Need Some P2 Workflow Guidance

So clearly I don't know much about P2 cards.
Im planing on using the Log and transfer window to import all of the P2 cards into Fcp, Is this the best thing to do?
My main concern is to have the best possible quality, which takes me to the next question.
Import Preferences?
If using the log and transfer is my best option, than what should I choose and what is the difference
P2 Plugin
Apple Pro Res 422 or Apple Pro Res 422 HQ
AVCHD Plugin
AVCHD: Apple Pro Res 422 or Apple Intermediate Codec
AC-3 Audio: Apple Pro Res 422 or Apple Intermediate Code
And last but not least should I leave the Remove Advanced Pulldown and Duplicate Frames checked or unchecked.
Once again my biggest concern is to preserve as much of the original files quality as possible.
Any help will be greatly appreciated.

Hi btm,
So clearly I don't know much about P2 cards.
Don't worry, we've all been there.
Im planing on using the Log and transfer window to import all of the P2 cards into Fcp, Is this the best thing to do?
Yes, correct.
My main concern is to have the best possible quality, which takes me to the next question.
Import Preferences?
Transferring material from P2 cards is a loss-less ttansfer. What happens is that your footage is being rewrapped into QT files. You may leave default preferences.
And last but not least should I leave the Remove Advanced Pulldown and Duplicate Frames checked or unchecked.
Not a decision that we need to take often on this side of the pond but on your side in some cases that needs to be checked.
I am pretty sure Shane Ross mentions something about 1080 24PA in his tutorial which btw you should watch to get some extra info.

    In win32 programming I can call EnumWindows along with the hwnd of the window I want the sub windows for and it will enumerate through the hwnds of the sub windows. This is how we scrape windows screens.... pull the data from the controls in a windows window. Obviously EnumWindows does not work against java windows.
    Is there a way to do this in on a Java GUI? If so, you'd be straight.

  • Need some help and guidance please!

    Hi everyone,
    I desperately need some help because I am at my wits end.   In September I purchased a Compaq Presario CQ60-450US.  Shortly after purchasing, I fresh installed Windows 7 Professional.  Recently I decided to tried to dual boot ubuntu on the machine only to find that the installation failed because of CD read error.  I know for a fact that the CD is not the issue because I have used this CD three other times to install ubuntu thus I came to the conclusion that the CD/DVD drive was bad.  
    I called HP support to get a new CD/DVD drive replaced only to spend 2 hours on the phone with a individual that decided to troubleshoot first trying to install ubuntu remotely (I informed the indiviual that the remote session would end), then by playing a DVD and "skipping throughout" the movie.  He/she said that she could see no issue.  (no diagnostic was run)I informed the individual that I had issues with buring as well.  He/she proceeded to go online and install software asking me to demonstrate the issue after which the call got dropped mysteriously.
    I called HP support back and told them that I am having an issue now burning.  They proceed to connect remotely and look at the software the previous support individual downloaded and said that the software was not supported by HP.  I informed the individual that I give permission to install any software needed to troubleshoot but the individual said that I could not be suppoted because I wasn't using the OS installed by HP.  I was instructed to recover my machine to the OS that was installed with the machine if I was to continue to get support.
    I informed the individual that the drivers and software are the same for either OS considering the CD/DVD rom is a plug and play device.  The individual refused to help and told me I had lost my warranty because of my decision to install an OS directly from Microsoft or a third paper vendor. 
    That is where I stand.  HP is refusing to give me support because I am not running their Vista Home edition even though my issue is hardware.  I cannot find any warrent information stating that I need to have the original operating system installed on the machine to receive support.   Can anyone point me to a reputable division that can help me with my issue?  I feel I was just thrown aside so that they don't have to initiate a repair.  If not has anyone filed a compalint against this outrageous support requirement?   

    Dear ndjumpball,
    I would like to say that I have some good -- or at least encouraging -- advice.  Regretfully, I do not.  I had issues with my dv7 practically since purchasing it a year ago specifically so I would have a reliable computer for school.  My first problem: I bought my laptop a mere 7 weeks before HP started offering their free upgrade to Windows 7.  Consequently, I was forced to purchase the full installation retail or continue to deal with the wonton freezes and system failures that inevitably occurred while I was working on homework -- courtesy of HP's installation of Vista Home Premium 64-bit.  Thankfully, I was able to purchase a copy of Windows 7 Professional 64-bit through a significant student discount offer from Microsoft, and I had my new OS downloaded the evening of October 23, 2009; I had to give their servers time to free up, since it seemed like everyone and their dogs were also downloading what the reviews posted on CNET and PC World touted as being more reliable.  I recall (I can't remember exactly which site this appeared) the statement, "Windows 7 is what Vista should have been from the beginning."
    I was all excited and happy now that I had a laptop for school that had everything I was looking for:  decent size hard drive, a fair amount of RAM, great 17.3" display with awesome colors, and a CDRW/DVDRW/Blu-Ray disk drive in the bay.  Not only was I very satisfied with the hardware; it also came with a decent host of software that are thought was pretty cool, too.  It came with CyberLink's DVD Suite 6 that I could activate simply by touching a soft button above the keyboard.  Aside from Vista Home Premium crashing on me at the most inopportune times, I was exceedingly happy with my $1000 purchase and investment.  Then came the "upgrade" to Windows 7 Professional 64-bit...Because I didn't have a "compatible" version of Vista, I had to do a full ("custom") install.  In other words, I lost all of the cool features I originally bought the machine for in the first place...no more cool one-finger's brush software activation (still don't have that working), and HP Chat Support told me the same thing they told you.  The following is a direct copy/paste quote from an email response I received from HP Total Care:  "In order to help you relevantly I would like to request you to please revert back to Vista operating system and check whether the issue is persisting or not.  If the issue is still persisting after reverting the operating system back to vista then we need to perform system recovery."
    After pursuing my case for 6 months -- finally getting my case escalated to two HP Customer Care Case Managers in Texas/Oklahoma -- the best "customer support" I received was what I'm sure was a truly heartfelt and sincere apology...  Oh, neither case manager was "able" to send me either the true upgrade disks that would have preserved the features purchased, nor were they willing to send me a stand-alone installation of the CyberLink’s DVD Suite 6 that is currently offered with the HP Pavilion dv6t Quad Edition series.  (In massive frustration and anger, I bought the CyberLink’s DVD software - $100 I didn't have to spend on something I had already bought...)
    A month later (late March), MY CD-RW/DVD-RW/Blu-Ray drive stopped working.  After an hour online with Customer Care, I had finally convinced the rep that the drive was working fine after my ditching Vista Home Premium, and that its failure had absolutely nothing to do with Windows 7 Pro.  After giving the guy my credit card number as security, I had a replacement drive shipped to me.
    My personal recommendation:  clearly state that the hardware failure had nothing to do with whatever software or OS you chose to install.  Bottom line:  your computer is only 8 months old and is still covered under warranty, they can replace the defective part, or you can return the entire machine.  You probably want to be the "Nice Guy" but you need to remind them that you have other brands available to purchase.
    I don't know if that helps or not, but thank you for giving me the opportunity to vent!  :-)

  • Really really need some help and guidance here as I am going nuts!!

    I had a laptop with itunes on it and when I connected my iphone it automatically synced and I could move and transfer music from my library to my iphone and vice versa, so all good.
    Anyway, one evening I turned on my laptop to see that my itunes icon had just disappeared - literally! No idea why. When looking in the start menu , I found my itunes music in a folder but no icon/itunes facility - all gone.
    I looked up this problem on the apple troubleshooting site, and they showed a series of steps to complete to get the icon back, but this failed.
    Since then, I have bought a new laptop, so I thought I would just reinstall itunes again which is what I have just done. However, my iphone will not sync to this itunes and I cannot transfer files from itunes to the iphone and vice versa. It's like they will not connect together and I am so frustrated.
    Can anyone help me? Please!!!

    Installing iTunes does not cause your media to magically appear.
    If you want your media on your new computer, then you must put it there.

  • I am lost and need some guidance

    Please bear with me for being so explicit on my posting, but I don't have a simpler way. But need some ideas to create a simple, safe workflow that includes back up.
    I only use my Int HD (350GB), to install and run Apps; otherwise, I use Ext HDs. I have approximate 150GB of images, and another 50 GB of misc. files.
    I have the following Ext HD:
    1- 2 TB FW/USB -got a great deal brand new
    2- 1 TB FW/USB already in use. I have 1 Partition (250 GB) while I was using Tiger
    I used it to create a Boot up Dr, backing up Apps. But no longer use it.
    I have been having some difficulty with this drive; sometimes it doesn't get recognized or stays on. I will be replacing the electric power cord, and all cables.
    I am not sure if I should invest the time to re-format the entire drive and eliminate the Partition or just leave untouched.
    3- 500 GB USB - secondary copy (non-RAI)
    4- 350 GB USB - third copy (off site)
    I am trying to decide how to use these drives, and hopefully, without the need to re-formatting them, but who knows. In addition, I would like to take advantage of TM for my back up.
    5 Which DR should I set up as my destination DR for TM?
    If I use the 2 TB is it better to set as RAID 0,better performance but if one drive fails, I'd be SOL, right?
    On the other hand RAID 1, the redundancy factor would increase overhead. Any suggestion.
    I also use Lightroom and would like to know how I should set it up to back up LR (non-image).
    And lastly, about TM can I be select a specific source files for back ups? And can I back up different source Drives?
    Is there a way that I could prevent TM not to back up Cache, because it will increase the overhead
    Again, any suggestion would be appreciated

    crossover wrote:
    I called Applecare yesterday and told me that TM only works with the Internal HD, no other DR, not sure about that. I usually get better answers here than wasting my time calling them, go figure.
    That's just plain wrong. Some of them don't seem to know much about Time Machine except the basics (and, to be fair, most Mac users don't have data on external drives, so it likely doesn't come up much). But yes, TM will back-up any internal or directly-attached external USB or F/W drive/partition, as long as it's formatted Mac OS Extended. In fact, in most cases it will do that by default -- if you don't want something backed-up, you have to specifically exclude it.
    I have never tried TM and not sure if that would be a good workflow or just use other Apps like the one you mentioned
    There are advantages and disadvantages to TM, as with any other app. One of the main advantages of TM is the very fast, hourly, incremental backups of additions and changes. This gives you an excellent chance of recovering a previous version of something that was changed or deleted in error (such as "Save" instead of "Save as"), or somehow corrupted.
    And there really isn't any workflow, once it's set up (which is also quite easy). TM just does it's thing.
    First it does a full backup of everything on your system (less some caches, system workfiles, logs, trash, etc.). That, of course, is a lengthy process.
    Thereafter, it will do an incremental backup hourly, as long as your Mac is awake and the external drive is attached.
    It automatically "thins" your backups, including when the TM drive/partition gets near full, deleting the oldest backups to make room for new ones.

  • HD Workflow - Need Some Clarification Please

    Apologies for asking another question so soon, but I need some help with my import/export workflow please.
    So I've just upgraded to AE CS4 from 6.5 Pro.
    I'm doing a show where I'm using XDCAM EX footage with cgi shots and elements, all comped in AE.  The shots will be handed to the editor, who uses FCP, as Quicktime files, I think.  This is where I need some help.
    I have read and re-read (several times)  the 'Color Management Workflow in Adobe After Effects CS4' pdf, specifically the 'High Definition Video Workflow' section. I am using a calibrated monitor (regularly calibrated and checked with a Spyder 3 Elite).
    I get setting up the AE project to be colour managed to the HDTV (Rec. 709) working space, and I likewise understand using Interpret Footage to colour manage assets that are imported.
    Where I'm falling down is outputting the finished shots to QT movies, specifically on two points: the apparent gamma of the output (as I see it in the QT Player), and the data-rate.
    I understand setting the output to have the same profile in the Output Module of the Render Queue.  But from there I'm stumped, because the QT outputs don't visually match the AE comp, with almost any codec I try.  I understand there are QT codec issues when outputting from AE - I was reading about those the other day when I was hitting the same problem in AE 6.5.  When I open the QT movie on the desktop (Windows XP Pro) it's invariably alot lighter, lower contrast.  Along with the other issue that the data-rate of the QT output from AE is anything up to 8 times greater than I need.
    I tried rendering Animation and PNG movies from AE, then feeding those through the Media Encoder, outputting via H.264 to get an MP4 with the data-rate around 50mbits/sec.  That works on that, but again the movie is pretty washed out and low contrast.
    I guess this is pretty fundamental stuff, but I've hit a brick wall over what to do.  I'd appreciate any advice on the workflow to output the finished comps to hand to the editor, as a movie file, QT or whatever.  And obviously knowing that what I see in my AE comp is what he will see on his FCP suite.
    Julian.

    Thanks for the additional comments and ideas.
    In terms of profile, as I mentioned, the intermediates will be going off to the editor (off-site) for editing on his FCP suite.  I'll stick to working in the prescribed HDTV (Rec. 709) space, and I've given him all the detail I can of how I'm working, but crucially I haven't stood at his edit-suite to see how the stuff looks.
    But, he's no newbie, so I'm hoping it'll be OK.
    Blasted shame about the H.264 BluRay not being compatible with QT - I thought I had this whole issue beat until that came along.  It's not a matter of disk space here, but the editor is mithering that the intermediates we are testing, in either PNG, or Animation, and a couple of others, are choking his playback.
    I'm not sure what to say about that, other than to go down this road of trying to squish these intermediates as low as possible without wrecking the look, hence finding that the DNxHD is providing the best solution.  If it had been a SD project, I might well have tried the native H.264, even over our normal PNG workflow.
    So what will play the native H.264 BluRay compressed output?
    Julian.

  • I Need Some Font Guidance...

    Hello,
    I've looked though the wiki and through some posts here and I'm trying to get a nice standard system font, but I'm having some trouble. I'm on Arch64 with Xfce using Verdana 10 currently, and I don't know if the font rendering is "good" or not. I'm using the Ubuntu rendering patch set instead of Infinality as I couldn't make it look very good, but maybe I just need some help there. I have screenshots:
    Chromium on the front of Youtube (is it just me or is the font too small?)
    Chromium header close up:
    Chromium on Arch Forums:
    Thunar:
    Thanks for the help!  This is like the "final step" in setting up Arch for me.
    EDIT: Improved image quality.

It seems that whatever rendering style or font I try there's always blurred edges or slightly colored edges or something, and it's pretty annoying. I'll keep playing with Infinality settings for now I guess.
    In addition to the infctl customization tips posted by graysky, infinality also provides additional customization in the following file:
    /etc/profile.d/infinality-settings.sh
    That file contains many things to tweak and multiple presets. To find the optimal rendering you will probably want to tweak with both infctl and /etc/profile.d/infinality-settings.sh. There are multiple settings in infinality-settings.sh that deal with color fringing and how sharp the fonts render (you can try tweaking the LCD filter setting for example, the default stronger gibson filter can be too blurry for some, there are multiple sharper filters to choose from.)
    The infinality forums are also a good place to ask for help if you have any specific problems with the rendering, the infinality author is an active poster there and is very helpful.

  • Rookie needs some CSS guidance!

    Hi there!
    I've tried to use css to make the header stretch the whole
    length of the window, regardless of size. I used "100%" as the
    width, but something is amiss here. I've tried getting rid of any
    margin or padding values, as well as getting rid of the footer bar
    (which consequently has the same problem). The problem isn't as
    pronounced in FF or Safari, but is very bad in IE.
    I'm a total rookie in web design and am using DW8 for my
    editor. Any help would save me from pulling out any more of my
    hair!
    Here is the page and the style sheet:
    http://www.humboldt.edu/~first/
    http://www.humboldt.edu/~first/page.css
    Thanks a bunch!

    Hi,
    I assume that you mean to say that you want to fill the
    entire width of the viewport (browser window) and not the height
    (length) of the available browser's viewable area?
    Your code width setting will cause the banner div to stretch
    across the full browser window's width and the image contained
    within it will stretch as far as the img width setting of 383 px.
    The remaining background color is made up of the background b2b2b2
    hex value that you set.
    Stretching the full width of the browser is not a great idea
    as this can cause horizontal scrolling in some browsers because of
    browser chrome. The other problem is the very long text line
    lengths that you can present the user with on large screens. It is
    better (in my opinion) to build a liquid layout (as you are
    attempting here) using percentage (%) setings, but modified to only
    fill less than 100% of the viewport. Jakob Nielsen also agrees on
    this choice (
    http://www.useit.com/alertbox/screen_resolution.html)
    I recommend around 80% as a good width setting. This gives you a
    nicely balanced page on a 1024 x 768 monitor (the most popular
    screen resolutions currently in use) and a reasonably nice
    structure on 800 x 600 and larger 1152 x 900 screen resolutions.
    I would also alter my code to 'wrap' the page and contain the
    page content (including the banner, all content and footer) in a
    div that is centered in the viewport. So, to alter your code in
    this manner I would use something like this:
    #wrapper {
    width: 85%
    #banner {
    add your styling here...
    (x)html code:
    <body>
    <div id="wrapper">
    <div id="banner">content......</div>
    <div id="left_col>content</div>
    <div id="main_content">content</div>
    <div id="footer">content</div>
    </div>
    You could also add percentages to the internal columns
    containing navigation and main content, for example, such as:
    #left_col{
    width: 22%
    float: left;
    #main_content{
    width: 85%
    float: right:
    The two container divs will then float left and right within
    the wrapper div and give you a nice virtual gutter, to take up any
    silly content handling errors from Win IE browsers (which don't
    honor the size of the container but do measure the size of the
    content, which can lead to floats dropping below each other if
    content divs are floated in the same direction).
    There is, as you can imaging, more to css positioning than
    meets the eye but this structure should get you going in the right
    direction. You will need some padding to keep your content from
    touching the sides of your content divs and any other styling that
    you want for the final design.
    Finally, one more point, when you float content divs they are
    removed from the normal flow of the document in so much as they do
    take their reference point for positioning from their parent
    container but the parent does not 'contain' the floated div. This
    causes the container div to collapse, with the floated div/s
    spilling over the edge of the container. You correct this by adding
    a clearing element below the last floated div but before the
    closing </div> tag of the containing div. In the case of this
    layout just add clear: both; to the css in the footer div, like
    this:
    #footer{
    clear: both:

  • Need some help with: implement email notification on note board within a page layout (javascript)

    Dear all,
    I have a quite specific issue in which I'm in need of some guidance and help!
    Within our SharePoint I have created a custom page layout. This is a simple page to post some content (news) and a standard Note Board is implemented.
    Every time a news item is placed, this is done by our communication departement, this page with standard layout is placed as a page in a page library. When there are no comments on that particular item/subject I found a solution to replace the standard SharePoint_no_posts-text
    by placing a contenteditor web part in the Page Layout with a reference to a textfile with some javascript in it. This works perfectely.
    The only thing left is that I want to automatically send an email to the contact (which is defined when making the news item) everytime someone posts a new comment. Here is where I need some help!
    We don't really use mysites so I was wondering if someone could tell how I could do this by for example some code (javascript) which I can implement in the Page Layout.
    Can anyone help me?
    Thanks in advance,

    hi,
    you will need to copy the std workflow template and add an activity step for display method of notification and define your own rule in that which gives you the list of agents to whom you need to show QM03
    alternately, you can check out template WS20000035.

  • Need help upadting workflow

    I need some sound advice regarding my workflow. I normally record with an AVCHD camera, but sometimes I use other cameras that will require conversion before bringing the clips to FCE.
    My set up is this.
    Macbook Pro has program and project files.
    One external Hard Drive has media from log and transfer as well as render files.
    A second external hard drive has quicktime exports and disk images of finished work
    Currently the video that gets converted is all done on the computer hard drive. That is the original clips then the converted clips. When I need the clips for a project I just import them.
    I am thinking this is not going to be the most efficient way to do this.
    Any thoughts?

    The one suggestion I'd make is to put your converted clips (originals & conversions) on the external drive that contains all your other media. That way, all your media is on one drive (and none is on your system HD).
