Multiclip Editing in Real Time

I have this concert footage I am syncing and I am now up to 9 angles all in standard DEF DV NTSC. I have 1 or 2 more to put in. So I will have say 11 total angles. I know I can view and make cuts in real time up to 16 on the screen at 1 time I've read. I need to see in REAL time the 16 angles and edit in real time these concerts. I've done it with 4 angles and it works great in FCP 5. Even have done it with 6 angles.
I notice when I play it back with 9 angles though, within about 20 seconds, I start to see the time code updating every 5 or 10 frames and then I start to get sound drop outs and video drop outs...sometimes the video freezes as well. I have unchecked all the boxes in the View menu that are important for speed according to the manual, but nevertheless I think around the 8th angle or so, I get this problem.
Where is the bottleneck? I have this card in for my display: GeForce 6800 Ultra. And I have 4 GB of RAM. My 2nd 400 GB hard drive has about 30 GB left on it.
Is my GeForce 6800 Ultra what determines my ability to see more streams in real time? Is there some way I can watch these 11 streams without any drop outs and edit real time?
And if I need a faster system, what area of my system would I need to improve. Ideally I want to be able to edit 16 stream in real time without any slowdown in the sound and video drop outs. I need to make these cuts precisely as I feel the flow of the music and see all streams together. Soon I will do this with HDV footage as well.
Any help would be VERY much appreciated. Thanks-

What displays are connected to the 6800?
If it's driving two displays, I think it divides its onboard RAM between the two (128/128). I read some time ago that ATI had released a little app that allowed you to turn off the second display connector on its cards, so all of the RAM would be funneled to the main display. I don't know if there's a way to do that with the nVidia card.
But if there is, that might help. IOW, you'd have to work on a single display, but all 256MB of RAM would be available to it. That might help, if it's even possible.
If you pare down the files on your media drive, so that it's less than 60% full, with all files living in the first 60% of the platters (the outer and middle tracks), that would help. To do that, you'd trash enough files to get down to 60% full then copy them all to another volume, wipe the original media volume, then move the files back.
Make sure External Devices is set to None, so the G5 doesn't have to push video out the FW port.
Repair Premissions, quit all unneeded apps and processes, and make sure your boot volume isn't more than 60% full. YOu could also set RT Extreme Display Quality to Low. Leave Frame Rate to Full, though, or FCP will intentional drop frames to maintain real-time playback.
Others may have additional suggestions, but if none of our suggestions resolve this, then you might consider buying a fast RAID array. Expensive, yes, and not typically needed for DV, but it will drive more streams of video than you can do now.
Then again, I don't need to use multi-clip, so I don't know whether your particular problem is typical or not.

How can 2 users collaborate real time on a Pages document?

I have two computers at home: an iMac and a macbook pro. We have no problem sharing document via the wireless Timecapsule network. Recently, as we have been deep in editing documents using Pages, we were trying to find out how to configure pages so that we can both edit the same document at the same time (collaboratively) and see each other's edits in real time as we progress. Google docs has this option but it's rather slow.
Is there an option to do this in Pages on a local network?
If no, do you know of any other Apple programs that let you collaborate on text document in real time?
Thank you.

Welcome to the forums!
Pages cannot do what you want. Most word processors can't. However, there are a few solution that can. SubEthaEdit is a collaborative text editor for the Mac, so it can handle this kind of task. It has received pretty positive reviews. You might also check out Collaborate, UNA (although this is more intended for software development), and Gobby.

Real-Time or Render?

Realistically, how many of you guys can edit in real time? I mean have three or four video tracks with effects applied and be able to click play and watch it in real-time? I have two video tracks with one track scaled down (ala picture-in-picture) laying over the other video track, and my machine won't play it. I have to render it first. And this is SD. Are people really editing HD in real time? Am I doing something wrong?

First of all, I always render. I may preview in RT, but then I render.
Second - what format of SD are you using? What drives are you coming from? You may be i/o bound rather than CPU bound.
Third - what RT settings are you using? My system will play pretty much everything I throw at it, albiet at a limited resolution or frame rate...

Can I edit multiclips, but NOT in real time?

I love multiclip editing, but right now I've got 5 angles that were shot without a director calling the shots, so any given edit can require some real decision-making. I often must choose between the lesser of 5 evils, so-to-speak, and I can't really do that in real time.
Is the multiclip function "pause-able?" Can I edit on the fly for a few cuts, pause the process to scrub around for a minute and make a edit decision, and then continue in real time?
Thanks for any insights!

Yes.
If you simply need cutaway shots...
I'll usually set up my multiclip on V1, the activate the V2 track for 'cut-ins'.
I can easily place the playhead over an 'active angle' of the camera I want to utilize, then hit the 'f' key. This will 'find' that point on the original clip, from which I can quickly scrub back and forth to find what I want and drop it on V2.
I've set up a 'quick-key' for the Gang/Open on my '/' key, so I can just hit that after dropping the shot on V2, which gets me back to multiclip functionality.
Once the edit is locked, collapse V1, then select all shots on V2 and shift-drag them down to V1.
Not sure that's what you're looking for exactly, but it works for me. BTW, I make it a habit to only cut a few shots, then stopping, then carrying on. This way you don't lose shots that you like when the 'cuts' are set.

What is the best way to match clip and sequence settings for real-time editing?

I am a long time FCP user and trying to make the After Effects workflow a little smoother by utilizing the Adobe suite.
One of the most valuable things I miss about FCP is that when I drop a clip in a blank sequence (no matter what the settings of the seq) it will ask if I want to match the settings of the clip. This ensures that no rendering is required to quickly edit the video in real-time.
Is there a plugin or function in Premiere CS4 that I am missing that will afford me this feature? Currently i am doing everything I can to match the clip settings when creating a sequence, but sadly i'm still having to render the timeline to preview the edit.
lh

And in CS4, if there is not a matching Preset, you can choose the Desktop Preset, which will allow you to customize nearly every attribute to match your source footage. The name is a bit of a misnomer, but has been around for a long time. I would have called it the "Custom Preset," but Adobe never called.
Good luck,
Hunt
PS - I just learned something new about CS5 from Curt, because of your question - thanks!

Edit in datasheet field is not updated in real time

Hello,
I have SharePoint 2007, a list viewed in Edit in DataSheet and a workflow attached to the list which updates a field FirstTitle in the list when the item is created.
The problem is that, while in Edit in Datasheet view, the field FirstTitle is not updated in real time so the workflow starts again and again because the field is still viewed as empty. The users keep receiving the error message "Your changes conflict
with those made concurrently by another user" (the other user being actually themselves). So they have to exit Edit in Datasheet and enter again in order to have FirstTitle field refreshed and that is annoying and totally unproductive.
I tried from SharePoint designer different checks, I used different actions like wait until item is changed and then stop but nothing worked. Is there any workaround to this ?
Thanks in advance,
Teddy

Real Time Editing while Shared

is there anyway to unlock the script
while another person is editing, so that it shows in real time... also is there an in program CHAT option..?

The document is locked with the person who is editing it and its released when user saves the document. Then anyone else can acquire it. At a time lock for the document can be only with one of the authors.
The chat program, its already in our list of items but it might take substantial time for us to reach there.
How did you like the sharing feature? Do you suggest any improvements? How important is real time editing for you?
Thanks

Real time video editing, is possible?

Hi to all, first of all thanks for reading this post.
I would want to know if it`s possible to apply some effects (mostly twixtor, some warp stabilizer, color correction) and see the result (maybe at lower resolution, 1/2,1/4 resolution) without rendering, but fluid (to verify the image goes accordingly with the audio, to see the speed change is adecuate with twixtor, etc...)
I have a laptop that is supposed to be powerful: i7-4800mq, 16 GB of RAM, GTX765M, and (maybe it´s the reason I don´t see the expected result) a 7200rpm hard disk (SATA 3GB/s, with 64 GB SSD catching mSATA)
I use video primarily recorded from a gopro 3 black, and use premiere pro cs6, after effects. 1080, 60 fps.
I want to change my computer because I have to do a lot of editing of short videos, lot of twixtor, and can´t wait to renderize every time I change something and the bar goes from green/yellow to red.
I would want to know:
-if this is normal, with my computer
-If you where to going to buy a computer, instead of asking which component you should buy (of course you can), what do you think about these two:
option 1:
i7-4790K 4.0Ghz
MSI GeForce GTX 980 Twin Frozr V OC 4GB GDDR5
Motherboard: MSI Z97 Gaming 9 ACK
Hard disk:
Seagate Barracuda 7200.14 3TB SATA3 64MB
Samsung 840 Evo SSD Series 500GB SATA3 (250GB x2 in raid 0)
Kingston HyperX Savage DDR3 2400 PC3-19200 16GB 2x8GB CL11
price: around 2100 euro
option 2:
i7 4790K
2x GTX760 2GB GDDR5
Motherboard: GA-Z97X-SLI
Hard disk:
- 2x HDD 1TB 7200rpm Seagate ST1000DM003
- 2x SSD 120GB Kingston V300
16GB DDR3 1600MHz (2x8GB) HyperX Fury Blue Series HX316C10FK2/16
price: around 1600 euro
I know I can use proxyes but I think proxyes with less resolution give problems with warp stabilizer and with less fps give problems with twixtor.
Do you think I will be capable to do real time video editing with these computers? Thank you very much!

....read about your laptop....the good, the bad, and the ugly.
...ugly first : you are right ...16 GB is the max memory that can go in your machine.....I believe that will hamper performance with some heavy timelines,but, not sure. My laptop could take 32GB, but, 2 of the 4 slots are inaccessible, so I wound up with 24GB. I have seen the memory usage swing up to 20GB during certain tasks,but, not most of the time.
...good : your CPU and GPU are FINE.....even BETTER when you over clock the GPU "memory clock" with the free "MSI Afterburner " utility...I go "plus 903 Mhz"
...the BAD : its NOT hopeless, however. Your CURRENT storage configuration is a DISASTER !!!....a definite bottleneck which will cause huge problems with Premiere Pro. The GOOD news is that it can be EASILY fixed. RIGHT NOW, you have a single 7200 rpm HDD with EVERYTHING on it and a SMALL mSATA SSD acting as a "Cache" for the hard drive, to help speed it up. That is effectively having just ONE drive, and that is below spec for PPro, which needs TWO separate drives as a minimum....( with the now way higher speeds of SSDs, some argue 2 drives are NOT really needed, if ONE is fast enough....but, thats not altogether true).
Easy solution : replace the current mSATA 64 GB SSD with a crucial M550 mSATA SSD, ( ONLY Samsung Pros or Crucial M550s are recommended for use in machines doing video editing...there are reasons for this.....the 550s are WAY cheaper and only SLIGHTLY behind in performance.....hardly noticeable. ( $150 for 256GB, $250 for 512GB at B and H )
If you have the Windows disk, you can do a fresh Windows install on the new, fast SSD. If no disk, just CLONE your existing HDD "image" onto the new SSD...( provided it will FIT !! ) . Now the new mSATA will be your FAST boot drive !!!.....reading and writing at over 500MB/sec instead of the SLOW HDD running at 120MB down to 60 MB/sec with all the LATENCY and FILL degradation !! On this mSATA, you would have OS,programs, and Windows page file ONLY....( although if you get the 512GB SSD, you can experiment using the extra space for all cache files, previews, and exports).
NEXT.....take out the 7200rpm drive...replace it with another 2.5 inch Crucial M550 SSD !!!.....go all the way up to 1TB if you want !!, ( $450), or, at least 512GB. Place ALL other files here
Using these two new SSDs will MASSIVELY improve your performance with PPro......but WAIT !!!.......THERE'S MORE !!!
You have OTHER storage options as well. If you really want to go nuts, you can REMOVE the DVD drive, and use THAT SATA port for a THIRD SSD drive. I have read where someone used an M.2 drive as the boot drive,then created a RAID 0 with the now TWO 2.5" SSDs in the machine....( your BIOS allows it,I think) That would give you a huge "D" drive volume running at OVER 1GB/sec. for serving up all your media. project files and all else. There are plenty of "how to" videos for YOUR machine on youtube, as well as forums like "notebook review" where owner's describe upgrades they've done.
Finally, you have a "mini-display port " AND a HDMI 1.4 socket. On MY laptop , I have the EXACT same mini-display port connector, but, it is called "Thunderbolt". I have read that with THIS connector, "Thunderbolt" and "mini-display port" are INTERCHANGEABLE !!! What it REALLY is , is a high speed data connection that is FULL-DUPLEX, ( UNLIKE SATA which cannot write while reading and vice-versa). Your version is probably 1.1...like mine. The newer 1.2 displayport connection can handle 4K . The 1.1 speed is actually about 8Gbits/sec, ( or, 1 GB per second BOTH WAYS). This means it MAY be possible to connect a high speed thunderbolt storage device to that port....I am NOT sure....but I think you CAN because the HDMI 1.4 port handles my 2560x1440p IPS monitor at full resolution...yours should ,too. However, the mini-display port may be configured for video screens only without a "Thunderbolt" driver....I am not sure. Thunderbolt storage is expensive and not well developed yet.
You may ALSO us the USB 3 external port to get a decent speed for external storage. What I do is use a cheap $30 USB3 dock, that has both 2.5" and 3.5" slots in it. THEN, you can plug SSDs,or,HDDs in to it....changing them like "cartridges"....you will get up to 220MB/sec using SSDs in that, and normal 100-120MB/sec with a 7200rpm HDD.Its great for putting previews, cache files on....those are all easily recreated by premiere if ever lost or erased.
So, SPEED up your storage configuration and you should be greatly improved. I found an AWESOME 27" IPS monitor on sale for only $299 that has the WQHD 2560x1440p resolution that would be KILLER hooked up to your laptop, which would EASILY drive it. The pixel density is AMAZING......1440p videos look like 4k on it !!...that's ANOTHER option you have.

Multiclip editing

Hi there,
I'm reading the manual and thought I'd try multiclip editing..seeing as I have two camera's...not too hard I guess..but it's worth investigating.
So..I've got the two camera's lined up on the timeline with the in-points clearly marked and inline with each other...but when I go to "modify" - "Make multiclip", it's greyed out and I can't highlight.
This is probably reaaaaaaally simple....but I can't see how to do initially create the multiclip..arrrrgh.
Hope you can help.
Carol Ann

This is probably reaaaaaaally simple
Hiya Carol Ann, if that's your REAL name,
Multiclip is not easy at all. It's a lot of fun but try not to get too worked up when something doesn't work for you. Apple's implementation is much weirder than other NLEs and the interface blows. Suggest you practice on a few short clips, about two minutes, so you can learn how the blue and green borders work and which to use: cut or switch? Trying to get things to work in the timeline, in the viewer and on your external monitor is a challenge the first few times.
Suggest you load the multiclip keyboard or the multiclip button bar.

Multiclip edits not "sticking"

Since upgrading to 7.0 it seems to be acting weird.
I sync my clips, create multiclip, drag to timeline, etc.
I play back, while doing real-time switches with my number keys. As I do them, little markers appear above the timeline, showing where they happen.
BUT as soon as I stop playback, they disappear and no automated switches are left. Why are they not being recorded?

I was curious myself, so I looked it up in the Manual.pdf on page 646 it states:
Switching and Cutting Between Angles
When you work with multiclips in Final Cut Pro, switching and cutting have distinct meanings:
• Switching: This means changing the active angle of a multiclip without creating a cut. You can switch the active angle of a multiclip in the Viewer or the Timeline.
• Cutting: Like switching, cutting changes the active angle of a multiclip, but an edit is added to the multiclip at the moment you change the active angle. You can see the results of cutting in the Timeline. When you cut from one angle to another, the result is two multiclips in the Timeline: one before the cut point and one after.
Now, maybe somebody can explain why one would want to set there and switch camera angles throughout the entire clip and not want them to be permanent, (I'm sure there is a logical reason for that, I've just never had a need for it I guess) but in anyway case, that's how it's suppose to work apparently.

InDesign auto-size frame feature not working in real time in InCopy why?

We have just recently migrated from InCopy CS4 to CS6 to take advantage of the new features like the auto resize frame option, however it now seems that this feature is not working in real-time.
Basically the steps are needed to be complete before it auto-resizes the frame in InCopy, we use both layout and assignment based workflows:
1. From an ID document ('doc1'), exported a 'layer' to IC, certain frames are set to auto-size in height using the text frame options. So that editorial can review and make changes to text and the frame should resize according to the specifications set. IC stories are saved to a folder located in a content folder inside the top issue working folder.
2. Editorial opens the IC software, then opens the ID 'doc1'. Check’s out correct .icml file and makes edits to frame with auto resize.
3. Frame does not resize according to text frame set options and InCopy file does not respond in same fashion as InDesign.
4. Change only occurs when InCopy file is closed and updated in InDesign, which is frustrating as this feature would save huge amounts of time serving editorial requests.
Has anybody experienced this type of workflow problem? If anyone can provide mw with some pointers as to what can I do to get this to update in real time perhaps run a script? Update file in InCopy and refresh I will very much appreciate their assistance. I have run out of ideas.
Thanks!

We've had all sorts of problems with this feature as it should've worked straight out of the box but after some testing we have found that its something to do with the way you open the actual file in InCopy. Which is far from ideal and should have been UAT by Adobe before release.
This will not work consistently work if you open the designed .indd or .icma file in InCopy using the file open command within the application.
If you need this to work, the InCopy user has to open the .indd or .icma file by dragging and droping from OS windows explorer into InCopy, we use Windows 7 acrros all the teams. Check out .icml files add text changes to the set auto resized frames, this process will expand/collapse the frames to fit the content but as you have to use the drag and drop method to open the .indd and .icma file, 2 users cannot access the same time doc at the same time (a serious flaw in the programming architecture!) which stops people working in parallel. Save changes, check in .icml content and close .indd or .icma.
However the flaw comes in if you then open the .indd and .icma file in InCopy using the file open command within the application, before an InDesign user opens and saves the file (updates the design). The corrections added in the previous stage above, will not show the frames expanded/collapsed to take in the added text and instead show over matter???? The only way around this is to ask an InDesign user to open, update and save the design that way the InCopy user will see the same result no matter what file open method they use.
Another suggestion is to design the page to have some of the auto resize frames anchored within main body of text and that way the frames will expland/collapse when checking out and editing the content. However, this does cause issues with InDesign crashing etc. so we have tried to stop this method within the working group.
Have you experienced other more serious issues with InDesign crashing consistently when re-importing .icml files? See other forums here:
http://forums.adobe.com/thread/671820?start=80&tstart=0
http://forums.adobe.com/message/5045608#5045608
As far as we can see this is a major flaw in how the application(s) work, we have an enterprise agreement with Adobe and purchase a large volume of Adobe products globally but so far the technical support team are unable to find a solution to this and I'm not hopeful of any resolution soon even with the new release of Adobe CC.

How can I display a .csv file as a real time waveform using labview

Hi folks.
As stated, Im looking to display a .CSV file (obtained via RS-232, example; 100,101,102,102,102,103...) as a waveform in real-time. What is the best way to approach this? Im thinking LabVIEW. I have version 7.1 but am not really experienced in using it. I'll give anything a go though. Also, I have Visual Studio 2005, so I was thinking VB???
Thanks in advance!
