Questions for experienced GB3/podcast users

havent read a single thing about podcasting etc
yet i know GB 2 like the back of my hand!
this is what i have in mind to do.
i have 1000's of photos. Pro shooter.
with a theme in mind id like to use ken burns effect and also introduce the themes ive written as background music on GB2 as background for the photo show.
so i would actually in essence have an Imovie with music.
i would then be able to introduce a vocal to narrate where the photos are from and interesting facts about them.
this is what i visualize happening.
now...
do i really need GB3 to do this?
if i do use GB3 to do this what would be the advantages of using it? Can i edit in GB3 my photos to zoom and pan or must that come from an already pre made and imported imovie?
in another words all the podcasting will do for me would be to allow text some unnecessary sound effects????
please differentiate the two if you have experience already with doing imovie and podcasting on GB3. Please dont answer with " i guess you could do that" etc....
ofcourse putting this with iweb to a web site would be the kicker and that will happen.
just the rudiments first
thanks alot
please feel free to rant and rave about GB3 and what it can do for you with respect with my initial question

Hm. Certainly GB won't help you create the photo effects. I actually see two ways to accomplish this feat:
The hard way, if you want an exact sync of pics and music: Do your music in GB, import it into iMovie, edit your slideshow like you would edit a movie, and add the commentary on the second sound track.
Easier, but not very editable: Create a slide show in iPhoto, do your music in GB. While the slide show is running, record your commentary on another track in GB. Mix down the sound in GB and play the slide show in iPhoto, with your finished sound track as background music.
In the second version you have a constant change rate for the pics, automated effects and not very much control about music/picture alignment. And you can only present it, not turn it into a movie.

A very important question for every After Effects user

a very important question for every After Effects user, from product manager Steve Forde:
http://adobe.ly/1exI6tI

Tom Daigon Great idea everybody! Encourage Adobe to do ONLY ONE THING with AE for 2014. Since theres not a heck of a lot of development that can be done on the present foundation, they can really stretch the rental scheme out for many years.And once you get used to the concept, every year they will do ONE THING to placate you. So now they have you swallowing no "ownership" of software and limited development.

Question for experienced SDDM modelers

Questions for the more experienced or knowledgeable SDDM users. Knowing what you know now, what advice do you have for experienced data modelers but newbies to the SDDM tool? Are there any posts in this forum you've found most helpful in this regard or to the questions below? I've taken the OTN online training and reviewed the documentation.
I've been data modeling for more than 15 years with ERwin and PowerDesigner and prior to that used Bachman and ADW. Just started a data modeling job that requires me to use a free DM tool (at least for awhile) so I found SDDM.
What SDDM features have you found most useful? and what are short-comings and the work-arounds you've employed?
Have you used SDDM for Dimensional models? Any advice on engineering between Log DM, Rel DM and Dim DMs?
Thank you in advance for any tips!

He is one of the product managers and has great tips with screen shots.

Question for Digital Media Mac Users on whether a Mac would make sense??

Hello once again, and thank you for reading.
After trying to figure what lower-priced Mac that I could afford for school...I am left with this question for some of you graphic designers and website designers.....
If I already have a WInXP machine with a AMD x2 5050e, 2 GB Ram, Soundblaster Audigy, and a ATI x1650Pro video card.......
Is it worth investing in a Mac to begin with? I would like to learn more on the OSX and the Mac in general as it is still highly used in the career field...I have seen job descriptions where knowing a Mac was a definite plus.
The Mac I could afford would not be more powerful than my WinXP, just different (and yes, more stable). (mini, G5, Dual g4, etc)
Comments and Advice from the experts out there would really be appreciated.
Thank you,
Brian.

If you just want to learn the Mac system, why not try to find a used model? If you already have a desktop PC, you could go for a few-generations-old Mini, and use your current keyboard, monitor and mouse (provided they're USB and not PS2). You could even get a KVM if you don't want to be fussed swapping cables around. Check eBay and also lowendmac.com for prices. If you think you'd prefer expandability, a used PowerMac G4 should be around $200-300.

Questions for experienced users

For all experienced users, a few observations and questions:
1) Is it really true that Compressor 2 takes over 24 hours to encode a 15 minutes piece of 1080i HD video from FCE into an H.264? or am I doing something wrong in the settings?
2) The same piece of video encodes a QT movie in 2 hours but the artifacts make the video look extremely unprofessional (to put it mildly).
3) It cannot be true that after spending this much money on professional equipment, that I receive results this poor. I see that others have voiced the same frustrations with Compressor 2 and DVDSP4, HD video etc. What I am referring too specifically is poor encoding in Compressor ( the answer "get a different piece of software" is not acceptible) and DVD's that have artifacts that make the results look worse in quality that amature video from several years back,
this is why I and others depend on sage counsel from more experienced users. so people with condescending or sarcastic pseudo answers need not reply here.
4) Please recommend a workflow that does not produce artifacts from 1080i HD video, to FCE 3.0.1, to DVDSP4 ( via QT 7 or Compressor 2) using the system speced below.
5) Please also recommend a workflow of the same for video that can go out on the web or for cell phone content. ( refer to the problems with H.264 with web content, and any info you may have on the 3G content)
Thanks

Well, Mikey and PQRTV or whatever really got to the heart of the reason why I placed that line in my first post:
I got my mac system about a year ago. before I got the system, my cousin the computer genius lovingly teased me because I literally didn't know what a jump drive was. 8 months later, I gave a presentation at the apple store about filmmaking with the mac. my point?
using the mac system as a (professional) tool does require a new thought process ( coming from the PC windows lower ****). I too look(ed) for quick fixes, but a little bit of time with FCE, DVDSP4, Compressor, etc. teaches U very quickly that things take time and patience and study. having no previous IT or computer background, it was and still is a challenge, but I get it more now.
in general, just keep in mind that a post may be from someone who 1) might be new to the idea that You have to think a bit differently when trying to execute processes with a mac/professional system, 2) might not have a whole lot of IT experience ( mac makes it really easy to get Your arms in up to Your elbows really quickly), and 3) is after all a human being who is, when they posted, 4)most likely sleep deprived, working on a dead line and stressed at level 11.
and Yo PD, I thought the weeding video quip was kinda funny but snide. we can at some point "philosofahzize" about what kind of hussle one sometimes has to get into to keep the rent paid while pursuing the real dream.
And as my man Mikey pointed out ( and I'm sure PDFTV and others will agree), authoring, filmmaking, graph design, music, is all an ART FORM and CRAFT and it takes dedication and perseverence to "master" just ONE aspect, let alone those of us who write, produce, shoot, edit, author, burn, make the soundtrack for, make the poster for and finance our own projects. ( raise a fist and go "yeah" if U feel me on that!)
so if U are a newbie, KEEP THAT IN MIND when U are about to pound Your head or the computer or both against the wall becuase it doesn't happen the first time You try.
ANYWHOOOO
I exported the 1080i HD video ( 10 minutes long) from FCE 3.0.1 compression type 1080i60, current frame rate, key frames every 24 frames ( we shot with that cineframe funtion on the camera) and checked frame reordering. data rate automatic and NOT prepared for web streaming. sound: uncompressed 48kHz ( I wanted to take it into DVDSP4) I got a GREAT LOOKING but rather large (1.45 GB) QT movie . my subtitles at the bottom made in FCE looked a bit fuzzy at full screen size, but the Live Type looked GREAT. NO ARTIFACTS in any size. BUT UNFORTUNATELY, DVDSP4 agve me an "imcompatable asset" message when I tried to import it. ( and by the way, it took 2hrs and 10 min to process to QT movie)
SOOOOO.....
From FCE I exported the file to compressor 2, setting: the 90 minute best quality 16:9 MPEG 2 6.2 mbps 2 pass setting. this bad boy LOOKS GREAT and took a whopping 10 HOURS to compress. but my sound file didn't come out (?) so I exported QT movie sound only from FCE and this took 10 seconds. brought them into DVDSP4 and got myself a pretty kick a@@ looking widescreen SD video.
oh, my DVSP4 settings? 4:3 letter box, encode on import ( although since it was already an MPEG2 it was no sweat) with 6.0 mbps min and 7.5 max.
I'll keep in touch on other posts with more experiences. Thanks for the help!
and with this post concider the question offically, answered!

Several questions for first time Aperture user

Hello all, first time user here. Downloaded the trial and am thinking about purchasing the full version. I have a few questions here;
1. If I click buy to get the serial number, after authorizing the program, will the "Trial" word disappear from all the menus and setting? And will the library name changed from Aperture 3 Trial Library automatically to just Aperture 3 Library?
2. When I start importing photos from camera into A3, will I be able to use iPhoto to view or edit if I delete the original iPhoto library? In short, will iPhoto be able to share the same library when I start using A3?
3. After importing all existing photos from iPhoto, should and can I delete my iPhoto library?
4. Will I be able to use and install A3 on both my laptop and iMac at the same time or is it restricted to 1 computer?
Thanks all.

I don't think it will change the library name, but you should create a new library and import the trial library anyway IMHO
2. When I start importing photos from camera into A3, will I be able to use iPhoto to view or edit if I delete the original iPhoto library? In short, will iPhoto be able to share the same library when I start using A3?
In short: no, but you can view the images from one library in the other and drag them in if you like.
3. After importing all existing photos from iPhoto, should and can I delete my iPhoto library?
You can, but wait until you know everything is working right and backed up.
4. Will I be able to use and install A3 on both my laptop and iMac at the same time or is it restricted to 1 computer?
Yes the EULA allows a desktop and a laptop but not simultaneously. (If they're on the same network, it won't allow you to run them simultaneously.)

Quick question for a fledging acrobat user

Hello all,
First I apologize for what I assume will be an elementary question. I am new to Adobe Acrobat and I have been given the exciting challenge of converting all of our business documents into fillabe PDF forms.
I am using Adobe Acrobat X Pro, and I have some knowledge in acrobat just from learning and reading and trying things on my own in my attempts to get the owner to buy adobe acrobat. I was able to download a free trial and to convert a form we use to assess a client's financial situation into a fillabel PDF and show it to my boss (the owner) which convinced him to open up the coffers and purchase Adobe Acrobat X Pro for me.
I am interested in what books and or adobe sponsored classes I should take in what order to become more proficient in adobe with the end goal being to obtain certification. I have been given the go ahead for most of this to be paid for by my company but I want to ensure that I am taking the appropriate classses and being financial responsible. There is such a wealth of information and choices that I am hesitant to choose without some guidance.
All feedback is appreciated, hope everyone is having a great week.
Paul McBride

One more thing. There are two different types of PDF forms you can create with software included in Acrobat 10: Acroforms and XFA forms. Acroforms are what you create in Acrobat and XFA forms are what you create in the separate application LiveCycle Designer. For a good discussion of the differences, see: http://acrobatusers.com/blogs/thomp/so-what-difference-between-acroforms-and-xfa
I'd suggest beginning by concentrating on Acroforms. Move to XFA forms if you need to take advantage of what dynamic XFA forms provide.

Question for P6N SLI Platinum User : Does ALC888 support Dolby Digital Encoding?

Hello to all P6N SLI Platinum users here,
I have one question regarding Dolby Digital Encoding support on this motherboard. By default, ALC888 does not support Dolby Digital Encoding. But I am still curious. Can you please check on your motherboard, does it support Dolby Digital encoding or DTS Live Connect output to SPDIF? (You may check it by Realtek HD Audio Manager control panel. If there exist such setting option, it means it does support.)
The reason I ask this is I am thinking to switch from 975X Platinum to this board, I am unable to try this myself here as it requires me to reinstall my OS in order to load to WinXP
Thanks in advance.

have a look here:
http://en.allexperts.com/e/d/do/dolby_digital.htm
according to info there its support Dolby Digital Live

Question for Beta 3.0 users ( more home screens???)

Is apple giving us more than r 9 home screen that we have now except for the new spotlight screen. I sure hope so.

Yes but with the new spotlight homepage that doesn't look like that will be a big problem anymore finding your app. and running them. I just hate that i only have a 8 gig iphone and it is not even full because i have to delete a app to add more app's why give you the option of even putting bookmarks on the homescreen when you need the room for app's because you don't have enough pages. Apple wants you to buy app's and try out demo's but doesn't give you enough pages. Why give you a larger iphone? There is no shuffle for app's or smart playlist like music so it is alittle harder when you have lots of app's you are tryin out.

2 stupid question - for Brain Dead iPad user

Tried to register iPad AppleCare Protection Plan on-line. Couldn't find registration number inside the box, only 2 pamphlets on getting started. Tried using the numbers on the sticker on outside of box but they didn't work either....Help?
Lastly, I purchased Breaking Bad season 1 in HD, downloaded and viewed all episodes. Tried to do same for season 2 and got error message I don't have enough space to dowload. Checked settings and showing 22 GB free. Ideas? Thank you!

Generally when you purchase AppleCare at the same time as the covered product, the plan is registered automatically and there's nothing you need to go. You can enter in your iPad's serial number and check the coverage here:
https://selfsolve.apple.com/agreementWarrantyDynamic.do
though if you just bought the iPad, it may take a couple of weeks before it appears in the database due to the very high load during the holiday season.
I'm not sure about the capacity issue. You might try restarting your iPad (hold down the power and home button until you get the red "swipe to turn off" screen) and see if that makes a difference.
Regards.

Question for HDV JVC GY100 users

I've been using the JVC GY100 camera for about 5 months now and really love it. I'm shooting a documentary project and decided to shoot in HDV 30P because I had heard there were problems with HDV in the 24P mode when editing with FCP. Although the footage looks great most of the time, there is one thing that really bothers me. It's a frequent vibrating (moree - spelling?) that occurs when shooting bright objects, usually with striped patterns. I was advised to reduce the detail setting on the camera, and this has helped a bit. However, on another job, I was required to shoot (with the same camera) in SD24P. I must say, I really prefer the appearance of the footage in this mode. There was no moree effect, I had more latitude with F stops, focuse was a little less critical, and it looked way more like film, not to mention, it takes up far less hard drive space. I'm seriously considering switching all of my projects to SD24 P, but I know it will cause massive complications. I know the down conversion from HDV to SD is not a problem, but what about HDV30P to SD 24P? Am I crazy to do this? I'm really not sure what the great advantage of HDV is, other than cause headaches.

When you shoot in DV, you get every frame of video. The compression only comes into play in each frame. With HDV, it uses groups of frames. So instead of each frame having to have all of its info, HDV relies on the ones before it to see what needs to be changed in the next frame and what can just remain the same. So you end up compressing the video much like a DVD. Take a trip to google on "HDV" or "GOP Compression" for more info.
But in a nutshell, HDV gets smaller than DV by relying on the processing power of the decoder, rather than data space.
The JVC cameras have alot of settings. I would agree with your friend on the sharpness thing though.
Comparing with 30p, the 24p will give you a much more "filmish" look in my opinion.

Questions for the end users in Building an application.

Questions for the end users in Building an application.
Hello,
I am assigned a project in building a CF application. As far
as the business requirements, I have an idea from the MIS people.
However, I have a meeting with direct users and I have to ask
questions to add to my requirements. I am still a beginner in this
but I need to ask questions.
Can anyone give me tips? what basic / important questions?

For starters,
DO:
Ask them to discuss what they want to do with the application
Try to understand their level of computer literacy
Keep your conversation non-technical
Continue to interact with the users during the design and
development process
Try to identify a "champion" with whom you can interface as the
project progresses
DON'T:
Use technical terms or discuss technical issues
Talk down to them
Promise delivery dates until you have documented their
requirements and they have approved them

First of all, uninstall it with the uninstaller.
Then:
Install the ENGLISH version.
Change the language in the CC app to Korean.
Install the Korean version. (DON't uninstall the English version)
Change back the langauge in the CC app to English.
When your OS is running in English, InDesign will run in English with Korean functionality added, if your OS is running in Korean it will take the Korean User Interface, so let your OS run in English.
Every installer language will add needed plugins for the work with that language. E.g. If I install Hebrew, I get RTL functionality in German version, only if I would change the OS language it would change the language of InDesign, InDesign takes always as UI language the language of the OS if available, if not (in your case you have uninstalled English before), it takes any version which is available in the order of languages specified in the OS.
If you need to run your program in a different language than the OS but you have installed it in the language of the OS it becomes more difficult. You would have to use some system tools which are able to force a program to open with a different language. Most of those tools are freeware.
