Unique audio/video settings per user account?

I have a rather strange question...
I recently purchased my first mac and love it so far, but being a windows user for 15 years is taking some getting used to.
My situation:
(VIDEO) I currently have a mac mini hooked up to a monitor utilizing the mini-port to DVI. Secondly I am using the HDMI port out to an HDTV.
(AUDIO) I am using the headphone out to my DVI monitor and my HDMI obviously runs through the HDMI cable.
I have setup 3 user accounts...mine, my wife's, and one for a "media center".
My question:
Is there any way that I can setup the "media center" user account to be the only account that will recognize only the HDMI port for video/audio? Since I have my mac in a different room from my HDTV, I do not want to be going back and forth every time I wish to utilize my "media center" account.
I hope my issue is clear...thanks in advance for any help!
MK

ProRes ships with Final Cut Pro 6 - it does not come with 5.
You can download the decoder separately but I don't know how well that will work on older versions of FCP:

  • Can't open audio/video settings, losing audio also

    Hi folks
    Get a general error (34) when I go to access audio video settings. I tried trashing prefs per the advice in another thread, but still get the error.
    When editing, audio seems to be working fine as long as I don't send it out to my monitor. Then the audio drops out completely. Audio and video playback is set to firewire ntsc, and audio follows video. On audio, the rest of the options are grayed out, so I was trying to get into the av settings to see what's going on.
    The setup has been working fine before but I don't recall if I changed any settings. Also it's FCP HD 4.5. Thanks

    I selected 'none' for video playback and it let me into the av settings. The only option not grayed was 'built in audio," so I selected that. Then back in my sequence, I chose video playback 'firewire ntsc." It then let me select audio settings and I chose built in audio." Then it worked.
    Hope this helps someone with the same issue in the future.

  • CUCILYNC with Lync Audio/video settings enabled supported ?

    Hello,
    for one of my customer I want to install CUCILYNC and Cisco Telephony for a part of the users.
    Actually this customer user LYNC for IM/Presence and use the Audio/Video feature for making audio and video calls and conference calls.
    In the CUCILYNC configuration guide, Cisco recommends to edit all the CUCILYNC users in the LYNC server to change Telephony settings to Audio/Video disabled (Recommended).
    Is it possible to keep this audio/video settings to enable and to have 2 ways to make Video and audio calls : with Cisco capabilitites and with Lync capabilities.
    does it work ? If yes, how does it appear on the end-user client ?
    is it supported by Cisco ? And Microsoft ?
    has anyone making this kind of configuration before ?
    Thanks in advance for your help,
    Regards,
    Baptiste Croizer

    Yes it works, it's just confusing to users as both buttons are lit up. If you set the registry key to IM only all of the Enterprise Voice-related buttons are greyed out.
    Each vendor supports only their pieces.

  • Full screen preview blanked out in from options in audio video settings?

    Hi all,
    Am running FCP6 and have lost the option to preview fullscreen in the audio video settings menu. It is literally missing, as an option, though the space the option inhabited is still there. Only options I have are to preview via firewire to my CRT monitor. I have tried to refresh AV devices and all frames, but doesn't seems to help/work.
    Any suggestions?
    Many thanks,
    -Tom

    Hi David and thanks for your suggestion. I gave it a try and no luck. Its just the same. I have no options in video playback at all unless I connect my deck and then I have only the via firewire options, the deck provides. BTW, I know its the wrong forum, but I have the same blanking out situation in the output filed in MOTION.
    Any more suggestions would be greatly appreciated.
    Thanks,
    -Tom

  • Audio/Video settings

    Requesting help on settings in FCP 7. I am bringing in footage from a Sony Z5u in 1080i, from a cf card with a fire wire reader. I plan to burn my edited project to DVDSD after sending to compressor. What should my settings be in Audio/Video settings tab in FCP for best results? No luck burning a presentable DVD so I'm starting from scratch trying to figure out what could be wrong. Any help appreciated. Thanks, John

    It's not the same, the issue is you're in NTSC. Standard def in NTSC is 29.97 fps.
    the "look" of the footage is different. there are no pulldown frames in 30 F.
    in 24F DV the pulldown is 2:3:2:3 to make up the frames required to run at 29.97 fps
    There are HD formats in NTSC which support 23.98 fps just no SD formats
    there are settings in FCP that will allow you to edit in 23.98fps Standard def but when it goes to tape a pulldown is inserted to bring the frame rate to 29.97
    The reason to offline edit in 23.98 DV is a saving in disk space and lower CPU demand than editing the full resolution of 4K, HD etc.
    The reason to edit in DV and stay there ie file based for compressions etc is you have progressive frames throughout the piece and that can look better on progressive scan monitors like a computer.

  • Canon XL2 & Audio/Video Settings

    HELP! I have looked some of the previous threads on this issue and tried changing settings, but am still having a mismatch between what voices are saying and lips moving after I capture and then play in canvas.
    I shot at 16x9, 24p 2:3.
    What are the best audio/video settings to use to be able to capture/edit and ultimately export to DVD while preventing this problem???
    I have latest version of final cut pro.

    Usually audio desyncronization (is this a word?) comes from the audio being recorded at 32khz and FCP looking for 48khz files. When you play back, FCP is madly trying to fix the missing 16khz and doing a bad job of it. the Audio often just wanders off into it's own world.
    Does it start in sync and drift or is it off the whole time?

    By the way - "latest version" is not a useful statement. What are the exact versions of FCP, QT and OSX you are running?

  • Easy Setup and Audio Video Settings (FCP7)

    Hello,
    I am a newbie editor in fcp 7. in fact, I´m newbie on pos production. I´ve been working and editing less than a year (Premiere Pro)
    Now I am using FCP7 (and FCPX) but my question is...in fcp7, why do I need Audio/Video Settings and Easy Setup if
    final cut has open format sequences?
    thx

    Well, strictly speaking on FCP 7 and earlier (since this particular forum is for older FCP...not FCX)...yes, you do.  You need to choose the Easy Setup that matches the footage you are using.  If you have multiple formats, try to convert the footage to a single format.  Don't belive this Apple marketting about "open format sequences."
    There are some exceptions...like you can have ProRes footage, and a ProRes sequence...and also edit in HDV or XDCAM footage in that. IN fact, it's best to edit HDV and XDCAM as ProRes.  Don't have an XDCAM sequence setting and edit ProRes into that...XDCAM is inferior to ProRes.
    Also...don't edit may formats natively.  Meaning H.264, MP4, AVCHD...there are many formats that FCP just doesn't work with properly. FCX will even ask to "optimize" the media...meaning convert to ProRes.  FCP 7 is a different beast than Adobe Premiere Pro. PPro will allow you to edit formats natively...it's designed to do that. FCP 7 is not....and that's a pretty important difference to know. FCP 7 wants media to be in FCP editing codecs before you start...such as ProRes.

    This is the quick and dirty way of doing it. Read the manuals (FCP, Compressor, DVD Studio Pro) for more information.
    Control-click on the sequence name in your Browser in FCP, and select Export > Using Compressor. The sequence name will then show up in Compressor. Select the sequence name that just showed up, and then on the top of the screen select one of the DVD:xxxxxx settings for your project. I would recommend the Best Quality options. You will see 90, 120, 150 minute options. Pick the lowest that you can without it being shorter than your sequence. For example, if your sequence is 92 min, select the 120 min option. You will need an MPEG setting as well as the Dolby setting. Once you have selected your presets, set their destination - use Desktop for now. When you have selected the Settings and Destination for the sequence, Click "Submit" on the lower right of the screen. Batch Monitor will pop up, telling you the progress. When the job has completed, open up DVD Studio Pro.
    Once DVDSP loads, you will see on the left side of the screen two large icons in the Graphical tab window. Select each one, control-click on it, and select Delete. Now click File > Import > Asset and choose each one of the files you encoded to your desktop. You should have an MPEG and a Dolby file. They will then show up in the lower left of your screen in the Assets tab once you have imported them. Select both at the same time, then simply drag them to the open space in the Graphical tab. It will create an icon like the ones you deleted. Control-click on the new icon, and select First Play. Put in a blank DVD, and then go to File > Burn. Once this is done burning you will end up with a DVD that you just put in your player and it will automatically play.
    Like I said, this is quick and dirty. Read the manuals, play with different settings, and get comfortable with each application.

  • Can audio/video settings be in HD and Sequence in SD?

    Is it a problem to have your audio/video settings set for HD, and your seqence set for SD?
    Is audio/video setting just for new projects? (I think my current project is SD, which is what I want), and I'd like to create a new project in HD.
    When my SD project is open, sequences are SD, and audio/video is HD. If the sequence is SD, doesn't that mean that the media files rendered on it are also SD- regardless of what the audio/video settings are?

    Umm, in a word, how much do you want to render?
    You do know that your clip properties must match your sequence properties otherwise you're in for a world of rendering.
    Reading a lot of these posts around here, there's a common conception that it's just a matter of rendering to create high definition video out of standard definition and going back the other way. I'm not sure where this came from other than a lack of understanding about video formats and then subsets of formats within those formats, namely ITU-R 709 (high definition video) and ITU-R 601 (standard definition video).
    When you cross formats, you're crossing more than just an aspect ratio and a couple of letters. There's the matter of gamma differences, color space differences, pixel aspect ratio differences and pixel count differences. When you up or down convert video, even on horrendously expensive hardware converters, where are all those extra pixels going or coming from?
    GU, if you don't know what video format your current sequence is in now, I would highly suggest some more self-education before you dive into high definition. You can start [here|http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Video_formats] and [here|http://electronics.howstuffworks.com/tv.htm] or perhaps I'm just getting crotchety in my middle age and expect people do to things properly. These tools are cheap, TV is easy, ain't it?
    Good luck with your project. Short answer from me is no, do not travel down your current path, learn how to do things the right way.

  • Per user accounting

    Hello,
      we have an asr1k as bras. We would like to implement per user accounting, I mean some users' accounting data will be send to the server to draw a nice traffic graph. Certainly we won't allow it for all users.
      Is any feature supported by asr1k like this?

  • GPO Proxy Settings per User

    I've spent days researching this but haven't found a situation quite like it. I have multiple users in a SBS environment. We use roaming profiles exclusively. I have 2 users (user A and user B) in the same OU "No Internet" that have dummy proxy
    settings to prevent them from using the internet except for specifically allowed sites.  These users log in to two different workstations (PC1 and PC2).  The computers are in the same OU, "Windows7Desktops". 
    When User A logs in to PC1, the proxy settings are correctly applied.  When User A logs in to PC2, the proxy settings do not apply.  User B's proxy settings also apply on PC1, but not on PC2.
    The workstations are identical builds, the same software is installed on each, both are running the same version of Windows 7 SP1. 
    I'm at a loss!  My gut feeling is that there is a setting in the registry for the PCs that is different, but I've been unable to locate it.  Any suggestions would be appreciated.

    Hi DeannaM,
    Would you please provide a general description for that how you configure the Proxy setting in Group Policy?
    Did you mean that configure the proxy settings under User Configuration, and then link the GPO to a computer-based OU? If I misunderstand, or any details and updates, please feel free to let me know.
    Based on your description, this issue seems that just occurred when user login PC2. Please use a user account
    to login PC2, then run
    gpresult command to collect group policy information and check.
    By the way, would you please confirm whether PC2 was also belonged to another computer-based OU, or just belong
    to this one OU? Please pay attention to
    loopback mode. Just my guess.
    Hope this helps.
    Best regards,
    Justin Gu

  • Trasnferring MAIL settings between User accounts

    I have 2 user accounts on my Powerbook, PERSONAL and WORK.
    I use Mail in my personal account, but would like to transfer the settings and the messages into the work account to avoid switching the accounts just to check the delivery of mail.
    How can I transfer the account settings and the messages?
    Patrick

    Patrick,
    As you have framed the question, I don't think this can be done. While you can always "clone" an entire Mail setup, you can add a setup to one existing quite so easily.
    I think you will need to set the personal account up, and then Import your account folder mailboxes in the Work User account. The import can run into permission problems, unless you copy first to an external drive, the Shared folder or a CD or DVD. Once you import the personal account Inbox and Sent, let's say, then you can transfer their message content into those mailboxes that resulted when you set up the account in the Work User account.
    In any User folder the Mail folder is located at ~/Library, and in this Mail folder you will find one account folder for each account you have.
    Ask any questions, as needed.
