What Compressor is needed for files from a Canon T2i on it's way into FCP?

Hey internet,
I bought a Canon T2i and Final Cut Pro hoping to start off a great little film making project.
I shot a bunch of footage in 1080/720 @60fps. (hoping to get some nice slowed down shots in the future..)
The problem is, now I'm seeing all this talk about Conversion/Compression/Codecs etc. And when I'm looking at my footage (drag and dropped) into FCP it's weird sizes and takes FOREVER to render/export!
All I want is to film, import, edit, export, show to friends/family a great looking video..
What am I missing? Please give me some tips on at least where to start.
Thanks.

<rant>I would say this is something to figure out way before you start shooting, or maybe even before buying the camera. Post-production with these DSLRs is way more complex than most people think.
Learn your tools and set up workflows before you start projects like this, or you will always end up fooling around in post-production.
One of the issues with FCP, is that you mostly can drag and drop video into the timeline, even though FCP really does not supports it properly.
Shooting everything at 60p is not really a good idea, unless you really know what you are doing. You should have planned on what shots you wanted in slow motion, and shot the rest at 24p or 30p.</rant>
On the bright side, learning from mistakes is always good
Tips 1: What you want to do before bringing DSLR video into FCP is to transcode it to ProRes 422. Try to start by using the preset called *Apple ProRes 422* in Compressor.
Tips 2: Search for DSLR FCP workflow on Google.

What permission is needed for a login to access the restored database(backup from different server)

what permission is needed for a login to access the restored database(backup from different server)
frequently reach the situation, when vendor restores a database, but he cannot access it unless I remap or add his login to the restored database. What permssion can grant the vendor so that he can but only can access the database he restored, not all other
databases.

Hi George,
According to your description, When you move a database from one server that is running SQL Server to another server that is running SQL Server, a mismatch may occur between the security identification numbers (SIDs) of the logins in the master database
and the users in the user database. As other post, you can use the sp_change_users_login stored procedure to map SQL Server logins. Also , you can use the following statement after doing the restore database. It will
fix the mis-mapped SID inside the restored DB.
ALTER USER <username> WITH LOGIN = <username>
For more information, you can review the following article.

Can someone tell me what settings I need for ipad texting. Went to Mexico and now can't get the texting to work at all on ipad. Thanls

Can someone tell me what settings I need for ipad texting. I went to Mexico and when I returned the texting does not work on my ipad. The support at Apple wanted to charge me to get info.
THanks

Can't address the problem directly, cause even though my iPad4 is Cell+Wi-Fi, I've never put a SIM in it and never had the need to text, SMS or iMessage, from it. When away from the office or home wireless network, I tether it off the iPhone. Skype, both text and video, work just fine thru the Wi-Fi link, though.
HOWEVER, when I was hashing out the contract details to get the iPhone 5 about 14 months ago at Telcel, the representative distinctly mentioned that both Visual Voicemail as well as iMessages would be included in the package and they would be mandatory cause "I was getting a (subsidized) Apple iPhone" on a 24 month leash. Then when the gizmo came out of its box for SIM installation and activation, she went thru the motions of making sure both were working properly. So I assume the carrier has some say in the matter.

What is the sequence for upgrading from 10.4.11 to lion

What is the sequence for upgrading from 10.4.11 to lion. Can't use many apps without it. HELP

Quicken is an example that the OP noted is important to her, too!
Intuit makes it very difficult to find this link?!
Everytime I want to find it to post it for someone else, I have to Google: "cnet quicken 2007 for lion" and then in top listed link: Topper Kessler's review for CNET, I find the direct link to Intuit
This program will work with Quicken 2005, 2006 and 2007 data files directly. If you have a data file from an older version, such as I did, Quicken Deluxe 2002, you must use the PPC version of either Quicken 2006 or 2007 to update the data first; and then the data will work in Quicken 2007 for Lion.
For other PPC programs that require Rosetta, I installed Snow Leopard (with Rosetta) into Parallels 7 in Lion:

What Equipment is Needed for CCNP Security Lab

Hello,
Im Looking to find out what Devices are needed for a ccnp security home lab. I keep hearing that 2 5510's are a must for labbing. The downside Is the Prices avg $800 each on the low end. I also saw some ppl had an ips in their lab. Im looking to find out what is 100% needed. I alredy have a lab in place used for my ccnp r&s.
Thanks

I would also say that two ASAs is a must to practice with them. But in my opinion, 2 5505 SecPlus are enough. What are the differences to the 5510? You configure subinterfaces instead of vlan-interfaces. But that's something you know from R/S. And the failover is only stateless, but failover in general also works. Sof if you find these ASAs for less money, take them. IPS is probably the topic where most CCNP Security students are least familar with. So owning a sensor would also help.
And don't forget that the bigger CCIE-Training vendors have complete labs for rent with all you need for CCNP Sec preparation. That could also save some money.

What software is needed for system recovery? (cont'd)

What software is needed for system recovery of a Toshiba Satellite Pale8u-02p01D (also known as L355D-S7901) running Vista?
If I can just get the name/number for the recover software I will get it from eBay.
Thanks!
Solved!
Go to Solution.

Satellite L355D-S7901
If you want to look for that on eBay, look for the recovery discs for the model above. I doubt you'll find them there.
You can order them from Toshiba, of course.
   Order Toshiba Recovery Media
And you might get them cheaper from a third-party vendor.

You have two alternatives:
(1) Upgrade to PSE 9,10 or 11. (2) Download and install the free Adobe DNG converter to convert your raw files to the Adobe universal Raw format and the files will open in all versions of PSE (keep your originals as backups and for use in the camera manufactures software)
Windows download click here DNG Converter 7.3
Mac download click here DNG Converter 7.3
You can convert a whole folder of raw images in one click. See this quick video tutorial:

You decide which one by the way you use "new".
