Viewing multiple camera angles at the same time
Hello -
Basic question, that I'm sure has been answered many times before - so apologies for the repeat!
I have been asked to take over editing some shows and gigs, which are filmed from up to four different camera angles. Each operator starts their camera, then runs it for the whole performance - so you end up with four long clips of video. The guy I am taking over from tells me that once you've got the four clips correctly aligned, it's actually a relatively simple job IF you can view all four clips at the same time. I basically need to be able to watch the whole show from start to finish, watching all four angles at the same time and doing a rough edit as I go, then go back and neaten things up.
1. Will Final Cut Express do this?
2. If the program can do it, am I right in thinking my iMac might be a bit underpowered?
As you can probably tell, I'm not at all down with the lingo on video editing, so I hope my question makes sense!
Thanks in advance,
Joe
Hi
A VERY Good Answer from Tom.
I do this in a slightly different way.
Videos on one track each
Re-sized to 25% as Tom describes
Moved to sync.
Then I don't use the blade tool - BUT adjust transparicy. So that needed angle get 100%
rest goes to 0%
Finalicing by re-sizing all back to 100%
Done
BUT if You can finance it - THIS is much easier to be done in FCP when getting the hang of
how it works here. Much more like a Real-Time editing situation - Click on the view You like
You don't even need to be very excat - Easily fixed with "roll tool" (I think it's named)
If Time is of essence and mony not - FinalCut Pro about 10 times faser to me
If other way around ==> FCE

How do I view multiple inbox folders at the same time in Mail?
I want to configure Mail to show me multiple inbox folders at the same time. I want to be able to split the screen and show in the top section unread messages, then messages I've marked with label A, then messsges I've marked with label B, then everything else in my inbox (like using the multiple inbox feature in Gmail). Is this possible?
Just figured it out - I can select multiple messages as you suggested when I am not in full screen mode.
So once I come out of full screen mode - then the multiple windows open.

Preview multiple video tracks at the same time.
This may have already been covered at some point on here but I was unable to find it. Please forgive me if it has.
I'm editing a 2 camera presentation for a company. I've laid both cameras in the sequence. Camera 1 is on V1 and Cam 2 on V2. They are in sync and ready to go. My questions is, "Can I preview or monitor both tracks at the same time as if I was switching this live?" I want to be able to preview cam 1 at the same time cam 2 is playing on the canvas so I know when to cut V2 and switch to V1. Is this possible to do in FCP? Thanks in advance for any help you can give me.
Thanks!
MikeIt's not your only option, though you could do that if you wish.
You can still finish the edit with multiclip...(provided your clips are still in sync)
With your playhead at your last cut point, option-click on V1 to activate it's track selector as the only one active, then hit the 'f' key (this will load clip one in the viewer at that point in time). Set an inpoint on clip 1, the do the same for V2 (clip 2)
Next select both clips in the browser and hit control-click / Make Multiclip. Choose 'Synchronize using: In Points', click ok.
Now dbl-click the new multiclip in the browser, make V3 active and hit F-10 (overwrites the multiclip onto V3)Next, dbl-click the V3 multiclip in the timeline, go to the top/center button of the viewer and set the Sync to 'Open'. Then, single-click in an open space in the timeline, place your playhead at the head of the new V3 multiclip and hit the space bar. You should see both clips rolling in sync in the viewer.
Check the manual for Multiclip button bars and any additional settings like activating 'Multiclip Playback'.
K
PS - you might want to duplicate your working timeline to test this procedure, then you can always delete the old clips and drop your V3 multiclip on to V1 to finish the edit. -
Can I show two angles at the same time in the final edit rather than alternate with Multicam?
Stack two clips on top of each other and reduce the sizes. I think that's what you want.

How to open multiple hotmail accounts at the same time ?
Hi,
Seems maybe normal for some people but I coming from internet explorer and with this explorer I was able to open multiple hotmail accounts at the same time, by default firefox can't do that, is there some setup to modify to open these at the same time ?
Thanks in advance for any help.

Problem running multiple folder actions at the same time
Hi,
Does anyone have some experience running multiple folder actions at the same time?
I've written a Applescript folder action that processes some files. When adding some files, the script starts and all goes well. The processing of each file takes a few minutes, but all files are processed correctly.
However, when adding some new files to the dropfolder, while the folder action is all ready processing other files dropped a few minutes earlier, the process that is all ready running immediately aborts and the folder action is relaunched on the new files, leaving the old files for what they are...
The same problem occurs with multiple folders, each having a folder action attached. When dropping files in "Folder A", the script starts processing. But if someone droppes files in "Folder B", The script of folder A aborts, and the script of folder B starts processing. When adding more files to the folders, the result is the same. In some casses, when the last dropped files are processed, the os continues where the operation was aborted on the previous files. But this not always happens. To make things worse, when you remove the items from the folders afterwords, the folder actions starts running again on items no longer present in the folder !!!!
Does anyone know how I can prevent the folder action being aborted when new files are dropped and placing the new files in "Hold", until the previous files are processed? How can I prevent a folder action being aborted when a item is dropped into another folder?
I've written a small script to test this behaviour. Just create one or more folders and attach the script below. Drop a item into the folder, wait a few seconds and drop another one in the same or another folder. To monitor what happens please check the console.
on adding folder items to this_folder after receiving added_items
set FolderName to this_folder as string
set ItemName to added_items as string
repeat with theIncrementValue from 1 to 15
delay 2
do shell script ("logger \"Folder: " & FolderName & " - Item: " & ItemName & " - Step: " & theIncrementValue & "\"")
end repeat
do shell script ("logger \"Folder: " & FolderName & " - Item: " & ItemName & " - Done...\"")
end adding folder items to
Thanks for any feedback.That is pretty much the way Folder Actions work, especially since AppleScript is not multi-threaded. If you are using them as some intermediate step in a workflow, you might rethink the way you are handling the files (for example, use a droplet instead). Other options would be using launchd to watch a path or a shell script on a different thread.

Can someone please tell me how to retrieve deleted text. i was clearing old texts when a new one came through at the same time and was deleted also. My last update was iOS 8.1.2
You restore from a backup that was created after the text was received but before it was deleted.
But if you literally deleted it right after it came in, then it's not recoverable. Have the other person resend the text. -
Multiple running queries at the same time
Hi!
I looked around (and RTM) for this but didn't find anything, so I'm asking here.
I have quite a few long running queries (data loading and such things, warehousing stuff), and I need to be able to run multiple queries/statements at the same time. In TOAD I can do this, start a procedure and while it is running I can do SQL statements in another session tab (it supports threaded sessions - it starts queries in their own background thread/session).
When I start a long running procedure or query in SQL Developer I can not do anything until the procedure execution finishes. Is there any way (setting/preference) to enable SQL Developer to be able to run multiple queries at the same time?
I really would like to move away from TOAD, but this is a major showstopper for me.
Thanx for any tips.
AlexHi!
This post is going to be a little longer, but I have to clarify things out.
I did not mean to throw any wild accusations, because I did my fair share of RTFM and searching the help. I can tell you that if you put any of these in the help search box:
session
non shared
non-shared
connection
concurrent <- I guess this one should yeld something
multiple
spawn
you won't find anything usefull, the article that comes closest, is this:
"Sharing of Connections
By default, each connection in SQL Developer is shared when possible. For example, if you open a table in the Connections navigator and two SQL Worksheets using the same connection, all three panes use one shared connection to the database. In this example, a commit operation in one SQL Worksheet commits across all three panes. If you want a dedicated session, you must duplicate your connection and give it another name. Sessions are shared by name, not connection information, so this new connection will be kept separate from the original."
It does not mention any spawning of non-shared connections from the current one, nor it does mention using a accelerator key combo. But since there could be written something about it, I guess you could call it a documentation bug, because it does not provide any clue to this functionality. The help is definitely of no help in this case. As you can see, I do not throw accusations without trying to find out something first. I guess if someone is not as deep into SQL Developer as you are, there is no way for him/her to know this.
OK, I tried your suggestion, and (sadly) it does not work as I suppose it should.
Here's what I did:
- start a new connection, and enter the following code in SQL Worksheet:
declare
j number;
begin
for i in 1..1000000
LOOP
j := sin(i);
end LOOP;
end;
As you can see, it doesn't do much besides holding the connection busy for a while when executed.
- start a new non-shared connection from the first one using CTRL-SHIFT-N (as you suggested) and put the following statement in the new SQL Worksheet (with "__1" appended to connection name)
select sysdate from dual;
- go to the first SQL Worksheet and execute the procedure
- while the procedure is executing, go to the second SQL Worksheet and hit F9.
The sysdate is returned as soon as the first SQL Worksheet finishes and not any sooner. It may run in separate session, but the result is not returned before the other session is finished doing what it is doing. I guess the correct behaviour would be to return the sysdate immediately.
I verified this behaviour repeating it 3 times starting with a new instance of SQL Developer, each time connecting to another schema and spawning the new non-shared session. The database used was Oracle 10.2.0.3 EE on RHEL 4 UPD3.
The concurrent execution lacks concurrency. The statements might be executed concurently on the database (i did not went the extra mile to verfiy this), but the returning of results is just not independent of other sessions. To the end user this is as much concurrent as it is serial execution.
I hope developers get this issue straightened out soon, as I said, I'd love to move away from Toad, but I'll have to wait until they fix this out.
Is there anything else that can be done to make it behave correctly?
Kind regards

Reminders: How to view Todo's from multiple Exchange accounts at the same time
Does anyone know of an IOS app that:
Displays a concatenated view of all Tasks from all of my (3) exchange accounts.
The problem is, that I cannot see what tasks I have for e.g. today without going in and out of all of the Exchange accounts. Just like the calendar is able to view all of the appointments in different colors, I would like the reminders (or a simliar app) to do the same.
Yes, I'm willing to pay for an app, it's not that :-)
Thanks for any input!

Multiple iTunes open in multiple 'user accounts'- at the same time
We have three people in our family, each with their own iPod/iphone, we sync our iPod/iphone on the same computer but in different ‘user accounts’ in xp.
Now the problem is ; only one iTunes program can run at a time, so if one person is downloading a podcast and another logs into their user account then they can’t open iTunes because it is open in another user account already.
There must be a way to run multiple iTunes at the same time in different user accounts?
Anyone?
I’m running XP on an i7 machineWelcome to AD!
Sadly, there is not a way to do this.

Is there a way to rename multiple Itunes songs at the same time
Is there a fast way to rename multiple Itunes songs at once, instead of renaming one song inside Itunes at a time? For example; So I can select multiple songs at once and rename each songs Genre all at the same time? Without needing to rename song by song?
Casey ComputerYou can click on multiple songs, and change info in the Get Info > Info screen. This applies to most fields EXCEPT Name. iTunes has never allowed the simultaneous change of Name of multiple songs, presumably on the grounds that it is usually an error to do so.
Regarding Genre, yes, this can be changed for multiple songs at once, using the Info tab of Get Info. -
How do you change multiple songs genre at the same time
How do you change multiple song's genre at the same time with out during them one a time in ITunes on Windows 8?
You can select a range of songs by selecting the first, then holding shift when clicking on the last. You can ctrl+click to add or remove from the selection. Once you have a selection press Ctrl+I to Get Info. Type in the new Genre and press OK.

Multiple scripts running at the same time?
Is there a way to have multiple scripts successfully running at the same time?
At the moment if I start a second script while the first one is still running, the second one completes successfully but the first one stops. This seems to be because the first one is no longer the active document once the second one opens so can't continue.
Is there another way to script things like this so that multiple can run independently at the same time? You might ask why I'd want to run two at the same time and not just wait, but i've setup an asp.net web form front end and having problems if two people click the button around the same time.
I'm guessing this isn't going to be possible and i'm going to have to look for ways of doing this in asp.net instead and somehow queue the requests so you have to wait longer if the script is already running?
Thanks,

This is correct. The scripting interface to PS is single-threaded so you will need to queue up requests. -
Multiple users draw at the same time
Hello there,
I am very sorry if this is the wrong place for posting this question.
I am trying to create a java2D application where multiple users can collaborate to draw on canvas (at the same time from two or more machines). The first user should act as a server and all other users should be the clients. I want the drawing to occur in real time. I have some ideas (like using Monitors and java synchronization) on how to do it but I am not sure if this is the right way to approach such a problem.
Also I know that I will need something like a Buffer to store changes and a way of communication...
I would appreciate it if anyone could help me. Guidance or a simple example that can help me to understand the logic behind it so I can develop it myself.
Thanks in advance for your time...I've implemented this project to provide "whiteboard" capability to an existing chat client. The "model" for the drawing was an SVG document (rendered using Apache Batik) and the communication between clients was the SVG (XML) snippets and their location in the document.
Only difference is that one-to-one was supported with clients. One-to-many required a server-side component, but there's no reason one client couldn't have acted as the server.
So my recommendation is SVG, then your communication layer is really a simple XML document editing protocol. Our protocol is here but was never approved as a XEP by the XMPP council. The date's wrong; that protocol was updated as recently as 2008. -
Can ADF keep multiple pages open at the same time?
My company is currently developing an application to upgrade a client's FORMS system to one based on ADF. One of our client's biggest complaints with the new technology is that he can't work on many tasks at the same time, because our application can't work with "tabs" or "different windows", like Forms can with the "open form ()" function.
Currently, we use a page called "main.jspx" with the main menu and a region under it, where we load all the "jsff" pages, which do all the different tasks in their systems (like autorizeBuyOrder.jsff, createNewOrder.jsff, etc...).
Right now, I can only have one "jsff" page loaded on the region at once, and I wanted to make my application able to load and keep track of as many as the user wants. I was thinking on something like a tabs system, or multiple windows system. Does ADF provide any elegant way to do this? Any material you can recommend me?
Much appreciated,
