Need help with best render settings for project

Hi everyone,
I am completely new to after effects and premiere.
1. I am working on a premiere project with 1440 x 1080 mpeg2 footage from a Sony hdr-fx1000, in my premiere project my sequence settings are HDV 1080i30 (60i).
2. I export a clip with under these same settings.
3. I open a new composition in after effects with the following settings: preset: HDV 1080 29.97 (same as footage)
4. I time stretch using pixel motion
5. What are the best render settings and output module settings to use if I want to import the modified clip back into my premiere project?
PS I've been trying to output to mpeg2 but when i check the properties on the clip it says .mv2 and it looks choppy.
Thanks in advance!

BTW, if you're new to After Effects, I very strongly recommend that you work your way through the getting-started materials here:

I think I need help with driver (software) settings for D110a

I think I need help with driver (software) settings for D110a all-in-one
Product: D110a all-in-one
OS: Windows XP Professional
Error messages: None
Changes before problem appeared: None--new installation
The quality of photo images (mostly JPG files) in printouts is awful even though the files display beautifully on the PC screen. I am using
IrfanView software for displaying/printing. As far as I can tell, IrfanView is not the problem.
When I print the same images on a Deskjet 5150 attached to a different PC also running XP Pro and IrfanView, the quality of the printouts is at
least acceptable, Some would probably say good or very good.
It's dificult to explain in words the problem with the printouts. A picture of really pretty vegetables (squashes, tomatoes, watermelon, etc) comes
out much too red. Moreover, the red, which appears shaded on the screen, seems to be all one shade in the D110a printouts.
Something similar happens to a view of a huge tree in full leaf. On screen, there are subtle variations in the "greenness" of the leaves. In the
printout, all green is the same shade. In the same printout, the trunk of the tree is all a single shade of grey. It isn;t even obvious that the
trunk is a round, solid object.
I liken the effect to audio that disappears entirely when you lower the volume and gets clipped into square waves in even moderately loud passages.
I don't know whether the D110a driver software permits adjusting the parameters that appear to be set incorrectly, and if adjustments are possible,
how I would identify which parameters to adjust, how I would access them, or how I would adjust them. I'm hoping that someone can help. Thanks.
I forgot to mention that I have used the diagnostic application and it tells me that there are no problems.

Hi everyone,
I noticed the following message when network starts on my gateway
Warning: This functionality is deprecated.
Please refer to /etc/rc.conf on how to define a single wired
connection, or use a utility such as netcfg.
Then I realized the way network settings should be written in rc.conf has changed. But I can't figure out how this should be done.
Currently, my set up is the following (old way):
INTERFACES=(eth0 eth1)
eth0="dhcp"
eth1="eth1 192.168.0.10 netmask 255.255.255.0 broadcast 192.168.0.255"
ROUTES=(!gateway)
eth0 is on DHCP because the IP is dynamically assigned my ISP.
eth1 has a fix IP because it's on the LAN side.
No problem to use DHCP on eth0 with the new settings.
But for eth1, I don't know what I am supposed to write for gateway.
Wiki isn't clear on that one either, and it looks like many articles still refer to the old way.
Any guidance appreciated, thanks.
brazzmonkey,
you can't define 2 interfaces the old way (even though I saw some tricky workaround somewhere in the forums).
Use, f.e., netcfg:
Comment your old lines.
In /etc/rc.conf insert:
NETWORKS=(Eth0-dhcp Eth1-static)
DAEMONS=(..... !network @net-profiles ....)
In /etc/network.d create 2 files:
First one is named Eth0-dhcp.
Contents:
CONNECTION="ethernet"
DESCRIPTION="Whatever text"
INTERFACE=eth0
HOSTNAME="your hostname"
IP="dhcp"
DHCP_TIMEOUT=15
Second one is named Eth1-static.
Contents:
CONNECTION='ethernet'
DESCRIPTION='whatver'
INTERFACE='eth1'
HOSTNAME='hname'
IP='static'
ADDR='192.168.0.10'
GATEWAY='192.168.0.1' # your gateway IP
DNS=('192.168.0.1') # your DNS server
The names Eth0-dhcp and Eth1-static are not magic. They just must be the same in rc.conf and in /etc/network.d.
Hope it helps.

PS: netcfg must be installed.

Need help with correct email settings for several devices and Gmail

My work email is set up on my 2 macs in mac mail with the IMAP setting. I also have my email routed to gmail. How can I set up my email so they download to all 3 locations without them disappearing or rerouting after I read them? Currently, if I open an email on one device, it typically disappears and the eventual locaiton tends to be gmail where they stay forever. This morning, one of my devices got an email I was waiting for, and the other did not.

Need help with a activation code for Adobe Acrobat X Standard for my PC,, Don't have older version serial numbers, threw programs away, only have Adobe Acrobat X Standard, need a code to unlock program?

Need help with a activation code for Adobe Acrobat X Standard for my PC, Don't have older Version of Adobe Acrobat 9, 8 or 7.

You don't need to install the older version, you only need the serial number from your original purchase. If you don't have them to hand, did you register? If so, they should be in your Adobe account. If not you really need to contact Adobe, though it isn't clear they will be able to do anything without some proof of purchase etc.

Best Render Settings for my iMac?

I am running Motion 5 on a 20-inch Early 2009 iMac (the model right before the screen was made edge-to-edge).
Here are my specs:
Processor: 2.66 GHz Intel Core 2 Duo
Memory: 4 GB 1067 MHz DDR3
Graphics: NVIDIA GeForce 9400 256 MB
I am not familiar with the render settings in Motion and was wondering what settings I should use to get the best performance.

hi,
it depends on what you have going on in your project as well. Use the render settings that give you the most fliudity for your current project. And / or you can select a play range and only render view that part as you work on. Its more dependant on your RAM anyway, since a rendered project is loaded into RAM to play.

Need help with almost completed plugin engine project

Hi all,
For a while now I have been working on a plugin engine. After a few iterations, the engine is similar to the Eclipse engine, in that plugins use extension points and extensions to allow contributions. Unlike the eclipse engine I have added the ability for plugins to fire events through the engine and other plugins can add listeners, all through the plugin.xml manifest. Dependencies are mostly handled automatically at plugin load time (when extensions get resolved to extension points, and listeners get resolved to events). For the case where a plugin needs to use classes from another plugin, dependencies are also allowed to be declared. Like the eclipse engine, activation of plugins occurs the first time a class is used within the plugin's classpath, OR a plugin can be activated after it is loaded.
What I need help with is testing, working on examples to provide with the engine project, and feedback/suggestions before we release the M1 build. I am asking for those that are interested in this type of work to volunteer to help where applicable and possible. I want to provide a solid plugin engine to the java community, one that is easy to use, works well, and is pretty effecient in terms of resource usage and performance.
Of particular interest to me right at the moment is dealing with multiple versions. As I see it, the engine will be used within an application and as such plugins would be distributed with a specific application version. The plugin version itself is more of a notification as to what version a plugin is, although I imagine it will help when updating at runtime as well.
Just a few other details of the engine. It handles (or will soon) dynamic load, unload and reload of plugins at runtime. Plugins can be distributed in an archive file format, we call .par (Plugin ARchive), with additional plugin filename extensions configurable at runtime. The plugins can be developed and deployed in an expanded directory format as they are in Eclipse as well, or in the archive format. In the archive format they do not need to be unzipped when deployed, and they can contain embeded jar/zip libraries. The engine handles finding and creating classes directly out of the .par file at runtime.
Multiple locations to find plugins are configurable before the engine starts, and even after it starts more could be added to allow additional locations to find plugins. URLs are supported, and soon the HTTP protocol will be supported so that plugins can be downloaded and installed at runtime.
The project can be found at www.sourceforge.net/projects/genpluginengine. If you would like to get involved and help out, please sign up on the dev mail list and send an email to introduce yourself to the rest of the members on the list.
I'll also add that I am working on a Swing UI Framework built entirely from plugins. It provides a ready-to-launce UI application that developers can simply add their plugins to, extending various extension points of the framework to have menu items, toolbar buttons, status bar access, help and preferences dialog additions, file i/o choosers, tons of open-source components ready to use (or extend to add on to), and like Eclipse, hopefully... draggable window frames that can be dropped on any other frame to form a tabbed frame of windows. Some of this is a ways off, some is getting there now. Presently you can add menu items that do allow plugin activation when first clicked, so plugins can be loaded but not activated until needed. The Preference dialog works but is not completed, and a plugin that adds a plugin control panel to view all loaded plugins, activate them, load/unload/reload, view extension points, extensions, dependencies, etc is partially completed. The point is, to allow a ready to run UI framework in Swing with an easy path for developers to quickly build applications with. If you are interested in this, when you join the mail list and introduce yourself, indicate that you are interested in this as well, as we need help with plugin development for it and would appreciate more help here too.
Look forward to some replies.

Might I suggest setting up a project at a known project-site? I've seen your progress and questions posted here from time to time, but one of the drawbacks is that you have to fill each post with the entirity of your vision to explain what you're doing. That's a lot of text to read - and most folks will skip right over it.
On the other hand, a well-crafted, good-looking project web-site, with appropriate links and docs and vision statements, diagrams, etc. will have more likelyhood of attracting volunteers. java.net and sourceforge.net are likely spots to set up shop. In addition, you get CVS and bug-tracking systems, which can be quite valuable in such a large-scale project where there are lots of pieces.

[solved]Need help with a bash script for MOC conky artwork.

I need some help with a bash script for displaying artwork from MOC.
Music folders have a file called 'front.jpg' in them, so I need to pull the current directory from MOCP and then display the 'front.jpg' file in conky.
mocp -Q %file
gives me the current file playing, but I need the directory (perhaps some way to use only everything after the last '/'?)
A point in the right direction would be appreciated.
thanks, d

You should also quote the variables and output in double quotes to make the code robust, e.g.
filename="$(mocp -Q %file)"
dirname="${filename%/*}"
cp "$dirname"/front.jpg ~/backup/art.jpg
Without the quotes, whitespace will break the code. Even if you don't expect whitespace in any of the paths, it's still good coding practice to include the quotes imo.
thanks for the tip.
here it is, anyhow:
#!/bin/bash
filename=$(mocp -Q %file)
dirname=${filename%/*}
cp ${dirname}/front.jpg ~/backup/art.jpg
then in conky:
$alignr${execi 30 ~/bin/artc}${image ~/backup/art.jpg -s 100x100 -p -3,60}
thanks for the help.

I need help with Compressor 4 settings to convert .mp4 files to .m4v for iBooks Author

I'm a curriculum design guy with no video background. I have Compressor 4, but don't really know much about how to best use it. I'd appreciate some help with getting the right setting for my project. Screen shots of settings would be much appreciated, since I don't know much video terminology.
I'm making an free iBook for students on WWII propaganda using old videos from the Internet archive.
I'd plan to use Compressor to:
1. Convert the .mp4 files to a .m4v that iBooks Author will accept. (I know I can use QT for that, but it increases file size)
2. Use Compressor to reduce file size so my iBook doesn't get too big
3. Get videos that look & sound the best, given the poor quality of the original source videos.
Here's some sample videos that I'll use:
http://www.archive.org/download/OutOfTheFryingPanIntoTheFiringLine/OutOfTheFryin gPanIntoTheFiringLine.mp
http://archive.org/download/AvengeDe1942/AvengeDe1942_edit.mp4
PS - I will also be editing some of the original videos in iMovie - if I use different settings to prep those videos for iBook Author, let me know.
Much thanks in advance for any help

Compressor is half the size compared to QtX encoding, 17 MBs...
File Format... H.264 for Apple Devices...
Device: iPhone Local/WiFi
Aspect Ratio: 4:3 480x368

What are best exports settings for project that will be shown on large screen?

I'm working in AE CS6 and am preparing a two-minute video using type animations and some still cartoons and some still photography. The client will eventually show it through his computer on a large screen to a group of people. What's the best settings in the render queue to output this so it shows pristinely? I'm thinking a Quicktime movie output as Animation but I really don't know. Can anyone help? Thanks.

Animation Quicktime is NOT the way to go. This codec will only playback in real time reliably on a super computer. You need to pick a good distribution format that will stick around. PICK H.264. Read on...
If by large screen you mean a really big TV then make a standard HD 1920 X 1080 comp at 29.97 fps and render using the Adobe Meida Encoder. You can put your Animation Codec Quicktime in the AME if you like but I think there are better DI formats (Digital Intermediate). Pick h.264 as the format and pick the Vimeo or YouTube HD preset and jack the data rate up to 40 or even 50 and enable Multi Pass rendering. You will have a file that will playback smoothly on any modern system, even from a newer iPad or other tablet.
If you mean a 4K display then use the same technique but create your 4K composition using the standard 4K display size of 3640 X 2160 and use the YouTube 4K preset.
You can jack up the data rate for that preset also but don't go above 50.
This will give you a file that is technically as good or better than you would get with a fiber connection to a 4K broadcast. How the project looks when played back will depend on how good you are at choosing the right techniques for your animation and color grading taking into account the color space you're working in, the gamut of the display, and the motion of animated elements as it relates to frame rate. (Hint: that's why I said to choose 29.97 as the frame rate because animating illustrations and text to look good on a big screen is a lot more difficult at 24 fps than it is at 29.97 and you don't need 60fps because what you gain in the elimination of judder you loose in the addition of compression artifacts when the data rate is the same.)
One last piece of advice. Obsessing about the quality of your playback format to achieve the MAXIMUM result is for the most part a huge waste of time and energy. Get the color right and tell the story well and avoid juddering animations and you'll blow the audience away even at 10 or 12 Mbps HD. 90% of all quality issues in rendered animations that I've seen are issues of design and animation technique, not issues of rendering with the wrong settings.

Need help with Photoshop and "Licensing for this product has stopped working" message. Adobe fix isn't working.

I am still using CS3. A while back I received an error: "Licensing for this product has stopped working" for my CS3 programs. I used the recovery program suggested by Adobe and was able to get Illustrator, Flash and Dreamweaver to work, but I still can't open Photoshop or In Design. I went back to the Adobe site and did every other trick they suggested to fix the error, but nothing has worked.
I then tried to uninstall photoshop from my CS3 suite (so I could reinstall) but got a JavaScript Alert: "Critical errors were found in set up. Please see set up log for file details." Seeing as I am not the best with the behind the scenes technical stuff, I have no idea what this means or where the set up log even is. Any help anyone can provide?
I have had CS3 installed on my computer for over a year. I started having problems about 4 months ago.

I am having similar problem. Can't open any of CS3 programs after trying to download Dreamweaver Trial, which wouldn't work because "couldn't remove DLM extention" error message. So now I can not run Illustrator, Photoshop, or even Adobe Reader. These are properly licensed for about a year. I get "License for product has stopped working". Have 2 pending cases open with Adobe support (one for Dreamweaver trial, one for license problem) since 8/3 with NO ANSWERS - It says answers within 1-3 business days. Was on phone support hold today for over 3 hours before line went dead with no help. What is up with adobe support? Can anyone help?

Hi i need help with getting my homework for school

im in a nine week class that ends tommorw and need help go\etting my program working properly these are the requirements ofr the assignments:
Modify the Inventory Program by adding a button to the GUI that allows the user to move
to the first item, the previous item, the next item, and the last item in the inventory. If the
first item is displayed and the user clicks on the Previous button, the last item should
display. If the last item is displayed and the user clicks on the Next button, the first item
should display.
· Add a company logo to the GUI using Java graphics classes.
Modify the Inventory Program to include an Add button, a Delete button, and a Modifybutton on the GUI. These buttons should allow the user to perform the corresponding actions on the item name, the number of units in stock, and the price of each unit. An item added to the inventory should have an item number one more than the previous last item. Add a Save button to the GUI that saves the inventory to a C:\data\inventory.dat file. Use exception handling to create the directory and file if necessary. Add a search button to the GUI that allows the user to search for an item in the inventory by the product name. If the product is not found, the GUI should display an appropriate message. If the product is found, the GUI should display that products information in the GUI. Post final .class and .java files as an attachment.

Need help with date range searches for Table Sources in SES

Hi all,
I need help, please. I am trying to satisfy a Level 1 client requirement for the ability to search for records in crawled table sources by a date and/or date range. I have performed the following steps, and did not get accurate results from Advanced searching for date. Please help me understand what I am doing wrong, and/or if there is a way to define a date search attribute without creating a LOV for a date column. (My tables have 500,00 rows.)
I am using SES 10.1.8.3 on Windows 32.
My Oracle 10g Spatial Table is called REPORTS and this table has the following columns:
TRACKNUM Varchar2
TITLE Varchar2
SUMMARY CLOB
SYMBOLCODE Varchar2
Timestamp Date
OBSDATE Date
GEOM SDO_GEOMETRY
I set up the REPORTS table source in SES, using TRACKNUM as the Primary Key (unique and not null), and SUMMARY as the CONTENT Column. In the Table Column Mappings I defined TITLE as String and TITLE.
Under Global Settings > Search Attributes I defined a new Search Attribute (type Date) called DATE OCCURRED (DD-MON-YY).
Went back to REPORTS source previously defined and added a new Table Column Mapping - mapping OBSDATE to the newly defined DATE OCCURRED (DD-MON-YY) search attribute.
I then modified the Schedule for the REPORTS source Crawler Policy to “Process All Documents”.
Schedule crawls and indexes entire REPORTS table.
In SES Advanced Search page, I enter my search keyword, select Specific Source Group as REPORTS, select All Match, and used the pick list to select the DATE OCCURRED (DD-MON-YY) Attribute Name, operator of Greater than equal, and entered the Value 01-JAN-07. Then the second attribute name of DATE_OCCURRED (DD-MON-YY), less than equals, 10-JAN-07.
Search results gave me 38,000 documents, and the first 25 I looked at had dates NOT within the 01-JAN-07 / 10-JAN-07 range. (e.g. OBSDATE= 10-MAR-07, 22-SEP-07, 02-FEB-08, etc.)
And, none of the results I opened had ANY dates within the SUMMARY CLOB…in case that’s what was being found in the search.
Can someone help me figure out how to allow my client to search for specific dated records in a db table using a single column for the date? This is a major requirement and they are anxiously awaiting my solution.
Thanks very much, in advance….

raford,
Thanks very much for your reply. However, from what I've read in the SES Admin Document is that (I think) the date format DD/MM/YYYY pertains only to searches on "file system" sources (e.g. Word, Excel, Powerpoint, PDF, etc.). We have 3 file system sources among our 25 total sources. The remaining 22 sources are all TABLE or DATABASE sources. The DBA here has done a great job getting the data standardized using the typical/default Oracle DATE type format in our TABLE sources (DD-MON-YY). Our tables have anywhere from 1500 rows to 2 million rows.
I tested your theory that the dates we are entering are being changed to Strings behind the scenes and on the Advanced Page, searched for results using OBSDATE equals 01/02/2007 in an attempt to find data that I know for certain to be in the mapped OBSDATE table column as 01-FEB-07. My result set contained data that had an OBSDATE of 03-MAR-07 and none containing 01-FEB-07.
Here is the big issue...in order for my client to fulfill his primary mission, one of the top 5 requirements is that he/she be able to find specific table rows that are contain a specific date or range of dates.
thanks very much!

Need help with output type EDI for ERS

All,
I want to be able to run and ERS settlement and have the invoices created sent via EDI/XML to the supplier.   I have several questions on the set up.
1) I have output type ERS6 which is defined as ERS EDI. I assume because it does not start with Z* this is SAP standard, so I shouldn't have to modify any of this.
2) I've added my supplier to this output type.
3) I assume I need to create a partner profile for this supplier? If so can someone tell me the message type to use?
Is there any set up I'm missing in this process?   I've executed ERS but do not get an idoc and I'm fairly certain it's because I haven't done the partner profile set-up.
Thanks for your help.
Sandra

Hi,
You don't have to modify thise setup unless you have any customized requirement.
You are missing partner profile setup.Carry out the setup and run MRRL tcode to create the idocs
Enter the following values using tcode WE20.
Field                                       Value
Message type                         GSVERF
Partner type                             LI (vendor)
Partner function                        LF (vendor)
Port                                         SUBSYSTEM ( Port to your middleware)
Output mode                            such as Collect IDocs
Basic type                                GSVERF01
Application                                 MR
Output type                                ERS6 or the type you have defined
