Question about saving JPEGs in Photoshop for use in FCP

Ah, Mr Stupit here, I don't see anywhere else to ask, and since the pics will be used in FCP I"ll try here.
In photoshop I rotated the pics to get the figure upright for ease of handling in FCP, and now I'm asked to save the pic and I'm given the choice of Baseline Standard, Baseline Optimized and Progressive, with Baseline Optimized being the default. Usually I go with the default, but now I figured I'd be clever and ask the geniuses here what they think: Which should I go with?
Another question, am I losing some quality by re-saving this JPEG? I don't want to get into whether I should save as Tiffs, I find my FCP struggles with such large sizes and I'm happy with the JPEGs. Of course, maybe that's why I'm Mr Stupit.

Thanks for the reply!
The problem when I save them as tiffs, png, etc is they become really large and when I open them in Viewer or place them in a sequence I have to wait and wait while the little balls spins. I'm thinking that maybe I'll just use the original JPEGs and rotate them in the Canvas. As long as I don't re-save them there shouldn't be any difference in quality between using them in FCP as opposed to re-saving them as Tiffs, etc, and then using them in FCP, right?
Sorry, but someone on another forum said just using JPEGs in FCP will result in a loss of quality though why should an untouched original somehow lose quality by being placed in an FCP timeline, I don't get it nor did I get an explanation.
I guess I'm Johnny Stupit & Confused.

My iPad2 works great now after IOS 8.1 Update
I did my iPad2 update thru iTunes on my iMac and it was sucking the iMacs memory very low during the update. Safari froze before loading the first web page and I did a hard boot and went fishing as I saw where it was going to take a long time to recover. When I tried again it wasn't quite right and then did one more hard boot and then did a Reset by going to General-Reset-"Reset all Settings" and it works real well now without loosing any data and in-home wi-fi clocks at 17Mbps download. Probably like most of you I’m sticking with OSX 10.9.5 Mavericks as it gets the job done very nicely and don’t need all that extra fancy stuff that probably will slow things down.

Capturing audio from telephone for use in FCP

My requirement is quite specific, and so far none of previous posts seem to answer my question. So...
I'm looking to capture audio from my telephone for use in FCP. It won't be a telephone conversation, but a voice text. In other words, an SMS sent to a landline. The audio is saved as a voice message on the answer machine. My phone / answer machine is fairly basic - it has a speaker and the only ports it has is for power and the telephone line itself. I have tried a very basic method of playing the message on speaker and capturing it on a mini DV - but that results in too much audio edit to get it to sound acceptable. My Mac is a G5 and I have the full FC studio, but just not sure of best way to get audio onto the Mac without losing too much of the sound quality.
Any suggestions?
Many thanks all...

you need a telephone audio interface like the products made by the fine folks at gentner, telos or jk audio. i have a celltap from jk audio, works very very well. http://www.jkaudio.com/celltap.htm

Convert vob files for use in FCP X

I need to convert VOB files for use in FCP X on my macbookpro in OS X Lion (10.7.5) I use Clipwrap to convert other formats, but it does not seem to accept VOB for conversion (or if it does, I have not figured out how). In searching the web, I've come across several products that tout themselves as the best, fastest, easiest VOB to Prores converters etc., some that advertise as "free" when actually only a watermarked trial version is free. I have no idea of the actual quality of any of these (some examples are Brorsoft video converter for Mac, and Acrok HD Video Converter...), and would like some input from folks w/ experience in these things before dropping $ on the problem.
In another thread on this site I read something about MPEG Streamclip, & something about needing to separately download an MPG2 converter for it w/ Lion or Mountain Lion - the process sounded confusing and I couldn't tell if it applied to my situation or not...
Thanks in advance for any light anyone can shed.

MpegStremclip is THE Swiss Army Knife, when it comes to conversion, a 100% reliable, it IS absolutely free (any download a dollar = Stefano would be a millionaire!), I dare to say it is THE most recommended 3d party tool in the editor community ....
How & why you need to install the mp2 plug-in does Signore Cinque explain in simple words on his website:

External Hard Drive for PowerMac G5 for use with FCP Studio

Hello,
I'd greatly appreciate any recommendation for an external hard drive for a PowerMac G5 for use with FCP Studio.
Thanks.

We see alot of Lacie issues here and elsewhere.
Drives fail... period. I believe you hear more about Lacie drives failing because they sell a ton more of them than many other suppliers. I've got 8 of em sitting right here on the desk and two more at the second station. I've lost one since I started using them years ago (and it had problems right out of the box) and I use them pretty heavy.
I understand that they use several different brands of drives in their enclosures, but from my experience they must have pretty good QC standards for what they package.
The guy said the G Techs were a little overkill for his needs. Lacie doesn't pay me. But if someone asks "how are Lacies?" I'll tell them they've been great for me and many others I know, especially if your requirements are capturing DV.
In five years, I ain't heard anybody say anything about it.
As for FCP. I love it! In 20 years of business, it's probably the purchase that's given me the most bang for my buck. But if you haven't heard people knock it, you've never met an Avid zelot, bruhhhhh, just the thought gives me shivers.
The drives X mentioned are designed for video work.
What Studio said, well he gives out some of the best advice on this board
(and maybe the most! ) and my reply to his post... that's why I used the little smiley face. No offence intended X.
I only meant to say that, in a world where software like FCP can do what it does at the price it does it, and drives like Lacie and G Tech can give you the storage they do for the price they do, the line between consumer and professional products is easily blurred.

Saving Jpeg in Photoshop CS4 and having problems

Okay, i have been looking all over the internet and i hope it's something really foolish...
After editing a photo in Photoshop (CS4) and saving it as a JPEG / JPG, many people using windows can't open the file, and it gets the extension .JPGG ( ...?... )
If I import the picture in Iphoto first and then mail it ther is no problem.
perhaps this is quite obvious to some, but it's a mystery to me.
To update my website i need to save my JPG files to an XML folder and then flash reads the files and opens them in the site.
The JPG files i saved using photoshop won't open in the site, even worse, the site won't even load because the loader gets 'stuck'.
i tried putting them in Iphoto first because that helped with with mailing, but it doesn't seem to be working this time.
I've tried all the JPG saving options like Baseline etc. converted them to RGB ( they already were) so i'm out of options.
ANYONE ?

Welcome to the Apple Discussions. I have CS3 so don't know if there's major changes to the formatting process by each version. That may be a question to ask in the Adobe support forum.
However, for a workaround you might try using the Automator workflow I created to change any image file to jpg with the sRGB color profile. Just drag the files onto the workflow icon and they will be converted. You can get it, "Convert to JPG and Embed sRGB profile", at Toad's Cellar. See if those jpgs will work OK. There will be some jpeg compression applied but if they are for posting on the web it may not be objectionable.
TIP: For insurance against the iPhoto database corruption that many users have experienced I recommend making a backup copy of the Library6.iPhoto (iPhoto.Library for iPhoto 5 and earlier) database file and keep it current. If problems crop up where iPhoto suddenly can't see any photos or thinks there are no photos in the library, replacing the working Library6.iPhoto file with the backup will often get the library back. By keeping it current I mean backup after each import and/or any serious editing or work on books, slideshows, calendars, cards, etc. That insures that if a problem pops up and you do need to replace the database file, you'll retain all those efforts. It doesn't take long to make the backup and it's good insurance.
I've created an Automator workflow application (requires Tiger or later), iPhoto dB File Backup, that will copy the selected Library6.iPhoto file from your iPhoto Library folder to the Pictures folder, replacing any previous version of it. It's compatible with iPhoto 6 and 7 libraries and Tiger and Leopard. Just put the application in the Dock and click on it whenever you want to backup the dB file. iPhoto does not have to be closed to run the application, just idle. You can download it at Toad's Cellar. Be sure to read the Read Me pdf file.
Note: There's now an Automator backup application for iPhoto 5 that will work with Tiger or Leopard.

Question about the Documentation Tags for Source Code

Hello,
I have a question about CVI's automatic source code documentation. My problem is that is seems like you need to write all documentation for a specific tag on one line. If you don't, a line break will be inserted when the documentation is displayed. Suppose I want to write a large amount of documentation for the function itself, using the HIFN tag. If I don't want linebreaks to be forced in the documentation, I need to write all this documentation on one single line, which kinda messes up my code. If I split the documentation over several HIFN tags, the documentation displayed to the user might look messed up because of all the linebreaks. Is there any escape character I can put at the end of a line, allowing me to split the documentation of several HIFN lines without forcing linebreaks in the documentation?
Thanks!

This information is certainly useful. Note, however, that it can also be found in the documentation
Tag
Description
/// HIFN help text
Specifies the help text for the function. Use multiple /// HIFN tags to display help text for the function on separate lines. To separate help text with an empty line, use /// HIFN on a line by itself. You also can use HTML tags, but you must enclose the tags in <HTML><BODY></BODY></HTML> tags.
Example
/// HIFN SampleFunction returns the value of a control.
int SampleFunction (int controlID, ctrlType controlType, char label[], double *value)

Another one question about how to download applet (not using external tool)

Hi
i write tool for downloading applet on card. I use apdu trace from NXP eclipse plugin as source of information and i read also about cap-file format in Java Card Virtual Machine specification. And i have questions about data transferred by LOAD command.
As example - from apdu trace i see that transferred data are "C4820E33 DATA1 DATA2". Full length of transferred data is 0x2EE2.
C4 - OK, this is "Load File Data Block" tag as specified in Global Platform
820E33 - OK, this length of tag, =0x0E33
DATA1 - sequence of cap-file components: Header.cap, Directory.cap, Import.cap, Applet.cap, Class.cap, Method.cap, StaticField.cap, ConstantPool.cap, RefLocation.cap. Length of DATA1 is 0x0E33, i.e. DATA1 = 'C4'-tag value.
DATA2 - sequence of two cap-file components: Descriptor.cap and Debug.cap. These components are out of 'C4'-tag.
the questions mentioned above... here they are:
1. Global Platform does not define any data in LOAD command except 'E2' and 'C4' tag. Why DATA2 is transferred out of any tags?
2. Whether the sequence of cap-file components is important? i.e. Can i load Header.cap, Directory.cap etc. in other order than i see in DATA1 field from apdu-trace?
3. Debug.cap seems to be optional component. And what about Descriptor.cap component? Need i load it on card?

1. Global Platform does not define any data in LOAD command except 'E2' and 'C4' tag. Why DATA2 is transferred out of any tags?Because the components are either optional or only required when communicating with a JCRE that has debugging capabilities. I assume you ran the project in JCOP Tools in debug mode against the simulator? If you did this against a real card it would fail as it does not have an instrumented JCRE capable of debugging code. You could try running the project as opposed to debugging to see the difference.
2. Whether the sequence of cap-file components is important? i.e. Can i load Header.cap, Directory.cap etc. in other order than i see in DATA1 field from apdu-trace?Yes it is. It is defined in the JCVM specification available from the Oracle website.
3. Debug.cap seems to be optional component. And what about Descriptor.cap component? Need i load it on card?No, it is optional and is not referenced by any other CAP file component.
Cheers,
Shane

Unsure about preparing a Dreamweaver Site for use with Contribute

Recently I designed a small Dreamweaver Website (DW CS2) for
a friend and it is already successfully online. So that my friend
can manage her own website, I`ve decided to prepare this DW site
for use with Contribute, but I'm unsure about the steps involved
and what files I will need to store on the server. Is the following
roughly correct?
Step 1: Define editable regions in these html files and save
these as html files.
Step 2: Enable Contribute Compatibility in DW before I upload
to the server.
Step 3: Is setting up a Connection Key necessary for my
friend`s access?
Step 4: Upload these. Do these completely overwrite the
existing Dreamweaver html files on the server? Or should I be
saving in another file format?
Many thanks to anyone who can advise me!

I sugggest these steps:
A: Dreamweaver:
1. build you site based on (a) template(s) with editable
regions
2. upload the website to the server
B: Contribute
1. create a connection
2. administer the website ( and create an admin password )
3. set the proper settings for your users (administrators,
publishers, writers), enable rollbacks
4. create a connection key fot you user with the proper role
and save that to disk
C: Dreamweaver
1. manage the site in dreamweaver
2. enable contribute compatibility (this way files get
checked in and out, so you know who is editing what)
D:
1. Sent the connection key to your user

Question about saving calendar and contatcs

Good Morning to all ,
I have a question about how to transfer the calendar and contatcs files to the new outlook profile after a imap migration. So what is the best way to transfer this kind of data before the imap migration for example to prep 70 machines? Any Powershell or
vbs script to save the calendar and contatcs into a pst file?
Thank you in advanced.
Thiago.

So what is the best way to transfer this kind of data before the imap migration for example to prep 70 machines? Any Powershell or vbs script to save the calendar and contatcs into a pst file?
Without knowing Outlook version involved and/or whether there are any additional email accounts configured in any given profile beyond the one being migrated to IMAP - some general comments
#1 - Simply add the same email account as an IMAP account to the same profile. That will result in the "default data file" remaining the same which contains the default "contact & calendar" folders. There is nothing that limits the
same email account to be configured with multiple protocols unless there is a setting that also needs to be set at the server level (i.e. GMail)
#2 - Delete the related "non-Imap" account from the profile - that is has no impact on the data file associated with the account
At a minimum - Contacts/Calendar folders remain as is with the only caveat being that the email folders in the original PST file will contain data which you (your users) may or may not want to completely get rid of (something you may want to check/confirm
beforehand)

Question about buying a new macbook for developing

I am looking to buy a macbook for iOS mobile app development. My current macbook is a 2010 white macbook 250GB storage and 2GB memory. It is full of music videos and everything else I have downloaded in the past 5 yeaIt will only be for using Xcode and browsing the internet. I am looking at a Macbook Air or Pro but I don't know exactly how much power I will need. What macbook would best suit my needs?

For me there is always something else I need to get the job done besides what I had originally planned to use. So have extra resources to include this is alway helpful. You may not suffer the same problem as I do.
Besides when I am in the development mode, the last thing I want is for the computer I am working on to slow down. For me this is a terrible distraction and could be the reason I do my developmental work on a Mac Pro. But then you might not be as sensitive to computer speed as I am. I have been told i am hypersensitive to computer speed.

Question about setting Rows to "All" for defualt Interactive Report

I have a default report with 2 user requirements that I have some questions about.
1. The report in the data sould be 90 days old.
2. The report show "All" rows.
First to set the date I have this page process:
apex_util.ir_clear(p_page_id => 2);
apex_util.ir_filter(p_page_id=>2,
p_report_column=>'REQUISITION_DATE',
p_operator_abbr=>'GTE',
p_filter_value=>SYSDATE - 90);
I also set the rows to "All" and save the report to be the default. However I think when the "apex_util.ir_clear(p_page_id => 2)" is executed it clears someting and my report opens with rows set to "15".
Any ideas on this or even a better way to do it?

the following link may help...
It says that the ir_clear "Clears any report filters including default filters"
apex_util.ir_* documentation - where to find them?
Gus..
