Simple question regarding HD video

If a movie is to be watched on a standard TV, are there any advantages of shooting in HD? What I'm saying is, can I shoot in HD 16X9 and then edit in HD 4X3?

You can capture and edit HD, then compress to a DVD that will play properly on a standard TV (letterboxed) or a widescreen TV (fullscreen).
The kind of HD camera you use will determine your hardware requirements to achieve this. You may be better off having the HD footage downconverted to Digibeta and working in SD if your final result will be an SD DVD.

  • Some simple questions regarding the Xcode.

    I have some preliminary questions regarding the Xcode (objective C):
    What is the difference between the programming files followed by .h and .m?
    What does an asterisk * followed by a text mean (i.e. *window;)?
    Is there any source that briefly explains the most common codes with examples (nsstring, nsarray, iboutlet, inaction.....etc)?
    Any other tips will be highly appreciated.
    Many thanks.

    Xcode is the IDE.
    Objective-C is the most common language used within Xcode.
    UIWindow *window .....  the * means return the address of the instance variable 'window'.
    An * is called a pointer to a variable.

  • Pretty simple question regarding headphones.

    Hey everybody. I want one of the new shuffles as a secondary iPod, however, I just got a new pair of Bose in-ears and there's no way I'm letting them go to waste. I guess I have a few simple questions anyone who already has a new shuffle can easily answer:
    1. Does playback immediately start upon switching the switch to either shuffle or straight through? and
    2. Can you plug in the apple headphones, adjust the volume to an acceptable level, select a playlist, etc., then switch out to third party headphones to listen?
    As for an adapter, there's no way I'm spending money on accessories for an $80 mp3 player. Sorry Apple...

    Yes
    Basically, when you unplug the apple headphones, or even turn it off after you've set what you want it'll keep your 'settings' but stop playing.
    When you plug in your own headphones, you just need to switch it off and on again to continue playing where you left off.
    Awkward, but possible. Btw, the new shuffle audio quality and playlist handling is definitely an improvement over the 2nd gen shuffle. Basically the player is better all round.
    It's just the lack of a headphone adapter that lets it down.

  • Need help! (Simple question regarding Soundblaster Wireless Music)(I ho

    Hey everyone, this might be a bit of a dumb n00b question but I'm having a problem with my soundblaster wireless music.
    The problem is that it won't shuffle any tracks.
    I have createdplaylists, populated them all very easily, but it will only play one track from each one. I have to select every single track it I want it to play manually on the remote. Using the 'Mode' button on the remote about all I can get it to do is repeat the same track over and over again.
    The only way i've been able to get it to shuffle is by loading a bunch of tracks into the "Now Playing" secton of the console but that seems a little tedius and kind of what i created the playlists for in the firstplace.
    Is this the way the software is supposed to function or am I missing something so simple that it will make me look dumb...

    When trying to play your play list with the remote are you going into the playlist before hitting play? You need to hit play at the playlist list level, not once you'e gone into a given playlist where the songs of the playlist are listed.

  • A simple question regarding c:out and ADF

    I have a small problem which I can't figure out :-(
    The solution is probably dead easy, but I don't see it ..
    The problem is :
    I have a jsp-file which have the following tags :
    <c:out value="${bindings.EstimatedInterest}" />
    <c:out value="${bindings.RemainingAmount}" />
    And I want to have one more field which just adds these two together.
    But I get this error :
    Attempt to coerce a value of type "oracle.jbo.uicli.binding.JUCtrlAttrsBinding" to type "java.lang.Long" (null)
    Can anyone pls point me in the right direction ?
    With regards, TA

    This may help. I asked Muench what I think is about the same question:
    http://radio.weblogs.com/0118231/2004/04/28.html
    in general:
    <c:out value="${(bindings.Returned.inputValue.value / bindings.Total.inputValue.value) * 100}"/>
    (this may not be the same as your question but will point you in a direction)

  • A simple question regarding flash output from Encore

    My primary question is how exactly is the html file that is playhed by the browser created in Encore?  I have tired this and I am simply unable to located the html file as seen in the tutorials on this subject.  I see that these tutorials have templates which I don't see when I select the flash output.  Do I need these to crreate a simple flash file that is playable on a website?  Where to the templates come from?  This is not explained in the tutorials.
    Is the index.html file created automatically when Flash output is selected as the format?  Maybe I am doing something wrong but I have never found them?
    Please help as I am having to go through a two step process to create the requied index.html and embeded player from which the SWF is played.on a site.  I am only interested in creating progressively encoded web site playable files from Encore.  Please help!.
    Thanks for any assistance. 

    Encore creates the HTML file when you export to Flash - it's in the folder named on export, along with all the other files you'll need.

  • Simple Questions regarding temperatures for MacBook Pro

    Hey,
    I just bought a brand new Macbook Pro Mid-2012 2.9 Ghz, i7 Processor, 8 GB of ram, and 750 HDD. It's my first Mac I've bought I'm switching over from an overheating windows laptop.
    Now my Mac gets extremely hot under light usage. First thing I did is get iStat to measure temperature. I also went into an Apple Store to get diagnostics done to make sure all hardware, sensors, everything is working and that test passed. Although I realized my Macbook never goes down 100F. Is that normal? All I have open is safari, finder, and maybe a few other apps. I've checked activity monitor and don't see nothing to high. So is 100F normal?
    Another issue I have is with Chrome. I used Google Chrome a lot on my windows and I want to on my MacBook too, although when using chrome it gets very hot and very high temperatures such as 170-190F. I've stopped using chrome and use safari, and now I'm at 120F. Why does Chrome do that, is there a fix?
    Also, when watching youtube videos using flash I also get very high temperatures such as 150-170F.
    So are these temperatures normal? What temperature should my MacBook Pro be at? And what are good temperatures to keep my MacBook Pro at, meaning not exceeding it.
    I'd love any opinions and helpful responses.
    Thanks,
    Jai

    Yeah I know there isn't a normal temperature but I meant an ideal temperature to keep it running at, which you did answer to thanks.
    But here's the deal, I only have been web browsing so far not even mail, and I never go beneath 115F. Especially when using Chrome, my CPU get's used a lot and I reach unto 170F when using chrome, but on safari I can go down to 125F for web browsing only. As we speak I'm on 128F.
    Is there anything wrong?
    (I forgot to add that when I took it into an Apple Store, one of the geniuses told me not to use chrome as its eating up CPU and heating my MacBook and told me to use Safari, if I wanted to run my MacBook cooler)

  • New question regarding iPod Video (converting from a DVD)

    First off...thanks again for those who helped me before. iSwuint seemed to work best for mac conversions for the new ipod. My new question is how to copy a dvd to make it compatible also using a mac. I know there is a program for pc that works, but I am using a g4 laptop. Thanks again in advance.

    The problem seems to be that it is seeing all the chapters as titles. The longest title is 22 min and it is like a hour and a half movie. Has anyone else had this problem.
    HandBrake sometimes has a problem listing all of the titles contained on a DVD. When HandBrake scans the title you may notice that it reads them all but when the list is generated, some entries in the list are omitted. This is likely what happened here. There are two approaches you can try. The first is to switch to an alternate application. The second would be to rip/extract the main title using a separate application like MacTheRipper and then use HandBrake's "browse" function to navigate to the appropriate VIDEO_TS folder files.

  • Simple question on aligning video and audio

    I am new to this and am using the Cs4 trial.  I have placed a video in video 1 timeline and it has audio that appears in the audio one line. Now I have also inserted a plain audio file from the sound board of the same event into audio track two. I would like to align them so I magnified them and can see the exact start time of the audio in the waveform.  The problem is I can not align the two.  If I slide either one back and forth they just jump to a frame marker. Like I said I am new at this.  I can understand that the video can only move on frame or one key frame at a time?  But shouldn't the audio just slide with out jumping?  I hit a button that said snapping but that didn't change anything.
    Also how do you align two videos?  If I have two videos of the same performance It would seem that I have to align them together to then use the multicamera mode?  I tried the razor tool but that only seems to cut on a frame.   Doug

    You can set the timecode display to "Audio Time Units" which gives you much more finite control when positioning or trimming audio tracks. Click the fly-out menu in the Timeline panel or Program Monitor to find it:
    Note that video can only be positioned or trimmed to whole frames; how precise you get is dicatated by the timebase of your sequence. For example, in a 24p sequence, you only have 24 subdivisions of a second; in a 60p sequence, you have 60 subdivisions. Likewise, the razor tool/command is bound to frames, at least when slicing video.

  • Need simple answer regarding ASF video from Helmet Cam

    I hooked my small helmet cam video up to my g4 powerbook, it loads on the computer as an .asf file. I can open the file in Windows Media (defaulted to that) and play it but I hear nothing. Before it play I get a message that it may not play correctly because it was compressed using a non supported codec. I did not compress anything, the video is straight from the camera.
    1. How can I get the video to play the sound?
    2. How can I convert to Quicktime - or even open in quicktime?
    Thank you in advance for any help you can give!
    Shelley

    Once the file is opened in Windows Media Player, do a command I to get info. This should give information about the type of tracks you're seeing.
    Some people have found success in using ffmpegX to open and convert .asf files. It's not the easiest program in the world to use, but give it a try.

  • Seemingly simple question regarding safe areas

    I can't seem to find a simple fix to this anywhere, though it seems to me like
    there should be one.
    When I shoot, I compose my shots in camera so that they look the same when played on a TV. Because of the nature of television, some portion is always cut off.
    Is there an easy way to size the image down to fit the title safe grid so the entire IMAGE is safe on screen?
    Please help me I am freaking out!

    is there no happy medium for those of us who just want to make one
    disc that will play well and will show the proper image on a range
    of televisions as well as projector screens?
    The use of safe areas is that happy medium.
    Because I'm in a verbose mood, let's talk about movies for just a second. If you've ever had the chance to look at a strip of 35mm film, you'll notice that the exposed area isn't actually the same shape as a movie screen. Theatrical features are shown in a variety of aspect ratios, but they're almost always of a shape that's wider than a 35mm frame. Many movies are shot "full frame," meaning the whole 35mm film area is exposed when the camera rolls. Some of these movies are "soft-matted" in the projector at your local cinema; the film print actually has the whole exposed image on it, but it's projected through a rectangular plate that obscures the top and bottom.
    (Not all movies are done this way. Some are hard-matted, and some are printed to be shown through anamorphic lenses, and so forth. I'm just drawing an analogy here, so don't harsh my mellow.)
    Because you're showing the film through a little piece of metal with a hole cut in it, +no two projections of the same soft-matted spherical-lensed film will ever be framed exactly the same way.+
    Not only that, but next time you go to the movies, look really closely at the edges of the screen. Odds are you'll see that the projected image actually spills over slightly, by up to a foot or so. Between soft matting and differences in projection, the extreme edges of a motion-picture frame are basically a no-man's-land. Anything right at the edge of the image is not guaranteed to be visible on the screen.
    TV works the same way. Different sets handle overscan different ways. The solution — that happy medium you asked for — is to compose your shots with a "safe area" in mind. As noted above, a lot of cameras will show you safe-area guides right in the viewfinder; use them.
    But the dirty little secret is that there are actually two "safe areas." There's "action safe," which is that area of the frame in which you can reasonably expect your audience to see +stuff happening.+ And then there's "title safe," which is the area of the frame which you can reasonably expect won't butt right up against the edge of the screen. That's why when you turn on safe areas in Final Cut, for example, you see two rectangles. The outer one is action safe; the inner one is title safe. On-screen titles, as the name implies, should always be kept entirely inside the title-safe area.
    If you have any experience with print at all, consider the area outside action safe to be your "bleed." It's there to ensure that the image extends all the way to the edge of the screen, but you can never be sure precisely where the edge is going to fall.
    In this particular case, maybe you should go back and look at your show while asking yourself if it really matters all that much whether what you see on the TV is precisely what you tried to film. Losing a little bit on the sides might offend your artistic sensibilities — that's not sarcasm; we're all here because we have artistic sensibilities — but it really might not make that much difference.

  • Simple question regarding the loop browser

    Unless the loop is in a time different from 4/4
    shouldnt every loop ( orchestral etc etc ) that is dragged over the loop browser be
    incorporated into the loop browser and if the loops name is typed in should appear
    in the browser?
    is this written in stone?

    No, by default you are only shown loops that are within 2 semitones of your song's key (and drum loops of course which have no key). There's an option in the prefs that you can uncheck to see all loops in your song's time signature (look for "keyword browsing").

  • Just simple question about java HTTP session mechanism...

    I have one simple question regarding the java HTTP Session Mechanism.
    1) Is there another alternative for the HTTP Session ? If have, what the alternative?
    2) I have been acknowledge that HTTP session is same as cookie system and others say have many different, where is the different..
    thanks

    1) You can always do your own session handling. But why bother when there is one there for you?
    2) The issue with sessions is how to identify the user from the request. Each session gets given a session id. The user has to send that session id with every request they make.
    The standard way is to use a session cookie, which only lasts as long as the browser session. The cookie with the JSESSIONID is sent with every request, thus the server can identify which session a user is in from their cookie.
    Of course you cannot assume that the browser will support cookies, so you need to encode all URLs with the method response.encodeURL(). That method puts the session id into the URL if the browser does not support cookies, or they have them switched off.

  • A simple Question about % in CR Chart!

    Hi, I have another simple question.
    When i use SQL to storage data and wanna Crystal Report to display the data in chart using %
    which data type should i use?
    float or string?
    and I found when i use 0.12 as 12% in database , It could not display in Crystal Report line chart normally.
    What should I do??
    Please Help!!!
    Thank you VERY MUCH!!!

    If you have the datatype as string from your database then try adding the string field as a summary field in chart and select maximum instead of count and if you have them in number format then you can directly select the percentage in chart.
