Opinion: 1080 standard / 2k - 4k Not for every production

I remember when HD 1st became accessible for freelancers. I think we all remember hdv long GOP to tape. This to me was the real transition point. At that time most tv commercials were ntsc 720x480. There was a time when you would up charge for HD (even 720p) because of the amount of space it took on the HDD and the resources needed to smoothly edit it. Hooray esata!!
Lots of production houses rushed to become hd only facilities with only a 10% increase in price.
But since the avc codec has came out most commercials are 1080p. So what was next chase? 2k and 4k. The thing to this is that i do not think that everyone is understanding why to 4k. I do not think that 2k or 4k is a default resolution for commercials specifically. It is more for theatric film-like productions. Though there are commercials filmed 4k i believe it is overkill for productions under $20k.
We all buy small, medium and large or basic, standard and premium. In my opinion shooting certain things above 1080p for under $10k or shooting 4k for under 20k is a problem for proper pricing and client understanding of what value their budgets can realistically achieve.
If the industry makes a habit of shooting ultra HD formats for CHEAPNESS/ Low Budgets then it dilutes the levels of productions available. Soon you will have a 4k underwater shoot with a drone shot for 5k. I do not think that this is a worthy goal.

It depends on who you are. The proper goal for a shooter is to satisfy customer requirements so that he can feed his family. If those requirements are HD, then that is all he needs to shoot.
However, I think 4K televisions are going to come down in price to the point where the new owners of these televisions are not going to want to buy hard drives with movies on them just to have something to watch. A new codec (H.265 probably) and a new disc format, will probably make it possible to distribute 4K like you now distribute HD. When that happens, there is no fighting progress. It happen even if you don't want it to.
Are there people who do not have HDTV? Sure. And you can deliver SD to them. But the television stations have almost all moved over to HD, or are moving over, or will move over soon. Do you want to be left behind.
I guess my point is that there is no point in thinking about it being a worthwhile goal. Your customer will determine that. And most likely, some of them will ask for 4K even though they don't "need" it yet. What are you going to do? Give away the business to a 4K capable shooter?
The ability to shoot 4K is getting cheaper and more common. The ability to edit it, will eventually become more common, hopefully H.265 will help with that.
Not to depress you, but the newest Samsung Galaxy smartphone is rumored to have the ability to shoot 2K. How many more years before the iPhone has 4K? Are you going to tell your customer that he can't have 4K when his teenager can shoot it? You know that is apples and oranges, but he doesn't.

Open source / Commercial version, it's up to you! Why not for ESB products

Please comment this forum and help us to get Sun's support for Open ESB as we can get it for open-Solaris or Glassfish.
Thanks
Paul
Extract from
http://www.pymma.com/eng/People/Blog-Paul-Perez-Chief-Architect
Jonathan Schwartz new policy
Few years ago, Jonathan Schwartz replaced Scott McNealy as SUN Microsystems CEO. Swartz's first decision was to convert Sun into an Open-Source company. Consequently, Solaris OS, Application Servers and even the Java language were opened and their sources published. At present, Sun is viewed as a major Open Source actor.
Sun�s new sales philosophy proposes, on one hand, its best products in an open-source format and on the other hand, commercial support and hardware. The best examples of this new philosophy are Open-Solaris and Glassfish. You can download these products, use them and test them. After you have built applications with these tools and wish to move into a production environment, you can buy support from Sun.
Open source or Commercial version, it's up to you!
Alternatively, you can as well buy commercial versions at the first place. Even if open sources and commercial versions are slightly different than the open-source ones, more than 95% of their code is originated from the same development branch. Example : SUN proposes its queue messaging system with two similar versions, respectively named �SUN QM� and "Open-MQ". The only difference is the amount you pay for the technical support.
Everyone can find advantages in this sales policy on Sun products: companies and developers try and develop for free and can rely on Sun support in production. As a matter of fact, Sun uses these �free� products as Trojan horses to conquer new market shares, penetrate new companies and sell Sun hardware.
Why not for ESB Products ?
Unfortunately, there is a small issue in this picture: Sun's ESB platform is the exception in this sales policy. In Fact, Sun proposes two different tools for ESB developments. The first product. "JCAPS", is a commercial product inherited from Seebeyond. The second product, "Open-ESB" is based on JBI specifications (JSR 208) and was developed from scratch about 2 years ago.
Alas, JCAPs and Open-ESB are definitely two different products.
JCAPS ignores JBI specifications
JCAPS connectors are based on JCA specifications and not on JBI.
Open-ESB development process is based on Web services specifications, JCAPS not.
JCAPS and Open-ESB developments are not compatible.
Hundreds other differences can be found between the two products.
We can understand that for a while, for technical, marketing or business reasons, a company supports more than one product lines with the same functionalities. IBM does it and Oracle buying BEA will do it also.
However, there are several things that Pymma would like to understand:
Why the download of JCAPS is only available for authorized JCAPS Partner ?
Why SUN does not provide support for open-ESB as it does for Glassfish, Open Solaris or Open MQ ?
Why JBI or Open-ESB are never mentioned at most ESB seminars organized by Sun Centres in the UK ?
Why Sun marketing, Gurus or consultants are prolix about JBI in the public lectures and technical forums, and at the same ignore Open-ESB when they advice companies ?
Is the policy of Jonathan Swartz policy only applicable for Java Legacy applications (Application Server, Message queuing�)? not for ESB tools ?
Of course, we already asked these questions to SUN but we never got clear answers.
Thanks for clarifying Sun's position
Many companies believe in JBI and their developers spend time and energy working on Open-ESB . These companies would certainly be interested to hear Sun's explanations on the above questions. They probably want to be sure that Open-ESB will not be just a prototype for the new JCAP version (only reserved for SUN JCAPS Partners). They certainly want to be credible by proposing SUN's professional support on Open-ESB as they do for Glassfish and Open-Solaris. After, they only need from SUN to clarify its position and give a clear prospective for the future of JBI and Open-ESB. We hope that through this blog Sun will hear us and we will give us clear answers.

Hi Leonie,
My iPhoto is iPhoto 11, version 9.4.2. I believe my Aperture is the latest version but I don't know how to verify that when I can't open it. I regularly accept any updates.
How I restored my Aperture Library: I opened Aperture, clicked on Time Machine, and navigated to the Aperture Library that had been backed-up earlier in the day. It took a while to restore.
When done, I opened Aperture (yes, at that point I could still open it). It opened up on the still-empty Library, and I had to manually change it to the restored library, every time I opened aperture after that. This was annoying, so, I then went to FINDER and deleted the empty Library. I probably shouldn't have done this; I noticed it had the words "current default" in its filename.
From that point on, FINDER shows the restored aperture library (actually two restored aperture libraries, since I accessed Time Machine a second time to restore an even older backed-up version) but of course, not the empty Library that had had "default" in its filename. And... I can no longer open Aperture.
Hope you can help me, thanks so much,
Glensdaughter

Installed successfully, but can't update. Error "Serial Number is not for qualifying product"

I installed Adobe Creative Suite Production Premium (CS5) on a new PC (Windows 8.1). Installation was successful. I uninstalled it on old PC and de-activated it. My problem is that I can't Update. Without Updates, I can't read newer Canon photos (so I can't use Bridge or PhotoShop). In doing the install the first time, I put in an incorrect Adobe product number (I think from Elements 8.0, which I purchased years ago). I have re-installed twice using the correct serial number, but same result: I can't Update the programs and get a "Serial Number is not for qualifying product" error.. Please help. Dave

In ALV: Subtotals for every month, not for every day, possible?

Hello,
in my Alv-Grid I have a date column, which I want to use to generate subtotals. But I don't want to have a subtotal for every date, but for every month. Is there a method to accomplish this with subtotals? Thanks.
Regards, Lars.

Hi Stembergg,
1. Its not possible with only date field.
2. However, if you have one EXTRA FIELD
   which contains the Month
   only then it is possible.
( You may hide this extra field if   u don't
won't to display. But anyhow, u need to
modify your logic and the internal table
   and accordingly populate the extra field)
3. There is contraint in alv
    that we cannot use any function for any column value
    for any claculation/grouping purpose.
Hope it helps.
Regards,

GI for every Operations, not for whole production order

Hi,
I have assigned the components into operation and would like to do goods issue for every operations.
But MIGO or MB1A only do goods issue for whole production order, there is no selection fields for operation no.
How can I only do the good issue for production order by operations?
thank you very much.
Best Regards,
John H

Hi,
You can do goods issue for each operation using backflushing while confirming each operation.
In CA02 that is in routing go to component allocation select the components which you want to issue for certain operation and select new assignment. In new assignment select the operation.
In the same manner select the components which you want to issue and assignment it to operation.
Hope it will help you.

Let's ask HP to categorize support forum for every product model or at least every model series

Hi all HP fans!
I really wonder why not HP Support Forum is not categorized by every product model or at least model series to help customers post issues in apropriate group and helpers don't get confused in thousands of unrelated questions.
Regards
AlizzA

Because they don't care...
I've been a service tech for 18 years repairing HP products, from Laserjets to Designjets and I used their technical support web site and phone support for help when I was stuck.
In the early years Tech Support was great! They were a knowledgeable and helpful team of bright people.
This was when HP had direction and vision.
They cared about the customer, the customer's satisfaction and the companies image.
Not any more.
Just look at the piles and piles of ticked off people ranting about HP's Customer Support...it's shameful!
HP pumps out new products faster than ever, dropping support for relatively new products and leaving customers and 3rd party support providers out in the cold.
They put up self-help websites like this one to make themselves feel better.
We've moved on to Canon products and let me tell you...we've never looked back!
Customer and tech support are second to none as well as the products!

any help is appreciated.

Missiejackson the error you are experiencing is likely due to a previous installation of Adobe Creative software. Please use the available uninstallers in the Programs and Features control panel to remove any installed software. Once this is done you will want to run the CC Cleaner Tool to ensure complete removal. You can find instructions and a download link at Use the CC Cleaner Tool to solve installation problems | CC, CS3-CS6 - http://helpx.adobe.com/creative-suite/kb/cs5-cleaner-tool-installation-problems.html.

How do I copy artwork to iPod just once for an album, not for every track?

I don't download music. All my music is ripped from CDs that I own.
After I rip a CD, choosing "Get Album Artwork" from the Advanced menu normally works, and if not, I find the highest quality image I can from the web, and copy & paste that into the large box at the bottom left of iTunes.
It appears that iTunes stores the artwork image once for each track, not once for an album, so for example if an album has 10 tracks, the image is stored 10 times somewhere on my hard drive. This is inefficient, but not problematic.
However, when I (manually) select & drag-copy the resulting 10 tracks to my iPod, the artwork doesn't transfer along with the tracks. I then have to copy the artwork & having selected all the tracks on the iPod, paste it in. I have the "Manually manage music and videos" option selected, as I simply don't trust the automatic system. I want to supervise what is copied, when, and in what way. I don't necessarily want everything in my iTunes library on my iPod.
What concerns me is that for each album, the artwork image is stored repeatedly for each track on the iPod, like on my hard drive, not once for an album. As space will be at a premium on the iPod once I start copying more & more of my CDs across (I have only done 9 so far) the point will come where a large number of MB of space will be wasted on the iPod with duplicate artwork, which will mean that I'll be able to fit far fewer CDs on the iPod than would otherwise have been the case. The fact that I have chosen 192 kbps and the AAC Encoder for all my CD ripping also means that the iPod will fill up faster than if I'd used the standard 128 kbps and MP3 settings. I'm not prepared to go below 192 kbps though. My soon to be purchased Sennheiser CX500 earphones deserve that much!
Is there any way to force iTunes and the iPod to store the artwork only once for each album, and if there is, can this method be retrofitted to the CDs I've already copied to my iPod, or do I have to start again from scratch? I've already filled 670 MB with the 9 CDs, many of which are only 40 or 45 minutes long, so I'm already getting worried!
Alternatively, am I simply mistaken about all this? Does it only *look like* the artwork is duplicated, whereas it's actually only being stored only once?
Many thanks.

In reply to PT:
Why don't you paste the artwork to the track in iTunes first (fast) THEN send them over to your iPod?
I already do that. Every track has the correct artwork in place before I copy it to the iPod.
I ripped about another 10 albums yesterday. Most of the albums got their artwork automatically from the iTunes store. For a few I had to get artwork from the internet.
When I rip a CD, one of 3 different things happens:
1. The album get its artwork automatically from the iTunes store, and then when I shift-click all the tracks and drag them to the iPod icon, all the artwork transfers along with the tracks.
2. As per 1, except the artwork doesn't transfer when I copy the tracks to the iPod. I then copy the artwork from one of the tracks on the Mac, then shift-click all the equivalent tracks on the iPod, and right-click in the large box at the bottom left of the screen, and click on paste.
3. The iTunes store has no artwork for the album, so I copy the artwork from an image on the internet, shift-click all the tracks on the Mac, and right-click in the large box at the bottom left of the screen, and click on paste. I then shift-click all the tracks and drag them to the iPod icon. They all copy across, but the artwork never does, so I then shift-click all the tracks on the iPod and right-click in the large box at the bottom left of the screen, and click on paste.
Pasting the artwork to the tracks, in either scenario 2 or 3 above, takes ages (often longer than copying the tracks themselves) and a progress bar appears, listing each track in order as the artwork is added to the track, accompanied by the spinning beach ball. The slowness is mostly down to using USB 1.1, but for a 20 track album, it appears that the iPod is storing the artwork 20 times, once for each track, not just once in total (for the album).
It appears that in scenario 1 though, the iPod is only storing the artwork once.
In reply to Landon Dial:
well first you go to one track, right click and press get info. you go to where it says artwork, right click the image and press copy, then you exiit out of that. then you can press ctrl and select each song you want to have that artwork. if there highlighted then its working. then right click again and press get info. then go to artwork and press paste and it should have copied the image to all of your tracks
Thanks for your input, but you've completely misunderstood my question. I know how to add artwork to tracks. What I'm trying to figure out is how to force iTunes/the iPod to only store artwork once for each album, not once for each track, even if the artwork comes manually from me finding it on the internet, not automatically via the iTunes store.
In reply to Chris CA:
When iTunes gets the artwork, there is only one copy on your computer.
That single artwork is linked with iTunes to each song on the same album.
When you add artwork yourself, it is copied directly into the ID3 artwork tag for each song. If you have a 200kB artwork file, each song will be 200kB larger.
From what you say it sounds like there's no way to force the issue then. If you have to paste in artwork yourself, then it's one copy per track, not one per album. A serious flaw which I hope Apple will address!
Using playlists is very easy to manage what goes onto your iPod.
That's true, but I don't really have any need for playlists. I want 95% of what's in my iTunes library copied across (complete albums, with artwork). It's the remaining 5% (the odd individual track, amusing audio files, and other odds & sods) that I don't want copied. Copying things manually suits me fine, and I wouldn't consider another method unless it solved the problem that this topic is about!

When I record midi there are three layers of the same note for every note?

Hi guys,
Using Logic Pro 9. Mac OS X 10.6.8
This is a problem that strangely goes away and comes back every so often so I want to be able to fix it permanently.
My midi notes on the piano roll are being duplicated and sometimes tripled. I have to go through every note and delete the layers of notes to just get the one original layer.
Can anyone suggest a fix?
Kind regards,
Max

ok, just want to correct. it appears that moving the region 4 beats to the right corrects the issue but only if I start playback from the beginning, If I drag the cursor to the start of the region then it must wait 4 beats till sound starts coming out of the speakers. I also tried unchecking the 24 bit option in advanced preferences but that did not help either. so it appears it is simply some kind of playback lag bug of some sort. hoping it gets sorted since this makes it kind of aggravating to work with. I tried opening the older 6.0.5 Garageband and it does not have this issue but for some reason I cannot create a new guitar track, i have to create a software instrument track then change it to a guitar track. Also all my guitar amps are missing so it appears the older version is being slowly crippled with each new version of OS X.

FDF import/export not for every PDF available

Hello,
I am using Adobe Reader X 10.1.2 and I have used it to create corrections on PDFs via comment functionality. To avoid big data amounts I want to use the FDF export/import. This was already possible on several PDF documents, but is not possible on every PDF document. What kind of conditions are necessary to allow the FDF import/export?
Regards
Dieter

Hello,
I only found one functionable, where export is available and there is a menu Extensions available too. I have seen, that this document was created by Acrobat Distiller.
The idea is, if there is one original PDF, where several user have to make corrections, that every user has just to supply his correction-FDF, and in the end we still have the untouched PDF (which can be big) and many FDFs as correction files, which include all the comments.
Regards
Dieter

How create dynamic URL for every row shown in the report?

Hi,
Iam new to this Application. I created one interactive report to find the number of bugs logged for every product and its sub component for past one year. The report will look like below structure in the application.
Product Subcomponent Total
P1 S1 10
P2 S2 4
P2 S21 15
Now i want to pick the value of Prouct and sub component for every row dynamiaclly and want to generate the URL with the conditions and make it as hyperlink for the Total Column.
Iam able to make hyperlink for the Total column using the edit options for the total attribute, but it is opening the same page for all the rows in the total column. I want to generate dynamic URL by picking the value prodcut and sub componenet dynamically from the report for every row and want to make it as hayperlink for every row individually.
Please tell me how to do this?
Please revert back if you are not clear. Appericiate for your quick help.

Hello <unknown user>,
So you already set the Column Link attributes for your Total column. Should all links go to the same page, but with different parameters (ProductID, SubcompID)? Or to another page? And how can you determine that page?
Assuming you'll go to a sort of detail page or form:
Target = [Page in this app]
Page = <your target page no>
Item1 = <ProductID field in target page>
Value = #PRODUCTID#
Item2 = <SubcompID field in target page>
Value = #SUNCOMPID#
(you can use the ' flashlight' for getting the correct values)

Text/Label issue - being repeated for every record inside repeating frame.

Hi
I have a small issue:
In the repeating frame, the label (text) for the column is being repeated for every record. How may I have the text (label) appear just once and not for every record?
Thx!

Move headings outside of the repeating frame.
