What do you think of this workflow?

I use FCP's 3-Way Color Corrector quite a bit in my editing workflow. When I send to Color I find the color-correction from FCP doesn't translate so I was thinking about exporting my video as a self-contained QuickTime and then reimporting it into FCP so my initial color-correction is "baked in." Then, make cuts at the mark of each edit and send the new timeline to Color to really treat the footage. What do you think?

I've found myself in the same boat. It is too bad the 3-Way Color Corrector values don't translate exactly to Color -- even close would be nice . Your proposed workflow runs the risk of adding exponential time to the post production process. I'd just take some time to match the looks from FCP in Color, then make grades out of them. jkorosi has an excellent point that by "baking in" the look, you may be limiting yourself in Color. It's an incredibly powerful app, and IMHO, is more capable of properly handling original footage. For example, losing Color's nuisance and ability to manipulate depth and detail in tonality because you baked in contrast, seems like a mistake.

What do you think of this Design for Multiple Threads

Hi Java Experts ;
I'm curious to know what you think about this design for a multhreaded app i'm working on.
I have a controller thread that (a.) creates threads and (b.) keeps a reference to threads that it creates (by sticking them in a hashtable along with the generated Id for that thread).
When a created thread completes its job, it decrements the thread counter and removes its reference from the hashtable before it finishes its run method.
Now here's the interesting part in my controller thread i'm creating new threads on the fly with this infinite loop
     public void run(){
          while(true){
               try{
                    Thread.sleep(500);
               }catch(InterruptedException e){
               if(threadCounter<maxThreadCount && moreJobsToDo.size()>0){
                    createDomainThread();
          }//end while
what do you think about this pattern ? My goal is to maintain about 200+ created threads running at all times with this pattern.

jeff kesslerman's book says about threads
"5.2.3 Threads
The impact that threads have on RAM footprint isn't a problem for most programs, but running threads do need space to store their stack state, and the system- specific data structures do consume memory.
Because runtime implementations vary widely in how threads are handled, you might encounter situations where the impact threads have on footprint is significant. For example, some ports of the JRE create a heavyweight OS process for each running thread. In an application that uses many threads, this means that thread costs, rather than class or object costs, can become the dominant factor in the program's memory consumption.
You shouldn't avoid using threads-they're necessary in many cases, and generally don't have a large impact on footprint. However, you should be aware that the impact can be very different across runtimes. This is one of the reasons it's a good idea to measure performance characteristics under your program's different target environments. "
Question #1: how does garbage collection go about clearing the stack state, and the system- specific data structures that consume memory.
Question #2: in my situation, each worker thread's activity is not as brief as a simple server request. Each thread does a lot work and does a lot of network connections. on average I would say 100 http request - each of which can be easily blocked or delayed significantly. Therefore each worker thread may operate for between 2 - 10 minutes.
Do you think thread pooling is useful in this situation ?

thanks

you can't go wrong with chenming... the styling is obvious, why pay more for an antec...
wonk will tell you antec doens't make its own stuff....
i guess this means chen ming makes Antec Cases... lol makes sense... chen ming has always been an awesome case
just so cheap compared to an antec
EDIT: LOOOOL i found a really good one:
Chenming Charcoal Black Entry level server case
ANTEC Black Performance Series II SOHO File Server Tower ATX Case
look familiar? lol antec=losers

+"A lithium-ion battery provides 300-500 discharge/charge cycles. The battery prefers a partial rather than a full discharge. Frequent full discharges should be avoided when possible. Instead, charge the battery more often or use a larger battery. There is no concern of memory when applying unscheduled charges"+
Seems to make sense..
I knew that lithium-ion batteries have no memory concerns, but still I thought that it was a good idea to charge and discharge the battery of a new iPod (or laptop) at least the first time..
Any thoughts?
Message was edited by: acidbahia

The reason it's sometimes recommended to do a full discharge/charge cycle on a new device is to calibrate the battery indicator. It doesn't do anything for the battery itself.
The quote you've given agrees with everything I've been taught about lithium-ion batteries.

What do you think about this product ?

Hi,
I want to have access to SAP ECC 6.0 for personnal use, so I find a hard drive in the following web site :
http://www.erpselftraining.com/product/SAP-server-MCOD.html
Please can you tell me what do you think about this hard drive ? has anyone already tried it ? do you advise it ?
Your answers will be appreciated.
Kind regards.

is it for learning purpose ? then why dont you just download the demo versions of SAP!!

What do you think of this book: "Programming and Problem Solving with Java"

Hello Everyone:
This may be a strange post but I am wondering if anyone has read this book and what do you think of it?
Book Information
Title: Programming and Problem Solving with Java
Authors: Neell Dale, Chip Weens, Mark Headington
Publisher: Jones & Bartlett
Thanks for any comments

No believe me the book is bad! The only reason I asked is I am in a university class that uses those two books for there course. The author messed up on HelloWorld.java with 4 errors at compile time! How can anyone be that stupid since they are the ones who are supposed to be teaching me the fundamentals of Java. Anyhow I just wanted other people's thoughts about the books.
Thanks again for your input.

What do you think of this plan for a DVD?

In order to avoid problems with the interaction between the TITLE and MENU remote buttons I've reported in http://discussions.apple.com/thread.jspa?threadID=2151541&tstart=0 and further problems with the remote RETURN button, I am considering designing my DVD as follows:
Main menu with four buttons:
1) Play track 1
2) Play track 2 with audio stream 1
3) Go to chapter menu
4) Play story in track 2 with audio stream 2
Chapter menu with a button for each chapter and a button to return to the main menu
Disable remote TITLE button in both menus, both tracks, and the story
Set remote RETURN button in main menu to go to chapter menu
Set remote RETURN button in chapter menu to go to main menu and highlight button 3
What do you think? Is it weird that the remote TITLE button would be disabled? Is it weird that the remote RETURN button would go down from the main menu to the chapter menu?

Best book on the market. The Apple Pro Training Series are what we use for Apple authorized certification training. The author also has fantastic video training at Ripple Training.

What do you think of this vector based illustration that I made?

TTell me what I need to work on and how. Thanks in advance.

Your trace over the image is fairly accurate as regards the trace. Here I removed most of the color and laid it over the photo.
Your treatment of the subject is flat, uninspiring, don't ya think?
One way of rectifying that is to use mesh fills so you can add highlights, darker regions and "easily" modify them as you go. This would give the drawing some dimension. You could also go for making a bazillion polygons to go for a more modernistic interpretation.
But we have no idea of what you are wanting to achieve. It would be easier (and more time effective on our part), if you pointed to similar drawings that you wanted to emulate. Else we could give a hundred ways of drawing it that do not fit your goals, whatever they are.

What do you think of this mixing?

This is the first time I've tried mixing using EQ and compression. I'm not going for a Grammy here, but I need to know it doesn't sound entirely amateur. What does everyone think? Thanks for your input.
EDIT: Accidentally posted this early, uploading MP3 now...

A good mix. Nice and clean and has a good sense of the auditory field (good stereo range). Bass drum for a dance track is pretty weak. It's good sounding so it's not the mix per se but it didn't have the thump you'd want to for a club dance mix. I have a nice, high end sub system as one of my out put choice and no matter how much I turn up the bas, it didn't thump like I'd want to see. You have to think in terms of how it would sound over a clubs PA. Is it going to make peoples backsides move. I'm sure you know that better than me since it's the kind of stuff you like. Still, that kick drum as to thump. Might be because I was on a boat launch last night that has a dance club and was listening to dance mixes half the night but to folks moving, it's gotta be pumpin'.
Depending on what you used for the drum sample/track, I'd duplicate the track. If it is a 'full drum set' track but the elements of the drum sample/track are editible, duplicate the track a couple of time and strip away all but the kick drum and start EQing only that.

What do you think of this printer?

Hi all new to this
What i was looking for is what do people think of xerox as digital printers for instance the xerox 242 whats it like? Anyone had any experience of using xerox digital printers?
thanks in advance
erminza

Well this is a place you can find reviews:
http://www.office.xerox.com/multifunction-printer/color-multifunction/docucolor- 242-252-260/news-enus.html
It essentially is a color laser multifunction machine.
The advantage of such machines is the speed of reproduction.
The disadvantage is that drums can make cost of maintenance especially high when compared to inkjets. If the purpose of it is to make color photos that last a long time, an inkjet may be better for you. If you are in a mass production office, having a color Xerox machine can be very good.

What do you think of this Mac?

Hello very good. I'm from Spain and I'm translating this with a translator. Sorry if you not understand what I mean.
Is the Mac mini from 799 € (Apple Store in Spain)
2.5 GHz: 500 GB
Intel Core i5 dual core 2.5 GHz
4 GB memory
500 GB hard disk con1
AMD Radeon HD 6630M
OS X Lion
The use would give is to work with photos, videos, skype, email, imovie, iphoto, virtual machines (windows 7, ubuntu, windowsserver 2008 ... open at once, 1 or 2) finally, use enough high and every day. Do you think you have enough performance?Processor does this well? What about RAM?
I hope you can answer, since I am very interested in buying a Mac mini.
Thank you very much in advance, greetings from Spain. Daniel.

con fotos, videos, skype etc, no hay problema con la pequeña.
la cosa es la carga que va a poner sobre 3 machinas virtuales. Claro que se pueden abrir y funcionar de base. Pero les hacer trabajar mucho, y cuanto es 'mucho' en su caso, no sé. Por eso que digo es mejor prepararse por el futuro.
esta hablando de machinas virtuales (virtualbox) o machinas emuladas (parallels etc) ?
y hay esos;

What do you think of this hard drive?

I want to install a second hard drive into my Dual 2.3 G5, bought July 2005.
I was thinking of this one...
http://eshop.macsales.com/item/Western%20Digital/WD2500JS/
Is it compatible with my MAC ?
Dual 2.3 GHz PowerPC G5 Mac OS X (10.4.7) 1.5 GB DDR SDRAM - Apple 20 inch. Widescreen Display

I was wondering on what brand of hard drive I should
be using for my Mac G5. I'm looking for another SATA
internal drive that has about 500 GB and 10,000 RPM.
As far as I know only WD has a 10,000 RPM SATA drive(s) the 'Raptor" series; 36, 74 and 150 GB. Very fast for a boot/system/scratch drive.
So far I've also looked into the Western and I've
read the problems some are facing. Can anyone guide
me to the right hard drive to buy and where to buy it
from?
need to know more about your G5, how old is it ? The newer Raptors may have problems with older G5s

What do you think of this then?

I can tell you everyone I have discussed it with thinks it is the wrong way round, that BT should compensate my friend for the damage they have caused. I do know that Wessex Autism and other agencies will be getting involved and while it is currently at a debt collectors stage, it seems pretty clear that a court would adjudicate against BT given all the circumstances and therefore it seems pointless because BT are never ever going to receive any payment.
Are you sitting comfortably? Then we'll begin...
I understand in December he received a telephone call from BT about saving money on phone and broadband? He has Sky and never wanted to change his set-up but was persuaded by persistance and only agreed to try it to get the person off the phone. At this point comes the crucial part as he is autistic and registered disabled, something that BT seem to think is either funny, irrelevant or both apart from their total inability to admit the catalogue of errors that led to him being without phone or internet and having to contact BT at his own expense by a mobile phone.
In short, the equipment arrived a day late, the connectors would not fit into his landline phone so he was never able to use that, strange then that BT say services had been used.He did not bother connecting the router because he thought the internet came through the phone. He cancelled everything right away and worse still, he was told when he did contact BT that they were not doing wifi in his area meaning he would no longer be able to use the web say on a laptop wirelessly? If he had been told that in the first place then he would never have agreed to anything. And his autism means that he would have had absolutely no chance of understanding or knowing about contracts, verbal or otherwise.
He has not signed a bank order or any contract. Even worse, BT refused to clear the line and he had to wait for Sky to put in a brand new line, thus leaving a vulnerable person without essential communication.
See, BT have never produced any bills by way of letter or email, they cannot substantiate charging anything in fact and as I said, I make no threats here, just to say that what BT have done is not far short of criminal and I personally will ensure that the proper media are given all these facts and that BT will face substantial bad publicity if they do not close this matter, notwithstanding the fact that a personal claim for damages against BT is quite probable, the Ombudsman is currently considering the matter.
In a nutshell, if you bought something from a shop you would have the right to send it back at no cost. And if someone wrote to you demanding £500 with no evidence of anything, would you pay it? Come on BT, do the decent thing or are you to continue to try bullying the disadvantaged?

Thanks for responding in the forum, actually you might tell I am pretty indignant about all of this and before I can give you some basics about what happened I can tell you everyone I have discussed it with thinks it is the wrong way round, that BT should compensate my friend for the damage they have caused.
