Slideshow project settings- which one for best result?

Hello all
I was wondering if I can get some help.
I am setting up to put several slideshows together with nothing but hi-res photos. No video but for high quality backgrounds and lower thirds.
I am a strictly DV (miniDV) shop for now. However, I was wondering if I can use something like DVCpro or DVCpro HD to produce the slideshow to get some truly hi quality photos on DLP Tv screens. The final product will be delivered on DVD. ( this is not a paying job it is the wedding of my sister-in-law that I photographed).
I have Final Cut Studio 2.
Any help in the right direction would be appreciated
Brice

Hi,
I'm not sure that this is going to help you at all because you seem (?) to want to mix HD or similar with DV and there are a lot of issues that could cause difficulties.
However, you can get very good slideshow results using methods explained in a book called Photoshop WOW - if you can get a copy of this it will also provide photoshop 'actions' on DVD to assist in the processing of your pictures.
If you look at another thread on this discussion board for FCP there is some explanation of the process - look for the topic regarding 'Still Images into a Project'.
But I expect that this is not quite what you have in mind.

Like I said before ask facebook or look at their support site to see if that is even a feature.

I am considering buying a new MAC laptop to run LOGIC for composition and band live/recording, but which one is best as I do not want to spend too much money? Does it have a line in and how do you monitor sound? Will I need adaptors and a interface?

Can anybody help?

Also, I am guessing as Logic only runs on MAC surely then they would not the best spec to recommend to run it?
I see all the upgrades as additional memory or a faster process?
Is a retina screen necessary, and why flash based storage against a 1TB hard drive, and a i5 instead of an i7
The main reason for this purchase is to play live and use backing tracks and record found sounds and make creative songs.
I hope you can provide some valuable feedback, as I am a longtime MAC user and see upgrades and changes happen regularly but the most important thing is the songs not the equipment.
I have £500 already and willing to add another 500 to 700 pounds, then software extra.

I will not qualify it as best. Best depends on your requirement. 2008 r2 is much cheaper than SS2012 and SS2014. First make sure what all features you need in your new environment. Please read below link for features supported by various editions of SQL
server

If you think 2012/2014 fits in your requirement well then go ahead.

Hi anyone. Can I buy an SD card reader for my old Powerbook G4, OSX, 10.4.11 and it's only USB. I've never needed one previously but I now need to update the firmware on my camera. Can I get one, if so which one's best? Many thanks.

Hi anyone.

Hello,
If it is a PowerBook G4 with a PC Card slot, you have two possibilities. You could buy a USB card reader for SD, or a PC Card adapter (such as SanDisk's 6-in-1adapter). Please note that you are or may be limited to plain SD (that is, not SDHC) unless otherwise noted. For a USB reader, make sure that it has Mac support. BTW, is an SD card absolutely necessary for the firmware update; is there not a way of updating via cable? If you post back with the camera model, someone may be able to provide additional information.

AirPrint vs. Printer Software for Macbook Pro? Which one is best?

I know I use Airprint for my mobile gadgets, but when setting up a new HP officejet printer in system prefs for my Macbook Pro and my Macbook Air, I have a choice between using Airprint as the driver OR using HP Printer Software specific to my printer as the driver.....which one is best to use?
Thanks much for your help.

Thank you for the response. I suppose I can try each format, but was hoping for a quick answer and possibly some information about differences between the two that I might not readily notice.
I am trying airprint now and notice no difference in speed to print, but do notice that there are different printing choices in the print dialogue box.

External control unit - which one works best?

i would like to buy an external control unit. which one works best with the final cut studio apps? as far as i know, there are three competitors, being:
TASCAM 1802, MACKIE CONTROL and Digidesign...
I would like to use the unit mainly for audio mixing and Transport functions. Maybe use some function keys for shortcuts... if the unit can be used also in Sound track pro it would not hurt But my major work is in FCP
thanks for your input!

I'd buy the Tascam 1802 as my control surface. Actually I'm saving my pennies to get one.
I have a Mackie Onyx 1640 with the Firewire card and I love it to pieces as a field mixer. But I can't get it to work well with my apps as a control surface. Maybe I should check and see if Mackie has improved the software.
But I'd go with the Tascam for FCP control surface use. You might get away with one of their smaller models if you don't need that many faders.
Save some money that way, maybe. Leave you more to send to Apple, MOTU, DigiDesign, Bias, and Waves for software upgrades. I mean, we all understand that those folks need our money way more than we do, right? Heh, heh, heh...
Good luck in your search.

Only you can make that determination. All things being equal the 2.5 GHz model is slower.

Netbeans Vs Eclipse .which one is best ?

hello,
My project work related to SNMP protocol. In my project I need to get and set data in a remote wireless device. for this , I want to know which one IDE (netbeans or eclipse) shall i use for my project.
now I am working in netbeans. but, the problem is it may strucking up some times and it takes some time while getting data and also at that time it struck.
If any one use the both IDEs, give your suggestions.
thank you.

I use netbeans at work, I am currently using the
latest release. I find it quite slow, and it hangs
quite often for periods of anything between 10
seconds and 2 minutes.
One of my colleagues is now using eclipse as he was
having similar problems with netbeans, and I am
thinking of changing to eclipse.
I will wait until I get a ram upgrade for my work
machine though, as this could be the reason I am
experiencing this.I used to have this problem too whenever I unplugged my computer and it was running off of battery (I'm using a laptop). It frustrated me for a long time until someone suggested it was my power settings. I also noticed in the interim that it wasn't just NetBeans, it was all my Java programs. My graphics card (ATI Radeon) was optimizing for battery life when my computer wasn't plugged in. So I adjusted my power settings and now NetBeans works fine whether or not my computer's plugged in.
I did briefly use Eclipse before I changed my power settings, and it didn't seem to suffer from the same problems NetBeans did. I think it's due to the fact that NetBeans uses Swing whereas Eclipse uses SWT.

JPEG for Best Results

I want to include some JPEG still images into a project. I tried just applying them to the timeline and of course they look terrible. Do I need to convert to .tiff or .png, change the pixel ratios etc.? What is the best workflow or where can I find the instructions for this operation?
Thanks

#50 - Quality difference between Viewer and Canvas
Shane's Stock Answer #49 - Why is the quality different between what I see in the Viewer and what I see in the Canvas?
Well... the viewer is just that-- a viewer. It will display anything that fcp will recognize as usable video or graphics. The canvas is a viewer too, but at the pixel dimension specified by the settings of your project and sequence.
For example, if your graphic or footage is much higher resolution than your 720x480 DV sequence, FCP is interpolating down your file to fit the settings of the sequence. Usually this makes it look not so hot. DV is a 5:1 compression working with a 4:1:1 color depth. Your pristine picture images and graphics are being crushed.
Same with picture files. High res pics now adopt the sequence settings and will render to those specs, and most likely they are not as high quality.

What settings to use for best surround Music ZX + Logitech Z5500s

Hey Guys,
I finally got around to setting up my speakers throughout the room, but I can't get them to sound a good as older gen SB cards. I am looking for a setting that will play the same sound out of all 5 speakers for music. Every mode I use either distorts the sound or it sounds like a tin can in the rear or has missing speakers. The best settings which are not optimal in my opinion is just stereo mode on my sound card. Then changing my speakers to make it stereo x2 which doesn't give me use of the front center speaker. Also probably doesn't give me the best sound for movies. I know some of the issue is due to the cards not having CMSS3D or stereo xpand like the old cards, and the surround modes that are in place now make the rear speakers sound really bad or the music fades in and out. Any help would be appreciated.
Thank you,

for Winamp, download "Matrix Mixer" and setup its mixing matrix so to output L/R to rears and center channels as well, using desired volumes ("1" being 100%, "0.5" being 50% and so on).
for Foobar2000, download "Channel Mixer" and set its Upmix Mode to "Copy".
MPC-HC has built-in "Audio Switcher" filter where you could edit custom matrix / channel mapping, or better use AC3Filter and set its own matrix.
in general, ASIO plug-ins should also enable similar channel mapping functionality.
Youtube videos could be streamed to MPC-HC via "SVPTube" tool.
so yea, in order to properly enjoy our stereo music over 5.1 speakers systems with the Z, we must turn to free 3rd party software. as I've learned over the years, once Creative lay out a software package for their product, you can forget about functionality additions in its lifetime. expect bug fixes at the most, which are also pretty rare these days.
@ProDoctoR1987, while I pretty much enjoyed my X-Fi, it had its own downsides, e.g: regularly managing 3 different modes was a pain in itself. there aren't perfect solutions, we pick our own poison.
Yeah that's true, but can you compare switching mode to having crappy sound most of the time or having to use 3rd party software and fittle around with that so you hopefully get descent sound out of a +200 euro sound card ?!
I think the best thing Creative can do is add CMSS 3D like it was with the X-fi series to their software package. Who want's great hardware only to have only good software if it works wich is even a luxury in some cases.
