Possible improvement suggestions

Ok,so in itunes you can have it set so that one playlist is set for random and another for repeat, and another for repeat one. etc. etc. in any case it holds that information in memory so that you know you have a preset way in which it will be played. I would like to see that same service extended out into a new software for the ipod 5th gen. Because as it is you have to set that up every time you choose a playlist on you ipod. itunes remembers and the ipod does not.
The second suggestion is a bit flaky, but I thought it would be neat anyway. That is to have the ability to switch on a background picture behind the menu screens sort of like a desktop image. It may add a little more personality to ones individuality, since everyone has an ipod now.
Cheers

Improvement Suggestion: Add Animation to Movie Clips in Repositories

Hi there,
I have been trying to post this improvement suggestion by filling-in the corresponding form but it didn't allow me enough characters to describe it correctly. So I am posting it here now and going to reference it in the Improvement Suggestion form...
Currently it's hard to perform a good edit because Adobe Premiere Pro doesn't provide a clip basket showing all available clips running, allowing the user to preview and choose from different takes of the same scene.
I'd like to suggest to animate all movie clips in all repositories, like Media Browser and Project panels, in order to create kind of an animated lightbox.
These clips should be run without audio, in low resolution and, optionally, at a lower framerate, depending on the machine's capabilities and user's preferences.
Clicking (and thereby activating) one of those movie clips should ...
magnify that clip,
enable audio for that clip,
display a timeline,
and display an in-point and an out-point marker.
Using these markers, the user shall be able to limit the preview loop of the clip in that particular repository (e.g. to repetitively monitor only a small scene of the movie clip).
Here's a link to a small movie clip demonstrating the improvement suggestion as a virtual live demonstration:
(While recording I was suffering from a tonsillitis, so the text might be hard to understand from time to time.)

After carrying this thought with me around for a while I'd like to add an update to my original suggestion:
When comparing different takes (= clips) of the same recorded live scenes, the usual editing process while working with Premiere Pro would be to drill down on the take that's supposed to be inserted into the sequence. So if there were 8 takes of the same scene, first there would be 8 clips to compare, then 7, 6, 5, 4... until the final clip is found.
In the course of the comparison process it would be very helpful to be able to "switch off" those takes that have been decided not to be used. So I'd like to update my suggestion to provide the following additional features:
Each preview clip should provide a play/pause feature. So playback shall be switched on and off individually for each of the preview clips.
As mentioned in my original suggestion, when activated (zoomed), the preview should provide buttons for manipulating that clip preview's playback. Originally I suggested a Play Audio button (with a speaker symbol).
I now, additionally, suggest to add a Play/Pause button to an activated (zoomed) clip preview. If playback is active, that button should display a Pause icon. If playback is paused, the same button should display a Play icon.
Given that, an active preview would be displayed something like this:
After a clip has been selected for an insert, the next editing step would be to search a clip from the repository for the next insertion into the sequence. So all tracks would be back in the game.
So there should be a new menu item, resuming playback of all preview clips in the repository: "Edit > Preview > Play all clips".
If the user wants to concentrate on the Program Montitor video, he/she should be able to pause all preview clips. So I suggest the should be a new menu item complementing the previous one: "Edit > Preview > Pause all clips".
Some people might prefer not to see any animation in the repositories at all. For them there should be a new option available in Premiere Preferences to pause all preview clips by default (this setting would equal to the current behaviour).
The user might want to concentrate on a single preview clip and just want to have this single clip being played back when activated (zoomed).
So I suggest there should also be a Solo option available.
By holding the [CTRL] key down while clicking the Play/Pause button suggested in provision #1, all preview clips should be paused and the currently active (zoomed) preview clip should be played back alone.
In my suggestion I have been focussing on using Premiere Pro with the mouse. But there should be keyboard shortcuts available for all these actions, too.

How to possibly improve export settings - suggestions?

I am creating a mobile website that will display video clips of American Sign Language. Please go to this page:
http://designerandpublisher.com/urban/site/clips-31-35---urban-asl.html
Please view this only on a phone device. Scroll to bottom and play the video called 320 Test Clip.
So far I've been able to find a Premiere export setting that looks pretty clean and most importantly, the file size is somewhat small too. The above clip is about 300K in size.
Below are the settings that I used:
I'm always interested in trying to get the best quality for the absolute lowest file size. But I'd like to see if anyone has any ideas on how I can improve the quality further and possibly bring the file size down as well.
PS - thanks for any replies, but please don't ask me to download special programs or add-ons to Premiere. I'm using Premiere 4 (I think from 2009) and I'm happy with it. I'm trying to keep things simple and seeing if I can improve within the software.
Thank you.

I don' t disagree, but your current image is very good at its current resolution. The problem is that on my Galaxy S4 (screen resolution 1080x1920) it looks blurry, but that is because even in portrait mode its 320 pixels are spread to almost 1000 pixels. And I don't appear to have the option of keeping it at the actual resolution. I downloaded the clip to my laptop and played it in VLC player at its actual size. Small and very crisp.

ZEN MICRO: firmware improvements suggesti

Some suggestions and bug-signalations to improve firmware of Zen Micro. (actually I use fw .02.05): [*]play songs in a album not in alphabetical order, but using track number order, for me has more sense, do you? Because concept album, but all albums really, are betted listened in theway artist put their songs... I hope had been clear in my explanation.. [*]insert contacts and appointments direcly in ZenMicro without sincronize with Outlook...
for other useful suggestions people post here!!!
UP THE IRONS! :mrgreen:

. Tracks do play in order of the tag track number, if queued by album.
2. Fair enough.
There are several petitions and wishlists already on the go, so it would probably be better to add your information to them. See Part 2 of the FAQ.

IPhoto "Events" improvement suggestions

Events are an improvement over film rolls. But there are cases that don't work well with Events.
For example, if I take a birthday shoot during the day, then take a picture of my bedroom at night, that final photo doesn't belong to the event. Splitting it produces a pretty awkward event of one picture. This is actually a very common case -- my library if filled with odd pictures taken here and there that don't belong to any logical event.
It is frustrating to have every photo bound to an event. Often I take pictures just to record aspects of my life -- like what I had for dinner or a bunch of books that just arrived. The result is that the average import size is around 3 pictures. The problem is, these "events" have the same display prominence as wedding and birthday pictures. I would love to use the events viewer, but these pictures have no place. I can't hide them since they disappear in the regular photo viewing section too if I do. If I try to collapse them into one event, they soon begin to lose their temporal coherence. The right solution is to have them outside of events. But this is not possible. But the very existence of miscellaneous pictures completely undermine the utility of the events viewer.
I think the premise that events are around 50 photos is too simple an assumption. The fact is, everyone has different shooting habits, and it would be a mistake to make events out of every imported photo.
The novelty of events is in their viewing capability -- fast scrubbing, easy key photo selection and attractive thumbnails. This viewing ability should be extended to photo albums. It would be much more useful if I can view a folder of albums in this way. For example, I have a folder that lists all the European cities I've been to. Each city has its own album. The current way of viewing doesn't allow me to them in events mode. Instead, they are spilled into several pages. Having the events viewer for albums and nested folders would be highly useful.

This is very true. But don't get hung up on the Word, you can make events mean what you want it to mean. In v6 I had Rolls for every import, not every picture belonged to an event - sometimes they might be months apart. So, I managed my Rolls - The Birthday Pics were one roll, but then I created generic Rolls for unrelated pics - March - May 07 was one, for instance. You can do exactly the same with Events.
Remember, Events in the iPhoto Window correspond exactly with the Folders in the Originals Folder in the iPhoto Library package file (Right click on it in the Pictures Folder -> Show Package Contents). So, a photo has to be in some folder somewhere.
And remember the ability to create and manage by Albums is not changed in v7
As to your comments about viewing Albums in the same way as Events, why not send Feedback using the command in the iPhoto menu.

11 Improvement Suggestions

For a long time now I have been looking for a fast useful organizer that will allow me to organize my research PDFs, financial documents, etc. Basically trying to go towards a paperless home office if possible, and at the same time using it to keep up with my research reading. Digital editions meets some of the criteria. I can tag documents by placing them on multiple bookshelves and I can view the documents right there in the program(of course as an ebook reader I guess this is expected). The few things I really hope for is:
1. Easy renaming of titles. Right now I have to go back to acrobat to rename the title to something useful. This is fine for documents I am creating new, but I already have a collection of documents that I don't want to have to go back and change the name on each and every one of them.
2. Have a smart folder which lists all the untagged(non-bookshelf) documents. This way when I import 20 documents at a time I can easily see which ones are left to tag.
3. Allow us to create smart lists. This is why people are resorting to iTunes to organize their pdf documents.
4. Let me go to the file directly. I see the information dialog box about the file lists the location. Why can't I click it and the program opens the folder and highlights the file I am working on.
5. Rotation within editions. Sometimes when I scanned documents in I didn't get the orientation right. Why not let me rotate it and save it?
6. Link to acrobat reader or full version acrobat so that I can make some changes to the file.
7. Combine the organizer within acrobat with this. I would use that organizer, but it doesn't allow me to run it separately without opening the behemoth acrobat. I want a quick organizer where I can locate the document I want and then decide if I want to print/edit or just read the document.
8. If a file changed in the directory, why doesn't it change in Digital editions or at least ask me to locate the renamed file. I haven't even gone as far as checking what happens if I change some other aspect(ie text addition) within acrobat, save it and then go back to editions.
9. Allow me to fill in forms and save, so that I don't have to go to reader or acrobat for this.
10. Why isn't there a hand to allow me to move the page around while reading. This is standard on almost all other adobe product I know. Lets get a unified interface.
11. Make it easier to tag. Maybe even predictive tagging based on content.
The program looks really good. Runs phenomenally fast and could be very useful. If do a search of the web for pdf organizers (especially for windows) you'll see this is one area that there is a desperate need for. Macs have programs like Yep, Papers, Devonthink, etc.. I don't mind DE working as an ebook reader, but I think it could be so much more. Mac users may not be as desperate for some of these features because of Yep or Papers, but as a windows user and a researcher I am in desperate need of something that can do most of the above.
thanks

These are great suggestions. Many of them are on our own lists. However, we are a relatively small team, so it takes us time to get to all of them. With respect to #9, there is not present intent to support this. Part of the rationale for splitting DE off from Acrobat/Reader was to provide a lightweight client that could be used in a number of ways. If you need to support forms, one will need to stick with the more powerful (and larger) Reader.

Improving Suggestion for Elements 12

Is it possible to suggest or add a track to a genius playlist?

Don't get me wrong! I love how genius works, especially the song selected playlists. However sometimes it'll pull up songs that just don't go with the others or it'll not add songs that perfectly match the others in theme, subject matter, tempo and genre!
So I was wondering if there was a way to manually suggest songs to add to specific genius playlists? So as to improve the overall performance of the genius algorithm.

I'm not missing your point at all.
What you want does not exist, which you know.
Therefore I suggested you contact Apple via the feedback form to suggest the feature to them.
If you mean you used the iMix feature to send playlists to Apple then that does still exist.
Go to the Home Page in iTunes Store, then on to the Music main page, scroll down to the bottom of the page and iMix is in the list on the right hand side.
You can still create an iMix directly from a playlist, just select a playlist on your computer and click on the little arrow that appears to the right of the playlist name.

Lenovo Vibe Z2 (not the Pro!) improvement suggestions

Hello, i have just bought the Vibe Z2 (5,5 inch-not the pro).I am very happy with it.it is a great device with great possibilities, BUT i would like to suggest the following
1.you should not release again two devices with almost the same name.it is very confusing for the market.also the superior model always shadows the inferior in every aspect(i.e. reviews,accesories etc)
2.it would be great to offer the option to use pure android instead of lenovo UI.as someone mentioned in this forum, it really doubles the value of the device and in my opinion the prestige of the company(and the possible buyers).although i find Vibe UI awsome.
3.The camera.it is a great camera but i think your software engineers could make it even better. The sensors is there, the lense is there, why not to work to make it even better through an update and make it compete flagship stadars.the photo processing needs to be more mature.More specifically i reallly feel that you need to work in the noise reduction.the photos suffer from this.also the colour saturation in auto mode needs some tweaking and finally the shutter sound!there is no option to mute it!
it would be also great to offer the Z2, the camera tools and software that Z2 Pro uses.
4.please release some accessories for the Vibe Z2(an official functional case for example)
that's it! Thank you for your time.i am really looking forward to make the best from this phone.i trust lenovo listens to its customers for this is the most easy and sufficient way to make a company's products the most competing of all!
Nick

Thank you so much for your suggestions. I will bring them to my manager. Really appreciate it!

Camera improvement suggestion

Hi,
I would like to suggest 2 improvement to the Camera application.
1/ I would like an option to have the file name for photos and movies been something like: YYYYMMDD_HHMMSS
in order to have a direct sort of file with file creation information
with YYYY is year in 4 digits
MM is Month on 2 digits
Dd is day on 2 digits
HH is hour, MM is minute and SS seconds
2/ I would like Movies creation date field populated. This would help to rename properly file if my suggestion 1/ is not implemented.
My 2 cents.

IWeb Improvement Suggestions

Thought I'd post this here to see what everyone else thinks. I originally sent the email to the iWeb Feedback address. (BTW, I know that you can upload only updated pages to a third-party host, but, let's face it, it's a needlessly real pain in the neck.)
"Hi,
I've been using iWeb since about a week after it first came out in '06. I've been very happy with it -- despite some issues, some of which were fixed in the '08 version (like knowing when text is being converted into an image) -- and have stuck with it, despite investigating RapidWeaver and SandVox. Basically, I know the app pretty well by now but lately I've noticed a few things that are missing or could be improved.
a) You have got --simply got to -- allow people FTPing to outside hosts to publish only updated pages. This is the Number One complaint among experienced users, I think. I understand that you're trying to push people in the direction of .Mac hosting, but you're not persuading anyone (I have a .mac account, by the way). Your servers are way too slow to handle real websites and all you're doing is seriously irritating users. I came pretty close to switching to RapidWeaver SOLELY because of this pointless bit of aggravation. I saw a couple of other guys a few days ago on your forums writing that they had in fact gone to RapidWeaver for this reason and were dropping iWeb as a result. In short, in this respect, RapidWeaver (or any web-design app) beats the pants off you.
b) The Zoom facility needs major attention. When I'm working with iWeb I find myself leaning in to the screen to focus on one small part of the page. You need to integrate a magnifying tool of some sort. This would make things a lot easier for a lot of people.
c) Along the same lines, I'm hankering for a quick-and-easy "ruler." The blue guidelines you have are fantastic, but when I'm trying to line up things or measure exact distances between objects/text, I really need a ruler to judge pixel distance, etc. When I'm doing at the moment is drawing a line, moving it to the right spot, cutting it to length, and judging from there whether the distance between, say, two text boxes is appropriate. This is an unnecessarily onerous and time-consuming process -- and it's not even that accurate.
d) I'm a journalist and author, and I'd really appreciate some templates/themes that captured "writing" stuff: typewriters, pens, quills, paper, gold-embossed letters, and NEWSPAPER-TYPE COLUMNS.
e) You need clearer and more obvious instructions to help people learn about web-safe fonts. The flood of queries and comments in the Forums from people wanting to know why their website looks different in Explorer is neverending. The problem is that they blame iWeb, not Explorer, which is an admittedly atrocious browser. What I would really like is some ability to "see" the iWeb website in various browsers BEFORE I publish it to a folder or .mac. There must be some way of replicating a browser-shot within iWeb so that people's frustration would be immensely reduced at the outset. What's happening now is that I have to publish to a folder, upload it via CyberDuck to GoDaddy, then check out what the site looks like in PC Explorer and Firefox. If something small needs to be changed, I have to do it all over again -- and since you refuse to allow us to publish only altered pages, this whole process of changing one tiny thing can take up close to an hour. And my website's only about six pages long! I don't even want to think about what happens if you have 36 or 56 pages.
f) Please oh please oh please introduce expanding menus, accordions, and the like . . .
g) What is up with the inability to handle more than a single Site at a time and being unable to split them up before publishing? Thank goodness for the third-party developers who have come up with ways to get around this, but to tell you truth, they shouldn't need to. Fix this asap.
h) The Blog pages need work. I tried to start a blog for the website using iWeb and, though it looks OK, I've edging heavily towards only providing a link to WordPress or Blogger and keeping it there instead. Why? Because, I'm using the Darkroom template (which comes with Futura font) with Trebuchet (because Futura is not web-safe, thanks to Mr. Bill Gates, meaning that I have to change everything to an image). Now, on the Entries page, Trebuchet works fine, but on the landing Blog page, no matter how many times I change the font to Trebuchet and save, it always reverts to the Futura default as soon as I leave it in IWeb and come back -- which of course will lead to problems with Explorer. On top of that, if I have to update the blog, say, twice a day, your rule on publishing and uploading every single page again makes the whole blogging thing a real chore. I'd vastly prefer keeping the blog on my own website, but you're kind of forcing my hand.
i) OK, that's about it."
