Questions about editing podcasts

I just got my MacBook Pro and switched over recording my podcast to GarageBand and I have a couple of questions:
1) Is there a location where the raw audio is stored? There are sometimes where I edit a piece but then want to go back and retrieve a part of the audio I cut or does GB delete the audio as you go along?
2) Is there a way to save a single picture/"album art" that will stay the whole time the podcast is played instead of dragging the picture to fit the length of the show in the "podcast" track or by playing the file in iTunes and dragging the picture into the album artwork space?
3) Is there a way to put in ID3 information before exporting to mp3?
4) Not really a GB question, but is there a way to capture audio that is playing on the mac i.e. making sound clips from a DVD, creative sound blaster cards have the "What U Hear" option, is there something similar to this on the mac?

1) Is there a location where the raw audio is stored?

GB's edits are non-destructive, jsut drag the edge of the region out, the audio is still there.
4) is there a way to capture audio that is playing on the mac
get Audio Hijack, or WireTap

Questions about editing with io HD or Kona 3 cards

My production company is switching from Avid to Final Cut Pro. I have a few editing system questions (not ingesting and outputting, just questions about systems for the actual editors - we will have mac pros with either kona 3 or io HD for ingest and outputs)
1) Our editors work from home so they most likely will be using MacBook Pros - Intel Core 2 Duo 2.6GHz 4GB computers with eSata drives to work on uncompressed HD, will they be able to work more quickly in FCP if they are using the new Mac Pro 8-Core (2 Quad-Core 2.8GHz Intel Xeon) or will the mac book pro's be able to hold their own with editing hour long documentaries, uncompressed HD
2) Will having an AJA Kona 3 (if we get the editors mac pros) or io HD (for the mac book pros) connected be a significant help to the editor's and their process, will it speed up their work, will it allow them to edit sequences without having to render clips of different formats? Or will they be just as well off without editing with the io HD?
I'm just trying to get a better understanding of the necessity of the AJA hardware in terms of working with the editors to help them do what they have to do with projects that have been shot on many formats- DVCPro tapes, Aiptek cameras that create QTs and P2 footage.
Thanks

1. with the IoHD, laptops become OK working with ProRes and simply eSata setups. Without the Io, they can't view externally on a video monitor (a must in my book). It will not speed up rendering a ton, nor will it save renders of mixed formats. The idea is to get all source footage to ProRes with the Io, and then the Io also lifts the CPU from having to convert ProRes to something you can monitor externally on a video monitor, and record back to any tape format you want... all in real time.
2. Kona 3's on Towers would run circles around render times on a Laptop... no matter what the codec, but the Kona does not really speed renders up. That's a function of the CPU and just how fast is it. (lots of CPU's at faster speeds will speed up render times).
I'd recommend you capture to ProRes with Io's or the Kona 3 and don't work in uncompressed HD. You gain nothing doing it quality wise at all. And you only use up a ton of disk space (6 times the size in fact) capturing and working in uncompressed HD, which from your post, you're not shooting anyway. The lovely thing about ProRes is that it's visually lossless, efficient, and speeds up the editing process. Mixing formats can be done, but it's better to go to ProRes for all source footage, and edit that way.
With either the Kona or the Io, you then can output to uncompressed HD tape... that's what they do for you no matter what codec you've edited in. ProRes is designed to be the codec of choice for all HD projects when you're shooting different formats especially... Get them all singing the same tune in your editing stations, and you'll be a much happier camper. Only reason to buy laptops is portability... otherwise you're much better off with towers and the Kona 3 speed wise.

2 questions about (video) podcasts

Ok, so first question. I'm subscribed to a video podcast. And I know there should be new ones, but they don't show up in my iTunes. So is it possible that I don't get them yet because I have a dutch iTunes and they arent available yet for us? Or should everybody in the whole world be able to get the same podcasts?
2nd question: The videopodcasts don't show up on my iPod. It is taking place one it though, but I can't find them. They dont show up in "Podcasts" or "Video's" or "Videopodcasts". A while back they were in my video playlist "recently added", but now they dissapeared from there aswell. So does anybody know how to fix this?
MacBook
Edit: 2nd question has been answered. I had to mark them as "unread". And now they show up on my iPod. The first question is still unanswered, though.

answer to the first Question- The podcast isnt available for Dutch iTunes. beveryone can get the same podcasts from different iTunes stores, but some podcasts are oexclusive to some stores
hope it makes some sense
hope I answered ur question
: )

I have two questions about my podcast on iTunes - Image and Author

Hello. I have very recently added my podcast to iTunes, by submitting the RSS-feed that is given by wordpress (that's where I have my podcast homepage) It looks allright, and the feed includes Name of podcast, title of podcast shows, description and in some cases even length of the podcasts. There's two things not showing though, and that's an image for the iTunes page, and the name of the authors.
I'm not sure if you're allowed to link to your feed like this, but here is however the feed that I've sent to iTunes: http://rodrost.wordpress.com/category/podcast/feed/ . I thought that the picture up in the right (of me and a friend) would be the picture showing up on iTunes. And I don't understand where in my feed to put in the authors. If you could answer my questions I would be very grateful, thank you.
/ Joar.
(This is how it looks on iTunes http://itunes.apple.com/se/podcast/rodrost-podcast-podcast/id507886804 )

Posting your feed URL is not only allowed, it's necessary to get answers to most questions, so thank you for posting it.
You are missing some necessary entries in your feed. The second line of your feed should include the 'iTues declaration':
xmlns:itunes="http://www.itunes.com/dtds/podcast-1.0.dtd" version="2.0"
which should be added within the 'rss' tag. Without this iTunes cannot read the 'itunes:...' tags which are in any case missing. The image is carried in the 'itunes:image' tag and your name in the 'itunes:author' tag, and there are other tags which carry information - your podcast is working without them but some information is as you see missing.
This page includes a sample basic feed so that you can see what I'm talking about:
http://rfwilmut.net/pc
I can't advise on Wordpress: it seems likely that you need the PodPress plugin to get this to work properly, but I'm not sure whether you can do it without.

How can I recover deleted folders - also - question about editing/deleting msf files

Context: My wife accidentally deleted a series of folders from Thunderbird v.24.6.0
She says that the system warned her that there was "not enough space" or something like that (she doesn't remember clearly) and asked her if she wanted to "delete them permanently" (or something like that), but she pressed "yes" anyway. She then freaked out, and when I came in to see what she was screaming and crying about, she told me the above story.
SO, after spending the last 2-3 hours reading through help articles and finding my local Mail file/structure, learning about Mork and msf and compacting and X-Mozilla-Status codes, downloading Notepad++ and poking around through some of the files to familiarize myself with their format ... here I am trying to learn how to restore the folders.
Here is where I am at so far:
1. When I went to the Activity Manager, it shows the folders that were deleted, one below the others in a list with the title "Deleted folder foldername" with a dozen different folder names.
2. When I look for the one of the folders that was deleted in the Mail/path/foldername" - I open it (the one without the file extension) in notepad++ and it is empty. There only exists line 1 and there is no text in it (vs. the other folders I check that have the emails in standard From_line format.
This concerns me greatly and leaves me stuck. Did TB actually delete and compact the folder? Are they really deleted, not just X-Mozilla-Status deleted?
3. I don't understand how to restore a folder. I know I can go into a folder and change the X-Mozilla-Status for individual messages - but how to I restore the entire folder? I don't understand how the msf related to the deleted files/folders. It seems like there would be an entry/code somewhere that tells TB - "don't read this entire folder" that I could reverse/edit. I can't figure it out on my own.
4. I understand that, if I delete the foldername.msf file, TB will compact the foldername file. I think I should NOT do this because it will permanently delete the files I want to restore - right?
Any help would be appreciated. I have an unhappy wife. Thank you.

The message she garbled I would assume is that the deletions were to large and that the deleted folder would be bypassed. So all the normal recovery from the trash is simply not possible. There is no Thunderbird magic available unfortunately. So your reduced to using operating system undelete software. I have no idea how that will go, but I just downloaded this http://ntfsundelete.com/download and it does appears to do the job, even if the close text is so pale as to be hard to see.

Question about "Edit Edit Original", and a question about efficiency.

I have a background image that I have imported (placed) inside my Indesign document. Problem is that I can't tell how the image will look against the other Indesign layers until I actually import "place" the image. I find myself having to keep going back into photoshop to adjust the hue/saturation or use the brush tool for adjustments. I then save, and from Indesign I update the link.
Having to do this 6 or 7 times in a row until I am satisfied, seems like a huge waste of time. It just seems like it would be SO much easier and less time consuming if I could edit my image in the Indesign image. Is there a workaround?
Here is an analogy. To me it's like an artist painting, but having to run into another room to dip his brush. He rushes back to his painting only to find that he needed just a little bit more yellow added to his white...so he has to run all the way back into the paint room to dip his brush again. I'm sure there is a reason for this work method in Indesign, but I'm just a little confused with it.
Question #2: I have tried going to "Edit>Edit original" in InDesign. Problem is, that the "preview" app pops up instead of photoshop, because I like my psd's and jpgs to automatically open in preview for quick viewing purposes. I've read that the work around is to go into Bridge and change the way a program opens a certain type of image. I did this..I changed it so Photoshop and Indesign should open jpgs by default, yet still allow the osx operating system to still open them in "preview". I tried restarting Indesign to see if it was just something that required a restart to take effect. It still opens "Preview" when I go to Edit>Edit Original.

CS4 adds an edit with feature...other than that sorry, Photoshop is
where you'll need to do the editing.

A question about editable regions

Thanks for helping out self-taught, little experienced, non-coder....
I am building a new site and would like to use templates and nested templates (I know how to do that). The page I would make my template from can be found here - www.sttimothysanglican.org/Home.html. My question is this, how can I set up 2 nested templates with different content colors? In other words on some pages I would like the white area to be black and in all cases this is the area that needs to be editable.
Thanks again for your advice.

Hi
Style and content are seperate issues.
Style: My approach would be to give <div class="content"> a "Make Attribute Editable..." in the Modify > Templates menu.
Now becuase there is already a class... perhaps give it an id and put in a default value (once in there you'll see what I mean by 'value'. Otherwise your code won't validate with a blank id attribute on the tag. I'd make the default value the 'most often' choice of background colour.
Then in your css file assign the colour. Now you will have to manually asign the 'less often' colour to the pages you want to do this to - with the page open choose Modify Template Properties and you'll find the id listed. You can style all sorts of aspects then using #black h2, #black h3 (colour:white;} for reversed out headings on the black areas.
Content: ... is that not the usual editable area within a nested template? I may be misunderstanding what you want to achieve.
Hope this has helped... I've ripped through this explanation somewhat but if you're as comfy with it all as I think you'll figure it. All the best.

Question About Edit of Raw Images

I'm contemplating upgrading to iPhoto 08. It's nice that iPhoto can import raw camera images, but I am trying to understand what it does with them. When you import a raw camera image into iPhoto is it right away converted into some other format? If it's kept in raw format and you edit it, are the edits done on the raw image or some converted format?
I guess what I am getting at is that if there is a conversion to 8-bit grey level images when editing, then the advantage of shooting raw, which could be 12-bit, is lost. If there is a conversion to, say, a 16-bit TIFF, that would be okay.
Unrelated question: How the heck do you do a search just in this forum? The search box at the top right seems to be searching the whole Apple web site.
Thanks.

When iPhoto imports a RAW file it creates a jpg version of it for viewing and editing my iPhoto. Once a modified version is created, the RAW import or first edit of a jpg, further edits are written to an xml file and applied by iPhoto. So you're always one jpg edit away from the original.
As I understand it if you shoot B/W RAW you will get a color jpg version as the RAW contains ALL of the data, including color. The jpg that iPhoto creates is 8 bits per channel.
Now you can set iPhoto to edit the RAW file if you use an external editor like PS or PSE. When you do that a new file has to be created and saved to the desktop and imported as a new file. That the nature of RAW editing and iPhoto.
The current search function has been discontinued temporarily.
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. 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 now an Automator backup application for iPhoto 5 that will work with Tiger or Leopard.

Several questions about editing in Premiere

Hey all,
I have basic editing skills in Premiere and am trying to get more advanced skills. So I'm helping out a local non-profit. I'm trying to cut up a video but I have a few questions.
1. If I start a project in Premiere CS5, will I be able to edit it in other versions( 5.5 or 6)?
2. The video came with timecode on it. How do I remove it?
3. The video currently isn't taking up the fill screen. What am I doing wrong?
Thanks

1. If I start a project in Premiere CS5, will I be able to edit it in other versions( 5.5 or 6)?
Yes.
2. The video came with timecode on it. How do I remove it?
The timecode is burned-in... the only way to remove it
is to get the original media without timecode on screen.
3. The video currently isn't taking up the fill screen. What am I doing wrong?
It appears your media does not match your sequence settings.

Portal Unstructured Template Question About Edit Links

Hi, I have an unstructured template that I'm making. If I want to use an image for my edit link instead of using this #PAGE.EDITPAGE.LABEL#
How would I block someone who is not allowed from editing a page from seeing the image?

Hi Lorenzo,
you can create a new ivew based on the component com.sap.km.cm.navigation or just copy the iView <a href="http://help.sap.com/saphelp_nw04s/helpdata/en/e8/e1401acdfd11d5994200508b5d5211/frameset.htm">Link List</a> located under "Portal Content / Content Provided by SAP / End User Content / Standard Portal Users / iViews / com.sap.km.iviews" and add it to your portal page.
Here you find more information about <a href="http://help.sap.com/saphelp_nw04s/helpdata/en/b6/29892e91601940bb7a2cd673a1dff5/content.htm">KM Navigation iViews</a> in general.
After that you go to "Organize Entries" and create some links via Links(Context menu) -> New -> External Link (Internal Links are lins to documents or folders inside KM).
The last thing you have to do is to set the correct permissions. For that you go to "Content Administration -> KM Content -> documents / Links" where you should see your created links and use the context menu to go "Details" -> "Settings" - "Permissions". Remove the group everyone and add the group of users who should be the only ones to see the link.
Do this proccess for every link and you should be done.
Hope this helps,
Robert
PS: Feel free to use the colored stars as another way of saying thanks.

.mac Family pack:: questions about editing on two computers

Hey I'm new and would love some advice.
I'm a college student with some web experience. I'm helping out my folks' business by making them a website. I'd also like to have a website of my own.
1. It would be great if I could edit their business website from my computer at college and they could update photos or info from their Mac at home. (how do I do that?)
2. Also, if I am editing their website, do I need to be logged in as their .mac account in the system preferences?
3. It seems that any website created is all in one file. How can I have two websites with separate accounts?
Thanks for your help! I'm still new to this.

Questions about editing video clips, images and text

I'm using the Expert mode and I'm having trouble with figuring out how to do certain things.
1. I'm superimposing a picture of a scoreboard on my video and then I superimpose a text object on top of that so I can update the scores throughout the video. I've placed on instance of the text object on my "Video 3" and now I want to change the score. So I created another instance on the same "Video 3" timeline. Now I want to close the gap between the two instances. I would expect to be able to click on the gap in between and delete it but nothing happens. I would also expect to be able to double click on the instance to access the specific start and end times that I see when I hover over it. But again nothing happens. So I've been magnifying the timeline so I can manually drag the two instances together. Is there an easier and more precise way to close the gap?
2. Is there an easier way to periodically change a text object without creating a bunch of instances? My "project assets" folder is getting filled up quickly because the score is constantly getting updated and I keep creating a new instance for each score change.
3. Is there a way to permanently combine two seperate video clips? I've used the "group" option but there is still a divider that reminds me that the two were seperate. I'd like to be able to combine the two and for it to look as if it was always just one large clip.
4. When I use the scissors to cut a section out of the middle of a clip, the blue marker that shows where I am currently in the video stays in place. So each time I cut out a section, I have to manually drag the blue marker over to the new beginning that was at the end of all the stuff I just cut. Is there a preference to have the blue marker stay with you when you edit instead of it suddenly being far ahead of you in the editing process?
Thanks!

Other than doing Duplicates of your Title, and editing those, as needed, the only other option would be to create the Titles in another program, such as Photoshop, then Save those as PSD's, to be Imported into PrE. The one downside of doing that, is that to edit those PSD "titles" is to Open them in Photoshop - the PrE Titler will not open them for the additional editing.
PrE does not have as much power to organize Assets, such as Titles, as does Premiere Pro, with both Bins and Folders (later versions). I always create a Bin, for my Titles, or even several Bins, for different types of Titles in the Project.
Maybe others will have a workflow, that I have not considered, so we both might learn something.
Good luck,
Hunt

Question about editing text for Acrobat 9 pro...

I recently switched to Vista and Acrobat 9 pro and everytime I go to edit my PDF I use the "text touch-up" tool just like I should yet the tool just shifts and distorts the text without actually replacing or deleting any of the text. Has anyone encountered/know how to fix this problem? Thank You.

Such problems are not new with AA9. Editing has always been hit and miss. It may be that if you tried to edit one of the files you used to work on, things would work fine and it is simply the particular file at hand. I will not deny that there may be changes to the methods in AA9 that make things worse, but it never was great.

Question about edit in from lightroom4

Hi
I can get a photo from Lightroom 4 to photoshop elements 11 thru the edit in, with no problem . But, when I go to do a save on the file, it rejects it, and wants me to "save as" and pick a specific folder. It then does not want to go back to Lightroom4 with the edits i made in elements.
I am not sure why it keeps asking me to save as ?
I thought you just edit in from Lightroom4, hit save in elements, then it should flip back into lightroom4 with the changes and show up beside the original photo in lightroom.
Can anyone tell me what i am doing wrong?
Thanks

I have my prefs set to PSD, 8bits + LR develop settings.
As soon as you choose a photo in the Lightroom Library and use Edit In External Editor LR creates a new file next to the original and in the original folder e.g.
IMG_1234Edit.psd or
IMG_1234Edit.tif
In PSE you must save and replace (overwrite) using the file name created by LR.
If you use Save As; you are creating a further copy and would then need to import it separately into Lightroom which creates extra work and you end up with three images instead of two.

Question about editing a Dreamweaver template

I used a #2 template from http://www.adobe.com/devnet/dreamweaver/articles/dreamweaver_custom_templates.html
and have muddled through editing it and have done "ok" by my standards.
One unresolved issue I have is how to put something "UNDER" my left navigation bar.
If you look at my site http://mpalitigation.com/index.html you will see a paypal button waaaay down on the left side, I was hoping
to put that button under the navigation links but not right with them. I tried doing a crash course on float, clear, etc..but
the best I could do was clear after the navigation bar float left but then the content in the middle is pushed down below the end of the navigation bar.
Any help would be appreciated.
The related CSS code is
.leftnavigation {
    width: 192px;
    margin: 70px 0px 0px 0px;
    padding-left: 8px;
    float: left;
    list-style-type: none;
.leftnavigation a{
    margin-left: 0px;
    width: 156px;
    padding-left: 15px;
    padding-top: 5px;
    padding-right: 20px;
    padding-bottom: 5px;
    float: left;
    color: #364957;
    font-size: 10px;
    font-weight: bold;
    font-family: Verdana, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;
    text-decoration: none;
    background-image: url(images/nav_normal.jpg);
    background-repeat: repeat-x;
    background-position: 0px 0px;
    border-bottom: 1px solid #999;
.leftnavigation a:visited{
    color: #364957;
.leftnavigation a:hover{
    color: #ffffff;
    background-image: url(images/nav_down.jpg);

The page you have linked is not a child page of a DW template.
Anyhow, if I remove your PayPal form from its current location, and place it like this (note the inline styling), it seems to work OK -
<div style="width:190px;float:left;">
                <ul class="leftnavigation" style="float:none;overflow:hidden;">
                    <li><a href="index.html">HOME</a></li>
                    <li><a href="subrates.html">SUBPOENAS</a></li>

                 </ul>
<form action="https://www.paypal.com/cgi-bin/webscr" method="post" style="width:180px;margin:15px 0 0 15px;">

<img alt="" border="0" src="https://www.paypalobjects.com/en_US/i/scr/pixel.gif" width="1" height="1">

Note that I have also wrapped the combination of the navigation and the form in a containing div.
