Just added Ram (total of 10GB) and Motion ate it all up...........

What can I change my HDV footage to for better performance in Motion? What kind of footage are you guys working with?
I tried changing it to ProRes 422 and building a project but it still played very slow.
I am very unhappy with it playing 2 fps for just adding total of 10GB of Ram.
I just simply have to play the (HDV) footage with nothing on it and I watch the Ram go from 1GB to 9.50GB. These are only 2 minute projects.

David,
I did at one time convert the HDV footage to ProRes, and Final Cut wasn't able to play 4 streams of video in the Multi-cam editor.
(I think my hard-drive was not able to play all that information at once) What do you think?
You would need a RAID configuration to play that many full rez streams but that's why FCP has the ProRes Proxy workflow. You work at lower rez with lots of streams and then recapture (or reconform) at full rez.

  • Just added a 30 inch monitor and have a 23 inch flat screen. slow?

    Just added a 30 inch monitor and have a 23 inch flat screen. I have 6 gigs of D RAM, and run Parallels which I give 2 gig's to. Since adding the 30 inch Apple monitor and upgraded video card the Mac is running slow. Anyone know why? Should I add 2 gigs more of memory?
    Thanks in advance!
    Mark

    He's asking what are those things you are using, i.e., ...
    What video card are you using?
    What version of OSX are you using?
    What model of mac pro are you using (e.g., 2010 Mac Pro is 5,1).
    And also,
    Try smc and pram reset.
    And see if the monitor lites up if you boot in safe mode.
    It is possible your monitor simply failed -- its power supply or something else.

  • I'm trying to get organized and I just added a bunch of books and pdfs to my itunes library. They were all added immediately to my ipad and iphone even though, itunes automatically putting books on my idevices

    I'm trying to get organized and I just added a bunch of books and pdfs to my itunes library. They were all added immediately to my ipad and iphone even though I did not want this. I added them to itunes using add to library and I have both devices set to sync only selected books.
    How do I do this in the future so this doesnt happen? Its a lot of work to now manually erase them from each device and it sent my phone over capacity.
    thanks

    I dont see the difference in the posts. I dont think theres anything inaccurate or misleading about what I wrote. The items were immediately added to my ipad and my iphone, even though I have them both set to sync only select items. As soon as I added new titles to my itunes library, they were immediately added to the devices. Not on the next sync. Immediately. Both devices were plugged into the computer at the time. Sorry if I failed to mention they were plugged in but I dont see the signifigance youre making out of it. The problem persists anyway.
    Now that I did a test without the devices plugged in, the new items were still added as soon as I plugged my devices into the computer ( I do not have them set to sync over wifi).
    Since I have both devices set to manually select items to sync, of course I want to manually select new items to sync. For instance, I am not going to read any of these magazines or books on my phone, ever, and I dont want to waste valuable space with them.
    So I'm trying your advice:
    I just tried deselecting sync books. It erased all content from ibooks on my device. I then dragged
    one title onto the device, and it just goes back to syncing select books, with the one title selected.
    It appears that wont work to solve my issue. The next time I add something to itunes it will be put on my phone. Is this really something most people want? To select to manualy control what content is synced, but then have things automatically added. It seems inconsistent to me.

  • I just added two external firewire drives and they keep going to sleep.  I did not have this problem when USB.  I have turned off "put disks to sleep" in power preference.

    I just added two external firewire drives and they keep going to sleep.  I did not have this problem when using USB external drives.  I have turned off "put disks to sleep" in power preference.

    It is not clear if these are the same drives, just connected
    differently, or different drives?
    One thing that may be happening is that the drives firmware
    itself is putting it to sleep when inactive.  Many drives on
    the market have ths feature and it is turned on by default
    and require a drive utility from the manufacturer to disable it.

    Welcome to the Apple Community.
    You can re-download content purchased from the iTunes store (availability varies depending on location) using the purchased option which is revealed in the iTunes app on your iOS device by tapping the more button at the bottom of the screen.

  • HT3529 my iphone just stop connecting to my wifi and i have tried all the recommended troubleshooting with no success. Also when i send a text , it shows it coming from my email address instead of my cell #. i cant get a text going to my cell #. help

    my iphone just stopped connecting to my wifi and i have tried all the recommended troubleshooting with no success. Also when i send a text , it shows it coming from my email address instead of my cell #.  i dont receive any text going to my cell #. help

    If i understand what you are saying then you are seeing the WiFi indicator after connecting but Apps are saying that they are not connected to the internet?
    Your router may not have given your iPod a valid IP address. Go to Settings > Wifi > your network name and touch the ">" to the right to see the network details. If the IP address starts with 169 or is blank then your router didn't provide an IP address and you won't be able to access the Internet.
    Sometimes the fix can be to restart your router (remove power for 30 seconds and restart). Next, reset network settings on your iPod (Settings > General > Reset > Reset network settings) and then attempt to connect. In other cases it might be necessary to update the router's firmware with the latest from the manufacturer's support web pages.
    If you need more help please give more details on your network, i.e., your router make, model and version, the wifi security being used (WEP, WPA, WPA2), etc.

  • I just upgraded to the iOS 5 and icloud, but now all my pictures are gone! How do I get them back?

    I have an iphone and just upgraded to the iOS 5 and icloud, but now all my pictures are gone! How do I get them back?? It's weird because it said with the upgrade your photos would be kept, but apps would be erased, yet my apps synced over and not my pictures...

    I have EXACTLY the same issue.  I would appreciate the response also.  Was not prepared for this.

  • Just subscribed to CC for educators and my apps are all working as trials and asking for for a key.

    Just subscribed to CC for educators and my apps are all working as trials and asking for for a key.
    I had a trial before subscribing yet even after logging in with my email which is used for the CC account I continue to get a count down or an expression for applications who should already be unlocked.
    How do I go about correcting this? Uninstalling and reinstalling has not made a difference.
    I'm able to log into my adobe account and get promoted "You're already subscribed to the Creative Cloud Student and Teacher edition (one-year)" when prompted to "BUY" by the app

    There is no billing issue.
    The CC does not needs any serial number, it is based on Adobe ID.
    In case you are being asked for serial number then you can refer to.
    Creative Cloud applications ask for serial number

  • We just added Maverick to our Mac and now the magic mouse will not scroll with finger tips!!

    We just upgraded our system to Maverick. Now our majic mouse does not respond to the finger swipe at all.
    Also the volume contro;s stopped working on the wireless keyboard.

    Hi davidgraham193,
    Thanks for visiting Apple Support Communities.
    If your Magic Mouse is not scrolling, first go to the Mouse section of System Preferences and try toggling the "Scroll direction: natural" checkbox to see if it has an effect.
    Scroll direction: natural:
    Select this option to move the contents of a window the same direction as your fingers.

  • I just upgraded my Norton Internet Security and I've lost ALL my bookmarks and add-ons. The add-ons aren't a big deal, but can I get my bookmarks back?

    After rebooting my PC to finish Norton's installation, I opened Firefox and all of my bookmarks and add-ons were gone. My persona was also missing, too. Is there any way to remedy this without having to go through and re-bookmark every page?
    I also found an article entitled, "Bookmarks and toolbar buttons not working after upgrading," to which I was redirected after clicking on the link "Configuring Norton 360" from the article "Lost Bookmarks." However, it says that "This article is no longer maintained, so its content might be out of date."

    Thanks, but I checked iCloud and it has none of them.
    If it backed up to my laptop, that died and I just got the new computer. The one that's crashed won't even boot, so there's no way to even tell if it was syncing the contacts along with all the phone photos. Literally happened at the same time - it was because I had the new computer that I was finally able to pull the photos off the phone and make room for the upgrade. It had refused to upgrade for lack of space for some time.
    I had thought it was set to sync to iCloud but it vanished from BOTH my phone and the cloud. That's why I'm so angry about it.
