  • SmartFX Best Place to Check Out Parameters

    I have a fully functioning plugin (woo hoo!) and now I'm attempting to optimise it so it runs as quickly and efficiently as possible.
    One thought occurred to me after I looked over the Shifter example code supplied with the SDK (figuring out using the Iteration suites) - where is the best place to check out my parameters - Pre-render, or Smart Render?
    At the moment I check out all except for the layers during the call to Smart Render. There are a lot of parameters too, potentially, and from these I populate a bunch of variables I later use to draw my various scopes.
    The Shifter example checks out its parameters during Pre-render and populates a data structure, which gets sent to Smart Render via the extra data.
    I'm assuming that Smart Render never gets called without a Pre-render, so is there any advantage (apart from not having to check in my parameters) to doing all this in Pre-render? One thing that springs to mind is that now I'm starting to make use of IterateGeneric() for multi-threading I need to populate a (big) data structure to pass as my refcon, and I could start building this data during pre-render and pass the handle to Smart Render in pre_render_data, as in the Shifter example. This might save a whole load of function variables at render time.
    Thoughts?
    Also, any other pro optimisation tips and hints gratefully received!
    Thanks, Christian

    I think the big bushy beard on my face suggests that I am indeed a MAN!
    Now it's working as it should I think a rewrite is in order to optimise, and start putting things in their right place. Obviously I'm checking out my layers during prerender but that's all at the moment. However my main drawing code is currently just two nested for loops (for y and x), so single-threaded. I've moved one of the scopes to a row-based function called by iterage_generic(), and with it a quite large refcon structure to carry all the vital position, scale, etc., information I need to draw the scope properly. If I'm to get all this info for all the scopes into the refcon, then I might as well take the time to do it during pre-render (where possible).
    > 1. if the inside of your iteration function looks like this:
    PF_Err err = PF_Err_NONE;
    AEGP_SuiteHandler suites(in_data->pica_basicP);
    suites.someSuite()->someFunction();
    I made this mistake very early on in development, and after figuring out it was the reason why the plugin ground AE to a halt, learned not to do it again!
    > 3. if your plug-in does a whole lot of floating point math, then consider setting the compiler's floating point model from it's default "precise" to "fast".
    My plugin actually does all of its internal work in 32-bit float. I figured it would be easier to write and maintain if I only had a single function for each part, rather than three. I can't see how to do this in XCode yet (Windows will come later).
    > (and you do know about the optimization options in your compiler, right?)
    Well, I've been looking into this, but any info you can share would be great. So far I've seen the following in XCode, which I can set for "release" mode:
    "Debug Information Format" to nothing
    "Strip Debug Symbols During Copy" to Yes
    "Optimization Level" to Fastest, Aggressive Optimisation
    But I'm sure there must be more...
    Thanks, Christian

  • I bought a fake iPhone 5s, but the serial number checks out?

    I mistakenly bought a fake iPhone 5s online, but when I checked the serial number on apple support it came back legit even saying it had warranty until February?

    If it's a fake iPhone, it's using a cloned serial number from a real iPhone. But Apple still isn't going to support it.

  • Jdev: public_html is being periodically left checked out ???

    We have an odd and periodic problem happen. OSCM version: 4.11
    - Periodically a check out is left on a directory (public_html in Jdev)
    - Someone else is allowed to checkout this directory and check in. This leaves
    We have exclusive lock enabled!!!!! ???
    - This leaves the dangling check-out hung
    Attempts to check-in force a merge, which hangs with CPU spinnnin on the RON
    - Undo checkout is the only solution.
    - When the earlier version is locked, all Jdev us of adding files is blocked even though
    the top version is one greater than the checked out version.
    Anybody have any ideas?
    TIA curt

    We have had a similar problem. It occurs when someone adds a new file to the repository without first downloading the latest version. If the developer's current workarea has an older version of the public_html folder, jdeveloper cannot check in the folder with the added files since there is a newer version. Since our repository rules are the latest content of a root folder, the refresh associated with the download updates to the latest public_html version before the add occurs. We also found that the merge does not work properly once the problem occurs. The merge window does not accurately indicate the differences between the versions and if you go ahead with the merge, the files not listed will not be present in the new checked in folder.

    Voicemail is a Carrier feature... Contact your Carrier...

    I have IMac OSX 10.9.4, 4GB,Processor 3.06 with Intell2Duo. I would like to check for Malware. I run a TechTool Pro 6 every month and that comes up great.
    When check how much memory I am using, with only Safari open I am using 3.9 and more of her 4.0 memory. She is very. very slow in processing. I had 4000
    trash to clean out and it took her over an hour to expel. Also for some reason Safari will not allow me to click on a link, in my G-mail, and let it go to the page.
    It has a sign saying a pop-up blocker is on and will not let me do it. I must open the stamp to look at my e-mails and if I have redirected link now I can do it.
    I have not changed my preferences so where is this pop-up blocker?
    I have looked at preferences on Safari and Google, which I do not understand Google, and do not see where this blocker could be.
    Malware is something I want to make sure is not on my computer. Tech Tool Pro 6 is all I know of and it does not detect Malware.
    Help.

    Hi Bhavesh,
    Please see my replies inline:

    When I click on "Where did the error occur" -> "Adapter Engine", I do not have a choice of errors from the dropdown. I only see one option "*".
    Is this right?

    I see.
    I've also managed to overcome this problem by selecting "Subscription Authorization" in the Alert Category Definition page, and entering SAP_XI_MONITOR as one of the roles.
    After that, I am able to see a the alert category defined. By default it's already subscribed, because I'm using the same user - PISUPER.
    I saw in another post that the option "Suppress Multiple Alerts of this Rule" should be left unchecked. I tried that, but I still do not see any alerts raised in ALRTDISP.
    What did I miss?
    Please help.
    Thanks.

  • I have a file checked out in a place I can't get to. I need it checked in. How!

    Thanks for your help. 

    Hi JJQuinn,  
    Thanks for your post.
    What’s the version of your TFS and VS?
    The appdev is your development server and build machine? You can log on that machine to check that user and check the file be checkout under which workspace.
    If you’re using VS 2013, open Source Control Explorer, right-click on that file and select Find>>Find by Status…, then you can view this file be checked out under which workspace.
    You can execute the tf undo command to undo that checked out file like below:
    tf undo $/teamprojectname/…/filename.xx 
    /workspace:workspacename  /collection:TeamProjectCollectionUrl

  • Just imagine how many more iPhones Apple would sell if....

    Just imagine how many more iPhones Apple would sell if they allowed you to buy them as gifts.
    Seriously, the only way to purchase one as a gift is if you pay the non-contract price which is astronomical (over $600).
    I know they need the account owner to be there to sign and activate the new phone, but there should be a way you can buy it as a gift at the upgrade price (assuming you know they're eligible) and AT&T gives you a window of time to have the person come in and activate it.
    And before you ask, I don't do gift cards. I like giving real gifts. It would've been great to give both my sister and her husband iPhones for Christmas, but I'm not allowed.

    You need to bring this up with AT&T, as it has nothing to do with Apple. AT&T is the one that is subsidizing the price, and they have their own requirements that must be fulfilled in order to get that price.

  • Wouldnt it be so neat if when sending emails to multiple contacts that you could place a check mark beside the names you want to include in the email?

    wouldnt it be so neat if when sending emails to multiple contacts that you could place a check mark beside the names you want to include in the email instead of having to go back and search through contact list to add each recipiant?

    Hey docasman, 
    Welcome to the support forums!
    The error you are seeing is normal, all it means is that the list will be truncated meaning you will not be able to see the full list of people in the CC field but you can add more and it will send the message to all of them.

  • I have an iMac desk top, iPad, and two iPhones. Someone (a family relative) has somehow copied text messages, and possibly emails from our iPhones, and sent them to other people. He has had access to my wife's iPhone numerous times. Can I check our iPhone

    I have an iMac desk top, iPad, and two iPhones. Someone (a family relative) has somehow copied text messages, and possibly emails from our iPhones, and sent them to other people. He has had access to my wife's iPhone numerous times. Can I check our iPhones to detect any surveillance apps(bugs) on them?

    Whose Apple ID are you using? It sounds like whoever co-opted the account may have changed the security questions as well.
    Follow the instructions here: http://support.apple.com/kb/HT5665
    What should I do if I don't remember the answers to my Apple ID security questions?
    Try answering them at least once to see if you can get them right, even if you are not sure you remember the answers to your security questions.
    If you are confident you can't remember them, try one of the following:
    If you have three security questions and a rescue email address
    sign in to My Apple ID and select the Password and Security tab to send an email to your rescue email address to reset your security questions and answers. 
    If you have one security question and you know your Apple ID passwordsign in to My Apple ID and select the Password and Security tab to reset your security question.
    If you have one security question, but don't remember your Apple ID password
    contact Apple Support for assistance. Learn more about creating a temporary support PIN to help Apple confirm your identity when you contact Apple Support.
    Note: If you have forgotten your password and answer your security questions incorrectly too many times in a row, you will be unable to try to answer your security questions for a period of time. During that time you will not be able to reset your password and will not have access to your account.

  • Find: Fade To White / Photo Snap Shot Transitions ??  Great place to buy...

    Hello,
    I'm looking for these two transitions plugins for FCP Studio.
    1. Fade To White (isn't this available in FCP?)
    2. Photo Snap Shot (maybe come with the sound effect too)
    Also, do you have any recommendations for a great selection of transitions, filters and effect plugins for FCP.
    I prefer buying individually and hopefully they demo how each one works! "In the perfect world of course."
    Thanks

    1. dip to color, you get to pick the color
    2. see #1 or add a white matte, ramp up in 2 frames, immediately down in 4 frames
    3. Check out Nattress, River Rock Studios, Sheffield Softworks, Eureka. There are plenty more. Google is your friend.

  • I am trying to edit my music list and then sync it to my iPhone 5 so I don't run out of storage space. However, I see the check marks on the iTunes library but am unable to uncheck them? How do I manually edit what will be synced to my phone?

    I am trying to edit my music list and then sync it to my iPhone 5 so I don't run out of storage space. However, I see the check marks on the iTunes library but am unable to uncheck them? How do I manually edit what will be synced to my phone? (the check marks are not bolded, does this mean they are not in my library but only on my phone?)

    You uncheck the music in your iTunes library on your computer and along with sync only checked songs and videos selected under the Summary selection for your iPhone sync preferences with iTunes, only checked songs in your iTunes library will be transferred to your iPhone or remain on your iPhone and the unchecked songs in your iTunes library that are currently on your iPhone will be removed when syncing.
    Or make use of iTunes playlists and choose selected playlists, albums, artists under the Music selection for your iPhone sync preferences with iTunes and select the playlists below that you want transferred to your iPhone.
