Quick Tips For Speed Your Digital Publishing WorkFlow

I think that we have a great problem with our Digital Publishing Workflow's speed . I talk about, for example, of set up State Objets Sliedshows for multiple page, and I mean, there are another similar examples about that. Do you know if does exist more tips for speed our workflow in InDesign for Digital Publishing Output?
Thanks a lot!
Sorry for my bad english.

Muito abrigado my friend! Seriously thanks a million, but I was curious to know about my situation regarding replacing my first shot multiple times... In another words there's a clip already in the storyline which won't allow me to replace edit since it just moves out of the way. Would you just go back into the browser and add the original selection to the first clip? Because I kept having to move my connected music and solid I just gave up and would wait until the end to add the music and solid (I add the solid to give the background a different color when I want to create the letterbox effect).
I just watched a music video tutorial where someone created a 3 minute solid, made like a hundred cuts with the blade tool and manually dragged each clip from his browser to replace from start for each of those cuts in the solid...
What is your workflow for music-based edits? Do you place the song in the primary story line and use the video as connected clips? Do you use a solid or gap clip and dissect it with cuts and replace the segments with clips? I really hate not being able to add markers to the timeline and must make those marks on a clip/generator/music track of some kind. Also if you have a project that has the same settings with fps, crop size, solid as a background is there a way to make template so I don't have to do that each and every time?
Thanks again my friend!!!

Tips for when your webcam is not detected

EDIT: If you have recently upgraded to Windows 8 and are experiencing this issue please read this document.
Here are some tips for resolving a webcam not detected problem. I see this question get asked a lot so here are the steps you should take to resolve the issue.
To begin you should make sure the device is being detected by Windows. The following instructions are for Windows 7, but should be very similar for Windows Vista and Windows 8.
Option 1: Check Device Manager to make sure it is working properly.
Click your Start button, type “Device Manager,” and press Enter.
Once Device Manager loads click “View” and then “Show Hidden Devices.”
Locate the “Imaging Devices” section.
Note whether you see the webcam here.
If the webcam is listed, right click it and verify that it is not “Disabled.”
If webcam is listed and not disabled, move onto Option 2. If the webcam is not listed you will move onto Option 4.
Option 2: Allow Windows to Re-install the device.
While still in Device Manager right click on your webcam and select “Uninstall”
If prompted select “remove driver and driver package.”
Reboot your notebook and allow Windows to attempt to reinstall the webcam.
If Windows detects the webcam verify the functionality of the webcam.
If Windows does not detect the webcam and install it move onto Option 3.
Option 3: Manually install the drivers for your webcam.
Use this website to determine your product/model number.
Visit the HP Support Page and use this product number to visit your product’s specific page.
Go to “Drivers and Software” and locate the driver for your webcam. NOTE: the drivers for the webcam are sometimes bundled with the YouCam software.
Download and install this driver.
Reboot the PC.
Verify functionality.
Option 4: Manually re-detecting the hardware.
Disconnect all external devices.
Shut down the notebook.
Remove the battery and AC power.
Press and hold the power button for 10-15 seconds.
Reinstall the battery and AC power. Then turn the notebook on.
Once Windows is loaded go back to Device Manager.
Selection “Action” and then “Scan for hardware changes.”
If Device Manager detects the hardware allow it to install.
If Device Manager does not detect the hardware see Option 5.
Option 5: System Restore and System Recovery.
This is outlined very well in this document. Note that any data that is not backed up prior to a recovery will be lost.
Options 6: Repair or replacement.
If none of these solutions have worked for you it is likely that you are experiencing a hardware failure. It is possible to replace the webcam or reseat a loose ribbon cable. However, this is one of the more difficult repairs on the notebook. If you would like to attempt this repair you can visit your notebook’s support page and navigate to the “Manuals” section. There is normally a “Maintenance and Service Guide” for the notebooks, this will cover the disassembly of the notebook. You can then use HP Parts Surfer to locate the part for your notebook.
If you do not wish to attempt a repair yourself you can inquire with HP about a repair. For customers in the US/Canada you can call 1-800-474-6836. If you’re not in this region you’ll need to visit HP’s Support Site to get your area’s contact information.

Tips for speeding up data merge

Hi there,
I have a seven page indesign file with around 20 data merge fields and 8 custom conditions I either enable or disable. I am trying to generate preview JPG's as quick as possible that render to the users browser.
It takes around 1.7 seconds for a preview to go to the browser with around 0.5 seconds of that time used in the data merge process.
Are there any tips / tricks I can use to speed up this process.
Dustin

Hi Dustin,
Sure and right,
but you are running for miliseconds and it depends on details where devil use to sleep.
So better way is to discuss details.
For general example: real speed up is to process with arrays instead of collections
(doc,pages.everyItem().textFrames.everyItem().getElements() vs doc,pages.everyItem().textFrames)
but it would do not matter if your workflow is set with network connections.

Call for Response: Your Top 5 Workflow Reports

Dear Workflow Community,
I am writing here to gather input in regards to specifications we currently prepare. As part of our new BPM solution NetWeaver Business Process Manager we specify currently the requirements for reporting and process analysis.
Since I strongly believe we have some of the best workflow experts here in SDN, I would like to ask for response on the following questions:
<b>1. What are the top 5 reports you run over your existing workflow deployment?</b> Please list both SAP pre-delivered and custom developed reports. The more details you can provide the better we can understand your requirements.
<b>2. What are your top 5 pain points when designing and deploying these reports? </b>
Thanks a lot.
Best regards,

Hi Ralf & others,
Im happy to hear that SAP is actively thinking about this issue, since it is an issue in the most implementations we do. I have read through the different posts and recognize a lot of problems and its funny to read how every one has their own way of tackling these problems.
Maybe its because Im a consultant and dont spend much time in maintenance but I dont use standard transactions a lot, since they offer so little possibility to select on business data as Martin mentioned. Of course during development you use transactions like SWI1, SWPR, SWEL etc etc but after the go-live we advise the customer to use the custom made reports. (Of course if you built the workflow correct and the agent determination is done properly, you shouldnt need standard workflow transactionsin an ideal world..;)
The way these reports are built up can roughly be in two ways:
1 Old fashioned: First you make a selection on business data, like invoices (again..;) then you find the related workflows, and depending on the reporting demands you extract relevant information from the workitems and their containers. We mostly use function modules during this process like:
-     SWI_WORKITEMS_OF_OBJECT_GET
-     SWW_WI_CONTAINER_READ
-     SAP_WAPI_GET_DEPENDENT_WIS
-     RH_WI_ORGTASK_GET
Especially the FM SWW_WI_CONTAINER_READ is very slow and inefficient, also because after execution you have to loop through the output of this one and find the relevant element and value you are looking for. (Maybe it would be an idea to make it possible to add the possibility to select on ELEMENT and its VALUE. This would make it much more efficient.
2 New style: Since a little while, during implementations where we expect high volumes, we make use of the WORK ITEM exits. This means that during the development of the workflow, you already start thinking about which information you want to use in reporting and that after the execution of vital steps (especially important status changes) in the workflow you transfer the relevant data to a custom-made table. When you built your report, you use this Z-table. This has proven to be a very powerfull tool which makes your reports a LOT faster!
Maybe it would be possible to add somekind of functionality to the workflow builder or the definition of the task to add a Tab for reporting. Here it would be possible to say for example which container elements you want to transfer to some kind of special reporting table.Im just thinking out loud now.
I hope this is a little usefull four you.
Kind regards & good luck!
Erik
PS Arghadip, I came across this topic since Im working for a customer now which has a running workflow for approving invoices, but they want more reporting possibilities. We are looking at the different possibilities, also BW/BI. So Arghadip I am very curious to some details on the BW reporting you used in your project, since I dont have any relevant experience in this. Could you share some of that experience with us, or shall we set up another thread on this? This would be greatly appreciated.

A Few Quick Tips For Those Who Are New To Fios Quantum and the New Quantum Update

Most of those who have quantum received the new update early this morning (8/12/14)
There are a lot of people that are new to fios who never had anything prior to quantum so I thought I'd make this post to help.
Those who had the older boxes prior to quantum should already know about all of this.
The new update now reflects what the older stb/dr's have and have had for awhile now. There are now more menu settings you will want to go through.
The ad banner guide at the bottom can be disabled. Go to menu > Notifications > Guide Banner > set to disable
The banner will still be there, but will show Verizon rather then ads.
The home screen can be turned off. There is an option to turn it off within the home screen or you can go to menu > Notifications > Promotions > set to disable
The led on the boxes have been changed. If you want to change it go to menu > System > Media Server Settings > LED Brightness.
The Auto Power Off option is set to 4 hours by default. If you don't want the box to turn off automatically you will want to disable this. Menu > System > Media Server Settings > Auto Power Off > set to none
There is now the option to change the guides banners times outs. Menu > Settings > System > Television > Info Bar Time Out (also Channel Bar Timeout)
Some on other forums mentioned the video formats have been changed so its a good idea to check the option out to see if it reflects what you want. Menu > Settings > Audio & Video > Video Settings > Video Format
The aspect # button now works so any SD channels that are boxed can now be stretched using the # button.
I'm happy to see this option back.
Solved!
Go to Solution.

Thanks for the info regarding the latest update. I like some of the new/improved options, however I am highly disappointed that the update discontinued the reminder option. I would think that setting a program reminder is a highly used feature and many will be unhappy now that it is gone. I know I surely am!

Office for Mac 2011: Tips for speeding up Word when using tracked changes and comments?

I run a fresh installation of Office for Mac 2011 (v. 14.4.1) on a brand new Macbook Pro 13" Retina 2.4GHz with 16GB RAM running 10.9.2. The Office package is fully up-to-date.
I mainly use Word and find that it is extremely slow when I track changes. Documents need not be particularly large - even in a 30-page document after a few pages of tracks typing becomes a pain, in particular in comment bubbles where the text shows up letter-by-letter and only finish several seconds after I've stopped typing. Other programs run at the same time do not suffer from this horrible lag.
I have searched and seen that this is not uncommon so it appears that Microsoft's coders are not particularly well versed in coding for Mac.
My question is if other users have found ways to improve the situation, for instance by trashing plists or something like that? This is really driving me crazy
Many TIA
Philip

Can i create a singol folio application for android with digital publishing professional edition?

hI, (sorry but i speak english a little bit).
I would like to create my application with professional edition because i wont see it on android device too but i need just a singol folio app.
i don't want a multifolio viewer, i need just a singol updatable app that start directly from the icon withouth no other number.
How can i do?
I see also that a lot of function are limited for android, are there some news?
Thanks a lot

You can't.
Even if the subscription app only has one folio in it, you have to
create it that way for Android. This requires a pro or enterprise
account and you'll have to pay for the downloads.

A tip for when your 3Gen Nano does not show up in iTunes:

This was happening to me, running 10.4.10 on both my old G3 iMac and my iBook, both with iTunes 7.5. I could not figure it out. Turns out, probably like many people, we have about 7 iPod cables lying around the house. I had picked a Firewire cable... everything was back to normal when I used the USB cable! (Although on the iMac it says synching will be slow because it's USB 1, the iBook with USB 2 is faster). Phew!

Cable works fine on my other iPod. Reset by pressing menu and center button together for 6-10 seconds. Left it to charge for many hours. Started acting up while running. Suddenly the music stopped playing but my Nike + was still working for the rest of my run. Took it straight it home and plugged it in to the wall to recharge since the battery was fairly low. Looked like it recharged ok but then screen went blank and now does it not show up on iTunes, does not seem to recharge by the wall charger (apple wall charger plugged into a surge protector in India). I have turned the hold switch off and on many times.
Sounds like a repair issue, which is not easy to do in India :(

Tips for best batt life?

I've got a new MacBook and want to avoid whatever mistakes I've made in the past to deplete my battery life long-term. I've read Apple's page on keeping the battery in good shape, but is it best to let the battery FULLY discharge and FULLY charge (top it off) all the time? And is it bad to keep it plugged in while using, even if it's got a full charge already? What about keeping it plugged in when not in use?
Any tips from experienced Mac people (I'm so glad to join your ranks) would be appreciated.

If you use your battery even for 10 minutes you should charge it when you can. Li-ion Batteries work best with small charges over big ones. Do not use your battery then use it again and again till the battery gets low enough to shut off. I am not talking about where you have no choice. I am saying don't deplete your battery on purpose before you charge.
A charge cycle is a full discharge and full charge. It is best if done in small doses.
+Example. You use 25% of the battery and then recharge. You have used 1/4th of a cycle. Doing this 4 times an you have a full cycle. This is better for the chemistry that using it for 25% and then letting it sit till the next day and using it for the rest of the use then charging it.+
Below is what I like to give new users for battery care. I use my battery in this way and after six months have 14 cycles on this battery. I get between 3 and 4 hours of use with it and have everything turned on.
It is OK to leave your battery hooked to the charger most of the time. Most of the time I only unhook mine from the charger is when I calibrate. Have you calibrated your battery yet? You should calibrate every two months or so to keep the battery fully functioning. If you use your MacBook infrequently, it’s best to re-calibrate the battery at least once a month.
The following links have good information about the MacBook and the care of it's battery.

Digital Publishing Suite

I work for a school district and we want to experiment with self publishing 21st century digital textbooks. The combination of InDesign and the Digital Publishing suite looks ideal. However we do not want to be locked into the Apple ecosystem. The goal of the project is openness and a proprietary system like Apple is the opposite ofopenness.
So for $40/month we can get the Creative Cloud and get everything we need EXCEPT we are locked in to the Apple system for tablets and smartphones or we can spend an additional $500 a month for the professional Digital Publish Suite.
That seems odd to spend $500 a month to publish to an open platform. Am I missing something or is there another way to go?
BTW we looked at eBooks but support for video is spotty at best on Android devices (are you listening Adobe Digital Editions?).

If you are only experimenting with digital publishing, you can build Android folios and view them through the Adobe Content Viewer without paying for distribution to the Google Play store.
Once you have built something that you actually want to distribute via the store, you will have to consider your licensing options, but until that live distribution is needed, there is nothing stopping you from experiementing with Android publishing.

Adobe Digital Publishing Suite Workflow

We are looking into the professional edition of the Adobe Digital Publishing Suite for a magazine and have a few questions about the workflow:
Is this the correct workflow:
Create document in indesign for magasine issue
Turn an indesign document into a .folio file? (Would a .folio file be considered an "issue")
Create an app somehow (where is this part done)
Submit the viewer app to apple, submit to amazon..etc
Is there a site somewhere that shows visual of the entire process?

Here are some resources:
