Need help editing for 14:9 broadcast -- what's the best strategy?

Hi,
I work for a station which broadcasts in 14:9. I can cope easily with this when using full screen images by visualising, roughly, what will be lost on the left and right. But now I want to use split-screens and image collages using smaller, scaled down pictures, and want to be able to design the material precisely within a 14:9 frame so that none of the material is lost.
What's the best strategy for this? Is there a cartesian co-ordinate I shouldn't stray beyond -- or better, is there an easy way with a mask, perhaps, to show 14:9 within a 16:9 timeline. (I'll be editing with a 16:9 timeline). Can I somehow create two vertical lines to visually provide the limits of the 14 component of the aspect?
Many thanks for any help.

Well, you could certainly create a mask in PhotoShop that is 720x480 wide, but has a 630x480 hole in it. Then bring it in and set its anamorphic flag and put it on the top Video layer to see a 14:9 window.
I arrived at 630 by multiplying 720x14 and dividing the result by 16...

When you add a gift card balance to the Apple ID, it's available for the Apple ID.
Probably best to create unique Apple ID's for each... this will also make things easier in the future as purchases are eternally tied to the Apple ID they were purchased with.

Right! Our regular power bricks cover the gamut of 100-240 VAC, 50-60 Hz that will take care of everything save, say, a failing portable generator chugging in the tip of the Alps...
And you can drink the Apple koolaid and purchase the Official $40 Apple Adapter Kit ( http://store.apple.com/us/product/MB974ZM/B?fnode=MTY1NDEwMQ ) that will look chic and color matched to your brick, or do as Kappy says and get a regular equivalent from the nearest Radio Shack

What is the best strategy to use both Z10 and Q10?

Assume I have both a Z10 and Q10 and I'd like to use it on alternate days, what's the best strategy to do so?
BBM should be fine with the same BlackBerry ID and it can just keep switching between the 2 devices.
If I am using local contacts and calendars, is there an easy switch to keep them sync on both Z10 and Q10?
There are also other information to sync in Password Keeper, Remember...etc.
Is there a solution?

Hello,
For calendar and contacts, there is this:
http://supportforums.blackberry.com/t5/BlackBerry-Q10/How-To-OTA-Sync-BB10-and-non-BES-Outlook-Overv...
With that, I actually keep all of the following in sync:
Two instances of Desktop Outlook (2007 and 2010)
Z10
PlayBook
Outlook.com
And, before I decommissioned it, also an Android device. Any device that can synchronize with Outlook.com can use this solution to keep in sync for calendar and contacts. You, of course, need to not use solely local contacts and calendar but instead keep them synchronizing with Outlook.com.
For the other things you mention, I know of no solutions other than backup/restore...but I do not recall if LINK offers the selective method for those.
Good luck!

What is the best strategy to save a file in client computer

I want to save some information in a file in client computer. What is the best strategy to do? There are some ways I can think about. But none of them is good enough for me.
1. I gave all-permission. So, I can actually write what I want. But, in order to make the program runs on all platform/all client computers, I can't make any assumptions on file system of client computer. So, this is not good.
2. I can write a file into .javaws directory. But, how can I get file path for this directory? JNLP API does not give this path to us. I can't think a way to get this path for all client computer (WIndown, Mac, Unix).
3. To write as a muffin. Seems fine. But, I often change server and path. So, once I changed server, the client will loss the file saved since muffin is associated with server and path.
4. I can just open one file with on path. I think J2SE will treat this file platform dependently. For example, for W2K this file will be put into Desktop. This is bad.
Any better idea?

In the past I have used the Properties class to do things like this. Using load and store, you can read and write key=value pairs.
I store the file in the user.home directory. You can use System.getProperty("user.home") to get this location.
No guarantees, but I thought that this user.home property was good for any OS with a home directory concept. If that turns out not to be true, maybe the System property java.io.tmpdir would be more consistent across platforms. This, of course, would be subject to delete by the OS/administrators.

What's the best strategy to implement ads?

Hello Everyone,
I’ve inherited a site as the content manager and the
owners would like to start selling ad space on certain pages.
Mostly the ad banners will be on the either side of the web pages.
To see the site with out signing-up this page is public:
http://www.kidstylesource.com/industry/index.php?option=com_content&task=blogcategory&id=2 7&Itemid=91
The site is built with Joomla and Dreamweaver. The site is
fairly removed from the Joomla structure that Dreamweaver will be
playing a big part here setting up ad banner areas. Joomla has
it’s own way of running ad banners but as mentioned
it’s very removed from the Joomla way.
I’m just wondering what is the best strategy to
implement the ads with placement on the page, tables and/or div
with out doing a whole rewrite of each page? The body of the pages
are a mix of tables and div.
Also I’d like to think about the future using an ad
server as I’ve never used one before and don’t know
what code/structure the ad server is expecting on the website. At
this time the website is just getting off the ground so I feel an
ad server is not necessary until traffic picks-up.
Many Thanks,
John V.

Hi Helen,
Are Form1, Form2 etc five different pages? Are they based on different tables?
Typically, a tree would be a heirarchical structure (child, parent, grandparent etc) - your structure is more like a simple list.
Also typically, a report is used as the front-end to a form. A link on the report would move the user to a form that allows them to insert/update/delete data. If the five "forms" are based on different data, I would have five tabs in your app - one for each - and have the front-end report as the main page for each tab.
Or, perhaps, I'm reading your requirement wrong?

I am assuming the Time Capsule needs a router, my router is old, what is the best router to get?

I have the Time Capsule and a very old router. I am assuming that I have to have a router, what should I get for a new router? Can the Time Capsule be its own router?

The Time Capsule is a wireless router, but it does not have a modem on board, so you will need a modem to be able to connect to the Internet.
The "best" modem to use is probably one that your Internet Service Provider supplies, since you know that it will be supported in the event of difficulties. Often, an ISP will give you a modem free of charge with a commitment for a year or more of Internet service.

Need help with determining which Credit Card would be the best

Here is my situation. Currently only have one credit card, BoA Alaskan Airlines (since 2008) that is pretty much maxed, $6k balance on a $7k limit. I would like to open another card with a 0% balance transfer to help me pay this down as well as lower my utilization. I have solid credit history, no delinquents and have perfect payment history. No current loans or installment payments and last credit check was earlier this year, a 704 with Experien. I have been comparing the Chase Freedom, Slate and Discover IT and wanted to see what your experiences were and what chances you think I have of qualifying for each card. Which card would be best for my situation? Thanks in advance.

Nothing will be best for that situation other than paying down the balance on that card. Revolving utilization is a major scoring and risk factor. It falls under Amounts Owed below:http://www.myfico.com/crediteducation/whatsinyourscore.aspx With 85% utilization you're going to have a hard time getting approved. Even if approved you're going to get a low limit and a high APR. Don't count on a new card to reduce your utilization. runergrl wrote:

Which card would be best for my situation?Let me give you an example of how constricting high utilization can be. I was in a similar boat but I had more cards and, aside from utilization over 60% a solid credit profile in good standing. However, Chase would only approve me for a $2K Slate with the highest APR offered at the time. It was completely useless. I was able to get my utilization down to under 10% (I think close to 2%) 6 months later. At that point I had 2 instant approvals within a day of each other. Each of those Chase cards were approved for $25K. Approvals at that point were qualifying for the lowest APR on cards with ranges. I'm not saying that you'll get $25K when you lower your utilization. Again, just demonstrating how constricting high utilization can be, If you're going to app then you want your credit to be in the best possible shape. At 85% on your only card you're a long way from that. I know that's not what you want to hear but it would be unreaslistic IMO to encourage to to expect a card useful for BT and for lowering your utilization.

What is the best strategy for wireless printing?

Hi,
I just got an HP 6500A wireless all in one printer and have it connected by ethernet cable to our wireless router. My desktop running Vista Home Premium is also connected to the router. Printing from the desktop works fine. We also want to print wirelessly from a couple of Windows laptops, an iPhone and an iPad. I installed HP's Mobile E-print driver on the laptops and it works but I think the size limitation (5 mb) is a problem. I couldn't print a single page pdf, but a Word doc printed fine.
So, it looks like I could:
A: Connect the printer to the desktop by USB and share the printer on the network. Possible drawbacks - I think I'd have to leave the desktop on all the time and we haven't had much success sharing our old HP printer.
B: Install the printer on the network, via ethernet, and use the embedded web server. Then I guess I install the printer software on each computer?
C: Connect the printer wirelessly. Is this any different from option B other than not using a cable? The printer is located near the router and the desktop so the cable isn't a problem.
I know it may just come down to individual preference, but I'd be grateful for any advice as to which direction to go!
Thanks.

This question was solved.
View Solution.

A is not a great solution. Printer sharing USB printers have so many downsides, some of which you described. In addition, only printing can be shared, not scanning or faxing.
I like B the best. Ethernet is superior to wireless if you can connect that way - no passwords, no interference and it is generally a faster interface. Install the printer software on each computer (from the "Support & Drivers" link at the top of this page, not a CD).
C is OK, but only if you cannot connect by Ethernet.

What is the best easy setup for d600 nikon. and what is the best export for hd movie, 11 min ?

i'm exporting my movie in mpeg4, 1960X1080, for streaming.
all the movie is going well, but there is some cubes in the sky, and also, some frames jumpes.
I treid few times, but its always the same.
Thank you,Lena

You should transcode the Nikon clips to Pro Res 422 before you import them to your project. That can be done in Compressor or MPEG Streamclip. Let FCP automatically determine the best sequence settings, based on your first clip. Export your project as Quick Time Movie, current settings. If you need an MP4 with h.264, MPEG Streamclip can make it for you.

What is the best strategy to back up to a USB drive?

Hi All
I am going to buy a USB drive for backup and have a few questions that might have been worked out by others. These drives come pre-formatted with vfat. My first inclination would be to use rsync to perform the backup but vfat can't hold all of the permissions, ownership, etc. that are required. I think I would end up in trouble with tar as well. Ultimately, the tar file would be too large. Thus, I guess I would have to break it up somehow. Anyways, is there a good strategy for performing such a backup?
Thanks
Kev

How about manual? :-)
Permissions
Synchronizing the permission bits of files is slightly tricky when two different filesytems are involved (e.g., when synchronizing a Windows client and a Unix server). In detail, here's how it works:
When the permission bits of an existing file or directory are changed, the values of those bits that make sense on both operating systems will be propagated to the other replica. The other bits will not be changed.
When a newly created file is propagated to a remote replica, the permission bits that make sense in both operating systems are also propagated. The values of the other bits are set to default values (they are taken from the current umask, if the receiving host is a Unix system).
For security reasons, the Unix setuid and setgid bits are not propagated.
The Unix owner and group ids are not propagated. (What would this mean, in general?) All files are created with the owner and group of the server process.
EDIT:
I'd suggest reading this and/or this and/or this first to find which backup system is the best for you.
There are many programs which should work in your case you and many "meta" systems that should make it easier to configure (like backupninja for example).
I think you should also reconsider using vfat. It's not the best choice for a backup system. Ext3 would do much better and make it much simplier. You can always reformat the hd back to vfat under linux. For large hds it's actually easier to do that under linux (XP has a 35 GB limit when formatting vfat partitions...).

I am needing to recreate a logo urgently. What is the best method to do this?

I have a low res image and I need to create it again. Please help.

In the past I have had to acquire Client logos to use in promotional videos but often the contact doesn't know where to get them from, or I am working on a deadline out of office hours.
One workaround is to run a Google search to find only PDF's with the companies name in the search criteria - for example:
"tinto toner cartridges" filetype:pdf
This will return relevant PDF documents which you can open and look for the logo - obviously a vector format is desirable. Once found either place the relevant page of the PDF into Illustrator or use the Edit Object Tool via Adobe Acrobat Pro to Edit the logo. Release clipping masks if required and ungroup until you're left with what you need.
I was able to extract this in literally just a few minutes and it appeared in the first Google search result.
