Is it the best choice for basic business presentations?

[I posted this same message in the Adobe Lab for VC3. Pardon the clone.]
I'd greatly appreciate opinions, please, on how appropriate VC3 might be for me. I need to create simple business presentations, and I am not at all experienced with video and have very little time for learning.
Please see my post/thread in the Adobe Premiere Pro forum, where I spell out my goals in more detail. That post/thread is at:
http://www.adobeforums.com/cgi-bin/webx/?13@@.3bc48722/1
Thanks!

Sounds like you're just whom we had in mind when we conceived VC. It's designed to be intuitive and quick to learn while producing impressively professional quality results.

JSF - Tomcat security...what is the best choice for a high activity site

JSF - Tomcat security...what is the best choice for a high activity site
The JDBCRealm is not multithreaded so what are options for high activity site??
I would like to have Apache as front end doing load balancing, Tomcat as server and JSF.
All ideals and suggestions please.
Thanks
Phil

One more question.
Since Tomcat has this setup.
create table users (
user_name varchar(15) not null primary key,
user_pass varchar(15) not null
create table user_roles (
user_name varchar(15) not null,
role_name varchar(15) not null,
primary key (user_name, role_name)
It seems like a huge pain to keep a user with every role. What happens when you have 500,000 users???
Also, the authentications on every page....would it be easier to login once and setup a session bean check that on with the page header ??
Thanks

What is the best choice for our project? Thanks

We are a startup company and developing a webiste with two mobile app.
We use PHP in the server side and write with a private framework.
We don't want to use any host-specific APIs so that we can move to other cloud server easily.
In our case, can we use Website option in Azure?
If the answer is yes. What is the best choice for us, VM or website? We need scalability in the future.
Thanks!

hi,
It depends on your requirement. Base on my experience, VM or website all could meet your requirement. From your description, You could use azure website to host your php website (http://www.windowsazure.com/en-us/documentation/articles/web-sites-php-configure/).
And you could use website auto scale feature in the future. I suggest you could see their comparison (http://www.windowsazure.com/en-us/documentation/articles/choose-web-site-cloud-service-vm/
Hope it helps.

Hello All,
Next week am going for 1z0-144. Is anybody out there who has already cleared this exams and can help me about the kind of questions asked in it (like more practical or conceptual). Also about any special kind of book he studied apart from steven 4th edition.
Thanks for your help.
DG.... Well after seeing other replies .... I think you need a bit of encourgement ... so good luck.
I have not actually taken this even.
You MAY glean a little from the JG videos .... (but be aware many will ay it tells them nothing) .... [http://blogs.oracle.com/certification/2009/08/0096.html]
What follows is a little of what you may expect ...
The questions are obviously multiple choice .... at OCA level most will probably indicate the number of correct answers required (as opposed to select all correct answers ... expect to see more of those at OCP/OCE). A few may be drag and drop or something similarly fancy. Some will offer exhibits to be viewed. However there should be enough time for the reasonably able candidate to complete the exam hilst reading questions carefully if they do not daydream.
Most production exams have a set of 10 sample questions (IMHO often not of the highest quality and I am inclined to refer to them as the beta (program) rejects .... questions that didnt make it from the beta exam to the production exam .... and I don't really a justification for that). No such luck with 1z0-144 as far as I can se though.
This is a modern exam; and the questions will probably tend to reflect that. The questions will be most like 1z0-051 questions than 1z0-007 questions.
Therefore the sample questions from 1z0-051 may give a simple insight into the variation of question types o expect [http://education.oracle.com/pls/web_prod-plq-dad/db_pages.getpage?page_id=303&p_certName=SQ1Z0_051]. (Be aware this is a very small ... and possilby skewed ... sample).
This is probably not what you are looking for .... but is about as far as I can go.
Anyone who has taken the exam is bound by non-disclosure agreements and there is very little anyone can sensibly say without possilby getting themselves into trouble.

Which program for basic business presentations?

Forgive me but I need to ask for advice on what program to use for video editing for basic business presentations. I think Premiere Pro is way beyond my needs, mainly in terms of learning curve (as well as the cost).
For what it's worth, I'm an avid Adobe user, and have been for years, for other programs: I currently use InDesign, Photoshop Elements, Dreamweaver, Audition, and Acrobat Standard (and also subscribe to the Acrobat Connect service). So, I don't feel too bad asking this forum to recommend "different" software for video editing. (Maybe Premiere Elements is best for me, but maybe not.)
I do not have any experience in video editing, and I do not have any time for a significant learning curve. I also don't need to do anything fancy.
I bought a MiniDV camcorder (Panasonic PV-GS300). I'm using a PC (3.6G, 1G RAM, half the 160G HD available, though I'll have to add a Firewire PCI card shortly) and Windows XP Pro. I'll get tripod lights and a good headworn mic. I use Nero Burning ROM 6 to burn DVDs (I've used its simple wizard to convert files and burn DVDs).
My purpose is to create about a dozen or so 6- to 12-minute clips consisting mainly just of me standing and giving a verbal speech and with some still images created from the computer (PDF, GIF, or whatever) stuck in between the video (I'll probably want some of the speech from the video taping, or else some speech I create in Audition, to play through the showing of the still images).
I'm not concerned with fancy video effects! I don't need it and I can't justify the learning curve (or cost) for it! Fades in and out are probably as advanced as I will get, though I really don't even need that.
I'll want to create the videos in file formats for Windows and for Mac, and to put them on our web site for streaming video as well as burn DVDs.
I'm sure I'll want to be able to adjust the image sizes and file sizes by choosing the tradeoff level with quality, though I hope there will be a set of standard defaults. I also really need good user forum support (I have no idea if Premiere Elements is enough for me but I sure have come to rely on the users on the Adobe forums).
I need to ask whether I should get Premiere Elements or... yes, I know it's blasphemy but I swear I'm a loyal member of the clan in all other ways... whether there is another video editing program that's light-weight enough to be pretty quick in getting through the learning curve for the basics I want, and that's relatively inexpensive. (I've been told on one forum... blasphemy again, I know... that I should look into Vegas 7, but the price and sophistication seem way beyond my needs based on an initial glance on the web -- but maybe I should just spring for it and go. It also seems Vegas 7 is more practical for my needs than Premiere Pro -- but I'm really hoping I'll be pointed at much lower-end programs.)
I really appreciate any advice I can get. I run a small business with big growth ahead (I have a tiger by the tail) and need to jump on this and to do it myself for now, and I just do not have a lot of time for learning.
Thanks so much!
Jay

OK, fair questions.
In my opinion, the learning curve for the most commonly used 95% of the programs is exactly the same between Premiere Pro and Premiere Elements. It really is. Capture video, figure out what you want on the timeline, put it on the timeline, add transitions, add music, export to something a DVD program can use, all of that. It is darn near identical.
However... then you decide you want to do something interesting. You come online and we tell you that is it very simple. Just use Premiere Pro to do... oh, wait, you don't have Pro? Just Elements? Too bad.
OK. Then you say "How do they make those great motion titles?". We say "It's easy, just use one of the text animation presets in After Effects". What? No After Effects? Too bad.
So let's say you like using After Effects for titles and you decide you want to expand your knowledge. Simple. Get some projects from Dean Velez and modify them to suit you. Do you need to learn it all at one time? No. Just what you need when you need it.
This is one reason that if you buy the Production Premium, one of the choices for extra goodies is a one month subscription to Lynda.com to watch their tutorials.
Spend the time watching the tutorials. If something catches you eye, write down where you saw it so you can go back and really learn it.
Just because you own a hammer and a saw and other hand tools doesn't mean you need to learn to be a carpenter. It just means that when your wife asks you to do something, you will have the required tools so you can go on the web and learn how to do that task, without having to run to Home Depot - which may be closed at the time you need it.
I originally bought Premiere 6.0 and when I went to an Adobe demo at DVExpo in NYC back in 2002 I saw an After Effects demo. I called from the Adobe booth to order After Effects. Why? When I saw that the learning curve was only hard if you tried to tackle the whole thing, and I realized I could just use the part I needed, my whole opinion changed.
If you only used After Effects for text in motion and for Stills in motion (Ken Burns and much more), you would get your money out of it. And that stuff can be learned in 15 minutes. Add in the real need for you, the chroma key, and the time savings is HUGE. You really need to know less to use Keylight than you do to use Premiere Pro to attempt the same thing.
Having the full version of Photoshop is nothing more than you have now. Until you need more. Then you have it.
The ability to use all of the Adobe products together outweighs any Vegas or Avid (consumer) advantages.
Besides, we are much more helpful on this forum than those other guys! ;)

Is an iPhone app the best choice for our project?

Dear All,
We are developing a travel tour idea for different locations within the US. Tour content can include video, audio, images and text, as well as maps and locations. We want to make our tours "in-depth" so that people can spend good quality time traveling a short distance and exploring "in-depth" rather than travelling long distances and giving only casual interest to what they see.
I'm new to developing apps for the iPhone and am using Dreamweaver CS5.5 soon to be updated to CS6.
I'm wondering if an app for iPhone and other related media like Android is really the way to go because of the limited content and screen size available. I can envision our tours being utilized in many other formats, including iPad, Interactive PDF, as travel e-books or through an interactive website. Our goal is to sell our apps, not give our material away for free. PDF would be my preferred format, but I know that PDF is easily transferred for free among users and would probably not give us much profit.
Any thoughts out there on what the best format for our project might be, or should it include ALL of the above formats? App creation for the iPhone is a rather complicated process, so that's why I'm wondering if after all of the work that you have to put in to create an iPhone app, if that is ultimately my best choice.
I would appreciate any thoughts or advice, or any questions you might have. I'm working on a Mac Pro with CS5.5 Master Collection soon to be updated to CS6

Is the 24 inch Apple Cinema Display the best choice for Final Cut Studio 2

I'm about to order a Mac Pro and Final Cut Studio 2 and have a question about monitor choices.
Is the 24 inch Apple Cinema Display the best choice are there non-Apple monitors that will do as good or better job with HD editing and output?

COMPUTER MONITORS bear very little on HD editing and output...especially output. They are just the monitors you use to look at your clips and your timeline. THey work for SD and HD. You really only use them to, well, as I said, see what you are doing. It would be nice to have GOOD ONES so the image looks decent. I use the Dell 24" monitors. The current one is the 2408. Nearly half the price of the Apple 23" displays...and really, the only Apple 23" that exists connects via their new connector, so you need a new MacPro or MacBook pro...or some adapter, to get it to work. And they are not worth the extra money, in my experience.
Samsung monitors are also good.

Digital Video Interfaces?? Is AJA the best choice for the money??

I am using FCP HD, and have always worked with Mini DV. But we just purchased a Sony PVW-2600 Beta deck, and I believe that I'm needing to purchase some kind of interface.
Is AJA the only or best choice for me? Can you give me some suggestions?
Thanks so much!
Bryce

It's not the only choice, as Blackmagic/Decklink make good cards too, as do Aurora. But whether it's the best choice is another matter. There's lots of different decisions to make - HD compatibility? Effects acceleration? Monitoring outputs? Rack mountability?
Others will respond.

Which case do you think is the best choice for the iPhone 4 free case?

What would be the one that is easy to put on and off, and survives falls the best.

if i have to chose from 3 cards
1. GTX 285 (250$~)
2. GTX 295 (375$~)
3. GTX 470 (3504~)
which one is the best for me?
Thanks again.

Annotations Newbie: Are annotations the best choice for..

I currently have source code that consumes web services and use the @WebServiceRef annotation to provide the wsdllocation. If I understand annotations correctly, there is a way at compile time to replace the wsdllocation path. This is done because the software is built for various custoemers using customized webservices for each customer. The structure of the web service doesnt change, but we need to dynamicly change the path the source code will find the wsdl when compiling the software for a customer.
Any help in pointing me in the right direction would be appreciated. I am new to java development, and am learning on the fly. If by chance annotations are not the right method for solutioning this, would anyone have any pointers?
Thank you,
Steve

Why aren't you using a configuration (and possibly an annotation that is used at runtime). Spring webservices does something like that.

What's the best MacBook for basic graphic editing?

Hi there,
I've been saving up to finally get a MacBook after having a pro during university (stupidly it got soaked in my bag during a thunderstorm and didn't have any insurance on it). However, I'm trying to save as much money as I can so can't afford the high end laptops.
All I need for the MacBook to do is run the following programs without it becoming slow in the long run:
Adobe Photoshop CC
Adobe Dreamweaver CC
Adobe InDesign CC
Microsoft Office Home & Business
The basic system requirements for the Adobe CC programs are:
Multicore Intel processor with 64-bit support
Mac OS X v10.7, v10.8, or v10.9
2GB of RAM
3.2GB of available hard-disk space
1280x1024 display with 16-bit video card
QuickTime 7.6.6 software required for HTML5 media playback
All I need it for is templating and editing newsletters as well as creative posters/flyers/brochures.
I'm deciding whether I should just get the basic 13-inch MacBook Air, 13-inch Macbook Pro (with Retina display) or 2.5GHz Mac mini? Bear in mind that I'll have to purchase the Micrsoft Office program (approx. £157 on Amazon) & get a screen/keyboard/mouse with the Mac Mini).
I have around £1,000 to spend and really unsure as to what to buy.
Please note, I am not interested in buying a Windows equivelant (as I cannot stand Windows 8/8.1).
Thanks!

Any of those Macs will meet the basic specs for Office and Adobe. The real question is how you configure what you buy, based on how you are going to use the programs. The system requirements listed are definitely basic. They are about as basic as saying that you could buy a 2-seater Smart Car as your transportation: You could, but you'd be very limited in what you could do.
If you are going to run any one program at a time, the base model of any of those Macs (4GB RAM) will be fine. But working on newsletters and flyers, for efficiency's sake you will probably have more than one program open at a time: Word for preparing text, Photoshop for preparing photos, and Dreamweaver or InDesign where you lay it all out, going back and forth between them. That increases your RAM needs. 8GB would be a good place to be, but if you can afford to buy with the maximum amount of RAM that would help future-proof the Mac (since future versions of software always need more RAM, not less).
Having more RAM is more critical if you plan to use Photoshop for fancy stuff like cameras with lots of megapixels, raw editing, panoramas, HDR, or 3D. If you are just doing basic photo editing, 8GB RAM is fine. The other software you listed doesn't need as much RAM so more than one of them will run fine together under 8GB RAM.
If you get a MacBook Air or MacBook Pro, they start with only 128GB storage and it cannot be upgraded. That might not be enough space in the long run if you use a lot of graphics files and photos, so think about specifying at least 256GB storage in whatever you buy if your newsletter projects are large and you don't want to store them on external drives. The Mac mini starts out with a nice big hard drive.
What it will probably come down to is, spec out all three models you are considering with at least 8GB RAM and as much storage as you will need during the life of the computer, then pick the one that fits your budget. If you need portability, cross off the Mac mini.

What is the best server for my business?

Please see our current set up:
I work for a company that hosts a corporate site and multiple sub sites (drupal)currently about 10 sub sites but always expanding
We have a shared hosting account with our provider and a g5 powerpc running mac osx 10.5 on our local server
2.5Ghz processor
2g Ram
Dual core processor I believe?
At times our web browsing can be very slow
We have approx. 20,000 users in our database that will be accessing most of our microsites and corporate site
We share documents and filesword, excel, and a lot of graphic files (psd's, eps's, etc.)
What we want:
We would like to store everything locally to increase security
We would love increased speed in comparision to what we're used to now
We may be interested in the various lion osx server features but our major concerns are listed above
What would you recommend we get for a server knowing our expectations
What other benefits are there from having an in-house server as oppose to renting one through a provider

The first place to start looking is your network topology: what is your backbone connection to the WAN (Internet) and your internal LAN configuration?
Serving multiple sites to the WAN is not a problem providing that you have sufficient outbound bandwidth to serve the connections without bandwidth choking. A few (2-10) sites with low loads (requests) can be served through business-class DSL or cable; beyond that, start looking at T1 or better backbones.
Internally, in this day and age, having Gigabit Ethernet backbone is almost the standard; 100BaseT is okay.
Server-wise, your box is getting aged and newer hardware is going to give you better performance as well as software compatibility. Spreading services load (DNS, Web, Email, OpenDirectory) across two or more servers will keep one box from lagging on requests.
Lion Server is capable of serving your needs - a couple of Mini's w/Lion Server could work - but I'd also suggest you examine other hardware and OS (like Ubuntu Server) as also viable options.
I understand the desire to move things internally. You gain the benefits you mentioned. But you also become responsible for security and backup of all your sites, files and systems. Look long before you make the move - it requires research, planning and dedication to take on being a full-on SysAdmin..

Is a guest network with password the best choice for tenants?

My mom bought a new Airport Extreme 802.11n to use when she switches from AT&T to Time Warner. Everyone uses PCs. I'm assuming that allowing my mom's tenants access as guests will keep them out of my mom's network.
However, are there security problems associated with the tenants using the network to gain access to one another's computers?
Also, my mom paid her computer guy to set up her AT&T router. Is this necessary for setting up the Airport Extreme with reasonable security?

Is Dreamweaver the best choice for...

making small edits to css, ajax, and php in a dynamic website? The site (soffe.com) is a dynamic site built on a Websphere platform, and I have Dreamweaver via the Creative Suite but have not used it yet. Is there anyone who can take a look at what aspects of managing the site assets I can best leverage Dreamweaver for during redesign efforts? I know there are other great Adobe products out there, but right now we're using an patchwork of different products and I'd like to streamline our operations utilizing great Adobe software we already have. Thoughts and recommendations are welcome!

We don't have a CMS really, although there are different applications for building functionality from the Websphere environ on the backend. It's a very powerful platform, but we do end up doing having to do our tasks "dual". For example, just changing out a link means we have to do it in the php but also on the backend in Websphere, which doubles the work to do a simple task like changing a link. However, I'm going through the Dreamweaver help files and it appears that it would definitely be helpful in managing the assets, especially. Our biggest issue is going to be seeing if a file is already open and being edited by another person at the same time. This has been an issue.
Thanks for your feedback, Murray!
