Question about making a "highlight tape" in FCE & and trying to save HDspac

All, I am transfering all of my old home videos to DVD. As I am doing this I was going to make a "highlight" tape of each one of my kids. I am half way through capturing all the video but I am running out of space on my (2) Hard drives. I noticed If I made a DVD of a few clips and then deleted the captured & rendered files, as well as the "DV" file (to make more room) that my clips in the seperate SEQUENCE do not work. What is the best way I could do this, since I have to go through all the film before I can export my "highlight" sequence? Thanks.

Personally, I'd buy another hard drive or two. 320GB Lacie d2 Extreme HDs have been going for ~$145 on newegg.com for a few months now. I think you will find editing down your highlights will be much easier if you only have to work in a single FCE project from your original captured clips.
If/when you export a self-contained QT DV movie you get the same quality as the input files (captured clips) - however - if your intent is continued editing with the exported movie, keep in mind that 1) when you export you lose the benefit of the FCE project file and you will have to treat the exported movie as an imported clip in a new FCE project, 2) the movie is flattened in the sense that any effects, filters or adjustments you applied in the FCE project will be permanently embedded in the resulting movie, 3) you expose your video multiple times to the risks attendant with exporting - for example, dropped frames and other possible gremlins and 4) the exported file will itself take up ~13GB per hour of movie.

    I have a question about extracting pages.  When I do the function, adobe saves the individual files as "<file name><space><page number>", so the files look like this "filename 1.pdf", "filename 2.pdf", "filename 3.pdf".  Without too many gory details, I am using excel to concatenate some data to dynamically build a hyperlink to these extraced files.  It casues me problems, however, for the space to be the the file name.  Is there any way to change the default behavoir of this function to perhaps use a dash or underscore instead of a space?

    No, you can't change the default naming scheme. You can do it yourself if you extract the pages using a script instead of using the built-in command.

  • Some question about fade in // fade out by hideEffect and showEffect in Actionscript

    Some question about fade in // fade out by hideEffect and
    showEffect in Actionscript
    Please kindly take a look at the following page:
    http://camusmiu.no-ip.com/HounganQuestion/PictureHolderTest.html
    (can view source)
    I tried to make an image preloaded and scale the image to
    it's preferred size.
    When I came to consolidate the stuff into a component, I
    found the application goes weird as I implementation the show/hide
    effect.
    The third trial which just hide and show the images directly,
    instead of using viewstack, fail to bring the second image onto
    screen.
    It just used fadeOut instead of fadeIn(you see there is a
    flash of the second image)
    After some study of showEffect and hideEffect behaviour,
    seems the mechanism of hide/show a component works in this way:
    this._fadeIn:Fade = new Fade();
    this._fadeIn.alphaFrom = 0;
    this._fadeIn.alphaTo = 1;
    this._fadeIn.duration = 1000;
    this._fadeOut:Fade = new Fade();
    this._fadeOut.alphaFrom = 1;
    this._fadeOut.alphaTo = 0;
    this._fadeOut.duration = 1000;
    Component_A.visible = true;
    Component_A.setStyle("showEffect", this._fadeIn);
    Component_A.setStyle("hideEffect", this._fadeOut);
    then when I set Component_A.visible = false, the sequence
    works like following:
    Component_A.visible = true
    Component_A.visible = true, alpha = 100;
    Component_A.visible = true, alpha = 50;
    Component_A.visible = true, alpha = 0;
    Component_A.visible = false;
    The above sequence works visa versa as:
    Component_A.visible = false;
    Component_A.visible = true, alpha = 0;
    Component_A.visible = true, alpha = 50;
    Component_A.visible = true, alpha = 100;
    Component_A.visible = true;
    (Correct me if i am wrong)
    ========================================================================================== ====
    From what I observe from the application, I have two
    question.
    1) When more than one component using the this._fadeIn,
    this_fadeOut as the hide/show effects, the component in instance of
    this._fadeIn? will it mess out if more than one component using the
    fadeIn instance in the same time?
    2) from the third component, i.e. PictureHolder3, when I load
    other the picture , it fade out the new image instead of fading
    in... Seems there is problem if I hide show too frequent. I think
    when I hide then show right the way, the component only do the hide
    part...
    Can someone pls look into it and tell me what I did wrong?
    Cuz in normal practice I don't think appropriate to use ViewStack
    in Actionscript...

  • Questions about making playlists

    I have 2000 songs in my library. some are christmas, some are show tunes, some are classical and most are pop/rock/etc.
    about 1500 are in this last catagory and i want to make a play list w/them on it--because i do not want my random play to hit upon a 14 minute classical piece or a christmas tune when i am mellowing in pop etc.
    many came from napster so are not attached to albums etc.
    my question is--is the only way i can create the list for these 1500 songs by literally clicking on each on and either dragging them into a playlist, or by highlighting them individually and then doing the create playlist function.
    since i want to create separate playlists for the holiday and classical anyway, is there some way to make those playlists and put them in a separate LIBRARY as well--in other words remove them from the current library and then automatically make a play list w/the remaining songs w/o having to highlight individual songs.
    does this make any sense.

    thanks. sounds like click and drag or highlight and do a new playlist are my only options for this volume of songs but that is fine.
    also thanks for the answer to the library question. when I thought about it, decided that was too much work--probably just need to resolve to work thru the 2000 songs to organize, theen all will be right w/my (iPod) world.
    thanks again

  • Iphone 4 is making me double-tap the screen and is reading everything to me. How do I make that stop?

    My grandmother has an iphone 4. She doesn't know what happened but suddenly it started to read her everything and is making her double-tap her screen. How do I get that setting removed?

    This has to do with accessibility. You can triple-tap the home button to get it off for right now. Then go into Settings>General>Accessibility and turn off VoiceOver. If you have difficulty getting there, to use VoiceOver, you tap once to select an item, double-tap to activate it and swipe with 3 fingers to scroll.

  • Question about get web service result in actionscript and convert data format

    Hi, All
    I have question about how to get dataset from web services
    and put it in tree structure. I have 2 questions about this:
    1, How can I get data correctly in actionscript?
    I have no problem to get data by
    <mx:ArrayCollection id="acFolder"
    source="{mx.utils.ArrayUtil.toArray(MyGServices.getFolder.lastResult)}"
    />
    And display in datagrid.
    But when I try to use
    public function
    handleFolderContents(event:mx.rpc.events.ResultEvent):void{
    arData=mx.utils.ArrayUtil.toArray(event.result);
    acData=new ArrayCollection(arData);
    input.text=acData.getItemAt(0).id;
    Seems I can’t get data, it always say:
    TypeError: Error #1009: Cannot access a property or method of
    a null object reference.
    2, how to convert data format
    I get data from web service and want to convert it to tree
    structure, as mention below:
    I get:
    <Array>
    <id>111</id>
    <Name>Production1</Name>
    </Array>
    <Array>
    <id>222</id>
    <Name>Production2</Name>
    </Array>
    Convert to:
    <mx:XMLList id="treeData">
    <node>
    <node label="Production1" data="111">
    <node label="Production2" data="222"/>
    </node>
    </node>
    </mx:XMLList>
    Please help me.
    Thanks.

    First, don't specify the package path in the argument
    declaration. Instead import the event object:
    import mx.rpc.events.ResultEvent;
    The docs state this emphatically.
    Second, try "lastResult", in place of "result":
    arData=mx.utils.ArrayUtil.toArray(event.lastResult); // I am
    not positive about this. I maybe recall reading that result was ok
    for the event object, but maybe not.
    Finally, why do you want to convert the xml? You certainly
    could, but it would be a manual process, recursively reading the
    existing xml nodes and building the new structure, but again, why?
    Just use a labelFunction if necessary to display the nodes as
    you wish.

  • Question about final format for integrated film clips and moving images in webpages created by Muse

    About a year ago I gave up even trying to construct websites. There were too many new factors and technical aspects of correct scripts and coding to make it interesting for a designer with no interest in programming. It´s understandable that all new gadgets such as mobile surf panels, mobile internet on different cell phones, lap tops and stationary computers and a lot of different browsers made it impossible to run with just plain html. But when I found out that many viewers couldn´t even watch Flash movies or solutions with flash components I said enough is enough.
    Now a while ago when HTML5 was released I heard that it made it possible to create films and almost identical content as with Flash films without using them. Bought some templates and realized that it really worked. So here are my questions:
    What format does Adobe Muse CC use when I add films and stuff into it, and what format will come out of it when it´s an official website?
    Do Adobe Muse CC convert film formats so they will be visualized correctly on the end viewers browser, computer or phone?
    Will Adobe Muse CC advice me of what film or animation format will be the best for my viewers on the web or on a mobile internet?
    Are there any guidelines available for how I shall save and export filmclips or animations before they are imported into Adobe Muse CC?
    Regards

  • Question about MSN on my new DC G5 and about Burning on Itunes

    Hey guys I have a question about ripping music to itunes, I have a Dual Core 2.0 and was wondering if it was normal that my ripping speed is round 14.5 one some cd's and on other cds 27.5 lol i have ripping to maximum, but the weirdest thing is that if i burn data to a CD, it does it faster than ever, compared to my old comp, but my old comp use to rip I tunes some times faster.
    how cna i check if my super drive is working fine or is this pretty normal? like DVD's work fast on the comp, and stuff installs pretty fast? so i dont think its a reading problem, and ive done hardware tset and eveyrthing passed
    Secondly, my Gf also has a mac and i think she has the smae problem or at least she says she does, and that is when running MSN Messenger i get signed off alot, saying that my network connection has been lost when i run Safari all the time on it, and works perfectly and FAST. is it just that MSN messenger has bugs with mac ? ive heard bout some bugs just dont know if this is one of them

    Make sure you have your CPU speed set to highest. Ripping the CD will depend on CPU and condition of the originial disk. Old disks may take longer.
    As for MSN? If only you and your GF are the users of MSN you might be better switching to AIM or iChat. Here's a review of different IM applications...

  • 4 questions about the the top boxes - SD box and Home media DVR

    Hello. I am going to be getting Fios soon and I have some questions about the boxes. I will be getting the Home Media DVR and 4 SD boxes.
    1) Do these boxes have timers on them to set so the box can turn off at a certain time?
    2) Do these boxes have parental control and if so is it good enough to block things that I do not want my child to see?
    3) How many people can access the home media dvr at the same time to watch already recorded programs
    4) If the Home Media DVR is in the family room can a record be started from the bedroom over the SD set top box (even an hd show)?
    Thanks for any help.

    I have been using two Standard Set Top Boxes for about a year. I have Parental Controls on and all channels locked. When I want to watch a channel, I tune to that channel, note the LOCKED message, which tells me to press the OK button to enter ther Parental Controls PIN and unlock the channel for viewing.
    This has worked flawlessliy for the last year -- ON THE Standard STB's.
    I just ordered the Home Media DVR STB to replace one of my Standardt STB..
    On the Home Media DVR:
    I can set the Parentals Control PIN and lock the channels, in the exact same way I did o nthe Standard STB's. However, when  tuen to ANY channel, I still ge the LOCKED message and instructions to press OK to unlock the channel -- BUT no matter how I press the OK button, the Enter your Parental Conlrols PIN dialog box willl NOT open. Nothing happens -- you CAN NOT view any channel.
    Again, it is the EXACT setup as for the Standard STB, but the OK button will NOT unlock any of the channels.
    If you unlock all channels and LOCK the Ratings, the same problem recurs: OK buitton will never open the "enter your PIN" dialog box.
    I have received two replacement boxes and have spent hours on the phone with some very capable and helpful Techs -- no luck.
    Has anyone else had the same problem? Here's how to test your Home Media DVR:
    1. Menu-Settings-Parental Controls.
    2. You will be prompted to CREATE youre Parental Controls PIN
    3. Enter you PIN twice.
    4. Use the > button to scroll to Enable On/Off and set it on.
    5. scroll down to Control Channels
    6. Press > button to See Locked Channels
    7. Scroll down to Add/Remove Channels
    8. Scroll right to choose LOCK ALL
    9. Press OK and then scroll to YES to lock all channels
    10. Press EXIT to get out of settings.
    11. All channels are now locked.
    12. Go to any channel
    13. A black screen will appear with a lock silhouette with the word LOCKED below, followed by instructions to Press OK to enter PIN and unlock this channel. (plus how to change locks...).
    14.Press the OK button and, if it is working, you will see a dialog box at the bottom of the screen that is titled: UNLOCK, with the channel listed and the instructions to "Enter your PIN using your numeric pad on remote to naje this channel availabe for all users." THere's a PIN box, which shows asterisks for each number entered, with "Press Exit to Cancel" below.
    15. On the Standard STB, it works exactly as described in steps 1 thru 14. On the Media Center DVR, it works up to step `13, but in 14, no matter how you press the OK button, the UNLOCK dialog box never pops us. The Remote STB light flashes on the remove and the REMOTE yellow light flashes on the DVR,  but nothng happens.
    If you have a Home Media DVR, can you please try this and see if it works?
    Thanks,
    John

  • ANOTHER Question about my iMac G3. Mac OS X and RAM

    Hey, I have ANOTHER question about my iMac G3.
    I know that I'm supposed to have the latest firmware updates for my iMac G3 running OS 8.1, which I do, but I read some where these firmware updates could only be updated if you're running OS 9.2. Yet when I run the firmware updater, it says my firmware is up to date. I just wanted to make sure this was correct because I just ordered an OS X 10.2 CD today, and I don't want my mac to be "dead" when I install it.
    My next question is how much RAM can my mac hold. It's an iMac G3 with a 233 mhz processor, if that makes a differemce.
    Again, thanks to the people who have helped me with my first Mac.

    hi there--
    unfortunately you require system 9.1 or 9.2 for the required firmware update 1.2 for your computer http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?artnum=86117. so you'll have to install that if you want to install 10.2. it may work for you for a little while, but then you could possibly lose all your information. so i wouldn't advise attempting installing 10.2 without the correct firmware.

  • Question about making printible reports by reading data from database

    We have a pressure test system which we want analyze and plot the instant pressure values in a pre-defined time interval. After each test we want the record the test results along with the other information(date, time, operator name, test no, product type, product number, etc.) added by the system operator. The data will be recorded to an access data base. Doing that, we want to make test results archive which we can make search within, to list the past test results, searching by date, seraching by product number, or searching by any other information in the database. Plus, in the future, we want to be able to take reports of these past test results, including the pressure/time graph and other information added by the system operator. Also we want to set the report format.
    My question is, is it possible to do this with LABVIEW 8.2? Do we need any toolkits or add-ons?
    Regards

    Hi, Hasan.
    That would be an excellent use of LabVIEW. At the very least, you'll probably want to get the Database Connectivity Toolkit, and depending on your needs you may also want the Report Generation Toolkit. There are a lot of tools in the LabVIEW Development Environment for generating reports dynamically, but the Report Generation Toolkit includes a lot of advanced functionality not included in regular LabVIEW installations.
    That said, however, I really recommend you speak with one of our sales representatives to make sure you have everything you need. Since I know so little about how you'd be implementing each step of that process, I'm reluctant to guarantee it, and one of our representatives can tell you with much more certainty. You can get in touch with one from ni.com/contact.
    Good luck! Have a nice evening.

    That simply means your not pointing the runtime to the classes. Set your CLASSPATH environment variable correctly and it will run (given you have a JRE which it appears you do).

  • Question about making a project backup with Media Manager

    I have several projects that I am working on right now. I'd like to make a backup of these projects and burn them to DVDs. The question I have is when I select "copy" with Media Manager it shows me how much space the backup will be. Without selecting the render files each of my projects would fit a a single DVD. If I don't include render files can they easily be recreated by just re-rendering the backup project?
    Thanks!

    Backing up a project file takes very little space. Backing up the media associated with that project can take up a tremendous amount of space. By using Media Manager, I assume that you want to back up (copy) the media ... correct?
    Do you only have 4.3gb of media used in the project you want to back up? That's all the data a DVD disc will hold.
