Urgent advice needed please help!

I need a new laptop asap that is the urgency part over with!
The question is: How well would prem pro cs6 operate on a laptop system with:
Intel i5 4200M dual core 3mb cache 2:6/3.2Ghz processor
8gb ram
nvidia gt740  2gb
Keeping in mind I will mostly be just editing canon dale 1080p footage.
Any help would be greatly appreciated.
budget for laptop is 800 euro. So far the best all rounder for vid editing is: Toshiba s70-a-11h
cheers

That unfortunately is a common misconception with GPU acceleration. GPU acceleration handles certain frame features such as scaling interpolation, and some effects. It current does not handle decoding/encoding with Adobe. That is handled by the CPU. Because the Decoding has to start the process the CPU determines the overall performance/load on the GPU at any point in time. This also means that at any point in time the CPU is not necessarily handling less load. The CPU is just more focused on what it has to do such as decoding/encoding and many effects. All of this means no I dont think the 740M will change the user experience enough to stop the requirement for rending the timeline to playback. It will help but that is all. The CPU is really low for this type of compression. Pro Res or DNxHD would probably work ok on that CPU simply because the compression level is much lower and they are very efficient codecs with regards to performance. I would suggest looking at Cineform if you need to get this laptop and the realtime playback is not good enough for your workflow. Cineform allows you far better performance with more limited specs.
BTW 8GB of ram is really low for GPU acceleration and HD. The biggest current mistake people are making is configuring systems without nearly enough ram to optimally handle the GPU acceleration. GPU acceleration requires a significant amount of ram because of how it works and transits through your system ram. Even if a system has the fastest CPU and best GPU, the performance is going to be poor if the system ram is to low. Most of the power available in that config would not even be utilized.

    Hi,
    We have an application that has 2 database tables that hold presentation information as:
    Table :- screens_info
    Contents of a record :- what is the background color , title , link colors etc. for a screen in the application
    Table :- tables_info
    Contents of a record :- what is the format of a column of a table that needs to be displayed such as heading , data-type , textbox/listbox etc. , needs to be presented in presentable version , width
    I was thinking for a java solution and use XML instead of database presentation tables. There will be multiple XSL and XML for this presentation info.
    I need to justify this approach to my colleagues.
    Here are some points:
    FOR -->
    1. Database is not a good way for storing presentation info. whereas XML is
    2. Later on we can change it easily if required as well as talk more effectively with other applications ( which is our need in near future )
    3. For each screen load and reload , we need not access database presentation tables. Improves performance
    Against -->
    1. It's fine for saying not to store the data in database , but ultimately we have to access the XML and the files etc.
    2. I am planning to use XSQL servlet from Oracle that basically will handle the query execution part and return a proper output as I am going to specify with a stylesheet
    This poses a danger in case tomorrow we plan to deal with some other database than Oracle. So instead of that I can go for java beans and XMl parsers.
    I am not able to exactly specify the advantages of storing presentation info. in XML.
    Please guide me and correct if I am wrong. I badly need help on this decision.
    Thanks
    -kg

    Hi Steve,
    That's a good point.
    Related question is as I am going to use XSQL servlet, if we shift tomorrow some other database than oracle , XSQL servlet is of no use I guess and I should go for parsing and all by myself. Isn't it?
    But can you tell me the major advantages of using XML in my case?
    Thanks-
    Kirti

    Hi
    That screen grab helps a lot. There’s a much easier way of doing what you’re doing.
    Remove all your tabs and set the text in justified paragraphs.
    I’ve typed in dummy text in the example I made below, but after “19.1” put in a space and put your blinking cursor after the space and before the ’N’ of ‘Notices'.
    Then hold down the Command key and hit Backspace (on Mac at least - it’s the key between the Inverted commas/ apostrophe key and the return key).
    The text will jump into place the way you want it to.
    Hope that helps
    Paul
    PS You can set a tab, instead of using a space, in the description I gave above. So, after 19.1 or 19.2 or 19.185 etc etc insert a tab, then hit the Command Backspace after every paragraph number and they'll all line up exactly together. You'll find that editing text within the paragraphs
    after you've set it will be LOADS easier this way.
    You can put the tab anywhere you want it to be using 'Command-ShiftT' and putting a 'left align' tab just after the number. Just type the Command Backspace after the paragraph number and it'll work

    As ckuan said, there's no way to mark messages as urgent from the phone. So, either your carrier is doing something and you'll need to contact them or it't something on the other end. Is it just one person who's seeing your texts as urgent? Or everyone?

  • How to implement drop down list in WDP Abap....very urgent...please help me

    Hi Gurus,

Please note that it is in WDP Abap interactive forms. We are using NW2004S, ECC6.0.

    Hello,
    you have to use ZCI form to use DDLB in WD-ABA. The content of the DDLB has to be present at rendering time, there is no dinamic call when you click the "dropdown".
    The attribut you map to the DDLB has to be an element with a value-set, and the value set has to contain the text / value pairs.
    >> this will be displayed when you click the dropdown.
    Best regards,

  • Help needed urgently .. Please help...

    I am using JTable in my project where i am overriding the default editor to my own custom editor.
    The problem is, when i am using tab key or mouse click, the cursor does not immediately move the next/clicked editable cell. I have to press the tab key twice to move to the next cell. After debugging i saw that the focus goes from the cell editor to the table and then on the second click to the next editor.
    My project requires a single click/single tab key pressed to make the cells editable.
    Please help..
    Thanks in advance..
    Preeti.

    Hi!
    I really have to get this Tab thing working.
    This is what I have tried, and it works partially.
    public boolean isManagingFocus()
    return true;
    public boolean isFocusCycleRoot()
    return true;
    * Captures tabs and moves focus to the next or previous cell, depending
    * on whether the <Shift> key was also pressed (i.e. tab or back tab).
    public void processComponentKeyEvent(KeyEvent e)
    if ( (e.getID() == KeyEvent.KEY_TYPED) && (e.toString().toLowerCase().indexOf(",tab") >= 0) )
    if (e.isShiftDown())
    tabToNextEditableCell(BACKWARD);
    else
    tabToNextEditableCell(FORWARD); // tab
    e.consume();
    else
    super.processComponentKeyEvent(e);
    * Sets editing focus onto next editable cell.
    * When moving forward, traverses cells from left to right then top to
    * bottom
    * @param direction FORWARD or BACKWARD
    private void tabToNextEditableCell(int direction)
    int x = getSelectedRow();
    int y = getSelectedColumn();
    //Added
    clearSelection();
    if ( direction == FORWARD && x < getRowCount() )
    editCellAt(x+1, ATTRIBUTE_VALUE_COL);
    else if (direction == BACKWARD && x >0)
    editCellAt(x-1, ATTRIBUTE_VALUE_COL);
    Let me describe what is happening..
    When I click tab, it moves 2 rows down, The table still highlights the next cell, but since it is not editable, I cant do anything, when I click Tab it moves to the next editable cell, which means that if the current cell is editable the table highlight moves to the next cell (which is not editable), and on the next tab it starts editing the cell.
    I dont know if I made too much sense... but I reallly need help with this.

  • Very Urgent...Please Help..Invoking Windows Applications

    I capture the Windows Desktop screen and saved it as a .jpg file. I then display the .jpg file on frame ( whose size is that of the screen ). Now if i click on the frame, the corresponding Window's application should be invoked ( i.e if I click on the frame where the Start Menu is shown, then the Start Menu should be opened ). Please help me with the code for this. I will be forever indebted to the person who can help me. Iam in very urgent need of this help

    Not so easy.A JPG file is a compressed map of a "picture",nothing more. So , You have to get a reference to an object of this map - You can't save to a simple file (JPG) and expect to do what you want to do.Think something else , not a simple snapshot.In Win98 you have a directory "Desktop" where are all of your icons , in Win2000 you have to search in "Documents and settings\User_name\" or something like this to find the same directory and get all icons.Therefrom look for "Properties" and find the path to execute the exe file.It must be something like this I think.Hope have been helpfull.

  • DropBox v TimeCapsule (advice needed, pls help)

    Hi everyone,
    I need advice on how to set up my home system in terms of using Dropbox, Hard drive usage and home networking.
    Please bear with me while i explain my situation. I run my own Graphic Design business from a home office, I have an 27" iMac and i have a 13" Alu Late 2008 Macbook which i use for my work. I mainly work on my iMac most of the time and then use my macbook in evenings (in front of TV) and when out of the house/office. My iMac has a 1TB hard drive and my Macbook has a 160GB hard drive. I also have a 3TB Lacie external hard drive storing all of my files.
    I have a Pro Dropbox account so i have just over a 1TB of storage there too. My plan was to use the Dropbox as my main file storage so it syncs all the files on bot macs and i don't have to waste time dragging files to different backups (i can also use files remotely when i am on my Macbook out of the office or downstairs etc), get a program like Crash Plan to make a backup of everything and then have a physical copy on my Lacie drive just to ensure i am safe every which way.
    The problem i have is that my macbook's hard drive is only 160gb and as i use a lot of large files my dropbox just eats up my hard drive and i can't use all the files i have on my dropbox. I have tried to think of lots of ways around syncing but the way Dropbox works is exactly what i want to do. I have considered changing my plan and buying a TimeCapsule and use that as a home network then use Dropbox if i need anything out of the house. So i suppose my questions are:
    Do i buy a TC and use that for my home network to save on hard drive space and mean i can work in any room but still sync?
    Or, do i buy a new 1TB hard drive for my 2008 macbook so Dropbox can save on there and sync files?
    Or, buy a new macbook pro (only problem is the new ones use a flash drive which won't hold the dropbox), i can really afford this option either at the moment?
    Please help me out guys as i need things to just work as i am pretty busy and can't decide which to do to help me out...any suggestions welcome.

    Once you boot a computer from SSD you will never go back to mechanical disks ... at least for boot.
    Buy the biggest you can afford.. 500GB SSD are now around $270 here.. you don't need the best.. buy the samsung 840 evo. It might not last as long as the more expensive pro series but that does mean much for a 2008 laptop. You are stretching it already.
    I have a 256GB SSD in a 2011 MBP 15" with a high res screen I got on ebay cheap. It is a great machine.. or was until i put Mavericks on it.. I will take it back to Mountain Lion when I get a chance. I run an i7 mini also 2011 with the small video card they had..
    I got it cheap from ebay.. of course.. It has a 256GB sandisk drive.
      Media Name: SanDisk SDSSDH2256G Media
    I just got another one of these with the original 750GB hard disk and it feels so so slow.. you end up totally spoiled.. everything opens and closes instantly in the mini with SSD and the other one is so so slow. It is getting the new 500GB SSD.
    I have done a few of these now for friends.. it does end up costing more than a current model mini.. but other than missing USB3 which is a pity.. they are a great little computer. And with SSD only near totally silent.. it occasionally spins the fan up if it has been running hard for a while. I am getting old and grumpy and noisy rattling computer fans are more than I can stand.
    I have done some research into the Seagate SSHD and it seems that it isn't ideal for people looking to crunch larger files which would probably be me
    Yes, I warned you the SSHD is not much good for very large files.. Even so a modern 7200rpm drive should work a lot better.
    Note the DVD drive will be sata 1 so yes the SSD should replace the current hdd.

  • !!!Very Urgent-Production Issue -Please help

    Hello IDMers,
    We are facing an issue in production, we updated the AD Process form yesterday. Two fields- Employee Type and Employee ID field in AD User Process form got refreshed for all existing users. Those two fields are empty now for all users.
    But these fields have appropriate value in the Xellerate User Table for all users. Now I need to some how populate the Employee Type and Employee ID field for all employees from User Table to AD Process form.
    for example: Consider an Employee called Peter- His emp type is Full Time and Emp ID is 100; which i have it in OIM User Table, but this user is provisioned with AD and now i will have to update his AD Process form so that these two fields are populated. I need to do this for all users in OIM. I guess the prepop adapter triggers only when the form is created for the first time. Please suggest me some ideas.
    Is there a easy way to do this task?
    What my thinking is, I need to have a scheduled task that basically loops through all users and updates their employee type and id field in AD User Form from Xellerate User Table.
    Please help me with this as it is highly important.
    Thanks again every one for your support all the while.
    Regards,
    ~VSN

    hey,
    i was doing lots of migration from one OIM box to another during our last release. I guess something would have gone wrong while doing an import/export from one OIM system to another.
    What I learned was while doing an import the vulnerable object is AD USER (or any resource of OIM) Object (both Process form and process definition), because those are the two objects which you need to import fully no matter how big a change you have done.
    So when you do an import watch out for USER DEFINED FIELDS in the process form because for me the two fields which disappeared were user defined/custom created by me. So make sure you export the latest version;even if you didnt make any changes to them better create a new version copy of the form and then export it.
    Hope that helps.

  • Urgent!! Please help me burn to dual layer dvd!!

    I've done a wedding video and I need to burn it to a dual dvd, using DVD Studio Pro!!
    I've purchased Verbatim +R DL 2.4X
    I've never had a problem burning signle layer dvds.
    When I look at my system profile it says that I can burn dual dvds...

    DVD-Write: -R, -RW, +R, +R DL, +RW
    Write Strategies: CD-TAO, CD-SAO, CD-Raw, DVD-DAO
    Media: Insert media and refresh to show available burn speeds
    When I try to burn my DVD I get an error that says:
    "The recording device reported the hardware error: Unknown device error. (0x44, 0x90.)"
    Please Help!!

    I'm not familiar with that specific error but I would recommend using Toast to burn your disc if you have it. I have found much more success using that over DVDSP.
    Another option would be to use Finder. Put in your blank disc, in Finder choose New Burn Folder, put your files in that window and burn.
    Third, you could use Disk Utility to burn as well.
    I hope this helps.

  • VERY URGENT IPHOTO QUESTION PLEASE HELP!!!

    Good day. i know this is an ihpoto question which should be posted in the iphoto section- but due to its urgency i really need all the help i need.- I would like to create a slide show presentation with music attached to it. i tried it once with a few pistures and it worked. now, i have around 3 hundred pictures and would like to create a slide show but unfortunately the same music keeps on playing over and over again. once the 1st music is done and there are still pictures to be shown, can i use another music title? how do i do this? please help....

    I always create a playlist in iTunes when I'm making an iPhoto slide show. You can select the playlist to play. I generally try to figure out how long I really want the slide show to last, and then make the playlist in iTunes. You haven't told us which version of iPhoto you're using, but the more recent versions have an option to time the slideshow to the length of the music rather than playing the music over again. Exactly which versions of iTunes and iPhoto do you have?
