Starting a Wedding Project need some advice

Hi,
New to this forum, as I'm a recent convert from Avid to Final Cut. Not completely free from my PC projects, but ready to endeavor into my first full length production in Final Cut Express. This will be a Wedding Video of my Daughters Wedding shot back in Nov.
For starters I'd like to say that I will be using several different formats of clips. They range from HD, SD, and old analog that I will convert to SD clips.
I will be using Third party music, and adding effects, color correction, filters to bring balance to the film. It will most likely be under 1 hour, and have multiple menus, chapters of which I will make in iDVD. I will spend hundreds of hours on this production and hope to reduce my roadblocks by acquiring some helpful suggestions.
I am concerned about getting the sequences and project settings correct. Since most of the aspect ratio was shot in 16.9 I will use this codec. What advice can I get based on the information thus far to get the project off to a good start.
I've already captured 90% of all the raw footage from the wedding, over 6 hrs. The HD was imported from a Sony AVCHD showing a frame size of 1920x1080. Second Camera used was a SD Sony VX2100 720x480 and a third Sony TRV-730. The compression setting shows up "Apple Intermediate Codec"
I am a seasoned editor in Avid Pinnacle's Studio Platform and have used it for over 15 years. I feel solid in the PC arena, but like a fish out of water in the Mac world. I am learning and reading and reviewing on line studies to learn the basics of Final Cut. But if the foundation is incorrect as you build the project you only set yourself up for disappointment.
Thanks for any suggestions. Will provide more details as asked
Dan
Thanks in advance

so, the usual suicide mission of a first-timer project ...
no, I've read the rest of your post, you're an advanced editor ... but I like to make jokes about those wedding-videos, 'cause MY first project with FC/e was such, and I failed at a paramount degree
1) I've worked on a few short projects to date.
... I've already captured 90% of all the raw footage ...
oh, oh ...
BEFORE 'capturing', ALL material should be converted into final Project's Format! because, FC/e does NOT convert on import ...
I believe I have all my source video from the event, the rest is in files on my PC from folders that I have generated over the years on my daughter at play, etc. I have yet to transfer these files.
To this issue regarding clips of daughter's childhood, I work on inspiration as the story progresses. I do journal and take notes, I have found this extremely helpful, especially in putting together multi-cam shots of the same scenes. I have my own script sheets I've made to work this issue out. Although I see the notes that you can ascribe to each clip is very extensive, and thus I've made many and can update them as I review the clips. I like this feature in FC/e.
Give the free tool Mpeg Streamclip a try, choose Export to Quicktime/Appleintermediate as codec ...
Where is this available?
Choosing "Export" to Quicktime/Appleintermediate as codec. When is this done, since my clips that I've "Logged and Captured" from HD Camera are using this AIC
When I view my clips now in the folders they are quick time movies.
I may need to do this with the SD clips, since they don't show the Quicktime.mov.
capture the resulting .mov, or you get an annoying 'not rendered' after each 'cut' in FC/e.
I have started the project, naming the project, and have the captured video stored on my new G-Raid external 2TB Hard drive. I believe my file structure is correct, saving a few concerns about setting up sequences and matching them to the master clips. I've studied the manual intensely, but the learning curve is as you go.
get familiar with FC/e's bins and be disciplined in naming each take ... it helps on such projects. or, what I like to do is a 'paper-editing' first: pencil&paper, noting my thoughts what, where, what ... trial'n-error-editing is no good cook in FC/e.
I have done this and have learned this in Avid, although they are not called "bins" they are 'files and folders' rather.
... I've already captured 90% of all the raw footage ...
ie all but the childhood files that come as the story unfolds or inspiration dictates. I don't always follow a script, most of the time when doing family events it's all heart.

Having some serious issues with my iPhone and need some advice

I'm going to these two issues which have been occuring with me for the past weeks-
1.) I am facing a problem with my iPhone 5's lightning port or the cable. This started happening all of a sudden; one second my phone is charging, and the other it is not. Even if it is slightly moved from its position, it would stop charging, and further shaking starts it again, so on and so forth. At first I thought the issue might be with my cable, so I asked my friend to bring his lightning cable to my house so we could test that. It happened again- one shake the phone will charge, another shake stops it. (Note that any kind of movement does this, not only shaking) I'm a bit skeptical about his (my friend's) cable too, though- it shows NOT CHARGING on his iPad while it is in fact actually charging. His cable is only 3-4 weeks old though, so this confuses me even more. I think the issue might be with my port, but as of now I cannot draw a valid conclusion to my problem.
2.) The second problem is that I've noticed my battery drains a **** lot faster now- ever since the first issue started. I manage to get my phone charging by placing it very carefully on the table and it charges overnight. However, when I pick it up in the morning, and read some news, it drains from 100% to 99% in ~60 seconds. This never happened before. Before this, it used to be at 100% for at least 10-15 minutes (might be even more). If I reboot my phone, it shows 100% again, but it still drains a lot faster now. I know because I've been using this phone for the past 4 months now, and I know when it drains and when it does nots
Please, help! I need some advice as to how I should approach this problem. My phone is in the warranty period, however, I would like to have an expert's opinion first.

Hello,
First: I've experienced the same problem with my iPhone 5. I've bought a new charger and it still did the same thing. I went to the Apple Store to get my iPhone checked out and they said that the pins inside my iPhone we're damaged, and I had to get a replacement.

I'm Back! Need some Advice! Rebuild time! 6/19 UPDATE! 2nd UPDATE 7/6/15

WooHooooooo! Another quick update, only 5 minutes ago I found this link on credit karma http://www.creditonecards.com/pre-qualification.php?C1BSourceID=C1B1 that lets you prequalify for a credit card! Which I have tried many many many times only to recieve the message sorry we couldn't prequalify you at this time but here are some SECURED cards you may like which sucks! I decided to try one more time at this link and was totally surprised to get preapproval for a platinum card yay! Mind you, this card is probably the worst card to get and I will probably never ever use it, just need it to help with my utilization scores. The fees are high, the rates are high, the balance is low........but oh well I am still doing the happy dance!!!

I tried to keep it short Last time I was on I hadn’t reached the 600 club yet. But I am here now in the 600 club! Still the low 600’s but its progress. Unfortunately slow progress because a lot has happened since I was last on here. I am now officially divorced. I finally have permanent steady income, no temp services anymore phew. I have had to reevaluate my budget and cut a lot of things out. No cable, no home phone, monitor my electric bill like a hawk and learn to like the darkness, cold in the winter and the heat in the summer. I have an older smart phone, had to do without the latest gadgets and gizmos, which truly hurts my heart because I am an electronic fiend. No tablets here, no high tech laptops. Instead of buying a new car and making payments I bought a really good used gas-efficient car cash, paid in full. But since it’s still a newer car I am paying for full coverage insurance, my only splurge. I have spent this time away from this forum truly taking heed to the lessons I learned on here and reflecting on my situation. I have paid nearly everything off! It took some time but I only have 2 creditors left ‘that I know of’ to pay.One of the creditors has not reported to the bureaus yet but I want to take care of them before they do. Most of the ones I paid have already fallen off because of SOL. I was getting to the point I had the problem where I didn’t just have bad credit, I had NO credit. I hadn’t opened any new accounts until this year. Just today I opened a $500 Secured Personal loan and a few months ago I opened a $300 Secured Credit Card at my credit union. I also applied for a Quicksilver CapOne card and was approved for $300. I just started school this year and there is now a financial aid loan of $1750 that is reporting on my credit report as deferred right now. I tried to prequal for some more but was denied by all of them. So far only quicksilver would approve me. My plans are to move out of state next May and get an apartment for 6 months while I get the lay of the land and then purchase my FIRST home!!

Business Delegate pattern - need some advice

Hi. First let me apologize for the long post. I could see no other way. I�m building a system that quite large and I need some advice. The system is a type of transaction system, let�s suppose a shopping cart. I�m using struts taglibs and tiles for presentation, struts proper for controller, and POJOs for business logic. Also I�m using OJB for my data tier.
Now I�ve been reading Pro Jakarta Struts (Apress), which BTW is a recommended read to anyone with novice experience in struts and related technologies. I�ve assimilated most of the techniques and patterns described in the book, and most of them make sense to me. However, I�ve hit a snag while reading the Business Delegate and Service Locator patterns.
The way I had though of building my application before reading the book, was to have a wrapper class, such as the following:
public class ShoppingCart {
private IAuthenticationService authenticationService;
private ITransactionService transactionService;
public ShoppingCart() {
     authenticationService = new DBAuthenticationService();
     authenticationService = new DBTransactionService();
public login(String username, String password) {
     String sessionToken = authenticationService.logon(username, password);
     return sessionToken;
private boolean isValidUser(sessionToken) {
     bolean validUser = authenticationService.isValidUser(sessionToken);
     return validUser;
public performTransaction(sessionToken, TransactionVO) {
     if (!isValidUser(sessionToken) {
          throw new AuthenticationException();
     transcationService.performTransaction(TransactionVO);
public editPreferences(sessionToken, PreferencesVO) {
     if (!isValidUser(sessionToken) {
          throw new AuthenticationException();
     authenticationService.performTransaction(PreferencesVO);
}My idea was that my wrapper class would isolate all the business logic and could perform login service in case my application was ever to be used with other presentation layer than struts (standalone client, web services). However I believe that this overlaps the Business Delegate pattern and maybe even totally implements it. The way I understand the code I�m reading in the book, they suggest having a BD for each major service such as AuthenticationServiceBD, TransactionServiceBD, etc� However this would break my single point of entry for authenticating users. I really need some advice on my design and how it fits with the BD and SL patterns (or others). I would also like to know what you think/recommend of my authentication strategy.
thanks in advance
Raphael

Thanks for your reply. This however, I understood. My concern is regarding my application in regards to business delegate pattern. You see I have this class (simplified for clarity):
public class ShoppingCart {
   private ILoginService ls = new DBLoginService();
   private ITransactionService ts = new DBTransService();
   // and so on for all services I offer.
   // then I mirror all the calls of my private interfaces
   // and pass them through internally
   public String sessionToken login(String username, String password) {
        ls.login(username, password);
   public boolean addToCart(sessionToken, itemNo) {
        // check session
        ts.addToCart(sessionToken, itemNo);
   // and so on
}Multiple questions for this one:
1) Am I not already implementing the Business Delegate pattern with my ShoppingCart class since all interfaces are private and all calls are mirrored from the wrapper class (ShoppingCart) to the private interfaces? All services are implemented as POJOs and I am not using JNDI at the present so I don't use the ServiceLocator pattern.
2) I store a reference to the wrapper class (ShoppingCart) in the ServletContext so I can grab it from my Action classes. What do you think of this approach?
3) How many BDs should an application contain. In my case I use just one. What is the advantage of using more?
4) I create my own session tokens in case I ever want to use to business code in a non-web applications where sessions are not available readily. This brings about the problem that I can't pass the interfaces directly to the Action classes because the login session needs to be checked before any calls to services. So all methods include a sessionToken parameter which I use to check the session. This way, if I want to expose some of the services through web services, I can still use a login. What do you think of this approach.
5) Any other remarks are very welcome...
I really need help with this from an experienced programmer. Most things I can handle on my own but with this type of design issue, books just don't cut it. I need experience. I would really apreciate some feedback.

ps: I would give all my Duke dollars for this (I only have 30), but I'm not sure how. If you want them I can create a dummy question and give them to you.

I need some advice...

Hi, I'm not quite sure where this topic should go exactly as it isn't about a specific topic. So plz fogive me if it's wrongly placed in your opinion.
Anyway, I've been a long time fan of Linux and I don't want to have to stop using it. I've just recently converted my whole computer to a linuxbox only system, as I was running winxp(uke) before and couldn't stand it. It would lag during simple tasks like going from one directory to another and for no apparent reason, which aided me in my conversion. Enough about winblows, I don't need to tell you guys why it sucks, we all have our reasons. But there is just one thing bothering me now... and that is gaming. I am a huge fan of gaming and have been doing so for quite some time now (years) and well... gaming on linux hasn't been too pleasant for obvious reasons.
1) the games I play except for quake3 are written and made to run solely on a winblows workstation.
2) Wine and Winex3 have limited, but growing support for a range of games.
3) Lastly the main game I would like to play (Steam CS 1.6) doesn't like to run on linux due to its constant updates, which throws WInex3 out of wack. Where it could have been working the day before but due to the update it no longer runs.
I'm thinking of just making a partition for winxp(uke) so that I can game, but this isn't something I'm totally willing to do.
Basically I need some advice and/or suggestions that anyone is willing to share with me.
Thank you in advance.
BTW: I'm not new to linux, I've been using it for almost 2 years now and have tried ALL of the distro's you can think of. (Arch is my distro of choice at the moment, along with slackware.)

Enemy Territory is an excellent game, and it is totally free.
I haven't played the free game from the US Army, but heard it is really good, and is totally free.
I bought Return to Castle Wolfenstein, which plays perfectly in Single player mode, but I have some trouble in multiplayer mode (and I'm not an expert either).
I bought Unreal Tournament 2004, which plays perfectly in both single player and online, but I simply suck at the game.
I bought Never Winter Nights because I know the company has a linux version you can download once you have a registered copy. I havent installed it yet, though, been playing UT2004.
Doom3 is supposedly going to have a linux installer on the CD's, like UT2004 does.
Anygame that uses OpenGL graphics instead of DirectX will prolly run under WINE or WINEX, or be easy for the original company to port (if they choose to).
There are some "up and coming" linux only OpenGL games, light flightgear (a flight simulator), and a couple of 'massive online games".
Betweet RTCW, EnemyT, Never Winter Nights, UT2004, and soon Doom3 - I have enough games to play, and thats without buying winex.
Fergettabout Windows! You simply don't need it anymore.
If you are determined to run Windows, get a removeable drive bay, and just swap boot drives when you want to swtich. Or use GRUB if you want to select from multiple OS's.
thx

I agree with LowLister, the best option for you to share the video online is to upload it to your online storage account for example : Box, Dropbox, SkyDrive (All of them provide free storage beginning from 2GB).
You can upload the files which you want to share in this online storage and then they have sharing options in which you'll will get the link of the file to be sent and send the email. You're good to go!
Tip : You can store multiple files for backup purposes.

When I burn a disc from a playlist in iTunes, the track names and artist info does not display on the disc when friends view/listen to it. This probably is an easy fix, but I need some advice.

When I burn a disc from a playlist in iTunes on my MacBook, the track names and artist info does not display on the disc when friends view/listen to it. This probably is an easy fix, but I need some advice.

No, this standard has been implemented for several decades.
How iTunes remembers audio CDs - http://support.apple.com/kb/TA27785
It is just conceivable you burned a CD that exactly matched one already in the Gracenote database. Gracenote uses track count and duration to decide what CD it is you have in a computer. If you have one that matches that it will label it. You could conceivably even have one that matches it that is not the correct one.
This script will only work on Macs:

Dell Live! Value Soundblater card!!!! Need some advice

I have an old 400 that has this card installed model #CT4780. I have purchased a new Dell E30 and want to install this card in it. I have downloaded the driver pack Li'veDrvUni-Pack(ENG).exe. This was listed on the website as the correct one for XP. I notice that in the old computer there is a cable from the card to the CD-Rom and also one from the card to the modem. Are these cables need in the new computer? Also will I have a conflict with the integrated sound card that came with the new computer? I have not done anything expect download the driver pack.
I know some about computers but do not like to install boards and new computers fearing some thing will go wrong. I need some advice and the procedure before I preceded. Any help would be greatly appreciated. Thanks

Newer operating systems, computers, & audio cards do not require the use of the cable from the CD Rom to the soundcard. It is now handled via the IDE cable. Being that you only upgraded half of this equation (that being the computer and not the soundcard), this may be a "trial & error" situation. I do not have the experience with modem cards to comment on that one.
Finally, you will need to disable the onboard soundcard via the motherboard's Bios. Look in the MB's manual to perform this action.

Songs disappearing. Need some advice.

I need some advice regarind my ITunes library. I spent a lot of time importing all my cd's. I now have approx. 14,000 songs now. First I had put them all in as mp3's, then I heard about the quality and smaller size of AAC. I think that is where some duplicates came from. But some how I've ended up with up to 6 of a lot of my songs, at least it is showing 6 copies of many of my song in my ITunes library. But when I go to delete all but one of the songs, through ITunes, sometimes it is fine and sometimes I get the ! icon. I guess even though I left one in Itunes it actually deleted all copies. I did not know I was doing this because it doesn't show the ! icon until you go back and try to select the song. This took days and days to deleted over 6,000 duplicates.
Now I'm finding some albums are missing songs and some are missing the whole albums even though they show in Itunes. I even have gone through and tried to "FIND" the songs some are really there but most are not. So how to I go about reconstructing the library. Is it best to try and find each one or just wipe (delete) my library clean and just reimport the entire library? I'm talking about reconstructing approximately 12,000 songs and I have no idea how many cd's.
I just would like to know how you guys would handle this. Thanks for your help.

Need some advice on this big project

Hello there!
Let me introduce myself. My name is Wisse and I have been working with Adobe products since I was a child at the age of 8 (10 years ago). Well, then it was called Macromedia Flash but you understand what I mean.
I have always been using flash for making animations and small simple applications (for presentations and games) in my spare time. I also use photoshop and dreamweaver for making sites and other things. So I will soon order the new CS5 web design collection.
I have a big (biggest so far) project coming up and before I really started I thought it'd be best to orient on what Flash application(s) to use and how I will make this project. So here is the plan:
I am making a dutch driving exam site where people can take practice exams for a small text message fee. The application will have to look slick and work smoothly. I made this to clarify what the application has to do.
I have never worked with Flash Builder and Catalyst but I kind of like the idea of making nice looking interfaces using Catalyst and then export them to Flash Builder. But as I just said, I have never worked with Flash builder and so I don't know whether I will be able to make this on Flash Builder (due to it's complexity). Flash builder also has some nice options for accessing external data (the XML, HTTP API and PHP in this case). Catalyst's data list designer and transition animator will save a lot of time and effort when compared to doing it manually in Flash Pro. The big issue here is that I have no idea how to script the rest in Flash builder. the 5 day course might help, but I want to make to be sure that Builder is the best way to go before doing so.
But on the other hand, I am quite familiar with flash and that could also save time. Flash is a bit harder to use when I want to make a good UI and Flash builder wins when you look at the server communication and the debugging tools.
So I would like some advice from some fellow Adobe users. What would you do? What would be the best way for me to go, according to you?
Thanks in advance,
Wisse Jelgersma.

Just to elaborate,
The shape and look of the outside of a car is defined by A) its colour and B) the reflections of the light sources on its surface.
It's relatively easy to change the colour of the shell of the turtle, but making it look reflective is much harder (I didn't do a very good job myself), especially if you also want to keep the textures of the shell somewhat intact.
To light the shell you need to consider what the light sources are that are hitting the shell when it is outside. Reflections of the sky and clouds should be brighter, reflections of the ground should be darker.
In my attempt, I overlaid a landscape picture, warped to roughly follow the shape of the car, then played around with blend modes and opacity and colouration to achieve the above effect. (Although the "specular" highlights could stand to be brought up a bit more). In practice, making this look realistic is probably beyond my skill set.
Then I added the lightning bolt and wheels for fun.

I need some advice on a small servers network please !!

hi every one.
i need a small help please.
i have a collage project that is upgrading a network and my part is the server's network. actually it is 65servers, windows and non-win.
i wish to know what are the important issues that should be considered in connecting the servers with the rest of the enterprise?
i thought of some,but i need some deatails how to start working on it;
pls add any more or try to explain what do you think should be done in it:
*trafic analysis, but where?
*redundancy and failure backup
*security
*authorization, is VLANs sufficiant?
*server loads, how to calculate it?
Is there a special topology for server networks?or layering?
regards;
naif

There is a layered model for building infrastructure
core layer
distribution layer
access layer
The core layer needs to be fast most of the time layer 2 on some optical systems
Then you have the distribution layer. this is where you connect your servers and traffic analysing on layer 3. (like Cat6500 switches)
Then the access layer thats where you connect the end nodes. (like Cat4500 switches or 2950)
It is wise to segment your network into different VLAN's Like a seperate server VLAN and some client VLAN's, number of client VLAN's depents on the number of end nodes.
You can use multi layer switches (a MSFC card in 6500 switch) for routing between the VLAN's
For redundancy you can use for example 2 6500 switches with MSFC where you implement HSRP to have redundant gateways for clients and servers
For security you have to create some access-lists on the VLAN interfaces on the MSFC so you can implement traffic filtering between VLAN's
Do you also have a internet connection (firewallzone) in that case create a sepearate VLAN in which you connect the (PIX)firewall.
Do you need any more information?
Regards,
Maarten

Need some advices with OBIEE

Hi guys,
At the moment I am doing an internship somewhere, and I am supposed to visualise some data from an Oracle database into a Google Map.
The data should be fake, because the application will be a showcase.
I need some start-up hints, because actually I don't know where to start and with which programs.
First of all a little background.
The following programs are installed on my laptop:
- Oracle DB (1013)
- Oracle Example Schemas
- Oracle WebLogic (103)
- Oracle BI enterprise (101340)
- JDeveloper
This is what I want:
- Create a database or schema with fake data. The fake data should consist of addresses. (for the Google Map)
- The combination with BI enterprise is a requirement, part of the internship programme.
- Combination with Google map functionality.
Maybe someone can give me some advices in how to begin. Which techniques I should use or some useful tutorials.
I would really appreciate if someone can give me a heads up!

The [Oracle by Example|http://www.oracle.com/technology/obe/obe_bi/bi_ee_1013/index.html] website has many good step by step tutorials on OBIEE so that would be a good start. Having said OBIEE doesn't support "heat maps" or overlaying data on maps out of the box. They are some 3rd party tools out there but I don't think you want to go there. From my point of view anyone asking you to use OBIEE to overlay data on Google Maps doesn't know what OBIEE should be used for (and probably doesn't know Google Maps either).

I need some advice on compressing a FCP file to archive in Premiere

Here's the situation. I have edited a few projects on FCP - they range from 1 - 2 hours. The client wants a copy to archive on their PC, which has Premiere Pro. I had originally compressed these files to the highest quality H.264, but this resulted in HUGE file sizes that I can't burn onto a data DVD or transfer to the PC due to the FAT32 limitations. I would love some advice on if anyone's done this before and what settings you've used - it needs to look really good so that if needed, this video could be edited more in the future. Thanks for the advice!

I need some advice on replacing my ipod touch 4th generation screen. The silver plate won't go back into it's original place and i can't put the screws back in. I really need help i don't want my ipod to be broken!!!

I started to replace my ipod 4g screen but the silver plate that goes on top of the battery won't go back into place. It's not lining up with the screw holes so i can't finish the repair. Please I'm begging you all to help me with some advice and tips!!!!!!!!!!!!!! It will be greatly appreeciated. ASAP

Your best bet is to email the company that sold you the screen for advice. Or you could search on YouTube for repair instructions. Hopefully, you will see where you went wrong. Apple will not do an out-of-warranty replacement on an iPod that has been opened.
