Learning New Features in FCS3

I'm certified in several Final Cut Studio 2 applications, and I'm (hopefully) about to pass a few final tests to receive a Master status. I'm wondering if anyone knows if Apple offers any kind of training or classes to help people learn just the NEW features of the FCS3 software in order to prepare for the new exams. I'm asking because I'd rather not invest in the whole line of new training books just to get the same information that has only 15% new material. The trouble is, the exams are written from those books, so the books (or classes) are the only practical way to prepare for the tests. I'm hoping someone had similar issues as me when they released FCS2. Thanks for the help in advance.

No, I'm afraid not. Gotta buy the new books.
The only break you'll get - at least going by past experience - is if you have a Level 2 certification (FCP, in most cases, where you're required to take a class), Apple will let you take the Level 2 exam for the new version of FCP at a discounted rate and, most importantly, without having to take another class provided you do it within a certain grace period. Those 'instructions' (for Level 2) are provided in an email sent out once the new Level 2 test is ready. At least they were in the past.

  • NEW FEATURE IN OLM - Provide option to launch learning object in new window

    NEW FEATURE IN OLM - Provide option to launch a learning object in a new window from the player
    Background:
    When content is launched from Oracle Learning Management, it is presented within the Oracle Learning Management player frameset. If the content is not on the same server as Oracle Learning Management, this can cause issues with content that is not "frame-friendly". In order to work around this issue in the past, customers either needed to modify their content to be frame-friendly, or create a "splash" page to load in the Oracle Learning Management player, which in turn would open a new window displaying the content. This also caused integration compatibility issues with Oracle Collaboration Suite 10g Web Conferencing.
    Feature:
    This new feature eliminates the need to utilize a splash page or modify content that is not frame-friendly, as it allows you to safely open the content in a separate window from the Oracle Learning Management player, while maintaining all tracking capabilities.
    The new Open in New Window check box is provided on the learning object properties page.
    When the learner launches a learning object where this check box is checked, the player opens as normal and presents a "splash" page with some instructional text. This splash page then opens a new window for the content.
    The splash page also checks for the presence of a pop-up blocker that may block the new window from opening. If this occurs, the learner receives an alert indicating that a pop-up blocker has prevented the content window from opening.
    Action/Notes:
    By default, the Open in New Window check box is NOT selected for any learning object, whether created before or after the patch is applied. Therefore, if you do not plan to use this feature, no action is necessary.
    For those customers who do want to take advantage of this feature, you must edit your learning objects individually and select the Open in New Window check box on the learning object properties page.
    This new feature is independent of the Open in New Window check box in the player preferences section of the offering properties page, which opens the player in a separate window. If both check boxes are selected, the Oracle Learning Management player opens in a separate window, then the content opens in another separate window.
    Availability:
    * Installed or OnDemand Customers -- This patch is available now via Metalink. Patch # 5943165
    Enjoy!
    The Oracle Learning Product Management Team

    Please,
    I need help, I don´t know why the next message display "cannot display the page", just some seconds, after display the course.
    Do you know why??, is some problem configuration or connection??

    Hello,
    Versions 3.1.1 and 3.1.2 are actually patched version of APEX 3.1. As such, they don’t introduce new features, but mainly fix bugs from the main release. If you want to learn specific details about these versions, you should read the readme file attached to the patch set files (on metalink).
    It’s always best to work with the latest patched version, as it reduces your chances to encounter bugs. In general, so far the new APEX versions added many new features and technologies, while maintaining backward compatibility, so existing applications functionality is not impaired. Personally, I don’t see any reason not to upgrade and use the latest version, certainly when you are comparing 3.1 to 3.1.2.
    Regards,
    Arie.

    Hello,
    I used to get informed on skype when a new version is launched, but now I dont. I noticed it when I delete skype and re-install again from the site for a reason. Also I want to learn about the new features via e-mail. What should I do?
    Regards

    To manually check for new updates, you can click the Check Update option in the Help menu in the Skype software window.  Then if there are new versions released and you want to know what new features are added in that release, you can check the Skype Blog's Garage section -

  • Better process for introducing new features and explaining how they work

    There are all kinds of new features being added to the Creative Cloud app but knowing what they are and learning about how they work isn't the most user friendly process. The current process is read the release notes after updating to a new version. The release notes should hyperlink to the related features in the product help. It would be great if there was a "What's New" section for the Creative Cloud app itself with new releases which included an introduction to new features just like there is for the desktop products.

    This is a poorly explained reason about why is so important having a loupe in Photoshop. I've not also, used the best example, but I will. This belongs to the ADDITIONAL FEATURES: Loupe/Magnificator View:. Also, I will try to make my english clrearer, but here it goes:

    Hi Anurag,
    Thanks for your questions.
    1:Is there change in DB architecture as CUIC is the only option as compared to previous linux version UCCX ?
    I assume this is from the tables regarding historical data. The database schema essentially remains the same since UCCX 9.0 had CUIC too and we had a seperate DB Space for CUIC and we still continue with that. The traditional historical tables remain and the replication process remains the same too.
    2:Is there any version change for Linux OS used as VOS,
    The Linux version is Red Hat Linux 5. To be precise:
    [root@uccx10pub /]# cat etc/redhat-release
    Red Hat Enterprise Linux Server release 5.7 (Tikanga)
    3:Is there any API architecture change in UCCX 10 from previous releases ?
    I can answer this more of an overview. The only enhancement in the API side is the introduction of REST API step in the script editor. You can now make REST calls from the script and this ofcourse opens up a whole new world of possiblities.
    4:Since from UCCX 10 , we can only use either CAD or Finnesse at one  time, whats the impact of changing this after some time in production,  let say , i used CAD for 2 months and then i decided to move to Finesse,  whats the impact ? or is it a smooth change as switching CUIC and HRC  in previoius release ?
    For the scenario you mentioned, there is absolutely no problem. The point to note is that the Finesse services are activated/deactivated but the CAD desktop services are ALWAYS running. The only condition to keep in mind is that you can use ONLY ONE type of agent desktop at any time.  Also if Finesse is not used and CAD operations are used extensively, it is advisable to shutdown the Finesse service.
    5:Is 3rd Party UCS hardware supported by UCCX 10 instead of using Cisco manufactured UCS , can i use HP hardware for Virtualisation ?
    Yes, it can be used. This is something called as "Third party specs based specification". The most important things seen for compatibility are:
    Inter CPU Model
    It it is on thVMWare Hardware Compatibilty List
    You can get more information about this on the "Can I use this server?" section of UC Virtualized Hardware page:
    http://docwiki.cisco.com/wiki/UC_Virtualization_Supported_Hardware#.22Can_I_use_this_server.3F.22
    6:Is Host name change supported?
    Yes, the hostname change is supported. The prcocedure is documented in the UCCX 10.0 Administration Guide:
    http://www.cisco.com/en/US/docs/voice_ip_comm/cust_contact/contact_center/crs/express_10_0/configuration/guide/UCCX_BK_W1AF9DDD_00_uccx-admin-guide-10.0.pdf (Pg 168)

  • 1Z0-045: Oracle Database 10g: New Features for Oracle 8i OCPs

    Hi,
    I was looking for right reference book for the 1z0-045 upgrade certification. I could not find any reference book that is related to this certification. Only one book have found out on Amazon site, which is "OCP Oracle Database 10g: New Features for Administrators Exam Guide (Oracle Press) (Paperback)" published by McGraw Hill.
    But this book does not show exem number 1z0-045 anywhere. So I am not sure, is it a right book to buy.
    Please let me know if any one has any knowledge about that.
    I appreciate for your information.
    Thanks
    Amit

    The book you mention is for those individuals who are upgrading their 9i OCP to the 10g OCP. Since you are apparently upgrading from 8i OCP, there is possibly a gap in your learning. You might want to take a look at OCP Oracle9i Database: New Features for Administrators Exam Guide (Paperback) which explains the new features for Oracle 9i to someone coming from an 8i background. No additional exam would be needed in your case but this book may help to fill out your knowledge a bit. You could also take a look at http://download.oracle.com/docs/cd/B10501_01/server.920/a96531/toc.htm if you would rather not buy an additional book.

  • No new features for no Creative Cloud users? Tell me why?

    Adobe, please tell me why I, no Cloud Crative user don't receive new Illustrator CS6 features:
    - Package files
    - Unembed images
    - Links informations
    Why Creative Cloud users are better than users who bought box version? it's not fair.

    @Wade
    What a bunch of babble and marketing talk for Adobe! You do realize there are other services (far better ones actually) than YouSendIt, don't you? In the YouSendIt category, try WeTransfer.com : super fast uploads and downloads up to 2gb in one RAR or ZIP file at a time.
    You have heard about DropBox, SkyDrive, GoogleDrive, etc. too, haven't you? Without going into the pros and cons of any of those services, I can categorically say that each one is better... and cheaper... than an Adobe Cloud sub.
    And since you're talking about the world, and complaining at the same time about your upload speeds, that remains the same for the Adobe Cloud or any Internet service for that matter. Adobe Cloud is NOT faster than any of the above services I mentioned.
    Also you should know that there are many parts of the world, including HUGE chunks of the US, where broadband Internet still doesn't exist. There are some places that may never see broadband land lines, and those communities are installing LTE instead. LTE has it's advantages... but the main disadvantage is cost. No such thing as a "true Flat rate" with LTE, and you are bound to run up against "volume restrictions" and pay extra for exheeding them. No advantage then for Cloud users: they will pay on top.
    I personally use DropBox and SkyDrive syncing projects and files with assorted clients every day... including huge PSD and RAW file libraries. If I have a "one off" project, I use WeTransfer with no problems. If you have a client that refuses to learn the first thing about downloading files from a link, I'm sorry for you. I mean that without sarcasm. I would like to ask though: are they actually then playing with your native files in CS? Really? And they can't even download a linked ZIP? (See my comment below about suspects).
    You fail to convince me in the end, that Adobe's Cloud Drive is the best choice at the moment or in the future.
    Considering this thread is/was about Perpetual vs. Cloud subs, no one has mentioned the main underlying fact and potential reason for Adobe to push people to Subs: PIRACY.
    While very possibly not prevalent in North America... I would venture to say that in the rest of the world, 75% of CS installations are against the EULA, whether multiple machine installs and/or downright pirated. BTW: I have personally ran across the "multiple machine" install countless times at more shops/studios than I care to mention.
    I would like to add a "twisted logic" to my personally accepting the new Adobe Subs as the way to go, and especially for new features.
    IF (big if!) this is to cut down on piracy and the number of studios/shops driving media design/printing prices into the basement, because they don't actually "pay" for their right to offer their services....  I'm all for it! If this also results in the culling of people that think that, with a Walmart computer and a jacked CS disk image, they are "now in business to offer professional graphic services"... again, I applaud the Cloud initiative.
    It surely appears that I'm bitter about the "competition"... well yes I am. Because, not only are the pirates NOT competing fairly, but I (personally) have to deal with problems they make for my clients  and the "trash" files they receive on a daily basis. It is also many of those clients that are perpetually licensed CS and EULA abiding Adobe customers, that are slowly laying off trained professional graphic/media designers as well as print technicians... because they are "too expensive".
    And finally to add insult to injury: I also suspect we see a number of these "pirates" and "just beginning professionals" here in these forums. The number of posts I see coming from some people that shouldn't even have CS installed, is... well... disheartening.*
    * Funny, how as graphic designers, we were always wishing for faster, better, cheaper, easier. How little did we realize or fail to foresee, that when the dream came true... it would also be accessible to the "I can too" crowd. Is it nasty of me to say in return, "No. You can't. And I doubt you ever will. It's not the tools, it's the talent. You have none that I can see."
    PS. Sorry... sort of worn out and emotional after staying up until 3.00am to "re-design" a thoroughly "#$%^&*!!!" Corel PDF! Fugly has a brand new definition, and "pro-" is followed by "-stitution". I need to shower 3 times after this one!

  • Clarification on new feature in OBIEE 10.1.3.4 - Metadata Dictionary

    Hi,
    I need clarification on this new feature "Metadata Dictionary" available in 10.1.3.4. This is documented in the OBIEE NEw Feature Guide, http://download.oracle.com/docs/cd/E10415_01/doc/bi.1013/e10416.pdf, page 17.
    I have a potential customer who wants to know if OBIEE has a facility to help business user come up to speed with the available subject areas, tables and columns. This will help them learn about the business content available so they will know which subject areas/columns to use to build ad-hoc report development. Does the new feature "metadata dictionary" support this requirement. Can you point me to where I can play or learn more about this feature?
    Thanks!
    Khai

    First and foremost: did you already try it out? In general, yes a metadata dictionary can achieve what you're asking for, but the devils as always in the detail and/or in what the users accept.
    Simply follow the steps outlined in Venkats blog here -> http://oraclebizint.wordpress.com/2007/08/23/oracle-bi-ee-10133-metadata-dictionary-statistics/
    ...and then see if this satisfies your needs.

  • Notifications About New Features Should Be In WebOS!

    Palm,
    Please listen, we all love your updates especially when new features like contact addresses can be launched in Sprint Nav. And I know from listening and personally talking with Jon Rubinstein how much he cares about the customer experience. But most of your customers like my mom or sister wouldn't know that update 1.3.5 had this new feature. I personally knew about it's existence but had to search on how to toggle between the two.
    It's important you show off exciting new features and how to use them. My suggestion is to have pop-up tutorial after an update that says something like, "WebOS has just updated and there are new features on your phone now. Press here to learn about them." This would launch an animated guide. Otherwise the only way most people will find out about them will be by accident if at all.
    Please make this happen and thanks for all the great work.
    Post relates to: Pre p100eww (Sprint)

    I agree with you. A lot of easter egg features. I think some people like that, but for the common user who does not like searching for these hidden things It can hinder there experience. 
    I don't know if I would like the tutorial on the phone idea though. I mean in theory its nice, but those will add to the download time. And sometimes when those updates are released, they don't exactly come speeding fast regardless of wifi or not. 
    I think instead what would be nice, with the ability to watch flash in the web browser coming soon, maybe just include a link that pops up, or one you can click in the Update App that directs the browser to a flash showing the new features. Would not force everyone to download extra files, and have the option of viewing it from any PC if you want.

  • What are new features??

    I just updated from Photoshop Elements 6 to Photoshop Elements 10 and would like to learn what are the new features of Elements 7, 8 9, and 10.  That is:  What's changed in Photoshop Elements since Elements 6?
    I've searched Adobe but I don't think Adobe wants me to know.  I could maybe find the answer myself if I spent the next month experiencing the joys of computer aggravation, but maybe someone knows the answer and can point me to it.
    I'd sure appreciate it.

    At least for PSE10, there's this feature page on Adobe's Web site:
    http://www.adobe.com/products/photoshop-elements/features._sl_id-contentfilter_sl_featured isplaytypes_sl_new.html
    Maybe searching the Web would turn up archived versions of that page for earlier versions of PSE.

    We all can learn from this. Whenever you get stuck in a customer-service situation that goes nowhere, as soon as you become aware of the futility, get the name and employee ID of the person, then say, "I don't mean to be rude, I think we're both wasting our time. Perhaps you weren't trained for this issue, or perhaps your system isn't displaying the correct information. It doesn't matter, because I'm not getting proper customer support this way. Please ESCALATE this to your highest-level manager IMMEDIATELY. If that person isn't availabe, ESCALATE me to that person's highest-level manager. If you haven't been given the proper training, you can use this to inform your manager that you need the training. Thanks for trying to help. I appreciate it. I have copied and saved this chat session. NOW PLEASE ESCALATE THIS CASE AS I HAVE REQUESTED ABOVE. I'm waiting now... "
    The point is that you're a customer, and the company needs customers, so the individual who's failing to deliver good service needs to be identified so they can be properly trained, and so that problems in the system can also be identified, but more important is that you get the service you're entitled to.
    If you search the forum for similar questions, you'll see the kind of information that the volunteer users like yourself on the forum need to know about your system and files involved, so they can help you better.
    Good luck.
