Newbee HD post path question

Hi,
Being new to final cut pro and all that it offers I need to ask advice on a project that I will soon be undertaking.
I am cutting 3x30mins sketch shows being shot on HDV. They want me to do rough assembles on set - probably on a Mac Book Pro - and then work at home to do the fine cuts - probably on an iMac. Then (hopefully) on-line and grade also on an iMac. The layoff would probably happen at a facility. Could it work??
If I was cutting this on Avid I would cut it all at 10:1 and then reconform the HD, but I've had bad experiences with TC down firewire and besides disk space costs nothing these days could I work with proxy files? Could I digitise in the HDV video and then transcode down to a lowres for the off-line and then reconnect to all the HDV video at the on-line stage?
Do I even need to transcode them? How would the macbook pro/iMac handle working with HDV, would it be sluggish?
I'm really not sure the best way to go...
Any advice would be greatfully received, thanks in advance.

I've looked into this a little further and to edit confortably I need to be working with Apple Intermediate Codec HDV 1080i50 which has a whopping storage usage of 42 GB/hr, which is too high for the amount of rushes I'm going to have.
Can I digitise the rushes in at MPEG-2 HDV 1080i60/50 and then transcode them to something with a lower storage usage/better editing properties.
Edit with these files and then reconnect to the HD long-GOP once the cut has been signed off?
thanks for you thoughts.

    Can Itune get too full whereas it will stop downloading podcast automatically or manually? I just exported my 2006 " bibleonradio" podcast to a folder on my harddrive. Immediately itune started downloading podast from that site. But for the last 4-5 months it would hit and miss with downloading and the last 2 weeks it quit altogether.I would go to the site and download the podcast to a selected itune folder as a mp3 for listening.
    Do I need to do some type of maintenance to prevent this from occurring? The site is simple reading of bible scriptures. Could itunes get confuse with 2006 podcasts, thinking I already have the podcast, even though the release date for the new podast are mark 2007?

    Look at the Podcasts in your iTunes Library. Do you see a little exclamation point to the left of the listing? If so, click on that.

    Thank you for your reply:
    I have that symbol on some of my other podacst sites, but not this one because I listen to it daily, sometimes 2-3 times a day. Could the exclamation symbol for the othe sites, which goes away if I start listening to them again affect this podcast? but these site with the exclamation also hit and miss when itunes downloads, as much as 2-3 weeks once I start it back up.

    What's happened to me is that some Podcasts I subscribe to I might get lazy about listening to. Several of the Podcasts will pile up, and after a while iTunes will stop updating if you haven't listened to them. When I click on that little exclamation point in a circle, it will tell me that iTunes hasn't been updating that podcast because I haven't listened to it in a while. I think it asks if you want to continue (or maybe you have to click on subscribe again to get them started back).
    If you are listening to this particular podcast every day, that shouldn't be a problem. And not listening to the other ones shouldn't affect this one. Sorry I can't be of more help, but I'm not sure what is causing it.
    You might go to iTunes> Preferences and click on the tab for Podcasts and see what your settings are there.

    Trying to come up with an alternative to incomplete podcasts downloads from a website. What I'm trying to do is convert some the missing podcasts file from a website that itune don't download-reason unknown. I'm able to download a mp3 file of the podcast from the web site to my desktop, but I would like to add this to my podcast library under the same name of the podcast that I subscribed, then add to my playlist for continuous playing. Is this possible?
    Thank for any Help,

    Some Podcasts have many episodes and when I subscribe, I get them all at once. But with some podcasts ( http://www.bibleonradio.com/ ), only a few episodes download, and I know there are many others available either because I can see them listed by going directly to the site or because they are numbered and some are clearly missing. I have tried setting my preferences both to download the latest edition of a podcast when I update or to download ALL editions. No difference either way.
    Strangely enough, if I am patience , sometimes the gaps will fill themselves in or all at once when I choose to click update. Anyone have any ideas why this might be happening? Any help would be greatly appreciated. I email the web administrator and they said they were able to go to the itune store and download all the recent episodes. Below is my email conversation.
    Thanks,
    Austin

    If you mean podcasting of the One Year Audio Bible, then whenever the podcasting is behind you can always go out to the website and download from there. That’s usually been updated even when the podcast has not. Sorry for the inconvenience but the podcast should be brought up to date soon.

    Austin,
    I just went out to the iTunes store and tried to download those dates you had a problem with and I was able to download them without any problem. Maybe you should try again. And yes, you can manually download them from our website and store them into your podcast library. I’ve done that before and it works too.

    Deleting the application rarely solves anything on Macs. A better starting point is normally to delete the preference file for the application (in Users/~/Library/Preferences/com.apple.itunes.plist) or see if you have the same problem in another user account on the computer.

  • A few post config questions on new setup

    Hi Group,
    Just a few post config questions.
    First, how can I confirm my controller is in fact associating properly with an NTP server?  On a typically cisco product, I could just do a 'show ntp associations' or a 'show ntp status'.  I cannot see a way to confirm this on the gui or command line.
    Second, on my guest network with web-auth, if one were to choose to not use https for web-auth and instead use unsecure http, would that be possible and if so where in the gui?
    Thanks.

    The third field is from a WLC running v7.4 not v7.2.  I usually would install a 3rd party certificate, but what eles you can try is issue this command on from the CLI.  It had issues working with certain code versions, but you might as well give it a try.
    config network web-auth secureweb disable
    Thanks,

    I was just trying to post a question from my new mbp but it wouldn't allow me to do anything.  It continually gave me a message highlighted in 'red' that i was;t allowed to modify or post anything.  I've been asking questions for quite a while and have never seen this.  I also happen to have my older bmp, also logged onto the 'Apple Discussions' site, open beside me.  Can anyone explain this to me please?  BTW, my new system obviously has Yosemite on it while my older bmp has Lion.  Thanks in advance, to all those who respond.

    ChitlinsCC, I'm adding your reloaders to my article on how to make using ASC easier.
    Here is my ASC work flow...
    1) I login.
    2) Block the automatic 30 minute logout.
         Unless you do something every thirty minutes you get logged out.  The forum software waits to tell you this as long as it can to keep you in suspense  ;-) . Filling out a reply is the exception to the thirty minute window.
            Start an auto reloader.
    Safari = SafariTabReloader
    Firefox = ReloadEvery: "Reload web pages automatically"
    Others = Reloaders | Cerberus - Support Center
      You need to pick a page that will reload over time without stalling out. It's ASC.  I've found my profile display the best to use. I get my Profile page after some  logins.  It's ASC.  Change rccharles to your apple id.
    https://discussions.apple.com/people/rccharles?view=discussions
    Reply technique
    Open a new browser window.  Pick some discussion.  Open a reply window.  As long as this reply window is open, you will stay logged in.  The 30 minute times is reset as needed by the ASC software.
    3) I open another window to do my normal ASC browsing.
    4) I have a FireFox bookmark to goto the discussions that I have participated in. I've modified it to add on the content stuff.
             turingtest2 recommends. Change rccharles to your apple id:  
    https://discussions.apple.com/people/rccharles/content?filterID=participated~obj ecttype~objecttype%5Bthread%5D
    5) Use turingtest2's generated links with the /content suffix as browser bookmark to the ASC discussions: 
    Site map of Communities and Categories
    https://discussions.apple.com/docs/DOC-2463
    6) Adjust the ASC web page layout.
    For FireFox
    I run with Hiroto's modification to user content.  This is the only way these forums are readable for me.  How to adjust the format and layout of ASC Web Pages:
    https://discussions.apple.com/docs/DOC-7501
    For Safari
    "ASCPowerTools is a Safari Extension designed to give more control"
    http://www.etresoft.com/ascpowertools
    7) Read and answer my old posts.  I kind of memorize the time I last posted. ( It's way bad that apple eliminated the last poster to a thread. )
    8) I use tabbed browsering.  From a list of discussions, hold down the command key then click on the link. You get two tabs this way. The original window will keep where you have been.

    I'm not sure if I am writing this in the correct area (this is my second attempt at posting a question), but I have a comment about a recent store experience in Sandusky, OH.  I am not a current Verizon customer, but I was visiting friends and we had to go to the store to get something taken care of.  First off, allow me to compliment the nice, new store.  Boy, its changed over the past few years ago when I was in last. My comment is mostly directed to one specific employee.  When we entered the store, we were "welcomed" by a sloppy dressed gentlemen (his clothes were probably two sizes two small), which really struck me as unusual because every other employee in the store was dressed really "casual" with nice sporty clothing and red shoes.  Either way, after being entered into the computer, the gentlemen told me to wander around or have a seat in the back and someone would be with us soon.  As soon as we walked away from the door, the gentlemen handed his "duty" off to another employee who took over welcoming people coming in.  For whatever reason, I felt glued to him as he stood out to me.  After leaving the door, he immediately went to the back of the room, hunched over a cabinet, where he stood for the next 30+ minutes playing on his phone, frowning and not speaking to anyone around him.  Again, I found this unusual because everyone else was overly friendly and smiling.  I finally decided to walk by and see what he was doing.  It appeared that he was texting someone.  He paid no attention to me whatsoever as I walked by, just continued to frown and text on his phone.  I did take not of his name tag for future reference.  His name was Justin.  I am assuming he's the manager of the location as he was just standing around while everyone else worked.  I do understand that managers aren't necessarily doing the "dirty work" of the employees, but he could have at least found some better fitting clothing (I find it hard to believe Verizon doesn't supply it), been a little friendly, pretended to be busy, and not been texting the entire time we were there.  Again, the store was great, the other employees were very helpful, but the manager seemed to be doing is own little thing and it didn't put off a good image for the rest of the store.  Just wanted to share my comments.

  • Lost my contacts in ios8 update and now I can't post my question here

    I posted my question here and it got deleted and they told me to go post it on the Developer forum cause it contains info about the new version of OSX coming out next month, but I'm not a developer and the developer forum sends me here if it's a question about using a product. And I have a question about using my iPhone 5s. Please don't delete this question again.
    I updated my iphone 5s (64 gig) and ipad 2 (16 gig) to ios 8 last week and I stupidly said yes to iCloud Drive before I read all the warning signs not to. My photos are still there cause I didn't have them in icloud, but my contacts are gone on my phone. I updated my Mac Mini to (the new version of OSX after Mavericks and I'm hoping if I don't say the name of it this post won't get deleted) and I still see all my contacts on my computer, I'm just not sure how to get them back on my phone. Should I restore my phone in itunes to a previous backup from last month? Figured I'd check here before I went with that.
    Please don't delete this post cause I can't post it in the developer forum. This is a question for the support forum. I am an end user.

    An error message came up on the computer and said it couldn't complete the installation.
    When I plug the ipod into the computer nothing happens.  It sill shows the apple icon on the touch and a bar.  It doesn't show in itunes at all.

  • SAP Version to be added in the subject line while posting a question.

    Hi,
    We all have been posting and answering thousands of questions on the SDN. Many times I have seen moderators asking the person who posted a question to use a correct and informative subject line.
    With respect to that, I would like to suggest the moderators to add a rule in the rules of engagement asking the users to provide the SAP Version in the subject line while posting questions.
    This way the person answering the question can appropriately provide information based on that version only and would save the time and effort of everyone.
    Example subject line can be :
    ECC 6.0 Function module xyz is not returning correct results.
    I would like to know the opinion of other users too on what they think about this suggestion.
    Best regards,
    Advait

    In theory - a very good idea.
    In practice - hard to enforce.
    On second thoght, it could be a required parameter. It might have the added benefit of dissuading questions from people who can't figure out which version they have
