Thoughts on using a Sony Vaio with CS5 for HD event video projects?

Basically I would need to use my Sony Vaio F12 laptop to edit HD wedding videos on CS5. I wanted some opinions on my equipment so i will be able to edit a long project(about an hour to 2 hours) smoothly with no dropped frames, errors, system crashes, etc. So I would basically i need a setup that can keep up.
Specs: Sony Vaio - Intel Quad Core i7 1.73 Ghz(Mobile version), 6 gig ram, 500 gb 7200 rpm HD, Nvidia GeForce GT 330M(1GB dedicated video memory)
I know I would at least have to use an external HD from the video and audio. I have a 1TB Samsung Story external USB and another 1 TB one that is eSata but am having problems with the esata port on the Sony.
Would this be adequate or would their be some obvious areas that you could see causing problems? I'm thinking the USB external might cause a bottleneck for one.

The assumption for why there is negligible performance gain is incorrect. If they changed the speed of the CPU and had an understanding how CUDA works they would probably have seen that. The GPU can only perform as well as the CPU allows it. What this means is the CPU has to process the threads before sending the appropriate data to the GPU for processing via the System ram. There are many factors that effect CUDA and especially performance with the MPE. The biggest though is the processor. If you set a GPU monitor utility, you can monitor the activity on the GPU while the CPU is at stock speed and then at overclocked. You will see a sizable difference in performance/usage on the GPU and GPU ram based on the speed of the CPU. What this tells you is that the GPU may be the best performing you can get but it will sit more than 90% idle if the CPU is taking to long to process the data it requires. CUDA sends threads to all available CUDA cores and is not limited at all like CPU threading. It literally just throws threads out there to the cores in simple terms. The assumption is incorrect in the link you reference.

Is anyone successfully using Digieffects Camera Mapper with CS5

Hello all,
I greatly want to use Digieffects Camera Mapper with After Effects CS5 in Windows 7..
http://digieffects.com/product/camera_mapper
But it keeps crashing my installation of After Effects.
I'm using the demo CS5 version downloaded from the DigieEffects website. Digieffects support says the demo version works the same as the paid version (except for the watermark.). No problem there -- if I can get the demo version to work then I will buy it.
Digieffects support says it works fine with their Windows 7 CS5 installation of After Effects.
I went so far as to completley reinstall windows and reinstall CS5 master collection. But after all that work I get the same crash.
We are talking about a clean install of Windows 7 and a clean install of the CS5 master collection with nothing else installed on the computer.
And I keep getting the crash.
So my question here, is anyone succesfully using Digieffects Camera Mapper with CS5. Are there any tips that I should know of. Please look at my screen captuers of the steps I take which end up in a crash.
As I said this is a new (just a few hours old) installation of Windows 7 Professional and a new (just a few hours old) installation of CS5 Master Collection. No other plug-ins or programs installed.
Thanks
...Rowby

I'm sorry to say I have not heard from Digieffects regarding Windows 7 CS5 compatibility with Camera Mapper.
It is strange because I've had at least one phone call from them, and then a few weeks ago they said they confirmed there was a problem and their engineer was working on it, and I should expect to receive an update of the plug-in that works with Windows 7 CS5.
Since then I haven't heard a peep, even though I sent them 2 follow up support requests.
In my case I was testing a demo, but Digieffects support said the demo was the same as the non-demo version (except for the demo watermark).
Below is a link to Digieffects' compatibility page which shows that Camera Mapper is compatible with CS5.
http://www.digieffects.com/support/compatibility
Their silence on this issue, after their assurances to me that a fix is eminent, is baffling.
Below is Digieffects support's last communication with me, on October 11.

Rowby,
I think the engineer has this one figured out. Turned out to be a problem in the plugin- I will send you an updated one at some point today as soon as I recieve it from the engineer. Thanks for your patience and help with this one

Anyone using GridIron NucleoPro 3 with cs5/cs6 please?

hello, this is probably digging up bones from the past
however, are there any users using GridIron NucleoPro 3 with cs5/cs6?
just wanting to chitchat about it if possible
thanks in advance, j

I still have one machine configured with CS5 and Nucleo Pro, because it offers some functionality that AE->AME workflow does not.
AME is a great way to background render individual output files, but it lacks the sophistication of the Render Queue when you need to render specifics and multiple files. I have an ongoing job that requires the weekly generation of around 30 categories of an award show. Each category (project) requires the output of two video files and two stills from specific parts of the timeline of one comp. These output parameters, including output formats, locations and in-out points, are stored in the project template's Render Queue. As far as I'm aware, there's no easy way to move all these parameters to AME easily - a great deal of manual interaction would be required to generate each of the 120 output files from 30 projects each week. Whereas, using Nucleo I just hit render and keep working. It's literally a one click workflow.
It's a shame there isn't a "Send After Effects Render Queue to Adobe Madia Encoder" function. I must lodge a feature request.
Nucleo Pro does a great job of background rendering, and I do miss it's availability in later versions of AE. There is also a script available over at AE Scripts that background renders.

Blackberry Link won't load on Sony Vaio with Windows 8.1 x64

I have a Sony Vaio with Windows 8.1 installed. I recently acquire a Porsche device but bb link won't install on my laptop. It gets to a level and a blue error screen pops up. Any suggestions please......

I have the same problem. Same laptop, same Windows OS version and BB Link won't install on my PC. It says the application is not compatible.

Contacts are designed to be synced to a supported application on the computer or a cloud service.
Pictures taken with the device are designed to regularly be copied off the device to a computer as would be done with any digital camera.
If you have failed to use the device as designed it may be too late to recovery anything.
Is the device regularly backed up to a computer via iTunes? If so, the most recent backup (when restored to a replacement iOS device) should contain all contacts and pictures as of when the backup was created.

How to stop the spinning ball/pizza that is stalling repairs to project on imovie 09? on macosx10.5.8 using iomega and superspeed ext h.d. as storage for the events and projects archive of a wedding video that has had audio sync problems on all share form

Recording a movie using a Sony Vaio Motion Eye?

So I have a Sony Vaio VGN-FZ38M, with an in-built motion eye camera. Whenever I try and use this in Premiere it doesn't work; the device is, apparently online. Is there a fix for this? There is another capture program that came with my laptop which I can use, but I'd rather capture it in Premiere because that's what I'm using to edit it.
I am using Premiere Elements 4 on Vista Home Premium 32-bit.
Thanks in advance :)

your camera may be being used by other Sony utility and therefore PRe wont get the handle. Ask SOny for help.

Best strategy for using ACR7 in LR4 with CS5?

Although all my cameras are supported by ACR6, I would like to use the new process 2012 of ACR7. I would like to try LR4 (giving ACR7) but don't really want the expense of upgrading from CS5 to CS6 since I don't need any of the CS6 new facilities. But I would like to try the file organisation facilities of LR4 instead of Bridge (as well as having ACR7 of course).
I read that PSD files exported from LR4/ACR7 are not compatible with CS5. Is this correct? If so, is there a way around this, so that I can do final tweaks in CS5 to a 16bit file processed and output by LR4/ACR7?
Thanks for any advice you can offer.

As far as I've heard, you should get PS CS6 if you plan to use LR4. Full stop.
But, I did hear that there is a 'release candidate' version of ACR6.7 you can get from here: http://blogs.adobe.com/lightroomjournal/2012/03/adobe-camera-raw-6-7-and-dng-converter-6-7 -available-on-adobe-labs.html. This wont show up if you try 'Auto Update' for whatever reasons. Hasn't for me, at least!
There have been no complaints with the compatibility of the ACR6.7 RC with LR4 and PS CS5.

When I open Itunes on my Sony Vaio with windows vista all of the playlists are gone. All music is still there, just no playlists

My ITunes playlists are missing when I open ITunes on my Sony Vaio. The computer has Windows Vista as an operating system. All the music is still in the library but all playlists are gone. Any ideas?

There is some Sony media management software often preinstalled on Vaio systems that causes a conflict with iTunes saving its library database file. See this Apple support article:
http://support.apple.com/kb/TS2715
and Redkeefy's post in this thread:
http://discussions.apple.com/message.jspa?messageID=8537277#8537277
Hope this helps.

Using PSE catalog/organizer with CS5

I have been using PSE 7 for a while and have just transitioned to Photoshop CS5.
I would like to use the catalog from PSE for organizing photos, and PS CS5 for editing.
In the PSE preferences I have tried to notify PSE that I want to use PS CS5 as the supplementary editor. All I get is a message that says I do not need to choose PS as the other editor as PSE already supports using PS from the edit menu and edit toolbar (which I can`t see how that would happen).
It is my guess that PSE catalog/organizer and PS CS5 do not interact, and that I can use both but independently.
Is my guess correct?

Thanks, MTSTUNER. I now see that option in PSE Edit menu. However, when I select it there is a message that Thumbnails are being updated, and a copy of the photo is made in the organizer. PS does not launch, and if I launch PS first, the photo still does does not appear in PS.

Help! Windows Explorer crashes regularly when using "SharePoint" directory synced with OneDrive for Business

We are using SharePoint 2013 and I want to sync document libraries with
OneDrive for Business with my PC running Windows 7.
In general, it works, but my Windows Explorer crashes very often (after a few minutes) when I navigate in the synced directories and open files there (or copy files into them in Windows Explorer).
How can I find out what happens and how to avoid it?
remark:
We are still using Office 2007, so I installed only OneDrive for Business from the Office 2013 DVD and
deactivated all other components like Office 2013 by hand:
(so for example, the shared office feature or MS Info Path etc. were not installed)
Is there a crash log, where I can find more information about the crash?
Does OneDrive maybe need other components to be installed and can I install them without damaging my existing Office 2007 setup?

Did you check your Event Viewer for any errors during the time when Windows Explorer crashed?
Thanks for this hint!
The Log file says the following, so it seems to be WIDCOMM\Bluetooth Software\btncopy.dll
to be responsible for the crashing Windows Explorer

How can I use JavaScript extention functions with Xalan for transforming XML with XSL

While transforming standart XML and XSL files to HTML with this servlet:
package mypackage1;
import javax.servlet.*;
import javax.servlet.http.*;
import java.io.*;
import java.util.*;
import java.net.URL;
import javax.xml.transform.*;
import javax.xml.transform.stream.StreamSource;
import javax.xml.transform.stream.StreamResult;
import org.mozilla.javascript;
public class Servlet2 extends HttpServlet
private static final String CONTENT_TYPE = "text/html; charset=windows-1252";
public void init(ServletConfig config) throws ServletException
super.init(config);
public void doGet(HttpServletRequest request, HttpServletResponse response)throws ServletException, IOException
try
response.setContentType(CONTENT_TYPE);
PrintWriter out = response.getWriter();
TransformerFactory tFactory = TransformerFactory.newInstance();
Source xmlSource = new StreamSource(new FileReader("c:/aaa.xml"));
Source xslSource = new StreamSource(new FileReader("c:/bbb.xsl"));
Transformer transformer = tFactory.newTransformer(xslSource);
transformer.transform (xmlSource, new StreamResult(out));
catch (Exception e)
e.printStackTrace();
everything is going ok,
but when try to use javascript function in XSL file, for example like in this:
<?xml version="1.0"?>
<xsl:stylesheet xmlns:xsl="http://www.w3.org/1999/XSL/Transform" version="1.0"
xmlns:lxslt="http://xml.apache.org/xslt" xmlns:my-ext="ext1"

function getdate() {
var d = new Date();
return d.toUTCString();
</lxslt:script>
</lxslt:component>
<xsl:template match="/">
<p><xsl:copy-of select="my-ext:getdate()"/></p>
</xsl:template>
</xsl:stylesheet>
recieve error-message:
XSL-1000: (Fatal Error) Error while parsing XSL file (Extension function namespace should start with 'http://www.oracle.com/XSL/Transform/java/'.).
What kind of namespace I should specify?

Hello, Paul.
I'm sure you may not use JavaScript as a language for creating XSLT extention functions with Oracle XDK Parser. This is since parser might have JavaScript interpreter to work with JavaScript, but it has not.
If you need to build any XSLT extention functions you must build them as Java class' static methods.
After that, you define the usage of the class by mean of namespace declaration as:
xmlns:your-ns="http://www.oracle.com/XSL/Transform/java/yourpackage.Yourclass"
(Prefix "http://www.oracle.com/XSL/Transform/java/" may differs if you use non-Oracle XML parser)
and use class' static method in XSLT:
<xsl:value-of select="your-ns.staticMethodName(paramsIfAny)"/>
In your case you may wish to use standard Date class:
xmlns:date="http://www.oracle.com/XSL/Transform/java/java.util.Date"
<xsl:value-of select="date:toString(date:new)"/>

CS4 while Adobe fix the problems with CS5 for Mac?

If anyone from Adobe is monitoring this forum, is it possible for customers who have bought PRemiere Pro CS5 to have access to a fully functional copy of Premiere Pro CS4 while we wait for fixes to two serious bugs in the Mac release of CS5?
The problems with not being able to save project files, and the wrong aspect ratio randomly being selected when importing widescreen DV footage - discussed in threads on this forum - make CS5 unusable on a Mac currently.
thanks.

You randomly get a saved Quicktime file with the wrong aspect ratio.
Ah ha...now that I can fix for you ..if you have QT Pro.
BTW: That behavoiur is typical of QT Player and is not actually random.
Method:
Open your mov in QT Pro
Show Movie Properties (Ctrl-J)
Click on Video Track
Click on Visual Settings Tab
Un check the Preserve Aspect Ratio box
(Here is where you now need to do some math to change the 4x3 to 16:9 ratio)
Divide the Vertical Pixel Dimension by 1.78 and enter the result in the Vert Dimension box
Ensure the Preserve Aspect Ratio box is UNCHECKED
Hit Tab key and notice the image in the QT window change.
In the QT Window Menu - File>Save (SAVE is an IMPORTANT STEP)
Here is an example:
QT movie Original is 320x240
Divide 240 by1.78 ( ie. 240/1.78=134)
Bingo!

Using iWeb 09 to create website for showreel and videos

Hello,
I'm an independent film maker and I am looking to set up my own website to show my work on. Seeing how iWeb 09 finally allows you to publish your website to a host via FTP, I wondered if anyone could answer some questions for me - I have googled some stuff but have not come up with any satisfactory answers.
Okay, so basically I want a really simple website - incredibly simple in fact. All I want to do is have live streaming video (like the movie trailers on apples movie trailer website) for my own films. Of course, I want the videos to be of the highest quality (with some HD stuff as well). I have found a web host that offers unlimited web-space and bandwidth/traffic for a very cheap price each month, so is it simply a case of dragging a QT movie file into iWeb 09, publish it via FTP, and hey presto, people can view my films in high quality on the web? Is it really that simple or is there a catch?
Also, I may want to show some videos encoded with Flash, not QT. Is that still possible using iWeb 09?
Many, many thanks if you can clear up these queries for me, as I cannot seem to find any clear info anywhere else.
George
P.S. I will be using FCP, not iMovie, to create and export films. Since they can both export QT files, I presume this will not be a problem?

George ~ Yes, there's a catch. Your videos will become part of iWeb's Domain file which may make it slow to open in iWeb, make backups and re-publish everything (if needed). Better to upload your videos separately to your server and embed them into your iWeb site.
iWeb '09 makes this easy if you upload your videos to YouTube: iWeb '09 has a new YouTube widget to embed your videos into your iWeb page:
http://www.apple.com/ilife/iweb/#widgets
...For high definition video, YouTube was recently ranked the best of several video sites:
Which HD video Web service is the best?
See also this article:
YouTube officially enables HQ in embedded videos
Also, I may want to show some videos encoded with Flash, not QT. Is that still possible using iWeb 09?
If you're concerned that some PC users won't have QT and won't want to install it, I think if you go the embedded YouTube route, almost all PC or Mac users will be able to view your videos — because "videos on YouTube are streamed through an Adobe Flash player."
If you'd prefer to use Flash in iWeb, this article may help:
