Match Volume | No Stupid Questions with Colin Smith | Adobe TV

In working with a large multi project, it can be time consuming to try to keep all the dialog the same volume. This episode will show you the power of Match Volume which allows you to designate one track as the perfect volume and have all the others match it including a report that tells you how many dB’s (plus or minus) each track was changed.

  • Premiere Pro to Audition | No Stupid Questions with Colin Smith | Adobe TV

    Colin’s back showing off how fantastic his Z800 workstation performs with the new Adobe 5.5 software. In this episode he shows you how to send a complete Premiere Pro sequence to a multitrack project in the new Adobe Audition 5.5. From there he shows how you can add effects to individual clips, or complete tracks with lots of built-in effects or support for VST and AU plug-ins. Once complete, this project can be send back to Premiere Pro CS5.5 or exported to OMF or Final Cut Pro XML.

    When exporting to Premiere, do the Track and Clip FX get rendered along with it, or do you have to do something special first?

  • Introduction to SpeedGrade | No Stupid Questions with Colin Smith | Adobe TV

    This is a complete walk-through of using SpeedGrade. It was originally posted on the Adobe PreRelease web site and it was so popular that we thought we'd make it available here.
    http://adobe.ly/z5O7qc

    This by far is the best entry level tutorial for Adobe SpeedGrade. Many thanks for a great tutorial. It was easy to follow yet concise and informative. Just a thought, I have searched high and low for information on how to "round trip" footage out of Adobe Premiere or After Effects and back into that application again. And despite my best efforts I have had no success. I have been able to make color corrections and apply looks in SpeedGrade and through trial and error, mostly the latter, been able to render files. But I don't know how to bring them back into my original timeline. Would you please help with a tutorial on the subject? Specifically, how to export a timeline from Premiere/ After Effects, apply a grade, and import the sequence back into the application with grading. Thanks in advance.

  • Mocha Eye Tracker | No Stupid Questions with Colin Smith | Adobe TV

    No need for expensive contact lenses, we’ll show you how to use the incredible planar tracker in mocha AE to track your eyes, export them as a Mocha shape layer and apply effects in After Effects to create that “white iris of the zombie” look. Another added feature in this episode is how to use Refine Matte to control the feather, spread and choke of the mocha shape layer. This effect gives you control of how much of the original iris shows around the edge stopping the new white iris from blending into the rest of the eye.
    http://adobe.ly/xSgWSR

    So I've just spent 4 hours trying to figure out how you pasted the Mocha shapes into After Effects. It doesn't work for me like it did for you in the vid. One step must have been missed.
    Do you highlight the relevant layer in After Effects and simply paste (edit > Paste)? Or do you "Paste mocha mask"? Perhaps you create a duplicate layer first? When do you do the ctrlshiftc precompositing? Before of after you paste?
    It looks like you weren't doing things in real time (you had already done the steps) so you must have glossed over something that noobs like me would miss.
    I would really appreciate it if someone please tell me the exact steps to paste the Mocha shape data into After Effects? Thanks!!!

    Hi, I followed the instructions shown to match the perceived loudness of my files and saved them with the alterations.
    When I reopened the files to double check, the perceived loudness was no longer at the level I had saved. I have experienced this multiple times on several different computers even after a fresh install of CS6.
    Can you please advise how I can ensure the files maintain the volume I set for them? I am processing up to 500 audio files at a time so it is quite annoying when all that time spent processing comes to nothing.

    javac doesn't take -cp. It requires you to spell out

    Sorry I didn't see that.  I guess that you can put that down as your good turn for the day, helping an old blind man across the street.  Err, read the text, that is.

  • Stupid question re iTunes match and family sharing

    So, here is my dilemma...we have a large family and a ton of os devices--iphones, iPads, apple tv's, iMacs, MacBooks, etc.  Up until now, we have set everyone up on the same apple id, which has been crazy--my and my wife's phone ringing with the kids' FaceTime calls, me not being able to sign into iTunes match because there were too many devices associated with our account, and so on.  Now, wit the upgrade to iOS 8, my wife's phone is ringing when I receive calls and vice versa.  So, I was looking into the family sharing, but am not sure how that affects iTunes match.  I want to keep my iTunes match, because I have a huge music library and enjoy being able to listen to my music anywhere.  I guess my questions is, what is the best way to set up my accounts now?  Keep my apple id for my iOS devices, and set everyone else up as a "family member" under sharing with them having their own apple id's?  If so, what does that do to my iTunes match library?  can I keep iTunes match and still have family sharing on?  I don't care if I can share my music library with everyone in my family, but what I do care about is that I don't want to lose my access to iTunes match and my entire library, some of which consists of songs downloaded 7 years ago.  I know it's a stupid question, but as much as I've read and searched, I still haven't found the answer to my question.  Any help or advice would be greatly appreciated.  Thanks.

    Sounds very bad... you can try this, create a account for each member of the family, delete all products (leave all your devices as new) and put the accounts in the devices again, for example, this iPad is from the kid, put the Apple ID of the kid in her iPad, after, this iPhone is from your wife, put the Apple ID from your wife in her iPhone. But remember, the purchases save in the Apple IDs when the family use before, for change the purchases contact with Apple.

  • Newbie to Mac, with a Stupid Question

    Ok, I just bought and received my first Mac, a MacBook, two days ago (Windows Vista Victim). So far, it's going ok, but I'm still on the learning curve.
    Here's my stupid question: What is the function of the four keys on the lower left corner (first row) of the keyboard? The first one says "fn", then "ctrl", then "alt/option", and then the Apple logo with another symbol. I'm sure I would get around to finding out, but a kickstart from you guys would be nice.
    Thanks in advance!
    Dirk in Florida
    MacBook   Mac OS X (10.4.9)  

    thats used for various reasons,
    fn= on windows side fn + the volume button makes ur sound go up, down or off
    ctrl=is used for editing purposes for windows platform, for example, ctrl + c = copy
    Alt\options= its usually used for switching platforms on start up for example, what your computer is starting up hold options and it will ask u what to start up on
    The apple button= on macintosh platform it allows you to do various short cuts (like the ctrl button on windows) for example, apple button + q = quit
    Ok? if u have any other questions just ask

I'm using my brothers computer, who has an IPod too, so now I'm wondering when I set up my ID with his Itunes does his Ipod still work with it??? Or would his ITunes just see my IPod?

    Or does it work without any problems, to setup two IDs on the same computer??

  • This is probably a stupid question, but what does the red circle with a number in it mean on iCal? It looks just like the emails notification. I do not have anything do or up in my cal.

    This is probably a stupid question, but what does the red circle with a number in it mean on iCal? It looks just like the emails notification. I do not have anything do or up in my cal.

    Actually, another person on the "more like this" had the right answer. It meant I had a notification for an invite that I needed to respond to.

  • Possible Stupid Question on Aliases

    We're on iMS/SunONE 5.2. What I've yet to figure out is how to do something so simple that I may be overlooking the obvious solution. This is to duplicate what /etc/aliases does in sendmail. I.E take an email address which does not match a particular existing user and deliver that message to the specifed recipient. There are two aspects of this which I need to address.
    1) Delivery of inbound mail if account is local. For example... [email protected] to [email protected] I think I understand this as I just need to add an alternate address for bob.jones into the ldap. Not centralized but the concept makes sese.
    2) Forwarding of inbound mail to other mail servers. For example [email protected] to [email protected].edu where our.listserv.edu is handled by a seperate mail server. In this case the /etc/aliases file sendmail uses makes this dirt simple. Unfortunately i've poured through the iMS docs and have yet to find how to do this. It may have to do with terminology as I'm not sure what iMS calls this type of proceedure. We have many of these (hundreds) and not having a centralized way of handling these would be very very difficult. What is the solution here?
    Thanks,
    -Patrick

    Not a stupid question at all, I fought with the same concept coming from sendmail. The concept is that it's simple to redirect mail using the aliases file (/etc/mail/aliases) and it only took one line to do it.
    Under iMS you need to expand your mind and accept that ldap is <insert deity> and everything is done differently.
    Alias entries need to be adapted to one of -
    individual accounts (mailalternateaddress)
    or
    a new ldap entry with it's forward settings going to your other addresses.
    or
    a mail list, for local one to many distributions.
    This applies to direct ldap and dirsync mode, however if you're running in dirsync mode, ensure you run the dirsync after making changes.
    Finally, if you create an aliases file in -
    <msg-home>/config/aliases
    and you are thorough on the addresses, they still work.
    Just my experience, search for "aliases" in the forum.

  • Perceived loudness - Match Volume

    Hey,
    I'm trying to match the volume of a large amount of small mono wav files.
    I would like to use the perceived loudness setting but the Match Volume function dosen't seem to work properly with it. E.g. when there are files in my pool that vary from -25 dB to -11 dB and I use the match volume setting to match the perceived loudness to -17 dB the output volumes vary from -21 to -12 but don't seem to have the exact volume of -17 dB (which is the case when matching the RMS).
    And a question what does perceived loudness really mean? I know that it is more sensitive to the mid-range, but is there any graph that shows how it exactly works?

    Relly You can match the volume of 6000 files by ear better than an automated process? I'd like to see that:) 
    Yes I can match files better by ear. No, I wouldn't do 6000 of them like that, obviously.
    In my opinion a 'Match volume' level should first measure what energy a signal has e.g. RMS than calculate how many dB should it add or remove to match the desired level. Simple as that. The more complicated the measurement is the more complex is the whole match function.
    So when I use percieved loudness to match the volume of 6000 files, Audition should first estimate the loudness of all the files and that apply gain to them to match my desired percieved loudness level. That's how it works with e.g. ITU norm.
    Well that is pretty much what I said - except that it's not a simple measurement at all, otherwise it would have been commonplace a long time ago. For a start, as well as dynamics changes, perceived loudness is very much frequency-dependent, so weighting algorithms have to be used. But like you said, 'estimate' is about it.
    Oh, and some of the regularly broadcast antics of one of the largest broadcasters in the world (the BBC) prove conclusively that the EBU/ITU way of doing this simply doesn't work, FWIW. One of the single biggest culprits is speech vs. music or general output on TV. If it did work, I wouldn't have to turn up the sound on nearly every speech programme they broadcast, but I do - and I'm not alone. Like I said, I can guess it better than any automated system.
