Quickest way to lift brightness of a sequence of photos

Dear All,
I have a sequence of stills which are all too dark. What's the quickest way to raise the brightness of the all the pictures by the same amount?
Many thanks,
Damon

If you use photoshop, you could make the changes with that to the original linked files in FC. The changes you make to the linked media will (or should) update your sequence.
If you have lots of photos that need the same adjustment, you can create an "action" in PS. This would save lots of time.
The key here is making a change to the file that is being used in your project. My preference would be to use PS for this. And be prepared for some re-rendering.

What's the quickest way to put edit points around a selection?

In the timeline (TL) I have made a selection inside a clip (using the Range Selection tool):
What is the quickest way to make this selection a separate clip (as below)?:
PS Saying 'put edit points around' and 'make separate clip', I guess are always the same thing, so I have mixed my terms!?
PS I have currently been using: CMD + X, CMD + V, but this is a hack, not a method, so there has to be a way, right?

Thanks to you all for quick replies, especially Andy for quickly understanding me.
Yup, I used the Range Selection tool. It's a great tool, when for e.g. you want to lift ambient room tone from a portion of an audio clip to paste elsewhere.
Anyway, I am just experimenting thoroughly with all the tools and workflows, to find quickest ways of doing things. To answer your question(s): an example in which you would want to do what I mention above is if you wanted to quickly apply particular Effects/Parameters/Settings to a portion of a clip, like a sepia tint, and wanted to be able to easily click back to that portion later, see e.g. below:
Thanks again

What is the quickest way to access the Settings on an iPad?

What is the quickest way to access the Settings on an iPad? (I mean, the usual cogwheel "app" called Settings)
In particular, I'm looking for a quicker way (or a more convenient one) to access it from an open application, than hitting the "home" button, possibly swiping the home pages, and tapping on it.
(I know, I know, I already placed it in the bottom bar, so I have it available from all pages...)
It would be great if I could cut another step or two. I mean, there are situations where I need to use the Settings app repeatedly. I wonder why it was not included in the iOS 7 swipe-from-bottom menu, while the "Camera" or "Countdown Timer / Clock" made the cut.
I know everybody will have a different opinion on what should be included in that menu, and choices have to be made, but still...
for example, on my Android smartphone the newer OS updates placed a shortcut to the settings app in the upper-right corner of the swipe-down menu, which is like the most prominent place you could place it in.
Anyway, do you know of one or more alternative ways to access the Settings app?
(Oh, and yeah, it just occurred to me that I can four-finger swipe it, if I have accessed it recently, but again if I access another app or two in between it will become at least as cumbersome as going through the home page).

Anyway, do you know of one or more alternative ways to access the Settings app?
Short answer, no. If you have a suggestion for future iOS functionality, use the feedback functionality found elsewhere on this site.

Creation of staging table - quickest way.

Hi,
I need to create a staging table with roughly 370 fields. The sources' specs are not clear and some of the staging table's fields, too. So effectively, first of all I need to understand the staging fields and the source fields. The end user has been given some target date with some generic guess-work (not by me).
I would like to know the best approach to complete the activity quicker - at least, document all the staging fields and source fields. What I have now is one Excel file with four columns - Staging Field, Source table and field, Staging Field Type and Staging Field Length. Out of the total 370 staging fields, I have just completed 50% and the target date is approaching faster - I have not touched developing Oracle package yet.
This could be a generic question, but in order to meet deadline, could you please throw some light on the quickest way/tips to complete the mapping documentation (or creating the staging table)?
Thanks in advance,
Manoj.

Thanks in advance,
Manoj.The first thing that comes to mind is the unclear specifications. (actually the first thing that came to my mind was that tables have columns not fields, but anyway......)
you need to clarify what is coming from the source system before you will be able to intelligently map that to your target system. you may have to push back on your client and tell them that the deadline can't be met unless they provide more information about their source system.
how have they chosen those 370 columns? how did they know these needed to be part of whatever process you are completing? if they know that these need to be moved to a target system then they should be able to tell you why.

QUICKEST way from FCP to DVD

I need to know the quickest way to get a movie in FCP onto a DVD. What I normally do is convert the file to Quicktime, and then put that into I-DVD. The problem right now is that just converting the movie to Quicktime is taking 6 hours. Is there another way? My movie is one hour long. I have about 5 and a half hours to get it done. I hope someone can help me!
-Angela

When you're converting to Quicktime, are you creating a 'self-contained movie' or a reference movie. If you deselect 'make self-contained' the export will happen MUCH quicker (referencing the media that exists on your computer)
This should work in iDVD as long as you have all the original media on your computer. Bear in mind, once any piece of media is gone, including a render, you will loose this ability with a non self-contained file.

Whats the quickest way to export packages,tables etc from one enviroment

Hi
whats the quickest way of more loads of packages, tables, indexes etc. from one enviroment to another?
I did some things in apex.oracle.com workspace to test apex now I want to move it across to my xe installation.

Hello,
2 'fast' options really -
1) Export of application + Export/DataPump of schema
This works if you want a complete 'mirror' from one environment to another of the schema objects
2) Supporting Objects
Bundle all your requirements together with the application export.
The Supporting Objects feature absolutely rocks and yet very very (very!) few people seem to use it.

Is there a way to control brightness in launchpad? I have two administrative accounts, one in English and the other in Japanese because I sometimes need to install Japanese language software that requires this. The strange thing is that the launchpad screens are very dark in this second account, and I have not been able to correct this. Any suggestions?

Quickest way to deliver TV News Footage?

(A little off-topic I'm afraid but surely this is the best place to ask!)
I have to shoot an interview with a racing driver who's secured a new drive with a UK team. This is to be featured on his home country's TV news.
I'd like to shoot in HDV and then convert to DV (assuming the TV company can use this).
What's the quickest way to get about three minutes of footage to an overseas TV company?
(Don't say give it to the driver - I already thought of that one)!

Of course you'll need to check with their requirements and capabilities, but many broadcasters and post houses (at least in the US) have been using muxed MPEG-2 files, uploaded to a host server. 3 minutes won't take too long to upload and even quicker for them to download.
I've been getting clips (60 sec spots for insertion) this way from an editor about 300 miles away. I'll email to tell him what I need and he uploads them to his www.BOX.net account. I can usually have them on my system within 20 or 30 minutes of asking for them. You could do the same with an iDisk account.

What's the quickest way to open Access Connections?

What's the quickest way to open Access Connections, apart from its Taskbar level meter?
I prefer to use the Power Manager battery meter instead, as it looks pretty ugly when both are used, and they take up too much space.
Fn+F5 no longer gives any access to Access Connections either. And it is not integrated into the standard Windows network system tray icon's right-click menu, like Power Manager is with the standard power system tray icon.
You cannot even type Access Connections in the Start Menu search box, as the shortcut is called something else, which I can never remember.
Ideally, I would at least like to be able to access it though the Fn+F5 box again (I'm pretty sure it was possible in versions).

What is the quickest way to incorporate a new template's styles into an existing template?

Recently my company have developed a new template. I am creating a document using much content which already exists in an older template with different paragraph styles, table formats and page formats. What is the quickest way to incorporate the new styles so I don't have to individually update the table contents. The paragraph catelog and tables have different titles in the two documents.
Thanks,

Most efficient/quickest way to set NTFS permissions in PowerShell

Hello all,
Trying to figure out what the most efficient/quickest way to set NTFS permissions via PowerShell is. I am currently using ICACLS but it is taking FOREVER as I can't figure out how to make inheritance work with this command.
This has prompted me to begin looking at other options for setting NTFS permissions in PowerShell, and I wondered what everyone here likes to use for this task in PowerShell?

Ah ok. Unfortunately, my ICACLS is taking FOREVER. Here is the code I'm using:
ICACLS "C:\users\[user]\Desktop\test" /grant:r ("[user]" + ':r') /T /C /Q
However:
1. I can't figure out how to make the inheritance parameter work with ICACLS
2. If I do make the inheritance parameter work with ICACLS, I still need a way to add the permission to child objects that aren't inheriting.
Any tips on how to improve performance of ICACLS?
1. icacls folder /grant GROUPNAME:(OI)(CI)(F) (i will post corrected code later, this works in CMD but not powershell couse of bracers)
2. get-childitem -recurse -force |?{$_.psiscontainer} |%{icacls ....} (or u can list only folders where inheritance is disabled and apply icacls just on them)
I think jrv and Mekac answered the first question about inheritance flags. I would just add that you probably don't want to use the /T switch with icacls.exe because that appears to set an explicit entry on all child items (that's probably why it's taking
so long).
For your second question, I'd suggest using the Get-Acl cmdlet. It throws terminating errors, so I usually wrap it in a try/catch block. Something like this might work if you just wanted the paths to files/folders that aren't inheriting permissions:
dir $Path -Recurse | ForEach-Object {
try {
Get-Acl $_.FullName | where { $_.AreAccessRulesProtected } | ForEach-Object { Convert-Path $_.Path }
catch {
Write-Error ("Get-Acl error: {0}" -f $_.Exception.Message)
return
If you're looking for speed/performance, you don't want to just use the PowerShell Access Control (PAC) module that Mike linked to above by itself. It's implemented entirely in PowerShell, so it's incredibly slow right now (unless you use it along with Get-Acl
/ see below for an example). I'm slowly working on creating a compiled version that is much faster, and I think I'm pretty close to having something that I can put in the gallery.
Since I wasn't sure which command would give you the best results, I used Measure-Command to test a few different ones. Each of the following four commands should do the exact same thing. Here are my results (note that I just ran the commands a few times
and averaged the results on a test system; this wasn't very rigorous testing):
# Make sure that this folder and user/group exist:
$Path = "D:\TestFolder"
$Principal = "TestUser"
# Native PowerShell/.NET -- Took about 15 ms
$Acl = Get-Acl $Path
$Acl.AddAccessRule((New-Object System.Security.AccessControl.FileSystemAccessRule(
$Principal,
"Read", # [System.Security.AccessControl.FileSystemRights]
"ContainerInherit, ObjectInherit", # [System.Security.AccessControl.InheritanceFlags]
"None", # [System.Security.AccessControl.PropagationFlags]
"Allow" # [System.Security.AccessControl.AccessControlType]
(Get-Item $Path).SetAccessControl($Acl)
# PAC Module 3.0 w/ PowerShell/.NET commands -- Took about 35 ms
$Acl = Get-Acl $Path | Add-AccessControlEntry -Principal $Principal -FolderRights Read -PassThru
(Get-Item $Path).SetAccessControl($Acl)
# icacls.exe -- Took about 40ms
icacls.exe $Path /grant "${Principal}:(OI)(CI)(R)"
# PAC Module 3.0 w/o Get-Acl -- Took about 350 ms
Add-AccessControlEntry -Path $Path -Principal $Principal -FolderRights Read -Force
Unless I messed something up, it looks like the native PowerShell/.NET commands are faster than icacls.exe, at least for modifying a single folder's DACL.

I have a 4 month long text message thread conversation. What's the quickest way to get to the very beginning of the conversation?

I have a 4 month long text message thread conversation. What's the quickest way to get to the very beginning of the conversation?

The startup.exe file is locate in the \NI-RT\STARTUP directory. 'cd NI-RT' then 'cd STARTUP' should get you to the right place after making the connection with ftp. I don't recognize PH_EXEC.EXE. Logging in as anonymous is fine. I don't recall seeing documentation on the file structure and locations on the module but I'm sure there is some. I just wandered around w/ftp.
The program to update the node should be below. Enter the IP address, the green light will confirm the node is found.
The version function scans the existing startup.exe for a string beginning and ending with " RU Version " and prints everything in between as the version.
The autostart function will copy the existing ni-rt.ini file to your computer, mod
ify the autostart as requested, then put the file back. Leaves the copy on the PC, which can be handy.
Send file will request a file of the format startup*.dat which will be renamed startup.exe and ftp'd to the module. Lets you keep version numbers in the filename on the PC side. Your directory structure probably won't match mine so you'll have to browse for your file.
Reboot module reboots the module.
Hope this is useful, let me know if anything doesn't make sense. Thanks.
Matt
