What is the disc utility supposed to look like with a fusion drive

I have bought a brand spanking new iMac 2013 with a fusion drive. I had a bit of a glitch with the set up of boot camp. I have taken it to the apple service centre and they reformated the drive. But I am no expert but it seem as though the computer is really slow, even slower than my 2009 iMac. can any one tell me what the fusion drive should look like in the disc utility? It appears as two seperate drives!? is this right? Can some one please help me?

Effect that looks like video being smashed?

I have a piece of video that is full screen at 720x480 and the client wants a person's foot to come in from the top and smash or crunch the video down to expose just the foot (smash the competition -get it?). Would this be possible in either FCP or Motion? I'm thinking some kind of wipe effect or jagged wipe effect. Any suggestions?
Thanks,
John Schenkel

i'd look into motion on this one. FCP can do wipes and garbage and stuff like that but that is ultimately 'cropping' the video if you will and not distorting it. check your motion manual and look up effects. Distort, corner pin, things like that. the manuals are easy to read. if you are still having trouble check the motion forums. good luck

5.0 shows installed on ff help. Programs and features shows only 3.6.8. When I try to download 5.0 computer says it must restart to finish installation of another ff. Restart has no effect. Looks like I am stuck on 3.6.8. Please help.

This computer will not update to 5.0. I have tried to download and install 5.0 for many weeks. My OTHER computer updated fine. When I try to install 5.0 it say to restart to finish installation of another firefox. Restart does not change anything.
I click on ff help, about ff and it says 5.0 is installed. I look on programs and features and only ff 3.6.8 is listed. I have tried clean ups, update java, plugins and stuff like that with no change to this issue.

I guess no one cares.

What does the display look like with 'My Movies'?

I'm thinking about buying an Apple TV, not to rent movies but to stream all of my own videos to a seperate tv. I'm already doing this with my Xbox 360 with H.264 video but before people watch it they have no idea what the video is about because apart from the brief information i can give in the title, their isn't any picture, comments etc. So i was wondering if the Apple TV has any of these features for the 'My Movies' section:
-Cover Flow/Browse by Cover
-Playlists (eg. Recently Added, My Top Rated)
-Title
-Year
-Rating
-Genre
-Comments
-Actors
-Anything else
Also i was wondering if you can use the search feature for 'My Movies' rather than just rented movies?
Any one who can give me answers i would be so grateful
Thankyou

This shows the 2.0+ top level interface change and how Store content is shown.
http://gizmodo.com/355843/apple-tv-20-review2
Currently you can't use search for My Movies or My whatever, it only works in the Store. Might change, might not. Apple's business model seems to be pushing towards rentals/purchases whereas originally it was a media extender for your own or Apple purchased content before all rentals became available earlier this year in the US and last week in the UK.
They have added genres for My Movies so if you tag a movie as horror, sci-fi, drama, family holidays, westerns etc it should show as a genre.
On Mac there's a great tagger called MetaX (might be worth a look as there's a video there showing some of teh tags that can be applied) - I would not be surprised if there's something similar on the PC.

One last thing, although you've encoded your video as h264 and it plays on Xbox it will not necessarily play on AppleTV unless if fits the specs for playback found here:
http://www.apple.com/uk/appletv/specs.html
Not trying to put you off, but that could be an issue for you.
In the same way some things I've encoded for AppleTV don't work on my PS3.

What does OBIEE sign on look like with SSO?

Dumb question, we may be using SSO with OBIEE in the near future. When that is turned on, and a user goes to the OBIEE URL - does it just automatically log in without showing the sign on page (this is what I'm assuming)?
Thx,
Scott

Hi Scott,
If you have a valid session then it would log you in. But if there is no valid session then it depends on OBI Version. If you are using OBI 10g it would show not logged in page. If you are using a OBI 11g it would show the default login page.
Regards,
Jay

How to create stop/start effect for tilt/shift

Hi I was wondering how to get the animated look I have seen with tilt/shift videos. I want to record my scenes using my Canon 5D Mk2 in video mode rather than use time lapse and increase my shutter count. So after I have shot my video with my Tilt/shift lens I want to create the jittered video effect in FCP, any help would be appreciated. Many thanks in advance.
Steve

you can maybe have a play with the Video Filters > Video > Strobe effect, see if that gets you where you want to go

Problem with tilt shift effect

I have the latest version of Elements 12 and have just started to experiment with the Tilt-Shift Guided Effect. The problem I'm having is that when I try to change the area of focus, nothing much seems to change in the picture. Sometimes it seems like the original in-focus area stays in place and I can make small changes elsewhere in the picture.
I was wondering if anyone else was having a problem with Tilt-Shift?
thanks.

I think I verified what I was seeing in Guided Mode by going to Expert Mode after trying to alter the focus area. In expert mode I found a mask for the blur layer - and what I saw were 2 gradients rather than just one. One of the gradients in the mask was where Elements put the default in-focus area, and the second gradient in the mask was where I tried to move the in-focus area to. I was expecting to find one gradient on the mask, but instead there were two. Are others observing this same behavior? Thanks.

Tilt & shift for video.

Hello,
I´ve been shooting (video) landscape/houses with a 5DMIII. Using an L zoom like EF16-35mm f/2.8L II USM to make a panoramic shot rotating my camera slowly with my tripod/video head, Its certain that distortion is present in my footage. Especially with buildings, using the more wide range (16-24mm) of that lens. You know what I mean. Vertical lines moving while the camera rotates.
A friend of mine made the same footage with the EF24-70mm f/2.8L II USM and at the 24mm range the distortion is also present while the camera moves.
Now, if I use a tilt & shift lens like the TS-E24mm f/3.5L II will I be able to correct perspective first and start doing my video panoramic keeping the perspective correction? Or this feature is just ok for still photography?
I guess this problem is less evident while shooting landscape from a distance and very present shooting houses/cities from closer points of view (here is my real problem). But I need to register both.
Any help will be very appreciated.
Thank you very much.
Regards.
Solved!

A T/S lens is not what you want for this. You want a lens with low distortion (no barrel, pincushion, or mustache distortion).
If you're compositing multiple shots together, you don't need to start with a wide lens. A lens like the Canon 50mm f/2.5 macro has very little geometric distortion, so it's great for taking photos that will be stitched together.
If you're just looking for a lens that won't bend lines as you pan, find an older Canon 20-35mm f/2.8L lens and set it to about 28mm. It's almost perfect at that point.

270 degree panorama using tilt shift

I have tried to combine 9 photos taken with a tilt shift lens (each photo is corrected in camera by the tilt shift and in portrait) into a panorama. I cannot get any satisfactory results with the stitching process in photoshop CC 2014. I have tried a combination of options from Auto through to selecting the others but to no avail. Photoshop can stitch 3 images by selecting perspective option and checking the geometric distortion option. That apears to be the best it can do. Can anyone help me stitch the 9 images? Thanks.

There are stitching applications that do a much better job stitching then Photomerge they were designed to stitch and have controls and features. Their autostitch mode work better then Photomerge. for example look at Autopano Pro and if you want to go big Autopano Giga.

To make KDE apps look like KDE apps

Hi everybody!
I am very new to Arch so please don't be hard on me. :-)
I have some problem with looks of apps. I use Gnome but I also have Xfce and KDE installed. My KDE apps look like this:
As you can see - buttons of Gnome on KDE app. I want to make all apps look like the DE they belong. How do I do that?

I think that that it would be very hard to use Oxygen effects outside KDE (not kwin: oxygen style has it's own effects).
When you turn off those effects in KDE apps lok exactlly the same as on your image.
With effects they look like this:
Maybe someone has managed to „tweak" something.... hope so.

Tilt-Shift Effect

How to create a Tilt-Shift Effect with Photoshop Touch
Create the impression of a miniature landscape with this popular photographic technique.
1. After selecting the "Tilt-Shift Effect" tutorial, press "Begin Tutorial" to start. Choose Adjustments > Saturation.
2. Change the Saturation to about 67% and tap OK
3. Tap Add Layer and create a duplicate
4. Choose Effects > Basic > Gaussian Blur
5. Set Blur to about 10. Tap OK.
6. Pinch and zoom out with two fingers to reduce the view to about 50%.
Tip: Zooming out before you continue to the next step will allow you to see the entire image while creating a gradient mask for the blurred layer.
7. Tap the & menu, then Add Fade.
8. Select a vertical gradient and move the lower gradient handle to the bottom of the image.
9. Tap the Edit Gradient button to alter the gradient
10. Move the right transparent spot button to the middle. Add another opacity spot by tapping at the right edge of the gradient slider where the moved spot should be.
Tip: You can remove unwanted gradient spots by dragging them vertically out of the spot area.
11. Change the new spot Opacity to 100%. The Opacity gradient should vary from 100% to 0% to 100%. Tap OK.
Tip: Tapping a spot on the gradient bar toggles the Opacity slider on and off.
12. Tap the back arrow in the top options bar. This will prompt you to save. Press Save to save your project.

I'm kind of restricted as to the height and position on the indoors shots. I have my eye on positions but it means climbing up on things and getting into corners but, if needs must.
I was using alpha channels as the angles I've used so far don't lend themselves to making a straight mask. I'll stick with it though, it might look better on just the automated machine with no people.
Maybe being forced into working with odd angles and positions might give the video something unique over the rest, probably not though. I guess there's only one way to find out.

How can I adjust the contrast of video on my MacBook Pro Retina so they don't look like they were filmed with an old sock over the lens?

I'd like to watch movies and TV shows, downloaded from iTunes or Amazon, on my MacBook Pro Retina, but they all look like they were filmed with an old sock over the lens. Daytime sequences look muddy, and night time sequences are incomprehensible with anything but the brightest objects rendered as black. I can watch the same files on my old MacBook Air and everything looks right, but no manner of tweaking seems to let me watch movies on my new machine.
I've tried adjusting the gamma. It's a bit better when gammas is set to 1.0, but I can't seem to set a gamma less than one. I tried using the Accessibility Contrast control, but it just lowers the contrast, swallowing my desktop into the dark abyss. I tried Applecare, but they don't have a clue. I tried the Apple Store. The "genius" confirmed that it is indeed impossible to watch movies shot anywhere but in the brightest sunlight on a MacBook Pro Retina, and it isn't just my machine, but every similar model in the store. He arranged for someone who really understands color profiles to give me a call, but Apple seems to have dropped the ball on this.
Is there some tool for stretching out the darker grays in Apple video? I don't want calibration. My impression is that my display, like the dozens I checked at the Apple Store are calibrated to make all dimmer grays appear completely black. I want uncalibration so I can actually see what is going on in the movies even if something is in a light shadow or shot at night. Hollywood has lots of trained technicians who can light and shoot night scenes that are quite comprehensible. I've watched a number of such scenes on my old MacBook Air. Now, I'd like to enjoy their artistry on my MacBook Pro Retina.

http://www.ifixit.com/ has directions for do it yourself. Also look at PRAM battery instructions, as sometimes this can fix optical drive issues.
You can get external or internal drives from http://www.macsales.com/
I also suggest in the future, take care of this problem while it is still under warranty. It may have cost you nothing.

Only by sending the photo to an external editor or using a plug-in, like Toonit (see ToonIt! For Aperture (Digital Anarchy)).
The effects in Aperture (see the are very basic. Some simple effects Quartz Filter effects can be added by using Automator services, see my user tip here:
