Just curious: What do you all guys use FCP for?

Just wondering.
Does everybody work in TV or production companies. FCP is such a powerful tool... Only people working for TV networks and cables use it, right?

Sometimes it's used as a paperweight, sometimes it's used as a room heater. And sometimes I use it as my personal hair stylist, it gives me this little "gray" highlights! So many uses!
Back to your question, not necessarly. I've used it for Feature Films. I've worked on shows that were all offlined of FCP and Finished on Final Cut. some of them do their VFX I/O through Final Cut.
I've done work on 2 Feature Films on FCP. Blonde and Blonder and Christmas in Wonderland. So it goes beyond television and news.

  • What do you think about using exceptions for something more than errors

    if you look the java.lang.Exception description at the JDK javadoc, you can see the following text:
    "The class Exception and its subclasses are a form of Throwable that indicates conditions that a reasonable application might want to catch."
    ... we can�t see "error" word anywhere!!
    What do you think about using exceptions for something more than errors? Can be possible use them as a way for send information to upper layers?
    Thankx in regards...

    it seems that what you say is a functional way of achiveing that, yes
    but Exceptions are generally reserverd for "Exceptional" situations ie program messing up or invalid data
    it does require a fair bit of processor time to actually generate and throw an Exception.
    so, all in all its "better" to use "normal" condition flow control to achive what you want.. you can always return early, break loops, call methods to pass information

  • So what do you all do?

    I've picked up over the past year or so that I've been relatively active here, that we've got users of PrPro who do all sorts of work. Just curious, what do y'all do for your primary jobs, and how does PrPro work into your job?
    I'm the media specialist for Bryan College, a four-year liberal arts college in Dayton, TN. I'm responsible for all the promotional video for the college, but frequently get re-tasked to other things like graphic design, web development, and other things pertaining to advancement and fundraising for the college. I got my start owning a recording studio and doing live sound, and transitioned to video when I got hired at Bryan in 2008. I use PrPro almost daily (except for the past nine months when I was working on the college's new website).
    In addition to working at Bryan, I hire myself and our equipment out to local organizations and companies to do video production. I've done pro-bono productions for our local Rotary, did a paid production for The United Way here in our county, and am finishing up a paid commercial production for La-Z-Boy.

    I am owner operator of a small production company in Auckland , New Zealand.
    Company is based around me as a Cameraman / Director....( "its all about me")
    Crew and most resources are out sourced on a production by production basis.
    Have small pack shot studio, HD cameras, some lighting and grip gear, some audio record gear.
    There are now 2 operational edit suites ( All Adobe - Windows) - plus fully functional CS2 and CS3 systems if they need to be fired up for legacy projects.
    Generally we work cross platform with other facilties.  Works very well
    Web site tells you more or less what we do  and shows  demo reels.

    I also freelance as D.P , Director or aerial cameraman specialist

  • I accidentally deleted my iPhoto when i empty my trash? i think 1year ago.i want it back but i heard that its difficult...my 2nd option is i'll buy iPhoto from apps. what do you think guys? thank you and god bless!

    i accendentaly deleted my iphoto when i empty my trash. i think 1 year ago. i want it back but they say its difficult. now i think i'll buy iphoto to apps. what do you think guys??? ty and god bless!

    A bunch of totally different questions
    iPhoto is an application and it is in your applications folder - is it there? It must be in teh Applications folder on your boot drive - it can not be on an external drive
    The photos are kept in the iPhoto library (by default and highly recommended) - is that what you deleted? It can be anyplace by by default it is in your pictrues folder
    Time Machine is a backup program that backuse your your Mac - you do NOT directly access its backup files but you use the Time Machine application to restore files - see http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1427?viewlocale=en_US&locale=en_US for details
    Your post is not at all clear as to what you have or what you want to do
    If in fact you do have a copy of the photos on an external hard drive as you say you thikyou do them you launch iPhoto and import them to iPhoto (file menu import  --  or drag them to the iPhoto icon in the Dock)
    If you have a time machine backup of your iPhoto library and you want to use that then you launch TM and go to the time you wna tto restore from, select the iPhoto library and click restore
    If the above does not cover what you have and what you want please post back with exact details of what you have and what you want to do

  • As a second browser, what do you all recommend?

    Firefox?
    Camino?
    Opera?
    other?
    What do you all suggest as a second browser in addition to my faithful Safari for use with Tiger?
    Thanks,
    Mrs H

    I've recently switched over to Firefox from Safari, which I'm using pretty exclusively now, only because you can run an add on from there called NoScript. NoScript prevents many potential web based exploits and keeps ad and data tracking services like doubleclick and others out. And as a default, which can easily be changed per site, it also keeps out Flash (and annoying Flash ads). NoScript can be a bit of a pain to get used to at first. But It learns your preferences as you visit sites, and after a while pretty much gets out of the way. It can still be a little annoying, but it's worth it.
    http://noscript.net/
    The other add on I run with FF is called WOT or Web of Trust which rates sites according to several different criteria. It gives you some idea what you might be getting into so you can be forewarned. It will even show ratings for sites resulting from a Google search.
    http://www.mywot.com/
    There's also available an add on called AdBlock Plus, maybe not quite as important as the other two, but I also run it.
    Many are also of the opinion that Firefox is just a safer browser than Safari and that Apple is slow to implement fixes for known or potential exploits.
    If only these, or something like them were available for Safari, which I still basically prefer. Safari does seem to run a little faster than Firefox for me. It all seems to depend on the particular configuration which browser will run faster. But I've decided that safety trumps speed.
    It's a little inconvenient, but it doesn't take that long to move passwords over from Safari manually. Just open up Keychain and look at them there. You can also, automatically, import all your Safari bookmarks.

  • Hi Dude,     I ve seen all the threads from first to last even am gonna geta iphone 4s from Thailand. Would like to know which sim will be working fine in chennai as you all are using d phone for past many days???  Is it advisable to buy a phone

    Hi Dude,
    I ve seen all the threads from first to last even am gonna get a iphone 4s from Thailand. Would like to know which sim will be working fine in chennai as you all are using d phone for past many days???  Is it advisable to buy a phone from abroad.

    Thanks for that. Much more constructive than the last comment. It's only the restriction code I can't recall, not the access passcode. So I can currently access the device, just not age restricted content. Does that's make a difference? I also wondered if anyone knew how many attempts you get to try to get it right. Now tried 21 times and so far nothing bad has happened but I am concerned I'll eventually be completely locked out of the device. That doesn't seem in the spirit of things though. Surely it's foreseeable that a child could repeatedly try to guess the code so I can't see that it would be right to lock the device down completely in that circumstance, particularly if the access code is being typed in correctly every time.
    Thanks

  • What do you think about using plant in this way?

    In your systems each plant is "real" - has real location and real manager, or also you have “virtual” plants to monitor a particular special process (for example: if you want different FI bookings for the same material movement type, or if you want to track special kinds of stock)?
    What do you think about using plant in this way?

    Hello Friend,
    It is surely a good step from FI point off view but creating something virtual and transacting on it, from MM point of view is not feasible as it is difficult to frame the scenario and work on it.
    Rest is your decision.

  • What is the benefit in using OID for names resolution?

    I have been wondering about this for awhile. I have been working on getting this to work in Iplanet along with Pat Lehane ([email protected]), and it works now.
    What are the benefits in using OID for names resolution when you can just use the static tnsnames.ora. Database and database names are not created dynamically and they don't change that often. Would creates a new database every day and has to worry about changing the static tnsnames.ora file. In my environment, we run Oracle applications from a server, so there is only one tnsnames.ora file, on the file server.
    It would appear that using OID would cause extra traffic (LDAP lookups) on your network.
    I would like some opinions from both Oracle and Oracle users. Thanks

    hi,
    A benefit of using OID for names resolution is that it allows you to centralize net8 naming (i.e., tnsnames) information in the same place (OID) where other types of administrative information (about users, enterprise groups, enterprise roles, etc) gets stored. If you are more comfortable using tnsnames.ora files for net8 naming, that is perfectly fine!
    An important reason that Oracle had for providing Net8 naming functionality in OID is that the legacy 'Oracle Names' functionality of Oracle 7 will eventually be desupported. This is discussed in metalink Note #135696.1 on http://metalink.oracle.com .
    Hope this helps.

  • HT201342 what is the benefit to using @icloud for email

    Just wondering what the benefit is to using @icloud.com vs @me.com?

    None, really.  It's just an additional address that you can use if you want.  Email sent to either address arrives in the same inbox.  Apple is no longer providing @me or @mac email addresses, and is transitioning to @icloud going forward so they're giving existing iCloud users the new address as an option.

  • What is best all in one printer for my new MacBook Pro ? Needs to make very high quality photos.

    What is best all in one printer for my new MacBook Pro ? Needs to make very high quality photos. Using USB connection.

    That's a difficult one but I'd always go for HP as they make so many excellent models that you'll always be able to buy the cartridges from almost anyone.  Theyre darn good printer too.  I have four in the office here and one of them is a very neat flatbed with exceptionally high tonal qualities.  One of their cheaper models is the HP 5520 A4 inkjet all-in-one - CMYK.  Good value at £70 and 4800 x 1200 DPI. 

  • What do you think about Quick Office for the IPad

    What do you think about Quick Office for the IPad

    You could also have a look at the following www.rollapp.com, I have only recently found it.
    You have access to the full OpenOffice and LibreOffice library of program's  and it syncs with Dropbox,google docs and others.
    You do require an Internet connection as it is cloud based.
    At present I have only used it for quick editing but I think it definitely looks promising and it is free

  • What do you suggest I use?

    I have been trying to make something like this using scatter brushes but it doesn't seem to be as nifty or organized. I'm thinking I might have to make it manually, unless somebody else suggests something I can actually use.
    What do you guys think I should try?

    I am if you do not know a little dyslexic or perhaps a lot so that should have been the stainer tool.
    I've done a little video
    http://mysite.verizon.net/wzphoto/SymbolsB.mov
    and then after your use the sprayer and the stainer you can consider the sizer tool as well.
    These tools are made specifically to do this type of thing.
    Here is a screen shot of what you can do with the sizer tool all the tools in the symbol pack have settings.

  • What do you Mac users use, financially?

    I love my ipad, and iphone but I'am tied to my pc because of the lack of bill paying software for the MacBooks. What do you who have the Mac products use? I have used Quicken for years and is the only thing holding me back from the Mac.

    If you are in the states, there is a Quicken for Mac:
    http://support.intuit.ca/quicken/en-ca/iq/Install-Quicken/Mac-Version-for-Quicke n/GEN81603.html
    Elsewhere, you can simply use Bootcamp to install Windows for your non-Mac software. Then use Parallels Desktop or VMware Fusion so you won't have to reboot in Windows. They interate well with the OS X shell and you would feel almost as if you are running Windows software in OS X natively.
    Apart from Quicken, I recommend Mint. It's for Money Management, it's free and it is available on Mac, iPhone and iPad. Good budget management and transaction tracking capabilities and it's also owned by the same company who builds Quicken (Intuit). It doesn't pay bills but it does give you notifications on bills due. A lot of other neat features as well.
    You can download it from Mac App Store, iOS App Store or just use the online version at mint.com.

  • What do you recommend to use as an offline data store, since SQL CE support is not in VS 2013?

    A few years back I was architecting an occasionally connected .Net desktop application. 
    VS 2010 was offering full support for Microsoft Sync Framework and SQL CE with Entity Framework. 
    This seemed like the perfect marriage, so I ran with it, and the resulting software solution is still successfully running in production, years later. 
    Jump forward to today, and I am architecting a new occasionally connected .Net desktop application. 
    I was really looking forward to taking advantage of the advances made by Microsoft in using the tools built into VS 2013. 
    However, what I discovered has dumbfounded me.  VS 2013 has no designer support for Sync Framework, and worse, built in support for SQL CE has been completely removed, including the ability to generate Entity Framework models from a
    CE database using the designer. 
    My question to the community is, what tools should I be using to solve the problem of offline storage in my brand new .Net application? 
    I am aware of ErikEJ’s SQL Server Compact Toolbox, which brings back some support for these features in VS 2013, but it is not as fully featured as the VS 2010 native support was, plus it does not have the institutional “Microsoft” stamp on it. 
    I am building a multimillion dollar corporate solution that I will have to support for many years.
     I would like to have some comfort that the technologies I select, today, will still be supported 5 years from now, unlike the way Microsoft has discontinued supporting Sync Framework and CE in the most recent VS. 
    I can accept open source technologies, because there is a community behind them, or off the shelf corporate solutions, since they will be driven by financial gain, but I have trouble committing to a solution that is solely supported by an individual,
    even if that person is a very talented Microsoft MVP.
    Some of the features of SQL CE that I would like to keep are
    Built in encryption of the file on disk
    Easy querying with an ORM, like Entity Framework
    Tools to easily sync up the offline data store with values from SQL Server (even better if this can be done remotely, such as over WCF)
    Does not require installation of additional software on the client machine, as SQL Express would
    Please, provide your feedback to let me know how you have achieved this, without resorting to simply using an older version of VS or Management Studio. 
    Thank you.

    Hello,
    Based on your description, you can try to use SQL Server 2012 Express LocalDB.
    LocalDB is created specifically for developers. It is very easy to install and requires no management, but it offers the same T-SQL language, programming surface and client-side providers as the regular SQL Server Express.
    SQL Server LocalDB can work with Entity Framework and ADO.NET Syc Framework. However, there is no built-in encryption feature in LocalDB which
    can let you encrypt database. You should decrypt/encrypt data on your own, for example, using
    Cryptographic Functions
    Reference:SQL Express v LocalDB v SQL Compact Edition
