know for sure) that those files are so called MPEG4 proxy files.
The company workflow now is that reporters use the CF card and VLC to check out the footage they recorded and write down time codes by hand(!?)
Isn't it possible to use the low-res video on the CF card directly in FCP to make an 'off-line' edit which is later relinked to the high-res media from the XD disk?
I never worked this way before but just wondered if it's possible because it would save everybody a great deal of time imho.
Thanks in advance for all your expert answers :o)

Mp4 is not an editing codec, so if that's your only offline option, you're hosed.

Edit Sony EX1 in FCE?

I've searched and searched and haven't found a solution. Is it possible to edit Sony EX1 footage in FCE 3.5? There has to be some kind of converter that will do this. I downloaded the XDCAM Transfer software but it said I was missing a lot of Codecs that come with FCP. Is it possible to download those codes to work with FCE?

FCE cannot work with the files directly.
FCPro from 6.0.2 (I think) on can.
Pop your question on that forum.

How to edit sony 3d mts videoclip in final cut pro x??'

I don't know if it's possible to edit mts 3d clips from a Sony video camera on FCP PRO-X!!! if it's possible how?? thanks

3D video clips from Sony camcorders, e.g. the Sony HDR-TD10, are encoded in the MVC format which is amodification of AVCHD wherein the left lens is recorded in AVCHD and the right eye is the difference between the left and right lenses. This format cannot be ingested in FCP X, and it cannot be transcoded into a 3D format that can be handled by FCP X. Your only option is to use a PC application such as Sony Vegas Pro or Cyberlink's Power Director application which can ingest MVC encoded clips and render them out in the MVC format that can be played back in 3D on Sony Blu-ray players. These applications can be installed and run on a Mac using Bootcamp to install Windows 7 64-bit. I do not recommend trying to run either of those applications using a virutal machine such as Parallels or Fusion.

Is it possible to install an SMTP proxy that will handle splitting group mail?

I am running OS X 10.9.3 with Server 3.1.2 on a Mac-Mini Mid-2012. I learned on my last implementation of OS X 10.9.3 that Mavericks sometimes has issues with handling group mail. As I rebuild my network, I am wondering if it is possible to install a SMTP proxy that can receive, process, then forward mail on to the primary mail server.
For example, if mail is sent to a group account, this SMTP proxy would repackage the message as a message to a carbon copy list of all the group members, but if the mail is sent to a user account, the mail is forwarded unmodified. Like this:
As an alternative to this, I would also be interested a solution in which the Linux Mail Server referenced the Open Directory for account information, including password authentication, so that if a user in the Mac Network updates his password, that he can use the same password to access his mail on a webmail client or via the Mail.app.
This is a callout for discussion points, ideas and recommendations. There is no problem here to fix necessarily.

I am not aware of a tool to do the group splitting for you, this is normally the responsibility of the mail server itself.
However with regards to your second query, a lot of people use a product called Kerio Connect instead of Apple's Mail server. Kerio can run on the same Mac server but in general is a far more powerful mail server. It does include the ability to authenticate user accounts against Open Directory.
There is one issue you need to be aware of, like nearly all mail servers it uses the 'username' as the main email address, so if you want an email account of [email protected] then your Open Directory short name need to be jsmith, if you want your email address to be [email protected] then your user short name needs to be john.doe and so on.
Note: While I have specifically talked about Kerio most other mail server including those for Linux would be able to link to Open Directory via LDAP and authenticate email accounts. The same link between email address and short name would usually apply.

If you have Acrobat Pro Extended that is a PC Product. You've clicked on wrong Forum. Go back to main page the click on Acrobat and choose PC forum. Extend has such features as XML based PDF Forms which Acrobat Pro Mac can't handle.

To answer your specific question "Is it possible to edit a google site using dreamweaver" the answer is NO. The reason is that Google does not allow uploading of web pagesusing any means such as FTP. Google provies hundreds of templates to choose from and like you I don't like them at all.
Microsoft had a free service long time ago that allowed you to upload your own pages but this has been stopped for new customers. New customers are required to sign up to their Office 365 Service <http://tinyurl.com/bucc6t4> and this costs money. However, you can build and host a website with a custom domain for your business.using their free software called Microsoft Sharepoint Designer 2010 <http://www.microsoft.com/download/en/details.aspx?id=16573>. I believe they also have a 64 bit version to download but I only use 32 bit on my 64 bit systems!!
Hope this helps.

Is it possible to edit default string for Comment?

When I add a comment to Pages, I find that my name as well as the current time prefix the starting point of the comment. Is it possible to edit this default so that only my name is inserted and not the current time?
Regards,

You can change the name in the Pages preferences > General. The time you have to delete each time.

Is it possible to edit vector art pasted into Pages 4.1?

Is it possible to edit a vector shape created in Illustrator and pasted into Pages 4.1? I can adjust the transparency, scale it, even put a drop shadow on it, but I can't change the color which is all I want to do.

It has a drawing tool at the end of the Shapes menu but it is oddball and a little clumsy compared with what Illustrator offers and it only edits Pages' native objects.

Is it possible to create a MPEG4 file that is still hi def?

Hello, I'm new to Compressor, having just installed Compressor 3.5. I have a short Final Cut hi def (1080i) video file that my son wants to upload as a hi def file on youtube. He tried uploading the Final Cut file, but it was too large for youtube (over 3 gig), and apparently they requested a mpeg4 file. I messed with Compressor last night and created a 952 MB file using the Hi Def folder in Setting. I also created a 252 MB file using the MPEG4 folder in Settings. But somehow I don't believe that the MPEG4 file is hi def.
Is it even possible to create an mpeg4 file in compressor that is hi def? If so, could you please tell me which setting to use?
Thanks so much, Bob

Does the 1280 X 720 indicate that it is definitely hi def?
By definition (no pun intended), 'high definition' is any resolution greater than 'standard definition.' Standard definition video in NTSC is 720x480 (NTSC rectangular pixels or NTSC 640x480 square pixels). Standard definition in PAL is 720 x576.
how is it possible to still have hi def, if the file is 1/9 the size of the original file?
For a watered down version of compression, some of the information for each pixel's RGB values are thrown out during the compression process. For example, in MPEG-2 compression (commonly used for DVD and broadcast TV), the first frame is an independent or "I" frame, containing all the data for each pixel's RGB value. The next 14 frames only contain the data for each pixel that changed from the I frame or from the previous frame. This group of 15 frames is known as a GOP (group of pictures). The 16th frame is another "I" frame and consequently starts another GOP.
In reality it's a heck of a lot more complex than that, but that's the basics of video compression. For a more detailed explanation, see: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Video_compression

Is it possible to edit/change audio files in a published html5 file?

Is it possible to edit/change audio files in a published html5 file?

Theoretically, YES, but they would need to be in exactly the same format and have the same filename. Why would you be wanting to do this? If the new files are not the same playing length, this could potentially throw out any synchronisation with other elements in the presentation.

I Tunes U - Possible to edit RSS feed produced by podcast producer?

Hi people. Two questions
I have a self hosted i tunes u on mac server. Is it possible to edit rss feeds once they have been published by podcast producer? eg remove particular tracks from a particular feed or rename as track for instance?
Also when i tunes u is actually accessed through the interface no track time information is visible for any of of the podcasts? is this a common problem? and does anyone know how to solve it?
Thanks
Nick

Your 'tunes:summary' in the top section of the feed has several instances of the string
<br/>
You should remove these. You cannot have < or > within a tag and the code won't do either.
The URL in the 'itunes:image' tag includes an aompersand ('&') and this can cause trouble. You should change it to the wrod 'and' in the filename and in the feed (or call it something simpler, no-one sees the filename).
Your 'itunes:summary' and 'itunes:subtitle' tags for the episode have various codes in them - all starting &# something - iTunes will display these codes, not render them, and you should not use them. These tags should contain plain text, no html. This won't render the feed unreadable the way the other errors do, but it looks messy.

Is it possible to 'edit' the Lift Adjustment

Is it possible to 'edit' the Lift & Stamp Adjustment. I want to change the crop information without losing other information. Obviously my workflow has to be changed. I find that when I crop to 11" x 14" and then send out to be printed @ Costco, they advise that the crop is wrong & I will lose some of the image. My thought is to recrop in PhotoShop and then bring it back into Aperture for re-processing.
Any ideas?

No it's not possible to change the values in the lift and stamp tool.
However I don;t think you have to. Are you sure when you export thr image for sending to Costco you are exporting with the correct size? Remember the crop tool only gives you the aspect ratio of the image. The size is set when you export it.

Possible to edit theme-based navigation (ie. the "back" arrow)?

Hello.
I'm just wondering if anyone knows if it's possible to edit the "back" arrow navigation that automatically appears in a theme when you've created a sub-menu? the auto-generated arrow used does not fit very well with the rest of the theme and I'm hoping to move/edit it?
Mainly this is a problem because I've created a custom theme (based on an apple theme) and the arrow style really doesn't fit (nor does the location). Is there a way to start a theme from scratch rather than based on an Apple built-in theme (thus I wouldn't be stuck with the weird looking "back" arrow)?
Thanks,
Kristin.

This is something I want to do myself. I haven't perfected it yet but you need to do something like this:
Press Control and Click (Right Click) on the iDVD icon in Applications > Choose Show Package Contents.
Then choose Resources then select a xxxx.theme file
Right Click again and 'Show Package Contents', then > Contents > Resources.
Pick the relevant files and alter the shape/style in a suitable application.
I'm going to have a play tonight on my Night Watch to see if I can change the colours of the arrows I want to. But at this time I can't actually find the buttons.
Remember always work on a copy of software when looking for this kind of thing.
