System info for editing?

Tired of Window PCs, looking to buy an Apple System. I would like to do some video editing but want to make sure I get a powerful enough system from the start. How does the iMac handle HD video editing or should I look a better, faster computer?

Here's a link with some benchmarks for Final Cut Pro X. There you can see the fastest iMac keeps up pretty well with the fastest Mac Pro. You can also see the fastest i7 iMac is quite a bit faster than an i5 Mac Mini. Note that the fast iMac also has the fastest graphics card.
If you do plan on editing video, I would highly recomend no less than 8 GB of RAM, more if you can afford it. You can get much cheaper RAM from OWC, as I do.

  • Get Operating System info for remote computer?

    I trying to figure out how to pass credentials to this command to get operating system of a remote computer.
    get-wmiObject win32_operatingsystem -Credential domain\username
    Anyone know how to include the password as well?  You can see in my picture below, it prompts.  If I enter the password in the prompt, the command works fine.
    Any suggestions?  Thanks

    Hi Romatio,
    where there is a will, there is a script:
    $pwd = ConvertTo-SecureString "password" -AsPlainText -Force
    $user = "Domain\User"
    $cred = New-Object System.Management.Automation.PSCredential($user, $pwd)
    Make sure you store the script securely though, the password is readable in plain text after all.
    Cheers,
    Fred
    Edit: Just in case: Use the $cred variable then for the -Credential Parameter
    There's no place like 127.0.0.1
    well u can store password this way

  • System Setup for editing / motion graphics and color-correcting

    I am looking to add a second monitor for previewing in FCP as well as color-correction. I've looked into a JVC LCD 20" Production monitor with SDI, etc. coupled with a Blackmagic Decklink HD card. But that combo costs over $3500. Is there a lower-cost solution to this? A second Apple Cinema Display? Or some other recommendation? And would I need a Blackmagic or AJA card to properly monitor?
    Any recommendations/brands/costs would be appreciated.
    The bulk of the footage I edit with is shot in XDCAM-EX format (EX3).
    I currently run a Dual 2.3 PPC G5, but will be upgrading shortly to a Dual 2.8 Quad Core.
    Thanks.

    You want us to do all of the research and cost breakdown for you? Uh...no.
    But I will recommend a low cost alternative. Matrox MXO and Apple Cinema Display (which Apple as discontinued).

  • Logical System Name for Portal

    Hi all,
    I am busy documenting System Info for a newly installed Portal (EP6) including values such as SID, Sys No, etc.
    I would like to know if a Portal has a Logical System Name.
    As far as I know, it does not, but I would like to confirm.
    Regards
    Sunil

    Hi,
    As per the naming conventions its defined as <SID>CLNT<Client no>.
    Then a system with SID = J2E and client = 000 will have a logical system name J2ECLNT000.
    Hope this helps.

  • I can no longer edit the info for my songs, movies and tv shows.  This occurred since I loaded Windows 7 Pro on my C drive, and then fownloaded ITunes 10.  Why will the program not allow me to access the track info to edit it?

    Ah yes school boy error there out of frustration and discontent..
    My issue is with music/apps/films etc not downloading from iTunes / App Store.
    They initially fail and message is displayed stating unable to download / purchase at this time, yet if I retry it says I've already purchased (?) or alternatively I go to the purchased section and there they are waiting with the cloud symbol..
    However some items get frozen in the download window and cannot be retried or deleted. Message appears stating to tap to retry, but even if you stole every bath and sink in the uk you'd still not have enough taps.
    I post here as the iTunes guys are useless in there 'help' and have only advised posting here or phoning apple, at my expense, to explain a problem that could be rectified by forwarding my original email to a techie. However the tech team apparently don't have an email address as they're from ye olde Middle Ages..!
    Anyways I digress.
    So I tried sync to pc, but instead of showing the file as ready to listen/use/view, the iCloud symbol shows and I'm back to square one as the item is unable to download..
    At frustration station waiting for a train from pain...
    All my software is up to date, and had all worked fine prior to the last big iOS update that resulted in all the changes in display and dismay.
    Answers in a postcard :-)
    Much love

    if my external hard drive is not connected to either of my machines, and I download something onto my iMac and then something different onto my Macbook, where are my machines going to be storing the new downloaded media
    when the drive is not connected, +iTunes media folder location+ will default back to <MacintoshHD>/users/<yourname>/music/iTunes/iTunes music (or media)
    and when I next connect the external hard drive how will I easily get the newly downloaded media onto the external HD
    you'd have to point +iTunes media folder location+ back to the external via preferences > advanced > iTunes media folder location, then file > library, organize library > consolidate files
    and essentially, to have it easily readable on both machines?
    in that case it might be best to copy the entire iTunes folder to the external. then, on each machine, launch iTunes while pressing option on your keyboard. when prompted, click on +choose library+ and navigate to the iTunes folder on the external.
    note only one iTunes can access the iTunes library @ a time !
    also, make sure the external is mounted on either machine before launching iTunes.

  • Why can't I install Firefox for Android on my Motorola Defy Mini? According to Antutu Benchmark system info, it has a ARM v7 CPU, so it should be compatible...

    When I try to install Firefox for Android on my Motorola Defy Mini (XT320), Google Play Store tells me that my device is not compatible with Firefox for Android,so I cannot install it; according to Antutu Benchmark system info, the Motorola Defy Mini has an Arm v7 CPU installed, so it should be compatible with Firefox for Android...

    Turns out it was a permissions issue, the files created by the certutil in the defaults folder got root only permissions given to them. I opened them up and it's working fine.

  • How to use same form for Editing info and creating info.

    Hi all,
    Here my aim is to select the user from list and edit the user info. There is one more option to create the new user.
    Currently I am using two separate input forms one for Editing and one more creating new user.
    Can anyone tel me, how to use the same form for both editing and creating.
    Thanks,
    Ramesh Biradar

    Hi Ramesh,
    I'll make some assumptions about how you're going about this, and then give you a possible solution:
    I assume that you have a table with selection on one page. To edit an item, you wish to select it's radio button and click an edit button to take you to another page with the item filled in to edit it. To create a new item, you'd like to click a "new" button and go to the same page.
    If this is correct, here's the basic steps:
    1). Assuming you have both the list and edit pages already created, make sure you have a JSF navigation case defined going from the list page to the edit page. I'll call this navigation case "goToEditPage" for this discussion.
    2). To make the edit button, drag a command button from the component palette and drop it on the af:TableSelectOne (the column in your table containing the radio buttons for selection).
    3). Set the action property on this command button to "goToEditPage".
    4). Now, to make the create button, drag a command button from the component palette somewhere on the page. I like to put mine in a panelButtonBar inside the actions facet of an af:Page component.
    5). Now, for the Action property of this command button, bind it to a method in your page's backing bean. The code will look something like this:
    public String performNew()
        BindingContainer bindings = getBindings();
        OperationBinding operationBinding = bindings.getOperationBinding("Create");
        Object result = operationBinding.execute();
        if (!operationBinding.getErrors().isEmpty())
          return null;
        return "goToEditPage";
    }Hope this is helpful, Ramesh.

  • Is it possible to change settings in "Help System info"?

    Is it possible to change Photoshop settings by clicking on Help and then System info? Since there is the possibility to type and the OK-button, I just started wondering.

    All Help > System Info does is to report your system specifications so you can copy and paste them in the forums for troubleshooting purposes.
    You can choose what to highlight and copy, but it does not change anything in your system like editing a configuration file would.

  • Serial Number in System Info is Not Long Enough

    I have deactivated CS5 from Computer A, noting the System Info before deactivating, which included a Serial Number.
    When trying to re-install CS5 on Computer B, the Serial Number is not long enough.
    This CS5 is a student edition.

    did you get the serial number from Help>System Info, where it says "Serial Number"?  because, if so, that's not the serial number.  In fact, it's not even close.  my actual serial number started with 1 while the "serial number" in the System Info started with 9.
    when you deactivated from the old computer, did you check the box to erase the serial number from the computer upon activation?  If not (i.e., the serial number is supposedly still on the old computer), i've heard that if you start a reinstall of CS5 on the old computer, it will fill in the serial number at that screen.  I don't know this for sure because the OS on my old computer literally crashed in an irreparable way immediately after I deactivated CS5.
    If it isn't a student edition (you must not have the box - the box would clearly say so), then the only way to get the serial number is to know the email address that it may have originally been installed under.  Even that may not work,  when I spoke to Adobe support (after waiting 3 hours on my digital phone), I gave then every email address that I could imagine having used and did not find the record of my initial installation.
    Again, good luck
