Todd - Wanted to bounce an idea i have for expediting the timeline to a finished file off you

Todd, I wanted to bounce an idea i have for expediting the PrP timeline to a finished file off you. It is the result of dialogs I have had with Wil and some of the folks at AJA that I beta test for. I have the utmost respect for your knowledge and experience with PrP 5.5 and want to know your thoughts.
My goal was to avoid some of the lenthy export times that can happen with certain kinds of productions in PrP. Choosing  Prores as the Preview codec is the first step in my alternative approach.This workflow at this point is theoretical, but feasible. Like I said, if you edit either long form shows or graphic intensive projects, the exporting process can involve hours of time. All my professional life Ive worked in client oriented sessions. At the end of a 2 day edit, if I told a client it was going to take 8 hours to export their video, they probably would run screaming from the edit bay
So the solution is this. Instead of spending all that rendering time, I just play out the timeline through a Kona 3 SDI output that is hooked up to a Ki Pro Mini recorder. If the show is 20 minutes, the dump to the KPM is 20 min. and you get a Prores master when you are done. 90 min. movie? Instead of a 20 hour render, you spend 90 minutes dumping the timeline to the KPM. Its analogous to dumping to tape, a process I did for the last 30 years in about every edit bay I ever worked in. There are some unknowns at this point that need testing. And if involves purchasing the AJA product. But I think its a great alternative to the time intensive export process that PrP is locked into for certain kinds of productions.
What do you think?

A lot of people would like to see progress with adobe products for editing... but keep in mind...its a long road.
Some of it has to do with peripherals and support from others too...
check these links out.. you wont find adobe here. You will see some avid, fcp..and quicktime, pro res...
bottom line... use what works.. the rest is playing and learning

edit: also, believe it or not, some DIT and video and camera "crew" peoples... actually build their own components to do work on movies etc.. sometimes renting that equip to production to use on the production.  Breakout boxes type things, wireless transmitters and recievers for various things...like one video guy I know had a video feed from a camera on helicopter flying above central park to a hand held monitor ( HD ) he was holding... he made it.
pretty cool.  walkie talkies on ground were then able to help pilot get shots while watching thru the lens on ground...( director to pilot etc ).
some stuff will always be mix and match and work with what works... no matter what

  • I have multiple devices that have my iCloud E-mail, I want to disable the E-Mail on some of the devices but keep it on others, I do not have physical access to the ones I want to disable but I do have access to the devices I want to keep receiving mc

    I have multiple devices that have my iCloud E-mail, I want to disable the E-Mail on some of the devices but keep it on others, I do not have physical access to the ones I want to disable but I do have access to the devices I want to keep receiving mail, can I do this with a simple password reset or will that still leave all devices enabled?

    The simple way would be to uncheck 'Mail' in System Preferences (or Settings)>iCloud, but as you would need access to the devices in question to do that you will have to change your password, at http://appleid.apple.com. You will then need to sign out and back on all the devices you want to be able to receive mail, and it's important that you follow this procedure and note the warning:
    Firstly, if you have 'Find My iPhone/iPad/iMac' enabled on any of your devices, turn it off.
    Go to http://appleid.apple.com and click 'Manage your Apple ID'. Sign in with the current ID.
    Where it says 'Password & Security' and gives your current ID email address, click 'edit'.
    Enter your new password and click 'Save changes'.
    Now you will need to go to each of your devices and sign out in System Preferences (or Settings)>iCloud - 'Sign out' on a Mac, 'Delete this account' on an iOS device (this will not delete the account from the server).
    Then sign back in with your new ID. Your iCloud data will disappear from your devices when you sign out, but reappear when you sign back in.
    I re-iterate: before you start, turn off 'Find My Mac' (or whatever) or you will need the services of Support.
    The devices on which you have not changed the password will throw up continual error messages as they attempt to contact iCloud and fail.

  • I just bought a macbook pro and want to use my own iCloud account for my iPhone. How do I sign off of the current account on my iPhone and sign in with my own iCloud account?

    I just bought a macbook pro and want to use my own iCloud account for my iPhone. How do I sign off of the current account on my iPhone and sign in with my own iCloud account i set up my mac?

    On your phone, Go to "Settings", "iCloud", scroll to the bottom and "sign out."  Assuming you have the the account password/security info of the current account, it will delete everything iCloud related upon your approval (don't worry, everything will remain in the cloud.)  Once signed out, in the same settings location (under "Settings", "iCloud") sign in using your Apple ID and Password.
    Hope this helps.

  • I have put all the education apps in one file on my iPad is there a way to lock that file when I open it so that my niece can not leave that file

    I have put all the education apps in one file and would like to be able to lock it when it is opened to keep my niece from going other places, does anyone know if this can be done and if so how?

    Maybe you can let her play on your computer where it may be easier to restrict what she can do, provided there's an OS X equivalent. Of course supervision is probably the safest solution until she is old enough to understand she shouldn't do anything that's not permitted. But then she'd probably be old enough not to need to learn her ABSs.

    Boot from your Leopard installation DVD, and use the menus to reset your password.
    NOTE:  I said your Leopard DVD, because you are posting to the Leopard forum.  If you are really using Mountain Lion, then you would boot via your Recovery partition (boot holding Command-R), then reset your password.

  • Windows cannot access the specified device, path, or file. You may not have the appropriate permissions to access the item.

    Hi, i'm a Windows 7 user of HP Pavilion dm4.
    It has been weeks since iTunes works properly on my computer. I'm here to seek help from professionals or people who had encountered it before. Whenever I double-click on iTunes, it prompt me a message "Windows cannot access the specified device, path, or file. You may not have the appropriate permissions to access the item." But another thing is, i'm the only adminstrator on this laptop. If I don't have permission, who has? Sigh.
    I had tried uninstalling and installing iTunes from official website many times but to no avail.

    Hi,
    Also, please make sure your current user is a administrator account and have permission to open the file.
    Right-click the file or folder, and then click Properties.
    Click the Security tab.
    Under Group or User names, click your name to see the permissions you have.
    Have you installed 3rd software in you computer? please turn off them temporarily to check if this issue still occurs.
    Here is an article you can refer to.

    You sould be able to sync both ways.  Check your default calendar on your phone by going to Settings>Mail,Contacts,Calendars>scroll down to the calendars section to Default Calendar.  Check to be sure you have selected your mac calendar as your default (and not, for example, On My iPhone).  Then enter a new event on your phone and sync to confirm that it appears on your mac.
