MORE A CAMERA QUESTION REALLY

Hello,
I've just upgraded my camrea to one which can tke MiniDVCAM tapes as well as MiniDV.
Can anyone tell me the big difference? The MiniDVCAM tapes are more expensive and shorter as they run faster.
Other searches have told me the information is no more dense - it's just stored on the tape with gaps between in whereas MiniDV stores it without gaps. Basically I've been told I might as well use MiniDV tapes and there will be no difference in quality - if so what I want to know if what's the advantage of MiniDVCAM? There must be one else why would it exist?
Please help.
Oh... are there any iMovie consequences of using MiniDVCAM tapes?
Many thanks
Dan

Hi Dan:
Mini Dv Cam is for the high-end cameras and professionals while the Mini Dv is suitable for the everyday user (me!)
I found this link with some comparisons.

H264 and HD video camera questions

So I just got a miniDV HD video camera and was learning how to use imovie 06 HD. So much more confusing then 08. I got really spoiled with just clicking, dragging and deleting parts of clips I didnt want, this seems much more complicated.
Question is, once I finish a project, how do I use this H264 to compress the HD video? I didnt see an option for it when I clicked "Share" and then selected Quicktime. I just upgraded to QT 7.4.5 for Leopard. Any help would be great, thanks

Nevermind, just found the option. Is it supposed to take like 15 min to render a 30 second clip? Thats ridiculous.

Can we ask more than one question at a time in Quick Poll?

Dear Experts,
Can we have more than one question at a time in Quick Polling.
The User has to answer more than one question in single poll.
is that possible?
Thanks in advance for your attention.

Viswes.

Hi Viswes,
Through customize u can achieve ur requirement..
Create two Quickpoll with different campaign name and start ongoing..
Next create iview for each quickpoll by using KM QuickPoll iView Template enter the corresponding campaign name for the quickpoll iview.
Next create one JspDynPage component in NWDS
In that JSP file
<iframe src="Give the preview path of Quickpoll iView 1" align="left" >
</iframe>
<iframe src="Give the preview path of Quickpoll iView2 " align="left" >
</iframe>
Now u create one iview for that JspDynPage component
in that two Quickpoll question will display in one iView..
Points are welcome if its helpful
Regards

Question to the forum My question really has to do with the replace stuff

Question to the forum
My question really has to do with the replace stuff from imovie 09
Ok when I pick up the stuff from the event library and pull up to the top it does not replace at play head or end or start
It mainly erases everything that is on there b4 so
So I am not sure
I actually also wanted to know what is the difference of just dragging to the end or end
And all these replacing options like replace at start end or replace alone for that matter ….

Hello again. Just to let you know I have solved the problem. Backed up my new phone. Then wiped all settings and everything off it to start again. When it relaunches it gives you the option to download from Icloud and you can pick from which back-up date you want to download it from. Picked the one from the day before it got trashed and HEY PRESTO, we have all the pictures and videos back!!! Iphone 0 - 1 Voodooboy78
I'm sure people will look at this and be like duhhhhhh but to me it is a VICTORY over technology!!! Peace

Open more times Camera RAW in After Effects (CC)

Open more times Camera RAW in After Effects (CC)Hallo everybody, I'm importing .dng files in AE and the first time AE opens Camera RAW automatically. But if you want to edit again DNG sequence in Camera RAW. how can you make it?
thx for reply!

Hi!
I don't think you can get the points via scripting as they're not individual parameters. They must be stored in the plugin as "custom data", which is opaque...
What do you need them for? Cos', for example, you could convert the points you need to Nulls (or Solids) and get the position data from there...

As an Oracle trainer, I consider the OBEs to be very important. I doubt that Oracle will get rid of them.
However, it takes time to make them. I suspect that they are created when a new feature needs to be demonstrated and the product management has the resources available.
I just wish they would make the original set from Oracle8i available. They provided some very important basics which have long since hit the archive pile.
I'm sure that some of the ACEs would be happy to upgrade them to Oracle10g/11g level. I know I would be willing to contribute to that effort.

More than one question on a quiz slide

I've been using Captivate to create quizzes, and am not experienced with Flash. Now I need to create quizz slides with more than one question per slide, which is a limitation in Captivate. Is it possible to have more than one question on a slide using Flash?

Hi,
I think it is possible, but you need to do it manually not through template as far as i know.

The FaceTime camera is really bad and has tiny things scrambling everywhere on The New iPad why?

The FaceTime camera is really bad however the front one is clear why is that?!

First, this is a user to user forum, so you're not talking to Apple here...none of 'us' broke the card reader.
Have you tried to give your iPad a reset? Hold down the sleep and home keys for about 20 seconds. When you see the silver apple, let go and let it reboot.
Also, I've noticed with mine that the import window doesn't always pop up like it used to, but instead you'll see 'import' as a button added to the bottom right of the screen when you plug in a SD card that holds properly named and formatted content (as in if you plug in a SD card without a DCIM folder you get no response, there has to be something for it to import for the option to even appear

I have The New iPad and the FaceTime camera is really bad and fuzzy and does not autofocus properly however the other camera is really good how do I fix this?

The FaceTime camera is really bad on my New iPad (which I've had for a while) it's really fuzzy, poor & doesn't autofocus properly however the other camera is really good how do I fix this?!!!! X( x_x

I'm also on iPhone 4, iOS 6, and have exactly the same problem. I've tried resetting privacy settings, turning restrictions on and off, deleting and reinstalling apps. Nothing seems to work. The lists of apps in privacy settings are all empty, except for location services. When using Tweetbot the app is regularly asking for permission to access my twitter account, but even when I allow that, the app doesn't show in privacy settings. When I try to go into the camera roll from the Facebook app, the app tells me I have to allow access to the camera roll from the privacy settings - which I can't do since the app is not listed there.

P2 camera question - which video files do I keep, Card files or Quicktime?

Hi everyone,
I use a P2 camera.
In final cut pro, when I log and transfer I get Quicktime files made up and they sit in my "Capture Scratch" folder.
I have been reading via this forum that I should also copy the entire contents of the P2 card to my hard drive.
As this eventually fills up my hard drive quicker, is there anything negative about wiping my P2 cards as soon as I "Log and Transfer", since I can simply keep my converted Quicktime files.
Or should I be asking, Which format is better to keep? The MXF files or Quicktime?
Thanks for your assistance.
Kris

Thanks everyone for your input.
I am not a high end user of the P2 and my workflow isn't all about having clients in and mixing edit systems between Avid and FCP, and most certainly any clients wouldn't be walking out with the master copy of the MXF files, only a DVD of the finished product.
I work for a Health Union and I'm usually filming around hospitals and Ambulances, and filming the odd press conference as well as full day health forums etc.
I do like Shane Ross' theory of "What if a future version of FCP supports native MXF editing." As well as the fact that storage is so cheap now.
Up until now I have dumped the cards files to the trash after log and transfer and I have edited the Quicktime files without saving the MXF files. So far this has worked for me and I simply import the the old Quicktime files from the original project to the new project if I ever need to use the footage again in a future video. (This usually happens as I edit a yearly wrap up video for the Union which encompasses all footage that I've used over the past 12 months).
So I guess I'll keep doing what I've been doing and look into keeping the MXF files when i acquire more hard drive space. At least for the time being I'm not shooting myself in the foot with a really dodgy workflow.
My questions have been answered and I appreciate everyones time and efforts in replying to me. Cheers.

N95 8GB Camera question

Hi,
I just got my phone and I love it so far! but I'm puzzled as to why the camera is unprotected? Didn't the earlier version have a shutter?
I'm very careful with it, and really don't want to hide it in a custom "sock" :-) ... I'm just surprised. Why offer 5mp and a Carl Zeiss lens and leave it unprotected?

Incidentally, according to my local nokia shop, they decided not to include the shutter on the N958GB because people complained about the shutter catching on their clothes and opening in their pockets.
Sound like nonsense to you?
To be honest, yes. I've never had my N95's shutter open on its own in my pocket and it sounds more like the bloke was searching for a plausible answer to the question why the shutter was removed.
I think it was simply a way to reduce the production cost of the handset.
Maybe Nokia will consider putting it back on future models if enough people raise the concern.

Quick Question - just a curious question really...

I got a new iMac last month and had previously owned an iMac G5 and had been using the Mail feature - having my comcast e-mail transfered to it. When I opened up mail on my new computer - all I did was type in my e-mail address and password, and everything set up automatically - I remember having to do a little more work than that in the past - not much, but changing a few settings so that I can bring up my e-mail with this application.
I'm curious as to how all of my contacts are still in the previous recipients - people I e-mailed a year ago - are still in there - It was if I never changed computers - I thought this would be computer specific and that when I deleted my hard drive on the other computer that these would all be gone and i'd have to start from scratch - I'm happy I didn't - but I guess this is the way it was supposed to happen?
so, not really a question - but I guess this is the way it works? I didn't import my old mail or anything...

No, it is not a .mac account.
Thanks for the info...I just found it strange how I could start on a new computer as if I never switched - I thought that stuff was stored on the hard drive - sort of. So, to me, that meant that I would lose all of that information once I started fresh on a new system. How does the mail application save this information? just by my logging in? is this why set-up was so easy? My address book does not have even half of those addresses in it - I do no that they are integrated though. I backed up my address book and was able to easily restore it with my new computer...so those addresses I expected to see - just not ones that I used while using the other computer only.
If that makes any sense - it's hard to explain.
Thanks again.

Multi CAM Question!

Okay so I have two questions here
1) How do you sync two cameras together? For example I will be filming a school event and I want to make sure they are both synched up so that when I go into post editing it will be very simple to use the MultiCam function. Someone told me to have someone take a Picture with flash on the stage once both cameras are rolling and to place the input on that point in FCP
2) Once I import the footage from the XH-A1 how do I go in and input the footage from the Canon Mark 2? I already have a shortcut setup for this camera as far as the codec goes but how do I import the footage when the settings are already fixed for that of the xh-a1. Does that make sense? And once I get them both imported and on the same timeline how will they function together sense they are slightly diff as far as resolution goes.

The flash does not sync the cams, it simply gives you one easily identified moment to set your IN point. I prefer a clapper as it is easier to find using the audio waveform and audio is sampled many more thousands of times per frame so it can be more accurate.
Lots of posts here on how to import material from the Mark 2. Do a search.
For multi cam to work, the footage must be the same codec, time base and resolution.
Once captured, convert everything to the same ProRes format, including timebase and resolution.
Read the section in the Manual on Multicam +very carefully+ before you start. I suppose there are some online tutorials as well.
