Old FCP settings vs. new Super 8 project possibly not optimal??

hi folks! I've got a project that I cut that originated on Super 8 film, and I'm wondering if I've got FCP on the optimal settings for exporting it to quicktime so I can make a DVD. The footage looks pretty good but the Boris titles are fairly pixelated though the only Motion I use is setting opacity at 75%, so I'm wondering if the settings from my last project weren't best for this one. -- Should I be sending the movie to Quicktime at a different setting than below? And further, have the current settings already degraded the picture so I should re-import the raw footage?
Here's my current rundown as I know it -- if you can bear with me (my technology chops are not great)
The film footage was telecine'd to a 10 bit uncompressed quicktime movie.
10 bit 4:2:2 timecode
720x486 (not 480)
I "imported" the footage to FCP by dragging it over from my harddrive.
When I select "settings" from the sequence that my film currently lives in, it says:
compressor is DV/DVCPRO-NTSC.
Scan mode is "interlaced"
Also, frame size is:
720x480 (not 486)
aspect ratio NTSC-DV 3:2
pixel aspect ratio: NTSC - CCIR 601 / DV (720x480)
Thanks very much!!

Well, I doubt you have the drive speed to play back uncompressed. I'm guessing you rendered every clip you put into the DV timeline, and that was how FCP was able to play back...it played the DV render files.
Make a sequence with a ProRes NTSC setting...you'll find that in the AUDIO VIDEO settings under the SEQUENCE PRESET drop down menu. Make a new sequence after you choose it, and then copy and paste the clips into that. Then you will have to highlight them all, and then remove the attributes put on the clips when you put them into a DV timeline, so the EDIT menu, REMOVE ATTRIBUTES...distort perhaps? Basic motion maybe? not sure how the clips were affected.

How can I get my data from a old iPad to a new iPad using iCloud and not iTunes

How can I get my data from a old iPad to a new iPad using iCloud and not iTunes

Restore from the iCloud backup - assuming that you were backing up to iCloud in the first place. If you weren't using iCloud for backup - then you are out of luck.
If you were backing up to iCloud - you have to erase all contents on the iPad in Settings>General>Reset>Erase all content and settings - before you can restore from the iCloud backup.

Just transfer them from iTunes.
If they are not in iTunes. connect the iPod, then File > Devices > Transfer purchases.
Then connect the iPhone and sync these songs.

Transfer to new PC: The project could not be loaded, it may be damaged or contain outdated elements

The Problem
I have transferred a large and functioning Premiere Pro project to a more powerful PC but am unable to run it, stopped by the error message "The project could not be loaded, it may be damaged or contain outdated elements".
Facts
The new PC has a 6-core processor and a different hard drive configuration but the operating system on both is Windows 7 and both PCs host up-to-date Premiere Pro CS6 (as part of Adobe Production Premium). The PCs are networked and Premiere Pro on the old PC can successfully load and run the project file located on the new PC, proving that the transferred file is not damaged. Also, preceding versions of the same project generate the same error message when run on the new PC except, very oddly, for earlier versions saved on or before 28 June 2011, when the project was only a fifth of its current size; those versions load correctly. Contemporary notes show that the editing carried out that day was simple timeline editing, ie no After Effects etc (that came later), and the project has worked fine then and since.
So I don't have a damaged project file and don't know what "outdated elements" means.
Help
Any help solving this problem would be much appreciated.

Hi Vinay
As suggested I renamed the additional folder, created a new project, set 'Custom' editing mode, 'Microsoft AVI' as the preview format with 'Uncompressed' codec.
Unfortunately the results were similar to before: On importing the original project into the new project I was sequentially asked for the locations of various files, including After Effects .aep files. The final file location request, for an mp3 audio file, was followed by lots of conforming and indexing. During this process the 'Where is the file XXX.mp3? window stayed locked open. Eventually, with all conforming etc finished, this window was still open and locked. Clicking anywhere on the screen caused a 'ding' and another, smaller, box opened, listing three .aep files. This box asked no questions and gave no options for selecting a file location so, with the topmost file highlighted, I just clicked 'ok' and the box disappeared, leaving the 'Where is the file XXX.mp3?' box still open.
The importing process took about 30 minutes. I waited another 10 minutes, in case something was happening in the background, but with the Task Manager CPU usage value sitting on 0 or 1%, I used it to shut down the project.
For what it is worth, I created a simple new project on the old PC – just a few video clips and transitions in a single sequence (no After Effects etc). This project was then transferred to the new PC and it opened successfully.
Again I remain grateful to you for this and any more advice.
Best regards
Dave

New super router now shoutcast not working in firefox but does in chrome. Problem?

Updated my connection to Fibre so have new super router (still ADSL I think). Now my Internet access - no problem with all my other sites. Shoutcast displays OK but no sound, analyzer shows flat line. No other changes have been done on computer. What can be the problem?
cheers Omhie

Hi omhie2,
It is possible to check how Firefox connects to the internet: [[Advanced settings for accessibility, browsing, system defaults, network, updates, and encryption]] specifically [https://support.mozilla.org/en-US/kb/advanced-settings-browsing-network-updates-encryption#w_network-tab this section] will help troubleshoot the network that may not be detected.
After trying each one, doe Firefox connect to the new connection?

Trouble Replicating Old Mail Settings on New Computer

Hello All,
I have just upgraded notebooks and have run into a problem with my Apple Mail. On my old notebook, I had my mail set up with two accounts as well as some mailbox folders. I looked up on the forums in regards to transferring data and did so successfully via the library/mail and library/preferences route.
My primary gmail account is acting a little fishy though on my new notebook. It has yet to upload any emails from the gmail server except for when I email myself from either the new computer, or my iPhone. I had both notebooks opened up side by side and I was getting new email on my OLD notebook, but not with my new one. Does anyone have any idea what is going on here? I would really appreciate it.
Thanks so much

As it turns out, I almost had it right. I had to put my old "mailboxes" folder in the new location home/library/mail/
Then there was a little preference file that made mail see everything: com.apple.mail.plist
I put that in home/library/preferences and all of my old messages were in the new version, as well as all of my smart mailboxes.

In the new Photo app 'Projects' will not stay open

Hi
In the new Photo app. released last week, I can not get the 'projects' to remain open. It just crashes and closes and actually now , since this afternoon I can not open any of it without it crashing.
i have a mid 2011 iMac running Yosemite 10.10.3.
i have a few photo books, slideshows and cards in the projects if this helps.
If anyone can help I would really appreciate it, even if its just so I can access the photos.
Many thanks.

Many people are reporting the project->crash problem. To the best of my knowledge, there is no fix for it.
For some folks, a temporary workaround is to select View->Sidebar and access the projects *individually*.
Hopefully this will work for you, fairymoo!
Apple's Meta-Problem: Inexplicably, "Photos" is *NOT* listed as an Application Community on the top-level web-site "https://discussions.apple.com/welcome" ... thus plenty of folks (including the poster and me too) have been unable even to find the right community for seeking/posting solutions.
Conclusion: not a smooth roll-out, Apple! Not least, why is the Photos Community so difficult to locate?

K8N NEO4 new old power supply died new power supply installed will not boot

This is an old build. The K8N NEO4 powers up and is followed by a long beep. The lights on the back of the USB card (4 lights( indicate 3 greens and one red in the upper right corner. According to the instruction manual, this means that Initializing Floppy Drive Controller
This will initialize Floppy Drive and controller. This makes no sense.
I flashed the CMOS both using the red button and removing the motherboard battery to confirm the power supply was bad. In hindsight, I wish I had not.
I switched from a 500W power suppply that died to a 430W thermaltake power supply. I've disconnected a hard drive and a burner to see if power was an issue, it was not the cause.
I'm pulling my hair out here, please help!

"Is it possible the power supply took the CPU with it when it died?"
Yes it's possible that it did that. It's also possible that other components were killed also, that's why changing and trying different parts are required until you find everything that may have been damaged. We can only suggest what might be bad and you or someone else will need to do the actual work, there is no getting around that. We can give the serious advice, you need to do the serious labor.
"...don't want to take the Tuniq tower 120 off if another processor will not work"
Anybody that repairs PC's would need to swap parts to be 100% sure of what's wrong.
Pin #20 is where -5V would be if newer PSU's still had -5V. The only the reason you would need the -5V is if you had an older K8N MB that had Creative sound on it instead of Realtek.

I just got a data transfer from an old mac to my new one and i do not know how to find my files

how do i find my files? its supposed to be under a new account but the apple store made these accounts and i cant log into them bc they have a password

Drag that account's home folder to your current account's desktop and provide an administrator password. If you don't know any administrator passwords on that system, ask the Apple Store.

Re-install FCP 4 on new Mac dual 2.3

I just bought a new G5 dual cor 2.3 and used the migration software which transfers most of the software from my old G4 to the new G5.
However, it does not transfer FCP 4.
I did a lot of search and found all the neccessary tweaks to get FCP 4 running on the new PCI graphic cards. What I did not find is the basic
'... how do I install FCP 4 on a new machine?'
Do I have to de-install it on the old one and get a kind of 'transfer-licence ID' and if so, how?
Do I just do a fresh install and poke in my licence number - but wouldn't it be a breach of the licence because I installed it then literally on two maschines.
Sorry, I really don't have a clue.
Thanks for help

I'd just install it on the new machine. Delete the app from the old machine and you've only got one install.

HT201269 I am trying to restore an old back up to a new phone but it will not allow because it says the "old iphone" password is incorrect but the password I am using is the only password I have?? Help? What does this mean?

I am trying to restore an old iphone to a new iphone but it will not allow becaue it says the "old iphone" password is incorrect but the passwork I am using works for my ITunes account and is the only password I have..?? Please help!! Thank you.

When using the iPhone with the Windows OS, you need to have the Apple Mobile Device Service running. It should start automatically when you start the computer, but sometimes things happen. Use this support document to try and restart the service. See if that helps.

HT1386 need to sync my old ipod with my new computer, How do I keep my old stuff on the new computer?

How can I transfer stuff from my old Ipod to my new computer?

Still did not work. I did everything listed. The program did not work as needed because it is only the free version and I should not have to pay for 3rd party software for something like this. Also, that article is outdated because windows 7 does not come with contacts software, but I managed to get it to work with a helpful post on another forum. Itunes still asked me to replace current iPod's data, I went ahead and clicked yes. I'll just go ahead and redownload all of my music and whatnot. Thanks anyway.
