My source content is in different resolutions, what settings do I use to set my project up?

I have 3 types of input:
1) H.264 720x568 25fps AAC 48kHz Stereo (though for some reason it says "NTSC 1080p in the info panel for these clips)
2) H.264 1440x1080 25fps
3) Motion projects, which I can obviously set up at whatever resolution I need to
The final exported footage once the project is complete will be used in a variety of formats:
- streamed online
- viewed on a Mac in Quicktime (on a standard monitor, and then via secondary screen onto HD TV)
- iPad
Please could someone advise on how I'm best to go about choosing a project setting (resolution, frames etc) so I can create the project at the correct resolution in FCP Pro X, and also in Motion 5
Thanks in advance
Rob

Thanks Tom
Majority will be the HD, so presuming you're going to tell me to set it up in HD format and then just drop the standard def stuff into that and suffer the degredation? Are the options either to stretch it or zoom & crop
Wasn't sure what you meant about converting AAC to 48k audio... how do I do that? I think I'm getting confused because inspector tells me Codecs: H264 and AAC, but audio sample rate tells me 48kHz (for the same clip?).
Also, what's the best way to get Motion stuff into FCP? Would ProRes 4444 be best?
Thanks again
Rob

What have you found useful after setting up new solutions?

I have a general question about the setup of new solutions in Solution Manager. At Tech Ed, one of the SAP reps mentioned that all of the production systems related to a process should go into one solution. What does that really mean?
We have an ECC system for the financials with some of the reporting being completed in BI? So should I create one solution that includes the ECC-PRD and the BI-PRD system? Or should all of the DEV-QAS-PRD systems be place into one big solution so we can coordinate support packages and transports?
I apologize for such a general question but I wanted to see what others have found useful after setting up their solutions.
Thank you for your time.

Hi Joe,
I am not sure whether I understood your question correctly or not. If you were asking about creating solutions(DSWP), then there are different ways of doing it . I dont know about SAP recommendation though.
One is Creating a solution for each of your PRD,QA and DEV. Create a solution called PRODUCTION and your all production systems into it ( in your case, your ECC PRD and BI PRD ) . The same process for QA and DEV.
Other way is Creating a solution for each landscape i.e create an ECC solution and add your ECC PRD ,DEV and QA into it. BI solution and add BI systems to that.
Thanks

Hopefully you have the library files on the drive too, or access to the original computer where the library still works. See Make a split library portable.

Please rephrase your question and provide additional details so we can visualize.

Exporting - what settings should I use?

I am wanting to send pictures to a publishing / printing company who will use them for prints which they will sell to their customers.
I use Lightroom 4.1.
I would appreciate some advice about the settings I should use in the Export window.
Question1: Output sharpening
The pictures have gone through the Develop module and the last thing I did to them there was to sharpen them.
Does this mean that I leave the "Sharpen For:" box unticked in the Export window?
Question 2: Image Sizing
I want to maximise the number of pixels in the exported pictures.
Does this mean that I leave the "resize to fit" option unticked in the Export window?
Question 3: Image Sizing
What do I do about about the figure to be entered into the box labelled "Resolution:"?
Do I ignore it?

davidrw1948,
Why don't you give me the specs of your publisher? Then I could tell you what settings to use.
Sharpening: generally you need two different sharpening procedures for your images. The first one is done in the Develop Module and it eliminates (or reduces) the inherent un-sharpness of digital images. Then for your output - be it print or display on screen - you use another sharpening set ( either in the Print Module or in the Export Dialog). The two sharpening procedures are different and usually one alone does not give satisfactory results.
In your case, the difficulty seems to be that you don't know if your publisher applies sharpness and doesn't want you to apply output sharpness - or, if he doesn't sharpen at all and prints the image just the way you send it to him. For instance Blurb says quite clearly that they don't apply any sharpening and that sharpening is our responsibility. What does your publisher say in that respect?
Resolution: Strictly speaking, there is no such thing as resolution of a digital file. There is only pixel dimension. You can speak of resolution only in relation to print size.
For instance: An image comes out of the camera at 2000 x 3000 pixels. If you don't want to resize this image you'd get a resolution of 300 dpi when you make a print of 6.66" x 10"; but when you make a print of 20" x 30" you would get a resolution of 100 dpi. The formula is: Resolution in dpi = pixel dimension / size of print in inches.
But in the latter example of a print of 20" x 30" with a dpi of 100, the image does not have enough pixels for a satisfying print resolution. 100 dpi is not enough for a good print; a good print requires 240 dpi or - depending on the printer used - 300 dpi (= industry standard for magazines and books), or 360 dpi (high end Epson printers).
So if you want to make a 20" x 30" print from an image that has originally only 2000 x 3000 pixels, you would need to resize the image, i.e. enlarge it, i.e. the software (Lr or Photoshop) has to "invent" new pixels. And when you resize, you have to specify the resolution because for a print of a given size more pixels are needed at higher resolution and less pixels are needed for a lower resolution..
You say "as the printers will want to decide on the resolution that best matches their needs as they will be printing at various sizes and also on different media (as well as photographic paper)" . Question: Do you know that - or do you assume that it is so? Don't assume that printers do things - mostly they just send the image file to the printer, and that's it.
But, maybe this publisher / printer is different.
You say that your printer would print in different sizes. In that case I would make my output file in a size equal to the largest print at a resolution of at least 240 dpi.
If your original file is smaller, you have to resize it.

What settings should I use to "hold" emails on my Outlook email using SHAW.CA

My iPHONE6 is new this week. SHAW.CA technical support (x3) cannot make my settings on my iphone6 HOLD my EMAILS. They appear and in 1 minute they disappear. What settings should I have? I see they used EXCHANGE to set up my email while APPLE in MAIL SETTINGS LOOKUP points to
POP Account Type.
Advice, please.

That works perfectly fine - if you have multiple devices that you want to access the email from
You would have to manually delete it from the server (web) unless you allowed it to be deleted after 14 days or Delete when deleted from Deleted Items
At any rate - glad you got it working
Please let us know if you have any questions

PrintStream doesn't like the FileWriter, it's all squiggly. Oh, and I found the right event so that it updates every time i type a letter. So, what is this you say about making a FileOutputStream an attribute? I don't know what that means. I'm also not sure what you mean by listener, is that the PrintStream?
private void jTextPane1KeyTyped(java.awt.event.KeyEvent evt) {
FileWriter out;
PrintStream p;
try
out = new FileWriter("myfile.txt");
p = new PrintStream(out);
p.println (jTextPane1.getText());
p.close();
catch (Exception e)
System.err.println ("Error writing to file");}
}

CUP user import: what XML field to use to set default ACLs for user?

Can someone please tell me what XML tags to use within the import file (via CUP) to set the default Document and Folder ACLs respectively to Public and Protected.
Thanks!

brian,
did you ever figure out how to assign default ACL to a user using XML? if so, could you show me how to do it? thanks

Mirrored LCD displays with different resolutions - what happens ?

Hiya - I'm looking to buy a mac mini & use two existing displays that I own:
a) A 1920x1200 monitor as my desktop, and
b) A 1024x768 LCD television for fullscreen video playback via Quicktime & DVD player
... the displays will be in different rooms, so I don't want to extend the desktop over both monitors.
However the guy in the Apple store told me that if I mirror the desktops that OS X will NOT let me use my 1600x1200 monitor @ it's native resolution - that OS X will pick the lowest common resolution available between the two screens.
Is this real ? Any way around this ?
Thx - Dave

BSteely wrote:
... So if that's what you want, why are you saying that isn't what you want?
Because the two screens will be in *different rooms* - if anything other than fullscreen video opens on the second screen then I've got to try to drag it to the first screen without looking @ the screen @ the same time - it ain't easy.
I very much understand what OS X is trying to do - it makes sense, but in my case it's annoying. Plus I'm able to do what I'm trying to do here in Windows & Linux (it's tricky, but doable).
Given all I want to do on the second screen is show fullscreen video maybe what I'll do is disable the second monitor when not in use via switchresx or something - I guess this gives me enough of what I'm looking for. Not great, but (possibly) usable.
Thanks for your confirmation of OS X's behavior

What settings should i use for mixed format videos?

shot a local show with 3 cams to get different angles. 2 of them are 60i and one is 60p. though all are at 1920x1080 res. main output will be put on vimeo (have a vimio plus account or whateever its called) for all to watch but will be making some dvd's of the final edit for the few computer challenged people.
i have gopro (cineform) studio premium btw if i should convert the originals to the cineform codec.
anyway what would be best settings to edit this in pp cc? also will be doing a music video using the footage to run at end of show. prolly will do some twixtor slomo's as well as different edits in ae cc.
as everyone says, looking to keep the quality top notch in my export...the original files look really good. i know the dvd's wont look as good as the final vimeo hd will look, not too worried about that. the vimeo file is the one that everyone will see so obviously i want that one to look the best

I would probably go with a 1080i/30 sequence. The two 30i cameras will match and the one 60p will be 'converted' on the fly. Export to DVD as 480i/30 and to Video as 1080p/30

What settings do i use with Entourage

i had a mobile me account....i migrated to iCloud.
i still use my email address with @mac.com. iCloud works on my iphone and i get the email pushed to my iphone. however, i now get server time outs from my computers when accessing the emails. i suspect it has to do with the mobileme shutting down. so what should my settings be now in Entourage?
current is:
Account Name: Mac Account
Name: my name
email address: [email protected]
Account ID: [email protected]
IMAP Server: mail.mac.com
Password: what it is
SMTP Server: smtp.mac.com
ideas?

Your mail settings are incorrect:
Try this:
IMAP (Incoming Mail Server) information:
Server name: imap.mail.me.com
SSL Required: Yes
Port: 993
Username: [email protected] (use your @me.com address from your iCloud account)
Password: Your iCloud password

Hi
In addition to John's answer, inside Discoverer you can do this:
Let's assume you have a Status item and it has the values you mention. If you create the following new calculation SUM(ROWNUM) and name it Status Count you only need to include the Status and the Status Count in the worksheet. You will now see a count for each status.
Best wishes

What settings do you use on your X-Fi?

EAX: On, Effects: 0.0dB, DSP: None CMSS3D: Off Crystalizer: Off SVM: Off EQ: Off

well u can go right ahead and turn off that EAX in console, its in no way connected to the EAX in your games, as u said games produce sound through api's in their engines. better look at Alchemy for EAX support in games cuz thats where it is. and ye CMSS3D wont do anything for you since its designed to give additional functionality in surround not stereo systems. and for EQ i tell u to go right and experiment, there is no system that cant use a lil fine tuning to adjust it to your music style, room or just your hearing, we all hear lil diferent.
anyway for reference what "good" speakers are u using?
i got X-Fi Titanium PCI-e over DTS connect to Z-5500
EAX: off? CMSS3D: Stereo surround 50%? Crystalizer: rarely ~30%? SMV: off? EQ: attachment
tbh i assumed wrong, u really have no need for any of the X-Fi functions but if your speakers are at least decent i guarantee u can get more out of them with a proper EQ... and dont read guides how to set up something that is based on personal expirience, there is no "THE RIGHT WAY TO DO IT", try and see what fits you.

What settings should i use when creating a wallet???

Dear sirs...
i configured the http server to use ssl. using the default wallet it works fine. now i created a certificate request , send it, get the certificate & added it into the wallet, enabled autologin feature, and then make the httpd.conf file point to it. now i can not see my site on the server. by only changing the wallet with the old one, i get the site working again.
i guess the problem is in the certificate, so what should i check when installing the certificate? is there a limit on key size supported by oracle? should i add a specific cipher suite? how? can anyone tell me where to find a step by step example on using ssl?? (as i told you before, the problem in the wallet)
thanks for any help
best regards

First try doing the following:
In the Application tier home go to webcache/wallets/default
Make a copy of the certificates there and then paste ur own certificates. See it might work.
As for the step by step procedure here is the link:
